Chapter 58 Investment Success
Bijiang City.
Liu Huangjie came out of the Discipline Inspection Commission looking rather unwell.
His father, Liu Yipin, was arrested some time ago, which implicated him, and he was summoned for questioning multiple times.
He was even more devastated when he learned that it was his cousin Li Xuyou who provided the most compelling evidence to get his father, Liu Yipin, imprisoned.
It's a shame his father treated Li Xuyou so well before; he never expected to be betrayed by a relative in the end!
"Ahhh!" Liu Huangjie felt like he was about to collapse.
During this period, he was summoned for questioning time and again, and many colleagues at work also secretly pointed fingers at him.
Even his superiors gradually became indifferent to him.
Before his father was imprisoned, the leader had a relatively high opinion of him.
This drastic change was something he couldn't accept!
"Who exactly exposed my father?" Liu Huangjie grabbed his hair, his face filled with hatred.
He received a tip that someone had anonymously reported his father.
"Damn it!"
……
Far away in the United States.
A game development studio that looks a bit messy.
Mark and Brandon looked at Yang Wu and asked, "Mr. Yang, I'd like to confirm again, are you really sure you want to invest in us?"
“Yes! Just like we discussed yesterday, I will only take 49% of the shares! I will not interfere with the creation and operation of your game, I will just wait for the dividends!” Yang Wu said in English.
Mark and Brandon exchanged a glance, both seeing the excitement in each other's eyes.
To be honest, when Yang Wu approached them a few days ago and said he was preparing to invest over a million US dollars in their game studio, the two of them were somewhat incredulous!
They had poured everything they had into creating the game they envisioned, and Mark even had to temporarily stay at his girlfriend's rented apartment.
They also wanted to find investment, but when they explained the concept of their game, many venture capital firms rejected them without hesitation.
"Your tiny game studio thinks you can compete with Blizzard Games?"
"With your level of expertise, what kind of games can you possibly make?"
Such rejections and ridicule continued.
But they never expected that someone would take the initiative to invest.
Riot Games received its first round of funding in 2008, two years later. It was an investment of $7 million. At that time, League of Legends was basically completed and had begun closed beta testing. Because it looked pretty good, the investment was made.
Following the official launch of the North American server in 2009, it secured another $900 million in funding.
"Thank you, Mr. Yang!" Mark said with gratitude.
To be honest, Riot Games Studios desperately needs this investment right now.
"No need to thank me. I also have high hopes for your game, and I'm a game enthusiast myself. I really admire your creative concept! That's why I chose to invest in you." Yang Wu started talking nonsense with a straight face.
He rarely plays games, but of course, what needs to be said still needs to be said.
Yang Wu's words moved Mark and Brandon once again!
To be honest, quite a few people don't have a high opinion of the game they made.
Some people even said it was imitating a certain game.
It lacks any creativity or anything like that.
They even said the difficulty level was too low. What's the point?
But no one knew that a few years later, this game would become a global phenomenon!
Of course, Yang Wu doesn't know either. To be honest, he's just following his older brother's advice regarding this investment. Whether there will be a return after the investment is a big question mark for him!
"Alright, now that we've agreed on all the terms, let's sign the contract!" Yang Wu said.
“Of course!” Mark said with a smile.
With this funding, their game development will proceed much more smoothly.
Ten minutes later, both parties had signed their contracts.
Yang Wu looked at the contract in his hand. This time, he had invested a lot of money and acquired 49% of the shares.
"Happy cooperation!"
"I hope you create a brilliant game!"
……
It's late at night.
Yang Wen received a phone call from Yang Wu, who had traveled all the way from overseas.
"Brother, as you instructed, I have successfully invested in this major company, and it went very smoothly." Yang Wu said with a sense of relief over the phone.
After all, it was his first time going overseas, his first time investing so much money, and his first time doing something he never dared to imagine before.
The most important thing is that it was something my older brother asked me to do!
"Okay, okay, how many shares did you get?" Yang Wen asked.
"We've acquired 49% of the shares!" Yang Wu exclaimed.
"49%?"
Yang Wen was slightly startled upon hearing this.
To be honest, it was somewhat unexpected for him.
Based on his previous estimates, getting 30% of the shares was already a pipe dream for him; he might be lucky to get more than 20%.
I never expected them to acquire 49% of the shares so easily!
"Perhaps this Riot Games company was founded not long ago, and even the game League of Legends is still in its early stages of development. Maybe the company's founders, Mark and Brandon, don't yet know how incredible the game they're creating will become in the future. So, faced with this sudden investment, they feel they've made a profit by giving up 49% of the shares?" Yang Wen analyzed in his mind.
It's worth noting that Riot Games received its first investment in 2008, when League of Legends was already in closed beta.
It was only 2006, and the game League of Legends was probably only in its framework at that time, so its valuation potential was not high. That's why the investment of 1000 million yuan resulted in a 49% stake.
If you invest two years later, you probably won't even get 5%, let alone 49%!
"Good, good, well done!" Yang Wen was very satisfied with Yang Wu's performance this time.
It was actually a test and trial for his younger brother.
“Come back after a few days of fun. School starts soon. How about you start a company when you graduate next year? I support you. But before you start a company, you should do an internship for six months. It’s good to get some experience in society,” Yang Wen added.
"Huh? I start a company?"
"What? You've already invested ten million, what are you afraid of?" Yang Wen said with a laugh.
"..."
"I'll listen to you, brother." Yang Wu nodded.
To be honest, he saw quite a lot during this trip abroad.
After hanging up the phone, Yang Wen pondered his current situation.
"Having avenged my great grudge can be considered as making up for the regrets of my previous life. However, I still have to live my life. In this life, I want to live the life I want to live, and I also want to do something practical for the people." Yang Wen said to himself in his heart.
His past and present lives, especially his experiences in the last few months, have subtly changed his mindset and personality.
Everything is moving in a positive direction!
