Only after I was reborn did I realize that I had green plums

Meifang has been receiving all kinds of financing intentions since it established Station C, which even includes Alibaba, a rising super e-commerce company.

But Mei Fang has no intention of sitting down and talking with other companies at all, and only waits for Penguin to issue its invitation for financing intentions.

Mei Fang's understanding of the capital world is very limited, and he can only rely on his shallow qualifications in his previous life to determine his intentions. Penguins are famous for having more money and less affairs, so he has a better impression of Penguins.

The usual person in charge of Linxi Technology is Mei Yue. Although he has done great things with his younger brother, he is a part-time capitalist after all, and his main job is as a high school student. Most of the non-work decisions need to be handled by Mei Yue.

In order to keep this job with a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan, she worked overtime every day to sort out financial reports and process various financial-related information. In order to prepare relevant materials for financing, she even worked in the company for several days in a row.

After preparing for such a long time and working so hard, on the day of the financing intention meeting, the three giants at Station C were almost late. This made Mei Yue very angry. The younger brother pulled him into the office and gave him a slap in the face.

"Xiao Fangzi, should you know how important today's financing meeting is? You don't even pay attention to the quotations of other capitals. You bet all your treasures on penguins, but you don't pay much attention to yourself. You want me... want me What can you say?"

"I'm sorry... Sister Yueyue, this matter is not bad for Afang, it's mainly because I wasted time finding the right clothes."

Xia Yuan was speaking for Mei Fang, and Mei Yue didn't continue to struggle, "Okay, okay... let's prepare a little bit, I'll go to the conference room to debug the PPT and related materials, you guys take a rest first, the Penguin people probably It'll be here soon."

Mei Fang, Lin Youxi, and Xia Yuan stayed in their boss's office to rest. Xia Yuan adjusted her appearance in front of the standing mirror on the wall. I went to pick up the water and took a sip, and then happily ran to the office area of ​​the employees.

Since the all-hands meeting, Mei Fang has kept a record of coming to Lin Xi Technology to clock in every two weeks. First, he has a meeting with everyone to understand the development progress of the "Journey to the Cloud" project, and second, he is also confirming the company's current operation.

However, after all, it is a team gathered by enthusiasts, and everyone often does some strange and funny behaviors.

An employee suddenly stood up and saluted when Mei Fang passed by: "Hello, station master!"

"Sit down, what are you doing standing up, leave me alone."

Ladies and sisters who like the second dimension obviously showed greater interest in Mei Fang:

"Oh, it's a real Fang Bao! It's rare to see you in the company, can I leave you an autograph? I'm really super proud of you, I'm your single pusher!"

"...my signature is pretty ugly."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, as long as it is written by Fang Bao, I like it!"

"I want me too!"

"Give me an autograph too!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Seeing that Mei Fang was very popular with the female employees, Xia Yuan deliberately leaned over and coughed loudly, and the young ladies shrank back tactfully.

"The lady boss is jealous."

"Yes, Yuanbao is jealous."

"I heard it—"

Xia Yuan mumbled coquettishly at the side, causing a series of teasing laughter.

In the early days of starting a business, it is inevitable that there will be some overtime work, but Mei Fang always wants to hold an umbrella for others because he has been exposed to the rain. He tried his best to ensure everyone's overtime benefits, so the current atmosphere of the company is still very harmonious and hardworking.

After a while, two men and one woman from Penguin arrived at Linxi Technology. Mei Yue, who is skilled in business, immediately went up to shake hands in various ways. After a brief introduction to each other, Mei Fang also came forward to shake hands with the three. .

"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet the senior Penguin."

When Mei Fang reached out to hold each other, the leading woman froze for a moment, then smiled and said:

"I didn't expect that the actual controller of Station C is actually such a young boy. You are really amazing... I'm Wen Qi from the Strategy Department of Penguin CVC. You can call me Carly."

"Hello, brothers and sisters!"

Xia Yuan bowed to everyone at the side, and the three of them felt very novel, "Wow...it seems that it is really Yuanbao himself. I have heard your song before, and it is very beautiful."

"Uh... Thank you for your compliments, I will continue to work hard."

