My Age of Investment

   Chapter 903 Self-developed game

   After Governor Ge decided to change his fate against the sky, he showed great courage, and the Chengdu BOE project was advancing with a very high efficiency.

  Xia Jingxing, Deng Yuanyun and others, as well as Huang Dongsheng’s team, participated in various meetings organized by Chengdu every day for the next week.

  Rongcheng government came forward and invited experts from various sources and the heads of local branches of major banks to conduct various assessments on the details of technology, projects, financing and loans, etc.

  Xia Jingxing started to be lazy after attending a few meetings, and even took the time to go to the kitchen and have a hot pot.

  However, he did not see Yu Youwei, and the other party led the team to the Modu Development branch.

  Rongcheng BOE, despite the full support of Ge Prefect, it takes a long time to go through the process for such a large project.

Just when Xia Jingxing was about to leave, he suddenly received a call from Fu Jixun.

   Then he stayed in Rongcheng for more than one day, waiting for Fu Jixun, who came from the capital urgently.

  Located in the Rongcheng office of Envision Capital in Tianfu Software Park, Xia Jingxing holds coffee and looks at the increasingly prosperous park outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

  When he first returned to China the year before, there were not a few companies in the park, and now he has gradually gained a bit of popularity.

  Fu Jixun sat on a chair, looking at Xia Jingxing standing by the window, and said: “This is the general situation. Shanda offered 100 million yuan and wanted to acquire the local online game company Jintian Technology in Chengdu.

  Vision Capital Rongcheng team invested 5 million yuan in this company last year, holding 25% of the shares.

  Now Peng Haitao, the founder of Jintian Technology, is asking for our opinion, and his personal preference is to sell the company.

  Although we have only invested in this company in one year and can earn 5 times the return, I think the purchase price of 100 million yuan is still too low.

The founders of this company are still very talented. Based on the self-developed 3D engine, they have developed and operated two online games, "Legend" and "Fengyun", especially the game "Fengyun", which was launched within half a year. There are 6 million registered users.

  As a new company, and keen on independent research and development, this result has been very good.

  Ten thousand steps back, even if you really want to sell the company, it won’t be Shanda’s turn to pick first, and domestic games may be worth considering. "

  Xia Jingxing turned around and nodded slightly without speaking.

He recalled the impression of Peng Haitao in his mind. He remembered that the other party seemed to be short, with dark skin, and wearing glasses. He looked very honest and honest, but in fact he was a famous bad student in No.7 Middle School, who often skipped classes and played games. .

  He and Peng Haitao were both born in 1984, and then both were enrolled in the seventh middle school, but they were not in the same class.

  However, they know each other. He and Deng Fenghua often met this guy in the game hall, and sometimes they would watch Peng Haitao play games with a group of people.

  It is this kind of problematic student who skipped class and didn’t write homework, and he was admitted to Sichuan University.

  An anecdote about No. 7 Middle School has been circulating in the Sichuan and Shu areas: high school does not work hard, go to the next door for the college entrance examination.

  This next door refers to Sichuan University.

  But this is a bit exaggerated. The scum of No. 7 middle school can't even pass the undergraduate entrance examination, let alone Sichuan University. But Peng Haitao can be admitted to Sichuan University if he skips classes every day.

  If Xia Jingxing admired Peng Haitao's good game in his student days, then he would be envious of the other party’s entrepreneurship even after college and even after graduation.

  Peng Haitao dropped out of school and started a business after only one year of studying at Sichuan University. At the age of 23, he sold the company to Shanda and became a billionaire. In 2007, he was a very successful entrepreneur with gold content.

  However, this is not over yet. After working for Shanda for a year, this guy left and founded a game company. A year later, he sold it to Shanda, and sold him for more than 100 million.

  Since then, Peng Haitao has gradually retired from the world. He has not left any fame in the mobile Internet era. It may not be able to keep up with the times, or it may be a game life.

  Xia Jingxing guessed that it should be the latter, because this guy is actually a rich second-generation, his father is a real estate agent and liquor businessman, a few years ago when Peng Haitao dropped out of school to start a business, his father directly dumped 1 million to him as the start-up capital.

  Xia Jingxing and Peng Haitao had contact with each other when they were students, and then there was no contact. A lot of news about each other was heard from Deng Fenghua.

