Mark. Merrill, this is the name of the white man with short hair in front of him, he looks about thirty years old, with a high nose bridge, I really want to think of an actor in a movie that Lin Yu watched at that time, it seems to be the walking dead, but Lin Yu doesn't remember it too clearly, and now this TV series is naturally coming out, and it seems that it can still be watched in China......

Off topic, Lin Yu coughed dryly and laughed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Soon, after shaking hands with Lin Yu, a group of four people naturally sat on the sofa, and next to Lin Yu, there were two accompanying beautiful translators. Merrill also knew that the two were Lin Yu's translators, so he didn't look for a translator or anything, and there was no company, after all, no one would have thought that he would deal with the country of Huaxia where the time difference was completely half a day, and in a hurry, it was naturally too late to prepare a translator who understood Chinese, as long as it was made up like this, it could also communicate.

"Distinguished guests, our company is a little inadequate, and I'm sorry for that."

Mark. Merrill smiled apologetically.

"I guess our visit was a bit rushed." Lin Yu shook his head and said with a straight smile, "It's just that the game that your company is studying now is exactly what we are interested in, and I hope we can have a more pleasant cooperation." ”

"Really?" After the translation, Mark. Merrill was stunned for a moment, "That's really an honor for our company, but I don't know what Mr. Lin's purpose is, pure investment?" Or do you want to take a stake? "Mark. Merrill looked at Lin Yu with a puzzled expression, and naturally considered what price would be better for them to set when the time came if Lin Yu wanted to buy shares......

After hearing the very direct response from the other side, Lin Yu paused, and then smiled: "Of course I want to buy shares, but ......"

"Oh sorry, maybe I was a bit direct, don't you mind?" Mark. Merrill quickly sighed, "The main thing is that there have been some troubles in the company recently, but I have to say that you are the first to come to the door for investment in Asia, which surprised me." ”

"It's okay."

Lin Yu smiled.

It seems like it's a bit wrong to interrupt people at will, right?

"Ahem, what were you trying to say?" Seems to remember what happened just now, Mark. Merrill was stunned for a moment.

After nodding helplessly, Lin Yu said: "Of course I want to buy shares, but the purpose of my coming here today may be much bigger than this, you have to be mentally prepared in advance." ”

"Oh? And how big is your purpose? "Mark. Merrill seemed to be a little interested, and looked at Lin Yu with a curious expression.

"Quite simply, I'm here to invest in the acquisition of your company." Lin Yu smiled, and the two entourages next to him were stunned for a moment, and then the original words were translated.

They naturally heard about Lin Yu's acquisition of the two companies in South Korea, but they didn't expect to come to the United States this time, it was still an acquisition, but South Korea seems to have just begun, but people here have a mature team, a complete company headquarters, and various departments, etc., if you want to acquire, you may have to spend money is unimaginable, it must be a huge amount of money......

"Acquisition?" Mark. Merrill was stunned for a moment, looked at Lin Yu carefully, and then clapped his hands, "Yes, yes, you are the only one who came to us and wanted to acquire, I can tell you in advance that it is not an easy thing to acquire our company." ”

"Of course, I don't have to come here in person."

Lin Yu's answer made the other side stunned for a moment again, and then burst into laughter.

……

……

That night, Lin Yu returned in vain.

Thinking of what happened at that time during the day, Lin Yu still rubbed his sideburns with a headache, obviously worried about this matter.

Naturally, things during the day were not negotiated, although money can make ghosts grind, when I heard that Lin Yu was going to buy them all, riot studied it for half an hour, and after coming out, it was indeed a price for Lin Yu, but the price opened was sky-high, before this, Lin Yu had a clear valuation of riot's side, not to mention the company's just starting to operate lol, after all, it had only researched more than a dozen heroes, and some equipment, even the most basic summoner canyon was just a concept, This game has just started, and Lin Yu has a good time to come to the United States, but even so, the price over there is a bit high.

