Reborn Xiangjiang as a Tycoon

Chapter 282 Rejection of Share Exchange Proposal

The next morning, Lin Baicheng took Haruko Mouri, Nanako Chiba, and Wataru Sato to Taito Co., Ltd.

Nanako Chiba and Wataru Sato were assistants that Lin Baicheng later recruited to assist Haruko Mori in managing Lin Baicheng's assets in Japan. Both of them were graduates from prestigious schools, and they were not very old. Among them, Nanako Chiba was

Female, Sato Wataru is male.

"Mr. Lin, long time no see!"

The person who personally entertained Lin Baicheng and his party this time was Mikhail Kogan, the president of Taitung Co., Ltd.

"Long time no see, Mr. Mikhail!"

Lin Baicheng shook hands with Mikhail, and then looked at another acquaintance, Akio Nakanishi: "And Nakanishi-san, I haven't congratulated you on your promotion yet." Today, Akio Nakanishi is the president of Taito Co., Ltd.

.

"Thank you Lin Sang!"

Akio Nakanishi was very happy about being promoted to president.

After a few polite exchanges, the conversation got down to business.

Mikhail said: "Mr. Lin, I invite you to come here this time because I have important cooperation that I want to discuss with you."

"Please tell me."

Lin Baicheng gestured.

"Mr. Lin, you must also know about our company's "Space Invaders" game, right?"

Mikhail asked aloud, and when Lin Baicheng nodded, he continued: "It's like this. The sales of this game in Japan are very good, so the company is preparing to open the international market for this game. And in the international market, currently

Taidong only has channels in the United States, and not many channels in other countries, so we want to use Galaxy Games’ channels to promote this arcade game to the world.”

Even though Galaxy Games has only been established for about a year, the company has developed several popular games in succession, so it has agent channels in most countries around the world.

As for Taito Co., Ltd., although it was established earlier, it does not have many popular games. It does not have a big market in the United States, let alone exploring markets outside the United States.

This time is different. "Space Invaders" is very popular in Japan. Taito Co., Ltd. tentatively released some machines in the United States, and the response has been excellent. Therefore, it is no surprise that this game will also become a big hit in the United States.

As a result, Taitung Co., Ltd. naturally wanted to explore broader markets such as Europe and South America, but the company had no channels, so it thought of Galaxy Games Company.

Lin Baicheng knows that "Space Invaders" is a classic game that is not inferior to "Pac-Man" and "Tank Wars". The emergence of this game will more or less compete with several games of Galaxy Games. Fortunately, the game types are different.

, the competition is not big, otherwise Taidong Co., Ltd. would not be able to ask Lin Baicheng for help.

"In principle, I have no problem, but these channels were established by Galaxy Games with great difficulty, so I have to charge a channel fee."

Lin Baicheng is not opposed to helping, but he will never agree to help in vain.

"This is as it should be."

Mikhail had no objection to this. He said: "Let the people below discuss the specific costs."

"good."

Lin Baicheng nodded, as it should be. The people below can still come forward if the negotiation is not reached. If the two of them negotiate in person from the beginning, if they cannot reach an agreement, there will be almost no possibility of further negotiation.

Mikhail said: "One more thing is that we hope that Taitung Co., Ltd. can strengthen cooperation with Galaxy Games and join forces."

"How to strengthen cooperation law?"

Lin Baicheng asked curiously.

"Mutual shareholding, Taitung Co., Ltd. and Galaxy Games hold 5% to 10% of each other's shares, and give the other company a directorship to strengthen the cooperation between the two companies."

For Galaxy Games, a company that was only established for one year, Mikhail didn't pay much attention to it at first. However, as this company has continuously developed a number of popular games, it is now stronger than Taito Co., Ltd.

, Mikhail was naturally tempted and wanted to obtain a certain equity stake in this company.

"Thank you Mr. Mikhail for your attention, but Galaxy Games is currently implementing a big plan, and it is not suitable to introduce other shareholders for the time being, so I can only say sorry."

Lin Baicheng thought about it for a while and chose to shake his head and refuse. The reason why he considered it was just to save some face for Taitung Co., Ltd., so he just pretended to consider it. In fact, he had never thought about giving up the shares at all, because giving up the shares now would not be good for him.

It's such a loss.

Akio Nakanishi immediately said: "Lin Sang, even if our two companies hold shares in each other, it will not affect your control of the company. The plan formulated by the company can continue to be implemented."

Mikhail agreed: "Just like Mr. Lin, you can't interfere with Taidong's operations if you hold shares in Taidong, Taidong can't interfere with the operations of Galaxy Games Company. Strengthening the cooperation between the two companies will be beneficial to both you and me.

of."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Mikhail, the Galaxy Games plan has reached a critical moment, so I can only say sorry."

Lin Baicheng still refused, but then he said: "However, Galaxy Game Company will choose to go public in a few years, and a lot of shares will definitely be released by then. If Taitung Co., Ltd. is interested in cooperating, it can be based on the mutual agreement.

A certain proportion of the market value will be exchanged for shares.”

Although Taitung Co., Ltd. will decline in the future, if Lin Baicheng intervenes, the future of Taitung Co., Ltd. is likely to change. In addition, Taitung has a lot of talents, and there is no harm in obtaining a certain proportion of Taitung's shares.

"Since you said so, Mr. Lin, let's talk about it when the time comes."

Mikhail was a little regretful, but he had no choice but to give up. After all, there was nothing he could do if the other party did not want to exchange shares to strengthen cooperation.

"Okay, we'll talk about it then."

Lin Baicheng nodded, knowing in his heart that this matter would also be impossible to negotiate by then.

The reason is very simple. When Galaxy Games goes public, its market value will inevitably be more than five times the market value of Taitung Co., Ltd. If the shares are exchanged at that time, 5% of the shares of Galaxy Games can be exchanged for at least 25% of Taitung Co., Ltd.

shares.

In this case, it makes no sense for Taito Co., Ltd. to hold too few shares of Galaxy Games. If it holds more, the shares it gives up will inevitably be too many, which will affect the company's control.

It is impossible for Mikhail to agree to give up control of the company for a small amount of shares in Galaxy Games. You know, he has not listed Taitung Co., Ltd., which shows how much he values ​​the control of the company.

If Galaxy Games hadn't been developing very fast, Mikhail would never have proposed a share s

Regarding the cost of Taito Co., Ltd. borrowing the channels of Galaxy Games, Lin Baicheng left it to Mouri Haruko and the three of them to discuss it. He only needed to know about it then.
