Chapter 1047 Acquisition of Bilibili

Cheng Rui, who turned off his phone, thought that no one could disturb him now and he could safely consider whether to abandon Station B.

But within a few minutes, there was a knock on the door outside the office.

"Mr. Cheng, the financial report for 20 years has been prepared and sent to your mailbox, but the message sent to you has not been read..."

The secretary explained his purpose.

"Yes, I understand." Cheng Rui rubbed his temples and turned on the computer.

He was still hesitant at first, but after just two glances at the financial report, he made up his mind.

"Forget it, let's sell it. Anyway, it's just for voting rights, so there are still a lot of shares left."

Cheng Rui comforted him in his heart.

It's not that he doesn't feel sorry for the career he has worked so hard for for more than ten years, but the future is really bleak.

If he had just started station B, he would still have gritted his teeth and persisted because he had nothing to lose.

But it would be unrealistic for him to continue to fight with the belief that he will lose everything.

So Cheng Rui chose to compromise. At least station B fell into the hands of a capable person who also loves the second dimension, which is not too bad.

So Cheng Rui asked his subordinates to prepare the equity transfer document. At the same time, he packaged and sent the financial reports, investments, liabilities, and various projects under construction of Station B in recent years to Luo Quan.

"OK."

Luo Quan replied simply, but he was actually happy inside.

She originally thought that the process of acquiring Station B would be quite bumpy, but she didn't expect it to be so smooth.

Although Bilibili looks shaky now, as Cheng Rui said, Bilibili is irreplaceable and has the highest user stickiness among several video apps.

It is unlikely that it will go bankrupt in a short period of time, and there are many people willing to take over.

It’s just that it’s unclear whether Station B can still retain some of the two-dimensional flavor.

It can only be said that his identity as an old user of station B was the decisive factor in promoting this transaction. If his identity were changed, Cheng Rui would never give up his hard work to anyone else.

But no matter what, Station B is now available.

As for whether he can bring it back to its peak, Luo Quan himself has no idea, but it will definitely not be worse than it is now.

Cheng Rui's various reports were also sent over, and Luo Quan took a look at the financial report first.

It really doesn't look good.

Although revenue is growing, losses are growing at a faster rate.

We lost 3 billion the year before last and 8 billion last year. I don’t know yet at the beginning of this year, but if we follow this trend, we will lose 10 billion at least.

The good news is that with my own wealth, I can still withstand such losses.

Not to mention my income in the entertainment industry, the returns from my initial investment in Nikola Motors can completely make up for the losses of Station B.

The most important thing is that this year, Bilibili took over the business, and its revenue will definitely be able to turn around.

After obtaining the data, Luo Quan was ready to let the professionals in his company analyze it.

But after looking at the time, it was already twelve o'clock in the evening. If you disturb someone's dream at this time, you will be scolded behind your back.

So Luo Quan still chose to wait until tomorrow morning.

But the lights at the B station headquarters are brightly lit, and almost all employees are working overtime.

The transfer of equity and leadership is not something that can be done simply by signing a report. It involves a lot of severing of interests, and a larger company may not be able to figure it out in a week.

The employees were very busy, and Cheng Rui was not idle either.

Several major shareholders were woken up overnight, and upon questioning they found out that Station B had been sold by Cheng Rui.

Penguin and Alibaba are okay. After all, these two companies have invested a lot at home and abroad. Erma probably doesn't even know how much investment they have.

This share of Bilibili would have been quite impressive two years ago, but now, it is better than nothing.

Therefore, the representatives of these two companies did not say much at the meeting. They would do business for everyone. Maybe the situation would be better if they changed their bosses.

When I heard that the person who acquired the company was Luo Quan, the representative of Penguin was quite happy. After all, the two parties have cooperated countless times and the relationship is quite close. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are half Penguin.

The representative of Alibaba was expressionless. Maybe Alibaba almost regarded Bilibili as another bad investment.

Over the years, Alibaba has invested in various fields, but either it has been unable to do what it has done, or the business it has invested in has gone bad. Each one has failed and the other has failed, and it has been jokingly called the industry's dark lamp.

