Rewrite the Technological Landscape

Liang Zhiguo glanced at the time again, "It's almost time for the meeting, and it's time for us to leave."

"Huh?" Meng Qian looked at each other unexpectedly, "Do you two have any other questions?"

"We mainly want to meet Mr. Meng today." Liang Zhiguo got up directly and smiled.

"That..." Meng Qian subconsciously glanced at Fang Chen first, and after getting an uncertain answer in his eyes, he said bravely, "I wonder if the two of you have any ideas about the cooperation?"

Liang Zhiguo held out his hand to shake hands, "Mr. Meng wants to cooperate, so there must be a place first. We also like Lao He's factory very much. If Mr. Meng can really take it down, we can talk about it."

Meng Qian looked at Liang Zhiguo and shook hands with him, "Okay, I will definitely take it down."

"Then we'll wait for good news from Mr. Meng."

Since Liang Zhiguo and Zhu Weijun still had a meeting, Meng Qian naturally couldn't stay longer, and sent them all the way to the gate of Yanmen.

During the period, the three of them seemed to test each other a few words unintentionally, and took advantage of this journey to get a better understanding of each other.

"How do you feel?" Fang Chen couldn't help asking after entering Yanda University.

"Let's talk about that old antique, Old He."

Liang Zhiguo and Zhu Weijun looked at each other and smiled, Fang Chen saw it and didn't ask any more questions.

After watching the three go away, Meng Qian took a taxi to Yinghaiwei, and was guided by the front desk to Zhang Shuxin's office, where she was looking through the thick documents in front of her.

"boss Zhang."

"Come on." Zhang Shuxin put down his work and signaled Meng Qian to take a seat, "How is the situation?"

"The key is the lack of money." Meng Qian shrugged with a wry smile, "So is there any good news from Mr. Zhang?"

Regarding the money issue, Meng Qian asked a few people to help, including Zhang Shuxin, because Zhang Shuxin worked in the venture capital industry after leaving Yinghaiwei.

"Let me tell you about the bank loan you prefer first." Zhang Shuxin took out a folder from the side and gave it to Meng Qian, "I have asked many banks for you, but they are all basically the same, and no suitable collateral can be found. .

You don’t even have any fixed assets under your banner now, and those few computers are your company’s assets. I tried to use your user numbers as collateral, but unfortunately no bank can operate it.

Fortunately, your development situation is very good, especially the profit situation is very good. Many banks are willing to take credit loans. You should know the amount of credit loans, so it is best for you to find a guarantee. The bank can help you Try to help you increase the amount within the operable range. "

"Where can I find such a guarantee?" Meng Qian carefully looked through the estimated loan amounts of several banks that are willing to lend, "The family around me has a big business, and Ying Haiwei is the only one."

"Don't do this, you kid." Zhang Shuxin said directly, "I want to help you too, but I'm not the majority shareholder of Yinghaiwei yet."

"So if there is no guarantee on the bank's side, what is the loan limit?"

"In your current situation, I'll pick a few courageous small banks and reliable institutions to operate at the same time, and it will cost you 10 million."

"Ten million is a drop in the bucket, how is the financing going?"

"Let's take a look at the valuations given by several major employers." Zhang Shuxin turned the folder to the next few pages.

Meng Qian glanced at it, and frowned unconsciously, "The valuation of Dafeng Science and Technology Innovation is only one billion?"

"No way." Zhang Shuxin explained to Meng Qian, "This has something to do with your product. Although your game and Fengxin's ability to make money is indeed amazing, they are not conventional products in the current venture capital circle after all, especially games. There was no precedent for online game company financing in China before, and everyone was very conservative.

And here is another detail. After all, the game makes people feel that it is not on the same line with the attitude of our country. Everyone's valuation is mainly based on your Fengxin, but how much value Fengxin users can generate, maybe this is their prediction.

You know this time I heard that Penguin is also looking for financing recently. Because of your appearance, the valuation of Penguin this year is not as good as last year. You know what the valuation of Penguin is now by venture capital. "

"How many?"

"One hundred million."

"They really underestimated the infinite possibilities of instant messaging." Meng Qian shook his head, and the same sentence, people nowadays have a very weak concept of value-added charges, "One billion, 200 million is enough. It is simply impossible to give Dafeng Science and Technology a 20% stake.”

No matter how conservative Meng Qian is about the future development of Dafeng Science and Technology, it is impossible to sell the company's shares at such a low price.

"Is there no other way?" Meng Qian rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought for a long time.

He Yongkang selling a lithography machine factory is indeed not in Meng Qian's plan. He didn't know that there would be such an opportunity before, but such an opportunity appeared, but he had no money, which was really uncomfortable.

It's absolutely impossible without money.

I stayed in Yanjing for a day, and asked Zhang Shuxin about the issue of raising money. Zhang Shuxin really has a lot of ways. According to the plan she gave Meng Qian, Meng Qian can raise almost 50 million, but the problem is, the interest A little high.

