Top of the big era

In addition to Finland's Supercell, there is also the Swedish game company King, which has a popular match-matching game "Candy Crush Saga" on Facebook.

Zhou Buqi happened to be going to Sweden to inspect the integration situation after Geely acquired Volvo.

The big boss simply stepped forward and went to fight first.

Speaking of Xiaoxiaole games, the most popular game in this field is "Jewel Puzzle" by Baokai Game Studio. However, it was different in the previous life.

In the previous life, EA did not acquire Friend Studio, but acquired Baokai Studio.

This made Baokai miserable.

In the next few years, no new games were launched. Creativity dried up, development was restricted, and old games became increasingly out of mainstream sight. "Bejeweled Puzzle" was soon going to die.

This life is different.

Baokai Games, under the ownership of Changyou, can continue to exert its remaining heat, especially its early transition to the mobile terminal. It is currently the most influential game studio on the mobile terminal in the world.

Under this circumstance, "Jewel Puzzle" has maintained a sustained popularity. To some extent, Candy Crush Saga is also imitating Bejeweled.

The main audience for Xiaoxiaole games is women, and female players are particularly fascinated by the gorgeous game graphics. Baokai’s entry point is the “gems” that women like, and King’s entry point is all kinds of “candy.”

In comparison, "Candy" is more down-to-earth and realistic, while "Gem" is a bit far away from ordinary people.

So if Changyou wants to acquire King, it will be very easy.

Not only is the other party a start-up company, it is very weak.

There are also certain intellectual property disputes here.

Candy Crush Saga seems to be a high imitation of Bejeweled.

If the deal is reached and Changyou becomes the controlling shareholder of King, then all problems will be solved and there will be no risk of legal litigation in this regard.

The other party will be very eager to sell.

We really have to start a lawsuit... Hum, Changyou is a gaming giant, and King is just a small studio. Intellectual property litigation is often a long tug-of-war, and King can't even afford the huge legal fees.

In this case, Boss Zhou will not be polite.

Use both soft and hard tactics.

Crisp and neat.

Then I called Don Mattrick, who was still in Finland, and told him the good news: "My boss has convinced them, you can just negotiate the price! 80% of the shares, about 20 million US dollars !”

By the time Boss Zhou returned to Iceland from Finland and Sweden, it was already the third day.

Now without Lao Zhang around, Zhou Buqi can be unscrupulous.

The luxury yacht was dispatched.

Then take a boat south to England.

There were a boatload of beauties in cool bikinis, singing and dancing. Zhao Li Muge also had a little talent and could play DJ, which immediately heightened the atmosphere.

Surrounded by Zhou Buqi, I deeply felt the comfort of combining work and rest.

It’s just that DJing is so noisy and really lacks style.

Zhou Buqi stopped, "What is this? What is music? Eh? Wanwan? Where is Li Xinwan?"

"She went to the bathroom."

"Let her sing a piece of Kunqu opera, otherwise her talent in child kung fu will be wasted."

"Huh? Singing music?"

Li Xinwan returned to the deck of the yacht and was in a daze when she heard the request from the sponsor's father.

Zhou Buqi said amusedly: "What are you doing? You haven't sung for so many years and you forgot about it?"

It's impossible to forget this kind of boyish skill. Li Xinwan felt a little embarrassed. She glanced down at the slightly conservative white one-piece swimsuit she was wearing, her face turned red, "Is this how you sing?"

Singing Kunqu Opera in a bikini feels a bit sacrilegious to art.

"It's okay! There are no outsiders!"

There are some things that Zhou Buqi is really embarrassed to say directly.

What is the difference between Kun Opera and Kun Opera?

Kun Opera mainly refers to singing music, which is the music used by ancient literati in their study rooms or by girls in brothels and boats to entertain guests in their boudoirs. There is no need to dress up or change clothes.

Mainly just a cappella singing with a simple soundtrack.

Especially the famous prostitutes from Jiangnan, when they sang songs to the male guests in the boudoir, they always meant to flirt and enhance the atmosphere, and their clothes were somewhat disheveled.

Kun Opera during the Ming Dynasty was popular all over the country and was the "popular music" and "popular music" of that era.

Many great literati wrote lyrics on the spot, and then the famous Jiangnan prostitutes who were proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting sang the lyrics on the spot, mainly for entertainment in private places.

Kun Opera is a public place, it is very formal, you have to look good, you have to put on special costumes, it has to be dignified in public, and it can't be offensive.

This is Zhou Buqi's private yacht and a private place.

Sing a song to cheer up.

It’s harmless!

Li Xinwan had no choice but to take a round fan for shade, without any music accompaniment. The others formed a circle, and she stood in the middle, dancing and singing a cappella a rendition of "Dreams in the Garden" from "The Peony Pavilion".

It's really a boy's skill.

Singing, chanting, sitting and meditating are all in style.

The performance lasted nearly 20 minutes without forgetting the lyrics.

It's a pity that the song is too high-minded.

Everyone was confused.

I just feel that her figure is very beautiful, her posture is very enchanting, and she has a continuous state like flowing water... I only appreciate her body movements, and I can't understand a word of what she is singing.

Li Xinwan sang a piece, and Zhao Li Muge volunteered again, saying that she sang Peking Opera and would sing a piece for everyone. As expected, everyone in my family is engaged in music, so my talent is quite good.

But after singing, you can clearly feel the difference.

Although Zhao Limu's singing is also enchanting and charming, it is actually a bit vulgar, just like a fancier, and sometimes he can make everyone laugh.

Li Xinwan was different. This was a professional performance, and it really brought out the artistic conception. When she sang, the whole audience was completely silent, and everyone was immersed in the atmosphere of the opera.

Little sister Li Shuruo stood up again and sang a piece of Huangmei Opera.

Then the level is even worse, and I can't even remember the words.

Zhou Buqi was quite impressed and called out to Li Xinwan, Zhao Li Muge and Li Shuruo, who had just performed the opera program, and planned to go back to the room to discuss the art of opera.

Then there was a burst of mischievous snickering.

Sun Wanran rolled her eyes at him, then came over and whispered, "Li Shuruo is still a girl!"

"Ah?" Zhou Buqi was slightly startled, "Really?"

Sun Wanran said angrily: "You don't even know whether you have touched it or not?"

Zhou Buqi said confidently: "How can I have the time to remember these! There are so many, I can't even remember them!"

Sun Wanran said in a low voice: "There are still three yellow-flowered girls here, Li Shuruo, Liang Lexin and Zhang Zetian. They are messing around and messing up people... Girls are all precious..."

"Okay, I get it! Why don't I understand it as well as you?"

Zhou Buqi followed his good deeds and stopped discussing art with Li Shuruo, who was not very good at it. He took Li Xinwan with his left hand and Zhao Li Muge with his right hand and went back to the room together.
