Mo Li took another close look at the photo of the other person, and finally came to the conclusion—they were too alike!
"I was just about to buy this studio, let's call and see what's up."
Mo Li pulled out his phone and dialed the contact information provided by the system.
"Du..."
The phone was answered quickly, and a mature, calm, and elegant voice came from the other end.
Mo Li's pupils constricted, truly...even the voice was the same!!
"Hello? Who is this?"
Mo Li quickly regained his composure, paused for a second before going straight to the point: "I heard your studio needs investment?"
With these words, You Lan, who had intended to hang up the phone, paused slightly.
She was surprised, could anyone really be willing to invest in her run-down studio?
"Hello, sir, may I ask who you are?"
"My name is Mo Li, I am a game enthusiast, and I recently have an idea for making a game, but lack the manpower."
"I accidentally saw information about your studio, and I tried out the game 'Save the Girl.' Although the gameplay is not very good, it is obvious that your team is very dedicated."
Mo Li's words, neither belittling nor particularly praising their studio, made You Lan think better of him.
She was very aware that the games produced by her studio were indeed not ideal.
But it was indeed something the sisters in the studio had poured their hearts into.
Unfortunately, the results were very bad, and attracting investment was almost impossible.
As a result, the studio would likely close down soon, and the game 'Save the Girl,' which they had poured all their energy into, would be shut down.
This was something they all didn't want to see.
Now, finally someone with an intention to invest appeared, and she was still a bit hopeful.
But whether to accept investment or not, they still needed to discuss it in person.
"Sir, if you have time, we can schedule a meeting to discuss this."
Mo Li naturally wouldn't refuse: "I am available now, you decide the location, I will be there right away."
"Then, let's meet at the 'Destined' cafe on Xihuan Road."
...
After hanging up the phone, Mo Li drove directly to his destination.
He found it odd that the cafe was located right next to the miHoYo studio, why not let him go directly to the studio?
However, Mo Li was just curious, and he didn't pursue it further.
And the reason he initially said investment instead of acquisition was also because of this.
First, the system's introduction of "miHoYo" didn't say anything about selling the "miHoYo" studio, only about investment.
So, to meet the other party, Mo Li decided to use investment as an excuse to meet her first.
Since the system had said there was a chance to buy it, Mo Li naturally wanted to try.
Secondly, Mo Li thought it was best to investigate before deciding whether to acquire it or not.
Although You Lan was indeed very beautiful, but… that wasn't a reason for him to be taken advantage of, right?
...
Soon, Mo Li drove to the "Destined" cafe.
"The name is pretty good, a destined encounter~"
The cafe's environment, combined with the gentle music, created an elegant and tranquil atmosphere.
Mo Li pulled out his phone and dialed the same number again: "Miss You Lan, I'm here."
"I see you."
Mo Li turned his head and looked around, and quickly saw a beautiful woman wearing OL attire, slender and tall, waving at him.
"Even the figure is so similar to You Lan Dai'er!" Mo Li was incredibly surprised.
He walked towards her with slow steps, a smile on his face: "Hello, let me introduce myself again, my name is Mo Li."
"Just call me You Lan."
You Lan also stood up slowly, returning a polite smile.
"Would you like something to drink?"
"Anything is fine."
After dismissing the waiter, Mo Li went straight to the point.
"Miss You Lan, let's get straight to the point."
"I'll ask you a question, what capital do you think your studio has to attract me to invest?"
You Lan opened her mouth, staring at Mo Li's young and handsome face, not knowing how to answer.
What's going on, don't you already have the idea to invest? Why are you making things difficult for me...
"Our studio is a group of people who truly love games, if Mr. Mo Li is looking to make money... then I cannot guarantee that the money you invest will be returned."
After hearing the other party's words, Mo Li couldn't help but laugh: "What an honest person..."
"I understand... The reason I came to see you is that I saw the attitude your studio has towards games."
"As for making money and hobbies... I think it's not impossible to have both."
After a pause, Mo Li withdrew the smile from his face and said seriously: "I have a very good game idea, as long as it is made seriously, the return rate will be at least 10 times."
Mo Li was actually understating it.
After all, Honkai Impact 3rd wasn't a buy-to-play game, as long as the game was updated and new characters were released, the game's revenue would continue to grow steadily.
"But, I can't develop the game alone, and I don't want to spend so much energy creating my own studio."
Hearing this, You Lan's brows furrowed slightly: "Do you mean... you want to invest in our studio to make this game?"
Mo Li: "..."
Big sister, you're honest enough, but why do you seem so naive now...
"Ahem... Miss You Lan, you're joking too much..."
"I provide the money and the idea, and then the results all go to your studio... Do you think that's possible?"
You Lan also realized she was being silly, her face flushed slightly, and she was embarrassed.
"What I mean is... I want to acquire your studio!"
"Huh?" You Lan's expression froze, the topic changed too fast, and she was caught off guard.
"Didn't you say... you were going to invest?"
How could Mo Li possibly think of investing? The words he said before were just to talk to the founder of "miHoYo" face-to-face.
Mo Li, with a straight face and a steady heart: "It's true that I have the idea to invest, but after careful consideration, I think it's better to directly acquire it."
You Lan: "..."
She shook her head in disappointment: "I'm sorry, Mr. Mo Li, I have no intention of selling the studio, although I am the founder, but this was established by me and the other employees in the studio."
"Even if I agree, the others in the studio won't agree."
Mo Li nodded: "I understand, but... can I talk to the other employees in the studio? After all, you should be aware that your studio's current predicament... it's unlikely to attract investment."
"Even if those employees work for free, does your studio have the money to develop other games?"
"We are also people who love games, why not cooperate and make a game that the whole world will love and pay for?"
