Global Monopoly of Technology

Hearing this, Gabe Newell was unmoved, thinking that the other party was just bluffing, Luo Sheng saw him with a stubborn head, and directly showed up: "If I go back and build an online game store platform by myself, which is almost the same model as Steam, My BlueSpace social networking site alone has more than 300 million user bases around the world, what does this mean?"

When Gabe Newell heard this sentence, his heart froze, and Luo Sheng continued: "It means that I can easily get a large number of users for the product. Of course, I know that whether the end user accepts it or not depends on the content. Talking, can retain these users, this is not a problem, because Take-Two is almost in my pocket just now, believe me, I will continue to acquire more third-party game developers, these developers Shangdu will release the game on my platform, and I said that once the strangulation starts, I will do my best."

"My Bluestar Technology's financial advantage has completely overwhelmed your Valve. Maybe I should dig all the few third parties on Steam, and even give subsidies. For me, it's just tens of millions of dollars. It’s only a loss of one or two billion dollars. Therefore, I have an online traffic portal that you can’t match, a financial advantage that you can’t match, and a platform content richness that you can’t match. Not only is the quality better than yours, but the quantity is also better than yours. You are many."

Having said that, Luo Sheng looked directly at the other party: "I can even endure five consecutive years of losses to compete with you, but Steam may not be able to survive for a year, so may I ask Mr. Newell, the current Valve company, the current Steam What does the platform use to break my offensive like above? Or do you really have 100% confidence that Steam can survive this strangulation?"

Gabe Newell said blankly: "If you do this, I will sue you for monopolizing market dominance."

Luo Sheng laughed and said, "Then I'll give you a little bit of promotion resources on my platform, but with your current financial resources, how much promotion fee can you give me? But no matter how much, I'm all yours. More than a few times, in the end, the ability to spell money is still needed."

Fat G was silent, and under this silence, his heart felt a chill.

He tried to refute what Luo Sheng said, but found that he couldn't refute a single sentence.

Fighting for users, the drainage advantages of Luo Sheng's many Internet products are enough to make Steam restless; fighting for third parties, Valve's current situation, to put it bluntly, can only bring two or three cats and dogs to Steam, and those big names He can't get a third party at all. On the other hand, Luo Sheng, big-name game publishers and developers like Take-Two have basically been included in his pocket; they can't even fight for funds.

Seeing Fat G hesitate and change his expression inadvertently, Luo Sheng knew that at least he had been fooled, and immediately said while the iron was hot: "In turn, these advantages will all be used by Steam, and indirectly prevent a powerful The birth of a competitor. Know what my biggest hopes for Steam are?"

Hearing the last question, Gabe Newell couldn't help but look at Luo Sheng, who immediately said, "I hope Steam users can be spread all over the world, and even Antarctica has its players!"

These words are so impactful, especially when I heard the sentence "Antarctica has its players", G Fatty's heart jumped, and even at the age of 42, he couldn't help but feel a burst of fire in his heart.

But he quickly regained his senses, calmed down quickly, and said, "So what? At that time, neither Valve nor Steam was mine, it was already yours."

Luo Sheng immediately shook his head and corrected: "It's wrong, it's not yours,

Not mine, but ours. If I can acquire Valve, the company will still operate as usual after the acquisition. I won't even send one of the directors. At most, I will entrust a third-party auditor to check the financial situation. You are still the company's actual boss. "

Obviously, Luo Sheng doesn't intend to overly intervene in the operation of the subsidiary in this field, at least not in the short term. Right now, he just wants to hang up an ID in the game industry to make a foreshadowing of the future layout, and this A strategic vision is still very long-term for now.

After Luo Sheng coaxed, seduced, and threatened, it would be impossible to say that Gabe Newell was not moved, and his firm heart was shaken just like Ryan Blunt...

At the end, Gabe Newell said: "I'm sorry Mr. Luo, I'm afraid I can't give you an answer right away, I need to think about it."

Luo Sheng nodded happily: "It's right to consider it carefully, it should be."

Two days later, news came from Take-Two again. Ryan Blunt successfully persuaded the board of directors. On the same day, Luo Sheng flew to New York again to complete the signing of the M\u0026A contract.

Bluestar Technology officially acquired a 55% stake in the now troubled Take-Two company at a high price of US$475 million. Luo Sheng actually took a fancy to the game developer "R Star", but included its parent company in the bag After that, "R Star" became a subsidiary company indirectly controlled by Bluestar Technology.

Affected by this, the share price of Take-Two has stopped falling a few days ago and continued to strengthen. On the day Luo Sheng acquired the company, its total market value has risen from the initial US$1.276 billion to US$1.8 billion, and remains It didn't fall off.

This result is affected in many ways. For example, Bluestar Technology did not actually interfere with the operation of this company. Originally, the industry thought that Bluestar Technology was the second of Vivendi. After the acquisition of this company, it will definitely be reorganized. I didn't expect Luo Sheng to dump $475 million and basically finish the job.

With the entry of Bluestar Technology, the market generally believes that the troubles Take-Two is currently facing will eventually be solved. Although the latest works of "R Star" have encountered troubles, it cannot be denied that "GTA3" has a commercial impact. Success, the general anxiety in the market was that the work would die prematurely due to the impact of the negative crisis.

Now that Bluestar Technology has endorsed it, and Bluestar Technology has many powerful Wall Street capital as alliances behind it, the situation is completely different.

The world is simple, yet complex.

