My Age of Investment

"It counts! Of course it counts!"

In a club in Beijing, Liu Zhiping looked at Wu Yimin sitting opposite him with a smile on his face.

He didn't know whether Wu Yimin suddenly figured it out, or whether he had suffered such a huge injustice in the domestic game that he took the initiative to contact him.

I remember that at the beginning of the year, he met Wu Yimin, who was the guest speaker, at an offline forum on the game industry.

At that time, the other party was on stage talking about the success of CF and DNF, and how agent games should be launched in China and undergo localization transformation.

He listened carefully and found that the other party was indeed outstanding and worthy of the title of the top professional manager in the game industry.

Moreover, the road of being an agent for domestic games is very suitable for Penguin Games!

So, after the meeting, he personally approached Wu Yimin, said a lot of good things, and offered sky-high salary and option conditions, hoping to lure this general to Penguin and save the slow-growing Penguin game.

Wu Yimin's attitude towards him was neither salty nor cool. Apart from accepting his business card, he didn't express much else. After that, he never called him once.

Just when Liu Zhiping didn't have any hope, Wu Yimin actually called him and asked him to come to the capital for an interview.

Liu Zhiping was overjoyed and immediately bought the earliest flight ticket the next day, headed north in a hurry, and then made an appointment with Wu Yimin to the private club for an interview today.

Now hearing that Wu Yimin started mentioning the "promise at the beginning of the year" as soon as they met, Liu Zhiping knew in his mind that it was probably some big turmoil in domestic games or domestic holdings these days that caused Wu Yimin to become dissociated from the company.

This is a great opportunity for Penguin Games!

Liu Zhiping said with a sincere face: "Penguin Games has always respected and cherished talents. As long as Mr. Wu is willing to join Penguin Games, we will appoint you as CEO of Penguin Games and Senior Vice President of Penguin Interactive Entertainment Business."

Seeing Liu Zhiping coming in person and being so generous, Wu Yimin was not as anxious as yesterday.

He shaved his fingernails and said calmly: "As far as I know, Ren Yuxin has always been fully responsible for the development, operation, marketing, channel sales and other tasks of Penguin Games, right?"

The smile on Liu Zhiping’s face did not diminish at all, “Mr. Wu is one of the top figures in the Chinese gaming industry, and the operational achievements of CF and DNF have attracted the attention and admiration of countless domestic peers.

Although we were competitors in the past, Ren Yuxin also deeply admired Mr. Wu's game operation capabilities.

If you are willing to join the Penguin Game, he himself is willing to serve as his deputy to assist you. "

Wu Yimin finally stopped holding it, with a smile on his face, "Mr. Ren won't complain about this, right?"

"How could it be? Top talents only care about each other. If Ren Yuxin dares to complain at work, I will transfer him to be in charge of Penguin's self-developed games. You, Mr. Wu, will be fully responsible for the agency game."

Liu Zhiping said categorically that in order to successfully recruit Wu Yimin, he was very determined. If Ren Yuxin was unwilling to cooperate, Penguin Egg's first social recruitment employee and veteran would have to be transferred elsewhere to move Wu Yimin's home. .

Ren Yuxin's ability to operate games is inferior to others. "QQ Farm" was beaten by "Happy Farm", and several online games she represents can't even see the tail of CF or DNF.

Is the Penguin platform worse than the Hainei.com platform?

If the platform is not bad, then it is a question of the ability of the game leader.

Now that we have finally seized the opportunity to pry a corner and weaken the domestic game, we cannot let it go at any cost.

Wu Yimin has a good impression of Corporal Liu Zhiping Lixian's attitude.

At the same time, he unconsciously compared Zhang Yong's and Xia Jingxing's attitudes towards him, making a distinction between them.

Wu Yimin sneered in his heart. Compared with his current employer, Overseas Holdings, Penguin's layout is obviously much larger and can accommodate people.

Then, the two discussed salary and benefits.

Liu Zhiping smiled and said: "No matter how much salary and options Overseas Holdings gives Mr. Wu, we will give him double!

And after the new game becomes a big success, we will grant Mr. Wu a batch of options with zero exercise price, with the option value starting at at least 100 million.

Since Penguin is a listed company, these options can be bought in the market and converted into Hong Kong dollars or RMB after exercise.

We don’t play with those frivolous things. As long as there is merit, Penguin will never be stingy with rewards. "

Wu Yimin's eyes gleamed when she heard that, at least 100 million yuan in options, and the exercise price is still zero, that is a real equity!

Moreover, Penguin is already a listed company, so there is no need to wait for the company to go public before cashing out, which is convenient and fast.

This condition is quite tempting to Wu Yimin.

On the contrary, he didn't care much about the double salary and option rewards corresponding to the position every year, because even if it were doubled, it would only be 10 to 20 million.

Moreover, there is very little cash, and most of them are options that need to consider the exercise price, so they have limited value.

"Mr. Liu, is there really zero exercise cost?" Wu Yimin didn't quite believe it, so don't try to embarrass yourself!

Liu Zhiping smiled and said, "You heard it right, there is zero exercise cost and the equity will be issued directly!

This part of the equity is not issued through the employee option pool. A part of it is allocated to you from the equity held by Mr. Ma, me, and other senior executives.

Mr. Ma values ​​you very much. He said that 80% of the equity rewards can be paid out of his account! "

Wu Yimin took a breath, this horse is very courageous! Provide equity incentives to employees on behalf of the company.

Where can I find such a good boss?

Liu Zhiping had a clear view of Wu Yimin's shocked expression. If he didn't make the bait more fragrant, how would the fish take the bait?

If you want to get 100 million yuan in options, or equity, there is a major prerequisite: the game must be a big success.

It doesn’t need to be as popular as CF and DNF, but at least it has to be on the same level as “Jitu” and “Dragon Babu”. A game gave birth to a listed company.

If we can really earn 1 to 2 billion and increase Penguin's stock price by 120%, what's the point of giving a 100 million yuan equity reward?

Since the beginning of this year, Penguin's stock price has plummeted, and Bonny and his management are under great pressure.

He got angry when he mentioned this. The Penguin management team had been tricked by Xia Jingxing, and they had taken over the position for the other party.

After Wu Yimin thought for a moment, he immediately made a decision, "Mr. Liu, I am willing to join Penguin, but Overseas Holdings may not be willing to let me go?"

Liu Zhiping smiled slightly, "This matter is simple, just file a lawsuit. When your CEO Zhang Yong joined Overseas Holdings, Shanda was not willing to let him go.

The two companies continued to fight in lawsuits, and finally settled the matter with Overseas Holdings paying millions in compensation.

You don’t have to worry about this, we will hire a team of lawyers for you, and we will pay all compensation. "

Hearing this, Wu Yimin felt relieved and began to look forward to her new career after joining Penguin.

Although Penguin's share price has fallen a lot, its market value is still more than HK$60 billion, far exceeding the valuation of domestic holding groups.

In addition, when holding various meetings, Xia Jingxing listed Penguin as his number one enemy and took this opponent very seriously.

Wu Yimin made some calculations in her mind and felt that her choice to join Penguin should not be bad.

"Mr. Wu, if you join Penguin, do you need to bring some people over? A familiar team will make it easier to command."

Wu Yimin understood the hint and wanted to take the team away with him.

He thought for a while and replied: "I can't guarantee this, I can only say that I will try my best."

"It doesn't matter. As long as you, a great talent, join us, we will be satisfied."

"That's ridiculous!"

"Haha~"

…

The two communicated happily in the room, laughing from time to time, and both felt very satisfied.
