Chapter 785: $15 Billion Valuation(1/2)
Jiang Hao was not wrong. After a while, many investment companies and game companies came to him, and Zhou Xinyan suddenly became busy.
"President Zhou, I am Takeru Ada, the president of Sony Entertainment China. Sony Entertainment intends to acquire your Haoran Technology in general. You can also become a member of Sony. Do you want to sell it as a whole?"
Zhou Xinyan asked with a tight mood: "Overall acquisition? What is your offer?"
Taketo Aida smiled confidently, "600 million US dollars to acquire the game you have and all the technology about this game."
"Let's go slowly, don't send it."
......
"President Zhou, we are from EA. We appreciate your company's production of such picture quality games. I would like to ask, is the engine that makes pet war games belonging to your company?"
Zhou Xinyan shook her head, "It belongs to the private ownership of our company's chairman, General Jiang, and is not the company's technology."
"We EA intend to buy that engine or rent it for use. I wonder if Mr. Jiang has any ideas about this."
Zhou Xinyan shook her head and gave up her skills to make money. Just to earn that little use fee, you are stupid.
These companies all want to achieve the greatest benefit at the lowest price, but the little price they gave is not enough to impress Jiang Hao.
......
A certain Teng company,
"Hello, Mr. Zhou, hello, I am Pan Jiang from Qteng Game Department." The man who was not tall and wearing glasses shook hands enthusiastically with Zhou Xinyan.
"Hello, Mr. Pan."
After both sides sat down, Pan Jiang immediately said: "Mr. Zhou, the 'Pet Battle' game you made is a good game. It has captured one of the market and has its own positioning, which has attracted a lot of people who love to keep pets."
As the guy said that, he turned on his phone, a German shepherd dog immediately appeared on his phone interface. Pan Jiang smiled and said, "I'm not afraid to tell you, I'm also a pet person. I have a German shepherd at home. Look, it's exactly the same as the one I keep on my phone. If I can't accompany him, I'll play with him on my phone."
"Mr. Zhou, our QTeng Game Department intends to represent this game. I believe that with the promotion of our powerful platform, this game will definitely occupy the market quickly, and it is not a problem to achieve annual revenue of more than 1 billion."
Zhou Xinyan smiled, "Do you only want our 'pet war' game? Have you no idea about our other technologies?"
"Oh~~" Pan Jiang's face froze when Zhou Xinyan asked, and then he smiled and said, "Once Zhou understands people, then I won't go around the corner."
"It's better to be straight to the point." Zhou Xinyan said.
"To be honest, Tencent really likes several of your company's technologies. According to our survey, all the technologies involved in this game of your company are owned by your company, right?" Pan Jiang asked.
Zhou Xinyan shook her head, "Strictly speaking, it belongs to our chairman Jiang Hao, not the company's property."
Pan Jiang immediately understood what Zhou Xinyan meant, "Haha, that's the same. Investment has always been an investor, after all, the product is dead, right?"
"I want to ask Mr. Ma if we two can reach a complete cooperative relationship, or what conditions should QTeng take to enjoy your company's technology." Pan Jiang said.
Zhou Xinyan didn't expect the other party to ask this and said, "This requires direct consultation by Mr. Jiang. I can't make the decision."
......
Five days later,
Millennium Marina Hotel.
Jiang Hao pulled Zhou Xinyan to the door of the largest private room inside. The waiter quickly opened the door of the room. When the two walked in, they saw a man with eyes sitting inside. Seeing Jiang Hao and the others coming over, they stood up with smiles.
The two reached out and formally introduced themselves.
"Jiang Hao."
"Ma Teng."
Zhou Xinyan glanced at the Man Ma opposite who was worth hundreds of billions of yuan and in charge of a company worth hundreds of billions of yuan, and then looked at his own man. He found that Jiang Hao's aura was not weaker than that of Mr. Ma, and he was even younger and more handsome.
The food was served, and it was very rich. There were only three people sitting at a huge table, but the three of them were not focused on eating.
"Mr. Jiang, I'm going to tell you that Qteng has studied your game 'Pet Battle' in depth." Mr. Ma said bluntly when he came up.
"Have you destroyed several servers?" Jiang Hao asked with a smile.
Mr. Ma smiled slightly, "Yes, Mr. Jiang's skills are very good, which has caused us to lose tens of millions."
"Mr. Jiang, the technical department has done a sufficient technical analysis of your game and concluded that with Tencent's current technology, it is impossible to make such a game. Haoran Technology has surpassed many game companies in some aspects. This makes me admire Mr. Jiang's technology."
"What is Mr. Ma's idea?" Jiang Hao asked.
Boss Ma pondered for a moment and said, "Q Teng hopes to obtain several technologies in Mr. Jiang's hands, 3D engine technology, large-scale game compression transplant technology, and mobile phone intelligent robot programs."
"I have two solutions. One is to invest in 'Haoran Technology' and obtain a certain shareholding. Of course, these technologies need to be included. At the same time, QTeng is allowed to use these technologies, and the usage cost is calculated separately. The other is to purchase these technologies."
Jiang Hao smiled, "Since Mr. Ma has fully analyzed the situation here, he should know that the technologies you mentioned can create technologies worth billions of dollars, but they are not cheap. Whether it is cooperation or use, QTeng will have to pay a lot of money."
According to Jiang Hao's tone, it means cooperation. Boss Ma smiled, "I think compared to technology, money is a small problem. As long as you buy something worth the money, it is worth it."
