Chapter 296 Mr. Shen! Hard! (Additional update for the leader of the dead king Huxi)
Speaking of which!
Even Sarah—a vice-chairman who doesn’t understand games at all, or even the game industry—couldn’t help but be moved by the crazy profits.
Nearly 10 billion in two years.
Such a terrifying profit is even worth their desperate risk!
Besides.
Merging and acquiring a medium-sized game company in China will not take much risk.
but……
"Are you sure?"
asked the lady Sarah.
"hehe,"
Then Cornick smiled slightly:
"As we all know, Golden Wind is now preparing an FPS masterpiece called "OverWatch","
"As long as we can convince them to launch a listing, accept investment, and formally integrate with international standards,"
"Then I have 100% confidence that the acquisition of them will never fail."
This is not just empty talk from Cornick.
As long as Goldwind dares to go public, it will be easy to win over Goldwind with the backing of the wealthy Yunwei-Vivendi Company.
What?
Is there also Shen Capital, China’s top consortium, behind the golden wind?
So what?
Do you think Prestige, a huge conglomerate across Europe and the United States, is just doing nothing?
As long as the income is greater than the investment cost, it doesn’t matter whether you are Shen Capital, Zhang Capital or Li Capital, no one can stop us!
Speaking of this, Sarah nodded:
"Okay... then..."
"If they insist not to go public, how should we respond?"
good.
You know, whether it's Cornick's confidence or his plan.
All of this has a premise -
That is the listing of Golden Wind and the release of equity!
Because only in this way can Yunwei-Vivendi successfully acquire Golden Wind through the acquisition of equity.
But the question is, what if Golden Wind is really determined not to go public?
"Then we will force them to go public,"
Cornick raised his eyebrows slightly:
"or……"
…
"Direct acquisition."
on Monday!
It's just the third week of the "Golden Bull Challenge" being successfully held!
Charles Pétain, who came all the way from the United States, led a "cooperation team" of up to seven people and arrived at Binjiang, China, and came to the Golden Wind.
Before getting off the bus and entering Golden Wind Company!
Charlie Petain, who is leading the team this time, as Cornick's right-hand man and the vice president of Yunwei Group, gave this instruction to his team.
And them!
That's what Gu Sheng said - trouble.
As early as last week, a business call from Yunwei made Gu Sheng feel that something was wrong.
The first time he heard the name Vivendi was three years ago. At that time, he had just traveled through time and was still in the stage of understanding the game industry model and related companies in this world.
Gu Sheng still remembered that when he heard this name, he trembled and secretly thought something was wrong.
Vivendi, Vivendi.
Thinking back to that time, in his previous life before he traveled back in time, this company was notorious in the gaming circle.
The most sensational case was the hostile takeover suffered by his old club, Ubisoft.
But in the end, with the efforts of all players and Penguin's intervention, Ayu finally survived the hostile takeover and regained its autonomy.
Now, the call about Yunwei-Vivendi's "business cooperation" only made Gu Sheng feel terrified.
And after he checked the information, he found that the chairman and CEO of Yunwei actually called Kaunik the fucking dog.
This bad feeling reached its peak in an instant.
The infamous Vivendi + top bastard Cornick.
Tsk tsk.
Even Gu Sheng couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
No wonder Yunwei-Vivendi can become the world's leading "successful" game super company.
If these two things are put together, nothing can be done.
If any company falls into their hands, I'm afraid it will become the 30 series graphics card of the "mining era", which will be terrible.
However, although Gu Sheng had expressed his unwillingness to accept any form of investment sponsorship on the phone, Yunwei was so shameless that he insisted on 'talking about cooperation' in the name of 'friendly exchanges and inspections'.
Helpless, Gu Sheng had no choice but to reluctantly accept the other party's request and 'welcome' Yunwei Vivendi to come for 'inspection' on behalf of Golden Wind.
"...I have heard the name of President Pei Dang for a long time. I am Gu Sheng, and this is our president, Ms. Shen Miaomiao."
Early in the morning, Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao came to the door of the company to greet the Yunwei team.
"Hello Mr. Gu, hello Ms. Shen,"
Seeing this, Petain stretched out his hand and gently shook Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao's hands, smiling slightly but not smiling:
"Then show us."
As soon as this statement came out.
Gu Sheng couldn't help but frown secretly.
What is the occasion?
Business inspection and cooperation negotiation.
When working, you should address your job title.
Although this statement may sound like a joke now, there is no doubt that it applies to everyone.
Especially when the two parties meet for the first time.
