My rebirth is different

"Hello, Mr. Brian, are you planning to sell Ogilvy? Make an offer."

As soon as the girl opened her mouth, Brian froze on the spot.

Chapter 524 Acquisition

Brian looked the girl up and down, she looked to be in her twenties, and although she was wearing an exquisite professional skirt, she couldn't hide her youthful aura.

A girl of this age should still be in college, so why did she suddenly come over to buy her own company?

This is not a joke, is it?

Of course, that's all he thought about, because although this girl is young, the people standing next to her seem to be elites in the workplace, most of them are in their 30s, and these people probably wouldn't go around with a college student .

"Who are you?" Brian asked.

"Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Effie. I am the president of the Facebook game company under Facebook Technology. This is my business card." The girl took out a business card from her small satchel and handed it to Bryan.

Brian's eyes widened when he heard about Facebook technology.

Although he had never heard of Effie's name, how could he not have heard of the name Facebook.

Even if he is not a person in the Internet industry, anyone who pays attention to the news will know that Facebook raised [-] million US dollars a while ago and made such a big noise.

Such a young girl is the president of some game company under Facebook? !

But if it really belongs to the Facebook company, then there is no problem in buying their own company, they are not short of money!

Taking the business card with both hands, Brian took a serious look, and sure enough, it said "Effie, Facebook Game Company, President" on it.

"Hello Mr. Ai, nice to meet you, let's sit down and talk." Brian became enthusiastic immediately.

To be honest, although the company's business has improved a bit in the past few years, only Brian knows the hardships inside.

On the mainland, it is really difficult to operate genuine games.

With such a big market, such a large population, and the agency rights of so many high-quality games in hand, it only takes 3000 to [-] million yuan in business a year, and it is shameful to say it!

In addition to the fiasco of this lawsuit, Brian is really fed up. If the price is right, he doesn't mind selling the company.

"I know about the Facebook game platform, and it's doing a great job. I registered when you first launched, and I often play cards on it. Let me give Mr. Ai a suggestion. There is a very popular card game abroad, called Texas Hold'em. It's a pity. There is no Facebook game yet, you can add it, I'm sure, this kind of gameplay will be very popular." Brian said sincerely.

Unexpectedly, this foreigner was quite enthusiastic, and he was not in a hurry to talk about selling the company. He came up with suggestions for the Facebook game platform first.

"Thank you Mr. Brian for your suggestion, I will seriously consider it." Effie said with a smile.

"By the way, I saw that after the Facebook game platform was launched, the winger immediately copied the UI design and overall layout of your platform, and even copied many functions from yours. Why didn't you sue them!" Brian thought of the winger platform again. , out of breath.

"Hehe, if Mr. Brian sells Ogilvy to us, then we will continue to appeal and sue the winger game for bankruptcy." Effie said seriously.

This sentence made Brian very satisfied. What he hates most now is Winger Games. It is this company that stole his interests and made him lose in court, discrediting him.

"Then let's talk about the company's price. I wonder how much your company plans to pay for my Ogilvy?" Brian also became serious.

This company is entirely invested by him personally, so he can negotiate directly with Effie without discussing with others.

"Last year, Ogilvy's annual revenue was more than 200 million. If I'm not wrong, the gross profit was about 500 million, and the net profit would not exceed 300 million."

Before coming here, Effie had done her homework.

Although Ogilvy Software is not listed and its finances are not disclosed, it still has a lot of employees after all, and some things can definitely be inquired about.

Brian was taken aback. He didn't expect the other party to know so much about his company's financial data, but it was no big deal. Since it was an acquisition, sooner or later all these data would be reported to the other party.

He nodded and said, "Yes, Ogilvy's revenue and profits are indeed not high. But Ogilvy's most valuable assets are not these, but..."

"It's the exclusive agency rights for those high-quality games!" Effie directly helped him out.

"Mr. Ai is right. Why am I the only one who can get these game agency rights, and many large software sales chains in the mainland can't get them? It's because of my connections in the game industry. I worked at Blizzard for quite a long time. For a period of time, I was very familiar with the entire European and American game circles and knew many people. So when I came to mainland China to start a business, those game companies trusted me, so they gave me the agency rights of those games." Brian said a little proudly.

His words should not be watered down. A small company like Ogilvy & Mather can obtain the agency rights of almost all the high-quality games of large European and American game companies. Brian still has two brushes.

"I agree with Mr. Brian's statement. Regarding the agency rights of these games, we will correctly evaluate their value." Effie nodded in approval.

"Then what price can your company offer?" Brian asked eagerly.

"500 million! The company is worth 600 million, and the game agency is worth 900 million." Effie replied calmly.

Brian hesitated for a moment. The price, how should I put it, neither brought him a surprise, nor could it be said to be too low.

It can only be said that the other party's valuation of Ogilvy is relatively accurate...

Ogilvy was founded by him seven years ago, with an initial investment of 100 million RMB. Now seven years have passed, and the profit brought by this company to him has not exceeded 1000 million!

If you can get 500 million by changing hands, it stands to reason that it is still acceptable.

However, he was a little reconciled. Negotiating, he always had to ask for a lot of money and pay back the money on the spot. If he couldn't do as much as the other party said, then he seemed a little too incompetent.

"This price...is a bit too low!" Brian gritted his teeth and said something against his will.

"Oh? How much does Mr. Brian think should be appropriate?" Effie asked with a smile.

"Two thousand... twenty-five million." After hesitating, Brian announced a number.

Effie didn't answer right away, she frowned slightly, considering whether the price was acceptable or not.

In fact, let alone 500 million, even if it was higher, she would still be able to afford it. With [-] million in cash, she is so confident!

However, the key to the question is whether it is worth it.

It is true that the Facebook game company is very rich now, but Yu Wenfei raised the money for her just now, and it is used for her to make the Facebook game bigger and stronger, not for her to squander it recklessly.

So, every penny spent is worth it.

As long as it is worth the money, she will not hesitate to spend more, but she will not waste any money that is not worth spending.

Because, she has to be worthy of Yu Wenfei's support and trust!

"That's good, 2000 million for a one-off price, 700 million will be paid in one lump sum, and the remaining 300 million will be divided into three years and paid to you in the form of annual salary. That is to say, you will work on Facebook for three years, and the job responsibilities are mainly responsible for Communicate with European and American game companies, and help them obtain agency rights or cooperation rights for the latest games."

After thinking for a while, Effie said her plan.

Brian was secretly delighted. Sure enough, he did nothing wrong. Isn't it 500 million more now?

Although I have to work for Facebook for three years, this is not a problem. He has lived in the mainland for seven or eight years, so it doesn't matter if he has another three years.

And after I went there, the job I was in charge of was still the business I was familiar with, so it was very easy.

Although he had agreed in his heart, Brian looked embarrassed on the surface, "Oh... this price... I feel..."
