Tang Ji got up early this time and finally bought a copy of "True News". Like him, many people around him were buying newspapers.
Obviously, these people are paying attention to the Qingzhou Yingni takeover battle.
However, today's newspapers obviously disappointed them. Although both Chinese Real Estate and Hefu issued notices, they did not intend to increase the price to acquire Qingzhou Yingni. They still maintained the price of 20 Hong Kong dollars per share to acquire Qingzhou Yingni.
Ni stocks.
In addition, Chinese Real Estate also announced a piece of news, that is, in order to facilitate investors who hold Qingzhou Yingni shares to sell their Qingzhou Yingni shares as soon as possible, Baoyuan and Fengwu companies have established separate offices on Hong Kong Island.
Two new purchase points have been added in Central and Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon. Investors holding Qingzhou Yingni stocks can sell their Qingzhou Yingni stocks nearby!
“Is the price of HK$20 the final price?”
At this time, Tang Ji's mood fluctuated a little while sitting on the minibus.
There are not many people who think like him.
Soon, rumors spread in the business community in Hong Kong that the final purchase price of Chinese Real Estate was HK$20 per share and would never be raised again. In addition, the purchase price of Hefu was almost in this range.
As for whether the news came from Chinese Real Estate or from Hefu, it is actually impossible for the outside world to test.
“It seems that we are not the only ones spreading this news, but Hefu’s side is also adding fuel to the flames!”
Xu Yi sat opposite Chu Huan and reported the situation to Chu Huan.
Naturally, Chu Huan's people spread this news. Now everyone outside is waiting for the news that Chinese Real Estate or Hefu will increase the share price of the acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni.
So they all held on tightly to their Qingzhou Yingni stocks and did not sell them.
This situation is naturally not what Chinese Real Estate and Hefu want to see. There is nothing wrong with the two parties being in a competitive relationship, but they do not want to acquire Qingzhou Yingni at a higher price, which is not in the interests of both parties.
So when Chu Huan sent people to spread the news, Hefu didn't know if there was anyone there, but if not, they would definitely have added fuel to the flames as Xu Yi said.
"The next step is to see whether those investors want shares or cash!"
Chu Huan spoke calmly.
Chu Huan can accept this situation, even accept it happily, because Chu Huan always believes that everyone prefers cash.
"Have arrangements been made for the acquisition points of Baoyuan and Fengwu?"
Chu Huan then asked Xu Yi that he hadn't read today's newspaper yet.
Yesterday, Chu Huan asked Wu Shuhan to notify Baoyuan and Fengwu companies to add four acquisition points. This was Chu Huan's micro-management of this acquisition war.
Xu Yi nodded and said, "It's been arranged."
"Notify Huduoli and Yifu immediately to increase the number of acquisition points!"
Chang Shi, Li Jiacheng preached a little angrily at this time.
"How could I forget this!"
Sheng Songsheng said, "We have already notified Huoduoli and Yifu. I believe they are already arranging this matter at this time, but"
After a pause, Sheng Songsheng said helplessly, "We are already one step behind the Chinese real estate buyers. In addition, if Duoli and Yifu want to add acquisition points, there will be a process."
"After all, it's a step too late!" Li Jiacheng sighed, "Before, I only focused on the shareholders of Qingzhou Yingni, and Jiang Ran forgot about this matter!
It was obvious that Real Estate had used this trick when it acquired the milk company, how could you not notice it!"
Seeing Li Jiacheng's annoyed look, Sheng Songsheng, Zhou Qian and the two of them did not say anything to comfort them, saying that this little time was nothing.
Both of them understand that the acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni has now reached a feverish stage, and any advantage may have an immeasurable impact on the final result.
"Chairman, this matter is irreversible now. We should seize the time and find ways to recover these losses!"
Zhou Qianhe suggested.
Li Jiacheng nodded slightly and said, "How is the acquisition status of Huduoli and Yifu now?"
Zhou Qianhe shook his head slightly and said, "The situation is not very good. Some investors who came for consultation obviously did not understand Hefu's acquisition plan very well, and the staff of the two companies had to spend a lot of time explaining to them. This
It also led to a longer time to complete a single transaction. Looking at Baoyuan and Fengwu, the situation is much clearer. It is a cash acquisition, simple and clear."
Li Jiacheng scratched his head again, the situation was developing bit by bit in a direction he didn't want to see.
