Chapter 454 [The end of the war]
The quiet atmosphere in the conference room did not last long, and Luo Sheng's voice came into everyone's ears again.
"I don't care whether it's Microsoft's anti-acc alliance or not, since Wall Street's multiple capitals have actively matched it up, let's go with the flow and make a move. The major hosting platforms have opened up content ecology and do not play the exclusive set."
Speaking of this, Luo Sheng added: "But the series such as Microsoft's Halo and Sony's "Final Fantasy" series are paid to us on my platform, and our game is paid to us on the other party's platform."
"this……"
The executives attending the meeting looked at each other, and one of them looked at Luo Sheng and said, "Mr. Luo, I don't think it is necessary. Even the content of the acc platform can support a huge closed-loop ecosystem by relying solely on several third parties controlled by Blue Star Technology Group. These third parties are not short of best-selling masterpieces. In addition, we have already lost 37.5 billion (RMB) and are almost able to turn our competitors into tool people in one breath."
The other managers attending the meeting nodded in agreement. They really couldn't understand why Luo Sheng chose kindness at such a critical moment, leaving a breathing opportunity for his competitors.
As for being sued by Microsoft in court, although the company's senior management attached importance to it, they did not feel that it was facing a great enemy. The lawsuit was just endlessly whining.
Microsoft has no choice for the sake of the face of both multinational technology giants. After all, large companies also have their own arrogance and face. In terms of qualifications, Costa delle is a little brother in front of old manufacturers such as Microsoft and Sony.
As the saying goes, a soldier is a bear, and a general is a crotch, and the upward and downward effect is effective. The Coast of Blue has been in charge, and the company's executives are still very good at acting. We can't just find a way to see if we can make a wave.
After working hard with Luo Sheng for so many years, his confidence and confidence have been achieved. Facing the old foreign giant groups, he no longer has the inferiority mentality he used to be.
Just do it.
"The timing is wrong, and life should not be eliminated. Do what I said, that's it." Luo Sheng said, and immediately made the decision and made the final decision.
The timing is wrong?
Everyone looked at each other.
Although the boss did not explain the reason, he said this and everyone had no objection.
Luo Sheng actually didn't want to miss this opportunity to make his opponent a tool. After gaining a foothold in the gaming industry, he could do his best to deal with Intel.
This is a plan that was made very early.
But the plan always fails to keep up with the changes. At this critical moment, it happened to meet the arrival of the North American election and was plotted behind the scenes by Wall Street. How crazy is Bluestar Technology's stock price rising now and how badly it will fall in the near future.
In this round of next-generation console war, Costa delle has lost 37.5 billion yuan. Such a huge sum of money has not been exchanged for the expected return, which is a bit painful.
No one's money is not blown by the strong wind.
But compared with the two evils, Luo Sheng is of course the least.
Executives such as Yao Jianhong did not know that at this moment, the brother company Bluestar Technology Group was in an extremely highlight moment, but there was an undercurrent behind it.
Luo Sheng doesn't want to be attacked from both sides, and it's hard to deal with the beginning and end at that time.
Although he had secretly explored the deal made by Wall Street, he could not absolutely guarantee whether the North American authorities would turn against Wall Street and make a real deal.
If you cannot guarantee that you must respond to the worst, which is a consideration that a decision maker should have.
At that time, both Costa à and Blue Star Technology will catch fire, and it will be very tiring to put out the fire. If you lose the overseas market, the revenue of both companies may be cut in half.
Let’s settle Microsoft first. If the front line is too long, it will easily increase the variables.
Luo Sheng did not tell Yao Jianhong and others about these things, and even Zhang Bowen from Blue Star Technology did not tell him, nor did he plan to tell them, as it would be unsightly if he told them.
...
As time went by, in mid-April, with multiple capitals on Wall Street matching, Costa delle and Microsoft reached an out-of-court settlement.
After all, both companies have the interests of Wall Street. Wall Street has now borrowed $70 billion in corporate debt to the Costa ça, which is an astronomical figure. For Wall Street, this vicious fight between the two sides is not only not beneficial, but it does more harm than good.
The result was that Microsoft suddenly announced to withdraw its lawsuit against the Costa 1999.
Such a magical turn made countless media organizations and netizens waiting to watch big dramas confused. This reversal was too fast, so fast that except for both parties involved, the subsequent plot trend caught everyone off guard.
Stocks of major third-party gaming companies around the world fluctuate like electrocardiograms.
After the negotiations between the two parties, the market value of third-party game companies plummeted. The industry believes that the subsidy dividend has ended. A few days later, Microsoft turned around and filed a lawsuit to sue the Costa del Blue. The market value of third-party game companies rose sharply. The industry believes that the subsidy dividend can last for a while.
As a result, within a few days, Microsoft suddenly announced that it would withdraw its lawsuit, and the stock market situation immediately responded, and the market value of third-party game companies plummeted again.
Countless stock investors who trade stocks have the idea of jumping off the building.
...
On the morning of April 19, the headquarters of the Costa ça de Azure Company, media conference hall.
When a reporter at the scene captured the signing parties on the red carpet stage, he couldn't help but whisper: "I had to go to court in court last moment, and the next moment... the plot development is really magical."
At this moment, Luo Sheng appeared rarely before the media footage, and he personally came forward to hold an open signing ceremony with Microsoft's host alliance team.
Don Matrick and others stood together on the red carpet stage, holding the unfolded contract documents to each other, facing the camera. Although they didn't know their own mental activities and real thoughts, at least under the camera, everyone smiled.
It seems that we have ushered in a very good happy end.
After completing the photo, it was Luo Sheng's turn to speak. He stood on the dedicated speech stage and said vividly: "This next-generation hosting battle began before the New Year. We have attracted third parties such as Ubisoft and other Microsoft Alliance, and we are all fighting for more third parties such as Colemei. We are fighting for more third parties, we are fighting."
The reporters from more than 200 media organizations on the scene couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Luo Sheng continued to speak with a smile on his face: "The two sides are like martial arts masters. This force is... It means that everyone loses 20 to 30 million US dollars a day. If I lose another $40 million, I will withstand it. If I remember correctly, one day the maximum loss is more than $58 million."
The special reporters from the domestic and foreign media off the court heard Luo Sheng’s words, but they heard the numbers that the other party said were all smacking their lips, making them feel dizzy.
The maximum loss of US$58 million per day, excluding exchange rate changes of nearly RMB 400 million.
400 million yuan is burned a day, and the competition between these multinational giants is like the rhythm of fighting gods.
Luo Sheng's words and speech seem to be no different from 4,000 yuan, which makes him look like a big shot.
Apart from worshiping, I can only worship.
Luo Sheng still smiled on the stage and said, "...but neither side dared to stop, because once you take it, it would be like all your previous efforts to be wasted, and you might even die due to internal injuries."
A sudden smile occurred off the court.
Luo Sheng continued, "So they kept fighting. In the end, Microsoft's president Ballmer communicated with me, and I said, "How do you think this end? But you can't fight, they seem to be unwilling to accept it, so they must fight. In the end, it was solved with the matchmaking of multiple capitals."
There was another burst of laughter off the court. Don Matrick and others who were sitting beside him could only follow him and laugh. Anyway, he didn't want to stay for a moment, so he quickly withdrew after the signing ceremony.
But now I can only endure it silently, endure watching the other party show off in the form of a winner.
Chapter completed!
