Chapter 280: Foraging for Food in the Dead of Night
Three options, three options.
It seems to be quite flexible, but in fact, the meaning behind it is obvious, that is, to let Mi Huyou completely fall into the camp under the command of Qunxing Company.
The first way is the most direct, Qunxing Investment directly invested another 5 million to finance 20% of the shares of Mihuyou, and Qunxing Company completely became the major shareholder of Mihuyou.
The second way is to be tactful, and the beep station will come forward and exchange shares with Mihuyou, but in fact, once 18% of Mihuyou's shares are exchanged, Cai Haoyu's founder team will also have less than half of the equity left.
Although the other more than half of the equity belongs to Qunxing Company and Beep, more than two-thirds of the equity of Beep Station is in the hands of Qunxing Company, which is a disguised control of Mihuyou.
Cai Haoyu and Liu Wei are not fools, of course they can see what Xu Xing and others mean.
Even if it is the third way, although it does not control Mihuyou itself, but set up a company that is fully controlled by Qunxing to take over the games and derivative copyrights produced by Mihuyou, for a game company like Mihuyou, it is not much different from the above two situations.
It's just that the internal control of Mihuyou is quite secure, and the new company after the joint venture can only meddle in the operation and development of old games, and cannot determine the theme and direction of Mihuyou's development of new games.
There is an old saying that if you want to open a window, you should say open it before you want it, and then say it after you are rejected, which is much easier to accept.
After facing the first two more direct and crude methods, seeing the third plan, Cai Haoyu and Liu Wei's attitudes have obviously relaxed.
"No matter which one you choose, the follow-up WeChat message and beep station will form a closer cooperation and support relationship with Mihuyou." Xu Xing sat at the head of the table in the conference room, clasped his hands in front of him, and hit the railway while it was hot, "Don't be in a hurry to make a choice first, you can let them all talk about the detailed measures." ”
"It's relatively simple on our side, and it's all a unified way to help the company's various businesses." Liao Qinyu took over the topic and stated simply, "If you have paid attention to the takeaway, you should feel a little bit." ”
"At present, our team is doing big data research with Hot News, and we have been able to preliminarily label and classify WeChat users."
"For example, groups that are usually likely to order takeout are more likely to be pushed advertisements for takeout when watching the news."
"And the game is the same, as long as it can be classified according to the news content that users usually browse, it can be as accurate as possible to target users who prefer two-dimensional and game content."
"For a game like your previous "Honkai Campus", if it can appear in the eyes of users of the two-dimensional and mobile game audience in this way of accurate push, the effect of publicity and promotion will definitely be the most effective."
"In addition, you should be familiar with the regular recommendation channels, including the various recommendation slots and lists that come with the game center itself, etc., once we reach a more in-depth partnership, these will be completely open to you to apply for permission."
After saying this, Liao Qinyu stopped and looked at Chen Rui on the other side.
"Compared with WeChat, the number of users of our beep station is definitely not at the same level, but if you want to say that the fit with Mihuyou, it must be very high."
"I've also heard of Cai Haoyu's name, with the technical level of your team, it is definitely not difficult to make an excellent two-dimensional mobile game."
"And it just so happens that our beep station is the most extensive gathering place for the two-dimensional audience, and in China, we call it second, and no one dares to call it first."
Since the merger of Love Station and Beep Station, basically no one can deny this.
And because of this, the development of the beep station in this life is far smoother than that of the previous life.
"When I pushed "Honkai Campus" before, you should also be able to see that the effect is actually not bad."
"It's just that the buyout method is obviously not suitable for the current domestic environment."
"Especially at present, the beep station itself is using free as a gimmick to attract new user groups, and the willingness to pay online is not high."
"If your next game is free with in-app purchases, I think there's a good chance."
"Moreover, at present, we have just reached a cooperation with "Million King Arthur" on the Sakura Country side, and we are responsible for acting as an agent for the game operation on the mainland side."
"You're just making two-dimensional mobile games, so you shouldn't be a stranger."
Talking about "Million King Arthur", Cai Haoyu and Liu Wei were obviously in high spirits and had long been in contact with this game.
Although "Million King Arthur" has not yet landed in the domestic mobile game market, it has been released in Sakura Country in 2012.
