Chapter 547 You are really lucky to be able to join the Tianqi Group! [fourth more]

The next day, Bruce went to Blizzard, met with Moss, and directly took out the contract for Moss to sign. Moss looked at Bruce, but did not sign immediately.

He hesitated for a while and said, "Who do you plan to let take over Blizzard, let Blizzard's founders come back, NO, they are outdated and not suitable to lead the current Blizzard"

"Although I left, I don't want Blizzard to sink."

"I can tell you this after you sign it." Bruce was very calm. I wouldn't say anything unless you signed it. The meaning was clearly conveyed.

Moss shook his head and smiled wryly, picked up the pen and said directly, "It's useless for me to sign, the Ministry of Commerce will not agree to your acquisition."

"You can rest assured that the Ministry of Commerce will agree, otherwise, it would be meaningless for us to acquire your shares"

"With your 30.00% one's shares, plus our current 30.00% eight's shares, the total is 60.00% nine's shares."

"The major shareholder Porter holds 70.00% of the shares. After your shares are sold, his shares will also be sold to us. In this way, we hold [-]% of the shares."

"Do you know why we don't attack you in the stock market, because there is no need for this at all, this world is a world of capital, we are very sure that we can buy you without doing anything in the stock market"

"Now with 70.00% of Wu's shares, we can delist at any time"

"What's more, we reached a deal a few months ago, otherwise, why do you think we stopped for so long without any movement?" Bruce said unceremoniously.

After listening to Bruce's words, Moss sighed and signed directly. He signed four times in total and completed the share transfer.

"Now let's talk about who will take my place." Moss looked at Bruce and said directly.

Bruce smiled "Mastin, he will take your place and keep the company running smoothly".

"It turned out to be him." Moss looked shocked.

I thought about many people, but I didn't expect it to be Mastin. As a person who usually does a lot of work in the company and doesn't talk much, he is easily overlooked.

For a long time, he shook his head and smiled wryly, "Yes, he is a man of action and will lead Blizzard well."

"The two conditions I mentioned yesterday are one less. You can announce that the Blizzard Tianchao branch has been merged into the Apocalypse Game Company. We have already started purchasing the latest servers"

"The performance of this kind of server is three times that of the server provided by your original agent, and the player's experience will be directly improved. From this, you should be able to see that the acquisition of Blizzard by Tianqi Group is the best result."

"We are sincere to the company and to the players, which is unmatched by any company," Bruce said directly.

Moss didn't know what to say. Bruce called Mastin directly and started the handover. According to the contract, Moss had to cooperate for a month, and the announcement could only be made one month later.

With Mastin's cooperation within a month, Apocalypse Group can easily control Blizzard. If Moss violates the agreement, sorry, the transaction price will be halved directly.

For the sake of money, Moss could only cooperate. After discussing with Mastin and Bruce for a while, Moss called the secretary and began to issue orders.

Soon, Activision Blizzard had a number of high-level executives fired that day, followed by several days of layoffs, which made everyone puzzled, because the layoffs were all high-level executives, and many of them were promoted by Moss himself. people.

With the turbulence of Blizzard, the stock price began to fall, but Blizzard didn't care. Bruce and Porter also completed the share transaction. On the other hand, the Blizzard branch began to be merged into the Apocalypse Game Company.

Everything was going on in secret, and the value of people belonging to Mastin began to appreciate. A week passed slowly, and Blizzard announced that this year's profit was lower than expected, and some projects would be cut.

This news directly caused the stock price to plummet, and it fell for four consecutive days. Suddenly, Blizzard stopped trading, which made everyone puzzled. The relevant department had already obtained Blizzard's delisting application.

Many people suddenly realized that Tianqi Group has controlled 70.00% of Wu's shares without saying a word, and applied for delisting, which is to be completely privatized.

The day before Christmas, the official website of Apocalypse Group and the official website of Blizzard jointly announced the news. Blizzard was officially acquired by Apocalypse Group and has obtained the approval of the Ministry of Commerce.

A thunderstorm shook everyone's nerves

The gaming world is a mess

All the major media around the world began to report on this incident, and the players on the Tianchao side were also shocked. I really didn't expect that Tianqi Group could successfully acquire Blizzard.

The next day, Blizzard's official website issued a statement that President Moss resigned, and Vice President Martin will serve as the company's president.

Callon, the former vice president of Universal Pictures, will serve as the general manager and deputy general manager of Blizzard Film and Television, and will be fully responsible for the development of World of Warcraft IP movies.

Apocalypse Group will invest one billion euros in Blizzard Blizzard Film and Television to bring the World of Warcraft series to the big screen.

