The Rebirth of the Male God Starts From Playing Games Chapter 194

Chapter 194 192. Bomi cattle batch!

The negotiation after was indeed as expected by Cao Yang, and it went smoothly.

Behind the Bomi is a strong Chinese market. There is nothing else in the Chinese market, but there are many people.

The effect of the large number of people is that there is a large demand for game products. With the future growth, it will definitely make a lot of money.

Everyone comes from different countries and can cooperate and become an international partner to make money together.

What's more, Bomi has a solid family base and can provide Epic with financial support and expand the market.

According to Cao Yang's plan, Bomi will support Epic to become one of the largest game publishers in the United States. Bomi will hand over the excellent products produced by itself to Epic for the agency for a long time in the future, so this is also considered a reciprocal benefit. Mutually beneficial.

Epic still has doubts about what kind of game Bomi can make, but Bomi is a good thigh, and Tim still knows this.

Finally, after a day of bargaining, a preliminary intention was finally reached:

Epic agreed to sell 49% of its equity to Bomi for $15 million.

Although it has not exceeded half, it is because Tim himself insists on the need for control.

However, Bomi also put forward a few conditions:

First of all, Bomi Games is on the Omi market. As the exclusive publisher, Epic must publish it. There is no right to refuse. The revenue share after publishing is 55 points.

In the future, Epic's engine-related technology will have to be opened to Bomi, and the engine sales will be split between Bomi and Epic.

There are many other details about future development...

If you want to discuss it for a day or two, it will definitely be endless.

This time the intention was reached, Bomi actually made a concession.

But for Cao Yang, this may also be the bottom line on Epic's side. It is already quite good to be able to win unconditional release and engine technology opening.

Engine technology is open, and the main purpose is to add a lock to Epic.

The purpose of this lock is to prevent Unreal Engine from surpassing Bomi's X engine.

As long as the technology is always leading, the X engine will become Bomi's biggest weapon on a global scale.

You can't be a fat man with one bite. Cao Yang is quite satisfied with these items. The road ahead is still long, especially Bomi's routine.

Slowly eat away, and one day Bomi will take control of Epic.

At that time, you can retire Unreal Engine, and you can complete the dominance of X Engine.

After reaching the intention, the rest of the matter will be much easier to handle. In the next week, Bomi and Epic will discuss the rest of the content in detail...

After seeing each other, the initial letter of intent was signed.

After that, Cao Yang didn't need to come by himself, he entrusted his company's legal department to go through the rest of the process.

As long as the U.S. regulatory authorities do not deliberately block you, Bomi's acquisition of Epic is basically a certainty.

After returning to China, Cao Yang backhanded the news of the acquisition of Epic to the media.

Major media, as long as there is game-related, they are basically shocked by the news.

This time, Bomi is really big, and Boss Cao is so high-profile that he is totally different from the last time he was interviewed at the airport.

As long as the media dares to ask, Mr. Cao dares to answer.

"Mr. Cao, why did your company want to acquire Epic?"

"The biggest reason is that we hope that the company's "Shan Hai Jing" can be sold globally. In the United States, we urgently need a publisher. Epic is a good choice for cooperation. Their games are well done and they have a lot of Strong engine and R&D capabilities, so we chose Epic."

"Then Mr. Cao, is the acquisition you went to Vivendi to talk about before is completely hopeless? Bomi and Blizzard have been infinitely close. Is this connection invisible in the future?"

Cao Yang smiled. The reporter's lady asked her questions very well, and she was in her heart.

"I can only say that there is no absolute thing in the world. We used to seek Blizzard's acquisition very intentionally and sincerely, and we also offered a very high price, but the outcome may not be as we expected.

Now that we have Epic as a partner, we believe in Epic's ability. Their future in the United States is not necessarily worse than Blizzard.

I hope that with our sincere cooperation, we can open up a broader market. "

"Mr. Cao, there is another question." A reporter lady brought the microphone in front of Cao Yang. "Since it is about Blizzard, I heard rumors that Blizzard North resigned collectively because Bomi was behind the scenes. , And this time after the Northern Blizzard team leaves Vivendi, they will re-form a new company. It is said that Bomi is pushing behind the scenes. There are even rumors that Bomi is the big boss behind the new company of Blizzard Northern. What do you think? What about this matter?"

Fuck!

Cao Yang was shocked.

There are even such rumors on the rivers and lakes.

This is really awesome.

The reporter asked the question very well, it was a **** assist, and it was in the arms of Cao Yang.

If this question was not asked at this press conference, Cao Yang felt that it was really not perfect at all.

Cao Yang showed a charming smile and adjusted his best posture in front of the camera and countless flashes, “I can only say that the rumors are too wonderful, but they are actually unreliable.

Our company cannot be behind the scenes.

I only heard about the Northern Blizzard Personnel Earthquake in the last few days.

