Chapter 505: Engine Unification! Cyber Qin Shi Huang!
A moment!
Carter Walker felt that his brain was blank!
But the person sitting in the guest seat was none other than!
It was the president and CEO of Golden Wind Gaming Company——
SamGu!
Gu Sheng!
"Nice to meet you, old friend. Over the past nine months, this difficult problem your company has posed has been quite a headache for me..."
Speaking of.
Then he saw Gu Sheng's hand extended to him.
Carter Walker hurriedly took two steps forward and stretched out his hands to shake hands with him!
It was almost a completely instinctive reaction!
Even though both hands had been handed over, Carter Walker's brain still couldn't catch up.
The boss behind Made in Heaven is actually Golden Wind?!
No wonder.
No wonder an unknown technology investment company would suddenly turn its attention to the gaming industry.
No wonder they still chose to acquire Huanmeng even though everyone is pessimistic about it.
Because Made in Heaven was created by Gu Sheng...
silence.
There was silence in the conference room for five seconds.
Too dramatic.
Carter Walker took a long time to react and even wanted to laugh at this moment.
If no one takes action now, then within half a month, the building of Huanmeng will collapse.
And at this critical moment of life and death.
The ones who extended a helping hand to them were not Yunwei or Konami, who had a closer relationship with Huanmeng.
Instead, it was the golden wind that had been blocked and sanctioned by their dream before!
How could he not smile bitterly at such a dramatic scene?
Although theoretically speaking, the purpose of Golden Wind's so-called "helping hand" this time was very impure, it was almost a hostile takeover, and they were buying up a large number of shares in Huanmeng. Even Leila Capital's 12% stake was taken over by them and put into their pockets.
But no matter what the process is, it will always end up with a result.
The result of this incident was that Golden Wind was willing to lend them a helping hand, save their lives, prevent them from going bankrupt and disbanding, and even -!
“…let your market value stop declining, reverse its course, and get back on the path of a broader upward trend.”
Gu Sheng sat down, crossed his arms, and spoke in a calm tone.
His tone was calm and steady, without any waves.
It seemed as if stopping the dream that had lasted for nine months and reversing the trend was a piece of cake for him.
If it were someone else!
Carter Walker would definitely give him an ambiguous smile, cursing in his heart, "Stop bragging, don't talk about you. Under the current situation, unless the king of heaven comes, no one can reverse the collapse of the dream in a short time."
But now!
The King of Heaven has really come!
Carter Walker is not a fool. He certainly knows that all of this from the beginning to the end was fueled by the Golden Wind.
Or they can directly confront them head-on and develop their own engines to break through the blockade.
Or they may be behind the scenes secretly stirring up negative public opinion, using other companies as a pretext to suppress and acquire Huanmeng.
There is a Chinese saying that goes "The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it."
The decline of Huanmeng began with the competition of Golden Wind's engine development.
Now, if they want to stop the decline and avoid bankruptcy and further collapse, only the Golden Wind can save them.
Thinking of this, Carter Walker opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
But he said nothing.
What else can he say?
Industry colleagues are eyeing them covetously, and previous partners are ruthlessly abandoning them.
Now this is the only way left for him, isn't it?
Just as Gu Sheng wished!
The negotiations with Huanmeng did not last long.
In a positive and peaceful atmosphere, the two sides reached a common intention as if it was a natural outcome.
"But there is one thing I'm curious about, I don't know if Mr. Gu is comfortable talking about it,"
A few days later, after the two parties signed the agreement, Carter Walker hesitated and asked the question in his mind:
"[Made in Heaven]...was it designed from the beginning to conceal the truth and avoid being secretly disrupted by Vivendi?"
"If that's the case, why change the name?"
Carter Walker could not figure out the meaning of Golden Wind's move.
At this point, Huanmeng has become a subsidiary of Golden Wind just like Phoenix.
Naturally, Gu Sheng also revealed to him some information about this "supportive acquisition".
As he said, the biggest role of this Polish company used to acquire equity is to conceal the truth and prevent Vivendi from knowing that it was Golden Wind that was secretly acquiring equity.
Otherwise, even if Vivendi was unwilling to take over the mess of Huanmeng, it would never let Golden Wind succeed so easily.
And in order to achieve this effect.
Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao went there specifically to ask for help from Old Shen.
Yes, this "foreign company with a clean background" was acquired through Shen's Capital channel.
Shen Capital still has many such so-called "clean companies" in its hands.
These companies are not directly tied to Shen’s Capital through equity or funds, so naturally nothing can be found.
It's a somewhat grey, but barely legal relationship.
Now, with the formal completion of the acquisition by Huanmeng, this Polish company has been incorporated into Golden Wind.
This series of operations!
Even Carter Walker can understand it!
But the problem is——!
What is the significance of the name change?
