Next chapter
The Internet has a long history of bragging, and there are two aspects that everyone likes to brag about the most, the first is the company's flow, and the second is the company's valuation and financing.
If an Internet company publishes news on online media and venture capital platforms, claiming that it has raised tens of millions of dollars and is valued at hundreds of millions, then both amounts have to be discounted by two or even one.
Li Mu is different from these people's routines, he doesn't need to cheat in the market to attract attention, and he doesn't need to rely on cheating to increase the company's valuation, so he didn't announce the B round of financing at all, and even Xu Jiaming's Mingcheng Capital didn't release any news to the outside world, and people in the industry didn't know that the two companies had completed tens of millions of financing in private.
For Baidu Mr. Li, it is quite a pity to miss Makino Technology, and now seeing that Makino Technology has made Happy Farm the most popular game in the country, the envy and jealousy in his heart can hardly be described in words, because of his own judgment error, Baidu withdrew from Makino Technology in a hurry, so that he could not raise his head in front of the capital behind him.
Tan Yaocheng's mentality is slightly better, he is not the CEO of Baidu, so he does not have to bear the huge mistake of Baidu's withdrawal from Makino Technology, seeing that Makino Technology will soon be able to achieve large-scale income generation through GuΓ² Happy Farm, he comforted Mr. Li and said: "Actually, Li Mu, this kid is quite unique in doing things, if we don't quit Makino Technology, he may not directly put Happy Farm under the name of Makino Technology, you see that he just established Storm Entertainment, Makino Technology only accounts for 20% If he took out Happy Farm to set up a new company and used Makino Technology to invest 20% of the shares, he could justifiably introduce the users of Makino Technology, but we only had 10% of the shares of Makino Technology at that time, which could only account for 2% of the new company, which was of little significance. β
Mr. Li nodded: "That's right, Li Mu, this kid is shrewd, he didn't get us away, he couldn't take Happy Farm into Muye Technology." β
Saying that, Mr. Li asked him curiously: "Alipay, how much shares does Li Mu have?"
"100 percent. Tan Yaocheng said: "At that time, this company provided payment channels for 3321, and no one thought that it would be integrated with Makino Technology now." β
Mr. Li said: "I really convinced this kid, where did he learn these methods, you see how many shells he has played now? Muye Technology, Easy Listening Technology, Makino Image, Storm Entertainment, Alipay, the capital composition of several companies' shells is different, and the fields covered are also different, and the most important thing is that they can also achieve complementarity in resources.
Tan Yaocheng shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "Anyway, we can play." β
Mr. Li sighed: "Our business is still too simple, otherwise, I also want to get a business and put it into a shell company, so that we can get rid of the shackles of capital on us." β
β¦β¦
In the afternoon of the same day, Lin Qingya, who had arrived in Seoul, the capital of South Korea (Seoul had not yet been renamed Seoul at this time), arrived at the headquarters of the South Korean Netzen company with the newly established BD department, and met with Kim Youquan, the vice president of Netzen, in the conference room of Netzen.
Jin Youquan attaches great importance to this business negotiation with Huaxia Company, because he has seen that the "Legend" developed by the competitor ATOZ has achieved an amazing good result in Huaxia, and the current popularity of "Legend" in Huaxia has greatly exceeded the estimates of the development company and the agency operating company. Much better, if this game is put into operation in China, it will definitely be able to surpass "Legend".
But the biggest problem is that no company from Huaxia has ever expressed interest in "Miracle MU".
Shanda Network is now concentrating on the operation of "Legend", and it is impossible to be distracted from the operation of the second game, and NetEase is also busy developing its own game, the Japanese cartoon online game "Magic Baby" represented by Netstar It's just started internal testing,In addition,In addition,There doesn't seem to be a game operation company in China that can be named,You must know that now the domestic game operation,The most test of promotion ability,If the promotion ability is not in place,A good online game can have twenty or thirty thousand players It has already burned high incense,But if the promotion ability is strong enough,Then even if it is a garbage online game,It can reach the astonishing magnitude of hundreds of thousands of users or even millions of users,In the eyes of Jin Youquan,"Legend" is such a garbage online gameγ
With rough graphics, a simple world structure, simple character types and an upgrade system, the game "Legend" is a third-rate outdated game in the eyes of South Korea's top game engineers, but what Kim Woo-kwon and many top game engineers have not figured out is why "Legend" can be so popular in China.
