"Do you remember that mobile game I played before?"
"What mobile game?"
"The one who fights zombies."
"Zombie shooter?" Shiraishi Mai looked confused.
Amamiya Sori took out her mobile phone, opened "Honkai Academy" and handed it to her.
"Oh~" Shiraishi Mai took the phone and then remembered that it was a mobile game played by Amamiya Sori more than half a year ago.
Since contacting miHoYo at the beginning of the year, Amamiya Sori has expressed his willingness to invest many times. MiHoYo did not pay much attention to the sudden appearance of this investor. At first, he was wary of online fraud. It has been two years since I started my company, and I only received 1 million in angel investment at the beginning. Now if I tell you that pie in the sky is falling, everyone would be suspicious.
It is this kind of suspicion that Amamiya Soi is afraid of, and it will change later. The sooner he gets the equity of MiHoYo, the better. Although Naihe is in the most difficult period, he is very cautious about selling equity. The opinions of the three founders are not unanimous. Some people think that if they grit their teeth and persist, they can't sell their houses in their hometown to pay employees; some people think that the company is almost dying, and they are still struggling with the equity. As long as the three of them can deal with it. The company is fully controlled and investors are not allowed to affect the company's operations.
Under this situation, Amamiya Shiori decided to go to Shanghai in person to conduct offline inspections and try to convince the three people. It's best to sign a contract, and at worst, you need to write a letter of intent.
"So, Xiaozhi wants to invest in the production company of this mobile game?"
"That's right." Amamiya Shiori's tone was serious and sincere.
"A game company in Shanghai?"
"right."
"Although I know nothing about games, is it troublesome to invest across countries? Can't I invest in domestic game companies?" Mai Shiraishi thought for a moment and asked.
"Don't worry about this. I have already consulted with a lawyer, and also studied relevant documents from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry." Amamiya Shiori replied, "As for domestic game companies, I even want to invest, but I don't have enough capital. "
Well-known domestic game companies can't make much of a splash even if they invest 100 million yen. As for small companies, the return on investment is too low, so they might as well buy more Bitcoins.
"Well...but what if, what if we lose money?" Mai Shiraishi asked worriedly.
"Investment is risky, and profits or losses cannot be accurately predicted." Amamiya Soi nodded.
"So, it's better not to invest. Keeping these 100 million yen will always be useful. Even if it is kept in the bank, it is better than investing and losing money!" Shiraishi Mai advised.
One hundred million yen is not a small amount. Most Japanese people will never be able to save this much money in a few lifetimes. Mai Shiraishi feels that she would not have the courage to invest this money.
"But what if I make a profit?" Amamiya Shiori seemed to have no psychological burden at all, "Is Mai so unsure of me?"
"It's not about whether you have confidence or not -" Shiraishi Mai turned her head, looked into Amemiya's eyes, and paused.
"Uh, okay, I'm really not confident." She smiled sheepishly. After all, before today, she never knew that Amamiya had so much savings, and she never knew that Amamiya had a vision for investment.
"Don't worry, I have done a very clear preliminary investigation and have been communicating with the other party for less than half a year. The two-dimensional mobile game market is still a blue ocean, especially the mobile game market across the sea is on the rise, and people's consumption concepts have changed with each other. Changes with the popularity of smartphones and mobile payments——"
"Wait a minute, I don't understand even if you say so much," Shiraishi Mai quickly asked Amamiya to stop, "I just want to know how confident Xiaozhi is."
"More than 90%!" Amamiya Shiori blurted out. In fact, without any investment of his own, they could still succeed in another half a year. Now with her help in times of need, the certainty of success is more than 90%.
"Are you so sure?" Shiraishi Mai touched her head. There is no such thing as a sure-fire business in this world.
"Don't worry. Even if the investment fails, I still have the royalties from my novels. It will be easy to find a high-paying job after graduating from Tokyo University." Amamiya Sori held Shiraishi Mai's hand tightly.
Although she didn't agree with Amamiya Sori's cross-border investment behavior, Shiraishi Mai didn't have the relevant knowledge or experience to persuade her to give up, so she could only choose to respect her decision.
"Since Xiaozhi has thought of a way out, I don't have any objections. But if, I mean if, Xiaozhi is really short of money one day, come to me." Shiraishi Mai leaned against Amamiya Shizaki. In his arms, his tone was firm.
Amamiya Suga smiled. She had never considered that she might be so depressed that she asked Mai Shiraishi to borrow money.
"Why do I need you? Are you keeping me?"
"Ahem, as long as Xiaozhi is willing, I can support you for the rest of your life." Mai Shiraishi replied sheepishly, "Then Xiaozhi will be a housewife and wish me a good journey at the entrance in the morning when I go to work. I will get home in the evening. By the time, meals and hot water have been prepared to welcome me back..."
Amamiya Sori tugged on her cheek and said, "I'm overthinking it. I don't want to be a housewife. I can just leave the housework to the maid."
"Eh - maid?"
"When I get rich in the future and live in a villa, I will definitely not be able to clean it myself. Of course I will have to hire a maid, a housekeeper, a driver, and a bodyguard. Well, a professional bodyguard, not a showman like the former prime minister's bodyguard."
"Uh~ Let's not talk about why the Prime Minister's bodyguard has become a showpiece. Why is it the former? Where should I buy a villa?"
"When my investment is successful, I can buy it wherever I want." Amamiya Soi answered confidently.
Shiraishi Mai smiled and shook her head, thinking that Amamiya Sori was talking nonsense.
----------------------------------------
The intermission passed quickly, and today there is still the filming of the second episode of "Where is Nogizaka".
"Towards the new national idol, Nogizaka46 Children's Talk Room."
In the second episode of the program, several primary school students were invited to the scene. The plan was for the members to enter the classroom in order, play the role of teachers, and answer the questions of the naughty children. In order to increase the effectiveness of the program, a traitor from Shitaku was placed among the primary school students. He served as Shitaku's microphone and asked some deliberately difficult questions to the members.
Shitara: "Hey, the first one to appear is Shiraishi!"
"Ah, hi!" Mai Shiraishi, who was still thinking about Amamiya Shiori's words during the intermission, was stunned for a moment and quickly answered.
The classroom setting is in another room. As the first person to accept questions from elementary school students, Shiraishi thought he had a good rapport even though he was not prepared in advance.
The class bell rang, and she slowly opened the classroom door.
