Chapter 408 Dissuade investors

Wednesday, January 26th.

Dream Ventures.

Pei Qian drank tea, listened to He Desheng's report, and wandered the world.

Ruan Guangjian left, and the last exam week was completed, which should have been a double happiness, but Pei Qian always felt a little empty.

There is still a week before the Spring Festival, and seeing that the students around him have gone home one by one, Pei Qian himself is still busy with the company's affairs.

What a hard work!

He wanted to die, oh no, he didn't care, but he couldn't help it, he didn't look for a job, and life would come to him.

There are two activities in Dream Venture Capital, one is the national service of ioi, and the other is Xueba's quick app.

At present, the testing status of IOI in Europe and the United States is very good, and according to common sense, it is almost time for the national server to start preparations.

At this stage, many domestic game companies have noticed the good momentum of IOI during the European and American tests, and want to win the agency of the national server as soon as possible.

However, when I went to the finger company, I learned that the agency of the national service had been taken first......

Therefore, if these people want to get the agency of IOI national service, they can only hope that Dream Venture Capital will be resold.

In the case that many companies are interested, the price code is naturally getting higher and higher.

"Mr. Pei, so we ...... Is it sold? He concluded his tirade with a tirade that ended with a question that touched the soul.

Pei Qian was silent for a moment: "Can you tell me how much is the highest offer now?" ”

He Desheng: "Thirty-five million." ”

Pei Qian silently put down the teacup, almost wanting to look up to the sky and sigh.

35 million!

Now the national service agency in the hands of Dream Venture Capital is a free gift from buying the shares of the finger company before......

At that time, it only cost a total of 20 million to buy more than 20% of the shares of the finger company, and now these shares are still in hand, just selling the agency rights of the national service, it is 35 million.

It's not so fast to grab money.

Pei Qian immediately shook his head: "Refuse all, don't sell it!" ”

Pei Qian knew very well in his heart that as soon as he got this money, he wouldn't expect to lose money in this cycle!

Seeing that there are still two months to settle, what can I do in these two months to spend more than 30 million to ensure that the project is launched? It's so uninsured!

So, it definitely can't be sold!

He Desheng agreed: "Yes, I think so too! 35 million is too little, and if you take it in your hand for a while, you can definitely sell it higher! ”

Pei Qian: "? ”

He Desheng's face was filled with joy, and he continued: "Mr. Pei, I have also done my homework, and now several large domestic companies are acting as agents for foreign games, and the agency fees are almost astronomical!" ”

"The agency fee for the last version of "Fantasy World" is 30 million US dollars, nearly 200 million!"

"Now it seems that IOI's future popularity may reach the level of "Fantasy World", and now 35 million want to buy it from us? There are no doors! ”

"Of course, this is also because IOI has just started testing, and the finger company itself is not very famous."

"In short, we don't need to worry at all now, as long as the popularity of IOI continues to increase abroad, the agency fee will definitely rise again!"

Pei Qian: "......"

We're not thinking about the same thing at all, okay?

Pei Qian thinks that as soon as it is sold now, the settlement of this cycle will be directly lost, and there is no place to spend 35 million, so it can't be sold.

And what He Desheng thinks is that 35 million is obviously still low, and he will continue to raise the price!

After listening to He Desheng's words, Pei Qian wanted to sell it a little.

But on second thought, I still can't sell it.

In the short term, selling affects settlement; In the long run, if IOI can really reach the level of billions, then Pei Qian will simply lie down and make money.

After thinking about it for a while, Pei Qian said: "I mean, not only can't we sell it, but we also have to open another company to be responsible for operating IOI's national uniform!" ”

He Desheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately nodded: "That's also good!" ”

"So that we can hold this cash cow in our hands and make money continuously!"

Pei Qian: "......"

You can think whatever you like, I don't want to say anything anymore, I'm tired!

Pei Qian decided to set up his own company to operate the IOI national service, mainly for two reasons.

On the one hand, since you have already obtained the agency of the national service, if you don't do it or sell it, it will definitely not work, and it will inevitably arouse suspicion.

On the other hand, you can spend more money by operating it yourself!

As a real-time battle game, whether it is ioi or GOG, the server requirements are the highest among all the games of Tengda, and it is inevitable to spend a lot of server costs.

At the same time, the initial publicity of IOI will definitely require a lot of money.

In this way, at least you can guarantee that you will lose money during this cycle.

As for the future......

If IOI really becomes a cash cow and makes endless losses, then Pei Qian can still consider simply making a salted fish, and in the future, he will point to the 1000:1 profit conversion ratio to earn some pocket money.

Pei Qian didn't want to dwell too much on the problem of ioi, anyway, he definitely couldn't sell it now, so he could only grit his teeth and do it step by step.

"In short, there is no need to rush this matter, let's talk about it in a few years."

"Where's the 'Xueba' coming over there?"

"The previous three million should have been spent almost as much, right?" Pei Qian asked casually.

During this time, the "Xueba Come Soon" project kept burning money, whether it was advertising or subsidies, there were holes everywhere.

Although it is not as terrifying as the crazy paving of shared bicycles and burning money, after all, the initial funds are only three million, and they will be spent after a little spending.

