By the time a large number of player messages from Gallic caught the attention of Kejin, Elden Ring was halfway through development.

He took a closer look at what had happened to Wonderland, and his brow furrowed slightly.

Unexpectedly, Wei Wangdi, a trick that was used in the previous life, is still its specialty in this life.

In his previous life, Wei Wangdi also used almost the same method to successfully disrupt many game companies with excellent reputations.

It also once set its sights on Yubi, and its peak shareholding in Yubi was as high as nearly 30%.

Seeing that the hostile takeover was about to be completed, all the players under Yubi asked for help, hoping to help Yubi get out of the clutches of Viwangdi.

In the end, it was Penguin and another major game company that injected capital to help Yubi alleviate the urgent need.

And in this life, I didn't expect Wei Wangdi to be doing it again.

But if you think about it, too.

Sooner or later, companies that are controlled by complete capital will eventually go down the path of disorderly annexation and expansion.

After all, I have never seen a capitalist who thinks he has little money.

Therefore, even if there is no Weiwangdi, there is no Yubi, and there is no Lanxing's current wonderland.

The same events will still play out between other companies.

Normally, this happens and it happens.

It's not nice to say.

With the current size of the number one player, it is very likely that he will splash himself with mud in this troubled water.

Even if the number one player injects funds, what about holding a part of the shares of Wonderland's Nplay platform?

As a company with a market value of nearly one trillion yuan, Viwangdi has a way to expel the number one player.

However, Kejin sees this as a good opportunity to help the number one player accelerate his expansion into Omi.

The Curiosity Realm itself is a game platform.

It is also the number one gaming platform in Gaul.

If Elden can be released on Nplay, it will save Kejin the trouble of going to Omi to open a new branch.

"It's not impossible to help." When Ke Jin was thinking to himself, Qiao Yuan on the side opened his mouth to answer.

"Mr. Ke, wouldn't this be too risky?"

"The first is that even if we help, it won't necessarily stop Vivodi's acquisition."

"The second is that if we really succeed, the follow-up "Elden" will probably need to share the revenue with Nplay in the entire overseas."

"Even, once other games are released in the future, because we don't have a branch, we can only put Nplay on the shelves, and entrust it to be sold as a publisher's agent, and the benefits will be further divided."

"In this way, it is far worse than us to open a branch in a country in Omi."

"No, it's not risky, and the odds are even great." Ke Jin showed a somewhat confident smile, which made Qiao Yuan slightly stunned, and he couldn't figure out what he meant by Ke Jin.

Actually, what Qiao Kite said, Ke Jin had considered it.

However, there is a third solution for Kejin.

Refer to the partnership between Penguin and Riot Game in the previous life.

Penguin is a 100% controlling parent company of Riot.

But Riot Game has 100% of the right to speak.

What games to play, how much money to use, how much to sell, how to hold the game, how to distribute the prize money, all have the final say within Riot, and the penguins will never interfere.

It's a very delicate symbiosis in the world of capital.

It is also the way Kejin wants to cooperate with Wonderland.

That is, he will contribute to the complete buyout of all the shares of the Wonderland company.

But the original team of Wonderland has 100% of the say when designing the game they want to make, and they also have 100% of the revenue of their own game, and the number one player will not interfere.

In the same way, the income of the number one player also belongs to the number one player.

This is the only solution that Kejin can accept at the moment.

If Wonderland doesn't say yes.

Then I can only ask him to find another master.

didn't explain too much to Qiao Yuan, Ke Jin just asked her to help reveal some voices.

Indicates that the number one player is willing to contact the top management of Wonderland and talk about cooperation.

Not long after the wind went out.

Simon, who is already the CEO of Wonderland and the largest shareholder of Nplay, after a detailed investigation of the development process of the company Player One.

I chose to have a call with Kejin online.

In the process, Simon expressed the greatest respect and said that no matter whether the cooperation negotiation is successful or not.

I am also very grateful that the number one player is willing to lend a helping hand in the current isolated state of Wonderland.

This sincerity has already melted the cold capital, so that business also exudes a touch of human light.

And Ke Jin also told Simon his thoughts very politely.

Soon, Simon, with his light brown beard, fell silent.

A request made by the number one player.

If only you look at it superficially.

In fact, it is no different from Viwangdi.