In the end, they gave the credit to Shanda, believing that a good operator can play an infinite role.
Originally, Jin Youquan had also screened companies suitable for operating "Miracle Mu" among Huaxia's Internet companies, but unfortunately, he screened these companies privately and did not find who was more suitable for operating the game "Miracle Mu".
Teng Xun once entered Jin Youquan's field of vision, in his opinion, Teng Xun has a fairly large user base, if you convert user resources to make games, it should be promising, but, Teng Xun does not have any experience and action in making games now, and it seems to be almost insulated from online games at present, even if Jin Youquan thinks they are suitable, it is meaningless, because the other party has not yet prepared for this.
Baidu was also the object of Jin Youquan's hope to cooperate, but similar to Teng Xun, Baidu did not express any intention to make a game.
After a few rounds of understanding, Kim Youquan even found that it was difficult for them to find a suitable operator in Huaxia to carry forward the game "Miracle Mu".
Makino Technology's Tieba is indeed very popular, but he doesn't know Chinese, he only knows that Tieba is a Chinese community, and he doesn't even know what kind of community it is, so he almost didn't know how carefully he passed it in his heart, so that he didn't even know that Makino Technology had launched a new product, Happy Farm.
This time, Lin Qingya came to talk to Netzen about the agency of "Miracle Mu" as a storm entertainment company, Jin Youquan knew almost nothing about this "Storm Entertainment", so he was not very interested, but after all, it was the first Huaxia Internet company to take the initiative to talk to Netzen about the agency of "Miracle Mu", if Netzen's attitude was not good, I was afraid that it would cause a bad impact in Huaxia, so Jin Youquan had to go through the motions.
When Kim Youquan and Lin Qingya sat face to face, he still wondered in his heart, why would this company called "Storm Entertainment" send such a young woman to negotiate with him, she looked like she was only twenty-three or four-four years old, or twenty-five or sixteen years old? Does she understand the Internet? Does she understand games? Does she have enough power to make decisions at this table?
Forty-year-old Kim Youquan, in his first impression of meeting Lin Qingya, had a little contempt for Lin Qingya.
Out of business courtesy, Jin Youquan did not show this contempt, and after shaking hands with Lin Qingya and introducing each other, he threw the first question to Lin Qingya: "Hello Miss Lin, I heard that your company wants to represent our "Miracle Mu" in Huaxia, can you give us a general introduction to the basic situation of your company?"
The translator interpreted the other party's question into Chinese, Lin Qingya nodded after listening, and said with a slight smile: "Our company was just established in Yanjing this month, the registered capital of the company is two million, and the business scope is software development, operation and related peripheral production and sales in the field of Internet culture and entertainment. β
As soon as Jin Youquan heard that it was a newly established company, he almost wanted to get up and leave, he himself despised Huaxia's Internet companies and game companies, thinking that they were lagging behind Korean companies in terms of technology and thinking, not to mention that Netzen was one of the top game development companies in South Korea, even if it was a well-known company in China, he didn't have a few eyes on it, let alone a newly registered company.
Jin Youquan's expression was a little ugly, almost at this moment, he completely vetoed the idea of Storm Entertainment's agent "Miracle Mu" in his heart, and the previous professional smile also dissipated, looking at Lin Qingya and said: "We prefer to cooperate with companies that have a sufficient user base and strong online and offline promotion capabilities, your company has just been established, I think it is difficult for you to operate "Miracle Mu". β
Lin Qingya smiled indifferently and said, "Mr. Jin, the situation of our company has not been introduced to you in more detail, the second largest shareholder of our company is Huaxia's Muye Technology. β
Jin Youquan was stunned and asked, "How much does Makino Technology have in your company?"
