Chapter 994 Boiling Point Game Development Company
Sun Dahai was hiding in the corner of Cao Ji's private restaurant chatting with Ren Kuei. Liu Yang came over with He Ying and found Sun Dahai.
He Ying was planning to start her own business. She was planning to open a game production company. Now the father and mother came to Sun Dahai to discuss with Sun Dahai where it would be better to open the company.
To put it bluntly, both of them have a strong academic aura, but in fact they cannot be regarded as pure businessmen.
Especially for Liu Yang, if it weren't for his father's students who served as his deputy and supported the company's operations, I'm afraid his Xinyuan Electronic Equipment Company would have collapsed long ago.
Most of the people in the Liu family and the He family are also intellectuals. There is no problem in learning and education, but there is no problem in business matters.
Therefore, whenever they encountered business matters, they were accustomed to ask Sun Dahai.
However, Sun Dahai knew his family's situation. He relied on his reborn memories to make money and develop, and was simply not as good as those shopping mall elites who had worked hard.
Therefore, unless Sun Dahai can give some pointers on general direction issues based on his memory, he can only consult Wu Dawei and others on detailed issues.
Now, He Ying wanted to ask Sun Dahai where it would be better to open her game company.
Wanwan's policy support for game companies is good, but Liu Yang mainly operates in Hong Kong and mainland China, so she is a little hesitant.
Sun Dahai naturally didn't understand such a question. He could only put forward some of his own opinions for He Ying's reference.
"Auntie, although the mainland is actively attracting investment, it does not pay special attention to game companies. Many officials and people even think that playing games is a waste of time. This kind of thinking will take a certain amount of time to change, so I don't recommend you.
In recent years, game companies have been established in mainland China.
The only advantage of Hong Kong is that it is tax-free, but the cost of living here is too high. If your company opens here, the daily office expenses will be relatively high.
Therefore, I suggest that you consider registering your game company in Xiangjiang. As for the location of the company’s office, I think Wanwan is a good choice. At least it has such an atmosphere there and it is more convenient to recruit developers.”
Liu Yang interjected, "The game industry in Japan is relatively developed, so it would be a good place for a company to open, right?"
He Ying glanced at Liu Yang angrily and said, "The cost of running a company in Japan is higher. Instead of doing this, I might as well open the company in Silicon Valley."
Sun Dahai was about to say that He Ying's company could be opened in the Blue Ocean Building in Silicon Valley for free, but He Ying followed up by saying, "You really want me to stay away from you?"
When Sun Dahai heard this, he quickly covered his mouth. Liu Yang was also speechless.
Gao Yi saw the awkwardness and quickly interrupted: "Auntie, how much investment is your game company planning to make? Do you need us to participate in the investment?"
He Ying nodded and said: "I came to Dahai today mainly to talk about investment. I originally wanted to open a game studio with no more than ten people, and asked your uncle to allocate two to three million Hong Kong dollars from Xinyuan.
An upfront investment is enough.
However, before I left the United States, I talked about my ideas with several Asian classmates in the computer science department at Stanford University. Unexpectedly, four of them expressed their willingness to work with me on game development.
So I thought it would be better to be more formal from the beginning and directly establish a game development company, which would be beneficial to everyone’s future development.”
Sun Dahai and Gao Yi both understood what He Ying meant.
Indeed, it is very easy for the elites in the Computer Science Department of Stanford University to find a job. Countless large companies and enterprises are looking forward to their joining.
Now, since they are willing to start a business with He Ying, the salary is secondary. The original equity is the necessary price that allows them to develop with He Ying with peace of mind.
Compared with studios with loose results and unclear rights and responsibilities, He Ying wants to directly establish a game development company and keep the business operations formalized from the beginning in order to avoid some disputes that may arise in the future.
Moreover, in order to ensure He Ying's control over the company, the early investment in the game development company needs to be higher, so that after sharing a portion of the shares with her classmates, it will not have a serious impact on the company's management authority.
He Ying estimated that according to market conditions, she would have to pay the four classmates shares worth between US$1 million and US$1.5 million to meet their worth.
The total share capital of a game development company must be more than 10 million US dollars, which means that this part of the shares should be reduced to less than 15%. In this way, even if He Ying gives about 5% of the shares to the management in the future, it will not
Let her lose control of the company.
However, the investment of 10 million US dollars has exceeded Liu Yang's support ability.
Xinyuan Electronic Equipment Company has just opened a branch factory in mainland China and introduced several sets of advanced production lines. It is preparing to do something big! Now, let alone 10 million US dollars, it is 10 million Hong Kong dollars. He wants to spend it.
It's more laborious.
Fortunately, Sun Dahai had already told them that whether they needed to borrow money or participate in investment, he would support them.
With Sun Dahai's guarantee, He Ying was of course relieved. So, He Ying's plan to set up a game studio was upgraded to a game development company.
Sun Dahai also knew something about the situation of Xinyuan Electronic Equipment Company. Because of their investment and construction of factories in the mainland, Shiweitian sent people to help them coordinate with the local government.
Now that He Ying was preparing to set up a company, Sun Dahai paid for his support. Not only did he lend He Ying a sum of money, he also arranged for Blue Ocean International and Cao's Investment Company to join the company in making the game development company bigger.
Finally, the game development company named "Boiling Point" completed the startup structure.
The company is registered in Xiangjiang and its office is in Wanwan. The total share capital is US$10 million. He Ying holds 40% of the shares and is the legal person and chairman of the company.
Blue Ocean International, Sun's Investment Company, Cao's Investment Company and Xinyuan Electronic Equipment Company each hold 10% of the shares, and the other 20% of the shares will be distributed to the company's main technology development and management personnel.
Liu Yang originally wanted to inject 15% of the agency rights of the game "Tetris" he held into Boiling Point Game Development Company, but this proposal was rejected by He Ying and Sun Dahai at the same time.
He Ying's view is very straightforward. Although "Tetris" is also a game, it will focus on multi-platform licensing (sales) in the future and will have little connection with game development companies.
As for Liu Yang's new factory in mainland China, one of the production lines is to produce Tetris game consoles. If he transfers the agency rights to Boiling Point, he will lose his name when producing and selling Tetris game consoles in the future.
advantages on.
Therefore, He Ying did not accept Liu Yang's proposal.