He Desheng nodded: "It's almost there, there is less than one million left on the books." ”

"But Mr. Pei, don't worry, recently several investment companies have shown strong interest in the 'Xueba Come Soon' project and want to chase the investment!"

The teacup that Pei Qian had just brought to his lips stopped: "...... Ha? ”

You have to chase such an unreliable project? Your brain didn't burn out, did you?

The app of "Xueba is coming" has been revised.

Previously, Pei Qian found that this app had a bad trend of becoming a dating platform, and he had taken decisive measures to make major changes to some functions.

Now, all user options on the platform have no gender, no photos, just names and default avatars.

When you look at the homepage of a certain student, you can only see the praise rate and the default labels of the system that others have put on him, such as: good teaching attitude, patience, easy to understand, etc.

The homepage of the scumbag is also relatively similar, with the same praise rate and the default tags of the system, such as: listen carefully, have a good learning attitude, understand politeness, etc.

According to the current standard process, the scumbag fills in the requirements on the app, including the subject, time, and agreed place that he needs to tutor, and the student takes orders independently, and the chat function attached to the software is used throughout the whole process, and the gender and appearance of the other party cannot be clearly known during the whole process.

Of course, there will definitely be people who try to ask each other's gender before meeting, in response to this situation, the app has also specially designed a "one-click complaint" function, which will automatically submit the chat history of both parties for review after clicking, and terminate this counseling.

Once it is verified that an account has probed the other party's gender or appearance, the account will be immediately punished, ranging from deducting credit points to permanently blocking the ID card and mobile phone number.

As soon as this new version of the app was updated, the number of active users plummeted!

Because the app is mixed with a large number of users with impure purposes, they just regard this as a platform for meeting the opposite sex.

Just like on the taxi software, there are many drivers who will deliberately pick some beautiful girls to take orders and discuss them privately, and there is no shortage of such people in the "Xueba Come Soon" app.

What's more, face-to-face tutoring is already easy to create opportunities for this kind of encounter, and if it is left unchecked, it should be even more serious than taxi-hailing software.

The new version is updated, which completely extinguishes the delusions of this group of people.

Therefore, it is normal for the popularity of the app to plummet.

Pei Qian originally thought that as soon as this new version came out, it would inevitably deal a heavy blow to the "Xueba, Come Soon" project, and then seize the time to burn all the millions, and everything would be fine.

Unexpectedly, how can there be a few investment companies to pursue?

Pei Qian fell into deep thought.

Originally, he planned to burn the three million quickly, and then he could justifiably declare the project a failure and let it cool naturally.

As a result, the money has not been spent yet, and someone has rushed to deliver the money, what can I do!

Pei Qian wanted to refuse, but there was no reason!

Mr. Li's Fuhui Capital has invested 1 million, and other investment companies want to invest, and the shares they want are not much, and the project of "Xueba Come Soon" is currently relatively short of money......

What is the reason for refusal?

Pei Qian thought about it for a moment, and there were.

Isn't it okay to tell these companies and the unreliable parts of this project, and let them know the difficulties and retreat?

Thinking of this, Pei Qian said to He Desheng: "You should call these investment companies immediately now and explain two things clearly. ”

"The first is to ask why they want to invest in the 'Xueba Come Soon' project."

"Second, explain all the current problems faced by 'Xueba', and explain the risks of this project in advance!"

The purpose of the first question is very simple, that is, I want to ask these people, what do you think is the reliability of the "Xueba, Come Soon" project, and I can't change it?

He Desheng was a little confused.

What does Mr. Pei mean by this?

Why do these investment companies invest in the "Xueba Come Soon" project? I must think this project is reliable!

This should be a problem for these investment companies to consider, they are investing money, we are taking money!

He Desheng pondered for a long time and said secretly: "Could it be that Pei always hopes that I can use this way to reverse the success of this project?" Deepen my understanding of how to invest? ”

"Well, that's the only plausible explanation."

"But why does Mr. Pei have to explain the risks of this project to all investors?"

Other people's projects are to fool the investment company as much as possible, reporting good news and not bad news, so that the other party can invest more money.

If you leak all the bottom yourself, can people still invest money?

He Desheng didn't understand too much, but when he saw Mr. Pei's unquestioning eyes, he didn't dare to ask more, but just dialed the phones of these investment companies one by one.

Pei Qian listened silently on the side.

He Desheng was very obedient, and completely according to Pei Qian's explanation in advance, first asked the other party's opinion on the project of "Xueba Come Soon", and then talked at length about the problems that the project is currently facing.

For example, the current active users are not able to support the market demand, the popularity and daily activity of the app have plummeted after the update, and the current functions are still relatively simple.

Sure enough, they came up and persuaded the two to quit!

Before investing, these investment companies have to go through some research, but no matter how much they invest, they can't get some internal data.

Some investment companies simply take a fancy to the education industry as an industry with good prospects, and see that this company has the background of Tengda and Fuhui Capital behind it, and feel that this is a more reliable project, so they consider chasing investment.

But now He Desheng has made it clear the real situation facing the project, especially the huge risks faced by the project, which may lose all its money.

As a result, some investment companies immediately retreated.

After making three phone calls in a row, the investment enthusiasm of the three investment companies on the opposite side was all extinguished, and they degenerated from the state of preparing to invest money at the beginning to the wait-and-see state.
