Chapter 338: Buying Blizzard and Losing One Billion(1/2)

war3 is definitely a good game.

In private, Abel felt that this was Blizzard's most successful and best game. The only online game wow that has become a super IP is also a new architecture extended based on war.

Speaking of Blizzard.

Before Abel started the game, he took a look at the US stock market.

Although the entire US stock market has improved slightly due to the end of the midterm elections, it has not recovered from the previous plunge in October.

Abel noticed.

It once became popular in the game world, launching StarCraft, Warcraft, Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm, Overwatch, and Abel's favorite World of Warcraft Activision Blizzard.

Now it's a bit unoptimistic.

Since October this year, Blizzard's stock price has been down from its highest point of US$84.6 per share, and has suffered several setbacks to 68.84 today. It has not closed yet and is expected to fall until after the closing. The cumulative decline is nearly 20%, and the market value has shrunk by about US$12.7 billion, equivalent to about 80 billion of Soft Girl Coin.

Such a decline.

Even with the overall decline in the US stock market and the stock market evaporated by 10 trillion US dollars, it still seems a bit outrageous.

You know, this is a Blizzard.

One of the most profitable game companies in the world, excluding those in China, even Blizzard, which is now extremely weak, its game revenue is still among the top among global game companies.

certainly……

On game companies.

The game performance of a Penguin Company can lift all game companies around the world!

As for why Blizzard is so miserable now, it has something to do with the mobile game "Diablo: Immortal" that they just passed by Blizzard Carnival not long ago.

This kind of garbage was announced by Blizzard as the finale game, which naturally triggered a "tsunami" level bad review for players.

Blizzard released the official video of the "Dark" mobile game on the video website on November 2. As of today, about 2.14 million people have watched the video, 214,000 people made statements, of which 200,000 gave negative comments, and only 14,000 liked it.

Against this expectation, Blizzard's stock price suffered a heavy blow. On the first trading day after the end of Blizzard Carnival, Blizzard's stock price fell 6.74% intraday, and its market value evaporated by about US$3.5 billion, equivalent to about RMB 24.5 billion.

"Tsk tsk... It's really a mortal!"

Abel could only comment on this behavior in this way. But because of this, she suddenly became interested.

How about buying Blizzard?

After all, no matter how weak Blizzard is, it still has the super big IP of Warcraft, a good IP of StarCraft, and always excellent game creation skills.

No matter what.

The name Blizzard.

Because of the many successes introduced earlier.

It is still very popular among gamers around the world.

If you can buy Blizzard and go through some reforms, this is a very operational thing.

It's just that it's very difficult.

Even after such a long period of plunge, Blizzard's current value is still more than US$45 billion. If you want to buy it, it is impossible without more than US$50 billion.

The most important thing is.

Blizzard's parent company, Vidivon, from France, is not short of money.

"I have Paramount now..."

"After buying Blizzard, reshoot the [Warcraft] movie. Launch the StarCraft movie, and then launch the IP movie of Ass Pioneer...or simply have a Blizzard universe!"

"It seems to be a big deal?"

I thought of the Zerg of Starcraft and the Mantis of Azeroth who fought against the Alliance Horde and Overwatch.

As a former Blizzard, it is fake to say that you are not moved.

And now in this case.

It is not impossible to acquire Blizzard. Although it costs a lot of money, it cannot be obtained without 40 to 50 billion US dollars.

Moreover, if you want to make a profit afterwards, it will take more than one or two years.

But it is very operational!

The more I think about Abel, the more I feel it is operational. It is more difficult to acquire Blizzard than to acquire Paramount.

Paramount has just bought it.

Even though Abel wants Blizzard very much now, he can't make it all in one piece. He can only plan slowly, and seeing how Blizzard is doing now, the stock price should still have room to continue to fall.

Acquisition of Blizzard.

Don't rush it.

Putting aside his desire for his student days, Abel puts his attention back to his real work.

International crude oil futures.

I don’t know if it was fate like this or the foreseeable prediction of fate smoke took effect. After Abel used the smoke of fate, the losses caused by his blind operations ahead were in the face of various news events that suddenly appeared.

The shocking floating losses of more than 400 million US dollars are gradually decreasing.

After experiencing the OPEC production cut document, not only did not raise oil prices, but instead increased the market negative mentality.

However, never underestimate the power of capital! Especially when those powerful capitals can affect some mouthpieces!

This situation changed when Abel's floating loss dropped to 300 million US dollars!

16:38 pm.

Viacom's CNN, its international news broadcast a news from the Camel Kingdom.

Eight oil wells in Camel Kingdom caught fire unexpectedly together, and eventually turned into a rumbling explosion.

Originally, it was just eight oil wells, but it didn't seem very great. In some oil-poor countries or some places where oil is buried too deep, a single oil well will have a daily output of between a few tons and dozens of tons.

For such oil wells, it would be good to use a kowtower to pump oil per day, and there would be half a ton of oil.

but……

This kind of oil well, on the camel's side, is even considered a waste oil well with no mining value.

Why is this happening?

Because on the camel side, the most tragic oil wells are produced from hundreds of tons per day!

Even in Camel Country, there is an oil well that produces 10,000 tons of crude oil per day! And it is sprayed by itself. After digging a hole, the oil will be sprayed out of it by itself, as long as it is collected around it! This kind of oil well is no longer a digging well, it can be said to be an oil fountain!

What is sprayed out is not a spring, but what is flowing out is high-quality crude oil, which is simply flowing out gold!

The difference is so huge.

No need to make a fuss.

The eight oil wells that had a sudden accident today are all Camel Oil Wells with extremely high output. The worst one is said to have a daily output of 800 tons, and the highest one is said to have even reached more than 2,000 tons.

Their daily output of these eight oil wells alone exceeds 10,000 tons! In a year, their total output even reached 4 million tons of crude oil!

If a ton of crude oil is converted into a standard barrel in futures, it is about seven barrels! The 4 million tons of crude oil is about 28 million to 30 million barrels!

Based on the current oil price, it can be sold for about 1.8 billion US dollars!

An average oil well can dig out more than 200 million US dollars of oil in a year! The profit is as high as 90%. You said, how can you make Camel Country not a rich man?!!

The sight returns to this CNN news.

Eight oil wells exploded and turned into sea of ​​fire, or the kind that was blowing fire outside. The power and heat could be felt within several kilometers of the surrounding area.

Nearby oil pipelines are also affected by this.

An emergency diversion is needed, which will seriously affect the oil production of Camel Country, which means that oil supply and demand have broken the balance.

When this news was reported, the guys led by Carri Garnett in the entire office area suddenly became nervous!

The oil well exploded.

This means that oil production will be greatly affected. When oil production is greatly reduced, in principle, the price of oil should rise, right?!

This news is a hugely beneficial news! But it is very unfavorable for Abel's short selling behavior!

The market responded very quickly.

As expected, the market formed a consistent bullish expectation, jumped higher than the US dollar, and the trading volume increased sharply!

This is called consumable buying in stocks. When all buyers enter the market, it means that the buying is exhausted.

The same is true for futures.

Even Soros' Quantum Fund and Julian's Tiger Fund are specially chosen to short at this time.

These two funds used this method to once call the wind and rain throughout the world, and everyone was afraid of talking.

Soros's quantum fund has a maximum scale of more than 8 billion US dollars. Don't think that this scale is not big. It has high leverage operation. 8 billion US dollars of assets can leverage tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars in funds!

That's why Soros successfully sniped a country in Thailand, leading to a five-year Asian financial crisis.
