The Ten Years of Rebirth

Chapter 162 After sharing the same bed, the sneak attack of the Q fruit ninja
Although Liu Wei really wanted to agree, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

However, considering the increase from 15% to 20% of the shares, and the huge risk of the paid-to-free in-app purchase model, Liu Wei immediately called Cai Haoyu and repeated Xu Xing's conditions.

As for the third point of technology sharing and mutual assistance, it is obviously not very important to Mihuyou who just wants to survive.

In fact, although Liu Wei is also very reluctant to sell the 5% more shares, in comparison, the second point is more difficult for him to make concessions.

Buying out the system to change the model of free in-app purchases is not just talking.

You know, the profit model is the foundation of whether a game can sell well.

If they agreed hastily, even if they got the investment of one million yuan, and the game crashed, that would not be what they wanted to see.

So next, Liu Wei and Cai Haoyu on the other end of the phone entered the stage of mutual negotiation with Xu Xing.

What made Xu Xing a little dumbfounded was that Mi Huyou's team seemed to firmly support the buyout system strategy.

One is because what they are currently producing is the ios version of Pineapple Company. Currently, the popular games on the App Store are buyout games for the time being, including the first game released by Mihuyou before, which is also a buyout system.

The second is because buyout games and free games have different ways of making money, so they have different emphases when making game content.

For games with a buyout system, users buy all the content of the game in full at the beginning, so merchants only need to feel at ease to make the game well and focus all their energy on improving the quality of the game.

However, for free-to-play games, in order to guide users to consume in the in-game shopping mall, it is necessary to design and restrict the game content and upgrade system.

In particular, the increase in numerical values ​​needs to be strictly controlled, so that players can get stuck at that level and see that they can get experience upgrades, but it just happens to be a little bit worse.

In order to achieve the consumption induction of players.

Commonly known as cheating krypton.

Or to be more rude, just tell you to recharge money to become stronger, otherwise prostitution players are one of the game experiences of krypton gold players.

This is the so-called forced krypton.

Although this mode has been criticized by most players, it does not prevent them from making money...even much more than normal and conscientious games.

But right now, this model is still more common in free webpage games, and there are no obvious signs of mobile games yet.

In particular, more than half of Mihuyou's Honkai Campus has been produced. At this time, changing the profit model is tantamount to going through the numerical system again, adding an in-app shopping mall, and designing the consumption guidance process.

Originally Mihuyou was expected to complete the game around December, but with such a change, it may not be launched until next year.

Therefore, several founders of Mihuyou argued hard with Xu Xing, but in the end they still did not let go of the condition of the buyout system.

As for the first condition related to shares, 20% of the shares also caused Cai Haoyu, who leads Mihuyou, to get into a tangle.

For Liu Wei and the other two founders, 20% of the shares is not an unacceptable condition, because the combined shares of the three founders are less than 50%, and the remaining more than half of the shares are all In the hands of Cai Haoyu.

At the beginning, it was also for the team not to have a leader leading the direction due to their differences and quarrels, so that the studio fell into a situation of fighting each other. In addition, Cai Haoyu was the one with the strongest technology and the most funding among them. So as early as when Mihuyou was established, Cai Haoyu controlled more than 50% of the shares.

The purpose is to ensure the unity of execution of the entire Mihuyou, and if it raises funds in the future, at least Cai Haoyu can firmly hold the veto power of 33% of the shares, so as not to cause subsequent dilution due to the equal share sharing. The founders only had more than a dozen shares, but they were taken by outsiders.

For a start-up company, the most common financing amount is often around 10%.

Because the financing of the C round and the D round will also be considered in the future. For each financing, the founding team has to take out a part of the shares and compete with the new investors. The shares in the hand must be maintained at a healthy level. It is not in the follow-up, because the disagreement with the investor is directly kicked out, and the dove occupies the magpie's nest.

However, due to the theme of mobile games, it is difficult for Mihuyou to raise enough money for 10% of the shares, so that it can expand its opening to 15% online.

Now Xu Xing raised it to the extremely dangerous line of 20%.

It would be fine if there is no further financing in the future, but Mihuyou does not have the eyes to see the future after all, and cannot be as sure of its own development as Xu Xing. For possible future financing behaviors, Cai Haoyu also has to pay attention to this financing Budget carefully.

Therefore, under Cai Haoyu's argument, although Xu Xing did not insist on the 20% high-voltage line, he still gnawed a little more meat from Mihuyou's mouth and reached a 17% share acquisition.

