Top of the Great Era

Zhou Buqi didn't know much about Nexon's situation. Outside, Nexon's newly appointed North American president was still waiting there, so boss Zhou just let Ren Yuxin make arrangements.

Ren Yuxin's statement is also simple, just two words.

No matter what the other party said, there was silence here.

At the same time, only two requests are made.

First, Changyou can take over about 34% of the shares of the game orange company held by Nexon, with a total value of about 3500 million US dollars.

Second, Changyou can make a strategic stake in Nexon and provide no less than US$10 billion in capital to help it restructure its overseas business and transform its strategy.

"10 billion US dollars?" Zhou Buqi was taken aback, "Is there that much in Changyou's account? Doesn't this empty the account?"

Changyou is now a large company with a market value of more than US$400 billion. It has more than 70 game studios covering Europe, America, East Asia, and Australia, and employs more than 4500 people.

The monthly salary and welfare expenses of employees alone exceed 6000 million US dollars.This requires Changyou to keep a reserve fund of at least US$10 billion in its account for a long time to ensure the safety of basic salary.

But now is the era of enjoying the "hustle and bustle", and mergers and acquisitions are constantly being initiated along the way, which costs a lot and makes ends meet.

It's a big investment to pay Nexon $10 billion at once.

Ren Yuxin smiled and said: "The game industry is recovering. Since June, Changyou's share price has been increasing, which has been recognized by the capital market. We have more advantages in financing. I think the financial side has given It seems that it can easily obtain more than 6 billion US dollars in financing, and major investment banks are now very optimistic about Changyou.”

"The financing amount of 50 billion US dollars..." Zhou Buqi was still not reconciled, thinking that the market value of 400 billion US dollars is still underestimated, it is best not to dilute the equity financing, "What is the amount of debt financing?"

"Half and half?"

Ren Yuxin is ambiguous, he is not a financial person, and he doesn't know much about these things.

But one thing is certain.

The amount of financing is directly linked to Changyou's market value. The higher the market value of Changyou, the higher the financing limit given by the capital market will be. The better Changyou develops, the more investors are willing to give money.

In fact, it is chasing ups and downs.

Ren Yuxin said: "As long as Changyou's stock price keeps rising, there is no need to worry about funding. From the current point of view, Changyou can maintain this momentum within a few years."

This is the benefit of the company's listing. The real stock price can be used to measure the development potential of a company.Instead of playing a blind box like a non-listed company, the nature of the bet is too high.

Zhou Buqi asked, "What is the market value of Nexon?"

Ren Yuxin said: "More than 100 billion US dollars."

"Have they encountered difficulties in financing?" Zhou Buqi was rather surprised by this. "A large listed company like Nexon, with such a high market value, is still short of money?"

Ren Yuxin smiled and said: "The location is different. Nexon chose to list on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The difficulty of financing must be higher than Changyou's listing on NASDAQ. Also, Nexon has encountered so many troubles recently. , the capital market is very vigilant and will limit lending to it.”

Zhou Buqi nodded, "With $10 billion, can you get 10% of the shares?"

Ren Yuxin is very confident, "At least 10%, maybe 12% or 13%. Nexon is facing internal and external troubles. What they lack is not money, but confidence. If Changyou can give Nexon a lot of money, yes The significance of Nexon is more about confidence. Even Changyou has invested so much money, which is enough for Nexon to regain market recognition.”

Zhou Buqi saw that he knew everything well, and said with a smile, "It's been working for a long time, right?"

Ren Yuxin said: "I've been paying attention, maybe you need to come forward to have a meeting with Kim Jong-woo, the big boss of Nexon."

Zhou Buqi obeyed the arrangement of his subordinates, and said carelessly: "Okay, just tell me when you need it, and I promise to cooperate with your work!"

Ren Yuxin hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "The relationship between South Korea and Japan has always been tense. As the largest game company in South Korea, Nexon did not go public in Seoul, but went to Tokyo to go public... By the way, a few years ago, they even put The headquarters has also been moved from Seoul to Tokyo.”

Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows, and he heard a bit of taste, "In order to avoid the monopoly chaebol in South Korea?"

