I stole someone else's ticket to rebirth

Chapter 214 Business is business
Some people took advantage of the popularity and directly became a top anchor.

Some people successfully promoted themselves to high-level coolies by handing out money.

April 4th is a day that many people in the gaming industry will remember.

Because... someone took Li Yang to eat chicken, and the four of them joined forces to kill a round, killing more than 80 people in total.

Among them, Li Yang himself killed more than forty.

You must know that as the number of players continues to increase, the skills of those who snipe Li Yang have also improved by leaps and bounds. After all, China's most indispensable thing is all kinds of talents.

Basically, top experts participate in sniping.

In this way, Li Yang still wasted nearly a month to successfully eat chicken.

It is enough to prove how strong his teammates are, and it is even more enough to prove how strong Li Yang is.

In other words, those three people will get a 10 million contract.

Li Yang: "..., what does the club have to do with you?"

"If you say that, then I won't ask Fellow Daoist Jiang to borrow money..."

This means that the chips in the hands of these current shareholders will be diluted by 20%.

Anyway, just survive these two days, and my family will soon have to pay for living expenses.

Bai Qing asked Wu Tianqi to help because he wanted to find something for Wu Tianqi to do.

"Damn! I thought you were fighting for legitimate interests. After doing this for a long time, you just wanted to use your power for personal gain?"

As a result... two of the three were under eighteen years old, and one was under sixteen years old.

In a sense, three minors.

His words seemed to resonate with Wu Tianqi, and Wu Tianqi's chat box opened up.

He has average talent and no advantage in height. No matter how hard he works, it will be difficult for him to make ends meet through this major.

He chatted with Bai Qing for a while, but not about Yang Shanshan, and asked Bai Qing to arrange a female assistant for Wu Tianqi.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, which has been in public beta for more than 20 days, has also undergone transformation at this moment.

Li Yang previously held 30%, but after dilution, only 24% remained.
Xiangnu had 52% before, but after this round of financing, less than 42% is left.
The other shareholders combined only have 14% left.

After Xiangnu saw the quotation given by Li Yang, he asked: "Wanliu Capital will pay?"

……

Li Yang had already obtained the financing plan for a certain fish. After he agreed to enter the market, Xiangnu didn't announce it at all and could do it privately.

"Five thousand dollars is fine. I want to order takeout for the club."

"Do you want your aunt to pay you a salary?"

"Li Daoyou, my aunt put the koala club in front of Zhongzhou University and asked me to be the general manager to take charge of everything. But I am still a student, so I can't sign a labor contract and can't get paid. I've been having a hard time... lately... As long as you live broadcast, I have to wait around the clock. I don’t know how many people I have to add as friends every day. I just transfer money every day..."

Li Yang received a message from Wu Tianqi, who rarely spoke.

"Yes, but we have to wait until June. The bonds just issued by Wanliu Capital have not yet collected enough money."

Wu Tianqi didn't dare to take Bai Qing's money, even if he was poor, he would have to borrow money.

Wanliu Capital wants money, which is actually quite simple.

"No, just ask her to arrange an assistant for me. I think Yang Shanshan is good."

The official website of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds opened reservations. In just half a day, the number of reservations exceeded 5 million. A day later, the number of reservations exceeded 12 million.

"Fellow Daoist Li, can you borrow some money?"

The popularity accumulated across the entire Internet cannot be said to be unprecedented, but at least it is comparable to the popularity it has accumulated over the past 18 years in my lifetime.

Wu Tianqi issued a statement, and no one thought it was wrong.

"..."

"In view of the fact that all three of them are minors, the contract period is unified to three years, with each person receiving 50,000 yuan in the first two years and 2.34 million yuan in the third year!"

Ten million was given, and since all of them were minors, it was understandable to bet on the third year.

Wu Tianqi was unhappy, "Why are you using power for personal gain? Fellow Daoist Li, our friendship has faded..."

