Chapter 292 This Game Is Poisonous!

This morning, quite a number of people went to work with panda eyes, and Happy Farm reached nearly 2 million users overnight, including a considerable number of Internet practitioners.

All Internet peers try Happy Farm with the mentality of research and understanding, but what they didn't expect is that this game is so easy to addicted, the cartoon farm style, the childish way of growing vegetables and stealing vegetables They all seem to have powerful brainwashing abilities. Once they play, they have no idea what purpose they are here for. There is only one thought in their minds: "I want to steal food! You bastards are not allowed to steal my food!"

Li Mu knew very well that the popularity of Happy Farm had not really begun. The most awesome stage of the game was when the users had established a huge network of contacts. There were many uncles and aunts in their 40s and 50s who had to set the alarm clock at night. When they get up to steal and collect vegetables, there are many girlfriends who blame their boyfriends for not picking up the vegetables in time and break up. Even the most interesting thing is that the subordinates are fired for stealing the boss's vegetables...

In short, this game is quite magical, and even more miracles will be created in the next few months.

President Li is addicted, Tan Yaocheng is addicted, and Baidu's technical talents are addicted. Similar situations have happened in almost every Internet company in China.

Even when many employees arrive at the company, they will quietly open Happy Farm, go in from time to time to steal a dish or something, and their addiction index is full of stars.

Mr. Li called his assistant and asked him to notify the senior management that the meeting would be held in ten minutes, but what he did not expect was that the fixed size of eight senior management personnel is still half of the people who have not arrived!

This is really unexpected, the company is in a stage of rapid development from top to bottom, under normal circumstances. Senior management must not arrive so late.

Later, the assistant feedback again: "Today, a small number of people in the company's technical department are also late, and these employees have already arrived. It seems that their mental state is not very good. It seems that they stayed up all night collectively last night."

Mr. Li could not help frowning. Stay up all night collectively? Are the rest of the company playing Happy Farm too?

When he thought that he was late because he was too late to play Happy Farm, Mr. Li felt that this was a bit embarrassing!

After waiting for a few minutes, Tan Yaocheng hurried to the company. As soon as he arrived at the office, he listened to his subordinate's report that Mr. Li had found him. He hurriedly left his bag and rushed to Mr. Li's office. As soon as he entered the door, he said apologetically, "I'm sorry. Mr. Li. Overslept."

Mr. Li looked at him and said, "Did you oversleep? I think you played too late last night, right?"

Tan Yaocheng smiled awkwardly,

Said: "It's a bit late to play, but the main thing is to study and study."

Mr. Li didn't care and smiled: "I played very late yesterday, and I just played the Happy Farm. It is indeed a very innovative and thoughtful game."

Tan Yaocheng nodded and said, "Yes, I've been researching this game last night. The more I research, the more I think this game is amazing. It's a genius idea, who would have thought of such a mentally retarded and simple game, and it's easy to play. To be able to get in so quickly. It's hard to stop."

Mr. Li looked at Tan Yaocheng's obvious dark circles and asked curiously, "Lao Tan, if you were asked to evaluate this game objectively, what do you think of this game?"

Tan Yaocheng thought about it and said seriously: "Damn, this game is poisonous!"

"Poisonous?" President Li frowned.

Tan Yaocheng said: "It's like an addictive drug, which makes people addicted to playing. It always has a potential force that forces you to keep focusing and refocusing. If you harvest late, your Most of the crops will be stolen, if you plant the seeds late. You will level up slower than other friends, and your ranking in the friend ranking will continue to decline. If you don't steal vegetables and help at any time, you will In terms of experience, gold coins and props, they are all slower than others, so the pressure of competition is always there, and the motivation to push you forward is quite abundant, it is always poisonous, and you can't stop!"

After listening to Mr. Li, he sighed: "I feel similar to you. This game seems to have magic power, and it is difficult to get rid of its attraction."

