The news feedback was very fast. Although there was a time difference, the people at the headquarters started to operate at a very fast speed.

Just as Nintendo headquarters was trying to deal with it, Lin Ping had already met DC's shareholders.

There were three people who met Lin Ping, one of whom was headed by a gray-haired elderly person.

The other two people are very young, probably around 25 years old, while the other looks 40 years old.

The three people worked together to hold 20% of the shares. Originally, Lin Ping's strategy was to hope that Liu would defeat them one by one. Then sign a confidentiality agreement with each person to ensure that no one was acquiring DC.

However, these three people come from three different families, and the three families have been investing in various projects together for many years. They have always been a choice of advancement and retreat together. They make money together and bear together if they have money.

When Liu Dacheng contacted one of the people, the other two naturally got the news. They defeated them one by one, but they didn't work for these three people. They could only deal with them at one time and talked about the three people as one person.

"I thought they were those people on Wall Street again. Unexpectedly, the company behind the acquisition of DC this time was actually from Asia. And it was also the famous upstart of EA Game Company, Mr. Lin Ping of EA Game Company." The young man who recognized Lin Ping at a glance was not the young man present, but the oldest old man.

According to normal logic, young people like game consoles and are likely to recognize Lin Ping.

However, who would have thought that the one who recognized Lin Ping was actually an octogenarian?

"In the investment industry, we are still newcomers. If you have any mistakes, I hope that seniors like you will give me some tips and corrections." Lin Ping did not continue to talk about his identity as the founder of his game company, but instead appointed himself a new identity investor.

Lin Ping does not want to connect today's secret acquisition with his own game company.

If this is the case, the price will rise.

If Lin Ping just wants to invest a little money in this animation company, then the quotations of both parties will be controlled within a very reasonable range.

After Lin Ping said this, the young man said bluntly after knowing the identity of the person in front of him: "Is it just an investment? Why do I think your company wants to acquire this animation company in order to buy all the copyrights and then use it for game development and launch new game content.

After all, this animation company is very influential in the market, and every character in the animation company has a certain audience.

If it is used to make a game, it will save a lot of advertising costs and can gain recognition from global consumers as quickly as possible.

Even those comic fans finally have the opportunity to transform into their favorite heroes to eliminate violence and maintain good fortune."

After all, it is a negotiation. Even if Lin Ping does not have this idea, the negotiation opponent will forcefully put this hat on Lin Ping's head.

Because only in this way can we add more premium space to this acquisition.

For investors like them, no matter what your buyer’s real purpose is, they ultimately want to sell at the highest price possible, because only in this way can it be in line with the businessman’s investment logic.

If you invest not to make a lot of money, why bother to make yourself tired like a dog?

"Good idea, this idea is very good. I think this gentleman has the potential to be a game planner in our company. Just based on your idea just now, I will give you an annual salary of 500,000 US dollars per year." The other party put a hat on himself, and Lin Ping didn't want to admit his ultimate goal just like this.

Anyway, nine of the 10 sentences on the negotiating table are lies, and Lin Ping didn't care whether these people believed their words and said them casually.

"So, if I don't have any income in the future, I can still make a living in your company." The young man did not continue to be aggressive, because when he threw out his argument, whether Lin Ping accepted it or not, the price increase space had been opened.

"Very welcome!" After a brief verbal confrontation, everyone sat down one after another.

When he sat down, the middle-aged man gave his own offer directly without any delay.

"We have 20% of the shares in our hands, and if your company wants to acquire it, it will cost at least 20%.

If your company thinks that we have too many stocks, we can introduce other shareholders to Mr. Lin.

Of course, with Mr. Lin's financial resources, taking over 20% of the stocks we have is just a small investment for your company. I heard that your company purchased Motorola's 10 billion US dollars chips through Panasonic Group.

Such a large order volume is like the sun and the stars compared to our 20% stocks.

The three of us don’t want much. The company trades at a valuation of US$2 billion. Mr. Lin only needs to pay 400 million US dollars to get these 20% of the stocks. "This sentence shows two meanings, and the first meaning means that the three people advance and retreat together.

The second meaning is to see Lin Ping’s final acquisition intention.

After all, I just want to buy a little stock for investment, or do I want to secretly acquire this company?

If it were just a little investment, today's negotiations would not meet at all.

Since he has come, it means that Lin Ping still has a very strong interest in acquiring the entire animation company.

However, another possibility cannot be ruled out, that is, for Lin Ping, 20% of the stocks are just a little investment.

After all, Lin Ping made a large order to buy a chip of US$10 billion in one go. For such a person, 400 million US dollars is really not a big investment.

No matter what the other party’s purpose is, at least it proves that the other party has sufficient financial ability.

Negotiating with such a big boss will definitely not be so red-faced with everyone for hundreds of thousands or millions.