Moreover, Mr. Pétain, who looks slender and delicate, like a little stick, seems unwilling to use too many honorifics.
He started by saying, "Show us."
That casual attitude and tone really made people feel a little uncomfortable.
Gu Sheng didn't think he was a naturally rude guy.
Otherwise, you can find the chairman of the board of directors of Vivendi and see if he still has this attitude?
From the very beginning, this person despises them.
Gu Sheng frowned secretly and turned to Xiao Nezha.
He wanted little Nezha to return to the office.
Since you are so disrespectful, there is no need for us to be polite to you.
Our president has other things to do and doesn't have time to hang out with your tour group. I, the vice president, can handle you all the best.
However, before he can speak!
Just listen to the little Nezha beside you say:
"Mr. Gu, please take them around for a while, sit in the leisure area or something, and feel the atmosphere of our golden style,"
"I still have a small meeting. Let's discuss it in detail in the conference room in twenty minutes."
Say it.
Shen Miaomiao raised her lips and made a smiley expression, then turned around and walked away!
OHHHHHHH——!!!
Gu Sheng exclaimed in his heart and called frantically.
Mr. Shen! Hard!
But think about it, what kind of family does he come from, and who is Shen Wanlin?
Is this a wealthy lady who came from this kind of family education and is so jealous of you?
Since I don't want to show my face, there is no need to be polite to you.
Shen Miaomiao deliberately said what she just said in English!
The purpose is to make this little Pedang understand every word!
as expected!
Seeing Shen Miaomiao leaving without saying a word, Petain's face turned dark at that moment!
"Ms. Shen... is busy with official duties? We are honored to be able to greet you at the door despite your busy schedule."
Petain looked a little confused and wanted to make amends.
Unexpectedly, Gu Sheng was such a good person, he waved his hand and smiled:
"Haha, it's just a small meeting at the head office. Please come with me."
What the fuck...
It's okay if Gu Sheng doesn't last any last hits.
When the knife struck, there was a pop, and Petain's face turned even darker.
regular meeting?
Damn it, just because of a small regular meeting, our business negotiation team, which came all the way from the United States and was affiliated with Yunwei-Vivendi, the largest comprehensive game manufacturer in the world, was kicked out?
Petain's Adam's apple moved up and down.
Apparently he swallowed with great difficulty.
Just as Gu Sheng said.
From the bottom of his heart, he despised the Golden Wind.
Yes, you are in the limelight now, but so what?
Thinking back then, which of the manufacturers we acquired was not very prosperous for a while?
In other words.
The companies that we like and decide to acquire are all leaders in their fields and even in their era!
A medium-sized game company that started from scratch in just three years.
To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the fact that the golden wind is now so powerful, it has too much momentum.
With their small size, Yunwei-Weiwangdi wouldn't even look at them.
Pétain indeed had the capital to set his sights high.
But without thinking, Shen Miaomiao directly gave him a soft nail.
Although Pétain kept his tone secretly, he was secretly angry.
See if you are acquired later, you will still look like this.
Thinking!
Under the leadership of Gu Sheng, the group also circled around the Golden Wind Company.
When walking to the [Golden Experience Project Department], Petain couldn't help but stop:
"Mr. Gu, why don't you invite us in to see your working environment?"
Petain is quite curious about the "Overwatch" project that Golden Wind is currently working on.
If you take one more look, you might be able to learn more about their current progress and increase bargaining chips for future negotiations.
Pétain volunteered to visit.
Generally speaking, a game company like Golden Wind would not refuse such a request from Yunwei, who is the vice president of the company.
To be more precise, I won't refute his face.
"No,"
Unexpectedly, Gu Sheng didn't give him any face at all, he just smiled as he should:
"The development process is confidential. Can Mr. Pétain understand that?"
…
"I don't understand,"
In the conference room, Pétain’s face almost turned eggplant color:
"We at Yunwei alone are willing to invest 180 million U.S. dollars, plus another 300 million U.S. dollars from Vivendi Ventures,"
"The investment of nearly 500 million yuan, which far exceeds the total value of your company, only accounts for 23% of the equity,"
"Such conditions...is it really worth hesitating?"
Petain didn't understand.
I don’t fucking understand!
Five hundred million dollars! Nearly 3.5 billion yuan!
After that, you don’t have to worry about the entire listing procedures and process at all. You just need to go to Nasdaq and ring the bell!
But such generous conditions only require you to nod and agree to the listing, and agree that Yunwei-Vivendi United Company will be a shareholder and hold 23% of the equity!
