Huayu timely rain, they forced me to be the top star

Chapter 336: The worship of the father of the original god! Even if you are Mr. Lei, you have to pay more
where am I?
who am I?
what am i doing?
In the reception room of a studio in a building on Cangwu Road, XH District, Shanghai, the three founders of miHoYo, Cai Haoyu, Liu Wei and Luo Yuhao, were having some brain freezes at the moment.

As programmers, game company entrepreneurs, and idiots, they have limited knowledge of the entertainment industry, but they are not unfamiliar with Zhang Yang, and can even be said to be very familiar with him.

Be it the achievements in the entertainment industry, the vision in investing in movies, or the speeches made after becoming the spokesperson for Redmi, everything makes them admire him extremely.

But they never imagined that the object of their admiration was actually the boss behind the investment in their studio last year.

It feels very mysterious!

"Hello." Zhang Yang took off his sunglasses and smiled at the three "Fathers of Genshin Impact" and the founders of the future 100 billion market value game company.
"I heard from Sister Xiang Wan that you must meet me."

"Is there something you need to tell me?"

The three of them looked at each other in silence.

In fact, they just want to satisfy their curiosity.

At the beginning of last year, their game company was short of funds due to various reasons and was on the verge of collapse, so they urgently sought investment.

At this time, Jin Zhicheng, one of the four founders of the company, received a job offer from Cisco. Considering the stability of his personal development, he chose to withdraw from the company and prepared to transfer his 1.3% stake to Liu Wei and Luo Yuhao for 13 yuan.

But just one day before signing the contract, Jin Zhicheng expressed his desire to transfer his shares to an investment company called "Timely Rain" for RMB 100,000.

The four of them convened an extraordinary shareholders' meeting and made a resolution, agreeing that the shareholders would transfer Jin Zhicheng's shares and give up the right of first refusal.

At that time, they were very curious about "Ji Shi Yu" and wanted to meet the boss or the person in charge, but they were rejected. Until an investment company called "Hangzhou Mi Yi" approached them and expressed its willingness to invest one million, but wanted 25% of the shares.

Faced with this rare investment opportunity, they certainly wanted to agree, but they could not accept the number of shares to be transferred.

Of course, they did not forget to convey this matter to the "Timely Rain" investment company and discuss the matter together.

At this time, Mo Xiangwan appeared with a two million investment, saying that he only wanted 10% of the shares.

The three of them discussed it and decided that each of them would put up a certain amount of shares to undertake this investment.

At this point, Cai Haoyu holds 39% of the shares, Liu Wei holds 19.6% of the shares, Luo Yuhao holds 18.4% of the shares, and JiShiYu Investment Company holds a total of 25% of the shares, becoming the second largest shareholder.

MiHoYo received two million in funding to develop games and was finally no longer strapped for cash.

Last October, the studio successfully launched the mobile game "Honkai Gakuen" and achieved profitability.

And now, after more than a year of reinvestment and development, they have new plans.

Thinking of this, Cai Haoyu spoke as a representative: "Mr. Yang Zhang, do you know about the development of our studio?"

"No need to call me Mr. Zhang." Zhang Yang took the initiative and poured a cup of tea for the three of them. He smiled and said, "Although I am a few years younger than you, you can call me Brother Yang like my fans. We are all family from now on."

Cai Haoyu and the other two looked at each other, their emotions slightly different, but they all called out from the bottom of their hearts: "Brother Yang."

"Of course I know about the development of the studio." Zhang Yang put down the teapot and continued, "The people I arranged to be supervisors in the studio will submit written reports to me every month."

Supervisor is a formal position, which is a person appointed by the company's shareholders to take charge of the supervision of the company. There is a supervisory body within the company, which is responsible for supervising the behavior of the company's directors and senior management and ensuring the compliance and standardization of the company's operations.

Zhang Yang had no doubts about the abilities of the "Fathers of the Original Gods" and had no intention of interfering in operations and game development. He just wanted to sit back and enjoy the dividends like Hangzhou Miyi in the original time and space, but this did not mean that he would trust them blindly.

