The fierce bidding is not only on the coast of Vila, but also the bidding of "Xichu", "Sony" and "Disney" for the "digital field" has also entered the white-hot stage, and at this time it has entered the seventeenth round of bidding negotiations......

At this time, "Xichu" had raised the purchase price from the initial cash payment of $20 million to $31 million, and most of the companies had given up at this time, only "Sony" and "Disney" were still entangled. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The first two days of bidding did not make progress, today's negotiations have lasted nine hours, for everyone's energy is a huge drain, the difficulty in front of Cheng Xiaoyu is that "Sony" and "Disney" have formed an offensive and defensive alliance, according to James Walker's inference, "Disney", which is good at animation production, is obviously here for the crucial technology of "real-time rendering", if "Sony" is willing to share this technology with "Disney", the alliance between the two is actually easy to reach.......

The bankruptcy judge prefers to sell the "digital domain" to the powerful "Sony" or "Disney" because, in his view, it is clearly more beneficial to the future of the "digital domain" and is responsible for the employees and future of the "digital domain".

However, the creditor committee is inclined to sell the assets to the higher-priced "Xichu", after all, the "Xichu" is willing to settle all the remaining problems with cash, while "Sony" and "Disney" are only willing to take on part of the debt and bind the creditors in the form of equity.......

Cheng Xiaoyu sat in the venue but was a little impatient, in essence, he was not a qualified businessman, he was not willing to bargain with others, according to his idea, it was to spend more money and less trouble, but as Cheng Xiaoyu's consultant team, James Walker insisted on the principle that Cheng Xiaoyu must listen to him, and grind slowly with the other party, if the premium paid is too high, it will also damage his reputation.......

For Cheng Xiaoyu, there is still an invisible gap between him and this other person, it is too easy for him to make money, so he lives on a completely different level - the level of the game.

While others can't understand Cheng Xiaoyu's casualness, they live in a real world full of unknowns, reasons, and reasons......

Looking at Cheng Xiaoyu, who was slowly losing patience, James Walker suggested introducing a strategic partner, such as "Universal" or "Industrial Light & Magic", in order to win the trust of the bankruptcy judge, Cheng Xiaoyu still hoped to be able to control the full amount after thinking about life and death, because "Universal" and "Industrial Light & Magic" were too powerful, Cheng Xiaoyu was a little worried about losing control of the R&D team, so he didn't want to do it, he shook his head and said to James Walker: "It doesn't matter if you spend more money, I need absolute control.......

James Walker said: "Mr. Cheng, you have to think very carefully, is Huaxia Film's requirement for special effects so urgent? If you buy the 'digital field' and can't get enough business in Huaxia, it will be difficult to sustain the operation...... You must know that in addition to Universal, other Hollywood studios will definitely not give you any business in order to squeeze you....... And your own film company is also mainly small-budget production, which is a huge burden and risk for you, do you still insist on paying an excess premium to buy?"

There is also a reason why Cheng Xiaoyu is so insistent and can't say it for the time being, he nodded and said: "Mr. James, thank you for the reminder, but I have enough reasons to buy him and add another million dollars........"

At this time, the negotiation has entered the thirteenth hour, the nineteenth round of bidding, "Xichu" once again raised the purchase price by 1 million, and the creditor committees on the table have turned their heads to each other, for this price, they feel that it is more appropriate, like the bankruptcy judge filed an arbitration application.......

Bankruptcy Judge Wharton Brown exclaimed, "Do the remaining two parties participating in the bidding still have any objections to this price?"

Kenichiro Takahashi raised his hand and stood up and said, "'Digital Field' is one of the four major special effects companies in Hollywood, and its track record in the film and advertising industries is extremely brilliant, and the collaborators are all international customers. 'Digital Field' is good at exquisite picture design and unparalleled texture expression, has the industry's top CG technology research and development strength, and holds 7 Oscars (3 Best Special Effects Awards, 4 Science and Technology Contribution Awards). Nuke, the industry's most popular compositing software, also originated from the company's R&D department. It is extremely irresponsible to sell such a high-end special effects company as 'digital field' to a Huaxia film company with a registered capital of only five million US dollars, because you must know that its main customers of high-end technology are Hollywood blockbusters, and without a budget of $50 million, $80 million, or $100 million, this technology cannot be used....... The only way to make the decision is to hand over the 'digital realm' to a big company like 'Sony' or 'Disney'...... I hope that the creditor committee and the judge will carefully consider whether it is important to pay a million dollars or to be a brand with a glorious history and a bright future...... The purpose of our business is to make money, but it does not mean that we are only interested in profit, not only pursuing immediate interests, but having more long-term goals. ”

