Chapter 072: The Halo Effect

The flight that Kishimoto took from Tokyo to Seoul, South Korea, landed safely on the runway of Gimpo International Airport.

The person who picked you up at the airport was Ryuai Miyazaki. He held a card with his name written in kanji in both hands, so that Kishimoto could see where he was at a glance.

After Masayoshi Kishimoto got off the plane, it was indeed easy to find Miyazaki Ryui's position in the crowd. He walked towards the other man without hurrying.

Miyazaki Ryui took the initiative to reach out and ask to pull the suitcase for the boss, while smiling and greeting, "It's been hard all the way." ”

Masayoshi Kishimoto let go of the suitcase lever and handed it to his hand and said, "Running around and flying around is our duty." ”

Miyazaki Ryujing naturally understands this truth. Following Kishimoto's pace, he pulled his suitcase and headed towards the entrance exit of Gimpo International Airport.

Out of the airport hall, Miyazaki opened the trunk of the car, put the suitcase in first, and then closed the trunk lid. He sat in the driver's seat and drove with both hands on the steering wheel.

Masayoshi Kishimoto did not sit in the back seat of the car, but directly sat in the passenger seat. In his opinion, at this time, the two are not just a relationship between superiors and subordinates between bosses and employees, but a relationship between good friends.

The car had been started, and Miyazaki Ryujing drove a long distance, and it was only after he reported seriously: "South Korea's Neowiz Game Company sent someone to contact me to seek relevant cooperation. ”

"It seems that Neowiz Games has been positively influenced by our investments in NCsoft Online Games and NEXON Computer Games, which has caused us to experience a halo effect. ”

Masayoshi Kishimoto, who had just set foot on South Korean soil, heard good news. His heart is beautiful. South Korea's Neowiz Games Co., Ltd. was established on June 6, 1997.

Although it is a game company, it is not the same as NCsoft Online Games and NEXON Computer Games.

It has achieved a differentiation strategy in the future positioning of the online game market. NCsoft Online Games and NEXON Computer Games are mainly engaged in 2D/3DMMORPG online games for PC clients.

Neowiz Games Inc. mainly operates the game portal Pmang. It will gradually develop into online communities (Say Club), online games (Pmang) and large-scale online games.

IN ADDITION, IT ALSO DEVELOPS CONSOLE, PSP AND ONLINE GAMES DJ MAX1, DJ MAX2, CROSS FIRE, WAR LORD, DUEL GATE, PERFECT KO, etc.

It has partnered with the American company EA (Electronic Arts) to develop the prestigious online football game - FIFA ONLINE.

The online game "CrossFire", also known as "CF", which was later known to Chinese players, was created by Neowiz Games. It will grow to become the third largest game company in Korea.

Masayoshi Kishimoto is like a mirror, and allowing himself to invest in South Korea's Neowiz Games in June 1998 is definitely a wise choice and decision as the original investment in NCsoft online games and NEXON computer games.

"How are you going to talk to them?" asked Kishimoto with a pertinent and targeted approach.

"I have always adhered to the principle that the boss requires 40% of the shares to invest in a company, so as to euphemistically express our intentions.

At the same time, it is also clear that we invested in NCsoft online game company and NEXON computer game company to get 40% of the shares.

Today, the actual size and operating conditions of companies like Neowiz Games are not as large and operating as NCsoft and NEXON Computer Games.

Naturally, I will not ask for the principle of less than 40% of the shares, and I will also ask for the same rights of the same shares. Miyazaki Tatsui told the truth.

"Good. At the beginning, the reason why I was able to offer weighted voting rights to NCsoft and NEXON was to enter the Korean computer game industry as quickly as possible.

Now, we have broken into it, and we have established a very good reputation in the industry, that is, we are more often just watching as spectators, paying attention, and not interfering in it.

This project is left to you to follow up. The minimum I need to invest in shares in any one company is not less than 20%. "Kishimoto confessed.

Miyazaki Ryui responded to a "understood", but in his heart, if he can't even get 40% of the shares of Neowiz Game Company, and doesn't he can't reflect his talent?

Therefore, his demand for himself is just like what he said to Kishimoto, not only to ask for 40% of the other party's shares, but also to ask for the same shares and equal rights.

If the other side does not give in, he can use non-investment as a coercive condition for the breakdown of negotiations. In all fairness, he doesn't think much of a game company like the other party.

It's just that the boss has a special explanation, so that he can not only do what he likes, do what the boss wants, but also follow the rules, and it can't be wrong to invest in the Korean game industry.

"What is the trend of the real estate industry in Songpa-gu, JN-gu, and Seocho-gu in Gangnam in Seoul, South Korea, which I have paid special attention to and is concerned about?"

In addition to the computer game industry, Kishimoto's current investment in South Korea is the real estate industry.

Seoul is divided into two by the Han River, and the south of the Han River is called JN-gu. In later generations, it was regarded by many as a gathering place for the wealthy in the Seoul area, where many wealthy and celebrities lived, and symbolized "fashion" and "affluence".

"Gangnam", which is also referred to in Uncle Bird's famous song "Gangnam Style", refers to JN-gu in Seoul. In fact, Gangnam 3-gu, Songpa-gu, JN-gu, and Seocho-gu are the places where Seoul locals see the concentration of upper-class people. However, the three districts of Jiangnan are often the gathering places of the nouveau riche.

Seoul locals also know that the real rich people in South Korea have old money, and most of the presidents of large companies live in LS District, north of the Han River.

The reason why the housing prices there do not move much, on the surface, seem to be cheaper than those in the third district of Jiangnan, is because the people who live there have never thought about selling.

Why should others sell their ancestral business because they are not short of money? Not to mention that the vast majority of them have inherited their ancestral business, and they will not sell it. Even if you don't live there, you don't sell it.

Koreans are also heavily influenced by Confucian culture. This sale of the ancestral business is something that belongs to the unworthy descendants and the sons of the ruined family. A pot like this is still not carried by anyone, nor does it dare to be carried.

Unless it is generally sold to the point of exhaustion. Therefore, it does not have an overall plan like the Gangnam 3 District of Seoul, which was developed after 2000, with large-scale demolition and construction, just like the Magic City vigorously develops the PDX district.

Buying these houses in undeveloped places as early as possible means buying early, benefiting early, and making money early. When housing prices rose sharply, they slowly made a move and made a lot of money. However, Kishimoto's idea is to hoard land and seek the cooperation of local Korean real estate companies to make this money together.
