Chapter 1125 Happy Farm
Most of the Penguin employees had a great time stealing food.
During the testing process, the entire company became familiar with the game, and each employee received a task - to serve as a game experiencer.
If any employee can put forward useful suggestions or novel ideas, once adopted, they will be rewarded with a reward of 10,000 yuan.
Of course, playing farm games at work is allowed for the time being.
The penguin goes up and down and transforms into a food-stealing master. The superiors steal from their subordinates, and the subordinates steal from their superiors...
Every employee's face is filled with the joy of succeeding in stealing food and the disappointment of failing to steal food or being stolen.
As soon as the game was launched, Penguin built a complete game network internally.
Because the whole company is playing, there are so many dishes to steal, which maximizes the fun of this game.
After Xu Liang tied a dog to his farm, he quit the game still unsatisfied.
The memory of everyone stealing food from his previous life is still fresh. After Xu Liang came up with the game plan for "League of Legends", he gave the plan for "Happy Farm" to Penguin.
This casual game is not complicated, and it took Penguin half a year to make it.
Xu Liang tried it, and it was just like in his memory.
He took out his cell phone and called Bonima.
"Mr. Xu?"
"What are the data of "Farm Farm"?"
There was excitement in Ponima's tone.
"It's very good. The number of registered users has exceeded 500,000 in two days since its launch, and the number of people online at the same time has exceeded 120,000. Judging from user feedback, "Happy Farm" is very playable, has good user reviews, and has great growth potential. ”
"Have the Japanese, Korean and English versions been developed?"
"It has been developed. The Japanese, Korean and Traditional Chinese versions will be released in a week; the English version will be launched on the Facebook game channel in three days."
Facebook, like Penguin, is a pan-entertainment and community platform.
It's just that Facebook doesn't make games itself, it only promotes games.
Penguin not only makes its own games, but also promotes them.
“While releasing, don’t forget to improve the playability of the game.
For example, a small window can be designed on the game page to display the ranking of friends' farm levels to encourage players to have a competitive mentality. Wouldn't the active time of the game be increased?
As you play for a long time and there are more people, won’t the income from props fall?
Also, after all, "Farm Farm" is just a simple casual game. Over time, curiosity has passed, and fewer people have played it.
Therefore, the subsequent "Pistachio Garden" and "Happy Ranch" must also accelerate the research and development and launch them one after another to increase user stickiness. ”
"You can rest assured that the game department led by Ren Yuxin is very active. They have already implemented the research and development of "Pistachio Garden" and "Happy Ranch" and will launch them on the market in at most three months."
"That's good. Have you communicated with Hanhua about the listing?"
“We are currently discussing the details of the prospectus.”
"Send me an email when you have the results."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Liang started to deal with other work.
It's night time soon.
In the restaurant.
Xu Liang sat in the middle, Qiao Yuhui and Zhang Junning sat on the right, and Xu Meng sat on the right with Xu Wenqing and Xu Wenyu, who were three years old.
The two little guys are very close to their aunts, one on each side, holding a small bowl, and his little mouth is full.
"I'm going back to the capital in a few days. Do you want to go back with me?"
"No, I finally took a few days off so I won't go back."
"Holiday? Why did I hear Xiaoyang say that you ran away to avoid the blind date?"
When Xu Meng heard this, annoyance appeared on her pretty face.
"I'm only 24 years old, and Comrade Wang Lingxiang started trying to find a partner for me, and even mobilized Sister Xiaoyang to introduce me. I'm really annoyed."
After finishing his words, he looked at Xu Liang warily.
"My parents won't let you be a lobbyist, right?"
"My parents did tell me so, but you still have to make your own decisions about love and marriage. I won't interfere with you."
"Hehe, thank you, old man."
"Xiaomeng, if you find a boyfriend one day, I will keep an eye on you and never find a playboy like your brother." Qiao Yu said wisely.
"Thank you, Sister Yuhui. But if he dares to cheat, I will kill him."
Xu Meng made a scissor-like shape with her left hand, and her pretty face was fierce.
Seeing this, Xu Liang couldn't help but mourn for his future brother-in-law.
——
No. 1, Connaught Road Central, Hong Kong Central.
A black Mercedes slowly parked in the parking lot downstairs.
The car door opened, and a middle-aged man in a suit and gold-rimmed glasses stepped out.
Also getting off the bus was Wang Tao, who was wearing a gray sweatshirt and black sweatpants.
"Teacher, is this the headquarters of Hanhua?"
"To be precise, this is the headquarters of Hanhua International, which is mainly responsible for overseas investment business. Its management center is located in Beijing. Let's go, it's almost time, let's go in."
"Oh."
The two entered the gate.
Directly opposite the grand hall is a huge Hanhua logo on the wall.
