Chapter 138 Investing in Mihayou

Entering the box, the two took off their heavy coats and hung them up, taking off layers of camouflage.

Under Gu Wei's suggestion, Zhang Tianai ordered some special dishes of his family, and soon the table was filled with delicacies.

The two chatted and tasted the food.

Zhang Tianai eats more restrainedly, she basically only picks some vegetables to eat, and rarely eats meat.

"I remember you didn't have this eating habit, did you?"

"I want to maintain my weight. If I eat more, I will get fat easily. If I get fat, I will not look good."

As he spoke, he took a small piece of broccoli and put it in his mouth.

Gu Wei looked at the beautiful Zhang Tianai in front of him, he was indeed thinner compared to a year ago, the baby fat on his cheeks was gone.

After Zhang Tianai became popular, he knew that the audience liked his current image, so he naturally tried his best to maintain it.

"Are you tired from work recently?"

Gu Wei was concerned.

Zhang Tianai looked up at him with a smile.

"Fortunately, Sister Yang arranged a lot of activities for me, but I like this rhythm, and I feel that I am very busy every day."

Gu Wei thought about it.

"After a while, the TV series [Yu Sin] produced by the company will start.

Although this is a man's play, I am optimistic that it will become popular like "Prince Princess".

Acting well will be of great benefit to your popularity and further development. "

"Well, I know that the company attaches great importance to [Yu Zui], and I will behave well."

The two of them had a very happy meal, and Gu Wei could tell that after Zhang Tianai became popular, he was always in a state of excitement.

"Gu Wei, thank you very much, thank you for remembering me, thank you for giving me this opportunity."

After chatting for a while, Zhang Tianai put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at Gu Wei, and said seriously.

"It's nothing, it's because you performed well. Everything you achieved today is through your own hard work. I just gave you a little push."

Gu Wei looked at her with a smile and said softly.

"After I entered the circle, I had two chances to change my destiny, one was when [Xiu Chun Dao] met you, and the other was when you asked me to shoot [Prince Princess].

You said how could I not be grateful to you? "

Zhang Tianai said with some emotion.

"Xiao Ai, you and I still have a long way to go in life, and this is just the beginning, so let's try to look forward as much as possible. I helped you today, and maybe I will need your help one day in the future~
After all we are friends. "

As he spoke, Gu Wei raised the juice in his hand and clinked glasses with Zhang Tianai.

Neither of them ordered wine, just some drinks.

Zhang Tianai didn't say anything after hearing what Gu Wei said.

The two of them had a very happy meal. After the meal was over, Gu Wei sent Zhang Tianai home.

The place where Zhang Tianai lives now is no longer the original rented house. Since the "Princess Concubine" became popular, she has moved to live in a more upscale neighborhood.

This house was provided to her by the company. The community is more private and the living environment is much better than before.

The car drove to the downstairs of the community, and the two got out of the car and said hello to separate.

Zhang Tianai took two steps forward, turned around suddenly, and said to Gu Wei who was still standing by the car with a smile on his face, "Would you like to go upstairs for a glass of water?"

To be honest, it was very difficult for Gu Wei to refuse this request, after all he was really thirsty.

That night, Gu Wei experienced a long-lost passion.

To his surprise, Zhang Tianai's family actually had a costume of "Prince Princess".

It is said that he also participated in this drama, he is the 'Zhang Peng' of the previous life and Zhang Tianai is the reincarnated 'Zhang Pengpeng'.

The two were originally one person, and they have gone through thousands of sails, and now they are reunited as one.

At the most excited moment, Zhang Tianai did not forget to say a word to Gu Wei

"Gu Wei, I've finally become a big star."

Gu Wei also understood in seconds, it seems that becoming a big star is already one of her obsessions, and Gu Wei can be regarded as helping her fulfill her wish.

The next morning, Gu Wei got up early on time.

After arriving at the company, he received two good news.

Zhao Mingcheng has already negotiated with the dumpling director of the 'Jiaokeli' studio, and the other party agreed to join Gu Wei's [Wei Mingxia Animation Production Company] with his own team.

In this way, the animated film "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World" can be officially launched.

