440. The new team started > Brother Li increased his shareholdings
Zhou Fangyuan suddenly thought of the TV series plan, officially a TV series called "Lang Cai Girl" that he watched in his last life, this TV series starring Lu Yi and Xingru back then, once set a rating second only to "News Network", which can be described as a very good TV series.
When Zhou Fangyuan was watching a TV series, he fell in love with Xingru, who played the heroine, but unfortunately later because of various things, he gradually became a passerby. Of course, everything on the Internet cannot be trusted, so he is just watching the various developments from the perspective of a bystander. Now Xingru, like the previous life, has become very famous because of that Qing Palace drama, in fact, it is definitely the best choice to find her to play this role. However, since Zhou Fangyuan promised to provide Xu Ruxuan with various resources, then he had to do what he said, at least give Xu Ruxuan a chance to prove herself.
As for the actor, Zhou Fangyuan has no idea of changing it at will, so let Lu Yi play it. After all, Lu Yi's current fame is not small, in today's era, it can definitely be regarded as a contemporary little fresh meat, deeply loved by aunts and mothers-in-law, and little girls also like him, and this person's acting skills have basically been online, and his performance is stable. The most important thing is that he is the original starring role of this TV series, and in his last life, he was able to interpret this role so perfectly, there is no reason why he can't do it in this life.
The hero and heroine were settled in such an instant, and Zhou Fangyuan immediately made a phone call to Sun Jing's mobile phone and told the other party his thoughts.
Sun Jing was stunned on the other side of the phone for a long time, and finally chuckled helplessly, "My big boss, can you not think about one out of the other? Our company has just been established, and all kinds of staffing are not comprehensive enough, and now it is not easy to open a crew, you let me open another one? I know that your old man is rich, but can you consider my feelings?"
Sun Jing quipped on the phone.
"Raise wages!"
Zhou Fangyuan said categorically.
"It's not about money, I'm already busy......"
"Year-end bonus of one million!"
"When will filming start?"
Sure enough, money is everything, Zhou Fangyuan chose to bleed heavily, and Sun Jing was not ambiguous, and immediately agreed. In the final analysis, there are not enough people to recruit, as long as you wave the banknotes, you are afraid that you will not be able to dig up people? Not to mention anything else, the bonus of one million at the end of that year alone is enough to make Sun Jing more busy.
"As soon as possible, Xu Ruxuan's side can't be left alone, this time the heroine is sure to be Xu Ruxuan, if the male protagonist is the protagonist, I am ready to let Lu Yi play ......"
"Wait, wait, my big boss, what kind of TV series are you going to make? Having said all that, I don't know what theme you want to shoot this time. ”
Sun Jing hurriedly said.
"I'm going to shoot a modern urban TV series this time, how about it, what do you think of Xu Ruxuan and Lu Yi?"
Zhou Fangyuan asked.
Xu Ruxuan looks sweet, and she is indeed more suitable for this kind of urban drama. And Lu Yi is also very handsome, his temperament is very gentle and elegant, and he is more suitable, but the boss, of course Xu Ruxuan is fine, but Lu Yi's side, I heard that he recently took on a new drama, I'm not sure if he has time to ......"
"Then contact first, it's really not good to think about others, I'll prepare the synopsis of the story in the next two days, and then bring it to you, you can take a look, if you think it's appropriate, find someone to fill in the story, and you are responsible for revising the inappropriate places." ”
Zhou Fangyuan said concisely.
"Mr. Zhou, are you coming back from Shizhuang City?"
Sun Jing's focus is obviously different from Zhou Fangyuan's, her voice on the phone is full of surprise, it seems that every second of Zhou Fangyuan's absence in the past two days has been torment for her.
Zhou Fangyuan covered his forehead helplessly, this Sun Jing behaved more clingy than a little girl, and her clinginess is not sticky in the general sense, she belongs to the kind of person It doesn't matter how long you leave, but as long as you are ready to come back, she will be very happy no matter when. Of course, for men, if there is a woman who cares so much about herself, she will be very happy to be anyone.
"Well, today's train, it is estimated that you will be able to go back in the afternoon, in short, that's it, you contact Lu Yi first, see his current schedule, it is best to talk about it, you can decide the specific salary, I don't care about this matter." Everything else you know is up to you. ”
"Okay, I understand. ”
Sun Jing immediately regained her composure and responded with a smile.
Hanging up the phone, Zhou Fangyuan thought about it, made sure that there was nothing to do, and prepared to take Lin Yueya to the train station. Lin Yueya listened to Zhou Fangyuan's phone call all the time, did not disturb him, and was reluctant to disturb him, Zhou Fangyuan's performance at this moment was simply synonymous with perfection in Lin Yueya's mind. She had already longed for him, but now it has directly become a worship.
