Chapter 473 473. Cornerstone

Zhou Aiguo is definitely worried. Even a powerful enterprise can hardly compete with the government, especially in a cross-border business. Just like this time, his company suffered heavy losses without an official announcement.

What makes him extremely entangled are the industries in Jeju Island.

If Jeju Island really cancels the autonomous province plan as the news says, then the real estate industry in Jeju Island will definitely be hit much more seriously than it is now, and it may even directly drag down Zhou Aiguo's company.

But Zhou Aiguo has invested all his energy and expectations in that piece of land over the years. He is absolutely unwilling to give up like this.

And the only person who can help him make a decision at this time is Nie Wei, who persuaded him to invest in Jeju Island.

"Uncle Zhou, I am sure that this news must be inaccurate, and I guarantee that it will not be long before Jeju Island becomes a special autonomous province!" Nie Wei promised solemnly.

"Are you saying that Jeju Island will become a special autonomous province soon!?" Zhou Aiguo was stunned. Nie Wei's words were really beyond his expectations.

Nie Wei nodded to Zhou Aiguo, and confirmed his point of view.

Because Nie Wei is the one who knows the future direction of Jeju Island the most, and because he knows the answer, he has also found many clues that are ignored by ordinary people in some recent news about Jeju Island. On the surface, Jeju Island’s original development plan has indeed been hit, but in Nie Wei’s eyes, some seemingly irrelevant news is closely linked to the development of Jeju Island.

For example, Samsung plans to develop a top golf club in Jeju Island in the second half of last year.

For example, Lotte Group has expanded its organic green tea cultivation base in Jeju Island.

For example, how many primary and secondary schools have been built in Jeju Island, how much tourism value has been developed in a certain place, etc.

There are many similar news, covering all aspects from business, politics to culture.

These news are often only reported on the Internet in a small way, and they are not concentrated. They seem to be a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, and there is no connection between them, but in Nie Wei’s view, these are all signals, proving the value of Jeju Island.

If Nie Wei hadn't known the answer long ago, these messages would have been easily ignored.

And now these messages have become the basis for Nie Wei to persuade Zhou Aiguo. The industry in Jeju Island is naturally not to be sold. At the same time, this incident is a very good opportunity for Nie Wei. The stock of the real estate company has plummeted, and it is bound to be sold by shareholders. In addition, the board of directors of the real estate company will definitely be unsettled.

Nie Wei must take these shares. It is not only a matter of making money, but also can help Zhou Aiguo stabilize the board of directors. In short, there are many benefits.

Half an hour later, Zhou Aiguo felt much more relaxed. Nie Wei's persuasion was obviously very effective, so the rest was to take advantage of this opportunity to collect equity.

If you want to collect shares, money is necessary. Fortunately, Nie Wei's investment in these years has not been in vain.

"My investment company has some projects that can be cashed out immediately, and it is estimated that more than 200 million US dollars can be collected." Nie Wei said, which surprised Zhou Aiguo.

After all, Nie Wei has developed a lot of industries over the years, especially the commercial center he bought last year, which cost a lot of money. He didn't expect that Nie Wei would still have so much cash at his disposal.

"Will there be losses if we cash out now?" Zhou Aiguo didn't want to harm Nie Wei's interests because of himself.

"There will definitely be losses, but compared with the gains, it's nothing. Don't worry, Uncle Zhou, I always choose those investments that have been developed to the limit to cash out. I won't be stupid enough to move those projects that still have long-term benefits to explore now." Nie Wei replied with a smile.

He has invested in many projects at home and abroad over the years. Because of his foresight beyond this era, Nie Wei's investment rarely loses money, especially those technology stocks, which have a very strong rise and bring Nie Wei a very high return. Cashing out a project of 200 million yuan is not really a big deal for Nie Wei, not to mention that the shares recovered with this money are definitely a big profit in Nie Wei's calculations.

