Yao Yuan’s first idea for Mai Li was to follow the route of film and television drama + UP host. He was indeed not very interested in the second dimension and did not buy too many anime dramas at first.
However, the new generation of domestic audiences is rising very fast. Users with different preferences gather in Maili, and their demand for content is also increasing.
After Mai Li goes on the market, it will be inconvenient for Yao Yuan and Yu Jiajia to take direct control of it, otherwise where would Xu Meng's authority lie.
Xu Meng, who was influenced by the two of them, was very pragmatic and smartly spotted the huge potential of the two-dimensional market and formulated a new strategy, which was to purchase more animation series.
As for Station A and Station B, they are both small-time losers and they are still fighting each other.
Station B was originally a backup station, but now that it has grown, it is bound to exclude all elements of A.
Nowadays, anyone who runs a video website needs a license. It is impossible to get one with the size of Bilibili, but it can be sold: just this year, Kankan News Network, a subsidiary of Shanghai Media Group, acquired Bilibili. Bilibili can use the news network
license plate.
Station A was having a hard time, being shut down from time to time, coupled with constant internal strife, it was a mess.
There are more and more users, and fewer and fewer users, and the power of history books comes out. In the past, site A was called "little broken site", but now it has become site B.
To put it simply, Station B is so filial that it wants to kill its father!
………………
Shanghai.
There is a Science and Technology Entrepreneurship Center in Shanghai, which was established in 1988. It has many functions, one of which is to help college students start their own businesses: it usually provides a fund of 100,000 yuan and a 50-square-meter office that can be used free of charge for half a year.
The center has its own incubation base, which is an office building, filled with small and medium-sized enterprises that are just starting up.
Some survived the half-year period, grew stronger, and left in glory, but most did not even survive the half-year period and died silently.
This day.
It seems that another small and broken company is about to follow suit, and its name is: MiHoYo!
In the office, the atmosphere was solemn. The four founders Cai Haoyu, Liu Wei, Luo Yuhao, and Jin Zhicheng said nothing. There was a stack of "Equity Transfer Agreement" and other documents on the table.
"Lao Jin, this is your last chance, you have to think about it."
After a long while, Liu Wei finally spoke and said: "After signing, you and I will go our separate ways, and we will no longer be brothers starting a business together."
"I know, I can't help you, I'm a deserter..."
Jin Zhicheng was also very torn, and finally sighed and said: "But that's Cisco, I can't refuse."
"Then you are willing to give up halfway? Have you forgotten the days and nights we have struggled together? You have abandoned the second dimension, your faith, and Ayanami Rei!"
The more Liu Wei talked, the more excited he became, the kind that even Ultraman couldn't hold back.
"Okay, okay! Let's get together and part ways with our brothers."
Luo Yuhao quickly grabbed him, pushed the "Share Transfer Agreement" and said, "Then sign it!"
"..."
Jin Zhicheng silently picked up the pen and wrote his name. The clause read:
"Shareholder Jin Zhicheng will transfer his 6.70% and 6.30% shares to Liu Wei and Luo Yuhao at a price of 6,700 yuan and 6,300 yuan respectively, and other shareholders will give up their right of first refusal."
That is, he transferred 13% of the shares for 13,000 yuan.
In 20 years' time, these shares will be worth more than 20 billion...
After a few people signed, they looked at each other and felt sad. One of the four founders was gone. I don't know how long this small company can last.
"Let's go! As a farewell to you, let's have another Shaxian meal."
Liu Wei was obviously the most outgoing person. He patted Jin Zhicheng on the shoulder and asked him to go out for dinner.
The four of them are all graduate students at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. They received 100,000 yuan in entrepreneurial funds last year, set up a small studio, and developed a mobile game "Fly Me 2 The Moon".
Some achievements have been achieved on various platforms.
Then at the end of last year, a shareholder called Skye Network was introduced, who invested 1 million and took 15% of the shares. The four people took the 1 million and officially established a MiHoYo company in February this year.
Unexpectedly, it got off to a bad start, and Jin Zhicheng received an offer from Cisco and chose to leave.
A small, broken company with no prospects, and a big, bright company. Whichever choice you choose makes sense...
The four of them went to the nearby Shaxian Hotel and ordered the familiar dishes: one dumpling and three bowls of noodles. Today was a special day, so they even ordered a chicken drumstick for Jin Zhicheng.
When the four of them sat there, the strong aroma of being an otaku in their early 20s naturally emanated.
Liu Wei has small eyes and sparse teeth. He was the president of the student union at school. He is the most outgoing and is responsible for the management and external affairs of MiHoYo.
Cai Haoyu, with thick eyebrows, looks like Crayon Shin-chan. In 1998, he was selected as one of the first batch of "Little Academicians" of the China Youth Academy of Sciences. He is a computer genius and is responsible for technical aspects.
Luo Yuhao, a young man with premature baldness, a low-key person who did a little bit of everything, was later responsible for designing the game payment plan.
Young people don't care about separation. The few of them ate Shaxian and forgot about their emotions while chatting. Liu Wei secretly took out a packaging box from his bag, which contained a figure of Misato Katsuragi.
Misato Katsuragi is a character in "Neon Genesis Evangelion", also known as "EVA".
"Lao Jin, I have nothing to give, so I will leave it to you Misato-chan!"
“Don’t bully your friend’s wife!”
Jin Zhicheng's eyes widened, his head shook like a rattle, and he said: "This gift is too expensive, I can't accept it!"
"You must accept it, I know you have been coveting this figure for a long time!"
"No, no, Misato-chan is the best destination by your side!"
You push me and give way, it’s so serious, why not be serious? This is "EVA", this is the second dimension, this is their belief!
Long live the second dimension!
In the end, Jin Zhicheng accepted it.
Seeing this, Cai Haoyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and touched his bag. There was an Asuka figure stuffed inside... Since Liu Wei gave it away, I won't give it away.
The four of them had a meal, made many sincere remarks, and finally held up cups of tea.
Liu Weidao: "Lao Jin, no matter where you go, never forget our mission. Remember: tech geeks save the world!"
"Technology nerds save the world!"
The other three nodded vigorously.
After lunch, Jin Zhicheng left first.
The four of them turned into three and silently returned to the company.
There are a total of 7 people in Xiaopo Company, and now there are 6. When "Fly Me 2 The Moon" was first launched last year, it achieved certain results, but was later removed.
Because the music inside is not copyrighted.
Currently, we are working on a new project, which is a game about beautiful girls killing zombies, inspired by "School Apocalypse".
There are only 6 people, there are no system requirements, each is responsible for a task, and we discuss things together. Cai Haoyu did not type code, but wandered around the Internet, looking for inspiration.
I quickly ran to Maili Video.
Look at the big recommendations on the homepage: ""Ninja Rantaro", "Detective Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century" and "Neon Genesis Evangelion" are now online!"
WOW!
Cai Haoyu's eyes widened and he immediately shouted: "Maili bought "EVA"!"
"Is it online?"
"Damn it, I said Mai Li understands us!"
"Yes, last year everyone jointly hoped to buy "Fate/Zero", and they actually bought it!"
"Ah, I can finally watch Rei Ayanami with Danmaku!"
There was a commotion, these people were all die-hard fans of "EVA".
Cai Haoyu often wears COS clothes to work, and he likes Asuka the most, so that for a long time MiHoYo's website LOGO was golden yellow - Asuka's hair color.
His catchphrase is "How can we be friends if we haven't even watched "EVA"?"
He clicked on the first episode, and before there were many barrages, he typed out a line of words: "Long live "EVA"!"