Jiang Hao has already thought about it. He has never had the habit of eating alone. Cooperation and taking advantage of the situation are the key to development. If he wants to go far in the future, he needs partners.
Many people say that Boss Ma's QTeng game poisons teenagers or something, and Jiang Hao does not deny this, but business is business, and he also makes games. If he says that, he is not a good person.
He needs partners, and thinks that QTeng is much more suitable than those venture capital angel companies, Japanese and American game companies.
QTeng has a wide range of industries and a complete ecological chain. It is a giant among domestic Internet companies, so QTeng is a good choice.
"What Mr. Jiang meant is to let us invest in 'Haoran Technology' or sell these software?" asked Boss Ma.
Jiang Hao smiled and said, "Just forget to invest in Haoran Technology, I am going to maintain his independence."
"I am going to form a subsidiary and propose the game department. With these software, the shares of this subsidiary can be sold to Mr. Ma. I believe that cooperation between Pet Battle and QTeng game business can be promoted faster."
Boss Ma was slightly surprised, "Will your 'Haoran Technology' become an empty shell?"
Jiang Hao smiled, "I am going to invest in other aspects of research for the money I sell."
Boss Ma nodded and understood Jiang Hao's intentions, but what he wanted to do was not his business. He just needed to get the skills he wanted.
"What is Mr. Jiang's valuation of the new company? How many shares are you planning to sell to me?" said Boss Ma.
"I have high expectations for the future of these technologies, and their applications are very wide, profitable, and are of great help to QTeng, so my valuation is 15 billion US dollars." Jiang Hao said.
Boss Ma blinked, "Mr. Jiang, to be honest, this valuation is much higher than my expectations."
"What is Mr. Ma's expected valuation?" Jiang Hao asked.
“$5 billion.”
Jiang Hao shook his head, "Last year, the global game market was US$135 billion. It was reported that QTeng's gaming revenue last year was US$18.1 billion, the company with the most revenue in games in the world, exceeding the total of Blizzard and EA, and 60% of its revenue comes from mobile terminals. Is that true Mr. Ma?"
Boss Ma nodded. This is public data and the company cannot make fraud.
"If we have the latest 3D engine and large game porting technology, I believe QTeng will make a big breakthrough in gaming, and will truly enter the world game field and play a leading role." Jiang Hao said.
Although QTeng makes a lot of money, his game production is not even ranked among the top ten game companies in the world. What he mainly earns is the money from Chinese people, relying on the huge player base and primary school students to make money.
But in the hearts of players around the world, QTeng Games has no place, and it is impossible to compare with companies like Blizzard and EA.
In fact, this is also the biggest reason why Boss Ma wants to buy software like Jiang Hao. If Jiang Hao gets his technology, it is possible that QTeng can truly enter the ranks of world-class game companies and occupy the game market more.
Of course, you can also make more money.
"Mr. Ma, I believe that with my skills and with QTeng's strong publicity capabilities, it is estimated that it will take less than two years to enter the world's high-end game market and become the leader in the game industry." Jiang Hao said.
Anyway, you don't spend money on saying good things.
You can still make money.
"How many shares are Mr. Jiang preparing to take? Can QTeng control the shares?" Boss Ma asked the second question.
"Does Mr. Ma really want to take control?" Jiang Hao asked.
"Of course I want to."
Whoever controls the stock market will have a greater say and can guide the company's future direction. It does not mean that the company's things will be used for free for Tencent, but that the company's technology can be controlled and only provided to Tencent. This is the most important thing.
Jiang Hao thought for a while and said, "I keep 40%.
Boss Ma smiled, "It's better to do this. Let's leave the business negotiations to our subordinates. I believe we will always reach a cooperation point. I still have some technical questions to ask Mr. Jiang."
The two stopped talking about money and talked about technical issues, mainly about the performance and application of Jiang Hao's technologies.
The meal was very pleasant.
After the dinner, the two sides made an agreement for the next meeting. Jiang Hao and Zhou Xinyan drove away. The traffic and lights on the road were circulating. Zhou Xinyan looked at the man driving and asked, "Honey, didn't you say before that your technologies are worth 600 billion, why is it now priced at $15 billion?"
Jiang Hao smiled, "600 billion is the ultimate valuation. I don't know how many years it will take, how many hardships it will take, or even whether I can reach that day. Now, 15 billion US dollars is a real price, and I can get the benefits immediately."
"Then why give up the controlling stake in the new company?" Zhou Xinyan asked.
"Because Lao Ma will not give up his controlling rights, this is what he needs to ensure the development of QTeng. For me, the controlling rights of this company are not very useful. Let QTeng operate it, so we can make money as we follow it."
"You prepare and register this subsidiary tomorrow, and then include the game business and these technologies, form a professional negotiation team, and start the second round of negotiations with the other party. I guess this will be a very tiring job, after all, it involves a large investment of over 10 billion US dollars."
"I know my husband, I will find a super team. Husband, what is your bottom line?" Zhou Xinyan asked.
"It cannot be less than 10 billion." Jiang Hao said.
The valuation is 15 billion, which is definitely a big talk for the lion, but if it is less than 10 billion, Jiang Hao has to consider whether to take action.
"Husband, what are you going to do after you sold it?"
Jiang Hao looked ahead with an expectant expression on his face, "I said before that Haoran Technology will first build a huge company base, and then I will form my own supercomputer and study artificial intelligence."
"I heard that research on artificial intelligence is very expensive, and Alibaba invested more than $3 billion last year." Zhou Xinyan said.
