Starting From The Internet Shenhao

Chapter 427

Chen Hao went to the company, leaving behind the Lin Xiaoning sisters.

Lin Xiaoning was sitting in the driver’s seat of the car door, and Lin Qinghua was sitting in the co-pilot’s seat happily. The two planned to get acquainted with the car.

This car is really very different from the old Toyota car at home. Lin Xiaoning doesn’t know why many buttons are used.

Just after opening the door, when she tried to reach out and close the door, Lin Xiaoning realized that she couldn’t reach it!

Leaning forward, he stretched his arms out, but still a little too close to reach.

When she finally closed the door out of breath, her arm was about to cramp…

“There is a problem with the design of this car! It’s too embarrassing to close the door like this, it’s not elegant at all!” Lin Xiaoning complained.

Lin Qinghua, who was next to her, just smiled and watched Lin Xiaoning “work hard” to close the door, and didn’t say anything.

But at this time, she sneered proudly: “You don’t understand this! Rolls-Royce’s door is not that closed. See, there is a button here. You only need to press it, and the door will be closed. .”

As she said, she pressed a silver button on the side of the door frame, and the car door that had been opened slowly closed as expected.

You don’t need to reach out to pull the car door by yourself, it’s really elegant…

Lin Xiaoning exclaimed: “How do you know this? Have you ever sat in a Rolls Royce before?”

“Hehe, I saw it on Douyin. People who watch Douyin a lot basically know Rolls-Royce cars!” Lin Qinghua said triumphantly.

“Ah? That’s okay? Sure enough, the poorer the better, the better the car.” Lin Xiaoning sighed.

Now Lin Qinghua can’t laugh…

After fiddling for a while, she was familiar with the car, and Lin Xiaoning carefully drove out of the complex.

When passing the gate, she also enjoyed the treatment of Chen Hao, and the guard stood straight and saluted her…

“Let’s go to the Harley store, haven’t you called and said you are going to go this morning?” Lin Xiaoning asked while driving.

Who knows, Lin Qinghua hesitated, “Forget it, don’t go.”

“Ah? Why are you not going anymore?” Lin Xiaoning asked in surprise.

“After seeing your car, I don’t have much interest in Harley anymore. The gap is too big. Hey, it can’t be compared…” Lin Qinghua said sadly.

Indeed, from the first sight of this Rolls-Royce Phantom, Lin Qinghua fell in love with this car madly.

In the past, I just watched small videos on the Internet, and I didn’t feel that strong yet.

But when the real car was in front of her, she felt that this car dared to sell millions of cars, and it really made sense.

In contrast, the once dream car, Harley Motors, is like an ugly duckling…

Especially, this car turned out to be my sister’s!

Then the gap was even greater, and Lin Qinghua couldn’t accept it.

Think about it, if you ride a Harley motorcycle by yourself, let alone the wind and rain, it’s summer again, and it’s so greasy by the sun!

After going out for a while, he was sweaty and embarrassed.

And my sister drove the Rolls-Royce Phantom, so elegant and comfortable.

This is simply, there is no harm without comparison!

Don’t you want to lose face…

Therefore, Lin Qinghua is no longer interested in the so-called Harley motorcycle.

The things that have been dreamed of are naturally insignificant in comparison with the better things.

Now, she has only one idea, that is to make money and buy her own Rolls-Royce Phantom!

Of course, if you can’t make so much money, you can find a rich and generous boyfriend like Chen Hao…

“Okay, I didn’t approve of you buying a motorcycle. With the money, wouldn’t it be more comfortable to buy a car than that.” Lin Xiaoning said readily.

Indeed, Lin Qinghua wants to buy Harley motorcycles and other national cycling trips. The whole family does not support it.

Lin Xiaoning certainly doesn’t support it.

It’s not that she doesn’t like motorcycles, but that it is too dangerous to ride a motorcycle!

In particular, Lin Qinghua was riding a motorcycle around the country. Lin Xiaoning didn’t know what she thought, why she had such strange thoughts…

Lin Xiaoning, a Harley motorcycle, also knows that it’s quite big, fast, and heavy. It’s hard to control even for boys, let alone girls.

