Age of Dreams

Vol 2 Chapter 1974: Exchanges and acquisitions

There is never a shortage of smart people in this world.

Many people in the financial world can see exactly how bad the situation of Fannie and Freddie is.

But many people think that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are too important to the United States, and the US government must save them, otherwise it will cause great social unrest.

However, seeing the recent performance of the U.S. government, many people are a little flustered again.

What if the US government does not save Fannie and Freddie?

At that time, these two giant companies could only declare bankruptcy, and the 10 trillion US dollars of bonds and mortgages would be wiped out, and mortgages would be nothing. This has nothing to do with financiers and investors, but it affects global investment institutions. Heart.

Under this worry, investment institutions immediately became polarized.

Some people still believe that the U.S. government is not so courageous, while other people have begun to seek a way out.

Not only those who bought US bonds, but also those who are worried about the depreciation of their assets, are looking for a business that can get rid of losses and finally make them profitable.

When Hoffman came to the capital to find Xiao Qi, it represented the earnest hope of some investors.

"You're not kidding, Reid!" Xiao Qi, who was in charge of Hoffman in the restaurant, said in surprise: "You were just bought out like this? Don't you care about my interests at all?"

"Let's come!" Hoffman said while eating the Capital Roast Duck, "You haven't told me that you can't sell it. I have worked so hard to find a buyer for you. You should thank me. correct!"

"Stop it!"

Xiao Qi also replied: "I want to sell it, but it's not right now. It has only been in operation for more than half a year. It hasn't fully utilized its strength, so let me sell it? Are you kidding me? Reid!!"

"Not a lot, Xiao Qi!" Hoffman swallowed the roast duck and drank a sip of light oolong tea, with a rare positive expression: "Do you think it is true that they valued US$15 billion? They gave it back to Bo OK is valued at 100 billion U.S. dollars! Can Bo OK have this price?"

Boss. Wave ok is really not worth 100 billion US dollars, it is worth 200 billion US dollars!

Xiao Qi didn't say this, but he also admitted that Hoffman was right. Don't think that you can sell as much as others estimate.

The key still depends on the company's ability to continue to grow.

There is nothing wrong with the popular games of, but they are all fast-consuming games, without any background, no feelings, just fun games.

ea. That is, Electronic Arts is different. Many of its games are series of games that have lasted for more than ten years, such as "Need for Speed", "Battlefield Series", "The Sims", "Command and Conquer", "Series"

Many people play these games until they grow up. Those feelings and youthful years are destined to make Electronic Arts' games into the era of mobile games, and they can also create extremely powerful profits.

Just like Transformers, the children in China in the 1980s watched it grow up, and waited until 2008. The live-action version of Transformers has been released one after another, and it happens that these people are in their twenties and thirties. The spending power is the strongest, so Transformers has been smashing the box office in China. It is estimated that it will be easy to surpass Avatar in the future.

In the previous life, Zynga's highest share price after listing reached 11.5 billion U.S. dollars, which can be called the overlord of the entire game industry, even more powerful than Electronic Arts.

But what happened later?

Not two years of effort. Zynga has weakened. There are many reasons. The first is that they can’t guarantee that every game invested heavily in it can make money. The second is that the competition is too fierce. The third is that the direction of development is wrong...and so on. . When zynga arrived in 2013, it was a medium-sized company, no longer the domineering that swept the world.

This is why Xiao Qi said that the company's ability to continue to grow is very important.

If you want to develop, based on Xiao Qi's understanding of the future, he will inevitably follow that path.

In terms of games, the pressure of competition has gone. People's ability to like the new and dislike the old is not a boast. You need to innovate anytime and anywhere. If you don't innovate, you will go from prosperity to weakness in a short while.

For such an industry, Xiao Qi's plan is not to touch it, but to find more industries that can be passed down for a century or a thousand years. This is the fun of starting a business.

However, the plan is like this, but Xiao Qi's valuation of 15 billion US dollars has never been low, and he even feels that this price is not enough to match the enhanced version of the Zynga game empire.

