"The rejection was just because Tengda couldn't give me the price I wanted. What about this time? I'm quite curious about the price Tengda offered..." Zhou Dongsheng asked with interest.
After all, we are fellow countrymen. We had dinner together at Wuzhen Dinner last time. There will definitely be many opportunities to deal with Tengda in the future...
Of course, these are all Zhou Dongsheng's thoughts to put money on his face, but his curiosity about the price is indeed genuine.
"The appeal of Tenda's investment department is to take over all of our shares, and the price they gave is quite reasonable, valuing PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds at more than 1 billion..."
Zhou Dongsheng's calm demeanor further deepened the image of an "investment genius" in Lu Sifang's mind, and he couldn't help but admire him.
"RMB?" Zhou Dongsheng asked casually.
"Well, yes..." Lu Sifang was shocked. What the boss meant was... the value of this game is more than 1 billion U.S. dollars? That's nearly 7 billion yuan in value.
Even Tengda Investment Department, which has spent a lot of money in the past few years and made tens of billions of foreign investments and acquisitions, would definitely not give such a high valuation.
After all, no matter how rich Tenda is, he will never choose to be taken advantage of...
Being willing to give a valuation of 1 billion only means that this game is in the hands of Tenda, and Tenda is confident that it can generate more revenue from this game.
After all, Tenda is definitely among the best when it comes to game operations and profitability, not to mention having no rivals domestically, even if you look internationally.
"Forget it, maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future, so please decline it." Zhou Dongsheng said in a very relaxed tone.
The current "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" has just completed the road of public beta, and can only be regarded as a budding stage. The low valuation given by Tenda is within the understanding range.
After all, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds was established less than a year ago. Apart from the support of a large company like Pig Factory, it is just an ordinary game company in every aspect.
On the one hand, this valuation is based on the gorgeous public beta data. On the other hand, it may also have a contribution from the pig factory. Of course, it is mostly based on market feedback.
Perhaps in the eyes of Tenda's investment department, this price is already very fair. An investment of tens of millions in less than a year can directly cash out hundreds of millions in cash, realize dozens of times the profit, and walk away...
No matter how you look at it, it is a win-win deal, and it can add another glorious record to the record book of Zhou Dongsheng, the "investment genius." Isn't it a double blessing?
However, in Zhou Dongsheng's view, even if we do not consider the potential and premium of the future "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" game, this price is still slightly low.
After all, the last game "Blade and Soul" that had millions of players online at the same time in China was represented by Tenda, and the agency fee was as high as US$50 million!
This is just the agency fee, not to mention other things, even if the fledgling "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" cannot be compared with the famous "Sword and Soul" with a famous teacher...
But if this price is realized, it is still a low-price sale, not to mention that Zhou Dongsheng is very clear about the future value of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds"...
If it were realized now, Zhou Dongsheng would be able to "leave his name in history", but his reputation would obviously be on par with Mr. Li's.
Compared with the drama about discerning pearls with a keen eye, the general public would obviously prefer the story about being blind to gold and jade, and the latter is far more topical than the former.
"Okay boss!" Lu Sifang responded energetically, and he couldn't help but be full of expectations for the future. Although he was unable to become an investment genius with outstanding talents in the investment industry...
However, it seems to be a good choice to follow an investment genius like your boss and follow the example of a dog and horse. At least you can also experience thousands of wonderful things.
For example, I did this twice by myself, not to mention rejecting Tenda’s investment department. Not to mention it was pretty cool, hehe.
…………
In Zhou Dongsheng's view, this is just a trivial episode, and it will be over with a casual explanation. Next, we only need to look forward to how much revenue "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" will create when it is officially launched.
However, the pig factory apparently got the wind somewhere and learned that Tenda Investment Department was preparing to poach employees.
When Wang Yi from the pig factory received the news, he couldn't sit still at the time. If Tengda really took advantage of this, wouldn't their pig factory make wedding dresses for others?
What if Zhou Dongsheng, a young man, couldn't handle the olive branch offered by Tengda? Since the matter was so important, Wang Yi did not hesitate at all and reported it directly to Ding Sanshi.
After all, it was Mr. Ding who made the final decision to support Zhou Dongsheng, a young man. It was obvious that Mr. Ding had to be consulted on how to take action.
After receiving Wang Yi's call, Ding Sanshi laughed heartily and said, "Don't worry, this guy is very smart. He is just a master who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't let go of eagles. How can he let go of a stall that has finally been established?"
After some contact with the young man Zhou Dongsheng, Ding Sanshi believed that he was quite accurate in judging people, and believed that the young man Zhou Dongsheng was not so short-sighted.
What's more, even if you want to realize the shares in your hands, the best way is to raise the price from the ground up, drag the Pig Factory into the water, and let the two major game companies, Goose Factory and Pig Factory, compete together, which will inevitably raise the price...
Instead of selling directly to Tenda unilaterally, what are you trying to do? For fellow countrymen?
Unless Lao Ma is willing to offer an irresistible price, but based on Ding Sanshi's understanding of him, this idea can basically be ruled out.
Therefore, Ding Sanshi sat firmly on the Diaoyutai without any panic in his heart.
What's more, even if it is true, so what? For Ding Sanshi, there is no loss. At most, it can only be regarded as a mistake.
"Mr. Ding, what do you think we are going to do?" Wang Yi was determined. Since he had already spoken, he simply wanted to test Mr. Ding's tone so that he could adapt to the situation and take the next step.
"This is a big gift from Tengda. We have no reason not to accept it, so let's make it more publicized." Ding Sanshi laughed and said particularly happily.
Wang Yi's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood what Ding Sanshi meant, and couldn't help but blurt out, "Thank you, Mr. Ding!"
Ding Sanshi smiled and said nothing, then hung up the phone.
"I didn't expect that this kid is quite capable of tossing, and he can name every trouble he does. It's really interesting." Ding Sanshi thought happily.
It seemed that his repeated efforts to add fuel to the flames were not in vain. Ding Sanshi couldn't help but look forward to whether this young man he was optimistic about would create any unexpected surprises.
After all, youth is the greatest asset for young people. Ding Sanshi couldn't help but sighed, but then he didn't take it to heart and turned to busy with his own affairs.
As for Pig Factory Games, after receiving Ding Sanshi's "oral instruction", Wang Yi was naturally not careless at all. He immediately mobilized Pig Factory's external publicity resources and began to spread the news.
"Shocked! Even Tenda couldn't sit still for this open beta game, and spent huge sums of money to acquire it but failed!"
"The talks collapsed! This game categorically rejected Tenda's acquisition, just because..."
News like this suddenly flooded every corner of the Internet, which undoubtedly added fuel to the fire of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", which was already in the promotion stage.
Moreover, the publicity effect of Pengci Tengda was unexpectedly good!
