Global Monopoly of Technology

, The latest chapter in the latest global monopoly of technology!

The press conference is over, and the news has gradually spread and is gradually fermenting.

The whole people launched a new round of heated discussions on the Internet, because the entry of Blue Star Technology and Luo Sheng's high-profile platform for e-sports made this topic the hottest topic nowadays.

Luo Sheng also gained a new title-the number one player.

It has caused widespread heated discussion in the mass society. This high-profile layout of the e-sports industry in Luo Sheng has also forced the capital circle and its industry to re-evaluate and review this industry.

After all, Luo Sheng's vision seems really accurate, although there is no data to support that the future of the e-sports industry can match the investment scale of Bluestar Technology.

There is no doubt that Luo Sheng's move is to change the domestic e-sports pattern and the global e-sports pattern with his own power. It is not an exaggeration, and this day and year have been unanimously recognized by industry insiders. This is a new era for the global e-sports industry.

WCG has become a thing of the past overnight, the end of an era, and the birth of a new era. The official WCG has been in a state of circle.

WRPO and the global e-sports industry have entered a brand new era. The high-profile entry of Bluestar Technology allows more e-sports practitioners to resolutely spend their youth in this field and chase their dreams of e-sports.

Before that, almost every e-sportsman was confused or even afraid of the future. Once he calmed down, he would worry about the future, worry about the future, and worry that he could only stay in the Internet cafe for instant noodles.

But now it's different, because Luo Sheng gave them a brand new and promising future, so that they have enough reasons to pursue their dreams without worries.

No more details were disclosed at the press conference, but once the WRPO was announced, it has become the industry to surpass WCG. The competition has not yet been held. We must know that WCG has successfully held six sessions.

But this is the power of the big group. Although the Korean Samsung also strongly supports it, Microsoft also sponsored WCG last year, but the intensity cannot be compared with the Blue Star Technology Group.

Meaning and form are essential differences.

The purpose of Samsung's sponsorship of WCG is not to promote the development of the e-sports industry. The goal is purely to promote its display products.

The Blue Star Technology Group announced this time that entering the e-sports industry is the core of the sword, which is the e-sports itself.

Obviously, this is a fundamental change, which is why employees in the e-sports industry now undoubtedly directly regard the WRPO event as a benchmark for the industry, surpassing the existence of WCG. Before that, they all regarded WCG as the industry. Benchmarking.

The US $ 1.5 billion terrorist budget, the global market size of the entire e-sports industry (excluding peripheral radiation benefits) is only about one-third of this number, or even less. To some extent, the amount invested is directly Determine the gold content and influence of the WRPO event brand.

Now the most concerned people in the e-sports industry is when will the first WRPO event be held?

Which e-sports projects will be selected?

These two issues are of great concern to every e-sportsman. After all, this is a matter of vital interest and future, especially professional players. Unfortunately, this media release did not make further disclosure. Now, it all depends on guessing, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.

In fact, it is not that Bluestar Technology does not want to disclose, but it has not yet been negotiated, although the efficiency is already super fast.

...

The next day, Bluestar Technology Headquarters.

In a conference room, members of the WPRO Organizing Committee, Zhang Bowen, and Luo Sheng were present.

"About the selection of WRPO events ..." Luo Sheng turned his attention to Zhang Bowen at half of his words: "Lao Zhang, what's going on with Blizzard?"

"Blizzard is very supportive of us, but our offer to get e-sports competitions for all games under Blizzard was rejected." Zhang Bowen said.

"If you don't agree ... who is in charge of talking to Blizzard? Let him directly tell Blizzard's head, if you don't agree, I can only buy his company ... Don't go anymore, immediately ask someone to talk to Vivendi Talk. "Luo Sheng said neatly.

As soon as this word came out, everyone in the meeting couldn't help smashing their lips in secret, regardless of the young and easy-going boss, but it was definitely a ruthless person, who could directly hit the goal and never go round.

"Uh, Luo, are you serious?" Zhang Bowen said for a moment.

"Of course I'm serious. I dropped RMB 11.5 billion into it. Blizzard thought I was promoting their games for nothing, and I was sneaking around. How could there be such a good thing?" Luo Shengyun said lightly.

