The journey always has an end, but life continues.
At twelve o'clock in the evening on April 12, everyone took the opportunity to arrive in the capital and returned to their homes.
This journey has come to an end, and everyone has gained something different. The one who gained the most is undoubtedly Li Peifeng.
Not only did he officially turn Lao Zhao into his fiancée, but the five-in-one emotional relationship has also become more stable.
When Li Peifeng proposed to Zhao Qingge, the three girls Wu Xuhuang were really angry about it, but by the time they got home, their anger had almost dissipated.
After all, it's just a proposal, and it's not worth getting angry at all. The two of them are going to get married in the future. If they are so angry now, won't they be angry to death when they see the scene where the two take their wedding vows?
Just ignore it.
When I figured out that the phrase "the good days are yet to come" was a lie, and that all life can bring to people is a series of unsolvable problems, I fell into a sea of incomparable peace.
The next day, Wednesday, everyone returned to their busy daily routine, going to work when they should go to work, and going to school when they should go to school.
Li Peifeng still planned to stay at home and code, but after a while, he received a call from He Yimeng.
"I have been in contact with all the mobile game companies you mentioned, and the prices offered are too high. Considering all things considered, I think it would be better to start one myself, or acquire a more capable game development studio, and then use it as a basis.
The skeleton is gradually built..."
After He Yimeng resigned from Trinity, he focused all his energy on this.
Li Peifeng has been traveling for more than a week, and she has not been idle every day. The first five days were for tutoring in the mobile game industry, and the next few days were spent contacting acquisition targets and negotiating one by one.
The final answer given to Li Peifeng was also well thought out. Even the specific plan and studio acquisition target were prepared. After hearing this, Mr. Li felt that it made sense and directly adopted it.
"Okay, as you said, if you need my help when making acquisitions or recruiting people, just contact me."
"Of course I need you to come forward. Are you home?"
"Hmm...How about I go find you now?"
"Come here, I plan to visit that studio in the afternoon, and you should go too."
"no problem."
When he came to Baoyu Community again, Li Peifeng no longer hid his head and tail as usual. He drove directly to the downstairs of He Yimeng and walked into her house openly.
"I see the garage is not open, and you have closed the psychological consultation room as well?"
"I don't have time to take any more cases. Another counselor is on leave today, so it's closed."
He Yimeng was wearing pajamas, opened the door and went straight to the bedroom: "Come with me, I will show you the information about that studio."
As early as eight or nine years ago, developing mobile games was a fertile paradise for game designers of any level and level. At that time, all they needed was to own a smartphone, know the Xcode integrated development tool, and have enough ideas and creativity.
You can join this exciting field with huge potential.
From game design blueprint to market investment, even an individual or a small team of several people can complete a mobile game within a few weeks to a few months, so there are countless domestic mobile game development studios.
To put it bluntly, at that time, mobile games were the mainstream, and even pigs could fly if they stood on the mainstream.
However, with the development of the smartphone era, mobile phone hardware continues to change and upgrade, and capital is valued, more terminal game production companies have begun to get involved in the field of mobile games, and other factors have caused the development costs of 3D mobile games to increase exponentially.
, players’ tastes have become more picky, and operation difficulty has also increased.
Although there are some creative games, and with amazing luck, games operated on low budgets can also set off trends and create cultural phenomena, but the probability of winning a lottery jackpot is really too low. Small mobile games
The chances of success for development teams and developers are disappearing. Only mobile game companies with stronger funds, willing to spend a lot of money on production, and a lot of money on marketing, can gain a firm foothold in this more involved market.
Therefore, many mobile game production studios are facing the crisis of bankruptcy. The old games they once produced are no longer popular in the market. Their monthly revenue is getting less and less every day. It is unsustainable to operate and they cannot develop new games.
New games that meet the appetites of contemporary players may suffer from problems with the financial chain due to increased development costs, and the project is shelved.
Most founders don't want their hard work to be completely wiped out. They also want to find a new owner for it before it suffers a loss, so that they can cash out and leave.
