Masayoshi Kishimoto suddenly remembered something particularly important, so he hurried towards his goal. It's a party, an explanatory gathering about investment projects.

That is, people who have projects and lack funds come to Tokyo with their own projects to find partners. In the same way, people who have funds but do not have a good project will naturally come here to look for a good project to invest in.

However, at this time, the Asian financial crisis was raging, which made a high-ranking investment explanation party become a little deserted.

In order to keep running and gathering popularity, the organizers lowered the threshold again and again, and did not attract many people to participate in it, after all, many people in many places are in deep trouble.

One by one, they all belong to the mud bodhisattvas crossing the river, and they are all unable to protect themselves. Is there any extra energy to make other investments?

In addition to being engaged in a bitter fight, they are also mentally prepared for the worst. If you go bankrupt, it will be completely reasonable to go to the point of no return.

Even the few who have not experienced this catastrophe will not be optimistic about the economic situation in the short term and next year. In the long run, it may be difficult to recover from the devastation of the Asian financial crisis within three to five years.

It was by this coincidence that the vast majority of people were not favored by the vast majority of people that he got such an invitation to participate. If it had not been for the outbreak of this financial crisis, he would not have been qualified to enter the market at all.

He attended in formal attire, holding in his left hand the prospectus of the investment project that had been handed to him by the reception staff as soon as he entered the door. There is a clear list of the names of some of the companies, as well as a general description of their respective projects.

Masayoshi Kishimoto opened the prospectus of the investment project in his left hand and started with the catalog. With his head down, his two black eyes stared at an online game company called NCSoft.

It is a new company that was established on March 11, 1997. It was unlucky, having encountered the Southeast Asian financial crisis that first erupted from Thailand on July 2, 1997, and then wreaked all the way to the current Asian financial crisis.

Kishimoto tried hard to suppress the ecstasy in his heart. He immediately decided that even if he smashed the pot and sold iron, he would invest his money in this online game company called NCSoft.

With an excited look on his face, Kishimoto thought that a great opportunity existed in the midst of a crisis. As long as you find it out, then you can make a big profit with a small one.

At the moment, no one else knows about NCSoft, but he knows it all too well. Don't look at the current name, but it will inevitably be famous in the online game industry in the future.

Masayoshi Kishimoto calculates the time, and in another half a year, NCSoft will become famous for an online game called "Lineage".

"Paradise" is an online game that only hardcore gamers have heard of and played for Chinese online gamers.

Although it did not perform well in the Chinese market and returned home, it was not popular in many other countries, opening up a new way of entertainment and leisure.

"Legend of Blood", which is well-known to Chinese online gamers, is a considerable imitation of "Paradise". The former is one of the more clumsy of the many imitators.

The reason why "Lineage" did not become popular in China is because its hardware and network speed requirements are much higher than those of "Legend of Blood".

Computers were an out-and-out luxury for the Chinese at that time. Ordinary people work hard and save money for a year, and they may not be able to afford a low-end assembly machine.

As if he didn't listen to his own call, as if the positive pole of a magnet was attracted by the negative pole, he couldn't help but look for Kim Zechen of NCSoft.

Seeing that Jin Zechen hadn't had time to bow and salute, Kishimoto Masayoshi blurted out the first sentence: "I want to invest in your company." ”

Jin Zechen was stunned for a moment. He came all the way to Fusang just to raise money, in order to save the company that was on the verge of bankruptcy, holding a dead horse as a live horse doctor, desperate.

Because the NCSoft online game company he founded was also deeply affected by the Asian financial turmoil. On the road of financing, Jin Zechen has repeatedly hit a wall.

Naturally, banks will not lend to themselves again, after all, the eight major banks in South Korea are already unable to protect themselves. Investors in Europe and the United States look down on small companies like themselves that have just been established, and even if they want to sweep the goods, they will sweep the high-quality assets in those traditional industries that are facing temporary operating difficulties.

What's more, the current dominance of the gaming industry is still console games. Secondly, it is a computer stand-alone game or a computer LAN game. Finally, there are arcade machines, handheld machines. What the hell is this online game all about?

Not to mention asking investors to make a venture investment, which is something that even many peers in the gaming industry are not optimistic about, but it has the power to change the world.

While Jin Zechen was happy, he was worried again. He took the police to look at the suspect, and carefully looked at the person standing in front of him from head to toe and from foot to head, fearing that the person who came would be a liar.

Kishimoto saw in his eyes that he didn't see the strangeness of seeing himself as a good person, and he didn't get angry, after all, it was understandable.

Two people who have never met, he said this as soon as they met, and he couldn't help but make the other party more vigilant. Who makes me not a big celebrity in the investment world now?

"What, I'm afraid I'm a liar?" Kishimoto took the initiative to pierce the thin window between the two sides.

Jin Zechen naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to admit it, so he changed the topic with a polite smile: "I want to know, why did you invest in our company?"

"Warren Buffett once said a wise saying about investing, others are greedy, I am afraid, and others are fearful, I am greedy. Now that everyone is afraid of the Asian financial crisis, it is time for me to be greedy.

Even if you have money in your hands, you will be more cautious and cautious than usual. If you look at the number of people present, you can see it at a glance. But I'm not afraid.

There are three reasons: first, I am a super enthusiast of computer games, and I can play games for three days and three nights at any time;

Second, I have always believed that the development direction of computer games in the future will not only stay in the area of stand-alone or local area network, but also have a broader world;

Third, it is the most important point, once you are optimistic, do not hesitate to be the first. Masayoshi Kishimoto put the three fingers of his right hand up one by one.

After listening to his words, Jin Zechen couldn't help but nodded, especially the other party's second, which deeply moved him. The other party's idea coincides with his own philosophy in the game.