But I don't mind if people associate Blizzard North's former employees with Bomi. If they really need financial assistance or technical support to start a company as you said, Bomi would be happy to contact Blizzard North. Of the departing team. "

Wow!

Boss Cao's words simply released a blockbuster.

This should be regarded as the biggest melon in the game circle this year.

The atmosphere on the scene was enthusiastic, and countless reporters poured in.

The next day, major domestic media rushed to report the interview about Bomi's acquisition of Epic:

【Bomi Technology Company or will become the first company to acquire a game company in Mi? 】

【Bomi is about to acquire Epic, "Shan Hai Jing" is expected to be sold globally. 】

【Bomi's acquisition of Epic, will the light of domestic games light up from now on? 】

【The world's best game engine company, about to be acquired by Bomi! 】

In addition to the news of the acquisition of Epic, there are many reports about Bomi and Blizzard North:

【North Blizzard collectively resigns: Bomi doesn't mind the acquisition? 】

【Bomi ushered in a new opportunity: or will it support the original Northern Blizzard team to establish a company? 】

[The secret that Blizzard North and Bomi have to say? 】

【The inside story of the collective resignation of Blizzard North! 】

【North Blizzard resigns: Who is behind it? 】

【Think carefully and fear: The connection between the departure of Blizzard North and the acquisition of Bomi! 】

The release of these big melons has simply turned the game circle upside down.

The first reaction of colleagues at Xishanju seeing the news is -

"Fuck, fake? Bomi actually wants to buy Epic?"

"That's over, how will we fight in the future? Everyone has Epic to support them. The engine of the Bomi game is completely lost. Fighting with the best engine in the world is not equivalent to slashing with a dragon sword. person?"

"How do you say? We can only say that we don't have the capital and courage like Boss Cao? I also hope that when Jinshan can buy an engine company back!"

"By the way, have you seen this news? Bomi said he would not mind working with the original Northern Blizzard team."

"It's a bit amazing, Boss Cao is playing mystery, right?"

"Who knows? A month ago, everyone thought that Bomi bought Blizzard a joke. Although it is still a joke, they bought a US game company."

"Can it be regarded as a curve to save the country? Although epic is not as good as Blizzard, for Bomi, it will also have a foothold in the future to open up the foreign game market."

"This Nima, is it possible to force us to go out to sea?"

"Going to sea?! I think it's almost the same if you are going to sea!"

Just when the domestic colleagues were shocked, countless players on the Internet were also amazed by Bomi's operation.

"Fucking! Bomi Niu! I actually took over a game company from the United States."

"My blog is awesome! I announce that starting today, I will be a blog fan."

"Cut, you want to be a blog fan, do you agree? Have you played Audition? Have you played Three Kingdoms online?"

"Am I special...I can't wait to play "Shan Hai Jing"?"

"Boss Cao's operation is really very predictable. When you think that people are going to buy Blizzard, Bomi gets an Epic back."

"The Unreal Engine developed by Epic seems to be one of the best engines in the world, right?"

"It should be, Epic people are a bunch of great programmers!"

"There is hope, there is hope for our country's games!"

"So the people who used to black Bomi hurry up and come out to fight. Back then, how did you say Bomi came. The company's acquisition of Blizzard was a joke."

"It wasn't me who said it, it's still a joke. Why doesn't I take it back? If Bomi can buy Blizzard, I will eat shit!"

"Ha ha."

"You vowed not to stand too early, maybe it is really possible."

"You guys, I only saw the first step. In fact, Boss Cao had already thought about the next few steps. Didn't you find out? In addition to the acquisition of Epic, there is another very important news, which is the collective resignation of Northern Blizzard. And the boss Cao said that Bomi welcomes cooperation?"

"Fuck, yes! I almost ignored this message."

"Mom!!! Yeah, isn't Blizzard North not Blizzard? This team has developed the "Diablo" series, and this is the authentic, orthodox Blizzard, okay?

If Boss Cao buys this team, and then successfully establishes a new company in the United States...

Hey, what do you think is this? "

"Who just said to eat shit?"

"What am I...Northern Blizzard...Well, people also count as Blizzard, but only half of Blizzard."

"Boss Cao is really good! Hurry up, buy the team from Blizzard North, and set up a game company like Xiaomi, Micron, and a bunch of Mi games in the United States."

From March to April, the big melons in the gaming circle are one after another.

The players are simply eating melons.

In 2003, it was not called eating melons, it was called gossip.

Bomi's gossip is really endless. From the beginning of the acquisition of Blizzard, to the acquisition of Epic in the middle, then to the collective departure of Northern Blizzard, and then to Bomi [Do not mind cooperating with them], it almost overturned everyone. Tianling cover.

This is too silly, right?

However, just when everyone thought it was over, Bomi released another video.

Official website and major media can see:

In the video material, some fragmentary clips are shown.

