Chapter 613: Blue Hole: He gave too much
May 17.
At the same time that "The Sewing Machine Band" exceeded 600 million at the box office, "Parasite" also appeared at the Cannes Film Festival.
But Xu Jia, as the initiator, did not participate anymore.
There were more important things for him to do.
For example, the negotiations with the Blue Hole.
Goryeo, Seoul.
Although Jiaxing's business has progressed to this point, Xu Jia is still here for the first time.
Without informing anyone, he quietly rushed over alone.
This action is also a big gamble that is no less than investing in miHoYo, but only he knows the hole cards of this gamble.
Even so, we have to beware of domestic giant companies.
With Xu Jia's understanding of them, with his current reputation, those guys will cut off what they want with their eyes closed.
Inside a large office building near Gangnam Station.
Xu Jia met Zhang Binggui, the co-founder of Blue Hole Studio.
The latter, as a person in the game industry, is naturally unfamiliar with Xu Jia, a familiar face in the film and television industry.
It can't be called familiar, but with a hint of condescension: "Chinese people? Do you want to talk about the authorization of PUBG, it seems that not all Chinese people are ignorant of goods. ”
Speaking of words, a deep resentment pervades the air, and there is no one who does games in Goryeo who does not covet the huge Chinese game market.
However, the Blue Hole failed several times, and the earliest "TERA" exploded in Goryeo once it was launched, and then the figure of 40 million US dollars for Huaxia agency rights was opened, and the best opportunity to enter the market was missed.
When Kunlun Wanwei won the agency four years later, the domestic MMO game market had already been occupied by "Sword and Soul", and then it was suspended for two years.
These guys don't know where to come to the conclusion, they feel that the favorite of Chinese players is still the page game, so they learned from the pain, and added a lot of the essence of the page game to the second game "Demon Contract", and then still hit the street for two years.
This time, PUBG has changed direction and aimed at the global market.
Unexpectedly, it attracted Xu Jia, a Chinese businessman, to seek agency.
"Goryeo games have always developed very well in China, but your level has always been average, unfortunately, I came this time to talk about the agent of PUBG, and the second is to acquire Blue Hole, as for which one to choose, the decision is in your hands." Xu Jia got straight to the point.
Today, "PUB" has become a small name around the world.
But compared to the potential of the other party, there are enough benefits to win now.
From the beginning to the end, he never considered the problem of not being able to take it, and there was only one problem that he couldn't take it, that is, the price was not high enough.
And he is very familiar with the future, he is very clear about the potential of Blue Hole and "Jedi Escape", and the price he gives definitely exceeds the other party's expectations.
"Are you kidding us when you buy us? Nowadays, the middleman is really anyone who dares to introduce it. ”
Zhang Binggui suddenly lost interest, thinking that he was another liar who came to fool people, how could he really come alone if he really had the financial resources to be introduced through an intermediary company.
"I was sent by miHoYo to negotiate, the "Honkai" series is our company's product, for this year's listing plan, we plan to acquire a game company, and your blue hole is within our consideration." Xu Jia said solemnly.
Anyway, when the call goes to Mihoyou, Liu Wei will only cooperate with him.
And as a shareholder of miHoYo, strictly speaking, he is indeed a member of miHoYo.
"Mihoyo? The Honkai series? ”
Zhang Binggui thought for a while, he was still a little familiar with this Huaxia company that had sprung up in the second yuan, and in the video call dialed by the other party, it was Liu Wei, the founder of miHoYo, who was skeptical, "The agency can be discussed, the acquisition will be exempted, the blue hole is currently in good business condition, and it is not planned to sell, you must know that the Penguin Group of China has sent us an acquisition intention, but it has been rejected by the board of directors." ”
He was pondering how to get a lot of money from this Chinese man.
Before that, I didn't mind using penguins to inflate my value, not to mention that this was indeed true.
Xu Jia was stunned, he really didn't know that the Penguin Group had been interested in Blue Hole Studio before "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" became popular, no wonder the latter developed so strongly.
It is really tentacles all over the world, but where there is a little potential, you can see the olive branch extended by penguins, and now it has changed from a financing company to an investment group.
"Hehe, don't resist so much, you can go back and tell the people on your board of directors about my offer, how about 100 million US dollars, as far as I know, your market value is only 100 billion won, think carefully and then reply to me, if it is just the agency fee of "PUBG" in the Huaxia region, then there will not be such a high premium, after all, your studio's products have never had a precedent of success in the Huaxia market." Xu Jia said unhurriedly.
He just clearly wants to stun the other party with money, and after the global explosion of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", the market value of Blue Hole rose from 100 billion won to 6 trillion, that is to say, in less than a year, he achieved a triple jump and increased his market value sixty times.
This kind of income is hard to find all over the world with lanterns, even if Xu Jia can't fully control it, as long as he can make more than half of it, it is enough for him to make a lot of money.
After all, the biggest value of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is in the mobile game, which is the development of the Penguin Group in its previous life to the extreme, on the contrary, the terminal game is called a half-dead in the hands of the Blue Hole.
"It's not funny......
It's just that Zhang Binggui's words came to an abrupt end halfway through.
Because Xu Jia stretched out his Citibank balance in front of the other party, Zhang Bingkun was dazzled by the series of zeros.
This is the global box office share of Jiaxing Films, of which "Parasite" accounts for the majority, and the bits and pieces together are enough to make Zhang Binggui, who has a narrow vision, speechless.
The other party involuntarily became respectful and said, "I hope you can give us a period of time to consider this, after all, the entire company is involved, and we need to discuss it carefully." ”
said no, but when the opportunity to double the shares in his hand was in front of him, he couldn't help but be moved.
"It's okay, I still have this patience, but it's best not to keep me waiting too long, after all, there are other companies I want to visit besides you Blue Hole."
Xu Jia looked calm and relaxed, and made it clear that the target of this trip was not only Blue Hole, otherwise he would definitely be pinched to death by the other party.
By the way, he reminded: "I advise you not to think about using the Penguin Group to raise the price, you should have heard of the domineering of the penguins, as long as they are involved, I will retreat immediately." ”
In fact, as long as the penguin knows that he is interested in the blue hole, he is afraid that he can afford to pay any price.
However, his words still frightened Zhang Binggui, and immediately dispelled the careful thoughts that had just been born in his heart.
