Chapter 172: Acquisition of Fist
Li Hong took Xiao Lori, followed Xiao Ma to get into his car, and came to a very stylish Western restaurant in the city.
Brother Xiao Ma seems to have already explained, as soon as he entered this Western restaurant, the waiter silently retreated after serving the food, leaving only two people in the private room.
Charlie also seemed to know that this kind of occasion was not suitable for him, so he took little Lori to a private room next door for lunch.
Brother Xiao Ma looked at Li Hong's somewhat restrained appearance, and said with a smile: "I just got off the plane to disturb you, this thing is not authentic for me." ”
"It's okay, I can't ask for lunch with you." Li Hong said with a smile.
This little brother is not good, but when he didn't show what he meant, Li Hong still had to greet him with a smile.
No matter from which point of view, Xiao Ma is a first-class business tycoon. And although he Li Hong has a small achievement, he is still not very good in front of Brother Xiaoma's penguin empire. Being able to sit together with Brother Xiao Ma to discuss cooperation, Li Hong felt that it was really a dream.
"Hah, okay."
Brother Xiao Ma smiled and said, "It's pointless for us to talk about these unnutritious words, let's talk about business." ”
Here it comes!
Li Hong knew that this was what Brother Xiao Ma was going to do.
Although Yuewen Group is also a subsidiary of Penguin Holdings, it is not worth mentioning compared with Penguin's main business. If it was just a cooperation with the Yuewen Group, then Brother Xiao Ma would not have traveled thousands of miles from Pengcheng to the Demon Capital to see Li Hong.
I'm afraid that Brother Xiaoma's purpose is not so simple.
"Although I don't care much about Yuewen's side, I can still say two sentences. Your sweet potato film and television is also a powerful film and television company, and I can't cooperate with you on online copyright cooperation, and Yuewen can't ask for it. I agreed to this. Brother Pony said freely.
What he said didn't mean much, there are many partners of Yuewen Group, there is not much more sweet potato, and there is a lot less sweet potato. Since this kind of partnership is dispensable, it is better to agree first so that the next topic can be opened.
"Then thank you Mr. Ma." Li Hong said with a smile.
Although the cooperation has already been negotiated, as long as the contract is not signed, something may happen in the middle.
Brother Xiao Ma said at the moment that the cooperation can be finalized, so there is no suspense. At least, it also let go of the hanging heart in Li Hong's heart.
Of course, Li Hong also knew that this was just a gesture of goodwill from Brother Xiaoma. His main purpose has not yet been said, and it is not appropriate to talk about it now.
"It's okay, I also value your sweet potato movies and television. I've heard that you are not only the actual controller of Sweet Potato Film and Television, but also the hottest Riot game boss at the moment? Brother Xiao Ma took a sip of the tea on the table and asked.
Li Hong's heart was awe-inspiring, he knew that the main goal of Xiao Ma's trip would be fists, but he didn't expect it to come true.
"Yes, I'm the boss of Riot Games." You can find out if you just ask about it, and it doesn't make sense to deny it, but it will embarrass everyone.
Brother Xiao Ma smiled with satisfaction: "Mr. Li's vision is really good, Riot Games has been in the limelight recently." Even our penguin games' "300 Million Primary School Students" and "Poisoned Milk Powder" can't cover the strength of the goddess Lianmeng. ”
"What's the matter, Mr. Ma has an overreputation. Compared to Penguin Games, we at Riot Games are just beginners. We still have a lot to learn from our predecessors. Li Hong said with a haha.
Brother Xiaoma's drunkard does not mean to drink, he has long seen it clearly. But he doesn't have anything to say, he plays Tai Chi first and rounds, but he really can't shirk it, and then he refuses.
Brother Pony laughed and said: "You are too modest in what you say, our Penguin Games has always started as an agent, and it can't be compared with your self-made games." If you really want to talk about it, we at Penguin Games are learning from you. ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Ma's tone changed, and he asked thoughtfully: "By the way, do you want our two families to communicate regularly at that time?" Let's learn how to make a successful game. ”
"No problem, we welcome. Truth be told, we'd like to talk to Penguin Games about it. After all, this is the first time we've run a game with such a large number of players, and we still lack a little experience compared to Penguin games. ”
This is a good thing for mutual benefit, Li Hong of course nodded in response. He also knew what little brother Ma was planning, he just wanted to take the opportunity of communication to hook up with Mark and his group of designers.
But Brother Pony wouldn't have thought that there was something called loyalty locking in this world. His poaching intentions are destined to end in nothing.
After laughing, Brother Xiao Ma said with a little pity: "Mr. Li's words have gone to my heart, you said that our two families have their own strengths, if we can combine together, then the entire game industry is not our final say?" ”
Seeing that Li Hong was just smiling and not responding to this topic positively, Brother Xiao Ma asked solemnly: "Seriously, Mr. Li, don't you really consider considering the acquisition of our penguins?" I believe that with the strength of our two companies, we will combine to dominate the entire game industry. ”
"Mr. Ma, this acquisition is still over. We at Riot just want to make our own game well, and we don't want to make it too complicated. Li Hong responded.
This was also the original idea he had to bring back his fist from the Covered World, which was to make a relatively simple game. Although the penguins are good, their games are full of money and benefits, which is not quite consistent with Li Hong's concept.
Receiving Li Hong's refusal, Xiao Ma frowned and asked, "Is it a problem with the offer?" If you feel that there is a problem with the quotation, then you can sit down and discuss. ”
"It's not a matter of quotes, in fact, Mr. Ma's offer is high enough, far exceeding my mental estimate of Riot. But the reason why I refused was because I wanted to keep the simplicity of Riot's game. ”
The penguin's first offer was $800 million, and after Li Hong initially refused, he offered another $1 billion. This offer, no matter how you look at it, is worth a fist. After all, in Li Hong's heart, he couldn't imagine that his fist would be worth so much money.
The appearance of the goddess Lianmeng has changed many people, including Li Hong himself.
If someone told him that Fist could be sold for a high price of one billion dollars before the release of the goddess Lianmeng, then Li Hong would definitely sell it without hesitation.
But people have feelings, and he has been with Maktiamat and others for so long, and he has also developed feelings. He also understands that when League of Legends was acquired by Penguin, Mark and others were actually quite disappointed in their hearts. Penguins may be a good place to be, but where is it not suitable to settle down and play games.
Rather than intrigue within a large group, it is inseparable for a little profit. It's better to stick to your own one-third of an acre of land and play games with peace of mind.
This is what Mark and others told Li Hong after receiving the penguin offer. Now, this has also become Li Hong's own idea.
