Chapter 51: Throwing Money

After meeting with people from Wilson Law Firm, Su Yan took Xia He and Zhou Hongyi to Webzen's headquarters that afternoon.

The two parties first exchanged simple polite greetings, and then had substantive business contacts in the conference room.

The person in charge of negotiating with Su Yan and the others this time was Webzen's Executive Park. Following Su Yan's actions, a thick financing plan was placed in front of Executive Park.

Looking at the contract in his hand, Mr. Park was also quite confused. He knew very well that Webzen now had two companies, Shenxiu and Ninetowns, competing for Miracle Agency.

However, he was not confident about the final results of Miracle. Compared with the established game companies like NCsoft, Webzen at this time could only be regarded as a studio at best.

The practical difficulties they face are also exactly the same as those encountered by NCsoft online game company Kanazawa during the Asian financial crisis. Companies with European and American capital that went to South Korea to buy goods looked down upon them.

What's more, other people's strategies are clear, that is, large-scale acquisitions of entity companies that have temporary operating difficulties, but are quite competitive internationally.

Otherwise, it is to acquire past competitors or parts that it lacks, and then conduct a better integration to enhance its competitiveness.

They were even in a worse situation than NCsoft at the time. At this time, the so-called computer games produced in Korea around the world, could they be called electronic games?

It is estimated that only China, where the Internet has just started, would think so.

Therefore, even those who have the idea to invest in the field of video games will choose companies in Europe, America and RB.

What's more, competition in local games is also huge. Many companies like them were forced to close down by their domestic counterparts. Legend's being represented by Shanda helped them find a new direction, which is the Chinese game market.

After Mr. Park carefully read the contract, he raised his head and turned his attention to Su Yan. He said seriously: "You want too many shares. I can't make the decision alone."

After being translated by the translator, Su Yan looked at Executive Park across from him. It was obvious that the other party was a little interested in his proposed investment, but he was also full of concerns. After all, once capital was introduced, they might be kicked out if they made a mistake.

"It's okay, we're not in a hurry, but you'd better give us a result as soon as possible."

Su Yan said calmly.

In Webzen's president's office, after learning about Su Yan's investment intention from Executive Park, he immediately summoned the company's top managers for discussions.

Originally, they thought that Su Yan came here to discuss the matter of agency Miracle, but they did not expect that the other party actually came to their company.

"President, agree. As long as the other party's funds come in, everyone here will become a new rich man."

An old employee who has been with Webzen since its establishment said excitedly.

"But since the two companies in mainland China are so optimistic about our miracle, why should we accept their investment? In terms of production and playability, our miracle is enough to beat the legend currently represented by the Chinese company Shanda."

Another manager obviously had a different view.

"Okay, I decided to accept their conditions."

In the end, the president made the final decision to accept the investment from Shenxiu Technology.

After discussions with the company's management, they finally agreed to give up 40% of Webzen's shares to Shenxiu Technology.

The next day, the two parties signed a contract directly. From then on, Shenxiu Technology will become the second largest shareholder of Webzen.

After it was confirmed that Shenxiu Technology's funds had arrived in the company's account, Webzen, as the host, did not forget the landlord's duty as a host. So after signing the contract, he went directly to a high-end Korean restaurant in JN District, Seoul to entertain Su Yan and his party.

people.

Just as Webzen and Su Yan were exchanging glasses of wine in the Korean restaurant, Jiucheng, far away in China, also received the news.

In the Ninth City, all the staff looked at the president's office with trepidation.

Bang!

As the person in charge of negotiating agents in South Korea came the news that Webzen and Shenxiu Technology had reached a cooperation.

The Motorola in Zhu Jun's hand turned into parts all over the place.

Since seeing Shanda's rising users and revenue after being an agent of Legend, Zhu Jun also spent a lot of effort to find South Korea's Webzen company to represent their upcoming Miracle. As long as he can win the exclusive agent of Miracle in China, he will

I have the confidence to have a good arm-wrestling with Chen Tianqiao.

As one of the first people to set foot in Internet development, Zhu Jun has both vision and courage.

Not to mention the era when BATs emerged in later generations, in the first ten years of the new century, Zhu Jun was definitely ranked high in the Internet industry.

In 2001, when Shanda's agent for Legend became a domestic gaming giant and made a lot of money, he immediately introduced Miracle in 2002. With this, The9 became the only company in the industry that could compete with Shanda, which represented "Legend"

, and Zhu Jun also became the second person in the Chinese gaming industry to join the list of billionaires after Shanda Chairman Chen Tianqiao. Later, he grabbed the "World of Warcraft" developed by Blizzard from NetEase at a cost of 13 million US dollars.

》The exclusive agency rights in China were not ended until 2009.

Unfortunately, with the emergence of Su Yan, Miracle, which was originally supposed to be represented by Ninetowns, became represented by Shenxiu Technology.

After everything was settled, the flight that Su Yan and his team took from Hancheng to Yanjing landed safely on the runway of Yanjing Capital International Airport.

The person in charge of picking up the plane this time was Hao Liang. After Su Yan and his group got off the plane, they easily spotted Hao Liang standing in the crowd holding a big board.

After receiving the person, Hao Liang walked towards the exit of the hall of Yanjing International Airport.

After exiting the airport lobby, Hao Liang opened the car door. After Su Yan and others got in the car, he closed the car door, then sat in the driving position, holding the steering wheel with both hands, and started the car slowly.

Su Yan sat in the back seat of the car and looked at Zhou Hongyi sitting in the passenger seat and asked.

"How do you feel about your time in Hancheng?"

Zhou Hongyi thought carefully for a while before reporting seriously: "Gap and opportunity, during my time in South Korea, I found that we still have a long way to catch up with South Korea in terms of the Internet. It is hard to imagine that a person in South Korea who can only

Games developed by a second-rate game company can actually be so popular in our country. This is also an opportunity for us. As long as we can seize this opportunity, we may not be able to stand at the top of China's Internet field in the future!"

"It's not easy to see this, but the bottom line is just two words, throw money! As long as you spend enough money, sooner or later you will surpass your opponents. After returning this time, the game department will be completely independent from Shenxiu Technology.

At the same time, Shenxiu’s second department, the investment department, also started to be established. Is there any problem with you being in charge of the Xiahe investment department?”

Su Yan looked at Xia He as he spoke.

"I have no problem, but after Mr. Su takes charge of the investment department, what will your assistant do?"

Xia He said hesitantly.

"You should still take on the concurrent role. The investment department is just your deputy, and the main position is still my assistant."
