Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 40 Phil Smith

Out of reciprocity, Lin Baicheng went to the airport to pick him up at three o'clock in the morning when the American agent came to the door in person.

The employee of Galaxy Games in the United States is called Liu Shixiong. He took an English name of Turner. He was an overseas student before and just graduated this year. Galaxy Games is a company where he entered the society to work formally.

Lin Baicheng shipped ten arcade machines to RB and the United States at the beginning, but unlike Hideyoshi Yamada who kept running agents, according to reports from employees sent to the United States, Liu Shixiong brought arcade machines out except for the first time when he went to Atari to seek an agent. In addition, although he also said to go to the agency later, he didn't take the arcade out. The staff guessed that Liu Shixiong might be going out to do his own business.

Thinking that Liu Shixiong had just graduated, Lin Baicheng guessed that the other party should have regarded the work of Galaxy Games as excessive, and then looked for the ideal job while receiving the salary of Galaxy Games, and went to interviews every day under the pretext of looking for an agent.

Out of this speculation, Lin Baicheng asked the two employees who were going to Los Angeles to stay there, as if the company sent them on a business trip.

But before the agent arrived, Liu Shixiong didn't sell all the arcade machines. Every weekend he would take two employees to a large arcade store to sell arcade machines, so he sold seven machines.

Because Lin Baicheng only shipped ten machines at the beginning, Liu Shixiong also contacted Xiangjiang to send some more goods, but was rejected by Lin Baicheng, because he had already decided to participate in the Los Angeles exhibition in October, and at the same time waited for him to go directly To get rid of this Liu Shixiong, he never thought of relying on Liu Shixiong to open up the market.

Although an American agent came to Xiangjiang in person this time, Lin Baicheng still did not intend to keep Liu Shixiong, because Liu Shixiong's previous performance made him very dissatisfied, and he would not let such a person stay in the company forever.

The American agent from Los Angeles is called Phil Smith. He is a young man in his 20s. He doesn’t look over 30 years old. Judging from his temperament, conversation and other behaviors, he is probably a rich second-generation rich third-generation ilk.

In addition to Liu Shixiong, Phil Smith and his party came quite a lot, including bodyguards, lawyers, and an interpreter.

At the airport, Lin Baicheng and them just had a few polite words, and then sent them to the hotel to rest.Because I didn't expect that Phil Smith and his party would have so many connections, and they had to open a few more hotel rooms temporarily.

Phil Smith and his group needed jet lag and rest, and Lin Baicheng sent them to the hotel and went back to sleep.

At noon, after the two parties had dinner together, Lin Baicheng took Phil Smith and his party to the factory, first took them to a tour, and then talked.

Out of distrust and dissatisfaction with Liu Shixiong, Lin Baicheng directly sent him home and put him on vacation, since he is also from Xiangjiang anyway.As for the translation issue, Lin Baicheng had hired a professional translator yesterday.

In the factory office.

On the Xinghe game side are Lin Baicheng, Liu Yihui and the translator, and on Phil Smith's side are himself, a lawyer and a translator, the same three people.As for Phil Smith's bodyguard, they went downstairs and waited.

After some politeness, let's get to the point.

Phil Smith said: "Mr. Lin, I came to Xiangjiang this time to take a stake in your company. I have some connections in Wall Street. As long as the company operates well, it is not impossible for the company to be listed on the US stock market in the future."

"I'm sorry Mr. Smith, I have no idea of ​​introducing capital for the time being."

Lin Baicheng immediately shook his head when he heard this. He doesn't have to control 100% of his company. He doesn't mind others buying shares in his company, nor does he mind listing the company, but the timing must be chosen well.Xinghe game has just started to develop. At this time, letting people buy shares is completely to share their own interests, so he is not that stupid.

Phil Smith, who was rejected, was not surprised, but said: "Mr. Lin, I think you can listen to my offer first."

"Mr. Smith, I don't think your offer will satisfy me."

Lin Baicheng shook his head, but he said so, but he still didn't mind listening to Phil Smith's offer.

"No, Mr. Lin, you will be satisfied."

Phil Smith confidently raised his index finger and said, "For 1000 million US dollars, I only need 20% of the company's shares, which means that I will value Mr. Lin's company at 5000 million US dollars."

Listening to the trembling voice of the interpreter, Lin Baicheng shook his head and said: "Mr. Smith, I said that your quotation cannot satisfy me. To be honest, my company has signed an exclusive agency contract with RB's Taidong Co., Ltd. Contract, we sold more than 1000 million US dollars in our first order, Mr. Smith, do you still think I will accept your offer?"

"Sorry, it seems that I didn't investigate clearly."

Phil Smith didn't think that Lin Baicheng would lie about this kind of thing, and he really didn't find out about it. He just checked the approximate orders of Galaxy Games in Xiangjiang and Southeast Asian countries, so his valuation of 5000 million US dollars is already very high.

"Mr. Lin, for $2000 million, I still only want 20% of the shares."

Phil Smith directly doubled the valuation of Galaxy Games. In his opinion, the orders from Galaxy Games and Taito Co., Ltd. have already made Galaxy Games millions of dollars. This is just RB, the United States and Europe. Before the country is counted, he wants to invest in Galaxy Games even more.

"Mr. Smith, you still don't have to bid anymore, no matter how much you bid, I won't be satisfied."

Lin Baicheng waved his hand, he didn't want to talk about this topic any more, so as not to make the discussion unpleasant, he changed the subject and said: "Mr. Smith, let's talk about the game "Xiangjiang Square". This time you come to Xiangjiang to find me, you should Do you have an idea of ​​representing this game?"

"Mr. Lin, I know you must have a valuation for your company. Please tell me, if I can accept it, then please let me become a shareholder of your company. I am really optimistic about your company. If I can't accept it , then I have no choice but to give up, what do you think?"

Phil Smith didn't want to give up just like this, because he was optimistic about the game industry and would enter this industry as an agent. If Atari had not been sold to Warner, he actually wanted to invest in Atari more.

Unfortunately, just last year, Atari was sold to Warner with a market value of less than 3000 million U.S. dollars, but it received [-] million U.S. dollars from Warner for research and development, so at first Phil Smith thought he offered The price was already high, but I didn't expect that Galaxy Games and Taito Co., Ltd. had already signed an exclusive agency contract, and the first order was tens of millions of dollars.
