Chapter 67

The next day, Sun Kai met Lin Junnan's family in the hotel restaurant. Lin Junnan asked Haotian to call Sun Kai "uncle", and Sun Kai gave the popular Lego toys specially prepared to the child. When Lin Junnan told him that he would bring Yiyi and Haotian to Hangzhou, he went home and discussed with Qianqian: he was the first time he saw Lin Junnan's child, and what gift should he give. Sissi said that it would be better to give a big toy, boys of one or two years old like to play.

After breakfast, Ji Zhongping, executive director and general manager of Golden Apple, brought two cars to the hotel. Sun Kai explained to Lin Junnan: "I heard you say that your sister-in-law wants to take Haotian to play and not go to the Golden Apple, so I asked Mr. Ji to arrange a car to follow my sister-in-law." ”

"Mr. Ji, you're welcome!" Lin Junnan said to Ji Zhongping, "My wife is from Hangzhou and is very familiar with this place. Just let them turn around on their own. ”

"My sister-in-law is from Hangzhou! That's great! However, it's much more convenient to bring your own car than to take a taxi! Mr. Lin, you're welcome! I've arranged everything!" Ji Zhongping said, beckoning a girl over, "Her name is Xiaoyu, it's our company, let her accompany her sister-in-law and little nephew." ”

Seeing Ji Zhongping so enthusiastic, Lin Junnan could only be a guest. He said to Yiyi: "Yiyi, you can take Haotian to play, and I'll call you after I finish talking." ”

Yiyi took care of Lin Junnan and said, "Drink less wine during dinner", and led Haotian to Xiaoyu's car. When the car started, Haotian waved his little hand to Lin Junnan and Qiao Xiangdong through the window, and called obediently: "Daddy bye-bye! Grandpa bye-bye......"

In front of Qiao Xiangdong, Sun Kai was cautious everywhere. This is not only because he knows the weight of this person in the investment world, but also because he is afraid of Qiao Xiangdong's extremely penetrating eyes. Sun Kai had never seen Qiao Xiangdong before, but he had heard about him from Lin Junnan, and he also knew that he had a decisive influence on Lin Junnan. This time, he also followed the Golden Apple to investigate, which made Sun Kai a little uneasy.

Golden Apple Technology Co., Ltd., which has been "packaged" by Yu Xiaojun, is located in a newly built office building in Binjiang District, Hangzhou, with a rented area of more than 1,000 square meters, and the project department, marketing department, finance department and other complete systems, and the lattice room is also full, and it seems that there are fifty or sixty employees, basically the post-80s and post-90s, who are busy in front of the computer. When Lin Junnan and Qiao Xiangdong followed Ji Zhongping to pass by, many employees took the initiative to get up and smile at them.

Lin Junnan thought: This is really rare in other companies, it seems that Golden Apple has worked hard in the cultivation of company culture.

Although Sun Kai followed Yu Xiaojun to the Golden Apple not long ago, it was still at the original address, and when he walked in today, he had already changed his appearance, and his heart was suddenly much more steady! He cautiously followed behind Ji Zhongping, pretending to be very familiar with the environment, and guided Lin Junnan and them.

The meeting room at Golden Apple is very spacious. Facing north is the whole floor to ceiling window, facing the Qiantang River, not far away is the Fuxing Bridge with dense traffic, and the view is very broad. Lin Junnan stood in front of the window and stopped for a moment, looking at the few small boats moving slowly on the river, and couldn't help but praise Ji Zhongping:

"Mr. Ji, you really know how to choose feng shui!"

"Where! Mr. Lin has won the award! The competition for IT talents in Hangzhou is fierce, and the company should provide a good working environment for everyone to start several projects!" Ji Zhongping said modestly.

"Mr. Ji, are you 'waiting for the price to sell'?" Qiao Xiangdong looked at Ji Zhongping with a smile.

"I'm smiling, I'm smiling!" Ji Zhongping waved his hand and said, "Qiao is always a big man in the investment world, our little golden apple, how dare we ask you for a price!"

After a few pleasantries, everyone sat across the conference table. Ji Zhongping asked the assistant to turn on the projector, and while playing the company's promotional video and the game project BP under development, he introduced Lin Junnan and Qiao Xiangdong to Lin Junnan and Qiao Xiangdong. In the face of Qiao Xiangdong's occasional interjection and questioning, Ji Zhongping was also able to answer freely.

Under Qiao Xiangdong's guidance, the conversation quickly turned to the company's valuation and transaction consideration.

"Mr. Ji, forgive me for being straightforward. Joe said straight to the point. "I think Golden Apple is still in its infancy, and has not yet formed a fixed business model and source of income, and the few small games you have developed can only earn some popularity with the help of social platforms, and it doesn't seem to have much impact. So, the valuation you proposed is indeed a bit too high!"

