Chapter five hundred and sixty-one visit the net one
In this parallel world, several game companies in China are similar to those in Lin Chen's memory.
Penguin relies on its own QQ platform and WeChat platform to occupy an absolute dominance in the gaming field.
There are very few companies that can compete with it.
All former competitors were defeated one by one by the Penguin Empire.
Nowadays, NetOne is the only company that can still compete with it.
The Penguin Empire was too huge for Lin Chen to do anything to it, so his eyes naturally fell on Wang Yi.
In this parallel world, Net One is the same as Lin Chen remembered in his previous life. First, it relied on strong independent research and development to stabilize its position, and then expanded the market through cooperative agents with overseas companies. If Lin Chen wanted to officially enter the game
world, this is indeed a good choice.
The only problem is that NetOne is already a listed company, so it may be difficult to win over them.
Especially when he is likely to face a war in six months to a year, is it worth spending huge sums of money to acquire a listed company?
After repeated calculations and using his own abilities, Lin Chen Panheng decided to make the acquisition.
Although acquiring Net One may cost a lot of money, there are many benefits to acquiring Net One. Not to mention the income that can be obtained from operating games through Net One channels, Net One also has a lot of game income.
As for the funds consumed during the acquisition, this can be easily solved. NetOne is a US-listed company, and its shares can be directly mortgaged with securities companies on the other side of the ocean, so for Lin Chen, it will not affect his cash flow.
Too big.
So, after making the decision, Lin Chen came to Tang Xin and directly stated his goal.
"Acquisition of Net One?"
Hearing Lin Chen's new goal, Tang Xin couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Lin Chen nodded: "You also know that I have acquired two foreign companies. The game of one of them has already started operation and has achieved good results. In addition, with the products of Wolong Company, which I jointly hold shares with Xiaoxiao, we now need a company with good performance.
For a game company with experience and strength, NetOne is just the right choice.”
"But NetOne is a US-listed company... I'm afraid the acquisition will cost a lot, and I heard that NetOne's boss Ding Lin holds more than 50% of the shares. In a company with absolute controlling rights, even if we want to be rich
It’s also difficult to acquire! The only way is if Ding Lin is willing to sell it to us.”
"Is that so?"
This is the first time Lin Chen has heard of this matter. Is Ding Lin willing to sell it to them?
The probability that Ding Lin is willing to sell to them Net One is... 20%!
Such a low probability?
Lin Chen frowned.
If there is only such a low probability, it may be difficult for this to happen.
But if Lin Chen wanted to find another company, there would no longer be a suitable company.
Except for NetOne and Enterprise, there are very few companies in China that have successful operating experience, especially in mobile games...
"Forget it, let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, think of other ways."
Wangyi’s office address is in southern Zhejiang, the same place as Ma Xiaoyun’s Tmall.
After deciding to acquire, Lin Chen and Tang Xin made some preparations, then took a helicopter directly from the East China Sea to southern Zhejiang.
Before coming, Lin Chen had asked Ma Xiaoyun to be the intermediary and informed Wang Yi in advance.
Therefore, when their helicopter landed at Net One’s headquarters in southern Zhejiang, a large group of people immediately came to greet them.
"Lin Chen, it seems that Wangyi may be really interested in selling it. Look at how many people came to pick us up."
Lin Chen had a solemn expression on his face, because he had already recognized that among the group of people below, Ding Lin, the boss of Wangyi, was not among them.
Sure enough, among the people who came to greet them, a man stood up and introduced: "Hello, you are Director Lin from Stardust Investment. I am Yang Ming, the vice president of Net One. Welcome to your arrival."
"Hello, hello." Lin Chen extended his hand to say hello.
"Director Lin, please allow me to take you to visit our company?" Yang Ming said politely.
"No, I hope to meet you, Mr. Ding, first," Lin Chen said.
However, the other party said: "Sorry, Director Lin, our boss Ding went to attend the Internet Conference in Wusu today. We haven't come back yet."
Internet conference?
Lin Chen frowned.
Of course he knew that there was an Internet conference today, after all, Ma Xiaoyun had told him in advance.
However, the Internet Conference would not be held until the afternoon. In order to avoid delaying Ding Lin's time, he made a helicopter and came over early in the morning.
But now the other party actually went to Wusu in advance. Wasn't this deliberately letting them go?
"Lin Chen..." Tang Xin also frowned, seeming a little unhappy.
"Forget it." Lin Chen waved his hand, "Then let's visit first."
Following Yang Ming, Lin Chen and his group visited the R&D center of Wangyi.
Wangyi's R&D center has created a first-class office environment in China and even the world. It can be said that it has the best gymnasium, the best free canteen, and the most spacious office area among the offices in southern Zhejiang.
The R&D center, which took three years to complete, covers an area of 87 acres, with a total construction area of 135,000 square meters and a total green area of 30,000 square meters.
In terms of environment, it is indeed top-notch.
It's a pity that although the outside looks good, the inside of the center is still much worse than Lin Chen's Stardust Investment.
Even though there are rest areas, canteens, water bars, entertainment rooms, etc. inside the center, it seems that the working environment is quite comfortable.
But this is only for people in ordinary companies.
But for Lin Chen, who has Stardust Investment, the environment here...
Tsk tsk tsk...
That's it.
Compared with the facilities at Stardust Investment, the small TV, a mainframe entertainment room, only a few packets of biscuits and potato chips, and a limited-use snack area on Net One all looked too shabby.
After spending a long time building a building that looks so beautiful from the outside, it looks just like this from the inside.
This makes everyone on the Internet a little strange.
We have such a good environment, why do the other parties look so plain?
Yang Ming was very confused.
But he didn't know that in the same office location, Lin Chen's Stardust Investment had an average office area of 30 square meters per person, which was three times that of the other company.
The entertainment area invested by Stardust has three 60-inch TVs and two game consoles of various models.
In the snack area, there are all kinds of snacks, drinks and tea, Haagen-Dazs ice cream and Starbucks coffee available in unlimited quantities.
Comparing the two, it is no wonder that Lin Chen and the others had no reaction.
Just when Lin Chen thought that this visit would be a bit dull, right in front of them, the group suddenly heard the sound of a quarrel.
"Shang Shu! I told you, this plan is settled, no more discussion!"
