Global Monopoly of Technology

The two parties quickly reached a strategic cooperation agreement. Luo Shengkai's conditions almost prevented Corning from rejecting it. The US $ 80 million investment issue was approved by the board of directors and North America. This amount of investment cannot shake and affect Corning as a whole.

And this 80 million US dollars investment form is completed through the establishment of a joint venture between the two parties, and the factory is set up in Huaguo. For Corning, the joint venture is dominated by Corning, and the client is in Huaguo. China's investment and construction costs are low, no matter from which perspective to judge this is the best choice.

当然 Of course it did.

Moreover, Corning has entered the Huaguo market as early as 1990, and has been working in this market for more than ten years, and the establishment of joint ventures has become very smooth.

However, the establishment of the production line is not coming soon. The goods that Luo Sheng wants are in a hurry. The joint venture factory will actually be delayed for three years before the production line can be set up. select.

At the moment, this investment of 80 million US dollars does not need to rely on domestic production of mobile phone glass, or rely on Corning to restart the North American production line.

Fortunately, Luo Sheng has a large demand, and the signing of the agreement allows Corning to grasp both hands without worries.

I have to say that Corning Glass, which is a Corning company, is really excellent in terms of resistance to collisions, drops and scratches.

的 The cooperation and negotiation with Corning Company went exceptionally smoothly. Luo Sheng left a group of six or seven-person legal team to negotiate with Corning Company and deal with all subsequent issues.

He will not stay here for a few weeks, time is precious, and the general direction is settled. It is sufficient to leave the following issues to the subordinates.

一 As soon as this matter was finalized, Luo Sheng focused his work on Bluestar Technology in the next time. In short, the high-level summary is-buy, buy, buy!

The last time I came to the United States, I asked Wall Street for money. This time I came to the United States to spend money crazy.

Uh ...

中 At noon the next day, Luo Sheng and Qin Weimu had lunch in the hotel's suite living room.

应 "At your request, I have compiled a relevant content about the game industry, this data is the market statistical analysis I conducted in the case of public stock listing."

In the living room, Luo Sheng poured two glasses of cold drinks and sat down on the sofa. Qin Weimu, who was sitting beside him, took out a document from the briefcase he had brought with him.

I have to do my homework before buying and buying to understand the general situation of the market.

When mentioning work, Qin Weimu immediately showed a clear logic, capable and focused side, and immediately said:

"In the past year, the total market value of several leading game companies in the world has increased by about 7%. I mainly analyze the market value changes of the three major game companies during the first quarter of this year."

"Among them, the market value of Nintendo has increased the most. Under unexpected circumstances, relying on NDS handheld devices has caused a strong whirlwind in the world to make huge profits. The market value of stocks has risen by 15% and reached $ 18.5 billion. In one fell swoop, it became the world's largest pure game manufacturer. And the original largest pure game company EA, due to the poor performance, the stock market value fell by 17%, to $ 16.1 billion. "

"Sony experienced a certain degree of rebound last year after experiencing a significant shrink in market value. The market value increased by 7% to $ 36.974 billion; Microsoft's market value increased by only about 1% due to its large size and stable operating conditions. , Currently reaching $ 288.386 billion. However, such businesses as Microsoft, Sony, Vivendi Global Group, etc. are not just the gaming industry. "

Xu said that Qin Weimu paused for a while. She took a sip of beverage, then looked at Luo Sheng who was browsing the file, and continued to report:

"Data shows that the performance of the hardware industry in the gaming industry is good, but the software content developers are several happy and worrying. The merger of SCiEidos and Nangong Meng has greatly increased the market value. In addition, the market value of Sega, THQ and Ubisoft has increased. About 30%, the fastest-growing market value is Midway. Since the owner of the media predator Viacom included it, the company's market value has increased from $ 843 million to $ 2.06 billion, an increase of about 144%. This company also reported financial difficulties last year. "

She Qin Weimu fully demonstrated her sensitivity to data in her speech, which is also the result of her professionalism.