Necessary supervision is definitely needed!
"I have always had an idea of miHoYo's development in mind," Zhang Yang said. "We plan to launch the classic Q-version shooting game "Honkai Gakuen 1" in the Honkai series in January next year."

"Make plans to release a four-frame comic of "Honkai Gakuen"."

"."

After talking about miHoYo's recent projects and plans, Zhang Yang took a sip from his teacup and said, "I have always been very aware of the development of the studio."

“The reason why I never express my opinion is because I firmly believe that professional matters should be left to professionals.”

"I'm good at playing games, but I'm not good at coding and developing them."

At this point, Zhang Yang paused and couldn't help but think of "Love O2O".

He will definitely play the role of Xiao Nai, as well as the male lead in You Are My Glory.

Both of them are academic geniuses, enough for him to max out his talents in game production and scientific research.

If he's lucky, his skill points might be maxed out, and he might be able to participate in game development projects himself.

So, MiHoYo was just something he did out of spare time, and later he set up a company to develop King of Glory and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.

Follow the penguin's path and make the penguin call him dad.

Zhang Yang calmed down and smiled: "I am optimistic about your abilities, so I am investing."

"As for how the studio is run and how it develops, I don't ask too much."

"That's why I have always refused to meet with the three of you."

"I am busy and don't have time, which is one reason."

“It’s mainly because I don’t think it’s necessary.”

"But I happen to have some time today, and the studio is already on track, so I think it's okay to talk to you."

Lei Jun knows all walks of life and is the big boss behind the investments.

As a reborn person, he naturally set up an investment company early and was ready to invest in a certain field at any time.

In February 12, miHoYo accepted an investment from MiYi and transferred 2% of its shares for one million yuan.

And this share later brought in dividends of over 100 million US dollars every year.

Money makes money really quickly!
"Brother Yang, what do you think of our domestic game market?"

"What do you think of mobile games?"

The three of them could hear the sincerity in Zhang Yang's tone and were encouraged for a moment.

They don’t take the trust and recognition of ordinary people seriously at all, and even think: “You don’t understand anything.”

But Zhang Yang is a successful person, so the feeling is completely different.

"Smartphones are becoming more common, and the mobile game market has great potential."

“It’s impossible to replace PC games, but it will definitely open up a second market.”

"you."

Zhang Yang has foresight and speaks with a sense of conviction.

When Cai Haoyu and the other two listened to him speak, they felt as if the moon was shining after a mist had cleared away.

Some ideas that were originally hesitant became firm after getting Zhang Yang's approval.

“It’s been a pleasure communicating with you today.”

"I'll come and get together with you guys when I have time."

"I still say the same thing, you guys are more experienced in the field of games and production, I won't interfere."

"I believe in my vision, you will definitely succeed!"

After encouraging Cai Haoyu and the other two, Zhang Yang left in a car.

"Brother Dawei, pinch me." Luo Yuhao put his hand in front of Liu Wei.

"Hiss!" Luo Yuhao suddenly retracted his hand, looking confused: "Are you serious?"

"How can I not satisfy your humble request?" Liu Weisi smiled. "It's been so many years, and you still don't know about this black sesame glutinous rice balls?" Cai Haoyu looked at Luo Yuhao with disdain.

"You guys bully my younger brother, believe it or not, I will join Brother Yang?" Luo Yuhao threatened.

Hearing this, Liu Wei and Cai Haoyu looked at each other and said "huh" at the same time.

"Without us, do you think Brother Yang would even look at you more?"

Luo Haoyu: “.”

"When the three of us join forces, we are invincible."

"But I really didn't expect that the boss of Timely Rain Investment Company is actually Zhang Yang."

"What other inside information does Brother Cai know?"

"Well, JiShiYu has invested in quite a few companies. With such a backer, we have much less pressure on development. If there is an opportunity to seek financing in the future, Brother Yang will come forward and get it done in minutes."

“Financing~”

The three of them imagined the future.

In other words, Zhang Yang didn’t know what the three of them were thinking, otherwise he would have rolled his eyes.

financing?

Then the original god would have to recognize the thief as his father.

It would be better to transfer the shares to him so that he can provide more funds for game development.