There are a lot of modeling and game rendering, as well as real-time change effect display in the game.

The clouds in the distance are drooping and there is lightning.

The electric light whizzed, and a shadow suddenly appeared in the clouds.

It made people's hearts tremble.

This sense of emptiness and the sense of the unknown about the shadow is scary.

It seems that I have lost the feeling of ancient Chinese mythology.

The next second, the camera switches.

Several strange-looking monsters and protagonists wielding big swords appeared.

Although there is no interaction between each other.

However, the rendering of the picture is quite good, and the protagonist's movements are also very smooth and stretched.

The environment faintly gives people a sense of sight.

This is reminiscent of the "Shan Hai Jing" developed by the 400-person team formed by Bomi two months ago.

But in fact, this information is not used to promote "Shan Hai Jing", but to promote the company's X engine.

After all, the "Shan Hai Jing" is still in the early stages of development, and it's not what it looks like.

However, it is still possible to use some well-made models to show the effect of the company's game engine.

"Shan Hai Jing" is just a hype along the way.

So far, it's just a demonstration animation, but it also detonated the enthusiasm of domestic players.

"God, it's too awesome, right?"

"You tell me this is our country's own engine?"

"Bomi is so awesome, it can make such a powerful game engine? I can't believe my eyes."

"Are you sure that Epic didn't help this? Didn't it mean that Bomi just bought Epic?"

"What do you think, the process has not been completed yet, and Epic has not yet been acquired by Bomi."

"My mother! Is there any pitfall in Boss Cao's mind? He already has such a good engine, why buy Epic?"

"Yes, I can't understand this wave of operations by Boss Cao either."

"You people, when did you understand the operation of Boss Cao? The operation of Boss Cao cannot be understood by ordinary people."

"Fuck, I can't understand, I'm an ordinary person."

"I am an average person too."

"Same as above for ordinary people."

Cao Yang released the promotional video of this x engine. The promotion is on the one hand, it can maintain continuous topicality and popularity, and at the same time let those who have no brains before to see what is called real technology.

But more importantly, it is to prevent U.S. regulators from getting stuck.

This is easy to understand:

If the relevant departments were still worried at the beginning whether the licensing of advanced technology to Chinese companies would cause any follow-up problems, then the X engine is to show them-

Lao Tzu's game engine is already in the forefront of the world, and you don't have to worry about the advanced engine technology being acquired by China.

Because we are not rare.

Sure enough, after Bomi's X engine promotional video was released, relevant U.S. regulatory authorities accelerated the review of Bomi's acquisition of Epic.

You are a company whose engine technology is already at the forefront of the world, so there is no need to get stuck on you.

Moreover, the most important core technology in the U.S. lies in the hardware, and it is very difficult to think about the software.

Software is nothing more than some algorithms, and hardware is a manufacturing process.

On the algorithm, the Chinese people's talents and advantages in this area can be described as "horror like this".

In terms of manufacturing technology, China is indeed still a lot behind, so the United States only needs to jam the hardware.

There are even many companies on the software that completely open the source code.

Since it can no longer constitute a patent barrier, it can be opened up.

Epic's company president, Tim, frowned after watching the X engine introduction video released by Bomi.

He couldn't help himself for a long time.

Unexpectedly, the Chinese game engine technology is already so powerful.

Judging from the effect shown in the video, this X engine is at least 3 to 5 years ahead of them.

The effects and needs that Epic hadn't thought of by itself are all displayed and reflected in this game engine.

Tim can only say--

Ashamed.

Cliff next to probably has a similar expression.

"I don't understand one thing," Tim frowned, "Why does Bomi Mingming have such advanced technology, he wants to buy our company. Isn't the value of our company a game engine?"

"This..." Cliff shook his head, but he didn't understand this.

Epic this year has no game platform yet, and their greatest value lies in the game engine.

You can't say that the Chinese actually value Epic's game development capabilities, right?

So far, the most famous game made by Epic is "Unreal" and that's it.

Of course, the previous Epic has other good games, such as "Gears of War" and the most profitable "Fortress Night"

But at this time, Epic really doesn't have any good games.

"Awesome President Cao," the little secretary felt sweet when she drank soy milk in the morning, "The media are reporting that Bomi will soon acquire Epic.

It seems that the decision this time is very wise.

I think buying Epic is much better than buying Blizzard. "

Basically, Bomi's acquisition of Epic has come to the end.

Since Bomi released the X-engine propaganda video, the U.S. regulatory authorities passed quite quickly.

A company that doesn't need technology, the acquisition of a company in the U.S. that is of little value to them can bring a lot of income to the country in the future. There is no reason to refuse.

If nothing happens, the equity transfer process should be completed in the second half of the year.

Cao Yang smiled slightly, "What is this? This is only the first step."

Those news is not just letting go.
