Spiritualist In Korea

Chapter 489: various acquisitions

  Christy couldn't understand Li Mo's thoughts.

   From the current popularity of the mobile game market, it is not difficult to see that it will not decline even in the next few years. At this time, shouldn't you increase investment in the development of mobile games, but also add a foot into the development of unfamiliar large-scale games?

   Obviously this is a sinkhole.

   If he didn't know Philip, he would have thought that this was Li Mo's false shot, an excuse to evade.

   Of course, he wouldn't just listen to one side of the story and make an arbitrary decision. Through SoftBank's information channels, I did get Candy Studio's CEO Zach Becky to frequently contact various independent game studios abroad.

   In this way, he has to seriously think about the issue of investment.

   After thinking about it in the hotel for two days and comparing a lot of information, Christie gave up.

   "Eka, if you can... I hope you can test the pressure with Li Mo with me. I want to get 30% of the supercell shares in his hands."

   The big fat Spanish man turned around and began to ponder this matter. Since Candy Studio doesn't know how to invest, it's better to concentrate on more potential supercells.

  Eka was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Christie.... Li Mo is also my friend."

   In business, Li Mo did not do anything sorry for supercell. And he also invested real money. If he and Christie kicked Li Mo out, he didn't know how to face the employees of the studio.

  Although Li Mo has been to supercell's headquarters once, many people are very satisfied with this generous, generous investor who doesn't care about anything. They think that this allows them to be creative and make the games they want to make.

  Although Christie was a little embarrassed by the rejection, there was nothing he could do. With a shrug, he started to pack up and prepare to leave Seoul.

  Eka-Pananin stayed for one more day to catch up with Philip and others, and apologized to Li Mo by the way. This time, he was really fascinated by ghosts. Not only did he not get any benefits, but his relationship with Li Mo reached a freezing point.

  ・・・

   "I think their concerns are normal. Actually, I have a question. Boss, why did you set foot in large-scale game development?"

  Philip, as Li Mo's investment adviser, could not understand Li Mo's move.

"Well...if I was rich and self-willed...would you believe it?" Li Mo blushed, this decision was really made by him, but because of his previous wise leadership, Zach- Becky, despite his doubts, supported his decision, as did the game streaming site.

"I believe in being rich. If you are self-willed...you can't talk about boss. I have seen rich people who are more self-willed than you. In contrast, I think you are more like... um... It should be casual." Philip smiled.

   "Then do you think we should stop these two plans?"

Philip pondered for a moment, and replied cautiously, "No need, diversification is also a good choice. However, the investment needs to be reduced, and the excess funds should be used to expand the mobile game team. And boss, don't forget your homeland, yes Time to enter this huge market.”

  Li Mo currently has a barbecue chain in China, and Cui Yongze, the former chairman of Weimei Group, has been sent to Qindao by him to start building a brand. At the same time, Cui Yongze purchased a farm and cultivated high-quality beef cattle. The report Cui Yongze has been reviewed by Li Mo for many times.

   Without Philip reminding him, he was all ready to find a time to go back to China. The main purpose is to spend money, and now there are more expansions of game studios.

   There are also suitable agents for the three popular games of Candy Studio. Otherwise, it will not fully utilize its earning ability by relying only on the AppStore. Not to mention that GooglePlay is a waste in China.

  Three days later, Zach Becky ended his expedition and returned to Seoul.

   This guy exclaimed excitedly as soon as he saw Li Mo, "Boss, I found a very interesting game... Although it's **** now... But I think it definitely has potential."

   "OK, take your time."

"It's a...well...combination of racing and football. In fact, they launched it in 2008, and unfortunately they went straight to the street. These guys still haven't given up, taking out outsourced jobs to maintain the business. , continue to rework."

  Zach Becky explained, and took out the information he got to explain to Li Mo.

  Li Mo looked at it, this studio named psyonix obviously made a lot of efforts to attract investment. The introductory video was specially made to show the history of the studio and the projects under development at this time without any concealment.

   Li Mo didn't talk about the quality of the game called "Super Acrobatic Rocket Powered Combat Vehicle" in Chinese and SARPBC in English. First of all, he had a failure experience, which caught his attention.

   Since its establishment in 2000, the two games launched have ended in dismal results, and they have been reduced to outsourcing work for other game work to maintain operations while continuing to improve their games.

   This perseverance is commendable.

   What makes Li Mo even more excited is that psyonix studio has outsourced many masterpieces, such as "Gears of War", "UFO: Unknown Enemy" and "Mass Effect 3", which shows that they have accumulated good technology and experience. Moreover, he also has experience in research and development of mobile games, which makes Li Mo even more satisfied.

   "Have you talked to their CEO, are you willing to be acquired by us?"

  Zach Becky grinned and said, "Boss, you underestimate the power of the dollar. In a studio like this difficult to operate, someone invests, and the CEO can do everything for you."

   Li Mo made a decisive decision, "Then you can make an extra trip to buy the studio, and by the way, let them make a report on how much development funds this super rocket needs, and I will approve it if it is appropriate."

   "Boss, I strongly request more vacation time!" Zach Becky complained bitterly. He just came back and wants to go back again, so he might as well ask his assistant to bring the information back to Li Mo to see, to save himself from running around and exhausting himself.

   glanced at Zach Becky, and Li Mo said slowly, "Excellent employee..."

  Zach Becky's attitude instantly became correct, "Don't worry, boss, I will use the best price for those psyonix, to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

   Equity incentives, Zach Becky is ready to go back to the United States again with tears in his eyes. Although he knew that Li Mo was only joking with him, the equity incentive at the end of the year and Todd Ellen were almost certain to receive the shares gifted by Li Mo. But it's the truth to please the big boss to get more, and he doesn't want to be surpassed by Todd the big bear.

   In addition to the acquisition of psyonix, the Candy studio made frequent moves in the following days, constantly spending money to buy various mobile game studios, and all of them had teams with different styles to make up for the deficiencies of the candy studio.

   After streamlining and merging, Candy Studio has more than 500 employees, and the games developed at the same time include the missing racing, sports, card and so on.

   Li Mo's money-spending behavior was called "Tentacle Action" by a financial newspaper, saying that Li Mo was trying to build his own mobile game kingdom by means of mergers and acquisitions. As for psyonix, which was also acquired, it was directly ignored.

  After being busy, it’s time for a relaxing trip of your own—following Kim Taeyeon to Wanwan for the second stop of Girls’ Generation’s world tour.