β20%γ β
Jin Youquan's expression is slightly better, Makino Technology has a stake in this Storm Entertainment, which proves that Storm Entertainment can get the resources it needs from Makino Technology, although Makino Technology does not have the gene of game operation, but at least it is still a community of tens of millions of users, and there is still some foundation, so he said: "As far as I know, the main product of Makino Technology is a Chinese community, you are making games now, how many users of Makino Technology can successfully convert?"
Lin Qingya asked him with a smile: "Mr. Jin, I don't know how much you know about Makino Technology?"
Kim Youquan said: "I know that Makino Technology has the world's largest Chinese community, but you and I both know how much water this statement has, and we also have a very famous forum in South Korea, claiming to be the world's largest Korean forum, but its users are only millions of domestic netizens." β
Lin Qingya said: "After all, the population covered by Chinese is larger than that of Korean, and Makino Technology has tens of millions of users in China alone, and is now one of the companies with the largest number of registered users and active users in China. β
Jin Youquan nodded and asked Lin Qingya: "Does your company, or Makino Technology, have any experience in operating games?"
In Jin Youquan's eyes, Storm Entertainment has the background of Makino Technology, and he can barely let himself take a look at it, but in his heart, he still can't accept the operation of "Miracle Mu" to such a company, so he doesn't want Lin Qingya to answer this question, but just hopes that she can understand the huge gap between her company and the excellent online game "Miracle Mu".
At this time, Lin Qingya asked him confidently: "Mr. Jin, I don't know if you have heard of Happy Farm?"
"Happy Farm?" Jin Youquan frowned, and the translator also translated these four words literally, so that after he listened to it, he thought that Lin Qingya was really asking a question about a certain farm, so he replied with a look of disinterest: "I have lived in Seoul since I was a child, my father is a military officer, my mother is a university professor, I have not been in contact with the farm since I was born, and I am not very clear about the things on the farm." β
Lin Qingya saw that his answer was particularly superior, and couldn't help but smile: "Mr. Jin, you misunderstood, the happy farm I am talking about is not a real farm for farming or breeding, but a farm online game just launched by Makino Technology some time ago. β
"Farm game?" Kim Woo-kwon's brows furrowed even tighter: "A farm in the countryside can also be made into an online game? If it's a stand-alone game running on a handheld console, I may be able to understand, after all, there is a Japanese game "Ranch Story", and it is not impossible to develop a farm game, but how much space can there be for an online game of farms? How many users does this game have? 30,000 to 50,000?"
35,000 is already an optimistic estimate of Kim Youquan, he has been making games for a few years, and he has seen many games that have not exceeded 10,000 users from launch to shutdown.
Lin Qingya pursed her lips at this time and smiled reservedly, and said: "Mr. Jin underestimated the user base of this game, the number of users of our game is now nearly 40 million, and the daily active users are more than 15 million. β
"How is that possible!" Kim Youquan almost jumped up from his chair in shock, and said in a daze: "40 million users, fifteen million daily active users?" Miss Lin, you're not joking with me, are you?"
Lin Qingya said with a smile: "If I'm joking, this joke is meaningless, if Mr. Jin takes the time to learn about the game "Happy Farm", he must know if I'm joking." β
Jin Youquan's expression immediately became stern, and he looked at Lin Qingya and asked seriously, "How many days is Miss Lin going to stay in Seoul?"
Lin Qingya said: "This depends on the situation we discuss, but it shouldn't take more than three or five days." β
Jin Youquan immediately said: "Then can you get here here for the time being today, I will ask our staff to arrange accommodation for you, I think we need some time to understand the "Happy Farm" you said first." β
With 40 million registered users and 15 million daily active users, if Makino Technology can really make such an awesome game and account for 20% of the shares in this storm entertainment, then Netzen will not hesitate to choose to cooperate with them, even if it is to kneel and lick.
