258 Penguin's Money Is Really Fragrant (4000 Words)
Mei Fang has been receiving a variety of financing intentions since it started the C station, including even the rising super e-commerce Ahri Baba.
But the Mei side has no intention of sitting down with several other companies for talks, and only waits for the penguin to send out its invitation to raise funds.
Mei Fang's understanding of the world of capital is very limited, he can only rely on the shallow qualifications of his previous life to determine his intentions, penguins are notoriously rich and have little to do, and he has a better impression of penguins.
Lin Xi Technology's usual person in charge is Mei Yue, although he has done great things with his brother, but after all, he is a part-time capitalist, and his main business is still a high school student, and most of the non-work decisions need to be handled by Mei Yue.
In order to keep this job with a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan, she worked overtime every day to sort out financial reports and process various financial-related information, and in order to prepare relevant materials for financing, she worked in the company for several days in a row.
Obviously, she has been preparing for so long and so hard, but on the day of the financing intention meeting, the three giants of station C were almost late, which made Mei Yue angry enough, and when Mei Fang Xia Yuanlin Youxi arrived, she pulled her little cousin into the office and counted him down.
"Xiao Fangzi, you should know how important today's financing meeting is! I don't even pay much attention to the quotations of other capitals, you bet all your treasures on penguins, and you don't pay attention to them so much, you want me to ...... What do you want me to say? β
"Sorry...... Sister Yueyue, this is not a bad thing, mainly because I lost time in finding suitable clothes. β
Xia Yuan spoke for Mei Fang on the side, and Mei Yue didn't continue to dwell on it, "Okay, okay...... Let's prepare a little, I'll go to the conference room to debug the PPT and related materials, you guys rest first, the penguin people are estimated to be there soon. β
Mei Fang, Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan stayed in their boss's office to rest, Xia Yuan sorted out his appearance in front of the standing mirror on the wall, Mei Fang poured two glasses of water and handed it to Xia Yuan Lin Youxi and one of them, and then went to fetch water and drank a small sip, and then ran to visit the employees' office area with great interest.
Since the general meeting, Meifang has maintained a record of coming to Linxi Technology every 2 weeks to check in, one is to hold a meeting with everyone to understand the project development progress of "Cloud Journey", and the other is to confirm the company's current operation.
However, after all, it's a team of enthusiasts, and everyone often does some weird and funny behavior.
An employee suddenly stood up and saluted when Mei Fang passed by: "Hello stationmaster!" β
"Sit down, you...... Stand up and do something, leave me alone. β
The young ladies who like the second dimension obviously showed greater interest in Mei Fang:
"Oh, it's a living treasure! It's rare to see you in the company, can I leave you a signature? I'm really super over-the-top to you, I'm your one-man pusher! β
ββ¦β¦ My signature is pretty ugly. β
"It's okay, it's okay, as long as it's written by Fang Bao, I like it!"
"I want it too, I want it too!"
"Give me an autograph too!"
"Ahem, ahem!"
Xia Yuan saw that Mei Fang was very popular with female employees, and then deliberately came up and coughed loudly, and the young ladies immediately shrank back with interest.
"The hostess is jealous."
"Yes, Yuanbao is jealous."
"I hear youβ"
Xia Yuan grunted coquettishly on the side, triggering a series of teasing laughter.
In the early days of entrepreneurship, it is inevitable that there will be some overtime involution, but Mei Fang is because he has been drenched in the rain, always thinking about holding an umbrella for others, and he tries his best to ensure that everyone works overtime, so the current atmosphere of the company is still very harmonious and hardworking.
After a while, the three bigwigs of the penguins, two men and one woman, arrived at Lin Xi Technology, and Mei Yue, who was skilled and experienced in business, immediately went up to shake hands with each other, and then after a brief introduction to each other, Mei Fang also came forward to shake hands with the three.
"Hello, nice to meet the penguin seniors."
When Mei Fang stretched out his hand to shake it, the woman in the lead was stunned for a moment, and then smiled:
"I didn't expect the real actual controller of Station C to be such a young boy, you are really amazing...... I'm Wen Qi from Penguin CVC's Strategy Department, and you can call me Carly. β
"Hello brothers and sisters!"
