Chapter 215 Warner preparing to cut meat
The fierce competition in the electronics industry is far beyond the imagination of the people who eat melons, and a company with annual sales of up to one billion US dollars is on the verge of bankruptcy.
To say that Warner is still a big family, a little less strength may be the end of the calf.
No one is talking about Warner one size smaller now, and the things you have, William White has them, and they're better than you.
There is really not much time left for them, facing the world of legends is one way, and selling directly to William White is another option.
Not surprisingly, after the change of CEO, although the relationship between the two families is not harmonious, it is no longer hostile.
William White played the routine, in fact, many people understand it, after eating the fattest piece of interest, the legendary world is not bad, the fight between you is life and death, people don't care.
As for the development of a new system, Atari may have this kind of plan, Warner will never do this, 2600 has already spent more than 100 million, and now it is just barely recouping, if another 100 million is thrown, it is estimated that the board of directors will be noisy.
"What? Are you sure?"
"Yes, bosses, they have the will to sell in their entirety. ”
"Tsk, the company is too big, why do I need so many people?"
"We refuse?"
"I can't afford it, they can develop new games, our system is much better, and we can buy our production license. ”
"Okay, boss, I'll go get back to them. ”
"Well, if they have the capacity, they can help me produce half a million game consoles, and forget about the acquisition, I don't like factories. ”
William White is really not interested in buying the mess of Atari, they are not dead yet, and they will need at least 500 million US dollars.
As for whether it is cost-effective or not, it depends on your perspective, a year ago, a billion US dollars was considered a cheap sale, but now? 500 million US dollars is not a very good deal.
If William White had a state-owned factory in Mi, this acquisition would still be more appropriate. Atari's programming team is not boastful, there are far more people than the legendary world, and the technical level is much higher.
The crux of the problem is that no matter how many people you code, it's useless, the game is related to the size of the brain, and there is no suitable game plan, no matter how good the programming level is, it will be given in vain.
Warner was planning to cut the meat, but William White didn't want to expand his family's property.
"Boss, they refused, it's not about the price, it's probably the damn reason. ”
"Tsk, I don't like factories so much, why do you want to build a car factory. ”
The old guy actually thinks too much, how to compare the scale of the car factory with Atari, the staff is much less.
Da Mo knew that William White wanted an IPO, so there was no need to say anything about money. As one of the shareholders of Legendary World, they know the company's situation very well, and in their opinion, this acquisition is excellent, and it would be good to package it for listing, anyway, it is all shareholders' money, what's the big deal.
"Is it really just the guild?"
"I'm afraid not, according to the legend of the outside world, the added value of this game console is too low, there is no need to produce it in the United States, if possible, they prefer to process it in backward areas. ”
The added value is too low?
The old guy could only be speechless, do you know what the average profit margin of the industry is now, and these things of yours have far exceeded this standard.
Can you still be dissatisfied?
That's the conclusion when you compare it to other companies, of course, but when you compare it to William White's own business, these consoles are really nothing.
The contradiction between the investment bank and the founder is here, making the plate bigger is the first choice of the investment bank, the decline in gross profit margin is not considered at all, you are not a mature enterprise, and high growth is the most fooling people.
This year's revenue is 500 million, and next year's best is 1.5 billion, even if the profit is 100 million US dollars, they will definitely choose the latter.
William White's approach seemed stupid to them.
What the hell is selling licenses?
Although this money is making a good profit, it has given up a very important indicator, if the product OE, the revenue will increase at least five times.
In their opinion, William White's brain circuits are not normal, and the company that is going to IPO next year will naturally have as much revenue as possible.
I have to say that they think too much, this simple truth, William White doesn't understand, those foot basin manufacturers, it is difficult to launch their own brand of game consoles before June next year.
The orders of Legend World are very large, and it is difficult for them to judge the capacity of the market, and after the order is completed, they will produce again, and the stock of Legend World will be listed in the morning.
People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, this sentence is still very reasonable, William White's fat pig is so fat that he wants to come up and take a bite.
William White doesn't care about Da Mo's situation, this is a reasonable request of shareholders, everyone's interests are the same, even if he doesn't agree, he won't speak ill of him.
A bunch of consortia are actually very painful, investing in William White's company has made them a small fortune, but they want to make more, so they pry Warner to cut the meat.
Warner knows very well that the only person who has the ability to take over Atari may be William White, and although it was not negotiated this time, it was not without gain.
At least one thing, William White was courting favor and didn't want to fight Warner to the end.
Well, the mess left by the predecessor is simply too bad, and judging by the current situation, it is clearly not the responsibility of William White.
In the elite class of the United States, William White can be described as having a mixed reputation, some people like him, and naturally some people hate him.
The same thing is that this guy is definitely not easy to mess with, and he is very cautious, and he has never been right about people.
Lucas is the obvious list, the investment in the Raiders of the Lost Ark movie, William White obviously made a wedding dress, but have you seen people go crazy?
It's not over!
Instead of becoming an opponent with Lucas, there was a lot of cooperation.
Is there really only one special effects company?
No kidding, the success of Industrial Light & Magic was created by Star Wars, and William White, who was cheated once, didn't seem to care.
From this point, it can be seen that don't play those shady things, people really don't care much about gains and losses.
Knock on the trick of renegotiation, the consortium is no longer needed, this kind of pressure is not very good for William White, you might as well talk to him, maybe there will be a good harvest.
As for the bitter Citigroup, no one cares about their feelings, you actually want to eat alone, you want to blind your heart, if you dare to stir up next year's IPO, it is almost inevitable to be attacked by the group.
You can't even pack up a little guy, and you dare to say anything about the first investment bank.
Well, this first did not last long, although everyone knows that Citi will recover soon, but so what, this year's big guy, I'm afraid there will be a few good days.
Of course, William White has also been criticized by many people, and your methods are too fucked up, and you can still come up with a trick for a power outage, which is not something to be encouraged.
Of course, Citi is also very excessive, it is not impossible to lend to Tuao, what does it mean that you keep the interest so low?
Doing something?
Well, you succeeded.
