Shanghai is a nice city. Don Juan settled here in his previous life, emptying several wallets at home and taking on loans for decades.
Meng Fanqi also spent several years here, wandering between two or three large factories.
If there is one thing that makes him feel most comfortable, it is that the life here is a little distant, or indifferent.
No matter which one it is, it doesn't matter. He just prefers a peaceful and stable life and hates boring and tedious greetings and send-offs.
It’s good for everyone to live their own lives and not always point fingers at other people’s personal affairs.
Maybe some people would think it was heartless, but Meng Fanqi didn't believe that people would really understand each other and really do what's best for each other.
More people wish you well, but it is best not to live better than him.
In this way, it is a little bit superior to look at people who are worse off than oneself, and it is easy to be a little jealous when looking at people who are better off than oneself.
No matter how things change, torture is eternal.
In this case, it’s better to just ignore it and don’t ask too many questions.
To give an immediate example, in 2012, Mihuyou had a larger shareholding of 41% except for Cai Haoyu.
There is also a classmate named Xing who shares the remaining shares with Luo Yuhao and Liu Wei.
However, one month after the company was founded, Xing left the start-up team because he was hired by a large international company, Cisco.
The 13% equity was transferred to Luo Yuhao and Liu Wei for 13,000 yuan.
Although working in a major international factory is secure, there is really no hope of becoming rich and famous in this life.
In a place like Cisco, retirement care is good, but I wonder if Mr. Xing will always be unable to forget that he sold shares worth more than 20 billion ten years later for 13,000.
Meng Fanqi felt that there was no need to laugh at classmate Xing immediately.
If not forced by life, who would be willing to be a wage earner?
It must be a very difficult decision behind leaving. Judging from Mi Huyou's current situation, such a decision is understandable.
When Meng Fanqi and Tang Juan arrived at Mihuyou's office in Xuhui District, six people from Mihuyou's founding team of seven were present.
The three founders are all struggling on the front line.
Among the six people, three had messy hair and wore plaid shirts that fit the stereotype of a programmer.
Among the other three, Liu Wei was dressed quite formally. Meng Fanqi knew that this was because Big Viagra was mainly responsible for external communication.
Cai Haoyu, who is absolutely the core, is wearing a gray sweater, with a bad complexion and some dark circles under his eyes.
However, his eyes are still quite determined.
The two came to visit and made a brief phone call beforehand, so several people knew that there was an angel investor today.
But it was completely unexpected that the two investors seemed to be at least five or six years younger than them.
As an entrepreneur, Cai Haoyu, who was born in 1987, is 26 years old this year, which can be considered quite young in this circle.
And these two young people who claimed to invest in their own companies were actually significantly younger.
However, this also gave them some confidence. It seems that although their routes are not favored by middle-aged and elderly capital, they can still impress young people!
"I wonder how you two noticed our Mi Huyou?" The three founders of Mi Huyou always went out to ask for investment by themselves, and they really didn't expect that investors would come to visit.
Meng Fanqi and the two of them rushed to the company directly after talking on the ground, leaving them no time to prepare.
There were not even enough chairs at the moment. After two old work chairs were brought over, one employee had to stand and wait.
"I noticed your company mainly because you have a game "fly me to the moon" with the same name as the ending song of my favorite anime." Meng Fanqi showed no reaction at the side, and Tang Juan instantly knew that he should start cheating.
As soon as he said this, Cai Haoyu couldn't hold himself back anymore and exchanged looks with the other two founders with a happy face.
It's not that he couldn't hold himself back. He had been asking for investment for more than a year, but investors always shook their heads like rattles when they heard about two-dimensional things.
I wish they would immediately make a bunch of Legends web games to make money.
Not to mention that investors understand the second dimension, it would be good if investors can have the patience to continue listening to them after hearing the three words "second dimension".
"I think otakus are very different from other groups. Their loyalty is very high. If you make a good product, they will definitely chase you, just like we chase new anime released every day. Really If the product is made well, their loyalty and everyone’s desire to pay will be very strong.”
Cai Haoyu took over the conversation and introduced his target customers and logic.
"But I see that your Honkai Impact is not very profitable, and it doesn't seem to be widely recognized by users." Meng Fanqi played hard to get, using retreat as an opportunity to advance.
He asked Don Juan to play a familiar investor who loves the second dimension, and he stood in a secondary position and played a little bad role at the right time.
"But Honkai Impact One's turnover has exceeded 2 million, and we have actually achieved preliminary profits." Cai Haoyu played a little word game here. If the turnover of 2 million is enough, the account will be evened. It would be good to have a little income. .
Profit is a dime and it is profit.
If it was really profitable, why would a few start-up employees need to pay themselves a salary of 4,000?
At this time, any of their classmates who find a job after graduation can get a salary much higher than this, maybe more than 10,000, maybe more than 20,000.
“Experiencing the failure of previous generations of games in 2013 made us understand clearly what we want to do – we want a successful commercial product. Our new generation of Honkai Impact 2 is scheduled to be launched in two months, and we expect it to be Earn ten times more than the first-generation product, with revenue exceeding 20 million!”
Cai Haoyu's words were not bragging. Honkai Impact II's actual revenue exceeded a hundred times, let alone ten times.
"I'm quite optimistic about the future of domestic original two-dimensional games." Tang Juan said conscientiously, "You may not understand if you don't understand two-dimensional games. There is a big gap in this area in China. Do you still believe me? You don't vote for me. You have to vote for yourself.”
"I'm not questioning your vision. I simply think that the biggest obstacle at present is that smartphones have not yet been widely popularized." Meng Fanqi slowed down a little and gave Mi Huyi a way to convince himself.
In terms of financing, financing from individuals is better than financing, and financing from young people is better than financing from middle-aged and elderly people.
Looking at all the investors they had come into contact with, Cai Haoyu and the other three couldn't think of any better situation.
Seeing Meng Fanqi relax slightly, he immediately tried his best.
