I was reborn and stayed in school to lie down. I really don’t want to roll anymore!

"Cooperation is naturally multifaceted! This depends on your ideas, Mr. Jiang."

"If possible, please authorize some of our group's channels, including Wegame channel sales, and co-organize a professional league for this game...etc."

In fact, the cooperation on games is the same over and over again. After all, the actual agency rights are in the hands of Haijing.

The so-called "cooperation" that Mr. Ma is currently talking about is actually nothing in Jiang Hao's eyes.

Even for Tencent, the benefits of this cooperation are insignificant compared to other projects or even the interests of the group.

However, Mr. Ma's next words immediately brought a smile to Jiang Hao's face.

"Mr. Jiang, if you don't mind, I hope to invest in Bluehole and help Bluehole Technology go public."

In the end, the fox's tail was revealed.

I guess the goodwill shown through the LMG club is also intended to negotiate Bluehole's investment.

Tencent Group's consistent policy is to consider acquisition when seeing a game or company with potential.

If the other party does not cooperate, then we will imitate and plagiarize. Compared with Tencent’s earliest point in time, most of the entire group’s business is now a game of capital.

"Mr. Ma, I won't consider Bluehole's financing and investment. Or you can try to get the remaining shares from Samsung."

...

"Mr. Jiang, please think about it. I guarantee you will be satisfied with the price."

"Anyway, Haijing's development strategy is not about games! Even if I invest in Bluehole, the operation of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is still owned by you, Haijing!"

Mr. Ma started a fierce lobbying over the phone. His enthusiastic attitude was even stronger than when he participated in the previous C round of financing of Haijing.

"Mr. Ma, let me be frank. I will not consider raising funds for Bluehole at the moment."

"We are all businessmen. For now, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds still has great potential to be tapped. If you want to invest, you may have to wait for a while."

Jiang Hao's initial firm refusal was just a gesture.

Given Bluehole Technology's current development momentum, if Jiang Hao were to agree to Tencent's investment, not only would the price be difficult to negotiate, but Mr. Ma himself would probably find it strange.

As for actually selling it, Jiang Hao naturally had this in mind.

As far as I can remember, all of Bluehole's games since PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds have been lukewarm, and there has been no talk of business making any progress again.

Looking back at the entire company, I feel that it was more of a matter of luck that we got the game PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.

Jiang Hao's reason for the acquisition at that time was that Bluehole's market valuation was low, so he wanted to maximize the benefits of the acquisition.

The second one is to try to get the PC version of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds in your hands!

But it doesn't mean that he will keep holding the shares of Bluehole. In fact, Jiang Hao hopes that Tencent will be interested.

As the person he had originally booked to take over, Mr. Ma's call helped Jiang Hao to calm down.

As long as he is interested, his current attitude directly determines what strategy Tencent will adopt.

Waiting for time to acquire, or imitating and plagiarizing.

Only the former, slowly selling the company to Tencent when its market value is at its peak, is in Jiang Hao's best interest!

"How long will it take? I can accept a premium."

"A few months, maybe. With the current sales of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, I believe you can see my sincerity in wanting to cooperate with you, Mr. Ma."

In about three or four months, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds will usher in a peak period of game users.

At that time, we will open up and accept Tencent's investment and financing.

After that, the game will be gradually opened as a free game, and when the profit is highest, Bluehole Technology will be transferred to Tencent, and Jiang Hao's interests will be truly maximized.

After all, Bluehole is not as good as miHoYo and cannot become an evergreen in the gaming industry.

"Boss Jiang, I can wait for this time."

Mr. Ma could tell what Jiang Hao meant, which was that he didn't want to raise funds at this time.

Even if he was willing to pay a high premium, it would not meet Jiang Hao's expectations.

It only takes a few months of waiting, but Mr. Ma can still feel the goodwill shown by Jiang Hao.

However, there is more than one reason for investing in Bluehole. Mr. Ma did not continue to speak until this moment.

"I am willing to wait for the financing and shareholding, but there is one thing I hope you can authorize me first, Mr. Jiang."

"Mr. Ma, please tell me."

"Regarding the copyright licensing of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Mobile, I will not hide it from you. Tencent Group plans to focus its main work this year on this mobile game."

It was not until this moment that Jiang Hao fully reacted.

It turns out that the reason why Mr. Ma made the acquisition is not just because of the PC game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds".

I guess you've been eyeing mobile games from the beginning?

Jiang Hao had indeed overlooked this point. He had not really considered mobile games at the beginning.

After all, Tencent in its previous life only had the agency rights for "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds". Even without the authorization for the mobile game, it imitated a similar mobile game and operated it very well.

It was only after the acquisition of Bluehole that the pirated version was changed into the official version.

At the same time, NetEase also developed a similar type of mobile game called Knives Out.

If Jiang Hao remembered correctly, NetEase's speed was faster than Tencent's at that time.

After all, NetEase knew that it would never be able to obtain authorization, so it imitated it so quickly.

If nothing goes wrong, this game should be available on the market in a few days.

Jiang Hao himself acquired Bluehole in order to allow "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" to drive the basic market of Haijing Live.

Each company focuses on different businesses, which leads to different perspectives on things.

At least if Mr. Ma hadn't reminded Jiang Hao today, he would have almost forgotten about the mobile game and would have focused on the live broadcast business that the game itself boosted.

In addition, the company does not have a dedicated gaming business department, so this mobile game, which makes far more money than PC games, is likely to be ignored by him.

Now I finally react.

"Boss Ma, I can authorize you, but how do we talk about profit sharing?"

"Our group's game studio is fully responsible for game development. We account for 80% of all game revenue, and Bluehole accounts for 20%."

It's 80:20. It would be absolutely impossible in other countries.

But in the domestic market environment, it is actually reasonable. After all, whether there is copyright in the country does not hinder the development of similar games.

NetEase will still withdraw from Knives Out. If they want to sue, it’s hard to say whether they will win or not. As they are all big groups, they can just drag it out for a few years and wait for the game to fail before closing the case.

Jiang Hao actually has no confidence in trying to control Tencent in this area.

Fortunately, he agreed to Tencent's investment, otherwise Mr. Ma would probably not have mentioned the matter of mobile game licensing and development to him.

"Mr. Ma, please take a step back. Bluehole will take 25%. After a few months, it is likely that Tencent will acquire the shares, and the game revenue will still be yours."
