Chapter 305

Houston rocket is a household name in China. In China, if you are a man and say you don't know the Houston Rockets, you really have no face.

Of course, for the vast majority of Chinese today, the Houston rocket is still a very strange and distant name. But next year, June 27, 2002, when Yao Ming becomes the first foreign champion in NBA history, Houston is destined to become the most watched NBA team in the world. It not only became the most popular NBA team in China, but also became a household name in the United States, and became the NBA team with the fastest growing wealth.

In view of the popularity of the Houston Rockets for a long time in the future (Yao Ming will not leave Houston), Lin Feng will naturally choose the houston local station when choosing the local station.

"Fsnhouston" is now a purely sports local TV station, and Lin Feng expects to buy it for about $4 million. Then Lin Feng plans to add a TV series channel to broadcast the TV series he invested in shooting, and another sports channel to broadcast all the future Houston Rockets games. After Yao Ming enters Houston, he will reach an agreement with domestic TV stations to broadcast all the Rockets' games, and his audience rating and brand value will reach the maximum.

It's a huge profit.

Of course, Lin Feng will not disclose this to Abby. If everything is right, it's not divination. Besides, it's better to be mysterious.

Abby couldn't figure out why Lin Feng chose Houston, and couldn't guess. However, Houston is also the third largest city in the United States, and Lin Feng's choice is not too unreliable. Maybe this Chinese will bring some miracle—— AI, for example, wanted to.

Then, after dinner with Abby, Lin Feng left a check for $10 million to Abby to set up the "9.11" charity fund. After deducting Spielberg's $30 million upfront payment for prison break, Lin Feng still has $206 million left. According to Goldman Sachs, the acquisition of 51% of avenue-a will cost US $160-180 million.

Lin Feng has more than $40 million left at his disposal, just enough to buy "fsnhouston" TV station and pay the remaining $30 million of Spielberg's filming of "prison break". As for the acquisition of Sega hardware development department, it can only be postponed for a period of time. Anyway, there is an "anti forest fever" in Japan. The key now is to acquire avenue-a, a company that helps its customers plan and implement Internet based advertising campaigns. The future must be the world of network. The proportion of network advertising in the advertising resources of major manufacturers in the future will be larger and larger. This company is worth acquiring.

In 2000, the sales volume of avenue-a company was 44.22 million US dollars, and the net profit was 5.4 million US dollars. According to Abby's assessment, with the popularity of the Internet and the listing of Google, the profit of "avenue-a" will increase tens of times. The stock price of such a profitable company is at its lowest point, so it's better not to buy at this time. What's more, our company also needs the strength of "avenue-a" in online advertising planning.

Poor! Thinking of the $750 million he earned in "9.11" and spending all his spare time, Lin Feng sighed that the money was useless. As for the 30 million donation of the "9.11" charity fund previously promised, Lin Feng still owes 20 million yuan. He is ready to transfer his "Tom net" shares to make up for it. Originally, Lin Feng was not optimistic about Tom's prospects. He just sold him.

As for Lin Feng's Tencent shares, the future is bright. In the future, Lin Feng will not choose to sell Tencent shares until he breaks through the 100 yuan mark. He has made up his mind not to sell Tencent shares, but to wait for an annual dividend.

If he is still short of money, Lin Feng is ready to list his "starting point fast food restaurant" on the stock market. It is estimated that he can raise at least tens of millions of dollars for himself. If there's money left, Lin Feng's previous investment in 3721 has also developed 3721 Internet assistant. Lin Feng believes that Yahoo, which is eager to see the mainland search engine market in the near future, will not miss 3721. Once it is acquired, Lin Feng can still share tens of millions of dollars.

With these revenues, as long as he survives these two years, and as the "second world" goes through the initial stage of capital bottleneck development, Lin Feng will no longer be short of money. What's more, once prison break is released, Lin Feng believes that prison break can also bring him very rich returns.

Now, we just need to be patient with the "poor" for a while.

But before going to his own business (to buy Houston TV), Lin Feng went to epic, the company that developed "unreal.". Originally, Lin Feng hoped to acquire epic and monopolize the license of "fantasy 2" engine technology.

