"...That's the way it is."
At the last moment when he was about to become furious, Pétain finally found the only trace of reason left in his arrogant mentality and realized that it was China, the motherland of Golden Wind.
So, he immediately carried forward the spirit of getting out, left Golden Wind smoothly, got in the car and angrily returned to the hotel where he was staying.
Then, the situation was immediately reported to Cornick.
Hearing this, Cornick frowned slightly.
There is no doubt that the attitude of Shen Miaomiao, the CEO of Golden Wind, made Kaunik, a man from Angsa who was always accustomed to being superior, feel insulted.
What kind of company is Golden Wind?
A medium-sized game company with a single industry.
A medium-sized game company in China, a country where the game industry started the latest and is the most backward in the game industry.
And what kind of group is Yunwei-Vivendi?
You know, they are by no means a small business with a total assets of 18 billion!
The joint company spanning Europe and the United States is the world leader in water, energy, transportation, technology and other industries. The group has a market value of 1.48 trillion U.S. dollars. It is difficult to find rivals around the world. It is a truly global company. Capital giant!
And now!
This small business, with a market value of only $3.5 billion, dared to speak nonsense and unceremoniously told the vice president of a giant with a market value of trillions to get out.
Although this small company with a market value of 3.5 billion is backed by China's wealthy local group.
But so what?
According to the current situation that Kaunike has grasped, although Shen Capital, a Chinese tycoon group, is only two places lower than them in the global market value rankings, its market value is only over 900 billion, which is even lower than them. One piece.
Of course.
Since both parties have reached the level of around one trillion, it is meaningless to simply compare market values.
But the problem is, in terms of global influence, Yunwei and Vivendi still have the upper hand, right?
Think of this.
Cornick even felt that Golden Wind’s presumptuousness was a bit ridiculous:
"Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers,"
"I am used to being domineering in China, and I have received some sweetness from the hands of Comella, so I think I can really be invincible,"
"Isn't there a saying in China, which is to practice courtesy first and then attack with force?"
"Now, we have delivered the gift, but it's a pity that they don't accept it..."
Speaking of which.
Cornick raised his eyebrows slightly, with the corners of his mouth downwards, and a pityful smile flashed in his eyes.
Since Yunwei and Prestige Di joined forces, they have encountered countless tough opponents.
But with their methods, no one could survive a year.
Even Ubsoft, which was the most difficult company to crack back then, was robbed of its ownership by them in just three quarters and became Yunwei's cash cow.
But now, although the Golden Wind seems to be as airtight as a copper coin and an iron wall, it refuses to accept the suggestion of listing, and also scorns their Yunwei's acquisition intention.
But in fact.
It is not difficult at all for a behemoth like Yunwei-Vivendi to rectify such a medium-sized enterprise.
After all, the Shen Capital background that once allowed them to run rampant in China and even across Asia has no deterrent effect at Vivendi.
Not even an exaggeration.
The only thing that makes Kaunik feel a little troublesome now is the fact that Golden Wind has appeared in the official media newspapers three times.
This 'bulletproof vest' is far more powerful than the deterrent power of China's rich and powerful.
But it's not a big problem.
The bright ones cannot be replaced by the dark ones, and the hard ones cannot be replaced by the soft ones.
As long as he can keep the Golden Wind half alive so that he can take over smoothly.
"No rush, let their old friends play with them first..."
With a chuckle, Cornick waved his hand, looking at ease.
Hearing this, Petain also narrowed his eyes slightly and said with great interest:
"What does the president mean...?"
"Haha, the down-on-his-luck producer we took in at the beginning had a lot of opinions about Golden Wind."
Cornick smiled and said:
"Now, it's time for this old friend who knows his shame and becomes brave again to appear."
Say it!
beep!
Just listen to the prompt sound in the online meeting room between the two of them.
An Asian face in his forties entered the conference room.
Under his avatar, his Yunwei-Vivendi ID is displayed——
Chief Art Director of TYG (Tokyo Yamamoto Game) Studio: [Tsuna Yamamoto]
good!
He was the one who instigated and kicked out Golden Wind to independently develop "Silent Hill" and started the war between Golden Wind and Comora.
In the end, he was defeated by the Golden Wind's "Escape" and left Comella in despair.
Now he has traveled across the ocean to the United States and became a studio director under Yunwei-Vivendi.
