As for why he hoped that this change would last longer … Obviously, the current CEO of Finger Games, Charles, would definitely create negative news to suppress the value of Finger Games in order to buy back Finger Games' shares at a low price. At the same time, he would force Dayak Corporation to step down. That way, he would be able to complete the transaction at a lower price.
Dayak Corporation would definitely not just stand by and watch.
The longer the two sides fought, the smaller the price they had to pay to take down Finger Games!
Meng Chang could not help but perk up at that thought.
He was already sixty percent sure that Boss Pei was paying attention to Finger Games' movements and was prepared to be the oriole behind the mantis stalking the cicada.
Meng Chang did not dare to take the risk anymore even though a sixty percent probability was not safe enough.
It was already a little strange that he asked about Finger Games. If he asked another question now, his intentions would be too obvious.
After all, Meng Chang had not been in charge of GOG's publicity work recently. Why was he so interested in IOI? That did not make sense.
It was already not bad to test out a sixty percent probability.
Meng Chang turned around and was about to leave when Pei Qian stopped him again.
"Wait a minute."
"I have a question for you too: Do you think there's any … way to quickly spend a large amount of money?"
Pei Qian had asked this question on a whim.
He had been struggling with the matter of spending money. All of a sudden, he felt that he could ask Meng Chang!
Meng Chang might not be reliable in other areas, but he had a strong point. He was very daring to spend money!
Even if he could not get any useful answers from him, he would still gain something.
Meng Chang froze.
What did Boss Pei mean?!
There were so many ways to spend money in this world. Could Boss Pei not think of it?
How was that possible!
Let's not talk about the industries that Tengda had yet to set foot in. The simplest way was to throw all the money into Dream Realization Ventures, right?
Obviously, Boss Pei's question seemed to have a deeper meaning.
Meng Chang felt a little flustered. Could it be that Boss Pei had already accurately guessed what he was thinking when he asked about IOI and was using this method to knock him down?
Boss Pei asked if there was any way to quickly spend a large amount of money. Wouldn't acquiring Finger Games fit the bill?
Was Boss Pei trying to say: I know what you're scheming. Don't try to test me again in the future?
Meng Chang's thoughts drifted away.
Pei Qian was a little puzzled to see Meng Chang daydreaming.
What's going on? I'm just asking if you have any ways to quickly spend a large amount of money. If there was, then there was. If there wasn't, then there wasn't. He could just randomly say one or two. Was there a need to be so conflicted?
Pei Qian cleared his throat and said, "Is this question that difficult?"
Meng Chang could not help but shiver and jolt awake.
Indeed, Boss Pei already had an answer in mind when he asked this question!
And my hesitation had just exposed myself …
It was impossible to guard against!
One could not be sloppy at all times when dealing with Boss Pei. That was because Boss Pei would be able to catch any small mistake. This was a complete suppression of one's intelligence!
What should he do next? Obviously, there was only one way.
He had to tell the truth and be honest!
At that thought, Meng Chang quickly bowed. "Boss Pei, I really should not have made wild guesses about you wanting to acquire Finger Games! I'm really sorry! "
"?"
Pei Qian was dumbfounded by the bow.
What was going on?
Why was he apologizing all of a sudden?
Didn't I just ask you a very simple question? Look at what you've answered!
Eh? Acquire Finger Games?
Pei Qian did not care much at first, but the keyword 'acquire Finger Games' instantly opened the door to a new world for him.
Wait a minute, this is a good idea!
What did it mean to have the wheel of fortune change? What did it mean to have the wheel of fortune change?
Dayak Corporation could forcefully snatch Finger Games' shares away from me through a privatization offer back then. Naturally, I could snatch it back now!
Obviously, Finger Games was in a deteriorating situation. The failure of the Chinese New Year event had dealt another heavy blow to Finger Games.
The current Finger Games could be said to be at its weakest since its establishment.
In the past, Pei Qian had not considered this problem at all. That was because IOI's business was still alright. Finger Games was a hot commodity, and Dayak Corporation would definitely not sell it.
However, it was different now. After a few twists and turns, IOI's situation was no longer as good as before. Dayak Corporation was also famous for being greedy for money. Perhaps they could really buy Finger Games at a higher price?
As for whether it was worth it to buy Finger Games …
Nonsense, of course it was worth it!
Dayak Corporation would definitely not let go of IOI easily even if it was declining. It would definitely not be cheap if they wanted to buy it. There would still be a premium.
The price was high and the prospects were bad. Wasn't that the lowest price-performance ratio investment?
Looking at IOI's character now, it was basically dying. If Pei Qian did not buy it, it would rot in the hands of others. However, if Pei Qian bought it, wouldn't it rot in his own hands?
If IOI was really rotten, he could use it to burn money. This money-burning tree could burn for at least a year and a half. How good would that be!
