Chapter 828: Blizzard is Lao Tzu's

and Tim. Sloan thought the same, when he saw the changes in the funds on ICQ's account in the past few days, Citibank, which had not taken ICQ's account security service seriously, could no longer sit still, even if Citibank is a world's top bank with total assets of trillions of dollars, and a company with hundreds of millions of dollars in cash flow is also worthy of their attention. The team led by Foster came to discuss cooperation with Lianchuang Technology...... If such a high-quality customer is allowed to lose, Citibank will definitely become the biggest joke of the year.

Just let Gary. Foster was disappointed that he did not see Lin Zheng, Benier was given full authority by Lin Zheng, and Benier was fully responsible for the negotiations between ICQ and Citibank, and Lin Daboss was gone.
What did Boss Lin do|excellent|excellent|small|say|more|new|most|fast||? Boss Lin went to Blizzard, and in Boss Lin's opinion, it is much more important to get the ICQ game hall in an orderly manner than to negotiate with Citibank.
"Lin, the communication with Cendant is very smooth, the current senior management of Cendant Group is about to be driven crazy by the bank, they need money very, very much," Allenadham said to Lin Zheng with an excited face, chattering endlessly to Lin Zheng: "The current Cendant Group doesn't care who sells the company to, as long as anyone can give them money, they are willing to give Blizzard to him, as long as ICQ can give him a suitable price, The Cendant Group would be happy to sell Blizzard to ICQ, but there's a problem. β
Lin Zheng has been paying attention to the movements of the Cendant Group during this time, and the life of the Cendant Group during this time has indeed not been ordinarily difficult. There is no good news in the media about the Cendant Group, which is now in dire need of advanced Cendant. It's not strange that they have asked for Lin Zheng, it's strange that they haven't asked Lin Zheng. Calmly asked, "What's the problem?" β
"Cendant does not accept a separate sale of Blizzard, they choose to sell Blizzard Entertainment, Sherrach Mountain Online and the group's software division together," Allenadham said with some embarrassment: "I have communicated with the senior management of the Cendant Group many times, but they are very adamant and do not accept the spin-off. Only agreed to be packaged and sold. β
"Packaged for sale? It's not impossible to consider this, but it seems that the French Havas news agency is also interested in Blizzard? β
"Yes," Allenadham nodded, "and that's what I'm going to say next, Hawass News Agency seems to be equally imperative on Blizzard......"
Speaking of which. Allenadham's face couldn't help but be a little worried: unlike ICQ, which is willing to give himself and Frankpearce and Mikemorhaime up to more than 20% of the shares, the bastards of Havas News Agency are not only unwilling to increase their shares, but even further reduce their three shares in the company, if Blizzard Entertainment is bought by the damn Havas News Agency, the three of them will inevitably be completely reduced to working for others. How will we live in the future?
Lin Zheng interrupted Allenadham's words and asked, "Do you know the conditions that Hawass News Agency is offering now?" β
"I've heard a few from the top of the Cendant group, and it seems that the Havas news agency bid for $32 million......"
"$32 million? What are the top brass of the Cendant Group fooling around? Without waiting for Allenadham to finish speaking, Lin Zheng sneered: "Cendant Group's Blizzard Entertainment, Snow Mountain Online and Software Divisions may not be able to sell at this price even at the best time. With the current bad situation of the Cendant Group, everyone knows that now is the best time to take advantage of the fire, and Havas News Agency is willing to make an offer of $32 million? β
There is no doubt that this is the Cendant Group dog jumping off the wall. wants to slaughter ICQ in this way, as for whether ICQ will see through its own tricks, Cendant Group doesn't care at all: Lao Tzu is like this now. I finally met a fat sheep, so I have to try it, right?
Allenadham did not refute. What the hell is going on, he can actually guess a ** not far from ten.