According to what Zhou Qianhe said, even if there are 100 people, Chinese Real Estate can complete all transactions in one morning and conduct new transactions in the afternoon.
As for Hefu, it may only take one day to complete the transactions of these one hundred people.
"Any good news?"
Li Jiacheng needs good news at this time to calm his current mood.
Sheng Songsheng said, “It’s not that there is no good news. First of all, most investors still very much recognize the stocks of Jardine Matheson and Swire. Secondly, with the capital injection from the four major foreign banks and HSBC, our cash is also abundant.
Although the acquisition plan is a bit more complicated, there are also more projects for investors to choose from. Not all investors want cash, but also stocks of companies such as Jardine Matheson or Swire. Finally, according to analysis, our current
The shareholding should still be higher than that of Chinese Real Estate!"
After hearing these three pieces of good news, Li Jiacheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he still preached.
"On what basis does the company analyze that our shareholding is larger than that of Chinese Real Estate?"
Sheng Songsheng said, "First of all, we entered the market before Chinese Real Estate, which is the biggest advantage. Secondly, we have already obtained the shares of Ross & Diamond Co., Ltd. in Qingzhou Yingni. Although Chu Huan also has a high possibility of taking
When it comes to the shares of Qingzhou Yingni held by Zhang Yuliang and Yang Yuanlong, plus the data analysis obtained when Qingzhou Yingni's shares were still in circulation.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is finally confirmed that Hefu holds more shares in Qingzhou Yingni than Chinese Real Estate."
Li Jiacheng said, "We still need to prevent accidents. Those people we sent out yesterday afternoon have lost their goals. It is obvious that Chu Huan has some actions that he does not want us to discover. If in the existing Qingzhou Yingni
If one of our shareholders has sold his Qingzhou Yingni shares to the other party, then the other party is likely to overtake us!"
Zhou Qianhe cooperated with the analysis and said, "It's very possible, and this possibility is very high, but I don't think it can be ruled out that Chu Huan is using this matter to confuse our judgment and make wrong choices."
Sheng Songsheng also said, "Old Zhou is right. No matter on any battlefield, the most taboo thing is to be led into the enemy's rhythm. If we keep following Chu Huan's rhythm, we will most likely lose in the end."
With this war.”
Li Jiacheng listened to the analysis of his two major arms, thought for a moment, and said, "Although we cannot let the other party take the lead in this matter, we cannot do without any countermeasures, so that you can speed up the negotiation with Qingzhou Yingni shareholders."
Contact, I’m all about Daniel Cook.”
Sheng Songsheng and Zhou Qianhe nodded. Now that things have come to this point, they have no better choice.
In this way, Chinese Real Estate and Hefu calculated against each other and continued to let time pass slowly while testing each other. During this period, all forces in Hong Kong set their sights on the acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni.
I didn't notice that in other places, two big things happened that were enough to change the development of the two industries.
The first thing is that Langyan Games finally ended the testing of "Donkey Kong" at the end of September. After entering October, this game will be launched in North America.
Chu Huan came to Langyan Game on the morning of the 1st, and the main creators of Langyan Game, Gunpei Yokoi, Shigeru Miyamoto, the production team led by them, and Bao Tianming were all excitedly waiting for Chu Huan in the factory
s arrival.
"Mr. Chu, fortunately, "Donkey Kong" can finally be released!"
Bao Tianming did not report this matter to Chu Huan immediately, but handed over the work to Yokoi Gunpei. He knew that Chu Huan valued Yokoi Gunpei and Miyamoto Shigeru very highly, so he took this opportunity
Gave it to the two of them.
Anyway, according to his relationship with Chu Huan, he doesn't need these things.
Chu Huan, Gunpei Yokoi, and Shigemichi Miyamoto, "Mr. Yokoi and Mr. Miyamoto have suffered a lot from this game during this period. The company has prepared red envelopes for you and other developers, and also given you seven days of vacation. Seven days
After the vacation is over, we will develop new games and other projects.
At the same time, I also hope that within these seven days, you can recruit more talents for the company."
Yokoi Junpei and Miyamoto Shigeru looked at each other, and they both saw joy in each other's eyes. Finally, Yokoi Junpei smiled and said, "Thank you Chu-san. We just want to take advantage of the seven-day holiday to return to Japan. Take the opportunity."