After saying this, President Li shook his head helplessly: "Li Mu, this kid is not easy, it's not easy, judging from the fact that he released this game, he dug a hole for us early on, this game is a post bar The key to taking off is that he tricked us out in advance, making it clear that he didn't want to take us to play."

"Yeah, it's not kind." Tan Yaocheng also smacked his lips again and again: "This game is estimated to be popular all over the Internet soon. At that time, I don't know how much the valuation of Muye Technology can reach."

Mr. Li said: "It depends on what they are going to do with the game. The profitability of the game itself should not be too strong. The most important thing is how it transforms."

Tan Yaocheng asked: "Then what do you think is the next development direction of Li Mu?"

President Li shook his head: "I don't know, and I can't guess it. Li Mu's mind is full of whimsy and intrigues, and most people really can't understand him."

Tan Yaocheng said: "If this game is completely popular, the number of users of Tieba will definitely increase again and again. This kid will probably become the most capable of controlling users among domestic Internet people."

Mr. Li agreed: "He is very good at manipulating others, especially users. His platform has a very strong ability to assimilate users' subtle assimilation."

Tan Yaocheng said: "Or we will also gather people from the technical department to hold a meeting and let them evaluate the time and cost of developing the same type of game, and we will also integrate this game on the search engine."

Mr. Li said with a depressed expression: "Our product viscosity is too poor, and even registered users are pitiful. It is easy to develop this kind of game, but it is too difficult to do it. Meaning, it will lead to infamy, you know how Li Mu treats his competitors, if you pirate and imitate his way, how can you still be good?"

Tan Yaocheng nodded and felt a little sighed. If the company firmly seized Muye Technology, the five million invested in Li Mu would be the most successful investment in the company's history, no one. If the game of Happy Farm works properly . At least an additional valuation of more than 200 million can be added to Tieba. By then, Muye Technology can easily be valued at over 500 million. You must know that when the company invested in Muye Technology, the valuation for him was only 50 million. This is a tenfold difference! Fingers crossed it's only been a few months?

After thinking about it carefully, Tan Yaocheng said: "Li Mu deceived us at the beginning, probably because he wanted to buy low and sell high. At the beginning, the 50 million valuation put us in ten points. It is estimated that he is a little unbalanced and wants to take our ten points. Check them out and then sell them at a high price, or let's communicate with Li Mu again to find out what to say. If we want to invest in the B round of Muye Technology, what is Li Mu's ideal valuation. "

Mr. Li dragged his chin and thought for a long time. Ever since he realized that he was trapped by Li Mu, he has been hurting the 10% stake in Tieba that he let go. If there is a chance, of course he would like to re-invest in Muye Technology. Now Muye Technology is seeing There will be another wave of upward momentum. If you really want to buy tickets and get on the train again, you have to hurry up.

So President Li said to Tan Yaocheng, "Go and organize the company's senior management and technical staff first. There will be a meeting in the conference room in ten minutes. I will give Li Mu a call."

Tan Yaocheng said: "Okay, I'll organize a meeting first."

When Tan Yaocheng went out, President Li took out his mobile phone and called Li Mu.

Received a call from Mr. Li. Li Mu wasn't curious at all, he greeted him as soon as he came up and asked, "Robin, why do you have time to call me?"

President Li smiled and said, "I'm calling to congratulate you. You have created a game like Happy Farm. It seems that no one can stop the rise of Tieba."

Li Mu said humbly, "Robin, you flatter me too much. I'm just a casual and fun little game, and I haven't even found a profit model yet."

Mr. Li said: "Yes, your game is still unable to compare with the legendary end game in terms of profit margins. Their second card costs more than 30 yuan per person per month."

Speaking, Mr. Li suddenly thought of a question. He said: "Why don't you sell chemical fertilizers on Happy Farm, just that ordinary chemical fertilizer. I'll buy 100 for a pack of one dollar."

Li Mu smiled and said, "You're trying to kill me, robin. You start charging and buying props as soon as you go online. Isn't this pushing users out of the door? Don't say I'm not ready to sell game props yet, even if I sell them, at least After a month, the most important task for Muye Technology during this period is to support users."

