Chapter 332 The Fiery War on Halloween Schedule

"The company's name is Baokai Game Company, which belongs to the Golden Dawn Entertainment Group and becomes its subsidiary."

"There is no need to be accountable to others, as long as I and the group CEO Victor are accountable, and the group head office will directly lead the vertical."

"The location of the company is tentatively scheduled to be Seattle."

"Of course, after the hammer falls in my technology industrial park, I will reserve a great position for Baokai Game Company."

"Baokai Games has invested a total of 5 million U.S. dollars, and the first batch of 2 million U.S. dollars will be available in 3 days; the subsequent 300 U.S. dollars will be issued in batches within 6 months.

Zhu Ke introduced it like a few.

The $2 million in the first batch was strictly for the acquisition of a game company.After all, setting up a new company from scratch is bound to take time and effort.

Isn't it just money?

Is Zhu Ke the one who lacks money?!

Without mentioning the profitability of the various subsidiaries of the Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, just the billions of dollars in cash lying in the personal account is enough to be considered rich.

Obviously, it is more efficient to directly acquire a game company.

"Dave Roberts, uh, let me call you Dave directly." Zhuke laughed.

"Boss, please speak." Dave Roberts said sternly.

Zhu Ke smiled and said: "Don't be nervous. I set the development direction for Baokai. In the early stage, I thought that social software companies such as MSN and ICQ mainly provide puzzle and casual games. I hope that within two weeks, I will see Your report."

"Boss, I can do it in a week."

Dave Roberts replied very powerfully, and he was completely suffocated at the moment.

You must know before that, although he was a middle-level manager of Microsoft, with extremely rich management experience, he sat on the bench for a long time because of serious problems within Microsoft.He doesn't want to think about anything else now, he just wants to do it quickly.

"Don't worry, buddy, haste means nothing."

Zhuke looked at Dave and said with a smile: "Of course, if you submit me a hungry report a week later and I am satisfied, I will consider an additional investment of 1 million US dollars."

500+100=6 million US dollars!

"Guaranteed to complete the task." Dave promised loudly.

The three Johns immediately looked at Dave with Qixi's eyes. After all, it was more than 1 million dollars!

In 1999, one million US dollars was a very large figure.Of course, even in 2020, not many people will be able to come up with $1 million in cash at once.

After a few hours, the meeting ended.

Dave, John and others left one after another happily.

"Boss, I have some doubts and want to ask you?" Alexander said suddenly.

"Eh? You want to ask, with our huge amount of funds, why not engage in large-scale computer games that are popular nowadays, but choose puzzle and leisure games, right?" Zhu Ke smiled.

"Yes."

Hearing this, Alexander immediately nodded and said: "Looking at the global game market, whether it is Electronic Arts in the United States, Vivendi and Ubisoft in France, or Sony, Capcom, and Nintendo in Japan, in recent years They have all increased a lot of money in large-scale computer game projects. After all, the market in this area is hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of times that of small puzzle games."

Do large computer games make money?

Of course it is very profitable!

"Need for Speed" series, "Warcraft" series, "Resident Evil" series, "Half-Life" series, "Command and Conquer" series...

Which one is not a big profit?

Zhu Ke is very greedy, but he has more than enough energy but not enough!

As a traverser, Zhuke, even though he was not good at playing games in his previous life, he still knows a lot. There are many game designs in his mind, but... they need people to complete!

"I lack people, lack talents!"

Zhu Ke spread his hands and said helplessly: "Art Electronics, Vivendi's Blizzard, Ubisoft, Capcom and other game giants, their talents are now very scarce, let alone us? The market cannot recruit. Talent!"

Puzzle casual games are just a helpless choice at the moment!

Of course, Zhu Ke is also waiting. When the Internet bubble bursts, a large number of Internet companies will go bankrupt. At the same time, game companies will be spread widely, and many game talents will be forced to enter the market.

"After a few months, are you still afraid of lack of talent?" Zhu Ke thought in his heart.

In fact, Zhuke is not very worried.

Puzzle casual games are actually very profitable!

For example, Tencent Group’s qq software, which relies on platform games, makes money from mini games every year, which is definitely not a small amount, on the contrary, it is a very large amount.

But the premise is that this platform must be owned by its own company.

Otherwise, with the game production company, the money earned is at most the rest of the platform.

"Skype (Internet phone) is my trump card!"

"As long as Skype is successfully developed, then I will be able to quickly establish a new instant messaging platform, and by then I will be able to bundle game companies and earn considerable money."

For a time, Zhuke had many thoughts.

.......

In a blink of an eye, more than 20 days passed.

It’s not far from the annual Halloween schedule.

All major film companies in Hollywood, as long as they shoot films with horror and thriller themes, will be released during this schedule, competing for the audience group for the Halloween schedule.

Especially for small and medium-sized film companies, they don't have much money to invest in large-scale and high-cost movies, so they can only focus on horror and thriller movies.

There are many film companies, and every year they count on using low-cost horror movies to sell money and wait for rice to be sold.

You said, can they ignore it?

...

Warner Bros. Pictures.

"It's really a coincidence that a book is impossible!"

"Who can imagine that we are going to collide with Wald Pictures again during the Halloween schedule!"

"God! How many times is this this year?"

"Three times, buddy!"

A group of executives from Warner Bros. Pictures looked at the list of movies to be released on Halloween, and when they discovered the "Death Is Coming" produced by Wald Pictures, they couldn't help but complain.

"We and Wald Pictures, are we really enemies?" An executive helped.

Valentine's Day schedule: "My Grand Greek Wedding" Vs "Message in a Bottle";

April schedule: "300 Spartan Warriors" Vs "The Matrix";

The current Halloween schedule: "Reaper is Coming" Vs "Haunted House";

At this moment, even warner executives who have experienced many battles are very reluctant to run into Wald Pictures. After all, their current battle record is one loss and one tie.

"It's not bad to win, we will still lose a lot of box office."

An executive complained: "Damn Wald Pictures, why don't they die~"

That’s right, during this year’s Halloween schedule, Wald Pictures’ "Reaper is Coming" movie will be released on October 29 together with Warner’s "Haunted Mansion" movie.

"Well, gentlemen, be quiet."

The new president, Barry Meyer, looked at everyone and said loudly: "There is no point in arguing about this now. All we have to do is win this Halloween battle!"

"Beat Wald Pictures' new film~"

.......

Paramount Pictures.

"Hehe~"

The boss Lei Shidong looked at the report in his hand and couldn't help laughing: "Unexpectedly, I just negotiated a cooperation with the guy Zhu Ke, but now we are about to usher in competition? It's really interesting."

Shortly after the release of Wald Pictures’ new film "Death Is Coming", Paramount Pictures’ new film "Dropped Head" will also be released on November 9.

At that time, there will be no shortage of battles.

......

Wald Pictures.

Zhu Ke smiled and said: "The one who changes the contention is still to be disputed. If I am afraid, I will simply surrender."

Bill McNick echoed: "This year is pretty good. After all, the sequels of "Moonlight Panic" and "The Opposite Sex" were not released on Halloween this year, otherwise it would definitely be a pot of porridge."

"Hahaha~"

Zhuke laughed and said, "Old Bill, look at it. This year's Halloween schedule, it will just be a mess!"

"" The second update is sent.