"No matter what people outside say, anyway, I think that if the company's valuation is less than 20 billion US dollars, I will not give up." Xiao Qi thought for a moment, and said sternly to Hoffman.

"Oh? You still have enough confidence!" Hoffman said nonchalantly.

"What do you think?" Xiao Qi smiled, "We have 15 games, with more than 100 million weekly active numbers, and 20 games with more than 60 million active weekly numbers. Social networking sites, our game market The share is 70%. Do you think such a company is not worth 20 billion US dollars?"

"Haha!"

Hoffman also laughed, "Of course I hope it will be as valuable as possible! But the problem is that we are about to face the cold winter of the financial crisis. When everyone is holding their wallets tightly, you can guarantee that they will be as valuable as they are now. ?"

"When the world economy enters the cold winter, people don’t worry about putting their money in the bank. It's better to use it to invest in valuable industries." Xiao Qi said, "The more at this time, the better the company will be recognized by others. As the smart electronics industry continues to prosper, we have only more and more prosperous. If you want to take away the shares, you have to show sincerity!"

"Don't tell me, others are really sincere." Hoffman took out a document from the bag beside him, "Let's take a look!"

Xiao Qi picked it up and looked at it, but it was a project of Bayeux Ventures.

It says that 10% of Israel’s shares will be exchanged, and an additional 2 billion US dollars will be added to acquire% of the shares.

"They wanted it well, and they took 40% of the shares in 4 billion. They dare to be in the eyes of their Bayeux Ventures. Ours should be depreciated." Xiao Qi threw the folder aside, dismissively said.

"You can't do that. According to the normal value calculation, 10% of the shares of **** must be worth at least 4 billion US dollars. They are equivalent to buying 40% of the shares with 6 billion US dollars, which is also 15 billion US dollars, which is considered kind. "Hoffman said, "What's more, doesn't your little girlfriend want to completely take back the shares of sex? Now is also a good opportunity!"

Good guys!

Even this point is calculated in it, and it seems that this group of people is determined to win.

Including Hoffman is the same, if he did not take advantage of others, he would not be so positive.

Where he thought about it, Xiao Qi asked directly: "Reid, can you tell me why you are so willing to actively promote the shares I sold?"

"You can see it all." Hoffman smiled wryly: "This is because they told me that if they get the shares, then they will promote the merger with Electronic Arts and make this company a The new giant in the game industry! I am not very interested in money, but I am very interested in creating a giant in the game industry by myself."

"Haha!" Xiao Qi laughed, "They are really ambitious! With such a stubborn boss of Electronic Arts, can they be sure to convince them?"

"No matter how stubborn you are, you must keep up with the times!" Hoffman sighed: "Tripp and I have been good friends for more than ten years. He also wants to explode, and it is a good opportunity... He has promised Now, if he comes to merge with Electronic Arts, then he is willing to promote the success of the plan."

After a pause, he said again, "Xiao Qi, we are also friends~www.readwn.com~ I will not cheat you. This time they bought 40% of the shares, and you still have 44% of the shares in your hand. Is it? Even after the merger with Electronic Arts, it still has a share of at least 30%, and it is still the largest shareholder of the newly established company. In this way, you have got 10% of the shares and 2 billion US dollars. Becoming the largest shareholder of the world's largest game company, what's wrong with it?"

"It's true that there is nothing wrong, but I feel a bit lost." While Xiao Qi answered, subconsciously tapping the table with his fingers, he fell into thinking.

Hoffman didn't bother Xiao Qi, but slowly started to eat.

But he knew that Xiao Qi definitely didn't have any deep feelings for him, because he still remembered the words that Xiao Qi had said when he founded the three companies.

Xiao Qi has always been prepared to hold, and firmly holds; he can hold most of it, but waits for the best time to sell.

Now Xiao Qi is hesitating, it's just a question of price.

He is not the person who paid for the purchase, and these negotiations on the price will be left to them to discuss, anyway, it will be good to bring this meaning to it. (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!
