Rebirth of England

Chapter 703 Activision Blizzard

As the sky outside gradually darkened, the atmosphere in the room gradually became ambiguous.

Talulah's legs were very beautiful, slender, straight, and voluptuous.

When facing her, Barron's eyes were always unconsciously attracted by the long legs wrapped in black stockings.

Barron understood that when Talulah received the call and was willing to come here to find him, it actually meant that the girl had made a decision.

With the sudden silence in the room, Barron sat next to Talulah and grabbed one of her hands.

Feeling the heat from the other's hand, Talulah's breathing was inevitably a little faster.

At this time, she was wearing a long skirt. From Barron's angle, he could clearly see the deep career line...

And it can be clearly seen that as he put the girl's slender fingers in his hands and played with them, her breathing became a little faster and her chest was heaving.

After swallowing her saliva, Talulah said with difficulty:

"I, I want to drink some wine..."

It seemed that she still couldn't hide her nervousness. Barron stood up and walked to the wine cabinet:

"Red wine, or whiskey?"

"Red wine..."

The crystal clear wine was poured into the goblet. Talulah took the goblet handed over by Barron, shook it gently, smelled the unique aroma, and then opened her red lips and swallowed the wine into her mouth...

At this moment, before she could swallow the wine, she was embraced by Barron and kissed on her lips.

Not only that, he also pried open the girl's teeth with his tongue, and then went a step further and began to taste the nectar...

"Hmm..."

Only with this exclamation, Talulah felt her consciousness gradually blurred under Barron's "little action", and she didn't know where she was...

...

The "booming" sound on the racetrack made people excited.

When a silver racing car slowly stopped and the driver took off his helmet, it was Barron who could be seen.

"Wow, that was so cool just now!"

At this time, Talulah, who was a spectator in the stands, came to his side and cheered.

Although Barron had been relatively restrained last night, it was still possible to see that Talulah's walking posture was a little strange.

Especially when it seemed to be a sore spot at a certain moment, she always couldn't help but frown.

Before this, Aston Martin's performance in F1 competitions was not ideal, and it was always not in the forefront.

However, after Barron took over the company, he invested a lot in the team, especially after the latest Cosworth engine was used in the Aston Martin team's car. In this year's competition, they won at least one race championship.

This is also the best result of this team in recent years.

Correspondingly, the sales of Aston Martin's latest sports car this year are also satisfactory.

This is not the first time that Barron has tried to drive a racing car. Thanks to his benefits as a reborn person, his body's reaction ability is much better than that of ordinary people.

Therefore, although he cannot reach the level of a professional racing driver, it is still okay for him to drive a racing car occasionally.

Moreover, with his identity, it is naturally impossible for him to really compete in the competition - as the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

At most, he will just make a cameo appearance at this time.

"We are contacting Vivendi and trying to acquire their shares in Activision Blizzard. It seems that they do not refuse to sell these shares, but it is difficult to make concessions in terms of price..."

Pate Friedman of Caesar Fund informed Barron of Vivendi's attitude on the phone.

Yes, Barron has set his sights on Activision Blizzard, a well-known company in the gaming industry.

In 1991, three graduates from UCLA University in the United States met and became friends. After graduation, the three of them co-founded Silicon \u0026 Synapse.

In 1993, the company was officially named Blizzard Entertainment.

It can be said that this company's position among game players is unmatched. It has developed a series of masterpieces such as Warcraft, Diablo, StarCraft, World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, and Overwatch.

Later, Blizzard Entertainment was merged into Sierra Online (later renamed Sierra Entertainment) after several changes of hands, and Sierra was backed by Vivendi Group.

In 2004, Vivendi reorganized its game business and established a subsidiary, Vivendi Games. Vivendi Games consists of multiple departments such as Sierra and Blizzard Entertainment.

In 2008, Activision merged with Vivendi Games, and Vivendi Games' Sierra and Blizzard Entertainment departments were merged into the game publisher giant Activision.

This is the origin of Activision Blizzard.

At present, Vivendi Group still holds about 61% of Activision Blizzard's shares, and they are also willing to sell, but their asking price has scared off many investors interested in Activision Blizzard.

After all, the subprime mortgage crisis has just happened. Not only is the situation of Vivendi Group not good, but other investors will also be very cautious about their investment in order to keep the group running by selling shares of Activision Blizzard.

Baron knows that more than ten years later, Microsoft will complete the acquisition of Activision Blizzard at a sky-high price of nearly $70 billion.

But it is obvious that at this time, he will definitely take over Activision Blizzard, a gaming giant with many game IPs, before Microsoft.

The reason why he hopes to conduct such a transaction is because Barron knows that the gaming industry will flourish in the future.

It can be said that the scale of the game industry in the future will be several times that of the music and film and television industries.

The gaming industry will be the fastest-growing segment of the entertainment industry.

Therefore, it is also very necessary to start the layout from now on.

Of course, compared to Activision Blizzard's current gaming business, which mainly includes PCs and game consoles, the future potential of mobile gaming is even greater.

But at present, the mobile game business is still in its infancy.

And even so, after acquiring Activision Blizzard, the many IPs he owns can still have a very obvious role in promoting the development of some mobile games in the future.

The only thing needed now is to negotiate a suitable price with Vivendi Group so that they are willing to sell their shares in Activision Blizzard...

In fact, there is not no opposition to Barron's desire to acquire Activision Blizzard.

Relative to the past, many people believe that the glory days of Blizzard Entertainment are over. Even though Activision merged with Vivendi Games (including Blizzard Entertainment) to make it larger, the key is that it seems that acquiring this company , does not seem to have much synergy with their other businesses.

Yes, unlike Sony or Microsoft, they also have game console or computer businesses.
