Chapter 266

PS: there was a sudden strong wind and thunderstorm on my side, so I uploaded it quickly, or there would be a power failure

Henry shook his head. "I have received news that ISO and IEC will launch MPEG-1 standard at the end of 1992. At that time, Philips, Sony and other companies will support this format and launch VCD technology."

Jiang wanmeng listened to this, not from Leng for a while. Obviously, he found the right target by cooperating with c-cube. Jiang wanmeng immediately regretted that c-cube company is making MPEG-1 compression chip, while realnetwork company is not... But fortunately, it has not signed a contract!

Jiang wanmeng was silent for a while. In the later conversation, he was always absent-minded and soon left Henry.

Henry watched him leave with a smile and said nothing more.

After Jiang wanmeng left, he reflected the situation to the company behind the scenes.

"MPEG-1 is about to become a standard, so c-cube is our best partner. They already have mature technology and products, we can soon launch VCD machine Jiang wanmeng said.

"What's the matter?" After thinking about it, the company behind the scenes finally adopted Jiang wanmeng's advice and said, "OK, you should contact c-cube now!"

At this moment, in Henry's office, sun Yansheng, chairman of c-cube company, is talking with Henry, but his identity has changed from Chairman to CEO. After meeting Jiang wanmeng, Henry immediately ordered someone to buy c-cube company. C-cube company is just a small company, so there is no pressure to buy it. It took almost one afternoon to complete the acquisition.

The most outstanding technology of c-cube company is MPEG-1 compression chip, but it has not yet found a profit direction.

Sun Yansheng came here to report the technology of c-cube company to Henry: "the architecture of MPEG-1 compression chip of c-cube company belongs to arm + MPEG-1 video compression unit. At present, this technology is in the leading position in the industry!"

Henry gave him a smile and nodded clearly. Although c-cube company is small, it is specialized in technology. No wonder later generations can monopolize China's VCD decoding chip market. How can it do without two brushes?

Looking at the young face in front of him, sun Yansheng could not help but feel a sense of awe. He used to be the chairman of c-cube company, holding 30% of the shares, but in a flash, the company's shares were acquired by Henry Williams, 51%. Then, he formally held a board meeting with himself and other shareholders. At the meeting, Henry Williams officially became the chairman of c-cube company, and then raised $100 million to dilute everyone's shares. Finally, he was the chairman of c-cube company, Henry Williams holds more than 85% of the shares!

The strength of Henry Williams makes everyone helpless, but the thought that the company will get 100 million US dollars, and can get his support, maybe the company can grow and become a company with a market value of tens of billions!

When they thought about it, they were very excited.

Especially when they think that the market value of many companies under Henry's name is more than 10 billion US dollars, they can't help thinking that c-cube company may also have this potential

Henry's investment of 100 million US dollars is not only a simple acquisition of c-cube company and dilution of other people's shares, but also a layout for DVD. VCD uses MPEG-1 standard, while DVD uses MPEG-2 standard. Obviously, c-cube company has the potential to become a DVD standard setter!!!

The so-called first-class enterprises are the standards, second-class enterprises are the brands, and third-class enterprises are the products.

How can a product enterprise compete with a standard enterprise?

……

……

The next day, Jiang wanmeng rushed to the c-cube company.

"Hello, I'm Jiang wanmeng. I want to discuss with your chairman!" Jiang wanmeng walked into the c-cube company and said to miss qiantai.

"Hello, just a moment. I'll call the chairman!" The receptionist said with a smile.

"All right!" Jiang wanmeng nodded.

After a while, the receptionist hung up and said to Jiang wanmeng, "please follow me. The chairman just has time to meet you."

As Jiang wanmeng walked, he observed c-cube company, because he found that c-cube company suddenly had many new faces. When he came last time, the number of employees was not more than half of that here. Jiang wanmeng couldn't help wondering.

At the door of the chairman's office, the receptionist knocked and then pushed the door open. She said to Jiang wanmeng with a smile, "Mr. Jiang wanmeng, please come in, I won't accompany you!"

Jiang wanmeng nodded and went in. After entering, he first saw a figure behind him. He thought it was Sun Yansheng sitting on the office chair, so he said, "Hello, Mr. Sun Yansheng!"

At this time, the office chair turned and Jiang wanmeng opened his mouth in amazement.

"Wei, Mr. Williams?"

Henry laughed at him. "What's the matter, Mr. Jiang wanmeng? I'm surprised to see you, aren't you?"

Jiang wanmeng was in a daze for a long time, then nodded. At the same time, his expression was very unnatural!

He had been talking with Henry for a long time, but he came to c-cube company in a twinkling of an eye. His intention was obvious! When he saw Henry again, especially in c-cube company, how could he not be embarrassed?

Jiang wanmeng was puzzled. She wanted to ask a lot of questions, but she couldn't open her mouth.

"Sit down, please!" Then Henry waved to him.

Jiang wanmeng smell speech, then slowly walked forward, sat on the chair opposite the desk.

