Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

   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 with great fanfare it wanted to occupy a piece of the game industry again.

   And his main battlefield is PC and other game console platforms, but Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is missing.

  Before, Take Yuxing rejected YOO's request for a shareholding, and then CEO Nagao Yu decided to establish a game department in person to fight against Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

His choice at that time was online games, but compared to the popular console games, the status of online games is not high, and he started from scratch and recruited some people with game development experience, but he didn't know how to do it. How to develop online games.

   So for a few years it was just making ends meet.

   Later, the video game was forgotten by Yu Nagao, the boss of YOO. It was not until recently that the game industry became more and more prosperous, and he had a new mind.

   And not long ago, YOO suddenly received a large amount of overseas financing.

  YOO's share price has also risen rapidly and has doubled several times.

   In fact, it is not only the stock price of this Internet company that has risen rapidly, but also the market value of all high-tech companies related to the Internet has soared.

   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 to have become the starting point of a crazy era, and all kinds of companies related to the Internet have become sweet and delicious.

   It's possible to turn it three or five times a day.

   Before that, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment was valued at more than $5 billion on Wall Street, which was the top sweet pastry, and the important thing was that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment was always profitable.

   However, because the number of Internet users began to expand rapidly, and people's demand for the Internet increased, the Internet has become something that more and more people are vying for.

   On the other hand, the valuation of Youxing Electronic Entertainment has not changed.

   After all, Youxing Electronic Entertainment has always regarded itself as a game entertainment company. It has almost no connection with the Internet. At most, it has increased network services, but everything is still dominated by games.

  In this world According to recent data, the number of Internet users has reached 1.5 billion.

  Although this is compared to the nearly 5 billion Internet users in Zhu Yuxing’s era, it still shocked the Wall Street community.

   With more than one billion Internet users, why should Internet companies make no money?

   It is precisely because of this that YOO, an Internet portal, has become the most dazzling enterprise in recent times.

  The valuation has risen, the stock price has soared, and the financing has been extremely smooth. Investors are waving their banknotes frantically to join the carnival.

  YOO's long-tailed rain also drifted away.

  Not long after he acquired a number of game companies, he made another invitation to Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

  YOO is willing to buy Downstar Electronic Entertainment for $10 billion.

   Now that you are very rich, why don’t you, a small game company with a valuation of several billion dollars, hurry up and lick it? And what I gave was all cash. As the absolute real power controller of 90% of the shares, Zhu Youxing was the one who could decide the fate of the company.

   As long as Zhuyouxing nods, 10 billion dollars will be directly received.

   And this time Nagao Yu's invitation was very high-profile, and he bought a large section in several newspapers and magazines to announce that he was going to acquire Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

   Last time I just wanted to buy a share, but this time I want to buy it directly when I have money? Sure enough, money is really easy to be completely lost.

   Youxing Electronic Entertainment has never been listed, so there is no need to disclose his data to any media and investigative agencies. As long as he does not evade taxes, then even if he blows up his own headquarters, no one will care, unless there is a fatality.

   Up to now, the outside world's valuation and reserve funds of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment are only an estimate.

   They had no idea that Zhuyou Xingguang now has more than three billion deposits in the bank.

   If it weren't for the development of new consoles and expansion of the team, there should be more money in reserve now.

   Not to mention how much money Zhuyouxing can earn from the first-party game, you can make a lot of money just from the royalties from the third-party login to your own platform.

   And Zhu Yuxing is also very concerned about deposits.

   Now I want to buy my own company with tens of billions, I really think too much.

   How can a company with such earning power be acquired for tens of billions of dollars.

  YOO is obviously rich and starts to float.

   However, this is a bit outrageous, even if it is rich, so dare to threaten a wholly-owned acquisition? The company doesn't seem to be making that much profit.

   Zhu Yuxing suddenly felt as if there was an inexplicable sense of sight.

   But I can't remember what happened for a while.

   But video games are indeed a promising industry, and the other party is eager to seize this opportunity.

   It didn't take long for a call from YOO to reach Zhu Yuxing.

Yu Nagao, the boss of YOO, talked very earnestly about the acquisition with Zhu Yuxing on the phone, and if Zhu Yuxing was willing, he could guarantee that in addition to the acquisition amount of 10 billion, he would also give Zhu Yuxing and the others YOO Equity in the company worth approximately $1 billion.

   "President Zhuyou, this is a very cost-effective acquisition. We can say that we are sincere. As long as you nod your head, cash will be credited into your account, and you won't lose a single cent. How about it?"

   "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 user bases, isn't it good? And we will continue to expand in the future, now we have There are a number of investment companies that are ready to talk to us about new financing, which 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 buy it, I'm afraid it would have been sold long ago, and I won't wait until now."

"...Well, President Zhuyou, let's find a place to 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 invest in my shares, and I also in your company, so we can develop together."

   "No, now your company's stock price is too high, I don't think it's very reliable, there is always something that will happen at any time..."

   Zhu Yuxing was talking, and suddenly it seemed like a flash of inspiration.

   That's right, I had a sense of sight before.

   Isn't this the bubble that was blown up again?

  The Internet has become a favorite for many people, but this thing has not yet made much profit. It is completely based on burning money and burning money to continue to expand, so how long can it burn? How long can it last?

   No one can know this.

   But Zhu Yuxing remembered the most violent Internet bubble in his previous life around 2000.

   When he was a child at that time, of course he didn't pay attention to this kind of thing. He only got a little bit of understanding when he looked back on the past when he worked on the Internet.

   And now these Internet companies feel like they are blowing bubbles.
