I want to make a game

The US$300 million acquisition of Apple is simply unimaginable in future generations.

But in this day and age, in 1996, it really is possible!

Historically, Apple would be on the verge of bankruptcy next year. If they hadn't brought Steve Jobs back, it would most likely be over.

This is one of the reasons why Jobs has always been admired. He saved a dying company and then turned it into the world's top company. There are only a few people in the world with this ability.

This is still the apple in history, but the apple in current time and space is even worse!

Because of Zhulong Computer!

Because he is targeting Apple!

Because Steve Jobs will never go back to Apple!

It has no other choice but to be acquired, and those shareholders will not just watch their investment go down the drain.

US$300 million is already a lot. If Lei Jun were more ruthless and didn't care about those old Apple employees, US$100 million would be possible!

Not to mention equipment and technology, no one wants these things except the Han Dynasty!

You can't sell junk for $100 million.

If Apple were to be acquired suddenly during its glory days, people rushing to buy it would break their heads.

Because Apple has proven their technology and their products are recognized by people around the world, the acquisition will continue to make profits immediately.

But now that Apple is about to go bankrupt, let’s see how many companies on the verge of bankruptcy will be acquired?

In some cases, it is similar to the current situation of the Han Dynasty. The acquired company was bankrupted by a run on it!

It is not too difficult to acquire Apple. If it is too difficult, he will not hand it over to Lei Jun. Apple's technology still has merits, but these technologies need someone to explore their potential.

Historically, it was Steve Jobs who discovered their potential, and now he is Jerry Liu.

The move to acquire Apple has begun, but people who don't know the inside story can't see any relevant news at all.

Liu Zhiyuan took action again and blocked all related content.

Nonsense, what level of company is Han Dynasty?

If it were revealed that the Han Dynasty had acquired Apple, I'm afraid not many people would sell their shares.

Chaos was the most powerful condition for acquiring Apple, and he wanted to see how long the major shareholders could sit still.

During this time, computer games in the Han Dynasty completely exploded.

Any online cafe in the world is full around the clock, and people want to join with money every day.

The first step of the Han Dynasty's computer plan can be declared a success. If corporate users grab a little more share, he will have the first move in the Internet era!

"Liu, the NBA pays you US$100 million every year, how about making the NBA LIVE series free?"

On this day, Liu Zhiyuan received a call from Stern.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he offered a sky-high buyout fee. The reason was that Stern was jealous!

He was jealous of the popularity of those free games!

If the NBALIVE series were free, it wouldn't be any worse than them.

This can bring countless new fans to the NBA. The manager mode is so fun that he can't help but play it in his spare time.

One of the strongest player teams in the game now has one who belongs to him, Stern.

He doesn't even remember how much money he deposited into it, so he can't control it.

Seeing those legendary star cards, he couldn't control his desire to top up.

"PC version?"

"Liu, please, stop joking, you know what I mean."

Liu Zhiyuan was a little speechless. He wanted to buy the entire NBALIVE platform for US$100 million a year. It was a great idea.

The sales volume of the entire series of NBA2K has exceeded 100 million. Including the NBALIVE series, the sales figure will be even higher. This is despite the fact that there are countless pirated copies.

"$100 million a year is not enough, Stern, it's far from enough."

He originally thought that Stern would play the emotional card and persuade others to gain influence and other benefits, but he didn't expect...

"You name a number, Liu. As long as it's not too excessive, I can promise it to you on behalf of the NBA."

"..."

Is Stern obsessed with promoting the NBA?

He can also see the benefits of the free NBALIVE series, which plays an immeasurable role in promoting the NBA. The more NBA fans there are, the more people will play NBALIVE.

Although the more people play the game, the more card packs and various accessories in NBA LIVE will be sold, but there is also a lot of revenue from selling the game itself.

The sales volume of the NBALIVE series has exceeded 100 million. How many years has it been?

By 2020, its sales volume will probably start at 500 million.

An NBALIVE game can earn about 20 US dollars, which is about 10 billion US dollars. 100 million a year is not enough, the loss is too much.

"300 million US dollars a year, increasing year by year."

300 million a year, this number is quite reasonable, although it is a bit lower than selling games. After all, the annual sales volume of each generation of NBA LIVE is between 10,000 and 10,000.

But if it is really free, the number of users will soar, and its potential will be greatly improved. The key is that there is really no rival in simulating real basketball games.

NBA officials have come out to support it. Even if some evildoer develops a better basketball game than NBA LIVE, it will not become popular.

"..."

Now it was Stern's turn to be silent.

He can spend 300 million a year to promote the NBA, but if it's just to buy out the NBA LIVE series of games, he needs to think about it.

"How to increment?"

Liu Zhiyuan knew that Stern was really determined to buy out the NBA LIVE series, otherwise he would not discuss any incremental plans. It seems that US$300 million is within his acceptance range.

"Okay, it seems you are serious. This needs me to think about it carefully. After all, this is not a small number. It is more related to the future of the NBA and this game."

He really needs to think about it seriously. He never thought that Stern would buy out NBA LIVE before. This was not part of the plan.

"Okay, then if you have a plan, you must tell me in time. We can discuss everything."

Stern continued on the other end of the phone.

"As well as NBA players and related things, we have to re-draw contracts, if we can cooperate in depth again."

Liu Zhiyuan didn't know that Stern had been investigating the game market for a long time.

The manager mode, the star card setting that allows players from all eras to be drawn, and the various levels of the cards, simply fascinated him to the point of madness.

He was afraid that he was enjoying himself, so he made a special trip to inspect the market in person.

When he heard countless players discussing which star card was the strongest, which card had the best value for money, and which card was just a name, he decided to buy out NBALIVE.

Because there are countless players who cannot afford the game, or in other words, they are hesitant!

Especially those new fans, every industry needs a constant influx of fresh blood. NBALIVE is watching him come, which is a rare opportunity to add new blood to the NBA!

It doesn't matter if you recharge or not, as long as you come to play NBA LIVE, you must understand the NBA. Understanding the NBA means the birth of a new fan!

Of course, he didn't know that the manager model Liu Zhiyuan focused on developing was not only able to make money by selling star cards, but it was also related to hardware configuration.

He really didn't like the current "card man" basketball game, but he couldn't change it, so he had to use manager mode.

This manager mode is not the same as the later models. It is more like those web games, such as Basketball Manager, etc., where the collection difficulty is greatly improved.

Here’s an ad, I’m currently using the Zhuishu app to cache reading and read aloud offline!

However, as the hardware improves in the future, it will slowly return to the normal MT mode, and it will be an enhanced version of MT.

"Don't worry, it will be soon. I will go to the United States to find you then. It has been a long time since I went to see my team."

"I'm waiting for your call. By the way, your team is very popular recently."

"Haha, of course, I am still very confident in my vision of people."