"But the worst thing is Atari. The company's current market value is only 154 million US dollars, and in February it was 330 million US dollars. In a short period of time, it has almost been cut. As for the Take-Two company you care about, it is also in a difficult situation. At this moment, the stock market value fell by 24%, and the current market value remains at about 1.276 billion US dollars. "

"The overall market value of the global game industry has increased by 7%, from $ 58.5 billion to $ 62.6 billion, but my analysis believes that this growth momentum is still lower than expected. According to the data, the game industry ’s sales volume in the first half of last year significantly exceeded most people. "The opposite is expected in the second half of the year. The main reason is that during the golden business season in November and December, the game sales were much lower than expected."

After a few minutes, Luo Sheng read the data report she had compiled, and she nodded and boasted, "Well, my Mister, one night, I was able to sort out such a detailed material about the current status of the industry. "

Luo Luosheng turned his head and glanced at her suddenly: "Stay up all night?"

Wu Qin Weimu shook his head and said lightly, "No, it doesn't take much time for me."

Luo Sheng did not believe her words at all, and retorted: "Don't die, the duck's mouth is hard. I usually don't see how you make up. This time, your eye makeup is a lot thicker than usual, and your spirit is a bit suboptimal. Just now He yawned when he reported. "

Wu Qin Weimu said stubbornly: "What makeup do you want to have to do with this?"

Luo Sheng immediately said: "That loading and unloading, let's bet to see if there are panda eyes, are you afraid? Nothing to say? Oh, we are also meticulous people ... If you can't come here, you will be beckoned Continue to deal with it. From now on, you are not allowed to stay up late to work, otherwise I can't spare you, you are my person, I have the final say. "

Qi Wenyan Qin Weimu did not respond to him and refuted him, but deep down, he felt sweet because of his overbearing remarks, and gave a secret sweet smile.

Despite the constant warning in his heart, men's mouthfuls of sweet words are not intended, but they just like it, the feeling of being cared for is wonderful.

Uh ...

In the afternoon, Luo Sheng met with the founder of Take-Two, Ryan Blunt. This game company may not be well known to most players, but RockstarGames, a subsidiary of it, is different. The game production company, commonly known as "R Star", has gained a good reputation in the industry, and in the company's work, it is best known as the "GTA" series.

Luo Luosheng would never doubt that at the moment when he was meeting with Ryan Blount in New York, there might be many people in a domestic Internet cafe playing the game "Grand Theft Auto".

This year is not very friendly to Take-Two, and it can even be said to be a very bad year. The company's stock price has plummeted 24%, all of which have huge reasons for the acquisition of the "R Star" company.

In 1998, Take-Two acquired ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Star ", which was also born. The following year," GTA2 "was released. Not only was it unsuccessful, but because of the violence of the game content, it became more and more prominent in the media.

However, as the "GTA3" trilogy ushered in a change, the 2001 "GTA3: New York" sales market received great response and commercial success, and the development of the sequel naturally did not stop. Soon in 2002, "GTA3: The arrival of "Sin City", this time brought a better physics engine and more vehicles. The protagonist's flower shirt image is probably impressed by many players to this day. This time, "R Star" has achieved a greater success.

Soon, "GTA3: San Andres" was released last year. This time, the game map is bigger and more customized. This is naturally a lot of praise, but the famous "real hot coffee" event broke out. However, it has brought a huge crisis to R Star, and even the parent company Take-Two has been affected. This crisis has not yet passed smoothly.

The so-called "hot coffee" incident is the name of a patch. A French player found that the game contained a patch created after the hidden plot.

If you do n’t apply a patch, the girlfriend in the game will increase your favorability to you (player). After the appointment, she will ask you if you want to go into the house for a cup of coffee. The player's picture can only be viewed from outside the room and turned and listened to the sound.

It sounds like a goose, you can enter the room to operate with this patch ...

It can be said that Take-Two is now in trouble, and the market value fell from 1.67 billion US dollars to 1.276 billion US dollars is the best market feedback, and for Luo Sheng, at this time it is the best to include Take-Two in the bag opportunity.

Uh ...
