Reborn multinational giant
Chapter 583
As for GitHub, ordinary people may not have heard of it, but Fang Zhe, a code farmer, has heard a lot about the most famous open source platform abroad.
Since GitHub was founded in 2008, millions of developers around the world have contributed millions of open source projects to this platform. It can be said that GitHub has now become the mainstay of the software open source community.
On the surface, GitHub, an open source platform, seems to have nothing to do with the cloud computing business, but on the deeper side, millions of developers on GitHub are accurate potential customers of the cloud computing business.
Moreover, generally, users who are willing to contribute and maintain open source projects basically have very excellent technical strength. They are at least a technical backbone in the work unit or company, even if they are not the management. When the company has the demand for purchasing cloud servers, they belong to the kind of high-quality customers who can speak.
Not to mention, as a world-famous open source platform, GitHub has considerable influence in the global software industry. In addition to the largest number of ordinary developers, many of the world\'s top technology giants, as well as the top experts of old IT giants such as Google and Microsoft, are often active on GitHub.
The acquisition of GitHub can help Huizhong better collect top talents in the world and reserve talents for Huizhong\'s future development!
Huizhong\'s five-year and ten-year development can also make great progress with the prophet\'s foresight of Fang Zhe\'s rebirth. However, in the next 20, 50, or even 100 years, if Fang zhe still wants Huizhong to prosper, he must lay a solid foundation for Huizhong!
The acquisition of GitHub is not only a big step in Huizhong\'s cloud business, but also the foundation for Huizhong\'s long-term development. Therefore, Fang Zhe and Huizhong\'s board of directors did not hesitate to adopt the wholly-owned acquisition of GitHub submitted by Li Wenbin and the cloud computing department!
At the end of September, Fang zhe instructed Huang Siyi, head of Huizhong investment department, to set up a task force to assist Li Wenbin and cloud computing department in the acquisition and merger of GitHub and Alibaba cloud.
For the acquisition of GitHub, Fang zhe set a capital ceiling of $2 billion. When Fang zhe said the ceiling, Huang Siyi and others present were surprised. They didn\'t expect that Fang zhe paid so much attention to or looked up to GitHub.
You know, now GitHub\'s profit is very little, and the future business profit model is not clear. From a commercial point of view, it is not cost-effective to acquire this company. Even if it is really necessary to acquire, it is impossible to pay such a high price. Although this price is only the capital ceiling set by Fang Zhe, it also reflects the price of GitHub in Fang Zhe\'s heart.
Fang zhe simply explained the macro strategic value of GitHub to them and said nothing more. A few years later, several top it giants such as Google, Amazon and Microsoft bought GitHub, which was finally won by Microsoft at a price of up to US $7.5 billion. Naturally, its strategic value is obvious.
Although Fang zhe believes that it will not cost much to acquire GitHub so early, it is very necessary to prepare a minimum capital of US $2 billion to prevent the disruption of giants such as Google and Microsoft!
As for the merger of Alibaba cloud, although things are difficult, Fang Zhe and Huizhong executives have also discussed several sets of strategic plans. Now the first thing they need to do is to convince Alima and Alibaba executives that Huizhong can provide great help for Alibaba\'s going to sea, and its value must exceed or even far exceed the value of Alibaba cloud\'s survival. When that happens, It\'s time for Fang Zhe and President Ma to meet and chat, laugh and sign an agreement!
Huizhong\'s two major plans for cloud business are advancing quietly and steadily. Although there are occasional rumors from the outside world, Huizhong officials have never affirmed or denied them. At the same time, Huizhong\'s investments on the bright side have also made many listed companies jealous and jealous. Ma De, money is not so capricious!
At the beginning of October, Huizhong wholly acquired the game engine unity and its company at the price of US $1.2 billion. Unity is a game engine born around 2009 that can develop games on computers, mainframes, mobile phones and other platforms. At the beginning of December, with the global explosion of smart phones and mobile Internet, unity supporting a good mobile game development environment began to shine all over the world!
Now, like cocos2d under Huizhong, unity has become one of the world\'s major mobile game development engines. A few years ago, Huizhong has invested in the company where unity is located and become one of its major shareholders. Now Huizhong\'s wholly-owned acquisition of unity will further consolidate Huizhong\'s leading position in the global game industry.
Then, less than a week later, Huizhong announced that it controlled the game company epic at a price of US $450 million. Epic is a famous overseas game company. Its representative work war machine series is very popular with players all over the world. However, many Chinese are still very unfamiliar with the name. It was developed by this company in the previous life until a few years later Fortress night after the fire in China, Chinese people began to know its name.
However, what Fang Zhe and Huizhong value more is another famous product of the company in the game industry, unreal engine!
Unreal engine is one of the world\'s top and most mainstream large-scale end games, host games and even many 3A masterpieces. Many game manufacturers at home and abroad, including Huizhong, perfect, Netease, Blizzard and EA, use this engine to develop many games. Similarly, holding epic is equivalent to indirectly controlling the unreal engine, It further consolidated Huizhong\'s leading position in the global game industry.
In addition to these two blockbuster news that caused a sensation in the global game industry, Huizhong has continuously invested in or acquired many game companies or game studios of different sizes around the world as in the past, ensuring Huizhong\'s dominant position in the game industry, such as tribal conflict issued by Huizhong some time ago, It was developed and produced by supercell, a game company acquired by Huizhong in Finland a few years ago.
In the previous life, Tencent spent $8.6 billion in the heyday of supercell to bring spuercell into its bag. However, in this life, with the adverse advantage of Fang Zhe, the reborn, Huizhong only used a few million dollars to acquire supercell, plus the equity and options of supercell to some executives and core backbone, which is the advantage of the reborn, He is helping Fang zhe all the time!
Huizhong has spent billions of dollars to buy holding game companies around the world, consolidating its absolute leading position in the game industry, which has been envied by many Internet companies and game manufacturers around the world.
However, in November, Huizhong invested hundreds of millions of dollars in several companies, which made the global Internet companies understand what money and willfulness are. Even, like the original o2o, it once again brought a big entrepreneurial outlet around the world!
