Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

Jin Zhidong is one of the founders of Mihuyou Studio whose technical ability is second only to Cai Haoyu.

Among the four founders of Mihuyou, Cai Haoyu is responsible for the underlying technology, game development, art and product direction. Luo Yuhao is responsible for considering the commercialization of the game, the numerical growth system, and working with Cai Haoyu to study the core gameplay of the game.

In addition to cooperating with the two people's research and development tasks, Liu Wei is also responsible for the internal operations of the studio, recruitment and outbound publicity to find investment. She was also the only customer service girl for the game when the company was short of internal staff in the early days.

But inside the studio, Jin Zhidong's skills are not as good as Cai Haoyu's, and his experience and sensitivity in numerical systems are not as good as Luo Yuhao's, let alone letting him do things like operating and seeking investment from outside, where he has to deal with strangers.

Therefore, Jin Zhidong's function in the studio is more like a panacea.

Cai Haoyu needed help with research and development, so he came here to help. Luo Yuhao needed to modify the numerical system, so Jin Zhidong went over to figure it out together. Liu Wei had new investors to contact.

, Jin Zhidong went over to help prepare promotional materials together.

After discovering that he was not a necessary figure in the studio and becoming increasingly pessimistic about the future development of the studio, Jin Zhidong internally had the idea of ​​quitting.

Although he never dared to tell his friends openly, Jin Zhidong had actually submitted interview applications to several large domestic companies in private.

And just last week, I got an offer from Kyoto Cisco.

If you go there and do well, it may only take two or three years to reach an annual salary of more than 500,000.

This is not the kind of treatment Mihuyou, a small studio, can provide.

Although Jin Zhidong also wants to overcome obstacles with his partners and make a career in the two-dimensional mobile game market.

However, after the failure of the first mobile game and the development of the second mobile game, the capital chain was on the verge of breaking. Investors were not optimistic about their projects one after another. Two-dimensional mobile games did have the problem of too small a market and too few audiences.

It can be said that the future is bleak.

Compared with the relatively good family background of the other three founders, Jin Zhidong's family is just an ordinary family. They provided for him to study all the way to college, and also provided for him to study for three years in graduate school. He really couldn't afford it.

Originally, if everything went well, their studio's mobile games would be able to make a profit smoothly and release new ones one after another. They wouldn't need any big hits, they would just need to be able to maintain the continuous progress of the studio and have good revenue figures.

Even if he only gets a few thousand yuan in salary, he can still give his parents an explanation.

But now, nearly a year has passed since the release of the first mobile game last year, and we finally found a company willing to invest before the capital chain broke.

And in Jin Zhidong's view, Qunxing Company is more like a nouveau riche. Because of the sudden wealth, Mr. Xu does not regard one million yuan as money at all. Investing in Mihu Games is more like a sudden interest.

As a result.

Especially when he followed Liu Wei to Mr. Xu’s office to preach to him about the collapse of the campus, Liu Wei was immersed in the lecture and might not have noticed it, but Jin Zhidong, a bystander, could clearly understand it.

can be seen.

Mr. Xu didn’t care much about what Liu Wei said, nor did he care about two-dimensional mobile games.

Especially after looking at several subsequent conditions proposed by the other party, Cai Haoyu and the others thought that the key issue was the dispute over shares and buyout and free. However, Jin Zhidong believed that Mr. Xu probably only valued Cai Haoyu.

individual’s technical level.

However, it is obviously unrealistic to directly poach the actual controller of the studio, so Mr. Xu settled for the next best thing and chose the condition of sharing technology between both parties.

Therefore, after calling Xu Xing, Jin Zhidong explained the reason why he wanted to sell the Mihuyou shares he currently held, but he did not really have high hopes.

After all, in his opinion, the Unity 2.5D engine that Mr. Xu wanted most has been obtained. After Cai Haoyu develops new technology patents, Qunxing Company can also share these results.

Therefore, it is still unknown whether Mr. Xu is willing to spend more money to take over the shares in his hands.

Mr. Xu's reaction on the other end of the phone also made Jin Zhidong's heart sink.

"Although shareholders of unlisted companies do not need to notify other shareholders when trading equity, after all, Mihuyou Studio and I have just reached a cooperative relationship." Xu Xing's tone was calm, and he did not show any disrespect for Jin Zhi.

Regarding Dong’s interest in the shares in his hand, “I don’t want such a trivial matter to affect our relationship.”

Jin Zhidong fell silent, and after a long time, he said with difficulty: "I will deal with Cai Haoyu and the others afterwards, and I will bear all the consequences."

"Are you sure? You are friends after all. There is nothing wrong with your choice, but it may be quite harmful to them." Xu Xing reminded him with a very kind look, "Before, you didn't even own 20% of the shares.

