At around 16:34 p.m. local time, Luo Sheng formally proposed his intention to acquire Ryan Blunt, who was interviewed.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Luo, I didn't plan to sell the company." When Ryan Blunt heard that Luo Sheng wanted to buy his company, he didn't think much about it and refused directly.

"I can understand why you're so resistant." Luo Sheng said with a smile, he was not in a hurry at all, and added after a while: "Are you afraid that I, like Vivendi's media giants, do not really want to promote the development of the game industry, but make a fortune and leave after squeezing out the value of the game company, right?" ”

Ryan Blunt silently stared at the young face in front of him, who was much younger than him, and did not respond, although Luo Sheng was very young, he now represented a strong capital party.

In Ryan's view, it is a good match with Vivendi.

In fact, practitioners in the game industry are very reluctant to this kind of capital, and sometimes have to compromise with capital, because there is really no money to play.

Let's talk about Take Two's subsidiary "R Star", a triple-A masterpiece like the "GTA" series, which often costs tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in development funds, once it fails commercially and overturns, it will definitely drag down the parent company.

At worst, it will cause a crisis in the capital chain, and at worst, even the company will go bankrupt.

You must know that there is more than one masterpiece under the "R Star" alone, for example, there is also the "Wilderness Prostitution" series, once there is a crisis in the capital chain, other projects will also be dragged down, and if it is not good, it will be a chain reaction.

At this time, if faced with capital pressure, many seemingly powerful third-party game developers can't help but fight, and game companies have to introduce capital to save their lives.

Blizzard Entertainment, which is now making a lot of money because of "World of Warcraft", sold itself to the Vivendi Group in the early days, which directly led to the Northern Blizzard coming out, and now it is still abused by this "father".

Bluestar Technology has only been established for just over two years, but even so, it is still a behemoth in front of the current Take-Two.

You must know that the current Bluestar Technology is being compared to Google by the Silicon Valley gang, and Google's current market value has sprinted towards $50 billion.

Seeing that Ryan Blunt was silent, Luo Sheng couldn't follow the silence and once again played his best at telling things.

"I'm a hardcore gamer, games are the ninth art, and I love this art no less than you, and even I know more about games than most of you who are veterans in the game industry, because I love games." Luo Sheng looked at Ryan Blunt and said, the latter was slightly stunned for a moment, and then looked at the other party with a suspicious face.

What a hell, I believe you're a ghost.

Luo Sheng continued whether he believed it or not: "Do you know why Take-Two is in trouble now? The subsidiary 'R-star' is a very important reason, but it is only one of the reasons, and it is not even the main reason. In my opinion, Take-Two is very chaotic internally, just look at it, there are 2K Games, Dassault Systèmes, Focus Home Interactive, Siemens PLM Software, and Rockstar Games. ”

"If I were the head of this company, I would immediately reorganize and integrate it, establish the 2K Games brand, and then establish the 2K Sports brand to focus on sports competitive games, and the 2K Play brand to focus on the distribution of mini games, so as to distinguish the games published by Take-Two's own brand resources from 'R Star'."

Ryan Blunt's face couldn't help but change for a while when he heard this, and his heart was even more vigilant, this has not yet been acquired, and he has already threatened to carry out a drastic restructuring and integration of Take-Two.

Instantly full of vigilance, Ruion was puzzled, what kind of negotiation routine is this from the other party?

However, after thinking about it carefully, Ryan Blount suddenly realized that what Luo Sheng said seemed to be correct at all!

"R-Star" is undoubtedly the most dazzling presence of Take-Two at the moment, but it is also because of this that Take-Two is confused.

It's a bit of a taste of success and defeat and defeat.

Luo Sheng is a master of details, meticulous observation, seeing some subtle affectionate changes in Ryan also read some useful information, and immediately struck while the iron was hot and said: "Mr. Blunt, even if you refuse this acquisition offer, I still hope that you can consider my previous suggestion, Take-Two is a great game company, I don't want it to fall or even fall, whether it is the Civilization series or the GTA series, I am a loyal player, I am looking forward to GTA4 or even GTA5 Now, I'm talking to you as a loyal fan of Take-Two. ”

"This ......" Ryan Blunt hesitated for a moment, looked at the other party and stopped.

The two sides looked at each other, Luo Sheng did not avoid his gaze at all, looking at each other, not to mention how sincere his eyes were.

The previous remarks were simply emotional, and they were simply moved and inspired, and this may be the biggest fan player of Take-Two.

Qin Weimu, who was next to her, always sat quietly, but she was muttering in her heart, especially after seeing the expression and emotional changes of the founder of Take-Two, she knew that the other party had unknowingly fallen for Luo Sheng's strategy of wanting to capture him.

This strategy of turning the cards over and playing is sometimes really unsolvable.

After following him for a long time, Qin Weimu became more and more suspicious of whether this guy was doing the same to himself? As soon as he spoke, no one had been able to resist him so far.

