156 Mr. Lu’s “Use Barbarians to Control Barbarians”
Lu Fei and his party left Nexon and went straight to Ncsoft.
He didn't have an eye in the back of his head, so he didn't know there was a spy following him, and it wasn't a spur-of-the-moment move. He completely followed the route arranged by Ren Yuyi.
In the entire game park, the most popular MMO is none other than Nexon. "Lineage" beat Nexon so much that it forced Kim Jung-soo to find another casual online game track.
"How long have they been at Ncsoft?"
Kim Jung-soo looked gloomy and crossed his hands.
The cell phone placed on the table turned on the speaker, and he replied that it would take at least half an hour, making it clear that he preferred "Paradise".
After all, it is popular all over the world and has tens of millions of players.
When I think that this online game was the first work of one of the founders of Nexon, Song Jae-jing, that is, his old partner defected to the new owner, I feel itchy with hatred.
"Besides Ncsoft, what other companies has he visited?"
The spies mentioned more than a dozen, including large companies and small workshops. They had no taboos and were hanging around the game promotion center.
Kim Jung-soo frowned, studios like Neople and T3 were unheard of, and the only one that had any reputation was Net Chan.
"Yes, President, the "Miracle MU" launched by Net Chan was rated as the 'Best Online Game' by the media."
"Huh, third-rate game tabloid."
Jin Zhengzhu smiled and focused entirely on Lu Fei's strange whereabouts. He was looking for NCSoft to picture "Paradise". What was he looking for in these small workshops?
He couldn't help but think of "Bubble Hall" plagiarizing "Bomberman", and a terrible and evil thought came to him. He would not let a small workshop copy his plagiarism and imitate "Bubble Hall"?
There was a bang, and he slapped the table in shock: "????(stinky boy)!"
"President?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and he asked doubtfully: "They have left the park now, do they still want to follow them?"
"Follow, let's see where they live?"
………
Jiangnan Service Apartment Hotel, late at night, the lights are brightly lit, and snowflakes are falling outside the window.
Inside the house, there is floor heating, and it gets so hot that white steam comes out of the pot.
Lu Huateng was in the same room as Lu Fei. He breathed at his glasses and wiped them with a cloth, "Mr. Lu, do we really want "Miracle"?"
“Paradise is too expensive.”
Lu Fei hummed and made two cups of corn silk tea.
"Indeed."
Lu Huateng nodded, is that expensive? At that time, Gui Fu opened the door for Gui. It was so expensive that it cost 3 million U.S. dollars, and the share was 19%.
"However, there are many online games that are worse than "Paradise". Their quality and popularity are higher than "Miracle", although "Miracle" is cheaper."
“It’s not just cheap.”
Lu Fei handed over the tea. The Holy Master wanted to teach his disciples a lesson about what it means to do something and love something.
The reason why "Miracle MU" is popular is just one word: dazzling.
It has a cool shape. In addition to career changes, it is also the first to create gorgeous big wings. You can lose in a fight, but your posture must be handsome.
"Is "Legend" highly playable, and is the story of the game fascinating? It's neither, but the game experience!"
Lu Huateng listened attentively, listening to the simple but profound new words that came out of his mouth, such as "social pressure" and "trading hatred". He carefully thought about it, and his view of games was greatly improved.
"Games are not just about fighting and killing, but also about human relationships."
Lu Fei said that his throat was dry, so he drank some water to moisten his throat.
Lu Huateng realized it again, "Mr. Lu, I understand. The most important thing in social games is the number of people. Lu Xun once said that our countrymen love to join in the fun."
"Did Lu Xun say this?"
"I told you, I told you."
Lu Huateng was convinced and agreed to represent "Miracle MU".
Compared with "Paradise", it only costs 500,000 US dollars and a 14% share. Since it has only been in operation for 2 months, there is currently no overseas agent coming to the door, which is equivalent to picking up a leak.
Lu Fei narrowed his eyes when he saw that he was one step closer to the Ponylu who said, "He's not brave and he still wants to become stronger."
"Don't take the budget you saved this time back. I think SmileGate and Neople are good, so just invest some money in them."
"Investment?" Lu Huateng was startled.
Lu Fei slowly walked to the window, and in the snow, he pointed to the game industry area not far across the way.
"That's the incubator of stick games. Inside the eggs, there will inevitably be golden eggs like Actoz. Once we smash them, we might get a big prize."
Lu Huateng thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed feasible.
Hundreds of millions of Korean won is a lot for Bangzi's studio, but it's only a million RMB. If you enter an angel round, the studio may even be swallowed up in the first round, which is less than Penguin's turnover in half a month.
Lu Fei said: "Not only can we make money, QQ or Foxmail can release a Korean version. If a popular online game is released..."
Lu Huateng's eyes lit up, "Use it as an account, and Penguin can open up the situation in Bangzi Country, use Japanese to control Japanese, and let the game company lead the way for us..."
"Shh."
Lu Fei put his finger to his lips, "The most important thing is self-research. There will only be more and more companies like us looking for Bangzi agents in the future, and the agency fees will definitely be sky-high. Self-research is the way out."
Lu Huateng is transparent with just one click, and is not available in China-->>
[Reading updates are slow to load, there are ads, and chapters are incomplete. Please exit Reading and read again!]
