Chapter 299 I want
As the new president, Li Minbo's victory was not easy. Along the way, he encountered many ups and downs and unexpected situations, and was almost caused by President Lu. The investigation was sent to prison. What supported him to this day was by no means his personal charm or ability, at least that was not decisive. What truly supports him to today and to win are those forces who provide him with various support behind his back.
For example, people like An Rusong, chaebols like SK, and planners like Bai Jinjun.
The same thing, one person is enlightened and the chickens and dogs are ascending to heaven. Since Li Minbo has won the election today and has become the new president of the Republic of Korea, the first thing he has to do must be to those Those who support him will give corresponding feedback, so that everyone can see that Li Minbo will not let those who follow him suffer losses.
People like Bai Jinjun who give advice for him will get the power they want. Therefore, Bai Jinjun has a predetermined position: the head of the secretary's office of the Blue House and the housekeeper of the Presidential Palace; Cui Taiyuan will receive a pardon from the president. He no longer has to hide in the gutter like he did in the past three years. Therefore, An Rusong, the president of NGN, will receive some policy and financial support from the national level. , and this will be a great promotion for the development of NGN.
Just looking at this draft plan, An Rusong can guess that the point where NGN can finally plan the profit must be supported by the government funding totaling 15 trillion won, which will most likely be loaned with interest-free. , even the direct policy support funds are deducted to NGN.
The person responsible for allocating this money will of course not give it to NGN company directly, because it seems too ugly after all. They will first come up with such a policy of financial support, and then publicly announce various prerequisites for obtaining this fund. For example, companies that can enjoy financial support must be IT companies and must be established in the past two years IT companies that have grown up must meet a certain standard, such as the valuation must reach more than US$500 million and less than US$1.5 billion; the software developed by the company must have more than 100 million registered users, etc.
In short, any IT company in the Republic of Korea can apply for financial support, but any company that applies must meet the various conditions listed by the government, but what can be confirmed is that the final There are no more than 10 companies that truly meet the financial support conditions, and NGN is definitely one of them.
An Rusong's appetite was not very big. He was not too greedy. The government funding mentioned in the draft mentioned 15 trillion won of government funds would be enough. After all, the 100 million US dollars of policy support funds, even if the money is just an interest-free loan, it will still need to be paid back in the future, but at present, it can help him solve a big problem.
As for the things that are privately invested, An Rusong would not have any ideas. The thing is not used to give money, but is specially used to give it to some people for reasonable tax avoidance. For example, the Samsung Li family, which is planning to transfer the inheritance, needs this policy very much.
"How is it? Do you have any ideas?" Bai Jinjun, who had been drinking coffee quietly by his side, finally asked.
After looking at the other party, An Rusong put together the draft documents, thought for a moment, and then said: "From the perspective of practitioners in the information industry, Mr. Qingxi's idea is obviously A good governance. To be honest, perhaps it is a matter of policy tendency, or perhaps it is due to the bursting of the Internet bubble, the importance our country attaches far less to the information industry."
Platinum Jun looked at him with a smile, not interrupting, but waited patiently for him to continue talking.
"The situation in our country is very similar to that in Japan," An Rusong brought the coffee on the desk in front of him, held it with both hands, and took a sip to his lips, and said, "That's the message. The development of the technology field has lagged behind seriously. Even if it only looks at East Asia, China's domestic information technology development will far surpass us. "
He is really not talking nonsense, don't Looking at the scale of China's economic development these days, China's economic development is not so impressive, but in terms of informatization, due to the attention from the national level, its development speed can be described as rapid progress, and Japan and South Korea. Well, this is also the same as Japan and South Korea. The country's domestic market is directly related to the narrowness of the country, but the lack of attention in national policies is definitely one of the key points.
Especially in Japan, it is already in the past and even uses floppy disks to store files, remotely transfer files, etc., and even uses a fax machine. "Mr. Qingxi takes office as the new president and regards the information industry as a new growth point of the national economy, which is indeed a long-term decision," however, An Rusong said the purpose of these, and It is not to make suggestions to Li Minbo, nor is it to be open-minded and promote the development of South Korea's information industry. It is just to flatter Li Minbo and point out the importance of NGN companies.