"Mr. Jiang wanmeng, what do you want to do with c-cube?" Henry asked deliberately.

Jiang wanmeng blushed and could not speak.

Henry laughed and said, "Mr. Jiang wanmeng, are you really puzzled that you didn't see sun Yansheng here, but you saw me?"

Jiang wanmeng nodded and said, "yes!"

"Ha ha, it's actually very simple, because I have acquired c-cube company for a long time!"

When Henry finished, he looked at him with a smile.

Jiang wanmeng couldn't help looking shocked.

"Mr. Jiang wanmeng, it seems that you still don't have confidence in me, otherwise, you won't come to c-cube company..."

Jiang wanmeng laughed awkwardly, "Mr. Williams, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect to meet you in c-cube company today. I'm very ashamed! You know, after hearing that MPEG-1 will become a standard, it is obvious that c-cube company will be a better partner. Moreover, the company behind me has decided to cooperate with c-cube company. But now, since Mr. Williams has also acquired c-cube company, the content we discussed before can remain unchanged. If you like, we can sign the contract now, lest you worry that we will change our mind again! "

Henry laughed and said nothing.

Is there such a cheap thing in the world? If you want to cooperate, you can cooperate. If you don't want to cooperate, you can kick it off. When others ask you?

Looking at Henry's expression, Jiang wanmeng felt anxious.

"What do you think, Mr. Williams?" Jiang wanmeng asked again.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm not in the mood to join your new VCD company any more!" Henry sneered, "but don't worry, the decoder chip will still be sold to you!"

Henry has decided to make a new start.

Now that China has allowed foreign capital to set up companies there, there is no need to compromise and take a stake in a Chinese company.

Jiang wanmeng hears the speech, immediately relieved, as long as provides the decoding chip, other does not matter.

Jiang wanmeng left after chatting for a while. Staying here makes him very uncomfortable!

……

Henry incorporated c-cube company into Williams electronics company, and then used the strength of the group to speed up the research of VCD, striving to develop the complete machine as soon as possible, and then applied for a patent. Since Jiang wanmeng does not attach importance to the patent of the whole machine, he is not polite.

In China, this patent may not be useful. But out of China, without paying the patent fee, can it still be sold?

By August, the steam platform had been established.

Firefly game company immediately called all partners together for a meeting, at which the steam platform plan was officially announced. Henry also attended this conference. The importance of steam platform is self-evident. It will be the first platform for countless new games to be released. It will also be the platform with the most games in the world. It may even make more money than firefly platform!

Firefly game company with its game platform and two games, laid the undisputed first in the computer game industry.

This time alone, there were thousands of participants. Most game companies around the world were invited, including EA game company, the rival of firefly game company.

Henry walked slowly to the stage in a handsome suit.

"Welcome to this conference held by firefly game company. This conference is very strong and invites all powerful game companies in the world. You must have been very confused, firefly game company held such a meeting for what! Now, let me tell you! "

Henry said with a smile, "everyone should be familiar with firefly game platform! Previously, many game companies wanted to log on to the platform, but for some reasons, firefly game company did not agree at that time. But we will try our best to meet the customer's requirements. So, we have developed another game platform steam platform! "

"Steam platform relies on firefly game platform, which can be regarded as a sub platform of firefly game platform, so you don't have to worry about lack of popularity! Our company aims to build two game platforms, steam game platform is like NBA draft, and firefly game platform is like NBA. In general, new games are released to steam platform. If the game is popular, you can enter firefly game platform! You must also know how popular firefly game platform is. Once you enter firefly game platform, you can definitely make a lot of money

As soon as Henry's words came to an end, a group of people were talking.

A lot of people's faces are full of emotion. Obviously, this decision has more advantages than disadvantages for them!

But there are also some people who show jealousy. The representative of EA game company is one of them.

After waiting for them to discuss for five minutes, Henry reached out for everyone to be quiet, and then said, "if we join steam platform, we will charge 20% of the publishing fee; Enter firefly game platform, we will charge 25% of the release fee! This distribution cost is several times less than that of the offline game distribution company you are looking for! Therefore, join our company's game platform, you will earn more! "

"At present, more than 15 million people have registered firefly game platform users. That is to say, as long as you enter firefly game platform, you will have 15 million potential users. As time goes by, there will be more and more platform users. I might as well tell you here that up to 11.5 million users have purchased the game registration code of "destroyer" and 9.8 million users have purchased the game registration code of "Warcraft 1"! In this month alone, firefly game company made more than $400 million in revenue

As soon as Henry's words were finished, the bottom was as noisy as a frying pan.

"Oh, my God, it's so profitable. It's $400 million a month!"

"Yes, firefly game company has dug up a golden mountain! Have you ever thought about the net profit?! Except for the little operating cost of the game platform, which is less than $1 million, the rest is net profit! "

"Oh, my heart can't stand it! It's too exciting for me

"Ha ha, if any company's game can also log on to the firefly game platform, I'm sure it will make a lot of money!"

"Steam platform is also good. Since it is a sub platform of firefly game platform, it can naturally drain the popularity of firefly game platform."

