Chapter 705: Repurchase
Just as Oliver was about to continue to ask about the game company, Sophie on the side suddenly spoke, "I said, isn't it time to discuss the crisis that Enzo is facing, how did it become what the Atari collapse was, and what does this have to do with us?"
"Uh," Oliver swallowed back and smiled awkwardly, "yes, yes, we're going to talk about the crisis, and we'll talk about the game company later." ”
The Atari collapse was one of the biggest events in North America last year, and hearing Chen Dahe say that there was a way to reduce the damage made her instinctively interested in studying business cases recently, but it is true that as Sophie said, this is not the time to discuss it, and we will talk about it later.
"No, in fact, you can say it now," Chen Dahe smiled slightly, looking at Oliver, "You can ask those who hold shares of Attack if they would like to take it private at a 20% premium to the market price." ”
The stock owners here are, of course, the major shareholders, and retail investors are not qualified to participate in any takeover game.
"Take-private takeover?" Oliver looked at him in disbelief, "you wouldn't want to buy this company back, would you?"
"Why not," Chen Dahe shrugged, Since they secretly invested in Star Computer and the Third Automobile Company, it means that they still want to cooperate with me, in this case, then we will open the skylight and say bright words, the previous things are written off, according to the business rules, how to come, my project can also be open to them in the future, at the same time, I can buy Attack Games as sincerity, for those people, this company is nothing more than a chicken rib, it is a pity to eat tastelessly, if it can be sold, they should be happy to it. ”
He knows it in his own heart, but it doesn't prevent him from saying a few beautiful words.
"Are you crazy?" Oliver lowered his voice and glared at him viciously, "After the collapse of Atari, what future does the game market have? Even if Attack Games has two classic games that can stand the test of the market, the market in both the United States and Europe is already saturated, yes, it is true that it can still sell some every year, and there is still a Japan in Asia to explore, but how much can it earn? tens of millions, or 100 million? How much can be left after deducting costs and taxes?" 1.2 billion dollars, are you ready to spend 20 years to recover your investment and survive to the next era of gaming?"
Chen Dahe opened his arms and smiled at her, "Oliver, have you seen me do a loss-making business?"
"Yes," Oliver glared at him without hesitation, "you've invested more than three million dollars in environmental protection companies in China, and these companies haven't made a penny of profit for you!"
Chen Dahe's eyelids instantly drooped, "Can you not raise the bar." ”
He didn't believe that Oliver wouldn't know that the environmental protection company was used to wipe the butts of several other factories, and that he could not do stupid things that only cared about making money and ignoring the ecology when he had the conditions.
"Alright, alright," Oliver said, throwing up his hands in a reluctant expression, "I can help you ask, but you'll have to tell me what you think!"
"My idea is that games will come back eventually," Chen Dahe leaned back in his chair and shrugged with a smile, "Twenty years, expect two whole generations not to play video games, is it possible?!"
Of course he won't wait for twenty years, in fact, it won't take twenty years, as early as July last year, Nintendo of Japan produced a game called Donkey Kong, this game is very ordinary, nothing more than music and racing, but their game console is very distinctive, because it can be connected to the TV to play games, making this game console extremely popular, but this is not the key, the key is that in this game, a supporting role with few scenes will officially appear next year, and in the next year or two to set off a storm, called Super Mario StormThe storm brought the game market, which experts predicted would cool down for two decades, to end in just three or four years, ushering in a real explosion of the gaming industry.
With this masterpiece, even if Chen Dahe doesn't do anything after buying Attack Games, he can still sit back and wait for the stock price to rise and make a lot of money, not to mention that he will let such a hen that lays golden eggs go away? Not to mention anything else, as long as he comes up with Super Mario's idea within this year and changes his image, he can cut off Nintendo's Hu, plus the game kid game console that gives Nintendo wings, and the software release platform that guarantees the quality of the game in the form of a margin, you can go their way and let them have no way out.
Taking advantage of Japan, he has always been at ease.
"Is this your judgment different?" Oliver spread his hands, "isn't there any more specific actual data to back it up?"
"I'll explain this to you in detail later," Chen Dahe glanced at Sophie, "if we continue to talk about this topic, Ms. Sophie will be very unhappy." ”
"No, I didn't," Sophie tilted her head and pursed the corners of her lips, "since it's related to dealing with the enemy, you can discuss it in detail, as you said, you can show your sincerity, buy this game company with a declining market value, and open your investment project to them, but you still haven't answered our previous question, what should you do if they have more demands on you?" Enzo,"
Speaking of this, Sophie took a deep breath and slowed her tone slightly, "You see, we're not here to ask you anything, it's just that as friends, we don't want you to have any accidents, understand?"
"Of course I understand," Chen Dahe pressed down lightly with his palm, "Take it easy, don't worry,"
Seeing her blushing face, Chen Dahe felt a little funny in his heart, this is not the emperor is not anxious eunuchs, but he feels very warm in his heart, as Sophie said, they are not asking this question to question anything, it is purely out of concern for his friend, that's all, because the commercial war has not affected her small art company.
After a slight pause, Chen Dahe looked at the two women and continued, "Frankly speaking, it's still the sentence just now, for civilized people, I use a civilized attitude, for barbarians, I use barbarism to fight back, before the conflict, I will welcome any collaborators with an open attitude, after the conflict, I will also use the strongest cannonball to shut them up, no doubt, I have the means, and I also have the ability, so please relax and wait for tomorrow to accompany me to the ceremony!"
The two girls looked at him silently, and after a long time, Sophie smiled lightly, "Enzo, if there is a day, I hope you can still remember me as a friend, and if you need to, just speak." ”
With this sentence, it means that once there is a conflict, she will stand on Chen Dahe's side, although she can't do anything, but it is enough to have this attitude.
Oliver also patted the armrest of his chair and stood up, raised his hands and said, "Okay, okay, since you are so confident, then I believe you, now, I will go and call and tell them your attitude, if it is okay, there may be a few more guests at your ceremony tomorrow." ”
Chen Dahe smiled and spread his hands, "Welcome at any time!"
Since he dares to show his face in front of the European aristocracy, he is not afraid to deal with American conglomerates, and maybe he can become a partner in the future.
Well, a good partner who will stick a knife in the back at some point!
