Chapter 244: Microsoft Wants to Acquire Blue Star Games?
Bai Xiaolu also found several interesting details when he visited Fat Donglai Life Square, Xingmin Young Billiards Club was invested by her boyfriend's uncle Zheng Xingmin, and Yulan Women's Beauty Club was invested by her boyfriend's mother and aunt together.
Everyone also visited the Fat Donglai Supermarket and found that the details of the Fat Donglai Supermarket are indeed different, each cashier or weighing clerk is equipped with a stool of moderate height, and the clerk does not have to stand for a day.
As for weighing seafood, it is also normal for supermarkets to help you filter out the water before weighing. The origin of fresh food in the supermarket, the price tag are larger than other supermarkets, the supermarket's elderly stroller is also equipped with a magnifying glass, and the children also have their own exclusive stroller.
After Bai Xiaolu experienced Fat Donglai's service, he thought it was very interesting, "No wonder people from other counties have made a special trip to shop, Fat Donglai will implement the spirit of serving customers to every detail, but I don't know if they can stick to it for a long time." ”
"With Fat Donglai Supermarket in Yushan Town, there is no soil for other supermarkets to survive. The salary of the cleaner in the square is two thousand two a month, and there are several hundred yuan in bonuses every month, and he can get more than 40,000 yuan in a year. You ask Hongyu, how much is the monthly salary of a sanitation worker now? When the square opened, there were many people who wanted to come to work in Fat East. As long as they cherish their current job, the quality of service will not deteriorate. Zheng Wentong said.
Fat Donglai is nothing more than two things, one is to ensure the quality of goods, and the other is meticulous service, just like Haidilao, which has just entered the first-tier cities. It is easy for the catering industry to imitate Haidilao, but it is not easy for large supermarket models to imitate Donglai, after all, not every boss can have the courage to give profits to employees.
Knowing that the big boss came to inspect, the supermarket manager came to receive Zheng Wentong and the others, and at this time, a sharp-eyed person recognized Wang Zhongxun. When they saw Wang Zhongxun standing next to Zheng Wentong talking about things, they immediately recognized Zheng Wentong.
Everyone greeted Zheng Wentong warmly in dialect, and Zheng Wentong responded with a polite wave. Someone was about to hand Zheng Wentong a cigarette, but Zheng Wentong politely refused, clenching his fists and signaling, "Don't smoke now, thank you." The supermarket requires no smoking indoors, please cooperate with the work of the supermarket, thank you very much. ”
Some guests filmed Zheng Wentong and Bai Xiaolu, and some people used their mobile phones to record videos, and when the bodyguard asked Zheng Wentong if he wanted to communicate with the guests, Zheng Wentong stopped him. Wang Zhongxun knew that there was no way to continue the visit today, so everyone left Fat Donglai Life Square together.
Zhou Hongyu asked Bai Xiaolu, "Did you encounter a similar situation when you were filming outdoors?" Surrounded by everyone, crowded? ”
Bai Xiaolu replied, "I'm fine, compared to me, Wen Tong is more famous." When he won the Top Ten Economic Person of the Year Award, didn't your city government affairs network send a congratulatory letter? ”
Zhou Hongyu said: "This is not the funniest thing, when my dad went to the city for a meeting, the city leaders congratulated my dad, and my dad was stunned." However, my parents couldn't have imagined that Wentong would now make the company bigger and bigger, and they said that there are at least three or four more companies under Slope Investment that can be listed. I have eaten out several times, and I have heard them discussing who is the richest man in Zhongchu Province, Wen Tong and Wang Zhi. ”
"You should know Wang Zhi, right?" Zhou Hongyu asked Bai Xiaolu.
"I know that he was elected as one of the top ten economic figures of the year with Wen Tong, the owner of Zall Football Club. Wang Zhi invited Wen Tong to return to Jiangchu to invest, and wanted to partner with Wen Tong to start a football club, but Wen Tong refused. Bai Xiaolu said.
When Zhou Hongyu and Bai Xiaolu were chatting, Zheng Wentong had already begun to think about the source of funds for the acquisition of Zhongchu Machinery Group and Zhongchu Bearing.
At present, the revenue sources of the slope system are mainly divided into three major parts, Blue Star Games, Micro Ke Xinke and Weimeng Media, and the other companies are relatively small. According to Zheng Wentong's estimates, the combined annual revenue of these three companies in 2017 was almost close to 10 billion yuan.
If the slope department wants to raise enough funds to complete the acquisition, the slope system's own funds alone are still a little weak, Zheng Wentong plans to sell part of the equity of Blue Star Games, and then borrow part of the money from financial institutions.
In addition to the gaming giants that have been in contact with Blue Star Games, Microsoft has a lot of interest in acquiring Blue Star Games. They were willing to buy Blue Star Games as a whole and made an offer of $4 billion for Blue Star Games.
Among them, the national server version of "Peace Elite" and the mobile game version of "Peace Elite" will continue to be operated by Wangyi Games, and this acquisition only involves the overseas game business of Bluestar Games, not the mainland market.
Microsoft's current CEO, Satya. Mr. Nadella is a formidable character, and Indian-origin executives have come to dominate Silicon Valley. He succeeds Steve. After Powell became the CEO of Microsoft, he focused Microsoft's development on Office365 and cloud computing business, and also completed several heavyweight acquisitions, and Microsoft's market value later exceeded two trillion US dollars, competing with Apple for the most valuable technology company.
