Starting From The Internet Shenhao
Chapter 216
Hu Baoqiang really seriously considered Chen Hao's proposal.
He has been in the game industry for many years and knows that this industry is getting harder and harder to do.
It's not that games are not making money, on the contrary, the revenue of some popular games has exploded in the past two years!
but……
Tianyu Interactive has never made a hit game.
Moreover, with the efforts of big factories such as Goose Factory, Pig Factory, and Lilith, it is increasingly difficult for small game manufacturers to survive.
It can be said that most gamers are attracted to the games of those big companies.
For small and medium-sized game companies, it is getting less and less money.
In the past, it was possible to fool some players' money through trust, krypton gold system, etc.
But players have played too many games in recent years, and they have become more and more savvy.
It's not easy to deceive Krypton these days.
It can be seen from the experience of the company’s just-launched "Eternal Song". It was placed two years ago and invested several million in publicity expenses. At least it can make the game a small fire in a short time and drive him four or five. Ten new districts are no problem.
But now, as soon as ten districts have been opened, it is showing a weak state.
And the players who flickered, the recharge amount barely equaled the publicity expenses invested, and they didn't make any money at all!
If he can sell the company at a good price, Hu Baoqiang is actually quite happy.
However, he still has deep feelings for Tianyu Interactive.
This company, from scratch, was built by Hu Baoqiang after more than ten years of hard work.
Suddenly selling it, he couldn't accept it emotionally.
What's more, he is only in his early forties this year, and he is still early to retire.
He runs this company not just for making money.
So Hu Baoqiang is a bit embarrassed.
After thinking about it for a long time, he hesitated to ask: "Then how much does Mr. Shen plan to spend on Tianyu Interactive?"
He plans to listen to Chen Hao's quotation first. If he really gives too much, then it is not impossible to sell.
If the price is lower than your expectations, then forget it.
If you have a company of your own and have a certain scale, don't care about making more or less, others will shout "Mr. Hu" when they see it!
And with so many employees under his control, he can also bring himself a sense of accomplishment.
…………
Seeing Hu Baoqiang hesitated, Chen Hao also guessed his thoughts.
Smiled and stretched out three fingers: "Thirty million!"
The price is not nonsense. Chen Hao has worked at Tianyu Interactive for a year, and he has a good understanding of this company.
The company's situation has not been very good in the past two years. After one year, the revenue has only reached 30 million.
Excluding various expenses, a net profit of 2 million is not bad.
30 million by oneself, which is equal to the company's fifteen-year net income, which is also reasonable.
Of course, this is just what Chen Hao thinks is reasonable.
From Hu Baoqiang's side, he felt unreasonable.
When Hu Baoqiang heard this price, he shook his head again and again, "Too little! Tianyu Interactive is definitely more than this price. In the past few years, the company had a net profit of tens of millions a year!"
Chen Hao smiled and said, "Mr. Hu, you also said that it was a few years ago. How much can the company make in a year now? What about the future?"
In fact, this involves a judgment on the company's future development.
If Hu Baoqiang thinks that Tianyu Interactive can develop in the future and regain its brilliance, then 30 million will be sold at an absolute blood loss.But Chen Hao's judgment is that this company is just like that, the technical team is mediocre, and it is impossible to make any explosive games. The company does not have much financial resources to invest in research and development of masterpieces, and is not willing to spend money on marketing, so what to do for development.
The reason why he bought Tianyu Interactive is not really counting on how much money this company will make for him.
The purpose is to give oneself a share in the business that can be obtained, and then to have a source of the huge "legal but unreasonable" source of funds...
Although the funds rewarded by the system every day are legal, there will be no related departments to trouble themselves.
But people who are familiar with Chen Hao will always feel that something is wrong. A person who is idle all day, suddenly took out tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. This matter cannot be explained clearly to his family and friends.
So build a decent company, and it's a game industry with a high capital flow.
In this way, no one will doubt the source of his funds.
Just like what he just said, it's nothing more than being familiar with Tianyu Interactive. This company has a complete structure, rich experience, and ready-made games in operation.
After the acquisition, Chen Hao's new company will be in place in one step, and there is no need to toss about large-scale recruitment of employees and search for game agents everywhere.
…………
After thinking about it for a long time, Hu Baoqiang was still reluctant to sell the company.
But on a whim, he thought of a better way, and said: "How about I sell you the "Eternal Song" project! Then you select some employees from several departments of the company, so you don't need to buy it. The entire company has its own projects and mature employees!"
Chen Hao was taken aback, feeling that Hu Baoqiang's idea was quite good!
In fact, even if he acquires Tianyu Interactive as a whole, he will definitely lay off some people.
Because the new company does not need so many employees at all, especially the many employees of Tianyu Interactive, he also looks down on it.
The idea that Lao Hu came up with now did two birds with one stone and solved all the problems perfectly.
However, Chen Hao didn't show any expression on his face and smiled: "This can also be considered, but it's just a game project, and it's not very effective in operation. Adding some employees, it's not worth much."
