My Age of Investment

"Mr. Li, Mr. Wu, what are you doing with your luggage? Are you leaving? Is it because we didn't entertain well?"

In a high-end hotel in Seoul, a Korean man in his thirties hurriedly stopped in the corridor, his eyebrows were a little flustered, and his anxious little eyes kept turning around Li Yaozu, Wu Yimin and other members of the acquisition team.

He received the check-out news from the hotel, and rushed from the company without stopping, anxious to find out the truth of the matter.

If the acquisition team really leaves, he needs to do everything possible to keep him, because this is the task assigned to him by the above.

He also knows the general strategy of the president, which is to hope that the four Chinese companies will bid against each other in order to sell Neople at a good price.

The acquirer formed by Envision Capital and Haineiwang was the first to contact their company. It has strong capital and is also the most important potential buyer. If he just left, he would have no way to explain to the president.

"Professor Cui, start-up companies pay attention to efficiency, and time is money. We have been in contact with you for more than half a month, but there has been no substantive breakthrough in the acquisition."

Li Yaozu shrugged and said in a regretful tone: "I'm very sorry, we have to give up this acquisition! Thank you very much for your company's hospitality. When your company comes to China in the future, we will definitely treat you warmly.

Now we are leaving, please don't block our way. "

What Li Yaozu said so straightforwardly made Mr. Cui completely flustered. The latter managed to gather his composure and asked, "Mr. Li, are you really going to give up on this acquisition? You have done so much preliminary work, it's not for nothing." Yet?"

"However, Mr. Xia was very dissatisfied with the progress of this work and reprimanded us severely. At the same time, Mr. Xia questioned your sincerity, thinking that you have no intention of selling the company at all."

Li Yaozu's expression was stern, and his tone was full of indignation. This was not a complete lie, because the erratic behavior of the Koreans really made him very unhappy, and he took this opportunity to vent his unhappiness.

"No, no, we definitely have the intention to sell the company, please rest assured Mr. Li."

Li Yaozu didn't bother to listen to the explanation of the Korean in front of him, he waved his hands, "No need to say more, here today, let's break up together!

Please contact the other three companies, they will definitely continue to play games with you. Vision Capital, as a company with an asset management scale of tens of billions of dollars, we still have many projects waiting to be dealt with.

"

After finishing speaking, Li Yaozu dragged his suitcase and led a mighty group of people around Mr. Cui and walked towards the elevator.

Manager Cui didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly chased after him, panting, "Please wait for a few minutes, and I'll give your opinion back to our president right away."

Li Yaozu glanced at his silent deputy Wu Yimin, who nodded slightly.

Then the acquisition team waited at the elevator entrance, and Executive Cui ran to an unknown corner to secretly make a phone call.

"Old Wu, what do you think?" Having been together for nearly a month, Li Yaozu and Wu Yimin have become acquainted with each other a lot, and their names are more casual.

Wu Yimin sneered, and glanced into the corridor, "Mr. Xia is really right, you can't spoil this group of sticks, they belong to the dyeing workshop for some paint."

Li Yaozu chuckled, watching the performance of this executive Cui, he knew that the matter was halfway, which showed that the sticks still attached great importance to their acquisition team.

After a while, Executive Cui came back in a hurry and said, "Our president hopes to meet with you."

Seeing that Li and Wu were silent, Executive Cui hurriedly added another sentence: "It's about the acquisition, and I will give you a clear answer today."

Li Yaozu and Wu Yimin went to Neople Company with Mr. Cui without anyone else.

As soon as they arrived at the place, the two directly confronted Xu Min, CEO of Neople, with a very tough attitude and a hint of impatience.

"President Xu, I won't say anything unnecessary. If you still say the same thing as before and let us wait, then there is no need to talk about it. We don't bother to change the ticket."

Xu Min couldn't understand Chinese, and while listening to Cui's translation, while looking at the expressions of Li and Wu, he already had a judgment in his heart.

"Talk, let's talk tomorrow. You will talk with Shanda, Penguin, and Ninetowns. Since you have decided to sell the company, I naturally hope to get the most ideal transaction price. I hope the two gentlemen will understand."

After finishing speaking, Xu Min waited for Executive Cui to translate to them, while observing their expressions.

"We need to ask Mr. Xia for instructions!"

After obtaining consent, Li Yaozu and Wu Yimin went to the vacant conference room next door to make a phone call.

After a while, the two came back.

Li Yaozu said: "After talking for so long and consuming so much energy, we don't want to give up easily. We can talk again, but we must come to a result tomorrow."

