Chapter 252: The Dust Settles
"With all due respect, you mean that Molong Media intends to set up its own independent mobile game production department, so I hope to be able to buy the research and development results of Wolong Studio in the last year or so from our Penguin Games, am I right?"
In Shudu, in the corner of the lobby of the hotel where Wang Bo stayed, Wang Bo was discussing with Li Mo about the research and development results of Wolong Studio.
Although Penguin Games and Wolong Studio are nominal investors and investees, theoretically speaking, Wolong Studios and Lu You are the real existence of a labor and employment relationship.
Since Penguin Games has decided to withdraw its investment, it will naturally no longer be kind enough to bear the severance expenses of the team under Wolong Studio.
It is precisely because of this that Wang Bo, who is well versed in Ma Xiaoyi's plans, is willing to agree to meet with Li Mo to discuss the disposal of the research and development results of Wolong Studio.
It's just that as soon as they met, Wang Bo felt that he had met a fake boss today and talked about a fake verdict......
The man in front of him was too young.
Is this guy 22 or 23?
Not to mention in a state-owned enterprise, even in Penguin Games, which is known for its good use of young people, a person of this age is at most a newcomer to the company......
And it's the kind of person who will be bullied to death by the old fritters...... Xinding.
Molong Media shouldn't give up on itself, so I just sent a newcomer to perfunctory me, right?
Are you kidding......
Since Li Mo has made up his mind to get all the preliminary data of "Honor of Kings" from Penguin Games, he naturally has to go all out.
After a detailed discussion with Lu You yesterday, according to the progress estimated by Lu You, Wolong Studio's work efficiency has actually been very fast in the past year or so.
Even according to the most conservative estimates, it will take at most another nine months for the prototype DEMO of "Honor of Kings" to be released smoothly.
Of course, these are all based on the premise that Li Mo can successfully buy back the information in the hands of Penguin Games.
If there is no such information, then even if Li Mo can successfully recruit most of the people in Wolong Studio, it will take at least a year to reach the current stage again......
From this point of view, it doesn't seem unacceptable to spend money on ready-made products from Penguin Games......
Li ...... Sir," Wang Bo still feels a little uncomfortable when he speaks in the face of a young man who is at least one round younger than himself, "With all due respect, although Molong Media has a strong rise in the film and television industry, the game industry, especially the mobile game industry, is a completely different industry from the field that your company is good at now." ”
"I don't have to worry about this for you at Penguin Games. ”
Before meeting Wang Bo today, Li Mo had already roughly understood some of Wang Bo's situation from Lu You's mouth, although because of the reasons relayed, Li Mo's conclusion must be different from the real situation, but at least Wang Bo's biggest feature, he still successfully grasped it.
conceit and ...... Proud.
After years of development, Penguin Games has become one of the four major online platforms of Penguin, and at the end of last year, it successfully surpassed Wangyi and became the largest online game community in China.
Under the composition of five categories: casual game platform, large-scale online game, medium-sized casual game, desktop game, and battle platform, Penguin Games has successfully launched nearly 60 well-received game products in the Celestial Empire.
Because many years ago, the penguin began to lay out with the help of the powerful coverage ability of the chat tool, and today, there is no Internet chat tool in the Celestial Empire that can compare with the penguin.
In this era of the Internet, having a strong user base means having the largest traffic import interface, so no matter how other Internet companies toss, as long as no one can shake Penguin's position in the field of online chat communication, Penguin's hegemony in the industry will be as stable as a rock.
Wang Bo, who has worked in Penguin Games for many years, is naturally well aware of this conclusion.
That's why he reports Dota Legends issues with such a light-hearted, even somewhat dismissive attitude.
Of course, there is certainly a side to this, but more importantly, Wang Bo knows very well that no matter how much "Dota Legend" is tossed, its traffic import interface can never be compared with Penguin Games' works......
To be honest, in the previous life, "Honor of Kings" was able to obtain an astonishing data of 200 million installed bases, which is inseparable from Penguin's strong ability in traffic import......
Even if Li Mo can successfully launch "Honor of Kings" in this time and space, it is estimated that in the end, he will not be able to escape the road of cooperation with Penguin Games.
But that's all for later, now Li Mo's task is to pretend to be a young man who made a little money in front of Wang Bo and began to blindly enter the surrounding industries.
"We at Molong Media have always disliked sticking to stereotypes. Li Mo looked arrogant, his head was almost raised to 90 degrees, "If I had retreated because of the advice of others when I was filming "Hypnosis Master" and "Chinese Partner", how could there be today's Molong Media?"
Speaking of this, Li Mo's tone seemed to unconsciously reveal some impatience, "Mr. Wang, I'll tell you the truth, the art team of Wolong Studio has accepted my invitation and is about to join Molong Media, the reason why I will come to you today to talk to you about the acquisition of R&D materials is also because of Sui Xing's advice to me." ”
"Originally, she just suggested that I buy the content of the art module, but I thought it was too troublesome and too childish to just buy the art part, so I simply asked you to buy all the research and development results together. ”
Speaking of this, Li Mo finally put down his head that had been held high and looked at Wang Bo a little.
"If Penguin Games thinks it doesn't matter if it's dismantled and sold, then I'll just follow Sui Xing's meaning and only buy the content related to the art module. ”
Hearing this, Wang Bo felt relieved.
Since the other party was able to say Sui Xing's name, he must have known that Sui Xing didn't like penguin games.
For the hot character of the Shu Di girl, Wang Bo can be said to be impressed.
Dare to come to Penguin Games in front of people, and directly say that he will not work for Penguin Games again, this kind of person, Wang Bo has really met it for the first time since he joined Penguin Games.
Wang Bo has been in the game industry for so many years, and he also knows that in the hearts of some game developers, they really treat their works as children......
According to this logic, Sui Xing naturally doesn't want her 'child' to fall into the hands of someone she doesn't like.
"Anyway, Mr. Ma has already drawn the bottom line, as long as the other party offers a starting price, who is it the same thing to sell to?" Wang Bo thought to himself proudly in his heart, "Isn't it good that the company can recover the investment in Wolong Studio in the past two years and make a small profit?"
Thinking of this, Wang Bo offered his own price.
"If you are willing to pay 35 million yuan, then all the research and development results of Wolong Studio, including programs, plans and art resources, will be yours. ”
"Our company can give up to 15 million, and if Penguin Games doesn't want to, then I can only say I'm sorry. ”
……
After some tense bargaining, Wang Bo and Li Mo finally reached a transaction agreement, and Molong Media pocketed all the R&D achievements of Wolong Studio during the capital injection period of Penguin Games at a price of 25 million.
In the end, Molong Media paid a total of 25040100 yuan for the transaction......
For this number, a certain traverser is ashamed to say that he is very happy to see it come true.
