    There is never a shortage of smart people in this world.

    Many people in the financial world see clearly how dire the situation at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is.

    But many people believe that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are too important to the United States, and the U.S. government must save them, otherwise it will cause great social shock.

    However, seeing the recent performance of the U.S. government, many people are a little panicked.

    What if the U.S. government doesn¡¯t bail out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac?

    At that time, these two giant companies can only declare bankruptcy, and 10 trillion US dollars in bonds and mortgage loans will be wiped out, just mortgage loans. This has nothing to do with financiers and investors, but it affects global investment institutions.  heart.

    Under this kind of worry, investment institutions immediately became polarized.

    Some people still firmly believe that the U.S. government does not have the courage, while others are beginning to seek a way out.

    Not only those who bought U.S. bonds, but also those who were worried about the devaluation of their assets were looking for businesses that could escape losses and eventually make them profitable.

    When Hoffman came to the capital to find Xiao Qi, it represented the ardent hopes of some investors.

    "Are you kidding, Reed!" Xiao Qi, who was helping Hoffman in the restaurant, said in surprise: "You were bribed like this? Don't you care about my interests at all?"

    "Stop coming!" Hoffman said as he ate the Capital Roast Duck: "You never told me that coolgame couldn't be sold. I worked so hard to find a buyer for you. You should thank me.  That¡¯s right!¡±

    "Stop it!"

    Xiao Qi also replied to him: "It's true that I want to sell coolgame, but not now. It has only been in operation for more than half a year. Its strength has not been fully utilized, so you ask me to sell it? Are you kidding me?  , Reed!¡±

    "That's quite a bit, Xiao Qi!" Hoffman swallowed the roast duck, took a sip of light oolong tea, and suddenly became serious: "Do you think it's true that they valued Coolgame at 15 billion US dollars? They also gave  Facebook is valued at US$100 billion! Can Facebook have this price?¡±

    Boss.  Face wave OK is really not worth 100 billion US dollars, it is worth 200 billion US dollars!

    Xiao Qi didn¡¯t say this out loud, but he also admitted that what Hoffman said was right. Don¡¯t think that you can sell for what others estimate.

    The key still depends on the company¡¯s ability to sustain growth.

    It¡¯s true that coolgame¡¯s games are very popular, but they are all fast-moving games. They don¡¯t have any background or feelings, they are just fun games.

    ea.  That is to say, Electronic Arts is different. Many of its games are series of games that have lasted for more than ten years, such as "Need for Speed", "Battlefield Series", "The Sims", "Command and Conquer", and "FIFA Series"

    Many people have grown up playing these games. Those feelings and youthful years are destined to make EA¡¯s games create extremely powerful profits in the era of mobile games.

    Just like Transformers, Chinese children in the 1980s grew up watching it until 2008 and later.  The live-action versions of Transformers are being released one after another, and these people happen to be in their twenties and thirties.  The movie has the strongest spending power, so Transformers has taken over the box office in China. It is estimated that it will easily surpass Avatar in the future.

    In the previous life, Zynga¡¯s highest share price after its listing reached 11.5 billion U.S. dollars, making it the dominant player in the entire gaming industry, even more powerful than Electronic Arts.

    But what happened next?

    It doesn¡¯t take two years.  Zynga has declined. There are many reasons. The first is that they cannot guarantee that every game they invest in can make money. The second is that the competition is too fierce. The third is that the development direction is wrong and other factors.  .  By 2013, Zynga was a mid-sized company and no longer had the domineering power it once had to dominate the world.

    This is why Xiao Qi said that the company¡¯s ability to sustain growth is very important.

    If coolgame wants to continue to develop, Xiao Qi¡¯s understanding of the future will inevitably lead to that path.

    In terms of games, the pressure of competition has increased. People¡¯s ability to like the new and dislike the old is not just for boasting. Innovation is needed anytime and anywhere. If you don¡¯t innovate, you will go from prosperity to decline in a short time.

    For such an industry, Xiao Qi¡¯s plan is not to touch it, but to find more industries that can be passed down for hundreds or thousands of years. This is the fun of starting a business.

    However, this is the plan, but Xiao Qi has never felt that the valuation of 15 billion US dollars is low. He even feels that this price is not enough to match Coolgame, Zynga¡¯s enhanced version of the game empire.

