Chapter 20 The game company is here
After an hour-long flight, the plane landed at San Francisco Airport. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
With a pair of sunglasses on his face, a white shirt on his body, a pair of white and worn-out jeans on his body, and a pair of clover sneakers on his feet, he has a tall and strong body and a handsome face, exuding a confident aura, which attracts the attention of the women around him from time to time.
Nelson stood in the distance and saw Andy and his party at a glance, Andy was like a luminous body, making people unconsciously look at him, and there were also several women holding mobile phones to shoot him, I don't know if they recognized his identity, after all, recently, Andy's photos have been appearing in various media reports, and it is too normal to be recognized.
"Hi Nelson. Andy walked briskly over to the Nelson crowd and gave him a hug.
Nelson felt Andy's enthusiasm and also opened his arms, "Boss, welcome to San Francisco." ”
"Hehe, I've worked hard for you these past few days. Andy and financial advisor David also hugged and greeted the negotiation team.
David said to Andy with a wry smile on his face: "Boss, you have given us too little time, and we have only made a preliminary assessment of their company at present, and some accounts have not been audited. ”
"Hehe, put aside the accounts or something, as long as the value of the assets is assessed, and I can ensure that I am acquiring a game company with complete personnel. Andy explained with a smile.
Hearing Andy's words, David shrugged his shoulders and said a little speechlessly: "If that's the case, then there's no problem." ”
"Okay, let's go, I've booked a hotel for you. After greeting Carl and Joseph, Nelson said to Andy.
"Okay, let's go, I'll treat you to a big meal, everyone has a share. "Andy is very respectful of Huaxia's dinner guests, whether it is to treat friends or employees, it is the best way to maintain a relationship.
Located in San Francisco's Soma District, the Four Seasons Hotel is the first skyscraper of the 21st century in San Francisco with a height of 121 meters.
Nelson booked Andy a Deluxe View Room on the 17th floor of the hotel, which is decorated in cream tones and offers panoramic views of the Parkview Green Gardens and several neighboring neighborhoods.
Standing in front of the panoramic window, Andy overlooked the street view and listened carefully to the detailed description of the target company by David.
"Alright, alright, let's go to the restaurant and try the California-style steak and assortment of snacks, and put the work on hold for a while. Andy interrupted David's introduction and smiled at everyone.
As soon as he heard that he was going to eat, Carl patted his fat belly and said happily: "Great, I've been hungry for a long time, and I feel like I can swallow a cow now." ”
Andy gave him an angry look and sneered, "You should go on a diet, otherwise you will be fatter." ”
"Whatever, if you can't enjoy the food, you might as well kill me!" Carl didn't care about Andy's ridicule.
Nelson and David couldn't help but chuckle as they looked at Carl, who was walking out of the room with his fat butt in a hurry.
In the restaurant, Carl kept talking to the waiter with the menu, Andy took the menu angrily, looked at the price, and was a little surprised to him, the price of the dishes was not high, and said to the waiter standing next to him: "French truffle foie gras with green apple RU cheese and caviar, Gula-style traditional beef bisque with rye bread, French sour RU cheese fruit salad with fresh plum sauce, charcoal-grilled T-bone steak with black pepper and sautéed mushrooms。。。。。。 ”
After ordering, several people chatted and waited for the dishes to be served, and Carl looked even more eager, holding a knife and fork in his hand early and preparing to eat.
Andy teased him from time to time, and Nelson and David, who shook their heads and chuckled.
As for the ridicule, I don't know if it is because he is thick-skinned or because he likes this way of playing with Andy to enhance the relationship, Carl is not affected in any way, but calmly counterattacks with witty words from time to time, making everyone chuckle again and again.
As a financial advisor who has not been part of Andy's team for a long time, David is very envious of the way Carl and Nelson get along with Andy.
Soon the first course was served, the French truffle foie gras with green apple RU cheese and caviar, which was very well presented and fragrant.
Scoop a spoonful of caviar and put it in your mouth, the tiny particles slowly rotate between your lips, and the taste buds will be delighted by the delicious taste that blooms.
It is indeed delicious, even if it is expensive, it is still a rare top-quality ingredient, and the chef's skill is impeccable, so that the ingredients retain the most essential flavor.
Foie gras is so creamy that it melts in your mouth like snow in water, and the taste is unbeatable.
Although delicious, Andy is still a little depressed, accustomed to the big plates and bowls of Chinese cuisine, there are too few things for Western food, but there are still many dishes behind, I believe that after a set, his stomach will be full.
