Top of the Great Era

in the study.

Zhen Yu, Ning Yaxian, Sun Guanran, Ning Lu, Gu Zanli, and Yao Yao were all there.

Zhen Yu was preparing related materials on Yahoo, and Ning Yaxian was reading emails.

Ning Lu was taking notes, Gu Zanli and Yao Yao were studying, and Sun Guanran was holding a prepared material and reading some of the contents above.

"In the last five games of Manchester United, they only got two wins, two draws and one loss. The team suffered extensive injuries. Nine players including Robben, Van Persie, Giggs, Rahm, Park Ji-sung, Ferdinand, Carrick, etc. Players have suffered from potential injuries, and some people in the board of directors questioned the coaching staff's excessive training..."

Sun Guanran was interrupted before he finished speaking.

Zhou Buqi put his feet on the desk, wore a gown-like nightgown, and leaned on the leather swivel chair with half-closed eyes, "Send an internal public email to Klopp in my name to express my support for him. !"

"Next." Sun Guanran bypassed this matter, "Matrick reported that the acquisition of Cyprus game studio Outfit7 has come to an end, and the transaction is expected to exceed 6.5 million US dollars."

"can."

Zhou Buqi responded bluntly.

Ning Lu was taking notes at the side.

It was the first time for Gu Zanli and Yao Yao to feel the working atmosphere of the big boss so closely. Each of them also had a document in their hands and took notes with a pen and paper.

Sun Guanran went on to say: "Manchester United has initiated a case to repurchase the 6666% of the shares held by Zhu Jun for US$5 million."

Zhou Buqi closed his eyes and meditated, "Land down as soon as possible."

"Social game company Zynga's IPO application has been officially approved and will be listed within this month!"

"Oh?" Zhou Buqi was very interested in this, "Is there any further information?"

Sun Guanran pursed his lips, "All parties are responding positively. It should be that Zynga has bought a lot of media to follow up. But the effect does not seem to be very good. A few months ago, Zynga's valuation once reached 200 billion US dollars, but The IPO price of this time is only US$10, and the corresponding valuation is only US$70 billion. Not only that, in order to ensure that the stock price rises after listing, Zynga also gave up the 15% discount that the underwriters usually provide, which seems to be a lack of confidence.”

Zhou Buqi asked, "What about the mainstream media's reaction? The Wall Street Journal?"

Sun Wanran put down the materials in his hand, and said with a smile: "Not very optimistic, several investment banks are pessimistic. Several IPOs of American technology companies this year, Pandora rose 9% on the first day, Groupon rose 31% on the first day, LinkedIn rose 109% on the first day, but the turnover rate of these companies is relatively low, and the issued equity is only 5%-9% of the total equity, and Zynga is relatively short of money, with a ratio of 15%.

Ning Lu, who was next to her, added: "Even the valuation of 70 billion US dollars is a bit high. The static price-to-sales ratio is 7 times, and the price-earnings ratio is 95 times. Many analysts believe that the current prospects of the game industry are bleak, even if it is The price-earnings ratio of Changyou and Blizzard is only about 25 times, and EA has dropped to 20 times. According to the prospectus, 90% of Zynga’s revenue comes from the Facebook platform. Although everyone believes that social games are emerging potential games direction, but Zynga is too beholden to Facebook."

Zhou Buqi then asked: "What about Changyou's stock price? Is there any ups and downs?"

Ning Lu said: "It's relatively flat, and the listed companies in the game field are basically the same. The capital market seems to be waiting to see the effect of Zynga's listing. If Zynga's stock price rises sharply after its listing on NASDAQ, it will have a huge impact on the game industry. It is a relatively big positive. If it breaks, I am afraid it will not be very optimistic."

Zhou Buqi groaned for a moment, and responded, "Tell Mattrick, don't worry about negotiating with outfit7, wait until Zynga goes public! The price should be lowered, and the price should be lowered!"

He has already made a judgment.

Social gaming is dead, it's in its twilight.It is conceivable that Zynga will be hit by the market soon after it goes public.

As a very representative game company in the industry, once Zynga is looked down upon by the market, the entire game industry will fall into a new round of low ebb.

Capital capital will be cold.

At this time, Changyou can get a more affordable price by waving the banknotes to buy the outfit7 studio.

Zhou Buqi went on to say: "Send an email to Ren Yuxin and tell him that the low tide of the game industry will come soon. Hurry up and buy a few game studios in Korea and Japan. Especially those in Japan. Didn’t MSI help build up all the connections? Tell him to act quickly!”

As soon as there were too many arrangements, Ning Yaxian took over and said with a smile: "Let me contact Ren Yuxin, you are busy with other things."

Gu Zanli and Yao Yao looked at each other, both a little terrified.

Even those who are confused can't understand.

I just have a feeling that the efficiency between the big boss and a few big assistants is really high. Such a big matter can be settled in a few words, and then it can be arranged after sending an email.

It's really elegant!

Not to mention the big boss, even Sun Wanran's second assistant and Ning Lu's third assistant have an aggressive aura, and they have the air of a strong woman.

