Chapter 505 MADEINHEAVEN! Let acquisitions accelerate here!
Things have been getting worse and worse recently.
With bloodshot eyes, Carter Walker looked at the latest financial report sent by his assistant this morning and fell into unprecedented panic and even confusion.
To some extent, he has been sleepless for more than 72 hours.
Maybe he briefly squinted for two or three hours in the meantime, but now that he was dizzy, he couldn't remember it at all.
Today, Huanmeng’s market value has fallen below the bottom, with the latest valuation remaining at only 11.5 billion U.S. dollars.
Moreover, the house leaked when it rained all night.
Judging from the latest report, a company based in Poland is using a huge amount of funds to frantically acquire small and medium-sized shares of their dreams.
Obviously, this company from Poland is going to forcefully acquire them.
The company's market value has declined day by day, small and medium-sized shareholders have left the market, equity ownership has changed widely, and there is even capital to conduct hostile takeovers of them...
All this was within Carter Walker’s expectation.
What he didn’t expect was that the company that launched a massive acquisition campaign for them turned out to be an unknown company.
Poland?
When he first saw this territory, Carter Walker thought it was Aurora Games’ efforts and was preparing to incorporate them under its banner.
But the problem is that after some investigation, this acquisition company has nothing to do with Aurora Games.
It doesn’t even have anything to do with the “game industry”!
According to the information they currently have, this is a technology venture capital company established ten years ago.
The company has never been large in scale. Most of the projects it has invested in before were in mobile communication technology. The overall investment projects are neither large nor small, and the company's business development is also tepid.
But it is such a little-known, mediocre company.
This time, we are targeting them.
Although Carter Walker was dizzy, he was not completely confused.
This doesn’t make sense?
He really didn’t understand.
You should know that generally speaking, hostile takeovers will only target companies that have made great progress in their own fields and have good room for development.
After all, the purpose of acquisitions is to make money. If a loss-making company acquires a company, it will be too late to escape.
Of course, he can also guess that the Polish company acquired them in order to obtain the freshly released Fantasy VI technology in their hands.
But the problem is...
Not to mention that the acquisition-initiating company has never been involved in the gaming industry.
Just talking about the current reputation of Fantasy VI, it seems that it is not enough to make people salivate.
After all, everyone is now saying that their Dream VI and augmented reality technology is—
…
“...garbage, garbage that cannot be put on the table.”
Neon.
Comela Chairman’s Office.
“Originally developing in a direction that already has a relative disadvantage is to achieve twice the result with half the effort, not to mention that the final effect is not satisfactory,”
As he spoke, Itosuke pushed the brewed oolong tea to the fat white man opposite him with a shiny face:
“Please, Mr. Cornick.”
good!
Just when Huanmeng is in dire straits and exhausted!
Knick, the chief executive of Yunwei, who had originally spoken the cooperation between the two sides and had a close relationship, had gone to Dongjin, and started to negotiate with Kmeila.
“Mr. Cornick couldn’t have made the right decision,”
Itosuke smiled and said:
"It is better to get out of the mud in time than to lose more resources. Surviving with a broken arm is commendable for courage..."
Itosuke’s words were very cool.
Even with a bit of sarcasm that adds insult to injury.
It is true that although Yunwei and Comela are both now affiliated with Vivendi Capital, they are theoretically "brotherly" companies.
But in fact, the overt and covert fighting between the two factions has never stopped, and they are always competing behind closed doors.
After all, both are giant companies and are leaders in Vivendi's game industry layout.
Whoever performs better will naturally win more awards and receive more resources.
So, it is not surprising that Itosuke’s face is like this.
It was a hard time for Kaunik.
Having spent half of his life showing off his power, he was defeated by his "siblings".
Fucking bastard, you have found the opportunity to ridicule and ridicule, right...
Cornick slandered, secretly cursing Ito for helping the villain succeed.
But there is no good solution.
Who makes Huan Meng, a loser, so unsatisfactory!
The situation was originally very good!
The blockade and price increase were implemented in one go. They could have covered the sky with one hand!
But in the end, the success fell short!
Nowadays, Fantasy has been abandoned by their true "prestige system".
As Carter Walker thought.
From the beginning, Fantasy was nothing more than a **** in Cornick's hands.
Use it if you can; throw it away if you can’t.
Although there is some loss, it is not a serious injury.
As for fantasy...
What does it matter whether we live or die?
"But it is said that some companies are now acquiring their equity, and the momentum is very strong,"
Hearing this, Itosuke said:
“Is there something fishy about this?”
Tearing force returns to tearing force.
The two are, after all, grasshoppers on the same line. Where there is concern, Itosuke will naturally show his keen sense of smell in time.
“Chairman Ito doesn’t have to worry about this,”
After taking a sip of tea, Cornick waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to worry about it:
“We have noticed this since it started to appear,”
“After all, it stands to reason that investors would be afraid to avoid such a company that is in the midst of a steep decline,”
“But after our investigation and understanding,”
“The acquisition is just a tepid ordinary investment group. It has never been involved in the game industry before and has no connection with game-related industries.”
