Chapter 245

Compared with other fourth-year students in other universities, Qiao Yihui is already good enough.

However, Ji Susu's thinking control proficiency is higher, and the degree of effort is even greater than his.

Compared with Ji Susu, Qiao Yihui has no advantage at all.

With a smile, Qi Lirui pretended to be dissatisfied with the speed of research and development: "Five months is too slow, can it be faster?"

Qiao Yihui frowned and thought for a minute, and gave his ultimate answer: "Expand the team to 15 employees, which can be shortened to April."

Qi Lirui: "Expand it to 30 employees?"

Qiao Yihui shook his head and explained with a wry smile: "Perhaps Ran Xiqian has told you, maybe I haven't told you, from mobile games to web games, I have actually engaged in three rounds of entrepreneurship."

"In the first round of entrepreneurship, I was more idealistic and eager to make technological breakthroughs in bionics and come up with a boutique. However, I overestimated myself. When I was playing the game, I just stayed up late to overcome a difficulty, and I ran into a new one. Three months , The project has always been stagnant in its infancy. Apart from sharpening my technical level, there is no visible progress."

"In the second round of entrepreneurship, I gave up my ideals and admitted that I was not strong, and pragmatically lowered the standards, and made a simple mobile game. In just one month, this game passed Zhiyu's review and was put on the smart operating system. Unexpectedly, the market gave me a head start again. No one player agrees with my shoddy works. I only sold 133 copies under the one-yuan fee download mode. Hehe, I worked hard for one month’s work and only sold 133 yuan. Not enough money for instant noodles I stay up late."

"The failure of the first two rounds of entrepreneurship made me realize that entrepreneurship is not easy. Every shortcoming can lead to the collapse of the entire project. Since then, I have set my mindset and made up for the lack of project management and other deficiencies, and humbly consulted classmates and friends who have succeeded. , Free help to observe the actual operation of the team up close, and then try to start the third round of entrepreneurship. The third round of entrepreneurship still failed, but compared with the previous two rounds of ignorance, I clearly know where I went wrong and what What are the shortcomings. I believe that as long as these shortcomings can be made up, the fourth round of entrepreneurship will surely usher in success."

"Back to the topic of shortening the development time, it is not a simple math problem. 15 employees in April and 30 employees in two months are completely different things. Project management has a critical path argument, and critical path activities continue. Time determines the length of the project. During project development, some paths can accumulate people to speed up the progress, while some paths cannot speed up the progress through numbers. The efficiency of three programmers is not higher than that of one programmer."

"Fifteen employees, enough!"

"Thirty employees can certainly speed up the progress a bit, but the labor costs they have paid are far higher than the time benefits of speeding up the progress."

Anyone who has really led the team can clearly understand that there is no absolute coefficient ratio between the number of people and the progress. Qiao Yihui's remarks seem to be informative and sincere, but in fact there is a little emotional ridicule that Qi Lirui is an ignorant girl with money in her pocket. However, Qiao Yihui got Qi Lirui wrong. Qi Lirui asked about the time of the project, just like Qiao Yihui in mind, but to test whether Qiao Yihui's project management ability is trustworthy.

In other words, Qiao Yihui is a newcomer in the entrepreneurial world, and Qi Lirui is a newcomer in the angel investment world, and both of them have relatively quiet jobs.

Newcomers are newcomers after all, and their words and deeds are full of jerky.

Qi Lirui judged that Qiao Yihui’s team is likely to be trusted based on hearsay experience, and immediately began to ask the price: "How much do you want?"

Qiao Yihui's lion said, "One million yuan."

Qi Lirui: "Too many."

Qiao Yihui: "I can give you 50% of the shares."

Qi Lirui: "There are too many."

What Qi Lirui wants to do is to invest rather than start a business. The purpose is that I pay for your work. In this case, investors cannot hold too much equity, lest the entrepreneur’s project becomes an investor’s project. Because the motivation of the entrepreneur team often depends on their shareholding ratio, if the shareholding ratio is small, they will have a great probability of germinating the idea of ​​"this is working for you". The reason why an entrepreneur chooses to start a business is mostly because he doesn't want to work for someone else. He is unwilling to work for the old boss, and naturally he is unwilling to work for more unfamiliar investors.

Qi Lirui only needs 15% to 30% equity.

You want to give more, I don't want it either.

The more equity you give, the more I suspect that the so-called entrepreneurial project is a money-swindling trap.

At the same time, one million yuan investment is too much.

Summarizing all Tencent stocks, Chunqiu search stocks and other investments, Qi Lirui's assets that can be realized instantly are only about 13 million yuan. The risk of starting a business is extremely high, and the risk of angel investment is also extremely high. An average investment of ten projects can achieve one, which is a very good result. Qi Lirui did not dare to expect good results. She set a limit for herself with a lower success rate of 5%, hoping to invest in 20 projects and be lucky enough to find one. In this way, 13 million yuan of assets are allocated to 20 projects. After deducting the basic survival needs and the cost of a comeback, an average investment of 500,000 yuan per project is more appropriate.

Qi Lirui was afraid of Qiao Yihui's transfer of 50% equity, and felt that the investment of one million yuan was too much, so the meeting was temporarily shelved.

