Even if very generous terms are offered.

"It is estimated that Kechuang Bio offered conditions that the boss could not refuse. As a giant that surpasses Tencent, Kechuang Bio probably offered very generous conditions in addition to money, as well as other levels of resources."

I guess what will impress the boss the most is the virtual reality device that Kechuang Bio is about to launch.

If it really is as speculated online, it's something like a virtual world where you can create your own.

This is the fatal temptation for gamers.

"Ran has the guts. If it were me, I would have sold the company when Tencent made the offer."

We can't wait until then.

After all, Ran Zong also came from Tencent. He succeeded in starting his own business and might be able to take over Ren Yu's position as president in charge of the interactive entertainment business group.

In terms of both reputation and strength, Kechuang Bio is stronger than Tencent.

However, since Kechuang Bio is more of a hardware manufacturer, its room for maneuver within this system is limited.

"I estimate that the main reason is virtual reality technology."

"Let's wait for the news. Everyone will know the specific reason later."

The employees of Red Fox Entertainment had a very lively discussion.

Kechuang Bio has risen like a rocket in the past decade, with its market value surpassing Apple to become the world's most valuable internet company.

After the release of brain-computer interface VR, Kechuang Bio began to be regarded as an internet company, and the biopharmaceutical sector was regarded by the outside world as a non-core business of Kechuang Bio.

Chen Chi, who started the business with Chen Ran back then, is also the only one from the original founding team who has persisted to this day.

He couldn't understand Chen Ran's actions at all.

"Chen Ran, when we left Tencent to start our own business, didn't we want to make the games we wanted to make without any constraints?"

You told me the same thing when you rejected investments from companies like Tencent, ByteDance, and NetEase.

At the time, Tencent promised to only invest and not interfere in our operations and management, but you refused.

This time, Kechuang Bio is acquiring us, and they will also send a vice president to deeply intervene in our operations and management.

Human resources and finance are the most important powers in a company, and it's clear the other party has ill intentions.

Why did you accept the acquisition by Kechuang Bio?

I don't understand.

Chen Chi was very direct; he had the qualifications and the connections.

Chen Ran said, "Is our ability to create a virtual world enough reason?"

Chen Chi shook his head and said, "Not enough."

We are a game development company. Although the company has been emphasizing pan-entertainment operations over the years, in my heart, we are just a game company.

As a game company, not being acquired does not affect our ability to make virtual reality games.

Kechuang Bio has launched virtual reality devices. Don't they need game developers to enrich their entire software ecosystem?

Or do you think that our group of three hundred or so people has the resources to help Kechuang Bio develop a virtual reality operating system?

If it's an operating system, we're simply not enough, and our developers don't have that experience either.

If we are only creating virtual worlds like games, we don't need to be acquired by Kechuang Bio.

Judging from Zheng Li and Kechuang Bio's public image, even if you reject their investment, they won't use that as a reason to make things difficult for us.

Chen Chi is 1.8 meters tall and weighs 200 kilograms, which is quite imposing.

Although the office was large, Chen Chi sat in the chair so heavily that he could hardly breathe.

One person alone made the whole office feel a bit crowded.

Chen Ran sighed and said, "Well, the real reason is that we can't refuse."

Didn't you all suspect that there were no investors at all, and that I took out the money myself?

Because the investor has never shown up in all these years, how can someone invest hundreds of millions in a company and then never take care of it?

They don't even care about dividends or business operations.

Now I can tell you, my investor back then was Zheng Li, and now they want to incorporate us into the Kechuang Bio system, and we have no right to refuse.

The reason I previously rejected investments from those companies and investment institutions wasn't just because I didn't want outside interference; the more important reason was that I didn't have that authority.

Chen Chi's eyes, which had been squeezed so tightly by his fat that they were barely visible, were wide open; his eyes had never been so big before.

He hadn't shown this much surprise when Chen Ran told him he'd secured an investment of hundreds of millions of RMB.

"Zheng Li? How do you know him?"

Zheng Li has always been in Suzhou and has never left Suzhou.

There's absolutely no common ground between you two.

That shouldn't be the case.

To them, Zheng Li was like a figure from the distant past; they had only heard of him but never seen him.

It's like when they were just unknown employees at Tencent, and Pony Ma suddenly came up and said he wanted to set up a separate company just for them.

In fact, when Kechuang Bio released the trailer for its virtual reality device, Chen Ran had already guessed Merlin's true identity.

As professionals in the field, we naturally know how far away true virtual reality is from our reach.

As he expected, Li Miaomiao soon called him through some means to discuss the equity transfer and the subsequent appointment of senior executives to work at Chihu Entertainment.

Chen Ran had neither the right nor the ability to refuse.

Unlike Zheng Li, who doesn't interfere with Red Fox Entertainment's operations and only needs to meet his demands, Li Miaomiao has a strong desire for control in her career.
