Pei Qian called Assistant Xin over for a trip to Fish-Catching Internet Cafe.
On the way, Pei Qian briefly explained about Shang Yang Games.
"After the festival, take some time to inspect Shang Yang Games and tell me the details. You can leak some information to their boss and say that we intend to acquire them. "
Pei Qian was afraid that Shang Yang Games would disband during the inspection. If that happened, he would have to find everyone one by one. Wouldn't that be troublesome?
There would still be cracks in the reunion. If he wanted to take over the company, he had to take it over completely!
Thus, he had to leak information to the boss of Shang Yang Games about his intentions so that he would have some hope and not disband the company in a hurry.
As Assistant Xin drove, she nodded and said, "Alright, Boss Pei. However, from what I know, this seems to be a company that isn't doing very well. "
Assistant Xin was very tactful.
"I'm not interested in the company now. I'm interested in its future potential," Pei Qian said confidently.
"En, I believe in your foresight, Boss Pei." Assistant Xin asked, "How long will the inspection take? The longer we take, the more we understand, and the more advantage we will have during the merger negotiations. "
She paused and added, "What's more, the other party should be incurring losses now. We can drag it out for some time. That will help us lower the price."
Lower the price?
Lower the price? The more expensive the better!
Pei Qian immediately shook his head. "There's no need to drag it out on purpose. The sooner, the better.
"Every second counts in the game industry. Instead of dragging it out for the sake of lowering the price, it's better to invest in the operations. Don't lose the bigger picture because of a small gain. "
"Alright." Assistant Xin asked again, "So, are we going to acquire the entire company, or …"
There were many types of acquisition companies. Some only wanted an empty shell with no employees; some only wanted the game IP under the game company; and some would adjust the company's structure. For example, they would hire a leader out of nowhere and use a new human management system.
As for how to acquire the company, it depended on what Pei Qian was interested in. That would make it easier to negotiate.
Pei Qian was not interested in the people of Shang Yang Games or any of its games. He was interested in Shang Yang Games' ability to incur losses!
Thus, Pei Qian had to acquire the entire Shang Yang Games as it was to ensure its original taste.
Pei Qian immediately answered, "The entire company's structure will remain the same."
"Alright, Boss Pei. I understand." Assistant Xin did not ask further after understanding her leader's intentions.
This was not a particularly reasonable acquisition.
That was because Shang Yang Games … had nothing worth buying.
If he had his eye on a certain talent, wouldn't he just poach him to Tengda?
If they were interested in one of their games, they could buy it directly. Shang Yang Games would probably be happy to see someone take over their games.
But to take over everything?
It didn't seem to make sense.
However, Assistant Xin didn't ask about it. This was her professionalism. She just had to do what the leader told her to do. She shouldn't ask about things that shouldn't be asked.
What's more, there must be a deeper meaning behind Boss Pei's arrangements. He must have seen something valuable about Shang Yang Games.
As the May Day holiday approached, Jingzhou City was a little congested. It took Jiang Yi a little longer than usual to reach Fish-Catching Internet Cafe.
Pei Qian got off the car and walked straight in.
Hmm, it's still as deserted as before. That's great!
Until now, Fish-Catching Internet Cafe had some returning customers. Ballers who were not sensitive to prices were very happy to come here to surf the net, drink coffee, and even use it as a meeting place.
Occasionally, a few friends would form a group to play together.
After all, the environment here was good, the service was good, and there were few people.
To these ballers, spending more money to buy a good environment was very worth it.
Even so, Fish-Catching Internet Cafe could not recoup its costs. There were still too few ballers nearby!
There was only a relatively secluded commercial district nearby. It was even a street away from Shang Yang Games. There were no large office buildings or high-end residential areas.
The location and prices of the internet cafe determined that only a small group of people could afford to spend money nearby. There was no way the internet cafe could operate normally.
Thus, Pei Qian didn't panic at all.
Seeing that Pei Qian had arrived, Ma Yang and Zhang Yuan quickly came forward to welcome him.
"Boss Pei, you're here. What would you like to drink today?" Zhang Yuan asked.
Pei Qian scanned the menu and said, "Margarita."
He looked around. There were no customers in the internet area or the coffee area. It seemed especially deserted today.
"No customers today?" Pei Qian asked casually.
Ma Yang rubbed his hands, embarrassed. "Yes, Brother Qian. I don't know what's going on today. It's probably because the holidays are coming up …"
At first, there were a few customers who could support them. However, there was not a single customer today. That was ridiculous.
Yet, Pei Qian didn't mind at all. Instead, he was happy.
"Alright, close the doors. We'll be closing early today."
"Zhang Yuan, I'm sorry to trouble you. Give everyone a drink and put it on the company's tab."
"Everyone, don't be so busy this afternoon. Come and sit here."
Pei Qian sat down in the coffee area and gestured to everyone.
A few waiters immediately got to work. Some closed the shop while others set up tables and chairs. Zhang Yuan, on the other hand, mixed drinks for everyone.
Soon, a few waiters, including the three head chefs in the back kitchen (there was only one at first, but two more were hired to provide for Tengda's staff), all sat in the coffee area. Each of them had a cocktail in front of them.
Zhang Yuan and Ma Yang sat at the front, one on each side, waiting for Pei Qian to speak.
Pei Qian coughed lightly and adjusted his mood.
"From next month onwards, Fish-Catching Internet Cafe will open four more branches in succession."
"However, there's a time limit. That's because we can't get all the funds in one go."
"Who's willing to be the branch manager? Raise your hand."
The four waiters in front immediately raised their hands. A head chef hesitated for a moment and then raised his hand tentatively.
Zhang Yuan raised his hand as well.
Pei Qian gestured for Zhang Yuan to put his hand down. "You'll be promoted to management level in the future. You'll be in charge of these branch managers. Don't raise your hand."
Zhang Yuan put his hand down happily.
What's going on? He got promoted out of nowhere!
Pei Qian looked at the five people who raised their hands. "Alright, the five of you. Zhang Yuan, write it down. The five of them will be the new branch managers of the internet cafe. "
The branch manager of this shop was originally Ma Yang. However, after opening so many branches, Ma Yang and Zhang Yuan were naturally promoted to management level. The branch manager's position was now vacant.
Thus, a total of five new branch managers were promoted.
Everyone was a little confused.
How could it be so sloppy?
A few waiters who didn't raise their hands were stunned.
Holy sh * t, they should have raised their hands!
They were a little hesitant. They were afraid that they weren't capable enough to be the branch manager. If they didn't pass the assessment, it would be embarrassing.
In the end, there was no assessment at all!
The head chef who raised his hand was the most confused.
Logically speaking, this was an internet cafe. The selection of branch managers should have nothing to do with the head chef. If there was a selection, it should be the waiters in front.
In the end, all he did was raise his hand subconsciously, and he was elected???
At that moment, he couldn't complete the transition from being a ladle bearer to branch manager.
Ma Yang tugged at Pei Qian's sleeve slightly and said in a low voice, "Brother Qian, will this work? Why don't we make an open recruitment? "
Pei Qian shook his head. "They were all recruited by you. I don't trust anyone but your judgment."
Ma Yang smiled embarrassedly. "That's true."
