Seeing that Pei Qian's face was pale and there was no expression of approval or relief on his face, Ma Yang suddenly felt a little unsure.
"Brother Qian, don't you blame me for spending too much money?"
"Do you think a small foreign company is not worth investing so much money?"< /p>
Pei Qian: "..."
Looking at Lao Ma's sincere eyes, Pei Qian was at a loss for words.
How do you say this...
It was Pei Qian who told Lao Ma to take action when it was time to take action without hesitation;
Let Lao Ma like it It's Pei Qian who just throws in whatever he wants.
Playing underworld and playing "Shenqi" is one of Lao Ma's few hobbies. Lao Ma can't invest in "Shenqi", so he can only settle for the next best thing and find a foreign company that makes similar games. One investment, and all 20 million were invested in it at once.
From all aspects, Lao Ma listened to Pei Qian's words.
Moreover, this seems to be a rather unreliable transaction, which is very consistent with Pei Qian's original intention.
But Pei Qian feels miserable because this company has such a strong sense of déjà vu!
Is this IOI the LOL after the change?
The reason why Pei Qian was unexpected about this was mainly because he had checked similar information on the Internet last year!
According to original memory, Riot Games was founded around 2006. In 2008, it raised US$8 million and introduced three investors.
As for the subsequent acquisition by Penguin for an additional $200 million, that was in 2011.
According to memory, LOL was launched in 2009.
It is already November 2010.
It stands to reason that the US$8 million financing at that time should have been completed long ago?
Pei Qian searched for similar news on the Internet last year, but did not find it.
He didn’t think too much about it at the time, thinking it was just another sign of the changes in the world. After all, even Station B had become Ellie Island, and it was normal for other companies to undergo some changes.
Pei Qian didn't take this too seriously. After all, the company was far overseas, and he was not well-informed.
Now Pei Qian finally understands why he couldn’t find it last year.
Because the company name and the game name have changed, from Riot Company to Finger Company, from LOL to IOI, of course Pei Qian can’t find anything when searching under the original name.
Moreover, the entire timeline has been pushed back two years. The company was probably just established last year. It was just a start-up. How could there be too much information online?
Pei Qian has actually always been curious about what MOBA games in this world will be like.
I never expected that I finally knew the answer to this matter today, but in such a ridiculous way...
NoHowever, Pei Qian looked at the system panel and found that there were no obvious changes yet.
The shares worth more than 2 million dollars should be of the same nature as the villa. They are special assets belonging to the company and should definitely be displayed on the system panel.
This may be because the share acquisition is still in progress and all procedures have not been completed, so it is not officially displayed on the system.
Many thoughts flashed quickly in Pei Qian's mind.
He faced Lao Ma’s sincere eyes and didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Criticize him? It doesn't seem to make sense. Lao Ma followed his instructions exactly and did not compromise at all.
Spending 20 million on a small foreign company is very consistent with the style of Dream Venture Capital. It is not appropriate to blame Ma Yang for this!
Praise him? Well, it should indeed be praised. This kind of investment is the kind of deeds that can last a lifetime.
But... Pei Qian really couldn't boast enough.
Pei Qian took two deep breaths and nodded reluctantly: "It's okay, you did a good job."
"However, there may not be any extra funds in the near future, Lao Ma. Just take everyone to work and play games every day, and wait for my next news." Pei Qian stood up and prepared to leave.
He couldn't stay in this sad place for a second.
Ma Yang raised his hand: "Hey, Brother Qian, why don't you come and experience a high-end game? I'm a 1900-point master!"
Pei Qian: "..."
Ma Yang added: "I will contact store manager Lin directly for the meal on Saturday night. Is it okay?"
Pei Qian: "... …”
You still have the nerve to eat my food!
Speechless, he could only turn his back to Ma Yang and raise his hand to make an "OK" gesture, and then left without looking back.
……
……
Back at Tenda Games, Pei Qian sat down in his office.
Having thought about life, the next step is to think about how to deal with this emergency.
This kind of trouble happened at the beginning of the cycle, which was completely beyond Pei Qian's expectation.
