Chapter 882
"Mr. Li, Mr. Wu, what are you doing with your luggage? Is this leaving? Is it because we are not entertained?"
In a high-end hotel in Seoul, a 30-year-old Korean man hurriedly stopped in the hallway. His eyebrows were a little panicked. A pair of worried little eyes kept spinning on Li Yaozu, Wu Yimin and other members of the acquisition team.
He received the check-out message from the hotel, and he rushed from the company non-stop, eager to figure out the authenticity of the matter.
If the acquisition team really leaves, he needs to do everything possible to keep it, because this is the task assigned to him above.
The general strategy of the president is also clear, that is, he hopes that the four Chinese companies will bid against each other in an attempt to sell Neople at a good price.
The acquirer formed by Envision Capital and Hainei.com was the first to contact their company. It had strong capital and was also the most important potential buyer. If it left like this, he would not be able to explain to the president.
"Cui, executives, start-up companies pay attention to efficiency, time is money, we have been in contact with you, it has been more than half a month, but the acquisition has not been a substantial breakthrough."
Li Yaozu shrugged and said in a very regretful tone: "I'm very sorry, we are going to give up this acquisition! Thank you very much for your company's hospitality. When your company comes to China in the future, we will definitely treat you warmly.
Now we are leaving, please don’t block our way. "
What Li Yaozu said so straightforwardly made Mr. Cui completely panic. The latter reluctantly settled down and asked: "Mr. Li, are you really going to abandon this acquisition? You have done so much preliminary work, not in vain. Yet?"
"But Mr. Xia was very dissatisfied with the progress of this work and severely reprimanded us. At the same time, Mr. Xia questioned your sincerity, thinking that you have no intention to sell the company at all."
Li Yaozu’s expression was serious, and his tone of voice was full of indignation. This is not a complete hypocrisy, because the Koreans’ behaviors really make him very upset. This opportunity is just to vent some of his unhappiness.
"No no, we definitely have the intention to sell the company, please rest assured Mr. Li."
Li Yaozu was too lazy to listen to the explanation of the Korean man in front of him, waved his hand, “No need to say more, here today, let’s take a shot and break up!
Please contact the other three companies. They will definitely play games with you. Envision Capital, as a tens of billions of dollars in asset management, has many projects waiting to be processed. "
After finishing speaking, Li Yaozu dragged the suitcase and led a mighty group of people around Mr. Cui and walked to the elevator.
Supervisor Cui had no time to think more, so he hurried to catch up and said out of breath: "Please wait a few minutes for me. I will immediately feed back your comments to our president."
Li Yaozu glanced at Wu Yimin, his silent deputy, who nodded lightly.
Then the acquisition team and a group of people waited at the elevator entrance. Mr. Cui ran to the corner to make a phone call without knowing which corner.
"Old Wu, what do you think?" After being together for nearly a month, Li Yaozu and Wu Yimin have become familiar with each other a lot, and their titles are relatively casual.
Wu Yimin sneered and glanced in the corridor, “I really made Mr. Xia right. You can’t get used to these sticks. They belong to the dyeing workshop for some paint.”
Li Yaozu chuckled, watching the performance of this executive Cui, he knew that things were half done, indicating that the sticks actually still attach great importance to their acquisition team.
After a while, Mr. Cui ran back in a hurry and said, "Our president hopes to meet you."
Seeing that Li and Wu did not say anything, Mr. Cui hurriedly added another sentence: “It’s about the acquisition. I will give you a clear answer today.”
Li Yaozu and Wu Yimin took the car to Jian Cong and took no one else. They went to Neople with Mr. Cui.
As soon as they got there, the two had a showdown directly with Neople CEO Xu Min, with a very tough attitude and a little impatience.
"President Xu, I won’t say anything extra. If you still have the same remarks, let us wait, then we don’t need to talk about it, and we don’t bother to change the ticket."
Xu Min can’t understand Chinese. While listening to Mr. Cui’s translation, he looks at the expressions of Li and Wu. He already has a judgment in his heart.
"Talk, talk tomorrow. You and Shanda, Penguin, and Ninetowns will talk together. Since you have decided to sell the company, I naturally hope to get the most ideal transaction price. I hope the two gentlemen will understand."
After talking, Xu Min waited for Chief Cui to translate to the two, while observing their expressions.
"We need to ask Mr. Xia for instructions!"
After getting consent, Li Yaozu and Wu Yimin went to the vacant conference room next door to call.