As for the third condition of technology sharing, Cai Haoyu directly agreed to it. After all, their studio has some valuable technology now, probably only the 2.5D rendering engine based on the magic modification of the unity engine.

Although this thing is quite useful, but in the face of the current life and death, Mihuyou doesn't have much to think about. The key to survival is to get the investment as soon as possible.

Their only requirement is that after the technology is shared, neither party can spread the other's technology to the outside world, and a limited period of cooperation will be terminated after three years. If they want to continue to maintain technical cooperation, they can discuss it separately.

During this period, Mihuyou will unconditionally agree and share any technical requirements put forward by Qunxing Company for Mihuyou Studio.

The entire negotiation process took much longer than Liu Wei's presentation.

From eight o'clock in the evening until eleven o'clock in the evening.

Xu Xing was very helpless. It was kind of him to make Mihuyou free. After all, after investing, he always hoped that Mihuyou could make money for him.

Otherwise, if you wait until Beng Er is born, you will have to wait until 14 years.

Not to mention the more amazing Bengsan later, it has been 17 years.

If possible, Xu Xing would not mind helping Mihuyou to speed up the process, but the sky didn't go his way, and the Mihuyou team obviously had their own ideas, and they couldn't be changed so easily.

In the end, under the exchange and communication between Xu Xing and Cai Haoyu, the two parties reached a preliminary agreement——

1. Qunxing invested one million yuan in Mihuyou, accounting for 17% of the shares.

2. Mihuyou’s new game, Honkai Campus, still implements the buyout system.

3. The two companies share and assist each other in technology, but cannot spread the technology to outsiders. Mihuyou needs to share technology with Qunxing Company unconditionally. The cooperation period starts from September 2012 and ends in September 9.

After the two sides finalized the main terms in the middle of the night, Xu Xing left their contact information and sent Liu Wei and Jin Zhidong away.

The detailed terms of the contract cannot be finalized until Cai Haoyu comes over in person tomorrow morning, and the two parties continue to discuss the details.

Standing by the window, Xu Xing looked thoughtfully at the distant figures of the two of Liu Wei.

To be honest, if you want to invest in Mihuyou, there are actually two timings.

One is to cut off 15% of the shares in advance, before Mihuyou was favored by the company in the previous life.

The second is that during the period of Mihuyou's research and development of Yuanshen, when the application for listing failed and it was unable to accept the various additional requirements of Tencent's financing, it was also an opportunity.

The latter is still early, at least until 18 or 19, Xu Xing will not consider it for the time being.

But at this point in time, it is still quite profitable to get 17% of Mihuyou's shares.

You know, Mihuyou in the previous life became the original god and completely soared into the sky. Regardless of word of mouth, the market value at the time has already reached more than 2000 billion, and the worth of the three founders has even jumped into the domestic rich list .

That is to say, Xu Xing's investment of one million yuan in the 17% stake today will be worth about three or four billion yuan in ten years' time.

A full 30000 times return on investment!

Thirty thousand times!
Not to mention that when Mi Huyou was in a financial crisis when he made Yuanshen, Xu Xing would be able to make another profit by then, so it wouldn't be as simple as 17%.

And it may not have to wait so long, after all, if it is not changed to a free in-app purchase model, it may be difficult to recover the cost of this Honkai campus at present... Xu Xing thought of this, his eyes narrowed slightly when he looked at the night, and he smiled lightly. Thinking about how to continue to bite off another piece of meat from the prey.

Thinking about it this way, Mi Huyou did not agree to switch from the buyout system to the free system, which may not be a bad thing for him.

Stretching, Xu Xing looked at the time by the window.

At this time, the school dormitory had already turned off the lights and locked the door, so he didn't bother to go back.

Just before Yao Yuanyuan asked Xiao Peng to buy a folding bed, Xu Xing took out the folding bed from the cabinet, and put the quilt that Yanchi vinegar brought last time on it, planning to go to the toilet for a simple wash and make do with it for one night.

As a result, just as he was about to leave the office, he heard a knock on the door.

Xu Xing was stunned for a moment, and checked the time again. It was already half past eleven in the evening, and it would be early morning soon.

The employees of the studio should have gone back to get off work long ago.

"Who?"

"Are you finished?" The person outside pushed open the door and poked his head in.

It's Xu Niannian.

"Just finished." Xu Xing nodded, and asked again, "Where are the others?"

