Chapter 585 You guys are investing in this too!?
At the same time that Youmei announced the new mobile phone shipments,
Youmei's financing plan also came to an end.
The performance of Future offline stores
became the last straw that broke the camel's back for investment institutions.
The moment they saw the performance,
no investment institution was willing to bargain again. And soon, Lin Yao also learned about
this news . She has a lot of things to do recently. The offline store opened, "Dark Soul 2" was released, many mobile games were launched intensively, and Tianhu entered the market. Lin Yao also has mobile game work on hand. She also has to consider the development plans of the next two product departments. She is really busy and dizzy. She has not stopped at all. Just when she took a breath, news came from the financing side again... "That's it." Lin Yao took the time to take a quick look at the details of the financing negotiations and did not express too much opinion. In fact, if it was just money, Linmu Studio is fully capable of supporting the expansion of Future S1. Even Future S1 itself can barely hold on, after all, each Future S1 brings a lot of revenue. It will just be slow and easy to miss opportunities. So this time, Lin Yao's main purpose for financing was not money, but to expand the market. As long as the control is still in the hands of Linmu Studio, everything else can be discussed. "I understand, I will reply to Mr. Zhang later." After hearing the exact reply, Mu Wanqing put away the record of the financing negotiation, held it in her arms, and then said: "Also, have you seen the data of Tianhu's mobile games?" "I have seen it, it's pretty good." Lin Yao nodded. She was actually quite surprised. This time, Tianhu, a competitor, was so fast. And it directly jumped out of the shackles of Linmu Studio's six mobile games and chose the turn-based system to break through. This has to be said to be a very smart move. The turn-based system is indeed the most suitable traditional game to be ported to the mobile terminal. This type of mobile game will not be bad in the end. No matter how the times change, there are always some classic game types that will not become outdated. Although they may not be popular again, there are still people playing them. And the turn-based system is such a classic game type. Although "Tianhu Travel Notes" was beaten by "Fantasy OL" on the terminal game, there are still many players who like this type. Tianhu can be said to have seized the opportunity this time. These days. Their mobile game download list has already rushed to the top two, and the revenue is also very beautiful. Mu Wanqing hesitated for a moment and asked: "Kang Yi wants to ask you, should we speed up? Launch the beta version of "Fantasy OL" as soon as possible?" "... No need, instead of launching a semi-finished product, it is better to use this time to polish it." Lin Yao thought about it, shook her head gently, and smiled: "Our turn-based mobile game and Tianhu's turn-based mobile game are two different things. I plan to announce it at the new product launch conference at the end of the year, together with other mobile games, and then it will be launched with tablets. There is no need to rush." Yes. Linmu Studio also has a turn-based mobile game plan. The project was established earlier than Tianhu. However, the turn-based mobile game inside Linmu Studio is different from Tianhu's turn-based mobile game. Tianhu's is a remake and has nothing to do with the terminal game. Linmu Studio is making an extended version of the terminal game. Simply put, the data is shared. The data on the mobile phone is synchronized with the terminal game. Players can complete daily tasks on their mobile phones and then go to the computer to participate in large activities such as competitions. Mobile games are equivalent to supplements to PC games. As for why this is done. Mainly because. Linmu Studio's "Fantasy OL" and "Tianhu Travels" are fundamentally different. "Tianhu Travels" is a PC game that costs a lot of money, and has a serious loss of players. There are also many things that can be changed. Making a brand new mobile game is what everyone expects. But the situation of "Fantasy OL" is not so bad. There are currently a lot of remaining players, but there are very few things that can be changed. Even if Linmu Studio makes another mobile game, it will be another mobile game with serious homogeneity, which will also hurt the players of the PC game. So Lin Yao didn't plan to make a brand new mobile game from the beginning. The routes of the two companies are essentially different. Of course, the problems encountered during the research and development process are also different. "I understand, I will explain it to Kang Yi." Mu Wanqing nodded slightly when she heard what Lin Yao said. "In fact, Future Store is a platform just like Vaporwave. We can't make it flourish by ourselves. We still need the efforts of third-party developers." Lin Yao explained with a smile: "So when we act as contestants, we should compete fairly. There is no need to rush to be the first or the last. The reason why our Linmu Studio can come to the fore is not because of speed, but because of quality." "I will explain it clearly to Kang Yi." Mu Wanqing said gently: "He has been working here for a short time, so it is normal for him to be anxious." "Well..."
Lin Yao responded, then picked up two documents on the table: "In addition, please have someone contact these two projects and try to meet the other party's funding requirements. If the other party is interested, you can also arrange for me to meet the two founders.
If there is a follow-up improvement, Linmu Investment can also transform from an incubator to an investor."
She handed two project documents of Linmu Investment Incubator Plan to Mu Wanqing.