I bought more than 20% of the shares and obtained the exclusive agency rights of IOI in China. This matter is basically finalized. It is impossible to terminate the investment and transfer these newly purchased shares.
Because there is really no valid reason.
What about selling it after a while? By then, the valuation of Zhidou Company will definitely rise rapidly, and this sale will definitely result in a huge profit.
What's more, after Pei Qian thought about it carefully, he couldn't sell the shares at all.
Selling it midway is too stupid!
If Zhidou Company can really develop to the scale that Pei Qian imagined, not to mention the shares, just the exclusive agency rights in the country, it can be called a giant.A money tree.
Mr. Pei does regard making money as dirt, but if there is too much dirt... it will be impossible to ignore it.
If IOI can earn more than one billion or two billion dollars a year in the future, then no matter how much the wealth conversion ratio is adjusted, the converted personal property will still be a large amount of money.
If it is just a small profit of a few million, it does not mean much to Pei Qian, but if it is a profit of several billion, things are completely different.
Also, think about it, will you be able to produce heroes and exclusive skins named after yourself in the future?
If you think about it this way, it’s quite touching!
If this situation really happens, then it seems to be a good strategy for Pei Qian to make money by doing nothing.
The large amount of system funds earned can also be used to develop logistics and physical stores to give back to the society.
He is a good young man who earns money from foreigners and repays his motherland.
Of course, then again, this is not so certain.
The whole world is different, and the company and game names are different from what Pei Qian remembers. Who can guarantee that IOI will be as successful as LOL?
Moreover, even if it succeeds, it will only be three or four years later.
During this period, it will have to go through many rounds of promotions and the joint efforts of many people. Only when the right time, location, and people come together can it be possible to achieve a dominant position in the global game market.
Who can say for sure what will happen in three or four years?
Far water cannot quench local thirst. Even if he can really make money in three or four years, it will not affect Pei Qian's current development strategy.
In short, in the long run, these shares and exclusive agency rights must be retained.
If you dislike making money in the near future, then think of ways to spend it suddenly, such as logistics, warehousing, public welfare... Anyway, spending it in a different way is equivalent to benefiting society.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that the situation is not that bad.
The hope of losing money has not been completely cut off.
Moreover, as Pei Qian was thinking about it, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with a good idea.
"Just in time, I can take this opportunity to hedge my risks!"
"Since the world already has IOI, does that mean that the future winner has been determined? ”
“Then if I make a MOBA game myself, wouldn’t it be inevitable?”
“Wouldn’t it become a bottomless pit? I can spend as much money as I want. Just put in as much money as you want!"
Pei Qian suddenly discovered the new world, which can be said to be another new village with bright flowers and bright futures!
If IOI is destined to take the world by storm in the future, and a high-quality game like "Shenqi" can still withstand it, other PC game MOBAs may soon suffer heavy casualties and become just a sideshow.
In this case, Tenda also makes a MOBA gameIsn't the play sure to fail?
I spent 50 million on it first, and then spent another 50 million on it if the situation was not good. In the end, the game was sold out because it was unable to resist the tide of IOI, so all the research and development funds were wasted...
Isn’t it beautiful?
The more Pei Qian thought about it, the more he felt that this was reliable!
A budget of 50 million had been reserved for Tenda’s gaming department, but I was wondering how to spend it.
No need to worry now, you have a goal!
Thinking of this, Pei Qian quickly called Li Yada over.
"There is a new game, just take note of it."
Li Yada quickly took out a small notebook from her pocket: "Okay, Mr. Pei, please tell me."
Pei Qian thought for a while: "Have you played "Gods of God"? Just follow that and make one of the same type."
"As for the name... let's call it GOG, Glory of Gods , The Glory of God."
Pei Qian felt that there were already LOL, IOI, COC and WOW, and there were really not many letters available.
In this case, let’s call it GOG. In fact, it doesn’t have any special meaning. I just hope that this game can play GG as soon as possible.
Li Yada is still waiting.
After waiting for a minute, she asked with some confusion: "That's it?"
Pei Qian nodded: "Yes."
Anyway, it was just You can just mess around with it if you want to spend money on it.
