Chapter 2323
I should have had more children
From the very beginning of her collaborations with the mainland, Lou Xiao'e has been involved in projects like rice cookers and electric fans.
Therefore, her main businesses now are the traditional electrical appliance industry, the kitchen and bathroom industry, and the slightly more advanced communications and internet industry.
A few years ago, she took over a game company, and recently, based on her husband's game ideas, she developed two level-based games.
Locals on Hong Kong Island are unaware of it yet, but it has already been quietly launched on platforms like Little Life and América and has become a hot seller.
Coupled with the global success of the Atari 2600, it quickly opened up the market.
The graphics in current plumbing games are quite rough.
But all the necessary settings are there.
It costs 4900 yen on Little Life, but only about 30 US dollars per serving on América.
Little Life expects to sell 1.5 million cassette tapes this year.
The figure for América is probably five or six times higher.
The funny thing is that the company's R&D team was still living a simple life.
Furthermore, when Lou Xiao'e acquired that company through Ran Qiuye and his wife, she registered the company under a small business name to avoid any obstacles from others.
So, not long ago, Little Days even touted their victory of conquering America with their local games.
Capital from other sectors is also waving checks, hoping to invest and get a share of the profits.
It has now been discovered that Lou Xiao'e is the largest shareholder of the company, and the shares have been arranged by Lou Xiao'e to form cross-shareholdings.
She co-owns three companies: one she registered in Ameryka, and another she registered in Xiao Rizi.
Others want to get in, or want to use some underhanded tactics on her, but they are also wary of her shareholding arrangement and have no way to get in for the time being.
The key issue is that the hype surrounding "Little Life" was really over the top a while ago.
If it were revealed now that the company's owner is from Hong Kong Island.
This is likely to be the biggest scandal of the year.
So those minor media outlets are now giving it the cold shoulder.
No reporting, no publicity, pretending not to know.
Of course, this matter definitely needs to be resolved.
Lou Xiao'e will inevitably need to bring in some private capital or foreign capital in order to make the pie bigger.
These are things that can't be helped.
Their market is there; if you don't help them make money, even if you manage to steal a chicken successfully, you'll inevitably face difficulties in the future.
So recently Lou Xiao'e has been in contact with investors on both sides, the only questions being how many shares to sell and at what price.
Her current advantage is that if things get too tough on her, she'll say she's going to move the entire company to América.
After all, she had paid a high price to register the copyrights for all the game settings, including the character designs, based on her trust in He Yuzhu.
If Lou Xiao'e says she wants to move the company back to Hong Kong Island, then Xiao Zi might dare to go head-to-head with her.
But in front of América, Xiaoziri dared not make a sound, not even wagging her tail too much.
Lou Xiao'e has invested a total of one billion Japanese yen in this company alone.
It seems like a huge sum, but when converted to US dollars, it's over four million four hundred thousand.
Before 1971, the Japanese yen had a fixed exchange rate of 360 yen to one US dollar.
After the Bretton Woods system collapsed, the value of money in my daily life began to slowly appreciate.
There's a trade-off here: if the domestic currency appreciates too much, it will inevitably affect exports.
Therefore, Xiao Rizi (a nickname for a person) also forcibly suppressed the appreciation of the Japanese sword.
However, América is becoming increasingly impatient.
Because of their humble beginnings in light industry, they've now surprisingly ventured into the high-tech machine tool manufacturing sector. Before, they were just making clothes and plastic flowers...
Since the 1970s, modern small-scale manufacturers of precision machine tools, automobiles, and home appliances have been steadily eroding the market share of American companies.
Therefore, Amarica is pressuring the Little Life currency to appreciate.
At this critical juncture, even small-time investors dare not gamble on what the consequences would be if they were to acquire a gaming company that owns shares in Americard.
Lou Xiao'e is like walking a tightrope; she appears calm and composed, but in reality, she is very tense.
Of course, if you want to make money, you have to bear this kind of pressure.
She couldn't possibly sell a game company valued at over 300 million for a cheap price.
This time we're talking about US dollars.
There always has to be a premium.
Lou Xiao'e's expectation was that Xiao Rizi and Ameryka would each introduce a portion of capital.
Forty percent of the shares were sold off.
It should sell for at least two hundred million US dollars.
Therefore, Ran Qiuye's $20 million electronics production line was really not enough for Lou Xiao'e at this time.
In fact, Lou Xiao'e agreed to help Ran Qiuye so easily today.
In fact, it also falls under the category of rewarding merit.
After all, it was she who had Ran Qiuye and his wife handle the acquisition of that company.
It just changed its name a few times and underwent two equity swaps.
Game companies today are completely unrecognizable.
Even Ran Qiuye, who was in the business world, was unaware that they had spent one or two million US dollars to acquire a small workshop.
It has now become a multinational company with a market value of over 100 million.
This sense of accomplishment made the wealthy woman Lou Xiao'e very proud.
After all, it was given to her by her man.
If you earned 300 million US dollars in the Hong Kong Island real estate market, what a huge commotion that would cause!
How many people will be blinded by greed, wanting to take a piece of her flesh?
However, He Yuzhu only gave her some paper with comics drawn on it.
The investment and waiting over the past few years is like planting seeds, watering and fertilizing them, and then the three hundred million dollars are safely in your pocket.
If this round of financing is successful, the company's estimated value may be inflated to over one billion US dollars.
Once the news is released, and the hype is built up, she can capitalize on the IPO frenzy and potentially make a billion or more.
It's still in US dollars.
These design drawings that He Yuzhu gave her back then were used to create another He Group for her.
With such a good husband, what more could a woman ask for?
Lou Xiao'e pinched the excess fat around her waist and couldn't help but sigh.
If only I had known, I should have given birth to a football team for He Yuzhu while I was still young.
Who knows, He Yuzhu might be even more motivated and draw her even more things.
Ran Qiuye naturally didn't know why Lou Xiao'e sighed, and thought that Lou Xiao'e was blaming her for cooperating with Xiao Rizi.
She couldn't help but sit up straight, knees together, and explained, "I just promised to give Xiao Rizi's orders a discount."
Nine-tenths discount.
That would probably mean giving up a profit of a few hundred thousand US dollars.
That guy surnamed Lan isn't worth that much; it's not worth me betraying my conscience.
"Just be careful yourself."
"And it's best not to show up yourself, lest you give those petty people any leverage." Lou Xiao'e glanced at the other person and casually gave them this advice. (End of this chapter)