Although "second world" now has five game development departments, compared with other game companies, there are more than ten or even dozens of game development departments, the foundation of "second world" is too weak, and more and better talents are needed to join the company. World War, in particular, will be a cross era masterpiece, which needs more excellent talents to complete together.

But according to Abby's assessment, Lin Feng needs at least $1 billion to buy epic. Different from the original merger of "second world" and "valve", when "valve" was beset with lawsuits, high-level changes, and running out of working capital, it had no choice but to merge with "second world". Now, epic is just popular, and its "fantasy 2" engine has been sold to a number of game industry companies, such as Microsoft, Sony, EA, THQ, Ubisoft, etc., bringing it a lot of revenue.

In the face of such a company without civil strife and foreign debt, no one will sell it unless a lot of banknotes are thrown in. After thinking about it, Lin Feng can only choose to buy the right to use the engine technology of fantasy 2.

Mark, President of epic, received Lin Feng with great enthusiasm.

"Mr. Lin, I've heard a lot about your company's annexation of 'valve'. It's a household name in the U.S. game industry. I admire it." Mark said with appreciation.

"You're welcome, Mr. mark." Lin Feng said. Lin Feng knows that gable has offended mark. He doesn't believe that mark is so talkative.

Sure enough!

"Mr. Lin, your" second world "is now the most anticipated online game company. What do you want to do when you fly to the United States and come to my little epic company? I have nothing here but the engine of unreal 2! " Although Mark's words are modest, his tone is very proud.

Obviously, gable had offended mark at the U.S. gaming summit. Now, more than a year later, mark is still upset.

"Oh, Mr. mark, you are so wise. I'm also here for your "unreal 2" engine, and I hope to buy the right to use the technology of "unreal 2" engine. " Lin Feng originally wanted to ask if he could buy unreal 2, but seeing Mark's attitude, naturally he didn't have to ask again to avoid self humiliation.

"What! Mr. Lin, you want to buy my "unreal 2" engine, I heard right Mark said in an exaggerated tone.

Lin Feng frowned.

Of course, mark didn't listen to Qinglin Feng's words, but he deliberately exaggerated and yelled. At the U.S. games summit, gable, with the success of "half life" and "anti terrorist elite", said that "valve" in the computer games industry would become a new game giant, and his "havok engine" would become the best 3D engine in the world. This manifesto infuriated several major game engine companies at that time.

However, at that time, half life and anti terrorist elite were hot, and mark and the president of id software (who developed "Thor's hammer") were forced by the reality, so they could only bear the evil in their heart, but secretly vowed to show Gabriel a good look. Later, mark was very happy to see that "valve" was beset by lawsuits and the company's top management changed.

Inside information, a company founded in 1998, is so arrogant and arrogant. This is the lesson. Later, however, he learned that the merger of "valve" and "second world", which is just popular in the online game industry, made mark angry that "valve" had escaped, and he was also a little jealous.

"Mr. mark, I really want to buy the right to use your company's unreal 2 engine technology“ Lin Fengqiang said it again.

"Mr. Lin, as far as I know, the" havok engine "of" valve "is touted by gable as a 3D engine that can lead the industry for 10 years. How can we buy a 3D engine from our small company?" Mark's extremely mean tone made people want to smoke him. Of course, it also shows how arrogant gable was and why gable didn't want to come. But Lin Feng believes that money can solve many things in this world.

"Mr. mark, in my opinion, unreal 2 engine is the best 3D engine in the industry. Otherwise, why should I come all the way from China to New York?" Lin Feng said.

However, obviously, Lin Feng underestimated Mark's resentment towards gable and overestimated the ability of money.

"Mr. Lin, with all due respect, my" unreal 2 "engine is sold by anyone, but not your company." Mark said rudely.

Lin Feng frowned.

"Mark, it's business. The conflict between gable and you doesn't affect the transaction between our two companies. I don't think Mr. mark is hostile to the dollar, either Lin Feng advised.

"Ha ha, Mr. Lin, it's very simple. I want my" unreal 2 "engine to let gable come by himself. If he comes, I'll sell it, or I won't talk about it! " Mark said, ignoring Lin Feng, let the Secretary come in to see the guests off（ To be continued, if you want to know the future, please log in www.qidian.com , more chapters, support authors, support legitimate reading!)