When it comes to the price issue, Hu Baoqiang has the spirit.
He stared and retorted: "You know this game, but the company invested a lot of money and spent two years building it! The reason why the operation effect is not good now is that the company does not have enough money to promote it. Isn’t that the case in the gaming industry? Games alone are useless, and you need to be able to promote them."
Chen Hao didn't bother to entangle these things with him, and asked bluntly: "How much money Hu always wants, let's just say it."
Rolling his eyes, Hu Baoqiang stretched out two fingers and said confidently: "At least 20 million! It's not sold for one cent! This is not just buying a game, there are also many key employees!"
Chen Hao got up directly and said angrily: "Then there is nothing to talk about. I will go to the finance and pay the contracting expenses, and the contract will end. When our company opens, I will send an invitation to President Hu and leave. "
Hu Baoqiang looked a little panicked.
Quickly got up, took Chen Hao's arm, and said with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, it's not like that when discussing business. I said my price, you quote your price, and talk slowly."
"I don't have so much time. The price is 10 million. If I can sell it, I can't sell it. I don't know what the game "Song of Eternity" is like. To be honest, I will pay 5 million. If you can buy a game of this quality, the other five million will be compensation for taking away some employees from the company."
Chen Hao said simply.
The price of 10 million is really not underpaid, and it is considered a conscience price.
But Hu Baoqiang didn’t think so. He said with pain on his face: “Don’t you know, Mr. Shen, the development cost of this game is several million. In the previous game, I had spent nearly 5 million in publicity expenses. ! These two items add up to more than ten million. Now you say ten million packaged and bought, I... I'm going to die!"
From the perspective of Lao Hu, ten million is indeed at a loss.
Chen Hao hadn't considered the five million propaganda expenses just now, but now listening to Lao Hu say that, it seems to make some sense.
But when he thought about it, it was wrong, why did he have to buy the copyright of the game too!
This is not a popular game, and I will not create any "big IP" around this game.
Don’t you just buy an agency right?
So he opened his mouth and said: "That's good, I won't buy all the game copyrights, but only half of it. That is, our two companies jointly own the copyright of "Eternal Song". Then both parties have the right to redevelop the original version of the game. You can also run this game freely after you upgrade. What does Mr. Hu think?"
The solution Chen Hao gave was actually an upgraded version of the contract he had just started to contract for the server!
It means that he bought the permanent operation rights of "Eternal Song" and has the right to upgrade and revise the game.
In addition, Lao Hu’s company can continue to operate the game, and the initial publicity costs are not in vain. As for whether the game can be operated well and whether it can make money, everyone has their own ability.
Chen Hao is naturally worthy.
After he has the right to operate this game, is he still worried about not being able to drain it?
Are you still worried about game revenue?
To be honest, there will be a sudden consumption of gods in the game at that time, and one person will support the revenue flow of the game. This is reasonable...
After all, there are too many legends about Shenhao in each game!
…………
Hu Baoqiang's eyes lit up, and he slapped his thighs and said excitedly: "It is still Mr. Shen that is smart! I think this plan is okay! Then do it according to Mr. Shen's intention, ten million, the game copyright is divided equally, our two companies operate separately, and then From here, let Mr. Shen select some employees over!"
Chen Hao didn't bother with him on the price anymore, after all, Lao Hu was considered to have helped himself.
He nodded and said, "No problem, but I have to pay for the cost in installments. It may take ten days after the renovation of our company is completed. The first payment will be paid at that time, three million, and the remaining one will be paid within one year."
This is not a big problem, after all, Lao Hu felt that he was taking advantage of this transaction.
Therefore, the payment method is not too true.
Old Hu Xing rushed to draw up a game copyright transfer contract. After the two agreed on the cooperation method and the payment period, there was no problem after reading it again, signing and sealing!
Cooperation reached!
…………
"Then Mr. Shen..., how do you choose employees? But let me first say that the manager level of the core department and higher levels are not within the scope of selection. In addition, the employees who are favored by Mr. Shen have the right to choose freely. If people don’t want to go there, then we can’t force it."
Hu Baoqiang said again.
"Of course, I won't force my family to go to my company. That's it. President Hu convenes a meeting with all the employees to announce our cooperation, and then let the employees who are willing to pass to sign up freely. Find a time, I recruited employees to visit the company, and then talk about them one by one, and select some suitable employees to join." Chen Hao replied.
Hu Baoqiang nodded, and said uneasy: "Don't dig too many people, the total number should not exceed 30, otherwise there will be a problem here."
In fact, he was too worried about this question. Chen Hao hadn't planned to ask many people.
The main thing is to choose some people from the game development department. After all, they developed this game and are very familiar with it.
After the past, you can directly take over the maintenance and redevelopment of the game, which saves a lot of trouble.
As for other departments, such as logistics, administration, personnel, customer service, etc., Chen Hao will not consider employees here.
Because of the lack of quality, he is not worthy of his company!
…………
In the large conference room, Tianyu Interactive employees walked in one after another.