If you refuse to take it out, you still have about 13% of the shares in your hands. If all this goes into my hands, are you sure they can accept it?"

"What can't you accept?" Jin Zhidong shook his head, "What Cai Haoyu and the others care about is not just the shares, but the control rights behind the shares."

"Even if Mr. Xu adds 13% of the shares in my hand, it will only be 30%. There is no veto power, and the voting power is firmly in the hands of the three of them. In essence, it has no influence on the relationship.

Change."

"As for the previous unwillingness to sell 20% of the shares, it was just a fantasy of our group. We imagined that the game Collapse Campus could turn the tide. If we still need financing for development in the future, at least there will be more shares that can be used.

Use your hands to bargain."

"But in my opinion, although the buyout system of Honkai Campus is more reliable than the free system, it is just a dream to achieve very good results. On the contrary, the probability of falling into the street again will be very high."

"Once the collapse of the campus fails, it is estimated that Mihuyou Studio will find it difficult to maintain, and no matter how many shares it has, it will be in vain."

"I don't want to waste any more time on vain dreams."

After listening to Jin Zhidong's words, Xu Xing chuckled: "You have persuaded Mihu to no avail, how can you let me acquire your shares?"

"Actually, Mr. Xu is not optimistic about two-dimensional mobile games. You just value Cai Haoyu's technical capabilities." Jin Zhidong reached the core and then said, "Even if Mihuyou's new game fails, you will not

If you mind fully acquiring the studio and bringing Cai Haoyu and his team under your control, you should still be able to afford the price for this small amount of shares."

"Then why do I wait until your new game fails before acquiring it?" Xu Xing said leisurely, "Wouldn't it be cheaper then? Anyway, you can't find any other buyers now, except for me.

Cai Haoyu and the others paid for it themselves."

"But all their current funds must be spent on new games. If they really buy shares from you, they probably won't be able to get much out of it."

Xu Xing is obviously much calmer than Jin Zhidong, or he is cold-blooded.

Jin Zhidong also obviously discovered his own problem. He originally thought that the transaction would go smoothly, but he did not realize that at this time, it was a buyer's market for Mihuyou's shares, and Qunxing Company was the only one.

buyer.

This suddenly made his face look ugly.

"Mr. Xu, I really want to quit. Can we be more sincere?"

"Okay." Xu Xing leaned on the railing of the balcony, squinting at the lights in the distance, and said with a smile, "You can make a quote. If the price is right, I will naturally take it over."

Jin Zhidong fell silent, and after a long while, he said with difficulty from the other end of the phone: "...500,000."

Compared to the previous one million for 17% of the shares, now 13% only costs 500,000, which is indeed a very attractive number.

"200,000." But Xu Xing just spat out another cold number, and then said with a smile, "If you can accept it, I welcome you to come and sign the contract at any time. If you can't accept it, you can also wait for Honkai Campus to come online.

Maybe Mihuyou shares will be more valuable at that time."

Jin Zhidong, who was on the other end of the phone, turned red with anger and hung up the phone immediately.

But only about half an hour later, just as Xu Xing returned to the kitchen to help the two girls clear away the dishes, he received another call from Jin Zhidong.

On the phone, Jin Zhidong said feebly: "250,000, Mr. Xu, as long as 250,000, I will sell these 13% shares."

"The game has only been online for a few months. I would be happy if I could save 50,000 yuan." Xu Xing chuckled, "Think about it again, what if the new game becomes popular?"

Jin Zhidong: "..."

The two hung up the phone again.

When Xu Xing and the others had cleaned up the rented house and went out to the studio to prepare for overtime work on the weekend, Xu Xing finally received a call from Jin Zhidong again: "Mr. Xu, 200,000, I accepted, but the money must arrive immediately.

The account cannot be delayed."

Xu Xing raised his eyebrows, then smiled and said: "Today is the weekend, and the bank cannot transfer money, but I can promise you that the money will be credited to your account immediately on Monday."

"This needs to be written into the contract."

"Of course, if you like."

…

After making an appointment with Jin Zhidong to sign the contract tomorrow morning, Xu Xing hung up the phone and continued to work overtime in the office.

It wasn't until around 11 o'clock in the night that the three of them came out of the company together again, strolled back to Brilliance Home, and returned to their three-person rental house.

Their three-bedroom layout is divided into two places.

The bedrooms of Yan Chijuan and Xu Niannian are opposite each other at the end of the corridor where you turn right and go straight, with the bathroom and kitchen next to them.

The living room and dining table are on opposite sides of the small walkway. The balcony is just outside the living room. Xu Xing's bedroom door stands close to the balcony door, and there is a bathroom separated from Yan Chijuan's bedroom.

When he came back in the evening, Xu Xing was still holding the laptop newly issued by the company and discussing the details of the product with Liao Qinyu and Dai Zhuoshan on the sofa and coffee table.

