Chapter 28 Visit MiHoYo!

Xiong Xiaoge’s suggestion is feasible, and Bilibili’s shares cannot be moved for the time being. After all, the investment in MiHoYo has not yet been completed.

After Mr. Xiong's matchmaking, two banks headed by Deutsche Bank finally completed the pledge of 5.5% of Himalayan shares held by Slope Capital.

According to market assessment, according to the latest Himalaya valuation, this part of the shares is worth about 50 million. Finally, Deutsche Bank made a 25 million share pledge loan to Slope Capital, with interest first and then the principal. The annual interest rate of the loan is 5.2%, one year

Then repay the principal in one lump sum.

With this fund, Zheng Wentong took his secretary Xu Ru to MiHoYo Network Technology (Puhai) Co., Ltd. on January 13th.

This company is located on Yinxiang Road in JD District. The reason why it did not bring financial manager Yao Yutong was because it did not want to arouse the vigilance of the three founders of MiHoYo. They were wary of external investors and had already rejected Penguin’s financial investment advice.

Xu Ru and Zheng Wentong were both dressed more casually today. Neither of them wore formal attire, which was also specifically requested by Zheng Wentong.

Xu Ru wore a beige half-length knitted skirt today. It was high-waisted, slim and long-legged. The V-neck was decorated with pearl buttons. It was exquisite and elegant. She wore bright red lipstick on her lips, making her look mysterious and sexy.

Zheng Wentong did not drive the Mercedes-Benz there today, but drove Xu Ru to Jiading in the Panamera. It was warm in the car, so Xu Ru did not put on a thick coat. When she sat in the passenger seat, Mr. Zheng couldn't help but praise Xu Ru.

Ru's dress today is very charming.

"Don't mention it. Since you joined the company, the young girls in the company have learned how to dress like you. I feel that the overall appearance of the company has improved a lot."

Xu Ru smiled and said, "After all, I'm about to turn thirty. I can't compare with the little girls in the company. I can only spend so much time on dressing. When I went out, my husband was surprised and almost thought I was going on a date. But Mr. Zheng, what are you doing today?"

She looks very sporty in her clothes, aren’t these shoes quite expensive?”

Today, Zheng Wentong wore a FILA red sweatshirt, black pants, and a pair of North Carolina blue AJ6s, looking fashionable and sunny.

"Really? I'm not sure. I went to Hangzhou a few days ago and my girlfriend bought it for me." Zheng Wentong didn't pay attention.

"Oh, it turns out that you have become a regular employee, congratulations! No wonder you have been so full of love during this time. It turns out that you are nourished by love. When your girlfriend came back to the company, we had a good impression of her. She is very polite and well-behaved."

Xu Ru praised Mr. Zheng’s girlfriend.

"No, I saw you and your husband on the river beach on New Year's Eve. You are a tall and handsome man. You have been married for so many years and your relationship is so sweet and sweet. It makes others envious."

Xu Ru sighed, "Every family has its own troubles. I started working as a car model when I was in college. After I graduated, I married my husband. Because I wanted to live together as two people for a few years, I wanted to have children later."

"It turned out that my parents-in-law, parents, and parents kept urging me, but in the end I couldn't resist. Jiajia was born. As a result, after you became a housewife, the family was actually used to you not working. I really didn't want to be out of touch with society, so I came out resolutely.

work."

"My parents-in-law and my husband are actually not very supportive, but my parents persuaded me to come out and give it a try. The company also gave me a good opportunity and I learned a lot from Mr. Zheng." Xu Ru revealed a little bit about her family.

trouble.

"If being a stay-at-home mom makes you happy and has a sense of accomplishment, then it's good to be able to do the logistical work with peace of mind."

"But if you want to have an independent source of income and achieve career success, then it's not bad to go to work. The key lies in your own choice. You have to know what you want." Zheng Wentong concluded.

"Indeed, my husband is an executive of a state-owned venture capital fund, so he socializes a lot at work. After drinking, they have to go to the nightclub to have fun. If you are at home, you have to wait for him and get sulky. But wait

Now that I have an independent job, I don't care about such small things. Mr. Zheng, do you really never drink?" Xu Ru was very curious.

"For now, yes. Because many relationships are also entrusted to others. When socializing face to face, everyone has the same status. It is understandable if you don't drink. These days, leading others to make money is much more effective than drinking a few glasses of wine."

"Why do Chinese people drink? Because they have to distinguish between high and low status. People with high status force people with low status to drink. This power of control makes them very happy. If you don't drink, you don't give me face. If you don't drink, your business

Do you still want to talk?"

"Northerners have a strong sense of officialdom. The three eastern provinces, Yanjing, Shandong Province, and Hebei Province have a stronger ethos. When doing things, you often have to find connections first. Compare who has the best connections or who has the broadest paths. If you behave yourself

You may not be able to get things done yet.”

"If you mention that you know someone at a wine party in the north, they will immediately get excited. I know this person well. He is my buddy. No, I have to call him over. We are all friends. We are really close.

I’m here. If I’m not here, I’m sorry, but this guy has something to do. I’ll host you another day and we’ll have another date.”

