Chapter 482 Hostile takeover! The real dragon awakens!
Look at Gu Sheng's expression!
Shen Miaomiao knew that she remembered correctly.
As early as a few days ago, she and Lao Gu accidentally talked about the technical gap in the golden engine.
It's not that she is very studious.
Mainly I want to know about engine upgrades and whether there will be more room for operation in the future.
After all, this thing is so profitable!
Money printing factory!
The initial investment in Golden Engine turned 120 million into 1.8 billion.
Afterwards, the purchase of Phoenix shares increased from 1.8 billion to 2.7 billion!
Shen Miaomiao deeply realized that the strategy she adhered to from beginning to end was actually correct——
After all, the carrying capacity of the market is limited, so when costs increase to a certain level, losses are inevitable.
Just like now!
With the entry of the money-burning project Golden Engine, her coffers are getting richer and richer, and rebates are pouring in.
This is a good thing.
She had to ask Lao Gu if there was anything else he needed to spend money on...oh no...it was "upgrading".
This question really exists.
Today, they only occupy four of the seven major modules, and the technology of three modules is still immature.
And among these three immature modules!
There is this [reality augmented technology] that Fantasy VI is currently promoting.
What is this technology used for?
have no idea.
What improvements can this technology bring?
have no idea.
How important is this technology?
have no idea.
Shen Miaomiao was just like the player who skipped all the plot explanations——
【All I know is that I am going to go on a killing spree now!】
Here, Shen Miaomiao entered into the Valkyrie state, with her two big eyes shining like gold coins.
On the opposite side, Gu Sheng's mind was also racing rapidly.
did not expect.
Reality augmentation turns out to be Fantasy VI’s trump card.
It's good news, but not entirely good.
As one of the three most urgently needed modules of the Golden Engine, now that an engine company can stand up and say, 'We have developed the world's only reality augmented technology', it will undoubtedly give Golden Wind a stronger driving force and motivation to move forward. Clear objectives.
According to what he knows now - it won't be long before Yan Sheng's "Yiyu x3" somatosensory cabin will be released.
As the latest generation of next-generation somatosensory cabin, Yiyu x3 continues to further upgrade its specialty "full-sensory assistive technology" and is committed to creating the most immersive full-sensory experience for players.
If that happens, [Reality Augmentation] and [Full-sensory Assistance] will be realized on Yiyu x3 at the same time.
Gu Sheng simply couldn't imagine how shocking the works at that time would be.
This level of technological leap can even crush gameplay to some extent.
Even to the extreme, if there is the support of this kind of technology, even if the manufacturer produces the most vulgar racing simulation game, it can still defeat a large number of opponents with excellent creative plots based on the game experience.
but!
The problem is that this technology... is actually in the hands of Huan Meng.
Iron enemies and mortal enemies.
It is impossible to continue to follow Phoenix's strategy and achieve industrial and technological alliances through win-win cooperation.
Although theoretically speaking, Fantasy is not a subsidiary invested by Vivendi.
But there is no doubt that it is indeed Vivendi's dog now.
Even whether it wants it or not, the chain is in Vivendi's hand.
The failure of monopoly sanctions caused Fantasy's market share to shrink again and again, followed by a sharp decline in market value and an extremely unhealthy and fragile revenue model.
Now, the only one who might be willing to help Huanmeng take the blame is Vivendi.
Therefore, even if Yunwei's "engine replacement incident" caused such a fuss, Huanmeng could only act like a weak sufferer who was faced with NTR, silently accepting the situation, and bitterly becoming the unsafe one between Golden Wind and Yunwei.
part of the play of words.
Fantasy will not give up its newly developed technology so easily and join the "Golden Alliance".
"call--"
Thinking of this, Gu Sheng couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
what can we do about it?
He was leaning on the bed, holding his shoulders and thinking.
The next moment, Gu Sheng felt an extra weight on his shoulders.