In the game environment of Bangzi Country, even the talents poached from Ubisoft are mostly working on single-player games and lack experience in online game development, so research and development will inevitably fall behind.
Buy shares and acquire several companies, either learn and communicate, or send out work. In short, learn from the foreigners and learn skills to control the foreigners, and cultivate gaming talents.
"Divide the people poached from Ubisoft into several groups. One group will be agents to learn operations, some will be exchanged to learn R&D, and the other group will develop new tricks on their own after completing the game lobby."
Lu Fei looked at the snow-covered game park, his eyes full of expectation, and took a sip of hot tea:
"One day, we will also have such a land, and have a lot of games to go overseas, so that we can earn not only our own money, but also the money of foreigners."
Not just taking money from your own family?
Lu Huateng's eyes widened. Is this still Mr. Lu?
In an instant, my mind wandered slightly, and I was further away from the Pawnee deer who said, "I don't care, I still want to become stronger."
…………
In the next two days, Lu Fei seemed to have traveled back 20 years. The penguin at this time was just like the penguin 20 years later, buying, buying, buying.
rich!
In 2001, the number of QQ accounts exceeded 100 million, the total operating income exceeded 260 million, and the profit was nearly 80 million, equivalent to 10 million US dollars.
Also powerful!
Overseas agencies have both soft and hard requirements.
The soft ones include channel capabilities, promotion capabilities, and operational capabilities, while the hard ones include agency fees, server setup, maintenance, and bandwidth standards, etc.
Coincidentally, this penguin is armed to the teeth, with a carrot in his left hand and a stick in his right hand. He is given money and food, and does not interfere in R&D operations.
Bangzi's small studio has little experience. He has seen millions of Korean won and tens of millions of dollars, and he can truly appreciate the depth of China.
SmileGate, which created "Cross Fire", is interested.
We are considering producing T3 of "Audition".
Neople, who created "Dungeon Fighter", was the first to kneel down and sing Conquer.
Nexon,office.
"12% equity, 150 million won (1.12 million rmb)?!"
Kim Jung-soo looked confused. When he heard the news about Penguin’s successive investments, he glared at the vice president and others: “Does our policy allow such investments?”
"They are in the name of BVI (Viking Offshore Company)." The vice president pursed his lips.
What is this Lu Fei doing? Is he throwing money away?
Jin Zhengzhu panicked, he must have wanted to plagiarize my "Pao Pao Tang". After all, among Bangzi's colleagues, the best thing is plagiarism.
Like "Paradise" is a copy of "Diablo".
"President, the three-day period has expired."
The vice president reminded: "Penguin's President Lu and others may be leaving for China. Should we invite them or not?"
"Please, go and invite me quickly."
Jin Zhengzhu waited anxiously for a while, but Lu Huateng and Ren Yuyi were waiting. Lu Fei and the translator were missing.
Lu Huateng explained: "Mr. Lu is at Ncsoft. Let us come here first. If the negotiation is successful, he will come immediately."
Jin Zhengzhu was excited, "Does it mean that if we agree to be an agent, Penguin will not cooperate with Ncsoft?"
"Mr. Lu and I mean this."???..coM
Lu Huateng nodded, "We are very aware of the grudges between your two families. We don't want to get involved with you and will only choose one of them."
Kim Jung-soo thought for a while, weighed the pros and cons, and gritted his teeth and said: "Okay! Just 14%! However, the agency fee of 400 million won cannot be less, and if the guaranteed share does not reach 300 million (155rmb) won, you need to make up for it!"
Lu Huateng touched his chin and agreed.
Since it is a game that Lu Fei is optimistic about, no matter how poor the profit is, it will not be much worse. The monthly turnover of "Legend" is tens of millions of RMB, and "Bubble Hall" will not be without millions.
He did not compromise blindly, but also asked for the agent's modification authority. He did not just passively follow the instructions of the game developer, but was able to make limited modifications under the guidance of the technical representative.
This is also written in the contract.
Immediately afterwards, the details of the contract were discussed, an authorized agency agreement was drawn up, and the international fax was sent back to China.
At this time, Lu Fei had had enough of acting, and withdrew from Ncsoft and appeared in Nexon, smiling and extending his hand.
Kim Jong-soo is like eating a watermelon with flies on it, without any joy at all. He is smiling but not smiling.
Lu Fei said: "President Jin, you will definitely be proud of today's decision in the future."
"I hope so."
Kim Jung-soo twitched the corners of his mouth slightly and clapped his hands.
Amidst the sparse applause, I suddenly heard a ringing sound. It was not a ringing bell, but a fragment of a female song.
Colorful ringtone?
Lu Fei remained calm, applauding and curiously asked: "What is that?"
"Ai Ling Service."
The vice president blurted out and then explained briefly.
Lu Fei listened absently, with a meaningful smile on his lips.
The agreement is confirmed and there is no rush to sign the contract.
When Zeng Liqing led the business team to take a flight from Yanjing, that is, on the afternoon of the 8th, under the witness of Lu Fei and Jin Zhengzhu, Penguin and Nexon officially signed an agency agreement.
Also on the same day, I won the title "Miracle MU" from Net Chan.