Wu Tianqi was responsible for this matter. Bai Qing fulfilled his promise and formed a team called Kaola, asking Wu Tianqi to serve as the general manager and sign contracts with three people.

"What the hell... okay, okay, let me help you talk."

Li Yang transferred five thousand yuan to Wu Tianqi, and then... nothing happened...

Even if no one said it, everyone with a discerning eye knew that Wu Tianqi, a sports student, had no future.

The valuation is 4 billion and the financing is 800 million.

Even if his family can provide help and he has no worries about food and drink, he still needs a sense of social recognition.

There is no problem in asking a bank to get billions of dollars by mortgaging equity.

"How much to borrow?"

Someone took away 10 million, and Li Yang's live broadcast mission was considered over. If there was still traffic in this area in the future, he would let others take it.

However, Jiang Banxia did not choose this path. Instead, he chose to issue 4.72 billion bonds. After review, the bond was finally approved with a fixed coupon of %. It would take almost half a month to get the money.

The entire process progressed very quickly, and the original three-month process was reduced to ten days.

Just like Jiang Banxia said before, everything seemed to be going smoothly.

From the successful acquisition of the game license to the acceleration of the bond issuance process by Wanliu Capital, Li Yang could feel those invisible hands.

It's not necessarily a good thing, but there's no reason why he doesn't want it.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds will be officially open to the public on May 1st.

On this day, the number of reservations reached 28 million.

The game directly launched a God of War list. Within a month, FPP and TPP single row, double row and four row, a total of six modes. The top 500 gods of war in each mode can participate in the final prize sharing, with a prize pool of 28 million. , that is, the number of reservations.

On this day, there were 16 million total online users, and the highest number of simultaneous online users reached 9 million, setting a new world record.

The highest number of people online at the same time in LOL is only 750 million.

There are no consumer items in the game itself, and the mall is empty. Li Yang has prepared a fee-based project called the season manual, which will not be launched until the Chinese New Year.

These are all what Bai Qing said.

According to Bai Qing, there is a threshold for players to spend money in the game.

The so-called threshold depends entirely on whether they find something attractive.

With the current situation of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, if a bunch of things are released, people will definitely rush to buy them.

But as soon as the game started, the threshold was raised.

Just like a novel, the protagonist earns 100 billion at the beginning, and what he does later must be more exciting than earning 100 billion. Otherwise, it will not be able to raise the reader's threshold, and the results will naturally be poor.

But there are few things in the world that are as satisfying as earning 100 billion. If there is, it would be to blow up the planet.

According to Bai Qing's theory, only after most people fall in love with the game and become addicted to it can some in-app purchases be released in small quantities.

It is best to have something to do with the liver, it is not something that can be done simply by having money.

There are indeed many games where you can make money through power leveling. But that kind of market is not big enough to support the consumption attributes of the entire game.

If you want to make money, you can increase the added value of your products rather than launching products frequently.

But it shouldn’t look too ugly. It’s best to make a product have a high hidden value.

For example, a cool piece of clothing is hanging in the mall and sells for 588 clothing coins.

Clothing coins can be obtained by opening boxes with game gold coins, which are given by the system after each round.

So, in theory, you can get such a top-notch fashion item for free.

But in reality, it is difficult to do it. The chance of getting clothing coins by opening the box with game gold coins is very low, but because it is equivalent to free, everyone has no resistance.

Then open another channel to obtain clothing coins, such as opening a season manual. Through the liver, you can obtain a certain amount of ordinary fashions. If there are too many ordinary fashions, they can be broken down into clothing coins.

In this way, it can emphasize the liver attribute of the game and make it look less ugly, even if it costs tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands to obtain a top-notch fashion item.

If you sell one million pieces of something worth 100 yuan, you will indeed make more money than if you sell 3,000 pieces of something worth 10,000 yuan.

But the latter is easier to extend the life of the game.

The essence of game updates is to increase the threshold and retain more players.

