Chapter 296 Mr. Shen! hard! (Additional update for the leader of the Death King Huxi Alliance)
Speaking of which!
Even Sarah—a vice president who doesn’t understand games at all, or even the game industry—couldn’t help but be moved by the crazy profits.
Nearly 10 billion in two years.
Such a terrifying profit is even worth taking the risk!
Besides.
Merging and acquiring a medium-sized gaming company in China does not involve much risk.
but…
“Are you sure?”
The lady Sarah asked.
"hehe,"
Seeing Kaunike smile slightly:
“As we all know, Golden Wind is now preparing an FPS masterpiece called “OverWatch”,”
“As long as we can convince them to launch a listing, accept investment, and formally integrate with international standards,”
"Then I have 100% confidence that it will never fail to acquire them."
This is not just empty talk from Kaulnick.
As long as Goldwind dares to go public, it will be easy to win Goldwind with the backing of the wealthy Yunwei-Vivendi Company.
What?
Is there China's top financial group Shen Capital behind the golden wind?
So what?
Do you think Vivendi, a huge conglomerate across Europe and the United States, is just doing nothing?
As long as the income is greater than the investment cost, it doesn’t matter whether you are Shen Capital, Zhang Capital or Li Capital, no one can stop us!
Speaking of this, Sarah nodded:
“Okay…then…”
“If they insist not to go public, how should we respond?”
good.
You know, whether it’s Cornick’s confidence or his plan.
All of this has a premise -
That is the listing of Golden Wind and the release of equity!
Because only in this way, they, Yunwei-Vivendi, can successfully acquire Golden Wind through the acquisition of equity.
But the question is, what if Gold Wind is really determined not to go public?
“Then we will force them to go public,”
Cornick raised his eyebrows slightly:
"or…"
…
“Direct acquisition.”
on Monday!
It’s just the third week of the “Golden Bull Challenge” being successfully held!
Charlie Pétain, who came all the way from the United States, led a "collaboration team" of up to seven people and arrived at Binjiang, China, and came to the Golden Wind.
Before getting off the car and entering Golden Wind Company!
Charlie Pétain, who is leading the team this time, as Cornick’s right-hand man and the vice president of Yunwei Group, told his team this.
And them!
That's what Gu Sheng said - trouble.
As early as last week, a business call from Yunwei made Gu Sheng feel that something was wrong.
The first time he heard the name Vivendi was three years ago. At that time, he had just traveled through time and was still in the stage of understanding the game industry model and related companies in this world.
Gu Sheng still remembered that when he heard this name, he trembled and secretly thought something was wrong.
Vivendi, Vivendi.
Thinking back to that time, in his previous life before he traveled back in time, this company was notorious in the gaming circle.
The most sensational case was the hostile takeover suffered by his old club, Ubisoft.
But in the end, with the efforts of all players and Penguin’s intervention, Ayu finally survived the hostile takeover and regained its autonomy.
Now, the call about "business cooperation" between Yunwei and Vivendi only made Gu Sheng feel creepy.
And after he checked the information, he found that the chairman and CEO of Yunwei actually called Kaunik the **** dog.
This unpleasant feeling reached its peak in an instant.
The infamous Vivendi + the top beast Cornick.
Tsk tsk.
Even Gu Sheng couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
No wonder Yunwei-Vivendi can become the world's leading "successful" game super company.
With these two things together, nothing can be accomplished.
If any company falls into their hands, I'm afraid it will become the 30 series graphics card of the "mining era", and the highlight will be terrible.
However, although Gu Sheng had expressed his unwillingness to accept any form of investment sponsorship on the phone, Yunwei was so shameless that he insisted on "talking about cooperation" in the name of "friendly exchanges and inspections."
Helping, Gu Sheng had no choice but to reluctantly accept the other party's request and 'welcome' Yunwei - Vivendi on behalf of Golden Wind to come for 'inspection'.
“…I’ve heard the name of President Petain for a long time. My name is Gu Sheng, and this is our president, Ms. Shen Miaomiao.”
Early in the morning, Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao came to the door of the company to greet the Yunwei team.
“Hello Mr. Gu, hello Ms. Shen,”
Seeing this, Petain stretched out his hand and gently shook hands with Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao, smiling slightly but not smiling:
“Then show us.”
As soon as this statement came out.
Gu Sheng couldn't help but frown secretly.
What is the occasion?
Business inspections and cooperation negotiations.
When you work, you should address yourself to your duties.
Although this statement may sound like a joke now, there is no doubt that it applies to everyone.
