As for why he wanted this drastic change to last a little longer… Obviously, the current CEO of Finger Games, England, would definitely continue to create negative news in order to buy back Finger Games’ shares at a low price. He would suppress the value of Finger Games and force Dayak Corporation to sell at a lower price.
Dayak Corporation would definitely not just watch.
The longer both sides struggled, the smaller the price of taking down Finger Games!
At that thought, Meng Chang could not help but feel energized.
He was 60% sure that Boss Pei was paying attention to Finger Games’ movements. He was also prepared to catch the oriole behind the mantis.
Although 60% was not stable enough, Meng Chang did not dare to take any more risks.
It was a little strange for him to ask about Finger Games. If he asked any more, his intentions would be too obvious.
After all, Meng Chang had not been in charge of GOG’s publicity recently. Why was he so interested in IOI? That did not make sense.
It was good enough to try out a 60% chance.
Meng Chang turned around and was about to leave when Pei Qian stopped him.
“Wait a minute.”
“I have a question for you as well: Do you think there is any… way to spend a lot of money quickly?”
Pei Qian suddenly felt like this.
He had been struggling with spending money and suddenly felt that he could ask Meng Chang!
Meng Chang might not be reliable in other places, but he had a benefit: he was very daring to spend money!
If he were to ask him, even if he did not obtain any useful answers, he would definitely gain something.
Meng Chang froze.
What did Boss Pei mean?!
There were so many ways to spend money in this world. Would Boss Pei not think of them?
How can that be?!
There was no need to talk about industries that Tengda had not stepped into yet. 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 his thoughts and used this method to knock him down after he only asked about IOI indirectly?
Boss Pei asked if there was any way to quickly reduce a large amount of money, and wouldn’t it be in line to acquire Finger Games?
Did Boss Pei mean to say: I know what you’re thinking. Don’t try to test me 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 way to spend a lot of money quickly. If you have, you have. If not, you don’t have. You can just say one or two. Do you have to be so conflicted?
Pei Qian cleared his throat and said, “Is this question that difficult?”
Meng Chang could not help but shiver and wake up suddenly.
Indeed, Boss Pei had already expected an answer in his heart when he asked this question!
My hesitation exposed myself…
It was impossible to guard against everything!
He could not be sloppy when dealing with Boss Pei. That was because Boss Pei would catch any small flaw. That was simply a complete suppression of intelligence!
What should he do next? Obviously, there could only be one way.
It was to tell the truth!
At that thought, Meng Chang quickly bowed. “Boss Pei, I really shouldn’t make any wild guesses about you acquiring Finger Games! I’m very sorry!”
Pei Qian: “?”
This bow confused Pei Qian.
What was going on?
Why did he apologize?
Didn’t I just ask you a very simple question? Look at what you answered.
Eh? Acquisition of Finger Games?
At first, Pei Qian did not care much about it. However, the keyword ‘acquisition of Finger Games’ opened a new door for him.
Wait, that’s a good idea!
What do you mean by the ups and downs of life? What do you mean by the tables have turned?
Dayak Corporation could snatch Finger Games’ shares away from me forcefully through a private contract back then. I can naturally snatch them back now!
Obviously, Finger Games was now in a situation that was getting worse. The failure of the Chinese New Year event gave Finger Games another heavy blow.
Finger Games could be said to be the most fragile thing since it was established.
In the past, Pei Qian had not considered this problem at all because IOI’s operations were not bad. Finger Games was in high demand. 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 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 easily even if IOI was already on the decline. There would still be some premiums if they wanted to buy it.
High prices and poor prospects. Wasn’t that the lowest cost-effective investment?
Looking at IOI’s attitude 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 hands?
If IOI was really bad, he could use it to burn money. This money-burning tree could burn for at least a year. How good would that be!
Pei Qian even had a more ridiculous and sinister idea. That was to bring GOG along and spend the most money to court death the most…
Pei Qian was also daydreaming. He only recovered after half a minute.
In the end, he saw Meng Chang still bending down.
Pei Qian was a little speechless. “What are you doing? Get up quickly. I’m not blaming you for this.”
