Chapter 128 [Negotiation (3/4)]

At around 16:34 pm local time, Luo Sheng officially proposed the acquisition with Ryan Blunt, who was interviewing.

"Sorry, Mr. Luo, I don't plan to sell the company." Ryan Blunt heard that Luo Sheng wanted to acquire his company, but he refused without thinking.

"I can understand why you resist so much." Luo Sheng said with a smile. He was not in a hurry at all. After a while, he added: "You are afraid that I am like Vivendi's media giants and media groups, and do not really want to promote the development of the game industry. Instead, I squeezed the value of the game company and then made a fortune and left, right?"

Ryan Blunt silently stared at the young face in front of him, who was much younger than him, and refused to respond. Although Luo Sheng was very young, he now represents a strong capitalist.

In Ryan's view, he is a feather with Vivendi.

Practitioners in the game industry are actually very repulsive of this type of capital and sometimes have to compromise on capital, because they really can't play without money.

Let’s talk about Take two’s subsidiary “R Star” and a 3A-level masterpiece like the “GTA” series, which often has development funds of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars. Once it fails in business, it will definitely be dragged down even by the parent company.

At the least, it will trigger a capital chain crisis, and at the worst, it will even cause a bankruptcy crisis even for companies.

You should know that there are more than one masterpiece under "R Star", such as the "Wild Big Prostitute" series. Once a capital chain crisis occurs, other projects will be dragged down. If they are not done well, they will be chain reactions.

At this time, if you face the pressure of capital, many seemingly powerful third-party game developers can't help but fight. Game companies have to introduce capital to help them. If you invite a plague god like Vivandi into your home, it will be a nightmare and can be called drinking poison to quench your thirst.

Blizzard Entertainment, which has made a lot of money now because of "World of Warcraft", sold itself to Vivendi Group in the early days, which directly led to the emergence of Blizzard in the North. Now it is still tortured by this "dad".

Bluestar Technology was only established for more than two years, but even so, it is still a huge monster in front of take-two.

You should know that Blue Star Technology is now comparable to Google by those in Silicon Valley, and Google's current market value has already sprinted towards $50 billion.

Seeing that Ryan Blunt was silent, Luo Sheng could not follow the silence and once again showed his unique skills in saying the truth.

"I am a hard-core player, and games are the ninth art. I don't have much less love for this art than you. I even know games better than most of you senior practitioners in the gaming industry, because I love games." Luo Sheng said as he stared at Ryan Blunt. The latter was slightly stunned for a moment, and then looked at the other person with a sceptical face.

It's really a ghost, I believe you.

Luo Sheng continued, regardless of whether he believed it or not: "Do you know why take-two is in trouble now? The subsidiary 'r-star' is a very important reason, but it is only one of the reasons, and it is not even the main reason. In my opinion, take-two is very chaotic. Look, it has 2k games, dassault systems, fous he interative, siemens plm software and rokstar games (Note: No reliable translation can be found)."

"It's as chaotic as a pot of paste. If I were the head of this company, I would immediately reorganize and integrate it, establish the 2k games brand, and then establish the 2k sports brand to focus on publishing sports competitive games, and establish the 2k play brand to focus on publishing small games, so as to distinguish the games released by Take-two's own brand resources from the 'r-star'."

When Ryan Blunt heard this, his face changed for a while, and he was even more vigilant. Before he had acquired it, he had already threatened to reorganize and integrate take-two.

He was instantly alert and Ryan was puzzled. What kind of negotiation routine was the other party?

However, after thinking carefully, Ryan Blunt suddenly realized that what Luo Sheng said seemed to be correct at all!

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

It tastes like Xiao He is defeated by Xiao He.

Luo Sheng is a detailed emperor. After observing carefully, he read some useful information when he saw some subtle affectionate changes in Ryan. He immediately struck while the iron was hot and said: "Mr. Blunt, even if you rejected the offer for this acquisition, I still hope you can consider my previous suggestions. Take-two is a great game company. I don't want it to decline or even fall. Whether it is the "Civilization" series or the "GTA" series, I am a loyal player. I am looking forward to the arrival of "GTA4" and even "GTA5". Now these words are communicated with you as a loyal game fan player of Take-two."

"This..." Ryan Blunt hesitated for a while, looking at the other party and wanted to speak but stopped.

