After reading the information online, Mo Li put down his phone and called Rita.
“Rita, tell the other girls to come over for a meeting.”
Soon, a group of beautiful and youthful girls gathered together.
Yae Miko and Kamisato Ayaka were among them.
“Is the new version update for tomorrow ready?”
Bronya nodded gently: “Yes, it’s all done, just waiting for tomorrow’s update.”
“Okay, this meeting is mainly about three things.”
“First, as I promised before, in addition to your basic salary, I will also give you all a large bonus…”
As soon as these words came out, the girls were all a little excited. It was finally time to get paid.
However, when they saw Mo Li taking out a thick stack of documents, they all became curious.
“I’ve thought about it, a big reason why Honkai Impact 3rd has achieved its current popularity is due to the use of your character templates. So, I’m planning to give each of you a one percent share in the company.”
“These are the share transfer agreements.”
Mo Li’s words left the girls truly astonished.
Before, when Mo Li said he would give them bonuses, they only thought he was generous and a good person.
But now it was different, this was equity...
Although it was only one percent, but...with miHoYo’s current valuation, this one percent would definitely be a terrifyingly huge sum.
Furthermore, miHoYo’s potential was still on the rise.
That means, this one percent share would continue to appreciate in value.
This wasn’t just about generosity or not anymore, Mo Li was practically giving away his wealth.
How could the girls not be surprised.
“Boss…did you drink too much?” Rita was also astonished, no longer as elegant and composed as usual.
“I haven’t been drinking~” Mo Li smiled: “Of course, if you want to sell, you can come to me, I will buy back this one percent at a price that satisfies you.”
The girls looked at the share transfer agreement in their hands, exchanged glances, and saw disbelief in each other’s eyes.
After a long time, Yelan Dell spoke first.
“Cough…Boss, although I’m very tempted…but I feel somewhat undeserving. While the game uses our templates, it’s not worth this much money, and we’ve actually gained a lot of popularity…”
“Although we don’t intend to make money from our fame, it’s not a bad thing after all.”
“Therefore…this share transfer…I’m a bit hesitant to accept it.”
After Yelan Dell spoke, Ganyu also meekly pushed the contract back to Mo Li: “Boss…I haven’t contributed much to the studio, I really don’t dare to accept it…”
Then, the other girls also started pushing the share transfer agreements back to Mo Li.
This outcome both surprised and delighted Mo Li.
The reason why he was so generous was not because he was foolish.
He believed in these girls, he trusted their character.
If it were anyone else, Mo Li would never have shared his equity.
Now it seems, he didn’t put his trust in the wrong people at all.
If it were someone else, they would definitely sign their name on the agreement without hesitation.
While he didn’t know what the girls were thinking, being able to resist this kind of temptation was not something ordinary people could do.
Besides, the girls needed money.
“If you regret it now, you won’t have this opportunity later~”
Bronya nodded gently, her eyes softening as she looked at Mo Li:
“We’ll only take what we deserve!”
Kiana also laughed and chimed in: “Of course, if Boss is in a good mood, we can still accept a big bonus~”
The girls’ choice also filled Mo Li with respect, truly worthy of being “ Valkyries who fight for all that is good in the world.”
They were truly naively kind.
However, in the eyes of Yae Miko and Kamisato Ayaka, Mo Li and the girls were just as foolish.
They were very clear about miHoYo’s current potential.
If miHoYo was willing to go public, the shares would probably be snapped up by everyone.
And now…the boss was giving away shares for free, but the girls only hesitated for a moment before firmly refusing!
Although Kamisato Ayaka and Yae Miko thought the boss and the girls were foolish, they also found themselves somewhat impressed.
…
After tearing up the share transfer agreement, Mo Li immediately opened his computer.
“Then I’ll talk about the second thing next.”
As he spoke, he projected the screen of his computer onto the big screen.
The screen displayed a four-minute video.
The video cover showed a blonde boy and a blonde girl standing opposite each other. At their feet was a field of white flowers, the wind blowing their hair and clothes, carrying with it petals, while the background was a blue and beautiful sky.
The whole picture was exceptionally beautiful and natural.
The two words “Genshin Impact” in the upper left corner of the cover were particularly eye-catching.
The girls already had a hunch, but they were a bit hesitant to believe it.
Seeing this, Mo Li smiled: “Let’s all watch this video first~”
Saying that, Mo Li clicked the video playback button.
A beautiful piano sound rose, as the picture unfolded slowly, two meteors streaked across the night sky.
【The war has begun...a continuation of the last war...】
【Gods have plated the contours of desire with seven hues of glory】
…
As the video played, the girls finally confirmed that this was probably Mo Li’s new project.
The video continued, revealing very little information, but the girls watched intently.
Suddenly, the music in the video changed, becoming light and cheerful.
The screen also displayed several large characters—Mondstadt: The Stranger Who Captures the Wind.
The narration seemed to be introducing something…
【The dragon who has guarded the free city-state for a thousand years, has finally become confused about freedom. Freedom ordered by the God of Freedom… can it still be called freedom…】
Immediately, the music changed again, the beautiful music with a strong Chinese style made the girls’ eyes brighten.
【Liyue: Farewell to the Distant Form】
A white-haired woman appeared in the picture.
The folding screen behind her, the hairpins on her head, the dress that resembled a Qipao, plus the very retro patterns…all these elements, at a single glance, would make one think of the historically rich country of China.
Forget about the girls, even Yae Miko and Kamisato Ayaka were amazed by the design of Ningguang in the game.
After that, the video continued to showcase the themes of the seven nations of Teyvat.
Although the narration made the girls a bit confused, the elements displayed in the video made them extremely curious.
After the video ended, Mo Li smiled and said.
“I’m sure you all guessed it…”
“That’s right! This is the new game, Genshin Impact!”
“I’ve already gotten the license, you can ask me any questions you have.”