      "No matter what people outside say, I feel that if the company valuation is lower than 20 billion US dollars, I will not give up coolgame." Xiao Qi thought for a moment and said to Hoffman seriously.

    "Oh? You still have enough confidence!" Hoffman said noncommittally.

    "What do you think?" Xiao Qi smiled, "We have 15 games with more than 100 million weekly active users, and 20 games with more than 60 million weekly active users. Social networking sites, app stores, our games  The market share is 70%. Do you think a company like this is not worth US$20 billion?¡±

    "Ha ha!"

    Hoffman also laughed, "Of course I want it to be as valuable as possible! But the problem is that we are about to face the winter of financial crisis. When everyone is tightening their wallets, you can guarantee that coolgame will still be the same in the future as it is now.  valuable?"

    "When the world economy enters a cold winter, people don't feel safe leaving their money in the bank. It is better to use it to invest in valuable industries." Xiao Qi said, "The more at this time, the more good companies will be recognized by others.  , As the smart electronics industry continues to prosper, our coolgame will only become more and more prosperous. If you want to take away coolgame¡¯s shares, you must show sincerity!¡±

    "Don't tell me, others are really sincere." Hoffman took out a document from the bag next to him, "Let's take a look!"

    Xiao Qi picked it up and took a look, but it was a project from Bayeux Venture Capital.

    It says that in exchange for 10% of the shares of the girl, an additional US$2 billion will be spent to acquire 40% of the shares of coolgame.

    "They have a good idea. They will take 40% of the shares for 4 billion. In the eyes of Baye Venture Capital, our coolgame should have devalued." Xiao Qi threw the folder aside and said disdainfully.  .

    "It can't be calculated like this. According to normal value calculation, 10% of Cho Girl's shares must be worth at least 4 billion U.S. dollars. They are equivalent to using 6 billion U.S. dollars to acquire 40% of the shares, which is also 15 billion U.S. dollars. It is considered kind.  "Yes." Hoffman said, "What's more, doesn't your little girlfriend want to completely take back the shares of the sexy girl? Now is a good opportunity!"

    Good guy!

    Even this was taken into account, it seems that these people are determined to win.

    The same goes for Hoffman. If he didn¡¯t take advantage of others, he wouldn¡¯t be so active.

    After thinking about it, Xiao Qi simply asked directly: "Reed, can you tell me why you are so willing to actively promote me to sell my shares in coolgame?"

    "You have seen this." Hoffman smiled coquettishly: "This is because they told me that if they get the shares of Coolgame, then they will promote the merger of Coolgame and Electronic Arts and let this company  The company has become a new giant in the gaming industry! I am not very interested in money, but I am very interested in participating in creating a giant in the gaming industry.¡±

    "Haha!" Xiao Qi laughed, "Their ambitions are so big! How can they be sure to convince such a stubborn boss of Electronic Arts?"

    "No matter how stubborn you are, you have to keep up with the times!" Hoffman sighed: "Tripp and I have been good friends for more than ten years. He also wants to explode, and coolgame is a good opportunity He has already  He agreed that if coolgame comes to merge with Electronic Arts, he is willing to promote the success of the plan. "

    After a pause, he said again, "Xiao Qi, we are also friends, and I will not cheat you. This time they acquired 40% of the shares, don't you still have 44% of the shares in your hand? Even if you and Electronic Arts  After the merger, you will have at least 30% of the shares, and you will still be the largest shareholder of the newly established company. In this way, you will not only get 10% of Cho Er Girl's shares, but also 2 billion US dollars, and become the world's largest shareholder.  What¡¯s wrong with being the largest shareholder of a major gaming company?¡±

    "There's really nothing wrong with it, but I feel like I'm at a loss." As Xiao Qi answered, he subconsciously tapped the table with his fingers, lost in thought.

    Hoffman didn¡¯t bother Xiao Qi, but slowly started eating.

    But he knew that Xiao Qi definitely didn¡¯t have any deep feelings for coolgame, because he still clearly remembered Xiao Qi¡¯s words when he founded three companies.

    Airbnb is what Xiao Qi has always planned to hold, and it is a firm hold; foursquare can hold the majority of the shares, while coolgame is waiting for the best time to sell.

    Now Xiao Qi is hesitating, it¡¯s just a matter of price.

    He is not the one who financed the purchase, so they should leave it to them to negotiate the price. Anyway, it¡¯s good to bring this meaning to the table.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