"The Yangtze River Delta is different from the Pearl River Delta. In the market economy, I do business with you because you can help me make money, not because you can drink. They like to drink tea, cultivate their character, and negotiate things over the tea table.

, rather than at a banquet. Northerners are generous and southerners are shrewd, but I still like to do business with southerners, which is why the northern economy is not as good as the southern one." Zheng Wentong summed it up.

When we arrived at MiHoYo, the three founders of the company, Cai Haoyu, Luo Yuhao, and Liu Wei, were all in the company. They were also wearing casual clothes, and the employees of the entire company were also dressed more casually. Zheng Wentong thought that he had changed his clothes correctly.

Zheng Wentong shook hands with the three game tycoons one by one, "Hello, hello, I have seen you for a long time." Cai Haoyu teased Zheng Wentong, "Mr. Zheng, this is the first time I have seen such a persistent investor like you." Since 2014.

Since August, Slope Investment has been contacting MiHoYo almost every half month, asking to meet with the founder team, but has been rejected.

"There is no way. After investing in Bilibili, I think there are many things in common between MiHoYo and Bilibili."

"After seeing these three, I now believe that technology nerds can really change the world." Cai Haoyu and the other three are alumni of Puhai Jiaotong University. They started their businesses when they were in college. The small games they developed were listed in the App Store and won the US and regional awards.

Recommendations for RB area.

Cai Haoyu had a good first impression of Zheng Wentong. Although the two had communicated several times on WeChat, this face-to-face communication was more important.

The five people came to the conference room and sat down. MiHoYo's conference room was also very unique, with a round coffee table and several sofas scattered around. The atmosphere for conversation suddenly became more relaxed.

Xu Ru knew that she was mainly responsible for taking minutes of the meeting today, helping Mr. Zheng check for omissions and fill vacancies, calm the atmosphere, and point out issues that Mr. Zheng was inconvenient to talk about. This job was not easy.

"I noticed that your company has been developing otaku games. Once a game is successful, it immediately starts to develop new games. I have played every game of your company and enjoy the happiness brought by the game. Believe me

He also has the heart of a homebody, as my assistant Xu Ru can testify." Zheng Wentong started with a relaxed topic.

Liu Wei took over the topic, "There is a saying in the industry that when Mr. Zheng invests in a company, he must first become a loyal user of the company. Only if he, the user, recognizes the value of the company, will he be willing to invest in him. This is true for Bilibili and Ximalaya."

.”

Xu Ru nodded, "Mr. Zheng not only plays "Honkai Impact 2", but also contacts MiHoYo's customer service for game settings and planning. However, your company's customer service is very slow in replying to messages."

Luo Yuhao laughed, "Really? Mr. Zheng will leave your game ID later, and we can send you some equipment as compensation."

Zheng Wentong knew in his heart that miHoYo has always been very arrogant in its attitude towards players. This arrogance comes from the fact that their technical capabilities are ahead of their peers, and their representative games can dominate the market for a while.

This kind of arrogance can always wake up game producers to constantly develop more sophisticated games while focusing on the market.

MiHoYo always reminds game companies like Penguin and Wangyi that even if they are making "bad money" in the domestic game market, they must use carefully crafted products instead of junk games produced by the assembly line.

Among them, the foreign server bunny girl incident in "Honkai Impact 3" and the "Zhongli Incident" in "Genshin Impact" fully reflect MiHoYo's arrogance.

In fact, this kind of arrogance will also lead to backlash from players. For example, when PDD played "Ni Shui Han", due to the insincere apology from Wangyi officials, PDD was angered. As a result, PDD destroyed the game with tens of millions of recharges in front of the fans during the live broadcast.

Account, so this game is completely cool.

Cai Haoyu's thinking is very simple. You players are enjoying the happiness brought by our game making. What meaningful suggestions can you make? This is also a kind of arrogance of elite thinking, just like the powerful and aristocratic class despise ordinary people.

"Actually, the audiences of MiHoYo and Station B are very close. Users of both of you like two-dimensional culture very much."

"When players play games, they actually like to interact with other players. Regarding the cooperation between MiHoYo and Bilibili, I have a few ideas for your reference."

"For example, let a well-known game UP host play "Honkai Impact 2" live, and the official live broadcast room will discuss the direction and operation of the game. The barrage culture of station B can also increase the interaction between the two parties. Of course, MiHoYo can also set up some official lottery draws

activities to increase the popularity of the game.”

"I have seen your revenue in 2014, and it has exceeded 100 million, which is a very impressive figure. But I think you should hand over the game to the agent of Bilibili, and the two will be deeply bound. With the help of Bilibili, "Honkai Impact 2"

It can help you gather a group of ACG fans. According to my estimates, the revenue of "Honkai Impact 2" in 2015 can exceed 300 million. If by the end of 2016, the total revenue of the entire game project is expected to exceed 1 billion."

Cai Haoyu has also thought enough about this aspect. He saw the cross-border cooperation between Slope Capital and Station B. The video of "Puhai City Lujiazui New Year's Eve Fireworks Show" on the official website of Station B is still very popular, and many have not seen it live.

Fireworks users also flocked to the video and left comments below.