On the left is the seating area, and on the right is the built-in landscape strip.
There were burly bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses at the door and in the lobby.
Come to the front desk.
"Hello, this is my business card. We have made an appointment with Mr. Xu."
The lady at the front desk took it and took a look.
"You two, please come with me."
There is a gate between the lobby and the elevator, and you must have a business card to pass.
The bodyguards with bulging waists and glaring eyes from both sides are not easy to mess with at first glance, and everyone who comes in and out behaves well.
After passing through the gate, the front desk took the two of them to the elevator and went all the way to the top floor.
Li Jinling, who received the news in advance, is already waiting here.
"Mr. Li, Mr. Wang, please come with me."
He led the two of them into Xu Liang's office in a businesslike manner.
"Mr. Xu, Mr. Li Zexiang and Mr. Wang Tao are here."
Xu Liang came forward with a smile.
Before he could speak, Li Zexiang took two hurried steps forward and stretched out his hands.
"Mr. Xu, I have admired his reputation for a long time. When I saw him today, he was indeed a dragon and a phoenix, worthy of his name."
He has been working hard in society for half his life, and he is not just a newbie Wang Tao.
The latter knew that Xu Liang was awesome, but had no idea how awesome he was.
But Li Zexiang is different.
He has his own business and knows how difficult it is to start a business.
He is even more aware of the value of becoming the richest man in Asia and the second richest man in the world after Bill Gates within seven years.
"Professor Li appreciates the award, please sit down."
The two sat down and Li Jinling brought tea.
After a brief chat, Xu Liang changed his eyes.
"Wang Tao, the last time we met, I made the conditions very clear.
Do you have any objections? ”
Wang Tao subconsciously glanced at his teacher.
Li Zexiang saw this and sighed in his heart.
I am indeed an excellent student, but I lack social experience.
With this glance, he revealed all his secrets.
Seeing this, Li Zexiang simply stopped hiding.
"Mr. Xu, we hope to obtain financing from Hanhua instead of direct acquisition;
In addition, in order to consolidate our management rights over the company, DJI will implement a dual-class shareholding structure.
Of course, the rights released to you by angel wheel can be more. ”
Xu Liang picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
"How much equity financing do you plan to raise? How much is the financing amount?"
"Angel round 20%, financing 2 million Huaxia coins."
Li Zexiang said.
“Is DJI worth 10 million now?”
"This is Sequoia's valuation for DJI, not ourselves. If Mr. Xu had not found DJI first because of his keen eye, we might have signed a contract with Sequoia."
Xu Liang's calm gaze slowly swept over the two of them.
Li Zexiang and Wang Tao quickly avoided it, not daring to look at him.
The atmosphere in the conference room instantly became depressing.
“With my current position, I rarely participate in mergers and acquisitions below US$1 billion.
The reason why I went to DJI last time was because I saw its name in Hanhua's survey report. I happened to be optimistic about the future of drones, so I went to DJI on a whim.
Of course, Mr. Wang Tao is indeed a very good engineer. And very forward-looking.
Your persistence in your dreams reminds me of my former self.
That’s why I wanted to acquire it.
Now that you are planning to raise your own funds, it is only human nature.
When DJI starts doing it, you will get more rewards.
But I really don’t have the patience to accompany DJI to grow slowly, and time doesn’t allow it.
Therefore, we can only cooperate again if we have the opportunity in the future. ”
Li Zexiang gave Wang Tao a look, signaling him to calm down.
"If Mr. Xu is not satisfied with the conditions, you can just raise the issue."
"When I met with Wang Tao last time, the conditions were made very clear. There is no need to repeat them. I also told you about my plans for the drone industry just now.
What I want is to invest a lot of money and quickly recruit a large R&D team to make drones.
Instead of using the tactics of adding fuel to the fire. ”
Xu Liang smiled and continued: "I think I have made it very clear this time."
Li Zexiang was silent for a moment.
"Mr. Xu, Hanhua's venture capital business is the best in China. Can we cooperate with Hanhua?"
"Of course.
Although Hanhua is a company founded by me, I am no longer responsible for its specific management. You can go to the Hanhua Pengcheng office to talk. ”
Li Zexiang nodded and stood up slowly.
"Then let's say goodbye first."
Xu Liang also stood up.
"Walk slowly...Sister Li, go see them off for me."
After Li Jinling nodded.
"You two, please come with me."
After the two nodded in greeting, they turned around and followed her out of the office.
Not long after, Li Jinling came back.
"Mr. Xu, are you giving up like this?"
"Everyone has their own ambitions, and we can't force it. ... But we can't give up on drones. You should contact the headhunter immediately. I need a CEO who understands drones.
Also, recruit a group of engineers and set up a research and development center as soon as possible. ”
"Understood."