Mu Wanqing was a little curious, put down the documents in her arms, took them, and then flipped through them.
"Restaurant takeaway integration software? B2C online mall with products as the main object?"
"Yeah."
Lin Yao nodded, then smiled brightly: "Don't you think it's cool? On the one hand, you can order food directly with your mobile phone, and on the other hand, it is a retail model that sells products and services directly to consumers."
"It's really interesting..."
Mu Wanqing thought about it, nodded slightly, and then said: "But the former is okay, but the latter has considerable resistance, and it is also difficult to emerge."
Online e-commerce.
It is not a rare thing at present.
However, most of the current e-commerce are C2C, that is, they only provide platforms for product sales and are not responsible for the products.
"That depends on the ideas of these founders. We will provide necessary help on their way to growth."
Lin Yao gently spread her hands: "But in business, they will eventually have to rely on themselves to make it. If it all depends on us, then we will do it ourselves...if we have so much energy."
"I understand."
Mu Wanqing put away the two documents: "I will pay special attention to it."
The project that Lin Yao paid special attention to.
It really needs her special attention.
"Okay, then you get busy." Lin Yao picked up the pen again.
"Well."
Mu Wanqing put away all the documents, turned around and was about to leave, but halfway through, she suddenly thought of something, paused and turned back.
"Don't be too tired, remember to drink water."
"Hmm..."
Lin Yao just picked up the water cup and drank it.
Mu Wanqing smiled, then stepped on her high heels and left Lin Yao's office briskly.
Lin Yao watched Mu Wan leave, put down the cup, then gently pursed her bright red lips, straightened her waist, and tied her ponytail again.
Then, after tidying up her ponytail, she shook it gently and continued to work.
She hadn't finished writing the plan yet. It wasn't
just the card-drawing mobile game.
There were also the next development plans for the other two product departments.
Tianhu's turn-based mobile game officially jumped out of the shackles of the six mobile games of Linmu Studio.
It was already a very obvious signal.
The emergence of Future S1 and the existence of Linmu Studio did accelerate the development of mobile games.
So Lin Yao estimated that after this batch of games were released.
Next, she would soon enter an era where she had no reference objects...
"A new era..."
Lin Yao glanced at the date on the screen, then gently turned the pen in her hand and wrote the words "card-drawing mobile game" on the paper.
Then she thought about it, added MOBA, and wrote the words "console" and "Super Smash Bros." at the end.
The Super Smash Bros. game can indeed be launched, although the copyright issue is still very troublesome.
But if Future S1 and Future Store develop as expected, there is still a good chance to solve the copyright issue.
In any case, you have to establish the project first. If it always exists in your mind, it will never be done.
After the project is established, we can slowly find a solution.
If it doesn't work, we can extend the time.
As for the PC side...
Lin Yao hasn't thought about it yet.
But don't rush.
The current workload is already exaggerated...
Lin Yao glanced at the paper in front of her, smiled, then cheered up, pulled over the keyboard, and began to continue typing the plan, and soon immersed herself in it.
Time passed quickly.
Soon.
The sunlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling window and hit Lin Yao's side face... The fine hair on her face was illuminated by the sunlight, and the outline was plated with a circle of gold.
At this moment, she even had a sense of sacredness.
Quiet and beautiful...
...
Linmu Studio is very good inside.
But outside, it is not as "peaceful" as Lin Yao's office.
Future S1 offline stores have greatly boosted mobile phone sales.
Even the group of developers who insist on Future S1 have benefited greatly.
Jiaming Alliance was forced to control developers.
And the group of controlled developers wanted to return to Future S1.
But.
Future S1 is stricter than Jiaming Alliance!
Not only is the platform strict, but users are also extremely strict about the applications on this phone.
Fishing in troubled waters will not work.
This puts the developers who rolled back from Jiaming Alliance in a passive position.
They saw that this week, Tianhu was in the limelight because of mobile games, and its reputation in the stock market and among the player community has greatly improved.
They really dare not put the mobile games from Jiaming Alliance directly on Future S1.
They can only wait and see, and just hang around in the Jiaming Alliance.
As for Future S1... just make mobile games for them again.
After all, who doesn't want to be well-received and popular if there's a chance?
But...
this confirms the impression that Jiaming Alliance is low-end.
Jiaming Alliance is almost pissed off.
They are both mobile phones, and the mobile games on Future S1 are all high-quality, but here on Jiaming Alliance, there are a mixture of good and bad, and all kinds of crooked melons and jujubes!
This is not a problem of regulation at all.
It's that the developers have different attitudes towards the two platforms!
Users didn't notice this, but they did.
At this moment, they finally realized the significance of Future Store and the cost of letting developers go.
They really regretted it!
But there is no regret medicine in the world.