Raising the threshold is in conflict with making money.

The advantage of this is that even if fewer and fewer people play this game in the future, the currency attribute can be stable, and many people will still be immersed in it.

These are all summed up by Bai Qing from some long-lasting games. The disadvantage is that the revenue is not explosive, and few game companies are willing to bet on the future.

It's like facing two choices. The first choice is to give one million on the spot, and the other choice is to give 180,000 every year for the next ten years.

The vast majority of people will choose the former, and the money that comes first is the money.

You can use this money to incubate other games, or you can save it to earn interest and ensure income during droughts and floods.

Bai Qing still has some romanticism. She is not a pure businessman, but wants the game to become a group bond. After getting Li Yang's approval, she seemed very happy.

Even if Li Yang didn't agree with her thoughts, it wouldn't affect Li Yang's status in her heart, but it was obviously more rare to agree.

Another happy day.

……

During the May Day holiday, Li Yang and Jiang Banxia rested at home.

There are many topics that the two of them can talk about, and they can chat for three to five hours even if they talk about a little bit of work.

At the end of the conversation, Li Yang said: "Master Jiang, actually you should have a better future."

Jiang Banxia was anxious when he heard this, "What's better? Are you telling the truth? Take it back quickly!"

Li Yang smiled and said: "I mean career, what are you thinking about?"

"Oh oh oh, my career is pretty good now."

"What's good? Wanliu Capital is so famous and its scale is now quite impressive, but have you got anything substantial? Look at the status of the bosses of other fund companies. They treat people to dinner almost every day. , no matter where you go, you are always a welcome guest.”

Jiang Banxia said in confusion: "I also have invitations to events, but I'm too lazy to go."

"Oh, what kind of activities are you invited to? They are basically fund conferences or financial forums. And you are not invited to speak, just to act as an audience. And most of those who speak on stage are quite Yu Wanliu Capital, a small fund manager. It was okay not to invite you because the Cen family was taking the blame. Now the Cen family has nothing to do but invite you on important occasions. How can it be justified? "

Jiang Banxia is the richest man in the country under the age of 20. Wanliu Capital is enough to beat those established funds in terms of popularity and income.

Do you think Jiang Banxia has been treated unfairly? It doesn’t really count. After all, it’s not that they weren’t invited, but they just didn’t pay attention.

Is it unfair to you if others don’t value you? Thinking this way will not win everyone's approval.

They can find a lot of excuses, such as Jiang Banxia is still young, Wanliu Capital has not been established for a long time, etc.

Jiang Banxia said nonchalantly: "Even if you invite me, I don't really want to go."

"Let's not talk about this. You have made such a strong profit. Do you have the funds for the national team to enter the market? Look at the funds that have been established in China. Which one is short of money? If we want to get some money, we must either mortgage it or issue it. Bonds. Although this bond issuance went smoothly, it will take time to raise funds.

For example, Guardian Capital is also from Beijing, and its current scale is only 80 billion. The local social security funds, pension funds, and even various insurance bond funds are willing to give them. If they issue bonds, even if they only have a three-point coupon, they will definitely be sold out immediately. "

Many seemingly insignificant things clearly highlighted Jiang Banxia and his social status.

Jiang Banxia leaned on Li Yang's shoulder and said calmly: "Master Li, why should you care about that? Anyway, no one is messing with us now. We work hard with our own hands and we don't lack food and drink. Isn't it great?"

Li Yang smiled and said: "That's right, but you have to do something, right? How about we do something big?"

There is nothing unbalanced about Li Yang, but he likes this feeling of alienation.

But only for him.

He doesn't give face to others, and others don't give him face either. The two sides are even.

But Jiang Banxia should have more honors...

"What's the big deal?"

“Issue new funds with no limits.”

Jiang Banxia's eyes widened, this was really a big deal.

Two months ago, in order to prevent Wanliu Capital from becoming the target of public criticism, Jiang Banxia chose to limit the subscription amount. Each ID card could only subscribe for 100,000 yuan.

For people with financial needs, one hundred thousand yuan is too little.

This caused Wanliu Capital to miss out on a lot of big funds.

The people who really need public financing are actually the middle class, mostly in the hundreds of thousands or millions.

The clients that Wanliu Capital accepts cannot be said to be poor, but they are certainly not wealthy.

Jiang Banxia asked: "Master Li, has he noticed something good?"

Li Yang nodded, "In recent times, I have found that funds have begun to group up with white horse stocks..."

Jiang Banxia: “????”

She was not surprised that Li Yang could see the market conditions, and she had always thought that Li Yang was better at stock trading than she was.

But what Li Yang said, coupled with his previous thoughts, seemed a little wrong.

Who is Li Yang? This guy is very narrow-minded.

Is there a possibility that even if he didn't announce the limit two months ago, Li Yang would hint to her?

What is the purpose? Of course, it is to prevent other funds from being alert and let them continue to bury funds in white horse stocks.

Until now, everyone has no way out and can only wait for the opportunity to dig for opportunities in white horse stocks.

Then, she had no limit.

It is possible that in a very short period of time, tens of billions or even tens of billions of funds from the market can be absorbed and rushed in to snatch their profits.

Just like building a house, the most difficult foundation, the basement, was finished, but the foreman waved his hand and said that others would build the remaining floors.

It's also like spending money to marry a wife, but when you enter the bridal chamber, you find that someone else is already there.

Jiang Banxia's doubtful eyes were seen by Li Yang.

Li Yang said: "Just do this job. After we finish this job, we will retire."

Hearing this, Jiang Banxia said without any hesitation, "Okay! When?"

"July 7rd! I'll try to raise as much money as possible before then."

"Then I'll find a way to raise more money."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

There is a sense of conspiring to do something bad.

Jiang Banxia is also very satisfied with this day, because it is her birthday.

On this day last year, A-shares fell by the limit.

She checked her calendar.

"Master Li, it's Sunday, July 7rd."

"Yeah, get ready on Sunday, work on Monday."

"Good good!"

There are exactly two months left.

……

During the May Day holiday, a lot of things happened publicly, and even more happened privately.

The Cen family's huge house soon became empty.

As for the Cen family members, except for a limited number of people, most of them are missing.

Ofo’s shareholders changed, and Chest Hair TV’s shareholders changed.

These pieces of information are trivial, but in the eyes of a caring person, they can see through the current situation at a glance.

The Cen family has cleared all their chips, and there is no chance of a comeback.

This is almost the heaviest and most severe punishment.

Father Cen Yeming's final destination was an inconspicuous transfer news. He went to an inconspicuous city and assumed an inconspicuous position without even being given the final dignity.

After the Cen family left the building empty, a meeting was held.

"This incident is not only a wake-up call for the Cen family, but also a wake-up call for all of us. Facing the current era, we must pay attention to our words and deeds, and we must set an example..."

The theme of the entire meeting was clear and clear.

Many people have realized that in the real Internet era, everyone will have a certain right to speak, more or less...

In particular, news ferments very quickly on the Internet, so we must pay close attention to relevant matters in the future.

All kinds of things, I talked for two hours.

Most of the people present were absent-minded because they didn't hear what they wanted.

They have been reflecting on the previous ones a lot during this time.

The Cen family had sacrificed Cen Yeming's life to get Li Yang's concession. Who among them was willing to gamble with their son's life?

They lack a tone and are trying to find it here and then reach a consensus.

A few more minutes passed.

"Comrades, times have changed. Things must be done not only fairly and justly, but also openly! No matter who you are, you must strictly abide by the regulations on official business in the future, otherwise the building will collapse in just a thought!"

After saying this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone clapped silently, looked at each other, and took a second breath of relief.

It has been made very clear, and everyone has reached an agreement: business is business!
