Chinese publisher iDreamSky could be about to purchase Hong Kong-based games company Leyou Technologies for $1.4 billion. 

According to a report from Bloomberg, iDreamSky is currently searching for investors and partners to help finance the deal, while talks between the pair are still ongoing and a final decision has yet to be reached.

The proposed deal will reportedly see Leyou's controlling shareholder Charles Yuk sell off a hefty 69.2 percent stake in the firm, while he would also provide financing to help develop future titles. 

For those unfamiliar with either company, iDreamSky is best known for partnering with Western developers to help localize and launch their games in China.