With its extremely luxurious production lineup, and a fairly high level of game quality, coupled with the kryptonite method of card drawing, the root of all evil, it has set off a boom in the Sakura country.
As absolute fans of two-dimensional mobile games, although "Million King Arthur" has not yet landed in China, Cai Haoyu and Liu Wei have obviously played the Sakura costume version.
It's just that they never expected that the mainland agency copyright of "Million King Arthur" would be negotiated by Beep.
But after thinking about it, as the largest two-dimensional website in China today, it is very suitable to get this agency copyright.
"I don't mean anything else by telling you, but I'm just going to explain it to you." Chen Rui said with a smile, "The future strategy of Beep Station, the two-dimensional mobile game is definitely an important development direction. ”
"Although it is also a good choice to act as an agent for the local ACG mobile game in Sakura Country, it is obviously a better choice if you can cultivate and support the domestic ACG mobile game."
"This is also the reason why I found Mr. Xu this time and wanted to participate in the investment in Mihuyou."
"At present, there are very few manufacturers in China that produce two-dimensional mobile games, except for Mihuyou, there are basically none, most of them are small workshops."
"And we built our own team for development, and we couldn't find the right person for the time being."
"Your Mihu tour is obviously a very good choice."
In fact, it's only 2013, and the two-dimensional mobile game companies that can be named in the future basically have to be established in 14 or 15 years, or even 17 or 18 years.
As far as China is concerned, Mihuyou can be said to be a veteran company in the field of two-dimensional mobile games.
To say that at the beginning, Chen Rui actually didn't think about making a profit at all, or that profit is not the highest priority for Beep Station at present.
Just like the consistent thinking of Internet companies, Chen Rui's idea is very simple, that is, to occupy users in the two-dimensional field as quickly as possible, and completely seize this market as soon as possible.
If you grab a user, you will have traffic, and with your own traffic pool, you will naturally be able to think of a suitable way to make money in the future.
Looking at all the major Internet companies in China, all of them have come all the way from a state of loss.
For Chen Rui, if Beep Station wants to develop, it only needs to make achievements, continuously expand users, and complete follow-up financing.
As for profits, all he could think of before was free to pay, or VIP system, etc.
But after Xu Xing's reminder, Chen Rui thought of the game.
Especially two-dimensional mobile games.
It's just that Chen Rui is not sure whether the two-dimensional mobile game can become one of the profit points of the beep station in the future.
Fortunately, now that Xu Xing is behind him, Chen Rui's confidence is much more sufficient.
After all, Qunxing started from Tianshu Games, although it is not a two-dimensional game, but it has also invested in a two-dimensional game company like Mihuyou.
With a website with a two-dimensional concentration explosion like the beep station, it may really be able to produce a strong chemical reaction.
"If we can really reach a partnership, you can also see the promotion effect of "Honkai Campus" on Beep, and with the development of Beep Station in the future, this effect will only get stronger and stronger."
Chen Rui concluded, "This is a win-win cooperation path, Mihuyou has obtained funding, and maintains its own autonomy in making games. ”
"Beep Station has gained a new profit point, can develop more smoothly, and further enhance the feedback of ACG mobile games by cultivating and absorbing more new ACG users."
"It's a very positive business cycle."
Hearing this, Cai Haoyu and Liu Wei fell silent.
After a long time, Cai Haoyu raised his head again to look at Xu Xing, and then said: "Mr. Xu, about the third plan, I hope to talk about it in more depth. ”
……
At this point, it is impossible for Mi Huyou to switch to the embrace of others.
In fact, for now, except for the star company, there is no other company that looks up to Mihuyou.
Mi Huyou is not a WeChat message, and it is impossible to be coaxed by Tengxin and Ali as a baby.
It's nice not to be disliked.
After more than a week of negotiations, Cai Haoyu finally accepted the third way of cooperation.
Led by Qunxing, a joint venture was established by WeChat, Beep and Mihuyou.
The company itself is still dominated and operated by Mihuyou, but the majority of the equity is still in the hands of Qunxing, and a shareholding agreement has been signed with Mihuyou.
