At this time, Origin has been acquired by a company called Shengda Technology. The previous founders each retained some shares and received a sum of cash.
So now if you want to invest in this website, you need Shengda Technology’s consent.
Sun Lijie made a few calls and made an appointment with the boss of Shengda Technology.
…
Chen Daqiao, CEO of Shengda Technology, is sitting in the office at this time, preparing to welcome Sun Lijie, the president of Taihua Consulting. This is one of the big names in the Chinese investment circle. I heard that he especially likes to invest in network technology companies. Is he going to give it to them? Shengda Technology Investment
They conducted the first round of financing not long ago, but they all invested quickly. After the second round of financing, they can wait until the initial investment is profitable, and the company will be on the right track. Maybe it won't take more than two years for the company to go public.
A middle-aged man was brought into the office by his secretary. Chen Daqiao hurriedly walked out from behind his desk and stretched out his hands from a distance: "Mr. Sun is here, it's hard to welcome him from afar."
"I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. I came here to see Mr. Chen today because I also want to talk about business with Mr. Chen."
Chen Daqiao was secretly happy. Sure enough, Mr. Sun was here to invest. This can be considered a hit-off, right
"Mr. Sun wants to invest in our company?"
"Yes, or we have taken a fancy to a website under your company. If you are willing to part with it, we can buy it." Sun Lijie did not mince words and directly stated his purpose.
"Which website is it?"
Although Shengda Technology was not founded long ago, it already has several websites. Including game agents, online novels, online services, etc.
"We are very interested in this emerging industry that you acquired not long ago."
Originally, Chen Daqiao thought that Sun Lijie was interested in being a game agent. After all, the Taihua Holdings Group also owned Fengyu Games, and they were also one of the agents for a certain Fengyu Games game.
Or online services, they are at the forefront of China. But I never expected that the other party would be interested in this website!
"Mr. Sun, you also said that this is a website we just acquired and will not be sold immediately."
"I'll increase the price by 20%!"
Not long after the acquisition, I was able to earn 20% profit, which should be considered a very good investment. However, Chen Daqiao and his team are also very optimistic about this emerging industry and believe that it will form a revolution.
"Mr. Sun, I'm sorry, we really can't sell this."
"In that case, let's invest. We will take control of your network site, or we will take control of Shengda Technology." Sun Lijie immediately proposed the second plan.
"Mr. Sun, it is impossible for you to hold a controlling stake in our company. We have other shareholders who may not agree. If Taihua Consulting only wants to take a shareholding, then we can talk about it."
Chen Daqiao will not sell the company. This is his career. At worst, he will have to hold the voting rights in his own hands if there is a second round of financing.
"If we participate in the stock market, our investment will not be too high." Sun Lijie said with a frown.
In fact, he just mentioned holding a controlling stake just to lower the price. If you can really hold a controlling stake, then a higher price is acceptable, but if you only participate in shares, the price will naturally be lower, and even Sun Lijie is not prepared to pay a premium.
Now that both parties have reached this consensus, it will be relatively simple to continue the negotiation. One really wanted to buy a stake, the other really needed the money, and the negotiations went very smoothly.
On behalf of Taihua Consulting, Sun Lijie invested a sum of money in exchange for 33 millionths of the shares of Origin and also occupied a senior executive seat.
To be honest, Sun Lijie didn't understand this website at all, and even no one under the Taihua Holdings Group dared to explain it. Maybe Hu Run and the others can understand a little bit. After all, Hu Run's work is also related to publishing, so it is somewhat related.
…
"Boss, Origin, we invested a sum of money and got one-third of the equity. Is that enough?" Sun Lijie called and asked.
"It doesn't matter how much, but the adaptation rights I mentioned have priority, is that included?" Feng Yu asked with concern.
"It's included. I put forward this condition, and they didn't object. Nowadays, online novels don't seem to have the right to adapt, right?"
"It doesn't mean there won't be in the future. Don't forget, we are still making games. In the future, our game background stories can be written by these online novel authors, which will increase the exposure of our games in a disguised way. In turn, their If the story is well written, why can't it be adapted into a game?" Feng Yu asked.
Only then did Sun Lijie understand what Feng Yu's purpose was. However, he still feels that it seems unlikely that the novel will be adapted into a game, right? A novel is nothing more than a story, or a very long story. Adapting it into a movie or TV series is more reliable than adapting it into a game, right
Sun Lijie, like everyone else, has never read online novels. I have no idea how much potential online novels will have in the future. And it’s not like there is no precedent for novels to be adapted into games. Harry Potter already has games.
There are also games adapted from comics, games adapted from animations, movies and TV shows, etc. Nothing is impossible.
Nowadays, there are no fairy tales or fantasy novels, they mainly focus on urban areas. But the audience for online novels is diversified. There are currently no such categories, but they can be guided.
Feng Yu believes that although it is still relatively early and online novels are still in the transition from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age, the Bronze Age may come earlier.
For example, if someone writes a novel similar to The Legend of Sword and Fairy, it can be adapted into a similar online game of Sword and Fairy. If someone wrote a novel similar to modern mercenaries, it could be adapted into a gun battle adventure game. If someone writes a novel about football competition, it can be adapted into a football battle game.
There are many categories suitable for adaptation, the main thing is whether the writing is attractive enough.
"Boss, tell me, which novels are suitable for adaptation now? Fengyu Games has no experience at all in this regard."
Feng Yu thought for a while: "It's okay. I will personally screen and find those suitable for adaptation. Moreover, there are also some problems with the current charging model and payment model. We must find some ways to attract more readers. Without readers, No matter how well you write, it’s all in vain.”
When Sun Lijie heard that Feng Yu was coming in person, he immediately became more confident in this website. Mr. Feng took action personally, can he still lose money? Sure to make a lot of money!
