Text Chapter 940 Continuous Investment

"Of course!" Harvey also laughed, and the matter was considered a success. He knew that the boss was interesting, and now the boss wanted to diversify his investment. If the IT industry was in a bubble, the boss would probably have to go back to work on the farm. Now his money and the bank's money are all in the IT industry.

"Last year's market value was only 500 million, but now I have doubled it, it's a lot. 150 million, this person's asking price is really high enough." Zhou Jiexi flipped through the documents and said, Fortunately, although the impression is not very deep, at least this company still has a market value of more than 10 billion in the future. No matter what the situation is, I will not lose money. I may still be able to buy some stocks after IPO: "Okay, as soon as possible Once it's done, I'll make an agreement with Bank of America, and they'll send the check."

"The current Tesla is still very attractive. We are buying shares from shareholders. It is normal to buy at a premium. Compared with others who can't buy it, you still make money, boss." Harvey explained Said.

"And I have already settled it." Harvey asked Mike to take out another document: "He has already signed it, as long as you sign your name, these shares only need you to sign within a week Good checks, then they're yours."

"Wow!" Zhou Jiexi looked at him in surprise, "Very good, I just like your speed of handling things." As he spoke, he took the documents and began to browse, he could still understand the basic legal documents, There are basically no problems with these. If there are any bad regulations, Zhou Jiexi will sue his lawyer.

The next thing is to make money. There is no problem with Bank of America's loan of 100 to 200 million U.S. dollars. Not to mention that his fixed assets have increased a lot, but the stock price has been rising in a straight line. There are also other assets he invested in, such as the Chinese Empire in the United States. The banks who want to lend are eager to have such high-quality customers.

I settled the matter with a vice president of the Bank of America, and directly lent 200 million U.S. dollars, first cashing in the money from the shareholders of Tesla, and I may need to invest the rest in the near future. It can be used.

The South Korean business has not been finished yet. In the next few days, Zhou Jiexi's people will be negotiating with Cube. Sometimes the money is a little less, but there are many things to talk about. His acquisition is worth 100 million For shares worth more than US dollars, all you need to do is to read the documents and sign the check, and then to join the board of directors, which looks very simple.

On the contrary, it is a small Korean entertainment company with more than 30 billion won, not more than 20 million US dollars. It took a lot of time, and the money spent is not as much as the mantissa after 100 million. .

He didn't pay much attention to it, since he didn't need to worry about this matter. He himself just took a break to see if there are any projects worth investing in in South Korea, and he still focused on the Internet. After a few years of these projects, if he still has impressions, they are basically projects that bring a lot of benefits to investors.

Needless to say, the first thing he looked at was the game company. South Korea does have an advantage in e-sports and games, and it can also make a lot of money. In addition, the investment in this way is actually not too expensive, and of course it is a very good investment project.

It's a pity that things backfired a little bit. The top few well-known game companies in Korea are all established companies. Either it was founded very early, and now it has become bigger. Either it has already been listed, buy shares or buy stocks, how does he know which is good and which is not.

It's not the kind of venture capital investment, a little money is hanging around now, and we will slowly see the situation in the future, maybe it will become bigger. People are getting bigger now, and it would be strange to ask for your money.

Zhou Jiexi could only give up this piece of content, and then see if he could find some impressions or familiar ones. I spend a whole day in the hotel, looking at the computer for a while, or watching movies and listening to music, it can’t be all worth it.

Besides, there are still two assistants under him who have not left. It is a pity that these two people cannot speak Korean, and the team members who can speak Korean have already gone to the cube for a meeting and negotiation. He also treats it as leisure and playing.

In the afternoon, the team members came back and reported the progress of the negotiation. Zhou Jiexi also listened to the briefing, they are doing financial audits and so on. During the meal, Zhou Jiexi asked a question by the way, but unexpectedly, there was an answer.

"Ka, kao?" Zhou Jiexi meditated on this name, and it was still a little familiar. He remembered that many Korean stars played this name later. In this way, those who can be mixed into later generations are still sought after by many celebrities, so the typical ones should be considered as good people.

Directly asking the team under him to collect information on this company might be a really good investment project.

The next day, Zhou Jiexi received the materials from his subordinates. This is a software that was launched this year, that is, in March 2010. ?It is an application program for communication between smartphones such as iPhone, Android, WP, Blackberry?