Because Mihuyou itself has no money and can only contribute resources, the agreement clearly stipulates that all games produced by Mihuyou in the future will be operated by this joint venture company, which is equivalent to handing over all future game copyrights to the new company.
Although Qunxing Company does not have a direct controlling relationship with Mihuyou, the difference between holding the game copyright in its hands is not big.
"It's finally done."
After getting off work in the evening, Yan Chi Vinegar drove Xu Xing to the nearby fresh supermarket and bought some fresh vegetables and meat, "Let's eat hot pot today, right?" Celebrate. ”
"Well, listen to you." Xu Xing pushed a small cart and followed behind Yan Chi Vinegar, and when he passed by the shelf, he saw her walking backwards facing her, and her head almost hit the sharp corner exposed on the shelf, so he hurriedly raised his hand to stabilize her head, "Be careful when walking." ”
"Oh." Yan Chi Vinegar noticed his sloppiness, quickly turned around and adjusted the direction, and stuffed all the things he had just held into the small cart, "Let's buy more?" Later, I will call Sister Nian with me. ”
"Huh?" Xu Xing was stunned for a moment, then nodded hesitantly, "Hmm...... Okay, too. ”
Thinking so, the two bought their things and drove home.
After arriving at home, he prepared a hot pot, Xu Niannian also happened to get off work, opened the door and walked into the house to change shoes, and smelled a burst of fragrance.
"Sister Nian Nian, let's eat hot pot today, right?" Yan Chi vinegar happened to be put on an apron by Xu Xing's own hands, and when he heard the voice at the door, a sweet smile appeared on his face, "There is your favorite tripe." ”
"Well......" Xu Niannian saw the scene in front of him, immediately shook his head subconsciously, changed into slippers and walked towards his bedroom, "I won't eat it, I've already eaten dinner, you can eat, I still have to review the content of the graduate school entrance examination." ”
"Alright then......"
In the kitchen, Xu Xing heard the conversation between the two women, turned around and glanced at Xu Niannian, who had just returned home.
As a result, Xu Niannian also happened to cross Yan Chi Vinegar's shoulder and looked at Xu Xing in the kitchen.
The two of them looked at each other, and they separated as if they were electrocuted, avoiding each other's gaze very weakly.
Yan Chi Vinegar, who was sandwiched in the middle, didn't feel anything unusual at all, and didn't think much about it after being rejected by Xu Niannian, so he turned around and came back to help Xu Xing prepare the ingredients.
Xu Niannian, who was in the living room, didn't stay for long, and took a deep look at the sweet couple standing side by side in the kitchen, silently walked into his bedroom, closed the door, and then locked it.
Reason told her that she should move out of this place directly after she came back for the Chinese New Year.
It's a paradise for the victors and a hell for the losers.
But whenever she tossed and turned late at night and made up her mind that she must move out tomorrow, she saw Xu Xing brushing her teeth and washing her face in the bathroom early in the morning, so she couldn't help but put aside the idea of moving.
Well...... You're just siblings, what's the matter?
Does moving out make you feel weak?
Moreover...... If you move out, won't you usually be able to see Xu Xing?
Obviously, every time she sees Xu Xing now, she will inevitably see the very sweet small movements and small details between Yan Chi Vinegar and him, like thorns piercing her heart.
But it's like wine, the more you get drunk, the more addicted you become, and you can't extricate yourself.
Whenever this happens, Xu Niannian can only force himself to focus on his studies.
Sitting at the desk and starting to study seriously, preparing for the content of the graduate school entrance examination, Xu Nian rarely returned to calm.
It's just that as time passed, and it was late at night, her stomach rumbled uncontrollably, and she protested.
It's obviously a lie told by the mouth, but in the end, the stomach has to bear the consequences, which is really unfair.
Xu Niannian put down the pen in his hand and looked at the time, it was already more than eleven o'clock in the evening.
She touched her flat, shriveled little belly, got up from her seat, opened the door and walked out.
Yan Chi Vinegar had already returned to the bedroom after taking a shower at this time, and it was estimated that he had fallen asleep.
Xu Niannian walked all the way to the living room, looking at the dining table that had been cleaned up, she walked into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and wanted to see if there was anything else to eat.
But in the next second, a familiar voice came from behind her: "Now you know you're hungry?" ”
