Soderlaide is ambitious, and the gap between first and second in any field is huge.

It's the same with the third-party game platform field, EPI and Steam are destined to fight to the death.

However, at present, the balance of war is tilting towards Epi little by little, unless Steam is willing to reduce the share, otherwise the lead will disappear sooner or later, and even be caught up by Epi.

After talking about business, the other executives dispersed one after another, leaving Soderride and Shen Lang, and Gao Wen resting in the reception area downstairs.

Soderlaide specially found a local restaurant in the evening to feast Shen Lang and Gao Wen.

Gao Wen couldn't understand the conversation between the two, and concentrated on tasting the chef's skills, while Shen Lang and Soderlaide were chatting about the company's affairs.

Since taking over EPI, Soldlaide's status has skyrocketed, and the circle of party-goers has become more and more high-end.

Nowadays, the capital market gives the valuation of EPI, not counting the EPI platform, which is worth about $7 billion just by relying on Fortnite.

If you count the EPI platform, it is easy to break tens of billions of dollars.

Venture capital firms have already started to make offers, and Soderade only expressed his gratitude, but did not agree.

EPI is different from other game companies, the only owner of this company is Shen Lang.

Soderlaide knows even more that whether it is financed or not is in Shen Lang's words, and Soderlaide does not have the right to speak.

Shen Lang also wanted to investigate Soderlaide's vision: "Then do you think now is the time?"

"Boss, I think it's still early to raise funds, and after the global championships of the two games, PUBG and Fortnite, the best time for us to formally consider the VC offer. ”

Soderlaide was obviously thoughtful, and smiled: "If the time comes, if the time comes, a valuation of $20 billion may be the most perfect offer." ”

"Two billion dollars?"

Shen Lang smiled with satisfaction and touched his wine glass with Soderlaide.

"I look forward to your results, I won't be stingy with you, maybe I can reward you with options. ”

Soderlaide's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Boss, I won't let you down." ”

Shen Lang smiled and drank all the red wine in the cup.

Soderlaide felt that there was no wine sweeter in the world than in the throat.

If you can really get EPI options, it will not be as simple as millions of dollars a year.

It is normal to give employees option awards, especially in these technology companies in the United States, but the boss has always held the equity, and it is easy to hurt the enthusiasm of employees.

At the end of the meal, Soderlaide took his leave.

Shen Lang took Gao Wen to visit the city of Charlotte by the way.

Gao Wen didn't understand some of the technical terms that Shen Lang and Soderlaide talked about just now, but she still remembered the word $20 billion very well.

"Is that game company really worth $20 billion?"

Gao Wen is a little unconvinced, there are not many companies in the world that can exceed $20 billion in market capitalization.

Shen Lang just hugged Gao Wen's thin waist and laughed softly: "This is true, otherwise I wouldn't have made a special detour." ”

"And how many shares do you have?"

“100%。 ”

Gao Wen glared cutely, and repeated blankly: "100%? Isn't it that once this company is listed, your shares are worth 20 billion US dollars?"

"It depends on the subsequent financing, how much my stake will be diluted, but it will certainly not be less than 10 billion dollars. ”

There is also a saying that there is a lifting period for listing, especially if Shen Lang, a major shareholder, cashes out if he is listed, which is definitely not conducive to stock price growth.

But it's no problem to cash out some shares in the previous financing.

Gao Wen felt that Shen Lang was like a walking gold mine, and couldn't help shaking Shen Lang's arm excitedly and said: "Wow, I suddenly feel that acting is a little boring, it's better to follow you to invest and make money quickly, it's hard to make a movie to death, only to earn tens of millions, and you have to be scolded by a group of people." ”

"You can take acting as a hobby, do you really want to be a shareholder?"

Shen Lang saw that Gao Wen was full of interest and asked.

"Of course, if I can be a shareholder and I am also the boss, I will not be threatened by some people. Gao Wen joked.

Shen Lang ignored Gao Wen's joke, thought for a while, and said, "Then I'll go back and consider letting you subscribe for some options of Vientiane artists, and I will give you some more shares at that time." ”

Gao Wen was pleasantly surprised: "Really, that's great, how many shares can I buy?"

"About one million shares, the price given to you will not be high, and when Vientiane artists are listed, it will definitely make you a lot of money, and it can be regarded as a means to retain you artists. ”

Shen Lang doesn't care about these little money, Gao Wen and they will definitely not leave Vientiane Artists, and it doesn't matter if the others leave.

Vientiane Group is no longer the small ship it was at the beginning, but has long since become an aircraft carrier.

Even if they get off the boat, there will be more people waiting in line to buy tickets.

……

A Hilton hotel in downtown Charlotte.

Shen Lang and Gao Wen are crazy to the death, and Gao Wen now has no place that Shen Lang is not familiar with.

The battle lasted more than three hours before it was over.

The suite provided some financial magazines, and Shen Lang casually pulled out a copy of the latest issue of Fortune magazine.

Gao Wen leaned on Shen Lang's arms and rubbed it, and glanced at it curiously, the magazines that were all in English suddenly made Gao Wen lose interest.

At the very least, television is much more interesting than English-language magazines.

Shen Lang is somewhat interested, and Fortune magazine mainly focuses on the former first person on the post-90s rich list, Evans Spieger and Shen Lang.

Evans Spieger was the youngest billionaire on the Forbes rich list before Shen Lang appeared in the public eye.

Forbes' billionaires only include billionaires with a net worth of more than $1 billion.

Evans Peeger can be called the winner of life that all young people admire, born rich in the second generation, and later soaked in Miranda Kerr.

It is worth mentioning that after Shen Lang had little interest in Miranda Kerr in the later period, the two quickly got along.

Bimiranda Kerr also has a child, and if she can meet a rich and handsome person like Evans Spieger, she can't wait to stick it immediately.

Shen Lang laughed when he saw this, he still slept with Evanspieg's fiancée several times in disguise?

However, after looking at Gao Wen in his arms, Shen Lang did admit that the identity of a star does give women a different charm.

In Fortune magazine, Evans Peeger is the quintessential playboy who doesn't dare to do anything.

In contrast, Shen Lang is too low-key, and he never inquires about Shen Lang's lace news.

In terms of wealth, Shen Lang crushed Evans Spieger.

With the assets disclosed by Forbes last year alone, Shen Lang's wealth is already as much as 20 times that of Evans Piger.

Snap, the company founded by Evans Spieg, was even more lustful for being copied by Zuckerberg.

The market value has shrunk from a peak of $30 billion to less than $10 billion.

Fortune magazine concluded that Shen Lang defeated Evans Spieger, and the position of the first person on the post-90s rich list is as stable as Mount Tai!