Little Nezha came over, rested his head on his shoulder, stretched out his arms and hugged his arm, his tone seemed a little treacherous:
"Well... dear, what is Huanmeng's current market value... approximately?"
"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
Gu Sheng glanced at Xiao Nezha with some confusion and joked:
"What's wrong? Boss Shen? Are you still planning to buy Huanmeng?"
Hear the words!
Shen Miaomiao could not help but tremble.
Guess what?
We oldmoney wake up to this every day!
My 2.7 billion knife is already thirsty!
If I don’t burn this money, I’ll be scratched all over!
"yes!"
Shen Miaomiao simply expressed her true feelings openly and honestly in a joking way:
"It's impossible for them to accept Huairou's win-win cooperation method anyway, so it's better to start robbing it directly!"
puff--
Gu Sheng almost spit out the sip of water he just drank: "Please save it, ancestor..."
Huanmenggui is the world's largest commercial engine company. Both its motion sensing engines and conventional engines occupy the vast majority of the market share. Last year's valuation reached nearly 20 billion U.S. dollars.
Although since the monopoly price adjustment policy was released, Fantasy's valuation has fallen again and again due to the continuous encroachment by other engine manufacturers and the impact of falling market confidence.
But the so-called skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
Today, Fantasy still has a valuation of nearly 15 billion U.S. dollars.
Five billion yuan has evaporated in half a year, and the market value has shrunk by a quarter. It is really tragic.
But it’s not something a medium-sized game company like Golden Wind can win.
hiss--
Hear the words.
Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but secretly dumbfounded.
It turns out that Huanmeng is so big.
The market value is even nearly double that of Phoenix, which is in the same theoretical tier.
This is still the size of Huanmeng after it committed suicide and caused its market value to plummet.
I thought that the 2.7 billion knife in hand was a lot.
But now it seems that it is still a bit reluctant to initiate the acquisition of Fantasy.
However, it's not completely impossible.
There are only two roads——
Increase the value of your investment by yourself, or let Fantasy’s valuation continue to shrink.
The former is easier to handle.
With their current reputation as Golden Wind, apart from anything else, as long as she, Dong Shen, dares to shout in the market, "Is there anyone who wants to work on a project with us?"
Then a lot of investment will come like a flood.
From the big ones like Yiyu Xunvine to the small ones like Phantom Peaks, everyone knows that there is meat to be had by following the golden wind.
Money is not an issue. I am not afraid that you will not have enough to eat, but I am afraid that you will not be able to eat enough.
What's more, there are Shen Capital and Pengcheng Real Estate.
As long as the wind of gold dares to mention it, a lot of people are waiting to throw money into it.
Although according to system regulations, these recruited funds cannot be counted as costs in the rebate documents.
But for Shen Miaomiao who already had 2.7 billion in hand, this cost was enough to cause her a serious loss.
It's a good way.
But it would be better to continue to suppress Fantasy and let their valuation continue to shrink.
Because in this way, Golden Wind can use the same amount of money to acquire a higher shareholding and decision-making power of Huanmeng, and even become one of the top major shareholders, influencing and even deciding Huanmeng's policy deployment to a greater extent.
If you put it this way...
Shen Miaomiao thought for a moment and made a decision in her mind.
We still have to think of ways to continue to affect the market value of Fantasy and let it continue to shrink.
Now that Fantasy VI has just been announced, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If the market loses confidence in the Fantasy VI engine at this time, then Fantasy's market valuation will not be as simple as falling by 5 billion in half a year.
The latest flagship product has been questioned by the market.
God knows how much impact this will have on Huanmeng, who is already in dire straits.
Until then, I will take action decisively.
As long as it can acquire more than 30% of the equity of Fantasy, then according to regulations, Golden Wind will have the right to issue an "acquisition offer" for Fantasy.
At that time, Golden Wind will report the acquisition price, and all shareholders of Fantasy will choose whether to sell their shares.
Perhaps for major shareholders, this kind of acquisition offer that involves the company's decision-making power needs to be carefully considered or even find ways to resist.
