Chapter 202

At this time, Henry handed a document to Simon Hodge and said: "this is a list of acquisitions, which details the companies we want to acquire! Roadtrack, a professional automotive magazine, is just one of them. We still need to acquire the game development team! "

Simon Hodge took it, took a look, and whispered, "Sports Interactive?"

Henry explained: "this is a British company developing sports games. At present, the company is very small, but it has good potential. I think it can be acquired! Our FIFA 1994 and FIFA Football Manager can get this team to join in the development together! "

The FM football manager produced by this company in the future can be said to be superior to the FIFA Football Manager of EA company. The game development ability is very good!

But obviously, in the 1994 World Cup, a game called "FIFA Football Manager" was launched, which was highly recognized and more popular!!! FIFA refers to FIFA, which is responsible for organizing all kinds of football matches around the world! For fans, FIFA is football!

The production team of the best flying car has not been set up yet. Henry can't find them. Can only recruit game developers, their own development! The best flying car needs a unique game engine, including graphics, AI, sound effects, and physical effects, which should be very excellent! So, since we haven't found the original team, Henry plans to give the new team enough time to develop a good engine!!!

Three years to sharpen a sword.

At that time, a flying car, who will fight!

And football has Sports Interactive company, plus firefly game company recruitment development team, should be enough to produce excellent works!

Henry did not urge them to develop the game slowly. Anyway, at the end of 1993, the game would be made!

Now there are at least more than two years, more than two years to do two football games, absolutely also in accordance with the boutique game to create!!!

But there will be a lot of work to do before the game is developed.

Before the development of the best flying car, we should win the automobile magazine roadtrack!

FIFA 1994 and FIFA Football Manager before development, to win the game, players and FIFA official authorization!

Firefly game company has accumulated hundreds of millions of dollars in recent years by publishing the works of other game companies. At present, Henry is no longer needed to inject capital into the company!

After Henry left firefly game company, Simon Hodge followed Henry's instructions and began a big expansion strategy. In television, newspapers, online advertising, recruitment of a large number of programmers, game developers, recruitment reached more than a thousand people.

And this one action, immediately frighten EA company not light!

One night, I suddenly found out that my competitors wanted to recruit thousands of new employees. Is it a big move?

EA company held an emergency meeting, and then discussed how to deal with it.

At the same time, EA company sent more than n people to inquire about what happened!

However, Simon Hodge and Henry knew about it.

The development of firefly game platform is confidential and will not be disclosed to the outside world for the time being! And those new programmers immediately signed a confidentiality agreement, and arranged to carry out the secret research and development of the platform in a remote office building!!!

Blizzard game out, the platform will officially debut! At that time, it will definitely blind everyone's eyes

At the same time, firefly game company also formally submitted a purchase request to roadtrack automobile magazine. The market value of roadtrack car magazine is only a few million dollars, and the magazine does not make money, so under the powerful check offensive of firefly game company, it will surrender!

In the end, roadtrack car magazine was wholly acquired for us $5 million!

This kind of action actually let EA company see a little sign.

"Firefly game company is going to develop racing game?" EA company doubts.

By this time, Simon Hodge had sent people to the UK, and then launched an acquisition of Sports Interactive. Sports Interactive is still a small company. Facing the acquisition of a world-class firefly game company, it quickly agreed!

However, as a new company, the founders of Sports Interactive still want to retain their shares and have some autonomy in the company's game development. The reason for this request is that firefly game company has developed into the second largest game distribution company in the United States, and its business model has been well known. Its subsidiaries are equivalent to independent companies. They can develop whatever games they want. Generally, the parent company will not intervene, except that the subsidiaries will cause heavy losses

Sports Interactive is also interested in this point, and naturally would like to join it.

Back against the tree to enjoy the cool, there is a backstage cover, how also than alone, a person out of the strong!!!

As a result, firefly soon completed its acquisition of Sports Interactive, taking 75% of the shares, leaving the remaining 25% to the founders and game developers. The acquisition of Sports Interactive did not attract any attention because it was a small company

However, the next action, it is shocking!!!

Firefly game company conducted public relations with FIFA, spent 100 million US dollars, won all the future FIFA events, players and FIFA's official game license!!!

As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a sensation all over the world!!!

EA company is stunned, originally they have this plan, but it has not been implemented, but firefly game company got ahead of them!!! What's more surprising is that firefly game company has the courage to spend 100 million dollars to win the official authorization!!!

Fans all over the world cheered, firefly game company is so awesome, since they are willing to spend 100 million dollars to get the authorization, then they will definitely invest a lot of money in game development, presumably, the produced football game must be very fun!!!

For a time, fans and players are looking forward to firefly game company's upcoming football game!!!

Simon Hodge is not very difficult to communicate with FIFA. FIFA is very happy to see that some companies will develop football games, because in this way, we can expand the influence of football!!!

And Simon Hodge offered to get the official authorization. FIFA thought about it and finally agreed to it in the face of money. Moreover, it is authorized by the government within four years and has the obligation to promote firefly game company in the 1994 World Cup!

Every game, screen ads have to play a small firefly game company's football game!!!

Firefly game company's big action, let EA company feel an unprecedented sense of crisis!

EA CEO and founder Tripp hawkingsley personally took charge of the company's game development. He especially pointed out that if firefly game company wants to take football as a breakthrough point to enter sports games, EA company can't tolerate it. It must attack it outside! Therefore, EA company's next game football!!!!!!!

Then, EA company held a press conference and declared: "EA company decided to spend a lot of money on the development of football games!"

And after the press conference, it was lively.

Two major game distribution companies in the U.S. will have a showdown on football games ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!

Is ea, which is good at making sports games, the winner, or firefly, which is a rising force?

Countless people are guessing, but most of the media and players still vote for EA company to win. EA company is a professional sports game developer after all, while firefly game company only publishes games of other companies, and it has not produced a game yet. People don't know how powerful it is!!!

The suspense meeting was announced in 1994!!!

At this time, Las Vegas and several British gambling companies have announced that they will officially offer odds at the end of 1993 to bet on who's game is more popular!!! But at present, they are more optimistic about EA company. Therefore, the spokesman of the gambling company claimed that if the odds are offered now, EA company will offer 1:3 odds against firefly game company!!!
