Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

Mihuyou, a company, can be said to be a wonder in the domestic gaming industry.

Because it has mixed reviews, I can only evaluate it this way.

However, considering that almost no Internet company has a good reputation, from a purely business perspective, Mihuyou can be considered to have found an alternative path to success.

The result of this success is that until 2022, when Xu Xing travels back in time, Mihuyou's annual revenue will exceed at least 30 billion yuan, and its net profit will be approximately more than 15 billion yuan.

If it is really going to be listed in the future, based on this revenue and net profit estimate, Mihuyou's market value must be at least 450 billion, or even more.

But that’s not what’s scary about Mihuyou.

After all, there are many Internet companies with higher market value than it.

What's really outrageous about it is that its share structure is so simple.

It is as simple as three individual shareholders and one angel investor.

Among them, three individual shareholders are the founders of Mihuyou, and they also graduated from Min University. Back at this point in 2012, these three people should still be studying in the same dormitory as graduate students.

And it was these three technical talents who took Mihu Tour through the game all the way. They actually turned a small studio into a company with a market value of hundreds of billions with only an initial investment of one million yuan.

Moreover, the equity structure has not changed during this period, it has not received any external investment, and it has even actively invested in many other companies in the related industry chain.

This can be said to be a miracle for both domestic and foreign Internet companies.

Although this miracle is based on the results of a large number of krypton elders...

But this is not an issue that Xu Xing needs to consider at the moment.

The key question now is, has Mihuyou obtained the angel investment of one million yuan?

After all, apples have become pineapples, and even the epoch-making Apple 4 has become Pineapple 5. The Fruit Ninja, which was once on the shelves in 2010, has also disappeared...

In addition, there are many changes in the world line. Xu Xing has been reading the daily news during this period, all in order to confirm the situation one by one with future generations.

But this was the first time that Xu Xing found news about Mihuyou, a studio that was still in its infancy.

And I saw it in the university’s entrepreneurship competition.

In this case, it is very likely that they are still worried about the funding of the studio and have not yet met an angel investor.

It is even possible that due to changes in the world line, they were unable to wait for this investment, causing the behemoth of later generations to disappear directly in the process of this world.

After all, many inevitable events in history are often the result of many accidental events connected in series.

And sometimes it only takes one of the points to deviate, and then countless subsequent nodes will naturally collapse accordingly.

Thinking of this, Xu Xing silently recorded the time and place of the finals of this entrepreneurial competition.

Lecture Hall No. 3, Administration Building, September 7...

Hmm... Although Xu Xing doesn't even have 10,000 yuan on hand now, if he waits until next month, maybe everything will be different.

An angel investment of one million yuan is not something that cannot be considered.

…

It's another early morning.

Xu Xing has fallen asleep peacefully.

And Li Zhibin, who was far away at Kyoto University in Kyoto, fell into staying up late again.

When the time came to 00:00, Li Zhibin immediately refreshed the game classification interface of the App Store, and then clicked to enter the secondary page. He immediately found Fruit among the dozen new games in the "Latest Games" column.

The figure of the assassin.

This made him excited all of a sudden, and he couldn't help but wave his fist on the bed.

The roommate opposite who was still chatting with his girlfriend on QQ heard the commotion and couldn't help but remind him in a low voice: "Brother Bin, please be more restrained and don't disturb them."

Li Zhibin had a black line on his head and tried to explain: "I didn't..."

"I understand, I understand." The roommate turned over to express his understanding, "I suggest you find a girlfriend as soon as possible."

Li Zhibin: "..."

Seeing that he couldn't explain it, Li Zhibin simply gave up the struggle and returned his gaze to the screen of his mobile phone.

Then he watched the number of downloads of Fruit Assassin begin to climb at a very slow rate.

From the initial 82, it slowly reached 91, and after a few minutes, it became 102 again.

Seeing that the number of downloads jumped from two digits to three digits, Li Zhibin quickly took a screenshot and saved it. Then he barely held down the fist he wanted to swing, and suppressed his excitement and excitement on the bed in the dormitory.

Especially after an hour passed, the number of downloads quickly exceeded 200, which made Li Zhibin blush all over, as if he had made a lot of money.