But for the large number of small and medium-sized shareholders, the decision-making power itself has nothing to do with them. They only need to care about their own interests.
Generally speaking, a group or company that will be subject to a takeover bid usually means that the company will undergo major changes, and the stock price will subsequently change significantly.
Generally speaking, the takeover offer at this time is actually an "exit warning", giving small and medium-sized shareholders an opportunity to escape.
At this time, Shen Miaomiao could completely attract partners such as Yiyou and Xunteng to purchase the shares of small and medium-sized shareholders who left the market, and increase her own shareholding ratio to more than 34%, so that she could join Huanmeng. In the board of directors, he enjoys veto controlling power, which fundamentally affects all business decisions of Fantasy Company.
above!
This series of operations!
It's called a hostile takeover, also known as -
[Hostile acquisition]
God's way is reincarnation!
once Upon a time!
Golden Wind is still coveted by the Prestige Dis system!
Kaunike thinks about it day and night, and even resorts to both soft and hard tactics to get Golden Wind listed so that he can carry out a hostile takeover of them that bypasses the board of directors!
And they have used this acquisition method countless times!
From the former Melancholy Blues, which was previously successfully hostile to a hostile takeover - Ubsoft gaming company!
It was so badly destroyed that if it wasn't for the game "Euro Truck" that reversed its form at the Europa Expo, it would have been almost controlled by Fury Game!
Vivendi's methods were fully displayed and unscrupulous in the hands of the leader of the minions, Kaunik!
And now!
The situation has turned!
The opening of the "Golden Era" is the joint success of the rise of the golden engine in Gu Sheng's hands and Shen Miaomiao's huge rebates on the right track!
Will the dragon slayer eventually become the evil dragon?
Who told you that we are dragon-slaying warriors?
We are the real dragons!
A true dragon that holds back and waits for the opportunity to rise!
And now, the time has come!
Repay the other person with his own way!
Next it’s our turn to launch a hostile takeover!
And the trigger for launching the acquisition...
Shen Miaomiao was scrolling through her phone and her eyes fell on a news feed that had just been sent——
…
""Fantasy VI" is about to be released! What will the new technology that transcends the times bring to the gaming industry? "
"Huanwei announces that Yunwei has become the chief partner of "Fantasy VI"! Yunwei's new work will be the first to be equipped with Fantasy VI!"
"The big one is coming! Yunwei releases the world's first trailer for a game equipped with "Dream VI"!"
"New immersive experience! Yunwei releases the latest masterpiece "Alien: The Endless Tide""
"Super thriller IP authorization! The once shelved masterpiece is officially announced again! Yunwei's "Alien: Endless Undertow" will be equipped with the latest sixth-generation Fantasy Engine!"
"..."
good!
Go round and round!
"Alien: The Endless Tide", a super thriller IP derivative masterpiece produced by Yunwei's studio Firebird, is finally produced using the Fantasy Engine!
Yes.
This may be the best decision Cornick has ever made.
At that time, because the chief director of Firebird considered that the type of this work was a horror game, he proposed to use Phoenix to produce it with better graphics.
But it was precisely this proposal that brought Yunwei and Huan Meng to the forefront at the same time.
There are a lot of rumors about "discord" or even "breakup" between the two.
Under such influence, no matter how reluctant Cornick was, he could only temporarily shelve the development of "Alien: Infinity Tide".
And now.
With the release of the sixth generation of Fantasy.
The relationship between the two parties has gradually eased over time, coupled with the all-round upgrade of the new generation Fantasy VI engine, which undoubtedly gave Yunwei an opportunity to restart the project.
The key is.
This latest sixth-generation Fantasy Engine is based on the most advanced "reality augmented technology" in the world today.
Such an improvement can naturally completely make up for the small shortcomings in picture presentation.
Firebird was once again commissioned to develop "The Opposite Sex: Endless Undertide"!
no doubt!