And this time, Kaunike's hostile takeover of Golden Wind, the best candidate for the vanguard is the producer who suffered huge losses at the hands of Gu Sheng!
Kornick isn't worried about Yamamoto Tsuna's unscrupulousness.
On the contrary, he was worried that Yamamoto Tsuna was not unscrupulous enough!
After all, this time——!
…
"The ultimate goal of Yunwei-Vivendi is different from the opponents we have encountered in the past."
Binjiang No. 1 is the king of single-family buildings.
The residence of Shen Wanlin, the head of Shen Capital.
At this moment, Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao were sitting opposite Shen Wanlin in the study room.
As Gu Sheng gently put down the teacup and incense, he stirred slightly when he was disturbed.
The electronic calendar on the side shows the current time——
Friday-AM-9:18
working days.
And it's in the study room.
Yes, this time, Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao went home not to chat with Lao Shen, drink tea and play chess.
Nodding slightly, Shen Wanlin motioned for Gu Sheng to continue.
Just listen to Gu Sheng say:
"In the past, Xunteng Games was interested in our team. What they tried their best to do was to break up our team and then finance and annex it."
"They're looking for people."
"Comella, which has fought against us before, and even now has no real winner, ultimately wants to curb our development and growth and ensure its status as the hegemon in Asia,"
"They're after fame."
"In the final analysis, these two companies do not want Golden Wind to die, or in other words, our life and death is not their primary goal."
Speaking of which!
Gu Sheng shook his head slightly and changed the subject:
"But Yunwei is different. They really want us to die."
"They are coming for the IP in our hands. The closer we are to death, the easier it is for them to acquire,"
"And, to them, as long as our value is greater than their acquisition investment,"
"Then their acquisition of Golden Wind will never stop."
Gu Sheng is very clear about the methods of this kind of super capital company.
As long as the temptation of profit is strong enough, capital will pursue profit endlessly.
A hostile takeover would be best, like Ubsoft.
It doesn't matter if you can't make a hostile takeover, just throw money at them, like a golden wind to them.
Of course!
You can also have the backbone to stand firm and not let go. You would rather hide your IP until death and live a life together forever.
But it cannot fundamentally prevent Yunwei from resurrecting the dead and forcibly extending your life.
Golden Wind now has four senior executives, two studios and an operation and maintenance team, with dozens of people.
If it really breaks up by then, Yunwei will only need to spend a lot of money to recruit a few studio members, conduct a wave of reorganization, and then be able to declare to the outside world that it is a "studio under the former Golden Wind".
By then, titles such as "Spiritual Sequel to Left 4 Dead", "Created by the Original Team of Titanfall", "Wolf Game Creator Team", etc. will come one after another.
The effect is good, although it is not as good as directly paying for the original IP.
But with the popularity of these famous IPs in the gaming industry, there will definitely not be a few players paying for them.
A steady stream of funds extracted from the residual value of IP will continue to flow into the pockets of Yunwei and Vivendi.
so.
Yunwei-Vivendi’s mission this time is actually very simple——
Kill Golden Wind and force them to hand over their copyright and team management rights.
Or, a violent death.
Faced with such a brutal and tyrannical attack, Golden Wind had only one response strategy -
"Seeking breakthroughs in the cracks and achieving continuous value-added expansion of market value in the shortest possible time,"
Shen Miaomiao was surprisingly serious in front of Shen Wanlin, without the slightest bit of girlishness, her eyes were calm, calm and determined:
"In other words, as long as we grow fast enough, Yunwei's investment in acquisitions will not be able to catch up with us,"
"Maybe tens of billions, maybe hundreds of billions,"
"One day, our size will become prohibitive for them, and they will give up the acquisition plan completely."
This method is actually a bit stupid.
But there is no doubt that this is now the only way for Golden Wind to break the situation.
Just like Ayu from Gu Sheng's previous life.
In the face of a hostile takeover, only by increasing one's size and liquidity to 'redemption' oneself can one avoid falling into the hands of the devil.
The same goes for Golden Wind.
According to the current total market value of Yunwei-Vivendi, which is 1.48 trillion, the market value of their Golden Wind is more than a quarter of Yunwei-Vivendi, which is 370 billion.
Then, Yunwei-Vivendi's acquisition pursuit will completely go out of business because the acquisition price is too high.
Of course, by then, it's not that Yunwei-Vivendi doesn't want to buy it, but that they can't afford it.
