Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 225 Channel Prototype
The same words, spoken by people of different identities, naturally have different meanings, although it is surprising that Zhou Dongsheng is so young for a person at the helm of a capital institution.
But Zhou Dongsheng's words still touched Cai Haoyu's heart, and the second-year student soul in his heart seemed to be ignited.
Who doesn’t want to be a brave man who successfully challenges the dragon? As a college student entrepreneurial team, they chose domestic games as their entrepreneurial direction because they had some idealistic goals in their hearts that they wanted to achieve.
So far, although Mihayo's development speed is not fast, it has been moving in the direction they want. If they want to speed up this process, embracing capital is naturally the best choice.
Embracing capital itself is a process of seeking the skin of a tiger, and if Zhou Dongsheng can do what he said, not interfering with and fighting for the control of Mihayova, then it will undoubtedly be the most suitable capital for Mihayova.
Cai Haoyu smiled and asked, "If Mr. Zhou can practice what he preaches, then I think it will be difficult for us at Mihayo to find a reason to reject you. Our team can sell up to 20% of the shares."
"Of course, I always keep my word. The birth of a great company must require a great helmsman, and who else knows his company better than the founder?"
"Just like Apple, it was the reacceptance of its founder, Steve Jobs, that pushed the company toward greatness, rather than mediocrity."
Zhou Dongsheng said in a relaxed tone that this was an apt metaphor which made Cai Haoyu feel proud. Although he could not be compared with Jobs, this kind of compliment still sounded very comfortable.
"Although I dare not such a person is indeed the direction for my generation to learn from and work hard for. On behalf of Mihayo Company, I accept your investment."
Cai Haoyu stretched out his hand with a smile, and Zhou Dongsheng also smiled. The two people representing the company shook hands, which meant that the financing intention was finalized.
The rest of the things, such as signing contracts, would naturally be done by Lu Sifang. He was experienced in this regard. The so-called serving the boss wholeheartedly was reflected in these details.
"I guess Mr. Cai hasn't eaten yet? It's dinner time now. Please do us a favor and have dinner together to celebrate." Zhou Dongsheng took the initiative to invite.
"That's no problem at all. I'll call the other two partners of our team, and we can have a meal together to get to know each other better. How about that?" Cai Haoyu said with a smile.
Cai Haoyu also wanted to share this good news with his partners. After all, after the completion of this round of financing with a valuation of 1 billion, it was undoubtedly a milestone achievement for their startup company!
In just four years, from the time when the three of them as college students took out an interest-free loan of 100,000 yuan to start their own business, the company's valuation has now reached 1 billion yuan. Based on this valuation, the three of them can already be considered newly minted billionaires.
In four years, they have accomplished something that most people would never be able to achieve in their lifetime, but for them, this is just the beginning.
After all, they are only 28 years old this year, and the future is promising!
With such a large amount of funding, Cai Haoyu had more ideas to add to the "Honkai Impact 3" that he was currently promoting, and even had the urge to overturn it and redo it.
A masterpiece must go through a thousand trials and tribulations.
After Cai Haoyu called the other two partners of the team, the group set off together and chose the local cuisine restaurant that Huang Zheng recommended last time for dinner.
Both the grade and taste are just right, and it is naturally the perfect place for business meetings.
After requesting a large private room, the group sat down. With Cai Haoyu's introduction, Zhou Dongsheng also got to know Mihayo's other two partners, Liu Wei and Luo Yuhao.
The three people are all alumni of Jiaotong University and co-founded the company Mihayo. The three of them have their own clear division of labor in the company, complement each other's strengths, and manage Mihayo stably like an iron triangle.
However, compared to Cai Haoyu's talkativeness, the other two people were a bit tech geeky and socially anxious. They sat in their seats as quiet as chickens and rarely interrupted.
"With this large amount of funding provided by Mr. Zhou, it is of great help to our ongoing development of Honkai Impact 3. Before, we were worried about insufficient funds and were considering which part of the investment to cut. Now we can start with a big effort."
Although Zhou Dongsheng had never come into contact with the "Honkai Impact 3" series of mobile games in his previous life, since he was able to support Mihayo's continuous progress and spent a huge amount of money to produce "Genshin Impact", a mobile game that once swept the world, he must have his outstanding features.
Although Zhou Dongsheng has never played the game "Yuan Shen", it is so popular that you can easily receive information related to it even if you don't play it.
Even in the professional League of Legends arena, there are professional players who are affectionately called "Brother Yuanshen" by players because they are too obsessed with playing the game "Yuan Shen" and perform poorly in the game.
Even for the medal of victory, many people suggested that one third of it be given to Mihayo. The phrase "Thank you, Mihayo" quickly went viral along with the popularity of the championship, allowing Mihayo, who had nothing to do with the championship, to pick up a lot of popularity for nothing.
With the relevant information in his mind, Zhou Dongsheng picked up his teacup and said with a smile, "Then I'll wait and see. I hope that Mr. Cai can use my funds wisely and launch a high-quality hit mobile game."
"In addition to being able to provide Mr. Cai with a large sum of funds, I also own a media company that focuses on anchor brokerage business. Currently, I have several top anchors in the industry."
"We are all family members. We can also promote Mr. Cai's mobile games for free. After all, on the Internet, even good wine will not be appreciated if it is not well known."
As Zhou Dongsheng gains more and more capital, projects that seem to have nothing to do with each other may be more connected to each other!
In the Internet age, traffic seems to be king, but the essence of traffic is ultimately channels. No matter how large the traffic is, it still needs channels to circulate.
The reason why Tenda is invincible is that it has mastered the most important social channel on the Internet.
Mastering the channels is the foundation for becoming a big boss, and the many capitals that Zhou Dongsheng now possesses, if they can be connected to each other, may serve as a channel!
"Okay, then I wish us a happy cooperation. Our Mihayo will definitely not let the investors down." Upon hearing this, Cai Haoyu smiled and raised his wine glass.
"Happy cooperation! " Zhou Dongsheng smiled and drank tea instead of wine.
After finalizing the investment intention, the meal was enjoyed in a harmonious atmosphere. Both the host and the guests had a great time. They then agreed on a time to sign the contract the next day before ending the meal happily.
Zhou Dongsheng was naturally in a good mood as he had finalized another major investment.
As the saying goes, when you are well fed and warm, you will think about others... Looking at the beautiful Li Jiana standing beside him, Zhou Dongsheng hugged her and said, "We have concluded a big deal today. Let's go back to the hotel to celebrate."
"The boss is annoying~" Li Jiana said coquettishly, showing a knowing smile. There was no wine in her two deep dimples, but it made Zhou Dongsheng, who was allergic to alcohol, drunk.
