Great country technology, I have a system where hard work pays off!

"This…" Hearing Chairman Ma Huateng's decision, COO Ren Yu Ting couldn't help but frown slightly.

He was very optimistic about several games from South Korea, believing that if those games could enter the Chinese market, they would definitely become a hit.

For example, "Dungeon \u0026 Fighter" developed by a South Korean game company, "Alliance of Valiant Arms (A.V.A.)", and "Aion"…

Although South Korea is a small country, they possess many excellent games that are the envy of others.

Now, Tencent was going to squeeze out funds to acquire Wanxiang Internet Cafe Software, planning to acquire those South Korean games that have already been released or are being developed when they have money in the second half of the year.

This would undoubtedly increase the risk of Tencent losing the rights to distribute those games, so it naturally made Ren Yu Ting feel a little headache.

However, compared to losing the distribution rights to South Korean games, Ren Yu Ting didn't want to face the situation where Geek Internet Cafe Software dominated the internet cafe market, posing a fatal crisis to Tencent.

So, after thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said:

"I agree."

Hearing that CEO Ren Yu Ting had agreed, and coupled with the fact that it was Ma Huateng who made the decision to divert funds to acquire Wanxiang Internet Cafe Software.

The meeting room was naturally filled with continuous sounds of agreement.

Thus, with the agreement of the people present, Tencent would squeeze out funds to acquire Wanxiang Internet Cafe Software.

Then, the plan to unite the internet cafe market with Shenchuan Diskless Servers was officially passed, and Geek Computer's development and rise strategy was about to be severely impacted.

Of course, acquiring Wanxiang Internet Cafe Software was not something that could be accomplished in a short period.

After all, although the current Wanxiang Internet Cafe Software looks a bit like a setting sun.

It must be admitted that their current installation base of internet cafe software is indeed several times that of Geek Internet Cafe Software!

Therefore, the price that Tencent would have to pay to acquire Wanxiang Internet Cafe Software would definitely not be low, at least several hundred million yuan!

So, Tencent and Wanxiang Internet Cafe Software Company would eventually have to haggle, and during their haggling time, it would be a rare golden development time for Geek Computer Company.

Every other day, staff scattered across the country would install Geek Diskless Servers and Geek Internet Cafe Software for hundreds of internet cafes.

So, the current Geek Computer Company is really racing against time. Every extra day will make Geek Computer Company's future foundation more solid.

But unfortunately, Wanxiang Internet Cafe being acquired by Tencent is almost an inevitable fact.

Because they, themselves, know their own situation.

Geek Internet Cafe Software is frantically eroding their market share every day. With each passing day, their bargaining power with Tencent weakens.

Under such great pressure, when the string in their hearts breaks, they will naturally accept Tencent's acquisition price.

After all, compared to being squeezed out of the market and going bankrupt by Geek Internet Cafe Software, it is better to take the funds from Tencent's acquisition and use them to start another business or enjoy life.

So, in essence, the acquisition of Wanxiang Internet Cafe Software Company by Tencent is already an inevitable fact!

…

On the other side.

While Tencent was planning how to acquire Wanxiang Internet Cafe Software Company, Geek Computer, or rather Gao Nian, was also planning how to acquire Sound of Music Comics.

Although the current Sound of Music Comics has not yet reached the market position it would have in a few years, their sales growth is very considerable.

Currently, they can sell 240,000 copies of comics every month. According to this sales growth trend, it is possible to break through 500,000 copies per month in a year.

Therefore, acquiring Sound of Music Comics is not an easy task.

But no matter how difficult it is, you still have to try!

So, while Tencent was negotiating the acquisition of Wanxiang Internet Cafe Software Company, Geek Computer Company was also conducting acquisition negotiations with Sound of Music Comics.

And time passed slowly like this, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

When the time was approaching the beginning of February 2008, Geek Computer Company finally reached a consensus with Sound of Music Comics first.

The Gao Bai Combination Studio and Geek Computer Company directly acquired 100% of the equity of Sound of Music Comics!

Among them, the one who contributed the funds and held the majority share was naturally Geek Computer Company.

Geek Computer Company spent a total of 8 million, while Gao Bai Combination Studio only contributed 1 million yuan.

As for why it cost so much to acquire Sound of Music Comics, instead of just controlling 51% of the shares.

The reason is that the management team of Sound of Music Comics and the parent company had too many bad operations, and they couldn't keep up at all.

Their vision was sluggish, and it was okay if they couldn't keep up with the development of the times, but later they dared to openly seize the copyrights of cartoonists.

This made the well-known cartoonists of Sound of Music Comics panic, and from then on, they never dared to publish new comics there again, and directly jumped to other comic platforms.

Finally, they also learned the manga axing system from Shueisha, but the ridiculous thing is that they only learned the superficial aspects of the axing system, and did not learn the essence, and ultimately harmed themselves.

Because they would directly and on a large scale forcibly call a halt to those new works due to factors such as unpopularity and disapproval!

As for whether those comics that were forcibly called a halt would be successful?

"The Bond of the Imperial Fox", "Moon Shadow Rule", "Insect King"… many comics that they cut off all became popular after being placed on other platforms!

Under these many jaw-dropping bad operations, they spent several years and successfully played themselves to death!

So, it only took a few years, and Sound of Music Comics, once famous, the third in the world in sales, with monthly sales of 7 million copies of comics, officially announced its cessation of publication.

Gao Nian, who knew the future outcome, would naturally not lead pig teammates to mix, let pig teammates drag down his development speed, and hold him back.

Anyway, what Gao Nian valued was Sound of Music Comics' offline sales channels, the Sound of Music Comics manga magazine platform, and the cute readers who were reading the comics.

Not the management team and parent company of Sound of Music Comics. At this time, it would be great if they were willing to take the money and leave.

As for why it only took a mere 9 million to successfully acquire the famous Sound of Music Comics in the previous life.

This is because the current Sound of Music Comics does not actually have the strength of Sound of Music Comics in later generations.

This Sound of Music Comics was only established in 2006, and it has not been more than two years since its establishment. Although their sales growth trend is very considerable, the current monthly sales have reached 240,000 copies.

But no one can deny that watching pirated Japanese comics is the current market mainstream.

Compared to watching Chinese comics, students now still prefer to watch Japanese comics, which are more exciting in terms of both art style and plot.

This has also led to the fact that Sound of Music Comics has been in a state of slight loss for two years since its establishment.

Because in the past year alone, 2007, Sound of Music Comics lost a full 940,000 yuan!

Therefore, facing Sound of Music Comics, a pit that has caused them to lose money for two consecutive years, and seeing that the local tyrant is willing to take out a high price of 9 million in total, they will naturally be willing to let go.
