Entertainment: I have been poor, but I have never been poor.

Chapter 130

After the two billion dollar offer came out.

This made everyone can't help but be shocked to the point of incomparable.

Because they didn't think of it.

It's just a game, and it can fetch two billion dollars.

Even the acquisition of an entire game studio would seem outrageous.

After all.

This studio.

In fact, it was only a game called "Minecraft".

It's said to be buying the entire studio, but it's not much different from buying the game.

Even though the game is very popular, many young people like to play it.

But they didn't think about it either.

Future Industry dares to quote two billion dollars.

This price makes them all think that the lion opens its mouth.

"Groove, my world is the industrial of the future?"

"I heard that this game is still Su Ming's idea, which was developed by his founding team!"

"My God, what kind of genius is this, even if finance is so powerful, now even develop games!"

"This game is really fun, I'm addicted to it, but two billion dollars would be too much of an exaggeration!"

"You guys said that Su Ming will not want to sell games, so he will open his mouth, the purpose is to make Microsoft retreat!"

"Two billion dollars is impossible, how many copies do you have to buy to sell for two billion, how can Microsoft agree to this price!"

"Su Ming is a genius, and it is true that my world is very hot, but it cannot be worth two billion US dollars!"

After knowing Minecraft.

Many people were surprised.

Because many of them have played the game and at least know it.

But even so.

Many people don't know the relationship between this game and the future industry.

They had no idea that the game was developed by the studios of Future Industries.

Even, many people think that this is a foreign game.

That's why.

After knowing the news.

It was indeed a surprise to them.

If it weren't for the exposure that Microsoft wanted to acquire Minecraft, many people wouldn't know this.

But.

Two billion dollar quotes.

This was still a surprise to everyone.

They don't believe that a game can sell for two billion dollars.

This price.

Directly exceeded their imagination.

Even the acquisition of an entire game studio would be an exaggeration.

Because of the acquisition of studios.

In fact, it is just to invite the original team to continue to maintain the 06 update of the game.

Having developed a game alone, you dare to offer two billion dollars directly.

This still makes everyone feel like a dream.

Even if they know that this is not the final price, they will still feel that this offer is too outrageous.

Maybe after Microsoft knew this price, it directly canceled the idea of acquisition.

That's what a lot of people think.

They all decided that it was impossible to sell it at this price.

Again, they don't know the specifics.

If everyone knew about two billion dollars.

It was just the admission ticket that Su Ming requested, not the offer he wanted.

And the actual offer.

It will only be more expensive than this.

I don't know what kind of expressions these people will have, and it is estimated that it will be extremely exciting.

Of course.

Su Ming was not obliged to explain to others.

No matter how the outside world talks about it, it will not affect this matter at all.

And in this day.

He came to the future Mingxing.

When Su Ming returned to the future Mingxing again.

It's been days.

"Boss."

"The Microsoft representative is already inside!"

As soon as Su Ming got out of the elevator.

Shen Xinna directly began to report to him.

Listen.

Su Ming nodded.

Then he walked directly into the conference room.

And at this time.

In the conference room.

Already a group of people are sitting.

These people are nationals, as well as whites and blacks.

They are all Microsoft's distribution executives in the Dragon Country and are also the negotiators this time.

When they appear here.

It means that there is not much disagreement with what Su Ming said about two billion dollars.

At least with a negotiable mindset.

If they think two billion dollars, that price is too outrageous.

Then they wouldn't be here today.

They appear here.

It already represents an attitude in itself.

If you let the outside world know that the Microsoft representative is already here.

I don't know how much of a sensation it will cause.

This time, the representative leadership.

It is obviously the countryman sitting in the center seat.

This is a middle-aged man wearing glasses and looking Sven.

"President Su, hello."

"This time we came over, mainly to negotiate with you about the acquisition of my world."

"Our company is very interested in Minecraft, but we think we can discuss the purchase price!"

A Microsoft representative spoke first.

He first expressed interest, but also voiced his disagreement with the price.

As long as the price is right, it will definitely be willing to buy it.

But the price of two billion dollars has to make them hesitate.

"You may have misunderstood."

"Two billion dollars, just the qualifications for us to meet."

"But actually, it's not the price I want, and it's unlikely to be lowered."

