Chapter 1497 Offered a Special Position at Tenda!

Tenda doesn't lack money, but it can't come up with that much money in a hurry.

After all, that's a billion dollars.

Of course, installment payments are also possible. Many acquisitions are done in installments.

Pei Qian happened to have tens of millions that he couldn't spend, so he used it all as a deposit for the Dayak Group, which perfectly achieved the loss for this cycle.

Moreover, this large sum of money can greatly alleviate the pressure of losses in future cycles.

Completing the acquisition negotiations at this juncture is simply perfect!

Pei Qian felt that he should thank himself for this next cycle.

See, I'm not just here to cause trouble, I've also learned to spend in advance!

Tenda's various industries will continue to make money, but it doesn't matter. With this huge opening, it should be much easier to spend money on a sudden before future settlements.

Although Pei Qian didn't ask in detail, the acquisition team quickly sent over a detailed report, reporting on the specific situation of the negotiations for the acquisition of Finger Company.

The price of one billion dollars is indeed not cheap.

When the Dayak Group initially acquired the young Finger Company, it only spent $200 million to buy 80% of Finger Company's shares.

At that time, Pei Qian felt that $200 million was a lot of money, and that the Dayak Group was very wealthy. But looking at it now, what is $200 million?

Of course, later Pei Zong was provoked to forcibly use the privatization offer to buy all the shares of Finger Company, which cost another $72 million, which can be said to be a huge loss.

But now, the Dayak Group resells Finger Company for one billion dollars, so it can't be considered a loss.

This is normal. The Dayak Group is not stupid, how could it do a losing business? If they are going to sell Finger Company, they must make a profit.

But for Tenda Group, this transaction is not a loss either.

Because this one billion dollars buys not just a simple game, but also the copyrights of all the heroes in ioi, all the employees of Finger Company including the designers, and most importantly, it also buys the existing system built by ioi in so many regions and markets around the world, as well as all the ioi players.

The Dayak Group has also invested a lot of money to promote ioi. Of course, ioi is also constantly making money.

Being able to fully receive these achievements is also quite good for Tenda Group.

Even one billion dollars is considered cheap compared to the acquisition of game companies.

Of course, the reasons for this are more complicated, mainly due to the following points.

First of all, Finger Company is not like other game company giants. It only has one game, ioi, and the data of ioi has not only not increased rapidly recently, but is also constantly shrinking.

Many game company giants have several classic IPs, and they are still making a lot of money. Moreover, there are no competing games on the market, and they can earn a lot of money in the visible future, so the acquisition must be very expensive.

But ioi's current situation is that it is being chased and beaten by GoG all over the world. Even the Dayak Group itself is not confident in it, and the outside world is naturally even less optimistic.

If everyone is not optimistic, the price will definitely be low.

Secondly, Charles, the CEO of Finger Company, has been making troubles and courting death recently, with one negative news after another.

Charles wanted to lower the stock price of Finger Company as much as possible so that he could buy it at a low price and make a lot of money. Therefore, he not only released negative news, but also tried his best to fool the Dayak Group: Sell it to me quickly, if you don't sell it, you may not even get this price in the future.

The Dayak Group also contacted some interested investors, but these investors either hesitated and waited, or were directly cheated away by Charles' tricks, and no acquisition intention was reached.

These situations have further lowered the Dayak Group's expectations for the acquisition price.

Finally, Tenda's acquisition team also played a role, adopting a relatively smart strategy and not being treated as a sucker.

Although Tenda's team quickly contacted the Dayak Group, they did not show a strong desire to acquire.

This is also normal. Tenda has GoG, which beats ioi all over the world. Why should I buy ioi?

Buying it is just because I want to find a guarantee for GoG and completely swallow the MOBA game market; if I don't buy it, I won't have any losses anyway. No matter who Finger Company is finally sold to, it is unlikely to pose a fatal threat to GoG again.

When we, Tenda, buy ioi, we won't push the price to a level that you can't accept, but you must not think of us as suckers and try to rip us off. That is absolutely impossible.

So, after talking and talking, the price came to about one billion dollars.

Of course, this one billion dollars cannot buy the entire Finger Company, because the Dayak Group previously gave some shares to these high-level executives of Finger Company as an incentive, such as Charles holding about 10% of the shares.

Adding the shares held by other executives and individual retail investors, there are about less than 20% in total.

In other words, Tenda actually only bought a little over 80% of Finger Company's shares from the Dayak Group, which has absolute control but not complete control.

The Dayak Group can only sell the shares in its own hands, and cannot make decisions for Charles and other executives to sell their shares as well.

It is their freedom to keep them or cash them out at the right time.

Pei Qian hasn't completely figured out what to do with the remaining shares.

Should I do it again?

