My Age of Investment

As soon as Xia Jingxing finished speaking, Xu Bo suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to the former, "Mr. Xia, please give me some pointers, I am very grateful."

This scene stunned Andrew and Liu Xiaoduo who were sitting next to them.

Although Xu Bo was also very nervous when he spoke just now, it could be seen that he might have a certain amount of psychological pressure facing a big man like Xia Jingxing, but on the whole he was neither humble nor overbearing.

But this sudden bow destroyed this impression at once, and it was easy to be looked down upon.

Xu Bo has been able to get to today step by step, so he naturally has the survival wisdom of a small person.

He knows what big people like, and when it's time to bend over and show some humility, he never hesitates.

Maybe when the big man is happy, he can reward him with whatever he wants, which is enough for him to enjoy for a lifetime.

Xia Jingxing was also a little surprised, he kept talking, why did he suddenly bow.

To be honest, he may have met hundreds of entrepreneurs, and most of them have their own arrogance, and they can't say compliments, let alone bow.

The moment Xu Bo just bowed to him, he suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling of refreshment in his heart.

This kind of flattery is actually very low-level, and it is also disdainful.

But just because no one is doing it, someone suddenly does it, and it may reap miraculous results.

Xu Bo has no education and no culture, so he bowed to express his gratitude, and paired with a simple smile, it fits the personality very well and is also very confusing.

"Hey, what are you doing, Mr. Xu, we're just communicating with each other."

Xia Jingxing waved his hand, and looked at Xu Bo with a much gentler gaze, with a hint of appreciation.

In terms of poor background and low academic qualifications, Xu Bo may be number one among all the top Internet tycoons in China.

The protagonist of this kind of Long Aotian-style story does not kill the Quartet at the beginning like in Zhong, but suffers from hardship like Gou Jian.

Xu Bo bowed his head, spoke sincerely, and behaved very docilely. In the eyes of investors, he was definitely a man to control.

After Xu Bo sat down, Xia Jingxing said slowly, "You know Xiaonei, right?"

Xu Bo nodded fiercely, "Of course I know, this is the fastest growing Internet company in China in the past two years."

Xia Jingxing looked at Xu Bo with a smile, "Xiaonei.com plans to form a game team and is looking for suitable talents everywhere."

Xu Bo's heart suddenly turned cold. He always thought that Xia Jingxing wanted to invest in them, but now that he heard this tone, he wanted to recruit them.

That won't work!

He is tired of working life, and the games he develops must be his own decisions.

Xia Jingxing observed Xu Bo's expression while talking. The latter's expression changed quickly, and it was fleeting, but he still captured it.

So Xia Jingxing decided not to be devious again. He had almost understood Xu Bo's situation and the current situation of the team by insinuating, and it was time for a showdown.

"The current valuation of Xiaonei is close to US$1 billion. With the expansion of the game business and the increase of users of Xiaonei itself, its valuation will continue to rise.

We have reserved 10% stock options for the management team. The game department is an important development direction of Xiaonei.com in the next stage. If you are the person in charge of this game, I will not hesitate to reward stock options.

You should know the valuation of Facebook, right? "

Xu Bo nodded, "I heard that the valuation is more than 10 billion U.S. dollars, the world's most valuable unlisted Internet company."

President Xia Jing breathed out, "That's right, in my mind, Xiaonei will reach this point sooner or later.

If you are the person in charge of the game business, even if you only get 1% of the options, you are an Internet upstart worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Or based on the current valuation of nearly 1 billion US dollars, the value of 1% option is also nearly 100 million yuan. "

Xu Bo swallowed when he heard that Xia Jingxing casually used "100 million" as the unit, this is a number that he dare not dream of.

But in Xia Jingxing's mouth, 100 million is like a dollar, his tone is flat, and he doesn't care at all.

Xia Jingxing carefully scrutinized Xu Bo's expression, knowing that the other party was a little moved,

The corners of his mouth are slightly raised, but in fact he is still the same old way, drawing cakes.

The valuation of Xiaonei is actually more than 600 million U.S. dollars, and it is a bit inflated, which overdraws the imagination of the next year or two.

But in his mouth, that is nearly 1 billion U.S. dollars, and the next step is to reach a valuation of 10 billion U.S. dollars.

The 10% option pool is not an exaggeration. As long as Xu Bo runs the game business well, it is not a problem at all to give him a 1% option pool to increase the company's valuation by several billion dollars.

This is also a reality. If you want to get much money, you must create ten times, or even dozens of times, the benefits for the company.

For Xu Bo, he really valued the other party's talent.

