Xie Liuying: "That...... Mr. Wang, have you contacted other powerful bigwigs in China, maybe someone can offer a higher price? ”

Wang Jingluo: "Of course I have thought about this method, first of all, the purchase price of the foreign company is far higher than the market price, which is why the shareholders of our board of directors are very excited when the other party makes a proposal. Because they know very well that even if the game is now popular again, no matter how much it sells, it will not be able to sell at this price. Of course, we also know that the other party is not here to make money. But other bigwigs in China don't think so, and their priority is the benefits that the purchase price can bring. It is impossible for them to buy it for more than that foreign company. ”

"That'...... Can't you ask my dad for help? Zheng Mingchuan seemed to have made up his mind to say this.

Wang Jingluo: "I went to Mr. Zheng very early, to be honest, the acquisition of our company is not a small amount of money even for your family, not to mention that it has to be paid a higher price than the other party." That's what Zheng always said to me about this. He said he had considered investing in the gaming and esports industry because of your connections, but the idea was vetoed by himself in the first half of this year after a series of detailed investigations. To tell you the truth, your father's vision is indeed very unique, and he pointed out several problems that we have right now. ”

Wang Jingluo: "One is that although the audience is huge, the payment rate is very low, although our online viewing arena solves this problem to a certain extent, but if you look at the macro data, there are still few paying users. Second, the proportion of cloud players is too high, and the model of point card charging is too backward, so it is difficult to quickly roll the snowball of capital in today's era. To put it bluntly, the game is basically in a state of applause, although there is a certain profit, but compared with the overall maintenance volume of the game, the profit margin is not high. Although Mr. Zheng loves his son, he is still a businessman at heart, and he will not risk losing a lot of money for your hobby. ”

Me: "Hmm...... The time of the acquisition is until the end of the opening cup, that is, there are still two months, if it is too late to submit the listing application at this time? As long as the company goes public and dilutes the shares of the original shareholders, then things may turn around. ”

Wang Jingluo: "We have met all the other conditions for listing, but unfortunately there is one hard condition that we can't meet, and the application will definitely be rejected, that is, the company must be profitable for three consecutive years." ”

Me: "......"

Liu Chuanhao: "What should I do?" Isn't it a dead end now? ”

Wang Jingluo: "Mr. Zhou, do you have a way?" ”

As soon as these words came out, I kind of understood, this video call has been made for so long, and everyone has discussed so much, I am still thinking that he himself should have a relatively smart think tank as the CEO, how to call our team to talk about this kind of thing, and I came to consult Zhou Zhenyu for a long time, and the rest of us just listened to it.

Zhou Zhenyu: "Hmm...... I don't have much to do for now, so I'll have to give me a few days to try. However, I am very confident in the future of this game, and this crisis will be successfully resolved. ”

Zhou Zhenyu is generally confident when he has the corresponding countermeasures, but judging from the current situation, he is also a little powerless, I don't know where he got his confidence when he said this at this time, or just to boost everyone's morale.

Wang Jingluo: "Okay, then I'll wait for the good news, I'm sorry to disturb everyone, the opening cup is about to start, so please concentrate on preparation." With that, he cut off the call.

I silently complained in my heart: He said this lightly, telling us such a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and asking us to concentrate on preparing for the game. Games and leagues have reached a point where they are precarious, and who can concentrate on training?

However, the trick of the mastermind behind the scenes is really ruthless enough, so the previous means are indeed petty fights.

Liu Chuanhao: "Alas...... The mastermind behind this scene won't be a person who plays with flying knives, or if he doesn't make a move, he will kill someone if he makes a move. ”

Indeed, he has a keen grasp that the real way to make a game die is not from the audience side, but from the direction of power and coercion.

"Chen Liao, do you believe that things are man-made?" Zhou Zhenyu suddenly threw out such a sentence without going forward or backward, and I was a little puzzled when I asked.

Me: "What? Do you have a solution? ”

Zhou Zhenyu: "Not yet, but on the bright side, I think we should have a countermeasure sooner or later." But on the negative side, if we can be sure that 'we will have a solution sooner or later,' it is a difficult thing to do. ”

He said something misty, and I didn't understand what he was trying to say.

Zhou Zhenyu: "Let's put it this way, in your opinion, if we can get through this crisis through our own efforts, it means that things are man-made." ”

Me: "Isn't it?" After all, the current situation is very unfavorable for us. ”

Zhou Zhenyu: "But if we can be sure that we will be able to survive this crisis, it shows that everything in the world is predestined in the dark, and the so-called things are actually a joke in people." ”

Me: "What the hell are you trying to say?" ”

Zhou Zhenyu: "Ah...... Nothing, I think you'll understand this one day. ”

I always feel that Zhou Zhenyu at this time is not in the same dimension as us, and he doesn't seem to be distressed by the killer moves of the mastermind behind the scenes, on the contrary, he seems to be thinking about some more mysterious questions.

After Song Yi returned, under our coercion and temptation, she was forced to take out her private money and invite us to a big meal in a restaurant near the base to express her guilt for her unfortunate luck and the wild words she made after the ceremony.

After that, we roughly told her about the content of Wang Jingluo's video call, although this will inevitably affect the effectiveness of her training, but we are in line with the principle that since we are all on the same team, what information should be shared together, especially such important information, if she hears about it from other sources, it will be suspicious of all of us. At this juncture when the opening cup is about to start, we don't want to repeat the mistakes we made when we faced the Heart Raiders.

Song Yi: "That is to say, if this problem is not solved, our jobs will be smashed, my mother told me that I made more money this year than my dad earned in the previous five years combined, and if the game is blocked, this high-income job will be goodbye." ”

"That's nature." I remembered Wang Jingluo's words at that time: "It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, if we can't pass this hurdle, we must be prepared to live a hard life." ”
