Chapter 236: Teasing
The Linmu Financial Holdings incident.
Because of the high profile of Linmu Studio in the gaming industry, it actually caused quite a stir.
Most of the current predicament and troubles of Linmu Financial Holdings have been dug out, and many players have also learned about it through reports.
Originally,
they were quite worried.
Linmu Studio would be dragged into the quagmire by Linmu Financial Holdings.
Then the games they play would be over.
This is why most players are paying close attention to this matter.
But now,
things have turned around.
According to insiders,
Linmu Financial Holdings does not have many shares in Linmu Studio. This studio is almost Lin Yao’s private property, and yesterday, Lin Yao went directly to Linmu Financial Holdings to deter the scoundrels...
What she said,
what happened,
the relevant details,
and the final result were all revealed by insiders.
The players were directly confused.
What the hell?
It wasn’t Linmu Financial Holdings that dragged Linmu Studio into the quagmire, but Linmu Studio was the financial sponsor?
It turns out that Lin Yao has this side?
Linmu Studio is so rich?
Game companies are going to reversely enter the real estate industry?
This is the first reaction of the players when they saw the news.
However, because they don't know whether this is true or not, most people still have a teasing attitude.
"I don't know why, but now that I see Lin Yao, I feel more excited..."
"Indeed, if it's true, it's getting more and more exciting, a rich lady, hehehe..."
"Fuck, Linmu Studio is so profitable? I'm still worried about Linmu Studio... No, I'm announcing now that I'm a member of Linmu Financial Holdings! I spent 300 yuan!"
"I spent 2,000 yuan! I want a separate room!"
"Two thousand yuan and you want a separate room? What if I spent more than 30,000 yuan?"
"Stupid."
"Fuck, get out..."
Of course.
In addition to the ridicule of the players, this news is even more shocking to Linmu Financial Holdings and Lin Yao's peers, as well as some venture capitalists.
They have more channels. They
also know more details.
They are not just teasing.
In addition to lamenting that online games are really profitable now, they also feel that... Linmu Studio is too confused.
Linmu Studio is thriving.
Another Linmu Financial Holdings is dying.
Why wade into this muddy water?
Wouldn't it be better to just make games?
Considering that Linmu Financial Holdings is the Lin family's industry, these people can barely understand Lin Yao's feelings.
But they still think that Lin Yao is too irrational.
Many eager venture capitalists immediately gave up the idea of investing in Linmu Studio and getting a share of the pie because of this.
They turned to other targets.
Because in their opinion, the helmsman of Linmu Studio is not rational enough, and now there is a rhythm of being dragged down by Linmu Financial Holdings.
The heart is cold.
And Lin Yao's colleagues, some of the larger ones, are smiling crookedly.
Facing the olive branches from various venture capitals.
On the one hand, they began to say that the small Linmu Studio is ridiculous.
On the other hand, they frantically accepted the olive branches from capital.
For a while.
The game industry was surging.
It felt a bit like the rise of a trend in Lin Yao's previous life, such as the shared bicycle and the food delivery software war.
Among them.
Because Linmu Studio is no longer favored by venture capital, Tianhu, the number one in China, has become the biggest winner.
Although Tianhu has an insurance sponsor behind it.
But since this financier was able to trade and sell the second development department, other matters could certainly be discussed.
The final result was that
Tianhu actually got a great bargain.
Although there were a few more major shareholders,
it also received a large amount of funds.
Tianhu suddenly had more money on hand.
In addition, because of the success of the Vaporwave game platform, the best-selling games of Gibber Company
stimulated Dreamland.
Dreamland, which was tricked by Gibber Company, directly cut off the source of funds.
Hawkins prepared for both hands. On the one hand, he was ready to launch the game on the Vaporwave game platform. After all, the market was indeed successful, so there was no need to make things difficult for him.
But on the other hand,
he also saw the domestic market and directly extended an olive branch to Tianhu to cooperate in operating the platform!
Tianhu is responsible for the domestic market, while Dreamland is responsible for overseas.
The games under Dreamland will be launched on multiple platforms!
Moreover, they must be launched on the Tianhu game platform first!
Are you playing tricks?
You have to wait for a month and a half, right?
Then I will directly launch the game on your opponent's platform first! Steal players from you.
If you are no longer capable, I will even replace you!
Faced with such a situation,
Li Guangsheng, the boss of Tianhu, was ecstatic.
He was just trying it out, but when he saw the collapse of Linmu Financial Holdings, he thought that Linmu Studio might be dragged into the quagmire, and he was jealous of their game platform. That’s why he gave a little more resources to the Tianhu game platform during the most turbulent period of public opinion.
And it was these few resources that, by some strange coincidence
, actually attracted Hawkins’ attention.
It’s really a bright future.
Li Guangsheng had given up competing with Linmu Studio’s game platform
because he really couldn’t beat them.
But now with the support of Dreamland, it’s not certain.
That’s a big company that’s as famous as Gibber! Gibber has some masterpieces, and they also have counterparts. Such a game is the first to be launched on the Tianhu game platform, which is a nuclear bomb!
"It’s really stupid."
Tianhu.
Li Guangsheng sat behind his desk and said to the person on the other end of the phone with a mocking look on his face: "Although it is a family business, why bother to get involved in real estate? It's simply stupid! Just wait and see, Mr. Hawkins of Dreamland agrees with me, and Linmu Studio will soon be dragged into the quagmire. And with the support of Dreamland, the Sky Fox Game Platform may directly replace it."
"...Think about it from another perspective, can you throw away your own family business? Besides, the news hasn't been announced yet, and the game hasn't been put on the Sky Fox Game Platform. Linmu Studio just said some time ago that it wanted to make a new game. Isn't it too arbitrary for you to make a conclusion now?"
Mou Feng was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, and then said: "In addition, are you too complacent? I know that Sky Fox has been favored by many venture capitals recently, but capital only sees cold returns... Don't be fooled by the prosperity now, in fact, there are daggers all over the back."
"Haha."
Li Guangsheng said with a smile: "Afeng, is your studio not favored? Are you jealous?"
Mou Feng was stunned, and then said: "Indeed not, but I don't need it. My savings are enough to develop the game. After all, it's not complicated."
"In fact, if necessary, Tianhu can also invest in your studio. It can be regarded as a favor to old classmates." Li Guangsheng seemed not to hear his words and spoke to himself.
Mou Feng was silent for a long time, and then said: "No need."
He hung up the phone.
He took the phone off his ear.
Mou Feng looked at the phone and shook his head gently.
It seemed that he was back again. The Li Guangsheng who insisted on accepting the capital injection from the insurance company, seemed to have become a different person, and finally broke up with him... is back again.
He had a lot of things to say to him.
He wanted to tell Li Guangsheng that for a game company, the most important thing is always the product. Although capital is good, it is not omnipotent.
It is not that a high investment can make a good game.
Another thing is Linmu Studio... It didn't start out with such a scale. He personally watched the studio rise at an incredible speed. He also questioned and suspected it, and even thought that the other party was an idiot, but the other party proved himself again and again. Will
such a company
really fall into the quagmire because of Linmu Financial Holdings?
But for some reason, after hearing what Li Guangsheng said, Mou Feng suddenly didn't want to say anything.