When other peers are still worrying about learning, games, and all kinds of things, Zhou Fangyuan shows maturity and sophistication far beyond his peers. Lin Yueya already has some father-loving plots, after all, she has not been able to get father's love and mother's love since she was a child, so she has a good impression of mature people, although Zhou Fangyuan is very young, his performance is adult-level, so Lin Yueya was attracted to Zhou Fangyuan at the beginning, and then couldn't extricate herself, and now she is even more deeply trapped in it, and she doesn't even want to get out of it at all.
Looking at the time of the train ticket, Zhou Fangyuan took Lin Yueya and prepared to go to the train station, but at this moment, his mobile phone suddenly rang.
At a glance, it was Brother Xiao Li who called.
Zhou Fangyuan picked up the phone, "Brother Li, what's wrong?"
Zhou Fangyuan was a little puzzled in his heart, it stands to reason that it is impossible to solve the matter of the recruitment website so quickly, so Brother Li called this ......
"Xiaoyuan, the game company bought it. ”
Brother Li said on the phone.
Zhou Fangyuan was slightly stunned, and reacted in the next second, "Really?"
He asked, a little excited.
Brother Xiao Li has already dealt with this matter, and after such a long time, he is about to forget about it, after all, with Brother Li's financial resources and connections, if even he can't handle this matter for a long time, it can only show that the other party's attitude of not wanting to sell the company is very firm, or that the team is unwilling to come to the mainland company, these are all possible.
Sometimes people are so strange that they can do anything for money, but sometimes money can't impress some people at all.
So he actually gave up more or less in his heart, he felt that Brother Xiao Li couldn't buy a team, and it was in vain for him to go over in person.
But now that Brother Xiao Li suddenly said this, Zhou Fangyuan was stunned at the time, and immediately became a little excited.
"Is this true?"
He asked again.
To be honest, Zhou Fangyuan was really worried that Brother Xiao Li was joking with him.
Yuquan International has a poor reputation in China, but in fact this is a very awesome company, known as "China's Blizzard", this company is 89 years old, the company since its establishment, the "Oriental theme, Hollywood expression" to establish the quality of game products, after several efforts, "Yuquan" has become synonymous with "Hollywood-style Oriental games".
In 95, his new work "Dunhuang Legend" was launched, and once it was listed, it won the Baodaodu Outstanding Information Innovation Application Award. Since then, the company's excellent works have continued to appear - especially with the many cooperation with famous masters, this company has successively launched works such as "Smiling Proud Jianghu", "Condor Heroes", "Fengyun 27 Weapons", "Xiao Li Flying Knife" and other works, and has repeatedly created sales miracles!
It wasn't until 02 that "Meteor Butterfly Sword" was launched, which was the world's first 3D LAN game, and once launched, it won four awards including the 2003 Game Star "Best Action Game Award" in one fell swoop, creating a new milestone in the company's game development career.
Later, for example, in 04 years, the company cooperated with the well-known international game company SEGA SAMMY to develop the action game masterpiece "Iron Phoenix", which not only won the Best of E3 2004 "Best Innovative Game" award in the United States, and the "International Digital Content Prototype Award" of the Industrial Bureau, but also won the "Digital Content Product Award" and other awards again in 05, and completed the research and development of "XBOX Live massively multiplayer online game development platform" in the same year.
In 06, he cooperated with the well-known company Namco to develop a PC version of the 3D ARPG, action role-playing game "Mage Knight Apocalypse", which is a 3D ARPG game with a high degree of completion, which is comparable to the high image quality and gorgeous and spectacular game scenes of the next-generation game console, showing Yuquan's strong game development technical capabilities.
However, after 06 years, the company suffered a Waterloo, until the end of the reputation is not obvious, it can be said that it is really regrettable. Especially the "Meteor Butterfly Sword" series, after several version updates, there has been no follow-up action. Its quality, gameplay, balance, and graphics can be said to be the top in this era, and if this IP can be developed well, it may not be a major milestone in the history of games in the future. Unfortunately, because of the company's operational problems, in the end this can only become an illusion.
Zhou Fangyuan wants to buy this company, in the final analysis, he mainly wants to buy the company's R&D team, which is the most important thing.
If he can buy the team, he can discuss the game copyright with those authors, and if he can't do it, Brother Li can come forward, it's not a problem. The main thing is the game team, this team is too experienced, if he gives up in vain, he can't accept it himself.
Fortunately, Brother Xiao Li has now brought back the good news, which really makes Zhou Fangyuan excited.