Especially when the two parties meet for the first time.
Moreover, Mr. Pétain, who looks slender and delicate, like a small pole, seems unwilling to use too many honorifics.
He started by saying, "Show us."
That casual attitude and tone are really a bit uncomfortable.
Gu Sheng doesn't think he is a naturally rude guy.
Otherwise, you can find the chairman of the board of directors of Vivendi and see if he still has this attitude?
This person looks down upon them from the very beginning.
Gu Sheng frowned secretly and turned to Xiao Nezha.
He wanted little Nezha to go back to the office.
Since you don’t want to show shame, then we don’t need to be polite to you.
Our president has other things to do, so we don’t have time to entertain your tour group. I, the vice president, can handle you as well as you can.
However, before he can speak!
I heard the little Nezha next to me say:
“Mr. Gu, please take them around for a while, sit in the leisure area or something, and feel the atmosphere of our golden style,”
“I have a small meeting, let’s discuss it in detail in the conference room in twenty minutes.”
Say it.
Shen Miaomiao raised her lips and made a smiley expression, then turned around and walked away!
ˆOHHHHHHH—! !
Gu Sheng exclaimed in his heart and called frantically.
Mr. Shen! hard!
But think about it, what kind of family does he come from, and who is Shen Wanlin?
Since I don’t want to show my face, there is no need to be polite to you.
Shen Miaomiao deliberately said what she just said in English!
The purpose is to make this little Pedang understand every word!
As expected!
Seeing Shen Miaomiao casually leave after saying a few words, Petain's face turned dark at that moment!
“Ms. Shen... is busy with official duties? We are honored to be able to greet you at the door despite your busy schedule.”
Pétain looked a little confused and wanted to make amends.
Unexpectedly, Gu Sheng was not a good person. He waved his hand and smiled:
“Haha, it’s just a small meeting at the head office. Please come with me.”
What the hell…
It’s okay if Gu Sheng doesn’t last any last hits.
The knife struck, and with a pop, Petain's face turned even darker.
Regular meeting?
Why the **** did we, a business negotiation team that came all the way from the United States and belong to the world's largest comprehensive game manufacturer Yunwei-Vivendi, get kicked out just because of a small regular meeting?
Pétain’s Adam’s apple moved up and down.
Apparently he swallowed his saliva with great difficulty.
From the bottom of his heart, he looked down upon the Golden Wind.
Yes, you are in the limelight now, but so what?
Think about which of the manufacturers we acquired back then were not very prosperous for a while?
In other words. Companies that we can take a fancy to and decide to acquire and acquire are all leaders in their fields, and even in their era!
A medium-sized game company that started from scratch in less than three years.
To put it bluntly, if it weren’t for the fact that the golden wind is now so powerful, it has too much momentum.
With their small size, Yunwei-Weiwangdi would not even look at them.
Pétain indeed has the capital to set his sights high.
Without thinking, Shen Miaomiao directly hit him with a soft nail.
Although Pétain kept his voice secretly, he was secretly angry.
Looking at you later and being acquired, you still won’t look like this.
Thinking about it!
Led by Gu Sheng, the group also circled around the Golden Wind Company.
While walking to the [Golden Experience Project Department], Petain couldn’t help but stop:
“Mr. Gu, why don’t you invite us in to see your working environment?”
Pétain is quite curious about the “Overwatch” project that Golden Wind is currently working on.
With one more look, you might be able to learn more about their current progress and increase bargaining chips for future negotiations.
Pétain took the initiative to ask for a visit.
Generally speaking, a game company like Golden Wind would not refuse such a request from him, who is the vice president of Yunwei.
More accurately, he will not refute his face.
ttle
Unexpectedly, Gu Sheng didn't give him any face at all. He smiled as he should:
“The development process is kept confidential, can Mr. Pétain understand it?”
…
“I don’t understand,”
In the conference room, Pétain’s face almost turned eggplant color:
“We at Yunwei alone are willing to invest US$180 million, plus US$300 million from Vivendi Ventures,”
“The investment of nearly 500 million yuan, which far exceeds the total value of your company, only accounts for 23% of the equity,”
“Is such a condition...really worth hesitation?”
Pétain did not understand.
I don’t **** understand!
500 million dollars! Nearly 3.5 billion yuan!
After that, you don’t need to worry about the entire listing procedures and processes. You only need to go to Nasdaq and ring the bell!
But such a generous condition only requires you to nod and agree to the listing, and agree that Yunwei-Vivendi United Company will be a shareholder and hold 23% of the equity!
