Chapter 192 190. Collective resignation!? Industry earthquake!(2/2)

Without these game makers who devote themselves to the good game to players, will the North Blizzard be or the Blizzard in the future?"

"Yes, without the Northern Blizzard, the future Blizzard will feel like it will be impossible to play."

“I just want to ask one question now—

After the core team of Blizzard in the North has left, what do you use to develop "Dark 3"?

Do you have that ability?”

"Damn Vivendi, go to hell! There is no good retribution for doing evil businesses like this!"

"Go to hell!"

...

No one would have thought that just after Bomi and Vivendi negotiated, a personnel earthquake occurred in Blizzard in less than a month.

American media quickly found several creators who left Blizzard in the North and conducted detailed interviews.

Regarding the details of the resignation, Bill Robert said helplessly:

"We wanted to use resignation as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the investor, but we didn't expect that the other party would rather accept our resignation than communicate further with us."

Roper said: "We didn't plan to leave Blizzard in advance, but the ending turned out like this.

...I can only talk about this issue about Blizzard North.

Because we know nothing about who will be managed and have no way of judging the already complex relationships and situations, we cannot maintain good communication with our team members in this case.

…We hope to have a higher level of participation, and submitting a resignation is also to open up a way of communication with French decision makers.

Because in the absence of long-term compensation policies or employee contracts, it is difficult for us to plan our future and the future of our colleagues... In the end, Vivendi blocked this passage and agreed to our resignation."

...

"Fuck Vivandi to death!"

"This garbage company ruined another good company in my mind."

"Vewandi is a garbage company. He will leave after eating it. He won't even leave any bones. The story of Xueleshan is vivid in my mind. Now they have taken the blizzard again."

"Can the rest be done by forcing the Northern Blizzard to leave? I don't believe it."

"Go to die Fultu! Go to die Vivendi!"

Voices of attacking Vivendi were everywhere, and at the same time, this matter was reconnected with Bomi a month ago.

Domestic netizens who were originally unfamiliar on the Internet have gradually made new reversals.

"Damn it, it seems that Boss Bomi is very visionary. Why didn't Vivendi sell it to Bomi at that time? If it were sold to them, such a thing wouldn't happen."

"Yes, it's really heartbreaking. Blizzard, which I like very much, is now half-destroyed by Vivendi.

Although you are scolding Bomi for being overestimated or not to recognize himself, I think at least the North Blizzard can be acquired by our Big Bomi than under Vivendi, right?"

"Boss Cao is also willing but not capable enough. You all misunderstood him. Boss Cao has known that there will be today's tragedy, so he will not hesitate to bear the risk of being scolded. He also wants to go to France to buy Blizzard, just because he is afraid that Blizzard will split up and that Blizzard in the north will be fucked to death!"

"Woooooooooooo...Boss Cao is simply great."

"Hey, this is the fate of the speaker, it will always be misunderstood."

...

When Cao Yang saw the first look at the netizen, his heart suddenly jumped—

groove!

Is my identity as a reborn person going to be exposed?

Later I read it carefully and found out that it was just a joke.

The rough idea is that although Bomi is overestimating his abilities, he is playing games with all his heart, which is better than a man-eating demon like Vivandi.

Although it was a joke, Cao Yang was very pleased to see the news.

Another wave of new popularity is coming, and I'm afraid that in the near future, everyone will continue to connect them with Blizzard in the North.

...

At the same time, after about a month of active contact with EpicGame, on March 27, the other party finally sent a response. Epic hopes to have an interview with Bomi's acquisition intention.

Cao Yang was so happy that he couldn't help but contacted his secretary to book a plane to the United States.

This time, Professor Fang just waved his hand, "This time, other legal colleagues go, I won't need it. After all, I have lived in the United States for a long time and are very familiar with it."

Cao Yang just smiled and did not refuse.

...

On March 28, Bomi and his group were still old configurations, plus an English translator, and they embarked on their journey to the United States again.

During this period, Cao Yang really spent his time on the road, and he even had little time and energy to interfere in the "Shan Hai Jing".

It takes 7 and a half hours to fly from the imperial capital to Rockville, Maryland, USA. There is also a transfer in Chicago and then fly to Rockville. It takes about 10 hours to add up.

Everyone was sore in their waists and backs, so they rushed to the hotel as soon as they got off the plane.

Since having the painful experience of negotiating with Vivendi this time, no one has to go out for fun. He will take a shower and sleep when he arrives at the hotel, and keep his energy ready to fight for the future.

That night, Cao Yang, who was preparing for the next day to review his speech, received a call from Vivendi, France.

There was a girl's voice on the phone, and she said in Chinese with a strange accent, "Hello, I am Vivendi's translator. Vivendi wants to have a conversation with your company about the last time. I wonder if Mr. Cao has time?"

Cao Yang laughed in silence.

Unexpectedly, Vivendi's reply was earlier than he expected.

In his previous life, Vivendi kept dragging it on and did not really sell the game business unit until 2007.

This call came at a really time. For Cao Yang, it was like a timely help, and it was like a tiger with wings.

Maybe Vivendi's phone call can also increase the bargaining chips for negotiations with Epic tomorrow.

"I'm sorry, we may not have time recently." Cao Yang replied with a smile inside, "Will Vivendi want to negotiate with us on what matter?"

Cao Yang actually provided two proposals last time.

Proposal 1: The acquisition of Vivendi’s game division for US$500 million is equivalent to buying all its game companies in packages.

Proposal 2: Buy the copyright of Warcraft for US$100 million. From then on, except for Bomi, other companies are not allowed to use the Warcraft IP without authorization, including Blizzard itself.

All the games related to Warcraft developed by Blizzard were converted to Bomi operation.

A low voice from the other side of the phone came from the voice, but it was French, so Cao Yang couldn't understand it.

After a while, a nice voice from the translator came from over there, "It's true, Mr. Cao, Vivendi Company, I hope to negotiate the second proposal given by your company last time, which is the sale of the copyright of Warcraft."

hey-hey.

Cao Yang laughed silently.

This is the wise choice for a businessman.

In terms of cost-effectiveness, it is actually quite cost-effective to sell its subsidiaries without selling them.

You should know that Vivendi packaged more than 380 games under his portfolio and sold them to 1.8 billion.

From now on, Bomi's premium is at least 50% or higher.

"Okay," Cao Yang replied, "but I have a very important meeting recently, and I'm afraid there will be no time in the short term."

"Okay," replied the other side, "Then I hope to reach an agreement as soon as possible for the specific period, and I look forward to your letter."

Cao Yang smiled slightly.

It seems that the collective resignation of the core team of Northern Blizzard will still have an impact on Vivendi.

According to the company's urinary nature, if it feels that the remaining value of this thing is not much, it will squeeze it dry as soon as possible and throw it away.

Now, it is obvious that Vivendi is a little anxious.

When the other party gets anxious, it means that the situation has changed.

This move is called turning against the enemy.

...

This chapter describes real historical events.

In 2003, Blizzard, North Korea was not satisfied with Vivandi's sale of the game department, so it collectively proposed to resign, hoping to use this chip to force senior management to revoke the sale plan.

Unfortunately, things went against my wishes, and ended with the collective departure of four founders of Blizzard North.

The words quoted in the article are basically the original words.
