Global Monopoly of Technology

As soon as Yao Jianhong said this, he instantly killed the sky.

There is no doubt that the negotiation collapsed here, and Microsoft couldn't let go of its own posture, thinking it was too humiliating and unacceptable.

Don Mattrick and the others left the City of Stars Mansion with expressionless faces, and after returning to their special car, they finally couldn't help but curse: "Madfake!! I have never seen such an arrogant Chinese. "

"BOSS, where are you going now?" the special car actually asked.

"Go home!" Don Mattrick didn't want to stay here for a moment.

At the same time, Sony's global vice president from the trip was also sitting in the car on the way back to the hotel, but his anger was not mainly the Cote d'Azur, but Microsoft's Don Mattrick.

You Microsoft want hard steel, and don't ask me what Sony thinks and just do it?

In short, Sony doesn’t want to be buried with Microsoft’s interactive entertainment department. Even if Microsoft cuts off the game department, it will at most hurt, but it will not hurt. It is an outsider in the home console market.

But Sony is different. The PS business is one of the company's three main businesses at present, and it is the flagship product of Sony Electronics.

As this negotiation broke up, everyone went their separate ways, and Don Mattrick came and went in a hurry.

And Sony people sent people to Wall Street at the first time, trying to find Wall Street's multi-party capital to match it, and in any case to end this damn subsidy war, Sony, who can't see hope, really can't play.

But it is absolutely impossible for this matter to settle down like this.

...

A week later, Microsoft suddenly filed a lawsuit against the Côte d'Azur for alleged subsidy dumping.

Shameless, it automatically ignores its own subsidy operation.

The news spread quickly, quickly causing an uproar in the industry, and stocks of third-party game developers around the world fell.

This lawsuit is undoubtedly sending a strong signal to the market that the good days of third-party game developers, the subsidy bonus that lasted for four months is almost over, and Microsoft has stopped playing, and started to play rudely. lawsuit.

The industry knows that

In this next-generation console war, the Microsoft Alliance can't take it one step further.

When it comes to this kind of lawsuit, the outside world has a lot of discussion, each holding its own words.

Some people think that Microsoft can't afford it, and its own subsidy operation makes this lawsuit seem pale.

Some people also think that the Cote d'Azur is standing on the side of money to engage in vicious competition and bullying customers.

Netizens who eat melons are happy to see similar comments from some foreign media. This is a realization that the Cote d'Azur is a super-giant multinational technology giant.

The question is, isn't the Microsoft store big enough?

Microsoft is a small shop?

Among the top ten listed technology companies in the world, the multinational giant second only to Bluestar Technology, Xiaodian?

Who will believe it?

The ripping posts on the Reddit forums are also popping up one after another.

But what's interesting is that the attitude of third-party game developers is faintly defecting to the Côte d'Azur, but Yao Jianhong is dismissive of such signals.

Because these third-party developers are the worst and can have a platform, of course, it is to encourage Microsoft not to be false and to continue to work.

So they can continue to enjoy the huge dividends that the subsidy wars are event-driven.

In the turbulent shopping mall, there are no permanent friends, only eternal interests.

...

Côte d'Azur company headquarters in the City of Galaxies, regular internal high-level meetings.

Inside the conference room, Yao Jianhong and other more than 20 core executives were already sitting on the conference table in the middle, and only the chief seat was empty.

Not long after, the door of the conference room was opened, and everyone looked over, only to see Luo Sheng walking slowly towards the chief seat.

"What's the situation? I was busy working on the 'Snowman Project' in the Cote d'Azur lab. After a month of retreat, why did I hear that the company and Microsoft were arguing and going to court?"

Luo Sheng said as he walked. After speaking, he happened to come to his seat and sit down. He picked up the water glass next to him and took a sip. Then he looked around and added, "Who will tell you what happened recently?"

Yao Jianhong, the company's No. 2 person, spoke immediately and briefly explained some recent events in the company for Luo Sheng.

The two contemporary technology giants are fighting, and they are all red-eyed. The major media are happy to see it, and they are very keen to hype and fan the flames.

It was originally a battle between Azure Coast and Microsoft in the field of next-generation consoles. As a result, Bluestar Technology Group was also involved.

This is not a surprise, because Valve, Take-Two, 2kGame, R-Star, CDPR, these current top third-party game production companies are all subsidiaries of Bluestar Technology.

Wars between giant groups spread too far, and business boundary conflicts occur from time to time.

Not to mention that such a thing would happen between the two giants, even the war of turmoil within the Bluestar Technology Group was no exception.

For example, Riot Games, Valve and Blizzard Entertainment are also fighting each other, and they started fighting each other to the point of white-hot at the beginning of this year, and so far there is no result.

Just because of the game "Dota", V and Blizzard are fighting. At the same time, because of Riot Games' "League of Legends", V and Riot Games are also fighting each other, and they are also arguing against Bo in court. Don't let anyone.

The game players and fans of the three parties are also fighting each other. With a single keystroke, what are these ugly labels, such as violent white, violent black, Daosilin, Lugou, etc., it is very lively to greet each other.

This relationship keeps getting more and more chaotic, which makes Blue Star's father also express that it is really difficult to deal with.

The company has a quarterly revenue of more than 40 billion US dollars. There are as many as 600 or 700 wholly-owned subsidiaries, holding companies or shareholding companies under the group. Big business...

Just don't care, you go to tear it up, no matter who you love your father.

Maybe Valve finally made it, maybe Riot made it, maybe Blizzard made it.

But Dad never loses, because I'm your dad.

"...It's basically the same thing." Yao Jianhong stopped speaking after he finished speaking.

For a moment, Luo Sheng looked around the crowd and said suspiciously: "It's interesting, Microsoft is going to fight for your life here, but why did I receive a lot of calls from old friends from Wall Street management yesterday who wanted to match up? Will the two sides end as soon as possible?"

As soon as these words came out, Yao Jianhong and others couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and they were also confused.

At this time, one of the executives at the meeting said: "Is it possible that there is infighting in the Microsoft team?"

Yao Jianhong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and immediately said: "It's possible, if I'm not wrong, Sony won't be able to play even if it doesn't want to play, the team is easy to break up if people's hearts are not divided, and infighting is possible, maybe it is Sony went to Wall Street."

Luo Sheng nodded involuntarily.

After a while, Lao Yao looked at the big boss and added, "Mr. Luo, what should we do?"

At this moment, Luo Sheng was thinking, did not answer immediately, and everyone did not disturb, and the conference room fell into silence.
