Dream Venture Capital.
Pei Qian drank tea and listened to He Desheng's report, wandering around.
Ruan Guangjian left, and the last subject of the exam week was finished. It should have been a double happiness, but Pei Qian always felt a little bit empty.
The Spring Festival is coming in a week. Seeing that all the classmates around him have gone home, Pei Qian himself is still busy with company affairs.
What a hard worker!
He really wants to let go, oh no, let go, but there is no way, if he doesn’t look for work, work will come to him.
Yuanmeng Venture Capital has two tasks, one is the national server affairs of ioi, and the other is the Xueba Qialai app.
At present, the testing status of ioi in Europe and the United States is very good. According to common sense, it is almost time to start preparations for the national server.
At this stage, many domestic game companies have noticed ioi, which has gained momentum during the European and American tests, and want to win the agency rights for the Chinese server as soon as possible.
However, when I asked the Zhidou Company, I found out that the agency rights for the national server had been taken over first...
So, these people wanted to get the agency rights for the ioi national server. We can only hope that Dream Venture Capital will resell it.
With many companies interested, the prices offered are naturally getting higher and higher.
"Mr. Pei, so we...sell it?" He Desheng ended his long report and ended with a question that touched his soul.
Pei Qian was silent for a moment: "Can you tell me again what the highest asking price is now?"
He Desheng: "Thirty-five million."
Pei Qian silently put down his tea cup, almost wanting to look up to the sky and sigh.
35 million!
The Chinese server agency rights currently owned by Yuanmeng Chuang are given for free when I bought the shares of Zhitou Company before...
At that time, I bought just over 20% of the shares of Zhitou Company, and the total was only I spent 20 million, and now I still have these shares. I just sold the agency rights for the national server, and I got 35 million.
It’s not so fast to grab money.
Pei Qian immediately shook his head: "Reject them all, no sale!"
Pei Qian knew very well that once he got this money, don't expect to lose money in this cycle!
Seeing that the settlement is due in two months, what can you do in these two months to spend more than 30 million and ensure that the project goes online? It’s so unsafe!
So, it must not be sold!
He Desheng deeply agreed: "Yes, I think so too! 35 million is too little. If you hold it for a while, you will definitely be able to sell it for more!"
Pei Qian: "?"
He Desheng's face was filled with joy and he continued: "Mr. Pei, I have also done my homework. Now several large domestic companies represent foreign games, and the agency fees are It’s almost astronomical!”
“The agency fee for the previous version of "Fantasy World" was US$30 million, nearly US$200 million! ”
“Now it seems that the popularity of ioi may reach the level of “Fantasy World” in the future. Now you want to buy it from us for 35 million? There are no doors! "
"Of course, this is also because ioi has just started testing, and the Zhidou company itself is not well-known. ”
“In short, we don’t need to worry at all now. As long as ioi’s popularity continues to increase abroad, the agency fees will definitely increase again! "
Pei Qian: "..."
We are not thinking about the same thing at all, okay!
Pei Qian wants to sell this now. The settlement of the period was completely ruined, and there was no place to spend 35 million, so it could not be sold.
What He Desheng thought was that 35 million was obviously still low, and he would continue to raise the price!
< p>After hearing what He Desheng said, Pei Qian wanted to sell.But after thinking about it, he still couldn't sell it.
In the short term, selling would affect the settlement. ; In the long run, if ioi can really reach the level of several billion, then Pei Qian might as well just sit back and make money.
After thinking about it for a moment, Pei Qian said: "What I mean is, not only can't it be sold. , we will also open a company specifically to operate the national server of ioi! "
He Desheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately: "That's also good! ”
“This way we can hold this money tree in our hands and make money continuously! ”
Pei Qian: “…”
You can think whatever you like. I don’t want to say anything anymore. I’m tired!
Pei Qian decided on his own There are two main reasons for forming a company to operate the ioi national server.
On the one hand, since we have obtained the agency rights for the national server, it will definitely not work if we do not make or sell it ourselves. It's suspicious.
On the other hand, if you run it yourself, you can spend more money!
As a real-time battle game, whether it is ioi or GOG, the requirements for servers are Tenda. The highest among all games at present, it will inevitably cost a lot of server fees.
At the same time, the initial promotion of ioi will definitely require a lot of money.
In this way, this can at least be guaranteed. It will be a loss during the cycle.
As for the future...
If ioi really becomes a cash cow with endless profits and losses, then Pei Qian can consider simply becoming a salted fish in the future. Just point to the profit conversion ratio of 1000:1 to earn some pocket money.
Pei Qian doesn’t want to dwell too much on the issue of ioi. He definitely can’t sell it now, so he can only keep doing it step by step.
p>"In short, there is no need to rush this matter, let's wait until after the year. ”
“Where’s ‘Come here, master of science’? ”
“The previous three million should be almost spent, right? "Pei Qian asked casually.
During this period, the "Study Masters Come" project is constantly burning money, whether it is advertising or subsidies, there are holes everywhere.
Although it is not as scary as sharing bicycles like crazy and burning money, but after all, the initial capital is only 3 million, and it will be spent in a short time.
He Desheng nodded: "It's almost there, there is less than one million left on the books."