Xia Yuan bowed to everyone on the side, and the three of them felt very novel, "Wow...... It seems that it is really the Yuanbao deity, I have heard your songs, and they sing very well. β
"Uh...... Thank you for the compliments, and I will continue to work hard. β
"Anyway, Yuanbao's popularity is so high, don't you really plan to make your debut as an idol?"
Xia Yuan waved his hand again and again, "No, no, writing songs is just a simple hobby, and I still have a lot to learn." β
Compared with Mei Fang's real power and Xia Yuan's influence, Lin Youxi doesn't seem to be shining enough at present, but when he reached out to shake each other to make an introduction, everyone also said Lin Youxi's identity at once:
"If you're not mistaken, this should be the 'eldest lady' herself, right? It's a very temperamental sister.γ β
"Hello."
Compared with Mei Fang's sophistication and Xia Yuan's vitality, Lin Youxi didn't say much, just smiled simply, and then had no intention of continuing to greet.
Mei Yue led the three of them to take a brief look at the current office situation of Lin Xi Technology, and then came to the conference room together, I have to say that the sense of oppression of the bigwigs is still full of aura, but fortunately, Mei Fang is not very empty to them, which also makes the three people who came to visit surprised.
When they did the background investigation before the communication, they didn't find more of Mei Fang's family background, and even the establishment of Station C, Simi Lu games, he almost did it from his family, I don't know where he learned these communication skills, there is always a feeling of youth and old age.
Is it really talented?
"So...... Now that everyone has known each other once, I will first briefly introduce to you the current business situation of our Lin Xi Technologyββ"
Mei Yue seriously introduced the company's situation on the stage, and the three penguins in the audience stared at Mei Yue's PPT display content meticulously, and from time to time they bowed their heads to write some more beautiful notes, and there was no intention of interrupting during the period.
"We actually have a lot of interest in the development of your company and have a lot of questions, especially for the fact that the actual controller of the company is still a minor, which is a big traffic gimmick in itself. But before that, according to what we have learned, your company should have received a lot of financing intentions from companies, and I heard that Mei only arranged a meeting with us, so I would like to ask: is this true? β
Mei Fang smiled and nodded, "After all, we are students, after all, the time on weekends is limited, and we have to go back to do our homework, so naturally we will choose the most valuable financing partner." β
As a high school student, it doesn't seem to be incompatible at all to say this...... Still, thank you for your answer. β
Wen Qi pushed his glasses slightly, and then smiled: "Your children have probably played some games that we have developed as Penguin agents or developers, but this level of understanding alone may be quite different from starting a company, I hope you can understand." β
"Of course I understand this, so I hope we can get straight to the nitty-gritty."
"Hmm...... How to say it, after all, the A round of financing involves all aspects of consideration, and the fact that Mei is still a middle school student is the most interesting and surprising. β
Wen Qi flipped through the written materials prepared by Mei Yue, and replied lukewarmly: "But we are talking about business, and I want to directly hear Mei's own plans for the future than the content of the materials you prepared...... For example, when you get financing and expand your company, how do you plan to make Station C go further? β
"Before answering this question, we must first clarify what Lin Xi Technology, that is, Station C means to me...... In Sister Wen Qi's opinion, what kind of website do you think we are? β
"In my personal opinion, Station C should be a video website where ACG culture lovers communicate?"
Wen Qi smiled, "It should be right to understand it this way, right?" β
"Indeed, as you said, the two-dimensional we are talking about is actually the collective name of the four pieces of ACGN content, namely: animation, comics, games, and light." Mei Fang explained, "These four major blocks are the main topics discussed by our C station users. β
"As far as the current actual situation is concerned, A-that is, the anime drama of Sakura Country is the most discussed part, but in the final analysis, we are just doing portering, and this aspect will be an expenditure that is not much less than the bandwidth fee in the future copyright battle,"
"Not to mention that we are facing a station A with a number of official members that is close to 10 times our size, in addition, whether it is Youpants, Tudou, or the recently rising iQiyi, it will be a strong competitor, and it is impossible to turn losses into profits by relying on Series A financing."
"Although I have said a lot of concerns about copyright, this concern is necessary for Station C, and I believe your company is also aware of the risk of burning money in this financing."
Mei Fang's answer surprised Wen Qi and the others.