After a while, the two returned.
Li Yaozu said: “After talking for so long and consuming so much energy, we don’t want to give up easily. We can talk again, but we must get a result tomorrow.”
Xu Min nodded while listening to the translation. It seems that his judgment was not wrong. In fact, this Chinese company still values their company very much.
This makes him feel a little proud, and tomorrow he can sit and watch the four Chinese companies fighting each other.
To be honest, only the Chinese are willing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to acquire their company. The consortium and game industry in South Korea have not quoted them, but they are far from the Chinese company.
"In order to prevent the occurrence of wrangling, President Xia specially ordered that the bidding of the four parties is possible tomorrow, but the relevant agreement must be signed, and the parties must pay a deposit of 20 million US dollars, which will be supervised by a third party, and will be returned after the bidding ends."
Xu Min looked at Li Yaozu puzzledly, and asked, “What does this mean? Prevent other companies from bidding randomly and not paying in the end?”
Li Yaozu nodded, "Yes, if they are unwilling to pay this performance bond, what does it mean? It shows that they are not sincere.
This is actually beneficial to Neople, as it can identify who is really interested in acquiring. "
Xu Min thought for a while and nodded that he could adopt it.
On the same day, Penguin, Shanda, and Ninetowns all received the news from Neople, signed an agreement, paid a deposit of 20 million US dollars, and then four Chinese companies will bid in the same field tomorrow.
After learning the news, Tang Jun and Zhu Jun did not dare to neglect, and came to the hotel where Liu Zhiping was staying together, ready to discuss an explanation.
"Mr. Liu, what do you say now? Penguin helped us with the 20 million dollars? Or what?" Zhu Jun asked casually.
"What do you mean? Penguin? Mr. Zhu, are you kidding me!" Liu Zhiping shook his head repeatedly, feeling very absurd in his heart.
Zhu Jun smiled and said, "You penguins initiated the alliance with our two families? You came to Korea together, did you make it?
At that time, you said that the domestic network is rising fast and threatening, and our three companies are interested in acting for the DNF. It is better to work together to squeeze out the domestic network, and then the three of us will compete for the agency rights of the DNF.
We did it according to your plan!
But, now, the domestic network has not been crowded out, and the bidding will be together tomorrow. How do we reply to Neople? You have to give an explanation! "
Liu Zhiping also feels a headache now. He originally planned to make a round and force the domestic net.
But he seemed to underestimate the determination of Hai Nei.com, and the other party set out to fight them.
"Otherwise, we should pay the 20 million U.S. dollars. Tomorrow, everyone will lift the sedan chair to Hainei.com?" Liu Zhiping asked tentatively.
Tang Jun shook his head, "I don't have the authority. The task that Mr. Chen gave me is to cooperate with you and see if I can win the DNF agency rights, so that the acquisition plan of Hainei.com will be aborted."
Zhu Jun sneered, "I understand what you mean, Mr. Liu, but if the game is broken, at least 500 million US dollars, who will pay? Even if the acquisition is finally abandoned, the 20 million US dollars security deposit will not be returned."
Liu Zhiping was annoyed, and it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. If Penguin's capital was strong, he would just go out and win the net.
Now the two allies have retreated, the Penguin family is unable to support it alone, and they dare not add 20 million dollars to the domestic network.
"Think about it, how long has the Haineti game department been born, and it has launched three casual games that have been popular all over the Internet. Now they are starting to play online games again, and the shots are hundreds of millions of dollars. The determination is not small!
If we let it go, in the future, the domestic network will become a big trouble for you and me. "
Zhu Jun smiled and said: "Mr. Liu, I think your penguins have similar problems, and the game is not that easy to do."
"The game market is so big. If Hainei.com wins one more piece, we will lose one piece. Moreover, DNF is a very good game. It is enough for Hainei.com to gain a foothold in the online game field and use it as a springboard in the future to subvert the domestic game market.
Your two companies are ranked among the best in the domestic game market and bear the brunt! "
Hearing Liu Zhiping said this, Zhu Jun gradually reduced his smile on his face and sighed, "These are all things to catch the wind and shadows, all I want is DNF's agency rights, and the possibility of getting it now is unlikely. We can only quit."
Tang Jun nodded, "Yes, it is impossible for Hainet to subvert whoever subverts. Mr. Liu, you are too alarmist. We actually know the bitterness between Penguin and Hainet, and we understand some of your thoughts.
But, don’t do things now, don’t hold on to it! "
