Chapter 703 Activision Blizzard


Chapter 703 Activision Blizzard

As it gets darker outside, the atmosphere in the room gradually becomes ambiguous.

Dalula’s legs are very beautiful, slender, straight, and voluptuous.

When facing her, Barron's eyes were always unconsciously attracted to the long legs wrapped in black stockings.

Barron understood that when Dalula received the call and was willing to come here to find him, it actually meant that the girl had made a decision.

With the sudden silence in the room, Barron sat next to Dalula and grabbed one of her hands.

Feeling the heat coming from the other party's hand, Dalula's breathing became a little faster.

The long skirt she was wearing at this time, from Barron's angle, could clearly see the profound career line...

And it could be clearly seen that as he moved the girl Putting her slender fingers in her hands to play with, her breathing became a little faster and her chest heaved.

Swallowing, Dalula said with difficulty:

"I, I want to drink some wine..."

Looking like she still couldn't hide her nervousness, Barron stood up and walked towards the wine cabinet:

"Red wine, or whiskey?"

“Red bar…”

The crystal clear wine was poured into the goblet. Dalula took the wine glass handed over by Barron and shook it gently. After smelling the unique aroma, she opened her red lips and poured the wine. The liquid was swallowed into the mouth...

At this moment, before she could swallow the wine, Barron embraced her and kissed her on the lips.

Not only that, he also used his tongue to pry open the girl's teeth, and then went one step further and began to taste the fine liquid...

"Well..."

Only With enough time to utter this exclamation, Dalula felt her consciousness gradually blurring under Barron's "little movement", and she had no idea where she was...

...

The sound of "boom" on the racing track is exciting.

When a silver racing car slowly stopped and the driver took off his helmet, he could be seen to be Barron.

"Wow, he was so handsome just now!"

At this time, Dalula, who was an audience in the stands, came to him and cheered.

Although Barron was more restrained last night, it could still be seen that Dalula's walking posture was a little strange.

Especially when a certain moment seemed to touch a painful spot, she could not help but frown.

Prior to this, Aston Martin Racing’s results in F1 competitions were not ideal, and they were always not at the forefront.

However, after Barron took over the company, he also invested very generously in its team, especially after Cosworth’s latest engine was used in the Aston Martin team’s racing cars. In this year's competition, they won at least one championship.

This can be considered the best result of this team in the past few years.

Correspondingly, the sales of Aston Martin's latest sports car this year are also satisfactory.

This is not Barron's first time trying to drive a racing car. Thanks to his rebirth benefits, his body's reaction ability is much better than that of ordinary people.

Therefore, although he is not at the level of a professional racing driver, he still has no problem driving a racing car occasionally to enjoy himself.

Besides, with his status, it is naturally impossible for him to actually compete in the competition - as the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. At most, it's just a guest appearance at this time.

……

"We are in contact with Vivendi and trying to acquire their shares in Activision Blizzard. It seems that they do not refuse to sell these shares, but it is difficult to make concessions in terms of price..."

Caesar's Pat Friedman informed Baron of Vivendi's stance in a phone call.

Yes, Barron is interested in Activision Blizzard, a well-known player in the gaming industry.

In 1991, three graduates of UCLA University in the United States met and met. After graduation, the three jointly founded Silicon & Synapse.

In 1993, the company was officially named Blizzard Entertainment.

It can be said that this company has an unparalleled status among gamers. It has developed a series of masterpieces such as Warcraft, Diablo, StarCraft, World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, and Overwatch.

Later, Blizzard Entertainment changed hands many times and was integrated into Snow Mountain Online (later renamed Snow Mountain Entertainment), and behind Snow Mountain is the Vivendi Group.

Vivendi reorganized its gaming business in 2004 and established a subsidiary, Vivendi Games. Vivendi Games consists of multiple divisions such as Snow Mountain and Blizzard Entertainment.

In 2008, Activision and Vivendi Games merged, and Vivendi Games’ divisions such as Sierra and Blizzard Entertainment were integrated into the game publisher giant Activision.

This is where Activision Blizzard comes from.

At present, Vivendi Group still holds approximately 61% of Activision Blizzard's shares, and they are also willing to sell, but their asking price has scared off many investors interested in Activision Blizzard.

After all, we have just experienced the subprime mortgage crisis. Not only is the situation of Vivendi Group not good, it hopes to keep the operation of the group by selling shares of Activision Blizzard, and other investors will also be interested in investing. Very cautious.

Barron knows that in more than ten years, Microsoft will complete the acquisition of Activision Blizzard for a sky-high price of nearly US$70 billion.

But it is obvious that at this time, he will definitely win over Activision Blizzard, a gaming giant with many game IPs, before Microsoft.

The reason why Barron hopes to conduct such a transaction is because he knows that the game industry will flourish in the future.

It can be said that the scale of the game industry in the future will be several times that of the music and film and television industries.

The game industry will be the fastest growing track in the entertainment industry.

Therefore, it is also very necessary to start the layout from now on.

Of course, compared to Activision Blizzard’s current gaming business, which includes PCs and game consoles, the potential for mobile gaming in the future is even greater.

But currently, the mobile game business is still in its infancy.

And even so, after acquiring Activision Blizzard, the many IPs he owns can still have a very obvious role in promoting the development of some mobile games in the future.

The only thing needed now is to negotiate a suitable price with Vivendi Group so that they are willing to sell their shares in Activision Blizzard...

In fact, for Barron, The hope of acquiring Activision Blizzard is not without opposition.

Compared to before, many people believe that the glory of Blizzard Entertainment has passed. Even though Activision merged with Vivendi Games (including Blizzard Entertainment) to make it larger, the key is that, It seems that the acquisition of this company does not seem to have much synergy with their other businesses.

Yes, unlike Sony or Microsoft, they also have game console or computer businesses.
