Chapter 162
"Well, we want to discuss a business deal with Director Zhang."
Yu Binhai said:
"However, it is not convenient to talk about some things on the phone. Do you think we can make an appointment to meet in the near future?"
Yu Binhai's meaning is very clear, that is, he wants to talk to Zhang Zhe about investment.
However, the two of them did not know each other before. It would be too casual to communicate directly on the phone. They must show sincerity. As the assistant general manager of the Penguin M&A Investment Department, Yu Binhai is in the second echelon of the entire department, and his power is second only to the general manager.
If you are an ordinary entrepreneur, you will definitely feel honored after receiving his call. He agreed to meet without hesitation, but Zhang Zhe had no intention of accepting investment for the time being. There was really no need to meet, so he replied:
"Sorry, Mr. Yu, I've been really busy recently and I don't have much time to spare. If you have anything to say, Mr. Yu, just say it directly."
"In this case, I won't be polite."
Yu Binhai replied:
"Director Zhang, do you have any thoughts on selling the 20% shares of Blue Hole Company that you hold?"
"I am very optimistic about the prospects of Blue Hole and plan to hold it for a long time. I have no plans to sell it for the time being."Zhang Zhe refused without hesitation.
Hearing Zhang Zhe's refusal, Yu Binhai was not surprised and continued:
"Mr. Zhang, don’t refuse in a hurry. You should know that Penguin attaches great importance to the gaming field and believes that we can definitely offer a price that satisfies you."
A price that satisfies me?
Zhang Zhe asked with a hint of teasing in his eyes:
"Then I wonder what valuation Mr. Yu gave Blue Hole?
Yu Binhai immediately replied:"One billion US dollars!" If Director Zhang is willing to take action, we are willing to take over the shares for US$200 million!"
Zhang Zhe bought the shares at a valuation of 1.2 billion RMB. Now Penguin has directly offered a price of 1 billion US dollars!
The valuation has more than quintupled. As long as Zhang Zhe is willing, he can immediately make a profit of 1 billion RMB.!
With such a high rate of return in just half a month, I believe many people will be impressed by this price.
But Zhang Zhe knows the future potential of Blue Hole, so how can he make a move in advance?
"Mr. Yu, I won’t beat around the bush with you anymore. Zhang
Zhe smiled and said:
"You should know very well that the sales of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds reached 20 million US dollars on the first day. Although sales will decrease in the future, sales of hundreds of millions or even over one billion are not a problem."
"With this achievement, a valuation of US$1 billion is far from enough, right?"
Yu Binhai was just testing it out, not the final quotation, and replied:
"If Mr. Zhang is not satisfied with the price, we can discuss it again. Zhang
Zhe refused directly and said:
"No need for the time being, I will not sell shares in the short term unless the valuation can reach tens of billions of dollars."
Blue Hole will definitely be worth this price in the future, but now the game has just been online for one day. Even if the first day results are very good, no one is sure what the future development will be. No matter how wealthy Penguin is, it is impossible to agree to this price.
"That's such a shame."
Yu Binhai replied:
"Let’s not talk about the Blue Hole thing. We are also very optimistic about your Orange Media. I wonder if Director Zhang has any financing ideas?"
Penguin is very ambitious!
Not only does he want to acquire his Blue Hole shares, but Orange Media is also interested!
"Mr. Yu should know that the registered capital of Orange Media has reached 25 million, and we are not short of funds for the time being. Zhang
Zhe declined politely:
"But when I need financing later, I will consider your company."
"Okay, let’s leave your contact information for Director Zhang so that we can communicate more in the future...."
Yu Binhai just came here to test it out today, just to know Zhang Zhe's general attitude. He didn't really come here to invest.
There is no chance now, and there will be no possibility of cooperation in the future if we have a good relationship.
After talking to Yu Binhai, Zhang Zhe had just hung up the phone when his phone rang again.
This time it was a call from Ahri's investment department. Like Yu Binhai, Ahri also wanted to acquire Zhang Zhe's shares and also had the idea of investing in Orange Media.
As the two Internet companies with the highest market value in China, Penguin and Ahri have always been in competition.
When Internet companies develop to a certain level, they will begin to create their own ecosystem.
In recent years, the two companies have been fighting fiercely in the fields of food delivery, taxi hailing, tourism, travel, etc., and together they have captured a lot of market share, and at the same time, they have also burned a lot of money.
Even if Ahri doesn't value the gaming field very much, as long as Penguin is interested in something, they don't mind getting involved.
Now that Orange Media is not short of money and is in a period of rapid development, there is absolutely no need for financing.
Zhang Zhe will not consider financing until the company's development enters a bottleneck period.
Compared to Penguin, Zhang Zhe is actually more optimistic about Ahri.
Although Penguin holds shares in the two live broadcast platforms of Seafood and Maoya, it can cooperate well with MCN.
But now that Orange Media has reached a strategic cooperation agreement with Panda TV, there is no need to develop a new live broadcast platform.
Therefore, when choosing a financing target, it must promote the development of Orange Media, such as helping to develop new businesses.
If we cooperate with Ali, with the traffic support of Baotao, the company will definitely be able to quickly cultivate a group of e-commerce anchors!
Although Penguin is the largest shareholder of Somedong, After all, Somedong is a self-operated platform and does not value live broadcasts, and its traffic cannot be compared with Baotao.
However, the company has not yet fully established itself in the field of game live streaming, so it is a bit too early to consider this.
……
After Penguin and Ahri, many people called Zhang Zhe, such as Sequoia Xiaguo, Goldman Sachs, etc.
They are all internationally renowned capital funds, and their investment sense is very keen. They will naturally know the news that Penguin can get.���Got it.
Seeing that Zhang Zhe's phone calls were not stopping, Chen Shuang said very considerately:
"Husband, why don't we go play some other time? You'll be busy with work today."
People keep calling, and Zhang Zhe is also a little upset.
Anyway, he is not planning to sell his shares now, so he simply activates the whitelist function of his mobile phone and just doesn't answer the phone.
"These are all harassing calls, don't worry about them"
"Why don't I sound like a harassing call? I'm here to discuss business with you...."Chen Shuang replied weakly
"Hahaha, they all want to take advantage of me, it doesn’t matter whether they accept it or not."
Zhang Zhe smiled, took Chen Shuang's hand and said:
"Don't worry about it, let's go out now"
"Oh well..."
Seeing that Zhang Zhe had said so, Chen Shuang did not insist.
Put on the couple's shoes of the same style as Zhang Zhe, hold Zhang Zhe's arm, and go out together happily.
