Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 423 To be acquired?
Chapter 423: To be acquired?
Just as Suri Electronics and Morgan Group were competing for the market, in Japan, the online portal company YOO suddenly announced that it had acquired a number of game companies, and then made great fanfare to occupy a territory in the game industry again.
His main battlefield is PC and other game console platforms, except for Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
Previously, Zhuyusei rejected YOO's request for investment, and then CEO Nagao Yu decided to personally establish a game department to compete with Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.
His choice at the time was online games, but compared to the popular console games nowadays, online games have a low status. Moreover, he started from scratch and recruited some people with game development experience, but they did not know how to do it. How to develop online games.
So for a few years, we have just maintained a balance of payments.
Later, the matter of video games was forgotten by YOO’s boss Nagao Yu. It was not until the game industry became more and more prosperous recently that he started to think about it again.
And just recently, YOO suddenly received a large amount of overseas financing.
YOO’s stock price has also risen rapidly, rising several times.
In fact, it is not just the share price of this Internet company that has risen rapidly. The market value of all high-tech companies related to the Internet has also increased significantly as a result.
Among them, FACEBOOK has soared to more than 50 billion US dollars, becoming the most prosperous social media network company.
At this moment, it seems that it has become the starting point of a crazy era, and various companies related to the Internet have become popular.
It is possible for the market to double three to five times a day.
Before this, Youxing Electronic Entertainment was the most popular company on Wall Street with a valuation of more than 5 billion US dollars, and the important thing is that Youxing Electronic Entertainment has always been profitable.
But because the number of Internet users began to expand rapidly and people had more and more demands for the Internet, the Internet became something that more and more people were chasing after.
The valuation of Youxing Electronic Entertainment has never changed.
After all, Youxing Electronic Entertainment has always regarded itself as a game entertainment company. It has almost nothing to do with the Internet. At most, it has added network services, but everything is still focused on games.
In this world, according to recent data, the number of Internet users has reached 1.5 billion.
Although this is compared with the nearly 5 billion Internet users in Zhu Youxing's era, this still shocked the Wall Street community.
With more than one billion Internet users, why should Internet companies worry about not making money?
It is precisely because of this that Internet portals like YOO have become the most dazzling companies in recent times.
Valuations are rising, stock prices are soaring, financing is extremely smooth, and investors are waving their money crazily to join the carnival.
YOO's long tail rain also followed.
Not long after he acquired a number of game companies, he once again extended an invitation to Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
YOO is willing to buy Yuxing Electronic Entertainment for US$10 billion.
Now that I am very rich, why don't you, a small game company with a valuation of several billion dollars, hurry up and take advantage of it? And everything I gave was in cash. As the absolute real power controller of 90% of the shares, Zhu Youxing is the one who can decide the fate of the company.
As long as Zhu Youxing nods, 10 billion US dollars will be obtained directly.
And this time Changweiyu’s invitation was very high-profile. He directly bought a large section in several newspapers and magazines and announced that he was planning to acquire Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
Last time, I just wanted to invest in shares. Now that I have money, I want to make a direct acquisition this time? Sure enough, money can really make people completely lost.
Yuxing Electronic Entertainment has never been listed on the market, so there is no need to disclose its data to any media or investigative agencies. As long as he does not evade taxes, no one will care about him even if he blows up his headquarters, unless someone is killed.
Up to now, the valuation and reserve funds of Youxing Electronic Entertainment are only estimates.
They had no idea that Zhuyouxing’s deposits in the bank alone now totaled more than 3 billion.
Had it not been for the development of new game consoles and expansion of the team, the money saved by now would be even more.
Let’s not talk about how much money the first-party game Zhuyouxing can make. It can make a lot of money just from the royalties from third-party logins to its own platform.
Moreover, Zhu Youxing is also very concerned about deposits.
Now if you want to spend tens of billions to buy your own company, you really think too much.
How can a company with such profitability be acquired for tens of billions of dollars?
YOO obviously started to make money.
However, this is too rich and outrageous, so you dare to threaten a wholly-owned acquisition? It seems that this company is not that profitable.
Zhu Youxing suddenly felt as if he had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.
But for a while I couldn’t remember what was going on.
However, video games are indeed an industry with great potential, and the other party is eager to seize this opportunity.
Not long after, a call from YOO came to Zhu Youxing.
The boss of YOO, Nagao Yu, was very sincere on the phone to discuss the acquisition with Zhuyusing, and if Zhuyusing was willing, he could guarantee that in addition to the acquisition amount of 10 billion, he would also give Zhuyusing and the others YOO The company is worth about a billion dollars in equity.
“President Zhuyou, this is a very cost-effective acquisition. We can say that we are sincere. As long as you nod, the cash will be transferred into your account, not a penny less, how about it?”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Nagao, I have no intention of doing this.”
"President Zhuyou, don't refuse so simply. Now we have the widest user base. As long as you join us, we can share all the user groups. Isn't this good? And we will continue to expand in the future. Now we have There are many investment companies ready to discuss new financing with us, and it will definitely be bigger and stronger in the future."
Zhu Youxing still shook his head and said, "No, I'm not interested. If I really wanted someone to acquire it, I would have sold it long ago and wouldn't have waited until now."
"...Let's do this, President Zhuyou, let's find a place to have a good talk, or I'll ask my people to go to your company to negotiate in person. All of this can be discussed slowly. In fact, if you don't want to be acquired, We can also talk about investing in shares. You buy my shares, and I also buy shares in your company, so we can develop together."
“No, your company’s stock price is too high now. I don’t think it’s very reliable. There’s always something going on..."
As Zhu Youxing was talking, he suddenly seemed to have a flash of inspiration.
By the way, I had a sense of déjà vu before.
Isn’t this just another bubble being blown up?
The Internet has become a hot topic for many people. However, this thing has not yet made much profit. It relies entirely on burning money to expand. So how long can it last? How long can it last?
No one can know this.
But Zhu Youxing remembered the most violent Internet bubble in his previous life around 2000.
At that time, he was still a child, so of course he would not pay attention to such things. He only learned a little bit about it later when he looked back on the past when he was working in the Internet industry.
Now these Internet companies feel like they are blowing bubbles.
