Chapter 165: Smoke Bombs
Hangzhou, Winger Software Company. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info meeting room.
On one side sat the four winger founders who were called the "Four Wingers" by the Jianghu people: Wang Hui, Xiao Gang, Wang Ruoyu, and Tao Bo.
On the other side sat the popular acquisition team headed by Zhao Yihua.
To be honest, in the face of the sudden popularity and grand takeover offer, the wingers are ...... in confusion.
In 1994, because of playing games at work, Wang Hui and Xiao Gang were fired from the company, and after playing games for a period of time, they went to do the education CD business.
After the four of them met, they found that they all had a common hobby and were obsessed with playing chess and card games, so they soaked in Lianzhong to play chess together, and met Bao Yueqiao, the boss of Lianzhong at that time, so they began to act as an agent for Lianzhong Hangzhou Branch.
By 2000, the four of them had started Wingman Games World together.
At that time, the idea was simple, they liked to play board games, and later they also wrote the game of Go, as well as the famous game of the Four Kingdoms Military Flag.
Later, relying on the advertising space implanted in the game, the winger gained many advertisers at home and abroad, and developed smoothly.
By 2004, Winger had grown into a leading board game developer and operator in China, with 30 million registered users, more than 50 games for users, and more than 200,000 people online at the same time.
The wingers are developing so quickly that the four young people are a little overwhelmed.
When they started wingers, they thought it was just fun, but before they knew it, they had become a big company, with all kinds of complex company operations and management affairs, but they weren't people who liked to take care of these things.
It was at this time that Shanda appeared.
All four of them felt that it was a better choice to exit at this time, and Shanda's valuation was also good, $20 million. Although it is an installment payment, and a VAM agreement must be signed, and the remaining balance will be paid only after the winger's performance income in the next year, but at the current development rate of the winger, this kind of VAM and performance indicators are completely stress-free.
The talks have already been almost done, and Shanda has also completed the preliminary due diligence, when both parties are ready to sign the agreement.
The wind is here again!
Zhao Yihua, director of investment and acquisition of Fengxing, is a very actionable and courageous person, he first saw the winger four less, and proposed that Fengxing is very optimistic about the winger, and after the acquisition of Haofang, the game business of Fengxing has covered the vast majority of the user base, the only thing missing, is the middle-aged and elderly, stable urban local user group represented by the winger.
To this end, Fengxing will fully consider the requirements of the winger, whether it is from the valuation, or the subsequent business development.
Because of the acquisition experience of Haofang, Zhao Yihua is very clear about the conditions of the grand acquisition.
The two points he put forward obviously touched the hearts of the wingers at once.
First, a one-time payment was made at a valuation of $21 million. There are no VAM clauses and performance income indicators.
Second, Fengxing will not make any adjustments to the existing company personnel of the winger, if the four young people are ready to cash out and leave the field (Lin Feng gave him instructions, the four young people no longer want to continue to be wingers), the other personnel will stay in office and enjoy the salary of the popular company, and no one person will be laid off.
Fengxing only sent the top management team in.
This is indeed a great psychological comfort for the four people who are preparing to sell the company and feel guilty about the current employees.
It's just that they have already talked to Shanda before...... , now the wind is halfway in, although the conditions given are very good.
The four of them are still a little unable to pull down.
So they told Shanda about the terms of the popular acquisition and continued to wait for Shanda's bid.
Chen Danian gritted his teeth, okay, the purchase price also mentioned 21 million, but there must be a gambling agreement, and the four of them need to stay for another 1 year, after all, no one knows if the four founders are gone, and the winger will collapse in an instant.
The company that spent $21 million to buy should at least ensure a smooth transition. I don't know what Fengxing is thinking here, why is his heart so big?
Lin Feng doesn't care, the memories of his previous life show that after the four young people cashed out and left, the wingers still developed very well.
After all, the winger game platform has been formed, the product, platform, and user group are very stable, and the daily operation and management are not complicated.
In this way, it is better to have prevailing conditions.
That's it, back and forth negotiations.
Fengxing is not in a hurry, for Lin Feng, the longer the acquisition of Hangzhou wingers drags on, the more lively the better.
In this way, the four wingers found themselves suddenly becoming fragrant and gluttonous, and were scrambled by the two bigwigs of Fengxing and Shanda.
That's good, let's raise the price on both sides, and we will be the ones who take advantage in the end! The four wingers are very happy.
In Chen Danian's opinion, he felt that Fengxing's attitude was a bit weird!
obviously carried out a surprise attack on the eve of the grand listing, and took advantage of the grandeur's unpreparedness to take down the winger in one fell swoop.
But after Chen Danian rushed to Hangzhou and joined the negotiations in charge of the overall situation, he found that Fengxing was not in a hurry anymore, and it seemed that everyone was negotiating back and forth, looking like they were talking slowly.
Chen Danian fed back the situation to Chen Tianqiao, who had returned to Shanghai.
As a strategist, Chen Tianqiao thought for a long time and spit out three words: "Smoke bombs!"
It is estimated that Fengxing has another big plan, and the winger acquisition has become a cover for another battlefield!
"Big Year, no matter what plans Fengxing has, Haofang has been snatched away by Fengxing, wingers are very important for the grand game layout, and now there is Fengxing disrupting the situation, the conditions can be appropriately relaxed, take it down as soon as possible, I have a little bad premonition. Chen Tianqiao commanded.
So Chen Danian contacted the winger Sishao again and happily agreed to acquire it according to the conditions given by Fengxing.
This is the scene where the winger Sishao talks with Zhao Yihua's team again.
Zhao Yihua was happy when he heard the winger Sishao say that Shanda was also under the same conditions.
"That's it, a few CEOs, it's quite troublesome for us to come and go, I'll convey a sentence from Lin Feng, the big boss of Fengxing Company, no matter how much Shanda offers, Fengxing will add 1 million, what do you think?"
The four young men looked at each other, this is domineering!
This offer is not easy to mention to Shanda, in case Chen Tianqiao also comes to the popular sentence no matter how much, Shanda will also add 1 million, isn't it a joke?
Zhao Yihua looked at the embarrassment of the four people, and said with a smile: "It's okay, the four of you can think about it slowly, I believe you have already seen that Fengxing is very confident in the integration and development after the acquisition of the winger, and soon, Fengxing will have a new heavyweight business online!
