Chapter 12: Chapter Twelve: Equity Distribution Plan!
Cai Qiu and Chen Wei are also smart people.
Qin Xiaoyu’s words were subtle, but they still caught the underlying meaning.
Actually.
Before this, Cai and Wei had already discussed it privately.
Strictly speaking, the game Genshin has little to do with either of them.
It could even be said that almost all the credit belongs to Qin Xiaoyu alone. Taking thirty-three percent equity would be inappropriate.
Besides.
Equal distribution of equity isn’t necessarily good for the studio’s development.
Sometimes, certain matters require someone to make a final decision.
If everyone holds equal shares, things are fine as long as there’s no disagreement—but if a split arises, whose opinion should prevail?
Moreover.
Even before Genshin officially launches, it’s already showing signs of becoming a hit.
Sticking to the old arrangement would be even more inappropriate.
“Big Fish, from now on, the studio follows your lead—you point, Wei and I will strike there!”
Cai Qiu’s expression was serious; after a pause, he continued:
“The game’s concept and development were almost entirely your work. I have no objection to reallocating the equity!”
Hearing this, Chen Wei beside him also nodded:
“To be honest, Wei and I shouldn’t even ask for shares—we were ready to run when you were comatose.
Why not give us one percent? Just a token gesture!”
Open-hearted people.
Qin Xiaoyu silently praised them in his heart.
It made sense now why the original owner had bonded so tightly with these two.
Genshin will bring huge profits in the future, perhaps even becoming a high-value IP.
But.
Qin Xiaoyu wasn’t a stingy person.
For the fact that Cai and Wei sold off their several games to raise money for his surgery—
He couldn’t possibly give them only one percent each.
Though he was no longer the original Qin Xiaoyu of this world, he intended to keep these two as brothers.
People with integrity and self-restraint are rare, no matter which world you’re in.
He paused for a few seconds.
Qin Xiaoyu spoke with sincere expression:
“Saying it’s all my work is unfair—without you two selling those games, we couldn’t have even rented the internal test servers.
So you both deserve credit.
How about this: I take the majority—sixty-seven percent—and you two split the rest.”
Sixty-seven percent is the minimum threshold for absolute control.
Major company decisions require approval from two-thirds of voting shareholders.
As soon as Qin Xiaoyu proposed this, Cai immediately refused: “No, no, no—that’s too much!
Wei and I couldn’t accept it comfortably.”
“Big Fish, you’ve always been generous, but this much equity—we truly can’t take it!”
Chen Wei quickly pushed back: “Let Wei and I take a little advantage—five percent each is enough!”
Everyone wants money.
But you must be able to take it without guilt.
Qin Xiaoyu insisted a little longer, but he couldn’t outstubborn the two of them, so he finally agreed to their proposal.
Five percent each may seem small.
But it’s enough to ensure they live comfortably and wealthily for the rest of their lives.