"I told them to go back." Xu Niannian opened the door and walked in, even holding a bag of barbecue in his hand, "I asked Jiajia to send the vinegar home, do you want to eat barbecue?"

"You bought everything, how can I just watch you eat?"

Hearing that Yanchi vinegar had been sent back, Xu Xing felt a little relieved. While responding to Xu Niannian, he took out his mobile phone and saw the QQ message sent by Yanchi vinegar.

[Vinegar]: I'm going back to school first, otherwise I'll be laughed at by my roommates when I go back too late.

[Vinegar and Vinegar]: I've arrived in the dormitory, I'm going to take a shower.

[Vinegar and Vinegar]: Is the boss not finished yet?
[Vinegar and Vinegar]: I have to go to bed first, there is morning class tomorrow.

[Vinegar]: Good night, boss~
Xu Xing looked at the chat record fixed at eleven o'clock in the evening, smiled slightly, and sent a reply to Yan Chijiu.

[One Minion Misty Rain]: Well, I just finished my work.

[One Minion Misty Rain]: Good night.

As a result, Yan Chi vinegar replied immediately.

[Vinegar and Vinegar]: Well, good night, the boss goes to bed early.

[One Minion Misty Rain]: Didn't you say you were asleep?

[Vinegar and Vinegar]: Get up and go to the toilet... I just saw it.

[Yi Mino Yan Yu]: Alright, go to bed early, good night.

[Vinegar]: Well, good night~
"Who are you chatting with?" Xu Niannian approached curiously.

"This guy, Ah Bin, has been bothering me." Xu Xing moved quickly, quickly jumping to the chat page with Li Zhibin.

And Li Zhibin has indeed been bothering him all the time, since [-] o'clock in the evening, he has been sending him messages until after ten o'clock in the evening.

The above are some information about the research tasks assigned to him by Xu Xing. Li Zhibin had already come to try to contact those companies during the weekend.

As for results.

That can only be said to be hehe.

The main reason is Li Zhibin's lack of experience, the negotiation is very immature, and more training is needed.

Xu Niannian did not suspect him, knowing that Xu Xing and Li Zhibin had a good relationship, after seeing the chat records of the two, he lost interest and put the barbecue on the desk.

The two chatted while eating barbecue, and when halfway through the meal, Xu Xing suddenly realized a problem.

"Are you not going back to the dormitory tonight?"

"How can I go back at this point?"

"Then where do you sleep?"

"Don't you have a bed?"

"This is a single bed...so why didn't you go back with everyone just now?"

"My sister is afraid that you will work too hard and go hungry at night." Xu Niannian rolled his eyes at him, "You have no conscience."

Xu Xing looked at Xu Niannian's fair face and delicate profile under the light, and heard "Death without a conscience" in his ear, feeling a little dazed for a moment, thinking that he had traveled back in time.

But soon, after eating the barbecue, Xu Xing still had to face a serious problem.

How will he and Xu Niannian sleep at night?
After going to the toilet to simply rinse their mouths and wash their faces, Xu Xing and Xu Niannian returned to the office, looked at the single folding bed in front of them, and fell into deep thought.

In the end, Xu Xing still gave up the folding bed to Xu Niannian, and he himself moved in a few more chairs and built a bed, intending to make do with it.

"So good?" Xu Niannian sat on the folding bed, looked up at Xu Xing and laughed, "Why don't you still sleep on the bed, Mr. Xu? I, a little employee, should sleep on a chair."

"Come on." Xu Xing shook his head, "As far as your sleeping habits are concerned, I'm afraid you'll fall off when you fall asleep."

After finishing speaking, Xu Xing turned off the light, took the small blanket that Xu Yi had covered before, lay down on the chair and covered it, and said, "Go to sleep, you have to continue working tomorrow."

"Oh." Through the moonlight, Xu Niannian saw the blanket covering Xu Xing's body, which was not long enough to reach Xu Xing's knees.

She looked at the thick quilt on her bed again, rolled her eyes, and simply moved the folding bed to the side of Xu Xing's chair bed. After lying down, she covered half of the quilt on Xu Xing's body: "Come on, come here. The quilt is so big, share it with you."

The height of the folding bed is relatively short, only about two-thirds of the height of the chair.

After Xu Xing covered the quilt, he turned his head and saw Xu Niannian who was more than ten centimeters lower than himself.

The two looked at each other in the dim moonlight, then separated their eyes from each other and looked at the ceiling.

