Chapter 120: Promising?
Let’s not talk about how Tang Yao will be arranged for now.

the other side.

After Cai Quan returned to the website operation team's location, he talked about the acquisition with his staff.

Then, the whole team was excited and couldn't wait to move to the Avalon studio.

no way.

They are front-line operations members and are very aware of the current predicament of the website. They have also worked with Cai Quan for a period of time and are very familiar with Cai Quan's abilities. If it weren't for Tang Yao's acquisition, many of them would have planned to resign.

Because there is really no hope at all, and there is no future at all.

Now that it's been acquired by Avalon Studios, I can't quite say I'm leaning against a big tree for shade, but at least I don't have to worry about next month's pay just because I received this month's salary...

It’s okay to be a little hard at the beginning.

But the most frightening thing is not being able to see the future. As long as you can see the future, you can persevere no matter how hard it is.

Now the entire website has been sold to Avalon Studios. The members of the operation team here are all old 2D fans. They have all played FGO under Avalon Studios... and they all like it very much. They are also looking forward to this company creating miracles after acquiring the website.

In short.

That was how it was settled.

The entire team moved to the Science and Technology Trade Center where Avalon Studio is located and temporarily worked together with Avalon Studio.

Cai Quan also breathed a sigh of relief, and could finally work with Wen Fei to resolve the remaining equity issues.

……

Evolution Venture Capital Fund.

Manager's Office.

Lin Shuang signed a few documents, put down his pen, and excitedly contacted the two two-dimensional game teams to follow up on the status of the two key projects.

The success of Avalon Studios and her cousin have inspired her, and she has recently devoted more energy to those two projects.

Nothing else.

We just want to make the second 2D game as quickly as possible, and then make full use of the popularity brought by "Fate/Grand Order" and use a more professional team to take the biggest piece of the 2D game cake.

but.

She hadn't had time to get in touch.

There was a knock on the door first.

Lin Shuang raised her head and frowned, "Please come in."

soon.

An investment manager in a suit and tie walked in and said directly, "Sister Lin, I need your opinion on something."

Evolution Venture Capital is not actually a large venture capital fund, but only a small to medium-sized fund. The team size is not very large, so the senior partners of the fund need to personally participate in project screening, due diligence and post-investment management.

Lin Shuang is one of the senior partners of this fund, and she is deeply involved in every aspect of the project.

So she was not unfamiliar with this situation. She just looked at the investment manager in front of her and asked in confusion: "What?"

The investment manager explained briefly.

Lin Shuang listened quietly, then frowned and asked, "Buyback? Why would an LP (limited partner, investor) ask us to help manage their personally held shares?"

"Is such that."

The investment manager coughed and explained, "It's mainly because the website this LP invested in also happened to be one my team was optimistic about. I've completed due diligence and was about to submit the results and investment proposal to the investment committee for review. Since there's a connection, I signed an agreement to assist in management."

"Now the startup team over there wants to buy back the shares held by the LP?"

"Correct."

"So what did the LP say?"

"Whatever. He seems disappointed with this website, but..."

The investment manager hesitated and said, "I think this website is pretty good and has good prospects."

"..."

Lin Shuang remained silent. After a moment's contemplation, he said, "Show me the due diligence results and investment recommendations."

The investment manager nodded and handed the information in his hand to Lin Shuang.

Lin Shuang flipped through the materials quietly. After about half an hour, he put down the documents in his hand and rubbed his brow. "No wonder that LP was disappointed. A video website focused on the second dimension? The target market is so niche that it's difficult to achieve large-scale growth. Moreover, the website lacks a clear profit model. And you still want to go for it? Invest in such a company? Do you have any comparable cases to refer to?"

"No, but recently the second dimension..."

The investment manager was about to explain, but Lin Shuang interrupted him. "This has nothing to do with the Anime world. I've told you countless times that investing shouldn't be based on subjective judgment. I don't even know why you're doing due diligence on a website like this. What makes you so optimistic about it? Is it user growth? Technological advantages? Team capabilities? Are there any outstanding performance indicators?"

The investment manager was speechless.

"Forget it. There's no need to submit this project to the investment committee. It's completely pointless. Regarding the LP's individual equity holdings, let them handle it on their own. The agreement to assist in management should also be terminated to avoid legal and compliance risks."

Lin Shuang shook her head in disappointment. "If they really don't care and absolutely need our assistance, then you should contact the founding team and have them repurchase the shares. Complete the repurchase payment and equity transfer as quickly as possible. Keep it simple! This shouldn't have happened in the first place! I don't know what you were thinking!"

"Now is not the time to focus on these messy projects!"

"Two-dimensional games! Mobile games! Isn't there a project in these areas that you're interested in? Why are you wasting your time on this crappy website?"

"Video website? Use your brain! Is such a money-burning business suitable for us? Is it promising?!"

"..."

Lin Shuang started cursing.

The investment manager was sweating profusely and fled in panic.

until.

After walking out of the office.

The investment manager finally calmed down. He glanced at the due diligence and investment proposal in his hand, then looked back at the office, shook his head, and whispered, "Anime games, anime games... Who do you think pays for anime games? Isn't this video platform that focuses on anime content just right?"

to be frank.

He is actually quite optimistic about this website, especially after the two-dimensional games proved that core two-dimensional users have a strong willingness to pay.

but.

He had no say, so in the end he could only say a few words.

Things still have to be done.

……

Cai Quan's equity repurchase process was exceptionally smooth.

After all, his website had only gone through one round of investment, so the fund representative met with him quickly, and then finalized key terms such as the repurchase price, payment method, and time schedule, and signed the agreement.

ANF's operations team also moved to the Avalon studio, confirmed by the legal team arranged by Yuan Yanbo.

ANF ​​has officially changed hands.

Tang Yao became the owner of this video website.

The moment the agreement was signed.

Cai Quan breathed a sigh of relief and felt completely relaxed.

He looked at Tang Yao's pretty, harmless face and said slyly, "Please give me your guidance in the future... Boss!"

"Not anymore."

Tang Yao smiled and said, "There is something you need to do now."

"Ok?"

Cai Quan was stunned... Is this only the first day?

"There's no other way. Time is tight and the task is heavy."

Tang Yao explained with a smile, then picked up the business plan on the table. "First, I need you to add a comics section to the website. I'll arrange for a technician to contact you later. You know "Fate/Zero", right? It's the comic serialized on our game website. This comic will be simultaneously available on ANF for free. This will also be the first work in the comics section of the ANF website. At the same time, some short stories set in the FGO world view will be released later."

"Secondly, ANF needs to add a game section, and the first game is our "Fate/Grand Order". Although there is only this one game now, other two-dimensional games will definitely be introduced in the future, so you should be prepared."

"I believe you can see that... Well, my goal is to build the ANF website into a comprehensive two-dimensional platform that integrates comics, animation, and games."

"at last."

Tang Yao handed over the plan: "In order to welcome the launch of the new version of "Fate/Grand Order", I need you to cooperate with us to complete the entire publicity and promotion process to expand the exposure of the new version of FGO and build momentum for it."

"..."

Listening to Tang Yao's words which were full of information.

Cai Quan was confused.

what?
After a while, he finally recovered, reached out to take the plan handed to him by Tang Yao, and began to read it.

And when he saw this... his breathing became rapid, and then he suddenly looked up and looked at Tang Yao in surprise.

Tang Yao adopts a typical IP linkage and ecological integration strategy.

But this thing... Cai Quan felt that he would never be able to figure it out in his lifetime!
no! !
This website can be played like this! ?
