The Ten Years of Rebirth

Chapter 119 One million is just the starting point
After spending the whole morning in the private room of the Internet cafe, Xu Xing and Yan Chijiu didn't waste any time and continued to build the framework for the Android version of Fruit Assassin.

After discovering that there were a lot more codes than yesterday, Xu Xing knew that the girl Yan Chi must have secretly worked overtime last night.

It feels like raising a programmer version of the snail girl.

"Why hasn't the food been brought up yet?"

At noon, Xu Xing waited until it was almost twelve o'clock, but he didn't see Yao Yuanyuan bringing a boxed meal up for lunch, so he couldn't help getting up and walking out of the private room, walking all the way to the half of the stairs, and shouting to the front desk below: "Yao Yuanyuan! Where's today's lunch ?!"

"Oh! Come right now! Wait a little longer!"

Yao Yuanyuan below was talking to a woman at this moment, and only after hearing Xu Xing's voice above did she realize that she was going to bring food.

So he quickly said to this woman: "Anyway, that's the thing. I should still be in the Internet cafe these few days. You can get started first. If you have any questions, just ask me."

"Let's do this first, the front desk is left to you." Pei Qinglan, who was standing beside Yao Yuanyuan, waved her hand, said something to the woman, and then glanced at Yao Yuanyuan, "Do you want to eat? Me too?"

"Okay." Yao Yuanyuan agreed, asked her mother what she wanted to eat, and then ran to the restaurant next door to get a boxed lunch.

Carrying four lunch boxes back to the Internet cafe, Yao Yuanyuan walked in front, Pei Qinglan followed, and the two walked upstairs to the private room together.

"I haven't heard you talking about the studio recently, how is it going?" Pei Qinglan asked as she went upstairs.

"Ahem." Yao Yuanyuan was very serious, cleared his throat and said, "This involves the internal secrets of our studio, and it will not be disclosed to the public for the time being."

"Very good." Pei Qinglan nodded decently, but she was not angry at all, but encouraged, "We must have this kind of awareness in the future, and don't tell others what should not be said, even if it is a close person. Consider the risk of leaking some information."

"Actually, it's not impossible to talk about it." Yao Yuanyuan laughed and said, "But anyway, we have to eat together. After a while, mom, you can just ask Xu Xing directly. I'm just in charge of finances, and I don't know how to play games."

"Then your studio has run out of money?"

"Ahem...don't say it, don't say it." Yao Yuanyuan shook her head again and again, this professional ethics is still required.

The two walked up to the second floor, Yao Yuanyuan opened the door and entered the private room, and put the boxed lunch on the coffee table.

Xu Xing heard the movement at the door, got up and saw Pei Qinglan, his eyes were slightly surprised, and then he said with a smile: "Long time no see, auntie."

"Well, it's really been a long time." Pei Qinglan nodded with a chuckle, "Do you mind having lunch together?"

"How come? Auntie doesn't mind." Xu Xing pulled up a chair and sat on the side of the coffee table, Yan Chijiu sat on the side of the single sofa, Yao Yuanyuan and Pei Qinglan sat on the couch together.

The four of them sat in a circle, opened their lunch boxes, ate and chatted.

"I wanted to ask Yuanyuan how the progress of your studio was going, but my daughter is more moral and refused to tell me." Pei Qinglan first made a small joke, and then asked, "You guys start school today, right? , has the game been made yet?"

"It has been submitted for review." There is nothing to hide about this matter, so Xu Xing said directly, "It will be officially launched on the App Store after passing the review in a few days."

"Domestic?" When Pei Qinglan heard that she had entered the review process, she couldn't help but subconsciously took out her Pineapple phone, clicked on the App Store, and glanced at the new product recommendation column in the game category.

I don't know if Xu Xing and his studio's fruit-slicing game has a chance to get exposure on it.

But in the next second, Pei Qinglan heard Xu Xing shaking his head and said: "It's not domestic for now, we're going to the North American market first."

Pei Qinglan was stunned for a moment, and after a few seconds, a lot of information was integrated and analyzed in her mind, and she suddenly came to a realization.

"Very smart decision."

She is not Li Zhibin, so she is very aware of some differences between domestic and foreign markets.

Especially in the field of mobile phones, it will be an important investment target in the investment field in the next decade or so. Naturally, Pei Qinglan has done in-depth research.

If the first goal of the games produced by Xu Xing and his studio is to be listed on the App Store of Pineapple Phone as the first distribution channel, then purely from the current situation, the North American market must be a better option than the domestic market.

The first point is that although Pineapple 5 has sparked a huge trend in the world, and China has a huge population of [-] billion, the number of people who can actually buy Pineapple phones is not as large as the number of users in the North American market.

This can be concluded from the shipment data of pineapple mobile phones in various places this year.

And the second point, Pei Qinglan, who has worked in an Internet cafe, knows one thing very well. China's game payment atmosphere and environment are not at the same level as the development scale of the game payment system in North America.