"Of course it's true, Xiaoyuan, look at you, can I still lie to you? By the way, I have already arranged a ticket for them, it is from Philadelphia, you remember to pick up the airport the day after tomorrow, you big boss has nothing to do all day long, your own employees greet yourself, I don't care." ”
Brother Xiao Li said with a smile, and then told him the flight number and the specific landing time of the flight.
"Brother Li, how much did it cost to buy the team, I'll call you. ”
"Hey, don't be polite to me with this little money, just think I'm doing you a favor, don't be polite to my brother, but Xiaoyuan, my brother knows a little about this company, and it's the same as you said, this company is very amazing, you see, why don't we get a new game company? Brother also joined a share to share some financial pressure for you. ”
Brother Xiao Li said with a smile.
Zhou Fangyuan laughed silently, he understood what Brother Li meant.
Quite simply, he understands the value of this team, but he doesn't want to directly manage the game company for two reasons, one may be that he feels that Zhou Fangyuan is more professional in this aspect, and the second reason may be that he does not have time to manage a brand new company. But whatever the reason, he is still optimistic about the team and wants to continue to have a place in the gaming field.
The money to buy the company is not destined to be cheap, which Zhou Fangyuan can understand. But Brother Xiao Li opened his mouth and didn't talk about money, obviously with the idea of using this money to buy shares.
Let him take a stake?
To be honest, the Li family is very powerful, not only rich, the Li family has been rooted on Hong Kong Island for many years, and the relationship in all aspects can be said to be as complex as a spider's web. As long as it's a serious matter, there is basically nothing that the Li family can't do. And what kind of person to find and what kind of relationship to trust, the Li family is also invincible.
In China, the Li family also has a very strong energy and deep connections, if you can have a good relationship with the Li family, it will be worth paying a big price. But then again, Brother Li can't represent the Li family, he is just the youngest son of the richest man Li, and the richest man Li has other children, and the Li family is not only one richest man Li.
What's more, if you can only have a good relationship with Brother Xiao Li in this way, and then use the relationship of the Li family, then forget it, if you pay this price, but Brother Xiao Li refuses to let him borrow his relationship at will, or don't stand with him at the most critical moment, then what's the matter?
But think about it carefully, Brother Xiao Li should not be so stingy, not to mention, the relationship between people is out, only by getting along, can the relationship continue to get close, if you don't get along, why should people get close to him? And a game team, let alone cooperating with Brother Xiao Li, is to completely give this team to Brother Xiao Li, or say that he gave advice to Brother Xiao Li in vain, and in the end it will not let him lose much.
At most, I could have earned 100 yuan, but now I have earned dozens of yuan, and this kind of loss is completely acceptable.
Thinking of this, Zhou Fangyuan grinned, "Brother Li, it turns out that you ambushed your brother here, you want to build a game company with me, this is not impossible." But Brother Li, I'll tell you the truth, let me build a company, not to mention whether I have the time and energy to do so, just say that the waste of resources is absolutely undesirable. If you really want us to deepen cooperation, it's not impossible, I have an idea here, you don't think it's okay.
What about the team, directly join the distant game, the money you buy the team, can be counted as a share of the distant game, you can put forward your ideas, I will give you an offer accordingly, of course, you must also invest a sum of money, just a team, compared to today's distant game, really can't change much shares. ”
This is the only cooperation model that Zhou Fangyuan can accept, he can give Brother Li more shares of Yuanfang Games, but he will definitely not get another game company out. Just kidding, did he not do anything? The more and more companies opened, he still wanted to integrate the companies under his umbrella, and if he continued to increase, he himself would not be able to stand it in the first place.
But Brother Xiao Li wants to add shares, then it is not the previous price, and now the profitability of distant games is even above Blizzard, at least Blizzard cannot sell tens of millions of copies of a game, although there is a huge gap between the games of the two companies in terms of unit price, but in any case, the sales volume of the game itself is still quite terrifying, and under such sales, the company's valuation is naturally rising.
And the third brother told him a few days ago that an investment company found the third brother and wanted to invest in distant games, and the current valuation given is 50 million US dollars, and the shares in Zhou Fangyuan's hands are worth about 42 million US dollars, US dollars!
That's a pretty good valuation, and it's unprecedented for a brand new gaming company. But Zhou Fangyuan didn't agree, why? Because he knew how terrifying the future output value of Yuanfang Games would be, and the valuation of $50 million would not make him feel relieved.
Now he took the initiative to invite Brother Xiao Li to join the shares, on the one hand, he really took a fancy to the political wealth and network of the Li family, on the other hand, in fact, his cooperation with Brother Xiao Li is still good, and he himself hopes to have more cooperation and contact with Brother Xiao Li.
