Top of the Great Era

Chapter 2174

It's the Chinese New Year, it's bustling and bustling.

Zhou Buqi's main task is to look after the children.Men look at children differently from women, and they have thicker lines.On this day, it was snowing outside, and he wanted to dress the children and go to the yard to have a snowball fight.

As a result, Ning Yameng found out as soon as he put on two pieces of clothes, and stopped him in time, worried that the child would catch a cold.They also called Aunt Xue and Wen Zhixia to stop them together. There was no other way, and the plan fell through.

When they couldn't go out to play, the children started crying.

Unconvinced, Zhou Buqi put on his coat and went outside to find security.Then I got a small cart with a shovel in hand, loaded the cart with snow, and unloaded it into the living room of the villa.

Ten minutes later, three large snowdrifts appeared in the living room of the luxurious villa.

"Xinxin, I'm bringing my brothers and sisters out for a snowball fight!"

Zhou Buqi looked at his proud work and shouted from downstairs to upstairs.

After a while, the laughter of the joyful children came.

Many people don't know why.

When they came to the living room, they all took a breath.

Omg!

Really can do it!

This is to rebel!
I saw Zhou Buqi rolling around in the living room with Niannian, Xinxin, Ningning, Zhouzhou, three daughters and a son, and goddaughters Jiang Bingjie and Dili Reya. The snowball fight is so lively.

Snowballs hit the house all over the place.

The mahogany floors and leather sofas worth 10,000+ are all soaked in snow.In fact, I am not afraid of soaking in snow, but the temperature in the room is high, and the snow will melt in a short while, and it will become a piece of stain.

It's not so bad to be rich!

After a while, members of the family committee, Aunt Xue, Wen Zhixia, Xue Baoshan, Wu Yu, and Ning Yaxian, all rushed over to criticize Zhou Buqi's waywardness.

The children hid behind their father, afraid of being punished.

No way, Zhou Buqi stopped playing snowball fights with them. After playing for a few minutes, it was almost the same, and the children were sweating from running.Although the room temperature was high, the snow was cold, and the children's little hands were red from the cold, and it was almost time to stop.

The rest of the snow, began to build a snowman.

Zhou Buqi went to the bathroom, took out three plastic bathtubs for children to bathe, and piled the snowman in the bathtub so that the snowman could be moved.

The living room was busy.

Ning Yaxian went to find gloves, and put them on for the children before going to play in the snow.

Aunt Xue called Ning Lu, Yang Mi, Yan Qiqi, Li Xinwan and the others. Everyone took a rag and started cleaning the living room as much as possible.

Everyone is busy.

The clear and melodious laughter of the children made everyone's heart warm. Even Wu Yu became envious and wondered if she would also be pregnant and have a baby this year.

Zhou Buqi took the children and built three big snowmen in three bathtubs, and brought potatoes, carrots, celery, and bamboo shoots from the kitchen to decorate, and then moved the bathtubs to the outdoor balcony.

Through the three-story sliding window glass, you can look at the three snowmen on the balcony. Each snowman is waving a flag of celery in his hand, smiling and waving towards the room.

Wen Zhixia was very helpless, knowing that the three bathtubs must have been frozen outside for a few days, and they must have been frozen.This is definitely a real father, but he can really spoil good things.

In order to prevent chemical materials from affecting children's health, these three bathtubs are special children's luxury goods, bought from Denmark, and the unit price exceeds 500 US dollars.

Then, she drove Zhou Buqi away and stopped him from looking after the child.

In fact, he also knows that he has a lot of things to deal with, and he can't always let the children cling to him like this.There is indeed nothing important during the Chinese New Year, but there is still overseas business.

And it is.

When Zhou Buqi returned to the study, he saw a lot of fresh emails. Without a secretary to sort them, they were very messy.He simply did a screening, picking out Changyou's emails to read.

Don Mattrick sent back from the United States, which is the latest comprehensive analysis on EA's trends and the possibility of acquiring take-two.

The content of the email has more than 1000 words. This is just the extracted analysis program. There is also an attached Word document with more detailed instructions.

Zhou Buqi didn't have time to read the detailed analysis of various arguments.

Just looking at the results is enough.

The conclusion is clear.

This thing works!
Zhou Buqi responded with one word without hesitation: "Action."

Then there was the email sent back from Japan by Ren Yuxin, which briefly introduced the progress of many cooperation intentions with Konami, Capcom, and Nintendo.

Finally, a little bit of good news.

畅游斥资6300万美元，已经完成了对当地的2家初创游戏工作室、1家中型游戏工作室和1家小游戏公司的收购，拿到了他们19款游戏的全部知识产权。

The names of the 19 games are also listed.

Zhou Buqi is not an experienced game player. After reading it, he didn’t know any of them, so he simply replied: “When cooperating with Nintendo, you can use Hollywood DreamWorks Animation, and say that you can promote the cooperation between Nintendo and DreamWorks Animation to develop A series of 'Mario Bros.' films has helped Nintendo's game IP become the number one entertainment IP."

The number one IP in the entertainment field is, of course, "Disney Princess".

"Star Wars" and "Avengers" are also strong.

