Chapter 003 Shares
The two chatted speculatively, and the more they talked, the closer they became, so that Jin Zechen not only had a feeling of hating each other for seeing each other, but also sincerely admired him.
When Jin Zechen didn't come into contact with the man in front of him, he already felt that he had a vision for the development of online games. However, Kishimoto instilled in him the idea that this game could change the whole world in the future.
The reason why Masayoshi Kishimoto was able to talk to the other party and even listen carefully to the teacher's lectures like a primary school student is that he has an understanding, feelings and experience of the development trend of online games more than 20 years later.
For ordinary people, these will not have much feeling, but they can have a strong impact on Jin Zechen.
The other party has not even thought about the forward-looking, but it is not science fiction, after all, it is a possibility that exists under the premise of current computer network technology.
Jin Zechen was naturally overjoyed to meet such a like-minded person, not only for financing, but also for the other party to have a huge feeling of wanting to use online games to change the world.
Jin Zechen said bluntly: "I agree with your investment. How many shares are you going to have?"
Masayoshi Kishimoto raised his left arm unhurriedly, stretched out four fingers in front of the other party's eyes and said, "40%." ”
Jin Zechen was stunned for a moment, after all, he never expected that the proportion of the other party would be so huge.
In addition to being surprised, he also began to worry that if he agreed, the operation and management of his company would be restricted by the other party in the future.
Masayoshi Kishimoto understood when he saw the expression of joy and worry on his face. He smiled and said, "I know what you're worried about. I can responsibly tell you that some of your worries are completely unfounded.
Even if I acquire 40% of the shares of your company, I will not interfere or interfere in the daily operation and management of the company. Not only that, but I don't want a veto.
And then there's the fact that even if I become a major shareholder, you have more than 51% of the company's decision-making power. To put it bluntly, I'm just waiting for the annual profit dividend. As for the rest, it's up to you. ”
Jin Zechen was even more surprised, although the other party asked for a high proportion of shares, but did not want actual control of the company, which means that his company can continue to promote and develop in accordance with his personal business philosophy.
Generous conditions like this are really attractive. What he is most afraid of is meeting a rich man who doesn't understand anything, but the other party still has all kinds of completely unrealistic so-called future development plans.
Jin Zechen's whole body began to tremble a little with excitement: "You're not joking with me, are you?"
Kishimoto knew that at this time, he had to show extreme seriousness in order to be convincing: "If you don't believe me, we can sign the contract immediately." The contents of the contract are written on the terms and conditions that I just told you. ”
Jin Zechen believed him, after all, his company was about to close down due to lack of funds, so what else could he deceive? It's just that in his personal heart, he couldn't understand why the other party would offer such generous conditions to himself?
When Jin Zechen didn't get financing, his mind was full of thinking about how to raise money. Now, financing has arrived, but it is difficult again.
"I am optimistic about you, and I am also optimistic about the development prospects of this industry. That's why I invested. "Kishimoto is heartfelt.
"Can you give me some time to think about it? After all, I still need to call back to South Korea to talk to a few other key people. "Jin Zechen is serious.
"No problem. If you're ready, feel free to give me this one call. Let's make another appointment. Kishimoto Masayoshi remembered the business card at this time, so he took out the business card box from his pocket, took out a business card of his own and handed it to the other party's hand with both hands.
At the same time, Jin Zechen did not forget to take out his business card, and then exchanged it with the other party. Although he is Korean, he is fluent in Japanese.
The whole time, they were communicating in Japanese. After the two bowed to each other and said goodbye, Masayoshi Kishimoto didn't wander around anymore and left the meeting place directly.
He knows best that his money is only enough to invest in the current project. In addition, even if there is a good project, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. It's better not to know than to look uncomfortable.
Masayoshi Kishimoto is not afraid that Jin Zechen will regret it or find another investor. Now, only a "fool" like him would invest in the online game industry.
Moreover, the Asian financial crisis continued, and the difficulty in financing was not only in South Korea, one of the hardest-hit areas, but also in RB, where a series of banks and securities companies were affected and affected in the second half of 1997, and began to go bankrupt one after another.
Kishimoto Masayoshi expected that Jin Zechen had no choice, and the final result of his consideration was only to agree to cooperate with him. What's more, the investment conditions proposed by myself are not only not harsh at all, but also unusually generous.
Masayoshi Kishimoto knew in advance that NCSoft Online Games would launch Lineage, which was currently under development, in September 1998.
After "Paradise" went public, its profits exceeded $100 million in its first year. As a result, NCSoft Online Games has made a name for itself in the gaming industry.
Jin Zechen was also complacent, and said in public in a very high-profile manner that it was enough to learn his company's "Paradise" to make an online game.
As a result, follow-up online game works also came into being. This includes "Legend of Blood" from Actoz Soft Software Co., Ltd., which was established on October 29, 1996.
Kishimoto's plan is to earn his first pot of gold from investing in NCSoft online game company, and then invest in Actoz Soft Software Co., Ltd. in the future, after all, the influence of "Legend of Blood" in China is extraordinary, and it has also achieved unprecedented success.
However, Actoz Soft Software Co., Ltd. at this point in time is really not very good. Even if it is a game that was launched later, the quality is not very good.
Even if it started operating "Legend of Blood" in South Korea in November 1998, it is only a second-rate online game work in South Korea, and it cannot be compared with the popularity of "Lineage" at all.
Shanda Online Games Co., Ltd. will launch another online game, Millennium in March 2001, ahead of Legend of Blood, before Actoz Soft Software Co., Ltd. successfully obtained the exclusive rights to distribute Legend of Blood's "Legend of Blood" in China.