Salads, bread soups, steaks。。。。。 One by one, they entered Andy's belly, and after everyone was full of wine and food, they went back to their rooms to take a lunch break to recuperate for the final negotiations of the afternoon.
Afternoon.
"Holden, do you think the other party is really the young billionaire reported in the newspaper?" Bill's expression was a little nervous, and the worry in his heart made him unable to relax, and asked Holden, who was standing next to him in a straight suit with a serious expression.
"Bill, I know what you're worried about, but I've privately told them that their boss wants to buy a company with a full staff, and I don't think there will be much personnel changes for the time being. ”
"Although the other party is young, one of his ideas has made him a billionaire, since he wants to get involved in the unfamiliar game industry, he naturally has his considerations, this is an opportunity for us, and there are enough funds to complete our ideas. Holden saw Bill's worries, how could he not be nervous, the company has developed to this point, it is absolutely unreasonable to say that there is no problem with the management, layoffs are certain, but laying off those people is not something they can decide, and now they can only wait for the decision made by the new boss after the acquisition.
Winster, the boss of the company standing in front of the two, is in a very good mood, after all, a burden is about to be thrown out, even if the purchase price is very compressed, it is much better than burning money endlessly, as for other problems in the company, he has not thought about it now, or left it to the new boss to have a headache.
"It's coming. ”
Holden saw several cars coming towards them and opened his mouth to warn them.
The car slowly stopped, and the group of people who got down first, Winster, they are no strangers, these few people are responsible for the negotiations in the past few days, and David is a very difficult negotiation opponent.
Then a young man in a t-shirt and jeans stepped out of the car and looked around to take in the surroundings and the location of the company.
An old five-story building, the walls are a little peeling, giving people a dilapidated feeling.
"It should be this young man, he is so young, rich is willful!" Winston was wandering around all kinds of thoughts in his head, but he didn't pause at his feet, and hurriedly stepped forward to shake Andy's hand and say hello.
Holden and Bill looked at each other and followed closely behind Winston, equally surprised by Andy's youth, even though they had seen Andy's picture in the newspaper a long time ago.
Under David's introduction, the two sides shook hands and got to know each other, and after a short exchange, under the guidance of Winston, everyone entered the game company one after another.
The company's office space is very spacious, but there are not many staff, Andy has understood, the company has more than 50 employees, more than 50 people use a five-story building, everyone can use the space is naturally very spacious, it is indeed a bit of luxury.
At this time, the employees of the whole company are very nervous, since the boss announced that he was going to sell the company, the employees can not work with peace of mind, the bottom employees are better, mainly the middle employees are very worried, afraid that the new boss will wave the layoff knife to cut them. As for a few high-level executives, not to mention, the company is not profitable, what else is there to say.
The atmosphere in the conference room was a little depressing,Andy looked at the game materials produced by this game company a little bored,How to say,The creativity is still good,But it's basically casual stand-alone games,And the largest game market in the United StatesTV console games don't have any products,Let alone any online games。
David led the audit team to do the final accounting, and if there were no problems, Andy could sign off and pay.
No one spoke in the office, David pushed the door and walked in, nodded at Andy, and said that everything was fine, both sides were seated, Andy signed the contract, and David handed the check to Winster, who was already eager to sign his name.
Winster got the check, just said goodbye to Andy and left the conference room without looking back, and now he has nothing to do with the company.
Seeing Winster leave, Andy walked to the top of the conference room, looked around, and looked at several senior executives of the company with very nervous expressions.
"There will be no changes to the management of the company for the time being, I will give people a period of time to show their capabilities, and the creative department and the sales department are the focus of my inspection. Andy looked at several people with serious expressions, and those who swept their eyes couldn't help but feel a chill.
Soon, the treatment of the company's employees was basically negotiated, in fact, there was nothing to talk about, except for the salary paid to the employees, the money to buy the company was basically the price of cabbage, mainly because the five-story old building and a large piece of vacant land that had been used as a parking lot were also in the company's assets.
As for the previous game copyrights of this company, Winster didn't ask for a penny, to be honest, Andy really didn't like those games, as long as he bought this company for the purpose of making the products he needed, who in the world knows better than himself about the most profitable games?
Andy brought someone to take over the company, began to sign new contracts with the employees, the company's new name was changed to "Mockingjay", the unique trademark sign has also been handed over to the advertising agency to do, the company's building is too old, Andy ordered people to paint the exterior walls of the building, and the interior also needs to be redecorated layer by layer, and the employees do not delay their work.