Bankruptcy Judge Wharton Brown turned to the members of the bankruptcy committee and asked, "What do you think?" The bankruptcy committee also began to argue fiercely, and some people thought that the terms given by "Sony" were not bad, although the equity could not be realized for the time being, but the equity in his hand could also appreciate.......

Cheng Xiaoyu sneered and raised his hand, the bankruptcy judge nodded Cheng Xiaoyu to speak, he also stood up, smiled at Kenichiro Takahashi and said: "35 million US dollars........ "Xichu" is willing to pay a premium of 75 percent........ Does Sony, a major international company, have such sincerity?"

Kenichiro Takahashi can sit in the position of vice president of "Sony", naturally he is an old fox, Cheng Xiaoyu, who has not spoken, suddenly jumped out to lead the bidding, and immediately leaked the bottom line of "Xichu", that is, the ambition is bound to win....... $35 million is already beyond the reach of "Sony", and there is no need to continue......

But Kenichiro Takahashi sneered and said: "If 'Xichu' gives up 40 million US dollars, 'Sony' will give up the bid...... I'm afraid you don't have the strength to ......"

Of course, Cheng Xiaoyu knew that Kenichiro Takahashi was a radical general, but he didn't want to show weakness, for the sake of the next "Baidai" bidding, but also to let the other party have a wrong impression of him, he pretended to be fooled, smiled contemptuously at Kenichiro Takahashi, and said arrogantly: "You can't afford to pay 40 million US dollars? Then 40 million! You 'Sony' can get out of ........"

Hearing Cheng Xiaoyu's words, the tense atmosphere in the entire venue has been relaxed, and most people looked at Cheng Xiaoyu, who looked a little arrogant, with incredible eyes, as if they suspected that he was joking, compared to the 20 million US dollars of the "fake horse auction", the premium has more than doubled at this moment, and even the creditor committee sitting on the stage feels that they have picked up a big bargain.

More than just others found it unbelievable, James Walker's face turned the color of pig liver, for him, failing to help his employer save money was a failure of their work, and he was also extremely distressed by Cheng Xiaoyu's extra $10 million.

The people of "Disney" seem to have settled down, and while packing up their things, they are talking about Cheng Xiaoyu, a "loser", .......

Yi Yunfei and Chen Haoran also smiled bitterly and didn't know what to say for Cheng Xiaoyu's willfulness, only Charlize Theron had gold stars in his eyes, and felt that Cheng Xiaoyu's appearance of spending a lot of money was too handsome........

Kenichiro Takahashi thought that his plan had succeeded, and a few words made Cheng Xiaoyu pay an extra $5 million premium, and suddenly felt that Cheng Xiaoyu might really not understand the third generation of Huaxiahong, and spent an extra $10 million to buy a company that was not of much use to him, he smiled and applauded with a satisfied "haha" and said: "Director Cheng, it's really generous...... I hope that the 'digital realm' will be carried forward in your hands......."

He has already begun to think about how to unite with other companies to squeeze out the 'digital field', the special effects films of 'Universal' are basically handed over to 'Industrial Light and Magic', even if there is a business leakage, it is still some small business, and it can't make money at all, as long as it cooperates with other film companies, it can cut off the source of the 'digital field' in Hollywood......

However, the demand for special effects production in the Chinese market is far less than that of Hollywood, and the main business is also concentrated in the middle and low-end markets......

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't bother to pay attention to Kenichiro Takahashi at all, and said to the bankruptcy judge: "There should be no objection to everyone now, right?"

The bankruptcy judge turned his head to look at the "creditor committee" on the side again, and it was impossible for him to continue to stop such a high premium.......
