Chapter 509 Be a good boss who doesn't give up on employees
Capital has always had a very keen sense of smell, and the sudden popularity of the "red line" apps, of course, soon came into their sight.
After a while of analysis and seeing the prospects of this software, they all came over like cats smelling fishy smell, crying and shouting that they would invest in Luofeng Virtual Reality Service Co., Ltd.
Yi Feng certainly agreed with investment. After all, his pocket money is only a little bit. If the company wants to expand rapidly and promote the product completely, that little money is still not enough.
In addition, the unspoken rule of running a company is that multiple partners have multiple ways to achieve the best, but fewer help if they lose the best. It is important to have a single share of the same amount, and everyone can make money, so he decided to first take out 25% of the original shares to carry out a round of financing.
However, after a week of talk, the specific matters of this round of financing have not been decided. The reason is very simple. It is not that the business representatives of the investment companies do not work hard, but that Yi Feng is not satisfied with the current price, so he has been reluctant to give in.
Currently, various investment institutions have valuations of Luofeng Virtual Reality Service Company at around 300 million Huayuan, with a 25% stake, which is only 75 million to 80 million.
This valuation is of course enough for ordinary startups. For some startups, it is a good price that cannot be obtained even if you beg for it. But Yi Feng is different. He is not the poor entrepreneurs, but a serious second-generation rich man.
The Yi family behind him is lush and has developed extremely prosperously. They have different relationships in the three realms of politics, business and military. Although they are not ranked very high in the country, they can be described as a towering tree with deep roots in Jiangnan Province.
I will just go home and act like a spoiled person, let’s say a few auspicious words, just say a few auspicious words, please? Why bother with you here like begging for food?
Of course, Yi Feng also knew that the quotation of 300 million valuation was considered a premium. After all, the technical level of the "Red Line" app is not high, and any scale-based Internet company can make it after taking some time.
Anyway, ideas and creativity cannot apply for patents. If you change the technology, change the interface UI, change the matching algorithm, you can also create a good blind date app, which is even more humane than your own "red line" and may not necessarily have more functions.
Even the investment companies that are currently in negotiation with us may be developing their own blind date apps, and they will talk and do it while they are talking to them, and they will become the users of your side, but they will not be able to compete with each other if they have achieved success.
For example, Penguin Company, even this time, didn’t send anyone here. Maybe now is asking his programmers to work 24 hours a day to add blind date and dating functions to their own QQ Weixin’s virtual reality version.
If these miscellaneous blind date apps are launched in the virtual reality world, their "red line" will probably be difficult to maintain their current hot state, and the valuation may plummet.
This is also an important reason why the business negotiators have been talking here for so long but haven't reached the result, but still seem to be not anxious.
It's really hard to start a business...
After sighing with emotion, Yi Feng began to think about solving another problem.
That is the personnel placement issue in the "cool training".
Because two young sisters successfully got on the line for the children of wealthy families through the "Red Line" platform, they resigned their jobs and fell in love with the rich second generation of the rich. Nearly 100 female employees in the "Red Line" app are now busy in the virtual reality world every night, struggling among all kinds of men, and their work enthusiasm is unprecedentedly high.
In contrast, the "cool training" aspect is not satisfactory. Since the "virtual training center" was launched, foreigners have a place to learn Chinese, and the order volume is getting worse every day. Most of the more than 100 male employees in the "cool training" aspect cannot receive orders at night, so they can only form teams on their own and go to the game to play stars and sell money. It almost turned into a star-killing studio, and the name of the training is in name only.
This situation is undoubtedly contrary to Yi Feng’s expected plan. The company paid them wages, provided training, and provided venue equipment. Is it just for them to fight stars? What is the difference between this and the big and small star-killing studios on the street?
No, there is a difference. Not only does the studio not pay wages, they also take a commission for selling stars!
What's the point of the company keeps spending money on it and keeping a bunch of idle people?
This will definitely not work. Should I just open them all, or create another app like the previous female employees and let them do other things together?
But, what should I do?
Go on a blind date too?
Although there are indeed a few handsome guys among them, they are all so poor that they have no house, no car, no education, and even in the virtual reality world, they can’t afford to buy virtual restaurants, and there is no market on the blind date platform.
So...go to participate in the competition?
Although the prize money for the competition is more than 600 million, the competition is also very fierce... Of course, there is no need to mention the young people under his command, but there is also a team of instructors and masters. I have seen their strength with my own eyes and it is completely enough to participate in the competition. However, their superpower level is low after all, and it is easy to be crushed by other high-level superpowered people...
If they want to increase their superpowers, it will be a lot of money. Moreover, the mainstream championship configurations are all fifth-level [yellow] levels, which will cost at least 200 million. Even if I can get them together, they may not be able to win the championship. Isn’t it said that some of the rich teams abroad have been promoted to the sixth level? The chance of winning the championship is still too small!
If I can't win the championship, the 200 million yuan will be in vain. Moreover, I don't have to open an e-sports club, and I won't get much fame if I lose, and it won't be of much help to the company.
Alas, this is really difficult to deal with...
If you can't make money and you can't make sure of the game, won't this group of people become useless? Just let's just open it all!
Wait! The competition may not necessarily be about winning the championship! I can still...
Thinking of this, Yi Feng immediately called the secretary: "Please invite Squad Leader Qin and the others, I have something to tell them."
After a while, Lao Qin took the five old comrades upstairs and walked into the conference room.
It can be seen that in front of Yi Feng, the middle-aged veteran seemed a little restrained: "Mr. Yi, are you looking for us?"
"Yes, everyone has lived these days well?" Although Yi Feng was anxious, he still reluctantly said politely.
"Okay, OK, Mr. Yi told us what we didn't." Lao Qin said the truth, and seemed a little embarrassed: "It's just that the business has not been very good recently, and sometimes I can't receive orders for a long time."
"Not to mention the bill for now." Yi Feng waved his hand and went straight to the topic: "Have you participated in the recent Little Adventure World Championship?"
"Not yet, now it's just the beginning, everyone is playing in a mess. It's not when we enter the field, but we and the players have not played yet." Lao Qin reported.
"If I pay for the money and upgrade all your superpowers to the fifth level [Yellow] level, are you sure to enter the final?" Yi Feng continued to ask.
"This..." Lao Qin frowned and pondered for a long time before saying: "To be honest, we have confidence, but this small adventure game is different from the battlefield. There are too many uncertainties. In the future, the knockout round will be a new map, so we are not very sure."
"Isn't it very much, then there's something?" Yi Feng continued to ask.
"Yes, our superpowers are all good, and it is a tacit understanding for each other. We have fought with many high-level superpowered people and some foreign experts..." Lao Qin said firmly: "If our superpowers have also reached the advanced level, we are sure to fight them!"