Before this, Lin Yu made a valuation of riot, the price on their side, the overall value is about 400~6 million US dollars, which still includes the price of the company's headquarters, and then synthesizes the prices given in many places and a series of places, but at that time during the day, Mark. Merrill and another Riot founder who rushed to hear the news next to him, the price they gave was a high price of 15 million US dollars, a price far more than 6 million US dollars, at that time it was very good, after the acquisition, all the shares of Riot were 100% owned by Lin Yu, after that, Lin Yu wanted to change people or continue to appoint their original team, it was up to him to decide.

It also means that Riot has been established for less than a year, and then the company's achievements have not been developed much, and his original price of 6 million US dollars has tripled, 15 million US dollars, which is a full price of more than 100 million yuan, which has been increased by three times!

If it weren't for Lin Yu's considerable confidence in the future, I'm afraid that this sentence would directly make him retreat, and the transaction would naturally not be able to continue, but it was precisely Lin Yu who knew its future achievements, which was why Lin Yu was a little entangled.

Lin Yu was a little worried now, but it had only been a day, and he was not in a hurry.

It's just that...... Or did you say yes to them?

No, no, no...... The money for the acquisition is equivalent to completely giving the two founders and the people who hold shares when the company is established, if the acquisition is made, the salaries of the employees on the Riot side, as well as the R&D expenses or something, are also a place where Lin Yu needs to invest, just like CF, it is just a change of the company's CEO, and the R&D funds must be allocated on time as usual, and when the time comes, the two founders will have to pay his salary, and then he will have to continue to invest in the company, etc., all the burdens of others before, will be pressed on their shoulders.

That's three times the price!

Presumably, any company that encounters this kind of acquisition may sell it, right?

After all, nothing has been done, just the idea of the game, and some bits and pieces of heroes and equipment, and the company still has nothing to achieve, which is more than three times the price?

Fifteen million dollars, so that Lin Yu's heart is dripping blood.

Either...... Why don't he invest 10 million after he goes back, and let the company's R&D personnel get out LOL by themselves?

After all, no matter the role, whether it is the summoner map or not, this Lin Yu can do it, although it may be a little flawed, but the map in his memory, whether it is a new version or the old version, it is a perfect map, compared with the map that is still in a concept range, it has been ahead for several years, and in the subsequent improvement, it will definitely be better than the current one, not to mention, some S1 to S5 heroes, old heroes, and new heroes and new equipment that came out during this period, etc., Lin Yu remembers it clearly, for LOL, a game that doesn't need any maps, it seems that if he wants to make it, it will be much easier than CF!

It can be said that the content of his head alone may have surpassed that of all designers now.

Lin Yu couldn't help frowning, there was a lot of traffic outside the hotel, and the beach with lights could be seen in the distance, the night in Santa Monica was indeed quite attractive, after frowning, Lin Yu went outside alone, while walking outside, he was naturally still thinking about things in his head, and after thinking for a while, he couldn't help but sigh, it was obvious that the previous way to do the game independently was not good, it didn't work at all.

After all, although others haven't made it, there are already a lot of heroic concepts, and the basic designs have come out, but they are just not perfect, and they are not imitated when they go back? Isn't it going to be sued for infringement?

This must be a loss, but now there is a lot of wanting, and there are two purposes, either to let him retreat from the difficulty, obediently invest in a small share, or buy it directly with deep money, if that is the case, maybe it will be counted, and there will be no loss over there, not to mention no loss, it is a huge profit......

That's a doubling of money, but here, no matter how much, is actually a doubling of money......

After squinting his eyes, Lin Yu looked at the pedestrians around him, and quickly turned around and walked back to the hotel.

Maybe he already has a decision......

……

……

The next day, Lin Yu came to the riot company as promised, and met the marketing director of riot again, of course, next to him, there was another founder, there were more than two people, this one and Mark. Merrill looked a little lower in comparison, and then his beard was also all over his face, which looked inexplicably funny.