When Lin Ping got the other party's offer, he looked back at Lawyer Liu Dacheng.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Then slowly turned your head and smiled at the three people, saying, "I don't know what position you have taken or what kind of information you have obtained from what channels to judge that your stock is worth 400 million US dollars.

As one of the top large companies in the industry, DC is indeed worthy of a high market value. However, a valuation of 2 billion US dollars is obviously not suitable. Our company believes that this valuation is too high, and it can even be said to be ridiculously high.

Do you still remember a news a few days ago that Disney wanted to value my company by 15 billion US dollars.

My thought at that time was that Disney was simply insulting me. How could my company be worth such a small valuation? But I just signed a super big order of $10 billion. If I could get my company for 15 billion, it would probably become the most funny acquisition in business history.

Later I gave a valuation of 35 billion US dollars, but Disney and Wall Street's major consortiums retreated instantly.

If you think this company has a market value of US$2 billion and is reasonable, I am afraid that the stocks you have already sold out, and I will not wait for me to come here from as far away as Asia to acquire them."

It was obvious that Lin Ping refused very simply.

The valuation of 400 million US dollars of 2 billion cannot be accepted no matter what.

The three of them did not show any dissatisfaction with Lin Ping's rejection.

Obviously, they also expected a valuation of US$2 billion, which Lin Ping could not accept.

Since it is a negotiation, it is naturally required to have come and go.

"With the current market valuation of DC animation, how much should be considered reasonable?" the young man looked at Lin Ping and asked.

"Our company has given a quote before, and I think the valuation is very reasonable. This time I came to New York to participate in the Consumer Electronics Show, not to complete the acquisition, but to fly to New York to meet everyone.

For our company, it is naturally the best to be able to invest. If the final deal cannot be reached, we can change to another company to continue investing. Anyway, investment is to make money. What industry is investing in? What kind of company? As long as you can make money, it is good." Lin Ping was very casual when answering this question, looking dispensable.

Looking at Lin Ping's attitude, the three of them communicated with each other through their eyes.

After another person said this, the three of them must have thought that they were pretending to behave in order to ultimately just want to lower the price.

But this is quite intimidating to Lin Ping.

Indeed, the Consumer Electronics Exhibition is about to start, and many people in this city know this. After all, whether it is paper media, radio broadcasts, or even television media, they have been bombarding the world these days.

Even advertisements are printed on the bus, so it is difficult not to notice them.

This consumer electronics exhibition is crucial to Lin Ping's company, and it is understandable that he will attend the exhibition.

And when you participate in the exhibition, you can complete an investment in a short time, it sounds like there is no loophole.

It was a little difficult for three people to deal with for a while.

The three of them are naturally dissatisfied with the valuation of US$1 billion.

However, the other party would not accept the valuation of US$2 billion.

Then just give it a break?

"Since that's the case, let's take a step back and make friends with Mr. Lin. If Mr. Lin can accept the company's trading at a valuation of 1.5 billion US dollars, we can transfer the stock to your hands at any time." After some eye contact, the middle-aged man gave a quote.

For middle-aged people, there is another purpose for him to appear here today.

I just want to know who is buying DC Animation’s stock behind the scenes.

What they are most worried about is that they are swallowed up by the capital behind Marvel.

If DC is acquired by Marvel's behind the scenes boss, it will be a fatal blow to the company.

Fortunately, Lin Ping's company has no connection with Marvel.

Even if he sells the company's stock to him, he should be considered a good strategic partner.

If DC introduces EA Games as a strategic partner, then DC's copyrights will be magnified.

In the capital market, two things investors value most.

The first is the company's performance, because this really reflects the company's current revenue capabilities.

The second is the company's future planning and profit growth space. To put it simply, it is the ability to tell stories. Whether the stories that can be told will make everyone believe it, make everyone feel that this is true and easy to achieve.

If EA Games Company is introduced, EA Games Company can develop all copyrights of DC. This time people are not worried that the copyright will be expanded by other companies, DC will not have substantial profits.

Because EA Games Company holds shares in DC stocks, DC makes money and EA companies will also gain benefits. This is a good thing to win both ways. During negotiations, it will not narrowly shift profits to one side.

Moreover, Taihang Holdings, the parent company behind EA, also holds a stake in Datang Group, which has made drastic efforts in the real estate market, and this Datang Group will build many new commercial centers around the world.

Once cinemas such as commercial centers are spread all over the world, and the number of screens is enough to form a scale.

Then DC's adapted movie can be played smoothly across the world through this line.

Although DC's adapted movies are supported by Hollywood channels, there is no need to worry about being screened in other theaters.

But who would dislike the many theaters that have been released?

1,000 more screens means a large amount of box office revenue.

The number of global screens that Datang Group wants to build seems to be more than 1,000 yuan per scene.

On the original basis, this is equivalent to an increase in box office revenue by at least 50%.

At that time, DC companies didn't have to worry about not being able to recover the cost of the invested movies or even losing money.