Yan Chijuan and Xu Niannian went to take a shower first.

I have to say that the talents who come out of a certain degree are still of a certain standard.

Although Xu Xing is very familiar with various products in his previous life and knows which functions are popular, have miraculous effects, or can be used for fun.

However, in the specific product development and production process, Xu Xing still learned a lot from Liao Qinyu and others.

The two sides confirmed each other's ideas, Xu Xing provided ingenious ideas, while Liao Qinyu and Dai Zhuoshan were responsible for helping Xu Xing implement the ideas, and at the same time proposed various optimization directions for Xu Xing's reference.

To be honest, if Xu Xing is really allowed to recruit his own team to do this, whether it is the efficiency of research and development or the effect of the final product, I am afraid that it will be far inferior to the result of poaching these senior executives and working together.

Specialized tasks must be left to professionals, and Xu Xing became more and more aware of the importance of this.

I am also very lucky that my uncle Xu Yi arrived during the interview. Xu Yi was not dazzled by his nephew's tens of millions of income and joined directly. Instead, he hired precious technical talents for Xu Xing.

This alone was not something that Xu Xing could do alone.

While Xu Xing was busy in the living room, Yan Chijuan had already entered the bathroom and started taking a bath.

After almost half an hour, after washing, I put on a very conservative pair of pajamas and pajamas, and shouted to Xu Niannian who was doing yoga on the bed in the bedroom: "Sister Niannian, I'm fine, you go and wash."

"Oh!" Xu Niannian responded and walked into the bathroom with a change of clothes.

Watching Xu Niannian close the bathroom door, Yan Chijue first took a few steps towards his bedroom, then hesitated, then quietly turned around and walked towards the living room.

Seeing Xu Xing sitting on the sofa typing on the keyboard and communicating with his colleagues, Yan Chijuan walked to the kitchen in pajamas, took a can of milk from the refrigerator, and filled two glasses with it.

Just when she was about to take the milk and put it in the microwave to heat it up, she thought about it, hesitated and took out an extra cup. Finally, she heated all three cups of milk and put them on the coffee table together.

"Boss, drink milk." Yan Chijiu handed a glass of milk to Xu Xing's hand, then held a glass of milk himself, sat down next to Xu Xing, about half a body away, sipped the milk and drank it, his face

Red.

This was the first time that she appeared in front of Xu Xing wearing only pajamas and pajamas. When she thought that she was wearing nothing underneath, Yan Chijue felt a little hot, and she was too shy to look at Xu Xing.

But Xu Xing was still immersed in work at this time. He just said thank you, took a sip of milk, and continued to chat in detail with Liao Qinyu and others on the computer.

After waiting for about ten minutes, he ended his conversation with Liao Qinyu and Dai Zhuoshan. Xu Xing rubbed his brows and closed his notebook. He leaned on the sofa and breathed a long sigh of relief. Only then did he realize that Yan Chijiu was sitting obediently in pajamas.

Around yourself.

Although this kind of pajamas is quite conservative and there is almost no leakage, Yan Chijuan's curvy figure alone is enough to seduce her.

"Ahem..." Xu Xing reluctantly turned his gaze away and looked away, "It's very late. Let's go to bed after drinking the milk."

"Yeah." Yan Chijiu nodded in agreement and put the last sip of milk on the coffee table. Listening to the sound of water in the bathroom, he stood up from the sofa and walked around behind the sofa, holding his two soft little hands.

He held Xu Xing's shoulders and kneaded them gently, "Thank you for your hard work, boss. I'll give you a massage."

"Well..." Xu Xing closed his eyes comfortably and leaned on the sofa comfortably, silently enjoying Yan Chijuan's service. He raised his head and leaned against the back of the sofa. When he opened his eyes, he could see Yan Chijuan's smooth forehead, but the rest of the

The lower face was obscured by the towering pajamas, making Xu Xing unable to take his eyes away.

From this angle, it feels like the scale is bigger... Yan Chijuan usually wears looser clothes, but now because his upper body is bent forward and his hands are exerting force, he directly tightens his pajamas, causing the entire outline to be clearly visible.

Fortunately, his pajamas were thick and tight, so Xu Xing didn't see any more scenes.

Otherwise, Xu Xing was afraid that he would be over-nourished by now.

After pinching Xu Xing for more than ten minutes, Yan Chijuan's sensitive ears found that the sound of water in the bathroom had stopped, so he quickly let go of his hand, pretended to be a little tired, and returned to the coffee table to drink the milk.

After that, he whispered to Xu Xing: "Then I'm going to bed."

"Well, good night." Xu Xing's body was a little soft after being pressed. He leaned on the sofa and was still thinking about it. He raised his hand to Yan Chiju and said, "Go to bed early and don't play on your phone too late."

