Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 282 Rejection of Share Swap Proposal

The next morning, Lin Baicheng took Mori Haruko, Chiba Nanako, and Sato Tsubasa to Taito Co., Ltd.

Nanako Chiba and Wataru Sato were assistants hired by Lin Baicheng later to assist Haruko Mori in managing Lin Baicheng's assets in Japan.Both of them are talents who graduated from prestigious schools, and they are not very old. Among them, Chiba Nanako is a woman, and Sato Tsuru is a man.

"Mr. Lin, long time no see!"

The person who personally entertained Lin Baicheng and his party this time was Mikhail Kogan, the president of Taito Co., Ltd. himself.

"Long time no see, Mr. Mikhail!"

Lin Baicheng and Mikhail shook hands, and then looked at another acquaintance, Akio Nakanishi: "There is also Nakanishan-san, I haven't congratulated you on your promotion." Now Akio Nakanishi is the president of Taito Co., Ltd. .

"Thank you Lin Sang!"

Akio Nakanishi is very happy about being promoted to president.

A few people were polite, and the conversation got to the point.

Mikhail said: "Mr. Lin, I invite you here this time because I want to discuss with you about important cooperation."

"Please say."

Lin Baicheng gestured.

"About our company's "Space Invaders" game, you must know Mr. Lin, right?"

Mikhail asked aloud, and after seeing Lin Baicheng nodded, he continued: "That's right, the sales of this game in Japan are very good, so the company is going to open an international market for this game. In the international market, currently Taidong only has channels in the United States, and there are not many channels in other countries, so I want to use the channels of Galaxy Games to promote this arcade game to the world.”

Regardless of the fact that Xinghe Game Company has only been established for about a year, this company has continuously developed several popular games, so most countries in the world have agent channels.

As for Taito Co., Ltd., although it was established earlier, there are not many popular games, and it does not have a big market in the United States, let alone open up markets outside the United States.

This time is different. "Space Invaders" is very popular in Japan. Taito Co., Ltd. tentatively put some machines in the United States, and the response is very good, so it is no surprise that this game will also become popular in the United States.

In this way, Taito Co., Ltd. of course wanted to open up wider markets such as Europe and South America, but the company had no channels, so it thought of Xinghe Game Company.

Lin Baicheng knows that "Space Invaders" is a classic game that does not lose to "Pac-Man" and "Tank War". The appearance of this game will more or less compete with several games of Galaxy Games. Fortunately, the game types are different , there is not much competition, otherwise Taidong Co., Ltd. would not be able to ask Lin Baicheng for help.

"In principle, I have no problem, but these channels were established with great difficulty by Galaxy Games, so I have to charge a channel fee."

Lin Baicheng has no objection to helping, but he will never agree to help Bai.

"this is necessary."

Mikhail had no objection to this, he said: "Let's discuss the specific expenses with the people below."

"it is good."

Lin Baicheng nodded, which was what he should have meant.The people below can still come forward if the negotiation is not successful. If the two of them negotiate in person at the beginning, there is almost no possibility of further negotiation if they fail to reach an agreement.

Mikhail said: "There is one more thing, that is, we hope that our Taidong Co., Ltd. can strengthen cooperation with Xinghe Game Company and join forces."

"What kind of enhanced cooperation law?"

Lin Baicheng asked a little curiously.

"Mutual shareholding, Taito Co., Ltd. and Xinghe Game Company hold 5% to 10% of each other's shares in each other's company, and give the other company a director's seat to strengthen the cooperation between the two companies."

Mikhail didn't pay much attention to Xinghe Games, a company that was only established for one year, at first, but with the continuous development of a number of popular games, the company's strength is now stronger than that of Taito Corporation , Mikhail was naturally moved, and wanted to obtain a certain share of this company.

"Thank you Mr. Mikhail for your attention, but Galaxy Games is currently implementing a big plan, and it is not suitable to introduce other shareholders for the time being, so I can only say sorry."

After some consideration, Lin Baicheng chose to shake his head and refuse.The reason why he considered it was just to save some face for Taidong Co., Ltd., so he pretended to think about it. In fact, he never thought about giving up the shares at all, because it would be too bad for him to give up the shares now.

Nakanishi Akio immediately said: "Lin Sang, even if our two companies hold each other's shares, it will not affect your control over the company, and the company's plan can continue to be implemented."

Mikhail agreed: "Mr. Lin, you can't interfere with Taidong's operation if you hold shares in Taidong, and Taidong can't interfere with the operation of Galaxy Games Company. Strengthening the cooperation between the two companies is beneficial to both of you and me. of."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Mikhail, the plan for Galaxy Games has reached a critical moment, so I can only say sorry."

Lin Baicheng still refused aloud, but he then said: "However, Xinghe Game Company will choose to go public in a few years, and will definitely release a lot of shares at that time. If Taidong Corporation intends to cooperate at that time, it can A certain proportion of the market value will be exchanged for shares."

Although Taidong Co., Ltd. will decline in the future, if Lin Baicheng intervenes, the future of Taidong Co., Ltd. is likely to change. In addition, Taidong has a lot of talents, and there is no harm in obtaining a certain percentage of shares in Taidong.

"Since you said that, Mr. Lin, let's talk about it later."

Mikhail felt a little regretful, but he had no choice but to give up. After all, the other party didn't want to exchange shares to strengthen cooperation, and there was nothing he could do.

"Okay, let's talk about it later."

Lin Baicheng nodded, but he knew in his heart that it would also be impossible to negotiate this matter.

The reason is simple. When Xinghe Game Company goes public, its market value will inevitably be more than five times the market value of Taito Co., Ltd. If it is exchanged at that time, 5% of Xinghe Game Company's shares can be exchanged for at least 25% of Taito Co., Ltd. shares.

In this case, it is meaningless for Taito Co., Ltd. to hold too few shares of Xinghe Game Company. If it holds too many shares, it will inevitably sell too many shares, which will affect the company's control.

It is impossible for Mikhail to agree to give up control of the company for a small amount of shares in Galaxy Games.You know, he didn't list Taito Co., Ltd., which shows how much he values ​​the company's control.

If it weren't for the fact that Xinghe Game Company has developed quite fast, it would be impossible for Mikhail to propose a share exchange.

Regarding Taito Co., Ltd.'s borrowing of the channel of Xinghe Game Company, Lin Baicheng handed it over to Haruko Mori and the three of them to discuss. He only needs to know about it at that time.
