Chapter 240 Yinhan Technology
"What? He's the 'Time' boss on the internet?"

After Yang Xiao left, Cai Haoyu learned the news during his conversation with Zhao Qian and was shocked.

"Ah? Don't you know? This is not a secret on the Internet."

Zhao Qian was also a little curious. Didn’t these three idiots do any careful checking before coming?
In other words, they neither use Weibo nor Tieba?
Luo Yuhao and Liu Wei are exactly the kind of people Zhao Qian thought they were.

Although they also surf the Internet, they really don't know what time is.

Cai Haoyu thought for a moment and explained, "He also wrote several songs. The song 'The Brightest Star in the Night Sky' was written by him, and the documentary 'Shamatte I Love You' that went viral two months ago was also written by him."

"Oh~ I see, I see. I didn't expect that Mr. Yang is so versatile."

Cai Haoyu didn’t explain much: “You guys can search Baidu by yourself, it’s awesome anyway, if we had known it earlier, we wouldn’t have to think about it~”

"Fuck! This Mr. Yang can also write books? He's so talented."

"Awesome! Both "Never Expected" and "Diaosi Man" are related to him. I've seen them both. They're so fucking funny."

"Sister Qian, is Mr. Yang coming?"

"What? Not coming? Let him give us some more guidance on entrepreneurship~"

Liu Wei, who had been unconvinced before, has put on a completely new look.

Zhao Qian thought for a moment and said, "Oh, Mr. Yang asked me to tell you something."

"What?" The three of them perked up and waited for what to come.

Zhao Qian was only a few years older than these three people. When they stared at her with their sharp eyes, her face turned red and she seemed a little embarrassed.

"Well, Mr. Yang's original words were: If you want to continue making 2D games, the character style can be bold and revealing, but please keep a proper balance."

After listening to this sentence.

The three of them looked at each other for a moment and came to a conclusion.

It seems that Mr. Yang is also a fellow traveler.
after that.

In the reception room, the discussion about Yang Xiao still did not stop.

However, Yang Xiao was no longer interested in saying anything more to them.

At the beginning, Yang Xiao was just like other time travelers, with a bad taste in his heart, like punching a small horse and kicking a big horse.

Taking this opportunity, I naturally planned to play the role of godfather for these people on their entrepreneurial journey.

Unfortunately, he found out that this idea was totally wrong.

My first impression when I saw these three people was that it was difficult to communicate with them!
Everyone has high aspirations and regards equity as more important than their life!

Ignorance is bliss. Yang Xiao has also witnessed the stubbornness of today's college student entrepreneurial teams!

If he didn't know that they could succeed, Yang Xiao really wanted to ask them.

The company has already failed so badly, why are they still holding on to a few shares?
Is it really based on self-confidence?

Forget it.

Yang Xiao is now very satisfied to get 30% of the shares in one go.

Moreover, the deal was successfully concluded because he had channels for products such as WIFI Master Key and Bilibili.

Yang Xiao didn’t dare to ask for more!

Whether the money has arrived and whether the other party is willing to give is one thing.

On the other hand, Yang Xiao was really worried.

It would be really funny if my excessive intervention ended up ruining both "Honkai Impact 3" and "Genshin Impact"!

This is also the reason why Yang Xiao has no intention of training these people.

In the eyes of others, he is just an outsider.

Even if I say some far-sighted words and want to give them some directional guidance on two-dimensional games, it is unrealistic.

Because they won't listen!

Also.

In its previous life, miHoYo only accepted one round of financing from beginning to end.

That was the one million yuan that Song Tao, CEO of Sky Network, paid for 15% of miHoYo's shares.

Yang Xiao didn't think much of it. He decided to wait until MiHoYo was in the most difficult, failed and lowest point before asking Cai Haoyu's team for a huge price.

Maybe you can get more equity that way.

We can also take this opportunity to take control of these three people.

But even if Yang Xiao was a reborn person, he could not accurately find the perfect time point.

The current situation is already very good.

Even though their own "hardness" made Yang Xiao very uncomfortable, he still chose to understand and support them.

After all, they are all a group of 2D otakus who shout slogans like "I want to change the world" and "Tech geeks save the world".

In other words, they are still a group of idealists.

But the same thing applies.

This world needs the persistence of such a group of idealists.

Of course, there is another reason why Yang Xiao is so nonchalant.

He has money again.

Some time ago.

He transferred 10% of his personal shares in Kuaiya to Zhao Wanlin.

The latter claimed that he was only holding shares on behalf of his friends in the Beijing circle.

