Chapter 232(1/2)
230. This is probably a plot that only appears in the novel?
The former Northern Blizzard team established a game company in Beimi, and China Bomi Group is actually the mastermind behind it?!
When I heard this news, the game media in the East and West were in full bloom.
When Bill Robert got up, he found that his home was surrounded by reporters.
This scared him a little.
Fark!
What happened?
The last time he encountered this situation was a year and a half ago, when he left Vivendi.
When Bill Robert walked out of his doorstep, reporters gathered around him.
"Rob, is the original Northern Blizzard team going to be reorganized and is it true that it is established to establish a new company in Beimi?"
"Is there a Chinese funder behind the company?"
"How did you consider accepting gifts from Chinese people and establishing such a company?"
"Did you resign from Vivendi before because you were instigated by the Chinese?"
"Are there any plans to build a company this time? Will the future Northern Blizzard team continue to develop the original Blizzard game?"
"Excuse me……"
...
Fark!
Robert really wanted to give his middle finger in front of the media. This feeling of being surrounded by others was really bad.
Fortunately, he was in a good mood this time.
If the last time he was forced to leave Vivendi, he felt very frustrated. Before facing the media footage, Rob was angry and anxious, and didn't even want to say anything.
This time, the opposite is true. The current Northern Blizzard team is reborn. Not only that, they also took back the copyright of the Warcraft that once belonged to the Blizzard team.
And Robert believed that with Cao Yang's leadership, he would definitely succeed.
When facing the media reporter, Robert took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then a happy smile appeared on his face.
"Can I answer one by one about the questions you just asked?"
Rob thought about reorganizing the language:
"First of all, about our departure from Vivendi, this matter itself is an internal conflict. I have explained it in the report before. If you want to know the specific situation, you can check out the report on the collective departure of the Northern Blizzard team in 2003.
This matter has nothing to do with Bomi. We are completely dissatisfied with Vivendi's senior management and do not want them to think that the game company is a money-making tool. More importantly, we hope to make good games, which is our ideal and sentiment."
Wow!
Everyone was stunned.
It is really suspicious that Bill Robert has completely discarded this matter with Bomi.
"About another thing, whether our former Northern Blizzard team has established a new company." At this moment, Rob smiled, "My answer, yes, we have registered a new game company in Beimi.
And the name of this game company is Bomimi Technology Co., Ltd..”
ha?!
Although I had received a long time ago, it said that the former Northern Blizzard team established a new game company with the support of Bomi.
But when Robert heard him tell this fact with his own ears, everyone was a little reluctant to accept it.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then countless flashes lit up.
"Mr. Rob, are the rumors before that true? Bomi is actually the funder behind him. The game company they established in the United States is composed of members of the original Northern Blizzard?"
"Yes." Robert laughed, "Or why should it be called Bomimi?"
Can you be more awake?
"We have also had our own considerations. If you have any understanding of the gaming industry, you will find that China's Bomi Company is actually a very great company.
The games they produce are of high reputation and quality.
For example, the "Shan Hai Jing" that was released in Ome not long ago. From this work, you can see Bomi's genius creative ability in games."
Everyone was shocked.
They must have heard of Shanhaijing, and they are also very familiar with Bomi's name. In fact, since 2003, Bomi and Vivendi's negotiations have attracted the attention of the game media.
But this time the news is more sensational than before.
because--
The last time Bomi wanted to take Blizzard from Vivendi, he was rejected.
The whole world is mocking this Chinese company for overestimating its ability.
And now, although Bomi still did not win Blizzard, they won the entire Northern Blizzard team.
Although they didn't get the name of Blizzard, they got the kernel.
To be precise, it's half the kernel.
The other half, maybe the copyright of Warcraft can be made up?
Everyone was stunned for a moment, as if they had heard some terrible news, and they were in a panic.
"Mr. Robert..."
"Rob..."
...
The next day, this news was published in the game sections of major media in the United States:
[Shocking! The original Blizzard team formed a new company, and the funder behind the scenes turned out to be China Bomi!]
[Bill Robert: Thanks to China Bomi, let us set up a new game company]
[The former Northern Blizzard team formed a new company, its name is Bomi Miya]
The media titles are very eye-catching, but the original words of Bill Robert are actually copied in the article.
If this were not a game company, but a semiconductor company, or an automobile manufacturer, it would have probably exploded long ago.
However, according to a survey conducted by the Pew Research Center this year, 43% of the people in the United States have a good impression of China, 35% have the opposite attitude, and the rest say they don’t feel anything.
Game companies do not involve the core interests of the United States, and game companies do not have any technical patents that they can use as weapons or barriers to limit China, so most people are open to this aspect.
Chinese people are stupid and have a lot of money, and are willing to help start businesses, providing technology, talents and a lot of funds for game development. It is a good thing no matter how you look at it.
This is also the reason why the relevant audit departments passed it.
...
When hearing this news, the reaction of ordinary players is much more peaceful and tolerant than that of the media.
"What?! The Northern Blizzard is finally back?"
The first thing they are concerned about is not who is behind the scenes of Blizzard in Northern, but whether Blizzard in Northern is still there.
If the problem of being away is not even solved, there is nothing to pay attention to or discuss about the rest.
"That's great," said a Blizzard powder. "Although it's a pity that Blizzard splits, I support the Northern Blizzard team. Companies like Vivendi are the cancer of the gaming industry. It's right to leave it."
"Yes, if you get rid of Xueleshan and then run the Northern Blizzard team, only a cancer company like Vivendi can do it in the world."
"Don't they always do this? When they see something good, they buy it first, then squeeze out the value, and then throw it away after eating it."
"Oh, it's a pity. I can only say that Blizzard has a bad life. When I was at my best, I didn't meet the right person and was stabbed from behind by someone else.
After falling apart now, I think Blizzard in the North is pitiful, and the remaining Blizzard team at Vivendi is hateful. If they can also use their backbone to resist like Blizzard in the North, how could they have come to this day?”
"Don't think about it. If Southern Blizzard also collectively resigned like they did, I dare to swear that Vivendi's top leaders would agree.
Even if they find someone else to inherit Blizzard's empty shell from outside, they will not allow anyone to challenge their authority."
"Well, no matter what kind of business this Chinese company called Bomi is, I just hope he can do better than Vivendi and at least give the Northern Blizzard team the opportunity to realize their value."
"Yes, don't have another demon. In the end, I just want to use the reputation of the original Blizzard team to actually squeeze out the value and then blow them out."
"It shouldn't be true? I read the previous report that Bomi is not bad. It is a company that has made a fortune since making games, especially the boss Cao Yang, who is said to understand games quite well.
Those who understand games and love games will definitely treat the original Northern Blizzard team well, right?"
"I hope so. Now I just hope that this new [Blizzard] company can bring us more surprises. I hope it can produce a lot of good and excellent games."
"From the results, we should be glad that Bomi, the company, brought North Blizzard at a critical moment, right? And now Bomi still has the copyright of the Warcraft in his hands, so it is hard to say which side is the Orthodox Blizzard."
"Hahaha, indeed, Blizzard without the monster always feels a little bit worse, but without the dark original Northern Blizzard team, it feels a bit weird."
"Fate is really amazing. I don't know who to support in the future, and who can truly represent Blizzard."
"Hahaha, I think the last thing I want to talk about is that as long as the game works are of good quality, there will definitely be many suitors."
"Yeah, Blizzard will get the game quickly, no matter which Blizzard!"