"Mr. Lin, do you accept our conditions?" Mark. Merrill looked at Lin Yu, and then smiled, "Actually, you don't have to do this at all, now that you invest five million dollars in us, we can give you thirty percent of the company's shares, if the shares do not meet your standards, you can continue to negotiate, maybe we will give you a little more shares, after all, we really need a source of funds at this time, why not?" ”

Mark. The bearded man next to Merrill is brandonbeck, and his Chinese name is Brandon. Baker, who is also the founder of LOL, has such a big financier in the company, they naturally have an extremely welcoming attitude, and at this time, it is only 2007, in fact, even in Europe and the United States, there are no companies investing in them, and now their products have not come out, and they have not yet attracted investors, Lin Yu in Huaxia is a special case, after all, the MOBA game they are going to develop LOL is just beginning, and I didn't expect to get an investor. It was a bit of a surprise.

Lin Yu was silent for a moment, and then said solemnly as if he had made some decision: "In this way, I am willing to buy your company with a full capital of fifteen million dollars." ”

After a sentence, the two translators next to them were stunned for a moment, when Lin Yu looked at them, the two of them were startled, and they hurriedly translated after reacting, after hearing Lin Yu's words, the two of them were also stunned, and then looked at Lin Yu with a strange face, but in their hearts, there was a kind of stealing joy, which was a kind of stealing joy when they hit the wronged boss.

The company was founded less than a year ago, and it was sold for more than three or four times the price, maybe even they didn't expect it, right?

"So let's talk about the contract, shall we? What do you think? ”

"Ah, it's good......"

……

The next acquisition, there were no accidents, Lin Yu didn't say much, the two sides simply drew up the contract, and then Lin Yu's side of the contract, after getting the contract in Chinese and English, handed over to the two professionals next to him to study, at the same time, and sent the contract content back to China by email, and studied the content of the contract, after all, with my colleague riot here, fifteen million dollars of business, they should really treat it solemnly.

In fact, although Lin Yu was a little distressed, he was more of a blessing.

In contrast, if he doesn't care about it now, maybe a year later, that is, in 2008, if history does not change, at that time Tencent will notice Riot's side, and invest in Riot's side, and obtain the agency rights in China and about 20% of Riot's shares, and at that time, the company that invested in Riot was not only Tencent, although it was only a year apart, but it was very different from now.

Also four years later, in 2011, Tencent will continue to acquire Riot's side, at that time, Tencent's money, is 230 million US dollars, if you remember correctly, it should be so, at that time, it acquired about seventy percent of the shares, completed Tencent's investment in Riot 90%, and in 2015, after the completion of all acquisitions, so far, Tencent holds 100% control of Riot, after all, at that time, Riot's valuation has reached a price of hundreds of millions of dollars, compared with now, Lin Yu has completely made a big profit.

Now, the exchange rate between the RMB and the US dollar is 7.5411, which is the current real-time exchange rate between the RMB and the US dollar, and the 15 million US dollars wholly owned acquisition of riot means that Lin Yu will spend about 113 million yuan to complete the acquisition, even so, compared with the situation that Tencent invested millions of dollars but only accounted for about 10% of riot shares a year later, it is much better!

Time is often the greatest wealth, and the same applies here, although Lin Yu is only one year ahead, but sometimes one year is enough!

After careful study, the contract was confirmed, and on the third day, Lin Yu and the two founders completed the company handover ceremony, so far, riot has completely become Lin Yu's private company, and Lin Yu also paid a high price of 113 million for this, and finally saved enough 200 million, and in a blink of an eye, there was a price of less than 100 million, and his heart was congested......

Of course, on the riot side, it is natural to use the original creative team, when the huge amount of money after the Mark . Merrill & Brandon. When Bell asked, Lin Yu finally followed Tencent's previous plan, which is also the plan he has always dealt with, that is, to continue to use the old team, and in this, the company's funds in the future will still be Lin Yu's money, which is quite a place to burn money, and when its future return is also a place worthy of Lin Yu's investment, after all, not every company is a place like the poor jingle DNF.

Seven days later, Lin Yu sat on the plane to Yanjing, looking at the clouds outside the plane, Lin Yu finally breathed...... (To be continued.) )