The animation film is expected to invest 6000 million to 1 million yuan, and the entire production cycle is expected to be about 3 years.

Of course, the money is invested bit by bit over three years, so the company doesn't have to spend such a large amount of money all at once.

Yang Liwen received the news from Shanghai that the game company called [Mihayou] that Gu Wei asked her to find before was a little loose in terms of financing, so I can talk about it in detail.

On the animation company's side, Gu Wei has already transferred some people from the film and television company to serve as the backbone. As for the venue, the company has already rented out the entire downstairs floor of the current floor, and it's just a matter of waiting for the dumpling director to bring the team over to start work.

[Mihayou] Over there, Gu Wei needs to go there himself.

Shanghai Mihayou Network Technology Co., Ltd. is a two-dimensional cultural Internet enterprise established in 2011 with products such as animation, comics, games and novels as the carrier.

In 2011, 24-year-old Shanghai Jiaotong University graduate students Liu Wei, Cai Haoyu, and Luo Yuhao received 10 yuan from the "Eagle Project" of the Shanghai Science and Technology Entrepreneurship Center College Student Entrepreneurship Foundation to establish [Mihayou].

In 2012, the first product of the "Benghuai" series of "Mihayou" "Henghuai Academy" was launched.

In 2013, the total revenue of [Mihayou] was only RMB 130 million, and the net profit was only RMB 28.4.

At the beginning of 2014, the 2D shooting game [Honkai Academy 2] developed by [Mihayou] was just launched.

Now this is just a little-known small company, because [Mihayou]’s products are mostly two-dimensional products, not popular products, so many game companies in the market are not optimistic about it.

After all, the narrow target group will also affect the future development of the company.

However, what no one knows now is the rapid expansion of the domestic online game market in 15, especially the explosive growth of mobile games.

[Mihayou] The targeted group of 'otaku' has exploded with huge enthusiasm for game purchases, and the sales data of game companies has increased year by year, becoming a 'cash cow' that is not short of money.

As of 2023, the market value once exceeded [-] billion yuan.

Gu Wei wanted to invest in this company, hoping to get a free ride and make money.

On the other hand, some of the videos shot by his company can be gamified.

For example, the IP [Detective Chinatown] was originally very popular because of the huge popularity of the movie. In the future, not only the development of TV series, but also the development of games can be carried out. Taking advantage of the huge popularity brought by the movie, it is easy to attract players to get started. .

In this way, the value of the really hot IP can be maximized.

After getting off the plane, Gu Wei went directly to [Mihayou] company.

Cai Haoyu, the general manager of [Mihayou], and his two partners, Liu Wei and Luo Yuhao, were waiting at the door of the company to welcome Gu Wei.

"Old Cai, do you think it's reliable for the big star Gu Wei to invest in our company?" Liu Wei asked suspiciously.

The three of them are classmates of Jiaotong University, and they came out to start a business together because of their common hobbies.

But Cai Haoyu is superior both in technology and in the ability to deal with people and things, so he became the general manager of the company and holds the most shares in the company.

"The other party's company communicated with me several times before, and I have confirmed that it is definitely not a liar.

And won't you be able to see me soon? Didn't you two go to "Detective Chinatown" some time ago?

After a while, I will be lucky enough to see the 'live' 'Qin Feng'. "

Cai Haoyu said jokingly.

"[Tang Tan] This movie is really good, and the box office of the movie is actually 10 billion. How long will it take for our company to make such money?"

Luo Yuhao was also answering the conversation, and said enviously.

"Heh~ As far as our company's sales were last year, even if it is increased by 100 times, it will not catch up with others."

Liu Wei was a little discouraged, and then he said again.

"If you can use the theme of [Tang Detective] to make a detective game, it will be a big hit~"

"Okay, stop talking, you two, people are coming."

Cai Haoyu tidied up his clothes and reminded his two partners in a low voice.

Gu Wei was wearing a suit and a mask, followed by his own team, and rushed to the door of [Mihayou] company.

Walking in front of Cai Haoyu, he first reached out to take off the mask, and then reached out to him.

"Hello, this is Mr. Cai, I'm Gu Wei, I've admired you for a long time~"

Cai Haoyu looked at Gu Wei's face, his eyes lit up, and he quickly stretched out his hand.

