I was reborn and stayed in school to lie down. I really don’t want to roll anymore!

Sure enough, the road from starting a business to going public is not easy for anyone.

Jiang Hao himself is lucky and has a vision that is ahead of the times.

Just take the path that is most popular with capital and most in line with the times.

So until the IPO, apart from financial pressure, there was basically no other pressure.

The most difficult step is actually the first step for the Totoro company.

After My Neighbor Totoro went public, Jiang Hao was given a huge amount of funds.

Afterwards, whether it was Haijing’s entrepreneurship or Haoyue Technology’s capital investment, they had actually started a simple life mode.

Recalling the popularity of "Genshin Impact" in later generations, Jiang Hao immediately understood that Mr. Cai in later generations chose to take a gamble.

He still chose to believe in the games he made and invested the company's hot money in "Genshin Impact".

In the end, this game lived up to expectations and became popular all over the world.

The main reason why Jiang Hao went to Shanghai specifically to invest in the studio of Mr. Cai was because of this game.

The decision was made immediately.

"Boss Cai, since there are obstacles to going public, let's not worry about going public for now!"

"The most important thing for a company is its core business. Even if it goes public, it's useless if the games it makes are not outstanding."

"Why don't you just focus on Genshin Impact? I'm very optimistic about your game."

"If you have financial pressure, I can make additional investments to reduce the pressure on your company."

If Jiang Hao were to choose, he would naturally choose the game with his eyes closed.

Maybe the route of going public first will work in the end, but the route of Anxin Games has been verified by his memory.

Jiang Hao never takes such unnecessary risks.

"real!?"

"Boss Jiang, to be honest, I also want to take a chance, but I'm afraid of the pressure from the company and investors."

"I didn't expect you and I had the same idea!"

He saw that Jiang Hao's suggestions and ideas were highly consistent with his inner thoughts.

Mr. Cai, who was sitting on the sofa, was like a little kid. The sadness on his face disappeared immediately and he became very excited.

My emotions suddenly ran high, as if I had been injected with adrenaline and was instantly activated.

"Boss Jiang, my company currently has a team of 400 people developing Genshin Impact. I would like to increase this year's development budget by another 100 million yuan."

"This year, we will invest a total of 1000 million RMB to expand the entire development team to people, and also add a new game engine team."

"I will adapt the game engine myself and try to finish the game this year and launch it at the beginning of next year."

……

After a flurry of words, Mr. Cai seemed to have found an outlet to vent his emotions.

He suddenly vented all the pressure he had been pent up in recently and a series of ideas about the company's future arrangements towards Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao was not annoyed when he saw this. He admired the drive of Mr. Cai.

Even though Mr. Cai came to him today to ask for advice and opinions, he actually already had the answer in his mind.

Even the future development path has been completely determined, so it is no wonder that "Genshin Impact" will eventually be a success.

“Are you under financial pressure?”

"If so, I can invest in you this month."

Jiang Hao was unwilling to miss this great opportunity to continue investing.

Even though the company is now in Series C, its valuation is at a relatively high level.

But this valuation is still several times higher than Jiang Hao’s estimate for miHoYo.

Especially after "Genshin Impact" became really popular, even without going public, the company's dividend income itself is astonishingly high!

“If the team doesn’t expand, the company can continue to rely on the income from old projects.”

"But I still want to expand as planned and improve the quality of the game. The funding gap is probably around 100 million mi."

"OK, no problem!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Hao thought of Brother Lu who started paying attention to investment in the gaming industry this year, and decided to call him along.

Less than two minutes after the call was made, Lu Weiming pushed open his office door.

"Brother Jiang, what kind of investment do you want from me? I'm interested!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Mr. Cai sitting on the sofa and greeted him again.

"Eh~? Mr. Cai, long time no see!"

"Mr. Lu, you came really quickly! Were you nearby just now?"

After one phone call, the person appeared in front of him in less than two minutes, which made Mr. Cai a little suspicious.

"I'm upstairs at Game Science Company. I was just discussing animation production with them!"

"Haha! I didn't expect that you, Mr. Cai, would come from the Magic City today! I'll treat you to a meal later!"

Jiang Hao didn't expect that Brother Lu was upstairs, so he took the teacup and poured a glass of water for Brother Lu.

"Have you been traveling around recently?"

"Well, I learned game production from them. You know what, making this game is much harder than playing it."

"Xiao Feng and his team are really awesome. They have been discussing the animation to be played at the end of the game chapter these days, and they want to find a few animation companies to contract for the production."

Lu Weiming is in high spirits at the moment, and it seems that he has truly taken root in the gaming industry.

As an old World of Warcraft player, my love for online games does give me a natural understanding and advantage in this industry.

Although they will not invest in the development of game companies themselves, venture capital will be more inclined to invest in game companies.

However, Jiang Hao knew that it was more difficult for a game company to develop than an ordinary startup.

"Has the animation company been selected?"

"No! I want to choose a studio that has a personal artistic style."

"Anyway, according to my idea, it would be better for me to acquire two studios and merge them into Youke. I can also do art guidance and art processing on weekdays."

Brother Lu’s idea is always to buy, buy and buy!

He now has a lot of cash on him, which can support his consistent thinking.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about financing."

"Mr. Cai's company is preparing another round of financing. Just the two of us, a total of 100 million US dollars, do you want to add to it?"

...

"no problem!"

Lu Weiming immediately promised to invest when Jiang Hao asked for it.

However, after saying this, he still looked at Mr. Cai with some doubts.

"Mr. Cai, if I remember correctly, isn't MiHoYo applying for a listing?"

"Raising funds again at this time? What about going public?"

In the current circle of gaming companies, Lu Weiming pays more attention than Jiang Hao.

Lu Weiming was naturally well aware of MiHoYo's listing, as the news was public information.

"Brother Lu, Mr. Cai's listing has been delayed. We will probably have to wait until the new game is online before considering the listing."

"If we go public again, we will probably choose Hong Kong stocks or Nasdaq."

Seeing that Mr. Cai looked a little embarrassed, Jiang Hao quickly helped to explain.

With just two simple sentences, Lu Weiming immediately understood the reason and comforted her with a smile.

"It is difficult to go public. If one aspect is not in place, it will be difficult to go public."

"Every game miHoYo has produced is so successful, it might be a good idea to start by polishing the new game!"

"I believe that if the new game is successful, the company's valuation will increase several times."
