Chapter Twenty-Nine: Finally Joining MiHoYo!

Cai Haoyu put forward his opinion, "I see that Station B has also started to act as an agent for some games, but the effect is not good, I heard that this is also Mr. Zheng's suggestion." Although we may need to cooperate with Bilibili, Bilibili needs us more. ”

Zheng Wentong agrees with Cai Haoyu, "Of course I don't deny this, because I believe that "Honkai Impact 2" can become a hit in the mobile game market this year." However, miHoYo is not the only company in the game market, and our cooperation target is still many game companies. ”

"And after the initial success of Honkai Impact 2, you have already begun to prepare for the development of Honkai Impact 3, and now that 3D games are the mainstream, then using a 3D game engine to draw more and more beautiful original game art, your art director Zhang Qinghua's art team is too busy."

"There's no guarantee that you'll succeed until you make a brand new game, right? So bringing in new collaborators isn't a bad thing. And my side doesn't just want Station B to act as an agent for "Honkai Impact 2", I want to act as an agent for "Honkai Impact 3". In the third quarter of this year, I will establish overseas distribution channels in RB and the United States, first promote "Honkai Impact 2" to overseas markets, and after the distribution channels are stable, I will help "Honkai Impact 3" achieve greater success. ”

"There are more than one billion people in China, and there are more than 800 million smartphone users alone, and for some large companies, launching a mobile game in China can make money, but miHoYo is not such a company. I hope to be able to promote the excellent games developed by Chinese people to foreign countries, and there is no need to compete with these companies at home. ”

Luo Yuhao raised his own questions, "But it takes a lot of money to establish overseas distribution channels, right?" I heard that Slope Capital has pledged the shares of Himalaya to a foreign bank, and your company is currently having some difficulties in turnover. ”

Zheng Wentong scolded his mother in his heart, and sure enough, the capital market couldn't hide the secret, and as soon as the front foot was mortgaged, the back foot was stabbed.

"Mr. Luo doesn't have to worry about this, I also have a Puhai Interconnection Information Technology Co., Ltd. under my name, this company will soon launch a universal WIFI mobile phone software, which is already in internal testing."

"IDG's Mr. Xiong is also very optimistic about the application scenarios of this software, and he is personally willing to exchange 10 million for 20% of the company's shares, but I refused. Mr. Xiong's contact information, I believe you also have it, you can confirm it with him. ”

"Of course, in addition to establishing overseas distribution channels, I think there are two other things that can help your company."

"I used to work in Huafu Group, Huafu Group's 95 customer service work is very professional, I can also assist Mr. Liu, in charge of the company's customer service team, of course, you can also outsource customer service work to me, it doesn't matter."

Liu Wei is responsible for game operations and recruitment in the company, and she is also the "only customer service lady" in the early days of miHoYo.

"If you really join the company and are willing to accept customer service work, I can't ask for it, today's players have a temper, and they have to scold the official at every turn, where do they know what games?"

"In fact, the gamer group of "Honkai Impact 2" is concentrated in the post-85s and post-90s, and this generation is relatively self-conscious, so it is understandable to have a little temper."

"In addition to this, I would like to meet with the development team of your company's "Honkai Impact 3", because you obviously want to build a complete Honkai Impact universe, and I, as a gamer, also have my own thoughts and ideas about "Honkai Impact 3", and I would like to communicate with you face-to-face, if I can play a little role in the development of the game, it will be worthwhile."

Cai Haoyu, Luo Yuhao, and Liu Wei looked at each other and were very puzzled.

Mr. Zheng, you have to say that you are an excellent investor, everyone admits that after all, the examples of station B and Himalaya are in front of you, in just two or three months, more than 50 million investment shares have a market value of more than 100 million.

But if you say you're good at game planning, that's a bit of a stretch. Zheng Wentong knew that Cai Haoyu didn't believe it, "It's okay, you just use me as a gamer to fulfill a wish." ”

Xu Ru shared a joke from her time at station B at this time, "Mr. Cai, Mr. Liu, Mr. Luo, when we Zheng invested in station B, he talked to Mr. Xu Yi of station B about an important reason why he invested in station B, which was very nonsensical. ”

"Mr. Zheng said to Mr. Xu Yi that the reason why he wants to take a stake in Station B is to say when Station B sends a barrage, I am a shareholder of Station B, and I also need official red certification."

Xu Ru's words made Cai Haoyu and the three of them laugh.

"Regardless of whether Slope Capital can successfully cooperate with miHoYo, I hope to be able to communicate my ideas with the development team of "Honkai Impact 3", and Mr. Cai should fulfill the wishes of game fans."

