Chapter One Hundred and Three: The Apocalypse Game Company's Umbrella in France
In the past few days, Xu Ping'an has met with many researchers, and Xu Ping'an has really discovered two talents, both of whom are management talents, and they are also from the research institute, which is beyond Xu Ping'an's expectations.
One of them is also from the Celestial Empire, Chen Fansheng, who studied at Imperial College London, joined the Vannes Institute as a researcher after graduation, and slowly mixed into the position of deputy prime minister of the institute, becoming the daily manager of the institute, and keeping the Vannes Institute in order.
This time, I came to the exhibition because Chen Fansheng got the news in advance that the owner of the Vannes Institute was going to sell the institute to an American company, so he could only return to his old job and try his luck with a research report.
As a result, the research project was favored by Xu Ping'an, and Chen Fansheng told the truth after a detailed discussion, which made Xu Ping'an a little crying and laughing, this is really a talent.
After talking to Chen Fansheng seriously, Chen Fansheng accepted Xu Ping'an's suggestion, joined Tianqi Group, and immediately set off to return to China to inspect the research institute of renewable resources in China.
The other one is named Gilbert, and the situation is exactly the same as Chen Fansheng, the original research institute is not working, and he also tries his luck with a research plan, without exception, he was adopted by Xu Ping'an.
No one stayed in the management of the Stepping Research Institute, they all had their own places, Xu Ping'an did not stay, Gilbert officially took office, responsible for presiding over the work of the British Apocalypse Research Institute, with practical work experience, it was effortless to manage.
A week later, Xu Ping'an, chairman of Tianqi Group, held a press conference with William, one of the Labour Party bigwigs, and London Mayor Johnson, who had acquired more than 100 projects at the renewable resources exhibition and would invest 300 million pounds to establish a comprehensive renewable resources research institute in London.
After the news came out, the British media continued to report that the investment of the Apocalypse Group was the largest foreign investment in London this year, which was a good thing and a great benefit to London, and the presence of the Mayor of London was even more memorable.
It took five days for Xu Ping'an to complete the British business, and after a detailed discussion with Gilbert, he left the UK for France, and the French Victory Shield Law Firm was entrusted by Xu Ping'an to negotiate with Ankama Games, Vidiwang and Ubisoft.
Xu Ping'an arrived in Paris and began to contact the senior management of the three companies, Ankama Games was to be wholly acquired, and Vidiwang was to sell its three game studios, which were among the three studios that Vidiwang Games was going to eliminate.
Some people are happy to sell it at a suitable price, which can be regarded as a good use of waste.
The same is true of Ubisoft, the company has integrated internally, eliminated two local game studios, and Apocalypse Group is willing to take over and is happy to exchange funds, why not do it, these two studios will not bring any benefit to themselves anyway.
The acquisition of a company by foreign capital is not so simple, it requires the approval of the government unit, the game studio is easy to manage, and the Ankama game company is not so easy to run, there are many shareholders, and they must be talked to one by one.
Xu Ping'an was invited to a reception held by several shareholders, and he met many dignitaries in Paris, and Xu Ping'an had a pleasant chat with one of the shareholders, who is currently serving as the deputy secretary general of the Elysee Palace, called Macron.
Macron is reluctant to sell the shares of Ankama Games, as a political figure, the source of funds must be clean, Ankama Games can bring certain benefits to Macron every year, although it is only about 100,000 euros, which can be an important economic source for Macron, the key is reasonable and legal.
Xu Ping'an negotiated with Macron four times before reaching a win-win agreement, under which Apocalypse Games would settle in Paris and provide 150,000 euros a year for one of Macron's funds.
In return, Macron wants to be the umbrella of Apocalypse Games in France, and if Macron runs for Congress, Apocalypse Group will strongly support it, and the two reached an agreement with a touch of glasses, and Macron sold his stake in Ankama Games.
In the following days, Macron introduced Xu Ping'an to several friends, a congressman and three Paris city councilors, and Xu Ping'an also expressed his support, paid four checks and began to build his own umbrella.
Xu Ping'an's visa time is coming, this kind of thing is not easy to solve in the eyes of others, and it is very simple in the eyes of several umbrellas, only three days, a 30-day visa is directly renewed, and it is so efficient.
Under the guidance of Hall, the deputy mayor of Paris, Tianqi Group directly acquired two unfinished buildings, which are next to each other, and also have two large underground parking lots, covering a large area and a lot of green space, costing 260 million euros.
The design drawings marked the height of 22 floors, but the construction was stopped when the 11th floor was built, the owner went bankrupt, and the building was taken over by the City of Paris, and now it is being sold to Xu Ping'an.
Three days later, the building began to continue construction, according to Xu Ping'an's latest plan, only to the seventeenth floor, and then began to renovate, and the acquired studio was temporarily used for the office of Ankama.
Hubert, the former vice president of Ankama, was retained and promoted to the general manager of the company, with full responsibility for the company's operations.
When the renovation of the headquarters is completed, including Gülen's studio and the talents collected by Xu Ping'an, all go to work in the new office building, and the list of these personnel has been handed over to Hubert, who is overjoyed.
Because Xu Ping'an told him that each of the people on these lists has the ability to collapse Ankama's office system, Hubert immediately understood what Xu Ping'an meant, these are all talents, and they must be used greatly.
Before Xu Ping'an left France, the Paris city government announced that Tianqi Group invested 600 million euros to establish Tianqi Game Company in Paris, and Xu Ping'an's plan to keep a low profile completely failed.
In particular, the acquisition of Ankama by the Apocalypse Group, as well as the deal of the Apocalypse Group with Vidiwang and Ubisoft, caused a stir in the gaming industry, and it is not a small feat for large groups to enter the game industry with deep pockets.
On this day, Xu Ping'an arrived in RNY, Italy, and ten days later, Xu Ping'an and RNY Mayor Michel held a press conference together, and Tianqi Group invested 200 million euros to establish Tianqi Machinery Research Institute.
Apocalypse Group acquired three mechanical research institutes in Italy, which will be relocated to RNY after the completion of the institute's headquarters, and the two toasted together were recorded by the Italian media.
