Chapter 95: Make a Friend
Max came to China this time, in fact, to attract investment.
This is normal.
If any online game wants to be promoted, it will inevitably need a lot of money.
Nowadays, China's economy is gradually recovering, and it has the potential to catch up with and surpass the United States, which has naturally attracted the attention of many people.
In fact, today's Huaxia can already rank among the top three in the world in terms of comprehensive quality.
Nowadays, Huaxia's entertainment has also begun to revivenation.
It is true that piracy in Huaxia is serious, but they are online games and have little impact.
And in fact, in the world, there are many local bosses in Huaxia.
I don't need to worry about the reasons for this, but I have to say that as long as the future of the game is good, you can get a good investment.
But here's the problem.
Max's original plan was to go to the penguins.
After all, Penguin has the largest user base on the Internet and has a strong user stickiness.
But here's the problem.
Penguins don't have a live streaming platform.
And the reason why Max is optimistic about Bilibili is not because of anything else, but because Mao Yi's live broadcast platform is too complete!
Yes, completeness.
Even if Mao Yi did not expand the live broadcast business before, but only a little mention of the familiar sections and functions in later generations is not comparable to today's poor and rough live broadcast platform.
What even shocked Max was that Bilibili's live broadcast platform was even more complete than the live broadcast platform owned by foreign countries at this time!
Although it has not yet been developed due to the limited time of its establishment, a live broadcast platform that is richer than the live broadcast section of foreign Justin.tv websites, and is superior in terms of content, gameplay, activities, etc., when it gets enough funds......
What will become?
Max couldn't have imagined.
It is precisely because of this live broadcast platform that Max did not go to Penguin, but came to Bilibili.
Mao Yi blinked and fell into deep thought.
Investing in fists is, of course, a surefire deal.
In fact, the reason why the penguin in the previous life was able to rise and fall in the previous life for decades, in addition to the agent's free krypton side-scrolling game, the most important thing is the LOL of Riot!
It is also one of the few companies that still occupies half of the entire Chinese Internet terminal game when the terminal game declines in the future.
It can be said that the existence of LOL is of great significance to penguins.
In the same way, LOL is important!
Very important!
But here's the problem.
Although Bilibili is a company that focuses on two-dimensional culture, it does not have talent in games.
If you buy Fist, then it is bound to create a problem.
Bilibili itself does not have a game development team, and with the whip out of reach, I'm afraid Riot will go the wrong way when the time comes.
Don't underestimate penguins!
Any company that underestimates and ignores him has been taken down by the torrent of the times!
Only the penguins have been standing!
So now there is only one solution.
After Mao Yi watched the game content and materials in the notebook brought by Max in detail, and determined that it was completely consistent with the first version of LOL in his previous life, he gave four acquisition plans.
First, Bilibili invested $50 million to acquire all the copyrights of Riot, and Riot became a company owned by Bilibili, and Bilibili has the final say on any version.
Second, Bilibili invested $8 million to acquire a 20% stake in Riot, which retains the right to operate alone, but Bilibili has the final veto power on any version of the upgrade.
Third, Bilibili invests $5 million, owns no less than 15% of the shares, and will not interfere in any decisions of the fist, but Bilibili has the right to make suggestions regarding upgrades and changes to the version.
Fourth, Bilibili invests $3 million, holds 10% of the shares, and will not interfere with any decisions, only enjoying dividends.
Of course, these four plans will be obtained by Bilibili LOL's national server agency, and will have the right to change the national server independently, and will also arrange special personnel to go to the headquarters of Riot in the United States to learn relevant knowledge.
Max fell into deep thought after reading these four solutions.
The first and fourth are not desirable.
He didn't come to invest in it, but not to work for people, let alone to raise rice worms.
Three million dollars is not a lot, but any money is pyramidal.
The higher it is, the higher the return.
After a certain standard, no amount of more is useless.
Then the second and third are left.
Strictly speaking, the conditions for the third type are better.
Not only is the money not too small, but the right is only the right to suggest.
But things can't be seen that way.
Although the second type is a bit harsher and has veto power, the stake is only 20%, which is only 5% higher than the third type, but it is 3 million dollars more!
And then the final veto, although it may seem powerful, ......
They are American online game companies, not Huaxia.
At that time, even if Bilibili really sends someone to Riot to supervise, it can use various ways to fool the past.
But the right to suggest is different.
The right to suggest means to have the meaning of suggesting, proposing, for a certain version.
In other words, if Bilibili doesn't like a certain version, it can be forced to listen to it by suggesting it!
It's disgusting.
So the only thing left is the second one.
But just say yes, Max doesn't want to either.
Seeing Max's hesitant look, Mao Yi said with a smile: "If Mr. Max doesn't like the conditions given by us, then you can go back and think about it for a few days. ”
Max was stunned, as if he didn't expect that Mao Yi would offer to let him go back and think.
"Dear Mao ......," Max asked, puzzled, "Haven't you been optimistic about our game?"
"No!" Mao Yi said sincerely: "I am very optimistic, and even think that this will be an epoch-making online game." ”
"But why are you ......?"
"Because I'm Chinese. Mao Yi said with a smile: "For Chinese people, as long as they are friends, we will warmly welcome them." ”
"Friend...... "Max was stunned, thoughtful.
"What? Does Mr. Max look down on me? He doesn't even want to make a friend?"
"NONO!DEAR MAO, WE WILL BE BEST FRIENDS FROM TODAY ON!" THINKING ABOUT IT, MAX SAID SOLEMNLY: "NO MATTER WHETHER OUR FINAL DEAL IS SUCCESSFUL OR NOT, AS LONG AS I AM STILL AT RIOT FOR A DAY, THE FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN RIOT AND BILIBILI WILL LAST FOREVER!"
"Hehe, thank you. ”
Max is gone.
The translator on the side hesitated for a moment and asked Mao Yi softly: "Boss, aren't you optimistic about this project?"
"No, quite the opposite, I'm very bullish on this game. ”
"Then you ......"
"Are you trying to ask why I chose to let him go and see someone else's offer?"
"Uh...... Yes. ”
"When you figure it out, you'll be able to sit in my place. Mao Yi patted the translator's shoulder with a smile and left with a smile.