"I didn't expect that Mei would have started to consider the copyright of the drama now...... In fact, we did receive copyright-related news.,In addition, if Station C wants to be bigger,If you don't support genuine dramas, it's estimated that it will be difficult to go public.,I was thinking about how to make you understand this issue.,It seems that Mei's connections are not shallow......"
When it comes to going public, Mei Fang actually has no plans to go public, but he is not in a hurry to tell these fathers.
"Combined with the current situation in our country and the prediction of the future, from the perspective of monetization, the G in ACGN, that is, GAME, is the field with the best monetization effect in my opinion."
"That's why there's a Simi Lou game?"
Wen Qi said with a smile, "But at present, the games your company makes tend to be niche themes, and the relationship with the second yuan is not so big, and the sense of separation seems to be more serious, although at present, we see that your company uses the popularity of Yuanbao and C station to promote your new work, but the benefits are still very average." β
"That's normal...... This is what we do in our spare time at school, and we can only do it to this extent at most. β
Another penguin man waved his hand and said, "No, don't say anything 'to this extent', I have played the game you made, and you did a really good job." β
The man gave Mei Fang a thumbs up, but anyone who loves the game will appreciate Mei Fang's courage and passion as a pioneer.
"Thank you, Brother Zhang, for the compliment."
Mei Fang continued, "Of course, we will not only lay out this piece of indie games in my hands, we will make a lot of games, and we will also publish a lot of games, some of which do not seem to be profitable at the moment, but in the near future, in a global market, it can also bring good profits, of course, I also hope to get a good reputation...... Therefore, we really hope to one day complete the development of domestic 3A masterpieces. β
Before the birth of the black myth, the goose factory and pig farm used to be the most anticipated birthplace of domestic 3A, but the results have not been seen for a long time, and the reborn Mei Fang no longer expects them to make something.
The game they can't make, we will do it; They can't change the game market, we Simi Lu to change, even if it's bruised all over the body, we have to live beautifully! This is the high hope that Mei Fang has for the future of the Simi Lu game.
"Your development strategy at Station C also seems to follow the principle of cherishing word of mouth...... However, to be honest, Mei really didn't think about receiving advertisements and relaxing the requirements for registering as a full member? It took me three days to figure out the answers to these questions. β
"That's, that's not going to work!"
Xia Yuan, who has been unable to interject, finally has the opportunity to help Mei Fang, "A Fang often tells us that 'Station C may go out of business, but it will definitely not deteriorate.'" If we go against our hearts for the sake of development, then it's not interesting! β
Lin Youxi also answered on the side, "The average user level of the community forum will always decrease with the large number of pan-users joining, which is also something that cannot be helped, we just want to make this time rhythm slower." β
"I can understand your company's corporate culture now......"
Wen Qi nodded, "All in all, you just want to maintain a pure two-dimensional circle, and you also want to develop a world-famous triple-A masterpiece." β
"However, based on this consideration, the financing funds we talked about may need to be adjusted on an ad hoc basis, so please let me consult with our colleagues at CVC later."
Taking advantage of the time when Wen Qi went out to make a call, Xia Yuan whispered to Lin Youxi, "They won't be temporarily lowering the price, right?" Penguins are going to do the same thing? β
"Don't worry, let's take a look first."
Lin Youxi still looked calmβbut at the same time, she also put her hand on Mei Fang's thigh on the side and rubbed it gently.
"Sorry...... I just waited a long time. β
Wen Qi and her two subordinates finished talking from outside, and then hurriedly sat down in their seats.
"In this A round of venture capital, we plan to add an additional 2 million financing amount to Station C, that is, a total of 12 million financing amount; In addition, we also hope to be able to provide an angel round investment of about 5 million yuan for Simi Lu Games, and given that Mei's company is still in the initial incubation stage, we can also provide expatriate employee support and some professional guidance. Of course, whether you need it or not depends on what you mean. β
It's the exact opposite of what you imagined, wow?
Do you think we really have a promising future?
Originally, Mei Fang didn't have a bottom in his heart, thinking about whether there would be anything greasy in the financing contract, but after repeatedly confirming that there were no harsh conditions attached, he still sent out the most genuine emotion-
I have to say that the penguin's money is really stable and fragrant in your hands.
Okay, the commercial line that everyone doesn't like is here for the time being.,And then today is Xi's birthday.,During the day, I'll send a special extra.,The keyword is [reward].,See if there are any friends who can guess which chapter of the reward pinch!
