Chapter 1741 The Opportunity Has Arrived
I’m sorry, I made 1.2 billion!
Lin Feng said this lightly, and the whole world was dumbfounded.
What on earth is going on here? Lin Feng is not going to acquire? Lin Feng, who always goes crazy when he is provoked, just cowardly, not seeking revenge from the "gm13" organization? Everyone finds it incredible.
But the fact is that Lin Feng really doesn’t want revenge, and he sold all his shares, not even one share left. This move is the best interpretation of Lin Feng’s declaration.
“Asshole! We were fooled by him again this time!” Iwata was angry.
This time, in order to deal with Lin Feng’s comprehensive acquisition action, the "gm13" organization used 12.5 billion US dollars, but Lin Feng sold it at a high price and didn’t acquire it. Those retail investors sold it crazily after hearing the news, and the stock price plummeted instantly, falling all the way back to the original price. As a result, the "gm13" organization became the biggest victim. 12.5 billion US dollars, now there is less than 100 million US dollars left, and 4.5 billion US dollars evaporated out of thin air.
"Forget it. He failed to acquire the company this time. Although he made $1.2 billion, his myth was shattered. So we still made money!" Peter Moore sighed and consoled himself.
"Yes, Lin Feng has always been invincible. Although we lost a lot this time, we broke his undefeated myth, which is a great achievement. Without the undefeated halo, I'll see how he will show off his power in the future." - Yves Gullimott, president of "Ubisoft", also laughed at himself.
"In that case, we should discuss how to share the $4.5 billion loss this time." - The representative of "Microsoft Game Development Department" knocked on the table.
$4.5 billion is not a small number for any company present. Even if it is divided equally, each company will have to bear a loss of about $350 million. The representative of "Microsoft Game Development Department" is naturally unwilling to bear such a large loss. From the beginning, he was not afraid of Lin Feng at all. Therefore, he would never let "Microsoft Game Development Department" pay for this loss.
Iwata frowned. After entering the alliance, this "Microsoft Game Development Department" has not been very sociable and is not very enthusiastic about the alliance. Iwata suspected that if the alliance was not established to deal with Lin Feng, I am afraid that the "Microsoft Game Development Department" would not have joined the alliance at all.
"Mr. Bell, we agreed at the beginning that this time we will share the profits and losses against Lin Feng. What do you mean by saying this now?"-"Ubisoft" President Yves Gullymot said unhappily.
Many people in the "gm13" alliance are dissatisfied with Jeff Bell, the director of the "Microsoft Game Development Department".
Yves Gullymot is one of them.
"Yes, we discussed it this way at the beginning. But now, the three companies have not even figured out the matter, and they were tricked by Lin Feng, who made $1.2 billion and left, causing the alliance to lose more than $4.5 billion. I don't think that in this case, the loss is still borne by us collectively! This is their loss, and they should bear it!" Jeff Bell said coldly.
Jeff Bell's accusation made Iwata and others speechless. This time, they did make a mistake in judgment. But it's not their fault. After all, Lin Feng announced in public that he would acquire three companies. Judging from Lin Feng's personality, if he said acquisition, he must acquire. Who would have expected Lin Feng to let go suddenly? This is not in line with Lin Feng's personality. Naturally, Iwata and others would have miscalculated.
"What does Mr. Bell mean?" Peter Moore asked with suppressed anger.
"It's very simple. This time, the three companies will bear 75% of the loss, and the remaining 25% will be borne jointly by our company. I believe this should be very fair. After all, it was your mistakes that caused today's situation, so you should bear most of the responsibility." Jeff Bell said loudly.
Peter Moore, Iwata, and Yves Gullimott frowned. 75%, 75% of $4.5 billion will be borne by their three companies, that is $3.375 billion. How can the three companies bear this? But looking at the expressions of the representatives of other companies around, they seem to agree with Jeff Bell's opinion.
Damn it, these damn guys, don't they know that there is a big enemy ahead, and we must unite! ——Satoru Iwata shouted in his heart.
However, no matter how angry he was, he was helpless. The alliance in front of him was formed by game companies to fight against Lin Feng. Many companies were rivals before. For example, although "Nintendo" and "Sony" are both Japanese companies, they are mortal enemies. "EA" and "Ubisoft" are not on the same side, and "Microsoft" and Japanese game companies are even more on the same side. In short, the foundation of this alliance is very weak. Now that they are in trouble, these damn guys will naturally add insult to injury and weaken the strength of themselves and others, which will also be of great help to their future market. After all, no matter how popular "World War" is, it is impossible for players to only play "World War". Players have a wide range of interests and hobbies.