Meng Chang rubbed his old waist and broke out in cold sweat.
You don’t blame me. How could you let me bend over for so long?
Obviously, there were two aspects to Boss Pei’s attitude.
Meng Chang bent down and apologized. Boss Pei specially let him up after more than half a minute. This was obviously trying to knock him down so that he would not try to test him next time. However, Boss Pei said that he did not blame him. He was saying that the acquisition of Finger Games would not change because of Meng Chang.
To put it bluntly…
What Boss Pei meant was that it did not matter if you could tell that I wanted to acquire Finger Games and had thoughts about it. However, if you acted smart but came to test me, that would be a very problem!
This attitude was very clear.
Meng Chang quickly said, “Alright, Boss Pei. I’ll make a move first.”
Meng Chang could not help but heave a sigh of relief after leaving Boss Pei’s office.
Har… Still alright!
The plan might have failed, thinking that Boss Pei had seen through it on the spot without leaving a trace, but Boss Pei was not angry because of this.
What’s more, he had also tested out that Boss Pei indeed had plans to acquire Finger Games.
Since this news was confirmed, it was easy to talk about what would happen next. Meng Chang and Fan Xiaodong could roughly estimate the direction of Finger Games’ share price in the future based on this definite information!
First of all, in order to buy Finger Games at a low price, he would definitely release some negative news that would cause Finger Games’ share price to fall.
After that, when the share prices were about to fall, Boss Pei would definitely suddenly make a move when charles and Dayak Corporation were about to reach a deal.
At that time, shares that had already fallen to a certain extent would definitely rise again.
In other words, he could short it and make more money.
Meng Chang’s bank could naturally be replenished.
However, Meng Chang had already thought about it. He would take out a large portion of the money he earned and donate it directly to the “initial financial 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 after watching Meng Chang leave.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss!
He had not considered this problem before. The main reason was that he had not been on good terms with Dayak Corporation previously. Even if he wanted to buy it, they would not sell it.
There might be a chance now that Finger Games was in such a state.
However, the problem was that acquiring a company was not as simple as buying cabbage. He had to evaluate and negotiate. This process was very troublesome.
How could he buy it? Who should he send?
Pei Qian did not care so much about the price. As long as it was not too ridiculous, it would not be a problem for it to be more expensive and cheaper. The key was that it had to be done smoothly. He did not want to be left out after that.
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 contact Dayak Corporation. That would be able to facilitate the transaction faster. He would not be unable to contact them and delay their progress.
In addition, Eric had been in charge of the operations of IOI and GOG. He knew IOI very well. In terms of games, he was professional enough.
Assistant Xin and He Desheng were mainly going to inspect Finger Games and estimate a more reasonable price. The two of them were more professional and did not need to lower the price much, but they could not be a spendthrift.
As for the last Meng Chang, he looked like he was there to make up the numbers, but he was actually very important: Pei Qian wanted him to make the decision for him.
It was impossible to settle the acquisition of a company in two or three days. The entire negotiation process would be longer, and there might be some choices in between.
Pei Qian did not care about these details. However, Eric, Assistant Xin, and He Desheng were not people who dared to make decisions.
Meng Chang did not have many advantages except for his courage.
At that time, these people might fly to Europe or the United States. It was different from China. Pei Qian did not want to be woken up by a cross-border phone call in the middle of the night to decide on a small matter that did not matter to him.
Therefore, Meng Chang decided to get Eric to pull the strings, Assistant Xin and He Desheng to inspect and negotiate. No matter the outcome, it would be enough as long as he bought Finger Games and did not spend too much money for nothing.
The four of them would split the workload and work together. Then, they would form a professional team according to needs. It would definitely be done well and would be foolproof!
The more Pei Qian thought about it, the happier he became. He immediately sent a message to the four of them and asked them to hurry up and arrange the work on hand. He wanted them to inspect the possibility of acquiring Finger Games and then push this matter forward as soon as possible.
Of course, Pei Qian could not care less about how to negotiate.. The four of them could decide.