The total sales volume of the "Mario" series of games exceeds 6 million copies, ranking first in the world and more than "Tetris".However, without the promotion of the Hollywood film industry, the IP of "Mario" only has influence in the game field.

If we can take advantage of resources and establish a cooperative relationship with Nintendo, we can not only help Changyou get the game adaptation rights, but also help Ziweixing Universal get the movie adaptation rights, then everyone will be happy.

Finally, it was an email from Lao Zhang from Europe.

Talking about the situation of the procurement fraud case, those perpetrators have already been recruited, and the total purchase amount of 5 million US dollars, the 7 of them have received a total of 4500 million US dollars in rebates, which is much less than what Zhou Buqi expected before. few.

Of course, European laws are so strict, it is impossible for them to carry out cash transfers blatantly, but adopt a relatively concealed form of investment.

For example, the European vice president of Changyou went to set up a personal studio, and then Ericsson invested in this studio... The money will enter the studio's account, and it can be completely squandered by the vice president.The whole process is legal and reasonable, and it is not easy to be discovered.

This kind of operation is everywhere in all countries.

The same is true in China.

However, domestic capital supervision is still relatively loose. There is no need for similar operations between private companies, and they can transfer money blatantly.

Some institutions that are not private enterprises cannot be so obvious.

can be transferred in a similar manner.

For example, a large state-owned enterprise or official organization cooperates with Meng Houkun to establish a joint venture company.Meng Houkun invested 10 yuan, holding 1% of the shares, and a large enterprise invested 1 million yuan, holding 99% of the shares.

At first glance, Meng Houkun only owns 1% of the shares, so it doesn't matter.

But the amount of equity is meaningless at all, the key is to see who has the control.Meng Houkun can easily transfer the 1 million yuan to his own account by relying on his control.

After three or four years, when the company has no money in its accounts, it announces that the investment has failed and the company goes bankrupt and liquidated.

But investment failure, there must be a high-sounding reason, right?

Chips, operating systems, biopharmaceuticals, chemical materials, industrial software, aerospace engines and other technically difficult fields have become the hardest hit areas.

The money was spent and the project failed.

Anyway, it is a high-tech project, if it fails, it will fail, which is normal.

In fact, the real dealer has long been rich.

Of course, Meng Houkun would definitely not do this.He has such a background and connections, and he can become a millionaire by such means, but he doesn't need to.

The money he earns from Ziwei Xing allows him to live in the sunshine, to be on the Hurun Rich List without any concealment, without having to find a way to transfer the money to a Swiss bank and hide it.

Zhou Buqi didn't think it was too strange.

However, Lao Zhang then said one more thing. Changyou will carry out a series of purchases in the future. This time the purchases are not office equipment, but infrastructure, including optical fibers, cables, base stations, iron tower masts, etc.

Zhou Buqi called Lao Zhang.

Lao Zhang almost scolded his mother, "Damn! What time is it, you just call?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Why, you're not jet-lagged to watch the Spring Festival Gala?"

Zhang Chaoyang said angrily: "I'm in London, and I'm so jet-lagged, I watch the Spring Festival Gala during the daytime!"

Zhou Buqi said: "Is there a business, work is not more important than sleep?"

"What's the matter?"

Zhang Chaoyang's voice was lazy, very annoyed at this bastard.

Zhou Buqi said: "What's the matter with the infrastructure purchase you mentioned?"

Zhang Chaoyang said strangely: "You don't know? Many places in Europe and the United States have no network signal, or the signal strength is not enough. If Changyou's branch is located in the core area, the land price will be very expensive, and the area is small. Move to the surrounding area , it is necessary to build some Internet infrastructure to ensure the smooth transmission of information.”

If the country plans to build a headquarters in a suburban park, then the government's relevant infrastructure will keep up, and there is no need for enterprises to do it.

Businesses can't do what they want.

This kind of telecommunications project is a national monopoly project, which must be handed over to a specific department.

It's different in Europe and America.

There will also be preferential policies for attracting investment, and the government will also provide various convenient conditions.For example, Ziweixing Farley Building in New York, the New York authorities spent nearly 20 billion US dollars to renovate the building, and then leased it to Ziweixing International after the renovation was completed.

However, there are small governments in Europe and the United States, and more money is given to policies.

More things need to be done by the enterprise itself. How to do it, how to plan it, how much power and bandwidth are all determined by the enterprise itself.

For example, Changyou wants to use land and buildings as branches in relatively remote places in Hamburg, Madrid, and Stockholm, where the network signal is insufficient.

You need to swim to find a way to solve the problem.

Of course Zhou Buqi knew about this.

Ziweiyun's overseas business is basically done in this way. Ziweiyun's data centers can only be located in very remote suburbs, with almost no network facilities.

All these things need to be done by Ziweixing International itself, either by buying equipment and doing it by itself, or by paying for relevant communication companies and telecommunications companies to do it.

Zhou Buqi said: "I know, what do you mean? Changyou wants to purchase equipment, do you want to do it yourself?"

Zhang Chaoyang said: "That's not true. It is still necessary to outsource to a professional company. The key is who to choose. Didn't you say that you owe Huawei a favor? What I mean is that you don't need to bid, just talk to Huawei directly. Isn't that Office equipment, not next to ordinary employees."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "It makes sense."