Starting a business is not easy, and investing is also not easy. In addition to the high failure rate threshold, how to supervise entrepreneurs to use their money in practice also tests the ability of investors. After transferring a sum of money to entrepreneurs, don't care about anything, eat, drink, play and wait for the equity appreciation to double. Such beautiful things only exist in fairy tales without darkness. Investors who really do such innocent operations will almost always be wiped out by the "entrepreneur team" and dumped a debt; even if the entrepreneur team is reliable and eventually succeeds, the entrepreneur team and other investors will use various Legal loopholes tore up investment contracts that seemed perfect at first.

Investors and entrepreneurs come together for profit.

If it is profit, there will be sordid.

Those who come together for benefit will inevitably part ways for benefit.

Qi Lirui has not yet decided whether to abandon the Qiao Yihui project, and decisively borrowed the usual methods of investors that he heard to delay the progress of the negotiation. Qi Lirui doesn't say that she is not optimistic about the whole project, but is a critical attitude to delve into some trivial details to hang Qiao Yihui, so that Qiao Yihui can neither get the money nor give up hope in a short time.

This concludes the casual coffee cafe investment talks.

Farewell to Ran Qianqian, Ji Susu, Qiao Yihui, and Xu Qiping. Qi Lirui started other contacts to ask people in the circle to investigate the prospects of web games and the actual cost of developing a web game.

Summarizing the relevant information, Qi Lirui came to a conclusion more than ten days later:

First, web games do have excellent profit prospects. Not only did the turnover in 2009 doubled compared with the turnover in 2008, but also people in the circle are more optimistic to predict that the turnover in 2010 will continue to double as compared with that in 2009. In the web game circle, there are even some people who are full of hope to discuss whether the web game industry can produce phenomenal works like "The Spring and Autumn of the Ten Kingdoms", and whether it can be used to produce a giant like the Chunqiu family and the richest man in China like Wei Dongsheng.

The second point, although one million yuan is relatively reasonable, it is also Qiao Yihui's lion's open mouth. Considering the average salary in 2009, a pure R&D product, even the most expensive APRG web game, would only cost about 1 million yuan from R&D to operation. If Qiao Yihui and the core team members are willing to not receive a salary or a low salary, they will certainly be able to further reduce costs. Think more optimistically, if Qiao Yihui gets Qi Lirui's one million yuan investment, his project will be able to reach the end; conversely, think darkly, Qiao Yihui and his core staff are not willing to pay a penny, all relying on Qi Lirui's investment.

Obviously, investment is not the end, and there will be tedious interest games in the future.

Qi Lirui hesitated.

In order to reduce losses, Qi Lirui decided to jointly invest in Qiao Yihui. During this period of thought, Qi Lirui thought of her best friend Ginguo. After dialing Ginguo’s phone and chatting about the past for a while, Qi Lirui told the truth: “I recently worked part-time in angel investment, and I encountered a good project a few days ago. It is also a coincidence that the other party is actually Wei Dongsheng’s classmate in Wuping Yigao...”

After listening patiently to Qi Lirui's long-winded introduction of the background, Ginguo briefly summarized Qi Lirui's thoughts: "Do you want to invest in web games?"

Qi Lirui: "Yes."

Ginkgo: "Work is not going well?"

Although the remuneration of the Personnel Relations Department is not good, after all, it is searching for memorial archways in the Spring and Autumn Period, and some people are actively applying for employment. According to the practice of the last two years, only a bachelor's degree graduate from a college or university can hope to be employed in the personnel relations department. Qi Lirui graduated from Hedong University of Technology, a second university. If there is no ginkgo to walk through the back door, she has no hope of entering Spring and Autumn Search as a fresh graduate. Of course, Ginguo also indirectly knows that Qi Lirui has a small share of wealth and wealth. In this case, it is indeed difficult for Qi Lirui to afford a monthly salary of 4,500 yuan after tax.

Ginkgo understands this emotion.

For fear of Ginguo’s misunderstanding, Qi Lirui quickly explained: “The work is okay. But, you know, I just can’t stay free. I work part-time in stocks during school, and I want to find something to spend my spare time after work. I became obsessed with angel investing."

Ginguo did not ask any more details, and the topic turned back to investment: "How to invest?"

Qi Lirui: "The other party wants 1 million yuan. I and other friends have subscribed for 800,000 yuan. There are still 200,000 vacancies."

Ginkgo: "Should I vote for 200,000 yuan?"

Qi Lirui: "You can do as much as you want. If you want to invest less, I will find other friends; if you want to invest more, I will persuade some friends who have already subscribed to withdraw."

Ginkgo: "Is the other party reliable?"

Qi Lirui: "I inquired from the side. The other party is not a liar, but someone who really wants to do things. I can't say whether he will succeed in the future, but he is very motivated and down-to-earth, and his attitude is very correct. It is worthy of my trust. Moreover, in order to control the loss. , 1 million yuan investment, I plan to arrive in the account three times. The first batch, first give him 300,000 yuan start-up capital, to see if his project is executable and whether it can make a prototype within the estimated time; the second batch, verification After his ability to do things, we will replenish him with 400,000 yuan of funds; the third batch of 300,000 yuan will be reserved for the end of the project. If the product prospects are better, we can also take advantage of the opportunity to expand the share of interests.
