Chapter 410: New Company
Gao He originally planned to come out again after working in the company this year, because this unexpected change must have affected his plans, but his resignation was not the result of complete blindness and impulsiveness.
Bad things can turn into good things.
"I have two buddies in the company who have a good relationship and ability, and they want to start a business with me!"
Gao He said: "And among the group of people who just graduated from our school this year, I contacted a few juniors, and if necessary, I can immediately pull up a team of about ten people." ”
Gao He's previous company was small, and the current mobile game industry is extremely competitive, and in a winner-takes-all situation, the situation of vulnerable small enterprises is undoubtedly much more difficult.
Low wages and benefits, high labor intensity, and uncertain future Gao He has been in this company for more than a year, and he has long had the idea of leaving, but he stayed out of the need to accumulate work experience.
So after talking to Lu Chen last time, he was actively preparing.
To make a mobile game, a team of more than ten people is definitely far from enough, but as long as the flag is erected, it is not difficult to recruit relevant professionals in Hangzhou, a high-tech hot land, depending on how big the stall needs to be.
"In the beginning, we didn't need a lot of people"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "The first game project, I have already thought about it. ”
"What?"
Gao He suddenly became interested: "Role-playing, action, strategy, puzzle?"
He asked about the type of game.
When starting a new company, the choice of mobile game type is very important and is one of the keys to success.
Gao He understands technology and can be a hard-working IT scalper, but game creativity is not his strong point.
He cares about the ideas proposed by Lu Chen, even more than the funds provided by Lu Chen!
In such a mobile game market, creativity is truly king.
Lu Chen was not in a hurry to answer, he asked the waiter to find him a pen and a few pieces of printer paper.
Picking up the pen and writing a line of English letters on the paper, Lu Chen handed it to Gao He.
Gao He took it and looked at it, looking confused.
Wang Xiao/Ling poked her head curiously and asked cautiously, "Happy?"
What is written on the paper is a one-line URL: www.kaixin.com!
Lu Chen smiled: "That's right, this will be the website of the new company, called Happy Network!"
This website has been registered for a long time, fortunately it does not belong to a well-known website, but in the hands of domain name dealers, Lu Chen only spent 100,000 yuan to buy it.
"The first project of the new company will be a plantation social web and mobile game!"
He used his pen to quickly sketch a rough picture of the game with simple strokes on the new white paper, divided into acres of fields, farmhouses, windmills, small rivers, etc., and of course vegetables and vegetables that grow.
Lu Chen had studied sketching and color before, and although his drawing ability was far from being comparable to that of professionals, there was no pressure to draw this kind of sketch similar to that of a child's drawing, and it was completed quickly.
He used this picture to explain his idea to Gao He and the others: "The name of this game is Happy Farm, and all registered users have the starting resources, six acres of fields, farm tools, seeds, etc., and they can log in online every day to manage their farms, planting, watering, fertilizing, removing insects, and picking."
That's it, huh?
Gao He and Wang Xiao/Ling looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
The two of them work in this industry, not to mention ability or anything, they have knowledge and experience.
Lu Chen's game creativity is a bit special, but it doesn't sound very attractive, who would be bored enough to grow vegetables on their mobile phones and computers every day?
It's just that for the sake of face, both of them are not easy to say, and their expressions are somewhat strange.
Lu Chen looked at the expressions of both of them, and continued with a smile: "Don't you feel a little boring? In fact, the key to this game is interactivity, registered users can invite other people to become friends, and then help their friends' farms manage and cultivate, or steal their planting results. ”
"That is, stealing vegetables!"
In Lu Chen's dream world, "Happy Farm" once created a miracle in a browser game, and the craze of national vegetable stealing lasted for a long time, and it appeared frequently in the media and made a lot of news.
Unfortunately, it appeared a little earlier, when smartphones were just beginning to develop, otherwise they would have become a popular mobile game, simple, fun, interactive, and aimed at the weaknesses of human nature.
Lu Chen took this game as a start-up project for the new company, first of all, the idea of "Happy Farm" is excellent, which is guaranteed to be an instant hit, and secondly, it is not difficult to make and is most suitable for small teams to start a business.
No mobile game will last long, and Happy Farm will be no exception, but by the time the game has declined, the company's roots have been solid.
At that time, Lu Chen will be able to come up with more ideas - Fruit Ninja, Plants vs. Zombies, and Angry Birds
After listening to Lu Chen's detailed explanation of "Happy Farm", it was the non-professional Wang Xiao/Ling who reacted first: "This is very interesting, we girls must like to play." ”
Girls usually don't like fighting games that kill and kill, and the casual ones are the most suitable, "Happy Farm" is not only a casual game, but also has the attributes of upgrading and competition, and the key is that it is extremely interactive.
Lu Chen continued: "On the user, you can bind Feixun, so that users can directly log in to the game with Feixun, and invite all friends to participate together. ”
As the overlord of network instant messaging, Feixun has the largest and most extensive users in the world, and it is a common practice for many websites and games to register members by using ready-made Feixun signals.
Lu Chen's studio has a good cooperative relationship with Feixun, so there is no problem in applying for the use of Feixun's resources, and you can even advertise through Feixun.
Lu Chen thought of this step, and even Gao He, who was still a little ignorant, strengthened his determination: "Third child, what do you say/then do it, everything is up to you!"
Wang Xiao/Ling gritted her teeth and said: "Lu Chen, the investment of the new company, Gao He will pay 300,000, I will pay 200,000, and the two of us will add up to a total of 500,000, and the proportion of shares will be determined by you!"
said that it was two people, but in fact, it was all the money that the two families could come up with.
Lu Chen nodded: "Then I will give 4.5 million, accounting for 80% of the shares, you 10%, and another 10% as equity incentives, for those employees who have contributed in the future, what do you think?"
To start the "Happy Farm" project, 5 million is definitely more than enough, Lu Chen's equity distribution plan is very fair and reasonable, and it is slightly biased towards Gao He and the two, because 10% of the incentive equity is equivalent to what he took out, and it also provided the most important idea.
Without thinking, Takaga said, "No problem!"
Lu Chen smiled and stretched out his hand: "Come, I wish us a happy cooperation!"
The second one is sent. (To be continued.) )