Xiao Liu and his colleagues murmured as they walked in, "What's wrong, why is Lao Hu holding meetings every week recently? Is the company going bankrupt?"
"Who knows, but I learned about it. It seems that the company's new game is not optimistic, and it has spent a lot of money to promote it, and the result is very poor."
The colleague shrugged and said helplessly.
When everyone came in and sat down, the company executives walked in, surrounded by Lao Hu and a young man.
Everyone turned their heads to look, but when they saw it, many people exclaimed.
"Little Shen!"
"What's the situation? This is Xiao Shen, right?"
"Isn't this Xiao Shen from the original customer service department? Why did he come with Lao Hu."
"This person looks like Xiao Shen, but it doesn't have to be. Xiao Shen doesn't have... this aura."...
No wonder everyone is surprised, because many people in the company know Chen Hao.
After all, the company has a total of more than two hundred people. Every day, you can't see the people who look down.
Especially a few days ago, Chen Hao, a small customer service, unexpectedly contracted the company's new game!
Although it is only a server, it has also caused a lot of repercussions within the company.
Everyone has been discussing it for a while.
Today I saw Chen Hao and his boss Hu Baoqiang walking in side by side, and seeing that, Hu Baoqiang was still very polite to him. Of course everyone was surprised.
Hu Baoqiang and Chen Hao walked to the front of the stage and turned to face everyone.
Chen Hao did not say a word, but looked at the audience with a smile on his face, with a natural expression.
Hu Baoqiang raised his hands and pressed down to signal everyone to be quiet.Then he said, "My colleagues, good afternoon everyone!"
Everyone in the audience responded in unison like a conditioned reflex: "Good! Very good! Very good!"
Hu Baoqiang nodded in satisfaction.
This is also a habit of the company. When a leader speaks hello to everyone, the people in the audience must respond in this way, and the voice must be loud enough!
As for what it does, then the ghost will know...
Hu Baoqiang continued: "I announce a good news!"
Hearing this, many colleagues bowed their heads and sighed, because the last time Hu Baoqiang announced the so-called good news, he asked everyone to pay for the game server.
No one was fooled by him at the time...
It’s not right. Someone is “deceived”, isn’t that Chen Hao?
Without the reaction of everyone in the audience, Hu Baoqiang continued to announce with a smile:
"After negotiation, President Shen and I..."
Originally, he wanted to say the name of Chen Hao's company, but he realized that Chen Hao didn't say what his company's name was.
But this is not difficult for Hu Baoqiang. He flipped through the contract at hand and looked at the place where Chen Hao signed and sealed the last page.
Then continued: “Our Tianyu Interactive Company and Mr. Shen’s Lemon Mutual Entertainment Company have reached an agreement to form a strategic partnership! The two companies jointly operate the game "Song of Eternity"! In order to help Mr. Shen’s Lemon Mutual Entertainment Company , So some employees will be transferred from Tianyu Interactive to join Lemon Interactive Entertainment. Everyone can sign up freely."
After Hu Baoqiang said these words, the audience was in an uproar.
This is beyond everyone's expectations!
what's the situation?
Chen Hao started a company by himself?
Do you want to cooperate fully with Tianyu Interactive?
In addition, some employees have to go to Chen Hao Company?
This is unreasonable!
Isn't Chen Hao still a small customer service a few days ago?
How come you are now the boss of the company after a change!
Chen Hao's old colleague, Xiao Liu from the customer service curled his lips and said in a small voice:
"Fucking ghosts! What is Lemon Huyu? What kind of leather bag company is it! Oh, I see, the office address of this Lemon Huyu company is that small office. But that room seems to have a lot of people. Well, ghosts are willing to go!"
The small office that Xiao Liu said was the room that Chen Hao asked Hu Baoqiang for, and many employees at the company knew about it.
So after Xiao Liu finished speaking, several employees next to her laughed out loud.
Obviously, no one would think that Chen Hao can create a decent company.
It is probably a game studio.
Although Tianyu Interactive is not doing very well here, it is still a formal game company anyway, and the treatment is not bad, and the five insurances and one housing fund are also paid for everyone.
Who wants to go to a game studio?
If you can't make any money, the boss just runs away.
Everyone in the audience was whispering, but obviously, no one was optimistic about Chen Hao's lemon mutual entertainment company, and no one raised their hands to sign up.
Chen Hao's former "good buddy", the old Wu of the technical department.
That is, Chen Hao asked him to borrow money at the time, and he asked Chen Hao to ask "Are you there" again, and then answered the "good buddies" who were "absent".
Old Wu turned his head in disdain and said to his colleague next to him: "Chen Hao, this kid is getting more and more unreliable. He used to be a very honest young man. Why is he running a train now! Fortunately, he asked me to borrow money a while ago, but I decisively refused. This kind of person, who would dare to believe what he said!"
…………
At this time, Chen Hao spoke.
He stepped forward, smiling, and said in a small voice:
"Maybe everyone doesn't know about our lemon mutual entertainment company, then let me briefly introduce it. After listening to it, maybe everyone is interested."
