Chapter 182 Investment is implemented and the competition escalates!
"How many shares do you want?"
After talking to this point, Zeng Qun finally stopped hiding.
"If possible, of course, the more the better, there is no need to worry about funds. Moreover, Suiya promises not to reduce its shareholding in the new company within ten years. At the same time, we will act in concert with Mr. Zeng, and Suiya will not be involved in the new company again in the future."
Domestic investment in other lithium battery industries." Zhang Shuo gave many promises.
Sincerity is not lacking either.
"Then how about investing 350 million yuan to acquire 35% of the new company's shares?" Zeng Qun was also completely moved by Zhang Shuo's sincerity. Before coming, the highest expectation he gave was 25% of the shares.
It went up a bit further.
"no problem!"
Zhang Shuo is also very excited, this has exceeded his previous expectations.
On the surface, Linde New Energy's original valuation reached one billion, which is a bit scary.
actually not.
As the founder, Zeng Qun and his team must occupy shares through technical management.
New companies do not need that much capital at the beginning.
And even if it is valued at one billion, the market value of Linde New Energy in 2021 will reach one trillion. If you enter the market now, you will get a thousand-fold return within ten years.
How crazy is this?
Not to mention the spillover effect on the subsequent budding car manufacturing after investing in Linde New Energy.
…………
For the next two days, Zhang Shuo still stayed in Xiangjiang.
Together with investment manager Luo Changan, legal department manager Wu Xian, and financial department manager Han Mei, who came over from Binhai City, they finalized a specific investment contract with Zeng Qun.
At this point, things are truly settled.
And when signing the contract.
Zhang Shuo also secured priority for Linde New Energy’s follow-up financing to ensure that the 35% stake he currently holds will not be gradually diluted in multiple rounds of financing.
Even acquiring more shares in the future is not ruled out.
…………
Wednesday, April 13th.
As soon as Zhang Shuo returned to the company, Cao Yanhua and Liu Xiaohui blocked the door.
"Anything new?"
Zhang Shuo invited the two of them to sit down on the sofa. He was in a good mood because he successfully won Linde New Energy.
"Is such that."
Cao Yanhua reported: "The negative public opinion against us on the Internet has basically been controlled, and the anti-addiction system will be officially launched this Friday."
"That's great."
"But now there is a new situation. Two days ago, two of the three game studios we intended to acquire in Jingshi suddenly changed their minds before signing the contract." Liu Xiaohui looked depressed.
"Is someone causing trouble?"
This was Zhang Shuo's subconscious thought.
With Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment's current popularity, many game studios are eager to be favored by Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment.
"Tengda intervened."
Liu Xiaohui gritted his teeth, "Tengda directly quoted twice the purchase price. This is malicious competition!"
"That's it."
Zhang Shuo raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Is Tengda finally unable to sit still?"
"I guess I'm really impatient."
Cao Yanhua reported another situation: "In the past week, game planners from the five major studios have resigned. After asking around, they were all written by Tenda."
"Serial set." Zhang Shuo smiled.
"I think there may be some misunderstanding on the part of Tenda." Cao Yanhua looked strange, "They may think that the games developed by the five major game studios are all planned by themselves."
Even within Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, except for the earliest batch of old employees and a few game studio directors, the people below actually don’t know much about Zhang Shuo’s role.
They all thought that these ideas were all thought up by their respective bosses.
How could outsiders know that there is a monster like Zhang Shuo behind Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment? All those wonderful and desperate business plans were all done by Zhang Shuo.
"Then what are you going to do?" Zhang Shuo asked with a smile.
This kind of mistake at the moment reflects the benefit of his low profile before. If he had publicized it everywhere before, then the secret of Jade Bird Mutual Entertainment would not have been kept hidden until now.
"If you want to stay as an employee who was poached, you have to sign a non-competition agreement and raise your salary. The latter will definitely not work. When Tenda recruits people, they promise double or even triple salary. So, my
The suggestion is to sign non-competition agreements with all key employees as soon as possible. If Tenda dares to poach people, it will directly go to court."
Although it was a mistake, Cao Yanhua didn't want to be tortured like this by Tengda.
"Is the price too high?" Zhang Shuo hesitated.
It is good that a non-competition agreement is very effective, but it is not without limitations.
First, the company cannot sign non-competition agreements with all employees.
According to legal provisions, persons subject to non-competition restrictions are limited to senior managers, senior technical personnel of the employing unit and other personnel with confidentiality obligations.
Secondly, rights and obligations are equal, and signing a non-competition contract is not free.
After signing.
If the employee complies with the requirements of the agreement during his employment, the company will need to pay non-competition compensation to the departing employee after the employee leaves the company.
Signing an agreement with all employees will increase the burden on the company.
"There is definitely a cost, but it is already the lowest-cost approach." Cao Yanhua explained.
"That's okay."
