Chapter 375: Help Zheng Peng Start a Business

For most creative game companies, an acquisition means a change in the company's will, and it is difficult to guarantee that the original independent development rights will be maintained, which means that the acquisition often means the death of the company.

Although Zheng Peng is only an employee of the company and is a part-time worker, after this period of getting along, he has liked the atmosphere of this company and likes this job even more, and he really doesn't want to see the company being acquired.

"Why are you in a hurry, I didn't say no. Well, since you're coming to negotiate with me as a representative, you must have a plan, tell me what your company thinks first, and then I'll decide whether to invest or not. ”

"Or if I buy this company and give it to you, how are you going to run it? You know, since it's a business investment, you should follow the rules here, even if you're my brother. ”

To invest or not to invest, Zheng Yan already has the answer in his heart, and the next conversation is just Zheng Yan's examination and teaching of Zheng Peng.

"Brother, since you're interested in our company, how about you invest in our company? Don't invest too much, just a million dollars, so we can continue to develop the game. ”

"And you, as an investor, can get 30 percent of our company's shares. I can tell that you are very interested in the game we are working on, and I believe that this is an outcome that everyone can accept. ”

All Zheng Peng wanted to do was how to save the company, but he didn't put himself in the right position, and he ignored some of what Zheng Yan said. Now there are negotiations between the two companies, not between brothers.

"Zheng Peng, first of all, you have to understand one thing, we are sitting here now, discussing a business, not a family affair. The words you just said say a lot that you obviously don't realize. ”

"If your purpose this time is for me to make a venture capital, then I won't use a negotiating tone, but just offer your terms, how much shares you are willing to pay, and how much money I need to pay. ”

"And what you said has already told me one thing, your company is basically desperate, and now it just wants to sell at a good price. Of course, these things are not a big problem for me, but you have to understand that you will be dealing with businessmen, not your brother. ”

"Okay, now I'll give you another chance, you can talk about the conditions of your company and see if you can convince me. Needless to say, venture capital or something, I'm not very interested in this. ”

In Zheng Peng's heart, he has always regarded Zheng Yan as his idol, and in his opinion, Zheng Yan's recognition is much more important than some things, at least more important than this investment, so he will make mistakes. However, after Zheng Yan's nudge, he quickly adjusted his mentality.

"Okay, our company does intend to sell, but we need to ensure the current business model, and we need to have enough say in the future development of the company and the development of the game, which is the premise of the company's sale, and if you can accept it, we can continue to talk. ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Peng stopped, and then looked at Zheng Yan. Zheng Yan saw that Zheng Peng finally looked like he was negotiating, so he didn't speak, but motioned for him to continue.

Zheng Peng thought for a moment and continued: "In addition, we will only sell 55% of the shares this time, and the three founders of the company need to keep 45% of the shares, and you need to pay 3 million US dollars. ”

Needless to say three million, even if it is thirty million, Zheng Yan will not hesitate, because only he knows the potential of Blizzard. However, since it is a test for Zheng Peng, Zheng Yan will naturally not agree easily.

"According to what you just said, I only need to pay a million dollars to get 30 percent of the shares, why does 55 percent become 3 million? I think 2 million is enough. Zheng Yan said playfully.

"No, it's different, if it's only 30 percent of the shares, the controlling stake in the company will not change, and we can also guarantee that the development of the company will not be controlled in the future. But 55 percent is different, and the fate of the company is no longer in our hands. ”

"Generally speaking, this kind of bulk acquisition would have a premium of around twenty percent, and with the interest you've just shown, I think three million is a mutually acceptable price. ”

What Zheng Peng lacks is experience, but his brain is flexible enough. In the beginning, he really didn't put himself in the right position, so he was at the bottom from the start. However, Zheng Yan's interest in "Warcraft" also did not hide from his eyes.

"I won't interfere with your business development, this is something you need to worry about, then again, I don't have the time and energy, with that effort, I can make more money elsewhere. ”

"In other words, no matter how much stake I hold, it will not affect your decision-making. As for interest, it's just interest, not a reason to invest, and it's hard to convince me. ”

In fact, Zheng Peng was in the Ming Dynasty, and the more Zheng Yan said this, the more it showed that he was interested in Blizzard, so he was not in a hurry at all, and continued: "You just said that we are talking about business, and your personal verbal commitment doesn't mean anything. Also, if it weren't for those conversations just now, you might have been my only option, but not right now. ”

"I also said that I once looked for the third brother, and the third brother was not so much not interested, but not sure. But if I tell him that you are very interested in our company, do you think the third brother will invest?" Zheng Peng said proudly.

Unconsciously, the conversation between the two did not look like a negotiation anymore, but Zheng Peng also grasped very important information. Liu Wei, Tang Hao, Zhao Weimin and Dong Chuan, although they have all become famous, Zheng Yan has always been the core of this circle.

In the eyes of Liu Wei and others, there is a kind of blind trust in Zheng Yan, as long as Zheng Yan is optimistic, even if it is a piece of shit, I am afraid that he is willing to invest, because Zheng Yan has never failed, even if it is an investment that everyone is not optimistic about, all of them have been successful.

"Okay, you two are endless, aren't they just millions. Peng Peng, if your brother doesn't invest in you, and your sister-in-law gives you investment, look at your brother's stinginess. ”

Out of curiosity, Li Yanran has been secretly paying attention to the conversation between the two on the side. In her opinion, it is just a matter of a few millions, and it is not enough to spend so much words.