Cai Haoyu met Zheng Wentong's little suggestion, and finally called the main game planner of "Honkai Impact 3", and Cai Haoyu was also responsible for this project. The three of them went to another office and talked face-to-face about their ideas for the game, such as CG drawings of Valkyrie characters.

The bespectacled chief planner very much agrees with Mr. Zheng's idea, and is even more surprised when he hears that Mr. Zheng is not from a game background, and believes that Mr. Zheng is definitely a fan of "Honkai Impact 1" and "Honkai Impact 2", otherwise it would be impossible to put forward so many fruitful and feasible suggestions.

Cai Haoyu was completely surprised at this time, he believed that Mr. Zheng was not untargeted, but also showed him his value from the side, he is not only a genius investor, but also an excellent game planner.

However, this point did not completely impress Cai Haoyu, "If Mr. Zheng can establish a complete overseas distribution channel, we are indeed willing to establish further cooperative relations with your company." "After all, it's easy to talk in vain, in case one is to buy shares, but not to be responsible for overseas issuance, wouldn't it be a prostitute of the company's shares in vain, Cai Haoyu has full confidence in the growth of miHoYo, and the need for funds is not urgent.

"However, if our company is not an investment shareholder of miHoYo, it will be difficult to convince Bilibili to invest more time and financial resources to represent "Honkai Impact 2", which is also a loss for your company."

"Of course, the investment, the sooner you invest, the lower the cost will be, and investing in your company at the end of the year is not the same price as investing now, and the capital is profit-seeking."

"I can sign a supplementary agreement with your company, and I will invest at least 100 million yuan in overseas distribution channel companies for the game distribution of miHoYo's "Honkai Impact 2" and "Honkai Impact 3".

"The time node is before the spring of next year, if I don't invest the corresponding funds, you can buy back the shares I hold at the original price, so that there is no loss to your company. This is equivalent to me signing a VAM agreement with your company. ”

"Of course, my personal appeal is that our company's stake in miHoYo cannot be lower than Song Tao, and at least become the fourth largest shareholder of the company." Zheng Wentong made a rather tempting proposal.

"Mr. Zheng is so sure that he will be able to raise 100 million funds next year?" Cai Haoyu was thrilled by Zheng Wentong's idea.

After Zheng Wentong became a shareholder, Station B will act as an agent for "Honkai Impact 2", Zheng Wentong will definitely spare no effort to promote it, and the drainage effect of Station B will bring about the growth of the number of users of "Honkai Impact 2" and the flow of mobile games.

And if Zheng Wentong's slope capital succeeds in the bet and establishes the overseas distribution channel of miHoYo mobile games, then the overseas success of "Honkai Impact 2" and "Honkai Impact 3" can be predicted in advance, and Cai Haoyu actually wants to establish an overseas distribution channel for the game in the past, but the cost is huge, so he plans to delay it for two years.

If Zheng Wentong's slope capital establishes overseas distribution channels in advance, then miHoYo can use more of the revenue of "Honkai Impact 2" for the research and development of "Honkai Impact 3" and carve out more exquisite and playable games.

Even if Zheng Wentong's bet fails, then the original price to recover the shares invested by Zheng Wentong did not bring any loss to miHoYo.

Accepting the investment of Slope Capital is either a win-win situation for Slope Capital and miHoYo, or a win-win for miHoYo, no matter how you look at it, it is a good deal.

Cai Haoyu stretched out his hand to Zheng Wentong, "Mr. Zheng is definitely a first-class lobbyist, I have been persuaded by you, on behalf of myself, I welcome you to join miHoYo." ”

"However, there is one more thing to add to the agreement, if the overseas distribution channel of Slope Capital's game is successfully established, then Mr. Zheng will transfer 40% of the shares of the overseas distribution company to miHoYo."

Zheng Wentong held Cai Haoyu's hand tightly, "Of course, there is no problem, then I wish the cooperation between Slope Capital and miHoYo a happy one in advance." ”

On January 15, 2015, Slope Capital (Huaxia) Co., Ltd. and miHoYo Network Technology (Puhai) Co., Ltd. signed an investment contract agreement.

Slope Capital invested 19.8 million yuan and held 15% of the shares of miHoYo Network Technology (Puhai) Co., Ltd., and Cai Haoyu, Luo Yuhao, Liu Wei and Song Tao transferred the corresponding shares to Slope Capital in proportion.

There are many complicated clauses in the contract, such as the agreement between the two parties that if one party sells shares before miHoYo goes public, the company can only buy them back according to the market valuation, and cannot sell them to a third-party game company.

