Chapter 314: Amateur Actor
The first course was served to Masayoshi Kishimoto and Kyoko Fukada by the waiters. What he eats, for him, does not matter.
The important thing is to be able to say that you can't accompany the other party to watch the grand fireworks show in the port area tonight.
In order to show his sincerity, Masayoshi Kishimoto once practiced a lot in front of the mirror. It is really challenging for an amateur actor to act in front of a professional actor.
"Is the food here to your liking?" asked Kishimoto casually.
Kyoko Fukada showed her charming signature smile and said, "Very good!"
"That's good. "Kishimoto is afraid that if she doesn't like it, the effect will be drastically reduced.
"Do you have any arrangements for the New Year's holiday?" asked Kyoko Fukada pointedly.
When Masayoshi Kishimoto was asked by her, he naturally thought that next year would be 2000. This was not only the year of the computer millennium, but also the year when the dot-com bubble began to burst.
A lot of my own investments have been bet on this industry. However, he didn't have too many worries, after all, they were all first-class and high-quality companies.
Not only that, but they have all begun to get on the right track and entered the stage where their main business is profitable. The market value of Yahoo's stock alone is a staggering $8.4 billion. Needless to say, the three major game companies in South Korea are also available.
Actoz Soft Software Co., Ltd.'s "Legends" online game has officially been released in South Korea. Although the response is mediocre, in the near future, that is, in September 2001, it will officially land in the Chinese mainland market, thus triggering a phenomenal grand event, and it will not let Kishimoto make less money.
In the same year, 1999, "Stone Age" also began public beta in Japan. The response to it was mediocre. As a result, Kishimoto took the opportunity to acquire shares in the development company and the publisher JSS at a low price.
After he joined JSS, he took the initiative and boldly put forward the strategic idea of going global at the high-level meeting, aiming to make "Stone Age" not limited to the local market of Japan.
His proposal was immediately met with opposition from the JSS veterans. In their opinion, an online game that can't even become popular in Japan is tantamount to looking for death if it goes out.
However, no matter how much they insist on opposing it, they can't stand the large number of shares in Kishimoto's hands. After all, it's not one vote per person who speaks, but those who have more shares to speak.
Kishimoto is not stupid, and he can't irritate some of them too much. If they come to a collective resignation, they don't let themselves be empty.
In order to ease the internal contradictions between them, he was also able to show that he was not bent on going his own way, as if he had made concessions, and he chose Taiwan as a test field for overseas distribution.
If it does, they will enter the Chinese mainland market again. The JSS veterans fully embraced his proposal.
They mistakenly believe that Kishimoto has made certain concessions and compromises, so it is unreasonable for them to insist on it again and again. In any case, the other party is the largest shareholder of the company.
The bursting of the dot-com bubble is both a danger and an opportunity. On the dangerous side, it is true that many Internet companies have collapsed en masse. The myth of the wealth of the Internet that once made it began to shatter.
In this cruel survival of the fittest, it also gave Kishimoto a golden opportunity. Otherwise, he will not be able to sweep a large number of goods at a low price, and he will not be able to become the leader of Internet companies in Chinese mainland in the future.
In 2000, Tencent entered the most difficult period, and when faced with financial difficulties, it almost sold the developed ICQ software to the Shenzhen Telecom Data Bureau at a price of 600,000 yuan, but it finally failed due to price reasons.
In other words, what it lacks most is money, and even for a mere 600,000 soft sister coins, it can sell its main business ICQ software. As for the Shenzhen Telecom Data Bureau, it feels that Tencent's ICQ software is not worth 600,000 soft girl coins.
Once the opportunities of history have passed by, there will be no more. Masayoshi Kishimoto saw this opportunity and wanted to "take advantage of the danger" to get Tencent's shares justifiably.
He neither wants to buy it all or take absolute control. If there is no Xiao Ma Ge and others, what he buys is a shell company. His first priority was to keep them.
Therefore, when the time comes, we must grasp a good degree in negotiations, so that we can not only satisfy ourselves, but also satisfy them, and willingly continue to stay and continue to work.
At the beginning of the new year, I had to go to Hangzhou to talk to Ma's father in person, after all, the $20 million had been prepared for the other party early.
In order to play this big game well, Kishimoto has been involved in Internet and telecommunications investment since 1997. He has successively implemented Yahoo, NetEase, Tencent, Alibaba, Focus Media, Shanda Network, etc.
"I didn't want to go there, so I stayed at home and played the online game Lineage. Do you play too?" Kishimoto said with an excuse.
"I really didn't think you would play Lineage, an online game?" said Kyoko Fukada in surprise.
"This company was my first investment, and it was when we met in the elevator that you spilled my juice drink. Kishimoto picked up a memory from the past.
"It seems that it was the online game Lineage that allowed us to get to know each other. Kyoko Fukada said with a smile.
I remember very well that I signed the investment agreement with Kim Taek-jin, the president of NCSoft in South Korea, in the room where he was staying. "Kishimoto is not in a hurry or slow.
"Then you should make a lot of money. I'm one of them!" Kyoko Fukada not only has free time to play with it, but many people around her are also playing.
"Thank you for your support. "Masayoshi Kishimoto has already received a lot of dividends from "Heaven". In the first year, it was 4 billion yen.
It is a golden rooster that lays golden eggs. In the next 20 years, or even longer, this big IP will bring itself a steady stream of profits every year.
"I won't go there during the New Year's holiday, let's play online games together, okay!" said Kyoko Fukada with a sweet smile.
Masayoshi Kishimoto felt that he had dug a pit and buried himself again. Now he can't go back and say, "Okay!"
"Then come to my house! I have exactly two computers in my house. In this way, it is also easier for us to communicate. Kyoko Fukada said very proactively.
Masayoshi Kishimoto is not only to maintain her good mood, but also to start a little rippling in her heart. In the face of a beautiful woman, a star, or a Japanese star that he liked quite a lot in his previous life, how could he bear to refuse?
"Okay. After a little consideration, Kishimoto decided on the railway.
Kyoko Fukada's mood can be described as excellent. She felt that she was a big step closer to the throne of Mrs. Chaebol. In her mind, any kind of star is not as comfortable as a chaebol wife.
What's more, he is not married to an old man. I also have feelings for Kishimoto Justice.。 The most important thing is that he is young and golden, and his future will be brighter. She is willing to be the woman behind a successful man.