Like the Dayak Group back then, make a privatization offer, delist Finger Company again, and pursue 100% control?

That is really not necessary.

Because these shares look small, but they are expensive to buy.

Although Pei Qian doesn't care about money, he doesn't have to give money to these executives as a sucker.

Besides, there is no need to pursue 100% control. Pei Qian doesn't have obsessive-compulsive disorder.

No matter how much equity he has, it will not affect his grand plan.

The report also reminded that some of the top executives of Finger Company, including Charles, may cause trouble and must be guarded against.

But Pei Qian didn't care at all, because he didn't care whether these people caused trouble or not.

As long as he doesn't care about money, there are plenty of ways to arrange them!

…

…

February 26th, Tuesday noon.

A restaurant in Shanghai.

Brother Wei, Lao Zhou, and several old employees from the public affairs department of Shengyun Group are having a meal together.

The reason for choosing noon is that Shengyun Group has been facing a public opinion crisis recently, and the public affairs department has to work overtime until very late even at night.

Since everyone has to work overtime anyway, it doesn't matter when they have dinner...

Taking the lunch break into account, it is less noticeable if a few people slip away.

These people didn't choose a place at random. They found a restaurant near Shengyun Group and agreed to find a better restaurant for a good meal when they had time in the future.

"Brother Wei, how did the exam go? Were the questions difficult?"

"Lao Zhou, didn't you also take the exam? Do you have confidence? Give us some advice!"

"I hope you two can pass the exam smoothly, so that we can have someone to take care of us when we take the exam in the future."

"I watched the live recording. I have to say, President Lu is really handsome! He directly made Lao Nie speechless and lose face. He's so awesome! The employees of Nifeng Logistics are very happy to work with such a boss."

"I'm really envious. If I didn't meet the conditions for Tenda's special recruitment, I would have taken the exam too!"

"Negative public opinion has exploded these past few days, and we've been scolded miserably, but why do I feel so relieved? Although we inevitably have to work overtime..."

"Although we pretend to have a 'sm' face at work like President Nie and the others, we are still happy in our hearts! So what if we work overtime? It's worth it to see such a big fun when we work overtime!"

Although Brother Wei has resigned, everyone's friendship is still there, so of course they have to have a good meal in private.

Several old employees chatted while eating, and expressed their concern about the situation of Tenda's recruitment exam.

Because everyone wants to go!

In addition, everyone naturally talked about the conflict between Lao Wei and the vice president, as well as the live recording of the debate between Lu Mingliang and President Nie.

This matter has been making a lot of noise, and has been on the hot search for several days. It seems that the popularity is unlikely to go down.

Lao Zhou said with some guilt: "Brother Wei, you quarreled with the vice president because you asked for leave for me. I didn't stand up for you, and I'm a little sorry..."

Brother Wei waved his hand: "Hey, don't say that. Actually, I've been very unhappy with my work for a long time. This time, I just couldn't bear it anymore, so my emotions broke out. It has nothing to do with you."

"Besides, what's the use of you speaking up for me? Would we both be packing up and leaving together? It's meaningless. My financial situation is better than yours, and I can handle it even if I don't have a job for the time being."

Someone asked: "Brother Wei, you haven't said it yet, how was the exam? Was it difficult?"

Brother Wei said helplessly: "There were a lot of people taking the exam, a lot! I originally thought that the conditions were so strict that the number of people taking the exam would definitely be smaller, but I didn't expect the competition to be so fierce."

"It can only be said that Tenda is really popular. It's simply a paradise for workers."

"I can't guarantee whether I can pass the exam. The papers are still being graded, and the results are expected to be released next week. Plus, there are interviews and other miscellaneous steps, so it may take half a month."

Someone else asked: "Lao Zhou, what about you?"

Lao Zhou scratched his head: "I can't say either! The questions are still quite difficult. Some questions are very professional, and some questions test your prediction and views on the development of the industry. Moreover, there are also contents related to Tenda's spirit test. I don't even know if my answers are correct. I can only rely on guessing."

Everyone nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

After all, Tenda's recruitment exam is notoriously difficult, and they have to consider the possibility of "not passing."

This probability not only exists, but is also very high.

But you can't say such unlucky words on this occasion. People still have to have some EQ, so they must wish the two of them to pass the exam smoothly.

While they were eating, Brother Wei's phone rang.

He didn't think much about it, picked up the phone and asked, "Hello?"

Then, he fell silent, listening to the person on the phone for nearly half a minute before replying, "Uh... okay! No problem!"

"Okay, then I'll find some time to go to Jingzhou in a couple of days!"

After hanging up the phone, everyone realized that the situation seemed to be unusual.

"Brother Wei, what's wrong?"

Brother Wei looked at everyone with a blank expression: "I... I was offered a special position at Tenda!"