There is no other way.
Jiaming Alliance can only contact Tianhu and other companies that are currently making good mobile games on Future Store.
There is only one request.
Let their games also land on the Jiaming Alliance platform...
This is also the only way out.
Let the existing mobile games on Future Store also land on Jiaming Alliance, so that they can also have them on their side.
Then they can plan slowly...
To be honest.
Many developers are quite excited about this.
Because Linmu Studio does not restrict multi-platform login.
In addition, Jiaming Alliance has been saying that there are more users using its own mobile phones and they are more willing to pay. One more platform means more money.
This is indeed true.
Although this group of developers are confident in Future S1, Future S1 has only shipped tens of millions of units at most.
No matter how fast Future S1 grows in the future, it will take a process.
So soon.
Many mobile game developers agreed to let their mobile games log on to Jiaming Alliance's mobile phones.
However.
Tianhu Entertainment, which is the most wanted by several leaders of Jiaming Alliance, has not been relented.
Mou Feng has been delaying again and again, and the meaning behind his words is that he will wait until the Jiaming Alliance's app store is online.
Now is not a good time.
Of course.
There are still many people in Tianhu who don't think so.
On the same day. At
the Tianhu.
Temporary meeting.
The controversy appeared again.
"Brother Mou Feng, I know you are optimistic about Future S1, but you also know that Jiaming Alliance's market share is still far ahead! These are all users! All money!"
The senior executives who had been opposed to making mobile games at the beginning looked at Mou Feng who was unmoved and tried to persuade him: "It's just porting and adapting to more mobile phones. It doesn't cost much, right? Agree."
Perhaps because the recent performance of mobile games is too dazzling.
The other party did not dare to speak too loudly.
Instead, he looked kind.
Although it was controversial, there was not much gunpowder.
"But this will distract us!"
Seeing the other party like this, Mou Feng did not speak too aggressively, but explained: "Future S1 is currently in a period of rapid growth. We must focus all our attention on it and use this window period to make it thoroughly successful! Especially word of mouth!
If Jiaming Alliance has an app store, I don't mind logging in to both brands, but their app store is not online yet!
This adaptation is not only a problem, but the experience of multiple different models of mobile phones will also be very different, which will simply increase pressure and make users doubt our mobile games.
In this case, it is better to get one platform done first!"
"How fast can Future S1's rapid growth be?"
The senior executive was a little anxious: "Jiaming Alliance currently conservatively estimates that there are at least 200 million users, right? 200 million!"
Mou Feng was about to reply, but his phone suddenly vibrated.
He stopped talking and picked up his phone to read it.
"According to the current download volume and the proportion of paying users of our mobile games on Future S1, among the three million download users, about 20% of the users are willing to pay. Can you imagine how many paying users will be added if the mobile games are launched on Jiaming Alliance?"
The senior executive continued: "You can always do the math, right?"
"Hiss..."
Mou Feng suddenly took a breath of extremely exaggerated cold air.
"Really?"
The senior executive saw that there seemed to be a chance and was instantly happy.
"No."
But Mou Feng raised his head and replied directly: "Jiaming Alliance's market share is indeed high, I don't deny it, but many of them are users who don't play mobile games, and there are not many users of touch-screen phones, and each mobile phone is very different. If we plunge into it and want to achieve the same results as on Future S1, that's a dream!
The two brands are not the same thing at all!"
"Then you just..." The smile on the senior executive's face froze.
"Take a look at this, and you will understand why I insist on deepening my cultivation of Future S1 first, and why I say they are in a period of rapid development."
Mou Feng said while sliding his Future S1 over.
The senior executive took the phone, then frowned and looked down.
Then.
The next second.
"Hiss..."
He gasped even more exaggeratedly than Mou Feng...
and his face was shaking.
Soon.
The meeting was over.
No one objected to Mou Feng's decision.
And after walking out of the meeting room.
Not long after.
Mou Feng's phone rang again.
He glanced at the caller and picked up the phone.
"Haha, brother Mou Feng, how have you thought about it?" The voice of Yu Tianbo, the helmsman of Tianyu Mobile, came.
Mou Feng politely replied: "Our mobile games will definitely be available on Jiaming Alliance phones. Please rest assured, Mr. Yu, we are working hard, but you have to know... our mobile game business has just started, and it is not that fast."
"Don't tease me, tell me the truth, are you unwilling?"
Yu Tianbo smiled bitterly: "Our app store is indeed in preparation, and it will be soon... Jiaming Alliance really has a great advantage over Future S1. Believe me, the market share is there. Future S1 is developing fast, but how fast can it be? You might as well think about it again. We really welcome you and need you!"
"I understand, I will do my best to transplant it as soon as possible. This is my promise."