Su Ming said directly: "And the price I want is two and a half billion US dollars, this is my condition, you guys think about it!" "

For negotiations.

He's always been straight to the point.

The main thing is that he made his goals clear before the negotiations.

Talk if you can.

If you can't talk about it, forget it.

It's always been so clean.

As soon as the words came out.

Much to the surprise of everyone on behalf of Microsoft.

Originally thought that two billion US dollars is already a very high price.

And they came over today, hoping to reduce some prices as much as possible.

But what I didn't expect was.

None of them had time to haggle.

Su Ming's side was good, and it was directly increased to 2.5 billion US dollars.

A one-time markup of $500 million.

Even if it starts at the price, it is not so ruthless.

"President Su."

"That's a lot of trouble for us."

"With the number of players in my world now, how much it can grow in the future is unknown."

The Microsoft representative immediately said: "Two billion dollars is a very risky acquisition, two and a half billion dollars is even more unrealistic, you also have to consider the upper limit of the game!" "

Two billion dollars are negotiable.

Not to mention two and a half billion dollars, how could it be agreed.

This price.

Let them feel that Su Ming has no sincerity to cooperate.

Otherwise, how could it be possible to offer such an outrageous price all of a sudden.

"The game naturally has a cap."

"But for now, my world is far from the limit."

"Because the game is extremely open, it can continue to attract new users, and it will be mainly young users."

Su Ming said with a smile: "Moreover, for you, I think what I care most about is not the profit of the game, but the user group, which is what Microsoft pays the most attention to!" "

These words.

The Microsoft representative couldn't help but be silent.

Microsoft wants to acquire Minecraft, and it is indeed fancy the user group.

"The maximum number of Minecraft players will be in the hundreds of millions."

"Moreover, the IP licensing, brand cooperation, and peripheral development of this game are all huge cakes."

"Most importantly, it can expand the gaming business line, increase the company's brand influence, and capture the mobile gaming market."

Su Ming said again: "For Microsoft's platform, they need a phenomenal IP to build their own multi-platform, and my world is currently the most suitable!" "

To this.

Let the Microsoft representative be silent again.

Because they also had to admit it.

It is precisely because of these advantages that this acquisition will be made.

But Su Ming sees these advantages, which are all needed by Microsoft, to raise the price.

This is unacceptable to the Microsoft team.

"Mr. Su."

"You have a point."

"In fact, we saw these potentials and wanted to buy my world."

The Microsoft representative said: "But these advantages cannot support two and a half billion dollars, and the board cannot approve this deal!" "

For Minecraft.

Microsoft is indeed a lot of acquisition motivator. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

But this price will become the biggest resistance to their acquisition.

So, what they have to do now is to keep the price as low as possible.

As the team in this negotiation.

They are also responsible for this acquisition.

If the acquisition price is too high, it directly affects Microsoft's financial report.

Then they will be responsible for this loss.

That's why.

At the time of acquisition.

Naturally, it is hoped that some prices can be reduced.

Even if it cannot be reduced to two billion dollars, it cannot be directly two and a half billion dollars.

"It will pass."

"Because Microsoft needs this game so much, and it needs to use this game to compete with other platforms."

"For example, Sony and Nintendo, of course Google and Amazon, I think their platforms should also be very interesting."

Su Ming said directly: "If you can't accept this price, then we can't continue to talk, I will go and find a more suitable buyer!" "

For this negotiation.

He's still straightforward.

If Microsoft doesn't accept the price, then he talks directly to someone else.

After firming up your goals.

No matter what the other person says, it is impossible to change your goals.

This is Su Ming's negotiation style, so that the other party has no way at all.

There is a feeling of uncomfortable power that has nowhere to be used.

Of course.

This premise is that you have a lot of confidence.

If you don't have enough advantages to attract the other person.

Then with Su Ming's way of negotiating, the other party left directly.

However, the game "Minecraft" itself needs Microsoft, and it is naturally impossible to leave just like that.

And most importantly.

After Su Ming moved out of other competitors, this made the other party pay great attention to it.

Actually, Sony and Nintendo are okay.

Although they have been competing with Microsoft for many years, their tracks are not completely overlapping.

The biggest threats to Microsoft are Google and Amazon.