So, after two simple sentences, he changed his mind and said directly: "As one of the information technology companies that have recently developed in our country in the past two years, NGN will be extremely looking forward to this The formal promulgation of the draft, of course, NGN company also has full confidence and full grasp, which can become a key link in the information industry layout of the Republic of Korea. "
The meaning of this is equivalent to being explicitly stated : NGN is very interested in government policy support and is bound to win. "Hahaha" Hearing that he finished saying this, Bai Jinjun couldn't help laughing. He put the coffee cup in his hand back on the desk, then reached out and patted An Rusong's shoulder, and said, " Rusong, we are not outsiders, there is no need to speak in this tone."
He squeezed An Rusong's shoulder hard, and he added in a stressful tone: "I treat you as my brother. Don't say those things that are strange to you in front of your brother."
An Rusong smiled quietly and said, "Okay, Brother Jin Jun, I'll say it clearly. Although the first round of financing was just completed not long ago, NGN is currently in a critical period of development, and software localization is Promoting work is very costly, and at the same time, the company is building a new headquarters and data center, which all cost money."
After a pause, he continued, "The most important thing is that I will continue to do so in the future." I am preparing to do a series of overseas promotional activities, which also cost money and are a lot of money. Therefore, I really need these policy support, especially financial support." >
Platinum nodded, and after he finished speaking, he asked: "I paid special attention. Your NGN is indeed amazing in its development momentum, but it has only been a few months, and the market estimates The value has exceeded US$1.5 billion. In fact, can it really reach such a high level? "
"It's hard to say," An Rusong said in a real way. "The reason why the current valuation is so high is mainly because There are two reasons: First, the software is developing relatively fast, and the rising curve of the number of newly registered users is very good. Moreover, the software has already gained some revenue through some additional services, that is, it has profit points. Capital values it very much.”
After swallowing, he continued: "Second, there is a lack of similar and competitive products on the market. To be precise, it is the launch of the photo wall function, including NGN and MSN, and other original instant messaging software. It is differentiated. It is no longer a simple instant messaging software, but has become a comprehensive software that has both instant messaging functions and community functions. "
"There are these two points , which makes the market generally optimistic about it, thus pushing up the company's valuation,” he concluded.
"Profit point is unique," Bai Jinjun thought for a moment and said, "that is, with these two points, the company's valuation effect is very good."
" If you think about it simply, you can indeed say that,” An Rusong nodded and agreed.
"So, when will NGN prepare for the second round of financing?" Bai Jinjun then asked, "How high are your expectations when the second round of financing?"
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
"My idea is that at least until September this year, there will be no second round of financing," An Rusong thought for a while and said, "At present, the competitive relationship between NGN and MSN has been revealed, and there is news. It is said that MSN is preparing to launch corresponding versions for the true language and customs of East and Southeast Asia. In addition, it may also launch functions similar to photo walls. Therefore, in the next six months, the company's main task is to consolidate The market share of software in East Asia and Southeast Asia will squeeze out the influence of MSN from this region as much as possible."
At this point, he thought for a while, and said, "As for the right thing to say, I am still optimistic about the expectation of the second round of financing. If the B round of financing can be set at the end of this year, I expect that by that time, NGN's market valuation should be more than US$2 billion, or even more than US$2.5 billion. "
I don't know if it was an illusion, but An Rusong felt that when he said the last sentence, Bai Jinjun's hand seemed to tremble, and his eyes seemed to be lit.
"So confident?" Bai Jinjuncai asked with a smile after being silent for two or three seconds.
"Haha, there is still this confidence," An Rusong smiled in a relaxed tone. "The main reason is that I have enough confidence in the next two updates of NGN software. MSN does not pose a threat to us. Their thoughts are too old Now, I can no longer keep up with the times."
