Global Monopoly of Technology

"Mr. Luo, morning!"

"Boss Luo!"

"Boss!"

Luo Sheng came to the new headquarters of Cote d'Azur today. On the way to the special elevator, all the employees he met greeted him warmly.

Nowadays, the frequency of coming to the company in person has become lower and lower, and the employees working in the new headquarters also find that there are fewer and fewer opportunities to meet the ultimate boss. The employees all take it for granted that Luo Sheng's current career is too broad , it is good to come to the company once a week.

Not long after Luo Sheng arrived at his office, Yao Jianhong came.

"Mr. Luo, Microsoft is on the hook with us." Yao Jianhong went straight to the point as soon as he came in.

"The bar is up? Which section?" Luo Sheng looked up at him, his eyes signaling the other party to sit at will.

Yao Jianhong was not polite, moved a chair over and sat down, handed a paper newspaper in his hand to the desk, and said, "Leaded by Microsoft's interactive entertainment department, in cooperation with old-fashioned manufacturers such as Sony, Nintendo, Sega, etc. We compete, in order to avoid the content slump caused by the large-scale influx of third parties into the host platform, the alliance formed by Microsoft has also followed up with subsidies, and it is very likely to compete with us.”

Next, Yao Jianhong briefly stated to Luo Sheng some recent events on the Cote d'Azur. Recently, it can be said that there has been a lot of waves in the global game industry. The fuse is the strategic adjustment announced by Ubisoft.

Luo Sheng held a water glass and said with a smile: "Microsoft has no confidence, I'm fighting for money, and I'm not reconciled, so I play the gang fight route? Their py deal is a hit and miss?"

Microsoft doesn't have much confidence to fight Luo Sheng's financial resources now, so third parties such as Sony and Nintendo have no such strength, and what Microsoft is worried about, these old first-party manufacturers are also worried about.

The enemy of the enemy is the friend, and it is natural to reach a consensus.

Luo Sheng was not surprised at all.

The two sides chose to face each other, and a fiery subsidy war is about to take place. The global third-party game developers who have mastered the content are simply happy. Just when Microsoft announced this news, the market value of third-party game developers has soared. .

Yao Jianhong said: "Mr. Luo, this is my decision. Originally, I hoped to convince Microsoft to be soft, but I didn't expect things to go the other way, so the amount of loss may be at least ten times higher than my original estimate or even It's ten times that."

Obviously,

Yao Jianhong felt that he was playing a big game and was a little out of it, so he came to Luo Sheng's office for the first time to talk about it.

"Let's fight, it's one thing if we don't have money, but why don't we fight when we have money? Are we going to get moldy? I don't care about the gains and losses of one city and one pool." Luo Sheng said calmly: "Your decision is right, the game The industry is a thriving sunrise industry and is deeply related to the ICT field.

The game console is really not Luo Sheng's ultimate pursuit in this field. The real pursuit is the game supported by the virtual reality interface, which is the real high-tech.

Facing Luo Sheng's affirmation, Yao Jianhong finally felt a lot of peace of mind, and he was inexplicably relieved, because the loss in this fight was absolutely astronomical, and he did not have the right to make a decision. The boss must speak before entering the next step. .

After a while, Luo Sheng looked at Yao Jianhong and asked, "Have you calculated, how long will your competitors' financial resources be unstoppable?"

Luo Sheng never thought about the problem that he would not be able to withstand it at all. What a joke. Once put together, he can quickly make the capital chain of more than 100 billion US dollars circulate. Once a money machine of this scale is in operation, it will cause terror. The energy of such funds has exceeded the total output value of the global game industry last year.

Competitors completely miscalculated Luo Sheng, believing that although he has strong financial resources, he would not be too bloody and would not go into a loss-making business, but Luo Sheng never thought so.

Yao Jianhong, of course, did his homework and answered this question immediately.

...

At the same time, a meeting is also taking place at Sony headquarters, and it happens to be discussing this issue with allies such as Microsoft.