So he was left with 75% of the shares.

After that, another round of financing was completed.

Before this round of financing, at the instruction of Yang Xiao, he personally took out 10% of the equity and carried out a weird equity swap with Shanda.

Then in this round of A financing, Kuaiya's overall valuation was 3600 million US dollars, and then 20% of its equity was sold to be divided among the capital parties.

Shanda Capital led the investment, invested US$360 million and took another 10%, IDG Capital took 5%, and Innovation Works took 5%.

This 20% stake was led by Shanda.

Today, Kuaiya’s equity structure is as follows:
Yang Xiao: 52%.

Zhao Wanlin: 16%.

Huang Zhengfei team: 4%
Shanda Capital: 18%
IDG Capital and Innovation Works, 5% each.

Yang Xiao sold a lot of equity in Kuaiya's Series A financing.

First, he transferred 10% from Zhao Wanlin and cashed out 2400 million yuan.

In addition, it exchanged equity with Shanda and obtained 30% of the equity of YouYaoQi Animation Factory.

Here, it's more about cooperation.

In terms of film and television adaptations of anime IP.

In fact, there is still a lot of room for improvement in the equity value of Kuaiya.

To be honest, at the moment, Yang Xiao is at a loss, and it even seems that he has no choice.

But it is not.

Yang Xiao's original intention of developing Kuaiya was to let it take advantage of "tool apps" such as WIFI Master Key.

His "darling" has always been the WIFI Master Key, which is worth dozens of times more than Kuaiya!
Kuai Ya was just a thing that Yang Xiao asked Huang Zhengfei and others to make!
Then, riding on the momentum of the former, it was inevitable that Kuaiya would become a big hit.

Yang Xiao's original intention was to treat him as a money jar!
When you need money, just use it for emergencies.

Now is the time to put it to use.

I just spent two million to acquire 30% of miHoYo’s equity.

Yang Xiao no longer dared to spend money lavishly.

There is also a "Time Cloud Music" waiting for it.

This is the real gold-eating beast!

He can only keep it for now, and Yang Xiao has no plans to spend money on it for the time being.

For a music platform, how can they afford to spend more than 20 million?

Even if all the fast teeth are sold, it is still risky!
More than 20 million is just a drop in the bucket.

The era of paid music membership has not yet arrived, and it is impossible to make a profit!
So, let's just hang on for now.

It doesn't matter whether there are users or not. The most important thing is to develop the mobile version first, make the app more beautiful, and improve the comment area.

A pure money-losing game!
In addition, there are other companies that need a lot of cash to support development and expansion.

For example - Wanhe Tianyi.

He started out in the media industry. Film, television and music are Yang Xiao’s focus and foundation!

He is building a complete audio-visual industry chain!
The original Time Culture Media was a cash cow.

However, he has already spent this year's dividends to buy most of the copyrights.

It is to promote the film and television adaptation of future works and provide Wanhe Tianyi with powerful copyright content growth.

Yang Xiao plans to give Wanhe Tianyi a push from behind and help it gain a firm foothold in the film and television industry.

Yes.

Just to gain a foothold!
What a humble reason!

Nowadays, excellent actors are too expensive and Yang Xiao cannot afford to sign them.

We can only find another way and start from the content side.

In addition, the major companies nowadays want to make money from film and television, but in fact they can't make much at all.

A movie with a box office of hundreds of millions is considered a top-notch movie!
For example, this year's dark horse "Love Is Not Blind" took in hundreds of millions at the box office, which completely shocked the industry.

But this is also a good opportunity.

This shows that the current market is still in a state of land grabbing!
He is qualified to enter!
Whoever owns the copyright and whoever has good works are the foundation for him to gain a firm foothold in the future!
Otherwise, any film and television media company will be vulnerable and will find it difficult to gain a foothold.

Copyright is money!
Whether you make money from operation or reselling it later, you can make money.

But now, buying copyright also costs money!
Yang Xiao had no choice but to stock up more while prices were low everywhere!
This is also the reason why his more than 20 million seems not enough.

There was a big cut on Kuai Ya's side, and Yang Xiao vomited a large amount of blood.

But no matter how much you cut, there is a limit.

He currently still needs to gain control of Kuaiya's controlling stake and cannot make any major moves for the time being.

Moreover, the continuous sale of equity makes investors panic and afraid, which is inappropriate!
Yang Xiao needs more cash!

So, which company is making the most money at the moment?

The answer is games.

to be frank.

