Chapter 128： [Negotiations (3/4)]

左右 Around 16:34 pm local time, Luo Sheng officially proposed an acquisition intention with the interviewed Ryan Blunt.

"Sorry, Mr. Luo, I didn't intend to sell the company." Ryan Blunt heard that Luo Sheng wanted to buy his company, but didn't want to directly reject it.

"I can understand why you are so resistant." Luo Sheng said with a smile. He was in no hurry, adding after a while: "You are afraid that I am like the media giants of Vivendi and do not really want To promote the development of the game industry, but to squeeze out the value of game companies after a crazy squeeze, right? "

Ryan Bronte silently stared at the young man who was much younger than him and refused to respond. Although Luo Sheng was young, he now represented a strong capitalist.

瑞 In Ryan's view, Vivendi is the same.

Practitioners in the gaming industry are actually very resistant to this type of capital and sometimes have to compromise with capital because it is really impossible to play without money.

For example, TakeTwo's subsidiary "R Star" and 3A-level masterpieces such as the "GTA" series are tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in development funds. Once they fail in business, they will definitely be dragged down by the parent company. .

Miscellaneous causes a crisis in the capital chain, and in most cases, the company has a crisis of bankruptcy.

I want to know that there are more than one masterpiece under "R Star" alone. For example, there is also a series of "The Wilderness". Once the crisis of the capital chain occurs, other projects will be dragged down, or it will be a chain reaction.

At this time, if faced with capital pressure, many seemingly powerful third-party game developers ca n’t help but the game company has to introduce capital to save lives. If you invite a plague **** like Vivendi to enter the house, it is simply a nightmare. Said to drink thirst to quench thirst.

Now Blizzard Entertainment, which is earning a lot of money for World of Warcraft, was sold to the Vivendi Group in the early days, which directly caused Blizzard to walk out of the north, and is still alive and abused by this "daddy".

Bluestar Technology has only been established for more than two years, but even so, it is still a behemoth in front of Take-Two.

You have to know that the current Bluestar technology is held by the people in Silicon Valley to compare with Google, and Google's current market value has sprinted towards 50 billion US dollars.

Seeing that Ryan Blount was silent, Luo Sheng could not follow the silence, and once again exerted his skill in speaking (hu) and you (ren).

"I am a **** player, and the game is the ninth art. My love for this art is not much less than you. I even know the game better than most of the senior players in the game industry, because I love games." Luo Sheng stared at Ryan Blunt and said that the latter froze for a moment, then looked at the other with suspicion.

I really see a ghost, I believe you a ghost.

Luo Sheng, believe it or not, continued: "Do you know why Take-Two is in trouble right now? The subsidiary 'R Star' is an important reason, but it is only one of the reasons, not even the main reason. In my opinion Come inside Take-Two, it ’s very confusing. Take a look. It has 2KGames, DassaultSystemes, FocusHomeInteractive, SiemensPLMSoftware, and RockstarGames (note: no reliable translation can be found). "

"It's as messy as a pot of paste. If I am the head of this company, I will immediately reorganize and integrate it to establish the 2kGames brand, and then the 2KSports brand to focus on sports sports games and the 2K brand to focus on Publish mini-games to differentiate Take-Two's own-brand resources from games released by 'R Star'. "

Ryan Blount can't help but change his face as soon as he hears his face, and he is even more vigilant. Before this acquisition, he has threatened to carry out a radical reorganization and integration of Take-Two.

The vigilance was full at an instant, and Ryan was puzzled. What kind of negotiation routine was the other party?

However, after thinking about it again, Ryan Blunt realized that Luo Sheng was right!

"R Star" is undoubtedly the most dazzling existence of Take-Two at present, but it is precisely because of this that Take-Two is confused.

I have a taste of Xiao He defeated Xiao He.

Luo Sheng is an emperor of details. He observed carefully and saw some subtle affectionate changes of Ryan also read out some useful information. He immediately struck the iron while hot: "Mr. Blount, even if you reject the offer, I still hope Can you think about my previous suggestion, Take-Two is a great game company, I do n’t want it to go down or even fall. Whether it ’s the “Civilization” series or the “GTA” series, I am a loyal player, I ’m looking forward to With the arrival of "GTA4" and even "GTA5", now these words are what I think as a loyal fan of Take-Two to communicate with you. "

"This ..." Ryan Blunt hesitated for a while, watching the other person stop talking.

The two sides looked at each other, Luo Sheng did not evade his gaze and looked at each other, not to mention how sincere his eyes were.

The remarks made by the previous party were so emotional and inspiring that they were touched and encouraged. This may be the biggest fan player of Take-Two.

Qin Weimu was sitting quietly next to her, but she was muttering, especially after seeing the expressions and mood changes of Take-Two's founder, she knew that the other party had already lost Luo Sheng's desire to escape. Of the policy.

This strategy of turning cards over is sometimes very unsolvable.

I have been with him for a long time, and Qin Weimu is also increasingly doubting whether this guy is coming to himself like this? As long as he spoke, no one had managed to fight it so far.

