The first thousand seven hundred and eighty-seven chapters
GameStop's turnaround is unimaginable to the shock of the entire game industry. No one expected that GameStop would merge directly with Ouqi Game, which was hit by the dark days ago without a single shot.
The impact of this on the gaming industry is indeed no less than that of the impact on the North American media and Internet industry when Time Warner and AOL merged.
After all, although AOL was in its prime, it made a full-scale attack in the Internet industry, involving multiple businesses such as telecommunications, communications, portals, and browsers. It is not ashamed of being able to challenge Microsoft and Yahoo.
But AOL has not been able to suppress its rivals such as Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, etc. Although Time Warner is also a giant in the media industry, it still has a large group of opponents. Their combination seems to be intimidating, but in fact it has not been able to directly control the North American Internet and media industries.
But this time, GameStop and Ouqi Games were merged, but this is not the case. It seems that this cooperation is just that GameStop, a veteran game retail giant, is building momentum to merge Amazon's Ouqi Games in the game industry, in order to occupy the game distribution and retail market and become the one who has the right to speak and pricing power in the game retail market. It seems difficult to say whether it can be achieved.
But for the game industry, no matter which major game manufacturers, small and medium-sized game companies, independent game developers, as long as they have vision, they can know the meaning behind this.
Ouqi is not afraid of those game manufacturers at all, but the SG game behind it makes the entire game industry feel uncomfortable.
This time it seems that it is a merger between Ouqi Games and GameStop. It is better to say that it is SG GameStop. In the future, as long as it involves game distribution, no matter whether it is released on the Internet platform or recorded as a game disc for sale, it will not be able to bypass SG Games!
To put it simply, it may be a bit too much to become the lamb to be slaughtered by SG. However, after this merger, SG games have occupied more than half of the market, whether it is online game sales or offline game stores. Of course, SG games cannot completely block a game and prevent it from appearing in front of buyers.
But as long as you think, SG Games can not recommend this game, and will not list this game in the game store. Put it in the corner, waiting for the buyer to find it. Unless he doesn't want to make money, which game manufacturer dares to challenge SG Games again?!
SG game platform, Microsoft XBOX console platform, GameStop store, looking at the entire game industry, except for Nintendo and Sony consoles that are located in a corner and can stir up the console market, mainstream game platforms are basically all captured by SG games.
SG games have spanned many fields such as PC, mobile phone, game console and offline stores. It is a foregone conclusion to say that the world's largest game distribution giant is the world's largest.
Just like when Badler faced the media, he shouted out the word "The Aircraft Carrier in the Game Industry", but this aircraft carrier is not Ouqi Games and GameStop, but SG Games!
No matter how the game industry thinks, this time it is a foregone conclusion. The news of the merger of Ouqi Games and GameStop has spread to all places like the wind.
Whether in North America or Europe, many media in China, including games, finance, entertainment, etc., have reported this incident. When one media reported this incident, it gave SG games the crown of "game empire". This is the second Chuko company called the empire by the media after Renren Technology's "social crown".
"The merger of GameStop and Ouqi Games, which is a merger of SG Games Holdings, will have an impact on the entire game industry and even more industries in the future. Whether it is game developers, retailers, game disc manufacturers, players, or even comics, toys and other industries that belong to the entertainment industry, it will be affected, and these will eventually be unable to bypass the game empire established by SG Games!"
This is a media comment on this merger, which is different from other media that hyped Ouqi Games and GameStop's "Century Merger", but mentioned Chuko and SG Games that were taken this time.
Then more details of the merger were reported by the media. This sudden merger was indeed beyond the expectations of many media and the game industry, especially the game industry. Without any warning, it was stolen from its nest and sold to SG Games by GameStop as a pig.
After GameStop obtained more than 1,000 stores, it became the world's largest game retailer indisputably. When it comes to the equity exchange between the two sides, it felt like GameStop was slaughtered.
But after the merger, when the two joint boards of directors were able to get the priority investment rights of SG Games, the entire Wall Street began to be jealous. Everyone knew why GameStop was so clean this time, so they agreed to the merger.
From acquisition to merger, it gave GameStop enough face and then took out 5% of the priority investment rights of SG Games. Not to mention GameStop's board of directors, even those game manufacturers felt that if they were them, they would probably not be able to control it. They also understood GameStop a little. It was not that GameStop was unauthentic, but that Chu Ke gave it too much!