Look at the sales of this game in Japan!”
Chu Huan was naturally very satisfied with the responsible attitude of Gunpei Yokoi and Shigeru Miyamoto, but he still said with a smile, "The main battlefield of the game "Donkey Kong" is in North America, not Japan. Of course,
Yes, the company will definitely promote this game to Japan, but in terms of sales, I don’t think you two have to have high hopes.”
Yokoi Gunpei and Miyamoto Shigeru were both stunned. They did not expect that Chu Huan would say this. The two of them traveled thousands of miles from Japan to Xiangjiang. Although the treatment here was a reason for them to be very satisfied, but
The two of them are the same as Yasuo Kamikura of Fantasy Comics Club.
They also hope to be able to return home in glory, and now this "Donkey Kong" is the basis for them to return home in glory, but they did not expect that Chu Huan actually wants to promote this game to North America.
Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Chu Huan knew what they were thinking, and said with a smile, "You two don't have any regrets. The Wolf Smoke game has just begun, and there will be countless games launched in the future.
, Japan, Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States will all have Langyan Games games, and I can assure you that Langyan Games will definitely write your names into the history of world games!"
Yokoi Gunpei and Miyamoto Shigeru are two game talents that Chu Huan is very optimistic about. They can be directly used after 2000. If Yokoi Gunpei can survive until after 2000 in this era, Chu Huan still has to work hard at this time.
To soothe their restless hearts.
The two of them were just a little regretful that the first game they developed could not be launched directly in Japan for the first time, but they were still very moved when they saw that Chu Huan valued them so much.
"Chu Sang is so polite. Working here, we feel respected and trusted. Please rest assured Chu Sang, we will continue to work hard to serve Langyan Games!"
Yokoi Gunpei preached seriously.
The working environment for Junpei Yokoi and others is indeed very relaxed. Although Bao Tianming is nominally the general manager of Langyan Games, Langyan Games can actually be regarded as two departments, one is the R&D department, and the other is the administrative department.
The department also includes sales, publicity, finance, human resources and other departments. This is Bao Tianming's main battlefield.
Gunpei Yokoi and others belong to the R&D department. In this department, Gunpei Yokoi is the boss. Even Bao Tianming cannot directly order them to do anything. On the contrary, they must ensure their logistics work. It is this loose and respectful approach.
, which made Gunpei Yokoi, Shigeru Miyamoto and the R&D staff feel the greatest respect, and their R&D enthusiasm was also very high.
Of course, whether such a situation will breed the arrogance of these R&D department staff, and how to suppress this arrogance after they have it, is what Bao Tianming needs to worry about.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But no matter what, at this time, Gunpei Yokoi, Shigeru Miyamoto and those R&D talents simply loved the working environment of Langyan Game.
Afterwards, Chu Huan personally met with all the talents in the entire R&D department and handed each of them a big red envelope before returning to the office with Bao Tianming.
"The sales channels in Europe and the United States have been opened, and I have contacted IMC Shipping. The first batch of goods was shipped to Europe and the United States a week ago. Now I am waiting for the time to start selling there!"
During this period, shipping was an important means of transportation for thousands of miles apart. Before this, the game consoles of "Donkey Kong" had been shipped to Europe and the United States through Cao Wenjin's Wanbang Shipping.
"We have two cooperation models with European and American sellers. The first is to sell the machines directly to the other party, with a price of US$1,500 per machine. The second is to operate in a cooperative model, and the company will release the machines for free.
Go to their store and share the profit of each machine sold. According to the company's survey, this model is currently more acceptable to North American sellers, but because such sales will increase our labor costs to a certain extent, although
It can gain long-term profits, but it is not in our development interests in the short term."
Having said this, Bao Tianming paused for a moment, and then said, "Although we have made preliminary contact with European and American sellers, they do not trust us very much. After all, we are a new company, so in the early stage, the entire North America
The order quantity is less than 2,000 units, and Europe is only 2,500 units. But this time we shipped units directly to North America and Europe. And you asked the company to start producing 100,000 game arcade machines now. Is this decision too big?
Taking risks.
Including all costs, this is nearly 100 million US dollars!"
The relationship between Chu Huan and Bao Tianming naturally does not need to be too polite, so Bao Tianming seemed very surprised by Chu Huan's decision. He had already mentioned it to Chu Huan once before, but Chu Huan did not
He didn't agree, and now the matter has been done, but he couldn't help but remind Chu Huan.
