Chapter 351: Character Determines Destiny

Chen Chuanqi was just a little stunned when he returned to Qingming with a smile and said, "Mr. Bolin is serious?"

"Of course, I am very optimistic about the prospects of legendary literature. Although original literature is an emerging market, it has unlimited potential. If possible, I am very willing to invest."

Arthur, who was not directly rejected, seemed to have seen the opportunity to get involved. He knew that the legendary literature in the future was packaged and sold to Fat Penguin as a whole, and was reorganized and listed by Fat Penguin, and he was built into a group with a market value of 35 billion yuan. Since he had this opportunity to break into a nail in advance, he would naturally not let it go.

"Since you are so sincere, we will not refuse people from thousands of miles away. You can consider this matter." Chen Chuanqi pondered for a moment, agreed with a smile.

Chen Chuanqi first saw the value of IP, so he created legendary literature with the starting point as the core in 2004. Now, legendary literature once accounted for more than 70% of the online literature market.

However, since the acquisition of Qidian in 2004, Legendary Literature has not only suffered losses for many years, but also has not had a good idea of ​​using original copyright. It has also made two additional investments in it, adding 10 million yuan in 2005 and 100 million yuan in 2006, although the value of Qidian can be fully affirmed.

However, he has been losing money and spending money without profit, which has caused many complaints within the Legend Group, which has begun to decline. Recently, Legend Literature has even issued a new loan report, hoping to borrow another 200 million yuan from the head office, which has caused many differences within the group. He is having a headache. It’s not that Legend Group can’t afford the money, but that it continues to make money like this and cannot see the profits. He cannot explain to the shareholders. After all, Legend Group is a listed company now.

The others who heard the conversation between the two had different expressions and different moods. Some were happy that they had new capital injections, but some were also troubled and repulsed by adding more power to legendary literature.

Among the people who felt the headache, Boss Wu was the one who looked at his opponent, Legendary Literature, and found that the other party looked calm. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. To be honest, the initial willingness to let Legend acquire the starting point was to hope that under the promotion of Legend, the starting point would be realized that under the promotion of Legend, the starting point would be expected to be realized.

However, the structure of legendary literature is too complicated. From the beginning, it was not a business group that grew naturally, but a sector based on Chen Zhiqi's expected strategic layout and combined through capital actions.

In fact, over the years, the Qidian team has repeatedly fought against the unified will of Legend Group. At first, Chen Chuanqi intends to try Qidian for free, but gave up because of strong advice and opposition. Later, when the company was promoted to connect to the Legend Pass system, he also tried his best to resist. However, Chen Chuanqi finally put pressure on himself to implement it.

There are more group interests tied to Qidian and many business companies. For example, if you previously connected to Legend Online's billing system and payment system, Qidian had to pay a high fee of 20% of revenue. In addition, wireless revenue also scored 20% to Legend Literature's wireless department, which would be strange if you don't lose money for years.

More importantly, Legendary Literature is not the only literary website of Qidian. The management considers the overall interests rather than a certain one, so there are great differences...

Arthur naturally didn't care what others thought. As long as Chen Chuanqi agreed, it would be enough. Arthur also figured out why Chen Chuanqi did not reject his investment proposal. Since the other party had the idea of ​​listing Legendary Literature, it was necessary to find a suitable investor. Arthur Bolin's identity and wealth magnitude are both good choices.

While becoming popular in entertainment, the unconventional piece of original literary content also has the precious value of copyright resources and mobile Internet entrances, and everyone is coveted.

Arthur really attaches great importance to it. Although he also takes certain risks, the development path of legendary literature is not smooth. In fact, legend has a chance to turn legendary literature into a scale of tens of billions, but due to various internal frictions, he only focused on layout and ignored execution, etc., and he played a good hand of cards badly.

Speaking of which, Legend is in the right direction, but one reason is that it goes too early, and the other reason is that it goes too fast. Because it is urgent to get profits, Legend has not been able to persist in each direction for a long time. Once a project does not gain profits in the short term, it immediately changes lanes and starts again from a new project. This leads to the fact that employees have not yet adapted to the previous project and invested in the next project. In addition, the time spent on continuous switching of roads is extremely costly.

It is precisely because of the lack of this patience and persistence that leads to the decline in the later stage. Arthur also hopes that his entry can change something slightly. Even if it cannot be changed, this investment is cost-effective for him. At worst, he will wait for the day he is acquired. Now the funds he invests will be compensated several times.

Moreover, he can get the moon first, get some famous IPs in the later stage first, hold them in his own hands, and kick them in the film and television industry in the Celestial Empire...

Financing and investment are by no means something that can be accomplished in just a few words. This involves many aspects of negotiation and compromise, and both parties need to send teams to contact and negotiate.

Of course, Arthur and Chen Chuanqi agreed on the tone of cooperation, so the rest would be left to their respective hands to deal with. Because of this relationship, the relationship between the two parties became closer and the atmosphere became more harmonious.

At noon, Chen Zhiqi invited Arthur to the Rongfu Banquet, a high-end private kitchen restaurant hidden in the villa group of Sinan Mansion in the Magic City. According to Chen Zhiqi's introduction, only private customization is made without menus. It can be said that it is the unique Gaobig Smi restaurant in the Magic City.

A business banquet is decent, and a family banquet is friendship.

In the words of the Rong Family Chef, "Eat a table of dishes with stories in a house with stories." However, it has to be said that Arthur felt a kind of luxury and elegance from environmental hardware, food, service and other software.

With the help of the wine table culture, Arthur also came into contact with the most real side of Chen Chuanqi, the warmth. The two talked the most was family matters, not wealth and business.

During this meal, the guests and guests were having fun. After the meal, the two sat at the tea table, drank tea, and talked about the topic of games. When they knew that Arthur had a mobile game studio and developed two mobile games that were popular, they were not very interested. In the subsequent chat, Arthur also discovered a problem that had troubled him for many years.

Why did Legend’s game business fail so quickly? After some communication, he learned the reason. In fact, Chen Zhiqi looked down on "Legend", but looked down on any game. He really has no feelings for this game career, and games are just a tool for making money.

"The original intention of online games to make me a mainstream figure in society is contrary to me. To be honest, online games cannot carry my dreams. I want to transform and want the society to recognize my value..."

After parting with Chen Chuanqi, sitting in the car returning, Arthur kept thinking about Chen Chuanqi's words in his mind. Whether it was a drunken word or not, this should be the other party's truth. He looked down on the game, perhaps it was because the game brought too much pressure to him. When people equate "Cheng Chuanqi" with online games, he was the culprit in the eyes of the Chinese society and parents.

This can also explain why he spent money to build an entertainment empire and made him rich. The group's main game business was thrown aside and let him fend for himself.

Arthur couldn't help but feel regretful. His personality determines his destiny. The other party is not a real entrepreneur, but more like an idealist who has never experienced the sufferings of the world.