"But don't worry, Mr. Pei, there are several investment companies recently." He showed a strong interest in the "Come High School" project and wants to pursue it!"
Pei Qian stopped as he brought the tea cup to his mouth: "...Huh?"
< p>You all want to pursue such an unreliable project? Your brain isn't burned out, is it?The app "Come here, come the top students" has been revised.
Before, Pei Qian discovered that this app had a negative trend of becoming a dating platform, so he took decisive measures and made major changes to some functions.
Now, all user options on the platform have no gender, no photos, just names and default avatars.
If you look at the homepage of a certain top student, you can only see the positive rating and the system default labels given to him by others, such as: good teaching attitude, patience, easy to understand, etc.
The homepage of the bad student is also similar, with the same positive rating and system default tags, such as: listen carefully, have a good learning attitude, be polite, etc.
According to the current standard process, students fill in their needs on the app, including the subjects they need tutoring, time, and the agreed location. The students take the order independently and use the chat function included with the software throughout the process. During the process, no one can clearly know the gender and appearance of the other party.
Of course, there will definitely be people who try to ask each other’s gender before meeting. In response to this situation, the app has specially designed a “one-click complaint” function. After clicking, the chat records of both parties will automatically be submitted for review, and Discontinue this tutorial.
Once it is verified that an account has tested the other party's gender or appearance, the account will be punished immediately, ranging from deducting credibility points to permanently banning the ID card and mobile phone number.
As soon as this new version of the app was updated, the number of active users immediately plummeted!
Because there are a large number of users with impure purposes in the app, and they only regard it as a platform to meet the opposite sex.
Just like on taxi-hailing apps, there are many drivers who deliberately select some pretty girls to take orders and discuss them privately, there are also such people in the "Xueba Come Quickly" app.
What's more, face-to-face tutoring can easily create opportunities for such encounters. If allowed to develop, it will be more serious than taxi-hailing software.
The new version update completely extinguished the delusions of this group of people.
So, it is normal for the app’s popularity to drop sharply.
Pei Qian originally thought that when this new version came out, it would definitely deal a heavy blow to the "Come High School Master" project, so he took the time to spend all the millionsOnce the burning is done, everything will be fine.
I never expected that there are still several investment companies pursuing investment?
Pei Qian fell into deep thought.
Originally, he planned to burn the three million dollars quickly, and then he could legitimately declare the project a failure and let it cool down naturally.
As a result, before the money was spent, someone else rushed to give money away. What should I do?
Pei Qian wanted to refuse, but there was no reason!
Mr. Li’s Fuhui Capital has already invested one million, and other investment companies want to invest, but the shares they ask for are not that many. The project of "Come Over to the Academic Master" is currently relatively short of money...
p>Why do you want to refuse?
Pei Qian thought about it for a moment and agreed.
Isn’t it enough to tell these companies all about the unreliability of this project and let them retreat from the difficulties?
Thinking of this, Pei Qian said to He Desheng: "You should call these investment companies immediately and explain two things clearly."
"First, ask Make it clear why they want to invest in the "Xueba Come Come" project."
"Second, explain clearly all the problems currently faced by "Xueba Come Come" and explain the existence of this project in advance. The risk!"
The purpose of the first question is very simple. I want to ask these people, what do you think of the "Student Master Come Soon" project? Can't I change it?
He Desheng was a little confused.
What does Mr. Pei mean?
Why do these investment companies invest in the "Study Masters Come Soon" project? I must think this project is reliable!
This should be something these investment companies consider. They invest money, and we take it!
He Desheng thought hard and thought to himself: "Could it be that Pei always hopes that I can use this method to deduce the success of this project? To deepen my understanding of investment methods?"
< p>"Well, this is the only reasonable explanation.""But why does Mr. Pei clearly explain the risks of this project to all investors?"
Other people's Projects try their best to deceive investment companies, reporting good news but not bad news, so as to get the other party to invest more money.
I have leaked all my money, can others still invest money?
He Desheng didn't want to understand too much, but seeing Mr. Pei's unquestioning look in his eyes, he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He just dialed the numbers of these investment companies one by one.
Pei Qian was listening silently.
He Desheng was very obedient and followed Pei Qian’s instructions in advance. He first asked the other party’s opinion on the “Come High School Master” project, and then spoke at length about the current problems faced by the project.
For example, the current active users are not able to support the market demand, the popularity and daily activity of the app have plummeted after the update, the current functions are still relatively simple, etc.
As expected, the two families were persuaded to leave!
ThisSome investment companies must go through some research before investing, but no matter how much research they do, they cannot get some internal data.
Some investment companies simply take a fancy to the education industry as an industry with good prospects. They see that this company has the background of Tengda and Fuhui Capital, and feel that this is a relatively reliable project. That’s why I considered pursuing the investment.
But now He Desheng made it clear and clear about the real situation facing the project, especially emphasizing the huge risks faced by this project and the possibility of losing everything.
As a result, some investment companies immediately backed down.
After three calls in a row, the investment enthusiasm of the three investment companies on the other side was extinguished. From the initial state of preparing to invest, they have degenerated into a wait-and-see state.
