Chapter 239 Joining the Gaming Company
There were three young men sitting in the reception room of Easy Internet Technology Company.

They are the three founders of miHoYo Studios.

Cai, H.Y., Liu, W., and Luo, Y.H.

Cai Haoyu is a man with messy hair and a delicate appearance.

He couldn't help but ask the administrator who came to refill his tea, "Hello. Excuse me, is your boss here?"

"Boss? Sorry, I don't know."

The woman being questioned was only an administrative receptionist who was only responsible for entertaining them first and did not know the so-called details.

"Uh ok, thanks."

Seeing this, Cai Haoyu did not continue asking questions. After saying thank you to the girl who poured the tea, he looked at the other two boys beside him who also looked reserved.

"What should we do? Lao Luo."

"You ask me, who should I ask?" Luo Yuhao, who was called out, said with an unhappy look on his face.

Liu Wei, who had not spoken, smiled and comforted them:

"Don't worry, let's wait patiently. How about you guys go out and have a look? See what big companies are like and learn from them?"

Cai Haoyu shook his head and said, "I don't have the time to spare like you. Besides, their company isn't a big one, right?"

"Haha, it's not even a big company. The recently spun-off Kuaiya has a market value of several hundred million, right? Not to mention the main WIFI Master Key, which has a market value of at least 1 billion, right? You still look down on it?"

"I didn't say I looked down on them. I just wanted to have a positive attitude this time. We can't belittle ourselves just because they are big companies and want to invest in us. If they are willing to invest in us, it means they recognize us. What do you think, Lao Luo?"

Luo Yuhao said: "Let's talk about it first. It doesn't matter if we can't reach an agreement. They have reimbursed us for our air tickets and hotel. It's not a loss anyway."

"Oh, yes, there's no point staying in the studio. Game sales aren't increasing. If we can't come to an agreement, I might as well come out and relax." Cai Haoyu couldn't help but sigh and said.

"Don't think about it. It's a fact that FfyMe2theMoon has poor sales. There's no point thinking about it. Let's learn from the experience, get the investment and continue to explore and move forward."

"In the final analysis, we still don't have a clear understanding of the market. I saw someone posting on Tieba asking if there is an Android cracked version of FfyMe2theMoon. Tell me, are these people not willing to pay 18 yuan?"

"Haha, domestic users are so used to getting stuff for free, paid games just don't work at all at the moment!"

After all, the three of them are young people.

He is a young man who has just graduated from graduate school and is just starting out in society.

How can I keep calm?

Unconsciously, the topic returned to their failed game "FfyMe2theMoon", and everyone's hearts seemed to be shrouded in a dark cloud again.

They spent more than 100,000 yuan on this game and poured all their hard work into it, but it was destined to fail.

Because it has only been a month, their total sales are less than two thousand.

The selling price was 18 yuan, and the total revenue was only more than yuan.

Lose all your money!
Fell to the ground and ended up at grandma's house!

The early stages were so bleak that there was no hope of it becoming a big hit again in the future.

The market reaction speaks for itself.

The three of them talked for a while and reviewed the reasons for the failure.

The reasons are nothing more than "underestimating the IOS user market", "biased early market research", "the game itself is not very attractive" and so on.

At this time, when the three of them analyzed the situation, they all spoke very logically and just like wise after the event.

Even a violent quarrel broke out, but to no avail.

They all knew that no matter how much they talked, they could not avoid the fact that they had already failed.

These topics have been discussed more than once.

They are even in a state of panic, trying every possible means to attract investors.

Otherwise they wouldn't be sitting here at this moment.

On Friday, Cai Haoyu received a call from a female voice who expressed her intention to invest in them.

Their team of three was prepared to face failure.

We plan to regroup, attract investment again, and develop new projects.

At first they were a little surprised and thought it was a scam.

But how could it be such a coincidence?
Hand me a pillow when you feel sleepy?
It was not until the other party offered to buy round-trip tickets and provide accommodation that they put aside their concerns and agreed to come and meet him.

Of course, the most important thing is the reputation of Qingsong Technology Internet Company.

The three of them discussed for a moment again, then waited in silence.

