Chapter 1822 Fracture Countdown

“Boss, last year we sold $103 million in games on Facebook, mostly from 2 to 10 percent of users who paid $1 an hour to play paid games or buy virtual items... ”

Before the living room landed in the window, Andy took a look at Ivana, who was taking pictures in the yard, listening to Blair, CEO of Mockery Bird Games on his phone.

“ We are now the most popular game app maker for Facebook users, attracting about 2.5 million players every day. ”

“Well done!” Andy's mouth was full of laughter and satisfaction, and he encouraged, although his career has now blossomed and the size of the gaming company is no longer so dazzling in the business segment he now owns, Andy has always kept the Mockingbird Gaming Company at the forefront of his heart, not to mention the biggest cash NAI bull in the next decade.

In order to catch the high-speed train on the JIAO platform, Mockery Bird Games has developed multi-player online games specifically for Facebook and MySpace and other SHAO websites. In addition to the exclusive purchase of Happy Farm by Facebook, improved versions of "Plant Wars Zombie Page Edition" and "Angry Birds Page Edition", such as "Star Texas Poker" and "Movie World Fool War" have been specially launched by a large number of users. Currently, Mockery Birds has attracted 71 million registered users and 46 million active users each month.

Games and web games on Modo Jiao platform do not make money!

Andy asked about the construction of the next headquarters building and the progress of the various games under development, "Tribal Conflict" and "Marvel Unlimited" were all the work of the future company he had placed high hopes for. Mockery Bird Gaming Company was no longer a small-time joke, but also a small company that needed him to ‘draw on’ some creativity from previous life to make money. It had grown to the size of 50 game development teams, and the company's employees reached 3,000. You should know that the team of "My World" alone has expanded to more than 100 people.

Now, of course, the most profitable games on the list of games downloaded all over the web are the ones he invented by Andy Smith, which also makes the profits of Mockingbird Inc. shine brightly and is one of the few gaming companies that can profit and grow in the global financial crisis.

You know, EA, even if 31 pieces sold more than a million over the last fiscal year, there were several more than five million pieces, four billion dollars in sales, and a net loss of one billion dollars, it was a bloody loss.

Well, after all, EA is the second largest game development in the world after the blizzard, distributor, big family business, but with a current market value of only 6.2 billion dollars, EA is really not going to vomit for long, so no wonder the rumors of acquisition are endless.

“Boss, the industry has been spreading recently and Apple is considering acquiring EA. It seems more reasonable to acquire EA from Apple, which is getting closer to the gaming industry, than from rumours that Apple is acquiring Twitter. According to information received, Apple's cash stock is now close to $30 billion, while EA's market value is less than $7 billion. Apple definitely has this power to buy EA to grow their craziness and love to shoot gameplay. ”

Although my boss was very good at fighting with Apple because of the Free City APP app platform, this did not affect the good cooperation between Blair and Apple as CEO of Mockingbird Gaming Company. After all, they are all the same size, although they are all owners, but after all, they are two independent companies, each with its own head, many games of Mockingbird Gaming Company make a lot of money with the hot selling of Love and Love, and the cooperation is very pleasant, so Blair is very concerned about the news that Apple is going to acquire EA Company.

Heard Blair obviously with the test. Hoping to get some verified debriefing, Andy couldn't help but smile and shake his head. Of course he knew what Blair was worried about. He laughed: "Well, I didn't hear that Apple was going to buy EA. The news came out, maybe it was just a small way for EA to raise the share price. Don't worry, in other words, even if Apple did buy EA, what would happen? On mobile electronics, who could take our first throne? ”

When Blair heard his boss's question, he knew the rumors were unreliable, so he was relieved. After all, as the developer of the Apple mobile electronic equipment factory system with games, he didn't want to meet Apple's new son. Exclusive trading was the most profitable.

Exclusive, indeed, is the most profitable.

But it's also something that a lot of people don't want to see, Andy, hanging up on the phone, is very upset about Apple's acquisition of Twitter. As a director of Apple, he naturally knows that it's not rumours, it's real news, and it's been confirmed that Apple is holding “serious" negotiations with his WhatsApp and INS upcoming Twitter, and if things go well, Apple and Twitter will officially announce the acquisition on June 8, the opening day of Apple's 2009 Global Developers Conference.

Moreover, it seems that Twitter is not only an Apple company, but also a Facebook company that wants to acquire Twitter, and it almost succeeded. If it weren't for Twitter's founder, Lion, it might have been swallowed up by Xiao Mazi.

When Twitter suddenly grabbed hold of itself, the key issues arose with the strong rise and speed of communication of WhatsApp and INS, and Andy's own company spared no effort to crack down on Twitter, demonstrating a strong market domination posture, making Facebook Xiao Mazi feel a potentially huge threat. After all, INS and Facebook have created a lot of overlapping applications.

However, Facebook and Twitter eventually broke down, and the deal didn't work out. As for the reason, Andy wanted to laugh when he thought about it, and he couldn't help but think about it. Little Mahjong the Chicken Thief wanted to use twice the Facebook valuation stock, annexe Twitter for nothing, and Twitter, which was almost breathless when he was suppressed, was the Lion's big mouth, a mind-blowing cash, one had no money for a white wolf with no gloves, the other had no money for a gold cicada shell, and finally the conversation collapsed.

Now that Apple is offering 700 million in cash to buy Twitter, it's hard to expect Twitter's founders and executives to reject it. The main purpose of Apple's acquisition of Twitter is to enable users of Apple's Crazy Smartphone to communicate with each other using Twitter, and ultimately to drive sales of the Crazy App.

However, in Andy's view, this is Apple's apparent acquisition of WhatsApp, which has become a must-have APP for all smartphones, as well as the advantages and development potential of WhatsApp, in an attempt to create an Apple proprietary app.

You know, Apple has always grown up eating exclusively, and Apple is reluctant to be completely open to internet standards, whereas WhatsApp and INS tend to be completely open. Because both software applications are very popular among smartphone users around the world, they can't be unsupported and reduce the user service experience, which makes Apple uncomfortable.

If this Apple acquisition succeeds, Andy can imagine that Apple, while not brazenly not supporting WhatsApp and INS, will definitely make small moves to limit the running of the Love app, with a new tweet.

This is a situation that Andy can predict, can't help it, always likes to eat alone, the mighty Apple company is this urine xing, will you care about Andy's face as a board member, huh, not at all!

Andy entered the Apple Board of Directors, and from the outset Jobs was trying to compile this free-flowing common stock shark, restraining Andy from booming in the secondary market and torturing Apple's share price.

This carelessness did not shake Apple's overall interests and strategic planning at all, so Andy didn't see himself as an Apple person at all, and he knew very well that there was a huge inconsistency between himself and Apple, and one day he would face it again, tearing his face apart as an opponent.

There's no way, Strength. It really doesn't allow Andy to keep a low profile. When a person is in a different position, they have different positions, which determines that he will have different ideas. In a more rude way, PG determines the brain.