The ultimate goal of both is actually to complete the acquisition of Wonderland.

If it weren't for the desperation, Simon would have politely rejected the offer.

But now, Viwangdi's annexation plan is imminent.

And combined with Viwangdi's previous bad behavior.

Any game company that comes into its hands is basically a violent death, and its reputation is stinky.

On the other hand, the number one player has an excellent reputation in China.

And as a pure game company, the games produced by their family can be called one miracle after another.

Being acquired by such a company may not be bad.

And, in the conditions proposed by Kejin.

What impressed Simon the most was the rule that 'even after the acquisition, Wonderland will still be able to retain 100% of the original company activities, and any revenue from games produced by its own company will go to Wonderland'

And the price that Wonderland needs to pay is its own shares, as well as the control of the Nplay platform.

In simple terms.

Wonderland was previously the owner of the Nplay platform.

Once the conditions of the number one player are agreed.

It will be downgraded to a game publisher that publishes games on the Nplay platform.

It's just that compared to other game manufacturers, Wonderland doesn't need to go through publishers, and the Nplay platform will waive any of their commissions and take care of their distribution.

"I have to say, Mr. Ke, this condition is really quite tempting, it is already the best condition I can hear in times of crisis, but ......" Simon hesitated for a moment and said: "I still need to discuss with the company's senior management, you know, I have nothing at the beginning of the establishment of Wonderland, and today I can have this achievement, and I can't do without those employees who have worked hard for the company, this is an achievement I have created with them, I can't make a decision alone." ”

In this regard, Ke Jin expressed his understanding.

And also invited him to come to Huaguo to play if he has time, and try out the new game that the number one player is about to complete recently.

"I will, and in the end, thank you so much for giving Wonderland a chance to choose." Simon nodded.

Three days after the end of the call.

Kejin received a second call from Simon.

On the phone, Simon reported on the current situation.

Vivodi's shareholding has begun to move towards 40%, and they are still eating away at retail investors.

He currently holds 25% of the shares of Wonderland, and the company's senior executives hold a total of 15% of the shares.

In other words, there is still 20% of the shares scattered in the form of retail investors. (i.e. investors in the stock market)

"I've convinced 70 percent of the employees who hold the stock to agree to the number one player's request, but there are still 30 percent of the diehards left, who think ......" Simon is a little embarrassed.

Bringing back the conditions of the number one player three days ago, Simon had a meeting.

As expected, the high-level people in the conference room were arguing.

Despite Simon's efforts to convince everyone, 3 out of 10 still believe that the number one player is nothing more than 'Viwangdi in a mask'

After all, both companies want to buy the remaining 40% of Wonderland's own shares.

Why do you say you're the number one gamer thinking about the future of Wonderland?

Do you have any evidence?

Who wouldn't just move their mouths?

In desperation, Simon had no choice but to report the situation to Kejin.

And Ke Jin didn't say anything after hearing this.

I just strongly invited Simon to come to China and take a trip to the headquarters of the number one player.

It is useless to say more.

Let's see the real chapter with the quality of new works!

Show you what our number one player is doing at the moment, and you will know whether our number one player is sincere or not.

At Kejin's kind invitation, Simon invited him to go.

Soon, a few days later.

Ready Player One welcomes the first player in Elden Ring!

After a brief trial of Elden, Simon's eyes widened like brass bells.

The heart that has set off thousands of waves has not stopped until it has stepped out of the number one player company.

Shock!

Unbeatable shock!

Before he came, Simon still muttered a little in his heart.

Then when he left.

He can be sure.

This game as long as it maintains the quality of his pre-interview play, throughout the words.

Perhaps...... No.

Yes, definitely!

It's sure to take the Nplay platform to new heights like never before!

"I'm sorry I was even questioning before...... It was only after experiencing Elden that I realized how short-sighted I and my staff were. It's no exaggeration to say that I think Elden will be the greatest work that Blue Star has ever written! Before leaving, Simon gave Ke Jin a warm hug, and said with an excited smile on his face.

"With Elden's endorsement, I have reason to believe that Ready Player One is very different from Vivodi! They are capitalists, and you, my friend, you are careerists! You have the ambition to make the game truly top-notch for all players! ”

"When I go back this time, I will completely convince the remaining 30% of the shareholding employees, at most three days, Mr. Ke, you will become Nplay and become the largest shareholder of Wonderland!"

