Chapter 427: If you don't authorize, you will buy!
Against the Shadows!!
Fang Ping was reminded, and a thought vaguely popped up in his heart.
That's a competitor who is secretly disrupting the esports event that has influenced Valve to license the game to future technology.
Although this has little impact on future technology, it is disgusting.
Other than that, he can't think of a reason for Valve to refuse to license the game to future tech esports events.
This is not complacency, but the truth.
With a little bit of vision, you can see that e-sports events promoted by the huge volume of future technology have the potential to become popular around the world.
Any game company that cooperates with Future Technology's esports events can not only get monetary benefits, but also increase the popularity of its games and increase more user bases.
But Valve, on the other hand, turned a blind eye to these and chose to refuse.
If you want to say that no one is making trouble behind your back and killing Mr. Chen, you don't believe it!
Thinking about it, he nodded: "There is a possibility." However, the specific details can only be concluded after investigation. ”
"Alright! Investigate not to mention in advance, what about this game license? ”
Mr. Chen said with a sad face: "Tomorrow, Future Technology will hold a press conference to announce its entry into the e-sports industry." If you can't get a license for the game, then it's a lot of fun! ”
"So be it! Tomorrow's press conference will only announce the entry of Future Technology into the e-sports industry for the time being, creating a global e-sports competition! As for the specific details, I asked them to push it to the Shengda Games that was undertaken! Fang Ping thought for a moment.
Mr. Chen was anxious: "Senior Brother Fang Ping, you..."
"Senior Chen, don't worry, Shengda Games can announce the details of the specific competition two days in the evening, including the participating games and so on!"
Fang Ping waved his hand to stop: "In this way, we will have time to get the authorization!" ”
"Senior Brother Fang Ping, your idea is right, but the key is that Valve Company wants to give authorization!" Speaking of this, Mr. Chen had a headache.
When he received from Valve, Ogilvy Electronics broke the contract and withdrew the license of CS and other games, he spent a long time talking and promised a lot of benefits, such as increasing the license fee.
But Valve is like an iron heart, and it refuses to give authorization.
If it was an ordinary game company, he would have been too lazy to pay attention to it.
But Valve's CS, Half-Life and other games are popular games all over the world and have a large number of fans.
If there is no Valve game in the e-sports competition, then the status of the event in the hearts of players will definitely be reduced a lot.
Moreover, this is not in line with the original purpose of holding an esports tournament.
Fang Ping said lightly: "If you don't give authorization, then in the name of Future Technology, you will acquire Valve!" ”
"Acquisition !!" Mr. Chen's eyes widened.
He never thought that the solution given by Fang Ping turned out to be an acquisition!
You must know that Valve is not a small company, and it has released many popular games, such as CS, Half-Life, etc.
Although it is not listed, there is no value in judgment. But according to industry estimates, Valve is worth at least three or four billion dollars.
It is equivalent to the acquisition of Valve by Future Technology, at least three or four billion US dollars.
And that's not even counting the premium during the acquisition process.
In order to license the game, go and buy the development company of the game.
He had a weird feeling about everything.
"Yes, acquisition!"
Fang Ping nodded, and added: "There is no other way to get the game license except for the acquisition!" ”
He thought about it, if someone was messing with it behind his back, he wouldn't be able to get Valve's game license. Then no matter how hard you and others try, you can't get authorization.
Of course, if the price is particularly high, you can still get the authorization.
But Fang Ping is not ready to do this, instead of offering a high price to get the license, it is better to buy Valve in one step.
Valve is a good game company anyway.
After the acquisition, there will be no loss!
"It's... This, will there be so much money in the future technology? Mr. Chen hesitated for a moment before he said.
Does he know that Future Technology has never opened profitable businesses such as advertising.
In other words, Future Technology does not have any source of income, and is only supported by the original financing of more than 7 billion US dollars, as well as some income from charging projects such as props.
And the acquisition of Valve requires such a large amount of money, and he is really worried that Future Technology will not be able to come up with it.
Fang Ping waved his hand and said, "I have my own way to deal with money." You don't have to worry about that. ”
"Uh, well! If Future Technology buys Valve, it needs money. Shengda Games can provide a part of the funds! ”
Mr. Chen was stunned, nodded, and added: "Of course, the funds provided by Shengda Games will not be too much!" ”
As he spoke, a flash of embarrassment flashed across his face.
But he can't help it, Shengda Games seems to have a market value of tens of billions of dollars, but in fact, the company really doesn't have that much money on its books, and it costs money to host e-sports competitions, and even Shengda literature and other aspects.
The funds that can be provided to Future Technology to acquire Valve are really limited.
Fang Ping shrugged: "You better keep the money from Shengda Games!" You don't need to use the money of your subsidiaries to buy Valve! ”
"Ahem, that's okay, I'm not going to be polite to you!"
After Mr. Chen was kind and good, he discussed the details of the e-sports competition with Fang Ping, such as how many regions the competition division is, the top three, top five, and top ten in each region, and how much prize money they have.
How much money is offered in the grand final, and so on.
After discussing the details, Mr. Chen exchanged a few words with Fang Ping, said hello and left Fang Ping's office.
As soon as Mr. Chen left, Fang Ping thought about it, picked up the office landline and called Su Xiaoxiao, and asked her to come to his office, and then waited while thinking about the acquisition.
In less than ten minutes, Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly came to Fang Ping's office, and said with a slight gasp: "Boss, are you looking for me?" ”
"You sit first!"
Fang Ping beckoned Su Xiaoxiao to sit down, seeing that she was still panting slightly, he was a little surprised: "You ran here?" Where to go, still need to run? ”
"Oh, I went to Future Entertainment and took a look at the adaptation of Plants vs. Zombies!" Su Xiaoxiao replied.
Fang Ping became interested: "How is the adaptation?" ”
"At present, Mr. Lu is looking for a screenwriter who has written three adaptations, but they are not very good! I asked them to rewrite! Su Xiaoxiao shook her head.
Fang Ping was slightly disappointed: "Okay! The script adaptation of Plants vs. Zombies is out, tell me a word! ”
"Okay, Boss!"
Su Xiaoxiao nodded, and said curiously: "By the way, boss, what are you looking for me?" ”
Fang Ping raised two fingers: "Two things, the first one, you call Feng Ziyue and ask her to check the Valve company and withdraw the reason for the authorization of e-sports." ”
"Second, you can arrange to form an acquisition team and launch an acquisition offer for Valve!"
"What, Boss, you're going to buy Valve!!"