The Menglong Studio that He Yimeng showed Li Peifeng was like this. It has a scale of more than 30 people. It developed an RPG-type 3D mobile game three years ago. At its peak, it achieved a monthly revenue of one million.
The results were good, but they only lasted less than half a year. Due to operational problems and changes in players' tastes, the revenue dropped rapidly.
The founder of Menglong is also a game developer with dreams. After earning a certain amount of money from the first game, he immediately started a new project, increased the budget, and recruited people to start a big project.
After a year of painstaking research and development, the new game was released, but the market response was very lukewarm.
The production cost increased tenfold, and the results achieved were not half as good as the first game. It was difficult to maintain the game for two years. The founder of Menglong was discouraged and resigned to his fate and wanted to sell it.
"This studio has a certain amount of RPG production experience and technology, and although its two mobile games are still in operation, they are both unable to make ends meet and are not far from being shut down. Therefore, the price to acquire it will be relatively low.
, all that needs to be considered is the cost of equipment and personnel, I estimate that it can be won for about two to three million."
"After the acquisition is completed, we will recruit more personnel, and "Sword and Law" will basically be launched!"
Li Peifeng nodded while looking at it: "When did you make an appointment to meet?"
"At two o'clock, go directly to the studio, which is about ten kilometers away."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Peifeng withdrew his gaze and carefully looked at He Yimeng. The ends of his white hair were a little yellow, and his complexion was not very good-looking. It was obvious that he had been out for a week.
, why did Meng Meng spend so much time and energy on this matter? He couldn't help but feel distressed and moved to say: "Meng Meng, thank you for your hard work."
"Don't just talk."
He Yimeng said calmly: "Think carefully about how many shares you should share with me when the time comes, as long as it is worthy of my hard work."
Li Peifeng pretended to be generous: "What's mine is yours, I'll give it to you as much as you want. Well, I'll work hard first, give you some love, and use it as interest."
"Hang it, I don't need that worthless thing at all!!"
The louder you shout, the more necessary you are.
Li Peifeng ignored He Yimeng's struggle, poured in the energy of love, and made lunch afterwards. While eating the meal with a red face, He Yimeng calmly asked: "How do you feel about this trip? What do you want me to ask for?"
How about it?"
Li Peifeng hesitated for a moment and finally told the truth: "It's okay, everything went smoothly."
…
"Two...are you Ms. He?"
"Yes, this is Mr. Li, my partner."
"Hello Hello."
Perhaps in response to the principle of being successful in love and frustrated in the workplace, the two of them did not have a smooth conversation about the acquisition of Menglong Studio.
After arriving at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Li Peifeng and He Yimeng met the boss Xu Long, a middle-aged man in his early forties wearing jeans and a white shirt.
Under the leadership of Xu Long, the two of them visited the studio. The employees were working as usual, with normal expressions, and occasionally glanced at the visitors. Although the voices of the discussions were very low, Li Peifeng learned all about them.
They also learned that the studio was looking for investment, and when they met Li Peifeng and He Yimeng, they were all surprised that the acquirer was so young.
"It doesn't look like an investment, it's probably the second generation of rich people who want to play with their fortunes."
"We can't discuss it again."
"Don't make random guesses. It seems he's not the second generation of rich people, because that handsome guy looks familiar to me..."
"Don't tell me, that beauty looks familiar to me!"
Both Li Peifeng and He Yimeng are well-known. Some people recognize them, and some people don't. Xu Long belongs to the latter group. Seeing that they are so young, he thought they were rich second-generation people who had just graduated from college and wanted to find something to do.
, so he tried his best to trick the two of them into investing in Menglong Studio using some not very fluent words.
That's right, it changed from acquisition to equity investment.
Most entrepreneurs would not want to hand over their business to others if they were not really forced to do anything else. Xu Long was the same. Seeing two people who were suspected of being rich and ignorant, he wanted to swindle some money.
Come, continue to control Menglong Studio and develop a new project to bring it back to life...
Li Peifeng and He Yimeng looked at each other and saw each other's thoughts, but they also tacitly agreed to let Xu Long continue acting, listening to him draw the pie, boasting about how powerful his employees' skills were, and how good his new projects were.