This is not over yet.

Sun Guanran said happily: "As of yesterday, EA's stock has been fully cashed out. The total income is 12.7 billion US dollars, the tax deduction is 3243 million US dollars, and the net income is 12.4 billion US dollars. It is more than the 11.7 billion US dollars at the time of the transaction." $7000 million."

Zhou Buqi breathed a sigh of relief and was also very satisfied, "Very good, this wave of operations is worthy of praise, send a letter of commendation to Jones, and the performance in the fourth quarter can be given a full score. If it is later, wait until Zynga goes public, don't say If you can earn tens of millions of dollars, it’s not bad to stop the loss at a loss of 1 million dollars.”

Sun Wanran chuckled and said, "After cashing out EA stock, Ziweixing International now has a cash flow of 25 billion US dollars available in its account, and can participate in the Yahoo case..."

Zhou Buqi was a little amused, "With 25 billion US dollars, you want to participate in a case as big as Yahoo?"

"Ah?" Sun Guanran was slightly startled, "Can't you?"

Gu Zanli and Yao Yao were even more shocked as if struck by lightning.

$25 billion, how much is that?

Like an astronomical figure.

But in the eyes of the big boss, it seems that it is not enough to participate in Yahoo's case.

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "Yahoo's matter is very complicated, it's over, next one."

Sun Guanran pouted, gave him an annoyed look, and said something about the game field... In fact, there are many things here during the reporting week, but recently his main focus is on games, "This is Mattrick's suggestion."

"What did he say?"

"He said that the value of IP is getting bigger and bigger, and he suggested the acquisition of Dark Horse Comics. Dark Horse Comics owns more than 300 intellectual property rights, and many of the contents have the potential for game adaptation, especially lightweight mobile games."

"Well, it's a good idea."

Zhou Buqi nodded.

The logic of many lightweight games is similar to the production of commercial movies, relying on the continuity of the brand to attract consumers.

For example, in tower defense games, well-known figures such as "Guan Yu", "Yue Fei", and "Bai Qi" are arranged in China. If they want to hold their positions, players need to spend money to buy more famous warriors to defend.

The United States has no history and no cultural heritage at all, and comics are a good way out.For example, arrange heroes such as "Spiderman", "Iron Man", and "Captain America" ​​to defend, and let players spend money to buy superheroes to gain the advantage of customs clearance.

Now Baokai Studio is using Marvel's superheroes to develop such a tower defense mobile game, with superheroes defending and comic villains attacking. This game is expected to be launched next year.It will be released on the basis of the popularity of the movie "The Avengers" where Marvel's first superheroes gather.

What did Zhou Buqi think of, "Dark Horse comics are very famous, have they been adapted into many movies?"

Sun Wanran said crisply: "There are many, well-known ones include "Masquerading", "Spartan 300", "Hellboy", "Time and Space Special Police", "Sin City" and so on. A few years ago when Marvel didn't get up , the film adaptation of Dark Horse Comics is second only to DC, and much better than Marvel."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Then initiate the acquisition of Dark Horse Comics in the name of Ziweixing Universal. It can be adapted into a game or a movie. Let Mattrick focus on acquiring game companies."

……

From 9:11 pm until [-]:[-] pm.

Zhou Buqi was also a little tired. He came to the United States from Australia, and he didn't have a good jet lag, so he wanted to call it a day and go back to his room to rest.Naturally, I wanted to go to Senior Sister Zhen Yu's room.

This is the task he set for himself recently, to get Zhen Yu and Shi Jinglin pregnant.

Unexpectedly, Zhen Yu refused, you can go to another room.

"Ok?"

Zhou Buqi was a little puzzled.

Zhen Yu was a little embarrassed, after all, it was the first time she experienced such a thing, "I didn't come this month, maybe... maybe I'm pregnant."

"Really?"

Zhou Buqi was pleasantly surprised, and a sense of accomplishment suddenly struck.

Ning Yaxian seemed as happy as him, "When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me earlier? Have you tested it with a test strip?"

Zhen Yu shook her head slightly.

Zhou Buqi was very anxious, "Let's take a test, why don't you go to the hospital?"

Ning Yaxian rolled his eyes at him, and said angrily: "Okay, you can go and do your work, you don't understand this kind of thing, I'll take care of her." Then, she made an arrangement, "You go... Gu Zanli, will you accompany your boss tonight?"

Gu Zanli blushed immediately, and said in a squeak, "It's fine, it's fine."

Zhou Buqi thought it was very reasonable, and waved to Gu Zanli, "A great fairy once told me that every time I broke my virginity, I would be lucky. Then come with me tonight." , Maybe there will be good news tomorrow.”

Gu Zanli was shy and embarrassed, and said softly, "Boss, why are you still superstitious?"

Zhou Buqi sighed, "There are all kinds of wonders in the world. There are some things that are better believed than not believed. Let's go, Yaoyao, you go back to the room first, don't worry, there must be something in life, it should be you What's yours is yours."
