Silicon Valley

　　 John Chambers was busy going public, and the bank sent the vice president of the company to talk about it.

　　 For the time being, AOL is very embarrassed, but their alliance is dead in name.

　　 Cisco is actively sending people to contact MCI, hoping to reach a merger plan!

In December 1989, the game "Lost Viking" developed by Blizzard Company passed Nintendo's review and became the first American game that could be ported to Nintendo. Therefore, some American game magazines also specifically reported this matter, saying it was The future star of American games! But this has angered EA. Blizzard is the future star of American games. What about EA?

　　As a listed company, how can EA see Blizzard riding on it? At this time, Sega came to the United States with the 16-bit game console Mega-Drive. With its own game development capabilities, EA decided to cooperate with Sega electronic game company to develop sports games on Mega-Drive, and formally confront Nintendo!

　　 Didn’t Nintendo look down on my EA games? I will cooperate with your competitor and kill you! ! ! Nintendo can also be regarded as a great enemy for itself. EA is too good, known as the fast gunner in the game industry, making three games in a month, it is simply against the sky! ! !

　　 However, no matter how great the enemy is, Nintendo will be fearless and blow it away! ! !

　　 Nintendo in the 90s was opened, absolutely invincible! The cooperation between EA and Sega is definitely looking for money. Of course, EA is still very profitable by making N games by relying on its fast development speed! And it's also a game publishing company, and it lives by drawing blood from others!

　　 The computer version of "The Lost Viking" can only run on DOS, and it's sold tepidly. Porting to Nintendo is similar.

　　 After all, this game is Blizzard's first game, right to practice. Henry wanted them to develop "Warcraft", but worried that they would not be able to develop it. "Dune 2" is the originator of real-time strategy games. "Warcraft" is the follower of "Dune 2." However, although it follows the trend, it is extremely innovative, creating a precedent for the networking mode!

　　 Come on, just buy Westwood, the game company that produced "Dune 2", merge the two, and develop "Warcraft" together, and then give pointers or two from the side. This is not a big problem!

　　 Henry thought for a while, and felt that he should do this to be the safest!

So I rushed to Blizzard and said to Mike Mohuaimi, Alan Adhan and Frank Pierce: "That's it. I am going to acquire another game company, and then the two will merge to develop a new game. !"

"Mr. Williams, when the company was founded, we signed an agreement, which specifically emphasized that the independent development rights of games belong to us, but now you want to designate us to develop other games?" Mike Mohuaimi said a little dissatisfied. .

　　 Henry secretly smiled in his heart, it seems that you are not convinced!

Henry smiled slightly on his face, took out the game design manuscript he had prepared, and handed it to them, and then said lightly: "This is a game I designed. The name is "Warcraft". If you don’t like this game, I’ll find Other game companies do!"

　　 The three of them carefully browsed the manuscript, and they made exclamation sounds as they read it.

　　 Mike Mowimi and the three people have been stunned by the game designed by Henry. They have a humble attitude and sincerely plead: "Mr. Williams, please give us this game!!!"

　　 "Why, didn't you guys say you want independent game development rights?"

　　 "Mr. Williams, can't we be wrong?" The three said with embarrassment.

　　 Henry thought for a while, it is not a good idea to merge Blizzard and Westwood. I simply set up a game group company. Blizzard and Westwood are just one of the subsidiaries, giving them more independence, cooperation and competition.

　　 As the saying goes, competition can make progress!

　　 If you raise the Blizzard team too fat and make the family dominate, I don’t know if he still has the spirit of innovation? It's impossible to guide them to develop games all the time...

　　 "Well, the game can be left to you, but it needs to be developed in cooperation with other companies. In addition, I will establish a game group company, and Blizzard will be incorporated into the company and become its subsidiary!"

Mike Mohuaimi thought for a while, and said: "No problem!" Actually, there is really no problem. No matter which company Blizzard belongs to, the shares of the three people in Blizzard are not diluted. Have the right to develop the game independently, basically the same as before. Henry's purpose of establishing a group company is to optimize resources, share technology, and fight other game companies with the power of the group!

　　 This is much better than Blizzard alone.

　　 Not long after, Henry registered a game company in California called Firefly Game Company!

　　 Although the Prestige Capital Company is Henry's assets, in order to distinguish the equity, Henry still transferred the Prestige Capital Company's shares in Blizzard to his own private name. Subsequently, Blizzard was linked to the Firefly Game Company's banner!

　　Westwood was founded in 1985, and it hasn’t made any decent games yet. Henry sent someone to talk about the acquisition and bought Westwood almost effortlessly. Of course, Henry still gave Westwood’s two founders, Super and Castle, 10% of the shares. Without the founders, this company would be equivalent to Without the soul, Henry might as well recruit employees directly!

　　 Henry spent three million US dollars to take 80% of the shares, and then moved Westwood to Silicon Valley, only separated from the Blizzard company!

　　 Now, the main purpose of Westwood and Blizzard is to make "Warcraft", and Firefly Game Company also has a heavy task and needs to establish its own distribution channel! ! ! In fact, this task is more important than the development of "Warcraft"!

　　It is true that the channel is king!

　　 Why EA can become one of the global game giants is mainly because it has a perfect distribution channel! Publish other people’s games without losing money. The more games you publish, the more you earn. How many games can I make, forty games a year? It is not necessarily true that the games developed by oneself make money or not~www.NovelMTL.com~, but the research and development expenses are not a small amount.

There are tens of thousands of large and small game companies in the world, and the number of games produced is counted as a multiple. If you publish games from other game companies, not to mention making more, each game earns an average of 100,000, and one thousand is 100 million . In fact, for some best-selling games, one can help the publishing company earn hundreds or even tens of millions of dollars. If there are a few more best-selling games, a young person can easily make hundreds of millions of dollars!

　　 Nintendo is so awesome now, it is actually similar to a publishing company! Relying on your own game console platform and using the royalty system to publish games of other companies, you can make a lot of money!

　　The six major Hollywood studios also became giants because of their distribution channels!

　　 For Firefly Game Company to become the overlord of the game industry, it must first have its own distribution channel! Fortunately, there are many companies and channels under Henry's name. Among them, the channels of West German Publishing House are the most helpful to the Firefly Game Company. Many stores put books, music CDs, video tapes, and game cards together for sale. With the help of West German Publishing House, Firefly Game Company quickly mastered this part of the channel.

　　 Of course, this channel alone is not enough. Supermarkets, electronic shopping malls, and game consoles are all targets of the Firefly Game Company.

　　 Establish a perfect channel, a long way to go!

　　 But Henry is fully confident to establish a global distribution channel with the broadest and most complete channel! (Recommendation ticket is too weak, please give it to everyone.
