Chapter Twenty-Eight: Visit miHoYo!

Xiong Xiaoge's suggestion is feasible, and the shares of Station B cannot be moved for the time being, after all, the investment in miHoYo has not yet been completed.

After Mr. Xiong's matchmaking, the two banks led by Deutsche Bank finally pledged 5.5% of the Himalaya shares held by Slope Capital.

According to market evaluation, according to the latest Himalayan valuation, this part of the shares is worth about 50 million, and finally Deutsche Bank made a 25 million share pledge loan to Slope Capital, with interest first and principal later, with an annual interest rate of 5.2%, and a one-time repayment of the principal after one year.

With this fund, on January 13, Zheng Wentong took his secretary Xu Ru to miHoYo Network Technology (Puhai) Co., Ltd.

This company is located in Yinxiang Road, JD District, and the reason why it did not bring financial manager Yao Yutong was that it did not want to arouse the vigilance of the three founders of miHoYo, who were more wary of foreign investors and had rejected Penguin's financial investment proposal.

Xu Ru and Zheng Wentong are dressed more casually today, and neither of them is wearing formal clothes, which is also specially requested by Zheng Wentong.

Xu Ru is wearing a beige half-length knitted skirt today, with a high waist and slim body to show thin and long legs, a V-neck with a decorative pearl buckle, delicate and elegant, and a bright red lipstick on her mouth, which looks mysterious and sexy.

Zheng Wentong didn't drive a Mercedes-Benz over today, but drove a Paramela to take Xu Ru to Jiading. The car was relatively warm, Xu Ru didn't put on a thick coat, and when she sat in the co-pilot, Mr. Zheng couldn't help but praise Xu Ru's outfit today for being very charming.

"Don't say it, since you joined the company, the little girls in the company have followed you to learn how to dress, and I feel that the overall appearance of the company has improved a lot."

Xu Ru smiled, "After all, I'm about to turn thirty, and I can't compare with these little girls in the company, so I can only spend a lot of effort on dressing." When I went out, my husband was very surprised and almost thought I was going on a date, but Mr. Zheng, you are dressed very sportily today, these shoes are quite expensive, right? ”

Zheng Wentong is wearing a FILA red sweatshirt today, with black pants and a pair of North Carolina blue AJ6, which looks fashionable and sunny.

"Really? I don't know very well, I went to Hangzhou a few days ago, and my girlfriend bought it for me. Zheng Wentong didn't pay attention.

"Oops, it turns out that it has been turned positive, congratulations! No wonder the spring breeze was full of spring during this time, and it turned out to be moistened by love. When your girlfriend came back to the company, we had a very good impression of her, very polite and well-behaved. Xu Ru praised Mr. Zheng's girlfriend.

"Don't, I saw you and your husband on the river beach on Chinese New Year's Eve, that is called a tall and handsome, married for so many years, and the relationship is so honey and oily, envious of others."

Xu Ru sighed, "Every family has its own troubles, I started making car models in college, and married my husband after graduation, because I want to live a few years in a two-person world, so I want to have children later." ”

As a result, my parents-in-law, parents-in-law, and parents kept urging, but in the end, I couldn't fight, and I had Jiajia. As a result, after you become a housewife, the family is actually used to you not going to work, and I really don't want to be out of touch with society, so I resolutely come out to work. ”

"My in-laws and my husband are actually not very supportive, but my parents persuaded me to come out and try, and the company also gave me a good opportunity, and I also learned a lot of knowledge by Mr. Zheng's side." Xu Ru revealed a little bit of family troubles.

"If being a stay-at-home mom makes you happy and fulfilled, then it's good to have peace of mind and do the logistics."

"But if you want to have an independent financial source and achieve success in your career, then it's not bad to come out and work, the key is your choice, you have to know what you want." Zheng Wentong concluded.

"Indeed, my husband is an executive of a state-owned venture capital fund, so he socializes a lot at work, and after drinking, they have to go to the night club to act, if you are at home, you have to serve him, and you have to sulk, but when you have an independent job, this kind of trivial matter is not taken to heart, Mr. Zheng, do you really never drink?" Xu Ru was curious.

"For now, yes. Because of a lot of relationships, it is also entrusted to others, when socializing face-to-face, everyone's identity is about the same, and it is understandable not to drink, and it is much better to earn money with others than to drink a few glasses of wine this year. ”

"Why do Chinese people drink? Because they want to talk about the status of a person, the person with a high status forces the person with a low status to drink, and this kind of dominating power makes them very happy. If you don't drink, you won't give me face, if you don't drink, do you still want to talk about this business? ”

"The northerners are more important in their official-oriented thinking, and the three eastern provinces, Yanjing, Lu Province, and Hebei Province are more popular, and they often have to find a relationship first, and they have a hard relationship with whom, and they have a wider path than whom.

