Chapter 624 Acquire Ubisoft and go to Finland
"To be honest, Ubisoft is in a very bad situation now. Although the first game made some money, the current game market has changed. A small workshop-style game team may not be able to make a masterpiece that players welcome. We think that professional game companies are the future." Lin Qi did not praise it at the beginning, but belittled Ubisoft and suppressed the other party's confidence, thus laying the foundation for the acquisition.
If you want to promote, you will suppress it first, this is also a means.
"Mr. Lin, we actually hope to get good investors and develop games. Although "Donald Duck" is not a very successful work, we have accumulated rich experience and have our own understanding of game development. If we have enough funds, we can recruit more professional talents and develop better games."
The five brothers expressed their meaning tactfully, that is, they hope that Lin Qi, the funder, can invest. Ubisoft's current works are not successful, but they agree with the direction of making high-quality and large-scale productions.
And Lin Qi's tone is that if they are in the right direction, they will definitely invest.
Such a super thigh is in front of you, and it is impossible to accept it without hugging it. Moreover, Lin Qi only likes them among many game companies. If it is just a simple communication, it will not be too convincing.
The actions of the five brothers were exactly what Lin Qi thought. Ubisoft's view was indeed the same as the historical route, and it was necessary to transform the game production method, and the facts proved that they were successful.
If he had been one year later, he would not have been like this now. The five brothers were full of energy, but at this moment they were still confused and wanted to give Ubisoft a way out based on their own judgment.
"No, I want to acquire it for $20 million, Ubisoft is classified as a subsidiary of New Entrepreneurship, responsible for the game business in France and even many European countries. As for how your business starts a war, I will not interfere too much, and will give you the greatest freedom space. The impact of new entrepreneurial games on a global scale, you also know that if the game is released in the future, you can still retain the title of Ubisoft. You can also enter the global market with the independent brand Ubisoft."
Lin Qi smiled. These five young men were not very careful, but instead made him feel that they had swept a lot of trouble. As for the purchase price of 20 million, it was not a small amount for Ubisoft at this time.
Speaking of acquisition, the five brothers were slightly silent. After all, this was their hard work and they invested a lot. However, 20 million US dollars is indeed a sky-high price! Everyone can share 4 million US dollars!
"With the development and popularity of personal computers, games will definitely become popular. The most important thing for those who make games is to make ideal games. Without capital, you cannot make masterpieces. As for everyone's business, it is not that important. If you make masterpieces, no matter where you develop in the future, you will have beautiful achievements and qualifications!" Lin Qi smiled and said, "Acquiring 20 million US dollars, you can share the money. After that, you can continue to stay in the company and manage the team. As for the subsequent capital for making games, we will allocate to Ubisoft."
Lin Qi spoke leisurely, with a little preaching in his tone. He is not a developer, but it does not mean that he is not proficient in the market. The future development of the entire game industry is in his mind.
"We need to think about it." The five brothers were not in a hurry to make a decision. In fact, what they always hoped for was investment in new ventures.
"Okay, I will wait for your answer." Lin Qi was not in a hurry either.
In history, even a bad boss as Vivandi could accept, so he would probably not reject Lin Qi, a relatively friendly boss.
On the third day, Xiaoyu received a call from Ubisoft, which was no different from what Lin Qi expected. The five brothers agreed to acquire Ubisoft, and within two days, they counted all the company's finances, including the financial reports, the company's current status, and the future development direction reports, all of which were in Lin Qi's hands.
"Mr. Lin, Ubisoft is very efficient in his work, and there is no loophole at all. I have checked the financial data and it is very detailed." Xiaoyu sighed with the report.
Lin Qi nodded and did not look at this thing carefully. For such a small company and financial statements, Lin Qi was not interested in any of them. Just let professional financial personnel deal with these small things.
After staying in France for a while, the office of the French New Venture Electronics Group was upgraded to the subsidiary level. A large number of personnel were recruited to expand the scale of business and capital in France.
I explained that the French New Entrepreneurship Group is mainly based on the French IT and Internet industries. With the help of the Internet, it expands the sales of new entrepreneurial products in France.
As for red wine and Ubisoft, they are not under the jurisdiction of the French branch.
After staying in France for a while, Lin Qi was already determined to be away. However, when he thought that Europe had come, it would be better to visit a few more countries, so he arrived in Finland again.
...
“This city is a little cold…”
The streets of Finland are relatively deserted, and this place is already Nordic. Looking around, there is snow on the mountains in the distance, and the cold air is mixed with moisture.
Finland Espoo has a bigger mobile phone and communications manufacturer Nokia, and Lin Qi’s goal this time is Nokia.
Lin Qi was not aware of Finland before, but a very popular game in the 21st century was developed here, and Angry Birds was born in this country.
At the same time, Linus Torvaz, the developer of the Linux operating system, was also a Finnish. The Linux operating system was later ported to many platforms, such as the common server operating system, the most common ones were the Linux operating system.
At the same time, the Android system was also the Linux kernel at the beginning, and then, using some technologies similar to emulators, and on this basis, the well-known Android system was developed. It is precisely because of this that even though the Android system later parted ways with Linux, it still could not be separated from the influence of Linux.
Therefore, although the country of Finland is small, it actually has given birth to contributions and influences that exceed its population and national strength.
"Mr. Lin, is this the Nokia River?"
Xiaoyu was very interested in the Nordic scenery. Although it was a little cold, it did not affect his interest in seeing the scenery.
Lin Qi nodded. He was actually not familiar with it. The Nokia River is not big and walks along the mountain. This is also the reason why Nokia is named. Later, Nokia gradually developed and established the city of Nokia.