"Not only that, after landing on steam platform, you may also log on to firefly game platform. If I were you, I would like to release the game to steam platform! "

"Well, the firefly game platform is already enviable. Now, firefly game company has found another cash cow

"Do you think anyone can have a cash cow? You go to develop a game platform and see how many companies are willing to release games to it? "

"Ha ha, my company does not have the ability to have money tree game platform, but other companies have it!"

"You mean EA games? Hehe, Tripp Hawkins, the founder and CEO of EA company, has a black face. I'm afraid he hates firefly game company to the bone. Presumably, with the launch of steam platform, many game companies will switch to firefly game companies! "

"Ha ha, that's right! In addition, firefly game company also invented CD Encryption Technology, even offline sales, also has an advantage over EA company! Anyway, I've decided that I'll be a firefly game company in the future! "

"Hold your thighs together!"

“……”

Henry coughed two times and pressed his hand to signal silence.

Henry's influence was not boasted. The whole room was quiet and waiting for his speech.

"If the game is released on steam platform, then the offline distribution right must also be given to firefly game company, so as to facilitate management and create greater value! Otherwise, the issue is not unified, it will cause great losses. Offline distribution, our channel is gradually improving, firefly game house all over the United States, and then will set up branches in Europe, even around the world! Needless to say, we have the financial resources to build the world's largest sales channels, we have the ability to create the largest profits for our customers! Today, you are proud of fireflies, tomorrow, fireflies will be proud of you! We believe that under the firefly game platform, there will be some very popular games like "destroyer" and "Warcraft 1"! "

make love!!!!

Suddenly a burst of applause suddenly rang out, a wave higher than a wave, many game companies on behalf of the face showing extremely excited look!

Henry raised his hand and there was silence.

"After the conference, steam platform officially invited investment; A month later, steam platform is officially released, and those interested will sign the contract as soon as possible! "

make love!!!

Another round of applause.

With that, Henry bowed and stepped down. The conference also ended, firefly game company staff began to organize other game companies to sign.

At the end of the day, more than 600 game companies signed contracts with firefly. In other words, in the future, there will be at least 600 games on steam platform!

At this time, firefly game platform home page also began to promote steam platform.

Even the game companies that have not received the invitation can understand the situation of the steam platform, and can also sell the game through the steam platform after signing the contract!

The success of firefly game platform has made many game companies envious, and now steam platform has touched their nervous nerves! These companies have to follow suit and launch their own game platform! However, these companies do not know that the sky is high and the earth is rich, most of them will end in failure!

At this time, the game CDs of "destroyer" and "Warcraft 1" have been transferred from the factory to each firefly game house.

Countless players are hungry and thirsty, and Henry can't entertain them any more.

On the second day after the steam platform's investment promotion conference, it's on sale all over the United States!

In order to inform the players, the firefly game platform was specially promoted. I believe that this news will soon spread to the United States. In fact, the major media in the United States reported the news as soon as they saw it!

Soon, there was a long line outside the firefly game house!

On this day, the rate of truancy across the United States increased by 10%, and almost every school has a group of people to buy game CDs!!!

Some schools even have more than half of the students skip classes to buy game CDs. Looking at the empty classroom, the headmaster grins bitterly. In desperation, he can only announce the day off!

The firefly game house is full of people!

In the game experience center of the game house, a new arcade game was put up. People originally came to buy the game CDs of "destroyer" and "Warcraft 1", but they went to play the arcade game because of curiosity. It was amazing!

Play this new arcade game, just can't stop playing!!!

This arcade is a new game "quanhuang 1992" developed by kapukong Co., Ltd., which was put on sale in early August!

"Quanhuang 1992" is better than "street bully 2". There are many characters, strong balance, many moves, and various combinations of moves emerge in endlessly. When you play, you have a strong sense of operation!

Firefly game house took advantage of today's large flow of people, it will be "Boxer 1992" on sale, now there is no need to publicize, the game has spread among American players! Before long, it will be popular all over the world!

At the end of the day, in addition to the fame of "boxing emperor 1992", 1.5 million CD ROMs of "destroyer" and 1.1 million CD ROMs of "Warcraft 1" were sold. Once this set of data was released, it shocked the whole world!

Countless people are envious and envious. At the same time, they have brought huge influence to firefly game company!

"I can't believe how many game CDS can be sold in one day

"These two games are really excellent, and because they need to go online to play, many players feel itchy because they can't play them. Wait for a long time, finally wait until the game CD-ROM on sale this day, we have to rush to buy? Otherwise, it's impossible to create a miracle of selling so many game CDs in one day

"Yes, that's right! Everybody's choking! "

"In addition, CD Encryption, I'm afraid it is also one of the main reasons for the hot sales this time!"

……

Simon Hodge, CEO of firefly game company, called Henry and said: "Chairman, firefly game house is now full of people. As more game companies choose to let us release, we have to build bigger and more game houses to meet the requirements."

"Well, then speed up the construction of firefly game house!"