In fact, Pei Qian had an even more ridiculous and sinister idea. He wanted to bring GOG along with him, spend the most money, and seek the greatest death …
Pei Qian's mind wandered for more than half a minute before he came back to his senses.
When he looked, Meng Chang was still bent over.
Pei Qian was a little speechless. "What are you doing? Hurry up and get up. I'm not blaming you for this. "
Meng Chang rubbed his old waist, cold sweat seeping out of his forehead.
He's not blaming me. How could he make me bend over for so long?
Obviously, Boss Pei's attitude could be seen from two aspects.
Meng Chang bowed to apologize. Boss Pei deliberately waited for more than half a minute before letting him get up. This was obviously a warning to him not to act smart and test him next time. However, Boss Pei said that he did not blame him. That meant that the acquisition of Finger Games would not change because of Meng Chang.
Furthermore … ….
Boss Pei meant that he wanted to acquire Finger Games. It was fine if you could tell and had thoughts about it. However, there was a huge problem if you thought you were smart and came to test me!
This was a different matter. His attitude was already very clear.
Meng Chang quickly said, "Alright, Boss Pei. I'll leave first."
Meng Chang could not help but heave a sigh of relief after leaving Boss Pei's office.
Phew … fortunately!
The plan had failed, and Boss Pei had seen through him on the spot. However, Boss Pei was not angry because of that.
What's more, he had also found out that Boss Pei did have plans to acquire Finger Games.
Since this news had been confirmed, the rest would be easy to talk about. Meng Chang and Fan Xiaodong could roughly estimate the direction of Finger Games' stock price in the future based on this exact information!
First, Charles would definitely release some negative news in order to buy Finger Games at a low price, causing Finger Games' stock price to fall.
After that, Boss Pei would definitely make a move when the stock price had fallen to a certain extent and Charles and Dayak Corporation were about to reach a deal.
At that time, the stock price that had already fallen to a certain extent would definitely rise again.
In other words, he would be able to earn a sum of money by shorting it first and then going long.
Meng Chang's little vault would naturally be replenished.
However, Meng Chang had already thought about it. He would donate a large portion of the money he earned directly to the 'Beginner Relief Plan'. That way, Boss Pei would turn a blind eye to his actions.
All in all, the situation was great!
…
Pei Qian began to think about acquiring Finger Games as he watched Meng Chang leave.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was right!
He had not considered this problem before. The main reason was that he had not been on good terms with Dayak Corporation previously. They would not sell it even if he wanted to.
Now that Finger Games was like this, there might really be a chance.
However, the problem was that acquiring a company was not as simple as buying cabbages. He had to evaluate and negotiate. This process was troublesome.
How should he buy it? Who should he let go?
Pei Qian did not care much about the price. As long as it was not too ridiculous, it did not matter if it was more expensive or cheaper. The key was to get it done smoothly. He did not want to get rejected after a while. That would be a waste of effort.
After some consideration, Pei Qian decided on four main candidates.
Eric, Assistant Xin, He Desheng, Meng Chang!
Eric was an old employee of Dayak Corporation. He should be able to get in touch with Dayak Corporation. That way, he would be able to complete the transaction faster. He would not be unable to contact them and delay progress.
In addition, Eric had been in charge of the operations of IOI and GOG before. He had a special understanding of IOI. He was professional enough in games.
Assistant Xin and He Desheng mainly wanted to investigate Finger Games and estimate a more reasonable price. These two people were more professional and did not need to lower the price too much. However, they could not be spendthrift either.
As for the last person, Meng Chang, he looked like he was just there to make up the numbers on the surface. In fact, he was very important: Pei Qian wanted him to make the decision for him.
Acquiring a company would definitely not be settled in two or three days. The entire negotiation process would be relatively long, and there might be trade-offs in the middle.
Pei Qian did not really care about the gains and losses of these details. However, Eric, Assistant Xin, and He Desheng were not the kind of people who dared to make decisions.
On the other hand, Meng Chang did not have many other advantages. The only advantage he had was his guts.
At that time, these people might have to fly to Europe or the United States. There would be a time difference between them and China. Pei Qian did not want to sleep in the middle of the night and be woken up by an overseas call to make a decision on something that he thought was insignificant.
Thus, he asked Eric to pull the strings, Assistant Xin and He Desheng to investigate and negotiate, and Meng Chang to make the decision. In the end, no matter what the outcome was, it would be fine as long as he bought Finger Games and did not spend too much money.
The four of them would work together and then let them form a professional team according to their needs. It would definitely be safe and foolproof!
The more Pei Qian thought about it, the happier he became. He immediately sent a message to the four of them, asking them to hurry up and arrange the work at hand. He wanted to investigate the possibility of acquiring Finger Games and then push forward with this matter as soon as possible.
Of course, Pei Qian did not care about how they would discuss it. The four of them could discuss and decide.