Whether it is for Yunwei or Huanmeng!
This "first to be equipped with Fantasy VI" work is a key battle for them!
Yunwei, who had been silent for a long time, pointed to this work to regain his glory and reach the top again, declaring his dominance in the gaming industry with a supreme gesture!
As for Fantasy, which is in dire straits, it is even more necessary for this work to demonstrate the advantages of its latest generation motion sensing engine, not only to stop the downward trend, but also to regain the market that it has painfully lost during this period!
Yunwei needs this work to regain the dominant position he should be in charge of!
Huanmeng needs this work even more to restore its plummeting market share!
This is their crucial battle!
A crucial battle that cannot be lost!
"...I believe that this work is enough for us to leave the most glorious mark in the history of world game development. President Walker, good news is waiting for us ahead. Now let us calm down and wait and see.
!”
Say it!
Cornick said goodbye to President Walker of Dream Engine and hung up the phone with a smile.
When Prestige comes out, who can compete with it?
Cornick is very satisfied with the current situation.
Ever since they and Fantasy jointly released news about "Phantasm VI" and "Alien", the entire game market seems to have gone silent.
Most manufacturers also understand that Yunweigui is the world's largest comprehensive game company, and it is equipped with the latest engine of Fantasy, how unstoppable it is.
Therefore, in the nearly one week since the news was announced, many major manufacturers have changed their announcement and release plans, trying their best to avoid Yunwei's powerful impact.
And Cornick is naturally happy to see this situation where "no one dares to touch his edge."
I took a sip of coffee happily, and the haze of this period seemed to be gone.
I just stood up and wanted to move around a little.
But right now!
Tuk-tuk-tuk——
The repeated knocks on the door made Cornick startled and answered:
"Come in?"
Click.
The office door opens.
Vice President Petain appeared at the door holding a tablet computer, his face seemed to be quite solemn.
"President……"
Petain opened his mouth, with a look on his face that the situation was not good.
Cornick's heart couldn't help but thump.
Looking at each other in silence.
Although neither of them spoke.
But Cornick could also see some clues from Petain's expression.
A very bad feeling slowly rose in his heart.
Didn't say much.
Cornick just waved to Petain.
Bada.
The tablet was placed in front of Cornick.
Woo——woo——
In the pitch-black scene, the anxious and urgent sound of sirens seemed to reflect Cornick's anxious and uneasy mood at the moment...
…
Amid the sound of sirens!
Noisy and chaotic sounds came from all directions in the darkness!
[You have been surrounded, surrender immediately...]
[One billion ransom...]
[How is the situation at the scene...]
【There are hostages...】
【still uncertain……】
【……】
Siren sound.
Footsteps.
The sound of conversation.
The sound of discussion.
The voice of shouting came from the loudspeaker.
Helicopters buzzed overhead.
At this moment, there seemed to be countless voices, chaotically intertwined in the dark picture.
But the amazing thing is——!
You can actually clearly distinguish the source of all the noisy sounds in the room!
Shouting in an open field!
Helicopters hovering in the sky!
The siren sounded above the police car, and the officer next to him was learning about the emergency!
until--!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three gunshots rang out, and the field suddenly exploded!
Shining sparks splash on a white line!
The camera moves up from the white runway line!
But in the middle of the picture, a huge Boeing 747 aircraft was parked on the runway!
It was surrounded by dense police cars!
Countless well-equipped police armed with firearms pointed at the huge and completely enclosed aircraft!
The gunfire just now caused all the armed police officers to squat on alert!
The only officer, with a straight back and a slight frown, looked at the huge passenger plane surrounded by people with a solemn expression.
Then, the officer's hand was slowly raised, and the call indicator light of the walkie-talkie in his hand flashed.
And this moment!
All sounds in the venue disappeared.
Only the faint chirping sound of the walkie-talkie sounded, subtle but real:
"Attention all team members——"
[Negotiations broke down and we began to attack the enemy]