Li Yada thought for a moment: "But, if we copy the words of "Shenqi", isn't it... inappropriate?"
"Although the law does not protect the gameplay, it is too much. I will definitely be scolded."
Pei Qian nodded: "Yes, that makes sense."
After all, Mr. Pei's goal is only to lose money, not to ruin himself and others. It is unnecessary for the company's reputation to attract such criticism.
"In this case, then you can change it as you like."
"Anyway, just change it beyond recognition so that players will not think we are plagiarizing."
< p>"The first version will have more than 20 heroes for casual play, and the development cycle will be four months.""The budget is 50 million. We will work hard. If it is not enough, we can add more later."
Li Yada was stunned: "Huh? So much?... I'm afraid I won't be able to spend all the money."
Is it okay if I can't spend all the money?
Pei Qian was a little unhappy because his employees didn't know how to use their subjective initiative.
Pei Qian said with a bit of hatred: "Why do you want me to teach you money?"
"Spend more art resources, models, actions, story backgrounds, details ..."
Li Yada looked down at the small book with some embarrassment: "But...Mr. Pei, if it is just one picture and more than twenty heroes, the money for art will indeed not be that much. ..."
Pei Qian: "..."
Think about it carefully, this is really the case.
Because of the existence of the RSRO official resource station, the cost of developing games in this world has been reduced a lot.
It is indeed a bit difficult to spend a budget of 50 million on just one map and more than 20 heroes in four months.
How to fix it?
Pei Qian thought for a while, is there any other MOBA game experience that he can learn from?
There are quite a few failed MOBA games, but are many games failed because of poor gameplay, too many program bugs, or insufficient promotion?
This is really hard to explain.
Pei Qian thought about it and came up with a good direction.
A game that has been in testing since its development and has never been officially launched.
Because once it officially operates, it will be bankrupt in an instant.
Pei Qian feels that he should also be able to learn from this advanced experience!
Of course, copyright cannot be used in vain.
Free prostitution copyrights cannot be officially operated. If settlement cannot be made in two cycles, the system will shut down Mr. Pei.
But what if you buy all the copyrights?
How much does that cost!
No need to worry about running out of money!
As long as you keep buying the copyright, no matter how much money you invest, it won’t be enough.
Pei Qian thinks this is a good idea: "Then buy IP!"
"Whether it is domestic or foreign, if there is any character IP that you like, just buy it, no matter how high or low it is, Everything that can be done in the game will be put into the game for him."
"Oh, forget about the hot IPs that can be bought for millions of dollars, just buy more cheap IPs."< /p>
It costs a lot of money to buy characters with big IPs and put them into the game. Even some particularly big IPs may not be available if you have money.
But the hidden dangers of buying such a big IP are also very big. For example... what if it attracts a large number of fans and gives the game a high reputation?
Moreover, the bigger the IP, the more trouble the parent company will have. Pei Qian doesn’t want to have to deal with contract details with some big foreign companies all day just to buy an IP. It’s not worth the trouble. .
So, Pei Qian’s idea is to pick up garbage desperately.
Whether they are domestic or foreign, just look for those IP characters that have become outdated or no one cares about, buy them all with the mentality of picking up garbage, put them into the game, and then according to the character's Feature design skills.
For some games that are different from the game style, you can make an agreement with the copyright owner in advance and ask an art master to make a second creation, and you can still spend more money.
In this way, won’t the money be spent quickly?
Moreover, buying these junk IPs is almost the same as not buying them. They will not play a significant role in driving traffic, and the price-performance ratio is extremely low.
Li Yada still has questions, after all, this is herThe first project I actually led after becoming the chief planner.
However, Pei Qian waved his hand: "Okay, let's do this for now. You can come up with ideas first. Don't ask me about everything, I'm afraid it will affect your own thinking."
< p>Li Yada pinched her fingers: "Okay, okay Mr. Pei."Turn around and leave Mr. Pei's office. Li Yada thought to herself that this task was a bit too heavy, especially since she herself was not good at " A game like God's Enlightenment.
After thinking about it, it should be impossible to improve the game level of "Divine Inspiration" in the short term.
It seems that the only option is to seek help from Bao Xu privately.