Suddenly, Cai Haoyu stood up and couldn't help but say:
"It's almost half past ten and no one has come yet. Are they trying to trick us? No, I'm going to go ask Sister Zhao."

Just now.

With a creak, the door was pushed open and a boy who looked younger than the three of them walked in.

It was Yang Xiao, and behind him was his assistant Zhao Qian who had brought them here earlier.

Zhao Qian didn't stop, nodded to Yang Xiao and walked out again.

Yang Xiao looked at Cai Haoyu and the other two and said, "I'm sorry, everyone. Something delayed me last night."

Yang Xiao was busy until most of the night last night and didn't sleep well today.

What's more, he had to send Luo Yao to school, which delayed him for some time.

The meeting was originally scheduled for ten o'clock, but it was delayed by half an hour.

Cai Haoyu asked: "Uh, who are you?"

"I am your investor, Yang Xiao."

Upon hearing this, Cai Haoyu and the other two were shocked. They never expected that the person they had been waiting for for such a long time would be such a young boy.

“Are you the boss of Easy Internet Access Company?”

"You can say that."

Cai Haoyu and the other two are still unfamiliar with Yang Xiao.

Because the equity information of Qingsong Online was not transparent, and Huang Zhengfei was the top leader in charge of the work on weekdays, they thought that Huang Zhengfei was interested in them.

This time, Zhao Qian contacted them in the name of Easy Internet Company.

They had no idea of ​​the influence Yang Xiao had on the Internet.

So, seeing that Yang Xiao was so young, the three of them couldn't help but relax and were not so nervous anymore.

But no matter what, regardless of Yang Xiao’s shareholding position in the Easy Class Company, just considering that Yang Xiao is currently their investor, Cai Haoyu and the other two did not dare to be too presumptuous.

But Cai Haoyu still had many questions in his mind, so he asked politely:

"Boss Yang, may I ask why you want to invest in us?"

Yang Xiao sat in the main seat and looked at them with a smile:
"Nothing, I just like the style of your games and I'm quite optimistic about you guys, but your game FfyMe2theMoon isn't selling well on iOS, right?"

Cai Haoyu and the other two didn't say anything, just nodded and frankly acknowledged the defeat.

"You should all be able to find the problem, so I won't say much. I want to ask, have you decided what your next project will be?"

"The next project, well, has a rough outline for now."

Yang Xiao was neither satisfied nor dissatisfied with his answer.

To be honest, in his eyes, these three people were still very reserved and too immature.

Yang Xiao simply got straight to the point and asked, "Okay, just tell me, how much money do you want? And how many shares can you give me?"

The three of them looked at each other, wondering if this brother was so straightforward. Then they came up with a number. "Five hundred thousand, 5% of the shares, okay?"

Yang Xiao smiled when he heard this: "Haha, a failed game company dares to be valued at 10 million?"

"you"

When the three heard this, their expressions suddenly became a little ugly.

Are you saying this with such contempt?
Liu Wei, who was standing by, had a bad temper: "If you don't want to, forget it. Why bother saying such things?"

Cai Haoyu winked at Liu Wei, signaling him to shut up.

He then said, "Boss Yang, don't mind if he can't speak. We can talk slowly."

He also knew that the price was a bit exaggerated.

But since they were already here, and the other party had even offered to cover their airfare and hotel, they decided to have a good talk.

Moreover, as an Internet technology company, what kind of channel capabilities do the two products of Yang Xiao’s Qingsong Internet Technology Company have?

To be honest, it's just an investor's money, hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, so it doesn't matter if the deal fails.

They can still swallow their pride and continue looking for other people.

But the resources behind Yang Xiao are too beneficial to them.

It's just a thigh!

They knew that once they got in touch with Yang Xiao, the other party's promotion through channels would bring much greater results than actual money.

This is the shortcut to success!
You really need to speak with respect!
Yang Xiao waved his hand to indicate that it didn't matter.

In the previous life, the only investor was called Song Tao.

He spent 100 million to buy 15% of miHoYo's shares at the time. In the eyes of the world, this investment was the most valuable investment in miHoYo, with a return of thousands of times.

But in fact, at that time, this behavior seemed really stupid.

