Mo Li took out her phone and dialed the contact number provided by the system.

"beep……"

The call was quickly answered, and a mature and composed female voice came from the other end.

Mo Li's pupils contracted; it really was... even the voice sounded alike!

"Hello? Who is it?"

Mo Li quickly regained her composure, paused for a second, and then got straight to the point: "I heard that your studio needs investment?"

Upon hearing this, Youlan Su paused slightly, her hand still slightly clapping as she was about to hang up the phone.

She was surprised that someone was actually willing to invest in her run-down studio.

"Hello sir, may I ask who you are...?"

"My name is Mo Li, and I'm a game enthusiast. I've recently been thinking about making a game, but I'm short-handed."

"I stumbled upon your studio's information, and I tried out your game 'Saving the Girl.' Although the gameplay wasn't great, it's clear your team put a lot of effort into it."

Mo Li's words, which neither belittled nor specifically praised their studio, improved Youlan's impression of him somewhat.

She was well aware that the games produced by her studio were indeed far from ideal.

But this was indeed made with great care by the ladies in the studio.

Unfortunately, the results were so poor that attracting investment was almost impossible.

As a result, the studio may go bankrupt soon, and the game "Saving Girls," which they poured all their efforts into, will cease operation.

This is something none of them wanted to see.

Now that someone has finally shown interest in investing, she is still somewhat hopeful.

However, whether or not to accept investment still needs to be discussed in person.

"If you have time, sir, we can arrange a place to discuss this in detail."

Mo Li naturally wouldn't refuse: "I'm free right now. You choose the place, and I'll be there immediately."

"Then, let's go to the Destiny Cafe on Xihuan Road."

……

After hanging up the phone, Mo Li drove directly to her destination.

He found it strange; the coffee shop was clearly located near the miHoYo studio, so why didn't they just send him to the studio?

However, Mo Li was only curious and did not delve into it further.

There was a reason why he initially said "investment" instead of "acquisition".

First, in the system introduction, "miHoYo" did not say that it was selling the "miHoYo" studio, but only that it was investing.

Therefore, in order to meet the other party, Mo Li decided to first meet with them under the guise of investment.

Since the system said there was a chance to acquire it, Mo Li naturally planned to give it a try.

Furthermore, regarding whether to acquire it, Mo Li believes it's best to conduct further investigation.

While the orchid is indeed very beautiful, that's no reason to be a sucker, is it?

……

Soon, Mo Li drove to the destined coffee shop.

"The name is quite nice; it seems like a preordained destiny."

The coffee shop's ambiance, coupled with soft music, creates an elegant and tranquil atmosphere.

Mo Li took out his phone and dialed the number again: "Miss Youlan, I've arrived."

I see you.

Mo Li turned his head and looked around. He quickly spotted a beautiful woman dressed in office attire, with a slender and tall figure, waving at him.

"Even his figure is so similar to Durandal's!" Mo Li was extremely surprised.

Walking over with light, gentle steps, Mo Li smiled and said, "Hello, let me introduce myself again, my name is Mo Li."

Just call me Youlan.

Youlan also slowly stood up and gave her a polite smile.

Would you like something to drink?

"Whatever you like is fine."

After dismissing the waiter, Mo Li got straight to the point.

"Miss Youlan, let's get straight to the point."

"Let me ask you a question first: what do you think your studio has that would attract me to invest?"

Youlan opened her mouth, staring intently at Mo Li's young and handsome face, unsure how to answer.

What's going on? Didn't you already have investment ideas? Why are you making things difficult for me...?

"Our studio is made up of people who are truly passionate about games. If Mr. Mo Li is only in it for the money... then I can't guarantee that you'll break even."

Upon hearing this, Mo Li was both amused and exasperated: "What an honest man..."

"I understand... The reason I came to see you is because I saw your studio's attitude towards games."

"As for making money and pursuing hobbies... I don't think it's impossible to have both."

After a pause, Mo Li's smile faded, and he said seriously, "I have a fantastic game idea. If we develop it diligently, the return on investment will be at least tenfold."

Mo Li was downplaying the situation.

After all, Honkai Impact 3rd isn't a buy-to-play game. As long as the game is updated and new characters are released, the game's revenue will continue to grow.

"However, I can't develop a game by myself, and I don't want to spend so much energy setting up my own studio."

Hearing this, Youlan frowned slightly: "You mean... you want to invest in our studio to make this game?"

Mo Li: "..."

Young lady, it's one thing to be honest, but now you seem so naive...

"Ahem... Miss Youlan, this joke has gone too far..."

"I provide the funding and the creative ideas, and then the results go to your studio... Do you think that's possible?"

Youlan realized she had made a foolish mistake, and her face flushed slightly with embarrassment.

What I mean is... I want to buy your studio!

"Huh?" Youlan was stunned. The topic had changed so quickly that she didn't react in time.

"Didn't you say... you wanted to invest?"

How could Mo Li possibly be thinking about investing? What she said before was just that she wanted to talk to the founder of "MiHoYo" in person.

Mo Li, without batting an eye, replied, "I do have the idea of ​​investing, but after careful consideration, I think a direct acquisition would be better than an investment."

Youlan: "..."

She shook her head with some disappointment: "I'm sorry, Mr. Mo Li, I have no intention of selling the studio. Although I am the founder, it was built by me and the other employees in the studio."

"Even if I agreed, the rest of the studio wouldn't."

Mo Li nodded: "I understand, but... can I talk to the others in the studio? After all, you should be well aware of the current predicament your studio is in... it's probably impossible to attract investment."

"Even if those employees work for you for free, will your studio still have the money to develop other games?"

"We're both passionate about games, so why don't we collaborate and create a game that the whole world will love and buy into?"

Chapter 3 miHoYo Studio: Surprisingly, it's all acquaintances?!

Mo Li's words stirred something within Youlan.

Actually, this group of people came together because they wanted to develop a game that the whole world would love.

Their goal is to create a high-quality product that can both make money and gain a good reputation.

But... there are very, very few products on the market that can achieve this goal.

For small workshops like theirs, achieving their goals is extremely difficult.

Even the game they developed, "Saving Girls," was produced with her own money.

Moreover, Mo Li did indeed hit her sore spot: miHoYo's employees are truly working out of love, without asking for wages...

Although it was all voluntary, Youlan didn't want things to continue like this.

After all, they all have their own lives to live. What will they do without income?

After thinking it through, Youlan nodded seriously and said, "Mr. Mo Li, please wait a moment while I make a phone call."