"How long has it been since we slept together like this?"

"Correction, it's not sleeping together."

"It's all covered with a quilt? Your tone is too scumbag, no wonder you can't find a girlfriend."

"Employees, please pay attention to your words, and be careful that I will deduct your salary."

"Damn, it's very arrogant." Xu Niannian sneaked over and pinched him on the waist, "The boss is amazing, why don't you have to sleep on a chair."

"I don't even look at who it is because of."

"hey-hey."

"Okay, go to sleep, I'm sleepy."

"Oh, good night."

"Good night."

Under the moonlight, Xu Xing quickly fell asleep.

But Xu Niannian on the bed heard Xu Xing's gradually long and steady breathing, but turned his head and kept looking at half of his profile.

A pair of eyes are shining in the reflection of the moonlight outside the window, like the reflection of the lake surface, crystal clear and full of unspeakable feelings.

……

March 9, morning.

Xu Xing opened his eyes and found something was wrong.

Looking to the right, it was a chair bed that was a bit taller than him.

Looking to the left, it was Xu Niannian who was lying on his side, sleeping next to him.

Even a long white and smooth leg rested on his stomach.

Xu Xing: "...?"

So how did I get off the chair?
"Well……"

I don't know if it was because of Xu Xing's slight movement, but Xu Niannian grumbled a few times and opened his eyes little by little.

When he saw Xu Xing in front of him, he showed a naive smile, stretched out his hand and pinched Xu Xing's face: "Have you been dreaming? It's quite realistic, come and give me a kiss."

Seeing this guy's stupid face who couldn't even tell the difference between dreams and reality, Xu Xing pressed her head with a look of disgust, and said speechlessly, "You wake me up, what are you daydreaming about?"

"Damn it!" Xu Niannian woke up completely, sat up on the bed, looked down at Xu Xing, and said preemptively, "Why are you on my bed?"

Xu Xing: "..."

Good guy.

If only he knew.

But Xu Niannian didn't hold on to him. After getting out of bed and putting on his shoes, he ran out to wash his face, so Xu Xing didn't let Xu Xing see the look of a successful trick on her face.

Eight o'clock in the morning.

Cai Haoyu, Liu Wei, and Jin Zhidong came to Tianshu's studio on time and met the young Mr. Xu.

On the basis of friendly exchanges, the two sides launched more detailed negotiations according to the terms agreed last night.

Finally, around ten o'clock in the morning, the two parties confirmed the final content of the contract and officially signed the contract.

Qunxing Company invested one million yuan in Mihuyou, accounting for 17% of the shares. The investment funds were transferred to Mihuyou's account three times, from [-] yuan within one week after the contract took effect, to [-] yuan when the game entered the testing stage after the completion of the game production. [-], and [-] after entering publicity and marketing.

The specific payment requirements are clearly written into the contract, and it is not that [-] million will be directly transferred to Mihuyou's account.

After all, so much money is enough to pay at one time. In fact, Mihuyou only needs to spend tens of thousands of yuan a month, which is not so much at all. It is normal to pay financing funds in batches.

After the transaction was over, Xu Xing left Cai Haoyu and the three of them, took a brief tour inside the company, took them with him, and exchanged experience with his new team about the Unity engine. Cai Haoyu will immediately provide help and guidance for their magically modified 2.5D engine.

After leaving them to have a meal in the company at noon, Xu Xing sent the three of them away.

But when he returned to the company, he received an urgent report from his secretary Peng Yuxuan.

"Mr. Xu, I have some bad news to inform you." Peng Yuxuan walked into the office with a serious face and reminded Xu Xing, "At twelve o'clock at noon, on the major Android platforms and the App Store of Pineapple, Tencent's magic Tan Studio uploaded a game called Q Fruit Ninja, the content of which is almost exactly the same as our Fruit Assassin."

"Q Guo Ninja?" Xu Xing couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard such a name. He immediately frowned and took out his mobile phone from his pocket. "Is it available on all major platforms?"

"Yes, it's also available on Android." Peng Yuxuan took out his Android phone and showed it to Xu Xing.

While searching for the name of the game on his pineapple phone, Xu Xing glanced at Peng Yuxuan's mobile app store.

Immediately, his face gradually became strange.

【Q Fruit Ninja】

[Price: 6.9 yuan]

Xu Xing: "...that's really daring."

Looking at the games above, Xu Xing thought for a while, and paid to download one.

