Baidu is also quite satisfied with the company split and share conversion. Although we are a partnership, their goal from the beginning was to occupy the magpie's nest. However, Li Mu strictly guarded against the capital level, which made them very difficult for a while. It is difficult to find a breakthrough point.
The development process of a company after financing is like many people sailing on the sea together. Everyone makes the ship bigger and farther. If the founder operates correctly, he can always be at the helm. However, the capital on the ship is always ready to move, and some Sometimes, they don't want the sailing to be too smooth. Instead, they hope to have a big hole in the hull, so as to disrupt the rhythm of the helmsman, distract the helmsman's energy, and even force the founder to sell more money when helping the founder solve the problem. big interests, and even give up control.
It's just that Li Mu didn't give them such an opportunity. He used Baidu to lay a solid foundation for Tieba, which is equivalent to laying the foundation for a skyscraper. Baidu can no longer help the superstructure. If they withdraw, they can go all out to build the upper layer. Building.
I made a call to Kong Lingyu. I had no other requirements, but that the development of Personal Space and Happy Farm must be completed as soon as possible. Moreover, the technical threshold of the Happy Farm game is too low. Once it explodes with huge social potential and becomes popular all over the Internet, , will definitely attract a large number of companies to imitate. The most easily copied things on the Internet are creativity and design. Li Mu understands that as long as a relatively experienced designer is able to copy the design of Happy Farm at a glance, he can come up with it. An almost identical version, so the real key to success lies in creativity.
Li Mu’s goal is to first develop a 1.0 version, and then develop multiple upgraded versions based on 1.0. Each version will bring new creative upgrades, such as increased crops, decorative props, and functional props. increase, and at the same time, various promotional activities will be planned so that imitating companies will never be able to keep up.
For example, we first launched Happy Farm, which could only grow land and steal vegetables. Once someone imitated it, we immediately launched a variety of cartoon costumes and functional props, one of which was the trump card: fertilizer.
Normal crop planting requires a fixed amount of time. Even if the user guarantees online time, each round of planting and harvesting will be very timely, and his upgrade process will not be too fast. However, it is different once fertilizer is released. It can be doubled or even counted. Doubling the time for crops to mature is the most important tool for Happy Farm. There are also many types of fertilizers, including ordinary fertilizers, high-speed fertilizers, and rapid fertilizers.
In the Happy Farm of later generations, the cost of stimulating users to share games and inviting players is extremely low. Given a few packages of virtual fertilizer, those persistent users will want to attract all their friends. It is extremely attractive.
In addition to chemical fertilizers, the props in the reserve even include insecticides, herbicides, and friendly fertilizers. You can also raise dogs to prevent friends from stealing vegetables. Friendly fertilizers are very useful. They can make your friends' crops mature an hour earlier, that is, It is said that players can use this fertilizer to make their friends miss the harvest time and steal his crops immediately.
Not only has hidden strength been reserved in terms of props, but Li Mu has also left many tricks in the game's logic, such as the hidden crop system, pet upgrade system, land upgrade system, random reward system when plowing the land, and even the outline of the ranch has been proposed. , once the farm comes online, the ranch begins to develop.
To sum up, all the technical reserves are to ensure that no competitor can pose a threat to the farm game during its peak life cycle of more than half a year.
Kong Lingyu also knows that the stakes are high. The valuation that Series B can achieve depends almost on how influential the game can be, so he leads the team to work overtime day and night, just to complete all development work as soon as possible.
Li Mu invited Lin Qingya and Lawyer Chen to have a meal. After the meal, he handed the contract to Lin Qingya and asked her to take it back to the company for filing and safekeeping.
In the afternoon, the 4S store called Li Mu. The car was repaired and he could pick it up at any time.
Li Mu simply went straight to the 4S store and picked up the car first. Chen Ze called him again and said that Fatty Wang had started operating Sugar Club. The money for everyone's investment could be sent to him first, and everyone would follow up. Don't worry, Fatty Wang will take care of everything himself.
Li Mu needs to pay 500,000 yuan. This money is not a problem. He can transfer it directly from the plug-in income account to Fatty Wang. As long as the money does not go directly into his own account, there will be no danger. It is really good to throw it out as an investment. Nothing could be better.
However, Li Mu thought of Lin Lin again and wondered if this girl would still invest after several conflicts.
Just when he was about to ask Chen Ze, Chen Ze told Li Mu on the phone: "Originally, I was planning to arrange for everyone to have a meal together, but Lin Lin was really stubborn and said she didn't want to see you. During this time, I just We won’t organize meetings with shareholders, let’s all make appointments privately.”
Li Mu hummed and asked him: "Then will she still vote?"
Chen Ze said: "I voted, but she still said that she is not done with you. I'm afraid she will have to cause trouble for you in the future, but you should give her a little concession. Lin Lin is willful in doing things, but she is still measured. Please bear with her a little more."