Thinking of bringing this person to Xiaonei, developing "Shenwu", and completely exploiting the value, it can create billions of dollars in revenue.

As for whether to retire honorably or continue to shine for the company, it depends on Xu Bo's own performance.

Xu Bo's net worth, or the valuation of Duoyi Network, is completely supported by the game "Shenwu".

And "Shenwu" got its development inspiration from "Fantasy Westward Journey".

Xu Bo is the main planner of "Fantasy Westward Journey", and he plagiarized himself, which is easy to do.

But then again, "Fantasy Westward Journey" has been living on its laurels for more than ten years, and the derived "Shenwu" has also been lying on its laurels for many years, propping up Xu Bo's worth of 30 billion.

That is to say, in Xu Bo's life, in a real sense, he only made one game, which made him and two companies successful.

It is said that he is talented, but he only made one game.

He has no talent to be him. One game has two sets of skins, and he has spent more than ten years.

To engage in this kind of skin-changing game, it would be impossible without Xu Bo.

At this moment, Xu Bo was extremely conflicted. On the one hand, he didn't want to work for others, and wanted to gain the independence to develop games, and on the other hand, the cake drawn by Xia Jingxing was too tempting.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xu Bo replied: "Mr. Xia, thank you for your love. I still want to start my own company to make games."

Xia Jingxing frowned slightly, Xu Bo's bid was different from other bids.

In other words, Xu Bo is the target. It is not difficult to recruit this person and his small team into the company to create "Shenwu".

Like other bids, if he wants to absorb it into Xiaonei, he may suffer from indigestion and even lead to failure.

Xu Bo is different. After developing "Shenwu", his mission has basically been completed.

But the other party was unwilling to join Facebook, and his idea of ​​squeezing out the value of the other party's use fell through.

"why?"

Xia Jingxing looked at Xu Bo calmly, "If you want the independent development rights of the game, there is no problem at all.

Xiaonei can support you to set up a studio without interfering with your team's creation.

In the studio, everything about the creative direction is up to you.

Xiaonei will provide financial, human and marketing support.

I actually understand that talented creators like you all hope that your works will not be disturbed by external factors, and it is best to create according to your ideas.

This is with me, no problem at all!

Many foreign game studios are like this. The working environment is relaxed and pleasant, and the creative thinking is not subject to any restrictions. This is also the basis for the creation of excellent game works. "

Xu Bo smiled, "President Xia, I didn't expect you to know so much about the game industry."

Xia Jingxing waved his hand, "It's not that I have a special understanding, it's just superficial knowledge, what I advocate is to leave professional matters to professional people.

You can look at Xiaonei, Tudou, Ganji... Envision Capital has invested in a large number of Internet companies and basically does not interfere with their daily business activities.

But when they need it, we'll do it.

For example, the Campus Singer Contest, which became popular across the country this year, was facilitated by Envision Capital. "

Xia Jingxing's blueprint for the future is beautiful, but Xu Bo always feels that he doesn't feel very safe.

Fatty Ding exploited him for several years, allowing him to thoroughly see through the virtues of capitalists.

In addition, he feels that his education and culture are not high, and he is unlikely to follow the route of a professional manager.

What he is most worried about is being used by the capitalists again to develop a successful game, kick him aside, and then it will be too late to cry.

He has heard a famous saying: When the birds are gone, the good bow will be hidden, the cunning rabbit will die, and the lackey will cook.

Xu Bo looked at Xia Jingxing, scratched his head and smiled innocently, "Mr. Xia, do you think this is okay? You invest in us, and we will cooperate unconditionally in any activities that Xiaonei needs to do."

Xia Jingxing felt that he had already overestimated Xu Bo enough, but in fact he still underestimated him.

How could it be so easy to become a top rich man from an absolute grassroots.

In addition, he remembered that in his previous life, he seemed to be Duoyi invested by Jinshan, Xu Bo had a certain reputation, and he had no shortage of capital to praise him.

There is no way to swallow it all, so try to eat a mouthful.

After figuring it out, Xia Jingxing was no longer obsessed with setting Xu Bo up, and glanced at Andrew, "Let's do this, Andrew, talk to Mr. Xu to see how much money they need, and if it's appropriate, support them."

After briefly explaining to Andrew, Xia Jingxing looked at Xu Bo again, "Mr. Xu, you are a person with dreams. I hope we can have a happy cooperation."

After speaking, Xia Jingxing took Liu Xiaoduo and left quickly.

Looking at the back who left without delay, Xu Bo began to worry about gains and losses again. Did he choose the wrong one?
