Reborn as a Hong Kong Tycoon

Chapter 202 Zhonghe Game Company
"Alan, there is something I want to ask for your opinion and listen to your opinion."

Phil Smith said to Lin Baicheng solemnly.

"You said."

Lin Baicheng was a little puzzled, what did Phil Smith mean by being so serious.

"That's right, I also want to make games and start a game company, what do you think?"

Phil Smith asked cautiously, Galaxy Games is so profitable, of course he also thought about starting a game company, but he didn't want to break up with Lin Baicheng because of this, so as to lose the exclusive agency rights.

You know, being the exclusive agent of Galaxy Games is very profitable, and this is a tangible benefit.And if you start a game company, there is no guarantee that you will make money, and even if you can make money, it's hard to say how much you can make, so of course he doesn't want to lose a lot because of a small one.

"This is your freedom, Smith, of course I have no objection."

Lin Baicheng was not angry. After all, he and Phil Smith were just a cooperative relationship. It was normal for the other party to see making money from making games and want to enter this industry.The game industry has never been short of opponents, and he doesn't think that the game company Phil Smith just established will become an opponent of Galaxy Games, so he naturally has no objection to Phil Smith's entry into this industry.

Phil Smith couldn't help but said: "Allen, you won't stop giving the game to me as an agent because of this?"

"If Smith is worried about this, then don't worry, this will never happen, and our cooperation will continue."

Lin Baicheng immediately gave Phil Smith a reassurance that changing to a new agent might affect the sales of arcade machines, and he would definitely not do it for no reason.

"Then I will thank you, Allen first."

Phil Smith was overjoyed when he heard the words, and then said: "Alan, Thomas, do you want to contribute some money, how about we start a game company together?"

"Goldman Sachs is more than happy to contribute if Allen is willing to participate."

Wade Thomas looked at Lin Baicheng and said, Phil Smith had informed him of this matter before it happened, but he would not have confidence in establishing a game company without Lin Baicheng's participation, so Goldman Sachs was willing to take a stake only if Lin Baicheng participated.

Seeing the two looking at him, Lin Baicheng had no choice but to say: "Smith, Thomas, you should know that I have my own game company, and I have a lot of business. It is impossible to spend energy to develop another game company."

Phil Smith immediately said: "Alan, what's the matter? After the company is established, you don't need to manage it. You only need to give some advice on game development."

"Yes."

Wade Thomas nodded in agreement.

Lin Baicheng did not immediately agree, but asked, "Smith, do you also want to make arcade games?"

"That's right."

Phil Smith didn't deny it.

"Compared to the arcade market, I am actually more optimistic about video games, which is the market brought by the Atari VCS."

Lin Baicheng said: "So, if you want to establish a game company, then don't enter the arcade market, but only do game software research and development, and then sell it through the Atari VCS platform."

Phil Smith frowned slightly: "The Atari VCS platform is a bit too small."

"Alan, there should be more market for arcade machines."

Wade Thomas also said that looking at it now, the arcade market is much bigger than the video game market.

"In my opinion, video games will be the development trend of the game market in the future."

Lin Baicheng felt that it was necessary to reveal to the two: "To be honest, Xinghe Games is also developing its own game console, and its main business will turn to this in the future. It is true that there are still more people playing arcade machines, but I believe that, There will be more people playing video games in the future, because video games can be played at home instead of going to game halls.”

"That's true."

Wade Thomas nodded thoughtfully, it seemed that it would be more convenient.

"Alan, do you think this is okay?"

Phil Smith thought for a while and said: "After the establishment of the game company, the company still developed arcade games at the beginning, but instead of making finished products by itself, it only developed the software part, and entrusted Xinghe Games to produce the finished products. After Xinghe Games' host comes out, if If the sales are really good, how about the company switch to developing console games?"

"fair enough."

Lin Baicheng nodded. The reason why he agreed to set up such a game company together is also for the console to have an additional game content manufacturer in the future.

Although the host of Galaxy Games will review the games developed by game content manufacturers, not all games can be released on the host of Galaxy Games, but the more manufacturers, the better.After all, only a large enough number of manufacturers can select high-quality games.

"Alan, since you don't object, then it's settled."

Phil Smith immediately said that with the participation of Lin Baicheng, a person who has developed an excellent development in the game industry, this company believes that there is a lot to do.

Lin Baicheng asked aloud, "How are the shares distributed?"

"Alan, how about your 40%?"

For this game company, Lin Baicheng seems to be the most important at present, so Lin Baicheng's shareholding must not be less, otherwise Lin Baicheng will definitely not pay too much attention, and it would be meaningless to invite him to establish this company together.

"Okay, I have no problem."

Lin Baicheng nodded, % of the shareholding ratio is already quite a lot.

"I own 35% and Goldman Sachs 25%. Is that okay?"

Phil Smith looked at Wade Thomas. Among the three parties, Goldman Sachs is actually dispensable, because both Lin Baicheng and Phil Smith lack the capital to establish a company.

"I think it is enough for Goldman Sachs to hold 20% of the shares, and I am willing to contribute 5% to work with you."

Wade Thomas smiled and said that the possibility of success of this company is still very high, so Wade Thomas is willing to pay some money to become a minority shareholder.

Both Lin Baicheng and Phil Smith did not object to Wade Thomas making profits for himself. The development and growth of the company also harmed the interests of Goldman Sachs, and had nothing to do with them.Goldman Sachs holds 20% of the shares. When you need Goldman Sachs for help, these shares are enough for Goldman Sachs to help, not less than 5% of the shares.

Afterwards, the three of them discussed the name of the company and decided to call it Zhonghe Game Company.

The registered capital of the company is 1000 million US dollars, and each contributes according to the shareholding ratio.

Lin Baicheng wanted to invest 400 million U.S. dollars, which was a trivial matter to him, and he didn't take it seriously at all.

The day-to-day management of the company is handed over to Phil Smith, and Lin Baicheng only needs to make some suggestions on the development of the game, which is an agreement.Lin Baicheng is not required to do things like setting up a company, finding an office space, recruiting people, etc.