Li Mu agreed. He didn't plan to fight with Lin Chu last time, but Zhang Kexuan next to him also had the temper of a young man. He couldn't bear it and kicked him. If they meet again in the future, naturally he can't intensify the conflict, otherwise even Chen Ze It doesn't look good here.
Then Li Mu contacted Fatty Wang and asked him for his payment account number. Then he called Zhao Kang and asked him to transfer 500,000 yuan to him first. The legendary overlord can make millions in a month, which is an unexpected fortune. After the money was invested, Li Mu didn't feel bad at all.
…
Li Mu spent an afternoon writing the outline of "Oldboy" into a script of about 10,000 words, with a tentative length of forty minutes. This script is very popular for Li Mu, especially when paired with "Oldboy" "When you listen to this song, you can really feel the desperate impulse for the ideal. For men, apart from women, the most exciting thing should be the ideal.
After the script was written, Li Mu quickly emailed it to Zhang Kexuan and Du Wei, but he didn't know if Du Wei's sister in the United States would nod.
Regardless of whether Du Wei's sister will agree or not, the filming of "Oldboy" will begin to enter the formal preparation stage. All the on-site crew members have not yet had a clue. They must quickly start to gather the team. Photography, recording, props and stage management are the two most important With the team, the micro-film has a low budget and few tasks, and other aspects are easy to talk about.
The investment problem is not big, Makino Technology is the title sponsor, and Xu Jiaming can help with the rest. He should have a lot of business connections in Yanjing. He can use the name of Simple Plan to find some corresponding merchants to sponsor some advertising fees. The whole movie The cost of the film is all figured out.
Li Mu wants to go directly to the Yenching Film Academy and try to get the whole team together while he is there and choose roles. The second male lead has not been decided yet, but there are also a few other characters with lines. Dig from film school students.
I called Du Wei and told her that the script had been sent to her email and asked her to forward it to her sister for review as soon as possible. After doing this, it was getting dark outside. Zhang Kexuan called and said that Chen Wan would be back tonight. I have to work overtime. I was originally scheduled to have dinner at seven o'clock, but now I have to change it to eight o'clock.
Zhang Kexuan said it was still early and he would drive over to pick up Li Mu. Li Mu said that his car had been repaired and brought back, and he could just drive there by then.
Zhang Kexuan didn't insist anymore. He asked Li Mu again for the name and address of the hotel, and then hung up the phone.
The restaurant for dinner in the evening was chosen near Yanjing TV Station. Li Mu arrived at the hotel ten minutes early and waited with Zhang Kexuan for a while. Chen Wan arrived out of breath at around 8:10.
The first time Zhang Kexuan saw Chen Wan, he said, "Why did you lose weight just a few days after coming to Yanjing?"
Li Mu also noticed that Chen Wan had become a little thinner, and even her complexion was not as bright as before.
Chen Wan smiled, sat down across from the two of them, glanced at Li Mu, with tenderness in her eyes, and said, "I'm too busy at work and have to work overtime every day."
Zhang Kexuan said: "Even if the interns work hard, I have never seen anyone as busy as you. If not, I will ask a friend if I have any connections in Yanjing Taiwan to say hello to you."
Chen Wan said: "No, there's nothing I can do about being busy. After this period of time, it should be better when the filming arrangements are finalized."
Li Mu asked her: "What's going on with the appearance? Aren't you the assistant host when you applied for the job, and now they still ask you to do odd jobs?"
Chen Wan explained: "It is difficult for newcomers to appear on camera, and the host of our show is a bit targeted at me, deliberately suppressing my appearance. The training for other newcomers to appear on camera has been completed long ago, but now we are still arranging various other The job is given to me, so I can only hold on for a while and see.”
Li Mu frowned and asked her: "After a professional assistant host joins a TV station, how long will it take for him to appear on camera?"
Chen Wan said: "It will take at least a month. I'm not even a month old yet."
Saying that, Chen Wan shrugged and said: "The key is that even if others cannot appear on camera for the time being, they have been making preparations related to the camera. When the time comes, they will basically be able to appear on camera smoothly, but I am not scheduled to be on camera now." Instead of preparing, I have been doing assistant work for the anchor."
Zhang Kexuan said dissatisfiedly: "You are the assistant host, not the host assistant. If you change the order, the nature of the work is very different."
Chen Wan nodded and smiled: "Yes, but there is nothing we can do about it. She is the senior. She has been the host of this show since its inception. The director has to look at her face in many things. She doesn't want me to appear on the scene now. Maybe It’s probably because I have a strong desire to protect this program, which is understandable.”
Li Mu asked her: "What's the name of the show?"
"Extraordinary interviews." Chen Wan said: "It is a celebrity interview program. Each episode invites a celebrity to come and participate in the interview. They talk live, ask some questions, and do some interactions. If they are singers, they sing two songs live. That’s basically it.”
