Chapter 136 The future is bright
Of course, what and how much Han Miyan can get from Liu Taimin’s inheritance has nothing to do with An Rusong.
An Rusong believed that even if the woman took over the entire Damushan Group, she would not be able to give him tens of billions for no reason, unless he threatened her with something.
Wait, a threat?
Well, if that were the case, I would probably be run over by a dump truck or something when I went out. There was no doubt that the crazy woman would definitely be able to do such a thing.
However, An Rusong has never coveted the wealth in Han Meiyan's hands. Although he is a scumbag, he has always been a scumbag with a woman's body, but he has never been a scumbag with a woman's money. He has never cheated money or sex. Dry.
The most important thing is that he is confident in his future and believes that in the near future, the wealth he can control will definitely not be comparable to that of a mere Damushan Group.
Don't think that An Rusong is wishful thinking. In fact, he now has signs of getting rich suddenly.
On the seventh day after NGN Farm went online, the number of registered users of NGN software exceeded 7 million. On the same day, An Rusong received a call from Macaulay. This man with De Feng The head of the venture capital fund from Jie's background expressed an apology to An Rusong on the phone. At the same time, he expressed another venture investment intention to him verbally: GC Fund planned to invest 10 million in NGN Company. US dollars in exchange for a 20% stake in NGN Company.
Since Macaulay has issued such an investment intention, it means that his valuation of NGN Company has been increased to US$50 million. Interestingly, the exchange rate of the US dollar against the Korean won that day was exactly 1:1000. In other words, if converted according to this exchange rate, NGN's current valuation is 50 billion won.
Moreover, the quotation given by Macaulay was only a verbal quotation. If An Rusong was interested in accepting investment from GC Fund, I believe the two parties could continue to negotiate on the specific amount. This is why An Rusong did not directly accept it. The most fundamental reason for the other party’s offer this time.
In An Rusong's view, the last quotation given by Macaulay was more or less based on Mike's face. In other words, although the last quotation given by Macaulay was very It's low, but in the eyes of the other party, that offer actually has a premium.
But this time, Macaulay is obviously really optimistic about the development of NGN Company. He really wants to win the shares of NGN Company, so the conditions he gave are even more stringent, because In this condition, there is room for bargaining.
Driven by NGN Farm, the number of registered users of NGN software has exceeded 7 million. If this data is placed in the Chinese application software market, it seems like that. But the problem is that this 7 million is NGN Korean version of the results achieved.
What is the total population of South Korea today? 48.684 million people, including newborn babies, elderly people lingering on their sick beds, and of course those poor people living in remote mountainous areas who cannot even access the Internet. But even so, the number of registered users of NGN software already accounts for more than one-seventh of the total population. Calculating this, does the future of NGN Company seem bright?
The most important thing is that NGN software is still in its infancy. How long has it been online? There is a push for NGN farms. What if the software is released in English again? What if we also conduct a large-scale push within the English circle? What effect will that have?
No one knows this yet, but precisely because no one knows, there are countless possibilities. So the question is, what does venture capital do? What are they investing in? After all, isn't this what they are investing in?
So, during the call with Macaulay, An Rusong did not accept the other party’s offer, but he also did not explicitly reject the other party’s intention to invest in NGN Company. He just asked the other party to think about it carefully. The valuation of NGN Company, because he is sure that the value of his company should be higher.
It is not only an item in the company's development plan, but also a response to Macaulay. Just the day after the two talked, NGN Farm launched four props, namely: Random seeds obtained by harvesting crops; fertilizers to speed up plant growth; herbicides and pesticides to eliminate weeds and pests.
These four props can increase the yield of farm crops, shorten the harvest time, etc., and they cannot be obtained by purchasing, but can only be obtained randomly by harvesting crops or completing corresponding tasks. Get. As for the so-called corresponding tasks, players need to invite friends to register for the NGN software and enter the NGN farm to complete, and each time they invite a friend, they will receive corresponding rewards.
With the emergence of these props, the number of registered users of NGN software once again ushered in an explosive period, and on the Yahoo forum, a post by netizens complaining about NGN farms also became popular in South Korea in a short period of time.