Mr. Li said a little embarrassedly: "I'm just joking with you. Your game is really fun, and the props are very attractive. If the props are sold online, I will definitely support them with practical actions."

Li Mu said: "That's good, I'll be the first to inform you when we actually launch paid items."

Seeing that the politeness was almost over, Mr. Li laughed and turned the topic to the point he really wanted to talk about: "By the way, Li Mu, you should be short of money now, right? Do you have any plans for round B? Do we want to continue? Frontline, I will lead the B round of Makino Technology.

Li Mu said with a smile: "The B round has not been considered for the time being. When I start thinking about the B round, I will definitely consider it seriously."

Mr. Li heard that this was Li Mu's polite words, and he didn't say any more.

What Li Mu didn't expect was that in the following time, his phone was almost bombed by people from all walks of life.

Xu Jiaming called to say congratulations. According to him, the game has become a phenomenon in only ten hours. All Yanjing capital companies are meeting today to discuss the game's impact on Muye. The impact of technology valuation, and for the future impact of this game on Muye Technology as a whole, more and more venture capital companies are interested in Muye Technology and start looking for relationships everywhere in order to establish connections with Muye Technology.

After hearing this, Li Mu felt a big head. Right now, he was not ready to face various capitals and conduct various negotiations. What's more, he already had an idea in his heart to bring Chen Ze in as the backer of Muye Technology. It’s not time to openly discuss financing with venture capital institutions in the whole society.

So Li Mu said to Xu Jiaming, "Let's have a meal together in two days. Doesn't your Mingcheng Capital want to invest in Muye Technology? Let's talk about this in detail."

Xu Jiaming was very excited after hearing this, and he blurted out, "You can set the exact time, I'm free at any time!"

Li Mu said, "I've been a little busy these days. I'll contact you after I'm busy."

Xu Jiaming said immediately, "No problem, I'll wait for your news."

After hanging up Xu Jiaming's phone, another call came in. The caller was a woman. When I came up, I introduced myself: "Hello Mr. Li, I am Linda Wu, the investment manager of Red Shirt Capital China Region, and I want to talk to you. Make an appointment, invite you to have a meal and talk, I wonder if you have time?"

Li Mu didn't expect that even an internationally renowned company like Red Shirt would focus on Muye Technology. He was surprised, but said, "I'm sorry, I've been very busy these days. Let's talk about it during this time."

After sending such a famous venture capital institution, another phone call followed. Gao Sheng's investment director also wanted to meet Li Mu, but Li Mu refused for the same reason.

One morning, Li Mu received calls from at least eight well-known venture capital firms at home and abroad. They all had the same goal: to ask Li Mu to meet and talk about capital cooperation.

But Li Mu was not moved at all. He knew too well how these old-fashioned VCs did things. If they came in, they would definitely make some monsters, or they would try to increase the shareholding ratio and dilute the rights of major shareholders, or two or three. After 20 years, he wanted to sell the company at a satisfactory price, and then cash out and leave. Therefore, Li Mu decided that when he was not strong enough, he would try his best not to cooperate with these old-fashioned venture capitalists.

...

In the afternoon, Li Mu's phone was still bombed.

People from many Internet companies don't know where to get their phones. Some people call and they are almost familiar, some people call to seek various cooperation, and some even directly seek authorization from Happy Farm.

It was Lianzhong World, the boss of the advanced online game platform who sought the authorization of Happy Farm. Lianzhong saw the super stickiness of the game Happy Farm, so when Happy Farm was online for less than 15 hours, he made up his mind to make the game. It is ported to its own platform.

The relevant person in charge found Li Mu's contact information, called Li Mu directly, and even billed more than 500,000 authorization fees over the phone. The price is already amazing.

Li Mu directly rejected the other party's request on the phone. His wording was very direct: "Muye Technology does not consider the authorization of exporting Happy Farm for the time being." (To be continued.)