In any case, the IP authorization of the project must be in his own hands, otherwise he would rather not play, because he is well aware that the decline of WCG is closely related to the wind and water that some e-sports games can run by themselves.

In the previous generation, such as TI events of "DOTA2", "S League of Legends" and other S events, they played more and more hot.

If you do n’t hold IP in your own hands, you have spent a great deal of time and money to make this industry, and finally you have become a martyr, making wedding dresses for others, then at that time Luo Sheng will give herself a few slaps.

For the brand of WRPO comprehensive e-sports events, the IP control of the events in the early stage must be in place. Only after ten or even twenty years has it become an authority in e-sports competitions, and it is not necessary when it is like the Olympic Games. Too concerned.

Because once the industry's absolute authority benchmark is formed, all e-sports projects will be proud of entering the WRPO, and only enter it can be mixed and committed to entering the WRPO as the goal.

By that time, WRPO as an event platform will always be an evergreen tree, and competition events can be metabolism.

"StarCraft" is down, it doesn't matter, follow-up "League of Legends" top, or "League of Legends" is down, it doesn't matter, there will be new e-sports projects on top.

Do WRPO with iron, running e-sports projects.

This is the perfect result that Luo Sheng wants.

Because the life cycle of an e-sports project is too short compared to the traditional game, it is extremely difficult to be strong for ten years. Unlike traditional sports, it can be a hundred years or more.

The e-sports project will be deeply tied to the life cycle of the game in which it is located. The game is unpopular, and this project will definitely be cool.

But eSports itself will not be cold, it will only become more and more prosperous.

The meeting soon ended, and Zhang Bowen decisively contacted the team that was negotiating with Blizzard in North America, so that they no longer had to talk, and went directly to Blizzard's "dad" Vivendi to contact.

Vivendi is a group with outright interest. As long as the price of Luo Shengkai is high enough, it will not hesitate to sell its stake in Blizzard to Bluestar Technology.

...

In mid-September, Blizzard's founder and then CEO, Mike Mohan, hurriedly took a plane to Sioux City and came to visit Luo Sheng.

Because the discussions between Bluestar Technology and Vivendi came to Blizzard's ears, which made Mike Mohan and other Blizzard executives panic and realized that it seemed to be related to the negotiation with the other person some time ago, it seemed to offend this technology giant. .

This is not the key. The key is that they realize that Bluestar Technology is obliged to eat Blizzard in order to force WRPO.

"Mr. Mohan, let me first tell you an inside message, but don't spread it."

At this moment, Luo Sheng was in a company's meeting room to meet with Mike Mohan, the founder of Blizzard. The latter heard his opening remarks and suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart.

Luo Sheng looked at him with a smile and added: "The news is that our people had negotiated with Vivendi Group for one and a half weeks, and finally reached a consensus very quickly. Vivendi Group has promised to hold All 71% of Blizzard Entertainment's equity was sold to me Bluestar Technology Group. I can't tell you the specific transaction price, but the transaction was completed two days ago, which means that I am your new boss now. "

"What?"

Mike Mohan was stunned when he heard the news, because he heard that Bluestar Technology was in contact with Vivendi. There was no news about the transaction being over. How could this be so fast?

Of course soon.

Based on the condition that Blizzard Entertainment ’s current asset valuation is based on a premium of 75%, Vivendi Group has never thought about promoting the development of the game industry. It is to attract blood, so there is no reason to reject this condition. The deal was quickly concluded at a price of $ 3.176 billion.

From an investment perspective, this transaction is the rhythm of Blue Star Technology's profit-making. Of course, Vivendi also feels that he is very profitable, and indeed he is not a loser ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Only Blizzard itself is a loser. "I didn't even know it when I sold it.

The Vivendi Group that got the money turned to Ubisoft as soon as it turned around. To start this game company, Bluestar Technology has a strong cash flow. Even if it is more than three billion US dollars, it can be in half a month. All transferred to Vivendi's account.

This transaction was settled in cash. It is conceivable that Vivendi would only see a ghost if he could refuse.

Of course, Luo Sheng will not take the equity of Bluestar Technology to settle unless the brain is drained.

"It's impossible. Blizzard's earnings are very good. Vivendi cannot sell his equity. You must be kidding me, Mr. Luo." Mike Mohan said quickly.

He was still struggling, hoping it was a joke.
