PPF (company)

PPF is a privately held international financial group. It operates in the area of consumer financing, retail banking and insurance. It develops its activities in many countries. Its headquarters is located in the Netherlands. The largest shareholder of PPF is Petr Kellner (98,94%).

History

The history of PPF dates back to the early 1990s. After the Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia the government led by Marián Čalfa decided to gradually privatize state-owned companies. The legal framework was set by Act No. 92/1991 enacted on 26 February 1991. One of the agreed privatization methods was voucher privatization. Czechoslovak citizens who decided to take part in the voucher privatization had two options, either bid for shares in the privatized companies by themselves or exchange in advance their vouchers for shares in privatization funds, whose managers would make the investment decisions by themselves.

In September 1991 Teplice-based company Správa prvního privatizačního fondu (literally Management of the First Privatization Fund) was founded, its registered capital was only CSK 0.1 million (USD 3.3 thousand).Petr Kellner became its chairman, other board members were managing director Milan Vinkler and Petr Joudal. All of them were already entrepreneurs. In February 1991 Kellner founded company ANO with Joudal and company WIKA with Vinkler.

Puyo Puyo Fever 2

Puyo Puyo Fever 2 (ぷよぷよフィーバーチュー!, Puyopuyo Fībā Chū!) is a 2005 video game developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega. The game was released as a sequel to the previous title, Puyo Pop Fever, but is also seen as the sixth game of the entire Puyo Puyo series as the next game is titled Puyo Puyo 7. The gameplay remains relatively unchanged, but several new modes are introduced. The game features nine different plots, each one pertaining to its three protagonists.

Puyo Puyo Fever 2 was released exclusively in Japan for the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable on November 24, 2005, and later for the Nintendo DS on December 24 of that same year.

Gameplay

Unlike Puyo Pop Fever, which uses a simple menu, Puyo Puyo Fever 2 uses a map system to let the player navigate the game's menus. The map system is also reused in the nine courses to show the supposed path of the player's character. Several buildings are available around the map area, known as Primp Town, which was the setting of the previous game. These buildings include a tower for endless modes, a shop to buy items, a town hall to change options and save, a museum for viewing unlocked media and a playground for multiplayer games. You can also explore these areas and talk to the respective characters, where they may distribute items. Items can be used in each course.