This news shocked all World of Warcraft players. Obviously, the World of Warcraft movie series will kick off, and many left messages to express their support and firmly support this decision.

On the third day, Blizzard's official website issued a statement that it will be delisted from the stock market, and those who hold stocks can sell the stocks at the price of the stop price, and the company will directly withdraw them.

At the same time, the company name will be changed to Apocalypse Blizzard Game Company, and the qualifications of all agents will be reviewed, and those who are unqualified will be disqualified.

Many people curled their lips when they saw this. It was obvious that this was a liquidation of a group of agents recruited by Tianchao agents some time ago.

It is indeed Xu Ping'an's consistent style. Many agents are regretful with their feet and breasts beating. They are too clear about Xu Ping'an's temperament.

On the fourth day, Apocalypse Blizzard issued a statement that it would severely crack down on the game studios and gold-making groups that appear in its games to maintain the game's financial balance.

When the news came out, the game studios in the Celestial Dynasty were wailing. Many people directly scolded them. They have experienced the methods of Tianqi Game Company. Now World of Warcraft is also playing like this. How can they live.

Mastin's task was very tight. In just a few days, more than 200 people were cleared out of Blizzard's headquarters during the successive adjustments within the company.

A lot of projects have been adjusted. Mastin is well aware of the current shortcomings of the company. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he directly made drastic reforms and eliminated unreasonable products one by one.

At the same time, Ernst & Young acquired 12.00% of the shares, and the remaining holders said nothing to sell, waiting for a higher price from Tianqi Group.

As a result, Bruce attended the board of directors, raised 100 billion U.S. dollars, and paid out according to the proportion of shares. If you don’t have money to pay, you will directly dilute the shares, which makes many shareholders feel bad.

They opposed this decision one after another, and the opposition was invalid. Blizzard must make great strides forward in the next step, and will not stagnate in a hurry.

If you don’t want your shares to be diluted, you choose to invest money or sell the shares. The stock price is discounted by 30.00%. If you like to sell it, the shares are worth this price now. If you want to sell, contact Ernst & Young.

After Bruce made the announcement, he immediately declared the meeting over and left, not bothering to talk to these people.

On this day, Tianchao Tianqi Game Company announced that it will purchase the latest server with three times the performance, so that players can have a better experience.

At present, the server has started to be assembled, and it is estimated that the server will be officially opened in ten days, so as not to delay the entertainment of players.

When the news got out, the players of Tianchao felt at ease. The servers of Tianqi Game Company are powerful, and the game play is really smooth. The game experience will definitely be more comfortable in the future.

Not only is the server of China upgraded, but the servers provided by agents in various countries around the world must be upgraded accordingly. If it is mandatory, if it is not upgraded, the agency right will be cancelled.

The only thing that makes these agents feel better is that the agency fee will not increase this year, and the original price will be maintained, and the contract will be signed directly for two years, which is enough for you to recover your investment in the server.

A few days later, agents from various countries signed new agency contracts with Blizzard, and the dozens of agents who followed Cheng Lei's crimes were all revoked their agency rights and replaced with new agents.

After completing these, Mastin and Callon set off for the Tianchao with Bruce to attend the annual meeting of the Apocalypse Group.

It was the first time to attend the annual meeting of the Apocalypse Group. Mastin and Callon were quite excited, because they had the opportunity to intuitively understand the Apocalypse Group, and asked Bruce directly on the plane if there was anything they needed to pay attention to.

Callon next to him also meant the same thing. Looking at Bruce, he really hoped that Bruce could explain.

Bruce smiled, and told Mastin and Callon, "There is nothing special to pay attention to. I want to remind you that even if you lose tens of billions, you must tell the truth. Once you violate it, you will be punished." direct expulsion"

"The biggest taboo of the Tianqi Group is not to tell lies. If you find out that you will be expelled once, there is no sympathy to speak of. You must keep this in mind."

"Others are not very strict. You have done a good job according to the company's regulations. You can communicate with the president at any time. You can argue if you have different opinions. The company advocates normal disputes at work."

"Once a decision is made, it must be implemented and no further arguments are allowed. When necessary, you can directly ask the president to be the referee"

"If you fire someone because of a dispute at work, you will be fired as well. Many managers have suffered from this and left Tianqi Group. You should pay attention to this aspect"

The three communicated a lot on the plane, until the end, Bruce looked at the two meaningfully and said something with a smile.

"Don't be under pressure at this meeting. After all, you are a newly acquired company, and you can't compare with other companies. As for the profits of other companies, you just have to be prepared."

"At the same time, you also have to carry a certain amount of pressure. Only with pressure can you make progress. The true strength of the Tianqi Group is stronger than what is reported by the outside world. You are really lucky to be able to join the Tianqi Group!".
