Technology Bigshot Chapter 308: ：Buy “half of the industry”]

Outsiders are very curious about the two of them, but they don't know what they are talking about, let alone what kind of relationship or grudge they have.

A banquet brings together the world's top business elites, whose combined worth is as high as 10 trillion US dollars, where elites from all walks of life expand their network of contacts.

As for Ren Hong and Lex Wayne, they did not communicate in any form after a brief meeting.

There is no such thing as a banquet in the world. Ren Hong came here to make some soy sauce and help Musk support the facade. Except for meeting an "old friend" by accident, he had no substantial gain. He was invited to come naturally. It's a friendship factor.

After returning to the office, Ren Hong stopped going out and only waited for the special flight back to China tomorrow.

The trip to Seattle has come to a successful conclusion.

……

On the day after Ren Hong returned from his trip to Seattle, USA, and just returned to the company's headquarters, another industry shook.

A major news happened on this day in the game industry, which has been called the ninth art, and the maker of this news had the participation of Matrix Technology, not only participated in it, but also one of the protagonists.

"A major earthquake in the industry, after Sony and Microsoft, another giant crocodile enters the ninth art." The front page headline of "Aiwan.com".

"With the entry of predators, is the game industry ushered in a new round of reshuffle?" The headline of "17173".

"Matrix Technology xlous wants to be the first party in the game industry? Sony and Microsoft have been extremely nervous recently, and xlous may become their strongest competitor." The headline of "ign".

Just today, both domestic and foreign game practitioners or gamers are facing a major industry shock.

It is today at 17:20 pm New York time.

The game developer "Ubisoft" (u force sot), which owns the famous series of games "Assassin's Creed" series, "Watch Dogs" and other masterpieces; owns "Final Fantasy" series, "Dragon Quest" The game developer "Square Enix" (square-eni-co.ltd), which has representative masterpieces such as series; (kona fans) company; rokstar-north, a game development company owned by "r star" (rokstar-games), which owns the masterpieces of the "Grand Theft Auto (gta)" series. And, roberts-spae-industdays, the developer of the game "Star Citizen", which famously broke the crowdfunding record with more than $100 million in crowdfunding, launched a joint announcement in New York.

Except for Chris Roberts, the developer of "Star Citizen", the other four game development companies have a deep historical background. The CEOs of the five game developers jointly announced this afternoon at 17:20 New York time. Announced that its company was officially merged into the Matrix Technology xlous group company and became its five subsidiaries.

The sudden announcement of this news caught the entire game industry unprepared, and Matrix Technology quietly acquired four of the top ten game companies in the world. A "World of Warcraft" space sci-fi online game "Star Citizen" was also swept into the bag.

This move of Matrix Technology can even be said to include "half of the content output" of the current game industry. Which of the four top game developers does not have one or even a few of the world-renowned Zhenshanzhi in the industry. do?

Among them, Ubisoft was acquired by Vivendi in 2017. As early as a year ago, there was news from within the Vivendi Group that it intended to transfer to Ubisoft, and now there is no need to doubt it.

At this joint press conference, "Ubisoft", which owns the representative works of the "Assassin's Creed" series, was merged into Matrix Technology at a price of US$4.5 billion; The price of US dollars was merged into the door of Matrix Technology; the "Commelo" with the masterpiece of the "Metal Gear" series was merged into the door of Matrix Technology with a price of 5.3 billion US dollars; the "R Star" with the masterpiece of the "Grand Theft Auto" series was merged with 8.7 billion. The price of US dollars directly merged its major studios and publishers into Matrix Technology; and bought it from Chris Roberts for $920 million, including himself, his studios and Star Citizen.

This time, Matrix Technology spent a total of 24.12 billion US dollars to buy almost "half of the country" in the game industry. Among the top ten game developers in the world, there are four companies, and Matrix Technology has become their new owner.

Matrix Technology cost more than 24 billion US dollars, and the shares of the four major game developers, each company holds an average of 69.8%, but it is worth mentioning that under the pressure of capital, these game companies eventually chose A compromise, but Matrix Technology also promises not to interfere with the operation rights of game developers.

This is the last "fight" of their four major companies and the last "territory" they can rely on for survival. If this territory is also lost, they will inevitably choose to leave the company. Obviously, this is what Matrix Technology does not want to see Yes, company executives and top game developers or teams are the souls, without them the company will lose its vitality.

As long as they give up their voting rights, but the CEO of the company continues to control the company, they will not be too resistant to capital.

After this news was announced, Wall Street was the first to be affected. The market value of the four game companies rose. For no other reason, it was because these four game companies either found new owners or changed With a new owner, Matrix Technology spent more than 24 billion US dollars to buy "half of the country" generated by the game industry content. No matter how you look at it, it is impossible for Wall Street to think that Ren Hong is a masterpiece on a whim.

Matrix Technology has unimaginable resources and wealth for other companies, which means that as long as Ren Hong is not messing around and wanton disrupting the game industry, the four companies will have broader channels, platforms, distribution, etc. It seems that technology does not have its own platform or channel, but it is too simple for such a giant company to want to be a channel and a platform, and even a large number of people are willing to give it to the platform and channel as long as they wave their hands, because They are simply willing to see the competition with the giants of Zheyue, because their capital is simply unable to resist such giants, not to mention the solid strategic allies such as Matrix Technology and Fae Book.

The total market value of the four game companies has officially exceeded $40 billion from $35 billion, and there is still an upward trend.

Compared with Wall Street's constant observation of the fluctuation of the value, practitioners in the game industry are more concerned about the vibration and influence of the entry of Matrix Technology on the global game industry. Bought four of the world's top ten game developers in one go, along with an extremely promising "Star Citizen".

What exactly does Matrix Technology want to do? Many people in the industry want to know this. The most wanted to know is undoubtedly the game departments of Sony and Microsoft. The most anxious and nervous are undoubtedly the Sony ps game console and Microsoft's X-wave game console. Since a predator like Matrix Technology has taken a fancy to the field of games, the only thing that can get into its eyes is to be the first party in the industry, that is, the platform.
