Chapter 105: Successful bidding
"It's different now, now I'm the representative of Baofeng M&A, why can't I come?"
Chen Qiang said shamelessly.
Xiao Xian looked at Chen Qiang, who was in a straight suit, and felt extremely unfamiliar.
"Chen Qiang, Lightning used to have a share of you, and you also participated in the whole process of Unreal Engine, how can you have the face to say this?"
Xiao Xian pointed to the door and asked sharply: "Are you worthy of the brothers who worked overtime and stayed up late together in the past, the illusion, and the lightning?" ”
"It's because I don't want to see the Unreal disappear from the market, that I'm letting Lightning join the storm!"
Chen Qiang didn't feel that he was wrong at all.
Without a huge infusion of money, Unreal Engine simply wouldn't have been able to impress the market.
Xiao Xian is too pedantic and doesn't know how to be flexible.
As long as Unreal Engine can be developed, what does it matter who Lightning belongs to?
Xiao Xian's eyes were red, "If it weren't for you, would the lightning be where it is today?" ”
If it weren't for Chen Qiang's jump to Storm at the most difficult time of Lightning, taking away some of the core technology of Unreal Engine, Lightning would at least be able to support it for a while longer.
Seeing Xiao Xian's anger.
Another glasses male representative of the storm Wang Jiajun hurriedly played the round.
"Xiao is always angry! As the saying goes, harmony makes money, today we Baofeng Group is to cooperate with sincerity, personal grievances are put aside for the time being, and bidding is today's business! ”
Xiao Xian took a deep breath and walked into the conference room.
When he saw Zhang Zhongtian, his expression finally eased.
"Zhongtian, you're here."
Zhang Zhongtian shook his head and smiled, "Today's protagonist is not me, but my brother Gu Cheng!" ”
He introduced the two to each other.
"Gu Cheng, this is Xiao Xian, the founder of Lightning."
Gu Cheng stood up and stretched out his hand, "Hello Mr. Xiao!" ”
Xiao Xian smiled reluctantly and shook back: "Hello, I look forward to our successful cooperation in the future!" ”
After some pleasantries, the bidding officially began.
That day, after confirming the acquisition demand with Gu Cheng, Zhang Zhongtian began to send someone to contact Lightning, and the two sides had already reached a preliminary intention for the acquisition.
Gu Cheng previously provided a rough bid, deal structure, preliminary conditions and scope of due diligence.
Upon request, Xiao Xian provided relevant company information and asked Gu Cheng to conduct due diligence on legal, financial, and business/technical aspects.
Gu Cheng's due diligence was still going on, and Chen Qiang had already begun to go straight to the point.
"Xiao Xian, there are not many people bidding anyway, why don't we open the skylight and say something!"
Xiao Xian looked sideways at Gu Cheng.
Gu Cheng nodded, "It's okay, Mr. Xiao can talk to the Storm Group first." ”
Chen Qiang was only afraid of Zhang Zhongtian, and as for Gu Cheng, he didn't look at it.
Glancing at Gu Cheng contemptuously, Chen Qiang handed over the merger and acquisition contract.
"Xiao Xian, this is the acquisition contract of our Baofeng Group."
"I know very well what is going on in Lightning, and the Unreal Engine, which you are so proud of, has a great future if it can be successfully developed and improved."
"But for now, the graphics of Unreal games are not excellent, and there are still very serious optimization problems."
"After I tried hard with the company, we finally came up with this acquisition plan."
Xiao Xian pinched the contract tightly and flipped through the pages without saying a word.
Baofeng initially bid about 70 million, but this time it added 20 million at one time, and optimized a lot of conditions, and the intention to acquire was very strong.
To be honest, this contract is basically in line with Xiao Xian's psychological expectations.
Seeing this, Gu Cheng glanced at Zhang Zhongtian.
Before coming, they prepared several sets of plans in advance according to their predictions.
Although Gu Cheng didn't know how much Storm was bidding, the other party was obviously prepared.
After a half-moan.
He decided to launch the last package.
"Mr. Xiao, let's take a look at our contract before making a decision."
Gu Cheng raised his hand, and the finance handed over a contract in due course.
"Mr. Xiao, this is Mr. Gu's acquisition contract! If there is anything you are not satisfied with, we can negotiate again. ”
"I'll take a look first."
