The diva and I cross each other

Chapter 123 Creating a Big IP

Luo Ming discussed countermeasures, and the atmosphere became less tense.

"Senior Brother Zhao, just feel free to take the 1% of the shares. Er Ming and I will definitely not think too much about it."

"Rong Mu is right. Senior Brother Zhao, you have made your attitude and position clear to us today. Rong Mu and I are not fools and will not believe Penguin's words. So, Senior Brother Zhao, just don't worry and take it when you need it." !”

Zhao Ningyuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. To be honest, he really liked Zhuoguang. The feeling of struggling in this kind of start-up company reminded him of the time when he just graduated and went to the web game company.

At that time, he was just like Xu Jiale a month ago. He had a good foundation, but his hands were actually a mess. Thanks to his boss at the time, he brought him out bit by bit.

And they also put all their energy into this web game.

As a result, the game exploded, and the boss threw all his belongings into it and borrowed more than 100 million yuan. In the end, there was no splash, and the company collapsed.

In order to pay off the debt, the boss went to join his classmates at Google.

Others in the company also went their separate ways, and Zhao Ningyuan can't forget to this day how heavy his heart felt when he walked out of the company.

Now, after a month in the burning light, Zhao Ningyuan feels like he has regained his enthusiasm.

Perhaps because of Professor Li, the two bosses, Luo Ming and Rong Mu, were willing to accept him, who had made big mistakes in his career, and had considerable trust in him. Luo Ming even directly said that he wanted to hand over the game department to him.

No, it shouldn’t be called the game department now, but Burning Light Games.

So Zhao Ningyuan hopes from the bottom of his heart that Burning Light Games can get better.

"Mr. Luo, don't worry, Mr. Rong, I will do a good job."

"You don't need to tell us this kind of thing. We all believe in you. It's getting late now. Do you want to go have a meal?" Rong Mu suggested.

"Now that we've finished talking about the troublesome things, it's good to go have a meal. Brother Zhao, after we finish the meal, you tell Penguin that we agree to them buying shares, but they have to send someone over to discuss the specific shares. You don't have to think about this now. ." Luo Ming followed.

"okay, I get it."

When Luo Ming saw Zhao Ningyuan agreeing, he changed the subject and said, "Okay, let's go eat hot pot! A new Xilinmen restaurant has opened near the company, and I haven't been there yet!"

"Then let's go have hot pot. It's good to have hot pot in winter."

After drinking and eating, the three of them went home.

As soon as Zhao Ningyuan entered the house, he dialed Fat Brother's phone number.

"Hey~ Fat brother, I went out for dinner with the bosses, and I mentioned the matter of buying shares to them." Zhao Ningyuan said straight to the point.

"What do you say over there?"

"They disagreed with 34%. When I said 20%, they hesitated for a while before saying they agreed to take shares, but the specific proportion and valuation of Burning Light Games require you to send someone over to discuss it."

The fat brother smiled when he heard this and agreed. As for how to talk about it later, it had nothing to do with him. He was only responsible for making connections.

"I know, it's thanks to you, Lao Zhao, this time."

"Fat brother, my share"

"Don't worry, I will definitely accomplish what I promised you." After saying that, Fatty hung up the phone.

Fat Brother put down his phone and let out a long sigh.

There is a wrong name, but there is no wrong nickname. Fat Brother is really quite fat. His height is estimated to be over 1 meters, and his weight is at least 8 pounds.

"How is my husband?" A woman with a plump figure, a pretty face, and a mature flavor came over with a glass of water.

"It's done!"

"Why are you sighing after it's done?" the woman asked as she handed the water glass to the fat brother.

The fat brother picked up the water glass and took a big sip and then said: "I feel a little sorry for Lao Zhao. He believed in me so much, but I worked with the company to plan for him to lose his job again."

"Didn't you also get him 1% of the shares? The valuation of Zhuoguang from above is 10 billion, and 1% is 1000 million, which is enough for him to spend for the rest of his life." Fat Brother's wife said indifferently.

"That being said, I always feel uncomfortable."

"Husband, you are just too soft-hearted."

"People are not like grass and trees. I have known Lao Zhao for more than three years, and we got along quite well before!"

"Husband, if you want me to say that things have already happened, don't think about it too much. Instead of thinking about him, you should think about us having a second child."

Fat Brother's face changed slightly when he heard this. Fat Brother is 33 years old this year, and his wife is one year younger than him. They got married 6 years ago and have a 4-year-old son. Recently, their parents saw that their jobs were stable, and they all urged They want a second child.

But facing a wife who is like a wolf and a tiger, Fat Brother is really powerless.

"Ahem! What's that? Wife, I think I have to report to the boss first. You can go to bed first!" After saying that, the fat brother got up and walked to the study.

But her wife was obviously faster. She rushed over and blocked the fat brother's way: "Humph! Want to escape?"

His eyes came to Lin Shuwen.

