After an hour-long flight, the plane landed at San Francisco Airport.
Wearing a pair of sunglasses on his face, wearing a white compassionate shirt, a pair of pale and worn jeans, a pair of clover shoes on the feet, a tall and strong body, a handsome face, exuding a confident aura, which occasionally caused Attention of women around.
Nelson stood in the distance and saw Andy and his party. Andy was like a luminous body, which made people unconsciously look at him. Several women took pictures with his mobile phone. I wonder if he recognized his identity. After all, in recent times, Andy's photos have appeared in various media reports, and it is quite normal to be recognized.
"Hi, Nelson." Andy walked quickly to Nelson and gave him a hug.
Nelson felt Andy's enthusiasm and opened his arms, "Boss, welcome to San Francisco."
"Oh, you have worked hard these days." Andy and financial consultant David also embraced and greeted the negotiation team.
David smiled bitterly on his face and said to Andy: "Boss, you have given us too little time. At present, it is only a preliminary assessment of their company. Some accounts have not been audited yet."
"Oh, let's put the accounts aside first, as long as the value of the assets is evaluated, and I can guarantee that I am buying a game company with complete personnel." Andy explained with a smile.
Hearing Andy's words, David shrugged his shoulders and said a little dumbly: "If that's the case, then there's no problem."
"Okay, let's go, the hotel has been booked for you." Nelson said to Andy after greeting Karl and Joseph.
"OK, let's go, I invite you to eat a big meal, everyone has a share." Andy is very respectful of the Chinese guests' dinner, whether it is treating friends or employees, it is the best way to maintain relationships.
Located in San Francisco's Soma district, the Four Seasons Hotel is 121 meters high and is the first skyscraper in San Francisco's 21st century.
Nielsen booked Andy a luxury view room on the 17th floor of the hotel. The rooms are cream-colored to create a warm atmosphere. Panoramic windows can not only admire the view of the fragrant grass garden, but also a few blocks away.
Standing in front of the panoramic window, Andy overlooked the street scene and listened carefully to the detailed introduction of the target company by David.
"Okay, okay, let's go to the restaurant to taste California-style steaks and various platter snacks. Let's put aside the work first." Andy interrupted David's introduction and smiled at everyone.
When he heard that he was going to eat, Carl patted his fat belly and said happily: "It's great, I'm already hungry. I feel like I can swallow a cow now."
Andy glanced at him angrily, sarcastically: "You should be on a diet, otherwise you will be fatter."
"Why don't you enjoy the food, you might as well kill me!" Carl didn't care about Andy's ridicule.
Nelson and David watched Karl, who was walking out of the room with his fat buttocks anxiously, could not help laughing.
In the restaurant, Karl kept talking to the waiter with the menu. Andy took the menu angrily and looked at the price. It surprised him a little. The price of the dishes was not high. He faced the waiter standing beside him. Say: "French truffle foie gras with green apple RU cheese and caviar, Gula traditional beef chowder with rye bread, French sour RU cheese fruit salad with fresh plum sauce, charcoal grilled T-bone steak with black pepper Young Secretary and Fried Mushroom...
After ordering, a few people chatted and waited for the dishes to be served, and Carl was anxiously looking, holding the knife and fork early in his hand to prepare to eat.
Andy laughed from time to time with a few quotes from Nelson and David. They shook their heads and laughed.
As for the laughter, I don't know if it's thick-skinned or because I like this way of fighting with Andy to enhance my feelings. Carls is not affected in any way, but he calmly counterattacks from time to time to make everyone laugh. .
As a financial adviser David who did not join the Andy team for a long time, he greatly envied the way of getting along with Karl and Nelson and Andy.
Soon the first dish was served, the French truffle foie gras with green apple RU cheese and caviar, the presentation was very elegant and the aroma was tangy.
Scooped a spoonful of caviar into the mouth, and the small particles slowly turned between the lips, nibbling the delicious bloom, which made the taste buds cheer.
It is indeed delicious, even if the price is high, it is still a rare top-level ingredient, and the chef's skills are impeccable, so that the ingredients retain the most essential taste.
Foie gras is extremely creamy and melts in the mouth like snow into water, with an unparalleled taste.
Although delicious, Andy is still a little depressed, accustomed to the large dishes and large bowls of Chinese food. There are too few things in Western food, but there are many dishes behind. I believe that if he sets it down, his stomach will be full.