Only then did he realize. No wonder Xu Xing looked very calm before. It turned out that after being promoted, so many people downloaded.

But after staying up until one o'clock in the morning, Li Zhibin couldn't stand it any longer.

After more than a week of military training, his body was getting tired day by day. After confirming that the Fruit Assassin was saved, Li Zhibin threw his head down and started snoring.

Even though his roommate next door was grinding his teeth, it didn't stop him from falling asleep.

…

At noon on the 26th, while Xu Xing was having lunch, Li Zhibin sent an excited condolence message.

[A Bin]: Xu Xing Xu Xing! Have you seen it? The number of downloads of Fruit Assassin has exceeded a thousand! Damn it has exceeded a thousand!

[A Bin]: It was only 200 last night. I got up late in the morning and didn’t have time to watch it. But when I saw it at noon, I was immediately stunned!

[A Bin]: There were 1,000 downloads in half a day. Isn’t that 2,000 in one day? That’s 14,000 in one week!

[A Bin]: If you sell 10,000 copies, you can get your money back. Now you can make more money.

[A Bin]: And after we get our money back, every time one more person downloads the game, all we make will be pure profit!

Xu Xing was speechless when he saw this series of news bombardment.

But after thinking about it, I realized that it was normal. After all, Li Zhibin was not a reborn person, he was just a college student who had just entered university.

Now that the studio game he participated in has achieved certain results, and it seems that he can still make a lot of money, this kid must be excited and excited.

Although Li Zhibin only works as a handyman in the studio, he can still be regarded as a member of the company. It is normal to be so excited.

[Yicai Yanyu]: Don't be so excited first. If you continue like this, I'm really afraid that you will jump off the balcony of your dormitory when you are happy.

[A Bin]: It’s okay. I’m on the playground now, not in the dormitory.

[Yicao Yanyu]: That would be even more terrifying. I'm afraid that if you are happy, you will take off your clothes and scream in the playground.

【Abin】:???

[A Bin]: When will you be able to speak more seriously?

[Yi Li Yanyu]: Isn’t it because you are too excited? Let’s relax a little.

[A Bin]: No, aren’t you happy? Our game is going to make a lot of money.

[A Bin]: If I can still grow at such a rate after placing a recommendation, wouldn’t I be able to put hundreds of thousands of net profits in my pocket in a month?

[A Bin]: This is just picking up money!

[Yicai Yanyu]: First of all, let me correct you. Even if the game is released, the follow-up costs will not be without cost.

[Yicai Yanyu]: Normally, Fruit Assassin definitely needs operation and maintenance, and subsequent version iterations and updates are required. In this regard, at least a small team is needed to support the operation.

[Yi Liao Yanyu]: This part of the labor cost alone will cost at least tens of thousands of dollars per month. What’s more, I haven’t talked about the rental cost of office space and the server rental and operation after the number of game players soared.

dimension cost.

This series of expenses directly poured cold water on Li Zhibin, allowing him to temporarily cool down.

[A Bin]: Uh...is it so troublesome?

[Yi Li Yanyu]: So A Bin, you still have time to study. If you have time to care about the results of our game, you might as well spend this time and energy on how to improve yourself.

【Abin】:...I understand.

【Abin】: Hey! The number of downloads is 1,100!

Xu Xing: "..."

Mom's words were all in vain.

Forget it, let's get him excited first. Xu Xing turned off the chat screen with him and looked at the messages sent by others.

[Yuanchengqiu]: Hey! Now you finally have money to rent an office space, right?

[Yuanchengqiu]: When can you find time? I'll come over and check out the venue with you. You can finalize the contract first and then pay it when the money comes next month.

Xu Xing thought for a while and simply replied.

[Yi Li Yanyu]: You can come over first and walk around the place alone, and I will give you the address.

[Yicai Yanyu]: I still have military training and the opening ceremony on September 1st, and then I will have time to go out and do things.

[Yicai Yanyu]: We can discuss it after you read it. If possible, you can just sign the contract in advance.

[Yuanchengqiu]: That’s fine, I’ll contact you when I get here.

After settling Yao Yuanyuan's side, Xu Xing returned to the dormitory after lunch and received another bombardment of messages from Xu Niannian.

