Chapter 310 Foreign Adults’ Knees Can Also Bend

"It's been almost a week. Isn't there a company that has come to consult?"

"Yes, a Neon Game Company asked about it, but because they are not large, the price of 89.2 million may be a bit high for them..."

"Then what? No more follow-up calls?"

"There was a follow-up visit, but after two follow-up visits, the other party stopped answering the phone..."

"Bring a girl! A studio that created billions in just four years now only sells 89.2 million! Are they all blind?"

"Uh, this..."

Friday.

Office of the Vice President of Yunwei Group.

Petain's brows furrowed into a knot, anxious and angry.

It seems that nearly a week has passed since Ubsoft was put up for sale!

But the only manufacturer that was interested in consulting about acquisition matters was a little-known neon company!

This undoubtedly made Pétain, who was mainly responsible for this matter, anxious.

To know!

Due to the collapse-level failure of "High Energy Pioneer", Vivendi is now very dissatisfied with their Yunwei team!

Now, they urgently need to cut expenses and find ways to make up for the big hole of $660 million!

Among the many methods, selling Ubsoft is an important one.

Otherwise, Cornick would not have given this task directly to one of his vice presidents.

But the problem is, judging from the current situation, Ubsoft's move is not going smoothly, and it can even be said that the future is bleak.

UB’s reputation is so bad!

And the price of $89.2 million is really embarrassing.

You may call the price expensive, but it's not expensive at all. For major manufacturers, acquiring a well-established game studio with a history of nearly 20 years for less than 100 million is definitely a good deal.

But the premise is that this manufacturer has good potential, at least, it should not be a mess.

Obviously UB does not meet this requirement, so major manufacturers can afford it, but are not willing to buy it.

But you say this is cheap, and it is indeed a bit expensive. For some small and medium-sized manufacturers, the price of nearly 100 million dollars, although it can be obtained by a company with rich game production experience and more than four years of development experience in a large manufacturer. studio.

But the price is really high and cannot be afforded by small and medium-sized game companies. Moreover, the products are not very good.

To put it bluntly, the current UB is just like the 3070 mining card of Gu Sheng’s previous life in the 40s.

The big guys who can afford it all go to 4090.

Common people who can't afford it would rather let their 1060 fight for another two years than spend money to buy a mining card.

Very embarrassing.

Petain was almost dying of anxiety.

After all, if no company comes to acquire it, they will have no choice but to dismantle UB and sell it.

In this way, although the sales price of personnel will be higher.

but!

Overall, it is far from $89.2 million.

After all, their current investment of more than 89 million dollars is equivalent to a combination package of personnel + copyright.

If you separate people individually and sell them, the price will certainly go up, but how do you sell the copyright?

But don’t think that the copyright in UB’s hands is a piece of cake.

If those junk copyrights that have never appeared in the game market and have not been verified by sales are separated separately, the difficulty of sales will be further increased.

Therefore, what Pétain is looking forward to most now is that someone is willing to pack up this piece of garbage and take it away collectively at a price of 89.2 million, so that it will never appear in front of him again.

But the problem is...

Who would buy it?

"...Someone came to discuss acquisitions! Vice President Petain!"

I am worried!

As there was a knock on the door, another intern secretary of Pétain knocked on the door and brought good news.

"real?!"

heard the words.

Petain stood up suddenly, his eyes flashing with gleaming eyes!

"real!"

The secretary nodded repeatedly with a happy face:

"The two distinguished guests are waiting in the VIP room downstairs of the company, do you think?"

"Go, go, go...go, go, go..."

Petain didn't have time to say anything more. He grabbed his suit jacket and walked hurriedly to the elevator. As he walked, he asked:

"What company is here? Which country is it from? What's its name?"

The clicking sound of high heels followed behind Petain:

"According to the receptionist, these are two VIPs from China. They did not disclose their names or company names, but they said that you must know them."

"China?"

Hearing this, Petain was slightly startled, entered the elevator and smacked his lips secretly.

To be honest, Petain was a little surprised.

You know, today's Chinese gaming circle is quite hostile to Yunwei.