The two sides looked at each other, Luo Sheng did not avoid any gaze. Looking at each other, his eyes were so sincere.

The previous remarks were so touching and inspired. This may be the biggest fan player of Take-two.

Qin Weimu was sitting quietly next to him, but she was muttering in her heart, especially after seeing the expression and mood of the founder of Take-two, she knew that the other party had unknowingly had fallen into Luo Sheng's strategy of playing hard to get.

This strategy of playing cards with a turn-on is sometimes really unsolvable.

After following him for a long time, Qin Weimu became increasingly suspicious whether this guy had such a trick to him. As soon as he spoke, no one could resist it so far.

"Your words really make me honored." Ryan Blunt laughed dryly for a while. Luo Sheng's words just now made him hesitate. After a moment, he suddenly added: "If you don't interfere with the operation of take-two, maybe we can accept investment from Blue Star Technology."

After all, he still couldn't resist Luo Sheng's "chat stream" offensive. It was too powerful. Wendell Wicks was the one before, and now Ryan Blunt has become more moved from his uncovered resistance.

Luo Sheng, who had been used to various big scenes in his previous life, heard Ryan Blunt's loose remarks and did not show too much emotional fluctuation. He only smiled indifferently and said, "Actually, if you don't make such a request, I won't interfere. I don't care what game you want to do, how to do it, and how much budget, because I don't have that much energy. If I complete the acquisition, it's just a merger of financial statements. In fact, if the negotiation is not successful this time, it can only be said that we have no fate."

Ryan Blunt was secretly excited when he heard this, and Luo Sheng continued: "If possible, I have only two conditions. Bluestar Technology wants to eat at least 55% of the equity of take-two and retain the right to issue take-two. We can specially agree on an option, and the exercise period can be set after three or five years."

After all, he still wanted to interfere with the company's operations. Ryan Blunt, who was gradually exploding in the small universe, finally calmed down a lot after hearing these words, but soon became more confused.

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

Upon hearing this, Luo Sheng said slowly: "Because... the competitors in my eyes are Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft, not any third party."

As soon as these words came out, Ryan Blunt caught a moment of confusion, and a thought that flashed through the air was immediately caught. He was stunned and stared at Luo Sheng blankly: "You... I bought it!! Do you want to develop a new game console? Blue Star Technology wants to be the first party?"

Ryan Blunt immediately recalled what he had just said and reviewed it in his mind.

It requires the right to retain the issuance, and it is explicitly stated that it will compete with companies such as Sony and Microsoft. These companies, especially Sony and Microsoft, have game business departments, and have their own brand game consoles, Sony's Ps, Microsoft's Xbox, etc.

Seeing Luo Sheng laughing but not speaking, without a response is equivalent to default.

Ryan Blunt, who came back to his senses, questioned even more and immediately said: "Mr. Luo, I have no malicious intentions. Your company is indeed a giant in the Internet industry. It can enter the game console business and cross-border. I don't think your company can compete with the ps host or xbox host."

Hearing this, Luo Shengzhixin said to himself: "Since the establishment of Blue Star Technology, it has been accompanied by doubts and negation throughout the journey, but so far, they have been slapped in the face, and I have been winning. Giving an exercise period agreement is to speak with strength."

Luo Sheng heard Ryan Blunt's concerns from this. He was afraid that after giving up the distribution rights, if Blue Star Technology uses take-two's works to force his game console to be exclusive, and if the hardware is too bad, it will become a funeral item.

But he didn't know that Blue Star Technology was impossible to make hardware, but the Costa delle could be authorized by Blue Star Technology.

"Then I will give another guarantee and make an additional special agreement. If the works under Take-two are exclusively released on my future hardware platform, and the sales volume cannot be recovered, they will be replaced by the full platform. You will be fully disposal. If the sales volume on other single platforms exceeds my platform. If the sales exceed the price, I will subsidize Take-two by one, a 3a masterpiece of $60 per set. If you sell one, I will subsidize $60, and if I sell one, I will subsidize $60, and if I have ten million sets, I will subsidize $60."

Luo Sheng said that as long as he acquires the company, he will only turn his left hand into his right hand.

As soon as the price adjustment was opened, Ryan Blunt was stunned when he heard this. He admitted that when Luo Sheng said this special agreement, he had completely defeated his defense with invincible US dollars.