"I can see that you are optimistic about them." Mo Xiangwan was driving and observing Zhang Yang through the rearview mirror.

"Yeah." Zhang Yang turned his eyes away from his phone and said with a smile: "If I said that miHoYo would become a gaming company with a market value of tens of billions of dollars in the future, would you believe it?"

Mo Xiangwan: “.”

Every 25% of the shares is worth nearly 10 billion US dollars, or over 50 billion RMB.

She wanted to believe it but she didn't dare.

"If that day really comes, I will sell myself to you for life." Mo Xiangwan joked.

“Okay, then we have a deal.” Zhang Yang smiled. “If miHoYo’s market value exceeds 20 billion, you will be mine for life.”

Mo Xiangwan is really useful and is his good wife in the work field.

There was no way he would let this woman go.

In addition, Cheng Duling is also worth cultivating.

"He Chaolian is also OK, separation of powers?"

"Then isn't Yang Tianzhen the eunuch who holds the seal?"

"Haha~"

Zhang Yang was amused by his own thoughts.

Mo Xiangwan:?

This man is quite weird sometimes.

“But, in fact, it doesn’t need MiHoYo’s market value of 10 billion US dollars.” Mo Xiangwan pursed her lips.

It's been three years, doesn't he understand my own feelings?
Tens of minutes later.

Zhang Yang met Lei Jun in a hotel.

"Xiao Yang, this is you." Lei Jun smiled and gave a thumbs up.

The first generation of Redmi mobile phone sold out 10 units in seconds.

But this is not the limit. We achieved a million pre-sales in just 20 minutes.

In less than half a day, we received tens of millions in pre-sales, and now we have nearly 30 million orders.

The company originally predicted that the maximum would be around 40 million, but now it seems that 50 million is definitely not enough.

It was clearly an official mission project that would either make money or break even, but now it seems like it can make tens of millions.

It’s really worth hiring Zhang Yang as the spokesperson!
"It's mainly because Redmi products are good, I'm just the icing on the cake." Zhang Yang smiled modestly, not daring to take credit for it.

According to the original trajectory, there was no one endorsing the product. The first generation of Redmi sold out 90 units in days, with pre-sales exceeding one million in one hour and exceeding ten million in just one day.

For the general public, cost-effectiveness is the most important thing. They can even buy copycat phones and don’t care about titles like “beggar phone”.

This time, Zhang Yang will be the spokesperson, which will encourage many fans to buy the product, and his speech will provide a fig leaf for some young people who value face.

If someone looks down on you, you can fight back by saying, "Technology should not be high and mighty, we just don't want to pay the IQ tax."

Therefore, the pre-sale speed and the final sales ceiling will definitely increase.

But if you deduct the 20 million yuan endorsement fee given to him, Redmi doesn’t make much.

On the contrary, he has gained a good reputation and official favor, and is now truly "righteous to the point of being evil."

"Eat, eat."

"Sign the contract after dinner."

"Xiaomi needs a partner like Chenhai."

"Someone will be in charge of marketing from now on, so I won't have to waste a lot of brain cells."

Zhang Yang laughed inwardly.

When it comes to marketing, who can compare with you, Mr. Lei? I am just an elementary school student.

After having a good meal and a good drink, Lei Jun's eyes turned and he suddenly asked, "Ayang, do you feel that our Hongmi, no, Xiaomi, is still missing something?"

"What?" Zhang Yang was puzzled.

He really didn't understand what Lei Jun wanted.

"For example, the Mi Family Battle Song, or the theme song." Lei Jun did not hide anything and expressed his thoughts.

Hearing this, Zhang Yang’s mind immediately popped up the phrase “are.you.ok” and Lei Jun’s face.

Speaking of the Mi family’s battle song, it has to be your Mr. Lei’s single.

"Uncle Jun wants to release a song?" Zhang Yang asked.

"How can I do that? Do you think I'm the right material for this?" Lei Jun immediately shook his head and denied: "I want you to write a song for Xiaomi, and it would be best if you sing it."

"I see." Zhang Yang nodded and rubbed his hands.

“I can write songs.”

"But it costs extra money."

Lei Jun:?