One game can never satisfy all players.
Therefore, since everyone is a rival, it is always good to weaken the strength of the rival at this moment.
"Make a decision. If you do not agree to this loss-bearing plan and continue to maintain the original plan, I, Microsoft, will abide by my previous commitments, but I will also withdraw from this alliance!" Jeff Bell forced the palace.
For the Microsoft Game Development Department, Nintendo has always been one of the biggest rivals of their game department. It is always good to weaken Nintendo's strength.
Bastard! Damn American! -- Satoru Iwata clenched his fists.
Jeff Bell's move is to weaken Nintendo's strength on the one hand, and to alienate the relationship between Nintendo and EA on the other. For the Microsoft Game Development Department, it is not good news if EA and Nintendo are allowed to have a harmonious relationship.
If the two sides reach a seamless cooperation because of this alliance, it will not be a good thing for any other game company, especially Microsoft. Microsoft's x sales are not very good, and it has a little market in the United States. If EA and Nintendo are allowed to have a relationship and the two sides form a united front, then Microsoft will be in trouble.
"Okay, the three of us will bear 75% of the loss this time!" After a silence, Peter Moore and Satoru Iwata said in unison. As for Yves Guillimot, who originally wanted to object, he could not say anything at this moment. Originally, Ubisoft's assets were the lowest among them, and it only relied on its reputation in the gaming industry to become one of the three giants. But now other game companies agree with this loss-bearing plan, what can he say?
Now we can only see whether "EA" and "Nintendo" can jointly bear more losses. --Yves Guillimot said.
Unexpectedly, what made Yves Guillimot angry was that "EA" and "Nintendo" agreed to bear more losses in principle, but only a little more. For the loss of 3.375 billion US dollars, "Nintendo" and "EA" bear 2.8 billion US dollars, and the remaining 575 million US dollars will be borne by "Ubisoft".
575 million US dollars is indeed not much compared to the 2.8 billion US dollars borne by "EA" and "Nintendo". But for "Ubisoft", whose market value is less than 100 million US dollars, it is already a heavy blow.
If it wants to repay this debt, "Ubisoft" will no longer have any liquidity, and even some stocks will have to be sold.
Bastards, they are all those who eat people without leaving any bones! ——Yvis Gulimot hung up the phone indignantly and began to contact his brother to see how they decided to deal with this matter.
"Boss, I received the news that 'gm13' had an internal conflict!" Soros handed Lin Feng a piece of gossip.
People like Soros always have some secret channels to obtain some unknown gossip.
"Humph, I expected that this 'gm13' alliance must have constant internal conflicts!" Lin Feng carefully read Soros's gossip and said with satisfaction. None of this was beyond his expectations.
"Boss, it seems that our plan is going better this time!" Soros smiled. "Well, not only is it smoother, but the gains will be greater!"
Lin Feng's eyes flashed with a gleam.
"Soros, start the action! This time we can swallow as many as we can!" Lin Feng ordered.
For this "gm13", Lin Feng has always wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible. But there has never been any opportunity. This time, the opportunity finally came, and Lin Feng naturally would not miss it. If we miss this opportunity, we don't know how long we have to wait.
"Boss, don't worry. We can't touch 'Nintendo' and 'EA' in the 'GM13' alliance, but we can deal a heavy blow to other companies." Soros sneered.
"GM13" consists of 13 game companies in total. Except for the six large companies "EA", "Microsoft", "Nintendo", "Sony", "Sega" and "Square Enix", the other seven companies are small companies. The one with the highest assets is "Ubisoft", which is less than 100 million US dollars, while the rest of the companies are mostly around hundreds of millions of US dollars. Of course, the smallest Korean-S1T company (which opened "Paradise") has only tens of millions of US dollars in assets.
And Soros and Lin Feng are going to deal with these seven companies with few assets but great reputations. Lin Feng wants to take the opportunity to take them into his pocket to strengthen the momentum of "Second World". Before the players of "World War" create tribes, lay the foundation for the dominance of "Second World"!
Then take advantage of the popularity of "World War" to start the journey of global unification
