The deal had already been agreed upon, and since both parties were acquaintances, the sale of shares naturally did not cause any trouble, and Xia Xu and Fang Dahai signed the contract quickly.
It is said that the share price is calculated based on the total assets of Feizhou Studio, but Feizhou Studio is now penniless, and the only thing that can be calculated is the sales volume of "Wulin Painting Scroll".
The sales of "Wulin Painting Scroll" were around 300,000 in the first two weeks after it was released, but after that it began to stabilize due to market and target audience constraints. Now, nearly a month and a half has passed, and the total sales are almost 900,000 copies.
Based on the game's price of 68, "Wulin Painting Scroll" generated more than 60 million in revenue in just one and a half months.
Of course, this is just a rough calculation. As an operating channel, the ST game platform will take a 30% commission, and there are also factors such as discounts and promotions, and taxes must be paid.
Roughly speaking, the sales revenue that Feizhou Studio can currently settle is about 30 million. If it is a dividend, it will be necessary to deduct the statutory provident fund and the like. However, now it is selling shares directly to China Overseas Investment, so there is no need to calculate these.
If we multiply the total assets by more than 30 million by four, it means that the shares of Feizhou Studio can be valued at more than 120 million. Since Xia Xu holds 70% of the shares, it can be sold at a high price of at least 80 or 90 million.
This is more than a net worth of tens of millions. If you don't take into account the tax rate and the like, he is definitely a newly minted billionaire.
However, as a young man with upright values and a famous defender of justice in Star City, Xia Xu would naturally not do such things as tax evasion. He would have to pay it even if it was painful.
The main reason is that there is no need to do such a thing that is not worth the loss. He is confident that there will be plenty of opportunities to make money in the future, so there is no need to do such illegal and criminal activities. He is also thinking about whether he can get an official order through Uncle Luo in the future. Before that, he always has to consolidate his reputation and image.
Besides, paying more taxes can be considered a talisman. As a major taxpayer, you can always get some special care, overtly or covertly. Money is just a number. It can only be effectively used if you can use it to expand your influence.
Just by paying this amount, the miscellaneous corporate income tax and stamp duty, etc., amounted to 10 or 20 million. Chen Leyao had previously argued with China Overseas Venture Capital to make up the total amount, and after tax, 70 million was received.
China Overseas Investment had already made arrangements with banks and the like, and once the contract was signed, the funds were transferred to Xinghai Venture Capital's account in a short time.
"Sister Le Yao, I feel like I missed an opportunity to become a billionaire..."
After seeing Fang Dahai and Liu Xiulan off, Xia Xu covered his chest with a look of pain on his face and slumped down in a chair.
"Boss, do you still need to care about this little money? In two months, you can turn 500,000 into 70 million. This 70 million may become 700 million in no time."
Chen Leyao comforted her with a smile.
"That's right, I must make a few hundred million next time!"
Hearing Chen Leyao's soft and comforting words, Xia Xu's mood finally calmed down a little.
No wonder we always heard about so and so who were evading taxes, and they were all celebrities or big bosses. The tax starting at 20% is really painful to pay, and the more you earn, the more painful it is. Today he has experienced the troubles of the rich.
"Boss, what are your plans for the next step?"
Seeing that Xia Xu had recovered, Chen Leyao asked about the main business.
"What else can you plan? Sister Le Yao, go rent a fancy office building as your company's headquarters and arrange recruitment interviews.
Try to find as many people as possible, online and offline, fresh graduates, and headhunters. You will be responsible for the initial screening, and I will personally check the follow-up."
Xia Xu shrugged and said, "Once the makeshift team is set up, let the investment department and risk control department handle some small investments themselves, and forget about the larger amounts for now. I have other uses for this money."
"Other uses? Is it the Heroes of Glory game you mentioned last time?"
Chen Leyao said thoughtfully.
“No, the game Glory of Heroes is just one of them. Let’s treat this as a major project of Xinghai Venture Capital.
When the time comes, you will personally contact the developer Hammerhead Company, mainly to get their shares, and secondly, try to get the agency rights of Xiaguo at a low price. I plan to let Hongbo operate this game."
Xia Xu pondered and said, "If the price is too high, forget it. I will use most of this money to set up other companies."
Xinghai Venture Capital is his wholly-owned company, so there is no obstacle in withdrawing funds. He will naturally use the money to set up companies in the fields of biomedicine and mechanical manufacturing according to the original plan.
However, if you want to set up this kind of high-tech company, the talent pool is also a problem.
Chen Leyao can be asked to take care of management, and some unimportant positions can be filled through conventional recruitment methods, but the most important R&D department obviously cannot be dealt with perfunctorily.
The problem now is that he doesn't even have a single scientific research talent, let alone top talent who can take the lead in project research.
Moreover, he had done a rough check on various research equipment and found that it was extremely expensive to set up a laboratory that met the standards. Many equipment were even out of stock and blocked by foreign technology.
After calculating all these scattered things, the 70 million seems to be a little insufficient. It is probably not realistic to take care of both the biological and mechanical companies at the same time.
“Why do I feel poorer the more money I make?”
After doing some calculations, Xia Xu suddenly felt a bit upset.
Think about when I first traveled through time a few months ago. The few thousand dollars in my card was more than enough to support myself until I went to college. But later on, even though I became a millionaire, my life was still tight because of the consulting company and the investment in Feizhou Studio.
I originally thought that I would be able to be generous after selling the shares of Feizhou Studio this time, but I never thought that it might not be enough if I counted it carefully. The 70 million I just got seemed to be gone in an instant.
It can only be said that the bigger the stall, the higher the cost and daily expenses. Looking at the 70 million in the card at this time, Xia Xu suddenly felt a little bored.
"I'm a multimillionaire, but I don't even have a car. I have to take a taxi when I go out, and I live in a shabby building. This is too shameful."
Even after leaving Tianhai Building and getting into a taxi, Xia Xu still felt a little sad.
A small shabby building or something like that would be fine, he is not very picky about the living environment, and the house next door to the little white flower is definitely priceless. These past few days he has been thinking about whether he can imitate the ancient sages and "drill a hole in the wall to steal light".
Well, don't get me wrong, he was mainly there to learn.
"Forget about the accommodation. I'm not the kind of person who spends money lavishly. But I have to arrange for a luxury car. After all, when we go out to discuss things, we have to be presentable and look good..."
