In fact, "Heroes of Glory" is not as competitive as the popular MOBA games on the market, nor does it have much fan base. It is just a small game from an unknown small company that is also unknown and not very favored by the market. The only better thing about it than Hongbo at the beginning is that it is already a sound game company with a complete personnel and technical foundation, and enough funds to support the completion of the game development.
However, this game also has its good points, and its advantage is its lower competitiveness compared to similar competing products. The threshold for getting started is very low, which means that many players who have never played the game before can easily get started. It is far more suitable as a commercial game than similar games that have high thresholds and are therefore niche.
Of course, Jian Xiaohao had already foreseen the success of this game from his fate, so he had no worries about these things. The only thing he needed to consider was how to invest and how to have sufficient funds.
The developer of "Heroes of Glory" must be looking for a way to monetize this game. It is absolutely nonsense for a company to say that it develops games not for money but for dreams or something. Even if the boss doesn't have to eat, the employees under him will have to eat.
However, it is definitely not realistic to want to buy out the game completely. After all, the other party is a game company that is already on the right track. It can completely adopt the traditional way of cooperation and agency with channel operators. There is no need to sell its own game completely to others.
Perhaps this is only the premise that the money given is not enough, but spending too much money and involving too much funds is also something Xia Xu does not want to see.
In the past, he might have only thought about making money, but after seeing one black-tech plot after another, he is more inclined to focus on high-tech companies related to biomedicine and mechanical manufacturing.
Therefore, it is fine for him to make some high-profit short-term investments now, but the majority of the funds should still be placed in technology companies. Simply investing to make money is a bit of a loss.
Moreover, relying on technology companies to analyze and utilize technologies such as the wolf tribe's enhanced serum can definitely make countless times more money than game companies, and can also create more urgently needed power and influence.
This was actually the reason why he set up the venture capital company in the first place. He had already decided to focus his energy on the two technology companies of biology and mechanical.
It is unnecessary and inefficient for him to be greedy and control a large number of profitable companies. With the time he spends controlling one company, he can find a dozen high-potential companies to invest in. The best way is to invest in an angel round and let the founders work diligently to increase the value of his assets.
"Forget it. Let Sister Le Yao go and discuss the investment with the development company. By the way, let's see if we can get the agency rights for Xia Country, the largest market, at a low price. If we can get it, let Hong Bo set up a company to run it..."
After much deliberation, Xia Xu made a decision.
Investing in a game development company and getting a portion of shares will naturally increase in value countless times after the game becomes popular. Whether you distribute it as dividends or resell it, you will make a lot of money.
As for the domestic agency rights, it is purely a matter of trying. After all, "Heroes of Glory" and its development company are relatively unknown now, so it shouldn't cost much to just get the agency rights.
It would be best if he could get it. Hongbo happened to say that he wanted to follow him. It would not be appropriate to arrange him in an investment company or something like that. It would be nice to let him run "Heroes of Glory" as a dog planner. If he can't get it, forget it.
…
Let me explain this on two sides.
In order to avoid misunderstanding, Chen Leyao informed her boss in advance and finally took time out of her busy schedule to meet with Griffin Jones.
The meeting place was a coffee shop with fairly stylish decoration. Apart from Griffin Jones, there were no other customers in the cafe.
When Chen Leyao asked, she was amused to find out that the place had been booked by him.
"Mr. Griffin, I've already told you that I've found a job at a company. There's no need for you to waste your energy on me. You should find someone else as soon as possible."
Chen Leyao came to a window seat where Griffin Jones was sitting and stood there. She didn't sit down, but just spoke with an apologetic and helpless look.
"Everyone else is just mediocre. Only you, Miss Chen, can catch my eye. Only you can keep up with my thinking. Even your predictions about the stock market are the same. This is definitely not something that an ordinary genius can do."
Griffin Jones' tone was full of pride, so confident that it made people feel that it was naked arrogance.
"Even so, I can only express my gratitude to Mr. Griffin for your unilateral attention."
Chen Leyao didn't want to care whether this was self-confidence or arrogance. She had been overwhelmed by the disputes with a large number of investment institutions in the past few days, and she was also troubled by Griffin Jones's entanglement.
Although her tone was still polite at the moment, she emphasized the word "unilaterally" and continued with a hint of apology: "I am currently very satisfied with the company I work for, and I have no intention of switching to another company right after joining. This would be an insult to my personality."
"Ms. Chen, now that you're here, it's okay to sit down and have a cup of coffee, right?"
Griffin Jones remained motionless, exuding a calm and confident attitude. He extended his hand to the seat opposite him and gestured for the person to sit in front of him. He said, "And since Miss Chen is here, it should be considered that she has tacitly agreed to give me a chance to defend myself, right?"
"Okay, just five minutes."
Chen Leyao still sighed, pulled out a chair and sat down.
She was actually a little curious about how Griffin Jones could convince her. After all, she seemed to be resolute enough.
"It doesn't take five minutes. It only takes one minute."
Griffin Jones was full of confidence. He took out a white pill wrapped in a small transparent plastic bag from his arms and handed it to her: "As long as Miss Chen takes this, you will understand why I am confident that I can rival Xinghai Venture Capital, and you will also understand the unlimited potential that Tianshen Investment means."
However, what he received was just a look from Chen Leyao that looked like he was a fool.
Perhaps his brain performance has been enhanced countless times after taking the super brain potion, but when he does not take the medicine he is still just an ordinary person. Moreover, the super brain potion only enhances brain performance and has no effect on a person's personality and thinking logic, so the way of thinking and cognition cannot be changed.
This is also the main difference between taking the super brain potion and being able to become an all-rounder comparable to various high-star talents. The thoughts of a creative inventor and a numb office worker are completely different.
Therefore, he obviously overlooked a very important point—the human heart.
"Mr. Griffin, do you think I look like someone who would take any unknown drug?"
Chen Leyao looked at Griffin Jones as if he were a fool.
