The popularity of Fortnite is something that no one expected at the moment, including the Fortnite R&D team.

Star Mutual Entertainment, General Manager's Office.

Shen Lang has promoted Bai Yan to the CEO and creative director of Star Interactive Entertainment, and Bai Yan's work performance is also worthy of Shen Lang's promotion.

Chen Zhijian couldn't figure out Shen Lang's attitude, but he couldn't describe it with a greedy eye for starry sky entertainment.

The horror of the speed of making money in PUBG is already well known to all insiders, but they can only watch as Starry Sky Mutual Entertainment builds patent barriers.

Netwing had already tested it for everyone before, and was directly told by Star Mutual Entertainment to announce the failure of the wilderness action project.

Penguin is also a headache and greedy for the chicken copyright and various patents registered in the hands of Star Mutual Entertainment.

However, Shen Lang was fully prepared in one step, and Penguin later chose to acquire Star Mutual Entertainment in consideration of the risk and the company's reputation.

PUBG is a gold mine, and the penguins can only watch as a lot of money flies into their Star Entertainment account.

Chen Zhijian was still very unhappy with the penguins being kicked out of the microcosm last time.

"Mr. Shen, did you figure it out when you came to me this time?" asked Chen Zhijian with a light sip.

Shen Lang gave Bai Yan a look, and Bai Yan said: "That's the case, not long ago, a company called EPIC wanted to buy the patent license in our hands, Mr. Chen should know, right?"

"I've heard a little about it, it's an affiliate of ours. ”

Bai Yan said with a smile: "We don't plan to grant patents to them, and we will always pay attention to them, once we find out that they are using our patents without authorization, we will immediately file a lawsuit!"

Chen Zhijian looked at Bai Yan with a black line on his face, what does this mean?

"I'll tell the other party, I don't think I will stop the R&D process because of a chicken patent. Chen Zhijian is also very tough.

Bai Yan shook his head with a smile: "Mr. Chen, you may not know, I have read the other party's brief introduction, what they want to do is a combination of sandbox and battle royale games."

But the patents we registered in advance are something they can never get around, so you should know what I mean. ”

Chen Zhijian was really a little suspicious of what Bai Yan said, the penguin has a clear internal division of labor, and Chen Zhijian is mainly responsible for investment and other things.

As for the game business group, there is an additional vice president in charge, but seeing Bai Yan say this, Chen Zhijian is not sure whether his judgment is reliable.

"So, I'm going to ask Ma Yi, who is in charge of the game business group. Chen Zhijian took out his mobile phone and dialed.

Shen Lang laughed at Bai Yan and Chen Zhijian's negotiation throughout the whole process, and Chen Zhijian was only responsible for investing in potential companies.

BUT SPECIFIC THINGS LIKE EPIC ARE DIRECTLY MANAGED BY THE HEAD OF PENGUIN'S GAMES BUSINESS GROUP.

But almost after Chen Zhijian finished asking and got the other party's confirmation, Chen Zhiji's face became more and more ugly.

"Do you have to get a patent?"

After Chen Zhijian received an affirmative reply from Ma Yi on the other end of the phone, he hung up the phone.

Bai Yan and Shen Lang were both very patient, Chen Zhijian put the phone on the table and said: "I asked, EPIC did report to Ma Yi about the purchase of patents, he originally planned to talk about it in person, and now I will talk about it the same." ”

Bai Yan adjusted his state and knew that the main event was coming soon.

"Tell me, what are the conditions that make you agree to license a patent to EPIC?"

This passive feeling makes Chen Zhijian extremely uncomfortable, where did the penguins not take the initiative in the past?

But now Chen Zhijian has been directly kicked out of the microcosm once, and it is the same when he comes to Star Mutual Entertainment.

"Mr. Chen, let's put aside the matter of licensing patents, let's talk about something else first, as far as I know, your acquisition of EPIC's shares was based on a valuation of 825 million US dollars, right?" Bai Yan changed the subject.

Chen Zhijian didn't understand for a while, but he still nodded: "There is such a thing, it was me and Ma Yi who completed the acquisition of EPIC shares together. ”

"How reasonable do you think EPIC's valuation is now?" Bai Yan asked.

Chen Zhijian reacted and asked, "You don't plan to buy our shares, do you?"

"With this idea, the matter is very simple, we give you and Penguin a satisfactory valuation, and then Mr. Shen will invest in the acquisition of EPIC shares. ”

Chen Zhijian shook his head: "So you guys hit this idea?"

At first, Chen Zhijian really thought that Starry Sky Entertainment had a change of heart and planned to introduce investors, but he didn't expect to start the idea of penguins.

Chen Zhijian didn't have any idea of not selling it if he held it in his hands.

EPIC'S PREVIOUS GAMES WEREN'T PARTICULARLY POPULAR, BUT THEY DID HAVE THEIR OWN POPULARITY.

BUT EPIC'S REAL PATH TO BECOMING A COQUETTISH MAN BEGAN WITH THE LAUNCH OF FORTNITE, AND THE CURRENT EPIC VALUATION IS NOT EVEN A TENTH OF ITS PEAK.

It can be said that game companies are like this, launching a money-making game, and the company's valuation will also skyrocket.

The current valuation of Star Mutual Entertainment is at least $2 billion, and a bunch of capital has always expressed its willingness to invest.

Chen Zhijian thought for a while and said, "It's okay to sell, but what is your valuation of EPIC?"

"BILLION DOLLARS, EPIC DOESN'T HAVE A GAME THAT CAN BE USED RIGHT NOW, AND WE HAVE A VERY REASONABLE OFFER OF A BILLION DOLLARS. Bai Yan said immediately.

"It's impossible, we gave a valuation of $825 million in 13 years, and it won't rise to $200 million in four years? Chen Zhijian didn't want to refuse.

This price is too low, far from meeting the requirements of Chen Zhijian's heart.

This means that Fortnite has not yet been launched, otherwise Chen Zhijian would not be so short-sighted.

Moreover, Fortnite involves having to obtain a patent license from Star Mutual Entertainment, which is the thing that Chen Zhijian is most resistant to.

Could it be that Starry Sky Entertainment doesn't agree, and Fortnite can't be launched?

Chen Zhijian took a sip of tea and moistened his throat and said: "In this way, 1.5 billion US dollars, if you can agree, I will directly sell the shares of EPIC in my hand, and I have this right." ”

At this time, it is natural for Shen Lang to make a decision, and normal negotiations must be ridiculous.

An acquisition like this as high as $1.5 billion is even more normal for half a month.

But EPIC is different, and the sooner it is acquired, the safer it is.

Shen Lang agreed to Chen Zhijian's offer, which is only $1.5 billion, compared with EPIC's valuation of up to $15 billion, Shen Lang has already made a profit.

Chen Zhijian was a little unresponsive, seeing that Shen Lang agreed so simply, Chen Zhijian had an illusion, did he want too little?

However, Chen Zhijian is just thinking about it, and the valuation of $1.5 billion is already very high for today's EPIC.

Penguin's investment in four years has now doubled the return, and Chen Zhijian's face has a little more smile.

And Shen Lang has naturally become the largest shareholder of EPIC, and the acquisition of Penguin's shares is only the first step.

In the next step, Shen Lang is ready to liquidate other shareholders and complete the privatization of EPIC.

Now, even if EPIC is wholly acquired, it will cost less than two billion US dollars at most, and when Fortnite is officially launched, Shen Lang's investment will be multiplied several times at that time!
