Chapter 338: Financial Crisis
"Isn't it, Sister Ling Wei? Is there a shortage of money in the company to this point? I remember that not long ago, both Crystal Origin 2 and Valkyrie brought huge profits to the company, even if Xbox is a big money-eater, it won't run out of money so quickly, right? ”
Li Haoyu's surprise is not unreasonable, Jingyuan Century has brought more than one billion dollars in profits to the Mythical Group, and the Valkyrie has also made 800 million US dollars, even if 10% is given to the studio that develops the game, the Mythical Group should not have an imbalance in its income and expenditure.
Wang Lingwei glanced at Li Haoyu and said: "I said chairman, you really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are!" You know the number of money that Lu Dao makes, do you know how fast we spend money now? The construction of the headquarters building needs to invest 300 million to 500 million yuan every month, Xbox also needs to subsidize nearly 200 million yuan every month, the company's wages and benefits also need 500 million yuan per month, so many game studios still need to allocate funds from time to time, and the chairman of the board of directors you have to buy this and that from time to time, even if the company is a mountain of gold, it can't support these bottomless pit consumption! ”
Li Haoyu froze, it turned out that the finances of the Mythical Group were also very nervous, and he, the chairman, seemed to be in vain, and he didn't know anything about this kind of thing. However, he has already promised Xu Qing to increase the allocation of more than 200 million yuan and purchase a "Dawning Nebula" supercomputer, if Wang Lingwei does not approve, where will he have the face to meet Xu Qing?
"Sister Ling Wei, can't you be accommodating?" Li Haoyu said cheekily.
Wang Lingwei looked at Li Haoyu vigilantly and said, "Chairman, how much do you want?" ”
Li Haoyu said curtly: "It's not much, it's really not much, it only needs 1.5 billion." ”
"1.5 billion?!" Wang Lingwei jumped up as if she was being stepped on by a cat with her tail stepped on, and screamed: "No! Don't even think about it! Li Haoyu, you really treat money as Chinese cabbage grown in your backyard, you can collect as much as you want? I'm telling you, the company has no money! If you ask for money, you can fire me, lest I fill in the holes for you all day long!" ”
Li Haoyu didn't expect Wang Lingwei's reaction to be so big, he touched his nose and said, "Sister Ling Wei, if 1.5 billion can't work, then give 1 billion first, when Xu Qinglai from Xishanju applies for funds, you can give them 400 million to 500 million funds several times." ”
Wang Lingwei shook her head like a drum, and said nothing: "No, the company only repaid the loan of Huaxia Industrial and Commercial Bank of China for 2 billion yuan not long ago, and now there is really not much liquidity in the company, and you don't know that the liquidity is exhausted, once something goes wrong, it will cause the entire company's capital chain to collapse, even if you call your sister over, I will never agree to your request." ”
Li Haoyu was depressed, once Wang Lingwei did not agree to the appropriation, even if Li Haoyu was the boss of the Mythical Group, he couldn't take her, so after thinking about it, he dialed Li Yayan's phone and asked her to come over to discuss.
Supercomputers are of great significance to the development of games for the entire company, not to mention that he can't afford to wait that long to make an ultra-modern game without a supercomputer, which will not be developed until the Year of the Monkey.
Not long after Li Yayan received the call, she came to Wang Lingwei's office, looked at the angry two and said with a smile: "Haoyu, Ling Wei, what is the matter for you to come to me?" ”
"Ya Yan, you will come to evaluate the theory, your brother wants 1.5 billion as soon as he comes over, and he can take as much as he wants when the company is the country's bank!" Wang Lingwei snorted angrily.
Li Yayan turned her head to Li Haoyu, and said suspiciously: "Haoyu, where do you want to buy it if you want so much money?" In recent years, Li Haoyu has been making a lot of money, acquiring many game companies one after another, although many times Li Haoyu pays for it himself, but the expansion of the Myth Group is too rapid, which has given Li Yayan a headache.
Li Haoyu said: "This time I am not buying other companies, but I just want to purchase a supercomputer of about 1.2 billion yuan for the company's studios to improve their speed of developing games." The other 500 million is mainly invested in Xishanju to develop new games. ”
"What game costs 500 million?"
Li Yayan and Wang Lingwei couldn't help but be dumbfounded, although the current game has moved towards a high-quality game, is it too much to use 500 million yuan to develop a game? Even those game companies in South Korea spend at most two or three hundred million yuan to develop games, and domestic games even if they have the concept of developing high-quality games under the influence of Shinhwa Group, but it is already very rare for these game companies to spend tens of millions to develop a game, let alone 500 million.
Even domestic blockbusters hardly use 500 million to shoot a movie.
Li Haoyu: This is so much money that you burn your hands?
"What else can it be, it's the 'Proud Sword Xuantianlu' game that Xishanju is developing over there, I chatted with Xu Qing for a while, and I think I can add a few interesting elements to the game, but with our current level of technology, there is still some difficulty, so I decided to make additional investment." Li Yayan and Wang Lingwei are not outsiders, Li Haoyu said it honestly.
"You will be given a maximum of 100 million, and you can figure out the rest of the money yourself!" Wang Lingwei refused to nod no matter what Li Haoyu said.
Li Haoyu had a headache and looked at Li Yayan, but Li Yayan agreed with Wang Lingwei's opinion, and said: "Haoyu, there is really not much liquidity in the company now, and the funds of the game being operated are relatively slow to be withdrawn, so you have to figure out how to figure out this yourself, and you can use the operating expenses of the game 'Proud Sword Xuantianlu' yourself." ”
Li Haoyu smiled bitterly, he saw that it was impossible to take out another penny from Wang Lingwei today, and sighed and said: "Sister Lingwei, you still use this 100 million Sister Lingwei in other places in the company, I will figure out how to find this money myself." ”
Wang Lingwei made a gesture of victory, and said with a rare smile on her face: "My chairman, these two billion are just trivial to you, don't be so sad, others will think I'm bullying you when they see it!" ”
What else could Li Haoyu do, he could only return to his office with a bitter face, Zhang Ningqiao poured him a cup of tea and let him stay in the office quietly.
"Xiaoyu, how much money do I have in my personal account in a Swiss bank?" Li Haoyu's Swiss bank accounts are all managed by Xiao Yu, and she is also doing a very good job of withdrawing or depositing money as quickly as possible.
Xiao Yu smiled and said, "My dear master, you only have one billion yuan in your personal account in a Swiss bank." ”
Li Haoyu said in surprise: "Xiaoyu, are you mistaken, why is there only this money in my personal account?" ”
Xiaoyu said: "That's right, you spent part of it when you bought Xbox, and you also personally subsidized part of it in the early stage of Xbox, plus other places, you only have this amount of money in your account." ”
Li Haoyu smiled bitterly and said, "Help me take out this billion, I'll go to Yanjing in a few days to order a supercomputer." ”
