Chapter 53 Transactions with the Morgan Consortium
Following the 'world wind', the storm fist company blew another 'plant wind'. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Plants vs. Zombies is launched worldwide, earning $3 billion a month. From the beginning of its creation, it took less than half a year to become a world-class game production company. The current Storm Fist company can be said to be known to everyone. Some experts also pointed out that the success of Riot Punch may change the marketing model of the entire game industry, and free-to-play games will become mainstream.
The company can now be regarded as wealthy, with 2.5 billion US dollars in working capital alone, and directly sold a 30-story building as the company's headquarters building at a high price, and the company's employees have increased to more than 1,000 people.
Summer is meeting a middle-aged man in his 40s at a fancy restaurant.
Summer wears a tailored black suit and high-end leather shoes, and a blue tie. Summer is very aggrieved, wearing this 90,009 suit is not as comfortable as the 90,000 nine, but this time he represents the entire company, and he can't deal with it casually.
The middle-aged man was the first to speak, "I finally met Mr. Summer, the mysterious chairman of the Storm Fist Company, and let me introduce myself, I am Fürth Hodder." ”
Summer said lightly: "Let's start directly." ”
Fürth doesn't talk nonsense either: "Our Morgan consortium wants to buy 60% of your company for $10 billion." ”
Summer didn't speak, but cut off a piece of steak and ate it. After eating, he slowly spoke, "Mr. Fürth thinks my company can be worth 20 billion?" ”
Fürth laughed: "Of course! ”
Summer also smiled, and smiled disdainfully, "You actually set a price for a game company, and you set a price of 20 billion US dollars." ”
Fürth's face was a little uncomfortable: "Mr. Summer, what do you mean by this?" ”
Summer said: "In my opinion, game companies are actually not worth a penny, what is really valuable is the wisdom and hard work of the employees. What does our company rely on from scratch? I dare to say it without shame, it's me! If you insist on buying a company, you're buying an empty shell. ”
Fürth wiped his sweat, "How is Mr. Xia going to cooperate?" ”
Xia said lightly: "For $5 billion, I'll give you 10% of the shares." You protect the growth of our company. ”
Fürth sharply refused: "This can't be! ”
Summer was silent for a while, and then continued: "Our company has been established for less than half a year, and has earned nearly 6 billion US dollars, and it will only be more in the future. Isn't 5 billion enough for you to get 10% of the shares? You know, you're not the only giant targeting our company, and you're not the only one who can protect our company. You should know what I mean. ”
Fürth was a little nervous, this young man who was only 18 years old was too powerful, neither humble nor arrogant, calm and calm. What he is most afraid of encountering is not a strong opponent, but a calm opponent.
Fürth said eagerly: "Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?" We don't have to take such a big risk. ”
Summer immediately asked rhetorically, "Could it be that Mr. Fürth, like the people outside, thinks that our success is luck?" Then why do you come to us for cooperation, and why spend 10 billion to buy an empty shell? Before Fürth could answer, Summer asked again, "Do you have the final say in the Morgan consortium?" ”
Fürth replied, "Of course not. ”
Summer simply packed up and prepared to leave, "You go back and tell them that Mr. Will can create a company with a market value of 300 billion, and his students can create a company with a market value of 50 billion?" Before dark, I want to hear your reply, and if we can't get along, then I'll have to change to another one. With that, he got up and left.
On the top floor of the Punch Company building, in Darry's office, Summer, Darry, and Sam are all there.
Darry gave a thumbs up to Summer, "Worthy of being Mr. Will's heir, it's really amazing." ”
Xia said modestly: "No, no, I just read online novels a lot." "Neither of them understood what Summer was talking about.
Sam looked at the papers in his hand and asked Summer, "What is the use of this 'battlenet' that you proposed in Summer?" ”
"Battle.net is a direct way to connect to the Internet, which allows gamers from all over the world to venture out and travel with each other. Moreover, we will adopt the method of real-name registration to protect the security of player accounts, and we can also make some relevant anti-addiction measures for minors. In the future, 'Battle.net' will be the symbol of our company." ”
Darui nodded, "After the completion of this project, our company will definitely be able to rise to a new height." ”
Sam finished reading the document in his hand and said to Summer: "There is nothing wrong with the online game project you proposed, but the problem of the single-player game project is too big. First of all, many players don't have that high computer configuration at all, so they can't play this game. There's also the biggest problem, it's a first-person shooter game that you've infringed on. ”
After listening to Sam's words, Summer thought about this question. The games of this world are not what you want to copy, and you can copy if you want to.
Summer asked, "Is there any solution?" ”
"We can start with a 'life and death' company to apply for authorization. ”
Summer immediately agreed, "Okay, I'll leave it to you." ”
Sam added, "What about the game configuration?" ”
Summer smiled and said: "This is too easy to solve, our game does two versions, a low-profile version and a standard version." The low-profile version, the picture is relatively rough, and the requirements for the launcher are not so high. The standard version requires a high-spec computer. Sam also thinks it's a good idea.
Darry was silent for a moment before turning to Summer, "Do you have faith in this game?" ”
If it were a born-again person standing next to Summer and asking this question, Summer would definitely be over with a slap in the face, "MD, you actually don't have faith in Call of Duty?" ”
Summer said lightly: "This 'Call of Duty: Black Ops' definitely has unlimited potential, and if it succeeds, we can make a series." Hearing Summer say this, Dari was also relieved.
At this time, Summer's phone rang, and sure enough, it was Fürth calling.
"Mr. Fürth? What is your consortium considering? ”
After listening to Fürth's words, Summer was silent for a while, but still agreed.
The two hurried over to ask about the results of Summer, and Summer said: "They plan to exchange 7 billion for 15% of the shares, and I agreed." ”
7 billion for 15%, although the consortium has earned, it is not a loss in the summer, at least before the riot company can be effectively protected before it becomes a true 7 positive giant.
Now there is a net worth of more than 10 billion in the summer, and it only took half a year.
In the summer, he wanted to transfer 5% of the shares to Darui, but Darui still refused to accept it. Helplessly, he could only sell it to Dary for $100 million in the summer, and Darui accepted it. Although 100 million US dollars is a lot, Darui can still get it. I have to say that being able to recruit Darui into the company is the most correct decision to do in the summer, Darui is honest and has strong work ability.
In the summer, Sam transferred another 2% stake, and of course this guy accepted it with peace of mind. Darry didn't say anything about it, Sam was indeed an indispensable core member of the company.