From 400 million to 370 billion.
The road is long and long, and Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao must lead the Golden Wind to explore up and down.
And, it has to be fast!
Vivendi's increase in stakes won't happen overnight.
What they have to do is to raise the group to a new level of market value before Vivendi increases its investment.
After listening to what the two said.
Shen Wanlin took a gentle breath, looked at Gu Sheng with admiration, and then looked at his precious daughter with full of relief.
Then he nodded:
"Tell me what you think."
Hearing this, Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao looked at each other.
After a moment of silence, Shen Miaomiao took out a stack of documents from Gu Sheng's briefcase and handed them to Shen Wanlin with both hands:
"Mr. Shen, on behalf of Golden Wind Gaming Company, I would like to report to Shen Capital Group——"
[Application for independent subsidiary]
good!
Today, the reason why Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao met with Shen Wanlin in the study room at the studio was because of the independence of the subsidiary company!
Three years.
From the establishment of Golden Wind to the present.
Shen Wanlin and his Shen Capital were like a silent mountain, standing silently behind them to provide them with shelter.
True.
Along the way, Shen Wanlin had never provided any substantial direct help to Golden Wind or Shen Miaomiao, just as he said at the beginning.
but!
No one can deny it.
The reason why Golden Wind has grown to its current size in just three years and is now popular in China and even Asia is absolutely inseparable from the support of its parent company Shen Capital.
But now!
Faced with Vivendi, the giant crocodile that straddles the global capital market.
Even Shen Capital can no longer sufficiently frighten and threaten this greedy beast.
After all, as the representative of Yunwei Wangdi, Petain's attitude is enough to explain everything——
It is absolutely impossible for a company of that level not to make back-up lies, and even with back-up lies, they still dare to be so arrogant and domineering, which is enough to confirm some silent facts from the side.
The reason why Golden Wind resolutely chose to break away from Shen Capital at this juncture and become an independent company is very simple.
They need to speed up the pace and move towards a more diversified cooperative business model, and expand their strength as quickly as possible without going public.
But in this case, the strict approval and application process of the huge Shen Capital, which can be as short as one quarter, as long as half a year or even a year, will seriously interfere with their progress.
The former Golden Wind was not in a hurry, because neither Xunteng nor Comella were aiming for death, and they were afraid of Shen's capital and would use the same weapon as the rat.
Now, they don't have that much time.
Yunwei - Weiwangdi's tricks are deadly, and they are not afraid of Shen Capital at all, and they use a lot of dirty tricks.
Perhaps one day, when they successfully reach the 100 billion mark and become a unique comprehensive game company, the relevant approval system processes will become increasingly perfect.
But now, they need to bypass those redundant approvals reserved only for behemoths.
They need to use their own rapid expansion to compete with Vivendi's greed.
salad.
After receiving the application form handed over by Shen Miaomiao, Shen Wanlin simply flipped through it.
For a time, the whole study could hear a needle drop.
moment.
Shen Wanlin raised his head again, looked at the pair of beauties in front of him, and paused.
Then he laughed heartily.
The protection of my fathers has come to an end.
Go ahead.
It's time to embark on the real journey that belongs to you.
moment.
Shen Wanlin picked up the signature pen on the table, signed his name on the application form, pushed it forward, and said to Shen Miaomiao:
"Go and deliver it to your Uncle Li Heng. He will just supervise the subsequent procedures."
Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he stood up and took out a slender scroll from under his bookcase:
"It's just right. I just framed the words yesterday. The company is independent, so just think of it as a gift from me to you."
After saying that, Shen Wanlin waved his hand and told the two of them to go to Li Heng to go through the formalities as soon as possible.
After coming out of Lao Shen's study, the two of them entered the elevator side by side.
Looking at the scroll in Gu Sheng's hand, Shen Miaomiao pouted:
"Stingy old Shen, if the company becomes independent, I'll give it a handwriting of my own... What do you write?"
"have a look?"
Gu Sheng was also curious about this.
"Look, look."
Shen Miaomiao bared her little white teeth and encouraged Gu Sheng to open them.
Shula...
The brocade and silk stretch, and on the rice paper sprinkled with gold, two sentences are written in flowing clouds and flowing water, with dragons and phoenixes dancing in cursive script, which are vigorous, powerful, elegant and heroic——

[Today I have a long tassel in my hand, when will I tie the blue dragon]
