Holding the tea in his hand, Jiang Hao glanced at everyone in the conference room.

Lao Qin and Brother Kai, who were sitting next to him, seemed a little nervous.

Although when I was with Brother Lu in his office just now, he seemed to look down on Tencent's "buy, buy, buy" strategy in his words and deeds.

But when they really sat down face to face and saw Mr. Ma opposite them, one of them kept drinking water while the other kept turning a pen.

We have all been exposed to Tencent since childhood, and we were a little excited to see the real person for the first time.

"Boss Ma, why don't we just not talk about anything else and talk about the price directly?"

"of course can."

"How about just do what I said on WeChat? I'll buy it for 300 billion yuan. I'll take whatever you're willing to pay."

"Ahem~!"

As soon as Mr. Ma finished speaking, Lao Qin, who was drinking tea nearby, was choked by the number.

It’s not that he doesn’t strive hard, but this number is far beyond his expectations.

Mr. Ma and others in the conference room all looked at him, thinking that Lao Qin was going to make some suggestion.

"This won't work!"

Seeing this, Jiang Hao helped Lao Qin out with just one word.

"300 billion is far from the bottom price I had in mind."

"I just said that if it was this number, we could sit down and talk, but I didn't say that this was a number I could accept."

Lao Qin and Brother Kai both had flushed faces at this moment.

After following Jiang Hao for many years, this was the first time that Jiang Hao took him to conduct such a real capital business transaction.

Even though both of them earn a lot now, with an annual income of at least 300 million, the figure of billion is still hard to imagine.

What impressed them even more was Jiang Hao's performance. He treated the 300 billion figure as if it were 300 yuan and did not budge at all.

Considering that they own 5% of the shares, it is equivalent to % of Bluehole's shares.

At that time, 2500 million was invested, and now its value has reached 15 billion.

In just one year, it has increased 60 times. This business makes money faster than his live streaming!

Lu Weiming was also shocked, but he controlled his emotions well.

I have participated in many business negotiations and financing activities, and I can still bear the tens of billions of dollars in RMB.

He initially thought that the value of the stocks he held would at most increase tenfold, so he was unwilling to trade them.

He didn't expect the asking price to be sixty times higher. He must have underestimated Jiang Hao!

No wonder he just said in the office that he couldn’t refuse the price offered by Mr. Ma!

"Boss Jiang, this price is already very high. I am very sincere."

"When you acquired Bluehole, its market value was 5 million. I have already purchased it at 60 times the price."

“This is not financing, you should think about it.”

What Mr. Ma said was actually the reason why Jiang Hao was willing to sit down and talk.

If Bluehole raises funds with a valuation of 300 billion RMB, it would actually be reasonable.

Of course, this number will continue to grow with the subsequent operation of "PUBG".

But this time, the shares in hand were directly exchanged for cash.

If Bluehole were not listed, there would not be many opportunities to cash out at such high prices.

Many company founders, when they want to cash out in Round B or C, will actually discount the valuation of their equity and will not start at the financing price.

Unless it is a top company that all capitals are optimistic about, such as Haijing, which is such a special type of top company.

"How about this, Mr. Jiang, please tell me first, how much shares are you prepared to give up?"

"15%-20%, depending on how sincere you are about the price, Mr. Ma."

"The sales of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds have now exceeded 300 million, and the number of online users is still breaking through million. I think there is a chance that it will replace League of Legends."

"Blue Hole's shares will definitely continue to rise in the future. If you can't raise the price, Mr. Ma, I will transfer about 15% for the sake of our previous friendship."

There are already many voices in the market praising "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds".

The exaggerated number of people online at the same time is indeed comparable to that of League of Legends.

After all, League of Legends has been out for six or seven years and is a very old game.

At this time, whether it is the market expectations or Tencent's expectations, they all feel that things are about to go downhill.

Especially with the current momentum of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, it feels like it has the power to overtake League of Legends.

This is also the reason why Mr. Ma is eager to acquire Bluehole, or to enter Bluehole and become a shareholder in advance.

Only Jiang Hao himself knows clearly that the lifespan of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds may not be longer than that of League of Legends.

In this life, he is preparing to crack down on cheats, hoping to do his best to improve the gaming environment and extend the life of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds as long as possible.

But compared to League of Legends, I still don’t have much confidence.

At least if Tencent is willing to acquire it at a high price in the future, he is willing to give up his shares in Bluehole.

"How about this, Mr. Jiang, I'll use 350 billion as the valuation, but I have a few conditions."

"Mr. Ma, you say."

350 billion, plus an additional 50 billion in total value at one time. It was indeed a sincere offer, so Jiang Hao gave it a preliminary agreement.

“First, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds needs to open up Wegame purchase and login permissions.”

There is nothing much to say about this. It is equivalent to opening an additional purchasing channel. Jiang Hao nodded immediately.

“Second, I hope PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds can become a free-to-play game as soon as possible.”

"I wonder if you have any plans in this regard, Mr. Jiang?"

The development of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has now reached the pinnacle of paid games in China.

The number of people purchasing games every day is decreasing, and the potential is limited.

Once it becomes a free game, another larger group of players will quickly flock in.

The value of the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" will be further raised.

Free things are often the most expensive. Mr. Ma’s idea is actually very clear. "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" needs to be operated in the mode of a large-scale online game.

Selling guns, character skins, and buying some privileges are the real profiteering in this game!

"Mr. Ma, I originally planned to sell the game at half price starting in June, and then sell it for half a year before finally making it free."

"Since you've asked today, the game will be half price at the end of this month, and it will be completely free before October."

The professional league of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds will be launched soon, and the game will attract more players after it is half price.

To Jiang Hao, the two requirements raised by Mr. Ma were not difficult, as they were within his development ideas.

"Okay, then I have no problem with that. Let's just follow this standard."

The two parties finally hit it off, and Bluehole was valued at 350 billion yuan.

Tencent invested 70 billion yuan to acquire 20% of Bluehole's shares.

Until Mr. Ma signed and left in a hurry, Lao Qin and Brother Kai beside him were still in shock.

They can directly share 70 million yuan out of the 7 billion yuan.

More importantly, more than half of the shares have not yet been transferred.

Haoyue Capital suddenly received 49 billion yuan, which greatly relieved the financial pressure.