"By the way, Yuanbao's popularity is so high, do you really plan to debut as an idol?"

After hearing this, Xia Yuan waved her hands again and again, "It's nothing, writing songs is just a pure hobby, and I still have a lot to learn."

Compared with Mei Fang's real power and Xia Yuan's influence, Lin Youxi doesn't seem to be shining enough at present, but when they reached out to shake hands for introduction, everyone also revealed Lin Youxi's identity:

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the real lady, right? She's a very temperamental younger sister."

"Hello."

Compared to Mei Fang's sophistication and Xia Yuan's full of energy, Lin Youxi didn't talk much, just smiled in a simple coping manner, and then had no intention of continuing to chat.

Mei Yue led the three of them to a brief tour of the current office situation of Linxi Technology, and then they came to the conference room together. I have to say that the oppression of the big bosses is still full of aura, but fortunately, Mei Fang does not treat them well. How false, this also surprised the three visiting people.

They didn’t find out more about Mei Fang’s family background when they did the background check before the communication. Even the establishment of Station C and Similu Games, he almost did it without telling his family. I don’t know where it came from. The communication skills I have learned always have a feeling of being young and mature.

Is it really a talent?

"Then... Now that everyone has gotten to know each other well, let me first briefly introduce the current operating conditions of our Linxi Technology—"

Mei Yue gave a serious introduction to the company's situation on the stage. The three penguins in the audience stared at Mei Yue's PPT presentation content meticulously, and from time to time lowered their heads to write some beautiful notes. During the period, there was no intention to interrupt , After Mei Yue finished her introduction, the three of them also started to ask their own questions one after another.

"We are actually very interested in and have a lot of questions about the development of your company, especially the fact that the actual controller of the company is still a minor, which is itself a big traffic gimmick. But before that, according to From what we have learned, your company should have received financing intentions from many companies, and I heard that Mei only arranged a meeting with us, so please forgive me for asking: Is this true?"

Mei Fang smiled and nodded, "We are students after all. After all, we have limited time on weekends, and we have to go back to do homework. Naturally, we should choose the most valuable financing partner."

"As a high school student, it doesn't seem to violate peace at all... But thank you for your answer."

Wen Qi pushed his glasses slightly, then smiled and said: "Children of your age have probably played some games that we represented or developed by Penguin, but this kind of understanding alone may be quite different from starting a company." I hope you can understand the difference."

“Of course I understand this, so I hope we can go straight to the financing problem.”

"Well... how should I put it, after all, the A round of financing involves various considerations, and the fact that Mei is still a middle school student is the most interesting and surprising."

Wen Qi flipped through the written materials prepared by Mei Yue, and replied calmly: "But we are talking about business, and I would rather hear about Mei Yue's own plans for the future than the materials you prepared. …For example, after obtaining financing and expanding the company externally, how do you plan to make Station C go further?"

"Before answering this question, we must first clarify what Linxi Technology, that is, what Station C means to me... In Wen Qi's opinion, what kind of website do you think we are?"

"In my personal opinion, station C should be a video website where two-dimensional culture lovers communicate?"

Wen Qi smiled and said, "If you understand it this way, it should be correct, right?"

"Indeed, as you said, the second dimension we are talking about is actually the collective name of ACGN's four content, namely: animation, comics, games, and light novels." Mei Fang explained, "These four are our CGN content. The main topics discussed by site users.”

"As far as the current actual situation is concerned, A—that is, the anime series of Sakura Country is the most discussed part, but in the end we are just doing transportation. This aspect will be an investment in future copyright competitions that will not be less than bandwidth costs. A lot of spending,"

"Not to mention that we are facing a station A whose number of official members is close to 10 times our size. In addition, whether it is Youku, Tudou, or the recently rising Aiqiyi, it will be a strong competitor. It is simply impossible to turn losses into profits by relying on Series A financing.”

"Although I have said a lot about copyright concerns, this concern is necessary for Station C. I believe your company is also aware of the risk of burning money in this financing."

Mei Fang's answer surprised the three of them including Wen Qi.

