Chapter 973: A Giant Is Born

The first time.

Major media in Europe and the United States quickly released the news.

"ERV's sky-high valuation is $50 billion, and this financing of $10 billion, accounting for only 20% of the shares, is ERV overestimating itself?

"The chairman of ERV did not give an inch, and more than a dozen companies returned in vain. ”

"Apple said: Can't accept such a high offer!"

"If ERV succeeds in this financing, the next Internet giant will be born!"

"Is this financing or blackmail, and why is ERV worth so much?"

“。。。 “

Major media outlets in various countries have also reposted it one after another.

Public opinion has mixed opinions about the sky-high valuation of ERV, most of them think it is incredible, Sequoia Capital was only valued at more than 10 billion US dollars before, you have doubled four or five times, who can stand it?

It's completely a lion's mouth, and the spectators from all over the world also think that the chairman of ERV is brainless, such a high offer, it is strange that those companies will agree, and whoever agrees is a fool.

But.

Take this opportunity.

ERV has once again become the focus, and many people who no longer play games have been curious to try it when they see that the market value of this game company has exceeded $10 billion with a single game and its self-valuation is $50 billion.

And then.

Out of control.

In just one day, the number of registered players of "Warfire" increased by 520,000, and in the evening, ERV also announced it on the whole server, breaking the record of new registered players in a single day.

Look at the injured a lot of people.

Even Tang Qing, who was far away in Shanghai, couldn't help but sigh.

Why do celebrities have so many scandals? So many rights and wrongs, because there is public opinion, attention, hot spots, and fame, and fame represents red bills.

Those who don't have scandals.

You have to make two of them out, or work together, be boyfriend and girlfriend, and then separate, Tang Qing is not disgusted by this, but for those stars who divorce at will, it is annoying.

Since Tang Qing has been formulating a strategy of steady development, although the company controlled by the fighters has made big moves, it has not made any efforts in the media, otherwise, Tang Qing can make the company's fighters make headlines every day.

The next day.

Everyone sat down at the negotiating table again.

Near noon, there was still no result in the negotiations, and the soldiers did not give up a penny, so the media once again wrote wildly, dominating the headlines of various countries, and the registered users of "War" once again broke the record, reaching 550,000.

Day 3.

The number of registered users of "Flames of War" once again broke the record, reaching 610,000.

“。。。 ”

The various companies were depressed.

Flames added more than a million players in a matter of days, which is a bit of a hype for them, but it's not like it, or rather, it's a windfall for ERV.

The chairman of ERV doesn't seem to mind having to fight them.

Media reporters are even more happy, because there is news every day, as long as ERV insists on 50 billion US dollars unwaveringly, whether it is successful or not, it can write a big book, and it can also disgust those big companies.

。。。

Day 4.

Negotiations were fruitless.

At this time.

Companies are also in a bit of a dilemma.

Five billion dollars.

It's ridiculously high.

If the negotiation time is extended, not to mention the variables, it is likely to be the same as what the chairman of ERV said, and the price will rise again.

Give it up.

Unwilling.

Buy it.

Distressed.

"Isn't there a way to get the ERV price lower?" the president of Sony, the island nation, tapped on the table.

The first vice president shook his head.

""War" has no opponents in the market, and all those who follow the trend are dead, because in terms of gameplay and mode updates, they are not as fast as ERV, and players will not come back to play the second time once they compare. ”

"The most important thing is that ERV has no debt and extremely high profit margins, which is why we are bullish on it, and to be honest, such a one-of-a-kind development model makes it have no weaknesses. ”

Such a company.

First, there is money, low operating costs, and it is not possible to drag it out at all, and it is easy to drag it out stronger and stronger.

Second, it is impossible to achieve the goal of striking by supporting the opponent, because they have tried, but they can't help all of them, as long as the ERV maintains the current rate of progress and does not die, everyone can only watch it eat meat.

Third, the shareholders are single, and now they are still 100% controlled, just like a turtle shell, they can't start, and the chairman of the board of directors doesn't seem to have any bad habits, and he hardly even participates in any cocktail parties.

"Are you just going to let it blackmail?" said the president, his face full of indignation.

The vice president smiled bitterly, "For the time being, it's like this, cooperation, the most feared thing is that one party has an absolute advantage, ERV is such a company, we can't handle them at all." ”

"By the way, did the chairman of the ERV say that he needs some help?"

"Yes, but I don't know what, he said that only the board members know, I have to say, this is a psychological master, the negotiation process is dominant, do we want to continue this investment?"

"Hehe, go on, why not?"

"That valuation. ”

"Wait... Maybe someone else will do something. Speaking of this, the president of Sony smiled, they are enterprises in the island country, the United States is not the home field, if others want to reduce the price, there will definitely be targeted actions.