If there is no Butcher Wang, then look for Butcher Li.
There are so many talents around the world, coupled with the huge resources he can provide now, and the experience he gained in his previous life, it is not difficult to replace DJI as the leader in drones.
——
On the way back to the car.
"Teacher, what should we do? Go to Sequoia for financing?" Wang Tao asked.
Li Zexiang sighed.
"Besides Xu Liang, we have no second choice."
"Why?"
Seeing his unconvinced look, Li Zexiang explained.
"The teacher admits that you are a genius, but no matter how talented you are, you still need help to achieve a career.
Your DJI company is now just a manual workshop without any results and needs a large number of people to support your research and development of drones.
Normally.
DJI should go through angel rounds, A rounds, B rounds, etc., raise funds step by step, and become stronger bit by bit.
But now you have a strong competitor.
With a net worth of more than 50 billion US dollars, Xu Liang, who controls technology companies such as Hongmeng, Kunlun, Penguin, Alibaba, and Facebook, can mobilize more abundant resources than you can imagine.
Ideally, DJI would raise 1 million HuaXia coins through its angel round and recruit a dozen engineers.
But Xu Liang can easily mobilize hundreds of millions, even billions, and hundreds of engineers to do research and development.
The gap between you is too big.
This is not competition, but crushing. ”
"Teacher, I admit that Xu Liang is a genius in finance and business, but he doesn't understand drones." Wang Tao said unconvinced.
"Of course he doesn't understand drones, and he is far behind you in this regard."
After seeing Wang Tao's expression soften, Li Zexiang changed the topic.
"Have you watched the recent Kunlun mobile phone launch conference video?"
"Look, it's a very cool mobile phone. I have already placed an order on Kunlun's official website, but it's a pity that I have to wait in line for the goods." Wang Tao was looking forward to it but also a little annoyed.
"Xu Liang doesn't know much about mobile phones, but he led his team to develop Kunlun and even beat Apple."
"You mean to say that the Kunlun mobile phone is the result of Xu Liang?"
"Yeah."
"Impossible. The chief engineer of Kunlun Mobile is Zhou Xiaoguang. This is the news on Kunlun's official website."
“When you go back, go to Youku and watch Qiubo’s interview video.”
"I watched the video, but he only said that to flatter the boss Xu Liang."
Young people always stubbornly believe in what they think is right.
Li Zexiang, who has been teaching and educating people for many years, is well aware of this and does not forcefully correct it.
I sighed inwardly.
"Maybe.
Let’s move on to drones.
If Xu Liang was not optimistic about the future of drones, how could he find you personally?
Obviously, he already has some application models and profit methods for drones in his mind, and he only wants to acquire them when he knows that they have great development prospects in the future.
Although you are also developing drones, you are only doing it out of idealism and do not have a clear and realistic plan.
Just muddle along.
Do you think you are comparable to Xu Liang, who is rich in resources and has a certain understanding of the future development of drones? ”
"I...?"
Although he was very proud and very confident in his talent, he was not a fool.
You probably know how abundant the resources a super-rich man ranked second in Forbes can mobilize.
I am definitely incomparable.
Seeing that he was wavering, Li Zexiang said quickly.
"There are two roads before you now.
First, agree to Xu Liang’s conditions.
In this way, you can immediately get 2 million and 5% of DJI's equity.
Second, agree to financing from Sequoia or Hanhua and start DJI yourself. ”
Wang Tao hesitated for a while.
"Teacher, which one should I choose?"
"The first one.
Sequoia and Hanhua are investment institutions, not charities, and the funds they give you are limited.
There is a high probability that they will not accept a dual-class share structure.
Unless you are willing to accept more stringent conditions, it is better to reduce the investment amount, listing time, etc. of the angel round.
And when DJI develops, they will give you Series A investment.
But under the fierce competition from Xu Liang, it is unknown whether DJI can develop.
The first one is the safest.
With the capital and connections brought by Xu Liang, you don't need to worry about the company's R&D funds, as long as you can do R&D safely.
Based on his understanding of humans and machines, there is a high probability that he will not interfere too much with you.
Once the company develops, it will go public.
Your 5% equity will be returned hundreds of times, and it is highly probable to become a billionaire. ”
Wang Tao's eyes flashed.
The wealth feast created by Hongmeng has long been a hot topic on the Chinese Internet, especially the listing of Bing, which caused a sensation around the world.
Although he has never been short of money since he was a child.
But it’s not like I’m not interested in money.
Billionaire, this word is too tempting.
"Teacher, shall we go back now?"
"Decided?"
"Yes. Drones are my ideal, and I don't want others to dictate my research."
Li Zexiang nodded, turned around at the corner and drove towards Hanhua International Center again.
Xu Liang was a little surprised by the reappearance of the two people, but he was more curious.
