The second largest industry invested in South Korea in summer is the high-tech industry.

South Korea attaches great importance to the development of high-tech technologies. Since 1982, it has proposed a development strategy of building a country in science and technology. Every quarter, the president will preside over a "Science and Technology Revitalization Conference" to examine the achievements of scientific and technological innovation and formulate and adjust corresponding policies.

In addition, since the 1980s, Fusang, the United States and Fusang have also moved their electronics industry to South Korea for production, thus allowing South Korea's high-tech industry to develop rapidly.

In particular, the semiconductor industry is developing in full swing, and some fields have even surpassed the United States, Fuso and other countries to become the world's number one.

In order to protect its own semiconductor industry, South Korea has even launched a special "Semiconductor Chip Protection Law", which specifies the chip industry and technology as the core technologies that affect national competitiveness and is committed to highly protecting technology and property rights.

If it weren't for this economic crisis that caused South Korea to collapse and had to ask for help from IMF, it was forced to agree to its conditions, and the foreign holding ratio of its own enterprises would not be able to get involved in South Korea's high-tech industries in the summer.

And Xia Tian also knew that this opportunity was fleeting.

Although South Korea's economy collapsed and its vitality was severely damaged, it also took advantage of this economic crisis to eliminate the remaining poison. The previous consortiums that were heavily in debt either went bankrupt or were acquired.

In this way, they will no longer continue to live a life of relying on bank loans and national credit guarantees like before. Banks in South Korea and South Korea have also lost their burdens and have been able to take advantage of the situation.

Although South Korea was severely damaged by the economic crisis, its foundation and talent are still there, so it is not difficult to recover. Just like the European countries during World War II, although they were beaten up due to the war, they became lively again in a few years because of their foundation.

Once South Korea recovers its economic strength, if it wants to invest in South Korea's high-tech industries, it will be more than a big deal.

So Xiatian seized this only good opportunity to launch an acquisition in South Korea.

...

Summer acquisitions are also underway in Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Africa, Taiwan, Fuso and other places. The main acquisitions are financial institutions.

USA.

Just three months after acquiring Blizzard Entertainment in the summer, they launched a brand new game masterpiece, Diablo.

Once this game was launched, it immediately won the recognition of players with its gorgeous screen effects, exciting fighting, simple and easy-to-understand operation, complex and playable skill system, interesting equipment collection elements, etc. Therefore, this game quickly achieved very high sales, and sold million copies in the first week in North America.

Originally, when Diablo was developed, it supported Windows, Macos and genius operating systems. After all, these three computer operating systems are now the most widely used computer operating systems in the world.

As a small studio, Blizzard Entertainment has to develop games for three systems in order to increase sales of games. Only companies like Nintendo have the ability to develop exclusive games.

After being acquired by Tianxia Technology, the only versions of "Diablo" released this time are genius and macos. Therefore, if players want to play "Diablo", they must install the genius operating system.

Because "Diablo" is really fun, the market share of the genius operating system has increased slightly for a while.

Although the increase is less than 0.5%, it is still a significant change for the two major systems of Windows and Genius, which are currently in a stalemate market share.

This change also proves that games can really play a role in promoting operating systems.

Therefore, Microsoft and Tianxia Technology have both enhanced their acquisition and support for game companies.

...

Microsoft acquired the famous Activision.

Founded in 1979, this game company is a large game company integrating video game developers, publishers and dealers.

In fact, the acquisition has been discussed since half a year ago and has not been officially concluded until now. This is mainly because Activision's board of directors is not willing to sell itself to Microsoft, and they feel that it is more profitable to develop independently.

In order to impress Activision's board of directors, Microsoft offered a sky-high price of $1.5 billion, so it successfully bought the company. This transaction also became the largest transaction record in the history of American games.

In Xia Tian's opinion, Microsoft's acquisition is not a loss.

Activision has the right to publish hundreds of games, which can greatly expand Microsoft's game library. Moreover, Activision has outstanding game development capabilities and has a wide range of game sales channels throughout the United States.

It would be very cost-effective for Microsoft to spend $1.5 billion to buy it. If it were Activision Blizzard in the previous life, Microsoft would spend $15 billion. Of course, in this life, Blizzard is already a world technology, so the value of Activision will be greatly reduced.

...

Xia Tian acquired vavle.

Vavle is a game studio that was just established this year (1996). It is very small, but Xia Tian knew that its name will spread all over the world one day.

Vavle's representative work is "half-life" (half-life), and the battle game "counter-strike" (Counter-Strike), developed based on the mod of this game, was once popular in major Internet cafes at the beginning of the new century, and is an indelible memory for a generation of game fans.

Vavle's greatest contribution is the steam game platform. This platform uses **** technology, which allows registered users of the platform to download games as fast as possible. This feature has laid a solid foundation for the development of the steam platform.

Coupled with other supporting functions, Steam has become one of the most popular gaming platforms in the world, with more than 300 million users and annual revenue of more than 4 billion US dollars.

...

In addition to acquiring the game company, Microsoft has also announced that it will launch a game console equipped with the Windows system. The new game console is developed by 3do, which it previously acquired.

3do has successfully developed the game console platform 3do, so it is already familiar to them to develop new consoles. With the release of game consoles, Microsoft's Windows system will also be further promoted.

However, Xia Tian was not planning to launch his own game console, but chose to cooperate with Nintendo and Sony to provide system service support for them.

Game companies such as Nintendo, Sony, and Sega need to develop operating systems for the console when developing a new generation of game consoles. The genius operating system is free, open source, and easy to port, which is a very good choice for them.

Once they choose to use the genius operating system, in order to eliminate theft and avoid cross-platform migration of games, they will definitely transform the genius operating system.

If anyone in the world is most familiar with the genius operating system, it is the genius laboratory under Tianxia Technology. Therefore, Tianxia Technology can provide system service support to three companies.