"I'm really honored by your remarks." Ryan Blunt laughed for a while. Luo Sheng's words just made him rather embarrassed. After a while he suddenly added: "If you don't interfere with the operation of Take-Two , Maybe we can accept Bluestar's investment. "

After all, he did not resist Luo Sheng's "chat flow" offensive. It was too powerful. There was Wendel Wickers before, and now Ron Blunt also moved unwillingly to resist it.

Luo Sheng, who has been accustomed to all kinds of big scenes in previous lives, heard the loose remarks of Ryan Blount at the moment, but did not show much emotional fluctuations. I saw he smiled lightly: "Actually, you do n’t propose this I will not interfere with the requirements. I will not care what games Take-Two does, how to do it, and the budget. I do n’t care because I do n’t have that much energy. If I complete the acquisition, I will only consolidate the financial statements. In fact, this talk is not successful. It can only be said that we have no fate. "

Upon hearing this, Ryan Blunt was secretly excited, and Luo Sheng went on to say: "If I can, I only have two conditions. Bluestar Technology will eat at least 55% of Take-Two's equity and retain Take-Two. We can specifically agree on an option to issue an option, and the exercise period can be set at three years or five years later. "

In the end, he still wanted to interfere in the company's operations. After hearing the words, Ryan Blount, who had gradually erupted in the universe, calmed down a lot, but quickly became confused.

"I don't understand, Mr. Luo, why do you have such a strange special request?"

I heard that Luo Sheng slowly said: "Because ... my competitors in the eyes are Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft, not any third party."

As soon as this word came out, Ryan Blount caught a moment, and the idea that flashed over was caught immediately, and the whole person was suddenly stunned, staring at Luo Sheng: "You ... even buy Karma !! Would you like to develop a new game console? Is Bluestar the first party? "

Ryan Blount immediately recalled what he had just said, and reexamined it in his mind.

Requires the right to maintain distribution, and also expressly wants to compete with Sony and Microsoft. These companies, especially Sony and Microsoft, all have game business units, and all have their own branded game consoles, Sony's PS, Microsoft's xbox, etc. Wait.

Seeing Luo Sheng laugh and say nothing, no response is equivalent to the default.

Ryan Blunt, who had returned to God, even more doubted, and said immediately: "Mr. Luo, I am not malicious. Your company is indeed a giant in the Internet industry and can enter the game console business. Think your company can compete with PS or Xbox consoles. "

After hearing the words, Luo Shengxin said to himself: "Since the creation of Blue Star Technology, this journey has been accompanied by doubts and denials, but so far they have been beaten, and I have been winning To give an exercise period is to speak with strength. "

Luo Sheng heard the worry of Ryan Blunt from this. He was afraid that after giving up the distribution rights, if Blue Star Technology took the works under Take-Two and forced to make his game console exclusive, if the hardware was too bad , That would be reduced to a funeral.

I just don't know that Bluestar Technology is impossible to do hardware, but the Blue Coast, which can be authorized by Bluestar Technology.

"Then I will give another guarantee and make an additional special agreement. If the works of Take-Two are released exclusively on my future hardware platform, the sales cannot be recovered, and the cost will be changed to the full platform release, which is at your sole disposal, and Sales on other single platforms exceeded my platform. For the part that exceeded, I subsidized Take-Two on a one-to-one basis, a 3A masterpiece for $ 60 a set ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Selling a set I subsidized 60 U.S. dollars, 10 million sets I subsidize 600 million U.S. dollars. "

Luo Luosheng said, as long as the company is acquired, it is also left-handed and right-handed.

一 As soon as the price adjustment came out, Ryan Blunt was stupid when he heard it. He admitted that when Luo Sheng said this additional special agreement, he had completely defeated his defense with an invincible dollar bill.

Ryan Blount really can't think of any reason for rejection, especially when Take-Two is in trouble at the moment, once he holds the thigh of Blue Star Technology and leans against a large company. "R-Star" is now in trouble for Bluestar Technology. Ryan Blunt also knows Bluestar's strong legal team. It is said that 35% of the employees in North America are legal persons.

It has supported more than 700 professional legal persons and is still expanding. It specializes in handling some legal disputes, more than all the employees of Take-Two.

And this is just the legal team that Bluestar North America maintains a lawsuit.

Such a luxurious legal team lineup can be called the "Disney" in the Internet world. It is no exaggeration to say that the "R star" is now in trouble. Once the legal team of Blue Star Technology comes forward, it can be easily leveled.

Luo Sheng raises so many legal people in the foreseeable future. For Europeans and Americans, especially the North American authorities, he is an outsider. All kinds of trouble-seeking things will surely be more and more with the development and development of Blue Star Technology. The bigger the situation, Luo Sheng had already been prepared for this, and he was even ready to bring a lawsuit with the North American authorities.

Ryan Blunt no doubt again, and asked the last question about money: "Mr. Luo, at what price is your company going to buy a 55% equity?"

Uh ...