"Whether or not you can resist the pressure of Viwangdi in the next step depends on the number one player."

"Well, I will." Ke Jin also smiled and shook Simon's hand, and asked the chauffeur to take Simon all the way to the international airport.

Bidding farewell to Simon, Kejin also began to prepare for the acquisition funds.

Everything that was talked about before was whether Wonderland was willing to sell its shares.

Now people are willing.

What about the money?

Ke Jin now had to hurry to raise money.

Wonderland acquired the game platform as the largest game factory in Gaul.

Previously, the latest valuation was about 50 billion RMB.

The stake sold to the number one player this time was 41.78%

In other words, Kejin now needs to come up with 20 billion tickets, or a loan of equal value to buy this batch of shares.

Ke Jin took stock of the assets on hand.

The number one player currently has an inventory of around 5 billion.

Although it signed a list of 5 billion development projects with Dongzhi.

But this money can be sent to Dongzhi one after another, after all, construction also takes time, and there is no hurry to pay it all at once.

Sit back and wait for the many games in your hand to make money, then you have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.

After some thought, Ke Jin decided to reluctantly cut his love, sold the copyright and IP derivatives of some of the previous games, and began to receive a large number of business orders.

The first is "Naraka: Bladepoint"

"Naraka: Infinite", which was originally published in cooperation with Netcom, was originally the number one player and Netcom each holding 50% of the revenue, and the number one player held 100% of the full copyright.

was sold to Netcom for 50000000000000000000000000000000000

99% of the full copyright, the right to host e-sports events, and 49% of the revenue share were transferred.

Only 1% will be used as a name to participate in the follow-up development and design, and continue to output new characters, new weapons and new maps.

Netcom was naturally happy, and also promised the number one player that in the follow-up charging items and the competitive environment, the two important points, must be strictly controlled, and will not live up to the good reputation of the previous number one player who operated "Naraka: Infinite".

Secondly, it is the explosive opening of all game IP derivatives under the number one player except for "Mario".

Including but not limited to, peripherals, film and television, animation, comics, and other authorizations.

Completely ushered in a wave of player carnival, and within a week, once the surrounding area is new, it will be swept away.

However, when authorizing, Ke Jin still kept an eye on it.

The partners we are looking for are all reliable and top-ranked companies in various industries.

Avoid making some messy things and self-destructing signboards when the time comes.

Then there are a large number of big-name partner orders.

Together, a total of 5 billion was made.

In the end, there was still a difference of 5 billion, and Kejin went directly to the Jianglin government, and he sat and played tricks.

He had to ask Jianglin's local branch bank to lend him 5 billion yuan.

Otherwise, food and accommodation are in the city hall.

Mayor Jianglin couldn't cry or laugh.

Okay, you're the number one player, you dare to run to the town hall to play a scoundrel now, and I don't dare to think about what you dare to do in the future!

The cash flow of 5 billion yuan, although it is impossible for Jianglin Bank to break the muscles and bones, will not even have skin injuries.

But if you collect it in a short period of time, it will indeed be a short-term lack of qi and blood.

However, the foundation of the number one player, the company, is here, and the historical contribution is here, which has driven a considerable number of employment rates and a small amount of GDP contribution for Jianglin. (For a city, a tiny amount of GDP is already astronomical.) ）

Besides, people just borrow, and it's not that they don't pay it back.

The number one player is headquartered in Jianglin, and I'm afraid that he won't be able to run away as an old man?

Therefore, Mayor Jianglin also specially approved this large loan IOU.

In just half a month.

Kejin has collected the 20 billion funds needed to buy 40% of the shares of Wonderland.

Picking a good day, I took Qiao Yuan and the head of the legal department to go to Gaul and sign this crucial share transfer agreement.

So far.

With a shareholding rate of 41.78%, the number one player officially has the temporary largest voice of the first overseas game platform Nplay.

But this is already a killer move that Kejin has done everything he has to lay out overseas.

The news of the new shareholders in place also reached Wei Wangdi as soon as possible.

Connor was attending a lavish dinner with one of Vivendi's directors.

Upon learning of this, Connor was first shocked.

Immediately, his face showed ecstasy!

Double shot!

It's a godsend!

I'm worried about how to slap the number one player.