How creative.
When Xu Long's mouth went dry and he secretly felt that something was wrong, He Mengcai said with a half-smile: "Boss Xu doesn't seem to be sincere. I remember that we were talking about acquisitions on the phone. Why?"
Did you change your tone after we arrived?"
Xu Long's eyes flashed with embarrassment, and he laughed and said: "It's an acquisition. I'm willing to transfer 40% of the equity. How can this not be an acquisition?"
"My partners may not have made it clear to you before, but what we want is a full acquisition, not a shareholding."
Li Peifeng calmly introduced himself: "I am an online article author. The purpose of acquiring game companies is actually to operate the copyright of my works..."
Mr. Li briefly talked about his thoughts, and then bluntly stated that he could only acquire the company wholly because Xu Long is the founder of this company. If you continue to stay here, it will cause inconvenience to the subsequent management of the company. Then he asked He Yimeng
Said: "I see that Boss Xu is still very reluctant to leave his company. Let's go directly to the second one. There is no need to waste each other's time."
Is there any second place for them to visit?
Time was in a hurry, so it would be great for He Yimeng to find such a studio that was on the verge of bankruptcy and had the conditions to develop RPG mobile games. But she knew very well that Mr. Li was acting, so she hummed in agreement and stood up to leave.
"Wait, wait, you two sit down first, it's not like I can't consider it if I'm fully funded."
Xu Long saw that the negotiation was about to collapse, so he sighed and tried to persuade him to stay, and the real negotiations began.
But he insisted on a price of five million and refused to let go. The reason was that the studio was strong and the two old games in operation still made a small amount of revenue every month. As long as they were promoted properly and some gameplay updates were made, they would definitely be able to come back to life.
Li Peifeng was quite satisfied with the price of five million, but He Yimeng shook his head repeatedly.
She had done enough homework before coming, and the highest estimate she could give for the work of 'Menglong' was three million, but Xu Long's price was less than half higher, so Bai Mao started a fierce bargaining mode...
"We can give up the two previous mobile games of Menglong. Boss Xu, you can take them away. After all, even if we take over, we will directly shut down their servers and dedicate all our efforts to develop our own projects. Frankly speaking, what we value is just
Your studio has a mature team. We don’t need the rest at all, so I think two million is a relatively fair price.”
"If you are not satisfied, we can only make another choice, or poach them when Menglong is disbanded? I'm sorry, what I said is a bit unpleasant... but you have been in the business world for so many years, you should still be able to accept the reality.
Right?"
Xu Long couldn't accept it at all, not because he couldn't accept the reality, but because he couldn't accept the price of two million.
The conversation reached a deadlock, and He Yimeng really wanted to leave after leaving a single word.
"The maximum is 2.6 million. This is our bottom line. If you have any intention, please call me. If you don't, forget it. Goodbye."
He Yimeng left very decisively. Although Li Peifeng wanted to agree in his heart, he did not show it and followed He Yimeng calmly and left.
"Five million is too high, but four million can still be considered... You just opened the offer for 260, how can you be so confident? What if he doesn't sell? Do you have any backup options?"
"It's only two hundred and sixty. He will definitely contact me again within two days. Do you know why?"
"Why?"
He Yimeng said: "First, there are not many people interested in acquiring this company, and the price we offered should be the highest. Otherwise, after hearing my final offer, his first reaction should not be to purse his lips and hesitate.
Instead, he frowned with disdain. Secondly, I asked about the property management of this office building. The rent on the fifteenth floor, which is the Menglong floor, is due at the end of this month."
"Menglong rented an area of 400 square meters. The rent per square meter per day is 4.5 yuan, which is 54,000 yuan a month. This money is not big, but for Menglong, which is barely maintaining operations at the moment, it can be less.
An expense is an expense. Besides, if Xu Long still wanted to persist, he would have paid the rent long ago and would not have delayed it until now."
"Six six six!"
Facts have proved that He Yu's inference is correct.
Within two days, at noon the next day, Xu Long made an appointment with the two of them again. After another long conversation, they finally signed a contract and reached a wholly-owned acquisition deal at a price of 2.8 million.
