When Li Ze called Lin Yue and Shen Qianru over and told them about this idea, Lin Yue's eyes lit up.
Just go to any internet cafe and you'll know how popular the Legend of Mir 2 was.
At least half of the players were playing Legend of Mir 2.
Moreover, the Legend of Mir 2 was planning a major event. If Zerun Technology could take advantage of the situation, their sales would definitely increase by a lot.
It could even greatly increase the popularity of Zerun Technology's two MP3 players!
This was definitely beneficial to Zerun Technology.
As for Shen Qianru, or rather, Legend of Mir 2, there was nothing bad about it. As long as they controlled the winning rate of high-level equipment and skill books, it would not affect the game.
It might even stimulate the players 'enthusiasm for leveling up.
Therefore, Shen Qianru agreed to cooperate with Zerun Technology in principle.
Of course, the most important thing was that both companies had the same boss. There were no other shareholders, so there was no exchange of interests between the shareholders.
Moreover, the boss had already spoken personally, so why would Shen Qianru object?
Li Ze left the specific matters to Lin Yue and Shen Qianru to discuss and formulate, and did not ask about this matter anymore.
However, in the afternoon, Li Ze suddenly received a call from Penguin Corporation's Brony.
"Hello, CEO Ma, why did you specially call me? Is there something wrong?”
Li Ze asked over the phone.
"President Li, there's something I want to ask you," said Brony immediately.”
"Oh? What's the matter, CEO Ma?"
Li Ze became more serious.
Brony asked," I wonder if you're still interested in Penguin Corporation's shares?"”
Li Ze was stunned and asked in surprise,""CEO Ma, could it be that you or the other founders intend to transfer the shares in your hands?”
"No, no. That was not the case. I'm actually invited by Xiangjiang Yingke Digital to ask President Li if you're interested in their Penguin shares.”
After a pause, Brony continued,"Didn't the news of your acquisition of Penguin Corporation's shares in the hands of the US International Data Corporation reach the ears of the 'little superman'?”
"He also intends to cash out, so he entrusted me to ask. If you are interested in acquiring the shares of Xiangjiang Pacific Century Digital, you can make an appointment to talk to the people of Pacific Century Digital.”
Hearing Brony's words, Li Ze was a little surprised.
He didn't expect Xiangjiang Yingke Digital to want to sell Penguin's shares.
Li Ze did not know that according to the original trajectory, Xiangjiang Yingke Digital would sell 20% of Penguin's shares to South Africa's MIH Group for 12.6 million US dollars in just two months.
Moreover, the US International Data Corporation had also sold 13% of its shares to South Africa's MIH Group.
But now, because of Li Ze's intervention, he had invested four million US dollars in Penguin Corporation, but Xiangjiang Yingke Digital did not invest at that time.
As a result, their Penguin Corporation shares had been diluted from the original 20% to 18%!
However, even if it was 18% of the shares, according to the previous valuation of 50 million US dollars for Li Ze's acquisition of the US International Data Corporation's shares, it would still require a full 9 million US dollars!
That was 72 million Chinese dollars!
Li Ze could not help but calculate the funds he could use at the moment.
After transferring the money from Legend of Mir 2 to acquire 13% of Penguin Corporation's shares from the US International Data Corporation, Legend of Mir 2 was left with only 23 million.
Later on, for Zerun Technology, Li Ze took another 20 million yuan from Legend of Mir 2 to invest in Zerun Technology.
On the one hand, it was used to acquire the electronics factory. On the other hand, it was used to open direct sales stores in Shanghai, Jingdu, and ten other cities. It was also used to advertise on Central TV and the Internet...
In addition to the cost of materials for the production of tens of thousands of MP3 players... Although the payment for these materials had a certain period of settlement, even if it was a partial advance payment, plus other expenses, it had basically spent the 20 million.
In the morning, Shen Qianru told him that the revenue of Legend of Mir 2 for March was around 39 million. The only thing he could use now was this money.
At most, with the help of the internet cafe company, they could probably gather a few million yuan.
During this period of time, the internet café company had been expanding. Now, the number of internet cafés under its banner had reached 33.
However, after entering 2001, the price of computers had dropped a lot compared to the previous two years, so the investment was relatively reduced.
However, the price of internet access in internet cafes was no longer as profitable as it was in 1998 and 1999. Most internet cafes 'internet access fees had dropped to between 2.5 yuan and 2.5 yuan.
It was the same for League of Legends Internet Cafe.
" Looks like I have to calculate how much money I can get from the Internet cafe company and Legend of Mir 2. In addition, Zerun Technology should be able to temporarily withdraw some of the funds from the sales.'
" There are so many of them. I think it shouldn't be a problem to gather 40 million.'
" Although it's still a long way from 70 million, I can ask Xiangjiang Yingke Digital if they can delay the payment by a month.'
" With the Legend of Mir 2's ability to earn money and the internet cafe, I should be able to gather enough money in a month. As for Zerun Technology, they could not transfer too much money for the time being.'
" After all, the payment for the materials needed to produce the MP3 player is only one month. If the payment period was up and he did not give the payment to the other party, the other party would definitely not supply the goods.'
If it really doesn't work out, I'll have to see if I can get a loan from the bank and get my hands on Penguin Corporation's shares…
It wasn't that Zerun Technology didn't want to extend the payment period for those materials. The key was that the manufacturers weren't willing.
After all, Zerun Technology was just a new company. Its prospects were still unknown. It was also the first time they were working together. It was inevitable that they were worried that Zerun Technology would directly donate money and run away.
Therefore, those manufacturers basically only gave a month's payment period.
However, after Zerun Technology's two MP3s became popular, he could talk to the manufacturers about extending the payment period...
These were things to be discussed in the future.
While Li Ze was calculating, Brony did not rush him.
She quietly waited for Li Ze's reply.
In the end, this matter did not have much to do with him. It was a matter of the transfer of shares between the two shareholders of the company.
After a while, Li Ze finally spoke,""President Ma, please help me make an appointment with Xiangjiang Yingke Digital. Let's see when it's convenient for us to meet and talk.”
Pausing for a moment, Li Ze smiled and said,""I'm indeed quite interested in Penguin Corporation's shares.”
"Good! Then I'll contact the people from Xiangjiang Yingke Digital later and make an appointment with them. I'll call you back then…"
Brony said.
"Alright!"