Ren Yuxin said: "It's very possible that Kim Jong-woo is not willing to compromise with them."

Zhou Buqi has no bad impression of the Korean chaebol, because he is the beneficiary.

He has built good relationships with both Hyundai and Samsung.

In the Korean market, his name can be used as a half chaebol, and the benefits are too obvious.

However, for a new entrepreneur like Kim Jong-woo, who is independent of the traditional chaebol, it is a crime to suffer. If you can run away, you can't run away from the temple.

Ren Yuxin said: "Especially after Nexon went public in Tokyo last year, Kim Jong-woo immediately became the third richest man in South Korea, second only to the two owners of Samsung and Hyundai. This has been targeted. In the past, During the year, Kim Jong-woo suffered various criticisms."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Well, it's conceivable."

Kim Jong-woo is really miserable.

In his previous life, as the big boss of Nexon, he suffered all kinds of blows in South Korea. Public opinion, society, lawsuits, real and fake were mixed together, and methods of discrediting and spreading rumors emerged endlessly...

So what if you are rich?

He suffered from severe depression.

Later, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I committed suicide and ended my life. I was only 54 years old when I died.

In fact, it is not only Kim Jong-woo.

Another entrepreneur who came out of the IT industry, Kim Bum-soo, is also the big boss of kakao, and even became the richest man in Korea for a time.The experience is not much better, there are all kinds of abuse, criticism and smearing for no reason.

Later, unable to bear it any longer, Kim Beom-soo resigned and went to the United States to become a teacher at a university and enjoy retirement.

It's better than Kim Jong-woo, who dies in his prime.

Fortunately, this life is different.

Zhou Buqi rescued Jin Fanxiu and accepted him as his younger brother.

When he is away from home, especially in the Korean and Japanese markets, Zhou Buqi has no principles at all, he is just for profit, just to make money.

In the process of establishing Kakao Group, instead of adhering to the principle and maintaining the so-called independence like Jin Beomsu in the previous life, Zhou Buqi actively promoted the cooperation between Kakao and Hyundai Group, introduced the capital of Hyundai Group, and provided two directors seats.

In other words, Kakao in this life is actually a modern industry in South Korea.

People are under the roof, stick to the principle of shit!

Only by relying on Hyundai can we back up!
It's good for the company, and it's good for you, Kim Beomsu.

You can fight against capital, but don't fight against power.When fighting against capital, you still have something to be reasonable; when fighting against power, the barrel of a gun is the greatest reason.

Big Macs like Samsung and Hyundai symbolize power in South Korea. If you want to make a living in South Korea, don't try to get around it.

As an entrepreneur who came from China, Zhou Buqi's understanding is obviously much clearer than that of Jin Zhengyu and Jin Bunxiu.

After saving Kakao's Kim Bum-soo, it's time to save Nexon's Kim Jong-woo.

The ancients always said that being rich is not benevolent.

How wrong.

Boss Zhou is a kind person. Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda.

Ren Yuxin said: "The reason why Nexon's stock price has fallen in a row recently, internal and external troubles, and another very important reason is that Kim Jong-woo is hospitalized. It seems that he has suffered from severe depression and is recuperating."

Zhou Buqi sighed, "It's a crime to be pregnant, no matter how rich you are, you can't compete with power."

Ren Yuxin smiled and said, "You may be able to fundamentally solve this problem if you come forward."

"Ok?"

Zhou Buqi heard the meaning in the other party's words.

Ren Yuxin said: "Samsung's game business has been doing very badly, and Lee Jae-yong has always been very concerned about it. Hmm... There is another very glaring point. On the rich list of South Korea, Kim Jong-woo ranks third, and Lee Jae-yong ranks fourth."

Zhou Buqi was a little funny, "I know Li Zairong, he is not as bastard as you think! It seems that he is so scheming and stingy. Okay, I get it, you can arrange it there. I'll see if I can help him." This line is to promote the cooperation between Samsung and Nexon. In business, after all, it is necessary to make money with peace. It is not advisable to act on one's will, to hurt the enemy eight hundred and self-loss one thousand."
