I am determined to take a trip into the muddy waters of Dawen Entertainment."
Ren Yu and Liu Zhiping looked at the furious Bonima and looked at each other, not knowing how to persuade each other.
In the end, it was Liu Zhiping, who had a higher position and was more respected by Pony Ma, who persuaded him: "Pony, don't be angry. It's useless no matter how much you say now. Think of countermeasures first!"
Bonima waved his hand, "I just don't understand. Is Zhang Yida a tough guy?
Isn’t it enough to just make a good short video? You have a hand in this and that, do you have the strength?"
Liu Zhiping nodded, "It's really strange. I heard that I bought a lot of copyrights from LeTV. It seems like I'm not just trying to make a small fuss."
Bonima sneered twice, "So what if it's not a small matter? Zhonghe spends more than 40 billion a year to produce content?"
Liu Zhiping shook his head, "I definitely can't afford this, they only have more than 20 billion in cash on their books.
We also need to take into account the overseas short video business and the e-commerce section.
What can be used for cultural and entertainment layout will only be 10 billion if it is exhausted, and it will not make any difference."
Bonima lit a cigarette and took a few puffs.
Then he said: "Yes, you said...is he overestimating his abilities?"
"Perhaps he doesn't want to grow bigger? He just said that the business needs to be extended and some related layouts need to be carried out."
Ren Yu added: "How about I ask Zhang Yida now to understand the matter clearly before drawing a conclusion."
Bonima waved his hand, "Okay, don't say nice things for him. Billions of billions have been scattered, is there still a lie?"
Ren Yu couldn't say anything more and had to remain silent.
Liu Zhiping rubbed his forehead and said, "Pony, tell me, what do you want to do? I will arrange the execution immediately."
After Bonima vented his anger, he slowly calmed down.
Liu Zhiping did not rush to reply, but considered it carefully.
Penguin has more than 14 points of shares in Zhonghe Group, worth nearly 10 billion US dollars.
Disabling the Zhonghe Group would also be a loss for Penguin, and it would also make people laugh at him easily.
But Zhang Yida is so unruly that he must be beaten one or two times.
"The blue hole seems to belong to Zhang Yida, right?" Poonima suddenly asked.
"Yes, what's wrong?" Liu Zhiping asked.
"How is this company?"
Liu Zhiping looked at Ren Yu, who was silent at the side.
Ren Yu understood and knew that Liu Zhiping was looking for a way out for him.
As the president of the interactive entertainment business group, he knows the Blue Hole very well.
In just a few words, the past and present life of Blue Hole and the potential of the hit game PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds were fully explained.
"Zhang Yida is quite good at investing. He acquired such a high-quality company with US$250 million. Now it has doubled tenfold, right?"
Bonima asked again: "He has been refusing to let go of the agency matter?"
Ren Yu nodded, "NetEase is also fighting with us. He probably wants to push the price."
Upon hearing this, Bonima became very angry.
Penguin has been so kind to you, Zhang Yida, and you actually want to kill us?
In Bonima's view, neither Ruixiang nor Zhonghe would have achieved what they have achieved today without the support of Penguin.
Now that my wings are hardened, I not only have no idea of repaying my kindness, but I also want to rebel.
"Make an offer to Zhang Yida. Penguin wants to buy Blue Hole."
Bonima's eyes were cold, "If he agrees, then he is still our friend, and we can let him do whatever he wants to make a long video;
If he doesn't agree, it means he also has ideas about the game, and then he is not qualified to be Penguin's friend."
Liu Zhiping smiled and nodded in agreement, "This method is good. Whether it succeeds or not, you can test Zhang Yida once."
He really thinks this method is good. If Zhang Yida agrees to sell Blue Hole, Penguin will get Blue Hole and get another hit game.
With Penguin's game operation capabilities, the money spent buying the company will be earned back sooner or later.
In addition, with another popular IP, Penguin’s leading position in domestic games can be strengthened again.
"What if Zhang Yida doesn't agree to sell the blue hole?" Ren Yu asked.
"Not for sale!"
A trace of fierceness flashed in Bonima's eyes, "Then ban the Zhonghe Group.
Doesn’t Zhang Dalong complain about Pinduoduo every day? He has long wanted to attack Pinduoduo.”
…
Ren Yu and Liu Zhiping quickly flew to the capital and met Zhang Yida at Zhonghe Group.
"Yida, you're going to fall down easily if you take such big steps!"
Ren Yu chuckled and said, "Brother Ren is a few years older than you, let's talk a few words about him."
Zhang Yida looked at the unkind duo, Ren Yu looked friendly, while Liu Zhiping had a cold expression and said nothing.
He has guessed countless penguin reactions, even the WeChat envelopes Pinduoduo has guessed.
But now that the Penguin duo came to look for him, he really didn't know what medicine was being sold in the gourd.
Could it be that you are trying to persuade yourself to step back from the brink?
I'm afraid this won't work. There will be no turning back when the bow is fired.
The worst-case scenario is that Penguin divests its capital, which is completely incompatible with water and fire.
Ren Yu said with a smile: "The company wants to grow and conduct more business exploration.
As a financial shareholder, we have no objection. However, the current short video campaign of Zhonghe Group has not ended, and it has rashly started a new war.
This is really dangerous! If you do it wrong, the good situation will be ruined!
Business lies in excellence, not in quantity.”
Zhang Yida still respected Ren Yu, so he said in a very gentle tone: "Now that all major long-form video platforms are encircling us, we can't just sit still and wait for death!
The enemy is burning the flames of war into our hearts, and we can only fight back."
Ren Yu forced a smile, because Zhang Yida's "enemy" also included penguins.
Penguin’s resurrection of Weishi is no secret in the industry.
He also speculated that it was most likely Weishi that stimulated Zhang Yida and made him make the decision to enter long-form video or even big entertainment.
Of course, he believes that Zhang Yida's entry into the entertainment industry is not just targeting the Penguin family, but should treat all three BAT families as enemies.
"Let's not talk about this first, let's talk about the blue hole!"
Zhang Yida frowned, why did he jump to the blue hole all of a sudden?
Ren Yu looked at Zhang Yida and said simply: "Penguin wants to buy the Blue Hole, please make a price!"
Acquire Blue Hole?
Zhang Yida was not particularly surprised, because in his previous life, Penguin failed to acquire Blue Hole and chose to invest in Blue Hole instead.
From this, it can be seen that Penguin likes to acquire shares and acquire game manufacturers.
"Can I ask why?"
Ren Yu explained: "Needless to say, the importance of games to Penguin! This is also for the sake of our upstream and downstream industry chains."
"Blue Hole is your private company, and it was bought from Koreans. The main purpose should be investment, right?"
Seeing that Zhang Yida didn't answer, Ren Yu continued: "If we sell it to Penguin, we won't take advantage of you. We will give you a very fair price. What do you think?"
Zhang Yida finally knew Penguin’s insidiousness, so he was forcing himself to make a choice!
Liu Zhiping, who had been silent all this time, also spoke: "Yida, sell the blue hole to Penguin, and let this matter be over.
When a company reaches such a large scale and its business covers all aspects, a little friction is normal.
Penguins are not intolerant of people! But the prerequisite is that our bottom line is not touched."
