Chapter 96: Five Minutes Company [One Update]

Modu, a super city with a population of 20 million, is the largest foreign trade port and industrial base in China, and is also the financial, economic, trade and shipping center of China.

Its most famous landmark building is the Oriental Pearl Tower, referred to as the Oriental Pearl Tower, located on both sides of the Huangpu River.

Since its completion in 1994, no less than 20 fireworks shows have been held at the Oriental Pearl Tower, the most famous one being the 1997 'Xiangjiang Return to the Motherland Literary and Art Fireworks Gala'.

But what really made the citizens more interested was the 'mysterious fireworks show' last night.

Especially the final appearance of Dabai, whether it is someone who comes with anticipation or someone who simply comes to see the excitement, it is a big surprise for them.

Because of the precedent of Pengcheng's 'mysterious fireworks', the news about "Mysterious Fireworks Appearing in the Oriental Pearl Tower" made the front page headlines of major newspapers and media early in the morning.

Many citizens get up early for morning exercise or go to work, and the first thing they say when they meet friends and colleagues is: 'Did you see the fireworks last night?' ’

People's curiosity about the truth, coupled with the pursuit of media reports, also made the 'Five Colors Fireworks Factory', which hosted the fireworks show last night, famous overnight.

As soon as I got to work in the morning, a reporter called to ask the investors behind the fireworks, but the unified reply they received was: there is no comment for the time being.

……

At 8 a.m., the Oriental Pearl Tower glows in the nascent sun. Dong Gang, the spark salesman in charge of the fireworks show in the magic capital, checked out of a nearby hotel.

Looking at the tower behind him, he felt relieved. Now that the work he is responsible for has been completed, let's look at the next few colleagues.

However, Dong Gang did not completely relax, because Zhang Fan also found him another task: to find the game company that made Zuò 'Happy Farm'.

After the fireworks show last night, he went back to the hotel and checked the game "Happy Farm" on the Internet, and really found a news article called "Modu International Animation and Game Expo" from the 'Baidu keyword results'.

According to the news content: Modu Five Minutes Game Company participated in the "Modu International Animation and Game Expo" at the end of June this year, and announced the community game that is being tested internally - "Happy Farm" at the expo.

"If there is only one company in the magic capital, it should be what the boss said."

With thoughts, Dong Gang put down his shoulder bag, stopped a taxi and decided to go to the 'Innovation Plaza' where the 'Five Minutes Company' was located.

Located in the Modu Yangpu District, Innovation Square is a gathering place for young entrepreneurs, bringing together many young college students and technology companies, and attracting many artists to settle down and create because of its beautiful and clean environment.

An hour later, the car stopped at the top of the square, and Dong Gang stepped out of the taxi with the address he had found on the Internet. At this time, the mobile phone in his bag rang, and the caller was Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan said: "Is that company easy to find?" ”

"The boss has been found." Dong Gang held his mobile phone and said as he walked: "Yesterday, I searched on the Internet and found that there is a game company called Five Minutes...... In the news, it was said that they took "Happy Farm" to participate in the "Magic City Animation and Game Expo" at the end of June, is this what the boss said? ”

"This is it." Zhang Fan stretched his arms and said: "You go, first learn about the game development situation from them as an agent, and ask if the copyright is still in their hands." Let's sort out the size of their company and the game information and send it to my email. ”

Dong Gang nodded and said, "Okay boss, I'm near their company now, and I'll get back to you soon." ”

"Well, it's been hard for you for the past two days." Zhang Fan hung up the phone with a smile.

……

Innovation Avenue Plaza, 3rd Floor, Building 9.

"It should be here......" Looking at the open glass door opposite, Dong Gang put away the note in his hand.

At this moment, a young man with glasses walked out of the five-minute company, and the short-haired T-shirt made him look energetic.

He is Guo Jiang, one of the founders of Five Minutes.

"Hello, you are Mr. Dong from the security room, right? My name is Guo Jiang and I am the business manager of the company. Sorry, I lost something in the office building recently......"

"Hello Manager Guo, my name is Dong Gang."

The two greeted and entered the five-minute company.

When I entered, I saw that there were not many people in the company, only about 6 or 7 people were working, and the walls around me were pasted with original drawings and design drafts.

Seeing this, Dong Gang had a preliminary judgment on the scale of this company in his heart, and secretly thought: "Their scale should not exceed 500,000, I don't know why the boss will take a fancy to this company." Is it because of the Happy Farm game? ”

Guo Jiang took a glass of pure water and handed it to Dong Gang and said, "I'm sorry Mr. Dong, we don't have a drink here." ”

"Thank you." Dong Gang retracted his divine words: "Recently, did your company participate in the exhibition at the 'Magic Capital Animation and Game Expo'?" ”

"Yes......" Guo Jiang realized that the other party might have come to discuss cooperation, and pressed his excitement and waited for him to explain his intentions.

Dong Gang said: "That's the case. Our chairman, Mr. Zhang Fan, heard about the "Happy Farm" game exhibited by your company at the expo...... He was very interested, so he sent me to ask your company about the development of the game. I wonder if Manager Guo can talk about your "Happy Farm"? ”

"Zhang Fan......" Guo Jiang doesn't remember meeting such a person at the expo, but this does not affect him from selling the company's games to Dong Gang.