"It's not impossible, Xiaoyuan, you tell me what you think first, and I'll listen to your opinion. ”
"One of my pieces is very simple, Brother Li, someone approached me before, willing to spend $5 million to buy ten percent of the shares of the distant game, but I refused, too little, the potential of the distant game is not such a little money can be measured, I currently give the psychological price of the distant game, is 100 million US dollars, if you want to buy shares, I can give you up to ten percent of the shares, 10 million US dollars, if you can accept it, then remove the purchase of the team, Brother Li, you remove the rest of the money, the shares are yours. If you can't accept it, then I'm sorry, I can only make up for you with the money you spent. ”
The brother settles the accounts, and at this point, Zhou Fangyuan believes that Brother Xiao Li will not be dissatisfied because of his attitude.
In the final analysis, everyone is a businessman, and since we are doing business, we should measure it from the perspective of business.
Zhou Fangyuan is indeed dissatisfied with the valuation given by the investment company, and he is not even satisfied with the valuation of 100 million US dollars now, of course, in terms of the current situation of Yuanfang Games, such a valuation is completely worthwhile, even super value, but it is precisely because he has more pursuits and expectations for the company, so he can't accept such a valuation, this is Brother Xiao Li, if someone else, this price has to be doubled again.
On the other side of the phone, Brother Xiao Li was silent, and only after a moment did he sigh slightly.
"Ten million US dollars, Xiaoyuan, it's not that my brother can't give out this money, but this price, isn't it a little too high?"
"Brother Li, this price is not expensive, the profitability of "Plant" alone is obvious to all, as long as we launch the follow-up version in a timely manner, even if the profitability of the game will continue to decline, it is still considerable.
And "Plant" can only be regarded as a thing of the past, now the company's new game has begun to test, and it will be launched soon, you have seen the game, to be honest, you should be sure of the quality of the game, this game should not be too popular in the European and American markets, but in the domestic market, it must be able to catch fire and survive for many years. With these two games, the company's position as the strongest game company in China can be stabilized. This alone, the price of 110 million US dollars is worth it, Brother Li, to put it mildly, this price is now, that is, you, if it is someone else, or postpone it for a period of time in the future, and wait for the new boyfriend to wash the line, the price may not be like this.
Brother Li, brother is not a pit for you, this price is also carefully considered by me, can you agree to it, you can think about it. Again, I welcome you to increase your shareholding, and I can keep it for you for three months. Three months later, the new game is on the market, and the price is not easy to say. Of course, it's also a gamble for you. If the bet is successful, your future gains will be even greater. If the bet fails, then my game company is completely finished, and then nothing will be said at that time. When you think about it, you can tell me ......"
As he spoke, Zhou Fangyuan was about to hang up the phone.
"Don't think about it. ”
However, Brother Xiao Li suddenly spoke.
Although he interrupted Zhou Fangyuan's words very rudely, his attitude was already very clear.
"Ten million is ten million, like you said, this investment is the most ordinary investment, if it were you, it would really reassure me. In that case, 10 million is worth it, when are we going to trade?"
"Haha, Brother Li, Brother Li, you are really giving your brother face. Okay, since you give face like this, I can't drop the shelf, you set the trading time, I can do it at any time. ”
Zhou Fangyuan also said with a smile.
A transaction of tens of millions of dollars worth tens of millions of soft girl coins was settled in the conversation and laughter of the two.
In fact, this transaction can be said to have been expected from the beginning, as he has been in contact with Zhou Fangyuan for more and more time, Brother Xiao Li will inevitably look more and more at Zhou Fangyuan's value. This is the power of the prophet, to be able to predict even a day in advance is quite terrifying, if you can predict a day in advance, even buying a lottery ticket can make a fortune, let alone directly carry out this level of business activities.
This is simply the biggest cheat in life, and Zhou Fangyuan directly bought the source code of the cheat, he didn't dare to say that he was invincible in what he did, but in the industry he was sure of, his achievements could definitely be the best in the world. And as time goes on, this achievement will get higher and higher.
There is no reason why Brother Xiao Li can't see this, so sooner or later he will take the initiative to ask to continue to deepen the relationship with Zhou Fangyuan, and if he wants to achieve this, it can only increase the exchanges between the two parties, and investment and cross-shareholding are the simplest and most direct ways.
"No, if it's convenient for you, then I'll go find you. ”
"I'm always handy...... Brother Li, I'll be waiting for you in the capital. ”
Zhou Fangyuan said with a smile, and then hung up the phone.