The layoffs that employees in the studio were worried about did not happen, because after Xu Long and the two new bosses reached the deal, they immediately held a meeting to appease people and promised that there would never be layoffs or salary cuts. Instead, they would
Continue to expand enrollment to cope with the normal operation of the "Sword and Law" mobile game project.
"I will send the outline of this book to everyone soon. The task for all of you at this stage is to read it as soon as possible."
Li Peifeng added without hesitation: "Of course, it's best to read the text published now. I suggest... read the original version! In order to avoid you privately saying that I, the boss, am doing good for personal gain and taking money from my subordinates on the first day I took over,
I’ll treat you to a big dinner tonight, and the price is five hundred yuan per person!”
"Pa bang bang~"
The applause was very warm, and the employees felt relieved. Some people who had heard of "Sword and Law" and understood its influence had already begun to imagine the achievements this project would achieve.
"Mr. He, do you have anything to add?"
He Yimeng shook his head gently: "Let's adjourn the meeting."
"I just read dozens of chapters of Mr. Li's book yesterday. I can only say that I was shocked by the fact that I met you late. If it is developed into a mobile game, it will definitely achieve great success in the future."
Back in the office, Xu Long sighed and regretted: "It's a pity that I can't participate in this project."
Li Peifeng smiled and said: "If you stay as the founder, Yimeng and I will have concerns. You'd better be more understanding."
"Understand, understand."
Xu Long sighed, then forced a smile: "Then... I'll say goodbye to them and let them concentrate on working for the new owner."
After he left, Li Peifeng turned his attention to He Yimeng.
The other party was wearing a one-piece dark gray suit and a pair of canvas shoes. He looked fashionable and capable. However, the most impressive thing about Li Peifeng was He Yimeng's hair. The original three thousand black hair has been dyed back to black. Just today
Dyeed in the morning.
Li Peifeng was very surprised when they first met. He asked her why she dyed her hair back, and the answer was simple: "I will be in management in the future, and it is not appropriate to have white hair on my head."
It does look more serious, but less cute, which is a pity!
"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen enough?"
He Yimeng sat in front of the computer, sending the outline of "Sword and Law" to his subordinates, staring at the screen without squinting.
Li Peifeng walked up behind her and massaged her shoulders and neck while saying: "I think it's hard for you to abandon your specialty of psychological counseling and start a mobile game across industries with just one sentence. You will definitely be worried about it in the future, so bear with me."
I couldn't help but take a second look... By the way, I want to change the name Menglong, what do you think would be better?"
He Yimeng took a deep breath: "You can call me whatever you want, as long as you don't force me to call you out here."
Li Peifeng raised his eyebrows: "That's not the case. My massage technique is very normal. I didn't forget to leave at all."
"As long as you touch me, I can't help but scream! Let go, stay away from me as a human body, don't test my willpower!"
Li Peifeng hates the fact that iron cannot be made into steel: "You...you are the ones who want to be the boss, why are you so weak in willpower? No, I have to test you!"
…
Young people may not realize the subtlety of time. It flows through everyone in the same way, but everyone spends time in different ways.
For Li Peifeng, who works 168 hours a week and is awake for 160 hours, his attitude towards time is more calm and calm.
In addition to coding every day, Li Peifeng occasionally goes to his own mobile game company, or to two other companies responsible for the animation and comic film and television production of "Sword and Law".
But he still puts more time and energy into accompanying the girl beside him.
Stabilizing and deepening the emotional connection with her is what Li Peifeng values the most.
Under his management, the four girls living together never had any major quarrels, but as the saying goes, how can one live a life without touching the bottom of the pot?
Even if two people are a couple, there are still bumps in the cohabitation life, let alone one man and four women living in a villa?
Even if Li Peifeng tried his best to avoid it, he would still inevitably get into small fights.
Especially after Zhao Qingge was proposed to, his mentality seemed to have undergone some subtle changes. To put it bluntly, he became more possessive, and the hostess' psychology increased, which indirectly made such petty fights occur more often than before.
