Monday, May 1, 2000, Labor Day, holiday.

Longtu is very lively today.

Since 7 or 8 o'clock in the morning, reporters from various media outlets have been squatting around the company, trying to catch a big news.

For China, when a foreign investor invests in a project in China is worth mentioning, it is even rarer for domestic enterprises to go out or in the form of bidding.

Then there are the groups of various foreign Internet companies that have arrived one after another.

Li Xiaoming and the others were already waiting for the arrival of these foreign companies in the company's conference room, in fact, they were quite surprised in their hearts.

There are three companies that are here today that they are simply familiar with, and the key problem lies with the two companies of these three that they are familiar with.

Mi Guoyi is here, which is the familiar EA.

Toei SONY is here.

Villefort is here, which is the familiar V Society.

Li Xiaoming and Chen Wu didn't understand what the hell EA and SONY were here.

In their impression, these two companies have never operated any other company's games in this era, and they are basically self-developed and operated.

The only one who might be really interested is the V Society.

But the problem is that the steam of the V Society was also born two years later, and now they have a CS in their hands, and now Li Xiaoming and Chen Wu are really confused.

But since they are here, let's listen to what they have to say, it is always impossible to just come to travel, since there is a purpose, just know from the conversation.

At 9 o'clock, the representative teams of more than a dozen companies were already seated in the conference room.

Li Xiaoming walked to the front and said with a smile: "First of all, welcome to Huaxia from all over the world. The purpose of coming to Huaxia is our dragon map, which is our honor. ”

"Thank you for coming today, we first need to see what kind of attitude your bids have towards this cooperation. If you don't mind, please hand us over your bids!"

The bidding requirements have been drawn up at the time of the original tender announcement, as long as a company sends a letter to express interest, Longtu will send the bidding documents to each company by email.

At this time, it was actually a last resort to collect the bids of the companies present, and this kind of international consultation could not be very fast in the first place, and the second was that Li Xiaoming and the others had no experience in this kind of thing, and they just made a big fuss.

At the suggestion of Li Xiaoming, all the companies submitted the prepared bids to the staff of Longtu.

Among them, EA, SONY, and V Society submitted not a bid at all, but more like an agreement.

When the Longtu people reviewed the bids, Chen Wu took the lead in inviting the company representatives present to visit various departments of Longtu.

Foreigners are very interested in Longtu, and they are especially curious about the magic of a company that can achieve results that most of them cannot achieve in an environment like Huaxia.

"Mr. Li, come and take a look at these copies, we can't screen these copies, and they're not bids at all. Zhang Liyang raised a few documents in his hand and said to Li Xiaoming.

Li Xiaoming took these documents and looked at the company that submitted them, but he was not surprised at all.

"Heh, three predators, let's see what kind of calculation they are having!" Li Xiaoming muttered as he opened the document marked with Mi Guoyidian.

The more Li Xiaoming looked behind, the more surprised he felt, and he couldn't help but start scolding in his heart: "These three families won't fight this abacus, right? ”

Don't worry about all the other nonsense in the agreement with Electronic Arts, the core is just one sentence: "Wholly acquire all the shares of Longtu at the appropriate price." ”

The problem is that this appropriate price is simply a cheat! As a monk, they can't even reach Longtu's net profit in a fiscal year.

Li Xiaoming held back the unhappiness in his heart, continued to open SONY's documents, and quickly flipped through them.

"Smack!" he saw the similar meaning in the back, and couldn't help but throw this Dongying company's agreement to the ground. I didn't even have the heart to comment.

"10 billion yen, wholly owned acquisition, they are my fools?

Next, Li Xiaoming didn't even want to read this agreement of V Society, but in the end, he opened this agreement and quickly browsed it in the spirit of wanting to be disgusted and disgusted at one time.

"Huh?" Li Xiaoming slowed down as he flipped over. They even began to rewind to see what was written at the beginning of the agreement.

After ten minutes or so, when he finished reading this agreement, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook: "This V Society, it's a little interesting." ”

This is a partnership agreement between Gabe Newell and Mike Harrington, the founders of V Society.

What's particularly interesting is that their interest in Rainbow is much higher than the benefits of Legends.

And speaking of which, the two of them were only interested in [Rainbow] because Li Xiaoming put a download interface of "Legend" on the interface of [Rainbow].

"The big guy is really the big guy, I just showed a little bit of meaning, how did they discover my plan so keenly?" Li Xiaoming admired it extremely in his heart.

Li Xiaoming and Chen Wu's plan is actually very simple, the profitability of [Rainbow] itself has always been relatively limited, but if this is used as a bridge in the middle to establish a complete distribution platform, its value is immeasurable.

This is also the practice of the boss of the horse in Zhencheng in the later generations, but the boss of the horse in the later generation was too bloated, and finally had to come out with a micro X to save the scene.

Li Xiaoming muttered while thinking about it: "No wonder people make steam, maybe they already have an idea, the same kind, the same kind, you can talk to them about this." ”

As for the bids screened by other colleagues, after comparing all the conditions, Li Xiaoming felt that there was no need to talk about it.

Either the lion opened his mouth, or the company was too weak.

This will coincide with the outbreak of the Internet bubble in the West, and some companies that come to bid are even too busy to take care of themselves, Li Xiaoming does not dare to find such an important business to cooperate with these companies that are difficult to protect, and it will be difficult to save it when the reputation is smashed.

But there's an interesting company in Europe that you can try to see when the time comes.

Time flickered, and it was noon.

Longtu warmly entertained the companies that came to participate in the bidding, and agreed with the companies that they would have separate contacts and detailed discussions with each company in the next few days.

After the delegations of the companies left, Li Xiaoming told Chen Wu all the details, and then asked, "What do you think?"

"Two disgusting things and two surprises, not bad, let's talk about it. Chen Wu replied.

"Okay, I'll meet them tomorrow, and as for Electronic Arts and SONY, just refuse them. ”

"Good. ”
