My Animation Era

  Chapter 147 Wanbao Game (for subscription)

   "Definitely kill! Climb the dragon sword!"

   This line has become the favorite mantra of the children this summer.

   with…

  The same model of the animation "Dragon Fighter" is selling very well. In terms of toy sales, it is not inferior to the two models of "Dragon God" and "Dragon King".

  The influence is still spreading!

  Dragon Fighter may not be the animation work with the highest ratings under Wanbao, but it is definitely the most popular work among boys.

   This level of love is even more exaggerated than the original "Lei Sudeng Lightning Crossing the Line".

  In the words of a well-known animation blogger [I am a scumbag]:

   "Lei Sudeng is very popular, but after watching it, everyone only remembers all kinds of remote control cars. But "Dragon Fighter" is different. The Dragon God is cool and handsome, but Xiao Du and his partners are also unforgettable..."

   Hex Warrior is overrated.

  But it is undeniable that whether it is character creation, plot development, or the design of the main demon god, the animation "Dragon Fighter" has done a good job.

  The brave and reliable Xiaodu and the domineering Dragon God, the funny and humorous master Shibalagu and the occasionally lost chain Ares, the lively and lovely Simig...

   Even if the animation is not like "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" and "Pigman", it has achieved amazing results in ratings.

   But in the eyes of the audience, especially boys.

   "Dragon Fighter" is undoubtedly the best animation they have seen this year, not even one of them! If the full score is ten, they are even willing to give eleven points!

   But there is one regrettable thing.

   Such a good-looking animation, there are only 45 episodes? Since the first season of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" ended, why has Uncle Gu's length become shorter and shorter?

   "You are short, your whole family is short!"

   Facing the audience's doubts, Gu Miao became annoyed and said, "It's not my fault that there are fewer animation episodes, let alone 45 episodes, isn't it too short?"

   Haven’t seen Neon anime, have you?

  If this is considered short, then for those animations with only 12 episodes in a season, wouldn’t the supervision have to be dragged out and shot for five minutes?

   "But you did get shorter."

  Ma Kui counted with his fingers: "Pigman and Sheep and Goat Games, let's not talk about animations that are not supervised by you."

   "530 episodes of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, 50 episodes of Lei Sudeng Lightning Crossing the Line, 45 episodes of Dragon Fighter..."

right!

   There is also a "Sailor Moon" that is sandwiched between Lei Sudeng and Dragon Fighter, which has not been broadcast yet. The total episodes are about 45-50 episodes.

  The audience was really right.

  Anyone who is not blind can tell that Gu Miao has released animation works since last year, and the number of episodes is getting smaller and smaller.

"you shut up!"

  Gu Miao glanced at Ma Kui angrily, and couldn't help but ask, "I'm not short, do I need you to remind me? How are you doing what I asked you to do?"

   "It's okay, it's going well."

   "Selected by Seto, the comrade code-named Wasp has initially contacted the president of the game company."

   Speaking of business, Ma Kui said with a serious face: "From the tone of the first contact, he is not very happy to be acquired."

   makes sense.

  As the founder of a company, the company is in good condition and life is very nourishing. Who would want to sell the company when they have nothing to do?

   Unless it is an undeniable sky-high price!

  But Gu Miao has calculated that the company that launched the game "Elf Trainer" is valued at about 200-300 million yen, or around 10-15 million RMB.

  This is normal valuation.

   Negotiating an acquisition at this price, others will definitely disagree. If you want to win the other party, start with a premium of at least 20%.

  20% depends on the situation.

  The founder has the idea of ​​cashing out and running away, so it can basically be negotiated. But if the founder has no idea of ​​cashing out, the premium ratio may be higher.

   Gu Miao's bottom line is a 100% premium!

   That is to give double the valuation, as long as they are willing to sell, Wanbao can take over immediately with money, and keep the original game development team by the way.

   Of course, the bottom line is the bottom line.

  During the initial contact, the attitude Gu Miao conveyed to the other party was just the acquisition "according to market valuation".

   Obviously, the other party refused to accept it.

   "Second contact was unexpected."

   Ma Kui said with a smile: "When Comrade Wasp revealed to him that we are a multinational company that hopes to make a big splash in the game industry, he became interested."

  Multinational corporations?

   Looking to make a big splash in the gaming industry?

  Gu Miao couldn't hold back, she laughed and said, "And then? What did he say?"

   "His attitude has softened a bit, probably because he feels that being close to a big company is beneficial to the company's development, so he is willing to sell some shares to us."

   Part of the equity is useless!

   What Gu Miao wants is not a "shareholder" status, what he wants is "Elf Trainer" and the game development team.

  “When we contacted for the third time, we raised the quotation, but he had some objections to the price and thought it was too low!”

  Ma Kui smiled and said: "He still wants to lie to us, saying that another company also wants to buy shares in them, and the price they give is extremely high..."

clever!

  If Comrade Wasp hadn't been clever and quick-witted, and had investigated in advance, he might have been fooled.

   But since Wanbao has already investigated, it will definitely not be easily fooled.

   Comrade Wasp immediately said: "Brother! Since someone values ​​you so much, then you should agree to him! Don't consider my feelings, I don't mind..."

   Negotiations were immediately suspended.

   After about three or four days, the other party couldn't hold back anymore, and asked Comrade Wasp to go out for a drink again, revealing his approximate bottom line.

   "To keep the management, we can't lay off employees easily, leave him about 10% of the shares for retirement, and the premium ratio must reach 50%?"

  After listening to this request, Gu Miao couldn't help frowning and said, "The layoffs and management's request are easy to talk about. I know the tradition of Nihong, but what does it mean for him to keep 10% of the shares for retirement?"

   "It's very simple, he still wants to stay and play games."

  Ma Kui explained: "The founder of this company, as far as I know, is a person who loves game development."

   "Then this..."

  Gu Miao pondered and said: "Reserve 1% of the shares for him that will not be diluted, and use it as a symbol. Let's go to the head office now?"

Can!

   This is the reply sent back by Comrade Wasp after receiving instructions from the headquarters to start the fifth round of negotiations with the president.

  The other party accepted the treaty.

  But the purchase price also reached an unprecedented 346.5 million yen, equivalent to nearly 18 million yuan.

  Gu Miao reluctantly signed the agreement, and then took the foreign exchange channel from the bank to complete this cross-border, cross-industry acquisition.

  In the end, this neon game developer named "スプライトゲーム" changed its name to "Elf" studio.

  Wanbao Computer Technology Co., Ltd., registered in Jiangchuan, referred to as Wanbao Game, has completed the controlling acquisition of the "Elf" studio, and the studio has moved to Jiangchuan.

it is a pity that…

  In the development team of about 40 people, only half of them were willing to work in Jiangchuan in the end, and the remaining half chose to leave with "severance pay".

   Spring Finals, TES come on!