"Yeah, good night, boss." Yan Chijuan turned around, trotted back to his bedroom, lay down on the bed and covered himself with a quilt, blinking his big eyes and looking at the ceiling, as if he was in a dream.

We really share a house with the boss... Even though we have an additional sister Nian Nian, it still feels a bit incredible.

Yan Chijuan felt his heart beat a little fast when he thought that Xu Xing would sleep in the bedroom next to him later.

At this time, Xu Niannian had just finished taking a shower and came out wearing a suspender nightgown. Her long hair was wrapped in a towel, exposing her slender white neck.

The hem of the nightgown only reached half of her thighs, and her 1.7-meter-seven white legs were completely exposed, shaking Xu Xing, who was leaning on the sofa, until his eyes were a little dizzy.

"Come on, come on, help me blow down my hair." Xu Niannian handed the hair dryer to Xu Xing, then sat down on the sofa, uncovered the towel on his head, and his long, wet hair fell down.

Xu Xing reluctantly took the hair dryer, stood up and walked behind the sofa. After plugging in the hair dryer, he sighed and said, "I came out to rent a house together to serve you?"

"You talk so much about blowing your sister's hair?" Xu Niannian tilted his head back slightly, letting his long hair fall behind the back of the sofa. He shook his head lightly, and his waterfall hair also swayed, "This is my future.

You can enjoy the treatment that only a boyfriend can get."

"Then if you have the ability, you should find one." Xu Xing curled his lips, lifted up her long hair, and pressed the switch of the hair dryer, and the warm air blew her long hair.

"Didn't I find it?" Xu Niannian muttered in a low voice. After feeling Xu Xing's touch, he suddenly narrowed his eyes in pleasure.

Because the sound of the hair dryer was too loud, Xu Xing couldn't hear what she was saying, so he frowned and asked loudly: "What did you just say?"

"I said! If you make me feel comfortable, I will massage your shoulders later!"

"Hey." Xu Xing shook his head, and then said, "Forget the shoulder, it's not very sore. Please massage my leg later."

"Then it's enough if you press it for me."

Xu Xing blinked and glanced at Xu Niannian's pair of slender legs that were completely exposed after sitting down because her skirt was pulled up, and the movements of her hands couldn't help but pause.

"Actually, it's not impossible. Let's press each other."

"roll!"

…

——————————

On Sunday, September 21, the company's legal affairs officer was called to the company by Xu Xing in advance and signed a share transfer agreement with Jin Zhidong in person.

Xu Xing acquired 13% of the shares of Mihuyou Studio from Jin Zhidong for 200,000, bringing the total shareholding to 30%.

At this time, in Mihuyou's equity structure, Cai Haoyu's shares were diluted to 41% due to Xu Xing's previous participation.

The shares of Liu Wei and Luo Yuhao were diluted to 15% and 14%.

Although Xu Xing is still the second largest shareholder of Mihuyou, the nature of certain things has obviously changed.

The meal has to be eaten one bite at a time, and the road has to be walked step by step. Xu Xing is not in a hurry. For a studio with a temper like Mihuyou, it is impossible to get it right in one step.

But if you work slowly, you can always find more opportunities in the future, so there is no need to rush.

“Happy transaction.”

After signing the contract, Xu Xing shook hands with Jin Zhidong and felt very happy.

Although Jin Zhidong was not very satisfied with the price, the deal was done and he could only accept it.

At least compared to the tens of thousands he initially subscribed for, it is indeed a good investment to be able to get back 200,000.

"Actually, I value your ability more than the stock transaction." Xu Xing let go of his hand and looked at Jin Zhidong and smiled, "If you are willing to come to Stars, I can put you in charge of a new game development project.

The salary is completely on par with Cisco.”

Hearing that Mr. Xu not only acquired shares but also wanted to poach people, Jin Zhidong couldn't help but froze, then laughed and shook his head: "That's not necessary, thank you Mr. Xu for taking this seriously."

"It's okay." That's what Xu Xing said. He didn't expect to actually recruit people, but he still added, "If you don't go well at Cisco, you are still welcome here at any time."

"Okay." Jin Zhidong nodded politely, "Then I will remember this sentence."

…

After Jin Zhidong left, Xu Xing handed the contract to the Legal Department for safekeeping and told Yao Yuanyuan to send the money on Monday.

When the time came on Monday, Jin Zhidong received 200,000 yuan from the bank, quietly took out 100,000 yuan of it, and came to Mihuyou Studio.

Cai Haoyu and others were immersed in work at this time.

Jin Zhidong stood at the door of the studio, looking at the busy backs of his classmates and friends, pursed his lips, put the 100,000 yuan in his hand on the table, and took a deep breath.

"Let me tell you something."

"Everyone, I'm sorry..."
