Chapter 12: Actually, I'm a Rich Second Generation
Yang Tianhua never expected that Zhang Yan was seriously considering acquiring Youxia Games. He thought they were just chatting, so he didn't hide anything and said directly, "I plan to sell our company as a package for two million."
"However, even though we have three games currently in operation, along with existing technology and employees, the company's financial records might not be attractive enough for big corporations to consider acquiring us. We'll definitely be undervalued."
"I estimate that selling it for around 1.5 million would be reasonable."
Saying this, Yang Tianhua sighed again.
Zhang Yan thought to himself, even at two million, acquiring Youxia Games wasn't expensive at all.
The employees in the company each had several years of experience, which in itself was a valuable asset.
So, without hesitation, Zhang Yan seriously said, "Brother Yang, how about this? You don't need to look for other buyers. Just sell the company to me directly."
"I'll buy it for two million, no negotiations. And you can stay as the general manager. I'll even give you 20% equity. How about that?"
Yang Tianhua was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Kid, now you're joking with me?"
Zhang Yan said, "Brother Yang, I'm not joking."
He paused, realizing that it was normal for Yang Tianhua not to believe him. After all, he was just an employee. Coming up with two million to buy the company really did sound crazy.
So Zhang Yan simply made something up and said, "Brother Yang, let me be honest with you. Actually, I'm a rich second generation. I joined the company just to experience life."
"Hahaha…" Yang Tianhua laughed even harder, patted Zhang Yan's shoulder, and said, "I never knew you were this funny."
"Next thing I know, some old man will walk in with a group of men in black suits, kneel down, and say, 'Lord Asura, the three-year term is up. Welcome back, Lord Asura!'"
"Brother Yang, I'm serious…" Zhang Yan was speechless. He thought for a moment, then pulled out his phone and showed Yang Tianhua a bank transfer notification of 20 million.
"Look, Brother Yang. This is the startup fund my family gave me. The reason I want to quit is to use this money to do something big."
Yang Tianhua stopped laughing and glanced at Zhang Yan's phone. He saw that there really was a deposit of 20 million, and the message was from the bank, so it couldn't be fake.
In an instant, Yang Tianhua was shocked.
"Holy crap, you're actually a rich second generation?!" Yang Tianhua immediately stood up from his chair.
Zhang Yan smiled, "Of course."
"This… this…" Yang Tianhua was speechless for a long time, clearly struggling to process the fact that his employee was actually a rich second generation.
Zhang Yan laughed, "Alright, Brother Yang. Are you considering my offer? Since you're selling the company anyway, why not sell it to me?"
"If we work together to rebuild this company, I'll take 80% of the shares, and you take 20%. With our combined efforts and my financial backing, we can take Youxia Games to new heights!"
Zhang Yan's words deeply moved Yang Tianhua.
Youxia Games had been his hard work for years. If he sold it to someone else, he would really feel reluctant.
However, if he sold it to Zhang Yan and still retained 20% ownership, that would be a satisfying outcome.
But he didn't want to take advantage of Zhang Yan, so after calming down, he said honestly, "Zhang Yan, we're friends, so I won't hide anything from you."
"You know the company's situation. If you take over, you'll probably have to invest at least tens of thousands every month just to keep it running. To turn a profit, we'd need to develop a new game, which would be another big expense."
"If the new game is a success, that's great. But if it fails, the financial losses will be even worse…"
"Don't worry, Brother Yang. I understand all of that," Zhang Yan nodded. "It just so happens that I already have a game plan we can try."
"Plus, I have the funds. I'm very confident that we can revive Youxia Games."
"But I need someone with management experience to help run the company, and you're the perfect candidate."
After hearing this, Yang Tianhua was completely convinced.
Excited, he stood up and said, "Alright! Zhang Yan, I really appreciate your trust. If you're not joking with me, then I'm willing to sell you the company. As for the terms, let's stick to what you said."
"But about the price—I won't take advantage of you. 1.5 million, not a penny more!"
After a brief pause, Yang Tianhua added, "Don't argue with me about this. If you can really turn Youxia Games around, I'd be willing to give you the company for free."
Zhang Yan chuckled and didn't insist. He agreed immediately.
The two of them quickly reached an agreement. Zhang Yan would invest 1.5 million to acquire all the shares of Youxia Games, while Yang Tianhua would stay with the company as the general manager.
From now on, Zhang Yan would officially be the boss.
