Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 319: MiHoYo’s Major Shareholder

In the game team, there is a god-level player who can carry the team very well. He can easily team up with some newbies and lead a few new teammates to win a game. This behavior is called "carrying".

This phenomenon also occurs in the workplace. For most people, you are doing well in a company. Due to working together, you get to know a few colleagues or leaders who have a good relationship with you and have great technical skills. At a certain point, the other party chooses to start a business or change jobs, such as going to a large company to become a senior executive.
Then it is very likely that when one person succeeds, everyone around him will benefit and he will invite you to help him, because he needs a close team that knows him well in the new environment. As a result, the salary and environment will also move up a level, which is also because he is led by his teammates.

Of course, the benefits are proportional to the risks. For example, if the other party fails in starting a business or fails to gain a foothold if you are parachuted in, you will become cannon fodder.

Nowadays, there are always people emphasizing the theory that studying is useless and that class stratification exists. Such problems do exist objectively.

However, studying and taking the college entrance examination is still the best way for ordinary people to break through the class circle, and it is relatively fair.

The difference between a prestigious university and an ordinary university lies not only in the learning environment, but also in the access to better connections and resources.

For example, some of your roommates who live with you day and night are rich second-generations or geniuses, and there are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers among them.

Therefore, the environment that is truly capable of leading people to success is the university dormitory. If you start a business, you might even create a unicorn, and your roommates are basically co-founders. Class advancement and financial freedom are inevitable.

There are countless successful cases. Zhang Yiming and Liang Rubo of ByteDance were roommates when they were studying at Nankai University; Wang Xing and Wang Huiwen of Meituan were roommates at Tsinghua University; Zhang Xuhao and several roommates of Ele.me were roommates at Shanghai Jiaotong University.
Of course, the above are relatively typical and belong to the survivor bias. Most of them are middle-class people transforming from villagers to city dwellers, from city dwellers to provincial capitals, or settling in first-tier cities.

Even if your roommate is not Zhang Xuhao, Wang Xing, or Zhang Yiming, but some rich second-generation whose family owns a company or a factory, after graduation, if he gives you some resources that don't matter to him and gives you a hand out of friendship as a classmate, you will benefit greatly from it.

Students who can be admitted to 985 universities are basically in the top 5% of the class. If they are in Shandong, Jiangsu, Hebei, Henan and other provinces with large number of college entrance examination candidates, they have to be in the top 1.5% to have a chance. Therefore, everyone must have talent and hard work.

As long as you don't think too highly of yourself and aim too high every day, you will have a chance to be led by capable roommates.

Of course, this requires a firm heart that is determined to stick to the path to the end. If you are tempted, you will change your course and gain a lot in the short term, but if you extend the timeline, you will find out what you have lost.

Just like Jin Zhicheng from Shanghai Jiaotong University.
Originally according to Chen Mo's plan, Toutiao was launched. As the financial backer behind ByteDance, it was reasonable for him to go and check on the situation and offer condolences.

As a result, the Rolls-Royce under my butt did not go to Wudaokou, the center of the universe, but went directly to the Capital Terminal and headed for the Magic City.

All because of the WeChat message he received from Jin Zhicheng, "Mr. Chen, are you interested in miHoYo's shares?"

A few hours later, the two met as scheduled in a quiet cafe near the consulate in downtown Shanghai.

Although Chen Mo knew that this would happen, he was not sure about the details, so he asked the other party why he wanted to sell his shares.

After some understanding, Chen Mo knew the whole story and Jin Zhicheng's true thoughts.

At the end of last year, after MiHoYo had invested one million yuan in start-up capital, it first found an entrepreneurial incubation site on campus, and then recruited its first employee, Zhang Qinghua, who graduated from Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts. Subsequently, the few of them began to shamelessly develop games day and night.

(The small team of miHoYo in the early days of the business, from left to right, are Luo Yuhao, Cai Haoyu, Jin Zhicheng, Liu Wei, and employee No. 001 Zhang Qinghua)

When the first mobile game "Fly Me 2 the Moon" was developed and ready to be launched on the IOS platform, two opinions emerged within the team regarding the choice of charging model.

One is a buyout system, priced at 18 yuan, which was proposed by Cai Haoyu.

The other is the same charging model adopted by most mobile games on the market, especially the other side, that is, free plus in-app purchases, which is what Jin Zhicheng strongly insisted on.

In the end, the vote was overwhelming 3:1. Zhang Qinghua abstained from voting. The result was no surprise, and Jin Zhicheng became the 1.

Jin Zhicheng also saw the current situation of this team with Cai Haoyu as the core.

The result of "Fly Me 2 the Moon" was no surprise. The 18 yuan price discouraged many people. After one month on the shelves, the sales volume was only more than 3000 copies, which was far from enough for a game studio that was eager to get started.

Of course, "Fly Me 2 the Moon" also accumulated considerable experience for the team.

Continuing its efforts, miHoYo is currently developing a new mobile game.

MiHoYo's first game failed, which made Jin Zhicheng feel a little frustrated

While everyone continued to immerse themselves in entrepreneurship powered by love, Jin Zhicheng's mentality changed. He preferred the regular work and life rhythm of 9 am to 6 pm, and for this reason he sent several resumes to some foreign companies.

Some time ago, well-known foreign companies including IBM and Cisco sent him offers, with the lowest annual salary offered by IBM being 30.

This made him think about completely cutting ties with miHoYo.

"Why are you looking for me? Don't Cai Haoyu and the others accept you?"