"Mr. Qiao, you are an expert!" Ji Zhongping smiled and complimented casually, and then talked with a gentle attitude. "Golden Apple is really just a start-up, less than two years old. However, the technical backbone of our team is from well-known large companies, and has made a name for itself in the industry by undertaking outsourcing business and creating our own mini-game products, and has also established extensive resources. Personally, I think that as a good game company, you must first have a good project, and secondly, you must have market resources. Although Golden Apple cannot be said to fully meet these two points, it basically meets the conditions. We have already stockpiled several good IPs in the early stage, which are being developed as planned, and one will be launched next year at the latest. To tell you the truth, there are several operators who have come to negotiate cooperation with us, and even they have the intention of injecting capital into Golden Apple. Frankly speaking, Golden Apple is not short of money now, and we can sit together today because I am very optimistic about your 'Ningxing shares' listed company platform. If we can cooperate, Golden Apple can gain greater market space with the help of the brand of the listed company, and 'Ningxing Shares' can also obtain greater investment income through Golden Apple. It's a win-win! Joe always thinks that Golden Apples are not forming a stable source of income at the moment, so they are overvalued, and I have a different opinion on this. The valuation of listed companies is based on expectations, and this is especially true for unlisted creative companies. Isn't the China Securities Regulatory Commission studying the establishment of the 'Science and Technology Innovation Board'? The conditions for the IPO of the 'Science and Technology Innovation Board' have been appropriately relaxed on the requirements for a company's pre-listing business performance! I sometimes even think that if the 'Science and Technology Innovation Board' is formally established, Golden Apple may not be able to directly apply for an IPO! Mr. Qiao, Mr. Lin, with all due respect, it is like an axe in the class, please don't laugh! In short, you can come to Golden Apple today, it is our fate! Even if we do not reach a cooperation agreement in the end, we can get to know you. It's an honor to be friends with you!"

Lin Junnan exchanged glances with Qiao Xiangdong, and said unhurriedly: "Mr. Ji, please believe in our sincerity!" 'Ningxing Shares' is a listed company, and all business activities should be rigorous and transparent. We are interested in Golden Apple, and I personally understand what Mr. Ji has said about the company's valuation. However, we need to submit a merger and acquisition plan with fair value to all shareholders. Since Golden Apple has not yet made an actual profit, and it is difficult for us to find a company that can be benchmarked, then under this premise, we may need to set some gambling conditions. I wonder what Mr. Ji's intentions are about this?"

"It's okay, I'm willing to accept the bet!" Ji Zhong said calmly. "I can make a performance commitment to 'Ningxing shares', if it can't be fulfilled, then it will be fulfilled according to the VAM requirements agreed in the contract!"

"Please tell us about the revenue expectation of your Golden Apple in the next three years. ”

"These are all in BP. Ji Zhongping asked the assistant to re-display the chart of the company's financial expectations for the game project on the projection. "At the moment, we have several games in development at the same time, and if it goes well, we will launch them from the end of this year to the second half of tomorrow. We didn't think about revenue this year, but we certainly did. It is expected that Golden Apple will have a minimum revenue share of 150 million next year, 250 million in the year after next, and 4 to 500 million or more in the future. Of course, we are still relatively conservative. There are also game companies under 'Ningxing shares', and I believe you also know the nature of this industry: either you lose money, or you lie down to make money! In the end, it depends on the content, quality and charging method of the game, and of course, it also depends on the popularity of the market and the stickiness of players. There are many factors that influence. Although I don't dare to pack these games of Golden Apple to be a hit, as long as one or two of them are successful, it is not impossible to achieve the expected goal. ”

"What do you think if we use the expected revenue growth target you set yourself as a condition for betting?" Qiao Xiangdong asked, his tone very gentle.

Ji Zhongping seemed a little helpless, he shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands: "Mr. Qiao, although our expectations are very conservative, you can't help but leave me some space, right?"

"If the Golden Apple wants to get a high valuation, it must be exchanged for your confidence and hard work!" Qiao Xiangdong said with a smile.

Ji Zhongping looked at his watch and said, "That's it, it's almost noon, let's go eat first." Please allow me to discuss this with the team and other stakeholders. Let's go to the West Lake for dinner, I've already booked the restaurant. Sister-in-law and children, I will let Xiaoyu take them directly over. ”

After the group went downstairs, Qiao Xiangdong suddenly met an acquaintance, like the property here, so he went over to chat with him. When Ji Zhongping saw it, an imperceptible expression flashed across his face.

When getting into the car, Ji Zhongping asked casually: "Mr. Qiao just met an acquaintance?"

"Ah, I met a former neighbor who is now in charge of the property here. We haven't seen each other in years. Mr. Ji also knows him?"

"I don't know. Our company has only been here for a long time, and even if we have to deal with the property, we have to contact the company's administrative staff. ”

"I said it......" Joe muttered to the east, not saying anything more.
