NOVEL WEB The youngest son of the chaebol family, Mo Hyun-min
Chapter 98
George was very efficient, and the next day he got the relevant information, "Chen, this ICQ was developed by three Irissgers, Wadi and Gaudefinger. They founded Mirabilis last year and launched ICQ in November to provide Instant Messenger (IM) services to registered users. At present, their users have exceeded 300,000, and the number of users will continue to increase.
"Chen, it seems that you have found something good!" George teased Chen Daojun, "It's just that many institutions have already noticed this company, you have to act quickly, otherwise others will be the first to go."
"Already have institutions targeted?" Chen Daojun frowned a little, "Don't worry, let's go to contact first and see the situation." "It seems that he is not the only one who has ideas about this emerging field of instant messaging, he just doesn't know how much other people are willing to pay! The early instant messaging software is a pure bottomless pit of burning money, even if they occupy a huge market share, it is difficult for them to convert traffic into green dollars.
The original AOL company purchased ICQ and launched more functional versions of 99a, 99B, 2000, etc., trying to increase advertising in ICQ and obtain revenue, which caused users to begin to hate ICQ, which also gave later MSN Messenger, SkyPE and other software an opportunity.
......
Under George's arrangement, Chen soon came to Mirabilis to meet the three founders of ICQ, Visger, Wadi and Gaudefinger. They heard that the person who came to visit was introduced by Goldman Sachs Group, and all three were a little overjoyed. It's just that seeing the young and somewhat excessive Chen Daojun, their enthusiasm instantly cooled by a large half, sending such a young man over, this is obviously not sincere! "I am
Li Wenxuan of Goldman Sachs, and I am very interested in the ICQ software you developed. Want to invest in your Mirabilis, I don't know what the three of you think? Chen Daojun said with a smile (come out to mix, still use your real name?) Put on a vest and make trouble, Meizhi).
"You're going to invest in our Mirabilis? How much money can you invest? The leading Vesger asked a little suspiciously, after all, it was introduced by Goldman Sachs Group, and he was not good to rush people directly, so he had to patiently ask symbolically.
"I can invest 10 million, but I need 30% of Mirabilis." Chen Daojun quickly gave an answer. However, the founders of the three technicians, who were quite disdainful of Chen Daojun's offer, "Are you kidding? 10 million, just want to buy 30% of our Mirabilis company? The bearded Goldfinger on the side complained.
"If you're willing to pay $50 million, we can sell you 20% of the shares." Wadi quite agrees with his companions' statement, their ICQ software is now a hit, according to the latest statistics from the office, there are almost 500,000 cumulative registered users! Now the entire beautiful country, except for them, there is no second company to develop instant messaging software, which is "the only one of the scorpions"!
Although Visger did not speak, he still agreed with his companions' ideas, now that their ICQ has a trend of explosion, fools will sell the company's shares cheaply!
Chen Daojun looked at the three lions in front of him who opened their mouths, and couldn't help but smile, "It seems that our ideas are too different, and this investment is a failure, then I will go first." Seeing that Chen Daojun did not bargain, it didn't seem to be sincere at all, and the three of them were even more convinced that this young man was a liar, a speculator who wanted to get benefits from them.
......
On the way back, George thought of Chen Daojun's actions just now, and he was puzzled in his heart, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Chen, aren't you very optimistic about that ICQ?" Why did it stop suddenly? Is their offer too high?
Chen Daojun looked at George's concerned expression and said with a smile, "Although I am optimistic about ICQ, I am optimistic about its future value." And now, ICQ, which is still just starting out, is obviously not worth so much money. I am an investor, and I do not disdain to do loss-making business!
"With the money to buy so many shares, why don't I spend $20 million and let my game company develop better instant messaging software?" The corners of Chen Daojun's mouth rose and he sneered, "I remember that their Mirabilis company seems to have only registered patents for ICQ, right?" "
“...... In this way, the materials they sent only mentioned that Mirabilis only registered a few patents for ICQ software in beautiful countries. Moreover, instant messaging software is a newly released technology, and the beautiful country has not yet formulated and perfected the relevant patent law provisions.
"Isn't that it! Since ICQ's patents are not complete, we can naturally develop the same type of products without worrying about copyright patents. The three guys who developed ICQ still understand the real usage and profit point of the instant messaging software they developed, just take the number of registered users, and it is just a layman who deceives people with a lot of money.
In addition to Chen Daojun's dissatisfaction with the previous attitude of Weisger, Wadi and Gaudefinger, Chen Daojun also found that these guys did not understand how to operate an instant messaging software at all, and even did not monetize the huge traffic attracted by the software to increase their revenue. A non-profitable software, the more users sign up to use it, the more they lose! When Little Pony led the team to develop Little Penguin, he
also faced the same problem, and finally by connecting Little Penguin's account with many Goose Factory games, a large number of Little Penguin users were diverted to the Goose Factory game, and the final profit was achieved through the game profit model. And now Chen Daojun happens to have a game company, whether it is Westwood Studios in Beautiful Country or NEXON Game Company in Stick Country, so it is not easy for the game designers in the company to refer to ICQ and develop a communication software with similar functions!
Chen Daojun, who had made up his mind, quickly dialed the phone, "Louis, I now need you to deploy people to make an instant messaging software similar to ICQ. Don't worry about funding, I'll have $8 million to your company account. If you can develop it within 3 months, I will sponsor 15 million US dollars as a publicity and promotion fund, and give 1 million US dollars to the R & D personnel!
Hearing Chen Daojun's instructions, Louis Caston, CEO of Westwood Studios, immediately agreed, his own boss is so generous, how can there be any reason to refuse!
"Chen, it seems that you have found something good!" George teased Chen Daojun, "It's just that many institutions have already noticed this company, you have to act quickly, otherwise others will be the first to go."
"Already have institutions targeted?" Chen Daojun frowned a little, "Don't worry, let's go to contact first and see the situation."
