MTL - Rebirth: Japanese investor-Chapter 2 reunion
Chapter 2 Party
Kishimoto Masayoshi suddenly remembered something very important, so he hurried towards the goal. This is a party, an explanation party about investment projects.
That is, people who have projects and lack funds, bring their projects to Tokyo to find partners. Similarly, people who have funds but do not have good projects naturally come here to find good projects that they can invest in.
However, at this time, it was the critical moment when the Asian financial crisis was raging, which made an investment presentation party that was originally a high-profile party to be a bit deserted.
In order to keep running and gather popularity, the organizer lowered the threshold again and again, and did not attract many people to participate in it. After all, many people in the area are in deep trouble.
They all belong to the mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and they can't protect themselves. Are there any extra thoughts here to make other investments?
In addition to being in a hard fight, they also prepared for the worst psychologically. If you go bankrupt, it will be completely reasonable to take the road of no return.
Even the few people who have not encountered this disaster will not be optimistic about the economic situation next year in the short term. In the long run, within three to five years, it may be difficult to recover from the devastation of the Asian financial crisis.
Masayoshi Kishimoto got such an invitation letter to participate in this coincidence that was not favored by the vast majority of people. If it were not for the outbreak of this financial crisis, he would not be eligible to enter the market at all.
He was in formal attire, holding on his left hand the investment project brochure that was handed to him by the receptionist as soon as he entered the door. Right there, the names of some companies are clearly listed, along with a general introduction to their respective projects.
Kishimoto Masayoshi opened the investment project prospectus in his left hand and looked at the table of contents. He lowered his head with two black eyes, staring motionlessly at an online game company called NCSoft.
This is a new company that was established on March 11, 1997. It is unfortunate. Soon after its establishment, it encountered the Southeast Asian financial crisis that first broke out in Thailand on July 2, 1997, and then raged all the way and evolved into the current Asian financial crisis.
Kishimoto Masayoshi worked hard to suppress his inner ecstasy. He immediately decided that even if he was selling iron, he would invest the money in this online game company called NCSoft.
Kishimoto Masayoshi thought with excitement on his face, a great opportunity exists in a crisis. As long as you discover it, you will be able to make a lot of money with a small amount of money.
Now and now, others don’t know about NCSoft, but he knows better. Even if it is unknown at present, it will definitely become famous in the online game industry in the future.
Kishimoto Masayoshi counts the time, and in another half year, NCSoft, a company, will become famous for an online game called "Paradise".
"Paradise" is an online game for Chinese online game players, only **** players have heard of and played it.
Although it didn’t perform well in the Chinese market, and it left the market sadly, it was very popular in many other countries, and it opened up a new way of entertainment and leisure.
"Legend of Blood", which is well known to Chinese online gamers, is a large imitation of "Paradise". The former is still one of the poorer among the many imitators.
The reason why "Paradise" did not become popular in China is because its requirements for hardware and network speed are much higher than that of "Legend of Blood".
Computers were an out-and-out luxury for the Chinese at that time. Ordinary people work hard and live frugally for a year, but they may not be able to afford a low-end assembly machine.
Kishimoto Masayoshi's footsteps seem to be disobedient to his own orders, as if the positive pole of a magnet is attracted by the negative pole, he involuntarily finds Jin Zechen of NCSoft.
Kishimoto Masayoshi saw that Jin Zechen had not had time to bow and salute, and the first sentence blurted out: "I want to invest in your company."
Jin Zechen was stunned for a moment. He came all the way to Fusang to raise money, to save the company that was on the verge of bankruptcy, and to hold a dead horse as a living horse doctor, making a desperate attempt.
Because the NCSoft online game company he founded was also deeply affected by the Asian financial crisis. On the road of financing, Jin Zechen has repeatedly hit a wall.
The banks will naturally not lend to themselves, after all, the eight major banks in South Korea have already been unable to guarantee themselves. Investors in Europe and the United States despise small companies like themselves that have just been established. Even if they want to sweep goods, they will sweep high-quality assets in traditional industries that are facing temporary operational difficulties.
Besides, the current dominance of the game industry is still console games. Secondly, it is a computer stand-alone game or a computer LAN game. Finally, there are arcade machines, hand-held machines. What the **** is this online game?
Not to mention asking investors to make a venture capital investment, this is something that even some peers in the game industry are not optimistic about, but it has the power to change the world.
Kanazawa was overjoyed, but also worried. With the police's eyes on the suspect, he 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 Masayoshi naturally saw in his eyes that he did not regard himself as a good person, nor was he 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 let the other party be vigilant. Who makes the current self not a big celebrity in the investment world?
"Why, I'm afraid I'm a liar?" Kishimoto Masayoshi took the initiative to pierce the thin window paper between the two sides.
Jin Zechen is naturally not stupid enough to admit it, he kept a polite smile and changed the subject: "I want to know, why do you want to invest in our company?"
"Buffett said a famous investment saying, others are greedy, I am fearful, while others are fearful, I am greedy. Now, everyone is afraid of the Asian financial turmoil, and it is the time when I should be greedy.
Even those who have money in their hands will be more cautious and cautious than usual. You can see at a glance how many people are there. However, I am not afraid.
There are three reasons for . First, I am a super enthusiast of computer games. I can play games for three days and three nights without sleep;
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 LAN, but will have a broader world;
The third is the most important point. Once you are optimistic, don’t hesitate and dare to be the first. "Kishimoto Masayoshi erected the three fingers of his right hand one by one.
After listening to his remarks, Jin Zechen couldn't help nodding his head, especially the other side's second, which deeply moved him. This idea of the other party coincides with his own idea in the game.
