Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 223 First Meeting with Cai Haoyu
When the plane landed at Hongqiao International Airport, Zhou Dongsheng could no longer remember how many times he had come to the Magic City.
Zhou Dongsheng has gradually become familiar with this city. This pearl city located in the East is also a city of opportunities for Zhou Dongsheng.
Whether it is the shares of Pinxixi that have already been acquired, or the shares of Mihayova, the target of this acquisition, they will become the most valuable assets in Zhou Dongsheng's hands in the future.
As he invested in industries in Shanghai one after another, his frequency of traveling to this city became more and more frequent, so frequent that Zhou Dongsheng even considered whether to set up an office here.
As a person, once he has a large sum of money, he will always think about how to spend it. Even in this extravagant and glamorous city, Zhou Dongsheng now has the capital to party every night.
Of course, if you provoke some big shots whom you can't afford to offend, you still have to kneel. After thinking about it, it is better for you to be cautious.
Just as Zhou Dongsheng was daydreaming, Lu Sifang beside him smiled and reported: "Boss, I have already made an appointment with Mihayo Company. Shall we go directly there?"
"Okay, then let's finish the work first. If it's done, I'll treat everyone to a good meal. If it's not done..." Zhou Dongsheng paused, and everyone couldn't help but feel nervous.
Don’t be fooled by Zhou Dongsheng’s youthful appearance and easy-going appearance. However, the boss is still the boss after all. He will always give people a sense of pressure from his status. The boss doesn’t need to show it deliberately, and subordinates will put psychological pressure on themselves.
"Even if this doesn't work out, I'll still treat you to a good meal. After all, man is made of iron and food is made of steel. You'll be hungry if you don't eat." Zhou Dongsheng joked with a smile, and then changed the subject.
"It's this bonus. If it's necessary, it should be deducted. Our company is fair and just. We have clear rewards and punishments. Is that okay?"
Lu Sifang forced a smile and said, "No problem, the boss is right!" All the employees nodded, "Yeah, right, right."
You are the boss, so whatever you say is right. However, what Zhou Dongsheng said does make sense. After all, running a company is not charity, and it is impossible to support a bunch of idle people.
"Let's go." Zhou Dongsheng called out and walked in front. This time, Li Jiana was much more thorough and had already booked several business cars in advance.
After getting on the bus, they headed straight to their destination, Mihayo Company.
After nearly an hour, several cars stopped in front of an office building on Yishan Road in Xuhui District. Three big words "Mihayo" were hung outside the building.
After launching two mature "Honkai Impact 3rd" series mobile games in succession, Mihayo has now become a small scale company. "Honkai Impact 3rd" generated more than 60 million in revenue for Mihayo last year alone!
The goal of breaking through 100 million in sales this year is not difficult at all for Mihayo today and is completely within reach.
Although it is still a step away from being a big gaming company like Yuanshen Mobile, its current size is no longer considered a small workshop.
However, in the huge domestic game market, there are countless game companies with only tens of millions in revenue, so many that even if Mihayo is drowned in them, it would not be too conspicuous.
There are thousands of brave men who challenge the dragon, but how many of them can actually do it? Only the dragon will live forever.
The group came to the front desk of Mihayo Company, and the girl at the front desk asked with a smile: "Hello, who are you?"
Lu Sifang said openly, "We are from Dongsheng Investment, and we came here to discuss something with Mr. Cai."
"Okay! I know you're coming over, and Mr. Cai has been waiting for you for a long time. He asked me to notify him as soon as you arrive. I'll notify Mr. Cai right away!"
The girl at the front desk was delighted and hurriedly informed Mr. Cai. But a moment later, a hearty laugh came from far away, "Hello, hello, you must be Mr. Lu from Dongsheng Investment, nice to meet you, please come in!"
A young man with a gentle appearance came up to us. He had an ordinary look and at first glance he looked no different from a college student. However, his sword-like eyebrows made his eyes look particularly bright and impressive.
This person is obviously Cai Haoyu, one of the founders of Mihayova.
When Cai Haoyu received the invitation from Dongsheng Investment, he was quite surprised. After all, this was the first time that Mihayo had received attention from capital.
Although the "Honkai Impact 3" series IP has now received a certain market response, whether it is the immature mobile game field or the unpopular two-dimensional mobile game direction, Mihayo's achievements are not impressive.
Although Mihayo stands out among the group of college student entrepreneurs, it is still an unknown newbie in the world of capital.
In addition to receiving a 100,000 yuan interest-free loan to encourage college students to start their own businesses, Mihayo's funds basically come from the pockets of several founders and the cash flow brought by the "Honkai Impact 3" series.
Therefore, Cai Haoyu personally attaches great importance to the invitation from Dongsheng Investment. After all, being favored by capital is also a kind of affirmation for Mihayo.
Lu Sifang smiled and took the initiative to reach out and shake hands with Cai Haoyu. "You must be Mr. Cai, I have heard of you for a long time. I didn't expect you to be so young. You are indeed a young and promising person."
Even though the real boss Zhou Dongsheng was right behind him, Lu Sifang, who was not the first time to "partner" with Zhou Dongsheng, was already well aware of his boss's bad taste.
Therefore, this action is not considered as taking over someone else's business.
The group arrived at the reception room. Cai Haoyu's attitude was very enthusiastic. After a few greetings, Cai Haoyu took the lead in asking questions, and his questions were very direct.
"This is the first time that Mihayo has received the attention of investors. I wonder how Mr. Lu noticed our small mobile game studio?"
Lu Sifang is naturally confident about this, "Our boss is very optimistic about the prospects of the mobile game market , especially the two-dimensional mobile games, which is still a vast undeveloped blue ocean.
The "Honkai Impact 3rd" launched by Mihayo last year not only achieved a brilliant annual revenue of over 60 million, but also established the status of the "Honkai Impact 3rd" series IP in the two-dimensional mobile game market."
"Although Mihayo is not a big company in the current domestic game market, it has already broken away from the ranks of small workshops, and our boss is very optimistic about Mihayo's future development, so we came to us."
Lu Sifang expounded his views in a clear and organized manner. His thorough homework was reflected in the data, which also allowed Cai Haoyu to fully feel their "sincerity" in coming prepared.
"Although we have achieved some success at Mihayo, there are thousands of game companies like us in China. Why did Dongsheng Investment only take a fancy to us?"
After thinking for a moment, Cai Haoyu asked a tricky question and emphasized again: "I am very curious, why did your company choose our Mihayo? I hope Mr. Lu can give me an accurate answer."
As a technician, Cai Haoyu also has the stubbornness of a technician in his bones. Although being favored by capital is a kind of recognition, Cai Haoyu will not give up the chips in his hand easily.
After all, Mihayo may just be a money-making tool for capital, but for their entrepreneurial team, it is a real business.
The second-year slogan “Tech geeks save the world” is not just something you shout out casually!
Perhaps, this is why Mihayo in the future will choose to reject the olive branch thrown by Tenda.