If this company is located in Poland, it will only act as an "intermediary".
After use, just integrate it completely into Golden Wind. It’s simple and quick.
Why should we retain the independence of this company and even change its name and slogan?
"President Walker is very perceptive,"
Hearing this, Gu Sheng pushed the signed agreement aside, handed it to Chu Qingzhou, and said with a smile:
"You are so perceptive. I shouldn't have trusted the cruel and ruthless Weiwendi."
"Uh, this... hehe... hehe..."
Facing Gu Sheng's teasing, Carter Walker grinned and showed an awkward smile.
Seeing this, Gu Sheng patted him on the shoulder:
"It's just a little joke, President Walker, don't mind it."
“No, no…”
Walker waved his hands quickly.
Now he can still tell who is the boss:
"At the beginning, I was just... confused and bewildered..."
"Then you must remember the consequences of being obsessed, and never do it again in the future."
With a slight smile, Gu Sheng said:
"After all, what we are about to face together is a grand project unprecedented in the history of virtual technology. We must not be blindly confident or take it lightly..."
good!
Just as Carter Walker thought!
If Made in Heaven was just a cover-up tool, then there was absolutely no need to change its name, and it should have been retained even after the acquisition was completed.
so!
"Made in Heaven has a great mission,"
Gu Sheng said:
"This mission is inextricably linked to the gaming industry, but it transcends gaming,"
“It is a virtual place that transcends the limitations of games and is a centralized hub that integrates millions of worlds,”
"This is an unprecedented creation, the ultimate form of virtuality,"
"We will soon realize this idea,"
"Let's wait and see..."
that's all!
Golden Wind's "supportive acquisition" ended in peace and harmony.
There were no waves, no unexpected events, everything just happened naturally.
However!
This seemingly peaceful acquisition has caused a huge storm in the gaming industry ---! ! !
…
Just the day after the full acquisition was officially completed!
The emergence of a piece of news directly detonated the global gaming industry——!
《Engine earthquake! Golden Wind, together with Yiyou and Xunteng, suddenly announced the completion of the acquisition of Huanmeng Engine Company! Golden Wind became the largest shareholder of Huanmeng!》
And with the announcement of this news!
Just three minutes!
The news about Huanmeng's change of ownership exploded in the gaming circle!
Industry earthquake! An uproar!
"Today is not April Fools' Day! Just now, Golden Wind officially became the largest shareholder of Dream Engine Technology Company!"
《September savings! Rise overnight! Golden Wind becomes the largest shareholder of Huanmeng! Takes the lead in the global engine industry!》
"The decline stopped instantly! With Golden Wind announcing its acquisition of Huanmeng, Huanmeng's stock price reached a turning point for the first time in nine months!"
《Acquisition of the century! After nine months of negotiation! Golden Wind finally announced the acquisition of Huanmeng! Achieving a new breakthrough in industrial integration!》
"Supportive acquisition! Golden Wind said that the most significant significance of this acquisition is to preserve the spark of industry progress and better achieve coordinated industrial development!"
《……》
Explode instantly!
The entire gaming industry was shocked!
Indeed!
Based on previous situations, the collapse of Huanmeng was not difficult to predict, and a number of manufacturers and media also anticipated it.
But what no one expected was!
The one who ultimately saved Huanmeng was neither Yunwei nor Konami, nor even the colleagues in the industry who had been coveting Huanmeng for a long time.
But it was the Golden Wind that had been targeted and blocked!
No wonder this acquisition is called the “acquisition of the century”!
For a time, the industry was in an uproar!
The discussion in the industry forum was very heated and caused a sensation!
"Fuck! It's so fierce! Golden Wind acquired Huanmeng???"
"Damn...didn't this golden engine just take off?!"
“Take off? No.1 in the world! From today on, the world’s engine looks to China, and China’s engine looks to gold!”
"This is crazy! What kind of configuration does the Golden Engine have now? Self-developed physics and AI, Phoenix graphics, Aurora game sound, and Dream Engine augmented reality! Holy shit! Mom - come out and see God!!!"
"Hahahahahahaha this is really outrageous!"
"My comment is - don't force the Chinese"
"Indeed, GW was doing well in making games and was content with its modest success, but now they have to force others to death. Now they are in trouble..."
"Even if I had two hectares of land in Luoyang, how could I be worthy of the seals of the six kingdoms..."
"You call this Su Qin? This is almost the same as the standardization of writing and the standardization of vehicles! Damn! I would like to call Mr. Gu the Cyber Qin Shi Huang!"
"I'm so fucking numb..."
“I really want to see Kotick’s expression now haha ...
"This is the day! Kodick finally made a sound controlled by the golden wind!"
"【ah?】"
"HAHAHAHAHAHA SHIT! ABSOLUTE!"
“…”
