Chapter 818 It's like a dream
The expressions on the faces of Mike Touching Rhaime and Frankpearce are very wonderful.
At the beginning, in addition to being shocked, they were still more unbelievable. However, when time passed a little, the expressions on their faces changed again, turning into contemplation and unwillingness.
This is easy to understand: Yes, since we will be sold by Cendant sooner or later, why can't we take this opportunity to get more benefits for ourselves? Don't talk to me about professional ethics and other things. When deciding to sell Blizzard, does Cendant consider the interests of the three of us? What they consider is always their own interests! Since Cendant can consider their own interests first, why can't we?
Why don’t we think about ourselves?
At the end, Mike Touching Rhaime and Frankpearce's faces were no longer contemplative and unwilling, but angry.
Seeing the expressions on Mike Touching Rhaime and Frankpearce's faces, allenadham breathed a sigh of relief. He knew very well that the reason why Blizzard was Blizzard was not because of himself, but because of the existence of his three-person group. Although he wanted to take this opportunity to fight for his own interests, to be more precise, it was to fight for his own three-person group. Mike Touching Rhaime and Frankpearce could take the initiative to figure it out by himself, of course it was the best that he did not want to hurt the friendship between the three because of this incident.
Seeing that the mike touched Rhaime and Frankpearce were already moved, allenadham hit the railway while it was hot: "I think IQ has a strong interest in Blizzard. Since IQ is interested in Blizzard, we can naturally help IQ put pressure on Cendant. Let CiQ take over Blizzard successfully, all of this. As long as Lin agrees to successfully acquire Blizzard, we can increase the proportion of our shares in Blizzard."
Commitment share ratio?
Allenadham's words were like a sledgehammer hitting Mike's chest and Frankpearce, making them breathless for a moment, but the next moment, their eyes turned red: If they could take this opportunity to increase their shares in Blizzard, then...
Before Mike touched Rhaime and Frankpearce to figure it out, allenadham threw out another bombshell: "And, Mike, Frank. You all know that Cendant Group, which is eager to sell cash out, will not open a high price. I don't think we will have such a good opportunity in the future. Perhaps for us, this is the best opportunity..."
"Allen, don't say it," Mike touched Rhaime suddenly interrupted allenadham's words, breathing heavily: "You only say, what are we going to do? And. How much do you expect our shares to reach?"
Although frankpearce did not speak, her eyes were even more enthusiastic than the one who touched Rhaime: the same sentence, as an elite member who traded capitalism, who doesn’t like money?
"The expectation is 10%. Everyone! The minimum is 20% for the three of us. Just like the agreement signed by Davidson & Associates when we acquired us, IQ must also guarantee Blizzard's right to make the game." Allenadham said without hesitation: "As for what should be done, I don't think this is a job that we are good at. But it doesn't matter, as long as we reach an agreement with Mr. Lin, we can ask the elites of IQ to help us develop the most perfect plan."
He looked at each other with frankpearce, and Mike touched rhaime nodded without hesitation: "Agree!"
Frankpearce also followed and expressed his meaning: "Agree!"
"Very good," until this time, allenadham was really relieved and smiled at his two companions, "Now, we can ask Mr. Lin to talk about this..."
………………………………………
Allenadham was not embarrassed at all and said to Lin Zheng calmly: "Mr. Lin, is icq interested in Blizzard?"
"Of course, Blizzard is the top game production company in the industry with the most powerful concepts. IQ is of course interested in Blizzard." Lin Zheng nodded. His words were not a compliment. Although Blizzard is not comparable to the top international game giants such as Ubisoft and ea, it is also a newcomer in the industry. Even if you don't know what level Blizzard will reach in the future, just for now, Blizzard is also a good investment target. If it weren't for the three co-founders of Blizzard's ideas, they were a bit too extreme. In the process of making games, they simply took money and didn't know how many companies wanted to repay the company's income.
Allenadham stared at Lin Zheng tightly and said word by word: "That's right, the parent company of Blizzard Company's Cendant Group is now in a very bad financial situation. We have heard the news. The group seems to be interested in packaging and selling the software department, Xueleshan Online and Blizzard Entertainment..."
He looked at allenadham, and then looked at the Mike and Frankpearce. Like allenadham, Mike and Frankpearce also had the same light in their eyes, which was the desire for money and the yearning for wealth.
This is a really unexpected surprise!
Lin Zheng used great perseverance to stand up from the chair without excitement.
Needless to say, Lin Zheng already understood the meaning of allenadham, mike and frankpearce: If icq is interested in Blizzard Entertainment, they can help icq reach an acquisition, as long as icq is willing to pay a certain price.
What else can I hesitate about? Such an opportunity may only happen once in my life. Lin Zheng said without hesitation: "Gentlemen, tell me about your conditions. I think that as long as our goals are consistent, we can always reach a consensus."
"We only have two requests," allenadham said in a deep voice. "First, IQ promises Blizzard Entertainment's right to make the game."
"I can answer you now, no problem." Lin Zheng said without thinking.
"Very good," Lin Zheng agreed very happily, and allenadham couldn't help but smile: "Second, we think the proportion of our shares in Blizzard Entertainment is unreasonable."
"I'm listening."
"Mike and Frank, my three people, have only 10% shares in Blizzard Entertainment. We help icq, but after the acquisition is successful, we three want 36% of the shares." Although we know that Lin Zheng will not refuse and will definitely consider it carefully, after saying this, allenadham was still a little nervous.
"36%?" Lin Zheng frowned. To be honest, 36% of the shares are not too many, but a company is not just looking at personal product production and development capabilities, but market planning and marketing capabilities are also very important. At this point, the three co-founders of Blizzard are far behind.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Zheng Fang Shi shook his head: "It's more than 36%, let's do it, I will increase the shares of three people by 50%.
The increase of 50% means that after Blizzard is acquired by IQ, the shares of the three co-founders will reach 15%. To be honest, this is really not a small number, and the three of them understand more clearly that 15% is definitely not the bottom line that Lin Zheng can accept. Allenadham said without hesitation: "No, 15% is too little. In this way, let's take a step back, 33%, each of us 11%.
“33%? No,…”
The two parties have been in a relationship and finally reached an oral agreement that cannot be disclosed: allenadham, mike and frankpearce will do their best to help IQ acquire Blizzard Entertainment, Xueleshan Online and Software Department from Cendant Group at the lowest price possible. The highest price that IQ can accept is US$22 million. After the acquisition is successful, the three co-founders of Blizzard Entertainment will automatically own 18% of the shares in the new company.
In addition, the three co-founders lowered $1 million on the basis of $22 million.
Although the three of them were not achieved the minimum target of 20% at the beginning of allenadham, the three were also very satisfied with the conditions given by Lin Zheng, 22 million? Based on the three of them’s understanding of the current financial situation of the Cendant Group, they are sure that as long as they put enough pressure on them, it should not be difficult to lower the five or six million US dollars. This means that the three of them can obtain more than 20% of the shares, which has already made them very satisfied.
Lin Zheng was also very happy after reaching an agreement, but he suddenly remembered another thing: "allen, if I remember correctly, Blizzard announced that it would launch a new real-time strategy game "Starcraft" in January next year, right?"
"It's true..." allenadham looked at Lin Zheng in confusion, not understanding what he meant by asking this question.
"I hope StarCraft can be released after Blizzard Entertainment is acquired by IQ." (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
