"You've been a little weird lately."

After the start of school, another half a month passed.

Yu Youjia and Xu Niannian were in the office, eating the takeout they had just ordered.

Qunxing only rented three floors of the Sino-Ocean International Building as an office, and did not have its own canteen.

In the previous lunch, the administrative department had always contacted nearby restaurants to customize the set menu, and then asked the store to deliver it.

The advantage of this is that it is cheap, and the disadvantages are also obvious, and the dishes go back and forth to those few.

Although the contents of the course are different every day, after eating for a long time, I get tired of eating the same restaurant.

However, since a few days ago, the company officially moved to the 15th floor of the Ocean International Building, and launched a publicity and promotion with this office building as one of the base points.

Qunxing canceled the lunch mode of fixed set menus, and instead issued a 20 yuan takeaway voucher to each employee.

This coupon cannot be exchanged for cash, and the date of use is only on the same day, and it will be issued to employees at regular intervals every day, and takeaway within 20 yuan can be ordered.

This is also a small benefit of the company, and in the case of providing free lunch, employees can choose what they want to eat.

Xu Niannian didn't have anything to eat, but after Yu Youjia ordered a portion of fried rice noodles, he followed suit and ordered the same.

The two of them sat facing each other in the office, Yu Youjia was eating rice noodles, and coldly brought her the above sentence.

Xu Niannian paused in eating rice noodles, then chewed it as usual, raised his eyes to look at Yu Youjia, noticed her suspicious eyes, and looked away again.

"Is there one? What's weird? Xu Niannian's tone was as usual, and then he said, "I think you have too many projects to keep an eye on, and you're tired, right?" I'm hallucinating. ”

"Maybe." Yu Youjia didn't get too entangled, just shook her head, "I just think you've changed a little, but I can't say it." ”

"That's definitely because I'm working harder."

"Come on." Yu Youjia glanced at her, "I'm in charge of many projects, okay." ”

"And I have to thank you?" Xu Nianqing laughed twice, and then asked, "However, you really don't plan to go to graduate school?" Your grades can actually be guaranteed for research, right? ”

"There's no need." Yu Youjia shook her head and said, "Zhou Jing and I have met our parents, and we originally planned to get married after graduation." ”

"Holy!" Xu Niannian, who was still in a bit dull mood, was shocked when he heard the news, "Are you really playing?" ”

Yu Youjia: "...... Do you think I was just playing with a relationship before? ”

"Ahem...... Ahem...... "Xu Niannian scratched his head a little embarrassed, "It just feels so fast, do you get married as soon as you graduate?" But getting married doesn't stop you from going to graduate school. ”

"I'm married, and it's not bad to work here now, why are you going to graduate school." Yu Youjia shook her head, and then smiled, "Isn't it okay to enjoy life?" ”

"I'm so envious......" Xu Niannian lowered his head and ate a large mouthful of rice noodles, and said in his mouth.

When she said this, Yu Youjia reacted a little: "I want to ask you, why do you suddenly have to take the postgraduate entrance examination?" ”

"Isn't it normal to go to graduate school?" Xu Niannian was a little weak-hearted, eating rice noodles with his head down, and didn't dare to look directly at Yu Youjia.

"It's normal for others, but it's not normal for you." Yu Youjia said very bluntly, "After all, Xu Xing is your brother, his current value, and you are the art director of the company, to be honest, a master's degree is not of much significance." ”

"Maybe......" Xu Niannian said this, and then managed to open the topic.

But in fact, only she knows what she thinks in her heart.

……

In the afternoon, in the conference room on the 11th floor of Qunxing.

The founders of Mihuyou, Cai Haoyu and Liu Wei, appeared in the conference room inside the beep station.

In addition, participating in this small meeting were Chen Rui, the current head of the beep station, Wang Tuo, who is in charge of platform technology internally, and Ma Weiwei, who is in charge of operations.

In addition, Liao Qinyu of Weixin and Cao Zhi, who is responsible for the interoperability and maintenance of accounts on various platforms.

Yao Yuanyuan, as the chief financial officer and the general manager of Qunxing Investment in Shanghai, was also involved.

Of course, this must also be indispensable to the presence of Xu Xing, the boss.

The theme of this meeting is very simple, that is, a new round of financing intentions for Mihuyou.

