Chapter 113: Venture Capital
"Ahem, there's no need to be so excited, it's just a few investment banks."
Looking at the excited faces of everyone in the company, Su Yan said helplessly that in this era, the common understanding of the domestic Internet is that only companies favored by foreign investment banks are the leading Internet companies in the country.
"Mr. Su, here today are Lehman Brothers, **** and Microsoft from the United States!"
Zhou Hongyi said with a flushed face that it was hard to imagine that a technical otaku would have such a side, but Su Yan also understood that for programmers, Microsoft was really awesome.
If Zhou Hongyi looked calm, he would feel strange.
At the appointed time, the door to the conference room was pushed open. Su Yan saw the first people he wanted to meet today. The Microsoft delegation was four men and one woman. The leader was a man in his forties, with typical blond hair and blue eyes.
They have Western appearances. As for the other four people accompanying him, three of them have Asian faces. The woman is obviously Chinese and serves as the translator.
Dave looked at the Shenxiu executives in the conference room and finally looked at Su Yan who was sitting there. This was his first meeting with Su Yan. Before coming, he said that he had no idea about the game in front of him that single-handedly changed the world game pattern.
He originally had all kinds of guesses, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, he couldn't imagine that this man who looked to be a few years older than his son could actually create such a large business empire.
Yes, in Dave's view, Shenxiu Technology now has the prototype of an empire. As long as there are no huge decision-making mistakes in its development path, it will sooner or later become a behemoth in the world's gaming industry.
"Hello, Su. I'm Dave, the head of Microsoft's investment department. Nice to meet you." Dave took the lead and extended his hand to Su Yan.
The translator on the side was preparing to translate.
“Welcome everyone from Microsoft to Shenxiu Technology.”
Su Yan's fluent English immediately stunned the translator.
After everyone on both sides sat down, Dave looked at Su Yan, Xia He and others and said with a smile: "Xia, long time no see. Before coming here, Bill and President Ballmer expressed regret for your departure, but obviously they
Wrong, I really want to know what their expressions will be like when they know you are at Shenxiu Technology."
Although I know Dave is being polite, after all, for a behemoth like Microsoft, as long as the people who leave are not core management, there will be multiple times as many people applying for the same position every minute as many people leave in other positions. This is not natural.
Big but confident.
But Xia He still smiled in a friendly manner.
"Su, Microsoft is a very inclusive company. We are pursuing win-win cooperation all over the world!"
Dave looked at Su Yan and suddenly said.
Su Yan:......
If Su Yan hadn't been paying attention to the news, he would have let this guy fool him. You know, the browser dispute between Microsoft and Netscape was so intense that it got him involved in an antitrust investigation. Last month, Bill Gates even
He personally appeared in court to defend Microsoft. If it hadn't been for the final compromise, Microsoft might have been broken up by the North American Federal Court.
In the browser dispute with Netscape, Microsoft eventually caused a backlash because of its tough policies in expansion.
After Microsoft system bundled the IE browser, it aroused the fear of countless technology companies. In the end, although it won the market in the competition with Netscape, it also ushered in an investigation by the federal court.
Microsoft has also reflected on its development behavior. It can be said that it was this antitrust investigation that made Microsoft begin to change its development strategy.
Looking at Su Yan's eyes, Dave also blushed a little. After coughing, Dave looked at Su Yan and said: "Su, we at Microsoft are very optimistic about the development of the GG game platform. We believe that in the future, the GG game platform will become
The best gaming platform in the world!”
Listening to Dave's words, Su Yan probably guessed the purpose of his trip.
Ever since Microsoft began to enter the console market, it can be said that it has not been very good. If it were not supported by huge funds, it would have been beaten by other console manufacturers.
Compared with Sony and Nintendo, which have always been entrenched in the console market, Microsoft can only be regarded as a younger brother in the game console field.
Because there is no technical advantage, Microsoft can only rely on huge funds to continuously subsidize and rely on subsidies to occupy the market. Although the tactics are indeed effective, Microsoft's XBOX console has seized a certain market, but behind it is the Microsoft Hardware Industry Department within a year.
Billions of dollars lost.
"So Su, we hope to cooperate with Shenxiu Technology to transplant the GG game platform to our console!"
Hearing Dave's words, Su Yan knew that the other party valued not only the GG game platform, but also the GG game platform users around the world!
"In this regard, we are willing to spend 500 million US dollars to acquire 51% of the shares of GG Game Platform. Of course, we guarantee that we will not interfere with the operation of GG Platform!"
After speaking, Dave looked at Su Yan, waiting for his answer.
"Sorry, I cannot accept such cooperation!"
Su Yan said calmly, are you joking that five hundred million U.S. dollars is a lot? It is indeed a lot, but Su Yan believes that five hundred million U.S. dollars will buy 51% of the shares of the GG game platform. Unless he has a brain problem, he will agree to future games.
It’s not like he doesn’t know how huge the market is.
Su Yan can guarantee that if he sells it now, he will definitely regret it later.
"Is Su always dissatisfied with the price we offered? If not, I can communicate with the headquarters."
After hearing Su Yan's words, Dave frowned at first and then returned to normal. After thinking for a while, Dave looked at Su Yan and said.
For Microsoft's consoles, the global users of the GG game platform really make them quite envious. According to their internal analysis before coming here, once they can win the GG game platform, Microsoft will definitely have the opportunity to suppress other consoles in the console market in the future.
Manufacturer!
"Our game platform can be used on Microsoft's consoles, but acquisitions are still exempted."
Su Yan waved his hand and said.
Hearing Su Yan's words, Dave was obviously a little stunned, and then he reacted.
"I can't make the decision on this matter. I need to talk to the headquarters."
"Can."
Then Dave turned and left.
Half an hour later, Dave re-entered the meeting room, "Su, I have already communicated with the board of directors. Unfortunately, if we cannot purchase shares of GG Game Platform, we will not cooperate. Bill respects you.
He hopes that no matter what the outcome of this matter is, it will not affect the future cooperation between Shenxiu Technology and Microsoft!"
"Please also tell me that this will not affect our future cooperation."
Su Yan roughly guessed about Microsoft's meeting. They will not allow factors beyond their control to appear in their consoles. If they cannot control more than half of the shares of the GG game platform, if something happens in the future, then Microsoft will be equivalent to
He left a huge flaw in himself.
After sending away Microsoft, Su Yan met with people from **** and Lehman Brothers respectively. Each of them had a bigger appetite than the other. Even Lehman Brothers directly proposed to acquire Shenxiu Technology, but Su Yan was too lazy to do so.
Chapter completed!
