Chapter 1008 Orcs will never be slaves

"Fuck! What are they trying to do? These damn vampires! fuck! fuck! fuck!"

A roar sounded in the office.

Hearing this voice, the people outside couldn't help but subconsciously shrank their necks, with a confused look on their faces. They didn't know how the boss, who had always had a good temper, was so angry.

In the office, the few people present looked ugly and scary.

"Anyway, Vivendi's purpose is now very clear. They don't care about the game at all, nor do they care about our ideals and beliefs. What they care about is how to maximize wealth from us. Then, the situation before us is already very serious!"

Bill Roper spoke to the people in front of him, his face full of grim expressions.

At this time, sitting in front of him were Marcos Scarford, Eric Scarford, David Brevik, McMohan, Allen Yadhan, and Frank Perrys.

These people are the founder of Blizzard.

Just now, Bill Roper, who had returned from France, told the people in front of him what happened in the office of President Vivendi.

They have always been proud because they are still the well-known one in the global gaming field. Therefore, when they agreed to be acquired by the wealthy Vivendi, they wanted to use Vivendi's funds to develop more and better games, and at the same time seek a better job and environment for the company's employees. However, they never thought that no matter how well the game was done, even if they were well-known in the gaming field, they were still nothing in Vivendi's eyes. Even their company, in the parent company that is now facing a debt crisis, was characterized as "negative assets".

Capitalists will not talk to you about ideals and feelings.

All they pursue is money, and it is quick money!

"Mike, calm down first. Even if you get angry again, it is useless now. What we need to do now is to discuss how to deal with this. I believe everyone already knows about Xueleshan. If we don't deal with it well, maybe Blizzard will be the next Xueleshan." Allen Yadhan advised Mike Mohan.

"Don't think about it!" Mike Mohan said angrily.

However, he just vented his anger, and soon he calmed down.

"Blizzard has been developed to this situation with great effort. We must not let those damn vampires destroy it."

"But, what should we do? We were acquired by Vivendi at the beginning. At the moment, we have no way to resist the power of capital unless we break the rules. But if this is the case, we will probably be excluded from the whole circle and cannot gain a foothold." Frank Perrys said worriedly.

Although he and Aaron Yadhan are the founders of the serious company, they created Blizzard in one hand, but they sold it to Davison United in just three years, and then a series of acquisitions occurred.

In 1995, Blizzard Entertainment launched the highly acclaimed Warcraft ii, and in that year, their parent company Davision United was acquired by Xueleshan.

In 1996, Blizzard finally completed the well-received Diablo, but in this year, their parent company was acquired by Cuc International.

The following year, Cuc International and HFS Group merged into T Company.

Another year later, just when the well-received StarCraft was released, the parent company T was acquired by Havas Publishing Company, and Havas was quickly acquired by Vivendi.

In this series of acquisitions, Allen Yadhan and Frank Perry, the serious founder, have long lost control of the company.

McMohan, Marcos Scarford, Eric Scarford, David Brevik and Bill Roper are the real controllers of the company, and the latter four are also called the "Dark Four".

However, as the founder, Aaron Yadhan and Frank Perry are able to make their own voices at the company's senior management.

"I think, why not threaten Vivendi by resigning and force them to stop interfering in Blizzard's plans?" Marcos Scarford suddenly spoke.

"Yes, we can do this!" David Brevik, who was on the side, lit up his eyes and then said in agreement.

It is in their hearts that they are indispensable people in this company. It is precisely because of them that "Warcraft" has "Diablo" has "Starcraft", and then the Blizzard is now. If they are gone, Blizzard will lose its direction.

So, if Vivendi doesn't want to lose them, don't want Blizzard to fall apart and collapse completely, then agree to their request.

After losing control of the company, this is the most powerful weapon they can think of to have an impact on Vivendi.

"Is it really possible?" Eric Scarford couldn't help but raise objections. He was not as optimistic as his brother.

In his opinion, since Vivendi had dismembered a snow mountain, he might not care about the life or death of a Blizzard.

"Don't worry, it's because Xueleshan is no longer there, not to mention that we have an epoch-making work - World of Warcraft. We can bring more benefits to Vivendi, so they will definitely agree. After all, what they need most now is money!" Marcos Scarford spoke with confidence, with a very confident look on his face.

When Eric heard his words, he instinctively felt that he was a little too optimistic, but when he saw the faces of others, he obviously looked like he agreed. At this time, he seemed to be too unsociable if he sang the opposite tune.

After hesitating for a moment, he swallowed the words he said.

"That's it. We collectively negotiated with Vivendi with the threat of resignation, demanding that they stop interfering with our company. At the same time, we do not recognize any contracts they signed for us, and will step up negotiations in unnegotiated areas, so as to make it clear as soon as possible to fight those vampires in reality!" As the president of Blizzard, Mike Mohan made the final unification based on the results discussed just now.

At this time, several founders formed a force, united and fought against the pressure from capital, without compromise...