Since the release and upload of "Honkai Campus" at the end of last year, Mihuyou's team has been a little depressed.

"Honkai Campus", which appeared on the stage with the first buyout mobile game in the Weixin Game Center, can be said to be quite bad.

Of course, this bad doesn't mean a loss, but compared with the money earned by other free mobile games in the Weixin Game Center, the income that Mihuyou can get in his hands is really a drop in the bucket.

Prior to this, in order to make the mobile game "Honkai Campus", Mihuyou's research and development cost was hundreds of thousands, plus the cost of publicity and distribution after the game was launched and the cost of later version update and maintenance.

After all, Qunxing Company is essentially just an investor in Mi Huyou, not its own father, and it is already a great benefit to give a place in the center of the game.

It is impossible for Qunxing to pay for other publicity and distribution costs.

Including the advertisements played by Mi Huyou in the Weixin Game Center, they are all brothers who settle accounts and want to collect money.

Coupled with the fifty-fifty share of the channel fee, after paying the monthly salary of the personnel and deducting the tax, the remaining money is really not much.

The goal of Mihuyou's current game is actually very simple, that is, to find a way to survive first.

And the only way to survive is to have a game that can sell well.

Now "Honkai Campus" is definitely unable to take on this important task, so Cai Haoyu and others can only pin their hopes on the next new game.

But if you want to make the next game, who can guarantee that it will be absolutely successful.

In such a situation, after many internal debates, Mihuyou made a decision - to reset the Honkai campus, and on the basis of the Honkai campus, optimize and improve "Honkai Campus 2".

To put it bluntly, after "Honkai Campus" stepped on all the pits in front of him, Mi Huyou took this wrong question book, did the problem again, and gave a better solution idea.

This is indeed a more reliable method.

After all, "Honkai Campus" is not unprofitable, but it is only because the buyout system is not very popular in China, and Tianshu Game Zhuyu is in front, which leads to poor sales.

The quality of "Honkai Campus" itself is still quite attractive to two-dimensional users.

At least on the beep station, there are quite a few players who are attracted to play this mobile game.

So far, the number of millions of users of the beeping station and the effective number of people who have attracted traffic to "Honkai Campus" are about the same as the number of effective players provided by tens of millions of nearly 100 million traffic on WeChat.

It can be seen how good the drainage effect of the beep station is on the two-dimensional mobile game.

And that's one of the reasons why everyone is gathered in the conference room of the beep station today.

"We've talked about it before." Xu Xing looked at Cai Haoyu and Liu Wei, "I also know your temper, but after getting along for more than half a year, you should also know more about me." ”

"Of course." Liu Wei nodded, "We all see Mr. Xu's sincerity, and we are also very grateful to Weixin and Beep Station for their help in promotion." ”

"You've seen the situation now." Xu Xing smiled helplessly, "I won't say anything afterthought, after all, I did recommend you to take the free path before, but let's look forward now." ”

When Xu Xing said this, Liu Wei was a little embarrassed and laughed twice, and Cai Haoyu, who had not spoken, had a little embarrassed eyes.

Fortunately, Xu Xing didn't hold on to this, and continued: "Although the share of the buyout system of "Honkai Campus" is not very large, but looking at the feedback from players, in fact, the quality of your game is still passable. ”

"So I also support your decision to develop Honkai Impact II next."

"It's just that judging by the current trend, I'm afraid you may not be able to make it to the next game."

If it's a new game, Mi Fox will definitely be completely too late.

Because of the buyout system, the game has the most sales in the first few months, and the further it goes, the sales will go all the way down, and only a few real hits can buck the trend.

"Honkai Campus" is clearly not among them.

If the money earned in the past few months can still ensure that Mi Huyou breaks even and has a certain balance.

Then in the next few months, Mihuyou may enter a hard time again.

In fact, Mi Hu survived successfully when he was in the last life.

But Cai Haoyu and Liu Wei in this life don't know if they can survive it smoothly, and they don't know if it is really possible for Honkai II to be reborn.

In the last life, they had no choice, so they either gave up directly or no one else invested, so they could only do it head-on.

But in this life, they have one more choice.

Xu Xing is indeed a very special existence for Mi Huyou.

helped in the most critical moment, but in the middle of the way, they bought the shares of the founder they thought had run away, causing Xu Xing's stake to approach one-third at one point.

