NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 9
“”Everyone, be quiet.” Su Chengyang shouted. The noisy and talking voices suddenly quieted down.
Su Chengyang smiled and said,”As you can see, behind me is 100 million US dollars, which has just been withdrawn from the bank. This money is the bonus prepared by the company to reward everyone’s hard work during this period. When your name is called, come up to receive it. I hope everyone will receive it in an orderly manner.”
After that, Su Chengyang signaled Jason to go on stage to present the awards.
All the employees present at the meeting were completely excited.
100 million US dollars, if divided equally, means that each person can get more than 2.7 million US dollars.
With such a large sum of money, you can buy an apartment in New York.
You can buy more than 10 Porsche 911s.
Thinking of this, everyone cheered and shouted
“”Long live the boss!”
Jason was also surprised. He didn’t expect Su Chengyang to take out 100 million US dollars as a reward. This was worthy of the impression of the boss who was generous and domineering.
When the people whose names were called out really said more than 2 million US dollars, the atmosphere on the scene became completely boiling.
Soon the money was distributed. Except for Jason, almost everyone received no less than 2.7 million US dollars.
There was a thick pile of money around them, and few people were in the mood to sit down and eat, so the dinner ended early.
When leaving the Hilton Hotel, Su Chengyang took out a check and handed it to Jason:”This check has 10 million US dollars. It’s your bonus.”
“”Thank you, boss!”
Jason received it happily.
Looking at Jason with a happy face, Su Chengyang smiled and patted his shoulder:”Things with Blizzard and Netflix must be dealt with as soon as possible. I will return to Longguo in a few days.”
Before leaving, Su Chengyang hoped to finalize these two things so as to avoid having to come to the United States again.
November 15th.
Jason brought good news. After intensive negotiations, Vivendi agreed to sell their 52% of Activision Blizzard shares for US$3.1 billion. Upon receiving the news, Su Chengyang immediately went with Jason and flew to Silicon Valley, California, which is the headquarters of Activision Blizzard, to negotiate with Vivendi and sign the contract.
Because the two parties had communicated well in the early stage, the process of signing the equity transfer contract was very smooth. For Vivendi at the moment, it is in urgent need of funds to tide over the difficulties.
“Congratulations, Su, you made a lot of money on this acquisition.”
After signing the transfer contract, Bruce Hanke, president of Vivendi, said with a painful look on his face:”You know, Activision Blizzard is definitely worth more than this price.”
Nonsense, if it is worth this price, what else would I buy?
Su Chengyang, who was complaining in his heart, said with a smile:”Bruce, as you said, Activision Blizzard may have potential, but that is a matter for the future, isn’t it?”
“For you, Vidiwang, the most urgent thing is how to get through this damn subprime mortgage crisis.
Bruce shrugged and said,”Su, you are right. God bless you. Let this financial crisis pass as soon as possible.”
“Soon, governments of all countries have intervened personally.”Su Chengyang said casually.
After chatting with Bruce Hank for a few more words, the two sides reached a deal, and Bruce left in a hurry, agreeing to transfer the money to Vidiwang’s account within ten days, so that the deal was truly completed.
As long as the contract is signed, it is basically impossible to escape. Even if Vidiwang regrets it now, it will not work unless Su Chengyang fails to raise enough money within the specified time, and this possibility is very small, because Su Chengyang has plenty of money now.
“Boss, do you want to notify the company meeting?”
Jason, who accompanied Su Chengyang to participate in this transaction, asked
“Don’t worry.”
Su Chengyang shook his head. He had only signed the transaction contract and had not yet paid the money. Strictly speaking, he was not yet the controlling shareholder or big boss of Activision Blizzard.
“Let’s go to Riot Games first.”
Riot Games is also in California. He came here by chance, so he naturally had to take a look at the company he had acquired two years ago, and also check out the development progress of the game”League of Legends”.
In this life, due to Su Chengyang’s intervention, Riot Games did not raise funds, so naturally Penguin Games could not become an investment shareholder, let alone obtain the agency rights for the national service.
“You don’t have to follow me. Go and deal with Vivendi first, mobilize funds, and complete the payment as soon as possible.”
Such a big deal requires a lot of details to be communicated.
Su Chengyang turned around and said something to Jason, then left the scene, taking Liao Haidong and Fang Jinwu to Riot Games.
Two hours later, they arrived at Riot Games in West Los Angeles.
A five-story building
“Boss, why are you here?”
After receiving the notification from the front desk, the two founders of Riot, Mark Merrill and Brandon Baker, the current general manager and project development manager, came to greet him.
Speaking of which, they were both in finance before, and after making some money, they gave up their high-paying jobs in finance and switched to making games.
Now they each hold 5% of the shares. Although there are only a few shares left, their wealth has increased. They are now multi-million dollar millionaires.
“Came here to do some work, came to take a look”
“How is the game going? When will it be launched?”
Su Chengyang came to the company’s meeting room, drank a sip of water, sat on the chair, and looked at the two with a smile.
