"Boss, last year we made $103 million in game sales on Facebook, and most of the revenue comes from two to ten percent of users who pay $10 per hour to play paid games or buy virtual items."

In front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, Andy held the report of Ivana who was taking pictures in the yard while listening to the report of the ridiculous game company Ceare on his mobile phone.

“We are now the most popular game app maker among Facebook users, attracting about 2.5 million players a day on Facebook.”

"Good job!" Andy smiled and encouraged with satisfaction. Although his career has blossomed in full swing and the scale of the game company is no longer so dazzling among the business sectors he currently owns, Andy has always put the Mocking Bird Game Company in the most important position in his heart. Not to mention anything else, this is his biggest cash cow in the next ten years.

In order to catch the high-speed train of the social Jiao platform, Mockingbird Games Company specializes in developing multiplayer online games for Facebook and websites. In addition to the exclusive buyout of "Happy Farm" by Facebook, the improved versions of "Plant vs. Zombie Edition" and "Angry Birds" specially launched, and other games such as "Star Texas Hold'em" and "Following Movie World" are all sought after by a large number of users. Currently, the games launched by Mockingbird have attracted 71 million registered users and 46 million active users per month.

Don’t make money by games and web games on the social Jiao platform!

Andy asked about the construction of the headquarters building and the progress of various games under development. "Clash of Clans" and "Marvel Infinity" are all the masterpieces of future companies that he has high hopes for. Mockingbird Games is no longer a small game, but it also requires him to "get from" some creativity in his previous life to make money. It has developed to the scale of its fifty game development teams, and the company's employees have reached 3,000. You should know that the team of "Minecraft" alone has expanded to more than 100 people.

Of course, the most profitable games now, which are among the top download games on the Internet, are the ones that Andy Smith creative, which also makes Mockingbird's profits very dazzling, and it is one of the few game companies that can make profits and grow in the global financial crisis.

You should know that, such as EA, even though 31 works sold more than one million in the entire fiscal year last year, several more than five million, sales of more than four billion, and net losses reached one billion US dollars, which was simply a loss.

Well, ea is the world's second largest game developer after Activision Blizzard after all. It has a big publisher and a big business. However, ea, whose current market value is only US$6.2 billion, is so angry that it will be lost after vomiting for a long time. No wonder the rumors of being acquired are endless.

"Boss, it has been rumored in the industry that Apple is considering acquiring ea. Compared with the rumors that Apple has acquired Twitter, Apple, which is increasingly moving towards the gaming industry, seems more reasonable to acquire ea. According to the news I have obtained, Apple's cash stock has reached nearly $30 billion, while ea's market value is less than $7 billion. Apple definitely has this strength to buy ea to strengthen their Ai Crazy and AiPaide game platform."

Although his big boss had a great fight with Apple because of the Free City app application platform, this did not affect the good cooperation between Blair, who is the Mockingbird game company Ceo, and Apple. After all, one code is the same code. Although they are both bosses, they are two independent companies, each with their own heads. Many games of Mockingbird game company have made a lot of money with the hot sale of Ai Crazy and Ai filmed, and the cooperation was also very pleasant, so Blair and he cared about the news that Apple was going to acquire ea.

Hearing that Blair was obviously tempted and wanted to get some verification reports, Andy couldn't help but chuckled and shook his head. He naturally knew what Blair was worried about and said, "Haha, I haven't heard that Apple has the intention to acquire ea. This kind of news may be just a small way for ea to raise the stock price. Don't worry. Then again, even if Apple really acquires ea, what's going on? In mobile electronic equipment, who can steal our number one throne?"

After hearing the boss's replies, Blair felt relieved after knowing that the rumors were not reliable. After all, as a developer of Apple's mobile electronic equipment factory system, he didn't want to meet Apple's new son rival. Exclusive transactions are the most profitable.

Exclusive, it is indeed the most profitable.

But many people don't want to see it. Andy, who hung up the phone, was very upset about Apple's acquisition of Twitter. As a director of Apple, he naturally knew that this was not a rumor, but real news. It has been confirmed that Apple is holding a "serious attitude" negotiation with Twitter, which was suppressed by him. If the progress goes well, Apple and Twitter will officially announce the acquisition news on the opening day of the 2009 Global Developer Conference on June 8.

Moreover, it is not only Apple that likes Twitter, but also Facebook also wants to acquire Twitter, and it almost succeeds. If the founder of Twitter, Leo, might have been swallowed up by Xiao Mazi long ago.

The reason why Twitter suddenly became so popular was the key problem that the strong rise and Xunsu became popular. In addition, Andy's own two companies spared no effort to suppress Twitter, showing a strong attitude of dominating the market, which made Facebook's Little Mazi feel a potential huge threat. After all, Ins and Facebook have already overlapped many applications.

However, Facebook and Twitter finally broke down, and the deal was not reached. As for the reason, Andy wanted to laugh when he thought about it. There was no way. The thief Xiao Mazi wanted to use stocks that were overvalued twice as much as Facebook's valuation, and without spending a penny. Twitter, who was suppressed, was almost breathless, and the lion spoke out loudly, thinking about cash. One had no money and wanted to make money, and the other wanted to escape the shell. The talk finally broke down.

Now Apple is offering 700 million yuan in cash to acquire Twitter, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for Twitter’s founder and executives to refuse. The main purpose of Apple’s acquisition of Twitter is to enable Apple’s Ai Chuang smartphone users to use Twitter to communicate, and ultimately drive the sales of Ai Chuang app.

However, in Andy's view, this is Apple's obvious acquisition of whatsapp, which has become the dominant player in all smartphones. It also sees the advantages and development potential of the application of whatsapp, and wants to create an Apple-only application software.

You should know that Apple has always been growing up by eating alone. Apple is not willing to fully open up network standards to the outside world, but tends to be completely open. Because the two software applications are very popular among smartphone users around the world, they cannot be dissatisfied with it, reducing the user's service experience, which makes Apple unhappy.

If Apple's acquisition is successful, Andy can imagine that although Apple will not blatantly not support it, it will definitely make small moves to limit the operation of the Ai Chuang app and promote new Twitter.

This situation is something Andy can foresee. There is no way. Apple, which has always liked to eat alone and is extremely powerful, is just this. As for whether they care about the face of Andy, a member of the board of directors, hehe, I don’t know at all!

Andy joined Apple's board of directors. From the beginning, Jobs restricted Andy from making trouble in the secondary market and tossed Apple's stock price in order to acquire this foreign common stock Shark.

This concern cannot shake Apple's overall interests and strategic planning. Therefore, from beginning to end, Andy did not regard himself as an Apple-based person. He knew very well that there was an irreconcilable huge conflict between him and Apple. Sooner or later, he would face each other again and become an opponent.

There is no way, strength, it really does not allow Andy to be low-key. When a person is in different positions, he will have different positions, which determines that he will have different ideas. To put it bluntly, pg determines his head.