Xiao Xian took the contract, and the more he looked down, the more surprised he became.
"Mr. Gu, you ......"
Gu Cheng smiled, "Mr. Xiao, I'm not a businessman, and I'm not used to your business tricks." ”
"The acquisition plan in your hand is something I came up with after staying up late in the past two days, and it is my greatest sincerity to Lightning!"
Gu Cheng's eyes were sincere.
"I really want to reach a cooperation with your company, and I hope Mr. Xiao can consider it well!"
The two bids are actually about the same.
However, Gu Cheng's bidding document made more appropriate arrangements for the personnel management of the original company.
In addition, there is a good faith employment contract, as well as specific plans for the integration of the new company, etc.
Lightning's employees are what Xiao Xian is most interested in this bidding.
Don't mention anything else.
This contract really pierced Xiao Xian's heart.
Chen Qiang, who was familiar with Xiao Xian, had a bad premonition when he saw that his eyes were loose.
Although Unreal Engine currently has many shortcomings, once the new generation of Unreal Engine is successfully developed, the market potential is really not low.
Therefore, the acquisition of lightning is an important part of Storm's plan for the second half of the year.
The storm layout has been in place for half a year, forcing the lightning all the way to this realm, and now it is about to close, and it must not be cut off halfway!
"Xiao Xian, you and I both know one thing!"
Chen Qiang's eyes burned, "If Unreal Engine doesn't have enough capital investment, it won't be able to support it at all!" ”
"If you sell it to them, you'll completely ruin the illusion!"
Xiao Xian was unmoved.
"Chen Qiang, I think I know better than you what the future of Unreal Engine is!"
He cleared his throat.
"I've read the bids in detail, and I'm going to announce the results."
Gu Cheng's heart rose to his throat.
Although he decided to buy Lightning, he did not have any business management experience.
Seeing this, Zhang Zhongtian taught him a little.
For example, how to integrate the company after the transaction is completed, including how to continue the business, the construction of upstream and downstream channels, and what kind of human resources system to manage the new company.
Gu Cheng heard that one head and two were big, and he couldn't spare so much time to manage!
So he decided to simply find someone who could be trusted, capable, and knew lightning well enough to manage the company.
Lightning was founded by Xiao Xian, and in a way, this company is already equivalent to his child.
So in this bidding, after Gu Cheng discussed with Zhang Zhongtian, he added a recruitment contract.
With 10% of the company's technical shares, Xiao Xian is hired as the general manager of the company, and the salary of the post is calculated separately.
Zhang Zhongtian partnered to acquire Lightning, which already occupied ten percent of the shares, Su Qi donated generously, and Gu Cheng also left some for her.
Therefore, ten percent of the technology stocks are already the greatest sincerity that Gu Cheng can give at present.
Fortunately, the results did not disappoint him.
"I announce that Gu Cheng has won this bid!" Xiao Xian raised his voice.
"Mr. Gu, happy cooperation!"
Gu Cheng smiled and nodded, "Happy cooperation!" ”
Zhang Zhongtian laughed directly, "Xiao Xian, you really have vision!" ”
Chen Qiang was completely unacceptable to this result.
"Xiao Xian, are you really going to sell them Lightning?"
Before coming, Chen Qiang swore to the top management of Storm that he would win the lightning.
If the bid fails, how will he go back and pay the difference?
Chen Qiang couldn't help but ask: "Is it because the conditions for the storm are not enough, or are you resentful of me?" ”
"Don't you know me?"
Xiao Xian sneered, "I never bring personal emotions into my work, and the reason why I don't choose Storm is because it is different from Storm's business philosophy." ”
Chen Qiang didn't accept such an official excuse at all!
"Xiao Xian, Storm is one of the best game manufacturers in the industry, are you sure...... To offend the storm? ”
Gu Cheng snorted disdainfully, "Bidding is not a threat, this is what your company does?" ”
Xiao Xian sent the guest directly.
"Chen Qiang, the bidding is over, lightning is not welcome to you, please take your people and leave for me!"
"Xiao Xian, sooner or later, you will regret your decision today!"
Zhao Qiang put down the cruel words, glared at Gu Cheng fiercely, and then brushed his sleeves away.
