Chapter 64 Lao Wang didn’t understand and was just speechless!
"What I want is not for you to change, but for you to keep on keeping on!"
“The style must not change!”
"No one can move, including you!"
“This model is so precious!”
Zhou Yizhou opened his mouth, completely speechless.
He has lived for more than 30 years and has never heard of an acquirer operating in this way.
"So, Mr. Lu...are you really willing to spend seven million...to buy our stall?"
"It's a must."
Lu Ming nodded seriously.
"And after the acquisition, our first step was not to change the project or replace the engine."
"Instead, we'll revive Bullet Time as it was, reskin it, and put it back on the shelves!"
"Of course, this is all later, let's not talk about it today!"
"From now on, just focus on making games and keep the same style as before."
"Leave the rest...to me."
After saying this, he stretched out his hand.
"Seven million. The payment will be made tomorrow."
"If you're willing to sign, the contract can be signed today."
"Mr. Zhou, I'm not a patient person."
Zhou Yizhou stared at him blankly, not daring to shake hands for a moment.
His first feeling was that talking about business was so simple!
If all his previous business was done by people like Mr. Lu, his company would not have gone bankrupt!
"You are such a...good person..."
Lu Ming smiled, his eyes shining brightly.
"It's not that I'm bad, it's that you guys have so much potential."
"To be honest, I made a profit by acquiring your company!"
Earn money?
Where is the profit?
Zhou Yizhou felt the disparity in the world.
He was stunned for a long time, but finally reached out and gently held Lu Ming's hand.
"Then...sign it."
"Signed."
Bang!
There was a crisp high-five, and the contract was signed quickly.
Printing, signing and stamping were all done in one go, with such efficiency that it seemed as if both parties were afraid that the other would regret it.
"Mr. Zhou, congratulations on officially becoming a member of Whale Leap Game!"
Lu Ming patted his shoulder.
"You will continue to work in Qiantang from now on. You don't need to worry about money. Just report your progress to me every month!"
"Zhanhuo Liantian has been transformed into a dedicated studio under Jingyue, on the same level as the project team behind "氪命修仙"!"
"We also have dedicated finance and human resources personnel to assist you with your work!"
"Of course, don't worry, we will never interfere with your game creation!"
"From now on, you just need to keep an eye on everyone and make sure they maintain their previous style!"
"Don't try to change! Change is miserable! You get the idea!"
“I understand, I understand…”
Zhou Yizhou's mouth twitched, and his mentality had not yet switched from "we are finished" to "we are getting better".
After signing, it was already late.
Lu Ming suggested treating Zhou Yizhou and several core employees to a midnight snack.
Everyone declined in unison: "Really, no need... Really, no need..."
Finally, Lu Ming made a strong decision.
"Then let's go! Let's have a farewell dinner, oh no, a start-of-work dinner!"
As a result, five minutes later, a group of people stood on the side of the road, facing the few small restaurants that had closed down, and fell into silence.
"Don't you guys in Qiantang have a late-night snack culture?"
Lu Ming looked at the small stir-fry shop with a yellowed sign and lingering smoke, feeling a little confused.
"Well, yes, there is... but we have to go downtown."
Zhou Yizhou's face turned slightly red.
"Our area is mainly composed of office buildings, and people leave after get off work..."
Finally, they had a quick meal at a place called "Veteran BBQ".
Lu Ming ordered some skewers with butter and other ingredients. The portions were small and he could not chew half of it.
As he ate, he sighed:
“It’s truly a food desert.”
"But today's deal is worth it!"
After dinner, Lin Xiaoxiao and her team stayed behind to handle the subsequent acquisition handover.
Lu Ming picked up the briefcase containing the signed documents, took a taxi to the airport, and started his journey back to Shanghai.
The night in Qiantang deepened and the taxi taillights disappeared in the distance.
Lu Ming leaned against the car window, unable to hide his smile.
"Seven million, all spent."
"Not only did I spend seven million, but I also ended up with a team of bad review treasure hunters. This wave is a sure win."
“A perfect ending.”
…
The next day, the sun was shining brightly.
As soon as Lu Ming entered the company, he exuded a sense of high spirits.
When Mr. Wang from Finance saw him, he was full of admiration.
"Mr. Lu, you really... really spent all your money."
"Not a single piece more."
Lu Ming raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"I even paid for the train ticket myself."
"Are you trying to say that there's no money in the company account again?"
"It's okay, wait until tomorrow!"
The corners of Lao Wang's mouth twitched. He didn't say anything, but an idea became more and more firm in his heart.
Mr. Lu is really not an ordinary person.
"Who would do such a thing?" Lao Wang complained silently in his heart.
"You're so happy about buying a crappy game company with your own money?"
"Either they are rich second generation or crazy."
He looked up at Lu Ming, who was pouring coffee and humming a little tune, with a very complicated expression.
"Maybe even... he's a senior rich second generation."
Isn't this the same as his usual fantasy of being rich and buying two cups of soy milk and drinking one and pouring the other?
But now they have two companies.
Every time I open a store, it fails.
As Lao Wang was thinking, he felt a little pain in his teeth.
But before he could recover, the incident had already caused an uproar in the industry.
Ten o'clock in the morning.
A piece of explosive news suddenly appeared in the gaming circle
[Whale Leap Games acquires "Zhan Huo Lian Tian" for 7 million. The purchase price has been received!]
As soon as this news came out, the entire gaming community exploded.
Many people’s first reaction is:
War is raging? Where does this company come from?
The second reaction is:
First check the information, and see,
Oh! Is that the one that made Bullet Time and then pulled it shortly after it launched?
The third reaction is:
Are you crazy?? Acquiring a company like this??
You have this money, why don’t you look at me?
The comment section instantly turned into a large-scale complaint square:
"Huh? Who did Jingyue acquire? Zhan Huo Lian Tian? I played their game Bullet Time for less than ten minutes before uninstalling it. Seriously, when I opened it, I thought I'd traveled back to the year 2000."
"Seven million? Seven! Million!? I suspect they were out of their minds when they bought it, and the quality of the water might not be very good."
"These days, even in wartime, there are still people wanting to invest. Can I also set up a company to defraud investors?"
"Other companies have a flood of negative reviews, but Zhanhuotian has them turning into spirits. Why would a company like this take them back? Are they trying to raise a poison?"
"Let's be honest, is Jingyue really that powerful? They only have two games of their own right now!"
"Is the payout ratio in 'Kryptonian Cultivation' really that high? Whale Leap has been quite active lately!"
"A turtle looking at a green bean? Maybe Jingyue has something on the other side!"
“I think it’s very possible!”
No matter how others mock it, this wave of acquisitions has directly made Jingyue the headlines in the gaming circle.
Lu Ming himself was leisurely drinking coffee in the office with a smile on his face.
He was not angry at all, and even pulled Lao Wang to watch the news together.
"Look, Lao Wang, these people who don't understand the game are cursing again."
Lao Wang didn't understand and was just speechless.
In fact, deep down, he also hates the rich!
