Chapter 128 Business Negotiation
In a business meeting room on the 28th floor of Luminance Peak.
The conference room was very large and spacious, with tempered floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides. The glass was spotless and transparent. Standing in this office, one could easily overlook the bustling city of Mystic Hollow.
Luminance Peak was definitely a great place. Many prominent Internet companies rented office spaces, offices, conference rooms, and more here. Even the conference room of Penguin Company's Mystic Hollow branch was located in Luminance Peak.
Unfortunately, despite the nice view, Hilda had no interest in admiring it.
Hilda's mind was entirely focused on a middle-aged man, Benjamin Thorne.
At this moment, there were two teams in the conference room.
The first team was Shark Company's executives, represented by Hilda.
The second team was Penguin Company's negotiation team, represented by Benjamin.
Benjamin was the manager of Penguin Company's business department. Over the years, he had been responsible for helping Penguin Company acquire small companies with promising prospects.
Penguin Company was absolutely a legendary company in the Golden Valley internet industry.
In its early days, Penguin Company, founded by Adam, succeeded with its instant messaging software. At that time, Penguin Company was struggling so much that Adam had to pretend to be a girl online to attract customers. It was far from the current glory of having hundreds of millions of users.
Around the year 2000, Penguin Company finally went public in Twilight Town. However, even then, Penguin Company was still not highly regarded.
Penguin Company's foundation lay in its instant messaging software. After that, Penguin Company designed WhatsApp, which became a major player in communications.
However, Penguin Company was ambitious, aiming to build an entire Internet ecosystem, from instant messaging software to online games, single-player games, shopping websites, antivirus software, news websites, video websites, and even the film and entertainment industry. There was nothing Penguin Company didn't get involved in.
In its early years, when Penguin Company had no money, it would "borrow" ideas from competitors and then use its vast user base to defeat them.
Over the years, Penguin Company had acquired many games and companies with large user bases.
Shark Company wanted one billion dollars for 25% of its shares.
But Penguin Company was only willing to offer 800 million!
Now, the negotiations were at a stalemate!
"One billion dollars!" Hilda's eyes were sharp as she looked at Benjamin across the table. "Our live streaming's 25% shares are definitely worth one billion dollars! You have to know how popular our live streaming is right now!"
Benjamin replied coldly, "But your live streaming hasn't turned a profit yet. Our Company is willing to offer 800 million, which is already quite generous!"
Hilda said, "Benjamin, you can't put it that way! Once our live streaming goes public, this 25% share will be worth far more than one billion dollars! It could be two billion, three billion! I'm only asking for one billion, which is already very cheap! You should understand my sincerity in this cooperation!"
Benjamin said, "But for your live streaming to go public, you need the power of our company! Our company's power is enough to get your live streaming listed. After going public, Hilda, your net worth could increase tenfold easily! So giving up two hundred million isn't too much of a price!"
