With the willingness to invest, everything became easy. Several people sat down and discussed the matter while drinking tea.
"So your previous investor only invested 3 million in you?"
Qin Keyi, who had a baby face, said bitterly, "That's right. Three million is not a lot. Even if the boss put in all his savings over the years, it's still not enough. We have been eating instant noodles and steamed buns for many days in a row."
The family conditions of these students are relatively average, and more than half of their parents would rather they find a job as a programmer in a big company after graduation, rather than daydreaming about creating their own team to develop games, so they don't support them much.
Yan Shule nodded. The expressions of the three people in front of him did not seem very good.
She slammed the table and stood up angrily, "Come on, I'll take you to have a meal first."
Duan Nian wanted to refuse at first, but he couldn't resist the self-familiar Qin Keyi, who pulled him and blinked his big eyes expectantly, as if to say, "The child is hungry, let's go..."
Duan Nian stood up helplessly, "Thank you then."
Qin Keyi blinked happily again, looking forward to the big dinner in a while. It would be treated by the investor, so it should be in a big hotel.
However, Yan Shule passed by the hotel three times without entering, and took them through many twists and turns until they finally arrived at a small stir-fry restaurant next to an alley.
"The stir-fry here is particularly authentic." Yan Shule sat on the small stool outside the stir-fry restaurant very skillfully, and took three pairs of chopsticks from the table and handed them to others.
Qin Keyi took the chopsticks in a daze. It was completely different from what he had imagined.
Duan Nian and Dai Yue looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
Yan Shule did not care about their reactions, as it would smell delicious soon anyway. She looked around with great interest. This shop was found by her and Xue Yang while walking around the streets to save money when she stayed in a hotel last time. The price was not high but the taste was very good. It was said that this shop had been opened by the boss's grandfather. Over the years, the family had been diligently guarding the shop and it had not expanded for decades. Several dishes were their own secret recipes and could not be found anywhere else.
Yan Shule had thought about investing in a specialty chain store before, but was rejected by the boss. And judging from his expression, Yan Shule was probably not the first person to say he wanted to invest in them. The boss said calmly that the rules set by his grandfather were that as long as he had an acre of land to do business and his family had enough food and clothing, he should be safe and sound. He was not allowed to have any bad thoughts, and having a lot of money was not necessarily a good thing.
Although Yan Shule loves money very much, he also respects other people's value of being content with what they have in life, which shows that these people are spiritually satisfied. Yan Shule sometimes thinks that if he were not an orphan and had not grown up in an orphanage with an insecure sense, he might just earn a little money to spend, and raise some cats and dogs, and live a simple and contented life.
But she just thought about it. For Yan Shule, money was the only thing that could give her a sense of security, the more the better.
When the boss placed the dishes on the table one by one, Qin Keyi, who had a skeptical look on his face just now, could no longer see the food on his face.
Even Duan Nian and Dai Yue, who had been polite and well-mannered just now, were eating very attentively, but their manners were much better than that of the foodie Qin Keyi.
After eating and drinking, the four people moved to another place to continue discussing their recent collaboration.
It was finally agreed that Yan Shule, as the sole investor, would invest a total of 30 million in three installments, would not interfere in the team's work, and would hold 78% of the shares. Duan Nian, as the team leader, would hold 10%, and the remaining 12% would be equally divided among the other six people who had originally followed Duan Nian to create the team.
However, this is only the share of the profit from this game. In fact, Yan Shule wants to invest more in their future company.
Because after she really decided to invest, the red light on the three people in front of her became more and more dazzling visibly to the naked eye.
Yan Shule is sure that their achievements are not limited to this.
She also learned from the casual conversation just now that Duan Nian was preparing the materials and planned to apply for registration in a while. He even thought of a name for the company, which was Chumeng Technology.
However, this is something that needs to be discussed in detail later.
"That means Yueyue and I also have a 2% stake?" Qin Keyi asked excitedly. After getting a positive answer, he cheered happily.
A smile also appeared on Dai Yue's gentle face. She glanced at Duan Nian, who had changed from his previous decadent state, and felt happier than knowing that she had shares.
Great, there is finally hope.
Although a total of 30 million yuan was invested in three installments, Yan Shule had no intention of really dividing it into three equal installments of 10 million yuan. After all, the previous investors requested to withdraw their investment and were waiting for Duan Nian to pay back the money. Only by completely repaying the previous investment could they truly sever their ties.
There are also their housing and offices. I just heard from Qin Keyi that because most of the money was spent on equipment, their team of seven people all live in a rented house. Because there are two girls, it is very inconvenient on weekdays. Moreover, they can't afford to rent an office building. Even the office is in a rented house, and they often receive complaints because of working overtime late at night.
This time, Yan Shule invested a lot more money, which will also allow them to improve their living and working environment.
Yan Shule still had more than 26 million in his account at the moment, and he directly transferred 15 million to them, which was enough to cover their expenses for a long time.
The three of them went back happily with their bank cards, and they did not forget to bring some food back for the other friends who stayed at home.
Yan Shule also returned to his home.
She had to find a way to make some more money.
On the way back, Duan Nian suddenly received a call from an unfamiliar number.
"I'm sorry, we already have investors and have signed contracts, so we don't need it at the moment." Duan Nian's words attracted the attention of Qin Keyi and Dai Yue next to him.
"Brother Nian, what do you mean? Is there anyone who wants to invest in our game again?" Qin Keyi asked impatiently after Duan Nian hung up the phone.
Duan Nian nodded, "Not only that, he also wants to help us set up a company and inject capital into our company."
"Then why did you refuse?" Qin Keyi wondered.
"Now is not the right time. We are still not fully grown. We accepted Sister Yan's investment because we are in urgent need of funds and have no other choice. Sister Yan also promised not to interfere in our project. Now we have enough funds, so why should we accept other investments? Those big companies will not be as easy to talk to as Sister Yan. We cannot beat them, and we will not know if we will be cheated." Duan Nian was very clear-headed.
"Besides, we promised to keep Sister Yan's identity a secret and not disclose the identity of her investor. If a third party intervenes at this time, it will be difficult to say."
After hearing Duan Nian's analysis, Qin Keyi no longer felt it was a pity. Dai Yue also nodded. She was just an artist and just needed to do her job well. She believed that Duan Nian would be able to handle the rest.
At this time, on the top floor of an office building somewhere in Beijing, an assistant knocked on the door and entered the chairman's office. "Mr. Qiao, the other party rejected our investment and said they have found an investor."
Qiao Shen nodded nonchalantly. He had learned about this young team and their predicament by chance. In his opinion, the game developed by this team had a good future. However, for Qiao's company, it was just icing on the cake. Since other people had invested, he let it go.
Qiao itself also has its own technology company and development team, and has developed and operated many popular games over the years.
The assistant was about to leave when he saw that he had no other instructions.
"Wait a minute." Qiao Shen suddenly said, "Go check which company is the one that injected the capital?"
"Yes." The assistant responded, turned around, closed the door and went out.
