Seeing that Pei Qian's face was pale and there was no expression of approval or relief on his face, Ma Yang suddenly felt a little unsure.

"Brother Qian, don't you blame me for spending too much money?"

"Do you think a small foreign company is not worth investing so much money?"

Pei Qian: "..."

Seeing Lao Ma's sincere eyes, Pei Qian was at a loss for words.

How do you say this...

It was Pei Qian who told Lao Ma to take action when it was time to take action without hesitation;

It's Pei Qian who lets Lao Ma vote for whatever he likes.

Playing underworld and playing "Shenqi" is one of Lao Ma's few hobbies. Lao Ma couldn't invest in "Shenqi", so he could only settle for a random foreign company that made similar games and invest in it, and he was instantly successful.

I threw all 20 million into it.

From all aspects, Lao Ma listened to Pei Qian's words.

Moreover, this seems to be a rather unreliable transaction, which is very consistent with Pei Qian's original intention.

But Pei Qian feels miserable because this company has such a strong sense of deja vu!

Is this ioi the lol after the change?

The reason why Pei Qian was unexpected about this was mainly because he had checked similar information on the Internet last year!

According to original memories, Riot Games was founded around 2006, and raised US$8 million in 2008, bringing in three investors.

As for the subsequent acquisition by Penguin for an additional $200 million, that was in 2011.

According to memory, lol was launched in 2009.

The time now is already November 2010.

It stands to reason that the US$8 million financing at that time should have been completed long ago?

Pei Qian searched for similar news on the Internet last year, but did not find it.

He didn't think much about it at the time, thinking it was just another sign of the changes in the world. After all, even Station B had become Ellie Island, and it was normal for other companies to undergo some changes.

Pei Qian didn't take this too seriously. After all, the company was far overseas, and he wasn't very well-informed.

Now Pei Qian finally understands why he couldn't find it last year.

Because the company name and the game name have changed, from Riot Company to Zidian Company, from lol to ioi, of course Pei Qian can't find anything when searching under the original name.

Moreover, the entire timeline has been pushed back two years. The company was probably just established last year. It was just a start-up. How could there be too much information online?

Pei Qian has actually always been curious about what MOBA games in this world will be like.

I never expected that I finally knew the answer to this matter today, but in such a ridiculous way...

However, Pei Qian looked at the system panel and found that there were no obvious changes yet.

The shares worth more than 2 million dollars should be of the same nature as the villa. They are special assets belonging to the company and should definitely be displayed on the system panel.

This may be because the share acquisition is still in progress and all procedures have not been completed, so it is not officially displayed on the system.

Many thoughts quickly flashed through Pei Qian's mind.

He faced Lao Ma's sincere eyes and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Criticizing him? It doesn't seem to make sense. Lao Ma followed his instructions completely and didn't compromise at all.

Spending 20 million on a small foreign company is very consistent with the style of Dream Venture Capital. It is not appropriate to blame Ma Yang for this!

Praise him? Well, you should indeed praise him. This kind of investment is the kind of deeds that can last a lifetime.

But... Pei Qian really can't boast.

Pei Qian took two deep breaths and nodded reluctantly: "It's okay, you did a good job."

"However, there may not be any extra funds in the near future. Lao Ma, just take everyone to work and play games every day, and wait for my next news."

Pei Qian stood up and prepared to leave.

He couldn't stay in this sad place for a second.

Ma Yang raised his hand: "Hey, Brother Qian, why don't you come and experience a high-end game? I'm a 1900-point master!"

Pei Qian: "..."

Ma Yang added: "I will contact the manager Lin directly for the meal on Saturday night. Is it okay?"

Pei Qian: "..."

You still have the nerve to eat my food!

Speechless, he could only turn his back to Ma Yang and raise his hand to make an "ok" gesture, and then left without looking back.

…

…

Back at Tenda Games, Pei Qian sat down in his office.

I have thought about life, and now I have to think about how to deal with this unexpected event.

This kind of trouble occurred at the beginning of the cycle, which was completely beyond Pei Qian's expectations.

I bought more than 20% of the shares and obtained the exclusive agency rights of ioi in China. This matter is basically finalized. It is impossible to terminate the investment and transfer these newly purchased shares.

Because there is really no valid reason.

What if we sell it after a while? By then, the valuation of the company will definitely rise rapidly, and we will definitely make a lot of money from this sale.

What's more, after Pei Qian thought about it carefully, he couldn't sell the shares at all.

Selling it midway would be stupid!

If Zhidou Company can really develop to the scale that Pei Qian imagined, not to mention the shares, the exclusive domestic agency rights alone will be a cash cow.

Mr. Pei indeed regards making money as dirt, but if there is too much dirt... it will be impossible to ignore it.

If ioi can earn more than one billion or two billion dollars every year in the future, then no matter how the wealth conversion ratio is adjusted, the personal property converted will still be a large amount of money.

If it's just a small profit of a few million, it really doesn't mean much to Pei Qian, but if it's a profit of several billion, things are completely different.

Moreover, think about it, will you be able to produce heroes and exclusive skins named after yourself in the future?

If you think about it this way, it’s quite touching!

If this situation really happens, then it seems to be a good strategy for Pei Qian to make money by doing nothing.

The large amount of system funds earned can also be used to develop logistics, build physical stores, and give back to the society.

He is a good young man who earns money from foreigners and repays his motherland.

Of course, then again, this is not so certain.

The whole world is different, and the company and game names are different from what Pei Qian remembers. Who can guarantee that ioi will be as successful as lol?

Moreover, even if it succeeds, it will only be three or four years later.

During this period, we have to go through many rounds of promotions, and through the joint efforts of many people, the right time, the right location, and the right people, it is possible to achieve a dominant position in the global game market.

Who can say exactly what will happen in three or four years?

Water from afar cannot quench local thirst. Even if he can really make money while lying down in three or four years, it will not affect Pei Qian's current development strategy.

In short, in the long run, these shares and exclusive agency rights must be retained.

If you dislike making money in the near future, then think of ways to spend it suddenly, such as logistics, warehousing, public welfare... Anyway, spending it in a different way is equivalent to benefiting society.

Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem like the situation is that bad.

The hope of losing money has not been completely cut off.

Moreover, as Pei Qian was thinking about it, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with a good idea.

"Just in time, I can take this opportunity to hedge my risks!"

"Now that the world already has ioi, does that mean the future winner has been determined?"

"Then if I make a MOBA game myself, wouldn't it be inevitable that it would be a hit on the street?"

"Then it becomes a bottomless pit. You can just put as much money into it as you want to burn!"

Pei Qian suddenly discovered the New World, and it can be said that there is another village with a bright future!

If ioi is destined to take the world by storm in the future, and a game with excellent quality like "Shenqi" can still withstand it, other PC game MOBAs may soon suffer heavy casualties and become just a sideshow.

In this case, if Tenda also makes a MOBA game, wouldn't it definitely fail?

I spent 50 million on it first, and then spent another 50 million on it if the situation was not good. In the end, the game was sold out because it was unable to resist the tide of ioi, so all the research and development funds were wasted...

Isn’t it beautiful?

The more Pei Qian thought about it, the more he felt that this was reliable!

Tenda had originally reserved a budget of 50 million for its gaming department, but was wondering how to spend it.
To be continued...