Jin Zhicheng forced a smile and said, "I think the price Mr. Chen offers will be more fair!"

In fact, this was just his way of saving face. At the beginning, he had no intention of looking for Chen Mo, but wanted to digest the business internally. After all, they were roommates in the same dormitory. When he proposed to withdraw from miHoYo and wanted to sell his current shares to them, he was strongly persuaded to stay by the other three.

After some discussion, Cai Haoyu and the other two realized that Jin Zhicheng was determined to leave and it was obviously not an impulse decision, so they could only accept this result. It was not that they did not want to accept the offer, but that they simply did not have the money to pay.

Even though Jin Zhicheng only offered 2 yuan, he didn't want it.

For MiHoYo, which is now generating income through love and willing to break one dollar into eight pieces, it is true that a few poor boys don't have much money, and it is good enough that they can support themselves.

Even if it has money, miHoYo has achieved nothing now and its future is uncertain. The stocks it holds before achieving success are like the options it holds after leaving the company, all of which are like worthless pieces of paper.

At this time, Jin Zhicheng remembered what Chen Mo said before he parted ways with them after investing in miHoYo, "You guys, if you have any difficulties in the future, you can always come to me."

After adding the other party's WeChat, Jin Zhicheng quickly flipped through the WeChat address book and found that Chen Mo had not deleted him, so he quickly sent a message to the other party. Originally, it was just a last-ditch attempt. After all, how could the CEO of a group worth tens of billions care about a small share of an unknown miHoYo?

What surprised him was that he saw the real person in the cafe just a few hours later, which really surprised him.

"How many shares of miHoYo do you own?"

"11.3%"

Chen Mo leaned back slightly, leaning against the back of his chair, tapping the tabletop with his fingers rhythmically, "How much do you want to sell it for? Let me hear it!"

For his roommate, Jin Zhicheng could spend 2 yuan without hesitation, but for Chen Mo, he smelled a glimmer of opportunity from the other party's unusually efficient actions.

Therefore, he wanted to ask for a high price and make a fortune. After all, the other party should not be short of money.

Initially, the other party invested one million and held a 30% stake. According to the calculation at that time, every 1% was more than 3.

Then I have 11.3% in my hand, so why not pay it for 50.

But Jin Zhicheng thought again, after all, MiHoYo’s previous project had just failed, and the valuation would definitely be lower in the eyes of the other party.

This opportunity was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he was afraid that if he shouted too loudly he would scare the other party away.

After all, a boss worth tens of billions is definitely more shrewd than him.

After thinking about it, Jin Zhicheng's expression changed. Finally, he gritted his teeth and spit out a number.
"330 million!"

"You mean Young Master Duo?" The tone of voice suddenly rose at the end. Chen Mo's hand, which was originally tapping the table, suddenly slapped the table, and his body suddenly leaned forward, appearing extremely shocked.

He didn't know since when he stopped accepting projects worth less than 30 million yuan. Suddenly hearing the number 3 made Chen Mo feel like he had heard yuan.

This is 11.3% of miHoYo's shares, and they only sell it for 30? This guy is selling it too cheap?

It’s broken, it’s broken. I must have priced it too high. I should have known it would cost 10. Is it too late to change it now?

The same price, but two people have different mindsets.

Jin Zhicheng quickly swallowed his saliva, "Uh, how about.sh~~"

"make a deal!"

"Eh?"

Jin Zhicheng was just about to say that 10 would be fine, and he was even planning to sell it as long as the price was higher than 2, but he was stunned when he heard the other party's words.

What's going on? It's a deal already?
Next, the two shook hands and reached a verbal agreement, and then went to miHoYo to handle the formalities.

After finishing his work, Chen Mo finally had time to chat with Jin Zhicheng about family matters. "Are you planning to go to Cisco?"

"Ok!"

"How much did Cisco charge you?"

"37 million~"

"Are you only considering foreign companies? Will you consider Beyond Technology?"

Jin Zhicheng's eyes lit up. Could it be that Mr. Chen was planning to recruit him to train him? Wouldn't that mean he would be able to rise to prominence? He nodded quickly, then realized that he had been thinking too much.

"There are many positions on the Bi'an official website. You can choose the ones you are interested in and apply for them. I think since you have passed the interviews of IBM and Cisco, Bi'an should not be a problem for you. As for the salary, I can only say that how strong your ability is, Bi'an will give you a salary that matches it!"

Although it is not what Jin Zhicheng thought before, the reputation of Bi'an is indeed unique in China, so it is still a choice.

"Okay Mr. Chen, I'll consider it."

"Well, let's go, take me to visit miHoYo and sign the agreement."

The two then came to Mihoyo's entrepreneurial location, where Cai Haoyu and three other founders were also there. Chen Mo first confirmed the matter with the four people present, and only after confirming there were no problems did he sign the equity transfer agreement with Jin Zhicheng.

After finishing the job, Chen Mo called Jin Zhicheng's account and transferred the money in one go.

11.3%, 30.

This scene made Liu Wei and Luo Yuhao excited. They had more shares than Jin Zhicheng, and according to the current market conditions, they could sell them for at least 50.

Of course, being moved is just being moved, and it is still a long way from taking action.

After the transaction was completed, the shareholding ratios of Mihoyo shareholders became Chen Mo 41.30%, Cai Haoyu 31.70%, Liu Wei 14.34% and Luo Yuhao 12.66%.

On July 2012, 7, the major shareholder of miHoYo changed from Cai Haoyu to Chen Mo.