"Two hundred million US dollars, that is, more than 1.6 billion Chinese yuan. I can get about 1 billion here, but if it is really as you said, this money is still too little." Zhou Aiguo felt that if it was really as Nie Wei said, then this opportunity was really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The shares that could be acquired with 2.6 billion yuan were obviously not enough to satisfy Zhou Aiguo's appetite.

"Uncle, aren't some directors of your company very interested in the Starry Mineral Water Company? We can use the shares of the mineral water company to exchange them for the shares of the real estate company at an equivalent value." Nie Wei said on the side.

Nie Wei's proposal made Zhou Aiguo fall into deep thought.

So far, the water plant has developed very well under Nie Wei's strategy, and the annual financial revenue report is quite beautiful. Although there is still a certain gap with those domestic mineral water giants, the Starry brand mineral water series has occupied a very important place in the domestic mid-to-high-end mineral water market.

Fanxing Water has a bright future and considerable profits, so it naturally attracted the attention of many people. Zhou Aiguo has been hinted by many people that they hope to invest in the water plant, but neither Zhou Aiguo nor Nie Wei are short of money, and Fanxing Drinking Water Company has no blind demand for rapid expansion. Under the premise of good profits, why does it need others to come in and share the money?

But this time it is different. Although the water plant is good, it is just a sideline in Nie Wei's eyes. When it can be exchanged for higher profits, it is naturally not a non-saleable item.

Zhou Aiguo obviously thought of this. Since Nie Wei has proposed it, he has nothing to say: "This suggestion is OK, but even if we have to change, we can't suffer a loss. Leave this matter to me. I promise to use this share to exchange for the greatest benefit!"

"Well, don't forget to say hello to the government." Nie Wei did not forget to remind that in addition to the two of them, the local government also participated in the water plant. Although the other party only knows how to collect money and does not care about anything, they still need to inform the other party when the equity is changed.

Zhou Aiguo knew this, but he still smiled and nodded at Nie Wei's reminder.

In the following time, Nie Wei and Zhou Aiguo talked a lot, all of which were supplements to the details of the plan. They even had dinner in the study. They talked until twelve o'clock in the evening before Su Qing, who couldn't stand it, forced them back to their respective rooms.

The next morning, after breakfast, they locked themselves in the study again to complete the task that they had not completed yesterday.

It was not until three days later that Nie Wei and Zhou Aiguo roughly completed this business plan. Although there are still some points worth discussing, time waits for no one. If they don't take advantage of this good opportunity recently, it will be useless to make this plan perfect.

"Give me another three days, and the funds will definitely arrive." Nie Wei promised.

"The rest depends on me. This time I want to take back the controlling rights of the company." Zhou Aiguo is also ambitious. To take back the controlling rights, he must hold more than 50% of the shares. This is a difficult goal, not just a problem that can be solved by money, but Zhou Aiguo now has a lot of good cards in his hand, so he decided to give it a try.

"I'll wait for your good news." Nie Wei smiled and blessed, Zhou Aiguo also patted Nie Wei's shoulder happily. When did the rebellious boy grow up to be able to shoulder responsibilities with him? The boy has become a man, which makes Zhou Aiguo even more relieved. At least when he retires, Nie Wei will be able to take up the position he left behind.

In addition to being a consultant, Nie Wei can't participate in the next plan, and he has his own tasks. For example, Xu Canglong in Taiwan is probably waiting anxiously.

A day later, at Huayi Company, Nie Wei met with this game producer who is very famous in Taiwan.

"Hello, Mr. Xu."

"Hello, Mr. Nie."

"I heard that Mr. Xu hasn't come to the mainland for a long time. I wonder what he thinks of this time?"

"Haha, indeed, the mainland has changed a lot."

While the two sides shook hands and greeted each other, Nie Wei also looked at this well-known producer in Taiwan.

Xu Canglong's image is very ordinary. His hair style is just a simple grooming. His clothes are also ordinary. He wears a plaid shirt, jeans, sneakers, and a pair of black-framed glasses on his face. He is a standard otaku.