However, the response of several major VCs of Bluestar Technology is diametrically opposite.

Luo Sheng suddenly and silently entered the game industry in a big way, and the first shot was nearly 500 million US dollars. Not long after the news broke, the call came to Luo Sheng's ear.

Obviously, investors are strongly against him doing so.

Luo Sheng's approach is simply crazy to add risk leverage to Bluestar Technology.

It can be opposed, but not prevented.

However, the investor did not take any extreme actions, so he called Luo Sheng and expressed his opposition, but only verbally.

Now whatever he is tossing about, VCs are waiting for the disclosure of Bluestar Technology's first-quarter audited financial report. Now it has entered three months, and there is less than a month left.

...

This acquisition is also not calm for the game industry. Take-Two is also one of the famous top big-name game developers in the industry. Nowadays, the industry pattern is more and more large-scale media giant groups and large-scale Internet companies. Entering the industry with a lot of banknotes.

In the Internet technology companies alone, there was a giant like Microsoft in the past, and now there is a rising rookie in the Internet technology industry, Bluestar Technology.

For practitioners in the game industry, they are very worried that Bluestar Technology will become the next notorious Vivendi in the industry, but so far they have not seen this trend, which undoubtedly makes the game industry relieved.

People in the industry undoubtedly hope that Bluestar Technology can treat the game industry with the same attitude as Microsoft, instead of coming to this field to harvest a wave of dollars and leave, leaving a piece of chicken feathers in the end.

Immediately after Take-Two was acquired, the next day, news came from Seattle. Luo Sheng signed the contract with his forefoot, and Fat G made a phone call in person. It was a private call left by Luo Sheng. .

agreed!

Facts have proved that G fat can't escape the true fragrance law.

……Dividing line……

PS:

Zhaoling found that some of them were basically new accounts. There was no consumption record at the starting point, and the main business was blank.

What do these people like to say the most?

For example: you can't succeed in this thing, the United States can't make you bigger, and you won't tell you so much.

The most typical is to say that the protagonist's social network, data, and original words cannot be remembered, but the general idea is to throw such a conclusion, and then use the conclusion to "prove" that the author is stupid and naive, living in a dream series.

Zhaoling thinks that these people or similar comments are holding on to the bar. They are not sincere comments pointing out the shortcomings of the book, but sinister intentions to attack the author and set the rhythm, because according to their "conclusions" and in line with them This book cannot go on, if you take and pay attention to his remarks, it will cause you to directly or indirectly accept the psychological blow and imply that you give up, or disrupt your state, rhythm and writing mindset.

Because according to their remarks, the basic setting of this book has been completely denied, how can you write it?

It's not that Zhaoling is persecuted and delusional, because there have always been, and many similar funny comments have been deleted.

Zhaoling hoped that he was suffering from persecution and paranoia, but he also explained here that it is useless, no matter how hard you attack, even if he was angry at the time, Zhaoling will always follow the outline he set.

It's a bit confusing. Zhaoling is also a web writer and has a history of three or five years. Doing this will not affect our writing. How to write the outline is determined, but the puzzle is that we are just a little slap on the street, at most Old bashing, what are you doing to beat people?

Here is also an example to respond to those people's boring comments.

Japan's semiconductors also occupied 50% of the global market share at the most brilliant time in the last world, more than half, when Intel was still a younger brother, the representative Sony Group was so powerful in that era, and finally Japan's semiconductors were sold by Americans. If it goes on, only a few percent will have the era of Intel.

There is a very core point here, that is, in reality, there are some non-US companies that can surpass Americans in a certain cutting-edge field and gain more than half of the market share. This is a fact, you can’t deny it, right?

Here is just a Japanese semiconductor example, there are actually many more.

So why can't the protagonist get up? Double standard playing so slippery? It's all played in the online text...

Wah was beaten to death for being suppressed like this? 5G technology still leads the world, why? Because Wah is the rabbit on the back and one of the five rogues, the protagonist in the novel should be better than this one, as well as the protagonist's halo, and the golden finger of rebirth, why not?

It's a novel.

Because of the protagonist's halo, reborn golden finger, plus the protagonist's own operation, etc., the protagonist's career is sure, and the Americans will definitely fight.

But the ending will definitely not be the same as in Japan, because this is a novel, Lao Mei is the villain, and the villain is done by the protagonist, because this is a novel, and this is not a novel of abuse of the master, so it is written that the protagonist hangs Fighting villains.

The people who posted those comments, and they kept posting them, did they want Zhaoling to write abusive essays about the protagonist being banned by the Americans in various ways? In the current environment of the starting point, in a web article, you write about abusing the master and committing a crime, and when you write about a death, this is not a sinister intention, what is it?

If you like to read this kind of text, Zhaoling can take a private job, you can give me a golden cute, silver cute or something, you ask to set a keynote, I will make a personal order to write a book for you? What do you want to be, as long as I am able, I will try my best to write it for you?

So, holding on to this point, Zhaoling's speculations are two kinds: one is that he doesn't understand it, and his vision is limited; the other is that he knows these things with sinister intentions, but he still says so, the purpose is to bring rhythm and attack Author, isn't it inappropriate to do this for nothing?

Don't worry, Zhaoling won't be swayed by these remarks, but she just sees it appearing for you from time to time, and it seems to have a cycle like a big aunt.

Please count the votes for comfort (╥╯^╰╥), today will continue with four more updates, and it will be on the shelves immediately. Thank you for your support.