Lin Shuwen finished the last set of moves and lay directly on the floor of the dance practice room.

Lin Shuwen gasped, and she felt that her underwear was soaked with sweat.

"Sister Wen, stop lying on the floor, I'll take you home!" Chen Sichu ran over to help Lin Shuwen.

"Wait! Let me slow down for a while." After saying that, Lin Shuwen collapsed on the floor and closed her eyes. Chen Sichu carefully wiped the sweat from Lin Shuwen's forehead.

After about 10 minutes, Lin Shuwen finally sat up on her own.

"Chu Chu, are all my movements recorded during practice?"

"It's recorded."

"Send the video to my phone later and I'll take a look at it tonight."

"Sister Wen, are you trying too hard?"

"I can't help it. Time is tight and the task is heavy. Help me up and let's go home."

Chen Sichu nodded and helped Lin Shuwen up. The two went to Lin Shuwen's office to change clothes, and then Chen Sichu drove Lin Shuwen back home.

As soon as she entered the house, Lin Shuwen dialed Luo Ming's phone number.

Coincidentally, Luo Ming had just arrived home at this moment and was about to call Lin Shuwen. Unexpectedly, Lin Shuwen's call came in first.

"Hey~ Luo Ming." Lin Shuwen's tone sounded weak, which sounded like she had trained hard.

"Wenwen, have you just arrived home?"

"Well, I practiced a little more today and asked Chu Chu to record all my exercises.

Chuchu has already sent me the video. I will forward it to you. You can take a look at it tonight and note down the movements.

If you really can't remember it, when you come over to practice tomorrow, just practice the content on the video.

After these three days, I feel that I have initially completed the stretching. The pain will not be so painful in the afternoon. You should not suffer too much when you come here. "

"I know, and I will practice hard. I will not let your hard work go to waste, and it is also for the sake of my future happy life." Of course, Luo Ming did not say the second half of the sentence, but just recited it silently in his heart.

"Well, that's up to you. Luo Ming, if you have anything to explain, please tell me quickly? I'll go to bed without me. I'm really tired today and I can't bear it anymore."

"It's true, Senior Brother Zhao today." Then Luo Ming told Lin Shuwen about Penguin's intention to invest in Zhuoguang.

Lin Shuwen looked confused after hearing this. She was silent for almost a minute before asking: "Luo Ming, is this good or bad for us?"

"Let's put it this way! This thing is probably that Burning Light Games will give 10% to 15% of its revenue to Penguin every year in exchange for Penguin's support for our games. Our game links can be sent on Penguin's social software. At the same time, They’ll give us some publicity or something.”

"Isn't this just collecting protection money?"

"Well, if I have to say it, the two are indeed similar. That's what I mean."

"Then what happens if you don't pay the protection fee?"

"Then our company is in danger. We haven't started working on big data yet, and we don't have the capital to compete with Penguin." Luo Ming said helplessly.

"How do you say that?"

"Thirty years to the east of the river and thirty to the west of the river, don't you bully young people into poverty?"

"Yes, yes, this is it!"

"Well, that's not the case. To be honest, Penguin's investment in the company should be more beneficial than cons for us. At least with Penguin's social software, our games will be easier to play.

Of course, when our next two games become popular, the situation will most likely be reversed. "

"Then make good use of Penguin's resources and don't let them make money so easily." Lin Shuwen pursed her lips and said angrily.

"That's what I thought." Luo Ming responded with a smile.

"Then do I still play the two mini-games you mentioned?"

"Do it! Why not do it?"

"But aren't these two mini-games just for the purpose of promoting "Happy Match"? Now that there are Penguin promotion channels, are they still needed?"

"You can't rely on others for everything, right? You have to rely on everyone to support you. In the end, you have to rely on yourself.

Besides, the reason why I asked you to make these two mini-games is not to promote "Happy Match".

These two small games are also very playable. I plan to make them into a chain IP with "Happy Match". I have already thought of the IP name and call it Animal Town.

There are three very playable games, which are enough to support this IP in the early stage. In the future, we can use the Animal Town IP to launch more derivative games.

With the word-of-mouth support of the previous games, as long as there are subsequent games under the IP name of Animal Town, the number of players will definitely not be small. "

Lin Shuwen is also in the entertainment industry after all, so she naturally knows the IP effect. She did not expect that games can generate IPs in this way.

Luo Mingyou's idea of ​​creating a large-scale linkage IP was actually due to the operating model of Pokémon in the previous life.

Pokémon is like this. It was just a game at the beginning, and then it launched a series of IP derivatives such as animations and cards, and finally completed a huge IP linkage.

As long as it is a new product under this IP, it can benefit from this IP, and it will be very popular in the early stage of release.

Luo Ming also wants to create a similar IP. When the company later makes games with cute graphics such as "Jelly Bean Man" and "Two People", they can all access the IP of Animal Town.
