Chapter 42: Forced Purchase of Konami (1)

After thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't make a decision, Zhang Lexing decided to ask a professional to help, so he dialed Yang Xinxin's office, and as expected, he found Mai Jiajun.

"Dude, there's something I'd like to ask. ”

"Lexing, just say something. ”

"I want to acquire a game company in Japan, and I have some company information on hand, but I can't find a suitable acquisition target......

"And what do you want from the company being acquired?"

"With strong game development strength, the games launched by the company have a high market rate, and it is easy to complete the acquisition ......"

"And what's the problem you're having right now?"

"Either the company is too small to make a purchase, or the company is too financially good to start. ”

"It's hard for me to give you advice right away on the phone, it's best if you can give me a copy of the information, so that it can be analyzed, if you have ...... aspects, it's best to meet and talk, and you can see it."

"Then I'll just come to San Jose and study it together when the time comes. "Zhang Lexing doesn't have much to do now, the company's daily management and game development have already been done, but there is no need for Zhang Lexing to do everything, so he simply went out to give this matter.

"See you in San Jose then, remember to bring the information. After Mak Jiajun finished speaking, the phone was hung up......

Three days later, Zhang Lexing traveled to San Jose via San Francisco International Airport, where he met Mak Ka Chun and Yang Xinxin again.

As soon as they met, Yang Xinxin pulled Zhang Lexing and asked a long question: "Brother, are you still used to staying in China? Is your company doing well? Do you know any beautiful girl?......

A lot of questions came in, which made Zhang Lexing a little overwhelmed, but fortunately, Mai Jiajun spoke out to relieve the siege: "Xin'er, Lexing came here this time because of important matters that need to be discussed, we will give this matter first, and then there will be time for you to slowly 'interrogate'." ”

Temporarily escaping Yang Xinxin's questioning, the three of them came to the sofa in the office and sat down, and Zhang Lexing took out the investigation report on Japanese game companies from his briefcase.

Mai Jiajun took the information and looked at it carefully, and after a while, he asked: "I think you plan to buy a game company, you must want to enhance the competitiveness of the company, then you have to consider a company with a certain strength." ”

Zhang Lexing nodded and said: "It's true, although a company that is too small is easy to acquire, if you want to continue to expand the scale, then you have to invest a lot of money and manpower, so it is better to choose a company with stronger strength." ”

Mak Jiajun flipped to page 56, pointed to a name on it and said, "In that case, I think I can choose this company." ”

Zhang Lexing leaned over to take a look, it turned out to be Konami (Konami) Company, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "But the current economic situation of Konami Company is very stable, and it is a listed company that does not need to worry about the source of funds, and its business performance looks very good, so it is too difficult." ”

Mai Jiajun waved his ring finger and said: "It's not you who think, the reason why I acquired this company is that Konami is now operating quite well, and the financial report shows that the economic situation is very good, so that the operation of the company will be easier after the acquisition is completed." There is a little difficulty in acquisition, but as long as it is a listed company, it can always find weaknesses. You don't have enough details on this information, so I'll ask a friend to get to know Konami and maybe find out where I can use it. ”

After speaking, Mai Jiajun came to the desk, picked up the phone and dialed out, muttered a bunch of words, then returned to the sofa, made an OK gesture, and said, "It's done, I've gone to help me investigate, and there will definitely be feedback within three hours." ”

"Okay, okay, two busy people, let's try the red bar, which is said to be 82 years old. After a while, I don't know where Yang Xinxin got a bottle of red wine and three glasses, which is quite magical.

"Sister Xin, this is different from your previous style. Zhang Lexing was joking, and his eyes deliberately drifted to Mai Jiajun next to him.

"Okay, brother, now even my sister's jokes are casually opened. Yang Xinxin glanced at Mai Jiajun, and asked rhetorically with the usual face: "Tell me honestly, did you have a girlfriend?"

Mai Jiajun next to him has a posture of looking at his nose and nose, and he looks like he doesn't listen to the things around him and has nothing to do with himself, he can be as honest as he wants, it seems that a lot of things have really happened during the time that Zhang Lexing left.

Regarding Yang Xinxin's question, Zhang Lexing really didn't know how to answer, to say that he had never officially had a girlfriend over the years because of his busy affairs, and he had never met anyone who made him feel excited after returning to China, but it seemed a bit difficult to get over it if he wanted to say it directly. After a while, Yang Xinxin didn't keep dwelling on this question, seeing that Zhang Lexing seemed unwilling to answer, he asked what happened during the time he returned to China. This topic is easy to say, and the two in front of him are not outsiders, so Zhang Lexing introduced the situation some time ago in 1510.

"Okay, brother, you quietly bought a satellite TV, and now you have a stake in Standard Chartered Bank, your career is really getting more and more prosperous. After listening to Zhang Lexing's introduction, Yang Xinxin sighed, and then said: "By the way, brother, the game academy you said is to work hard on the faculty, I have an idea, you still have a little relationship in the game industry anyway, why not invite some familiar game designers to give a special lecture or something, although it is not as helpful as a full-time teacher, but at least it can help your students broaden their design ideas." ”

Yang Xinxin's words suddenly opened up a new world for Zhang Lexing, yes, why bother insisting that someone else must be a full-time teacher, and appropriately holding some special lectures can also give those students experience in increasing their experience, and as soon as he thought of Sid Mayer, Will White, John Carmack, Richard Gallriot and others going to his game academy to give a speech, Zhang Lexing couldn't help but feel excited, you can imagine what a spectacular scene it will be, and I believe that the source of students in the game academy is no longer a problem.