Three and a half billion!
What is the market value of your company?
Pétain knew very well that generally speaking, a company's disposable liquid assets account for 30%-40% of the company's total assets.
Not long ago, Golden Wind successfully promoted itself to a medium-sized game company with disposable assets exceeding 1 billion yuan.
In other words, today, their company's total assets are estimated to be around 2.5-3 billion.
In one wave of investment, we only need 23% of your equity, but we will give you a full investment of 3.5 billion!
What else do you want?
Pétain's face was ashen, even a little purple.
This is enough to create another golden wind!
Then you make it, what do you want us to do?
Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao looked as usual, even smiling.
The two looked at each other and saw Gu Sheng smiled:
"Mr. Pétain, this condition is indeed not worth hesitating about."
Upon hearing this, Petain's eyes lit up, and a glimmer of hope seemed to ignite in his pupils.
"Because we have stated from the beginning that the company will not be listed."
Tsk!
A basin of ice water turned Petain into a drowned rat.
Shen Miaomiao waved the shovel and covered two handfuls of soil:
"We accept your company's wishes, but this is not a matter of money."
Hear the words.
The two sides were silent for a moment, and exchanged glances with the accompanying personnel:
"So...what if we think differently?"
"oh?"
Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly:
"What does Monsieur Pétain mean?"
"Eight hundred million?"
Petain said:
"With $800 million, we will launch an in-depth cooperation. We will be responsible for providing more favorable conditions including IP operation, follow-up development capital investment, personnel recruitment and expansion, etc."
Wow.
Gu Sheng couldn't help but marvel at this grandson's mouth.
That's really nice to say.
IP operation, capital investment, personnel recruitment.
What a beautiful word.
But Gu Sheng could just read the words "IP plundering", "interfering with development" and "personnel reorganization" between the words!
Damn it, you're going to be tough when you see that we can't talk, right?
You are really wealthy and ready to buy our company directly, right?
In fact, theoretically speaking, Yunwei-Vivendi can really buy their Golden Wind in this way.
Because according to Chinese laws and regulations: subsidiaries have independent legal personality. When the subsidiary's equity is transferred, a resolution of the parent company's shareholders' meeting is not required. As long as it complies with legal regulations and the company's articles of association, the equity can be transferred.
Yunwei obviously also understood this, so he raised the price so unscrupulously and was prepared to directly use the money to knock them down.
Shen Miaomiao felt speechless.
Eight hundred million dollars is certainly tempting, but in that case, all the company's decision-making power will be taken away by Yunwei.
Don't say Lao Gu can't be the manager.
In future projects, even her, the so-called ‘president’, will succumb to the will of Yunwei Group.
"laugh--"
Shen Miaomiao really didn't know what to say and she sneered in a somewhat dumbfounded way:
"Mr. Petain, I said, this is not about money..."
"Nine billion knives!"
Before Shen Miaomiao could finish speaking, Beidang interrupted her and raised his eyebrows pointedly:
"Ninety million, Ms. Shen, it's not easy to be a female CEO."
Shen Miaomiao was stunned.
Then, the smile on his face gradually sank: "Mr. Petain, let me reiterate it again..."
"One billion!"
Shen Miaomiao was not given a chance to finish her words again!
Petain spoke again!
But this time, the smile on Petain's face slowly disappeared, and he slowly said with "serious words":
"Ms. Shen, Mr. Gu, I hope you two will think about it carefully."
"A medium-sized game company, a billion dollars, a total acquisition price of more than 7 billion yuan,"
"Don't just look at China, even if you look at the world, it's unprecedented,"
"The reason why we at Yunwei-Vivendi are like this is because we admire your company's creativity and are optimistic about your company's development potential."
"You two..."
Speaking of which.
Petain hugged his shoulders and finally stopped pretending. He raised his head slightly and looked condescendingly at Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao opposite:
"The golden wind is very good, but it is still too weak after all,"
"especially……"
"In front of a joint company of the level of Yunwei-Vivendi."
silence.
A long silence.
a long time!
Gu Sheng, who was opposite him, took a deep breath, then sighed softly and shook his head, feeling helpless.
It looks like it is a blessing rather than a curse.
Shen Miaomiao, on the other hand, slightly raised the corners of her mouth with a warm look.
Even in simple clothes, Pétain put on a smile again: "Ms. Shen has figured it out..."
But this time!
Before he could finish speaking!
Shen Miaomiao lightly opened her thin lips, smiled, and breathed out fragrance:
