Reborn: Billionaire in College

After coming out of the DJI base, the four of them crossed most of the park and arrived at the miHoYo base.

At present, miHoYo still does not have many employees, only about 30 people in total.

The reason why there are so few people is mainly because only such a small number of people are really needed to develop "Honkai Gakuen".

In essence, the map of this game is not large and the playability is average.

"After communicating with Wang Tao, what do you think?" Chen Pingjiang asked with a smile as soon as he sat down.

Cai Haoyu nodded in admiration: "I'm convinced. Brother Wang Tao is more patient than us. To be honest, if we were like him, we might not be able to hold on."

Cai Haoyu was both envious and somewhat dissatisfied with Wang Tao.

Both companies were invested by Chen Pingjiang. As a result, their close combat is doing well and their first product is about to be launched, while it is still too early for him.

Cai Haoyu was already interested in high-tech, and as soon as he saw the Phantom 1, he felt that it would definitely be a success.

A world first!

Just these four words are a big deal as a gimmick.

What's more, the price is not high.

With the help of Orange Technology's sales network, it is inevitable that it will become popular.

In this case, how could Cai Haoyu not be anxious.

We are like brothers from the same school.

The eldest senior brother had become a martial arts genius, but he, the younger junior brother, had not yet even started.

Liu Wei flattered him: "We both have the same luck in meeting you, Mr. Chen."

Chen Pingjiang nodded: "You are in a much better situation than he was at the beginning, so there is no need to belittle yourselves. And you are very different from him. Wang Tao's project failed or had no results, so many people left, but your "Honkai Academy" is about to be completed. Jin Zhicheng has his own choice, everyone has his own ambitions. If you are strong enough, will others still leave?"

These people are relatively young, and their ability to withstand setbacks is questionable. Chen Pingjiang does not want to hurt their enthusiasm because of this incident, so he tries to comfort them.

"Mr. Chen, we understand."

Chen Pingjiang changed the subject: "How long will it take for "Honkai Gakuen" to be online?"

“Two or three months is about the same.”

“Since it’s still two or three months before it goes online, let’s do a major overhaul.”

"what?"

Cai Haoyu and the other two were all stunned and looked at Chen Pingjiang in disbelief.

They thought Chen Pingjiang meant that they should speed up the process in the next two or three months.

I didn't expect it to be a major overhaul.

Looking at the three puzzled people, Chen Pingjiang explained: "You revealed before that "Honkai Gakuen" is a stand-alone game? And you plan to use a buyout system?"

"Yes, Mr. Chen."

"So, why do we have to go against money?" Chen Pingjiang smiled and shook his head: "Look at the several money-making games under Renren.com, whether it's Stealing Vegetables, League of Legends, or DNF, the games themselves are free, and they make money by purchasing in-app items."

The three of them looked at each other, undecided for a moment.

On the one hand, it was the long-term vision and persistence of the three people, on the other hand, Chen Pingjiang's opinions were very important, and others had also achieved success again and again.

"The game itself is free so that it can attract more players to participate. The general trend is to sell characters, skins, and props by drawing cards instead of rigidly selling numerical values. Personally, I think the PC version is the market for stand-alone and buyout versions."

Chen Pingjiang continued: "When I first invested in League of Legends, I had in-depth discussions with the two founders, Merrill and Baker. We all believed that the mainstream model in the future must be a free-to-play model with in-app purchases. Facts have also proved that our choice was correct."

Cai Haoyu was somewhat determined.

The main reason is that the halo above Chen Pingjiang’s head is too bright, and considering his identity, these suggestions cannot be ignored at all.

“But if it’s a major overhaul, it may take until the end of the year for us to launch it,” Liu Wei said.

"What does that matter? Either don't do it, or make it perfect. Make the rough graphics better, make the world bigger, have more maps, enrich the types of monsters, and the main and side quests. If you don't have enough people, you can continue to recruit. If 30 people are not enough, then 50 people. If 50 people are not enough, then 100 people. This is better than making a stand-alone game that doesn't make money, right?"

Previously, Chen Pingjiang did not disclose these details purely because Jin Zhicheng did not withdraw his shares.

Now that this problem has been solved, there is no need to go through the same detour again. Moreover, online multiplayer and in-app purchase modes were added to Honkai Impact 1rd in the later stages of Honkai Impact rd.

Facts have proved that Honkai Impact 1 was indeed not doing very well due to limitations in funding, channels, manpower and gaming concepts.

It only costs 6 dollars.

The revenue of the entire game was only 20.

It's really terrible.

The key game was also violently cracked, forcing Liu Wei to come out and post a message asking for mercy.

After Chen Pingjiang finished his instructions, he left, leaving space for Cai Haoyu and the other two to think.

"What do you think? Is Mr. Chen pursuing controlling stake?" Luo Yuhao suddenly blurted out.

Cai Haoyu and Liu Wei looked over at the same time, with puzzled looks on their faces.

Luo Yuhao continued, "Think about it. We signed a clause of priority purchase of shares. In addition, he said he would not interfere with us. Now he said he hopes we can switch to online games with free in-app purchases. It's like he had expected Jin Zhicheng to withdraw. Of course, I'm just guessing."

Cai Haoyu shook his head helplessly: "The clause of preferential purchase of shares shows that they are optimistic about us. Many companies have signed it, and Mr. Chen is no exception. Moreover, we didn't know that Jin Zhicheng had withdrawn, so how could Mr. Chen know? Could it be that Mr. Chen put a knife to his neck? As for why he didn't directly ask us to use online plus in-app purchases, maybe it was because he had just acquired the shares and didn't want to interfere with us? Don't make blind guesses."

Liu Wei also nodded: "Mr. Chen is very good to us. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't know whether there is miHoYo or not. I think what Mr. Chen said makes sense. At least the examples of DNF and LOL are in front of us. Besides, isn't Mr. Chen's vision famous in the industry?"

Luo Yuhao smiled awkwardly: "That's because I thought too much. If that's the case, then let's change it." "Change it, overhaul it, we must succeed this time, even if we don't have to eat steamed buns, we must fight for our reputation."

“Are you really that optimistic about DJI’s drones?”

Lin Bin was surprised when he heard Chen Pingjiang asked DJI to use Orange Technology's sales channels.

Chen Pingjiang smiled and said, "Old Lin, do you not even trust my judgment?"

"Of course not."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on. This is good for Orange, and you may even ask us to be its agent in the future."

"Haha, sorry, sorry, I don't know much about drones. I always thought they were for rich people and they must be very expensive."

"I'll bet you one dollar that it will be a company worth hundreds of billions in the future," Chen Pingjiang teased mysteriously.

"..."

A very niche noun.

When did hundreds of billions become so common?

Lin Bin smiled and shook his head, and simply responded: "No fight, even if it's just one dollar."

Chen Pingjiang was speechless, and turned around and continued: "So what do you think of miHoYo?"

Lin Bin shook his head: "I don't understand games, but I heard that they are very average? At that time, Lao Zhou laughed at you for having poor vision."

"Haha! Then let me bet with you again. This is also a company with a valuation of over 100 billion. Do you believe it?"

"Do not believe!"

Lin Bin is not stupid. At least the drone is a gimmick and a new thing.

There are so many gaming companies, so how can they achieve a market value of hundreds of billions?

Although he doesn't understand the game, at least he has common sense.

"Then let's bet 1 dollar!" Chen Pingjiang didn't explain.

These two companies are considered to be his luckiest ones.

Invest at the right time and there is nothing else to do but wait.

enough!
Or maybe it means that people who are reborn are really suitable for investing.

With a future perspective, investing in current technology companies is almost easy money.

Even if Lei Jun comes, it won’t work!
“How are sales during this period?”

After the joke, Lin Bin replied seriously: "It's still the same. In China, we beat Apple and Samsung, but we lose more than one point overseas. In the final analysis, it's because our brand influence is a little bit weaker. But if the S4 and S5 can continue this momentum, we will catch up soon."

Chen Pingjiang nodded.

Not surprised.

If Samsung and Apple were so easily overtaken overseas, it would be too far-fetched. They have been operating in the market for so long, how could it be so easy for Chen Pingjiang to break through?

It’s okay to be late.

This will save us from being like Huawei, which was eliminated immediately after surpassing others.

Chen Pingjiang is not afraid of sanctions, but he always hopes that they will come later so that he can have more time to grow up.

In other words, if the iron fist falls now, he does not have the Hongmeng system as a backup, the Daqin chip is also under development, and the Huaxin International project may even be stillborn.

Chen Pingjiang is not afraid of fighting, but he does not like meaningless sacrifice.

"Last time I read in the newspaper, Xiaomi entered India?"

"Yes." Lin Bin changed the subject: "It is said that the first wave of online activities did well. Their mobile phones are cheap and just suitable for that country. Shouldn't we enter the Indian market? After all, there are 13 billion people there."

Chen Pingjiang shook his head slowly: "Let's not go. Even Apple's sales in the Indian market are average. Our prices are similar to theirs, so going there won't help."

Lin Bin looked at Chen Pingjiang with some curiosity. This probably couldn't be used as an excuse.

No matter what, it can always be sold, so just set up a branch.

In fact, from the perspective of a CEO, Lin Bin’s idea is correct.

India’s population advantage is indeed huge, so aren’t domestic manufacturers flocking in?

Later, a bunch of domestic brands including Huawei, VIVO, OPPO, etc. appeared.

Xiaomi worked hard to build 7 factories and provide production lines for others, but ended up being charged 48 billion yuan. I don’t know what terms of settlement were reached later, but the money was returned.

But despite this, Xiaomi is still a lamb to be slaughtered and cannot get the money.

OPPO and vivo have both suffered huge losses in India, and money is often deducted from the accounts of their Indian branches.

Chinese apps are blocked at any time.

It can only be said that it is a magical country.

He smiled and patted Lin Bin on the shoulder: "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Let's do a good job in Southeast Asia and Europe first."

Lin Bin nodded suspiciously and said nothing more. (End of this chapter)