As a result, this little bastard is so good that he can't die, and he just sent it to his face?

After talking about the matter with the director, the director suddenly asked with a little surprise.

"That Ke Jin, when he knew that we Weiwangdi already held nearly 40% of the shares of Wonderland, but he still wanted to go out and buy the other 40% of the shares of Wonderland, what was his purpose?"

"Quite simply, he's gambling." Connor shook the wine glass in his hand lightly, and said with a smile as he enjoyed the moving song and dance in the distance: "He is now betting all his hopes on his so-called 'open world' game selling out." ”

"What happens if it does sell out?" The director added.

As investors, directors usually only look at the end result.

I don't pay much attention to a series of chores for the company.

However, the director he faced was not a small shareholder in Viwangdi, and Connor continued to explain carefully.

"If it really sells out, it will directly lead to an increase in the market value of Nplay, and once the market value increases, the remaining 20% of retail investors will not sell their shares if they think there is still a chance to rise, which will seriously hinder us from completely merging Wonderland. Or even say...... Once we move towards this development, the remaining 40% of our shares will become dead shares and will be forced to sell them. ”

Although Wei Wangdi holds shares in Wonderland, he is not the largest shareholder of Wonderland, so he has no right to speak for the time being.

can only enjoy the dividends brought by the increase in market value, and even the company's internal income cannot be touched.

And once the number one player has the ability to drive the market value of Nplay.

That's dangerous.

It seems that this set of logic is very complicated.

But actually, there's the simplest example.

It's easy to devalue something worth a dollar, and to devalue it.

It's rare to sell it for 100 yuan.

When a person can control even the rise in market value, it is very simple to control the decline in market value.

Then at that point, the number one player can make Nplay's market cap worthless if they want to.

The 20 billion invested by Weiwangdi will all be wasted.

For Vivendi's shareholders, this is clearly unacceptable.

Therefore, under unforeseen circumstances, they will sell their shares to seek stability.

The stock market has been up and down, all the time.

"Oh?" Hearing this, the director's brows furrowed slightly: "Listening to what you say, he seems to have a success rate?" ”

"Nope." Connor shook his head and smiled confidently, "What I just said is hypothetical, but he won't succeed." ”

"Whether it's the Hugo Award-winning Shadow Realm that we've spent a lot of money on and is about to be released, or DFgame has the media voice in the Omi gaming world. If his new work wants to break the routine and break through the blockade, he needs to make the new work explode tenfold, or even a hundredfold, to be called terrifying worldly level of influence. ”

With that, Connor raised his glass of wine and swore to the director.

"But you and I both know that it's impossible. No one can achieve this feat, and Ready Player One is no exception. ”

Bang.

The two red wine glasses collide gently together, making a crisp sound.

The curved surface of the sleek goblet reflects Connor's confident smile.

"Wait and see, the show is about to begin."

It's almost the foreshadowing

I know you don't like to read business mess, and I don't like to write about it, because I don't know much about it myself, and this is the first time this kind of large-scale business communication has been featured in this book

But the protagonist's company still needs a point of borrowing to expand outward, even in reality, foreign games need to go through agents if they want to enter China

Even if it is a platform with a wide range of aspects, such as steam, it is necessary to give CN steam money

If you want to make your own games without being divided, you can easily spread all over the world, and there is currently only one game that can do it - MC

And it was also the MC before it was sold to Microsoft

As for the current MC, although it is Microsoft's, it is unrealistic for the genuine version to enter the country unconditionally, and 100% of the income will flow into Microsoft

In the end, I talked about an agent, and at present, if I remember correctly, it should be the pig farm acting as an agent, although the agent is half-dead

But anyway, the reason why this paragraph is written is so that the protagonist can rationalize and get 100% of the income of his game

Besides, this plot is not completely made up by me.,It's happened in reality.,So I'll borrow it.,Although the details are different.,You can simply understand it as'The protagonist has a fully controlled game platform abroad.,Later release the game.,Go to the official website of the number one player in China.,Take this platform abroad.'It's over.

The next chapter is crazy! No, the next chapter officially opens the Elden chapter.,It's estimated that it's going to be a long piece of content.,As the first real 3A masterpiece in this book.,It's also my favorite work in the soul class.,It's expected that you may have to write about 10~15 chapters.
