Without direct ownership, this could still lead to significant impact for WY. This could lead to a loss beyond billions of yuan if not properly handled. If I had the choice, I would rather not deal with fans like these,” Yuri Johnson pondered.

“No need. That’s why I’m here to discuss with you, Mr. Johnson. I want to ask, how much are you willing to sell your shares of WY for?” Finn Lewis asked with a grin.

Yuri nearly spat out the tea he had just taken a sip of. What a blatant question! It’s one thing to ask, but if you said you were interested in WY for its prospects, its future, I could understand that! But you want to acquire the company just because the game doesn’t align with your tastes? How am I supposed to handle that?

Doesn’t he get any credit for being the founder of WY? It had taken years of hard work to grow IVY into what it is now: But now you’re saying, ‘I’m not satisfied with the changes in the game, I want to acquire your company and make changes according to my preferences.’… That’s just… Yuri felt his heart was bursting with tears. How can we have a proper conversation this way?

Julia Parker, sitting behind Finn, was trying not to laugh. She had played WY’s games, including the wildly popular Dream Westward Journey, for many years. So she was pretty familiar with Yuri. Just seeing the expression on his face was enough to send her into fits of silent laughter.

Imagine if this scene was captured and posted on the official forums of WY’s games, the players would probably go crazy. Does it feel like Yuri is being toyed with? And I bet Finn would instantly become the idol of all players. Isn’t it amazing to take gaming to such an extent?

“Mr. Lewis, please don’t joke around, I have no intentions of selling WY.” Even though he was slightly irritated, Yuri managed to put on a serious face.”

“How about 10 billion Federal coins for your 52% share? According to the current market value of WY, that’s about a 33% premium. It’s an extremely high return.” Finn suggested with a smile.

Yuri’s hand shook violently. He despised these rich types! Could you be any more audacious with your offer? “Not selling!” Yuri resolutely shook his head. A premium of 30% would be worthless to him.

“20 billion Federal coins.” Finn smiled and raised his offer.

This time, not only did Yuri’s hand tremble, but his secretary behind him also couldn’t help but shudder. The whole company of /VY is worth only 14-4 billion Federal coins, and yet Finn wanted to buy 52% share for 20 billion Federal coins… that’s nearly three times the premium price.

How long would it take for him to earn 10 billion Federal coins back? He didn’t outright deny the offer this time. His heart pounded in his chest. That’s 20 billion Federal coins, not 20 yuan! They were talking about it as nonchalantly as if they were just throwing thousands of yuan around. Was this really happening?!

“Mr. Lewis, don’t you think you’re joking a bit too much? Spending so much, is it worth it?” Yuri couldn’t fathom what Finn was thinking. Was he really willing to spend all this for a game? Buying the whole of WY? Was he actually trying to pick a fight with those gamers? If they asked him to buy the whole country of Belmare, would he actually do it?

“Of course it’s worth it, as long as it makes me happy. Isn’t life all about being happy? Otherwise, what’s the point of living?” Finn answered nonchalantly.

“Mr. Lewis, if you really want to do it for the reasons you just mentioned, can I just call my development team now and ask them to make the changes to your liking?” Yuri chuckled bitterly. It was 20 billion Federal coins he was talking about, but he held back. Even though it was a lot of money, accepting it would mean letting go of I,VY entirely. Yuri wasn’t sure what he would do for the rest of his life.

“Mr. Johnson, you’re still not willing to sell?” Finn tilted his head and asked.

Yuri reluctantly shook his head. The premium price was almost reaching his limit. He thought if Finn raised the price again, he wouldn’t be able to resist. Suddenly, he a thought came across his mind. Why did he feel so poor? He thought he was at least well off, not poor! But the way Finn doubled his prices, Yuri felt like he was no better than a poor man!

“I believe that is a company that you must sell to me, Mr. Johnson. Truly, I want to revamp Top Three according to my vision. But without buying WY, you guys wouldn’t be able to manage the change. You simply lack the power and ability,” Finn said, grinning.

“Mr. Lewis, what do you mean?” Though Yuri hesitated, he didn’t take offense to Finn’s statement that he must sell. Quite simple, Finn’s negotiation power was substantial, and Yuri wasn’t blind. Finn’s attire and the watch on his wrist were all signs that he was no ordinary man.

If he wasn’t an ordinary man, then he wasn’t here to mess around. Finn’s proposals could be validated immediately once he agreed to them. Even if Finn was toying with him, he had nothing to lose but a bit of time.

But do you think a man wearing custom-made clothes and a Breguet on his wrist would come here to mess with him just because he had nothing better to do? What benefits could possibly come from it?!

He had no reason to be angry, because he believed Finn could easily throw a few tens of billions more. Upon careful thought, Yuri realized he might not be able to resist that. For him, tens of billions would be his total fortune, but he had no idea how much it meant to Finn.

If Finn knew what he was thinking, he would probably scoff, “Of course, I don’t care. It’s not like I’m spending my own money.

“I genuinely believe that Top Three has run its course, and I believe that you agree with me. I have the technology to make Top Three compete with top games like World of Warcraft. I have a very powerful game engine. If a game is made using this engine, I believe it can outperform all the games currently on the market,” Finn contemplated before finally responding..
