Dream Ventures.
Pei Qian drank tea, listened to He Desheng's report, and wandered the world.
Ruan Guangjian left, and the last exam of the exam week was completed. It should have been a double happiness, but Pei Qian always felt a little empty.
The Spring Festival is just a week away. Seeing that all the classmates around him have gone home, Pei Qian himself is still busy with company affairs.
What a hardship!
He wanted to leave the world, oh no, leave it alone, but there was no way, if he didn't look for a job, the job would come to him.
Dream Realization Ventures has two jobs, one is the national service of ioi, and the other is Xueba Kuailai app.
At present, the test situation of ioi in Europe and the United States is very good. According to common sense, it is almost time to start preparing for the national server.
At this stage, many game companies in China have noticed that ioi, which has a good momentum during the European and American tests, wants to win the agency rights of the national server as soon as possible.
However, when I went to the Zhitou company to ask, I found out that the agency rights of the national service have been preempted...
Therefore, if these people want to get the agency rights of the ioi national server, they can only hope to resell it with Dream Realization Ventures.
With the intentions of many companies, the prices offered are naturally getting higher and higher.
"Mr. Pei, so we... sell?" He Desheng ended his long report, and finally ended with a question that touched the soul.
Pei Qian was silent for a moment: "Can you tell me what the highest asking price is now?"
He Desheng: "35 million."
Pei Qian put down the teacup silently, wanting to sigh in the sky.
35 million!
Now the agency of the national service in the hands of Dream Realization Ventures, but it was given away by buying the shares of Zhitou Company before...
At that time, it only cost 20 million to buy 20% of the shares of Zhitou Company, and now these shares are still in hand. Just selling the proxy rights of the national service is 35 million.
It's not that quick to steal money.
Pei Qian immediately shook his head: "Reject all, do not sell!"
Pei Qian knew very well that once the money was taken, don't expect to lose money in this cycle!
Looking at the settlement in two months, what can I do in these two months to spend more than 30 million yuan and ensure that the project is launched? Too unsafe!
So, definitely not for sale!
He Desheng strongly agreed: "Yes, I think so too! 35 million is too little, and if you hold it for a while, you can definitely sell it even higher!"
Pei Qian: "?"
He Desheng's face was filled with joy, and he continued: "Mr. Pei, I have done my homework. Now several big companies in China represent foreign games, and the agency fees are almost astronomical!"
"The agency fee for the last version of "Fantasy World" was 30 million dollars, nearly 200 million!"
"It now seems that the popularity of ioi in the future may reach the level of "Fantasy World". Now 35 million wants to buy it from us? There is no door!"
"Of course, this is also because ioi has just started testing, and the company itself is not well-known."
"In short, we don't need to worry now. As long as the popularity of ioi continues to increase abroad, the agency fee will definitely increase!"
Pei Qian: "..."
We're not thinking the same thing at all!
What Pei Qian thinks is that once it is sold now, the settlement of this cycle will go to waste. There is nowhere to spend 35 million, so it cannot be sold.
And what He Desheng thought was that 35 million was obviously still low, and he would continue to raise the price!
After hearing He Desheng's words, Pei Qian wanted to sell it.
But on second thought, still can not sell.
In the short term, the sale will affect the settlement; in the long run, if ioi can really reach the level of several billions, then Pei Qian can just lie down and make money.
After thinking for a while, Pei Qian said, "I mean, not only can we not sell it, but we also have to open a special company to operate ioi's national clothes!"
He Desheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately: "That's good too!"
"This way we can hold this cash cow in our hands and make money continuously!"
Pei Qian: "..."
Feel free to think what you like, don't want to say anything, I'm tired!
Pei Qian decided to set up his own company to operate the ioi national service, mainly for two reasons.
On the one hand, since you have obtained the agency rights of the national service, it is definitely not possible to do it yourself or sell it, and it will inevitably lead to suspicion.
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 server requirements are the highest among all Tenda games at present, and a large server fee is bound to be spent.
At the same time, the initial publicity of ioi will definitely require a lot of money.
In this way, you can at least guarantee that you will lose money in this cycle.
As for later...
If ioi really becomes a cash cow and can't make enough losses, then Pei Qian can still consider making a salted fish, and then point to the 1000:1 profit conversion ratio to earn some pocket money.
Pei Qian didn't want to worry too much about the ioi issue. Anyway, he definitely couldn't sell it now, so he could only grit his teeth step by step.
"In short, don't worry about this matter, let's talk about it later in the year."
"Where's the 'Schoolmaster come soon'?"
"The previous three million should be almost the same, right?" Pei Qian asked casually.
During this time, the "Scholar Come Come" project was constantly burning money, whether it was advertising or subsidies, there were holes everywhere.
Although it is not as terrifying as sharing bicycles and burning money, but after all, the initial capital is only 3 million, and it will be spent after a little bit of spending.
He Desheng nodded: "Come on, there's less than one million left on the account."