In the current mobile games, especially on the App Store, mobile games with paid buyout system are still the mainstream trend for the time being, and not many people are exploring the model of free mobile games.

Therefore, releasing games in the North American market, where the buyout system prevails, is undoubtedly a better choice than releasing games in China.

Thinking of this, Pei Qinglan's eyes towards Xu Xing changed slightly.

She didn't know whether Xu Xing really knew the reasons behind these things, or if he simply yearned for foreign markets, but such a decision alone was already worth a lot.

Especially if you want to release games in foreign markets, the language used inside the game must also be English, which requires that the person in charge must determine this during the game production process.

In other words, as early as in the middle of the game's production process, Xu Xing had already confirmed that the game would be released in North America first.

It has to be said that Pei Qinglan originally thought that she had a high enough opinion of Xu Xing when she came last time, but after this exchange, it seemed that her views on Xu Xing needed to be refreshed and reconstructed.

"Auntie, thank you." Xu Xing said very modestly, "I just think that foreigners are developed countries after all, and there are more people with spare money. They shouldn't mind spending some money to buy our games."

To put it bluntly, foreigners have a lot of money, and it is relatively smooth for Karma, especially the buyout system, which makes it easier to make a fortune in North America.

Pei Qinglan didn't believe in what he said, but just listened to it tentatively.

Now she no longer regards Xu Xing as a quasi-freshman, but looks at Xu Xing from the perspective of an investor looking at an outstanding entrepreneur.

"You don't have to be humble. I have to say that your decision is beautiful." Pei Qinglan said slowly, "However, no matter how beautiful the decision is, releasing a game requires corresponding publicity."

"Although the pineapple company can also provide a certain degree of exposure for the new game, but if you want to let the game ferment and publicize earlier, you must also use other channels of publicity."

"To do this, you must have enough funds in your hands. Can your studio still afford it?"

Now when he mentioned money to Xu Xing, he felt so painful that he couldn't breathe.

When he thought that he was about to become an ordinary college student with only a thousand yuan left in his whole body, he felt that fate would really play tricks on people's hearts.

But facing Pei Qinglan, he just smiled helplessly: "Promotion of this thing, no matter how much money you have, you can squander it all at once."

"However, we are just a light and easy game, and the funds on the books are barely enough."

"The initial publicity is definitely not a big problem."

"That's it." Pei Qinglan nodded, but still looked at Xu Xing meaningfully, and finally said unhurriedly, "I regret it a little now."

"Ok?"

"At the beginning, I said that I could leave you with an investment amount of [-] yuan, but now it seems that I am a little more conservative." Pei Qinglan smiled at him, and then continued, "If you encounter problems with funds next, just come to me , I can reserve at least one million financial support for you."

As soon as these words came out, Xu Xing just raised his eyebrows.

Yan Chijiu on the side opened his mouth wide in shock.

In the morning, the boss jokingly said what if he suddenly went bankrupt, but now he can easily get a million investment in a blink of an eye?
So will her dream of hiring a boss as an employee never come true?
Yan Chijiu's brain is still having a huge impact because of the huge sum of one million yuan.

Yao Yuanyuan on the other side was a little surprised.

In terms of the previous investment of [-] yuan, it still belongs to Pei Qinglan's private investment intention.

Once it reaches a scale of one million, it must be reported and discussed within the company.

Although Pei Qinglan is sure to have a unique position in her company, she still has to hold a meeting with the professionals under her to confirm the decision on the investment project.

And now that Pei Qinglan can say this, she is obviously very sure that the games and potential of Xu Xing's studio, even if they are placed in the company's internal meeting, will have a high probability of passing their internal audit.

For Xu Xing, a quasi-college student, this is really a very powerful thing, even a little scary in Yao Yuanyuan's view.

After all, it is quite common for college students to start a business, but it is an extremely rare phenomenon to start a business immediately after high school graduation and get a one million investment opportunity, even in North America where entrepreneurship is prevalent.

"Then thank you in advance for your appreciation." Xu Xing smiled, and said politely to Pei Qinglan, "If our game hits the market in North America, I will definitely come to Auntie to invest in the next game."

Pei Qinglan seemed to have expected his reaction, she just smiled lightly and nodded calmly: "It's okay, if your game can really make some achievements in the North American market, then one million is just a starting point , I have never been stingy with excellent companies."

"Auntie is a bit overrated." Xu Xing laughed and said, "I haven't even put a game on the shelves yet."

Pei Qinglan just smiled and didn't say anything more.

It's just that when he got up to leave after eating, he didn't forget to take out a business card from his bag and hand it to Xu Xing.

Xu Xing got up and sent Pei Qinglan to the door of the private room. After watching her leave, he looked down at the business card in his hand.