He doesn't believe that companies like Apple and Microsoft will be planted here.

Once there are multiple actions.

Just keep up with the assists yourself.

"Yes. ”

。。。

United States.

Boston.

IDG Group Headquarters.

McGovern, the chairman of the board of directors who is more than half a hundred years old, personally called Winters, and Winters was shocked, McGovern rarely took care of the company's affairs, and the president was all responsible, and he couldn't see the two sessions for a year.

"Winters, do you think it's worth it?"

"I... I think it's hard to convince him to cut the price. "Winters didn't dare to say that if something went wrong with such a big business, he couldn't bear this responsibility with his small body.

Moment.

He has a sense that the president is cheating on him and wants to dump the pot.

"Don't worry, I'm just asking, you say what you think. McGovern said.

Winters breathed a sigh of relief.

"Chairman, from my personal point of view, I am very optimistic about ERV, and his chairman gives me the feeling that it is as if there is nothing in the world that can stump him, which can be said to be conceited.

But this kind of conceit is not annoying, and it is supported by down-to-earth achievements and ability, I admire him very much, and I also think that what he said will definitely be realized. Winters said.

"Five hundred billion?"

"Uh... Be. Winters nodded with difficulty, this time he did not run away, as the head of the first cooperation between IDG and ERV, he has a natural sense of identity with ERV.

"yes, I see. ”

After speaking.

McGovern hung up.

Then he said to the CEO of IDG in front of him: "Let's start, since you also think you can gamble on ERV, then let it go, no matter how bad it is, we can't lose." ”

"Yes. ”

。。。

Day 5.

That is, on the morning of September 17.

Just when someone wants to watch a play.

a message.

Detonate the media.

------ IDG Group announced that it has reached an agreement with the chairman of ERV to acquire four percent of ERV's shares for $2 billion, including $500 million in cash and $1.5 billion worth of shares in IDG Group.

As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar.

This represents:

IDG believes that ERV is worth this price and is the first to take a fifth of the shares in the sale.

So.

What about other companies?

"What? McGovern, is that old fool?" the president of Sequoia Capital looked shocked.

"What shall we do?" asked the delegate from far away in New York.

"I don't know, I have to ask the board of directors for advice, I hope it's too late, there is only sixteen percent left, if someone buys it out, we will be embarrassed, you go to the ERV headquarters first to wait. ”

"Yes. ”

Each company immediately began to discuss countermeasures.

But it didn't last long before the second news made them completely unable to sit still.

---- Apple will invest $2 billion to acquire a 4 percent stake in ERV, which will be paid entirely in cash and will be signed tomorrow morning.

IDG and Apple jointly acknowledge the valuation of ERV.

Like the last straw, it weighed on everyone's hearts, and there were still twelve percent left, but I couldn't hesitate any longer, or give up, if I wanted to buy it, I had to hurry, so... The soldier's phone rang non-stop.

Knowing that these guys are going to do a trick.

Of course Tang Qing will not sit still, he is not interested in playing any business war with these guys, you come and go, this is not good-looking, and it hurts the harmony, so the strategy began.

McGovern.

The first strategy object revealed some of ERV's 'secrets' and strategies, and in the end McGovern planned to gamble.

Jobs.

The second target of the strategy, the current Apple, the market value is not high, it has not yet reached 100 billion US dollars, and it is still far from the footsteps of trillions.

However, under the strategy of the fighters, Jobs still agreed, ERV has nothing to threaten Apple, but Tang Qing knows that Apple will launch an Apple generation machine in January next year.

The stroke of Jobs' finger ushered in a new era of mobile phones and allowed Apple to enter a new world.

At this time.

There are still four months left until the first launch.

But there are still nine months to go before the launch of the Apple 1, the engineering prototype has of course come out, and all aspects are still in the final stages of optimization, and ERV has come up with something that Jobs is very interested in.

--- mobile games.

Fool-style mobile games, this is also no way, the current Mac configuration is too low, and you can play entertainment and the like, Jobs is really very courageous, staring at the fighter for two minutes.

Finally agreed.

Got these two guys.

The conspiracy that was being prepared immediately went out of place.

。。。

September 20th.

After several days of negotiations.

The remaining 10 percent of the shares were divided.

So far, in addition to the warriors, ERV has ten shareholders, namely IDG Group, Apple, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Toshiba, Qualcomm, IBM, Sequoia Capital, and Google.

So far.

The strategic financing of ERV has come to an end.

The Associated Press's next day newspaper headline "The Birth of a Giant" made ERV dominate the financial headlines of countries again, and many people were looking forward to what the company would look like when it went public.