But then the stars company grew up like a rocket, and now, only half a year has passed, and Mi Huyou, a little ant, is no longer able to match.

Even Cai Haoyu and Liu Wei didn't react a little, as if in the blink of an eye, Mr. Xu's stars were already hanging high in the sky, shining.

In such a situation, Mr. Xu can still find time to understand and participate in the follow-up planning of Mihuyou, which has already made Cai Haoyu and Liu Wei a little flattered.

"If we can, of course, we also welcome Mr. Xu to continue to support Mihuyou." Cai Haoyu pondered for a long time, and finally replaced Liu Wei, and took the initiative to ask, "However, we still want to learn more about the specific way." ”

"Of course, that's what we're here to talk about today." Xu Xing laughed, then looked at Yao Yuanyuan, raised his chin and said, "Let Director Yao share it with you." ”

"Well, no problem."

Yao Yuanyuan looked businesslike, sat next to Xu Xing, opened the folder in his hand, and then said, "We have given a few financing methods here." ”

"First, Qunxing Investment can give another 5 million to finance 20% of Mihuyou's shares."

As soon as these words came out, Cai Haoyu and Liu Wei's faces changed.

Because once another 20% of the shares are handed over this time, Xu Xing will have more than 50% of the shares in his hands.

Although the founding team of Mihuyou still retains more than one-third of the shares, it is able to maintain the right of veto.

But in the face of such a form, it is actually no different from Mi Huyou being semi-annexed.

To be honest, joining Qunxing now may be a very good choice.

Cai Haoyu and Liu Wei also considered this matter.

After all, this time is different from the past, and the development of Qunxing Company to the present, the rise of micro-news has an unstoppable trend.

From the launch of Weixin 2.0 in February, more than a month has passed, and the number of Weixin user registrations has risen to more than 90 million.

It is already far away from breaking the 100 million mark.

Coupled with the fact that the two-dimensional base camp of the beep station was pinched in the hands of the star company, it was impossible to say that Cai Haoyu and Liu Wei were not greedy.

It's just that these few of them, rather than making money, care more about whether they can control the leading power of the studio.

Especially the initiative to make the ideal game in your own mind.

"The second way, by the beep station, through the way of share exchange, and Mi Hu You exchange each other's equity, the exchange ratio is tentatively set at one to three, with 6% of the shares of the beep station, in exchange for 18% of the shares of Mi Hu You."

In this second way, it is impossible to say who suffers more.

In later generations, the market value of Beep Station was not only on the NASDAQ of the United States, but later applied for listing on the Hong Kong stock market, which is equivalent to the dual listing of the two stock markets, and it has been in the loss stage, and there is no sign of profit.

And Mi Huyou is also a wonder, by 2022, the equity structure is still clean, except for the 10% given by the early angel investment, the rest of the shares are always firmly in the hands of the three founders.

If Mi Fox You really wants to be listed, with the phenomenal mobile game of Genshin Impact, the market value will also reach a very terrifying point.

But the key problem is that Mihuyou is very rich, and it is not short of money to spend like Beep Station, and there is no need to go public at all.

This makes it difficult to judge the value of the two companies.

However, in this case, Mihuyou is far from rising, and Beep Station is already the first two-dimensional website in China.

If it weren't for Xu Xing's optimism about Mihuyou, and the beep station is indeed still exploring a profit model, and mobile games are a good entry point, Chen Rui probably wouldn't agree to such a share swap.

After Cai Haoyu listened to the second way, he saw Director Yao stop talking, and after he was silent for a moment, he couldn't help asking, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Of course, there is a third one." Yao Yuanyuan smiled slightly, and then continued, "The third way is relatively complicated. ”

"A new company will be established jointly funded by Weixi, Beep Station and Mihuyou, which will be used exclusively for the promotion and operation of Mihuyou's games, as well as the copyright operation of subsequent peripheral and film and television animation adaptations."

"Weixin and Beep Station pay money out of channels and own 80% of the shares, and Mihuyou has 20% of the shares with technology, employees and game-related copyrights."

This means that Mihuyou only needs to focus on game development and production in the future, and the rest of the publicity and promotion, later operation and maintenance, and copyright development can be handed over to this new company formed after the joint venture.
