After making a wish, financial freedom

Chapter 340
The three of them were relatively straightforward, and Li Zhuo didn't have to go around in circles, and simply said:
"Your game is already popular, which shows that your company has potential. I'm very optimistic about it. How about it? I only need half of your studio's shares. Just tell me how much money you want."

The studio is too small and the conditions are poor. Li Zhuo has the intention of helping the poor in it. As long as he doesn't open his mouth like a lion, he will be fine if he suffers a little.

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay. The young man surnamed Ge was named Ge Yilang. He reacted faster. He was also responsible for the external affairs of this studio in the past. He said:

"Boss, the incident happened suddenly. We didn't think about it before. We want to discuss it and discuss it with you after we agree on it."

"Okay," Li Zhuo said with a smile, "you can discuss it, but it's agreed in advance, and it's almost time for dinner. When the chat is over, I'll invite you to dinner."

"Okay, thank you very much." Ge Yilang replied immediately.

Li Zhuo walked outside the door for a walk, leaving enough room for them to discuss.

This is a village on the outskirts of the imperial capital. To be honest, the conditions are not very good. Many buildings are one-story houses, and there are very few houses that can go up to two floors.

Where Li Zhuo walked, he also saw concrete poles with transformers installed. The voltage transformers were installed relatively low, which may be for the convenience of maintenance.

The wires walking in the middle of the road are also quite messy. Except for a few more cars, it is not much different from the northern countryside.

Most of the locals here are elderly people, and some young people, but most of them are Beidiao who rent houses here because the rent is cheap.

He looked at it all the way, and felt a sense of familiarity in the countryside of Xucheng. There were old houses on both sides of the road, and some places were overgrown with weeds.

Sure enough, the rural areas in the north all look similar, even in the imperial capital.

Li Zhuo walked around and came back. The cuttlefish play studio rented a bungalow here, with its own small yard.

At the moment, there are shallots and eggplants planted in the yard, which are not well taken care of, and they are a bit wilted. Maybe the three of them are usually too busy to grow vegetables.

The three of them had finished discussing, Li Zhuo walked over and asked casually:
"It's very difficult to have a vegetable garden in the imperial capital. How much does it cost?"

Ge Yilang smiled and said:
"Boss, the annual rent for this private house is [-], which is relatively cheap. It can be used for office and living. It is suitable for small game workshops like ours."

Li Zhuo nodded and said:

"When you have money, you can switch to an office building. You can live here in normal times, and find someone to take care of it. It's very suitable for living. Have you thought about it? Half of the equity, how much do you want?"

Ge Yilang looked at the other two companions, their eyes were bright, looking at him with hope in their eyes.

Ge Yilang said:
"We discussed it, boss, you want 50% of the shares, which is too much, we are willing to give up 40% of the shares, what do you think?"

Obviously, this studio still wants to have autonomy and does not want to be controlled by investors.

Since they had this idea, Li Zhuo could only nod in agreement.

Ge Yilang then said:

"You may feel that our offer is insincere, but I will explain in a moment.

40% of the equity, we want..., uh,... 500 million RMB, logically speaking, we only have a studio with three people, the office conditions are so poor, and we only released two small games, how dare we ask for so much money , please allow me to elaborate, our idea is a new game..."

Li Zhuo suddenly interrupted him and said:
"I am optimistic about your studio and agree to the price."

Ge Yilang originally thought it would take a lot of effort to convince Li Zhuo, so he directly valued his small game workshop at 1250 million yuan. Judging from their conditions, it looked like a lion opening his mouth.

His only confidence is that his new mini-game "Parents of Heaven" has already gained popularity, and the future can be expected.

But the market responded well, but it is hard to say how many copies will be sold in the future.

Now that Li Zhuo directly said that he agreed to the offer, Ge Yilang was still thinking about the words in his mind, and he couldn't react for a while.

Seeing that Ge Yilang seemed to be taken aback for a moment, Li Zhuo smiled and said:

"I agree with this offer. I just hope that if your new game becomes a big hit, you won't think I've given you less."

When the matter was settled, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. The key is that Li Zhuo showed enough respect to them, and he might be a very good investor in the future.

The two little friends were very happy, with bright smiles on their faces, Ge Yilang was also happy, and he immediately said:
"That's absolutely not, no one knows the future, there is a chance of a big explosion, and there may be a situation where it is popular or not. This is also considered a venture capital investment.

Besides, the price was quoted by us, which is not low, and other investors may not accept it, but we are very grateful that you didn't even return the price, so if it explodes, you deserve it. "

The three of Ge Yilang were really grateful. They ran to a small farm yard to open a small game workshop. They dared to ask for 40 million for 500% of the shares. If they were replaced by other investors, they would say that they were crazy about money.

Except for Li Zhuo, probably no one would agree to invest at this price.

Li Zhuo himself thinks very clearly that he can accept the 500 million investment in a studio with a good game product. The big reason is that he has an intuition that this game may be a big hit.

It's a gamble of luck, so give it a try.

He then called Vientiane Entertainment and asked them to help find an electronic investment contract and send it over.

After that, he followed Ge Yilang and the others to a town not far away. There was a steam stone pot fish restaurant here, which was affordable and delicious.

The method is very interesting. It is really a stone pot. After putting the fish in, cover it with a straw cover, and cook the fish with pure steam.

Li Zhuo ordered Hu Tuanyu, three catties each of yellow spicy diced, a Yunnan tofu platter, a small shrimp fried dough stick, a wild mountain mushroom platter, a Shiping oiled bean curd, and a brown sugar glutinous rice cake.

I ordered another deep-fried tofu, which tastes very good, but I can't eat too much of this stuff, because it has a relatively high technological content.

Li Zhuo had a big appetite, but he didn't expect that the three people present could also eat quite a lot. Six catties of fish and side dishes were really not enough. In the end, Li Zhuo ordered another three catties of golden sandfish, and they were full.

During the meal, everyone was in a good mood and chatted happily. Li Zhuo reminded:
"I noticed that many comments in the message area of ​​the game "Parents of Heaven" pointed out areas that need to be optimized. The problems are still relatively concentrated, and they must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise it will affect the subsequent release."

The programmer who had a good time said immediately:
"Don't worry, Boss, after I finish making this meal, I will stay for a day or two when I go back, and I promise to solve the problem."

"You don't need to be too tired. If you need help from other programmers, you can find them. After signing the contract, I will transfer the money to the studio account. It is trivial to spend money to hire people." Li Zhuo said.

"That would be even better," the programmer was very happy. "I know several programmers with good skills. It will definitely be much faster to invite them to work together."

After eating, Li Zhuo went to a printing shop in the town to print out the contract in triplicate.

After returning to the studio and signing the contract, Li Zhuo happily transferred 500 million to the studio's account. In this way, 40% of the equity was in his hands, and he enjoyed a proportional share of all the studio's game products.

It would be easy to handle with money, and all three of them got busy.

Programmers shake people together to solve game optimization problems.

Ge Yilang and Meigong find someone to do publicity. When they have no money, they do it by typing in various game groups, game post bars, and platform game areas to do publicity. Sailors, etc., can promote vigorously.

The effect was astonishing. Two days later, 40 copies of the 5 yuan game "Parents of Heaven" were sold in one day.

With the passage of time, 80 copies were sold within one month of its launch, and 280 million copies were sold within one year, with sales easily exceeding [-] million.
