Chapter five hundred and seventy seventh wave again
"Mr. Wang, since you want to sell the company, you might as well let us Penguins join in."
Lin Haifeng, the head of Penguin's strategic investment department, smiled and looked at the young man in front of him who was born in Penguin.
Although he holds a high position in Penguin and has equity in Penguin, in terms of net worth, the person in front of him is more than worth it.
Games are really an industry that creates wealth!
After sighing in his heart, Lin Haifeng did not forget the main task today.
Lilith was going to be acquired by Ruixiang. After Penguin learned the news, they dispatched him as soon as possible.
The purpose is very simple, to seize the target, secondly to interfere with the acquisition, and thirdly to make Ruixiang's acquisition no longer so easy.
Wang Xinwen has somewhat complicated feelings about Penguin. Like the other two founders, he had worked at Penguin and left together to start Lilith.
But he did not receive investment from Penguin, nor did he receive any direct help from Penguin.
The only indirect benefit was that with Penguin's resume, he and his team received 2 million angel investments from IDG in the early stages of the business.
If the matter only ends here, his feelings towards Penguin cannot be said to be complicated. Perhaps it is more appropriate to describe it as gratitude.
At Penguin, he learned his skills and got to know his current team.
But one year after he started his business, in 2014, his wife Chen Xiaohua was fired by Penguin.
His wife is no ordinary person either, she is the game planner of "Tiantian Cool Run".
For Penguin, he is also a talent, but why was he fired?
In the words of netizens, Penguin has never played "Dota Legend" in his own game, so he fired his wife to vent his anger.
Another theory is that as a family member of Penguin's competitor, it is reasonable for Chen Xiaohua to be "resigned" whether for work confidentiality or otherwise.
Afterwards, Chen Xiaohua also posted a long article on a media platform, describing how hard it is to work in the mobile game industry. She developed gastric ulcers at work and occult blood in her feces while working overtime.
Penguin gave her two options, one was to resign voluntarily, and the other was to be fired.
To quote her, why was I fired?
Is it because I didn't do a good job and helped "Tiantian Cool Run" to keep increasing its income? Did I violate the company's rules and regulations and fall in love with the secretary, and have an extramarital affair with the boss? Did I sell the company's secrets in exchange for money to buy rice?
None of the above answers are correct, your thinking is too limited.
The real reason is this: "Dota Legend" topped the revenue list, breaking WeChat's mobile game monopoly.
Therefore, the relationship between Wang Xinwen and Penguin was forged.
Wang Xinwen gave Lin Haifeng a cold look and admitted that after Penguin joined, Lilith might be able to sell more than ten to two billion.
But what's the point? For this little money, he can bend his waist and do something to the powerful? What do netizens think of him?
My wife was bullied, and my husband licked his face and sold the company to someone else?
"You go away, Lilith can't be sold to Penguin."
Wang Xinwen quickly made a decision and directly issued an order to expel the guests.
Lin Haifeng naturally knew about the dirty things that happened between Wang Xinwen and his company, so he smiled and persuaded: "Mr. Wang, it's been four years since that happened, so don't keep it in your mind.
No matter what price Penguin pays Ruixiang, we will add 1 billion to this basis.
We can't have trouble with money just because of a small grudge, right?
If you feel wronged, then I will apologize to you on behalf of the company."
Wang Xinwen smiled and said, "To put it bluntly, Mr. Lin, you came to apologize, which is a bit less valuable.
If Pony apologizes to me in person and Penguin issues an apology statement, I might be able to consider you."
Anger flashed through Lin Haifeng's eyes. Do you want Pony to apologize to you?
As long as you have a peanut, you can't get drunk like this.
Thinking about eating shit!
"Okay, Mr. Wang, let's stop joking."
If the mission of sniping Ruixiang hadn't been too important, Lin Haifeng would have really wanted to walk away.
But now he suppressed his anger and continued to persuade: "What's the good of following Ruixiang? They are now surrounded on all sides, and BATJ is encircling them.
Not to mention that they haven’t gone public yet and their valuation is unstable. Even if they are really listed, can they stand firm with a market value of US$200 billion?
Ruixiang is talking to you about an equity merger, right? Penguin can provide cash, all cash."
When Wang Xinwen saw that the other party was still entangled here, he felt angry with the other party. He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll sell it to you for 10 billion US dollars in cash!"
Lin Haifeng is really going to explode now. Is the other party determined not to cooperate with Penguin?
"Can Lilith be compared with Super Cell? Even Super Cell is only valued at US$10 billion."
As someone who makes games, Wang Xinwen naturally knows Supercell, the Finnish mobile game giant.
The company develops global hit games such as Clash of Clans, Hay Day, Boom Beach, Clash Royale and Brawl Stars.
In the middle of 2016, Penguin acquired 84.3% of the shares of this game company with only 180 employees for US$8.6 billion, valuing Super Cell at over 10 billion US dollars.
"In my heart, Lilith is more valuable than Super Cell!"
Wang Xinwen replied with a smile.
Lin Haifeng really didn't want to talk anymore. This was simply not following the rules and he had a grudge against money.
After thinking about it, Lin Haifeng thought of a breakthrough point, so he said: "By rejecting Penguin's high offer so directly, Mr. Wang didn't even have to discuss it with the shareholders?
To put it bluntly, you are disregarding the interests of other founders and shareholders."
Wang Xinwen admitted that what the other party said was true, but the other two founders also complained about Penguin.
Perhaps financial investment shareholders may feel that their interests have been somewhat damaged, but they cannot decide the direction of Lilith.
"You don't have to worry about this. We have signed the preliminary letter of intent to acquire Ruixiang. It's too late to regret it."
Wang Xinwen thought that if the other party bypassed him and went to find several other shareholders, there might really be some trouble, so he simply made up a lie.
In fact, we are still negotiating with Ruixiang and have not signed any agreement at all.
Lin Haifeng didn't believe this. He really signed the agreement. Why didn't he say it in the first place?
However, there is also a possibility that the other party really signed the agreement and is just playing tricks on itself.
"Now that Lilith has signed the agreement, I won't say much."
Lin Haifeng stood up and glanced at Wang Xinwen, "However, I still hope that Mr. Wang can think carefully before acting."
Wang Xinwen said nothing, looked at the other person's leaving figure and shouted: "Go slowly without seeing him off!"
It feels so good to yell at the other person for a while, but the other person doesn't dare to say anything back to you.
It's a pity that my wife didn't see what happened just now, otherwise she could definitely be asked to contract for a year.
This is what a real man should be like. Is it important to have two filthy rich men?
After returning home, Wang Xinwen couldn't wait to go to his wife Chen Xiaohua to ask for credit.
"You're a pig, that's 1 billion? Based on your shareholding in the company, you can get 330 million?"
Instead of praising Wang Xinwen, Chen Xiaohua scolded him.
"Aren't I afraid that you will be wronged?"
Although Chen Xiaohua said she was worried about money, she was actually very moved in her heart. With a husband like this, what more could a husband ask for!
This is also a model couple in the gaming industry and is praised by the outside world.
Lin Haifeng did not give up, and through various relationship channels, he privately met with Lilith's two co-founders, Yuan Shuai and Zhang Hao.
Although it is very likely that Ruixiang and Lilith have signed an intention to acquire the company, he will not miss it as long as there is a glimmer of hope.
