My Age of Investment

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

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

The Rongcheng government came forward and invited experts from all walks of life, the heads of local branches of major banks, to conduct various evaluations on a bunch of details such as technology, projects, financing and loans.

After Xia Jingxing went to a few meetings, he started to be lazy, and even took time to go out and have a hot pot meal.

But he didn't see Yu Youwei, and the other party led a team to open a branch in Shanghai.

Regarding the matter of BOE in Rongcheng, despite the full support of Zhifu Ge, such a large project will take a long time to go through the process.

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

Then he stayed in Rongcheng for an extra day, and waited for Fu Jixun who rushed over from the capital.

Located in the Rongcheng office of Envision Capital in Tianfu Software Park, Xia Jingxing was holding a cup of coffee and looking through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the increasingly bustling park outside.

When he first returned to China the year before last, there were not many companies in the park, but now it has gradually gained some popularity.

Fu Jixun sat on a chair, looked at Xia Jingxing who was standing by the window, and said, "The general situation is like this, Shanda is asking for 100 million yuan, and wants to acquire Jintian Technology, a local online game company in Rongcheng.

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

Now Peng Haitao, the founder of Jintian Technology, is seeking our opinions. His personal tendency is to sell the company.

Although we have only invested in this company for 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 developed and operated two online games, "Legend" and "Fengyun", especially the game "Fengyun", which was launched within half a year. To 6 million registered users.

As a new company and keen on independent research and development, this achievement is already very good.

Taking a step back, even if the company really wants to be sold, it will not be Shanda's turn to take the lead. Maybe domestic games can be considered. "

Xia Jingxing turned around,

He nodded his head lightly and did not speak.

He was recalling the impression of Peng Haitao in his mind. He remembered that he seemed to be not tall, with dark skin and wearing glasses. He looked quite honest and honest, but in fact he was a famous bad student in No. 7 Middle School. He often skipped classes and went out to play games. .

Both he and Peng Haitao were born in 1984, and then both studied in No. 7 Middle School, but they were not in the same class.

But they knew each other well. In the past, 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 did not do homework, but he was admitted to Sichuan University.

There has always been an anecdote about the No. 7 Middle School in Sichuan and Sichuan: if you don’t work hard in high school, you will go to the next door for the college entrance examination.

This next door refers to Sichuan University.

But this is a bit exaggerated, the scumbags of No. 7 Middle School can't even pass the undergraduate course, let alone Sichuan University. But Peng Haitao can be admitted to Sichuan University by skipping classes every day, which is considered a genius, belonging to the kind of talented students.

If Xia Jingxing was envious of Peng Haitao's good game play when he was a student, then even after graduation, he was more envious of Peng Haitao's entrepreneurship than him.

Peng Haitao only studied at Sichuan University for one year before dropping out of school to start his own business. At the age of 23, he sold the company to Shanda and became a billionaire. In 2007, he was quite a successful entrepreneur with gold content.

However, this is not over yet. After working for Shanda for a year, this guy resigned and started a game company. After a year, he sold it to Shanda for more than 100 million.

Since then, Peng Haitao has gradually retreated into the world, and has not left much fame in the mobile Internet era. It may be that he has not kept up with the times, or it may be the game life.

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

Xia Jingxing and Peng Haitao had contacted each other when they were students, but they had no contact since then. A lot of news about each other came from Deng Fenghua.

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

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

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

"Let's see each other first!"

Jintian Technology's office is in the software park, not far from the Rongcheng office of Envision Capital, Xia Jingxing and the two chose to walk there.

When he was about to reach 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 was wearing a wrinkled sports T-shirt and shorts, with a crew cut and a pair of slippers. He looked very casual in his clothes and attire, neither like the CEO of a new game company, nor like the rich second generation, more He was an ordinary college student who spent several nights surfing the Internet.

Xia Jingxing wanted to laugh when he saw this, his slovenly appearance was comparable to Wang Tao's, the two might be of the same kind, 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've known each other since high school, we're alumni at the same level." Xia Jingxing put his arm around Peng Haitao's shoulder and explained to Fu Jixun.

"Back then, everyone was talking about whether you would be the owner of an Internet cafe or a game owner in the future. I didn't expect it to be a prophecy. Mr. Peng, it's enough!"

Xia Jingxing shortened the distance between them with one word, and Peng Haitao smiled: "The company is just for fun."

Xia Jingxing knew that the other party didn't have Versailles, because this guy was just like this, just playing!

He didn't ask Peng Haitao such meaningless questions as to why he didn't contact him, and he didn't contact Peng Haitao in his previous life. They were just ordinary friends in school days. If it wasn't for accidents, there would be no intersection.