"I didn't expect Mei to start thinking about the copyright issue of fan dramas... In fact, we have indeed received news related to copyright. In addition, if Station C wants to grow bigger, it may be difficult if it does not support genuine fan dramas. To be listed, I was thinking about how to let you understand this issue, it seems that Mei has a lot of connections..."

When it comes to listing, Mei Fang actually has no plans to go public, but he is not in a hurry to tell these donors.

"And combined with our domestic status quo and future forecasts, from the perspective of monetization, the G in ACGN, that is, GAME, is the field with the best monetization effect in my opinion."

"That's why there is a sago game?"

Wen Qi smiled and said, "But the games your company currently makes are all biased towards niche themes, and are not so closely related to the second dimension. The sense of fragmentation seems to be more serious. Although we have seen your company use Yuanbao and Station C popularity to promote their new works, but the benefits are still very average.”

"That's normal...it's what we do in our spare time at school, and that's the best we can do."

Another man from Penguin waved his hand and said, "No, don't say 'this level'. I have played the game you made, classmate Mei, and it was really good."

The man gave Mei Fang a thumbs up, but anyone who loves games will appreciate Mei Fang's courage and passion as a pioneer.

"Thank you Brother Zhang for your compliment."

Mei Fang went on to say, "Of course we won't just focus on the independent game in my hand. We will make and publish a lot of games. Some games don't seem to make money at the moment, but in the near future, in the In a global market, it can also bring good income, of course, I also hope to gain a better reputation... So, we really hope that one day we can complete the development of domestic 3A masterpieces."

Before the birth of Black Myth, Goose Factory and Pig Farm were the most anticipated birthplaces of China-made 3A, but they failed to produce results for a long time.

For the games they can’t make, we Ximilu can make them; for the game market they can’t change, we Ximilu can change it, even if we are bruised all over because of it, we must live a beautiful life! This is Mei Fang’s high hope for the future of Similu games.

"Your development strategy at station C also seems to follow the principle of caring for word of mouth... But, to be honest, hasn't Student Mei really considered accepting advertisements and relaxing the requirements for registering full members? I also spent three days to find out the answers to these questions.”

"That, that can't be done!"

Xia Yuan, who has always been reticent, finally had a chance to help Mei Fang, "A Fang often said to us, 'Station C may close down, but it will never deteriorate.' If we violate the In my heart, it's meaningless!"

Lin Youxi also answered from the sidelines, "The average user level of the community forum will always decrease with the large number of general users joining. There is no way to do this. We just want to make this time rhythm slower. "

"Your company's corporate culture, I probably understand now..."

Wen Qi nodded, "All in all, you just want to maintain a pure two-dimensional circle, and you also want to develop a world-famous 3A masterpiece."

"However, based on this consideration, we may need to make some temporary adjustments to the financing funds we talked about before. Please let me consult with our CVC colleagues later."

While Wen Qi was out on the phone, Xia Yuan murmured to Lin Youxi in a low voice, "They don't want to lower the price temporarily, do they? Penguins also do this kind of thing?"

"Don't worry, let's have a look first."

Lin Youxi still looked calm - but at the same time, she also put her hand on Mei Fang's thigh beside her, and began to stroke it gently.

"Sorry... for the long wait."

Wen Qi and her two subordinates finished talking outside, and then hurriedly sat down in their seats.

"This round of venture capital, we plan to add an additional 2 million financing to station C, which means a total of 12 million financing; in addition, we also hope to provide a starting point of about 5 million for Similu Games. In view of the fact that Mei’s company is still in the initial incubation stage, we can also provide support for expatriate employees and some professional guidance. Of course, it depends on you, classmate, whether you need it or not.”

It's completely opposite to what I imagined, wow?

Do you think we really have a bright future?

Originally, Mei Fang had no idea, wondering if there would be any tricks in the financing contract, but after repeatedly confirming that there were no additional harsh conditions, he still expressed the most sincere emotion——

I have to say that holding Penguin's money is really stable and delicious.

Well, the commercial line that everyone doesn’t like is temporarily over, and today is Youxi’s birthday. During the day, I will post a special episode of Youxi. The key word is [reward], check it out Can any friends guess which chapter's reward it is!