[Shenglan International Investment Management Co., Ltd. - Chief Person in Charge: Pei Qinglan]

The following is a brief introduction, including that Pei Qinglan graduated from the Department of Finance of Columbia University in North America, and has worked in many investment banks. Before that, she also served as the head of Greenwood Capital in the China Shanghai stock market.

Xu Xing was a little dazzled by his full and exciting resume.

He had guessed Pei Qinglan's identity, background and strength before, but he didn't expect to be such a big shot.

If it hadn't been for Pei Qinglan arranging some business projects such as Internet cafes, restaurants and milk tea shops on this street for her daughter to play around with, it is estimated that Xu Xing would never have met someone of Pei Qinglan's level in the early days of his business.

But it's a pity that he really doesn't lack money for investment now.

The release of Fruit Assassin has been on the right track step by step, and there is no need to make too much extra investment.

Although Xu Xing is a little short of money now, it is only a small amount of money that will make his college life more comfortable. Either Pei Qinglan opened his mouth or a million dollars.

Although he also felt that Pei Qinglan's vision was quite tricky, purely from the perspective of an entrepreneur, an investor like Pei Qinglan should be a good partner for cooperation.

But it's a pity that Xu Xing is not a normal person after all, he was born again and has an advantage in grasping the future direction, there is absolutely no need to share with others the fruits of victory that he could have won alone at this time.

But Xu Xing declined Pei Qinglan politely, and even got a business card from Pei Qinglan, in the eyes of Yao Yuanyuan, a daughter, it was not incredible.

Although Pei Qinglan's business card is not a rare thing, Yao Yuanyuan has seen in the past, and there are few people who have been issued a business card by Pei Qinglan, and there are few people under the age of [-].

So much so that Xu Xing, a quasi-college student who was not yet twenty years old, seemed a bit too outstanding among these people.

"I always feel like I accidentally joined a very powerful company?" Yao Yuanyuan couldn't help jokingly said.

"You're thinking too much." Xu Xing returned to his seat, and smiled at her low-key, "At least not yet."

……

After lunch, the time came to one o'clock in the afternoon.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Xu Xing said to Yan Chijiu next to him, "Let's go, report to school."

"Okay." Yan Chijiu immediately stood up when he heard it, trotted to his suitcase, looked around the private room, and after confirming that there was nothing left behind, he nodded vigorously at Xu Xing, "I'm ready."

"Don't be so serious." Xu Xing couldn't help laughing when he saw her serious face, "Relax, college is much more relaxed than high school."

With that said, Xu Xing also pulled up his suitcase and walked out of the private room.

The two walked out of the door of the private room, looked back into the private room, their eyes lingered on the sofa, single bed, and computer desk and chair, and finally retracted their gaze and closed the door.

Yan Chijiu still had some reluctance in his eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Will you come again in the future?"

"Sure, this is our secret base." Xu Xing nodded, pulled the suitcase and walked downstairs, "Let's go."

Yao Yuanyuan, who was handing over the Internet cafe at the front desk downstairs, caught a glimpse of the two people going downstairs, and hurriedly shouted, "Hey! Wait for me!"

"What are you doing?" Xu Xing looked at Yao Yuanyuan who was running over, and couldn't help asking.

"If you go by subway, I'll drive you to the subway station." Yao Yuanyuan showed her car keys and said.

"Then you might as well take us to school directly."

"I'm very busy, okay! It would be nice to take you to the subway station." Yao Yuanyuan rolled her eyes and walked straight to the door, "Let's go, hurry up."

Xu Xing and Yan Chijiu followed behind, got into Yao Yuanyuan's car, and arrived at the nearby subway entrance smoothly.

After getting out of the car, Yao Yuanyuan, who was sitting in the driver's seat, told Yanchi: "Vinegar, beware of those sweet-talking boys when you enter college, and tell me what's on your mind anytime."

Xu Xing glanced at her: "What's wrong with you sweet talk?"

"You can shut up." Yao Yuanyuan glared at him bitterly, "I'm talking to jealousy, so don't interrupt."

After admonishing Yan Chijiu again, Yao Yuanyuan was like an old woman who sent her daughter to school at this time, she talked for several minutes before giving up, which made Xu Xing a little impatient.

"Okay, okay, if you have anything to say, save it for next time."

Waving his hand to bid farewell to Yao Yuanyuan, Xu Xing grabbed Yan Chijiu's arm and dragged her into the subway station.

"Goodbye, Yuanyuan!"

Yan Chijiu felt her wrist being grasped by warm big hands, her heartbeat accelerated instantly, and she was flustered. She only had time to say goodbye to Yao Yuanyuan hastily before being dragged into the passageway at the subway entrance by Xu Xing.

Yao Yuanyuan looked at Yan Chi, who was so jealous just because her wrist was pulled down, and helplessly covered her cheeks, not knowing what to say.

On the other side, after Xu Xing and Yan Chijiu walked into the subway passage smoothly, a boy's voice suddenly came from beside them.

"Yan Chi vinegar? Are you going to report today too?"