Compared with Penguin's "angel investment", the gap is really stark.

Although its reputation in China is not very good, penguins are still very popular abroad.

However, this meeting was not held by these two large companies, but by the two original major shareholders, Li Li and Xu Yi.

The two of them were Cheng Rui's right-hand men when he started out, and they witnessed Station B reach its peak and turn from prosperity to decline.

It’s hard to say how much love there is left for Bilibili, but it’s definitely not willing to just hand over control of Bilibili.

In the past, Cheng Rui only had 40 voting rights. If he made any outrageous decision, several shareholders could unite to check and balance it.

Now that Luoquan has directly obtained more than 50 voting rights after the acquisition, then Bilibili is equivalent to her voice. So what other say can they, the veterans, have?

I guess I just have to wait for dividends every year.

"I don't know what's wrong with you, Cheng Rui, isn't it because your cash flow has been cut off? Let's work together to find a solution. Is it necessary to hand over Station B to others!"

After receiving the news, Li Li hurried to the company. With her disheveled hair and bared teeth and claws, she looked like a female ghost.

"Station B is not only your hard work, but also ours. You made such a decision without even saying hello. Do you regard us as yours?"

It is said that men are more rational when dealing with problems, but it also depends on the situation.

Xu Yi and Cheng Rui have worked together for more than ten years. They don't say they regard each other as brothers, but their friendship is definitely deep. When they asked this question, they really felt uncomfortable in their hearts.

In fact, everyone is well aware of the situation at Station B. The rupture of capital flow is really not something that can be solved by everyone working together. It is not a bad thing to let Luo Quan take over.

But before you make a decision, you should at least tell everyone. Do you really think that Station B is your own industry?

The two elders asked sternly, and Cheng Rui slowly took off his eyes and wiped them with a rag: "I was actually a little wavering at the beginning, because I was afraid that if I asked you to discuss it, I would not be able to make up my mind.

But my gut tells me this is the best option.

Although the voting rights have been transferred, I am still the second largest shareholder and will still coexist with Bilibili.

Moreover, Luo Quan also promised that most of the company's senior management would not be adjusted, and everyone would continue to do whatever they should do in the future.

But with a new boss, it’s best not to bring over some of the old habits. After all, I don’t know what kind of temper she has. "

As long as a company has more than 50 employees, it is impossible for it to avoid corruption.

The bigger the company, the more it becomes like this. Small greed is worth a few thousand, while big greed is millions or more.

Cheng Rui knew that there was such a situation within the company, but he had never investigated it seriously. At most, he only took action when he encountered someone who went too far.

Most of the time, he turned a blind eye.

But now that the government has changed, it is unclear whether the new boss can tolerate these behaviors.

Based on his limited understanding of Luo Quan, this is a master who can't tolerate any sand in his eyes.

So out of affection, he gave this reminder. Whether he could understand it or not had nothing to do with him.

He had another phone call with Luo Quan just now, asking how to proceed with the future work.

The answer was to take over the position of vice president of Bilibili and then focus on the mobile game business.

Of course, she won't let herself work alone. Blizzard Studio will send a large number of people to cooperate in research and development.

It is said that the leaders are three young people who graduated from Shanghai Jiaotong University, one with the surname Cai, one with the surname of Liu, and one with the surname of Luo.

These three are all talents in the computer field. They have won many international awards for making small games while they were still studying.

After graduation, he was quickly recruited by Luoquan's game studio. For the past six months, no one knew what they were doing, but Cheng Rui would soon find out.

"That's all I have to say. In short, I will keep the stock. I don't have any opinion on whether you transfer it or not."

Cheng Rui put on his glasses again, his eyes became relaxed and clear.

After he was relieved of the heavy burden, Cheng Rui felt that his whole mentality was different.

I used to suffer from insomnia all night long, but now that I'm in a meeting, sleepiness has come to my mind.

He couldn't wait to get back to sleep.

When the two elders saw Cheng Rui's attitude, they finally sighed and stopped having useless arguments.

