"Mr. He, please forgive me for taking the liberty of disturbing me today."
"Just call me Ah Peng, it's just that I'm curious, where did you know about our company."
He Peng looked at Guan Huang, who was sitting opposite, and thought to himself that he was a gold digger again,
"A friend told me that there is a team working on card games of the Three Kingdoms, so I came over to take a look, you know, mobile games are hot now, and there are many opportunities."
Guan Huang said casually,
He did not shy away from the idea of investment, in the past two days he has seen a lot of investors and game teams in the entrepreneurial park, it can be said that at this time, the whole market is crazy and irrational, forming a gold rush.
He was still thinking about how to make up a reasonable excuse to visit, only to find that when he arrived here, there was no need at all, investors were like bloodthirsty sharks, everywhere, looking for potential targets.
The Akatsuki team, based on the technical strength of the developers, had been approached by someone to invest before, but the conditions had not been negotiated, so they were shelved.
After Guan Huang took a deep dive, he found that the previous information was wrong.
The current Akatsuki is indeed very dick, but it's not something that hasn't been taken out.
Many members of his team have six or seven years of experience in the game industry, among which Fang Wei has also presided over a number of online operation products and completed the simultaneous development of a large online game (client, WEB).
It can also be regarded as a potential stock.
"I also understand Mr. Guan's intention, but our game has been completed, and the team does not need to invest for the time being, I'm afraid you will have to run for nothing."
When Guan Huang heard this, he was very disappointed in his heart, what he had planned for so long had failed, and he was really unwilling to watch hundreds of millions of yuan slip away from his hand.
didn't show it at all, and said with a smile, "That seems to be fateless, I wonder if Ah Peng can recommend a few other companies?" ”
He Peng frowned slightly, and said with a smile, "You are making me an enemy." ”
"I grew up reading the story of the Three Kingdoms, and I liked the heroism, strategists, generals, and war battles in it, and I had the idea of gamification very early, so when I heard that someone was doing the Three Kingdoms card game, I couldn't wait to catch up."
When He Peng heard this, he was a little moved, "Our newly developed "Three Kingdoms Power Enhancement Edition" is such a game, reproducing the classic Three Kingdoms Campaign, recruiting famous beauties, and allowing players to get enough of the addiction of the Three Kingdoms Overlord. ”
"Definitely, has it already been done? If you don't sign an agent, when will it be online? ”
Feeling the urgency of the other party, He Peng smiled, "I'm doing the final test, and then contact the agent, if it's fast, it can be launched in August and September, and if it's slow, it's going to be November and December." ”
Guan Huang pretended to be disappointed, "How long will it take?" ”
"There is no way, there are many products waiting to be launched on the market now, not to mention queuing up one by one, and they also have to go through complicated procedures."
"It's a pity", Guan Huang shook his head, and then asked:
"This game is complete, are you going to develop a new game or continue to dig deeper into this game?"
Developing a game is a bit like gambling, no one knows which one will be popular in the market, and if it is not a huge investment, exquisite graphics, and interesting gameplay, it will definitely succeed, and luck accounts for a large part.
He Peng sighed secretly, the other party believed in himself, and asked what to do next?
He himself didn't know what to do next?
The gaming industry is quite like the film industry. Some small teams with unknown names can also make low-cost masterpieces and become famous in one fell swoop, but it is difficult to guarantee that the next step will be on the right point and continue to produce good products.
If "Three Kingdoms Power Enhancement Edition" can be successful, he has two options. The first is to fully devote itself to "Enhanced Edition" and release a series of sequels; The second is a multi-front strategy, developing more games to increase the chance of success.
It can get rich overnight, or it can be fleeting like fireworks.
But these are all things in the future, and they have little to do with Akatsuki.
At present, they are still working hard to see if they can succeed.
"We haven't thought that far ahead, and doing a good job of "Enhanced Edition" is the main goal right now."
When Guan Huang heard this, he hesitated, "Then you haven't thought about what to do if you fail?" ”
"Uh......"
Seeing his performance, Guan Huang was reassured, "There are successes and failures in game development, I think the most important thing for you at the moment is not to do a good job in "Enhanced Edition", but to prepare a way out for yourself. ”
When these words came to He Peng's heart, why didn't he want to do this, but it was difficult to find a way out, and he needed real money to build.
Guan Huang continued, "As the head of the studio, the more you get to this time, the more sober you are, the safety of the company, you are responsible for half of it, and others can fantasize about the success of the game, how about it, you have to think about the game failure, what to do." ”
He Peng smiled bitterly, "It seems that financing is imperative?" ”
"The person in charge of the company must not have a gambling mentality, rather earn a little less, but also maintain sufficient cash flow, to know that entrepreneurship is a long-term work, all companies that get rich overnight, and few can withstand the test of the market, its rise is also vigorous, and its death is also sudden."
He Peng was almost persuaded by the other party, every gamer has a kind of fear, and he is no exception.
This fear is rooted in the fate of the gamer. When they are at their brightest, they are thinking about how to bloom next time.
"At this time, we don't have something to prove ourselves, so how can we attract investors?"
Guan Huang held back his joy: "Venture capital, what you invest in is the future, what you invest in is your team, you don't need to do more, just show the best side, the rest is a small problem." ”
"A company is like its own child, and selling it is almost like a knife."
"It's wrong, it's not to sell it, it's to recognize another relative for it, you should be happy, and one more person likes it."
"I wonder if Mr. Guan can accept a simple financial investment and not interfere in specific operations?"
Guan Huang smiled, speaking of this, the meaning of both parties is already obvious, He Peng is willing to accept investment, but the bottom line is that he cannot interfere in specific operation and management.
The other party did not say about the valuation and financing amount, but was the first to talk about management issues, which can be seen what he values more in his heart.
"Don't worry, I'm only interested in playing games, I don't have any interest in managing people and companies, if I can cooperate this time, I can only make financial investments, and I can even entrust you with voting rights without interfering in any business activities."