The selling price of a "Donkey Kong" is US$2,500. Adding production costs, transportation costs, publicity costs, and sales shares, the profit of a machine is 70.
Of course, such a high-profit business cannot continue for a long time. Just like the sales of video recorders in Kyushu, in the mid-to-late period, such profits will definitely be reduced, and the sales price will also be reduced.
However, according to Chu Huan’s understanding of the game industry, this time period can put Langyan Games at least ten years ahead of other game developers!
Chu Huan said very calmly at this time, "Don't worry, this time the Wolf Smoke game will definitely surprise you. I am sure that this game will be very popular in Europe and the United States. If the game is a big success, the sales of the machine will increase."
There will be a blowout pattern, and by then it will be too late for us to ship goods to Europe and the United States!
Otherwise I wouldn’t have taken out a loan from Sumitomo Bank for this game!”
For the development of the Langyan game, Chu Huan first invested 70 million Hong Kong dollars. These funds were used to build factories, purchase equipment, develop games, and recruit talents. Naturally, it would be enough. If Chu Huan could not produce such a product from the beginning,
More machines are enough.
But when Chu Huan decided to directly increase the number of arcade machines produced, it was no longer enough.
So after Chu Huan came back from Japan and heard Bao Tianming's report, he immediately called Ichiro Isoda of Sumitomo Bank and obtained a loan of US$100 million from Sumitomo Bank using Fantasy Comics Club as the loan subject.
As for why Chu Huan was so anxious to let Langyan Games directly produce so many games, the reason was because of a failed decision by Nintendo in another time and space.
In another time and space, "Space Invaders" became a hit. Nintendo urgently developed a similar game and sent it to North America. As a result, there were problems with transportation. It took four months to travel from Japan to New York.
After Nintendo's games arrived in North America, the day lily was cold, and the popularity of the game also dropped a lot, causing all Nintendo consoles to become inventory in the warehouse.
This incident almost caused Nintendo to go bankrupt. In the end, they developed "Donkey Kong", a rescue game, to save Nintendo from bankruptcy.
With the cooperation of Wanbang Shipping, although it is impossible for Langyan Games' console to arrive in North America in such a long time, the normal situation is that it takes seven days to arrive in North America from Xiangjiang by sea.
But in matters like shipping, no one can guarantee that they will not have any accidents. Even if an accident occurs, you can't ask your future father-in-law for compensation, right?
Therefore, Chu Huan would rather rent warehouses in North America, Europe and other places and ship the game there first, and would not wait too long.
You know, the arcade game "Donkey Kong" was sold out in North America alone. This was at a time when arcade games were already becoming popular.
Now "Donkey Kong" is several years earlier than another time and space, and earlier than the first popular game "Space Invaders", so this one, in Chu Huan's opinion, is the real first batch.
.
But having this machine is enough to give Chu Huan more time.
Seeing that Chu Huan said so confidently, and that the arcade machine had already been shipped, Bao Tianming had no choice but to accept the reality, "I hope everything is as you expected!"
Chu Huan laughed and said, "Don't worry about it tomorrow. When have you ever seen me fight an unprepared battle?"
Bao Tianming thought about Chu Huan's previous successful experience, finally nodded, and then continued, "There is one more thing I want to discuss with you!"
Chu Huan asked, "What happened?"
Bao Tianming said, "We discussed setting up an arcade game room in Hong Kong before. I found that we took it for granted before. Now Wolf Smoke Games only has one game, "Donkey Kong", which cannot support a game room at all. If
The cost of buying other arcade games is too high, so I think we should wait until we develop more games before doing this."
When Chu Huan and Bao Tianming were discussing arcade games, they mentioned the arcade game room. At that time, Bao Tianming proposed that he could invest in his former little brother Skull to do this.
Chu Huan also expressed no objection at the time.
However, the current world of arcade games is still in its infancy. Arcade games are mostly European and American games, and even a dominant game has not yet appeared. Bao Tianming made this decision after thinking for a long time.
Chu Huan glanced at Bao Tianming and asked, "You make the decision on this matter, I have no objection!"
Bao Tianming nodded and said, "I will fly to North America tomorrow. Do you have anything to explain?"
"Donkey Kong" is the first arcade game released by Langyan Games in North America, and Bao Tianming will definitely go to North America in person to work on it.