Xu Min nodded while listening to the translation. It seems that his judgment is correct. This Chinese company actually values ​​their company very much.

This made him feel a little complacent. Tomorrow, he would be able to sit and watch four Chinese companies fighting each other.

To tell you the truth, only Chinese bigots are willing to pay hundreds of millions of dollars to acquire their company. It’s not that the Korean consortium and game peers have not quoted prices to them, but they are far from Chinese companies.

"In order to prevent wrangling, Mr. Xia specially ordered that the four parties can bid tomorrow, but the relevant agreement must be signed, and all parties must pay a deposit of 20 million US dollars, which will be supervised by a third party and will be refunded after the bidding ends."

Xu Min looked at Li Yaozu in confusion, and asked, "What does this mean? To prevent other companies from making random bids and not paying in the end?"

Li Yaozu nodded, "Yes, if they are unwilling to pay the performance bond, what does that mean? It means they are not sincere.

This is also beneficial to Neople, which can identify who is the real interested acquirer. "

Xu Min thought about it for a while, and nodded to express that he could accept it.

On the same day, Penguin, Shanda, and Ninetowns all received news from Neople, signed an agreement, and paid a deposit of 20 million US dollars, and then the four Chinese companies will bid in the same field tomorrow.

After hearing the news, Tang Jun and Zhu Jun didn't dare to neglect, they came to the hotel where Liu Zhiping was staying, ready to discuss an explanation.

"Mr. Liu, what do you say now? Is Penguin helping us pay for the 20 million US dollars? Or what?" Jun Zhu asked casually.

"What do you mean? Penguin digging? Mr. Zhu, you are joking!" Liu Zhiping shook his head again and again, feeling very absurd in his heart.

Jun Zhu laughed and said, "It was you Penguin who initiated the alliance with us, right? It was you who made it possible for us to come to Korea together, right?

At that time, you said that Hainei.com was rising rapidly and the threat was great. In addition, the three of us were interested in representing DNF. Why not work together to squeeze Hainei.com away, and then the three of us will compete for the agency rights of DNF.

We did it according to your plan!

But now, Hainei.com is not crowded out, and we will bid together tomorrow. How can we answer Neople? You have to give an explanation! "

Liu Zhiping also feels a headache now, originally he planned to make a game to force Haineiwang to leave.

But he seemed to have underestimated Haineiwang's determination. The other party made it clear that they wanted to fight them.

"Otherwise, let's pay the 20 million US dollars, and everyone will carry the sedan chair for Haineiwang together tomorrow?" Liu Zhiping asked tentatively.

Tang Jun shook his head, "I don't have this authority. The task Mr. Chen entrusted to me is to cooperate with you to see if we can win the agency right of DNF, and the abort of Hainei.com's acquisition plan is incidental."

Zhu Jun sneered, "I understand what you mean, Mr. Liu, but if it goes wrong, at least 500 million US dollars, who will pay? Even if the acquisition is finally abandoned, the 20 million US dollars deposit will not be returned."

Liu Zhiping was annoyed, a smart woman can't live without rice, if Penguin has strong capital, he would go all out and make a fool of himself.

Now that the two allies have backed down, the Penguin family can't support it alone, and they don't dare to spend 20 million US dollars to add congestion to the domestic network.

"Think about it, it's only been a long time since the Hainei game department was born, and it has already launched three casual games that have become popular all over the Internet. Now they are starting to play online games again, and they are selling hundreds of millions of dollars. Their determination is not small!

If we let it go, the overseas network will become a serious problem for you and me in the future. "

Jun Zhu sneered and said, "Mr. Liu, I think your penguin's confidant's serious problem is almost the same, and the game is not so easy to play."

"The game market is so big, if Haineiwang wins more pieces, we will lose one piece, and the game DNF is very good, enough for Haineiwang to gain a foothold in the online game field. In the future, it will be used as a springboard to subvert the domestic game market structure.

Your two companies rank among the best in the domestic game market, and bear the brunt of it! "

Hearing what Liu Zhiping said, Jun Zhu gradually suppressed the smile on his face, and sighed, "These are all speculations, what I want is the agency right of DNF, and the possibility of getting it now is not great. We just have to quit."

Tang Jun nodded, "That's right, it's impossible for Hainei.com to subvert whoever it says it wants to subvert. Mr. Liu, you are too alarmist. We actually know the grievances between Penguin and Hainei.com, and we understand some of your thoughts.

But, now things can't be done, don't hold on! "
