Rebirth of the Wild Age

If Song Weiyang said that he was going to do a big job and wanted to make the world's best online game, then more than half of the people in Xishanju would run away and respond directly to Boss Song's call regardless of anything.

When the domestic online game industry was booming, programmers from major studios were poached crazily, and Xishanju was also poached a lot. Even the first project leader of Jian Wang 1 resigned halfway. So don't expect the loyalty of these employees. Except for a few who value love, righteousness and ideals, others can be dug out with money. If you can't do so, it only means that the money you give is not enough.

However, Song Weiyang made it very clear that he wanted to create a rough and simple copycat online game with empty and rubbish content that would definitely make money.

This sentence made many programmers retreat. In the end, one-third of the research and development team of the War of Gods and Demons project team came, and two-thirds of the core operation team came. A total of 18 people were willing to follow Song Weiyang mess around. For this reason, Song Weiyang gave Jinshan a compensation of 300,000 yuan, which is equivalent to the transfer fee of these people.

When these 18 people were going through the resignation procedures, Song Weiyang flew directly to the capital to meet Chi Yufeng, the boss of Hongen Education Group.

Chi Yufeng has just won the title of Top Ten Outstanding Youths in China's Software Industry. He is only 30 years old this year. He graduated from the Department of Chemistry of Tsinghua University. Who knows how he went to engage in educational software, and he also devoted himself to the game industry early.

Zulong studio was invested and founded by Chi Yufeng. In the future, he will also establish Perfect World. His works include Perfect World, Wulin Biography, Zhu Xian and so on. Even the movie 33 Days of Broken Love has him investment.

Song Weiyang didn't know about Chi Yufeng and Perfect World. The reason why he made this trip was because Zulong Studio was very powerful. It released China's first 3D real-time strategy game Freedom and Glory two years ago. It is also the second (possibly third) 3D real-time strategy game in the world.

In the field of 3D games, Zulong Studio is recognized as the number one in China, and has long had its own 3D game engine.

Song Weiyang asked Lei Jun which company in China was the best in making 3D games, and Rebus directly recommended Zulong Studio.

Song Weiyang intends to walk on two legs, let Jinshanlai's team copy Legend, and at the same time acquire Zulong Studio, let it develop large-scale 3D online games, and see if it can strengthen World of Warcraft in a few years.

Hong En Education Group, General Manager Office.

Three days ago, Chi Yufeng was very surprised and pleasantly surprised when he received Song Weiyang's invitation to visit. He rejected all social engagements today, and just sat in the company waiting for Song Weiyang's visit. When the secretary knocked on the door and entered, Chi Yufeng got up immediately, hurried over to shake hands and said, Mr. Song is here, making the humble house luxuriant!

Where, Boss Chi is too polite. Song Weiyang smiled and shook hands.

Chi Yufeng turned sideways and said, Mr. Song, please sit down.

The two sat down next to the sofa, and Song Weiyang said: Mr. Chi's business is booming recently. Nowadays, computers are becoming more and more popular, and educational software has a bright future.

Small fights can't be compared with Mr. Song. Chi Yufeng said modestly.

Song Weiyang said: I am particularly optimistic about the educational software industry. If I didn't have so much energy, I would definitely invest in it.

It's a good thing that Mr. Song didn't get involved, otherwise our business would be snatched away. Chi Yufeng said the scene, but he was a little puzzled in his heart. Could it be that Song Weiyang wanted to invest in Hong En Education Group?

Song Weiyang didn't explain why he came, and just chatted with Chi Yufeng there.

After chatting for more than 20 minutes, Chi Yufeng finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked, I don't know what Mr. Song is looking for me today?

Song Weiyang said: Oh, I almost forgot, I want to acquire Zulong Studio.

Chi Yufeng almost fell to the ground when he heard the words, Nima chatted for a long time about educational software, and actually came to buy a game studio. He immediately expressed his attitude: Zulong Studio is not for sale, not for sale!

One million! Song Weiyang said.

It's really not for sale. Chi Yufeng said.

Song Weiyang said, 2 million.

Chi Yufeng smacked his lips: I invested in Zulong Studio at the beginning, firstly to support the entrepreneurship of the juniors, and secondly because I love games...

3 million! Song Weiyang said.

Chi Yufeng suddenly changed his words: Let me think about it again.

Song Weiyang stood up and said, 5 million, this is the highest price, if it doesn't work, I'll leave.

Wait a minute, Chi Yufeng quickly stopped, Beforehand, I only have 70% of the studio's shares.

That's enough. Song Weiyang laughed.

Chi Yufeng only invested 200,000 yuan at the beginning. After more than three years, although the games of Zulong Studio are well received, they are not very profitable, and the profits are taken away by pirates. After excluding various expenses, Zulong Studio's net profit is less than 100,000 yuan, and it is very rare to be able to maintain no loss.

Now that Song Weiyang suddenly bought 5 million yuan, Chi Yufeng should be very happy, after all, there is a super high return of 25 times.

The problem is that Song Weiyang came here to discuss business in person, which caused Chi Yufeng to have other thoughts. He tentatively asked: Mr. Song doesn't have Jinshan? Jinshan's Xishanju studio is the best game studio in mainland China. Why are you still interested in Zulong?

Song Weiyang said with a smile: I disagree with Jinshan's management.

Disagreement? Chi Yufeng was stunned, Are you the major shareholder?

Song Weiyang said: It's just that there are differences of opinion on the game, so I selected a group of people from Xishanju, and I plan to recruit another group of people to form a brand new game company. Don't think about those messy things, I like it very much. Playing games and setting up a game company is purely a hobby. I will not buy Zulong if it exceeds 5 million yuan. You should be very clear that 70% of the shares of Zulong Studio are not worth 5 million yuan at all. I am considered super high Acquired at a premium!