Riding such a thing to travel around the country?

This is probably more difficult than Tang Seng Xitian learning the scriptures!

As for motorcycle accidents, examples are everywhere, and there is no need to search online.

Just ask you, in the 1980s, the first batch of motorcyclists in the country could live healthy and healthy with all hands and feet, how many!

“Since I’m not going to buy Harley, I’ll take you for a drive, and I happen to practice hands. I heard that an elevated road has just been opened, directly on the sea, and the scenery is beautiful. Let’s take a look.” Lin Xiaoning was interested. Said vigorously.

…………

On the other side, after Chen Hao arrived at the company, he received good news.

“President Shen! Just received a notice from Citigroup that Penguin has withdrawn from the competition and they will not buy Blue Hole!” Vice President Hu said beamingly.

Chen Hao was taken aback for a moment. What happened?

Didn’t this penguin just enter the competition? Why did it withdraw?

With the strength of the penguin, it won’t be impossible to even out hundreds of millions of dollars!

Chen Hao didn’t know that Penguin did have money, but they bought it to make money, not to fight with anyone…

Originally, Penguin acquired the Blue Hole just to buy a “future” and obtain the domestic agency rights of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.

Now that he is a competitor who does not consider costs, the cost of acquisition has risen sharply. After weighing it, Penguin is of course not interested.

Besides, there is now a new battle royale game emerging, and it seems that the upward trend is even more fierce than PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds!

The company behind that game is also stronger.

Spend the same money, can buy better “things”, of course Penguin changed the target.

Chen Hao doesn’t know what Penguin thinks, but he doesn’t care too much. Anyway, his main purpose is to spend at least 200 million US dollars to buy a company.

As for the future prospects of this company, it doesn’t matter…

Of course, if the prospects are good, then of course he will not refuse. In case the company loses money, it is actually not a big problem for him.

Anyway, the system can be upgraded…

So he said: “In this case, then notify Citigroup to speed up the acquisition! This matter is finalized as soon as possible.”

Vice President Hu nodded and said, “After the initial talks between Citi and Blue Hole, I will fly to Seoul and join the Citi team. By the way, President Shen, will you go there by then?”

With such a large acquisition, according to common sense, the boss Chen Hao must go.

The last check, signing, etc., requires his boss to be present.

Who knows, Chen Hao shook his head and said nonchalantly: “I won’t go, just authorize you to be a representative. These days… some friends come to Pengcheng, I’m relatively busy and can’t walk away.”

Vice President Hu reacted for a while and then nodded: “That’s okay, I will keep in touch with President Shen when the final negotiation is at that time, and communicate the latest developments at any time.”

She really couldn’t figure out what kind of friend it was that would be more important than an acquisition worth hundreds of millions of dollars!

Of course Chen Hao would not tell her that his girlfriend and sister-in-law are here…

………………

At the same time, Citi’s acquisition advisory team also began negotiations with Blue Hole again.

The news of Penguin’s withdrawal, the Blue Hole has just received the notice, and Zhang Guiyou’s face is dumbfounded.

He originally wanted to use the competition between Penguin and Lemon to raise the company’s valuation, but after only one contact, Penguin flinched?

Is it because this lemon mutual entertainment company is too strong, causing Penguins to be scared?

Or is it that Penguin is not optimistic about its own company at all, and thinks it is not worth spending a lot of money to buy it?

If it’s the first reason, it’s still acceptable. After all, even if you sell the company, then everyone hopes to be able to sell to a powerful company.

But for the second reason, things are a bit tricky.

Although Penguin’s reputation is not very good, its strength and vision are very strong in the global game industry.

Since Penguins are not optimistic about the blue hole, it means that there must be some fatal problems in the blue hole, which leads to the penguin’s not optimistic about the future development of the blue hole.

On the lemon mutual entertainment side, will it also lower the offer because of Penguin’s withdrawal…

Zhang Guiyou’s worry has really become a reality.

At the meeting with Citi’s acquisition team again, the representative of Citi’s first sentence after sitting down was: “Mr. Zhang, Penguin has withdrawn from the acquisition of your company. Do you know the reason?”

