MIDAS SHARE TIPS UPDATE: Our Sumo tip was ahead of the game

When Carl Cavers started video games group Sumo in 2003, a friend lent him somewhere to work free of charge because he and his three co-founders could not afford to pay any rent.  None of them took a salary and early employees accepted peppercorn wages, in the hope that they could work together and build up a meaningful business.  Those hopes proved well-placed. Last week, Cavers recommended a £5.13 a share bid from Chinese tech giant Tencent, valuing Sumo at £919million.  In the bag?: Sumo, which developed Sackboy: A Big Adventure, is set to be bought by Chinese firm Tencent Sheffield-based Sumo has clearly come a long way in the past 18 years.

ALEX BRUMMER: Beijing games the system to poach homegrown UK talent

Tencent is not an unknown in the UK. It has won influence through education donations and the funding of chairs at Britain s top universities including Oxford, Cambridge and Edinburgh.

It also has powerful support in the investment community. Tencent became the biggest holding of Baillie Gifford s Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust when it sold out of Tesla earlier this year.  All of this makes the Tencent offer too cosy. It might have been hoped that the board would have put up resistance, given it is graced by Ian Livingstone as chairman and Michael Sherwin as senior non-executive, two heavy hitters from Games Workshop. Instead it embraced the predator without a smidgen of dissent.