Chi Yufeng asked: Zulong's advantage is 3D technology. Mr. Song wants to make 3D games?

I have this idea, Song Weiyang said, If you don't want to sell it, then I'll find another studio. Anyway, 3D technology can be slowly developed.

Chi Yufeng always felt that something was wrong, and said, For 2 million yuan, I will sell you 50% of Zulong's shares.

Hahaha, Song Weiyang laughed out loud, Boss Chi, you think I've made some big moves, so you want to take this opportunity to hitch a ride?

Chi Yufeng didn't feel embarrassed about being exposed, so he smiled and said: Who doesn't know that Mr. Song's business is always profitable, and he has never lost money in these years.

They are all human beings!

When this person was studying at Tsinghua University, he started selling newspapers in his sophomore year. If it was just like this, he would be a newsboy at most, and he would not earn much money after working so hard. So he teamed up with many classmates to do it together, and all processes were scaled up. Not only was it easy, but the monthly income of each partner actually reached 300 yuan. That was in 1990.

In the third year of junior year, Chi Yufeng was also known as the No. 1 student stockholder in Beijing. He used the money he earned from selling newspapers to speculate in stocks, and quickly accumulated a net worth of tens of thousands of yuan. But he soon encountered a big bear market, and within half a year he lost all his money. When he was in his senior year, he partnered with others and raised more than 10,000 yuan to do color inkjet painting. In the end, he was deceived by others, and he still owed foreign debts when he graduated.

This person, like Song Weiyang in his previous life, is the kind of person who can't sit still, even if he bumps into the south wall, he doesn't look back.

After graduating, he joined Procter \u0026 Gamble as a technician, and within half a year he was promoted to assistant to the general manager, and he was sent to the United States for training. This is tantamount to being trained by a multinational company. But Chi Yufeng resigned and ran to resell computer accessories, standing at the counter and sleeping on the floor to survive, and once became the largest computer hardware supplier in Shencheng.

Under such circumstances, Chi Yufeng felt that selling hardware had no future and was always controlled by others. He switched to educational software again, and his self-developed English learning software has long dominated the sales list of domestic educational software.

This kind of old fritters is not easy to fool.

Song Weiyang actually doesn't care about cooperating with others. He frowned and said: To be honest, the game company I established has more than one studio. Even if you keep part of the equity in Zulong Studio, you can only get a small part of the profit. Moreover, I plan to slowly raise Zulong Studio, and will continue to invest large sums of money in development, and will not release real works until at least five years later. Even if you keep 30% of the shares, after several capital injections, you may It will also be diluted to only 1%.

Then how about I invest more? Chi Yufeng asked.

Song Weiyang smiled and said, You have so much confidence in me?

Chi Yufeng said with a dead skin and a face: Eat meat with Boss Song.

Song Weiyang said: Then I won't hide it. I plan to let Zulong Studio develop a large-scale 3D online game. The development cycle is about four years, and the research and development funds are 50 million to 100 million. If you are willing to invest in this This game, I welcome you to cooperate together.

50 million to 100 million R\u0026D funds? Chi Yufeng finally couldn't keep calm, because it was beyond his imagination.

Although Jinshan's Warrior of Gods and Demons is so popular, the promotion cost is also high. Due to the slow speed of the Internet, the number of online users is stuck and does not increase very much. It was not until January this year that Jinshan barely recovered its various upfront costs. Up to now, its net profit is less than 2.5 million yuan. This year, it can earn 8 million yuan if it keeps maintaining enough online users.

This is already the most profitable online game in China, and other companies have not earned so much.

Therefore, Chi Yufeng couldn't even imagine the concept of tens of millions of R \u0026 D funds for a game, and his total personal assets barely exceeded 100 million.

Chi Yufeng swallowed and said: Although I don't understand Mr. Song's operation very well, I am sure you have your own ideas, and I also believe in your business vision. I will sell it to you Zulong Studio for 1 million yuan. 30% of the shares, you leave me 40%. Even if it is diluted to 1% in the future, then I will accept it, and at least I can take a ride.

Okay, as long as you're happy, but I don't promise to make money absolutely. Song Weiyang said.

Chi Yufeng said: It doesn't matter, anyway, I only invested 200,000 yuan in Zulong, and now I have made a profit.

Half a month later, Hu Geng, who was working as the moderator of the children's community on a children's website, suddenly received an email: Hi Mr. Hu, I'm Song Weiyang, I saw some novels written by you on the Internet, and I I am very interested in this. I plan to make a large-scale 3D online game based on the content of this novel, and hire you as the main planner of the game. If you agree, please reply to my email as soon as possible.”

Are liars so rampant now? I'm paying back Bill Gates. Hu Geng deleted the email amusedly, considering whether to adapt the game plan into a novel.

These days, both cats and dogs want to make games. Hu Geng's children's website also set up a project to make games last year, and let him be the main planner of the game.

Hu Geng rummaged through Shan Hai Jing, set up various camps and characters, and even wrote a complete story outline. He wanted to create an Internet-based Magic card game based on Western fantasy novels and Pokemon .

But not long ago, the website suddenly announced that it would abandon the game project, and Hu Geng's efforts for more than half a year were all in vain.

In addition to his grief, Hu Geng used the pseudonym Wild Fox under the Tree to write part of the stories in the game planning case as novels and publish them on the Internet. These essays turned out to be very popular, so Hu Geng had a new idea, he wanted to create a Lord of the Rings that belonged to the Chinese!

Now that the novel has not been officially written, the liar has come to the door.