"If you mention that you know someone at the wine party in the north, they will immediately come to the heart, I know this person, that's my buddy, no, I have to call him over, everyone is a friend. The relationship is good, it's really coming. In case you don't come, I'm sorry, this guy has something, I'll do it another day, let's make another appointment. ”

"The Yangtze River Delta is different from the Pearl River Delta, the market economy, I do business with you because you can take me to make money, not that you can drink, they like to drink tea, self-cultivation, and talk about things at the tea table, not at the wine bureau. Northerners are bold and Southerners are shrewd, but I still like to do business with Southerners, which is why the economy of the North is not as good as that of the South. Zheng Wentong summed it up.

When I arrived at miHoYo, the company's three founders, Cai Haoyu, Luo Yuhao, and Liu Wei, were all in the company. They are also wearing casual clothes, and the entire company's employees are also dressed more casually, Zheng Wentong thought to himself that this dress was right.

Zheng Wentong shook hands with the three game bosses one by one, "Hello, hello, look up for a long time." Cai Haoyu teased Zheng Wentong, "Mr. Zheng, this is the first time I have met an investor like you with perseverance." "Since August 14, Slope Investment has been contacting miHoYo almost every half a month to ask for a meeting with the founding team, but it has been refused.

"No way, after taking a stake in Station B, I think there are a lot of commonalities between miHoYo and Station B."

"Seeing the three, I now believe that tech nerds can really change the world." Cai Haoyu and the three of them are alumni of Puhai Jiaotong University, who started their own business when they were in college, and the mini games they developed were logged on to the App Store, and were recommended by the United States and RB.

Cai Haoyu's first impression of Zheng Wentong was very good, although the two of them had communicated several times on WeChat, but this face-to-face communication was more important.

Five people came to the conference room to sit down, miHoYo's conference room is also very distinctive, a round table coffee table, and then scattered with a few sofas, the atmosphere of conversation is suddenly more relaxed.

Xu Ru knew that she was mainly responsible for the minutes of the meeting today, as well as helping Mr. Zheng to check and fill in the gaps, as well as easing the atmosphere, and pointing out that it was inconvenient for Mr. Zheng to say that this work was not easy.

"I noticed that your company has been developing otaku games, a game is successful, and you will immediately start developing new games, every game in your company, I have played all of them, and I also enjoy the happiness brought by the game, I believe that I also have an otaku heart, and my assistant Xu Ru can testify." Zheng Wentong started a light-hearted topic first.

Liu Wei took over the topic, "There is a saying in the industry that Zheng has invested in a company, and he must first become a loyal user of this company, and only when he recognizes the value of the company will he be willing to invest in him, both Station B and Himalaya." ”

Xu Ru nodded, "Mr. Zheng not only plays "Honkai Impact II", but also contacts miHoYo's customer service for the setting and planning of the game, but your company's customer service is very slow to reply to messages. ”

Luo Yuhao snorted, "Really? Mr. Zheng will leave your game ID later, and we can send some equipment as compensation at that time. ”

Zheng Wentong knows in his heart that miHoYo's attitude towards players has always been very arrogant, and this arrogance comes from their technical ability to lead their peers, and their masterpieces and games can be coquettish for a while.

This kind of arrogance can always wake up game producers to keep their eyes on the market and continue to develop more refined games.

miHoYo always reminds game companies like Penguin and Wangyi that even if they have "bad money" in the domestic game market, they must use carefully crafted products, not garbage games produced by assembly lines.

Among them, the outer service rabbit of "Honkai Impact 3". The girl incident and the "Zhongli Incident" of "Genshin Impact" vividly reflect miHoYo's arrogance.

In fact, this kind of arrogance will also attract backlash from players, such as PDD playing "Against the Cold", due to the insincere apology of the official Wangyi, which angered PDD, and as a result, in the live broadcast, the game was destroyed and recharged tens of millions of game accounts in public in front of water friends, so this game was completely cool.

Cai Haoyu: Their thinking is very simple, you players enjoy the joy of making our games, what meaningful suggestions can you make? It's also an elitist-thinking arrogance, like right. The nobility despised the common people as much as they were.

"In fact, the group audiences of miHoYo and Bilibili are very close, and both of your users like ACG culture very much."

"When players are playing, they actually enjoy interacting with other players. Regarding the cooperation between miHoYo and Bilibili, I have a few ideas, you can refer to them. ”

"For example, let the well-known game UP main broadcast play "Honkai Impact 2", the official live broadcast room to discuss the direction and operation of the game, and the barrage culture of station B can also increase the interaction between the two sides. Of course, miHoYo can also set up some official lottery activities to increase the popularity of the game. ”

"I've seen your revenue in 14 years, and your revenue has exceeded 100 million, which is a remarkable number. However, I think you should hand over the game to the agent of Station B, the two are deeply bound, and with the help of Station B, "Honkai Impact 2" can help you gather a group of ACG fans. According to my estimates, the revenue of "Honkai Impact 2" can exceed 300 million in 15 years, and if by the end of 16, the total revenue of the entire game project is expected to exceed 1 billion. ”

Cai Haoyu also has enough thinking about this aspect, it is precisely because he saw the cross-border cooperation between Slope Capital and Station B, the video of "Puhai Lujiazui New Year's Eve Fireworks Show" on the official website of Station B is still very popular, and many users who have not seen fireworks on the spot will also pour into the video, and then leave messages below.