On February 27, 2001, Meng Qian returned to Hangzhou by plane. At 12:00 noon, thinking about money, he returned to the company a little depressed, and was about to enter the office. Wei Pengtian, who had just returned from Korea yesterday, suddenly blocked him. the office door.

"What are you doing?" Meng Qian looked at Wei Pengtian inexplicably.

"Cough, cough, cough." Wei Pengtian coughed twice, with a stern look on his face, "Mr. Meng, when we set off for Korea, you set us a small goal, do you still remember it?"

"Remember, what's wrong?" Meng Qian was even more puzzled.

Wei Pengtian made a look behind him, Meng Qian turned his head, and saw Li Feiqing smile at himself, and then held up a piece of paper with a data on it: 28.79 million.

Meng Qian was stunned for a moment at first, but immediately realized, his eyes changed, "From Korea?"

"That's right." Li Feiqing's expression was not as exaggerated as Wei Pengtian's, but it could be seen that he was really proud.

Meng Qian reacted quickly, "17 days, 28.79 million, why, have you done the analysis report?"

Li Feiqing nodded, "I did."

"Come in and talk."

This time, everyone who went to Korea entered Meng Qian's office, and Li Feiqing gave Meng Qian an analysis report. Through the report and the statements of the 8 people on the scene, Meng Qian probably figured out the matter.

The emergence of this situation is a combination of many factors.

One is the better network foundation of Koryo. "The Legend of God" has always been troubled by one thing in China, and that is the speed of the Internet. Because of the problem of network speed, the team activities that "The Legend of God" originally wanted to promote have not been able to do so. Too generalized.

Because when you play team dungeons together, you often encounter problems of being stuck or even being disconnected. The same is true for alliance activities, which are deeply affected by the speed of the Internet. Another thing is the voice function, which Meng Qian made a long time ago. However, due to the problem of Huaxia's Internet speed, it did not realize its effective meaning.

Therefore, many team gameplays in the later updates of "The Legend of God" have not been launched.

But fortunately, the network speed problem is not the fault of Dafeng Kechuang. Coupled with the various advantages of "Shen Biography" in other aspects, "Shen Biography" still has a foothold in China, but this problem has always existed.

But in Koryo, this problem was almost solved because of the better network environment in Koryo. The various team games of "Shenzhen" quickly attracted Korean players, because these were originally an advantage design of "Shenzhen". When you are not so troubled by the Internet, players can appreciate the difference between these gameplays and other online games in Koryo.

And team play has always been a very important core of the game, because the existence of the team can increase the stickiness of the players in the team to the game, which is a kind of emotional stickiness, especially after being bound to instant messaging.

Therefore, "The Legend of God" has been spreading very quickly in Koryo recently, because it has inherited the player atmosphere created by Koryo online games on the basis of Koryo online games, and is different from other games in Koryo, bringing freshness to Koryo game players.

And when gamers grew wildly, Korea's second advantage appeared, income!

In 2001, when Chinese people were still thinking about five yuan and ten yuan, the per capita income of Korea had basically reached the level of China in 2019, and like most developed countries, except for a few core cities, housing prices were not high. The money they can spend every month is much higher than that of the current Huaxia people.

Therefore, there are a lot of gift bags and costumes in "The Legend of God". For Chinese players, they will be reluctant to buy them, but for Korean players, at least spending this little money is not so distressing.

This is like a person with a monthly salary of 8,000, a monthly mortgage of 2,000, and no girlfriend. If he spends one or two hundred yuan a month on a game he really likes, he won't feel bad.

Including the current Korean students, the cost of living is much higher than that of Huaxia students.

At the same time, there is another core reason, copyright awareness.

Korea does not have such a long-standing piracy culture in China, and paying for products is a natural concept for them.

Many people in later generations say that Chinese people are willing to spend money to buy AJ but are reluctant to part with 20 yuan members. In fact, there is a problem with consumption habits. I don't want to spend it.

Of course, the various routines of Dafeng Kechuang also played a role.

Therefore, the value-added model of games such as "The Legend of God" did not achieve a big explosion in China in 2001. Many Chinese players played for more than half a year without spending a penny, but it is different from China's consumption concept. Korea, it broke out.

And at this time, Koryo only has one game called "The Legend of God" to play free routines. Other games are point cards. "Biography" diverted players' investment in the game, and Meng Qian took advantage of it.

After knowing everything, Meng Qian couldn't help laughing out loud.

Goryeo games had a market in China back then, but they didn't make much money. As a result, they exploded in the Chinese market, and a "Legend" made billions.

But now, "The Legend of God" has a market in China but didn't make much money, and it exploded in the Korean market. According to this momentum, it is definitely no problem for "The Legend of God" to earn hundreds of millions in Korea.

Fate is wonderful.

Thanks LLK for the reward!