  In the alumni circle of No. 7 Middle School at the time, this guy was more famous than the classmates Wang Xiaochuan and Chen Rui.

  Xia Jingxing was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Let's go, we will meet Peng Haitao together."

   "President Xia, are you planning?" Fu Jixun asked tentatively.

   "I'll see you first, let's talk about it!"

  Jintian Technology’s office is in the Software Park, not far from the Chengdu office of Envision Capital. Xia Jingxing and the two chose to walk there.

When    was approaching the place, Fu Jixun called Peng Haitao.

  When Xia Jingxing and the two officially arrived at Jintian Technology Company, Peng Haitao was already waiting at the front desk.

Peng Haitao wore a wrinkled sports T-shirt and shorts, shaved a flat head, and pulled a pair of slippers. His clothes and dressing were very casual, neither like the CEO of a new game company, nor like the rich second generation, but more like It's an ordinary college student who has spent several nights surfing the Internet.

  Xia Jingxing wanted to laugh a little when he saw it. This raunchy appearance matched that of Wang Tao. The two may be similar people, because Peng Haitao also said to the media that "this world is too boring".

   "Xia Jingxing, it's really you!"

  Peng Haitao rubbed his eyes, confirmed that he did not admit his mistake, and walked over with a smile.

  Fu Jixun looked surprised, looked at Peng Haitao, and then at Xia Jingxing.

   "We knew each other in high school, alumni of the same level." Xia Jingxing held Peng Haitao's shoulders and explained Fu Jixun.

   "Everyone was talking back then, saying that you will either be the owner of an Internet cafe or a game owner. I didn't expect it to come true. Mr. Peng, that's okay!"

  Xia Jingxing narrowed the distance between each other with a single sentence, and Peng Haitao smiled: "Starting a company is just for fun."

  Xia Jingxing knows that the other party does not have Versailles, because this guy is like this, just play!

  He did not ask why Peng Haitao did not contact him with such meaningless questions. He did not contact Peng Haitao in the previous life. He was just ordinary friends in the student days. If it weren't for accidents, there would be no intersection.

  After a few words of greeting, Peng Haitao led Xia Jingxing and Fu Jixun into the company.

  After walking into the office area, Xia Jingxing glanced casually. The company is not large in scale, just like the number one hundred and eighty.

  Peng Haitao led Xia Jingxing and Fu Jixun into his independent office, greeted them to sit down on the sofa, and ordered the administration to make two cups of tea and bring them in.

   "I heard that you want to sell the company? What do you think? You gave up after ringing the bell?" Xia Jingxing asked casually.

   "Hey, it feels too troublesome to run a company, it's not the life I want!"

  Fu Jixun glanced at the god-man in front of him, and wanted to ask "then what do you want to do?", but in the end he held back and did not ask.

Xia Jingxing smiled. Everyone has different pursuits. Peng Haitao has had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child. From his clothes, he can see that he has a low desire for life. Here comes.

  Thinking of this, Xia Jingxing was too lazy to say something, and directly pointed out his intention: "How about selling the company to domestic games? I support you in developing Chinese-style games, like "Warcraft" imported into China, and exported overseas in the reverse direction.

  We have a long history of Chinese culture, and it makes no sense to play games developed by foreigners all day long, and some games are hacked in China from time to time. "

  Peng Haitao's eyes widened, "Go overseas?"

Xia Jingxing nodded slightly. He had mentioned to the executives of the domestic holding company very early that the agency game is only temporary. In the end, it is necessary to follow the route of self-research and realize the export of foreign culture. This is a matter of great significance to the country and the nation. .

Of course, the bad money still needs to be just right, otherwise how can you afford to burn the money for research and development, and the Chinese style game will definitely be very difficult when it just started. Japanese games and animation are also unremitting investment and accumulation for decades. , It has a place in the world.

   "Will foreigners like to play?" Peng Haitao's tone was full of suspicion.

   "If you don't do it, then the Chinese game will never stand up. If you do it, then there is a possibility of success."

  Xia Jingxing said lightly: "I know this thing is difficult, but the more challenging it is, the more I like it!