Three and a half billion!
What is the market value of your company?
Pétain is very clear that, generally speaking, a company's disposable liquid assets account for 30%-40% of the company's total assets.
Not long ago, Golden Wind successfully promoted itself to a medium-sized game company with disposable assets of over 1 billion yuan.
In other words, today, their company’s total assets are valued at about 2.5-3 billion.
Our one round of investment only requires 23% of your equity, but we will give you a full investment of 3.5 billion!
What else do you want?
Pétain's face was livid, even a little purple.
This is enough to create another Golden Wind!
Then you build it, what do you want us to do?
Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao looked as usual, even smiling.
The two looked at each other and saw Gu Sheng smiled:
“Mr. Pétain, this condition is indeed not worthy of hesitation.”
Hearing this, Petain's eyes lit up, and a glimmer of hope seemed to ignite in his pupils.
“Because we have stated from the beginning that the company will not be listed.”
A basin of ice water turned Petain into a drowned rat.
Shen Miaomiao waved the shovel and covered two handfuls of soil:
“We accept your company’s wishes, but this is not a question of money.”
Hear the words.
The two sides were silent for a moment, and exchanged glances with the accompanying people:
“So…what if we think differently?”
"oh?"
Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly:
“What is Mr. Pétain referring to?”
“Eight hundred million?”
Pétain said:
“Eight hundred million dollars, we are launching in-depth cooperation, and we will be responsible for providing more favorable conditions including IP operation, follow-up development capital investment, personnel recruitment and expansion, etc.”
Wow.
Gu Sheng couldn't help but marvel at this grandson's mouth.
That’s really nice to say.
IP operation, capital investment, personnel recruitment.
What a beautiful word.
But Gu Sheng could just read the words "IP plundering", "interfering with development" and "personnel reorganization" between the words!
Dog Day, see if we are not ready to prepare, right?
You are really rich and ready to buy our company directly, right?
In fact, theoretically speaking, Yunwei-Vivendi can really buy their golden wind in this way.
Because according to Chinese laws and regulations, subsidiaries have independent legal personality. When the subsidiary's equity is transferred, a resolution of the parent company's shareholders' meeting is not required. As long as it complies with legal regulations and the company's articles of association, the equity can be transferred.
Yunwei clearly understood this, so he raised the price so unscrupulously and was ready to use the money to pimp them out.
Shen Miaomiao felt speechless.
800 million dollars is certainly tempting, but in that case, all the company’s decision-making power will be taken away by Yunwei.
Don’t say that Lao Gu can’t be the manager.
In future projects, even her so-called ‘president’ will succumb to the will of Yunwei Group.
Shen Miaomiao really didn't know what to say, so she sneered in a somewhat dumbfounded way:
“Mr. Pétain, I said, this is not about money...”
“Nine hundred million knives!”
Before Shen Miaomiao could finish speaking, Petain interrupted her and raised his eyebrows pointedly:
“Nine billion, Ms. Shen, it’s not easy to be a female CEO.”
Shen Miaomiao was stunned.
Then, the smile on his face gradually sank: "Mr. Pétain, I reiterate..."
“One billion!”
Once again, Shen Miaomiao was not given a chance to finish her sentence!
Pétain spoke again!
But this time, the smile on Pétain's face slowly disappeared, and he slowly spoke with a "serious heart":
“Ms. Shen, Mr. Gu, I hope you two will think about it carefully,”
“A medium-sized game company, worth one billion dollars, with a total acquisition price of more than seven billion yuan,”
“Let alone China, even if we look at the whole world, it is unprecedented,”
“And the reason why we at Yunwei-Vivendi are like this is because we admire your company’s creativity and are optimistic about your company’s development potential,”
“Two people…”
Speaking of this.
Pétain hugged his shoulders and finally stopped pretending. He raised his head slightly and looked condescendingly at Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao opposite:
“Golden Wind is good, but it’s still too weak after all,”
“especially…”
“In front of a joint company of the level of Yunwei-Vivendi.”
Silence.
Long silence.
Long time!
Seeing Gu Sheng opposite him, he took a deep breath, then sighed softly, and shook his head, feeling helpless.
Looking like a blessing rather than a curse.
As for Shen Miaomiao, she slightly raised the corners of her mouth with a warm look.
In simple clothes, Pétain also put on a smile again: "Ms. Shen has figured it out..."
But this time!
Before he finished speaking!
Seeing Shen Miaomiao lightly opening her thin lips, smiling, and exhaling fragrance:
“Get out.”