It happens more often before traveling...
The cause of the incident was that after everyone had eaten, Zhao Qingge said to Li Peifeng in a commanding tone, "It's time for you to go to bed today. Go back to the master bedroom to sleep." This meant that he should sleep in the same room and bed with him.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It seems that he wants to get closer to Li Peifeng, but in fact, Lao Zhao wants to keep Li firmly in his hands to prevent him from running into the other three girls in the middle of the night.
Doing bad things in the room.
Li Peifeng didn't say anything about this, but the three people whose interests had been harmed were no longer willing. Xu Maning was the first to speak out in a strange way: "Some people are planning to occupy the latrine and stop shitting."
Wu Wenyue also said: "Maybe we were used to sleeping together during the two days of traveling, and we were not used to the lack of a man in the bed."
Huang Tianxuan smiled and said: "That night in Sapu..."
The night she stayed in the RV at the foot of the Sapu Snow Mountain was still a thorn in Zhao Qingge's heart. When Huang Tianxuan mentioned it, her face immediately darkened and she shouted sternly to shut up.
Li Peifeng could stand this attitude, but the three of them were not used to it, so they shouted back on the spot with a higher volume.
"What's wrong? Why are you shouting?"
"Put your wedding ring away, isn't it just to propose marriage to you? Sooner or later, we will divorce. Why are you so arrogant? Have you forgotten how we discussed it in the first place?"
"She didn't discuss it with us. I think she plans to monopolize it."
"Shameless, you are still his mentor, have you forgotten? You don't have any teacher ethics at all, right? I'm ashamed of you!"
One mouth can only speak three words. Zhao Qingge did not open his mouth to fight back. He got up from the table and went upstairs to the master bedroom. After a while, he came down again with a big book in his hand and took a picture of the thing called the 'House Ownership Certificate'
On the table, someone said loudly: "This is my home. If you continue to make noise, please leave!"
This was a killer move, but the three girls' momentum remained unabated, either sneering or disdainful. Xu Maning even looked at Li Peifeng and asked, "She's chasing us, and you don't care? If you don't care, I'll leave. We have a lot of houses. It seems like no one would be happy to be there."
It’s like living here!”
They quarreled more often, and Li Peifeng coaxed him more. He was a little impatient, but he continued to eat calmly: "You don't need to leave any of you. I'll leave after dinner. I'll just go find a hotel to stay for one night."
.”
Xu Maning's tone was stagnant. She didn't expect Li Peifeng's reaction, but Wu Wenyue curled her lips: "You still need to go to a hotel? Just find a wild woman and sleep at her house. I can't give you any warmth here!"
Huang Tianxuan frowned: "Pei Feng, are you trying to solve the problem? Your true colors are starting to show now, what will you do in the future?"
Zhao Qingge was really angry, staring at Li Peifeng expressionlessly without saying a word.
Li Peifeng looked at her and glanced around: "Is it okay if I don't sleep? I'm not sleepy today."
"What about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow?"
Zhao Qingge said one word at a time: "What happens after you marry me? Do you still plan to separate rooms?"
"At that time, I actually wanted to book a special large bed for five people..."
"!!"
The atmosphere suddenly became dangerous. Li Peifeng realized that he had made a mistake, raised his rice bowl higher, and shoveled the rice into his mouth.
"Li Peifeng, please explain it clearly to me!"
Zhao Qingge was livid and wanted to ask him what he meant by ordering a big bed, but Li Peifeng's cell phone rang.
Video call, caller, Yu Huizhi!
"Hello, Mom?"
Li Peifeng quickly connected and scanned the faces of several girls one by one, and their expressions all turned into unnatural fake smiles.
"Hello, aunt."
"How are you feeling?"
"Hello to you too."
Yu Huizhi responded politely. When she saw Li Peifeng's face reappearing on the camera, she asked tentatively: "Fengfeng, what are you... doing?"
"eat."
Yu Huizhi muttered, "I thought we were quarreling," and then smiled: "The TV series "Evil Boss" has been released, and the ratings are quite high. Have you all watched it?"
