The penniless son of the penniless ...

Chapter 329 The Omitted Blizzard
However, before Jin Zhengzhou could make a decision, Zhang Junfeng from Comet Capital called him first.

"President Kim, Nexon's game development work will continue to move forward without any worries. As for AOL's troubles, Comet Capital has already figured it out. AOL will withdraw the lawsuit within a week. At the same time, Comet Capital will sue the other party for spreading rumors and demand compensation for defamation."

Hearing Zhang Junfeng's confident voice coming from the phone, Jin Zhengzhou was also overjoyed. He didn't expect that his president would be so powerful and could help them solve such a difficult problem so quickly. Now they don't have to worry about this kind of thing anymore!
"Yes, President! We will complete the testing of the game Tactical Commanders as soon as possible and strive to officially launch it before the end of July!" Without any worries, Jin Zhengzhou is full of confidence in his company's game development progress.

As the "epoch-making" game product promoted by the company this year, "Broken Galaxy" is the world's first "online real-time strategy game for tens of thousands of people" and has been given high hopes by all of them.

……

Zhang Junfeng was also pleased to hear Jin Zhengzhou's solemn promise to him. If Nexon's R&D capabilities did not fall behind, then it would definitely be able to occupy half of the Internet game market in Korea and even Asia~!

As for Europe and America...wait, Blizzard Entertainment should have also made its mark at this point, right? A very familiar name quickly flashed through Zhang Junfeng's mind. Zhang Junfeng still remembered the high praise from the future saying "Blizzard products are high-quality products"!

Although since 2018, a series of stupid behaviors of the company's senior management almost brought the company to its death, their strength in game development is still obvious to all. Both the "StarCraft" and "Diablo" series of games have a large number of fans and amazing sales around the world.

If you can take advantage of the fact that the other party's market value does not skyrocket, you will have a "cash cow" with extremely high gold content in your hands!

Zhang Junfeng, who had a new idea, planned to contact Nacho Morgan in the United States in the evening and ask the financial tycoon for help. It should not be too difficult to acquire Blizzard Entertainment. After all, the current market value of Blizzard Entertainment would not exceed 10 billion US dollars at most, so it should not be difficult to acquire it.

------Dividing line------

While Korea and Longguo were in an uproar over the transnational copyright infringement case of AOL, the headquarters of Hutchison Whampoa in Hong Kong once again welcomed the representative of Mannesmann, Charles Foster.

Currently, the competition for the management rights of Orange has become a three-way battle. The senior management of Mannesmann has tried to increase their shareholding ratio through targeted capital increase, but it was directly rejected by Hutchison Whampoa and Vodafone at the board meeting.

This also led to the fact that whether Mannesmann or Vodafone wanted to completely take over the management rights of this company, they had to obtain the shares held by Hutchison Whampoa. Looking at Li Ka Shing's hateful old face, Charles Foster kept saying "Fuck you" in his heart, but now he had to ask for help, so he had to patiently accept the other party's sky-high price.

"Mr. Foster, I didn't expect that we would meet again after more than a month. As for the sale of O-Ran's shares, I think Mannesmann should be quite clear about our requirements..." Li Ka Shing looked at the blond foreigner in front of him with a smile on his face, feeling quite happy.

He and his trusted subordinates had been planning for so many years, and even the two telecom giants, Mannesmann and Vodafone, had not fallen into his trap and made wedding clothes for him in vain? !
"...After discussion by our company's board of directors, we are willing to offer 140 billion euros in cash and 6% of Mannesmann's shares as the final price of the acquisition. Even Vodafone cannot offer a higher price than this~!" Charles Foster said with a gloomy face.

If the operating rights of Orange were not of great value to them in defeating Vodafone, how could those directors offer such an outrageous price to acquire a company that is smaller than their own?
Seeing Charles Foster's resolute attitude this time, Li Jiacheng also fell into deep thought. The price offered by the other party was almost their upper limit, and even if they delayed further, they might not offer a higher price.

If it takes too long, the top executives of the two companies will react, and it will be difficult for Orange to sell at a high price! After all, the reason why the price is so high now is mainly because the two companies are still fighting hard.

Once the relationship between them eases, his plan of "selling oranges at a sky-high price" will be ruined!

Thinking of this, Li Ka Shing no longer had the intention to continue arguing with the other party. After simply confirming the specific transaction method and the specific time for the acquisition funds to arrive with the other party, he readily signed the share transfer contract with the other party.

More than ten minutes later, as two copies of the contract were signed, Li Ka Shing, in a good mood, smiled and teased Charles Foster, "I think after taking over the management rights of Orange, Mannesmann will definitely defeat Vodafone in one fell swoop. By then, the European telecommunications industry will definitely be dominated by Mannesmann~!"

Hearing the "pertinent" and heartfelt words from the greedy old fox Li Ka Shing, Charles Foster's face also looked much better. He said proudly, "The senior management of Vodafone is not as far-sighted and courageous as us. After we defeat them, we, Mannesmann, will enter the global telecommunications industry~!"

"Then I wish Mr. Ster a promotion and a raise in salary! After all, he completed the acquisition of Orange and was a great contributor to the development and growth of Mannesmann!" Li Ka Shing was very "smart" in flattering the other party. After all, this "good man" had just given him hundreds of millions of euros!
……

The news of Mannesmann's successful acquisition of Orange quickly spread across Europe! Many investors and investment institutions that were still on the sidelines began to favor Mannesmann. In just over a day, Mannesmann's stock price saw a huge rise, and the market value gap between it and the number one Vodafone was further narrowed.