All three are building their own platforms and all are trying to expand their platforms.

In this case.

Microsoft really doesn't want Google and Amazon's platforms to continue to expand.

If these two platforms know Minecraft, how important it is to Microsoft.

Then they are likely to be interested in acquiring it.

The huge user base of Minecraft.

This is extremely attractive to any platform.

That's why.

After Su Ming said such words.

The Microsoft team couldn't help but feel threatened.

Moreover, they have also understood what he means, which is to stick to this price without making any adjustments.

No matter how much they bargained, he just wouldn't lose a penny.

If they don't accept the price.

Then Su Ming will find other buyers and will not waste any more time.

Though.

Other platforms don't necessarily come up with such high prices.

But not afraid of 10,000, just in case, if other platforms are really willing to do it.

Then it will be too late for Microsoft to try to stop it.

"President Su."

"We need to report to the directors."

"Would you please wait for us?"

Microsoft representatives can only speak.

He has no way to make decisions directly.

Therefore, he must report to the board of directors to know the result.

"Please take care of yourself."

"I'll arrange a room for you."

"You can discuss slowly, no hurry, I'm waiting for your news here!"

Su Ming said directly.

He also had someone arrange an empty room for them.

This allows this representative team to have virtual meetings with the board.

"Thank you, Mr. Su!"

The Microsoft representative spoke.

Everyone immediately left the room.

The $2.5 billion acquisition does require a meeting to study.

To this.

Su Ming was not in a hurry at all.

Nor is he worried about the possibility of failure in this matter.

After all, in a previous life, Microsoft has already acquired once, and this time there should be no surprise.

And most importantly.

He believes Microsoft has already made its judgment.

How much is the game "Minecraft" worth, they should have 357 results long ago.

Therefore, this discussion should be decided soon.

That's why.

This made Su Ming not need to be in a hurry at all.

He can sit here leisurely and wait for the good news from the other party.

"How's IBM over there?"

In the process of waiting.

Su Ming also asked Shen Xinna next to him.

His next project is the M giant.

So, of course, he wanted to understand the situation.

"The share price didn't fluctuate much."

"However, since you last mentioned IBM, a lot of agencies have re-predicted IBM."

"These institutions may sell IBM in large quantities at any time, and many retail investors are also hesitating!"

Shen Xinna replied directly.

IBM's current situation is also very unoptimistic.

In particular, Su Ming's words played a great influence.

"So are we laid out?"

Su Ming asked again.

He had already started laying out the layout several days ago.

The specific plans have been arranged, but they have been kept secret.

"It's all laid out."

"Follow your previous instructions."

"We've sold $12 billion worth of shares through brokers!"

Shen Xinna immediately reported.

And this is also the credit of these days.

Within days, $12 billion worth of shares were sold.

That's already more than six percent of the shares.

With such a large shipment.

IBM's stock price did not fluctuate much.

There must be institutions behind this that are sweeping a lot of goods.

I just don't know if IBM is sweeping goods or if there are other financial institutions doing this.

But for Su Ming.

No one behind this has any impact at all.

Because this does not hinder his short selling at all.

$12 billion in stock.

All of them are stocks borrowed by Su Ming through brokers, and this is to be repaid.

Now wait for IBM's stock price to plummet, and then sweep the goods back in the market.

The difference in this is the profit of his shorting.

"Short IBM this time."

"The estimated earnings will not be too ideal."

"You can only make more than a billion dollars, it's better than nothing!"

After listening to Shen Xinna's report.

Su Ming sighed with some regret.

IBM's stock price, after all, is far from comparable to Fruit Group.

The market value of a fruit group is already worth several IBMs.

Therefore, the profit of this short selling is also relatively limited.

Shen Xinna: "..."

More than a billion dollars in earnings, is it better than nothing?

This exclamation.

Let her mood be complicated.

People who didn't know thought that Su Ming was talking about hundreds of thousands.

Now more than a billion dollars can't satisfy his appetite, so she really doesn't know what to say.

And at this time.

Microsoft is back again on behalf of the team.

From their expressions, this matter should have come to fruition.

For this result.

Su Ming was not worried about deviations at all.

Because he doesn't think Microsoft will give up the game, this is the biggest reliance.