Mou Feng lied with his eyes open: "But Mr. Yu, I still suggest that you speed up the launch of your own app store..."
Yu Tianbo sighed when he heard this.
Mou Feng paused and reminded: "In addition... Mr. Yu, you didn't read the news, right? I suggest you read the news, especially the news about Future S1, and be mentally prepared."
"Huh?"
Yu Tianbo frowned immediately.
But he didn't react yet.
Mou Feng changed the subject, exchanged a few pleasantries, and hung up the phone.
Tianyu.
Yu Tianbo put down his phone, then took a look, somewhat suspicious.
He thought about it, then turned on the computer, then opened the search engine, and typed in Future S1.
The search results.
They popped up quickly.
The first piece of news was only released half an hour ago.
It was followed by the word "hot", and the title was -
[Future S1 manufacturer Youmei Technology has completed financing! The A round of financing is nearly 6 billion, which is the largest first round of financing in the domestic mobile phone industry! ]
Yu Tianbo saw this title.
The whole person... was instantly hit hard!
After a long time.
He trembled with his hands, clicked on the news, and read the text.
[Future S1 manufacturer Youmei Technology's A round of financing has been signed and delivered. There are 7 investors in total, led by Chenxi Capital and Junri Capital, and followed by Dongsheng, DG, Leizhu and Pengcheng's local Peng Venture Capital. 】
【After this round of financing, Linmu Studio's shareholding ratio dropped to 84.63%, while investors in round A held a total of 15.37%. In this round of financing, Youmei Technology's valuation exceeded 40 billion yuan! 】
【According to Zhang Youjie, head of Youmei Technology, the reason for Youmei's financing this time is mainly to achieve complementary advantages with investors and further promote the rapid development of Youmei's business.
It is reported that the opening of the second batch of Future S1 offline stores will be put on the agenda.
And next, Youmei will actively expand overseas markets and develop new products...】
The main text of the news is not long.
It may be about a thousand words in total.
It can be read quickly.
But Yu Tianbo couldn't finish it.
When he saw the words 6 billion, 40 billion, actively expand overseas markets, and develop new products.
He was completely stunned.
How fast can Future S1 develop? He could give an answer before.
But now, he can't give an answer.
This is... too outrageous! ! ! !
Round A, valuation of over 40 billion! ?
Are the investors crazy! ?
Or am I crazy?!
At the same time,
ordinary users also saw this news.
This is really... a thunderbolt in silence!
Most people were shocked.
How long has it been!
How long has it been since the phone was released?
The financing has been completed?
And such an exaggerated number!
Even in the game forum, players have started to discuss this matter.
"Fuck! How much money did Lin Yao make it to the rich list last year?"
"39.1 billion..."
"Then according to the current shareholding ratio of Linmu Studio, how much is Youmei worth? How much is Lin Yao's net worth now?"
"I don't know... I can't calculate it. Anyway, Youmei feels like it can be on last year's rich list..."
"Hiss hiss hiss... Rich woman! Rich woman Lin! I want to hug your thighs!"
"No more words! Lin Yao! I want to marry you! I want to marry you! I want to be the son-in-law of the Lin family! I want to lick your big white long legs!"
"The upstairs is so disgusting..."
"..."
The players were all shocked by the number.
Not to mention other stakeholders, they were almost scared to death...
Many developers who had just agreed to Jiaming Alliance to port their mobile games to Jiaming Alliance phones woke up instantly after seeing this news.
This amount of financing, to some extent, represents the trust of investment institutions.
And Youmei also announced that it would expand overseas markets...
Think about the performance of Linmu Studio's previous products in overseas markets.
No!
No! ! !
What the hell is Jiaming Alliance!
That's just a small profit! If you have this time, instead of rolling around in Jiaming Alliance! It's better to continue developing mobile games for Future S1! Seize the opportunity! Make money from all over the world!
Yes!
Many developers made up their minds on the spot.
Soon.
Bad news began to spread to Jiaming Alliance frequently...
All Jiaming Alliance members in China were numb.
No one expected
that such a shocking news would be revealed on such an ordinary day.
And when more financing details were disclosed, especially the dual-class shares were disclosed.
People in the industry really felt that... this world was crazy!
Six billion!
But they could only get a pitiful amount of voting rights!
You guys are investing in this too!?
Are you sick?
Anyway.
This news, like a hurricane, began to spread outward, sweeping everyone!
Soon.
Many overseas Jiaming Alliance members also heard the news.
They originally thought it had nothing to do with them, but suddenly they were facing a great enemy.
At this moment, everyone was waiting to see how Linmu Studio would expand the overseas market after the financing was completed...
But.
Unexpectedly.
Linmu Studio did not take many actions after the financing was completed.
Instead of mentioning mobile phones, it promoted... games on Switch.
