Chapter 18 For the company to develop, it also needs a loan
"Horsten, welcome. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Through the advance notice of the other party, Li Guangyan knew that the name of the middle-aged man of Swedish nationality in front of him was Holsten Linnaeus.
"Thank you, are you the receptionist sent by Luqi Company?" Holsten asked with a smile on his face.
Although the two communicated in English, Li Li behind Li Guangyan and the team brought by Holsten were able to understand without pressure, unlike Holsten's team, Li Li couldn't help but laugh secretly after hearing Holsten's question.
"Mr. Holsten, let me introduce myself, my name is Li Guangyan, and I am the boss of Luqi Company." Li Guangyan replied with a smile on his face and very seriously.
"The boss of the Green Qi Company?"
Holsten just heard this, and he still couldn't believe his ears, but when he saw Li Li nodding slightly behind Li Guangyan, his eyes widened and he exclaimed:
"Oh, the cake seller! You're Lee? The author who made the hell border and the duplex, and also has a mature and unique anti-piracy technology! I always thought that you should at least be the same age as me, but I didn't expect you to be so young! ā
In fact, he is still in his teens, and his appearance and appearance are not much immature. Besides, compared to other adults who have entered society, he is still a high school student at this time.
Although there is not much difference between a long-term leave of absence and a leave of absence from school.
"Actually, because I'm young and playful, my biggest hobby is playing games that I make myself." Li Guangyan is actually not wrong, although the game was made by him through the system, it does not affect him to play this game.
The signing of the contract with Valve is a very important event in the eyes of the entire Luqi company, but in fact, the matter simply makes Li Guangyan feel that he is making a big fuss.
On the evening of the arrival of Holsten's delegation in Shanghai, Li Guangyan hosted a sumptuous dinner for the guests.
The next day, only one morning was spent on the matters to be worked on, and the vast majority of the work was spent on lawyers reviewing contracts.
However, Li Guangyan didn't know if it was because he was overthinking or because of something else, this cooperation was reached cleanly and neatly by both parties. There is neither the other party doing anything on the contract, nor is there any trap to keep people, so both Li Guangyan and Valve are very satisfied with this cooperation.
"Sister Li, do you know anyone from the bank, I want to take out a loan. Whether it's the revenue of a released game or a contract you've just signed, I don't think it's much of a problem to borrow a few million, right? When the contract was signed, Holsten and their team quickly left Huhai City, and after returning to the company, Li Guangyan asked Li Li who stayed in the company directly.
"Loans? Boss, isn't our company's performance very good? Why take out a loan? Li Li asked Li Guangyan with some doubts.
Since Li Guangyan's first game, until today, the profit earned through the game has exceeded one million. The first game was only released for about a month, and while this kind of profitability is not unusual, it has a lot of potential given the size of the company today.
In addition, the game still has overseas sales, although the first overseas sales have not yet been recorded, but now the two games have been sold tens of thousands of times on the Steam platform, and their revenue is not higher than that of domestic, and even the potential of sales revenue abroad is higher than that of China!
However, the most valuable thing for the company now is undoubtedly the cooperation agreement signed with Valve, an internationally renowned game company, to provide Steam anti-piracy technology projects with a share of profits, not to mention domestic loans, that is, to any foreign bank, after seeing this agreement, you can easily lend at least millions.
Or dollars!
"Although the company's revenue capacity is okay, if you want to develop rapidly, you need to have enough capital. Don't look at the hundreds of thousands of dollars in our account now, but except for the company's use, we can't even afford to buy a server. Now domestic stand-alone games are not popular, only online games are the most profitable. Li Guangyan said helplessly.
Compared to single-player games, online games have been booming since the turn of the millennium.
In online games, players can experience interaction with other players and experience the fun of playing games together. This is something that can't be compared to a single-player game!
And the profitability of online games is very powerful.
For example, those online games that were popular in 08, which one didn't have an income of more than 100 million? Among them, the game Crossfire, which is represented by Tencent, will even become the most profitable game in the world in the future!
By what?
Ordinary guns cost tens of dollars a month, and you still need to buy them when they expire.
I remember that before Li Guangyan crossed, he bought a character, and it actually cost him more than 400 yuan, and those guns that are known as artifacts are even more than 800 yuan!
Of course, Li Guangyan has also seen genuine stand-alone games on Steam, and even sell them for thousands of yuan, but the high-priced road in online games has a very, very large number of people selling them, while few people even know about genuine stand-alone games.
Sometimes Li Guangyan even sets up a routine for the game, and the stand-alone game fights the plot and sells the story, which is a literary film in the game industry. Online games are popular and sell props, which is a commercial film in the game industry.
As for Warcraft, an online game that has both a plot and popularity, it is a commercial film that is both literary and popular like the third-level shipwreck film of the card director.
"Boss, I'm just a college graduate, and none of my classmates have gone to work in a bank, and I don't know anyone in the bank. But as far as I know, it's not easy if you want to take out a loan, after all, domestic banks generally use tangible assets as collateral, such as if you want to mortgage contracts or games, it is more difficult. Li Li thought about it and said to Li Guangyan.
"If you don't know each other, forget it, every bank will contact us, apply for our company and the bank's online payment business, and then put forward the news that you want to take out a loan, and ask which bank agrees." After Li Guangyan thought about it, he suddenly thought that his company still uses Alipay to pay, and now that the company has it, it is time to open the function of online banking payment.
"Okay, I'll do it." Li Li agreed without hesitation.
"You can ask if you want to save a loan, I heard that they are very interested in the business of commercial companies." Li Guangyan finally proposed.
In fact, Li Guangyan is no stranger to loans, although he has not taken out loans, but his relatives do!
And he's also heard a lot of rich billionaires who look glamorous, but actually owe money to the bank. If you calculate negative equity, many of them are even insolvent!
Compared with those, Li Guangyan feels that his loan conditions are still very good.
