Chapter 589: Mojang AB
ps: There is a lot of information, so I deliberately wrote 3447 words. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Wen Huizhu can be so trusted by Shen Huiying, in addition to ability and loyalty, her eyes are also a factor.
After thinking about it for a while, she understood why Park Ji-hoon didn't look for Shen Huiying directly, but asked herself first. Subsequently, her first reaction was to feel relieved for Shen Huiying.
"Jihoon, you're too careful with the prosecutor's energy!" said after smiling slightly, he picked up his coffee with some reserve.
It is undeniable that Shen Huiying's current position is also related to the backer behind her, but that backer is more of an "east wind" effect. Shen Huiying has gone from being the lowest-level prosecutor step by step to the present, and her foundation is extremely solid, and unlike ordinary high-ranking officials appointed by the president, she has great authority! Even in the Supreme Prosecutor's Office, her right to speak is one of the best, and even not inferior to the current Procurator General Han Xiangda.
500 million US dollars is not a small number, but it is not corruption, it is just a loan, and it is a secured loan, which is not difficult for Shen Huiying.
"Isn't it difficult?" Park Ji-hoon still confirmed it uncomfortably before he breathed a sigh of relief. The premise of his choice of this path is within Shen Huiying's ability, otherwise, even if Shen Huiying agrees, he will not accept it.
"Can you ask, what is the use of this $500 million?" After all, Moon Hye-joo does not know Park Ji-hoon as well as Park Min-ah, nor does she have the unconditional trust of Shim Hye-young. In her opinion, Park Ji-hoon should not be short of money now, on the contrary, major companies and even banks should be interested in the funds he has in hand.
"The tentative goal is to acquire a European company. Park Ji-hoon replied.
Wen Huizhu was stunned and couldn't help but look at him deeply.
Appetite is so big!
Although the profitability of "Wisdom Dragon Maze" is enough for him to enter the ranks of billionaires in half a year, it will be half a year after all. And it's not certain whether "Wisdom Dragon's Maze" will be able to maintain its current profitability -- there are many reports of decline! Dare to borrow $500 million to buy a European company now. Isn't he afraid of losing all his money?
"Auntie. I'll look into it carefully, and I'll have a team of professionals to help. Guessing Moon Hye-joo's thoughts, Park Ji-hoon said with a smile.
"Hmm!" Wen Huizhu nodded, not saying more. In terms of management, she does not consider herself qualified to mentor Park Ji-hoon. Even, there are not many people in the whole of South Korea who have such qualifications.
After a cup of coffee, the two got up and left.
"The Attorney General shouldn't have rested yet, you can call her now. "When leaving. Moon Hye-joo said to Park Ji-hoon.
"During the day. Park Ji-hoon smiled and said. Once he speaks, Shen Huiying will definitely worry about it, and I'm afraid that he won't be able to rest well at night.
"Hmm. Wen Huizhu gave him a deep look, then nodded slightly, revealing an extraordinarily soft smile.
Park Ji-hoon went straight home to rest and restock his strength for the busier shooting.
......
For some large groups, $500 million is not a large amount.
Especially when the name of this "big group" is "Samsung".
I don't know what connection Shen Huiying has with Samsung Group, but the other party happily lent Park Zhixun $500 million and paid it off within 5 years. Pay 3% interest per annum.
Shen Hye-young did not appear, but Park Ji-hoon signed a contract with Samsung Group alone.
When meeting. Samsung had offered to buy his mobile game studio, but he refused. No matter how "worried" the so-called experts on the Internet are about the future of "Wisdom Dragon Maze", it will not affect the eyes of some investors about this game, which is completely a hen that can lay golden eggs!
After the funds were in place, the acquisition plan was officially launched.
In fact, even if he has not personally gone to investigate, after just checking the information, the balance in Park Ji-hoon's heart has tilted.
Alberto offered to acquire Mojang AB, a video game developer based in Sweden, because they owned a world-famous game, Minecraft!
"Minecraft" is a sandbox game with a high degree of freedom, the whole game has no plot, players can build and destroy freely in the game, through the combination and patchwork of Lego-like bricks, it is easy to make cabins, castles and even cities, if the imagination is rich enough, the city in the sky, the underground city can be realized! Players can experience the god-like feeling through their own creations.
That's why this game, with its modest graphics, simple sound, and lack of even a clear goal, has been so successful.
Minecraft was released in 2009, when developer Marcus Alexei Poisson was still working on the jalbum website. It can be said that the game "Minecraft" was developed by Marcus Alexei Poisson alone.
Later, when Minecraft's sales got better, Marcus Alexei Poisson resigned from JALBUM and founded Mojang AB.
In October and November 2011, Minecraft was released for Android and iOS.