Similar to Li Zhibin, but Xu does not need military training every year. Yesterday he stayed up until three or four o'clock in the morning, watching the downloads of Fruit Assassin exceed 500.

He had just woken up, but Xu Niannian discovered that the sales volume of Fruit Assassin had exceeded one thousand. He was immediately overjoyed and quickly took a screenshot and sent it to Xu Xing to show off.

[Nian Nian]: Look! Look! What is this!

[Nian Nian]: After this week, this game will definitely make its money back! You can start making money later!

[Nian Nian]: Maybe I can even get a bonus~

Yes, yes, and I will send you the bonus... Xu Xing looked helplessly at the message from his sister and complained in his heart.

However, on QQ, Xu Xing simply replied with two words.

[Yi Li Yan Yu]: Awesome.

Xu Niannian is indeed very happy now. After all, it is the first game project he has participated in in his life, and it has been successful.

Although this success seems relatively small now, it is already a big positive incentive for Xu Niannian.

However, Xu Niannian didn't know that this game was made by her dear brother, so when facing Xu Xing, she still had a simple show-off mentality.

Compared to Li Zhibin, who was shocked to see his brother's game start to make money, Xu Niannian is more restrained.

After chatting for a few more words, Xu Xing lay on the bed and squinted for a while, then got out of bed and turned on the Pineapple computer. Before the military training started in the afternoon, he connected to the external network and didn't know what he was tinkering with.

…

At night, Yan Chijuan came over again and openly took Xu Xing away from his beloved roommates on the pretext of wanting to use his mobile phone to play games.

Being stared at by Lu Pengyou with resentful eyes all the way into the cafeteria, Xu Xing and Yan Chijuan found a corner seat to sit down after dinner, and started eating dinner.

This time, Yan Chiju ordered two different meat dishes from before.

After discovering that her boss had lied to her when she said she loved pork liver during the summer vacation, Yan Chijuan began to secretly work hard to try to eat with her boss more often, and then collected and sorted out her boss's favorite recipes bit by bit.

Naturally, Xu Xing didn't know the little thoughts of his young employees, and his mind was filled with the studio's future development plan.

"Yao Yuanyuan may come over in the next two days. I asked her to visit the entrepreneurial parks in advance. Then we can decide on the office location in advance."

"Is it because the game makes money?" Yan Chijie asked curiously, "I remember it was already on the recommendation list today."

"Well, the sales are pretty good." Xu Xing took out his phone and took another look, "The number of downloads is already 1,500."

"One thousand and five..." Yan Chijiu chewed the number in his mouth and counted with his fingers, "Isn't that more than four thousand US dollars? If converted into RMB... um... thirty thousand yuan?!"

"Actually, it's not that much." Xu Xing couldn't help but laugh a little when he looked at her bright-eyed expression of a money-lover, "We can probably get more than 10,000 in our own hands."

"That's awesome!" Yan Chijuan jumped for joy when he thought of this figure, "We only spent tens of thousands of dollars in two months to make this game, but now it only takes a few days to complete it.

I can make money back.”

"Then if you invest money in new games, then invest in new games and then new games..."

It was rare for Yan Chijuan to talk so much. Various numbers were running through his mind, and he suddenly felt that the future of the studio was bright.

In this way, she no longer has to worry about the game being popular and causing the studio to disband, and the little connection between herself and Xu Xing to be severed.

Now that the game's performance has improved, she can continue to stay in the studio. Not only will she get a salary, but she can also be by Xu Xing's side.

There is probably nothing happier than such a life in the world, right?

Thinking of this, Yan Chijuan was so happy that her feet began to sway under the table. After accidentally kicking Xu Xing's knee, she apologized in embarrassment and quickly retracted her feet to the chair.

under.

"Don't be too happy yet." Xu Xing glanced at the little girl's happy face and reminded with a chuckle, "This is just the beginning."

After all, the publicity I prepared has not yet been launched.

…

In the evening, Xu Xing sat at his desk, and his Pineapple computer was connected to the external network.

I took a look at the number of downloads of Fruit Assassin. It is currently 1,900, and the time is 11 o'clock in the evening on August 26.

【It’s almost time】
