Normally, it wouldn't matter if it were just operating normally, since 360 would still take the lion's share of the profits, and then give a small portion to the project team.
But now it's costing him his life.
Xu Menglu actually has a say in who the company will be sold to.
This is somewhat similar to player buying and selling. Although the club is the one receiving the money, the player's own wishes can also play a decisive role.
Ever since.
360 had no choice but to reluctantly contact Xinghuo.
They didn't want to contact Xinghuo, not because they had any issues with Xinghuo, but ultimately it all came down to money.
As a company that has already proven itself in the ACG (Anime, Comics, and Games) sector, Xinghuo is certainly not as eager as Tencent, NetEase, or Bilibili for a new ACG project.
The price cannot be too high.
And it turned out just as they expected.
After making some contact, Xinghuo only offered 5000 million.
Upon hearing this, 360 not only didn't find Xinghuo arrogant, but was also relieved.
In their view.
The offer of 5000 million was nearly half that of Bilibili. According to their communication with the Flashwing team, 3% of the acquisition amount would be given to them as a reward.
Xu Menglu himself also owns 3% of the shares.
Everyone should know how to choose.
It's stable now.
I'm definitely going to take Bilibili's 80 million RMB!
~~~
"What? You're going to Xinghuo?"
"No way! Spark only gave us 50 million!! Are you guys stupid?"
"what!!!"
"I really...you guys are crazy!!"
"You Tell the Story of My Dream Journey"
When 360 looked at this group of people who almost unanimously said they wanted to go to Xinghuo, he just felt that this world was too crazy.
The difference is 3000 million, not 3000 yuan.
360 thinks the creators of the Flashwing team are idiots.
The creators of the Flashwing team even thought 360 was stupid.
Yes, Bilibili spent 1 million yuan, but the problem is that this 1 million yuan doesn't go into our pockets, it goes into 360's pockets!
Even if 3% is allocated as prize money, it would only amount to 240 million.
If the entire company splits the 240 million, how much will be left?
For Xu Menglu personally, his 5%, or 400 million, seems like a lot, but it's really not that much.
After all, Xinghuo also has 250 million, right?
If we disregard money, Bilibili's only advantage is its abundant funding and lack of interference with developers.
But the problem is.
They desperately need technical support right now.
To them, Spark is the company with the strongest ACG (Anime, Comics, and Games) technology in the world.
not to mention.
That's a spark!
Any team that makes anime-style games is aware of Spark's current project-based system.
It can be said.
Looking at the domestic gaming industry.
Those who are most familiar with the Spark Project Team's system are not people inside Spark itself.
Instead, it's a large group of domestic developers.
Many developer forums even have detailed explanations of the system and guides on how to join Spark.
Specifically.
There are two ways to "enter" Spark.
One relatively simple approach is the Spark Program.
All you need to do is submit an application, go through an interview and communication, and pass the project review to join.
The other one is more difficult.
That means adding sparks directly.
For most producers, joining Spark directly is a dream come true.
This is why this situation occurs.
This is because Spark adopts a project team system.
Each project team manages its finances independently. Once launched, as long as it is profitable, not only the project producer but also everyone in the studio can receive a share.
This revenue sharing is definitely not as high as that from operating independently or developing independently.
However, at the same time, this system also avoids something that all developers fear: game piracy.
The company will bear the costs of the game "Bao Si".
The profits from the game will be shared among everyone.
If this mechanism falls into the hands of an incompetent boss, it will be the beginning of the company's collapse.
But in Lin Li's hands, this is an extremely positive mechanism.
Because he was confident in the project.
Moreover, this mechanism is also an important reason why Spark can launch multiple projects at the same time.
People are not just making money for the company, they are also starting their own businesses.
To some extent, the entire Xinghuo Building can also be seen as a co-working space.
It is precisely because of the emergence of this mechanism.
The creators of the Flashwing team chose Spark, even though Spark only offered 50 million.
~~~
360 wants to sell the project to Bilibili.
The company's core members want to dedicate themselves to Spark.
The final decision rested with Xu Menglu.
After all, he was the company founder and the game producer.
But here we are.
Xu Menglu, on the contrary, was conflicted.
Because he is a game producer, he wants to gain absolute power.
On the other hand, he also knew that his current abilities were not enough, and going to Spark was definitely the right choice.
At that time, you can also get guidance from Lin Li.
After achieving success with a project at Spark, whether he stays with Spark or starts his own business, his career path will definitely be smoother.
But, if we go to Xinghuo.
For Xu Menglu, there is another problem...
A problem that's neither too big nor too small.
"Even Umineko is on Spark..."
Xu Menglu and Hai Mao have not gotten along well for a long time.
It all started when Xu Menglu was still making indie games.
At that time, his "Cute Pet Project" often clashed with Yunmu Group's "Bakery Girl" at various exhibitions and competitions.
Xu Menglu, who was still very young at the time, often had "friendly" communication with Yu Zhong.
After several "friendly" communications.
The two production teams then developed a grudge.
Hai Mao and Xu Menglu, who are among the main creators of Mica, also frequently "communicate" at exhibitions.
Xu Menglu felt that the art style of Umineko wasn't "anime-like" enough.
Hai Mao thinks Xu Menglu's mecha design is an "excavator".
In short.
The two established a deep "friendship" when they first entered the industry.
Chapter 327 The Depth of "Friendship"
Both Hai Mao and Xu Menglu felt that the other's game was inferior to their own.
Later, when the first generation of Mobile Suit Girls was launched, Yu Zhong and Hai Mao even brought forward the testing time of Girls' Frontline.
I specifically scheduled it for the same day as Mobile Suit Girl.
This demonstrates the depth of their "friendship".
As time went by, the two matured and were no longer so childish when they met again.
However, if he says a few more words, he will still be sarcastic and sarcastic.
When Hai Mao was leading the independent development of the game at Xinghuo, Xu Menglu, upon hearing the news, even called him to mock him.
Some say that Hai Mao only knows how to rely on a powerful figure for support, unlike him, who can already operate projects independently on his own.
If I go to Xinghuo now, wouldn't I be like a boomerang?
~~~
Xu Menglu glanced at the Spark Carnival that was still playing.
"Damn it, a boomerang it is."
Xu Menglu thought it over and over.
I've decided to go to Xinghuo first, meet with President Lin, and then make a decision.
Xu Menglu is a very proactive person; she does what she says she will do.
That afternoon.
He arrived at Xinghuo still feeling excited after watching the entire global carnival.
When he arrived, he found that the gates of Spark Games were already closed.
I asked the old man at the door and found out that, just like last year, Xinghuo Games had not returned after the annual meeting in order to allow its employees to avoid the Spring Festival travel rush.
Xu Menglu sighed.
Come to think of it, he himself knew he should give his employees two days off in advance.
How could Xinghuo not have a holiday?
really.
When people act impulsively, they don't think.
Thinking of this, Xu Menglu felt a little thirsty.
