The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 104 Two-Ship Joint Formation
Appreciated by the boss, become CEO, marry Bai Fumei, and reach the pinnacle of life...

Well, Gu Jinguang still thinks too much.

——Wang Wei finally knew the young man's name.

But appreciation belongs to appreciation, and he couldn't rashly push a young man to a high-level position just because of his appreciation by chance.

Even if he looks like a genius!
Frankly speaking, Gu Jinguang can afford the evaluation of "wizard".

It is said that he has played all the video games on the market. During his university internship, Dreamland Company, the largest console game developer in China, offered him an annual salary of more than 20 yuan to hire him as a game planner.

However, after his internship, he rejected the generous treatment and turned to join the little-known Weibo Technology.

"I feel like I belong here." Gu Jinguang explained why he joined this fast-growing Internet social enterprise.

Well, there's nothing wrong with saying that.

After all, he has just joined the job and has not even settled on a formal position. With only one plan of "entering the game", he has attracted many people, including Wang Wei.

As a result, the company supported him in forming a game development team to implement a series of his ideas.

——Yes, after many rounds of discussions, entering the game has become the consensus of most people in Weibo Technology.

However, how to enter the game has become a point of contention.

Some people insist on self-research and go their own way;

Some people think that it can be acquired - like casual chess and card games, some small companies in the market are doing very well and can be directly acquired;

Of course, the "follow-up tactics" that Wang Wei is familiar with are not uncommon.

——The so-called "follow-up tactics", that is, after the opponent has made an idea, based on the idea itself, he will make a second creation, and finally make a replica that seems to be very close to the original work, but surpasses the original work itself in some details.Then, relying on comprehensive advantages in multiple dimensions such as operations, traffic, capital, and technology research and development, it will finally achieve a late-strike strike.

——The Antarctic creature in the other world, using this tactic is a tried and tested method.

It's just that in this time and space, "follow-up tactics" are not popular, at least, it is not the priority of Weibo technology.

Because the environment is different.

The protection of intellectual property rights in the current society is more stringent—of course it is impossible to completely avoid plagiarism, but compared with the past, the possible price of "follow-up tactics" is definitely not on the same level.

Therefore, during this discussion, Wang Weihe was completely different from when he was in Dunhuang. He never exercised the power of "one vote for" or "one vote against", and he seemed more like a compromiser.

The result of the final discussion is that the two lines go hand in hand.

Weibo Technology officially established the game department. On the one hand, it acquired some suitable small game companies, and on the other hand, it established a self-research team, and finally spoke with the results.

Gu Jinguang's game development team is just one of them.

Well, this actually made him feel at ease—if he were to be directly in charge of a department, he would definitely be upset, and that would be too unreliable.

Now this is very good, the company provides resources, everyone competes fairly, the capable go up and the weak go down.

He is confident that he will prevail in a fair competition.

——This confidence does not come out of thin air.

The development team has not yet been established, and the "hands-on work" he planned has been highly praised by Wang Wei.

It was a casual game plan for growing vegetables on a farm.

In the game, in addition to "sowing, watering, fertilizing, deworming, and harvesting" their own vegetable gardens, players can also help water and deworm their friends' vegetable gardens. Of course, "helping" is the essence of this game. For example, steal vegetables!
The simple interactive gameplay truly embodies the meaning of social games; the "lightweight" and "fragmented" design ideas can be described as advanced.

Even if the time and space are changed, the "DNA of growing vegetables" of Chinese people will not change. Wang Wei believes that this game will repeat the craze of "stealing vegetables" among the whole people.

Therefore, he paid more attention to Gu Jinguang.

And Gu Jinguang only has one word for Wang Wei who is younger than him!

——Not only because of Wang Wei's appreciation, but also because of the concept of "movie and game linkage" proposed by him.

To be honest, "The end of film and television is a game" proposed by Gu Jinguang himself is more of an imagination.

But Wang Wei's "movie game linkage" can be said to be an attempt to realize this imagination.

Gu Jinguang is naturally very interested in this.

Although this means very complicated work and many technical problems to be overcome, Gu Jinguang still gladly accepted the "homework" assigned by Wang Wei——

How to present and resonate across media of the same story; how to integrate the two arts of games and film and television from conception to production...

This is definitely not something that one or two casual games can carry, at least large-scale online games can play the value of "movie game linkage".

Taking advantage of the trend, Gu Jinguang started the planning of a large-scale online game!
However, regardless of whether it is mergers and acquisitions or self-development, it is still on paper, because Weibo Technology has no money...

Fortunately, this is only temporary.

……

For Wang Chuanqi, the trip to Weibo was a fresh experience.

He has no doubts about Wang Wei's long-term strategic planning ability.

However, whether a company can develop in the long run depends not only on strategy, but also on people.

A principle recognized by the investment circle is - "Investing is investing in people".

In his eyes, Weibo Technology is a group of extremely intelligent and high-spirited people.

They talk about all kinds of topics, they have all kinds of ideas - and unlike ordinary people who have good ideas but can't bring them to life, they are obviously determined, even fanatical, to bring their ideas to life .

This energy is very attractive!
After the game strategy is determined, the cooperation between the two seems to be more logical.

Although Lao Wang still has doubts about the fact that "the destination of film and television is games", this does not affect the joint formation of two ships.

——After several rounds of negotiations, Wang Chuanqi, on behalf of Dunhuang, formally reached an agreement with Weibo Technology, spending 2 million yuan to hold 18% of Weibo Technology's shares.

Among them, Wang Wei's shareholding in Weibo Technology was changed from the original 70% to 59%, paying 11 percentage points of equity for the new financing dilution.

The shareholding ratio of co-founder Jiang Lei has dropped from 20% to 13%, a drop of 7%.

The 10% option pool used for equity incentives remains unchanged. In this round of financing, Weibo Technology’s valuation reached 11 billion yuan in one fell swoop.

This round of financing has brought a large amount of funds to Weibo Technology, allowing the company to let go and develop a series of ideas, create more profit methods as it wants, and open up its own territory.

For Dunhuang, this is not just a ticket to take advantage of the Internet boom.