Zhang Shuo didn't insist anymore, "Just one thing, we can wait for a month before signing. With the help of Tenda, we can clean up the unstable factors inside the game studio and add some materials to Tenda."
"clear!"
Cao Yanhua is also a human being, so naturally he can tell the truth at once.
Poaching people with high salary is indeed the only magic weapon during the period of rapid expansion of enterprises, but it is not without its drawbacks.
First thing.
Raising salaries by two or three times to recruit people will lead to internal conflicts within the team, and the mentality of old employees will be unbalanced. Employees who have switched jobs have their salaries increased several times. What should the old employees do?
Especially something like Tenda.
Because they have been established for a long time, major game studios are inherently complex and full of interest factions. The influx of a large number of new people will further intensify the internal friction within the team.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This may not be a good thing.
If the people Tenda worked so hard to poach are really the "creative geniuses" they imagined, then it can barely be explained, and the new group can be slowly integrated over time.
But in fact.
What Tenda poached was just a group of executors, who were "parallel imports".
After these people join Tengda and their true colors are revealed, Zhang Shuo is really looking forward to seeing how wonderful Renyu's expression will be then.
It should be interesting.
After the discussion was completed, Cao Yanhua left first, leaving Liu Xiaohui alone.
Although it was originally planned to acquire four game studios, two were eliminated due to Tenda's intervention, but the other two still abided by the spirit of the contract and joined Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment as promised.
So far.
Fire Phoenix Studio was naturally promoted to a studio group.
Liu Xiaohui eagerly came to Binhai City this time, not only to report the situation, but also to take the opportunity to ask Zhang Shuo for new game plans.
"It has been prepared for you a long time ago."
Zhang Shuo did not break his promise and gave Liu Xiaohui two game plans.
The first one is "Hang Up Every Day".
This is the world's first idle RPG game, interpreting the classic with idle gameplay.
From the moment a player creates a character, he will automatically fight monsters, gain experience and gold coins, and drop equipment. This will not stop even if he exits the game.
Return to the game at any time and you can gain a bunch of experience, gold coins and equipment.
All the players have to do is to choose the best equipment to put on the game characters and mercenaries, constantly challenge the BOSS and other players, and finally reach the peak of strength and marry Bai Fumei.
As the laziest game in history, "Tiantianhanghang" is based on World of Warcraft in order to enrich the gameplay. It has a copy of the mysterious adventure, a familiar BOSS, and stunning equipment throughout the server to find the original happiness.
Since Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment has obtained relevant authorization from Blizzard, its development and production does not involve infringement.
It’s not that amazing, but it’s definitely a solid mobile game, and it’s just right for the newly acquired game studio to practice and weigh in on their strengths.
The second one is "Let Go of the Three Kingdoms".
This is also a card game, and the original space and time was officially released for public beta on September 19, 2014.
The game is based on "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and tells the story of the chaotic times of the Three Kingdoms. Players play the role of the protagonist and recruit various famous generals to realize the dream of unifying the Three Kingdoms.
As a card game, it has combat training elements such as pets, destiny, and fighting spirits, and also introduces PVP gameplay such as competition fields, arenas, city battles, and arena battles.
In particular, the card design adopts the Q-version cute style, which is easy to make people’s eyes shine.
In the original space and time, "Release the Three Kingdoms" only hit the 4th place on the IOS bestseller list just one week after its launch, once again demonstrating the strength of mobile card games.
Only one month after it was launched, the monthly revenue exceeded 60 million.
As we all know, domestic Three Kingdoms products have been rampant for a long time. The products produced by a large number of teams working on Three Kingdoms lack quality, innovation and maturity, and are generally considered by the industry to have limited absorption capacity.
The fact that "Let Go of the Three Kingdoms" was able to break through the siege shows its strength.
Another point that has to be said is that the reason why "Three Kingdoms Unleashed" can create such a high turnover is that it draws on the practice of web games in its operation, which is to open new servers like crazy.
No wonder Yuan Kong is nicknamed by players as "Let go of the first rush".
"Mr. Zhang, why are there only two portions of this?" Liu Xiaohui has a big appetite.
"Two game studios, of course, two copies, not counting the ones that are outdated." Zhang Shuo does still have some inventory, but he is not ready to release it all.
Landlords also have to save some surplus food, and they can’t have it all drained away.
"All right!"
Liu Xiaohui was very frustrated. If he hadn't made a breakthrough halfway through, the Fire Phoenix Game Studio he was in charge of would have had a chance to overtake in a corner.
Unexpectedly, I still fell behind.
"After returning to the capital, you can continue to screen other studios, and don't stop the acquisition work, even if it's just a pretense." Zhang Shuo nodded to Liu Xiaohui.
"I understand, it's just to lay some ground for Tengda. Don't worry, leave it to me!"
After being severely tricked by Tengda, Liu Xiaohui was full of resentment and planned to put on a good show in the capital to teach Tengda a lesson.
It's easy to get rid of the bad breath in my chest.
