Chapter 341: Various Acquisitions
Christie couldn't read Li Mo's thoughts.
Judging from the current popularity of the mobile game market, it is not difficult to see that it will not decline even in the next few years. At this time, shouldn't you invest more in the development of mobile games, but also get into the development of unfamiliar large-scale games?
Obviously this is a sinkhole.
If he didn't know Philip, he would have thought that this was Li Mo shaking a shot, an excuse to shirk.
Of course, he doesn't just take one side of the story and make arbitrary decisions. Through SoftBank's information channels, Zach Becky, CEO of DY Studios, has been in frequent contact with various independent game studios abroad.
In this way, he has to think seriously about the issue of investment.
After pondering for two days at the hotel and comparing a lot of information, Christie gave up.
"Eka, if you can... I hope you can test Li Mo with me, I want to get his % shares. โ
As soon as the big Spanish fat man turned around, he began to ponder this. Since Studio DY doesn't know how to invest, it's better to concentrate on the more potential.
Eka was silent for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Christie.... Li Mo is also a friend of mine. โ
In business, Li Mo did not do anything to be sorry for. And he also took out real money to invest, if he teamed up with Christie to kick Li Mo out, he didn't know how to face the employees of the studio.
Although Li Mo has only been to the headquarters once, many people are very happy with this generous, generous and nonchalant investor, thinking that this way they can be creative and make the games they want to make.
Although Christie was a little embarrassed by the rejection, there was nothing he could do. Shrugging his shoulders, he began to pack his things and prepare to leave Seoul.
Eka Pannanen stayed for an extra day, catching up with Philip and others, and apologized to Li Mo by the way. This time, he was really obsessed, not only did he not get any benefits, but his relationship with Li Mo reached a freezing point.

"I think their concerns are normal, but I actually have a question. Boss: What was your idea for getting involved in large-scale game development? โ
Philip, as Li Mo's investment advisor, couldn't understand Li Mo's move.
"Hmm... If I were rich and capricious... Would you believe it? Li Mo's face flushed, this decision was really made by him patting his head, but because of his previous wise leadership, Zach Becky supported his decision despite his doubts, even the game video live streaming website.
"I believe in money, willful words... You can't talk about it yet, boss, I've seen rich people who are more wayward than you. In contrast, I feel like boss you're more like... Well... I guess it's casual. Philip laughed.
"And do you think you should stop these two plans?"
Philip pondered for a moment and replied cautiously, "No, diversification is also a good choice." However, the investment needs to be reduced, and the excess funds should be used to expand the mobile game team. And boss, don't forget about your homeland, it's time to enter this huge market. โ
Li Mo's current industry in Huaxia has a barbecue chain, and Cui Yongze, the former chairman of Weimei Group, has been sent to Qindao by him to start building a brand. At the same time, the purchase of farms and the cultivation of high-quality beef cattle reported that Cui Yongze has been reviewed by Li Mo many times.
Without Philip's reminder, he was ready to find a time to return home. The main purpose is to throw money at it, and now there are more game studios expanding.
There is also the selection of suitable agents for the three popular games of DY Studios, otherwise it is just relied on, and it does not give full play to its earning power at all. Not to mention that in Huaxia, it is a waste existence.
Three days later, Zach Becky returned to Seoul after his visit.
As soon as this guy saw Li Mo, he shouted excitedly, "Boss, I found a very interesting game... Although it's rubbish right now... But I think there's definitely potential. โ
"Okay, take your time."
"It's a... Well... A competitive game that blends racing and football. In fact, they launched it in 08, and unfortunately it hit the street directly. These guys still haven't given up, and while taking on outsourced jobs to maintain their operations, they continue to go back to the furnace and redo. โ
Zach Becky explained, and took out the information he got to explain to Li Mo.
Li Mo looked at it, and the studio named had obviously made some efforts to attract investment. The introductory video was specially made to show the history of the studio and the projects being developed at this time.
Li Mo didn't say that the Chinese name is 'Super Acrobatic Rocket Powered Combat Vehicle', and the English name of the game is what the quality is, first of all, there has been a failure experience This article attracted his attention.
Since its inception in 2000, both games have come to a dismal end, and they have been reduced to outsourcing other game jobs to stay afloat while continuing to improve their games.
This perseverance deserves to be commended.
And what makes Li Mo even more excited is that the studio has outsourced many big games, such as "Gears of War", "XCOM: Unknown Enemy" and "Mass Effect 3", which shows that it has accumulated good technology and experience. And he also has experience in the research and development of mobile games, which makes Li Mo even more satisfied.
"Have you talked to their CEO about being bought by us?"
Zach Becky grinned, "Boss, you're underestimating the power of the dollar. In a studio like this kind of difficult operation, someone invests in it, and the CEO makes you a cow and a horse. โ
Li Mo made a decisive decision, "Then you can go one more time to buy the studio, and by the way, let them make a report on how much development funds are needed for this super rocket, and I will approve it if it is appropriate." โ
"Boss, I strongly request an extra vacation!" Zach Becky said bitterly, he just came back and wanted to go back, so he might as well ask the assistant to bring the information back to Li Mo, so as to save himself from running at both ends and exhausting himself.
Glancing at Zach Becky, Li Mo said slowly, "Excellent employees..." โ
Zach Becky's attitude instantly became correct, "Don't worry, boss, I'll use the best price to ensure that nothing goes wrong." โ
Equity incentives, Zach Becky is ready to rush back to the United States again with tears in his eyes. Although he knew that Li Mo was just joking with him, the equity incentive at the end of the year gave him and Todd Ellen were almost certain to be able to get the shares that Li Mo had gifted. But currying favor with the big boss to get more is the truth, and he doesn't want to be overtaken by Todd's big bear.
In addition to acquisitions, in the following days, DY Studio made frequent moves, constantly spending money to buy various mobile game studios, and all of them had teams with different styles to make up for the shortcomings of DY Studio.
After streamlining and merging, DY Studios has more than 500 employees, and the games developed at the same time include the missing racing games, sports games, card games, and so on.
Li Mo's money-throwing behavior was called 'tentacle action' by a financial newspaper, saying that Li Mo tried to use mergers and acquisitions to create his own mobile game kingdom. As for those that were also acquired, they were directly ignored.
After a busy day, he also ushered in his own relaxing trip - followed Kim Taeyeon to Wanwan for the second stop of the Girls' Generation world tour.