Cai Haoyu and they are also worried that after Zheng Wentong buys shares, he will sell them to large companies such as Penguin or Wangyi, which will affect the company's decision-making and development, for example, although Song Tao is the only angel investor before miHoYo, Skye Network under his name is the exclusive agent of "Honkai Impact 1" on the IOS platform.

After this financing, Sky Network under the name of Song Tao holds 12.75% of miHoYo Network Technology Co., Ltd., becoming the company's fifth largest shareholder, ranking behind Slope Capital.

Zheng Wentong also promised that Slope Capital would invest at least 100 million yuan by February 7, 2016 to establish overseas distribution channels for miHoYo's games. If the investment target is not completed by the expiration date, Cai Haoyu, Luo Yuhao, Liu Wei and Song Tao will use the original price of 19.8 million to repurchase the shares held by Slope Capital.

After the Spring Festival, Zheng Wentong will also serve as the deputy general manager of miHoYo Network Technology (Puhai) Co., Ltd., and will be fully responsible for the customer service department. MihoYo will prepare a separate office for him.

According to his personal agreement with Cai Haoyu, he also needs to participate in the game development of "Honkai Impact 3" and maintain email communication with the game's main planner. Of course, miHoYo will also pay a reasonable salary to Deputy General Manager Zheng Wentong.

Because miHoYo did not have the idea of bringing in more shareholders, the signing ceremony was not held.

After the 19.8 million yuan of slope capital was successfully remitted to miHoYo's corporate account, financial managers Yao Yutong and Xu Ru could clearly feel Mr. Zheng's excitement.

For the first time, Mr. Zheng hugged Yao Yutong in the general manager's office to celebrate the success of the investment case, which made her very embarrassed.

Xu Ru seemed to be smiling beside her, she had been in the company for so long, and she rarely saw Mr. Zheng so out of shape.

In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Mr. Zheng opened his arms to Xu Ru and hugged Xu Ru equally.

Xu Ru alleviated the embarrassment, "If it weren't for witnessing Mr. Zheng's difficult negotiation process, I almost thought that Zheng always wanted to deliberately rub our oil!" ”

Zheng Wentong thought to himself, 19.8 million can be exchanged for 15% of miHoYo shares, which is simply too cheap. In 2021, miHoYo's Genshin Impact game will have a revenue of 30 billion yuan a year, and the profit alone will exceed 15 billion yuan.

Sky Network under Song Tao's name holds 15% of the shares of miHoYo, and his net worth will exceed 20.2 billion in 2021. In just six years, 20 million has become 20 billion, which is destined to become a classic case that is difficult to surpass in Zheng's total investment career.

"This investment in miHoYo is successful, and we want to make a fortune without publicity. But I take all your credit to heart. ”

"Xu Ru is the first credit this time, Yutong will help me remember it, and I will give out more bonuses next month to have a good year. Yutong and Meng Qian also contributed a lot, and they also need to be rewarded. ”

Zheng Wentong called Jiang Nan, the administrative manager, Chen Lei, the personnel manager, and Yao Yutong, the financial manager, to have a meeting to discuss.

Mr. Zheng means that when the salary is paid on February 5, the year-end bonus of the company's employees will be paid in advance, and there is no need to play the routine of paying it again next year.

After all, the year-end bonus is a reward for this year's hard work, and there is no connection with next year's work, even if they leave after receiving the year-end bonus, they should be paid.

Mr. Zheng finally came up with a plan, all employees of Slope Capital and Puhai Interconnection Information Technology Co., Ltd. will be paid an extra month's salary as a year-end bonus.

Manager level Jiang Nan, Yao Yutong, Chen Lei, Meng Qian, Unit Ping, and Zhang Yi will pay two more months' salary as a year-end bonus.

On the Ji family apartment, Zhou Zhifa, Yang Jianwen, and Zheng Anguo have a year-end bonus of 20,000 yuan, and other ordinary employees have a year-end bonus of 10,000 yuan.

Chen Lei asked a key question, "By the way, does He Handan, the new administrator of Jijia Apartment, want to give bonuses?" Because she has been in the company for less than a month, it stands to reason that she shouldn't have been sent. ”

Zheng Wentong thought about it, "Then the bonus will be halved and 5,000 will be issued, and I will communicate with her in advance." ”

Of course, the year-end bonus is the year-end bonus, and the bonus of miHoYo's investment case still has to be calculated separately. The securities investment department led by Unit Ping is making good profits, and a bonus is also needed here.
