"Blair, do I really give people the impression that I'm short of money? Why do they think I'd sell Minecraft, give up sustainable development, and choose to kill the chicken to get eggs?

It seems that I not only give them the impression that they are short of money, but also may have the impression that they have a brain problem..."

Hearing the big boss' self-deprecating complaints, Blair's forehead was roaring and shook his head in awkward manner. Seeing the sneer on the corner of his mouth in the video, he naturally saw that the boss had disgusted with Microsoft's several times of harassment, and hurriedly said with a wry smile.

"Boss, they actually know that there is little hope for acquisition, but they are always thinking about it. If they don't try it, how can they know if it is possible? Perhaps this time the rejection is because the bid is low, and they will try it at a higher price next time.

When some giant companies have bottlenecks in their own professional projects, they will wield cheques that are irresistible to acquire, invest, and penetrate, allowing their tentacles to extend horizontally to diversify their industrial layout.

Mockingbird Game Company is your own personal exclusive to you, so these people are anxious and try again and again. After all, Mockingbird's development and profits have really made too many people jealous."

"This group of people always think too smart and think too stupidly about others. In the future, don't repay such things as acquiring "Minecraft"." Andy sneered. To be honest, he hated others' covet his assets.

The game "Minecraft" is not only described as magic in the eyes of players, but also considered it a masterpiece in Andy's eyes, because this game can be completed and continuously circulating money from players as long as it is very simple.

Since there are no fixed tasks and fixed maps in the game, even if the new version is updated, the changes are not very big. You only need to fix some bugs and add some new types of trees, animals, and rocks... It is roughly the content of the game version changes.

However, for players who are already addicted to "Minecraft", different versions may produce different fun. In their opinion, as long as they are not bugs that will cause the game to crash, they are all rules that can be used. They are willing to spend time searching and researching, and the more they study, the more they will feel fascinated.

"So what else is there?"

When Blair heard the boss' inquiry, he no longer struggled with the previous incident, but took out some video screenshots for Andy to show them one by one in front of the camera and began to explain.

"Boss, this is a classic chessboard online game called "Crazy All Over the Campus". Compared to a typical online video game, "Crazy All Over the Campus" is more like a sports on campus or between schools. Individuals or small groups participating in this sport compete.

The "Campus Campus" group can be composed of hundreds or even thousands of players. They can represent real-world dormitories or schools, compete for hegemony on campus or on specific maps, occupying scenes in the game of hostile schools, and displaying real-world competition online.

I think this online game is very interesting and represents a new type of game that can unite participants in the real world community activities into a common online cause.

The rules of this game are quite simple. In the game, the system will allocate a certain amount of troops to each player every day, and the player must coordinate attacks with his teammates, mobilize troops and defend. Players can mobilize troops once a day, and the game software uses algorithms to calculate the conflict results and gives defenders some "discounts".

Although this game is a bit rough in all aspects, the core idea of ​​the game is very desirable."

Looking at some rough game scenes displayed on the big screen, the army formations composed of villains, and the explanations made by Blair, Andy couldn't help but exclaim, touched his chin with interest, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Haha, it's interesting. Someone actually coincides with some of my ideas. Blair, do you show me this game? Do you have any ideas?"

"Yes, the boss, this game was jointly developed by four Yale undergraduates and a Columbia undergraduate. At present, two schools in Yale and Columbia are fighting fiercely on this game. Players from the two prestigious schools will gather offline to develop combat plans, select commanders, hire players from other schools, discuss strategies and how to spy on the enemy situation.

I think this game has the potential to be popular among American colleges and universities. I want to acquire it and then upgrade it again. Whether it is the picture, army, props, maps, and system, it will be optimized, and then promoted in colleges and universities across the United States, the game can be operated for free, and the advertising is implanted to make profits."

Blair looked at the smile on his big boss's face and the words he had said before that coincided with his ideas, and knew that his boss was also interested in this game.

"Haha, a good idea, five people cooperate to develop... Tsk tsk, how much do you think will make the five people agree to sell this game?" Andy asked with a smile on his face, looking at Blair with interest.

"Whether between 2 million and 3 million, if the other party disagrees, we will develop a new game ourselves to compete with them!" Blair said lightly, a cunning light flashing in his eyes.

"Haha, to be honest, I actually have a creative idea of ​​this type, but my game is a mobile game, and it also has an online battle, but it pays more attention to the competition between individuals. I have thought of the name of the game, called "Clash of Clans".

And the "Campaign All Over the Campus" you mentioned is really interesting. It doesn't require construction. You just need to go online every day to get a team. You can fight alone, or fight between dormitories, colleges, schools and schools. If promoted well, you can even fight in world-renowned universities. It's good and it's very interesting. I agree with your acquisition intention, and you can even directly absorb these five people into the company to be responsible for the subsequent development of this game."

"Boss, have your "Clash of Clans" project been written? If so, I think we can start this project now." Blair asked anxiously, knowing that the big boss's game plan is simply a powerful tool for making money. Which of the previous games was not a popular game, almost all of them were money printing machines.

"Not yet, I'll take it out as soon as possible. You should start the acquisition of "Clash of Clans" first. I need to plan for "Clash of Clans" well, don't worry..."

To be honest, Andy really doesn't want to throw out the "Clash of Clans" project so early. After all, the popularity of smartphones is not high now. Although the Android system has been opened to the market, the first Android phone has not yet been released. Currently, Apple is still dominating the real smartphone market.

Moreover, three days later, on June 10, Jobs will hold the annual global developer conference at the Moscownesi Center in San Francisco, and will launch the second generation of Ai Crazy 3G mobile phones at the conference. Andy also received a personal invitation from Jobs.

To be honest, Andy and Apple are almost completely breaking up, after all, their peers are enemies.

Of course, the direct competition between Andy and Apple is mainly focused on the app store. Although Apple has not completely closed the port of the Free City app mall, it has also defaulted on the contract to delete the embedded icon of the Free City app mall from the initial mobile phone program, leaving only Apple's own sales platform.

The Free City app mall received only the $100 million liquidated damages paid by Apple, but the impact on the Free City app mall was undoubtedly very fatal.

This has led to some excellent iso system software developers turning their attention to Apple's official platform.

The app software based on Android is not without its competitors. There are rumors that Google also wants to build an official Android sales platform itself. However, since no Android version of the mobile phone has been released yet, this idea has not been implemented yet.

But Andy knew that it would be a matter of time before Google could seize market share. After all, Google opens Android system for free for mobile phone manufacturers around the world. It is not really about being a saint, but Google will still charge patent fees.

Of course, this patent fee is no longer exclusive to Google. You should know that when the alliance was formed, Andy asked several of his IT companies to participate and obtained some rights in order to prevent Google from using patent barriers to attack Andy's Free City app mall.
