Chapter 1018: Across the River, Still Singing Backyard Flowers
With Blizzard's status in the gaming industry, its personnel changes will definitely trigger a strong response.
Especially things like the resignation of the founder team and all the executive teams are like an earthquake.
That's a super producer team that has made several classic games.
Just leave?
For a moment, the entire Blizzard team headquarters was in panic.
Of course, after leaving Blizzard and over the initial panic, they calmed down and planned to start a counterattack.
But for them, the power of a single person is too small to compete with a behemoth like Vivendi.
Even if they add up, it's still useless.
But who are they? They are the king of Blizzard.
How could they be willing to be swept out like this?
So, after discussion, they began to frequently contact Blizzard's former subordinates and confidants.
Under their instigation, many people still strengthened their determination to follow them.
To be honest, their abilities have really made their former followers admire them. It is under their hosting and leadership that so many classic games have been born.
Without them, there would be no Blizzard as it is now.
Therefore, they were willing to drive Mike and others.
So, after Mike Mohan and others left Blizzard, more than 40 employees successively resigned to the company, left the company, and followed in the footsteps of Mike Mohan and others.
Mike Mohan and others thought that this way could bring trouble to Vivendi, allowing Fortu to see their power, and reexamine the decision to expel them from the company.
However, they never thought that in the eyes of Fortu and others, their efforts to cherish were just a tool to make money.
They don't care at all, what the future of this tool will be like.
As long as you can bring them money to solve the problem now, that's enough.
The earthquake at the high-rise side of Blizzard has not yet reached China.
Or, the employees at Blizzard headquarters are in a panic moment, because the situation in recent days is like a roller coaster ride. Seeing those familiar colleagues leaving one by one, they don’t know where the company’s future will go.
I can’t even take care of myself, let alone go to the China region, which is thousands of miles away.
And just when Blizzard headquarters was in panic, the bidding activity for the agency rights of "World of Warcraft" in China was also underway as scheduled.
2 pm.
The Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Shanghai Portman, opened in 1998. It is located on the famous Jinling Road. It is a comprehensive hotel integrating retail, catering and entertainment.
Because it is a sole proprietorship hotel in the United States, it is a must-have place for almost all American politicians to come to Shanghai.
This bidding meeting is no exception. Blizzard specially booked the banquet hall of the Portman Ritz Hotel as the site of the bidding meeting.
First of all, on the outside of the hotel, a huge spray-painted cloth was hung high, with a huge pattern of World of Warcraft, which looked very eye-catching. As long as you walk near the hotel, you can almost see the hideous orc on it at a glance.
On the street in front of the hotel, there are dense water-filled flagpoles, with blizzard flags on it, fluttering in the wind. In addition to being spectacular, it also has a bit of solemnity and solemnity.
The long red carpet extends from the hotel to the outside, with flowers on both sides. Although these basic arrangements are not new, at least they give people a good experience in terms of feeling.
After entering the hotel lobby, an LED screen was arranged in the center of the lobby, and the relevant pictures and promotional videos about "World of Warcraft" specially edited by Blizzard Company were constantly flashing, which looked very exciting.
Regarding this public bidding meeting, as early as when we received news from the headquarters, Blizzard's team in China had already begun to promote and promote it. Through major media channels, various reports and discussions about this bidding meeting began to spread in China.
That's Blizzard. In the game field, it's like a god. It's surrounded by countless people, both in China and around the world, so the first online game they developed naturally attracted considerable attention.
Now who doesn’t know how big the plate of online games is.
Everyone is very concerned about whether Blizzard, which has always been a god in the stand-alone field, can become a god like it in the stand-alone game field after entering online games?
However, at this time, many loyal fans have begun to express their love on the Internet in excitement.
Whether it is major professional game media or online players, they are discussing who will lose the agency rights of World of Warcraft in China this time.
For a time, almost all the domestic games-loving eyes were focused on the Portman Ritz Hotel.
From 12 noon, various figures have appeared around the hotel.
Most of them are reporters, and they are waiting anxiously here, recording the situation of this bidding meeting throughout the whole process, and interviewing subsequent events.
In addition, there are quite a few players from all over the country. At this time, they are standing outside the hotel, holding various banners or slogans in their hands, using this method to express their support for World of Warcraft.
Zhu Jun got out of the car, first took a look at the lively situation around him, and then took his men and walked straight to the interior of the hotel.
Zhu Jun is now a well-known existence in the online game circle, so he got off the car and attracted the attention of reporters. When he walked towards the lobby, a large number of reporters soon surrounded him, and the microphone also reached towards his mouth, and asked Zhu Jun various questions loudly.
Zhu Jun subconsciously turned around and was about to answer the question, a car appeared in his sight. When the car stopped, Dasheng's Qiao Tian and his wife appeared in Zhu Jun's eyes.
Just as Zhu Jun looked at Qiao Tian, Qiao Tian seemed to feel something, subconsciously looking here, and also noticed Zhu Jun surrounded by the media.
The two bigwigs in the Internet field, just like this, from a distance, looking at each other, and the intersection of sight seemed to bring a spark...