……

"Happy Farm" is actually the fourth community game developed by Five Minutes.

The first one is called "Queen of Madness", which is a chess-themed game, but there are not many people who can play chess in Huaxia at present, and the number of active people is only a few hundred after the Renren platform is launched.

After learning their lessons, Five Minutes created a mass jigsaw puzzle game that reached thousands of active users after launch, which gave them hope.

Next, Five Minutes launched its third competitive racing game: Cars.

As soon as this game was launched on the Renren social platform, it was loved by netizens, and its popularity ranking once reached the top ten. But the income is very bleak.

Because community games themselves are free-to-play games, they sell paid props to users where they earn, and users will make money when they consume props, and they will not earn money if they don't consume. The money earned will also be divided according to a certain proportion with the platform.

"Happy Farm" is the fourth game in five minutes, and they don't have a lot of confidence in this game, and the game almost died due to recent financial constraints.

In the past few days, the other two founders, Xu Qing and Shao Fei, are still worried about the company's financial problems, and today they went out to borrow money from their families.

Of course, Guo Jiang couldn't say these words to Dong Gang, and he tried his best to show Dong Gang the fun of the game "Happy Farm" and other aspects of the company.

"Can I take some pictures?" Dong Gang said: "My boss said that I would sort out a copy of your company's information and send it to him, and we also want a copy of your company's share information." ”

"Share information? What does he want all this for? Are you planning to take a stake? Guo Jiang's heart was suddenly excited, and he said to a colleague behind him: "Qianqian, go and bring our "Happy Farm" planning ......."

"Mr. Dong, may I ask what ...... your company is?"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce it." Dong Gang opened the bag and said: "Our company is called Xinghuo, officially registered in September this year, with a registered capital of 200 million, and currently has nearly 300 employees. In addition, our boss, Mr. Zhang Fan, and another partner jointly established an Internet company with a registered capital of more than 200 million yuan. ”

Hearing these words, Guo Jiang was stunned for a moment, and the employees around him who were typing on the keyboard suddenly quieted down.

Seeing their looks, Dong Gang looked a little proud, and wanted to hand him a business card, but suddenly remembered that the business card was printed with a big white LOGO.

"No, the boss plans to announce it to the public in ten days: Dabai...... There's a big white LOGO on it, won't it be revealing to him? ”

After thinking for a while, Dong Gang pulled up his bag and said, "I'm sorry, I originally wanted to hand you a business card." But recently our company is working on a marketing campaign that involves some logo issues. You can check us out on the Internet. ”

"If you don't even give a business card, you can't be a liar, right?" Where did Guo Jiang know the reason, and his originally fiery heart suddenly cooled.

"I'm sorry Mr. Dong, we have protection for shareholder information. Why don't I provide you with a copy of the company information? ”

"That's okay, you can give me a copy of the company information, and I'll send it to the boss later." Dong Gang said with a smile.

"Okay." The more Guo Jiang thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he suppressed the urge to call the police, but still took a copy of the information and handed it to him.

Dong Gang didn't stay in their company long after collecting the information, came to a nearby café to ask for a cup of coffee, and began to sort out the information.

……

Near noon, Pengcheng Yasheng Building.

"You said the size of the other party is only 200,000?"

In the office, Zhang Fan leaned on the chair with a look of disbelief, and at the same time, the smile on the corner of his mouth showed what he was feeling after hearing the news.

"I guess what the other party said is a bit false." Dong Gang said with a smile on the phone: "When I went, there were less than 10 people working in his company......"

"Originally, I wanted to give them a business card, but didn't the business card have our company's logo printed on it? Then I asked them to look it up on the Internet, and the manager's face changed suddenly, probably thinking that he was a liar. ”

"Hehe......" Zhang Fan smiled and said, "Do what you do, let me doubt it." ”

While speaking, Zhang Fan operated the mouse with his hand to check the email sent by Dong Gang.

The content of the email included: the scale of the enterprise in five minutes, the development of games and other aspects, and finally the relevant information of "Happy Farm" that he paid attention to also came into view.

The general content and gameplay are the same as what Zhang Fan heard from the radio.

Looking at the picture of 'farmland plants' in the photo, Zhang Fan pondered: "You go to the company for five minutes in the afternoon and ask them if they are willing to sell the company or accept investment." ”

"I have two sets of plans here, 11 million yuan to acquire all their shares, and after the acquisition, they will continue to hold their original positions and enjoy our Spark dividend benefits. 2. Invest 5 million and occupy 51 of their shares ......"

"This time, you go and be sincere, and tell them about our company. The other party is willing to sell or accept the investment, you call me. I will do my best to arrange for a lawyer to come and negotiate. ”

"I know boss." Dong Gang said.

"Well, there's news to call me." As he spoke, Zhang Fan hung up the phone.

Through the glass wall in front of me, I saw Li Yue walk in with a curly-haired beauty in a black professional uniform.
