To save the music festival, winning the championship is not too much.

meeting room.

Ma Tengyun and Hei Yuan, along with two assistants, sat opposite Shen Huakun and the head of the legal department.

Future Entertainment has never had a formal legal department. In recent days, it has hired a person named Zeng Dengke from a headhunting company.

Zeng Dengke is Shen Huakun's senior. He is in his forties. He had been working in a foreign company before. After being poached, he was directly promoted to the director of the legal department of Future Entertainment, a managerial level.

The two parties met, shook hands in a friendly manner, and then exchanged pleasantries.

Ma Tengyun suddenly sighed: "League of Legends is great, but even more powerful is your boss Xu Xuan. His reputation as a genius is well-deserved. He also designed this game, right?"

"Yes." Shen Huakun smiled and nodded: "He controls all the general directions of the company, as well as some weird ideas. In fact, I am just a decoration, as long as I can maintain the operation of the company."

Ma Tengyun smiled and did not continue the topic: "Whether it is "League of Legends" or other board and card games, you have no target to attract traffic. If you keep relying on star power, sooner or later there will still be bottlenecks."

Shen Huakun didn't say anything. He knew that there was no way the Penguin people would come today and not do something.

Ma Tengyun continued: "To make games in China, in addition to quality, you still need popularity. Whether you admit it or not, Penguin's platform is the largest and most popular place in the country. If "League of Legends" is developed by Penguin, it will definitely It’s not just a million signups.”

Ma Tengyun is confident that if he were to represent "League of Legends" by himself, he could reach tens of millions of users in one day.

Shen Huakun nodded, he believed this.

"Moreover, this game is likely to become a global phenomenon. So, are you prepared for this in future games?" Ma Tengyun asked.

Shen Huakun really couldn't nod.

Because what Ma Tengyun said is right.

This game is destined to be a world phenomenon. Therefore, it is almost impossible to improve the operation of various services and games simply by relying on future game platforms.

Today's future games are really just babies, and if they don't work well, they will go bankrupt.

If a company, especially a newly established company, does not have the ability to have projects that are too big for the company itself, the result can only be bankruptcy.

This is why Xu Xuan and Shen Huakun agreed to negotiate with Penguin.

Another point is that Xu Xuan understands that it is impossible to promote "League of Legends" globally just by relying on himself.

It’s also impossible to hold world-class competitions or anything like that.

So working with people is an essential step.

What is the purpose of angel round financing?

Does Xu Xuan really lack those millions of dollars?

no.

Xu Xuan wants to use the power of these capitals to prepare for the future spin-off of the game platform and its listing.

It can also be regarded as a warning to Penguin. Future games will not only belong to Xu Xuan, but also to Sequoia Capital and others.

So Shen Huakun knew what Ma Tengyun said today.

Both parties also understand that the grievances between them are based on conflicts of interest.

If there is no conflict of interest, cooperation is possible.

How can there be no conflict of interest?

"Mini World" is divided under the "Minecraft" derivatives, and has the words "Future Game Development" on it.

And subsequent updates will be controlled by Future Games.

As for Penguin Group, if they want to invest in future gaming platforms, their first step is to obtain the investment rights for "League of Legends".

No one will directly express what the subsequent thoughts are and what the face of capital is.

Anyway, at this time, it was impossible for Xu Xuan to completely break up.

Do you really think the hundreds of billions Penguin Group is so easy to bully?

Or do you think the Penguin Group worth hundreds of billions is so easy to defeat?

Xu Xuan is not stupid enough yet.

Therefore, Shen Huakun did not refute what Ma Tengyun said, but he also did not respond.

Seeing this situation, Ma Tengyun could only get straight to the point: "If we cooperate, we can let the QQ account be associated with the League of Legends, and Penguin Games can set up an access point and have certain agency rights. In this way, this can be used in a short time." It is not possible for a game to have tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of players."

"The game has already started to become a phenomenon in South Korea. If it becomes more popular in China, it is not impossible to become a phenomenon in the world. What do you think, Mr. Shen?"

Shen Huakun fully agreed, but still nodded and said: "Mr. Ma, I understand what you mean, but is this just what you want?"

Ma Tengyun smiled and said, "I am here today to represent Penguin's board of directors and Penguin's risk control."

what!

Shen Huakun was happy when he heard this.

Sure enough, as Xu Xuan had judged, Penguin wanted to take a stake, and would definitely encroach on future games step by step.

But, it’s not necessarily known who will swallow whom.

Now it looks like Xu Xuan’s small arms and legs, but I know what will happen in the next few years.

Shen Huakun nodded: "Let's take a look at our plan first. Our boss is discussing Series A financing with Sequoia Capital."

Ma Tengyun raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

Is this the beginning of Series A?

Doesn’t your boss know how to invest?

But since Shen Huakun said this, Ma Tengyun and the others could only take a look at their plan first.

...

At this time, in another office.

Gao Liyang of Sequoia Capital, Xiong Daiwen of IDG, He Chuzhi of Lead Capital, and Jiang Xuetong of Jiuyou Capital joined forces again.

Last time, Jiang Xuetong didn't like the kind of gambling agreement Xu Xuan talked about at all.

But who knew, it would only be more than a month.

Future Games actually launched League of Legends and it became a hit.

Now, South Korea can basically determine that it is a phenomenal game.

The number of domestic registrations on this day reached one million.

The bet with Xu Xuan has lost any meaning in continuing, because Xu Xuan has already won!

At this rate, registered users of future games will be able to reach the number of gambling agreements in just one month instead of half a year.

So Xu Xuan asked them to come today because he wanted money!

Xiong Daiwen signed the gambling agreement with a smile: "Although this does not comply with the regulations, we are still happy to sign it."

Gao Liyang rolled his eyes speechlessly: "If you do this, you will break the rules in the investment field."

"Don't say it so harshly, is it necessary to continue this gambling agreement? Besides, Penguin is coming in, are you still thinking about the money?" He Chuzhi said.

Jiang Xuetong was a little embarrassed.

Because during the angel round, they didn’t invest.

In other words, in just one month, Jiuyou Capital missed at least hundreds of millions in capital losses.

It can’t be said to be a loss, but a mistake of [-] million!

After signing, Xiong Daiwen asked Xu Xuan: "Do you really want Series A financing?"