"But don't worry, Mr. Pei. Recently, several investment companies have shown strong interest in the 'Scholar Come Come' project and want to pursue investment!"
The teacup Pei Qian had just brought to his mouth stopped: "... Huh?"
Do you want to pursue such an unreliable project? Your brain isn't burnt, is it
The app "Scholar Come Come" has been revised.
Earlier, Pei Qian found that this app had a bad tendency to become a dating platform, and has taken decisive measures to make major changes to some functions.
All user options on the platform now have no gender, no photo, just name and default avatar.
Looking at the homepage of a certain student, you can only see the favorable rating and the system default labels posted by others, such as: good teaching attitude, patience, easy to understand, etc.
The homepage of the scumbag is also similar, with the same positive rating and system default labels, such as: listen carefully, have a good learning attitude, be polite, and so on.
According to the current standard process, the scumbag fills in the requirements on the app, including the subject, time, and appointed place that they need to be tutored. Xueba takes orders independently, and uses the chat function attached to the software throughout the process, and it is impossible to know the other party clearly during the whole process gender and appearance.
Of course, some people will definitely try to ask the other party'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 be automatically submitted for review and the counseling will be terminated.
Once it is verified that an account has tested the gender or appearance of the other party, the account will be punished immediately, ranging from deduction of credit points, and in severe cases, the ID card and mobile phone number will be permanently banned.
As soon as this new version of the app was updated, the number of active users plummeted!
Because the app was originally mixed with a large number of users with impure purposes, they originally only regarded this as a platform to meet the opposite sex.
Just like on taxi apps, there are many drivers who will deliberately pick some pretty girls to take orders and discuss them in private, so there are many such people in the "Xueba Come" app.
What's more, face-to-face tutoring is easy to create opportunities for such encounters. If it is allowed to develop, it should be more serious than taxi-hailing software.
The new version update completely extinguished the delusions of this group of people.
Therefore, it is normal for the popularity of the app to plummet.
Pei Qian originally thought that once this new version came out, it would definitely deal a heavy blow to the "Scholar Come Comes" project, and then hurry up to burn all the millions, and then everything would be fine.
Unexpectedly, how many investment companies are still chasing investment
Pei Qian was lost in thought.
Originally, he planned to burn the three million quickly, and then he could justifiably declare that the project failed and let it cool down naturally.
As a result, the money has not been spent, and someone is rushing to send the money. What should I do!
Pei Qian wanted to refuse, but there was no reason!
Mr. Li's Fuhui Capital has invested 1 million. Other investment companies want to invest, and the shares they want are not too many. The project "Come on Xueba" is currently relatively short of money...
What's the reason for refusing
Pei Qian thought about it for a moment, and there it was.
Just tell these companies the unreliable aspects of this project, and let them retreat in spite of difficulties
Thinking of this, Pei Qian said to He Desheng, "You should call these investment companies immediately and clarify two things."
"The first is to ask why they want to invest in the 'Scholar Come Come' project."
"Second, clarify all the current problems faced by 'Scholar Come Come' clearly, and explain the risks of this project in advance!"
The purpose of the first question is very simple. I just want to ask these people, how do you think the project "Coming Soon" is reliable? Can I change it
He Desheng was a little confused.
What does Mr. Pei mean
Why do these investment companies invest in the "Xueba Come" project? I definitely think this project is reliable!
This should be considered by these investment companies. They invest money, and we take money!
He Desheng thought hard, and said to himself, "Could it be that Pei always hopes that I can reverse the success of this project in this way? Deepen my understanding of the way of investment?"
"Well, that's the only reasonable explanation."
"But why does President Pei have to explain the risks of this project to all investors?"
Other people's projects are to fool investment companies as much as possible, reporting good news but not bad news, so that the other party can invest more money.
If you have leaked everything out, can people still invest money
He Desheng didn't want to understand too much, but when he saw Mr. Pei's unquestionable eyes, he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He just called these investment companies one by one.
Pei Qian listened silently on the side.
He Desheng was very obedient. In accordance with what Pei Qian had explained in advance, he first asked the other party's views on the project of "Coming Soon", and then talked at length about the problems the project was currently facing.
For example, the current active users are not yet able to support the market demand, the popularity and daily activities of the app have plummeted after the app is updated, the current functions are still relatively simple, and so on.
Sure enough, when they came up, they persuaded them to quit!
Before investing, these investment companies have to go through some research more or less, but no matter how much research, they cannot get some internal data.
Some investment companies simply see the education industry as an industry with good prospects. They see the background of Tengda and Fuhui Capital behind this company, and think this is a relatively reliable project, so they consider pursuing investment.
But now He Desheng has clearly explained the real situation faced by the project, especially emphasizing the huge risks faced by this project, which may be lost.
As a result, investment companies immediately retreated.
After making three calls in a row, the investment enthusiasm of the three investment companies on the opposite side was all extinguished.