Not only are comprehensive game manufacturers like Yiyou and Xunteng taking advantage of their chaotic cloud power to crazily grab international market share.

What's even more disgusting is that Golden Wind, this medium-sized manufacturer that overestimates its capabilities, secretly played dirty tricks and deliberately set up a trap for them and gave them a fake project, cheating them out of more than 600 million!

And at this moment of tense relations between the two parties, there are actually Chinese manufacturers who are willing to break through the 'blockade' of the Chinese Game Manufacturers Alliance, contact them, and buy Ubsoft, this troublesome burden.

It's really incredible.

Ding!

After thinking about it, the elevator also reached the first floor.

Outside, the receptionist is already waiting:

"President Petain, the VIP is in the lounge, please follow me."

Petain nodded and followed the lead lady's footsteps to the door of the VIP lounge.

Taking a deep breath, he stretched his brows, put on a friendly smile, knocked on the door, and then pushed the door open:

"Welcome to Yunwei, the country of America, my friend Hua Guopeng who came from afar..."

The story is not over!

Petain's voice choked in his throat.

And the accompanying secretary next to him changed his face instantly, his eyes widened!

But see you!

On the large sofa of the VIP, a young man and woman, about twenty-four or five, were sitting at the moment.

The girl was wearing a cream-white coat, lined with a high-collar cashmere sweater, with a round face and big eyes, long, shiny black hair hanging over her shoulders, and a lollipop in her mouth.

The young man is wearing a black tunic suit, short hair, and a handsome face with sharp edges. He is half leaning on the sofa with his legs folded and holding a cigarette with rising smoke in his hand. He looks like a yuppie. Show all.

In a sense, the two people in front of them are indeed Petain's 'old friends'——

Because they are the chairman and CEO of Golden Wind!

Shen Miaomiao! Gu Sheng!

Petain's mind buzzed!

His brows trembled, and his eyes were filled with complex expressions!

There was annoyance, fear, surprise, and incredible in this look!

Chinese manufacturers who want to acquire Ubsoft...

It turned out to be the golden wind? !

call--

Seeing that Pei Dang was frozen in place, Gu Cheng slowly let out a mouthful of smoke, and pointed it directly at Pei Dang's face, without any shyness:

"Mr. Petain, haven't you finished what you just said?"

Petain's face turned green!

Get out!

Get out now!

Thinking of the humiliation of being pointed and scolded at the Golden Wind back then, he couldn't help but want to use the harshest tone to order the two out!

but!

‘Pétain, it is not my order to put Ubsoft up for sale, but Vivendi’s arrangement. If this is not done well, both of us will have to live with it! '

Cornick's voice echoed in his mind.

A long while!

Pei Dancai suppressed a breath of frustration, grinned hard and showed a smile uglier than crying:

"Welcome...you two...come to Yunwei to talk about cooperation...you two...upstairs, please?"

"Mr. Petain doesn't look very good."

Hearing this, Shen Miaomiao stood up:

"Don't worry, we are not here to talk about cooperation, but to talk about acquisitions, please show us around first."

puff--

Petain almost spat out a mouthful of blood!

Those words that were said arrogantly in the golden wind were like a big slap, but now they turned around and slapped him in the face again!

Snap!

Crisp and loud!

The most important thing was that he could only endure this big talker, instead of turning around and walking away like Shen Miaomiao did with a 'shameless' attitude. !

Petain's face turned pale:

"Uh... that's it... Director Shen, what we're here to discuss this time is Ubsoft. I don't think it's necessary to inspect the whole company, right?"

heard the words.

Shen Miaomiao stopped and looked at Lao Gu next to her:

"Yeah too?"

"Um……"

Gu Sheng thought for a moment and nodded:

"It's really not necessary."

"Then let's go."

After saying that, Shen Miaomiao waved her hand!

The two of them walked towards the door of Yunwei Building and walked away!

"Hey! Hey! Two, two, two! Two..."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Petain hurriedly took two steps like a rabbit to catch up with Shen and Gu!

How dare he let the two of them leave like that!

To know!

These two people flew thousands of miles from China to the United States!

No matter how idle they are, they can't come all the way to Yunwei just to slap him in the face!