Salad, bread soup, steak. . . . . Entering Andy's belly one by one, everyone went back to the guest room for lunch after drinking and eating, and prepared for the final negotiation in the afternoon.
in the afternoon.
"Holton, do you say that the other party is really the young billionaire reported in the newspaper?" Bill's expression was a little nervous, and the anxiety in his heart made him unable to relax. He stood in a suit with a straight face, and looked serious Holden asked.
"Bill, I know what you are worrying about, but I privately say from the other party that their boss wants to buy a company with full staff. I don't think there will be too many staff changes at the moment."
"Although the other party is young, one of his ideas made him a billionaire. Since he wants to get involved in the unfamiliar game industry, he naturally has his considerations. This is an opportunity for us, and we have enough funds to complete our ideas." Holden saw Bill's worries, why did he not feel nervous, the company has developed to the present stage, it is absolutely unreasonable to say that the management has no problems, the layoffs are affirmative, but it is not that they can cut those people Decided, now can only wait for the decision of the new boss after the acquisition.
The company boss Winster, who stood in front of the two, was in a very good mood. After all, a burden was about to be thrown out. Even if the price of the purchase was compressed very much, it was always better than the endless burning of money. As for other issues in the company, he has not thought about it now, or he will leave it to the new boss to have a headache.
"coming."
Holden saw several cars approaching them, and spoke to remind everyone.
The car stopped slowly, the group of people who came down first, Winster, they are no strangers, these few days of negotiation is the responsibility of these people, led by David is a very difficult negotiation opponent.
Immediately afterwards, a young man in shirtless jeans walked out of the car and looked up to see the surrounding environment and the location of the company.
In a five-story old building, the walls are peeling off a little, giving a feeling of ruin.
"It should be this young man. It's too young, and money is wayward!" Winston wandered all kinds of thoughts in his head, but there was no pause at his feet. He quickly stepped forward and shook hands with Andy.
Holden and Bill glanced at each other, and immediately behind Winston, they were equally astonished by Andy's youth, even if he had seen Andy's photos in the newspaper.
Under David's introduction, the two sides shook hands and met, and after a brief exchange, under the leadership of Winston, everyone stepped into the game company.
The company's office space is very spacious, but there are not many staff. Andy understands that the company has more than 50 employees, more than 50 people use a five-story building, and the space available to everyone is naturally very spacious. , Is indeed a bit extravagant.
At this time, the employees of the entire company are very nervous. Since the boss announced that he will sell the company, the employees will not be able to work at ease. The bottom-level employees are better, mainly because the middle-level employees are very anxious, afraid that the new boss will come soon Waving layoffs and slashing at them. As for a few senior executives, it goes without saying that the company is not profitable and there is nothing more to say.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was a little depressed. Andy looked at the game materials previously produced by this game company a little boringly. The idea is good, but basically they are casual stand-alone games, and the largest game in the United States Market TV console games do not have any products, let alone online games.
David led the audit team to do the final calculation. If there is no problem, Andy can sign the payment.
No one was talking in the office. David pushed the door and walked in, pointing at Andy, saying that everything was fine. Both parties were seated. Andy signed the contract. David handed the check to his name, which he could not wait to sign. Winster.
Winster got the check, but after saying goodbye to Andy, he left the meeting room without looking back. Now he has nothing to do with this company.
Watching Winster leave, Andy walked to the top of the meeting room, looked around, and looked at the top executives of the company with a very nervous expression.
"The company's management will not change for a while. I will give you a period of time to show your ability. The creative department and sales department are the focus of my investigation." Andy looked at a few people with a serious expression, and the people who glanced at Can not help but feel a chill.
Soon, the treatment of the company's employees was basically negotiated. In fact, there was nothing to talk about. In addition to the salary paid to the employees, the money to buy the company was basically the price of cabbage, mainly because of this five-story old building and a large The plot of land that has been used as a parking lot is also in the company's assets.
As for the previous game copyrights of this company, Winster didn't need a penny. To be honest, Andy really couldn't look down on those games. He bought this company as long as the purpose was to make the products he needed. Is there anyone in this world who knows the most profitable games better than himself?
The people brought by Andy took over the company and began to sign new contracts with employees. The company's new name was changed to "Mocking Bird". The unique trademark sign has also been handed over to the advertising company. The company's building is really Too old, Andy instructed people to paint the exterior wall of the building, and the interior also needs to be renovated layer by layer, and the employees did not delay their work.