"Hello, Mr. Gu, welcome to [Mihayou]."

When the two little friends saw Gu Wei, their faces showed the excitement of ordinary people seeing a big star.

Following them into the company, [Mihayou] is really small, there are only about 10 people in the whole company, the employees who were in the company, when they saw Gu Wei and his party came in, they all looked here curiously.

"That's Gu Wei, right?"

"Why do big stars join our company? I really like [Detective Chinatown]!"

"I'll go! It's really Gu Wei, I love listening to his songs!"

Liu Wei came up from the back, "Okay, okay, it's time to go to work now, everyone is working."

Hearing what the boss said, everyone stopped talking, but they couldn't help but look this way curiously.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, you are a big star. My employees are all young people, and most of them are probably your fans."

Cai Haoyu said embarrassedly.

"It's okay, I can understand." Gu Wei smiled and didn't care.

Cai Haoyu led Gu Wei and the others into a small conference room, and moved a few stools in from the outside, and everyone sat down.

"Mr. Gu, I have a question? Why did you think of investing in [Mihayou]?

We're just a small, unknown company. "

Cai Haoyu first raised his own doubts.

Gu Wei smiled

"Mr. Cai, I am 22 years old, I should be younger than everyone, and I like Two-dimensional very much. I have played your company's game [Honkai Academy], and it is really good.

It just so happens that my own company will need some film and television IP for gamification in the future, either by setting up a game company by myself, or finding cooperation with other game companies.

After all, I am a layman in the game industry, so I thought of your company. "

"Then how do you plan to invest in our company?"

"If your company has plans to sell, I am willing to buy it wholly."

Gu Wei looked sincere.

"This is absolutely not possible. We have no plans to sell the company. [Mihayou] is not only a company, but also the dream of several of us."

Cai Haoyu looked determined, it seems that the acquisition is absolutely impossible.

"Then how much is your company's current valuation? I can also invest. As long as we become our own people, I can authorize some film and television IPs to you. At that time, even if it is a simple web game, relying on the fame of film and television dramas, players will also Not less."

Gu Wei said that Cai Haoyu was very tempted. He lowered his head and thought about it, and then discussed it with two partners.

"Mr. Gu, the sales performance of our company's newly launched [Henghuai Academy 2] this year is very good, so our valuation of the company is 5000 million."

Gu Wei lowered his head and thought for a while, "Then, I'll raise 5000 million yuan and take up 49% of the shares, which will not affect your holding of the company."

"Mr. Gu, you gave too much, and [Mihayou] can't use that much money now, and we don't want to take too many shares at this stage. We can accept up to 30%."

Cai Haoyu rejected the 5000 'big pie' with a wry smile.

"Well, you don't have to insist on 30%. I'll put together 2500 million yuan. After financing, [Mihayou] will be valued at 7500 million yuan. I will hold 33% of the shares."

"Mr. Gu, wait a moment, I'll discuss it with my partner."

Cai Haoyu was obviously tempted, and sure enough, after a while, all three partners of [Mihayou] came over.

"Mr. Gu, we agree with your financing plan."

Gu Wei smiled and shook hands with him.

"Hope we have a happy cooperation in the future!"

After finalizing the financing plan, the rest is much simpler.

[Mihayou] It was originally a small company, and its accounts were very clear. The people Gu Wei brought were everything from finance to legal affairs.

With the assistance of Cai Haoyu, these professionals quickly conducted a detailed due diligence on [Mihayou].

Gu Wei didn't delay at all, and signed a financing agreement with Cai Haoyu that day.

After everything was dealt with, Cai Haoyu and the others watched Gu Wei and his party leave.

"Dawei, we have 2500 million here? You pinch me to see if it's true?"

"Ah~ You really pinched!"

"Okay, the money hasn't arrived yet. They said they will return within 3 working days." Cai Haoyu was also very happy to see the two partners playing tricks there.

"When the money arrives, we must change to a bigger venue."

"Yes, we still have to recruit people, and we need to replace all the equipment with the latest ones!"

The three of them have already started talking about how to spend the money.