Since the golden wind is coming, it must be coming with the intention of acquiring it!

If the VIP is taken away just because of a few words, what awaits him then will not only be the rage of his immediate boss, Cornick, but also the sanctions of Vivendi!

See you now!

The veins on Petain's neck popped out and his neck was red from suppressing the pain, but he could only lower his head and gave the two of them a mocking smile:

"Yes...that's it..."

"Because things in the company have been quite busy recently, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to show you the positive side of our company, so..."

"But since you two are willing to visit, please come with me. I will give you a detailed... introduction."

Petain's teeth were almost broken.

humiliation.

Absolute humiliation!

Seeing Petain's 'noble' head lowered under the domineering gazes of himself and little Nezha, Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly.

It seems that the knees of the ‘foreign master’ cannot bend.

Pause for a moment!

Shen Miaomiao nodded slightly, seemingly agreeing to Petain's invitation, but she did not move forward in a hurry, but slowly said:

"Mr. Petain, I am not a person who likes to push back and forth. Now that I can stand here, I think I have made something clear. I hope your company will not waste our time."

"OK, all right--"

Hear this!

It was as if Petain was constipated. The veins on his forehead popped out, and his whole face turned purple from suffocation. He was obviously extremely angry, but he had to swallow it hard!

Shen Miaomiao's words were too harsh!

Although the language is considered civilized, it is only civilized!

Not even polite!

The arrogant words were filled with condescending nobility and unquestionable authority——

I'm here to talk about acquisitions, and I know very well that your Ubsoft can't be sold, so now, I am your God, and you'd better take a closer look and don't be shameless.

From now on.

My rules are rules! ! !

In the subsequent acquisition negotiations, this point was also thoroughly implemented by Shen Miaomiao!

The whole journey!

Gu Sheng almost didn't open his mouth, it was Xiao Nezha who was leading the battlefield all by himself!

"...8920 is too high and does not meet our expectations..."

"Of course you don't have to accept it, but you also need to consider who else will solve this hot potato for you if we don't make the acquisition..."

"You don't need to tell me how much profit UB made in the first four years or how good the financial report was. I only look at it now..."

"...a set of copyrights for a series of novels that have never been market-proven, and an abandoned project that hasn't even been completed?"

"Unlimited potential should be something you talk about later, not now..."

"It's a pity that Mr. Pétain, the 'Neon Company' you mentioned also asked for us, otherwise how would we know about UB's copyright situation..."

"...Yes, from the beginning to the end, we are the only ones in the global game market who are slightly interested in UB..."

"Eight thousand and five thousand? We can't accept... seven thousand and five..."

"Seven thousand eight..."

"Seven thousand and nine..."

Debate and bargaining.

Although it seems that the two parties sitting at the negotiation table are no different from the old men, aunts and small traders haggling in the vegetable market at this moment.

But in fact, the so-called price negotiation is nothing more than that simple and plain.

In fact, negotiations like theirs, which use "ten thousand dollars" as the basic unit, are already considered very high in price negotiations.

Shen Miaomiao once participated in a pharmaceutical price bidding meeting with Lao Shen. It was no exaggeration to say that it was really a wet market in suits and leather shoes, and the bargaining space between the two parties was even accurate to a dime!

That's the real deal!

But now, Shen Miaomiao, who is sitting at the negotiation table, has inherited the excellent genes of old Comrade Shen and shows the heroic spirit of a conglomerate princess at the negotiation table.

Relying on the fact that he was in a buyer's market, he overwhelmed Pétain and his team across from him so much that they couldn't even lift their heads!

For a moment, Gu Sheng actually saw the shadow of Shen Wanlin on little Nezha.

There was a strange feeling that Shen Miaomiao's substitute was her father.

finally!

The two parties reached a consensus at a price of 81.29 million U.S. dollars.

And this is already the lowest price that Yunwei can accept.

Once the price was finalized, everything after that was smooth sailing and fell into place.

"... Our person in charge will take over the following matters, and I hope your company will actively cooperate."

Standing at the door of the Yunwei Group building, Gu Sheng smiled and nodded to the bruised Petain.

The first step in a reverse takeover—take over the old club!

Achieved! ! !