At noon the next day, the equity transfer was basically completed, and Luo Quan officially became the president of Bilibili.

At this time, Bilibili had just closed in the United States, and its stock price was still falling all day long, but it will definitely not be like this after the next opening.

"Follow the live broadcast at noon. I have two important news to announce to you today."

Luo Quan sent a notice to fans at ten o'clock in the morning, and fans quickly gathered:

"you are pregnant?"

"Yes, it was me."

"Boy, please calm down."

"Isn't it because the new game finally has a look?"

"The insiders know everything, something big is coming!"

"Where are you from?"

"Halfway through the words, the anus is being..."

"It's so painful. Can't you tell the big guys directly? You have to keep it secret."

"Just wait, it's only two hours."

………………

Obviously, fans have not realized the seriousness of the problem and do not know what the important news predicted by Luo Quan is.

At 12 noon, Luo Quan, who had finished lunch, opened the live broadcast room and changed the title to President Luo.

Because she was originally the president of Quanshui Entertainment, this title did not arouse everyone's discussion. They just thought that she was showing off again.

"First things first."

Luo Quan saw that the popularity had reached more than 10 million, and felt that it was almost there, so he said: "Blizzard Studio will officially change its name to Unreal Studio after the Spring Festival.

After New Year's Eve, there will no longer be a Blizzard Studio. "

"What? Are you calling everyone out just for this?"

"I thought it was some big news."

"That's it? That's it? That's it?"

"Luobao, you've also learned bad things, haven't you? You've started to engage in false marketing."

"Even if you show your shoulders during the live broadcast, it will be more exciting than this news."

"Haha, it's quite a beautiful thought."

………………

Fans were obviously very dissatisfied when they heard the first news from Luo Quan.

Although it is not common for a studio to change its name, it is definitely not a big news. There is no need to use such a tone to announce it. Fortunately, a group of fans have been waiting for so long, thinking that they can wait for the news they want.

"Don't be anxious, everyone." Luo Quan said with a smile on his face, "This is just the first piece of news, there is a second piece of news that I haven't said yet.

Don’t blame me for not reminding you. Sit tight next. I announced that I acquired the equity of Bilibili from my uncle last night. I now hold 40% of the equity and 51% of the equity. Voting rights.

In other words, from now on, I have the final say at Station B! "

"???????"

"Fuck me!"

"real or fake!"

"Luo Bao, are you sure you're not kidding!"

"Awesome, it turns out this is a surprise."

"I take back what I just said. It seems that Luo Bao has really prepared a big news."

"Uncle, I really sent it this time."

"Haha, that's not the case. With the shares in Cheng Rui's hands, he is still the second largest shareholder."

"My assessment is, buy stocks quickly, they will rise!"

"It's closed. It won't open until tonight. Guys, hurry up and borrow money."

"Borrow money? I'll directly increase the leverage tenfold!"

"Good guy, is my brother so cruel?"

"The stock market is like this. It will suffocate the brave to death and starve to death the timid. I choose the song "Xin Luoquan".

……………………

Seeing the sudden increase in the number of comments, you can tell how much impact this news has on fans.

They never expected that Luo Quan would acquire Station B.

This is a career that my uncle has been working hard for for more than ten years. Why don’t you just give it up if you don’t want it?

If this is the case, then the current situation at station B must be very unoptimistic, otherwise the uncle would have made such a decision after being kicked in the head.

Of course, even if Luo Quan said it here alone, he couldn't be sure whether it was true or false.

But soon, hot searches began to appear on Station B, Weibo, and Zhihu - Luoquan acquired Station B.

The popularity reached the top spot almost instantly, and the number of comments increased by thousands every time it was refreshed.

As one of the platforms with the largest traffic at the moment, Bilibili’s influence is absolutely unquestionable.

At its peak, it was also a giant with a market value of nearly 100 billion.

Although he is now down and out, his every move is still eye-catching.

What's more, Luo Quan is also involved in this news, and her traffic is even worse than that of Station B.

Luoquan's acquisition of Station B directly caused the shock of all netizens today.
