Chapter 69: Value
Although Lin Qi did not mention many conditions, Chang Xin understood that the conditions that Lin Qi said must be the top, and such people are not easy to find in the circle.
In the current circle, there are not many studio singers who are really skilled.
If Lin Qi wants to find someone who is handsome and popular, Chang Xin also has a lot of candidates.
Lin Qi doesn't care how Chang Xin looks for it, what he needs is the result, he is the boss, if he has to do everything, then what do he need his subordinates to do? Lin Qi has always felt so.
When he returned home, Lin Qi wrote "Song of a Good Man", and suddenly remembered that he still had a novel, and since he confessed 9527, he didn't pay much attention to it.
Hanging up his coat casually, Lin Qi said to 9527, "How is my novel?"
"It's blocked!" 9527's answer was calm, but it made Lin Qi frown.
How could this be? Although "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" is a tomb robbery novel, it will not be banned! Frowning, Lin Qi asked, "What's the matter? How can it be banned?"
"The Weibo platform sent an invitation to sign a contract!" 9527 said: "If you don't agree to sign the contract, then you can't publish it on the Weibo platform, I didn't agree, so it was blocked!"
"What kind of contract?" Lin Qi frowned and asked.
"Full Copyright Assignment Contract!" 9527 said directly.
That's not for the copyright, but to make a full copyright transfer contract, so what are you playing? Shaking his head, Lin Qi put this matter behind him.
I have a lot of things going on now, and it's okay to put the book thing aside for the time being, anyway, I haven't entered the film and television industry yet, and I'm not in a hurry when the time comes.
"I've found a good fit for the technical team!" 9527 said again.
"Tell me about it!" Lin Qi said, pouring himself a glass of water and finding a comfortable position to lie down on the sofa.
9527 showed a document to Lin Qi: "This is a software development team, which originally belonged to a software group, and jumped out to work alone, but now it can't hold on!"
"What software group does the rate belong to?" Lin Qi asked with an expressionless face after taking a sip of water.
"Weibo's parent company, New Wave Technology!" 9527 said: "The founder's name is Cao Xu, who was originally the deputy technical director of New Wave Technology, and there was a conflict with the concept of New Wave, so he took people to do it alone!"
"They developed a platform software, a software download platform, called the software library. ”
Lin Qi shook his head, the direction was right, but he didn't find the right entry point.
No matter what platform you do, the user is always the key, and how to maintain user viscosity is very important. The soft warehouse may be able to last for a while, but once it is squeezed, there is absolutely no room for survival.
The search engine database search and instant messaging TT in this life are no different from Baidu and QQ in the previous life, once they are optimistic about which part, they can squeeze in with strong user traffic.
If you want to make a platform, you need a software that is not overwhelmed by them, and software that can guarantee the installed capacity.
"What is the strength of the team?" Lin Qi pondered for a moment before asking again.
"Very good, Cao Xu is very capable, his skills are passable, although his team is less than forty people, but it is very suitable for you!" 9527 said directly.
Lin Qi nodded: "What about the money, how much does it cost? I don't have any funds here!"
"The acquisition can be made as a subsidiary of WhatsMiner Technology, and the funds can be provided by WhatsMiner Games, and the cash flow of WhatsMiner Games is very sufficient!" 9527 said: "The cash flow brought by "Plants vs. Zombies" is sufficient. ”
Although Lin Qi has established a financial team, in fact, Lin Qi's highest financial supervision has always been done by 9527, otherwise Lin Qi would not be so assured.
No matter what kind of game or entertainment, 9527 is all connected to the main computer in the office, which supervises the company's finances, which is very efficient and saves time and effort.
"How much money does Shenma Game have now?" Lin Qi thought for a moment and asked.
"The first batch of dividends is 15 million, the red envelope reward for employees, plus the dividend of 1.5 million to Chen Qian, the part that belongs to you is 13 million. ”
"Of them, you injected 10 million into Shenma Technology as capital, and now all of them are in the account of Shenma Technology, and what you can use is this part of the funds!" 9527 said.
"Is it enough?" Lin Qi subconsciously asked, since the other party has a software called a soft library, the price of 10 million is probably not enough, and Shenma Technology also needs money.
9527 said directly: "You can start the Shenma game and merge it into Shenma Technology." ”
It is certain that Shenma Games will be merged into Shenma Technology, but now Shenma Technology is an empty shell, if you really want to do that, what should Chen Qian's shares do?
What scale will Shenma Technology develop, Lin Qi naturally has a concept, and now give Chen Gan the shares of Shenma Technology, Lin Qi is reluctant, unless Chen Qian can accept less than three percent of the shares.
