Chapter 84: A Game That Hasn't Been Released for a Long Time
Chapter 84: A game that has not been released for a long time
Gu Wencai sent a string of laughing expressions: "It's because there was no business contact before, so I want to talk about cooperation." If the negotiation is good, there will naturally be business contacts in the future!"
Li Hao was anxious about the UU conversion rate, and said impatiently: "Then how do you want to cooperate? ”
"I want to invest in your company!"
"Tell me how much money you're going to give?"
Investment?
Do you need it?
There is Maverick software written by Chen Yunfei, one of the top ten most wanted hackers in the United States, who can walk sideways in the gaming industry at almost no cost. How can you afford someone else's investment?
His headache now is how to convert Maverick's game users into UU software users, not money.
Li Hao didn't plan to let people get on the bus halfway, but he wanted to hear how much his company had reached in the industry.
"What percentage of equity can you sell?" asked Gu Wencai.
"If you want to pay the starting price, I can sell it all to you. Li Hao continued to flicker.
"The company valuates you at five million, and if you can sell the whole thing, I can give you an extra 500,000. ”
"Five and a half million, you want to buy my entire company?"
Li Hao sent ten laughing expressions in a row, and then he was ready to block this person.
Million?
It's ridiculous!
Do you think this is selling Chinese cabbage?
As long as there is a little bit of innovation gimmick, even the most garbage Internet startups are valued at a starting price of tens of millions!
Gu Wencai hurriedly said: "Brother Match, don't be angry, the business is negotiated." You can also say what conditions you have, and everyone will think about it. ”
Li Hao said: "To tell you the truth, I don't plan to sell the company, even if I want to sell it, I won't sell it to you! Your valuation is not too sincere, more than 20 million registered users, you offer me a price of several million? You might as well let me give it to you directly!"
Gu Wencai said: "Hongyan Network has indeed reached more than 20 million registered users, but this is all due to the bundling effect brought by the Maverick plug-in software, and your game guild has no profitability at all, and there is no way to convert these registered users into their own resources." I know that your company has also cooperated with Ruan Xue Technology to develop a UU software, but this software is also unpopular!"
There was some contempt in his tone!
The implication is that you are a studio that develops plug-ins to put it bluntly, and it is already very face-saving to be willing to give you 5 million.
Li Hao said a little angrily: "Who told you that no one cares?"
Gu Wencai said: "I heard that the number of downloads of your software is only two or three million. This is also a strange phenomenon on the Internet, with 20 or 30 million registered users, but only 2 or 3 million software downloads. Actually, I'm not optimistic about your UU software at all, you might as well put more energy into running a game guild and looking for a suitable profit model! If you find a suitable profit model, the valuation will definitely not be millions! In fact, to put it bluntly, you can only be regarded as a game studio now, not a startup at all. ”
He didn't notice that Li Hao was already very angry, and he continued to talk eloquently.
"I'm sorry, I didn't plan to sell the company. ”
Li Hao was too lazy to continue idling.
He really didn't want to waste time on this person.
Gu Wencai said endlessly: "Brother Match, what I said is from the bottom of my heart! In this way, if you really don't want to sell the company, it doesn't matter, we can talk about other levels of cooperation!"
"We really don't have anything to work with. ”
"No, we also have several games under our company, and we are going to enter the game field in a big way in the future, so there are many places for us to cooperate. ”
"Goodbye. ”
Li Hao did not hesitate to close the chat window.
The moment the chat window was closed, Li Hao noticed that Gu Wencai's personal signature had written a sentence: Please look forward to the turn-based online game masterpiece Fantasy Journey to the West!
Li Hao reopened the chat window and sent a message to Gu Wencai: "Fantasy Journey to the West is from your company?"
Gu Wencai said: "That's right!"
Li Hao said: "When will the game be launched?"
Gu Wencai said: "Actually, the beta version of the game came out at the end of last year, but I haven't found a suitable opportunity to launch it. ”
"Why?"
"This ......"
"I'm very interested in this game, and based on this game, we can talk about the possibility of working together. Li Hao was relieved.
Suddenly, Li Hao seemed to see a glimmer of hope!
Aren't you having a hard time with conversion rates?
If you can deeply bundle a popular game, zombies can also be resurrected!
"Legends" and "Warcraft" have become huge giants in the online game industry, and it is impossible to get deeply involved.
But what if it's the yet-to-be-released "Fantasy Journey to the West"?
He originally wanted to find Chen Yunfei to develop a new version of UU software and join the group function, but now it seems that he may have a better choice.
Fantasy Journey to the West has always been a pain point under Gu Wencai's hands, and he really doesn't want to say more.
But as soon as he heard that Li Hao was very interested in this game, he immediately introduced it enthusiastically: "The popular games now, such as Legend and Warcraft, are all made abroad. The introduction of these foreign games has to pay a lot of agency fees and account sharing fees, and in the end, the money is earned by foreign game companies. Our company has just started in the game field, firstly, we do not have enough investment to introduce large-scale foreign online games, and secondly, we want to develop our own domestic games, so we have developed such an online game based on the domestic mythological Journey to the West. ”
Li Hao nodded and said: "This idea is very good, we should develop our own national game industry! But why is the game not launched when it is done?"
Gu Wencai sighed and said: "The company has a lot of concerns! The domestic game development technology is backward, the talent reserve is insufficient, and it is impossible to develop an online game as sophisticated as Warcraft! In order to create a fantasy journey to the west, we have invited the best technical team in China, but the effect is still far inferior to that of foreign games. Not only the graphics effect, but also the playability of the game is far inferior! The company has little confidence in this game, and is reluctant to spend a large amount of money to promote the operation, so the launch time has been postponed again and again. ”
"Oh. ”
Li Hao nodded thoughtfully.
NetYi Technology is not confident in releasing this game?
He knew that a great opportunity was in front of him!
