“I believe most of you probably guessed it before you arrived. Yes, this morning, I signed an agreement with Mr. Kodiak Kennedy. I have purchased Mr. Kennedy’s 23% share of Activision Blizzard. Added to the 33% share that I previously purchased, that means I now represent Virtual World Limited in announcing that we have successfully acquired 56% of Activision Blizzard, effectively gaining control of the company.” Finn Lewis began, while smiling.

Although it was already anticipated, the reporters below still caused a sensation. Indeed, Finn Lewis had completed the acquisition and it was an absolute controlling interest.

After he finished speaking, Mr. Lewis didn’t continue. When the room had settled a bit, he went on, smiling, “followed by the announcement of several future policies for Activision Blizzard. Firstly, with a new boss, we must increase employee benefits. In the coming week, after completing the relevant handovers, Activision Blizzard will give all existing employees a 50% increase in salary.”

With this statement from Mr. Lewis, a stir ensued below. A fifty percent wage increase! Wage increase has been witnessed by these pressmen before. Basically, every company acquired tends to increase some benefits to maintain morale. However, nobody has ever vowed to immediately grant a fifty percent wage increase… Won’t this increase the company’s burden?

Even Mr. Kodiak Kennedy stood by, dumbfounded for a moment, then burst into a bitter smile. He found himself at a loss for words. Having such a boss, he wasn’t sure whether it was a blessing or a curse. The Activision Blizzard employees present at the press conference, who came to help, let out a cheer.

A fifty percent wage increase! The sheer scale of the increase, is simply horrifying! Initially, some of the company’s sidelined employees, who didn’t have a high wage, would now undoubtedly become top-notch in the industry!

“Secondly, Virtual World Limited will not make any adjustments to the existing structure of Activision Blizzard. Activision Blizzard will continue to operate in its own way.

“Thirdly, Activision Blizzard will take over the agency of the new game ‘World’ under Flame Nation’s company, and it is expected to complete the related server setup problems within a month.” Mr. Lewis directly announced all three decisions.

When Mr. Lewis finished speaking, the host said, “Now, the floor is open to questions.”

This was Mr. Lewis’s first-time hosting a press conference, there were some new questions. He used to watch Steve Jobs and others hold press conferences, talking eloquently. Now it was his turn, he wasn’t nervous but somewhat excited.

The host quickly picked a reporter, and Mr. Lewis noticed that the reporter was from the largest media group in the North Federation, “Mr. Lewis, I am a journalist from this media, I want to ask Mr. Lewis, it is said that before this, Mih investment group was not ready to sell the 6% stake in Activision Blizzard to Mr. Lewis, so how did Mr. Lewis complete the acquisition of Activision Blizzard?”

These foreign journalists indeed asked sharp-edged questions. Mr. Lewis immediately nodded and said, “This question is not difficult, it’s very simple, just buy the T company.”

At this point, Mr. Lewis shrugged and continued, “Because before I came to the

North Federation, I also took control of the T company. Now Virtual World Investment Company owns 57% of the T company’s shares and has an absolute control over the T company. Thank you. Next.”

The response given by Mr. Lewis led to a brief silence in the auditorium, as though a spark was thrown into gasoline, it “buzzed” and it exploded. Damn, such an overbearing answer! I am absolutely flabbergasted! What do you mean by ‘it’s quite simple’, buy-ups could easily be made! …… Damn this response… I go, even the journalist already got dumbfounded. This response was far from his expectation, but it made him speechless.

Is T company small scale? Compared to Activision Blizzard, T company’s market value is ten times that of Activision Blizzard! To buy a company, one needs to, to say it casually?

“Mr. Lewis, I am a journalist from the Game House of the North Federation. I want to ask Mr. Lewis. Please ask Mr. Lewis is acquiring T company also part of Mr. Lewis’s plan? We all know that T company has a huge user base in Flame Nation.” Another journalist stood up.

“Thank you, but the acquisition of the T company was not part of the Virtual World’s plan. It’s just because I wanted to acquire Activision Blizzard, but due to some problems, I couldn’t get the 6% share, so I had to acquire the T company. It was an accident. “Mr. Lewis said, smiling.

After Mr. Lewis’s words fell, the journalists below were utterly speechless. If they were from Flame Nation, they would probably say something like, ‘damn, such a high profile?’ Even though they didn’t know this term, their feelings were clearly delineated. If it weren’t at a press conference now, some journalists would have probably started cursing.Explore new 𝒏ovels on n𝒐velbi𝒏(.)com

Fuck, an accident? Just to acquire Activision Blizzard, he had to acquire T company…. Damn it, this theory seems right, but could you tell me, for the sake of a company with a market value of 170 billion Federal coins, then you had to get a company with a market value of 1,700 billion Federal coins, what’s the story here?

Is this a mental disorder? Damn it, who does things like this? Mr. Kodiak Kennedy on the stage also just learned about this, but he was lost for words, why does he have a feeling of flattery? Damn it! Probably any Activision Blizzard employee who hears this will feel flattered, right?

In order to acquire Activision Blizzard, someone had to buy another company, T company, that also owns shares in Activision Blizzard…yeah, this is flaunting wealth and power, isn’t it? Or maybe, he is just mentally ill?

“Mr. Lewis, please tell me, is the owner of Virtual World Limited you, Mr. Lewis? I just had someone check it. T company, the parent company of WY company, and the parent company of Activision Blizzard are all Virtual World Limited. Mr. Lewis, do you want to merge these gaming companies?” Another journalist stood up and asked.

“Yes, at present, the share structure of Virtual World Limited is such that I own

95% of the shares, while another shareholder, Mr. M, owns 5% of Virtua

World Limited. NOW, the snares owned by Virtual World Limited Include 56% of WY’s shares, 57% of T company’s shares, and 56% of Activision Blizzard’s shares. These game companies will not be merged. They will operate independently. Of course, the integration of resources between these companies is necessary.”, Mr.Lewis said, smiling.

When Mr. Lewis finished speaking, all the journalists below were taken aback for a moment, and then began discussing. Those present in the venue were all a little confused, not knowing what these journalists were discussing. However, when the host picked another journalist, this journalist asked a question with an excited expression on his face..