The app uses actual phone numbers to manage friends. With the help of push notification service, you can quickly send and receive messages, pictures, videos, and voice intercoms with relatives, friends and colleagues. Even if your friends are not online, your friends can still receive your ka and kaotalk messages, just like sending text messages.

At this stage, it seems that the development is not bad, at least it has a certain market share, although it is very small, but at least it can be regarded as a small fire project. The current position in South Korea seems to be within the top ten, but the increase in users is indeed among the top three in South Korea.

The top three also included Jessie Zhou's Tom Cat. Well, it is also a good feature. Although many things overlap with Twitter, it is more popular than Twitter.

It seems that Ka and Kao come from an entrepreneurial team, and the founder Kim Bum-soo has a strong background and background. Founded Korea's largest game platform Hangame more than ten years ago, and later served as the CEO of Korea's largest Internet group NHN.

Ka and kao are one of the products launched by the company he formed after he left the company, but this one is relatively popular and seems to be a model of success. Now the total number of registered users of Ka and Kao is about two million. In South Korea, a small country with a population of about 50 to 60 million, it is really a very good result.

The penetration rate for current smartphones is also very high. After all, multi-platform software has its advantages. Zhou Jiexi knows this very well. The software and games under him also tend to operate on multiple platforms. If he has money, he doesn't care about the manual modification costs of boasting platforms. It's a trivial matter.

"Jin Fanxiu." After Zhou Jiexi read a sentence silently, he turned to his assistant Mary and said, "Go and contact this company, I think they need some investment!"

"Good boss!" Mary responded immediately, and then started to contact the company. Fortunately, since the founder Kim Bum-soo is an abc, the employees in the company still have a little English, almost all have an English name, and the company seems to be American-style.

In a 6-story office building in tecjnovalley, which has the name of South Korea’s Silicon Valley, there are companies, ka and kaotalk, of Kim Bum-soo, who is now a second-time entrepreneur, are stationed.

In the afternoon, more than 50 people in the company were in the company, and some of them were taking a break after doing good work. Others are still busy, South Korea doesn't say anything else, this speed is really not bragging, it's very fast. Even the software they are making now is very fast in terms of update speed.

Now Jin Xiufan is discussing new ideas with the group, and how to improve ka and kao to make it more attractive. There are not many similar things in South Korea, such as SNS, Twitter, Tom Cat, Facebook, etc. Their companies are now taking advantage of their own advantages to seize the Korean market.

The receptionist who received the call outside reported the situation to the secretary. The female secretary was waiting outside for their discussion. Seeing that the time was almost up, she walked in and said, "Brian, there is a venture capital company that wants to visit our company and wants to make an investment!"

"Venture investment company?" Jin Xiufan said in surprise. There are very few venture capital funds in South Korea. In general, there are not more than a dozen companies doing this, so it is a bit surprising that this venture capital found them. "By the way, which company is it?"

"Sky Investment under Sky Fund, oh, she said they also have Blue Sky Capital, and they both belong to the same boss." The secretary reported.

"Jesse Zhou!" Jin Fanxiu is very concerned about the development of the Internet in the United States. Jesse Zhou, who rose last year, of course knows that Apple is a shareholder of Facebook. And his own Tom cat, and Sky Games, these are very famous achievements.

Besides, the two venture capital institutions, Sky Investment and Blue Sky Capital, although they don't understand that they are both members of the same team, why should they be divided into two. But these two venture capital institutions were very hot in the Asian market last year, and they are also very attractive this year. There are not many of them in the Korean market, but in the Asia-Pacific region, especially China, they are very accurate in online investment, with a loss rate of less than 20% for hundreds of investments.

However, according to the speculation of some people in the investment bank, their profit ratio is very high, and almost none of them is less than five times. Most of them are small investments with high returns. Recently, I only heard that Jingxi, an e-commerce company they invested in, has done a lot of product placement in South Korea. Even when he was watching TV, he saw a lot of Jingxi with Chinese characters.

He is really interested in this venture capital institution. The current ka and kao are all using his money to operate. At this stage, they don’t spend a lot, and he also has a lot of money. But in the future, it may not be possible. Normal businessmen know that they should introduce venture capital funds to spread risks.

It also needs more money to burn in order to make this ka and kao bigger and better. After thinking about it, he said, "Make an appointment with the other side, we can discuss it."

"Okay Brian!" the secretary replied.