“I guess I’m trying to pick up a big leak,”
“Greater interests and stakes attract them like the light of a lamp to moths,”
“Perhaps Chairman Ito is a little unfamiliar with this situation, but in fact, this kind of thing happens every day in the world of capital,”
“There are countless moths buried in the sea of fire,”
“As long as it has nothing to do with the gaming industry, we don’t have to worry.”
Listened to what Cornick said.
Itosuke shrugged in acquiescence.
Who is Cornick? What kind of group is Yunwei?
When it comes to hostile takeovers and capital operations, looking at the game technology industry, how many people are more familiar with it than them?
This thing is Yunwei's specialty!
Since Cornick has said this, there is no need for him to worry anymore.
Thinking of this, Itosuke nodded.
That’s the nod.
Huanmeng’s “Prestige Dis ally” has completely and ruthlessly abandoned him.
“In this regard, Mr. Kaunike is more professional, and I just worry too much,”
As he spoke, Itosuke felt relieved, waved his hand and said with a smile:
“It’s hard to imagine why a technology investment group would—”
…
“Information changes?”
Just one week later!
Carter Walker finally had a peaceful sleep.
Just yesterday, as one of the major shareholders holding 12% of Fantasy shares, Leila Capital, a well-known game technology industry investment group, announced its withdrawal of shares.
That mysterious and pretentious Polish investment company finally took complete initiative with 30% of the shares and was ready to launch a takeover bid for Fantasy.
At that moment, all the anxiety and panic finally settled and turned into a sigh of helplessness.
Nine months.
A nightmare-like experience.
The Dream Engine, which was once all-powerful and prosperous, and was called the "promising flagship" by many industry media, eventually fell into the sad end of being trapped in a cocoon.
Very dramatic and fast.
Perhaps when their market value reached 20 billion, no one would have thought that such a game technology group would fall into irreparable despair in less than a year.
Seeing his own market being carved up, his own flesh and blood being eaten away, he eventually became a withered skeleton in a grave.
One day you are rich, the next you are ruined.
Wall Street has never believed in longevity.
The so-called market value is all fictitious. Once the collapse begins, it will be like a building falling over and it will be difficult to recover.
Perhaps it didn’t take too long for Huanmeng to seize the opportunity and increase its value wildly from the establishment of the group, just a few years.
But once the illusory bubble bursts, collapse and disillusionment will obviously hit faster.
《Dreams become illusions! The stock price of Fantasy Engine continues to fall, and the rate of decline is jaw-dropping! 》
《The past is gone! Fantasy's overall stock price collapsed, and Vivendi was silent on this! 》
《Major shareholder announced his departure! Laila Capital withdraws shares, making dreams worse! 》
《The mysterious company has taken over Laila Capital and holds more than 30% of the shares. What does it intend to do? 》
"From Beloved to Abandoned Son: Nine Months of Fantasy Nightmare"
Helping reports and news are pouring in one after another.
Oh no, it’s not “badmouthing” to be precise.
After all, the dire situation of Fantasy no longer requires any exaggeration.
Carter Walker, who had no one to rely on, finally chose to accept this irreversible situation.
After all, he just doesn’t accept it and has no other choice.
But it’s strange to say so.
When all hopes were shattered, as the helmsman of the company, he felt a lot more calm.
Carter Walker, who had slept for a full twelve hours, felt much better now.
Wearing a formal suit is because the mysterious Polish company will arrive in the United States today and issue an acquisition invitation to them.
Soon, the secretary informed that the other party’s negotiator had arrived in the conference room.
Carter Walker also nodded, took a long breath, stood up and headed to the conference room.
However!
Just as he opened the office door and walked towards the conference room!
An assistant ran over and informed him that just now, the Polish company had issued an announcement announcing an information change!
The latest news brought by the assistant made Carter Walker feel a little dazed and his steps slowed down a little:
"...You mean...the Polish company that is going to make an acquisition invitation to us has just made a change in information? What kind of change is it? Is it a shareholder? Or some high-level personnel change?"
“Uh…neither,”
The assistant shook his head, looking confused, and handed the information to Carter Walker:
“They changed the company’s slogan and...the name of the company.”
Hear the words!
Carter Walker, who received the information, frowned and muttered in confusion:
“Visual rendering”
“Physical calculation”
"AI"
“sound echoes”
"network"
“Safe and secure”
“Augmented reality…”
Speaking of which!
The conference room door is open!
Carter Walker’s eyes finally fell on the name of this mysterious Polish company—!
【MADEINHEAVEN】
Made in heaven!
And the next moment!
The representative of Made in Paradise, who had been waiting for a long time, slowly stood up and said:
“Good morning, Mr. Carter Walker, our time is limited,”
“Let’s speed up the acquisitions.”