Can Chen Qian agree? 10 percent of the Shenma game will be exchanged for less than 3 percent of the shares of Shenma Technology.
"What if we don't merge for the time being?" Lin Qi thought about it, but decided not to merge first.
Once Shenma Technology grows and Shenma Games is merging, he will be able to reduce Chen Qian's shares in Shenma Technology to the greatest extent possible.
"Then dividends again!" 9527 said directly: "There is 73 million cash flow in the Shenma game account, which is the profit brought by "Plants vs. Zombies". After deducting costs and taxes, as well as platform shares!"
"So many?" Lin Qi asked with some surprise.
"Plants vs. Zombies is selling very well, and there are already companies that have come to negotiate licensing, and it will definitely be better in the future. 9527 said: "It is expected that "Plants vs. Zombies" will generate a net profit of 500 million within the year!"
Lin Qi didn't expect "Plants vs. Zombies" to be so profitable, in his previous life, he said that games make money, and game companies have a lot of money, but he didn't expect it to be really so profitable, a puzzle stand-alone game can create so much profit in a year.
In the previous life, "Plants vs. Zombies 1" was a stand-alone version, and the game developer did not make much money in China, because piracy was rampant.
When "Plants vs. Zombies 2" started the prop charging model, the daily turnover can reach 400,000, which is 12 million a month, but it is a lot of money.
According to 9527's conservative estimates, the conservative sales of "Plants vs. Zombies" should be around 200 million, which can bring 30 to 5 billion revenue to WhatsMiner Games.
The net profit is more than 2 billion, but this requires a sales cycle, according to the 9527 estimate, it should be in three to five years.
Lin Qi looked at the estimated data given by 9527, and suddenly realized that he still underestimated the wealth brought by his knowledge, and he regretted giving Chen Qian's ten percent shares.
"Tencent Games in the previous life ranked sixth in terms of market value among global game companies, with a value of $41.4 billion!" 9527 saw Lin Qi's appearance and threw another big bomb.
"How much did it cost Times Group to acquire Victory Games?" Lin Qi hadn't paid attention to this issue for a long time, but now he suddenly remembered.
"Times Group acquired 36 percent of the shares of Victory Games, and actually controlled Victory Games, spending 14.2 billion!" 9527 said: "The market value of Victory Games has reached 43 billion, and Times Group has paid a premium!"
Lin Qi was silent, a game company like Victory Games, which has gone downhill, is actually so valuable, what about Shenma Games?
"According to the current investment trend, if WhatsMiner Games goes public for financing, with the momentum of "Plants vs. Zombies", the valuation should be around four billion!" 9527 added.
"Now the number one game in China is the eternal game, with a market value of 180 billion!"
"Okay!" Lin Qi breathed a sigh of relief and made himself feel less distressed: "Then divide the red once, take out 50 million, give Chen Qian 5 million, and the remaining 45 million will all be injected into Shenma Technology!"
Although I feel a little distressed, but from another angle, I pointed out the creativity of the game, although creativity is king, but without Chen Qian's busy work, the Shenma game can't be built.
"No problem!" 9527 agreed.
What Lin Qi didn't expect was that as soon as he proposed dividends on his side, Chen Qian couldn't sit still.
After learning of Lin Qi's plan, Chen Qian realized that Lin Qi was ready to make a big deal in Shenma Technology. The experience of Shenma Games made Chen Qian realize that following Lin Qi must have a lot of benefits.
WhatsMiner Games has gone from the brink of bankruptcy to a new game company.
Since the popularity of "WhatsMiner Games", several limelight companies have approached him and asked about the financing of WhatsMiner Games. The valuations offered are higher than the others.
From the earliest hundreds of millions, to the current billions, Chen Qian realized how valuable the shares in his hands were.
Seeing that Lin Qi was going to do a big job in Shenma Technology, Chen Gan's mind became active, why didn't he replace the shares of Shenma Games with the shares of Shenma Technology?
In Chen Qian's opinion, Lin Qi will definitely merge Shenma Games into Shenma Technology, and taking advantage of the current share exchange is definitely the best time for himself.
When Lin Qi received Chen Gan's call, he was a little hesitant, he didn't expect Chen Qian to bring up this matter by himself, Lin Qi thought about it, and decided to talk to Chen Qian about this matter.
In the new office of WhatsMiner Games, Lin Qi met Chen Qian with a tired face, and it was not easy to prepare for a new company.
"Mr. Lin, I'll get straight to the point!" Chen Qian sat opposite Lin Qi with a smile: "Is Lin Qi going to merge Shenma Games into Shenma Technology?"
"WhatsMiner Games will be a subsidiary of WhatsMiner Technology and will not be merged!" Lin Qi knocked on the table and said slowly after thinking for a while.