Yang Xiao's original intention was to let miHoYo make other games, such as developing some "tower defense games" based on two-dimensional characters, which he estimated would also have a market for.

But no one can say for sure what has not been tested.

Their studio has no experience in this area.

Yang Xiao finally changed his mind and asked them to just focus on the second dimension.

But he has no intention of stopping and giving up the idea of ​​making money from the game company.

Since miHoYo isn't working, let's just skip it for now.

Go directly to find the most suitable game company for Yang Xiao at the moment.

Yes, he just got 2400 million, and before he could even warm up to it, he was planning to spend it again!
There was another move without stopping.

this weekend.

Cai Haoyu and other two people from miHoYo flew back to Shanghai in the afternoon after signing the specific contract.

Yang Xiao didn't even treat them to a meal to show his hospitality.

He didn't even go to school at night.

The next day, he skipped class.

Yang Xiao came to Tianhe District in Yangcheng.

This time, he was not alone. His assistant Zhao Qian accompanied him all the way.

This is an established gaming company.

The name is Yinhan Technology.

When Zhao Qian stepped into the door of this company, she felt a little disapproving and puzzled.

How did Mr. Yang learn about these companies?

It is located in Guangzhou, but both the location and office environment are far inferior to those of their company department in Shenzhen.

There’s no reception room!

The receptionist was a man, not a professional administrator, and he led them directly to a meeting room of moderate size.

I poured a glass of boiled water, but there was no tea leaves.

Yang Xiao didn't care and understood their difficulties.

Yinhan Technology was founded in 2001 and has just completed its tenth anniversary.

Over the past decade, they have been committed to the development of online games and web games.

However, it has always been in a lukewarm state.

Previously, it was only slightly famous in the industry thanks to a game called "Journey to the West Online".

But that's it.

The real turning point will be the end of next year.

They made a mobile game called "Time and Space Hunter"!

This was the money-making beast that crushed all other mobile games at the time!

The number of daily active users remained stable at over 150 million, with daily revenue of 5000 million, setting a record at the time!
As far as Yang Xiao knows, the "Time and Space Hunter" project has already been launched!

He didn't dare to delay because Tencent had already taken over the game and acquired its equity before it came out.

This time, Yang Xiao intends to intercept Tencent's trick.

Yang Xiao and Zhao Qian had been sitting in the conference room for less than two minutes when a man with small eyes, who looked a bit like Medicine Brother Liu Bo, walked in quickly.

Well, his name is Liu Yong, both of them have the surname Liu.

After Liu Yong came in, he looked at the two of them with a somewhat doubtful look, then looked at Yang Xiao uncertainly and asked:
"You are Mr. Yang?"

"It's me. Hello, Mr. Liu."

"I've heard a lot about this guy. I didn't expect that the boss of Qingsong Internet Technology, the most eye-catching company in Shenzhen's Internet circle, is actually so young? Mr. Yang is indeed a young and promising man!"

Liu Yong did not suspect anything because Zhao Qian had made an appointment in advance and the identities of both parties had already been verified.

Guangzhou and Shenzhen are adjacent to each other, so he naturally knows a lot of information.

Regarding Kuaiya's financing this time, Shanda Capital reaped the greatest benefits and acquired the largest number of shares.

I heard that some kind of secret agreement was reached with the real boss of Qingsong Internet Technology Company.

Liu Yong still had some gossip in his mind about this.

I didn't expect that the other party would come to my door so soon.

This made him even more puzzled.

You work in a technology company, and I work in the gaming industry. We are not the same kind of people.

So he became more curious.

There was originally a morning meeting on Monday, but I canceled it specifically just to come and see Yang Xiao’s true face and see what he was up to.

"Haha, it's just a small fight in Shencheng."

"I wonder what advice Mr. Yang has for you, coming all the way here?"

Yang Xiao smiled and said, "Haha, I don't deserve your advice, but I'm very interested in the gaming industry and would like to learn from Mr. Liu."

Liu Yong also smiled, waved his hand, and habitually made a joke:
"Oh, what's the point of talking about learning from the masters? Mr. Yang, you just got a lot of money, right? Why don't you invest in our Yinhan directly?"

"Oh? That's exactly what I was thinking."

"Ah? No. Mr. Yang, you are kidding, right?"

Liu Yong's heart skipped a beat. Can't you tell I'm joking?

Yang Xiao could naturally tell that this was just a compliment, but he was just trying to take advantage of the situation to make his intention clear.

"Mr. Liu, I'm serious. I plan to take a ride on your express train."