After the merger was announced, Ouqi Games and GameStop began a intensive merger, all of which must be handled before Ouqi Games is launched.
When he returned to Europe with the merger intention agreement, Badler's value and Ouqi Games were valued, and it began to soar again. If Ouqi Games before were just an empty shell, they were just creating momentum.
Now, Ouqi Game has completed the snake swallowing elephant. Ouqi Game has become the nominal major shareholder of GameStop. It owns the world's largest game retail chain store and also jointly holds 5% of SG Game's priority investment rights, which has made Ouqi Game truly the prototype of a giant.
Ouqi Games' valuation has been hyped up to more than 5 billion US dollars, which has increased by 17 times compared to its previous listing. But this is still not satisfactory for Badler. He wants to become the head of two 10 billion US dollars giants, which is far from enough now.
After calling Chen Churen and reporting to SG Games, Badler started a new move again.
Badler announced that he will officially launch the Ouqi Game e-commerce platform on the day Ouqi Game is launched at the beginning of next year, and has reached a comprehensive cooperation with SG Games, Renren Technology, Microsoft, etc. These partners will attract traffic to Ouqi Game e-commerce platform. SG Game Platform, Renren.com, Facebook, Renren Music, etc. will open Ouqi Game e-commerce portals on the platform, and from those platforms, you can directly enter the Ouqi Game e-commerce platform.
No matter how the effect is, it is indeed quite intimidating. Badler has begun to use "Amazon in the game industry" to build momentum. Regardless of whether others agree or not, Badler and Ouqi Games have recognized it.
Then Ouqi Game officially reached a cooperation with several European comics merchants, including comic giant Marvel, Dark Horse, and Riben. In addition, Hasbro, Lego, and MGA have also entered the Ouqi Game e-commerce camp. In the future, these comics and toys will appear on Ouqi Game e-commerce platform. Badler also specifically claimed that on the Ouqi Game platform, the prices of these games, comics, game consoles and toys will be epic discounts, and the prices are much more discounted than those of a bald president's competitor!
The reason why these comics that were waiting and watching before were allowed to be invested in the Ouqi game platform is that the Ouqi game platform is now very popular, and these manufacturers do not want to offend Ouqi Games just like this. If Ouqi Games really becomes Amazon in the game industry in the future, they will definitely find them to settle the matter in the future.
Moreover, Ouqi Games has put forward quite generous conditions for these manufacturers. Whether it is platform commission or promotion, they promise to be better than Amazon. In addition, carrots and sticks are added to imply that these comics and toy manufacturers, if they cooperate with Ouqi Games, the comics and toys they produce will appear in other channels of GameStop and Ouqi. Otherwise, it is not ruled out that Ouqi Games and their mortal enemies will cooperate.
The first person to surrender was naturally Marvel, whose life was hard. At this time, Marvel was not a quarrel with the sky, but a silence of the comics sold. The invested Marvel movie was pitted by Hollywood and was terrible. The copyright of the Iron Man, which Marvel had high hopes for, is in the hands of Chuko's Renren Film and Television.
Renren Film and Television is now shooting Transformers, which are also special effects movies. Marvel is afraid of being worn by Chuko, so they are counting on collaborating with Renren Film and Television on this Iron Man. If Transformers can be sold well, Renren Film and Television will definitely shoot Iron Man. Then Marvel may be able to turn things around with this movie, and the copyrights at the bargain price in hand can also become diamonds!
After Marvel, Dark Horse, Hasbro, Lego, MGA and others announced their cooperation with Ouqi Games to create "own empire" in the game, toys and comics industry!
However, these failed to satisfy Badler. Ouqi Games still need the support of an ally. Badler has set his sights on Disney in the animation and entertainment industry and has huge influence. He wants to form an alliance with Disney and bring Disney into Ouqi Game camp to fight against rivals such as Amazon. However, Disney has no response to the sudden appearance of this alliance for a while. Obviously, it is not so easy for Badler to take action with Disney.
Anyang, after a busy day in the call center, Manager Cai, who returned to his new home decoration this year, sat on the sofa and drank tea to relieve his fatigue. His wife was cooking in the kitchen, and a couple of children doing homework in the study were often heard. Listening to these, Manager Cai did not feel any boredom. For him, in the past two years, his life has been envied by everyone in the original unit.