Zhang Guiyou was taken aback, but on the surface he replied calmly: “Oh, did you also receive the news? It is said that the board of directors of Penguin has objections and thinks that Penguin’s M&A steps have been too great in the past two years. Too many companies have been acquired.”

The representative of Citigroup smiled slightly and shook his head: “It’s not the reason! I also want to ask Mr. Zhang a question, that is, have you heard of the game “Fortnite”?”

What are you afraid of!Of course, Zhang Guiyou has heard of “Fortnite”, because this game is very similar to “PUBG Mobile”!

It can even be said that the two games are direct competitors.

What makes him even more troublesome is that this “Fortress Night”, currently, the momentum is much stronger than “PUBG Mobile”…

To tell the truth, in terms of technical capabilities, Blue Hole is not even better than EPIC.

After all, EPIC can produce the most famous Unreal Engine in the game industry!

This technical force can be said to be the top in the industry!

And the Blue Hole Company, before making “Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds”, was just a little-known stick company…

Therefore, the game “Fortress Night”, whether in terms of stability and diversity, has crushed “PUBG Mobile”.

Moreover, “Fortress Night” is more appetizing for European and American players, with a fast pace and many elements.

The game not only has a battle royale mode, but also includes PVE single-player content, as well as an online construction mode. You can build a house while shooting a gun, dare you believe it?

What’s even more outrageous is that the battle royale mode of “Fortress Night” is free…

This is a bit fatal.

Whether in Europe, America or Asia, free things are naturally more popular.

For similar game content, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds sells for US$20 or 30 in Europe and America, and RMB 98 in Asia, while “Fortress Night” is free.

How does this compete…

Recently, the reason why “Fortnite” has become popular is that it has faintly surpassed the momentum of “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds”. Free is also a major factor!

But “Fortress Night” is backed by the EPIC company and has a lot of money, so I dare to be free.

But the Blue Hole Company didn’t dare to play that way. Their company also hoped to make money by selling “PUBG Mobile”.

…………

His face was cloudy and uncertain. After a long time, Zhang Guiyou responded: “I have naturally heard of “Fortnite” and tried to play a few more. But I think that although the models seem to be similar, there are actually two models. The game is very different. Our Blue Hole PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds pursues a sense of reality, character models, firearms and vehicles models, including buildings, all strive to bring players a sense of reality and immersion. But “Fortress Night”, all All of the models are of the cartoon type, and the rhythm is too fast, and the operation requirements for the players are relatively high. It is not suitable for all players to play.”

He analyzes the differences between the two games from a technical level, and he is still very professional.

But the representatives of Citigroup don’t care about this. The capital side does not care whether your game is real or cartoon, they only look at the data!

Therefore, Citi’s negotiators did not hurriedly open a document and read out a few data.

“The beta version of “Absolute Survival” has been online for nearly four months, with more than 4 million copies sold, and sales revenue of about 80 million US dollars. The company’s actual income is less than 50 million US dollars. At present, the peak period of “Absolute Survival” online players It’s 600,000. And within one month of the launch of the beta version of Fortnite, the daily peak of online players is about 1.2 million! And this data has been rising, how does Mr. Zhang explain this?”

“That’s because “Fortnite” is free! If it also sells “PUBG Mobile” for the same price, I bet that its data is definitely not as beautiful as it is now!” Zhang Guiyou was a bit impatient and argued.

He heard it out, and the other party began to deliberately “find the difference” and wanted to lower the purchase price by belittling his company’s game prospects.

“But, your company doesn’t have enough strength to run PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds for free. Think about it, the same type of game, one free, one fee, how players will choose, this is not clear at a glance.” The representative of Citigroup didn’t panic. Spread his hands in a hurry, with a helpless expression.

“Then I can choose not to sell the shares.” Zhang Guiyou said unwillingly.

He wanted to show his attitude and tell the other party that if the purchase price is reasonable, then everything is easy to say.

But if you want to desperately keep the price down, I’m sorry, the big deal will fall apart, and it will not be sold!