While waiting for the download, Xu Xing looked up at Peng Yuxuan and said, "Go and call Yao Yuanyuan, and the company's legal affairs."

"Okay." Peng Yuxuan nodded, and then ran out immediately to find Yao Yuanyuan from the financial office next door.

And the Q Guo Ninja on Xu Xing's phone was also downloaded quickly.

After clicking to enter, looking at the image of the penguin ninja wearing a black mask and bandages on the screen, the corners of his eyes twitched a few times.

This is nothing more than changing the assassin teacher in Fruit Assassin to the penguin ninja teacher.

After entering the game, it is the familiar guide mode again. There is almost no difference in the interface of cutting fruit, only the background is changed, the color of the fruit is brighter, and it looks more Q-version.

But in terms of gameplay and content, even the achievement system and skin store are exactly the same as Fruit Assassin.

It can only be said to be a penguin.

Xu Xing played for a while, and after getting a general understanding of the game, he set his sights on [Price: 6.9 yuan], shook his head with a smile, then stood up from his chair, and took a deep breath.

He really didn't expect that just when he was about to have a big fight, Tencent slapped him in advance.

Although it is only an internal behavior of its own studio, and it will not rise to Tencent itself, it is undoubtedly a very serious matter for Qunxing, a small company that has just started.

It's just that after confirming that it was plagiarized, and that the plagiarist was a penguin, Xu Xing felt that this matter was really reasonable, and it didn't feel unexpected at all.

"What's the situation?" Yao Yuanyuan opened the door and came in, followed by Peng Yuxuan and the company's legal counsel, yelling angrily, "Tenxin copied our game? How can you be so shameless! Such a big company, but also copy our small The company's game? Damn!"

"Calm down, calm down." As the planner of Fruit Assassin and the target of plagiarism, Xu Xing is the calmest one.

He first looked at Peng Yuxuan, and ordered: "Xiao Peng, help me contact Android's channel and platform vendors, and say that he agrees to a [-]-[-] split and a one-month extension of the payment process, and the requirements for promotion are not high, which he agreed to before The conditions are agreed, but we must launch our Fruit Assassin within three days."

After finishing speaking, Xu Xing looked at Li Jing, the company's legal counsel, and arranged: "Help me contact a law firm that is good at commercial plagiarism cases in this area, and directly sue Tencent's Motan Studio for plagiarism."

Li Jing, the legal officer recruited by Yao Yuanyuan, has several years of working experience. After hearing Xu Xing's words, she immediately reminded with a bit of embarrassment: "Mr. It’s useless, it’s a complete waste of money.”

Xu Xing smiled, and only said: "I didn't say I would sue it."

"Just tell the law firm that you don't want to win this lawsuit, you just want to file the case as soon as possible. The lawyer's letter, the court subpoena, etc., can be as fast as possible."

"But at the later stage, there is no need to sue and win, just give me a period of time, winning or losing is not important."

"Ah?" Li Jing was stunned for a moment, not understanding the meaning of Xu Xing's actions.

But Xu Xing had already turned his gaze to Yao Yuanyuan, and said, "You arrange two things here."

"First, find a few influential media, as well as the game media that have been saying that they want to interview before, and say that they can accept interviews, and talk about Tencent's plagiarism."

"Second, in addition to the above media, find other online media for exposure."

"On the company's account, except for the [-] yuan that will be called to Mihuyou soon, and the salary of the company's employees this month, everything else is taken out."

"Do as I say, and act first."

"Okay!" Yao Yuanyuan is a veteran who has followed all the way since the time of Fruit Assassin. He is very clear that Xu Xing is not only talented in game production, but also has great experience in advertising and promotion.

After hearing Xu Xing's task arrangement, she already had a rough idea in her mind, but the time was too short for her to think about it.

But after she heard it, she had already acted quickly, and was the first to turn around and leave the office, ready to carry out Xu Xing's order.

Peng Yuxuan also immediately contacted the Android channel dealer. Li Jing, who was in charge of legal affairs, was a little bit late, but seeing that the two colleagues had already started to do it, she didn't ask any more questions, and hurried to find a reliable lawyer. office.

After Xu Xing finished arranging everything, he let out a sigh of relief, then picked up his cell phone and called Xu Yi.

"Hello? What's the matter?"

"Uncle, I remember you are from a certain search department?" Xu Xing asked with a light smile, "What is the price of your advertising and push business?"