"I'm so honored by what you said." Ryan Blunt laughed dryly for a while, Luo Sheng's words just now made him hesitate, and after a moment he suddenly added: "If you don't interfere in the operation of Take-Two, maybe we can accept the investment of Bluestar Technology." ”

After all, he still didn't resist Luo Sheng's "chat flow" offensive, the power was too great, there was Wendell Wicks before, and now Ryan Blunt also moved from the previous undisguised resistance.

Luo Sheng, who was already accustomed to all kinds of big scenes in his previous life, did not show too much emotional fluctuations when he heard Ryan Blunt's loose remarks at this moment, only to see him smile indifferently: "Actually, if you don't make this kind of request, I won't intervene, I don't care what game Take-Two is going to do, how to do it, and what the budget is, because I don't have so much energy, and if the acquisition is completed, it will only be a consolidated financial statement, in fact, if this negotiation is not successful, it can only be said that we have no fate." ”

Ryan Blunt was secretly in high spirits when he heard this, and Luo Sheng continued: "If I can, I only have two conditions, Bluestar Technology wants to eat at least 55% of Take-Two's equity, and retain the right to issue Take-Two, we can specially agree on an option, and the exercise period can be set after three or five years." ”

In the end, he still wanted to interfere in the company's operations, Ryan Blunt, who was originally gradually breaking out in the small universe, finally calmed down a lot after hearing these words, but soon became puzzled.

"I don't understand, Mr. Luo, how can you have such a strange special request?"

Hearing this, Luo Sheng said slowly: "Because...... My competitors are Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft, not any third party. ”

As soon as these words came out, Ryan Blunt figured it for a moment, and a thought that flashed in an instant was immediately caught, and the whole person was stunned, and looked at Luo Sheng in a daze: "You...... Even buy karma!! Are you developing a new console? Bluestar Technology wants to be the first party? ”

Ryan Blunt immediately recalled what he had just said and revisited it in his mind.

Requires to retain the right to publish, and clearly states that it will compete with companies such as Sony and Microsoft, especially Sony and Microsoft, both have game business departments, and they all have their own brand game consoles, Sony's PS, Microsoft's xbox, etc.

Seeing Luo Sheng smile and not speak, not responding was equivalent to acquiescence.

Ryan Blunt, who came back to his senses, questioned it even more, and immediately said: "Mr. Luo, I have no malicious intent, your company is indeed a giant in the Internet industry, you can enter the game console business, and the cross-border is huge, I don't think your company can compete with the PS console or the Xbox console." ”

Hearing this, Luo Shengzhi said to himself: "Since the establishment of Bluestar Technology, this journey has been accompanied by doubts and denials, but so far, they have all been slapped in the face, and I have been winning, and giving an exercise period is to speak with strength." ”

Luo Sheng heard Ryan Blunt's worries, he was afraid that after giving up the distribution rights, if Bluestar Technology took Take-Two's works and forcibly gave his game console an exclusivity, if the hardware was too bad, it would become a funeral object.

It's just that he doesn't know that Bluestar Technology can't make hardware, but the Cote d'Azur, which can be authorized by Bluestar Technology.

"Then I'll give another guarantee and make an additional special agreement, if Take-Two's works are exclusively released on my future hardware platform, and the sales can't recover the cost, it will be released on the whole platform, and you will have full discretion to dispose of, and the sales on other single platforms exceed my platform, and the excess part will be subsidized to Take-Two on a one-to-one basis, a 3A masterpiece is $60 a set, I will subsidize $60 for selling a set, and I will subsidize $600 million for 10 million sets."

Luo Sheng said that as long as the company is acquired, it is just a left-handed and right-handed one.

As soon as this price adjustment came out, Ryan Blunt was stupid when he heard it, and he admitted that when Luo Sheng said this additional special agreement, he had completely broken his mental defense with invincible dollar bills.

Ryan Blunt really can't think of any reason to refuse, especially when Take-Two is in trouble at the moment, once he hugs the lap of Bluestar Technology and has his back to a large company. "R-star" is now in trouble Bluestar Technology can be in charge of it, and Ryan Blunt also knows about Bluestar Technology's strong legal team, and it is said that 35% of the employees in the North American branch are legal professionals.

There are more than 700 legal professionals and still expanding, specializing in some legal disputes, more than the entire Take-Two staff combined.

And this is just the legal team of the North American branch of Bluestar Technology that fights lawsuits.

It is no exaggeration to say that the trouble that "R Star" is encountering now, as soon as the legal team of Bluestar Technology comes forward, it can be easily settled.

For Europeans and Americans, especially the North American authorities, he is an outsider, and all kinds of trouble-making things must be more and more with the continuous development and growth of Bluestar Technology, which Luo Sheng has long been prepared for, and is even ready to file a lawsuit with the North American authorities.

Ryan Blunt no longer had any doubts and asked one last question about money: "Mr. Luo, at what price do you plan to buy 55% of the shares?" ”