Although Lin Zheng didn't like being kidnapped in this way, he knew better. Although the emergence of ICQ made the senior management of the Cendant Group overjoyed, but now the Cendant who is in a hurry does not tie all the hope to himself, while keeping in touch with Allenadham, it is rumored that the Cendant Group is having secret dealings with the French Havas News Agency during this time, Lin Zheng does not want to go wrong because of a little money, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, spend more money on it, although ICQ members and account security services have just been opened, there is not much money in the account, but as long as ICQ says to borrow money, tens of millions of dollars is really trivial, but there is no doubt that the price of 32 million dollars is definitely not good.
"Allen, what's the lowest price you think the Cendant Group can accept?" After a deep groan, Lin Zheng asked Allenadham.
"About $15 million." After a moment's hesitation, Allenadham offered a price.
Hearing this price, Lin Zheng glanced at Allenadham: This price is obviously a little low, David & Associates spent more than $6.7 million when it acquired Blizzard Entertainment in 1994, and now more than three years have passed, and the original Blizzard Entertainment has included the publisher David & Associates and Snow Mountain Online, and the preliminary estimate is that the market value of Blizzard Entertainment alone is more than $18 million. If you count the software division of the Cendant Group, the price of $22 million is always worth it, even if Cendant is a broken drum that everyone can beat twice, and everyone is thinking of taking advantage of the Cendant Group's hard time to pick up the bargain, but the price of Blizzard Entertainment, Snow Mountain Online and the software department cannot be less than $18 million, Allenadham is obviously playing his own small calculations.
It is normal for Allenadham to have his own small abacus, or rather, it is normal for Allenadham, Mikemorhaime, and Frankpearce to have their own small abacus, who let the final purchase price directly determine the weight of their shares in the new company, Lin Zheng understands them very well, but understanding is understanding, which does not mean that Lin Zheng will accept their approach.
After a deep sigh, Lin Zheng said to Allenadham: "Allen, you tell Cendant that ICQ is willing to acquire the software division of Xuele Mountain Online, Blizzard Entertainment and Cendant for $18 million......"
Hearing the price Lin Zheng said, before Lin Zheng finished speaking, Allenadham became anxious, stood up with a hula, and said anxiously: "But ......"
"Listen to me......" Lin Zheng raised his hand and motioned for Allenadham not to interrupt his words.
Looking at Lin Zheng's calm eyes, which seemed to be able to see through everything, Allenadham suddenly felt a little weak, just like Lin Zheng thought, why would he quote such an ultra-low price of $15 million Allenadham He naturally knew it, but originally he felt that as long as he made the situation more serious, it would not be difficult to fool the past, but at this moment, from Lin Zheng's eyes that could see through the depths of people's hearts, Allenadham suddenly felt that all his words were no longer necessary.
"I believe that it is impossible for Cendant Group to be sold for $15 million, but ICQ needs to reach an agreement with Cendant Group as soon as possible, you tell Cendant that ICQ can pay all the money in full at once within a week after signing the contract, and you ......" looked at Allenadham calmly, Lin Zheng said: "Allen, as long as you facilitate this acquisition as soon as possible, the three of you can get 21% of the shares, is there a problem?" β
All the words disappeared without a trace in front of Lin Zheng's "21%", and Allenadham said without hesitation: "No problem!" No problem at all! β
"Very good, hurry up, I'm waiting for your good news, oh yes, you tell Cendant that ICQ has limited patience, if they think ICQ is an oversized Kaizi, then let them drag it out and see who is willing to pay a higher price than ICQ."
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Facts have proved that Lin Zheng, the big boss of Lin Zheng, still underestimated the allure of $18 million in cash for the Cendant Group, which is now in domestic and foreign difficulties, or perhaps Lin Zheng's threat played a role, and after some symbolic bargaining, Cendant Group finally agreed to ICQ's acquisition request: a one-time package acquisition of Blizzard Entertainment, Xueleshan Online and the software development division of Cendant Group at a price of $18 million.
As soon as the news came out, Lin Zheng breathed a long sigh of relief: he finally grabbed the front of Hawass News Agency, Blizzard is Lao Tzu! (To be continued.) )r752