  Everyone said that I like to redefine each industry, I admit this! So I want to redefine the game industry. "

Feeling the coaxing in Xia Jing’s jargon, Peng Haitao smiled: “To be honest, if you invest heavily in Chinese-style games, you may lose a lot of money, and you won’t be able to make any money in the end.”

  Xia Jingxing smiled: "I'm not afraid of losing money. As long as I can make my ideal game, what's wrong with losing some money? Men can't have a hobby?"

  Peng Haitao was happy, and the feeling of strangeness that he had not seen Xia Jingxing for several years gradually disappeared.

   "That's true! With your tens of billions of assets, the loss of the game is just a drizzle to you."

  Xia Jingxing nodded slightly, and said: "At that time, we were playing games in the arcade. We all thought that "Three Kingdoms" was developed by a Chinese game company. Later, we learned that the dog said it was a Japanese game.

  We are such a big country, with five thousand years of history, countless myths and legends, and martial arts are popular all over the world. Nowadays, online novels about fantasy and immortality are beginning to be popular again.

  With so many themes, how many online games can't be developed?

  If Chinese-style games can conquer foreigners, in the future, I would like to invest in several Chinese myths and fairy tales. What are the impressions of foreigners watching Chinese movies now? poverty! behind! Ignorance!

  The game is actually a cultural highland. If you don’t occupy it, others will occupy it. You see, young people don’t hate themselves much anymore.

  I heard that last year, the Japanese consortium wanted to acquire the "Fengyun" 3D engine and find an actress to endorse the game. Jintian Technology flatly refused for the sake of the nation, even if the source code is released, it will not be sold to Japan.

  Your team is still very strong! "

  Peng Haitao smiled embarrassedly: "Exaggerated, it's just marketing hype, but if there is really a Japanese who buys our company, I will not sell it to death."

  Xia Jingxing nodded: "The long-term development goal of domestic games is to become a top international game manufacturer like Blizzard, EA, and Ubisoft, so that Chinese local cultural games can be based on the world.

I think Jintian Technology still has a lot of ideas. I heard that your last game "Legend" is China's first self-developed 3D online game, and the background of the game also refers to a large number of ancient Chinese myths and legends, and is original Play and shape a fantasy world of Eastern mythology.

  This is very thoughtful! At present, many game peers in China are trying to make money, and few people think of adding a sense of national pride to the people. "

  Xia Jingxing’s words immediately scratched Peng Haitao’s itch. He was still very proud of his own works, and Xia Jingxing’s praise made him very useful.

  "After the acquisition of Jintian by domestic games, will they really invest a lot of money in self-developed Chinese-style games?"

  Xia Jingxing smiled faintly: "What am I lie to you? Hainei.com has now been upgraded to a domestic holding group. It is positioned as a social pan-entertainment group. It will attack in many entertainment business areas such as games, animation, film and television, music, and online novels.

  In order to form our unique competitiveness, or even go overseas to compete in the international market, we must base ourselves on the local Chinese culture. It is impossible to develop any Greek mythology games or film Norse mythology films, right? "

  Peng Haitao nodded: “That’s true, our country’s culture is not bad.”

  "It's not bad, it's the only one in the world!"

  Peng Haitao took a long breath, "Well, I will sell Jintian to you."

   "Fresh!"

  Xia Jingxing stretched out his hand and slapped Peng Haitao.

  Fu Jixun looked at him in confusion, is this done? Don’t talk about the price?

   "Oh, I almost forgot to say, the purchase price is still 100 million yuan, the same as Shanda's bid." Xia Jingxing glanced at Peng Haitao.

   "No problem, but I have a condition. I want to stay in Jintian Technology to develop games."

  Xia Jingxing nodded: “That’s a must. From now on, you will be the head of the domestic game Rongcheng studio, and the domestic game will inject a certain amount of funds for you to start the research and development of new games.

  With our financial support, this place in Chengdu is comfortable and livable. You and your team can do research and development with peace of mind and make a real big one. "

  Peng Haitao smiled and said, "It sounds very good."

  Xia Jingxing smiled. What he saw was Peng Haitao’s obsession with the game. He tried a small shot and just filled in the missing self-developed game map.

  It doesn’t matter if you fail. The profit of the agency game can also raise a self-developed game team.