Microsoft's acquisition of Blue Star Games is indeed a good business, when Blue Star Games is merged into Microsoft's game division, it will help to promote Microsoft's Xbox console business, and secondly, the revenue of Blue Star Games will also be incorporated into Microsoft's financial statements, which is also the growth point of the company's business. Microsoft later acquired Activision Blizzard, one of the world's largest gaming companies, for a whopping $68.7 billion.
Zheng Wentong has now proposed two plans for Microsoft, Slope Investment will sell 25% of the equity to Microsoft first, and the company of Blue Star Games will be valued at $4 billion. Another option is for Microsoft to directly invest $6 billion, and Slope Investment and Tonglu Investment Fund will sell 100% of the equity to Microsoft at one time.
Microsoft, of course, is inclined to acquire Blue Star Games as a whole, and PUBG: Mobile has consistently ranked first in the game category in the App Store in many countries, and its revenue ranking is even better.
If Microsoft buys 25% of the equity of Blue Star Games at a price of $1 billion, if the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" further explodes in the world, and the revenue in the next two or three years reaches a new high, Microsoft will inevitably have to buy the remaining 75% of the equity at a higher price, and the overall acquisition price of $6 billion exceeds Microsoft's psychological expectations.
Before "PUBG: Mobile" was launched, the valuation of Blue Star Games by external investment institutions was $3 billion, and now the monthly revenue of "PUBG: Mobile" and "Peace Elite" mobile games after the merger in January has exceeded $50 million, from this point of view, Zheng Wentong's price of $6 billion for Blue Star Games is not outrageous.
Bluestar Games has now also begun to explore the Middle East market, developing a customized version of the mobile game "Sultan's Revenge" for local tyrants in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and other countries.
"Sultan's Revenge" is actually an early page game in China, but the game's character design and plot have been localized to the extreme, in order to respect the local culture and customs, Bluestar Games hired historical and cultural experts in the Middle East as game consultants.
The game is set in the Arabian world of the 14th century, and not only does the scenery fit the Arabian characteristics, but the characters are also beautiful. That man can refuse to dominate the world in the game, sitting on the temptation of power and beauty, this game has dominated the list in many countries in the Middle East since it was launched, and it can easily achieve a monthly turnover of more than 5 million US dollars.
Bluestar Games has begun to prepare for the 2017 PGC Global Finals, and President Wang has begun to form the "PUBG" IG team, and after the PGC Global Finals in November, it will attract more gamers to invest in the game "PUBG".
Now it is only February 17, Zheng Wentong remembers that Lin Xiangwei only completed the acquisition of Zhongchu Bearing in January 18, and there is still plenty of time left for Zheng Wentong.
Zheng Wentong hopes that Microsoft can accept the overall offer of $6 billion, so that the slope system will not need to be financed through financial institutions for the next three years. Among them, $1.5 billion of Tonglu Investment Fund will remain in overseas accounts.
If Microsoft intends to acquire a 25% stake first, Zheng Wentong will transfer the 25% stake held by Tonglu Investment Fund to Microsoft at one time, so that Tonglu Investment Fund also has $1 billion in overseas assets.
After the sale of Blue Star Games by Slope Investment, the overseas revenue of the slope system can only count on the ace app of Tik Tok, but it will take at least 3 to 4 years for Tik Tok to become a popular short video app all over the world.
When Zheng Wentong was thinking about the problem, he found that Zhou Hongyu took them to Zheng Xingjian's Huawei mobile phone store. Zheng Wentong didn't know why, "Aren't you going home?" Why did you come to the store all of a sudden? ”
Zhou Hongyu brought the white fawn to the poster of Glory 8 in the store, the white fawn on the poster is more beautiful than the real person, but the white fawn without makeup is also very durable.
The clerks in the mobile phone store also recognized Bai Xiaolu, because Zhou Yuling had introduced Bai Xiaolu's spokesperson identity more than once in the store, and when the clerk asked for a group photo, Bai Xiaolu also happily agreed.
Bai Xiaolu stood in front of his poster and finished a group photo with the clerk, after soliciting Bai Xiaolu's opinion, the clerk posted the group photo on Weiyin, and the picture was accompanied by the text: "This should be the most faceted Huawei mobile phone store in the country, right?" ”
Among the cousins of the Zhou family, Zheng Wentong and Zhou Hongyu and Yang Jianbin have the best relationship, since Bai Xiaolu doesn't mind, Zheng Wentong didn't stop Zhou Hongyu from being funny, Zhou Hongyu first took a group photo with Bai Xiaolu's poster, and then took a group photo with Bai Xiaolu alone, and then sent it to the circle of friends, "Our Xiaolu is definitely the most dedicated mobile phone spokesperson, Huawei can consider our Xiaolu to increase the endorsement fee." ”
Zhou Hongyu originally wanted to ask about Yang Jianwu's wife Yang Hui, but Zheng Wentong obviously didn't want to talk about it, and motioned for Zhou Hongyu to end the topic, Zhou Hongyu stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to mention it again.
"You are cousins and brothers, you should know Wen Tong's character, he has always been willing to help his relatives, but he has a bottom line and a sense of proportion. At this time, it is wisest for Yang Hui to stay honestly and work in Weimeng Media, if she is hot-headed and encourages Jianwu to leave her job and go to other companies together, then her road will only get narrower and narrower. Bai Xiaolu grasped her boyfriend's mind and said to Zhou Hongyu that she also hoped that Zhou Hongyu would persuade Yang Jianwu.