After a few pleasantries between the two parties, Peng Haitao led Xia Jingxing and Fu Jixun into the company.

After entering the office area, Xia Jingxing glanced at it casually. The company is not large in size, with only one hundred and eighty people.

Peng Haitao led Xia Jingxing and Fu Jixun into his own independent office, asked them to sit down on the sofa, and ordered the administrator 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 to go public?" Xia Jingxing asked casually.

"Hey, I feel that running a company is too troublesome, and it's not the life I want!"

Fu Jixun glanced at the god-man in front of him, and really wanted to ask "Then what do you want to do", but in the end he held back and didn't ask.

Xia Jingxing smiled, everyone's pursuit is different, Peng Haitao has no worries about food and clothing since he was a child, and he can tell from his clothes that he has very low desire for life. He just likes games. Here we go.

Thinking of this, Xia Jingxing didn't bother to say anything, and directly stated his intentions: "How about selling the company to domestic games? I support your development of Chinese-style games, and reverse export to overseas like "Warcraft" imported to China.

Our Chinese culture has a long history, so it doesn’t make sense to play games developed by foreigners all day long, and some games hack China from time to time. "

Peng Haitao's eyes widened, "Export to overseas?"

Xia Jingxing nodded lightly. He had mentioned to the executives of Overseas Holdings a long time ago that the agent game is only temporary, and in the end he will go the route of self-development and export culture to foreign countries. This is a very meaningful thing for the country and the nation. .

Of course, the bad money that deserves to be spent is still needed, otherwise how can we afford to spend money on research and development, and Chinese style games will definitely be very difficult when they first start. Japanese games and animation are also decades of unremitting investment and accumulation. , to occupy a place in the world.

"Would foreigners like to play?" Peng Haitao's tone was full of doubts.

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

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

Everyone says that I like to redefine industries, and I admit it! So I want to redefine the game industry. "

Sensing the coquettishness 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 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 hobbies?"

Peng Haitao was overjoyed, and the feeling of strangeness that he hadn't seen with Xia Jingxing for several years gradually disappeared.

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

Xia Jingxing nodded lightly, and said again: "At that time when we were playing games in the game hall, we all thought that "Three Kingdoms" was developed by a Chinese game company, but later we found out that Gouyue 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 cultivating immortals are becoming popular again.

With so many themes, how many online games can't be used to develop?

If Chinese-style games can conquer foreigners, I would like to invest in making several blockbuster movies about Chinese mythology and fairy tales in the future. What impression do foreigners have when they watch Chinese movies now? poverty! behind! Stupid!

Games are actually a kind of cultural highland. If you don’t occupy it, others will. You see, young people don’t hate the Japanese very much these days.

I heard that last year a Japanese consortium wanted to acquire the 3D engine of "Fengyun" and find an actress to endorse the game. Jintian Technology categorically refused for the sake of national justice, and would not sell it to Japan even if it released the source code.

Your team is still very strong! "

Peng Haitao smiled embarrassedly: "It's exaggerated, it's just a marketing hype, but if there are Japanese people who really come to buy our company, I won't 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 gain a foothold in the world.

I think Jintian Technology still has a lot of ideas. I heard that your last game "Legend" is the first 3D online game independently developed by China, and the background of the game also refers to a large number of ancient Chinese myths and legends, and adds original creations. Played to create a fantasy world of oriental mythology.

That's a great idea! Many game industry players in China are now focused on making money, and few people think about 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 happy.

"After the domestic game acquires Jintian, will it really invest a lot of money in self-developing Chinese-style games?"

Xia Jingxing smiled faintly: "Why am I lying to you, Hainei.com has now been upgraded to a domestic holding group, positioned as a social pan-entertainment group, and will attack games, animation, film and television, music, online novels and many other entertainment business fields.

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

Peng Haitao nodded: "That's true, our country's culture is actually not bad."

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

Peng Haitao took a long breath, "Okay, I'll sell Jintian to you."

"readily!"

Xia Jingxing stretched out his hand and gave Peng Haitao a high five.

Fu Jixun was stunned, is this the end of the matter? Don't even talk about the price?

"Oh, I almost forgot to mention that the purchase price is still 100 million, which is 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 necessary. From now on, you will be the person in charge of the Rongcheng Studio of Overseas Games, and Overseas Games will inject a sum of funds into you to start the research and development of new games.

With our financial support, Rongcheng is a comfortable and livable place, and you and your team can conduct research and development with peace of mind and make a real masterpiece. "

Peng Haitao laughed and said, "It sounds pretty good."

Xia Jingxing smiled. What he liked was Peng Haitao's obsession with games. He made a small investment to try it out, just to fill in the missing map of self-developed games.

It doesn't matter if you fail, the profits from the agency game can support a self-developed game team.