The general meaning of this post is that the president of the company where the poster is located has issued a task to all employees, requiring them to apply to register an NGN number, and at the same time, they must also provide the invitation code. In one column, fill in the exclusive number issued by the president. At first, the company's employees thought that the company was going to build an NGN group for future communication. As it turned out, the group did exist, but the president's purpose was not to work, but to go to the NGN farm to receive invitation rewards.
Interestingly, one of the most popular posts on the Yahoo Japan forum is a request for NGN to open the prop purchase function. The person who posted the message claimed to be an otaku who does not have many friends in life, but is obsessed with farm games, so he hopes to spend money to buy props to speed up the development of his own farm. Below this post, there is another comment. The person who posted it is also an otaku, but his purpose of playing farm is for a girl he has always liked but has never expressed it to her. Because the girl is also addicted to farm games, and every time the poster’s crops mature, the girl will come to steal vegetables from him. Therefore, the poster hopes to purchase props to speed up the growth of his crops so that the girl can come to his space more times.
Well, this world is weird and weird. If you don’t see it, you won’t know how wonderful it is.
As for An Rusong, he just hopes that strange people will come to play his farm game, so that his NGN software will become more and more popular, and it is best to become popular outside the circle.
In mid-November, the weather in Seoul is getting colder every day, and the temperature difference between morning and noon is extremely large every day, and most of the time the difference can be more than ten degrees. Because of this, seasonal colds have become prevalent in Seoul, and from time to time you can hear announcements on the radio reminding citizens to wear more clothes.
In the NGN company's office, watching Jiang Xiuyuan's face turn red as she covered her mouth and ran to the door, An Rusong unhurriedly tied up his belt and tidied up the somewhat messy desk until Jiang Xiuyuan adjusted it. In a good mood, she glared at him fiercely and walked out. Then he hummed a tune and opened the closed curtains.
The office area outside the office is now full of people. In the past period of time, NGN Company has been operating while continuously recruiting new people. After a month of operation, the company now has nearly 30 employees, more than half of whom are programmers. They are also the entire The core of NGN company.
In An Rusong’s plan, once the company gets the first financing, the first thing he has to do is to buy a piece of land in Bahyeondong, Bundang District, and then build a building there. Building property so that the company can be moved directly there in the future.
The reason why we chose Baekhyeon-dong in Bundang District is firstly because Bundang District is promoting investment and offers relatively large discounts in various aspects. It seems that if the investment amount reaches a certain scale, the government will subsidize the land acquisition fee in proportion.
Another point is that in An Rusong’s memory, Baekhyeon-dong, Bundang District, in his previous life, seemed to be a well-known innovation center in South Korea. Large companies such as Samsung and LG all had their headquarters. Moved there, or established a R&D center there or something. If history is correct, properties in this area will definitely be extremely expensive in the future. Now, buying a piece of land there can be considered an investment.
Of course, there is a premise for all of this, that is, the company must be rich enough. If you don’t have money, you can’t say anything!
Sitting back on the chair, An Rusong took the glass on the table.
The water in the cup was still warm, but there was an eye-catching lipstick mark on the rim of the cup. Thinking of the ultimate enjoyment he had just experienced, An Rusong grinned, changed his hand and put the cup away again. Went back.
Who said that the little girl is innocent and ignorant and will not cause trouble? That's because no one is trying their best to teach her. As long as she has the heart to teach, the patience to teach, and the heart to teach, what can't she learn?
Opening the computer happily, An Rusong took a document on the table while waiting for the computer to start up.
Since NGN Farm went online, the company has started new development projects.
At present, all programmers in the company are divided into two project teams. The first Russians who joined the company belonged to an independent project team, and the projects An Rusong assigned to them were secrets to the entire company. Those who continue to be responsible for the development of NGN software functions are the fourteen programmers recruited subsequently. They are currently working on the development of NGN's emoticon packs, animation functions, and voice messages.
In An Rusong’s follow-up plan, there will be a major version update of the NGN software within the year. A package of NGN functions will be thrown out in this version update. I hope that by that time , the valuation of NGN by various venture capital companies can reach a higher level.
