Chapter 147 Wanbao Game (for Subscription)

"Mill kill! Denglongjian!"

This line seems to have become the favorite mantra of the children this summer.

with...

The same version of the Dragon Sword in the animation "Dragon Fighter" is selling very well, and the sales volume of toys is not inferior to the two models of "Dragon God" and "Dragon King".

The influence is still spreading!
To this day, Dragon Fighter may not be Wanbao's highest-rated animation work, but it is definitely the most popular work among boys.

This level of love is even more exaggerated than the original "Lei Sudeng Lightning Crossing the Line".

In the words of a well-known animation blogger [I am a scumbag]:
"Lei Sudeng is very popular, but everyone only remembers all kinds of remote control cars after watching it. "Dragon Fighter" is different. The Dragon God is very cool and handsome, but Xiao Du and his partners are also unforgettable... "

Hexagon fighters are overrated.

But it is undeniable that whether it is character creation, plot development, or the design of the main demon god, the animation "Dragon Fighter" has done a good job.

The brave and reliable Xiaodu and the domineering Dragon God, the funny and humorous Master Shibalagu and the occasionally unchained Ares, the lively and lovely Simig...

Even if the animation is not like "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" and "Pigman", it has achieved amazing results in ratings.

But in the eyes of the audience, especially boys.

"Dragon Fighter" is undoubtedly the best animation they have seen this year, not even one of them!If the full score is ten, they are even willing to give eleven points!
But there is one regret.

There are only 45 episodes of such a beautiful animation?Since the first season of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" ended, why has Uncle Gu's length become shorter and shorter?
"You are short, your whole family is short!"

Faced with the audience's doubts, Gu Miao became annoyed and said, "It's not my fault that there are fewer animation episodes, let alone 45 episodes, isn't it too short?"

Haven't seen Neon anime, have you?
If this is considered short, for those animations with only 12 episodes in a season, wouldn’t the supervisor have to drag them out and shoot them for 5 minutes?
"But you did get shorter."

Ma Kui counted with his fingers: "Pigman and Sheep and Goat Games, let's not talk about animations that are not supervised by you."

"530 episodes of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, 50 episodes of Leisudeng Lightning Crossing the Line, 45 episodes of Dragon Fighter..."

right!

There is also a "Sailor Moon" that is sandwiched between Lei Sudeng and Dragon Fighter, which has not been broadcast yet. The total episodes are about 45-50 episodes.

The audience was really right.

Anyone who is not blind can tell that Gu Miao has released animation works from last year to now, and the number of episodes is getting smaller and smaller.

"you shut up!"

Gu Miao glanced at Ma Kui angrily, and couldn't help asking: "I'm not short, do I need you to remind me? How are you doing what I asked you to do?"

"It's okay, it's going well."

"Selected by Seto, the comrade code-named Wasp has initially contacted the president of the game company."

When it came to business, Ma Kui said with a serious face: "Judging from the tone of the first contact, he is not very happy to be acquired."

Very reasonable.

As the founder of a company, the company's operating conditions are good, and life is extremely nourishing. Who would want to sell the company when they have nothing to do?
Unless it's an undeniable price!

However, Gu Miao had calculated that the company that launched the game "Spirit Trainer" was valued at about 2-3 million yen, or around 1000-1500 million RMB.

This is normal valuation.

Negotiating an acquisition at this price, others will definitely disagree. If you want to win the other party, start with a premium of at least 20%.

20% depends on the situation.

The founder has the idea of ​​cashing out and running away, so it can basically be negotiated.But if the founder has no idea of ​​cashing out, the premium ratio may be higher.

Gu Miao's bottom line is 100% premium!

That is to say, given a double valuation, as long as they are willing to sell, Wanbao can take over immediately with money, and keep the original game development team by the way.

Of course, the bottom line is the bottom line.

During the initial contact, the attitude that Gu Miao conveyed to the other party was just the acquisition "according to market valuation".

Obviously, the other party refused to accept it.

"The second contact was more unexpected."

Ma Kui said with a smile: "When Comrade Wasp revealed to him that we are a multinational company that hopes to make a big splash in the game industry, he became interested."

Multinational corporation?

Big plans in the game industry?
Gu Miao couldn't hold back, she laughed and said, "And then? What did he say?"

"His attitude has softened a little, probably because he feels that being close to a big company is beneficial to the company's development, so he is willing to sell some shares to us."

Part of the equity is useless!
What Gu Miao wanted was not a "shareholder" status, what he wanted was "Elf Trainer" and the game development team.

"At the third contact, we raised the offer, but he had some objections to the price, thinking it was too low!"

Ma Kui smiled and said: "He still wants to lie to us, saying that another company also wants to take a stake in them, and the price it offers is extremely high..."

clever!

If it wasn't for Comrade Wasp's cleverness and quick-witted investigation, he might have been fooled.

But since Wanbao has already investigated, he will definitely not be easily fooled.

Comrade Wasp immediately said: "Brother! Since someone values ​​you so much, then you agree to him! Don't consider my feelings, I don't mind..."

Negotiations were immediately suspended.

After about three or four days, the other party couldn't hold back anymore, and asked Comrade Hornet to go out for a drink again, revealing his rough bottom line.

"If you want to keep the management, you can't lay off employees easily, leave him about 10% of the shares for retirement, and the premium ratio must reach 50%?"

After hearing this request, Gu Miao couldn't help but frown and said, "The layoffs and management's request are easy to talk about. I know the tradition at Nihong, but what does it mean for him to keep 10% of the shares for retirement?"

"It's very simple, he still wants to stay and play games."

Ma Kui explained: "The founder of this company, as far as I know, is a person who loves game development."

"Then..."

Gu Miao pondered: "Reserve 1% of the shares for him that will not be diluted, and use it as a symbol. Let's go to the head office now?"

you can!

This is the reply that Comrade Wasp sent back after receiving instructions from the headquarters to start the fifth round of negotiations with the president.

The other party accepted the treaty.

But the purchase price also reached an unprecedented 3.465 million yen, equivalent to nearly 1800 million yuan.

Gu Miao reluctantly signed the agreement, and then took the foreign exchange channel from the bank to complete this cross-border, cross-industry acquisition.

In the end, the neon game developer named "スプライトゲーム" changed its name to "Elf" studio.

Wanbao Computer Technology Co., Ltd., registered in Jiangchuan, referred to as Wanbao Games, has completed the acquisition of the holdings of the "Elf" studio, and the studio has been relocated to Jiangchuan.

it is a pity that……

In the development team of about 40 people, only half of them were willing to work in Jiangchuan in the end, and the remaining half chose to leave with "severance pay".

　Spring finals, TES come on!
