Chapter 374: Intention
Zheng Peng is not the first time to come, he found a guest room by himself, then took a shower and went to sleep, not treating himself as an outsider at all, and did not get up until An Ran and the others came back from work.
After dinner in the evening, An Ran and the others, who had been busy all day, finally had time to accompany the children, and Zheng Yan finally figured out the reason why Zheng Peng came back this time. If you want to talk about the purpose of Zheng Peng's return this time, you have to start from studying abroad last year.
When Zheng Peng first arrived in the United States, due to the influence of his classmates, he was also ready to go on a work-study program. Really speaking, Zheng Peng is not short of money, he just thinks it is interesting, and he just doesn't want to be a maverick.
Due to the influence of Zheng Yan, Zheng Peng was particularly interested in the computer industry, and studied electronic engineering in college, so he had a goal in terms of part-time options. Later, he really found a company, and it was a game development company founded by alumni - Silicon and Neural Bonds.
At the beginning, Zheng Peng just thought it was fun and could learn something, but after more than half a year, he found that he really liked the industry, and at the same time liked the current company.
The company has three founders, and their purpose is also very clear, which is to make games that they love and at the same time make more players popular. However, the development of a game often takes a year or even longer, and the cycle of investment and return is relatively long.
The three founders of the company are not rich second generation, let alone rich generation, so they are slowly making ends meet, and now they rely on overdraft credit cards to maintain the normal operation of the company, just to stick to their dream: to make great games.
"Why, what do you mean, you want to invest in this company?"
Now Zheng Peng is still young, if he really has the idea of investing in entrepreneurship, Zheng Yan is also happy to support it. In Zheng Yan's view, this idea alone is rare, and as for the success or failure of the investment, these are not important. On the one hand, he is still young, he has opportunities, and on the other hand, he has his own backing, which also allows him to make mistakes.
"I don't have the money to invest, I want you to invest. Actually, I also looked for the third brother, but the third brother was not interested, so let me come to you. ”
Liu Weiwei spends most of his time in the United States, and often goes in and out of Hollywood, not far from Zheng Peng's school, and the two have many opportunities to meet. It's just that Liu Wei's mind is on his own one-third of an acre, and he has nothing else to do.
Hearing Zheng Peng's answer, Zheng Yan hesitated. Since Zheng Yan sold the shares of a Japanese game company, he has lost his mind about interfering in the game industry, at least he has no interest in the current game market.
As it stands, it doesn't take a lot of money for a game company to develop a product, but once it succeeds, the return on life is quite substantial. Therefore, it is a good direction for many entrepreneurs, but in Zheng Yan's opinion, it is a bit of a small fight.
In addition, Zheng Yan knows more about Japanese game companies, and doesn't know anything about the American game market, as for the company that Zheng Peng said, he is not interested in hearing the name, but Zheng Yan doesn't want to dampen Zheng Peng's enthusiasm.
"Since you want me to invest, there has to be a reason, right? For example, your next development plan, development goals, or some kind of work. If there is nothing, I advise you to dismiss this thought. ”
If Zheng Peng has an idea, or that the company's team has potential, Zheng Yan doesn't mind giving it a try, if Zheng Peng just has a passion, Zheng Yan will not condone it.
"Of course, you wait. ”
Before coming back, Zheng Peng had already made preparations and ran back to the room to bring a stack of materials.
These two are the materials of the two games that the company has already launched, including the development concept, process and sales of the games after the launch, and these are the materials of the games under development and the games to be developed. ”
Before going to the United States, Zheng Peng might have thought that he could attract investment by virtue of family affection, but after living in the United States for more than half a year, he had changed his mind and regarded this conversation as a negotiation between two companies.
After Zheng Yan got the information, he already had a plan to invest, if nothing else, just Zheng Peng's attitude. However, Zheng Yan did not blindly agree, and looked at the information carefully.
The first game is called "RPM Racing", which is a game developed for Nintendo of Japan, and the information on sales and other information is not very comprehensive, but because it is a direct buyout, it is not a loss.
The second game, The Lost Vikings, is still based on Nintendo's game platform, and it is also released under the Nintendo name, but it has improved greatly in terms of profitability.
For a company that has not been established for a long time, this kind of achievement is quite good, but for Zheng Yan, it is really not enough. Zheng Yan's goal is computer games, not this kind of game program that relies on game consoles.
In fact, when he saw this, Zheng Yan was no longer interested in other materials, but he couldn't bear to hit Zheng Peng, so he patiently picked up another piece of information, and it was this information that changed Zheng Yan's mind.
"You developed this game?"
It is rare for Zheng Yan to be interested, Zheng Peng is very excited, "Yes, but the final test and improvement are still underway, and I believe it will not be long before it will be listed." ”
After getting Zheng Peng's affirmative answer, Zheng Yan felt like a dog. "Warcraft" is obviously a product of Blizzard, which is absolutely not wrong, but what the hell is Silicon and Neural Bonds?
Blizzard Entertainment is definitely one of the most famous game production and publishing companies in the world, and its Warcraft, StarCraft, Diablo series, Overwatch, Hearthstone, and World of Warcraft are all masterpieces.
Warcraft and StarCraft are some of the most well-known esports competitions in the computer game world. And World of Warcraft, which has always been the most successful online game, has generated more than a billion dollars in profits every year.
It's just that Zheng Yan doesn't know that the current Silicon and Neural Bond Company is also the future Blizzard Company, but it has not had time to change its name. And the three founders of the company have begun to negotiate with other companies in order to find a way to survive the company.
Zheng Peng couldn't help but be a little anxious when he saw that there was no follow-up, "Brother, is it okay?" Now there is a software company that has made a condition to acquire the company, and this time I have this opportunity because I took the initiative to ask Ying, if you are not interested, the company will be finished. ”