Chu Huan said, "Pay attention to your own safety. If you have any questions, call Haichao. He still has a certain influence in North America and Europe."
With the success of Jiuzhou around the world, although Chen Haichao is very low-key in Xiangjiang, in North America, Europe and other places, although it cannot be said to be high-profile, it is still better than when he was in Xiangjiang. With Chen Haichao here, Bao Tianming will
There won't be any problems.
"I have already called Haichao before and said that after meeting you today, he will also take the flight to North America tomorrow!"
Bao Tianming said with a smile.
The second thing Chu Huan has to deal with today is actually the matter of the Kyushu Walkman. Like the "Donkey Kong" game, the Kyushu Walkman has been developed and successfully tested and will be officially launched.
Even now in Hong Kong and other places around the world, advertising is already overwhelming.
Just like the previous Jiuzhou video recorder, during the development process of Jiuzhou Walkman, Chu Huan and Chen Haichao had already agreed on the main customer base of this product!
Year old young man!
This will be a trend-setting product, so the methods adopted in the promotion process are also different. For example, the spokesmen invited around the world are all idols of young people.
To put it simply, they are the fresh meat and flowers of various countries.
However, Chu Huan and Chen Haichao wanted to maintain a sense of mystery in Xiangjiang, so Chu Huan no longer wanted to go to Jiuzhou Electronics as before. The place where they met was at the vacant villa in Deep Water Bay.
"Brother Huan, I'm going to North America tomorrow. Is there anything else you want to explain?"
Chen Haichao, Bao Tianming, Liu Pingkui, Zhu Xiaozhao, and Chu Huan were sitting in the living room of the villa. Chen Haichao asked Chu Huan about his explanation for his trip to North America.
Chu Huan chuckled and said, "After the experience of launching Jiuzhou home video recorder, I think I have nothing to explain to you. The launch of Jiuzhou Walkman can be regarded as the first time for you to complete the task of selling a product independently."
Bar!"
Chen Haichao's expression began to become serious. Although he was responsible for the success of Jiuzhou's video recorder series before, in fact, before that, Chu Huan had already formulated a complete sales plan. He was just an executor. Jiuzhou
Although it was successful, Chen Haichao understood that he did not actually play a decisive role in it.
This made Chen Haichao hold back his energy. Now that he heard what Chu Huan said, he immediately cheered up and said to Chu Huan seriously, "Brother Huan, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down!"
"
Chu Huan nodded and said, "Although the sales of Jiuzhou Walkman are very important, you should not delay the research and development of batteries!"
When he decided to make the Jiuzhou Walkman, Chu Huan had already decided to enter the battery industry, so Chu Huan said this.
Chen Haichao nodded slightly and said, "I know!"
After a pause, Chen Haichao continued, "Brother Huan, Brother Audio and Video has completed its global layout. Next, apart from retaining some working capital and R&D funds, Jiuzhou will not have any major expenditures.
Why don't I put October's income into the Swiss bank account of Jiaku Consulting Company?"
Chen Haichao also knew that now was an important moment for Chinese Real Estate and Hefu to compete for Qingzhou Yingni, so he also wanted to contribute to this matter.
When Zhu Xiaozhao and others heard what Chen Haichao said, they all wanted to support Chu Huan, but Chu Huan refused.
"Forget it, just be responsible for your own affairs, especially Kuizai, keep your money to buy property for yourself."
I wish Xiaozhao and the others would stop talking.
Chu Huan then said to Chen Haichao, "I predict that the acquisition war of Qingzhou Yingni will be over in a few days. The funds from Jiuzhou will not be able to help, but now it is as you said.
, Jiuzhou is on the right track. In the future, Jiuzhou’s profits will indeed be the same as those of Langyan Games. The profits will be transferred to Jiaku Consulting Company’s Swiss bank account and then redistributed.”
If others heard this news, they would definitely be disappointed, but Chen Haichao and the others would not. This is why Chu Huan can safely hand over these core companies to them.
"No problem!" After Chen Haichao finished speaking, he said a little worried for Chu Huan, "Just by doing this, will everyone in Jiaku know about our relationship?"
Chu Huan waved his hand and said, "No, Xu Yi will be responsible for this matter personally. My sister-in-law is in charge of it, and no one else will know about it."
After hearing what Chu Huan said, Chen Haichao had nothing to worry about!