By the first half of 2012, Mojang AB had amassed $80 million in net revenue. Many people are aware of the game's promise, and back in 2011, Napster founder and Facebook CEO Sean Parker was interested in investing in Mojang AB, but was rejected by Marcus Alexei Poisson.
After looking at Mojang AB, Minecraft, and Marcus Alexei Poisson's profiles, Park Ji-hoon couldn't help but ask Alberto how he managed to convince Marcus Alexei Poisson.
Markus Alexei Poisson is a typical Swede who lacks the spirit to go in. And Minecraft was putting more and more pressure on him – he was working on Minecraft just to build money for the next game, and the game was already in development, but it wasn't going as well as it should. He struggled to find that feeling. It's also because of the pressure of Minecraft.
And also. He can't turn a deaf ear to gossip like most celebrities do, and you should be able to understand how it feels, after all, no matter how good a game is, there will be a lot of disgruntled, complaining players, plus some small tricks from competitors...... In addition to envy, I also have some sympathy for Markus Alexei Poisson. His family was already unhappy, and his career was just getting off the ground last year. His father committed suicide by drinking a bullet, which made his endurance lower and lower. But he has to bear many things beyond his own ability, and he can't be like you...... Marcus Alexei Poisson has always considered himself a dick/silk programmer, has never run a company, and does not want to feel like a boss. His simplest wish is to come over and do his own thing!
If Minecraft is more successful, he can relax and choose the way he wants to do things. But I told him that, first of all, it would take a journey, maybe a year. Or maybe two or three years! Second, more successfully. It's going to be even more stressful. And our acquisition can make him realize this wish now.
Maybe go back and imagine what it would have been like if Minecraft had been more successful, and a few days later, we agreed to buy Mojang AB for $500 million, including a 79% stake in his own hands and a 21% stake in another friend.
Oh, by the way, Marcus Alexei Poisson is stubborn and has never been very interested in investors, thinking that these guys' nature of expelling profits will ruin the game! ”
After listening to Alvito's story, Park Ji-hoon was silent.
"Well, that's what I learned from you, and it's not clever, but luckily it turned out to be good. Seeing that he didn't speak, Alberto thought he was thinking about the process, so he took the initiative to "explain" it.
"Marcus Alexei Poisson wants to leave Mojang Ab?" Park Ji-hoon didn't care, but suddenly asked.
"That's right! He's had enough. Alberto was a little surprised by Park Ji-hoon's acumen.
"Tell him that we are in charge of operations, let him be in charge of game development, we will not interfere, at least keep him for half a year!" Park Ji-hoon advised.
"Okay, I'll give it a try. "You know, eloquence wasn't my strong suit, it was a complete mistake, in fact I just gave it a try, and that wasn't my first goal." But I didn't expect to have an unexpected surprise, and what I didn't expect was that you were able to raise $500 million so quickly! I heard that you didn't have financing, how did you do that?"
"It's 'give it a try' again!" Park Ji-hoon didn't explain, but the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. At the beginning, Alberto just wanted to try to convince him, but he "rebelled".
"Come over as soon as possible, there are a lot of guys who are optimistic about Mojang AB!" Alberto vaguely guessed that it might be inconvenient for him to say, so he took the initiative to change the subject.
"There's still a week, you try to hold him back!" Park told Alvito. The so-called three-week verbal agreement can easily lapse when it comes to higher interests.
"I'll give it a try. Alberto replied.
Park Ji-hoon couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth again.
"By the way, what did you mean by the original project?" "People's ambitions are the same as desires/hopes, originally just a fenced lake, and they dare not imagine many things, but once the embankment bursts, it is easy to form a monstrous trend!
"It's an unfinished project, and the amount of money required is not high, so I'll give you a detailed explanation when you come over. mobile phone, not very convenient. Alberto said.
"Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible. Park Ji-hoon said.
Over the next week, we will continue to gather information to better understand Mojang AB, or Minecraft, and confirm that it is worth the money, and on the other hand, we will begin to prepare for the official acquisition. The acquisition needed to be kept secret, so he went so far as to register an investment company in Sweden with Alberto as CEO.
It was an opportunity, and as soon as he learned about Mojang Ab, he trusted Alberto even more.
In addition to making money, Minecraft's worldwide influence is a factor that many world-class companies are chasing! If he only relies on himself, he doesn't know when he will be able to jump out of the category of Asia, let alone have such a big influence in the world.
I didn't think about bargaining, but from what I knew and Alberto's introduction, I can see that Marcus Alexei Poisson was not a businessman, and like most good programmers, he was extremely stubborn and even proud. As soon as he opened his mouth, even for a penny, he doubted that Markus Alexei Poisson would simply reject the acquisition.
It must be successful!(To be continued.) )
