Chapter 278: Quality Assets
Chen Haipeng led the team to stay in a five-star hotel in Shanghai and wait for Liang Meiqin's evaluation report.
After a few days, the preliminary results were available.
Liang Meiqin walked into Chen Haipeng's room with the evaluation report she had made in the past few days and found that Mu Qizhong was also inside. Mu Qizhong was sitting on the sofa in the living room drinking tea, while Chen Haipeng was facing away from him, facing the window, looking outside.
"Mr. Mou" Liang Meiqin said to Mu Qizhong, seeing that Mu Qizhong nodded and then said to Chen Haipeng, who had his back to everyone: "Mr. Chen, the preliminary assessment results have come out, do you want to take a look?"
Mu Qizhong stretched out his hand to Liang Meiqin and said, "Show it to me."
Liang Meiqin handed the assessment report in her hand to Mu Qizhong.
Chen Haipeng turned around at this time and said to Liang Meiqin: "Director Liang, you tell us the general situation of this assessment first."
"Okay" Liang Meiqin said: "After a preliminary investigation, the overall situation of Yi Force is good, and it is now a private network company, and the general manager Zhang Bo is the former CEO of Bright Future Electronics, and is promoting an online game in South Korea "Knife Online"
"What about the financial situation?" asked Chen Haipeng.
"The capital chain of the Yi Force is very tight, according to the promotion contract of the game "Knife Online", if you can't bring in funds or loans, it is likely that before the game "Knife Online" is launched, the capital chain of the Yi Force will be broken and face bankruptcy," Liang Meiqin said.
Chen Haipeng pondered for a moment and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"No," Liang Meiqin said.
"Mr. Liang, when you inspected, how did you feel about the distribution ability of Yi Force?" Mou Qizhong suddenly interjected.
"Yi Force's distribution ability is particularly strong, basically inheriting the strong distribution ability of the original Bright Future Electronics, and there are distributors in all provinces of China," Liang Meiqin said: "Because Bright Future Electronics has represented many classic games before, each distribution has already made a lot of money, and the distribution ability has been enhanced a lot. The game "Knife Online" that is being promoted now is said to have been installed 30 million units, and basically all the larger cities in the country have been covered."
Chen Haipeng and Mu Qizhong glanced at each other when they heard this, and said, "It can basically meet our needs."
"Then when you inspected, did you know why Zhang Bo was suddenly in a hurry to sell Yi Force?" asked Mu Qizhong.
"I don't know," Liang Meiqin said: "But according to the results of our investigation, all the assets of Yi Power are calculated and the valuation is about 50 million." The price offered to us by the Yi Force is obviously low"
"Mr. Chen, what was the purchase price that Zhang Bo offered us last time?" Mu Qizhong looked at Chen Haipeng and asked.
"Zhang Bo offered us 30 million yuan last time, but let us complete the acquisition as soon as possible and close it as soon as possible," Chen Haipeng said.
"It seems that there is indeed a problem with the Yi forces, otherwise Zhang Bo would not have made us so much cheaper, and he looked like he was eager for us to take over the Yi forces immediately" Mu Qizhong analyzed: "You say, could it be, what is wrong with the game "Knife Online" that they represent this time?"
Chen Haipeng nodded when he heard this, and said, "It's very likely."
"Mr. Liang, you arrange someone to inspect this Korean game represented by Yi Power this time" Chen Haipeng said, and said to Mu Qizhong: "If Zhang Bo asks us to inspect this game, it means that there is nothing wrong with the game, if you don't let us investigate, it means that it is really a problem with this game."
Mu Qizhong nodded yes.
Three days later, Liang Meiqin brought Yi Forces to agree to the request of Epoch Capital to inspect "Knife Online", and reported that the structure after the inspection was ideal.
Chen Haipeng and Mou Qizhong were not satisfied with the results of this investigation, and always felt that there was something wrong, and they did not start the acquisition again for a long time.
Just when Zhang Bo was anxiously waiting, Mou Qizhong proposed a genius idea to Chen Haipeng:
"Since Yi Force doesn't have any other projects now, there is only one game "Knife Online", and it is still in the promotion stage. Then we can only acquire the excellent assets of Yi Force, the agency of the game "Knife Online". The game has now been promoted, and only 30% of the follow-up fees remain unsettled. We can completely get the distribution channel of Yi Power by the way when we settle the final payment. And since we only acquire high-quality assets of Yi Force, the price will definitely be much cheaper, and there is no need to worry about being pitted."
Chen Haipeng listened to Mu Qizhong's suggestion, his eyes lit up, and he said: "This method is good, which can not only avoid unknown traps, but also achieve the purpose of our acquisition." I just don't know if the Yi forces will agree to our plan."
"You can try this first, but if it doesn't work, we can buy other game companies," Mou Qizhong said, although he also knew that it would be very difficult to find such a suitable company.
"Then let's try it," Chen said.
The revised acquisition plan was finally placed on Zhang Bo's desk.
Zhang Bo saw neither anger nor joy after seeing it, only doubts.
A few days later, Yi Li and Epoch Ventures began rapid negotiations.
"Mr. Chen, you have to be clear, even if you only buy the excellent assets of Yi Force, the price we give will not be much lower," Zhang Bo said as soon as they met.
"It doesn't matter, we still have this money at Epoch Ventures," Chen Haipeng said.
In order to dispel Zhang Bo's concerns and avoid unknown risks, Chen Haipeng said with the face of an upstart.
"As long as you agree, of course there is no problem on my side," Zhang Bo said with a smile.
Finally sold the assets in his hand at a good price, Zhang Bo was very happy.
"There's nothing wrong with us here," Mr. Chen said.
In the unexpectedly fast negotiations between the two sides, Epoch Ventures and Yi Power reached an agreement.
Yi Power agreed to sell the agency rights of "Knife Online" to Epoch Ventures for 20 million, and Epoch Ventures was responsible for repaying the follow-up costs of the promotion of the game "Knife Online".
After Chen Haipeng signed the contract with Yi Force, he put forward a special request to Yi Force.
"Mr. Zhang, in order to facilitate the repayment of the follow-up expenses of the issuer, can you seconded the staff of your distribution department to us for a period of time," Chen Haipeng said.
"Of course you can," Zhang Bo said indifferently.
In this way, Chen Haipeng spent 20 million yuan to get a complete and wide-ranging game distribution channel, and also got an online game that is about to be launched for profit.
A few months after signing the contract with Yi Force, Chen Haipeng and Mu Qizhong finally got the reason why Zhang Bo actively sold Yi Force at a low price from an Internet news, and they were also glad about their decision.