MiHoYo is not worth that much money at all!
This is also a big gamble.

I don’t know whether they saw the potential of this founding team or they really believed in their value investment.

Yang Xiao was unwilling to talk too much at this time, and said:
"How about this, I'll give you two million and give me 30% of the shares."

“30%? No way!”

"Impossible, there are too many!"

"Let's go, we can't come to an agreement, let's not talk anymore."

As soon as these words were spoken, they were unanimously opposed by Cai Haoyu and the other two. Liu Wei even wanted to get up and leave.

Yang Xiao smiled and asked, "Do you know Bilibili?"

"Yes, we are also users of Bilibili."

"I forgot to tell you that I also have investments there, and I'm one of the major shareholders."

"What? You also have investments in Bilibili?"

Cai Haoyu, who was serious about talking about things, asked.

"Do I have to lie to you? If you know Bishi, you can go and ask her."

"I believe he and I are still in the same QQ group. He said he received the investment in the first half of the year? Was that the time?"

"Well, if you make another 2D style game in the future, I can take the initiative to put an ad on your homepage for promotion, and give you some resources, including the current Kuaiya and WIFI Master Key, which can provide you with channels. Of course, at least the game you make is fun enough."

Liu Wei said unconvincedly: "Then you want too many shares."

Yang Xiao smiled and did not comment.

"I'm sorry, but 30% is my bottom line, and I think my offer is the highest in the market."

"Can we think about this?"

"Okay, I'll give you fifteen minutes to think about it. I'll be out for a while."

Yang Xiao got up, walked out and went to the bathroom.

He didn't want to give these three people too much face.

Yang Xiao thought that this price was already very high.

What is even more valuable than this price is the ambition of these three entrepreneurial college students.

He is fearless and thinks that as long as he holds the shares in his hands, he will get high-value returns in the future.

But why?
Yang Xiao’s current investment in miHoYo is still a value investment.

Even though Honkai Impact 3rd was a huge hit, he didn’t get much money.

There are so many things he can do now.

Waiting for "Genshin Impact" to come out?
There are still seven or eight years!
To be honest, this cycle is too long!

This 200 million deal, if it works, it works. If it doesn’t, it doesn’t matter. Just do other things!

Yang Xiao has already listed all the conditions.

If the other party disagrees, it is just that they do not know what is good for them.

In the reception room.

Liu Wei snorted: "This Mr. Yang, is he some rich second generation from somewhere? He is totally disrespectful, asking for 30% right away. Is two million a lot?"

Cai Haoyu teased: "Haha, not much, but can you take it out?"

"This"

"Lao Luo, what's your opinion?"

Luo Yuhao said: "If it is true as Mr. Yang said, that he has so many channel resources, I think it is also possible."

Liu Wei was still unwilling: "But he asked for too much."

Cai Haoyu said, "Liu Wei, think about it. If we had established a relationship with Mr. Yang earlier, the sales of this game would probably be much higher than this. We should have a long-term vision, understand? And with this investment, we can focus on the next project. We will have enough bullets and a way out. Isn't that good?"

"Old Cai is right. We can't limit our focus to the small amount of equity we have. If we fail again next time, we don't even know if our studio will still exist. No matter how many shares we have, if they are not valuable and we don't cash them out, they are just castles in the air."

Liu Wei was silent for a moment after hearing this.

But the other two knew that if he didn't say anything, it meant he agreed.

After a while, Yang Xiao came in again and asked with a smile:
"Everyone, how are you thinking about this?"

"We accept this investment plan, but the money must be in place all at once."

Cai Haoyu's tone was very firm, fearing that Yang Xiao would pay in installments.

For example, there may be 200,000 in the early stage, and then several hundred thousand later.

There shouldn’t be too many investment cases like this.

"That's totally fine."

Yang Xiao stood up with a smile and stretched out his right hand.

Cai Haoyu and the other two also stood up and shook hands with Yang Xiao with a smile.

Then, Yang Xiao talked to them about the subsequent game ideas. He did not intend to interfere too much. At most, he would help them promote the game's development and launch progress.

After saying that, Yang Xiao left.

Zhao Qian then came over and discussed the subsequent contract signing matters with them.