When the three of them were chatting, the special fax machine in Yang Xinxin's office rang, and soon the thermal paper in the fax machine began to slowly come out, and it seemed that a fax was coming. Mai Jiajun got up and walked over to take a look, and then made an OK gesture at Zhang Lexing, I didn't expect that Mai Jiajun's ability was quite strong, and he said for three hours, and there was really information back within three hours. After a long creaking sound, the fax was finished, and Mak Ka-chun folded the large pile of fax paper, then used the paper cutter on the desk to cut it into pages, and then used a stapler to bind it, and then took it and threw it in front of Zhang Lexing.

"That's it, it's a more detailed information, you can take a look at it first. Mak Ka Chun went back to the sofa and sat down, picked up his glass of red wine again and tasted it slowly.

Zhang Lexing took it and took a look, it was really much more detailed than his own, not only the company's basic information, financial statements, but also the latest list of shareholders and recent financial situation. Looking at the detailed information on the shareholders' shareholdings, detailed information of shareholders, and the distribution of the shares of the shareholding companies, Zhang Lexing couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Is it ...... so detailed?"

Mai Jiajun waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, it's absolutely true and reliable." ”

"Then do you think this company is likely to be acquired?" Zhang Lexing humbly asked.

"There is a certain degree of difficulty, you see that Konami belongs to a listed company, there are ten shareholding institutions mentioned in this information, such as these last month holdings, last month investment, last month xx foundation, etc., obviously belong to the founder of Konami company Shangyue Jingzheng and others, the relevant institutions of the shareholding conversion is equivalent to owning 28.12% of the equity of Konami company (6,034,046 shares), Zhong Zhen Liangxin owns 11.32% of the equity of Konami company (2, 429,068 shares), Miyatsuo owns 9.08% of Konami (1,948,404 shares), and the three of them together own 48.52% of the shares. The information shows that this year, in order to carry out technological innovation, an additional 2.36 million shares were issued to raise funds, and the equity owned by the three people was diluted to 43.71%. In this case, unless one of the three agrees to the transfer, we will not be able to reach the 60% threshold even if we buy all the remaining shares, but it is still possible to achieve a controlling stake of more than 50%. ”

Zhang Lexing secretly pondered for a while, it really seems that this is really the case, it seems that it is really not easy to acquire Konami. It's a pity that those people under him are good at speculation and investment, but when it comes to corporate mergers and acquisitions, they are not so good at it, Zhang Lexing can't help but think of Mai Jiajun's magical performance in acquiring Yitsubashi Group back then, and his eyes slowly shifted to him.

"What are you looking at me, you don't want to ......" Mai Jiajun noticed Zhang Lexing's expression, shrank back, and waved his hand again and again: "I'm very busy, and the firm still has a lot of business to deal with recently!"

Yang Xinxin turned her face blank and said angrily: "What are you talking about, my brother has something to ask you for, and you are still pushing back." Well, don't you want to ......"

Mai Jiajun was honest again, lowered his head and muttered to himself: "I didn't say no, the office is really in trouble......"

Unexpectedly, things would turn out like this, Zhang Lexing couldn't help but feel funny in his heart, of course, he still said very politely: "Actually, I want to entrust Mr. Mai's firm to help me acquire Konami Company, as for the commission, of course, it will not be less, you see......"

Mai Jiajun's head immediately raised, and he immediately leaned over and said: "No problem, it's all so familiar, I can still give you a discount, how about a ninety-nine discount on the commission, to ensure that you can own this game company without much effort." ”

Zhang Lexing doesn't care if it's discounted or not, as long as he can let himself win Konami: "By the way, then according to the situation of this company, if I want to achieve a complete acquisition, how much capital do I need to prepare?"

Mak touched his shaved chin, thought about it for a while, and said: "The current market value of Konami is about 228.6 million US dollars (28.58 billion yen), and if it is calculated according to the maximum double premium acquisition, it will need to prepare about 457.2 million US dollars, including commissions and other miscellaneous expenses, 500 million US dollars is definitely enough, at least to ensure that the goal of acquiring more than 50% of the shares will be achieved." ”

$500 million is not much, and Oriental Holdings, which has re-replenished the funds, still has $2.6 billion in cash on its books after deducting the funds from the acquisition of shares in Standard Chartered Bank, which is more than enough to buy Konami. The next step was to sign the contract and pay the down payment, and Mak Ka Chun also set up his own team to operate the acquisition, with a total of six people. Originally, Mai Jiajun didn't plan to let Zhang Lexing follow, because he felt that since this kind of acquisition was handed over to his firm, of course it would be handled properly for the client, let alone a relationship like Zhang Lexing. But Zhang Lexing is very curious about this kind of forcible acquisition activities, he has missed the Hitotsubashi Group back then, and now he has another opportunity, so he is naturally unwilling to miss the opportunity to observe.