Don Mattrick, the president of Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment Division, is here, and I saw him saying: "I have asked the following departments to do an analysis. Once the subsidy war breaks out with the Côte d'Azur, both sides will lose 2,000 in a day. It starts at $10,000, and at this rate of loss, our budget can last for about half a year.”

Nintendo's vice president murmured to himself: "It's crazy, once the force is exerted, no one dares to stop, and once it is withdrawn, all previous efforts will be wasted, and you can only keep on dying."

...

The amount given by Yao Jianhong was exactly the same as that given by Don Mattrick. After listening to the estimates given by Lao Yao, Luo Sheng said calmly, "Then I will lose 30 million US dollars. If the opponent has to stand it, then I will lose 50 million. U.S. dollars, if competitors are not reconciled or give up, then they will lose until they give up.”

Ruthless!

Yao Jianhong secretly smacked his lips. With this amount of loss and speed, he would have to lose more than 9 billion US dollars in half a year, and more than 18 billion US dollars a year. Is this something that people dare to do?

With Luo Sheng's unswerving decision-making, Yao Jianhong didn't have too many concerns, and he just talked about other things.

There is a fierce competition between the first parties of the game around the game content. There is no doubt that the third-party game developers who produce the content have become the direct beneficiaries. These game companies are subsidized, which is also the direct reason for the recent surge in stock prices. .

The new round of next-generation console war is not only attracting attention in the game industry, but also in the technology industry and Wall Street. The high-end hardware in the game console also represents the precision manufacturing of the semiconductor industry in today's world. The carrier of the ninth art cannot be separated from it. high tech.

And Luo Sheng threw a "catfish" in the game industry, and the whole industry is facing a precursor to a major reshuffle. Whether a new king ascends the throne or an old overlord is reasonably strangled, the industry and the people who eat melons are all looking forward to it. Even more delighted.

However, just when the eyes of the outside world were attracted by this next-generation console war and talked about it, Luo Sheng had already withdrawn and moved to other fields.

...

In Shencheng, Luo Sheng's special car team is on its way to the Xiongxin Electronics Super Factory.

Qin Weimu also sat beside him and chatted.

"Last year, the total net income of the family fund was 33.2 billion yuan, and I won." Qin Weimu looked at Luo Sheng with a smile and said, "As the euro zone sovereign debt crisis intensified in 2010, I once again boldly predicted that Greece will soon welcome It's a 'life and death situation', if the situation gets worse, it may declare bankruptcy this year, later next year, and big countries in the euro zone such as Italy and Spain will also be threatened."

Luo Sheng turned to look at her: "So confident?"

Hearing the words, Qin Weimu carefully analyzed: "Greece seems to be almost weak. I was doing a research report the year before last. By the end of 2009, Greece's debt accounted for 124.9% of GDP, and at the end of last year, this ratio has been It climbed to 142.8%. The total debt that Greece is accumulating now has reached 337 billion euros.”

"In addition, according to the revised budget deficit of the Greek Ministry of Finance at the beginning of the year, it expanded by 14% to 7.246 billion euros, exceeding the target of 6.924 billion euros and the initial value of 7.235 billion euros. Simply put, whether it is a 'soft restructuring' or a 'hard restructuring' ' all imply a breach of contract."

Luo Sheng said succinctly: "That is to say, can the family fund obtain greater benefits from it in the future?"

Qin Weimu nodded calmly, and added after a moment: "This is just a small head. From my professional judgment, the European continent under the European debt crisis is likely to have a 'black swan' event in the next few years. ."

Luo Sheng withdrew his eyes and said calmly, "You can go and toss with this, in short, don't lose the fund."

Qin Weimu firmly believes that the European debt crisis will break out a "black swan", and Luo Sheng even knows that the biggest "black swan" event is the Brexit event.

I didn't take these things to heart. Anyway, there will be more money at that time. Luo Sheng is not very interested in finance and money. It has been a long time since he touched money with his own hands.

Changing the world is what he aspires to pursue.

At about 11:00 in the morning, the team arrived at the super factory of Xiongxin Electronics. ASML has completed the delivery and put into use of the latest batch of 45-nanometer immersion lithography equipment, and Xiongxin Electronics has been in production since the end of last year. .
