Today, Laobai Studio is no longer a small workshop.
The entire company has nearly a thousand employees, and most of them are elites in the industry. Even if some of them are newcomers who have just graduated within two years, their future is limitless if they study and work in the group of Laobai Studio.
Also, the company is located in a building that Sun Peng bought at a huge price. The decoration is as comfortable as possible.
Not to mention that each of its three games is a hit with sales exceeding 10 million, and "The Legend of Heroes 3" is even more of a hit among hits. It still sells hundreds of thousands of copies every week. You need to know the pricing.
For 498 games, 200,000 copies means sales of 100 million, and hundreds of thousands of copies means they can earn 200-300 million in net profit every week!
Of course, games are very special products, and it is impossible to maintain such sales volume in the future. The current figures are just because the online mode has just been launched, attracting a large number of players to join.
So when the two teams started negotiating, Sun Peng gave an instruction to sell 10% of the shares.
If you sell most of your shares now, you will definitely lose money.
Others may not know it, but Sun Peng himself positions "The Legend of Laobai Heroes 3" as a different-world version of "GTA5"! Although the types are completely different and the styles are not similar, the two have many common characteristics - big
Maps, top-notch picture quality, rich plots, and countless fresh gameplays.
"GTA5" can sell hundreds of millions of copies on the earth, what about "The Legend of Laobai Qunxia 3"?
Huaxia Games may not really have that potential in other regions, but don’t forget that the Huaxia of this world is not comparable to China on earth, and it can easily sell tens of millions of copies locally.
It’s just that this takes a long time and accumulates bit by bit.
"Gta5"'s sales of hundreds of millions did not happen overnight, but took several years. But in the past few years, this game has been at the top of Steam's sales list, and the development plan of "Gta6" has also been delayed.
If you delay any longer, the longevity of the game will make fans despair...
So Sun Peng's idea is very simple. Even if he wants to quit the gaming industry and hand over Laobai Studio to a more suitable owner, he will never sell the company in one go.
Just because there is no shortage of money does not mean that Sun Peng will have trouble with money.
The sales volume of "The Legend of Laobai Qunxia 3" has been on an upward trend. The launch of the online mode has also brought more online revenue to the game. Coupled with the first DLC that will be launched soon, Sun Peng will definitely not be satisfied with TT games.
The current quotation. In his view, the company's valuation potential is still very high, and it is worth waiting patiently.
Giving up 10% of the shares is just to give TT Games a thought and prevent them from giving up.
A building, nearly a thousand elites, countless top-notch equipment and software, and of course three games and a huge amount of cash flow, all mean that even only 10% of the shares will be a blockbuster deal. So this
The negotiation process will definitely not be short, and Sun Peng's agent and financial team will definitely be busy for a while...
…
Although he returned to China, Sun Peng was not idle.
In addition to the later stages of "Avengers" which required his attention across the Pacific, his set of books also consumed a lot of energy and time.
At the same time, he must also fulfill his previous commitments in the United States.
Paramount and Haggis don't need to worry about it for the time being. After all, they have the Avengers series and the Wizards series, so there's not much of a problem in maintaining a cooperative relationship. However, Capoka and Heimens must continue to develop new films.
The final result was that Capoka obtained "Shrek" and began preparations for "Frozen 2"; while Heimens obtained the follow-up development rights for "Night at the Museum" and "Pirates of the Caribbean".
As for DreamWorks and Qinglan Animation, they have also selected their new works.
DreamWorks' "Toy Story" has begun production, and "Kung Fu Panda 2" has entered the preparatory stage; as for Qinglan Animation, it has obtained "Coco"...
"Ladies and gentlemen, this will be the last animation script I write for you!"
In the conference room of Qinglan Animation, Sun Peng said calmly: "In other words, after the release of "Coco", you can only find projects and develop scripts on your own... I have already done this.
I have been vaccinated with you, so there is no need to persuade me, you should think carefully about what to do in the future."
As soon as he finished speaking, the conference room suddenly fell into deathly silence.
Most people had expressions of shock and anxiety on their faces, only a few people were thoughtful, and their reactions were all seen by Sun Peng.
So after a pause, Sun Peng continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, now Qinglan Animation is the best in the country... okay, maybe a little worse than DreamWorks, but many of you are from DreamWorks
Everyone who comes from the factory has accumulated enough experience and has enough technical strength. I believe you will be able to do your own animation well. So during the two years of production of "Coco", I hope you can do a good job
Think about your next work."
"Teacher Sun, we..."
"Okay, listen to me first."
Just when the general manager of Qinglan Animation wanted to speak, Sun Peng waved his hand and said with a smile: "I hope you will spend a year exploring your new animation, and then wait until this time next year to start preparations and even...
Produced...Of course, I allow you to choose from "Sunflower Stories" or freely choose other genres and themes, it's all up to you!"
Having said this, Sun Peng finally stopped.
However, he had no intention of listening to what others were saying. Instead, he picked up the cup in front of him and happily took a sip of the slightly cold tea.
Weaning off the two animation companies is something Sun Peng has decided long ago and will never change.
After a moment of silence, a middle-aged woman finally spoke: "Teacher Lao Bai, I would like to ask, does DreamWorks give you the same treatment?"
"Of course, you are all the same!"
Putting down the tea cup in his hand, Sun Peng chuckled and said: "DreamWorks' "Toy Story" was also the last script I gave you. Their "Kung Fu Panda 2" is an animation that was completely operated by myself. I will never interfere in any part!
"
"..."
After hearing what he said, everyone fell silent again.
Although they are both the biological sons of Lao Bai, everyone knows that DreamWorks is undoubtedly more important, and its reputation and strength are much higher than those of Qinglan Animation. Because a large number of people in Qinglan Animation are separated from DreamWorks
Because everyone knows this.
Since DreamWorks is the same, what else can you say?
After waiting for a moment, Sun Peng added: "Here, I must emphasize again that you should have a broader mind when making animations, and don't always limit yourself to my works. To be honest, my animations are all from Hollywood.
The style is not necessarily the best. Think about "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother", that is China's own work! And don't worry, if you try it, I have a very high tolerance for mistakes.
