20 years of restarting life

Chapter 2637 lies in the choice of being tempted

ArenaNet was established in March last year. Since its establishment, the company has been plagued by insufficient funds and has spared no effort to attract investment.

So far, they have a total of seventeen people from Blizzard, and most of them are the former subordinates of Woatt, Brian, and Strion.

Because of my trust in them, I chose to leave Blizzard, which has excellent treatment, and enter ArenaNet.

After that, the company successively recruited five people from outside, all of whom were technical elites in various module fields with good wishes for the future.

Each of these twenty-two people invested at least 1 and up to more than 30 (Woat) in the company and became shareholders of ArenaNet.

But in more than a year, they have only raised seven small investments from outside, the largest one was 40 yuan, and the smallest one was only 10 yuan.

All investments added up are only 260 million.

This is also the reason why today, ArenaNet cannot attract investment even if it talks nonsense.

With this money and time, if you get it from Japanese and Korean game manufacturers, you can easily make a very good large-scale mmorpg game, and you can also make two or three RPG games.

But ArenaNet only had time to create a 3D source core engine code and a complete game structure framework.

One Nano’s investment of 400 million yuan, holding 45% of the shares, is equivalent to a valuation of ArenaNet of 888 million.

The intangible assets of ArenaNet plus the original investment of 260 million are valued at 488 million.

Compared with the outside world's cynicism and disdain for ArenaNet, this price is definitely fair and reasonable.

However, Woyat and the others need to think about such a fatal problem. If the company's external shareholders don't even need to collect the dragon balls, they can find two or three or the largest one, and the total shareholding can exceed 50 %.

Completed absolute control of ArenaNet.

Then the bottom line they had insisted on before was easily broken in a roundabout way, and their persistence became a worthless joke.

Zhao Changan certainly understands the concerns of the three people.

I can’t help but sigh that these people who are purely technical are still too naive. No wonder NCsoft caught ArenaNet’s “Guild Wars” and “Guild Wars 2” like a juicer in the previous life and squeezed them for more than ten years. They kept draining them dry before selling them off and reorganizing them like garbage. .

"In fact, you can re-register a company outside of ArenaNet, and then put 55% of your ArenaNet shares into the company as a common asset. This problem can be perfectly solved."

Zhao Changan's suggestion made Woyat and others' eyes light up.

Around noon, after ArenaNet reached a consensus within the company, Voyager, Brian, and Stryn also contacted seven shareholders outside the company by phone.

After hearing that someone was willing to invest 400 million US dollars, the seven shareholders who originally thought they were meat buns and dogs didn't even listen to the suggestions put forward by ArenaNet on the phone. They all expressed their agreement loudly and hurriedly. .

At this time, they just hope that they are lucky enough not to lose money. They don't have the energy to bargain, otherwise, if the negotiation breaks down, it will be like a chicken and a egg.

The specific process will take a few days. Zhou Kexin stayed in Irvine, while Zhao Changan went to Gotham City with four employees first.

This time, in order to acquire the shares sold by Doug, Zhao Changan has now transferred 6 million RMB from the Gotham City branch to New Audio and Video.

After absorbing 3.68% of BlackBerry's equity and spending 4.18 million RMB, New Audiovisual cut off 8200 million and returned 1 million to the Gotham City branch.

The following is to see how to make good use of the 38 billion from the Gotham City branch to achieve a butterfly change with a small amount.

Western stock markets have generally experienced a long period of decline since April last year. Traditional industries have fared better. The United States has cut interest rates five times in a row since January, in an attempt to drive funds into the stock market.

Especially the Internet high-tech stocks that are plagued by disasters. Therefore, the typical Dow Jones Index dropped slightly from 4 in April last year to 10476.8.

The Nasdaq index dropped from 3 points in March last year to 5100 points. The share prices of many high-tech companies have shrunk by more than 2000%, and even went bankrupt.

This is also the reason why ArenaNet is unlucky. It entered the market in March last year when the popularity of the Internet was at its peak. As a result, it entered the market and reached its peak. After that, it only fell.

Moreover, this decline has lasted for more than a year, and there is no end in sight.

In Zhao Changan's previous life, if it weren't for NCsoft's discerning eye, ArenaNet would soon have another Black September, and would basically end up bankrupt.

Therefore, although capital is greedy and greedy in the world, if it were not for the power of capital, ArenaNet's end would be even worse.

However, it can be said that although Black September has killed a large number of European and American companies, this slimming down is a golden refinement that removes the essentials and retains the essentials.

It can be said that this time the one-nanometer system has won a rare opportunity. Of course, Zhao Changan's purpose is not for money. Just like a big boss said that he is not interested in money, his purpose is to participate in the entire chip industry chain.

Even if he has 60 to billion RMB in his hand, he would not dare to show off, not to mention that Zhao Changan's current total net worth is less than billion RMB.

Of course, this does not include the calculation of the market value of Zhuo Zi in the future Cretaceous period.

However, those are realizable assets in the future, and now there is simply no way to get enough funds to cash out the mortgage.

With a net worth of 60 billion, Zhao Changan can be ranked second or third on the current Forbes list of the richest people in China. However, if this amount of money is invested in the chip cluster industry chain, it will only cause a few small blisters at most.

It also confirms the huge gap between China's total economic scale and Western developed countries at this time.

After arriving at the One Nano branch in Gotham City, Zhao Changan chose to go out in person and began to slowly accumulate funds from InVision, Viisage, Action,——

Small-cap stocks in this category include security screening, facial and fingerprint recognition systems, biopharmaceuticals, and healthcare.

The basis of Zhao Changan's judgment is very simple. After this crisis, people will definitely pay more attention to travel safety, as well as physical health and health care.

For example, InVision (security inspection), the current stock price is only US$1.6, and the total market value is less than US$6 million.

The stock price of Viisage (face and fingerprint recognition system) is only $1.39, and the total market value is less than $2 million.

This also restricts Zhao Changan from accumulating too much in each stock, and he can only increase leverage by 0.5 times at most for these stocks, focusing on his own funds to resist risks.

Zhao Changan only took away 10 billion of the funds in Meng Xuedong's hands, and the remaining 28 billion was used by the traders of the branch.

This 10 billion plus the leverage of 5 million can probably attract chips below the 5% public line of these target companies.

As for the 28 billion in Meng Xuedong's hands, Zhao Changan decided to change his previous thoughts and let it go after a long period of thinking and decision-making over the past two months.

In the past, Zhao Changan had thought about short selling with higher leverage in advance, but if he did this in the future and contacted the excellent performance of the BlackBerry channel, anyone who was not a fool would be very suspicious, at least suspecting that Yinan had obtained some reliable information. .

Zhao Changan believes that One Nano’s positioning of world economic technology is cooperation and leadership, rather than plunder and confrontation.

Then some money really cannot be earned. This is like some beautiful women stripping off their clothes and letting Zhao Changan fuck her. Although he is very eager to fuck her, he really can't fuck her.

Because it was really fun at the time, but the trouble and sequelae afterwards were just as terrible.

Let’s see if Meng Xuedong’s sixth sense that he has always boasted about is really awesome. If it is really awesome, then even if his operation is a big profit, at least there is a context to be found and he will not be passive. There was no way to fight back.