If he were thrown on the street, no one would think that he is a famous game producer in Taiwan. Compared with Yao Xian, he is much more impressive. Every time he meets Nie Wei, he is in a suit and tie, more like a big leader of the company.

However, the temperament and dress of the two people are also related to their circumstances. Yao Xian has indeed achieved a leadership position now, while Xu Canglong is still just a game producer. He even has to add a label of "unsuccessful" in front of him.

However, after all, he is a person who has been glorious in the past, and he has a different demeanor from ordinary people. At least when facing Nie Wei, he did not show nervousness. When introducing the concept of his game, his thoughts are particularly clear and his words are very touching.

While Xu Canglong is constantly talking, he is also observing Nie Wei.

Just like Yao Xian's first impression of Nie Wei, Xu Canglong's first impression of Nie Wei was also shocked by Nie Wei's youth. Although he had long known that this big money owner was just over 20 years old and had searched for his photos and information on the Internet, when he really faced this person, he couldn't help but sigh.

What made him feel very uncomfortable was that the person sitting opposite him looked too young, but gave him a very calm feeling, as if he was facing the leader of the company in the past. No, this person was even more imposing than those big bosses. Wherever he stood, Xu Canglong felt like he was facing a huge mountain.

What scared Xu Canglong was that when he was describing the game, he didn't forget to mix in some conditions. For example, when he talked about using the engine, he didn't forget to slightly mention the cost of using the game engine, etc. There were many similar things. Often when those bosses heard these words, they would show some expressions more or less, but Nie Wei's face was always so indifferent, which made him unable to grasp what Nie Wei was thinking at all.

"So your game plan is actually a complement to the original work?" Nie Wei suddenly said.

"That's right." Xu Canglong could not deny this. Nie Wei then asked, "What about the copyright of the game? Is it in your hands now or in the hands of the original company?"

"It's in the hands of the original company." Xu Canglong's forehead was sweating. Nie Wei asked the key points in every sentence. Just now, I thought that the other party didn't listen seriously because of Nie Wei's attitude. Now I understand that the other party actually knew it in his heart.

"That means we have to pay an additional part of the copyright fee. How much do you think this part of the expenditure will be? Your report did not mention this. What is your company's attitude? Will it release the copyright? Have you made any plans in this regard?" Nie Wei pointed to the report and asked.

"Not yet." Xu Canglong felt a little guilty when answering this, because before coming here, he only thought about how to make the game, and did not consider the copyright issue much.

But soon he said as a remedy: "The Legend of Wulin Heroes is different from the Legend of Jin Yong Heroes I made. This game is actually an unfinished product. The original company did not attach much importance to this game, otherwise it would not have cut it at the time, so the copyright fee would not be too high."

After speaking, Xu Canglong quietly looked at Nie Wei, but found that Nie Wei just nodded indifferently.

"Go on." He looked up at him and said, Xu Canglong was stunned for a moment, then realized that Nie Wei asked him to continue to introduce his game production plan, but is the copyright issue considered a thing of the past? He muttered in his heart.

Half an hour later, Xu Canglong finished what he could say, looking at the teapot that Nie Wei's secretary had just filled up, and he didn't care about his image and drank a full cup directly.

Nie Wei patiently waited for Xu Canglong to finish drinking water before speaking: "Your funding requirement for this sequel is two million?"

Hearing Nie Wei mention the issue of investment, Xu Canglong was alert for a while, nodding and answering: "Yes, Mr. Nie, don't think this investment is too much. It actually includes the studio's venue costs, machine configuration, and staff salaries, etc. Two million is really the lowest bottom line. If it is less, I am afraid it will be difficult to guarantee the quality of the game."

"Is two million the lowest bottom line?" Nie Wei muttered to himself, then looked up at Xu Canglong, who was gradually showing a nervous look, and said with a smile: "I can accept this investment amount, but I have a request. Mr. Xu, you can listen to it before deciding."
