The two gold medal producers of Naxon stand together, and the contrast is very stark. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Jung Young-seok is a typical IT man who is rough and uninhibited, while Lee Eun-seok, who wears a pair of black glasses, looks delicate, restrained and reserved, and dresses very carefully, more like a white-collar worker in the workplace who pursues fashion.

Two people who are completely different from their inner values to their external image styles are now seemingly intimately next to each other.

There are more than two dozen computer desks in four rows, and in front of each desk sits a QA, playing the same game.

The eyes of the two focused on a monitor in front of them.

"Realistic Celestial Immortal ......" Jung Young-seok muttered as he wrapped one hand around Lee Eun-seok's shoulder and rubbed the stubble on his chin with the other.

"This is a typical MMORPG,......" Lee Eun-seok muttered with his arms folded in front of his chest, frowning.

The two have different focuses, with Jung Young-seok seeing the art style and Lee Eun-seok caring about the genre.

"This type of style is rare in our company. Jung Young-seok pouted, "There is no similar existence in the works of those acquired subsidiaries." ”

"Not to mention our company, it is estimated that the entire Republic of Korea will not be able to find the second paragraph. Lee Eun-seok nodded.

Koreans are naturally familiar with the culture of the Celestial Empire, but after all, there is still a layer of window paper, so it is easy and easy to accept the game style of "Legend of the Six Paths", but it is really not easy for them to make similar game works.

"The market positioning of this game should be based on the Celestial Empire, right?" Jung Young-seok seemed to be asking Lee Eun-seok, and seemed to be asking himself, "It seems that the company plans to continue to expand the Celestial Empire market?"

More than 40 percent of Naxon's business revenue comes from the Celestial Empire, more than 20 percent comes from South Korea, nearly 20 percent from the Japanese market, and the remaining fraction is shared by North America and Southeast Asia.

This is the embodiment of the huge gap in market size, Naxon's market share in the Chinese game market is far less than in South Korea, and much worse than Naxon's market share in Japan, but the business revenue from the Chinese market still easily exceeds the Japanese and Korean markets combined.

In this context, it's no surprise that Naxon is desperate to expand into the Chinese market, and it's not just Naxon, but the vast majority of South Korean game companies are playing a similar role.

To Jung Young-seok's surprise, Lee Eun-seok shook his head slowly for this question.

"The appearance of this game in our company was actually just an accident. Even the new studio itself was only promoted by Director Zhao. ”

After Kim Jung-joo became president, the reformists became the mainstream of the decision-making level of Naxon. Although Jung Young-seok is the producer of Lodumani Studio, which has the highest revenue and cost performance, the news channels from the company's upper echelons have become increasingly closed.

He knew little about the cause and effect of Threesome Studios joining the Naxon Company.

It was precisely because he was worried that the establishment of the new studio would further marginalize his position in the company, so he just heard that the new project was being tested in the QA department, so he hurried over to find out.

"Director Zhao?" Zheng Yingxi looked very surprised, and only repeated these three words before closing his mouth, but the thick doubt could be easily heard.

Didn't he never get involved in game development? He was sent by the former president to serve in the closed army, and after more than two years of discharge, he disappeared for almost a year, and only recently reappeared in the company.

When did he have this kind of strategic vision and grasp the company's development focus and launch such a MMORPG that can be said to be tailored for the Celestial Empire market?

"It's not the former president, it's the idea that the special minister gave him. Lee Eun-seok pursed his lips, looking a little meaningful, "President Kim shouldn't have much hope for this studio, and when he returned to our studio, he joked that it was whimsical for Director Zhao to be in charge of the R&D team to establish a studio." ”

Hearing that President Kim didn't attach much importance to this game and the R&D team behind it, Jung Young-seok's expression suddenly relaxed a lot, and he even patted Lee Eun-seok on the shoulder.

"Hey, Eun-seok. What do you think of the game, and is there any chance of success?"

Lee Eun-seok shook his head with a smile and said, "Senior, are you kidding me? These things you see now are just an enhanced demo version at best, and they are still early before the alpha version, what can you see?"

Moreover, it is still a full Chinese game interface, many QAs are even guessed operations, just watching for such a little time, to evaluate its quality, it is really impossible to say.

Jung Young-seok patted the QA in front of him on the shoulder and asked, "Hey, what are you guys testing here?"

The QA looked back, quickly stood up and saluted, and said respectfully, "We are testing the collision detection system of the game engine." It is said that there was an occasional bug in this project before, and the characters sometimes fell from the ground, and the R&D team seems to have dealt with it, so let's confirm if the problem has been resolved. ”

"How can the collision detection system have this kind of bug?It seems that the technical level of this team is seriously not up to par......" Lee Eun-seok sneered, "This kind of team can join Naxon, has the threshold of Minerva Mansion been lowered to this extent?"

Jung Young-seok's face stiffened unnaturally, Lodumani's works are all casual games with low technical content, and Lee Eun-seok's words are clearly referring to this new studio, but in fact, he is despised by Lodumani. However, he couldn't fight back, after all, the comment was made by the other party pointing to the new studio's game.

At that moment, a man appeared at the door of the room. After seeing Jung Young-seok and Lee Eun-seok standing in the room with different expressions on their shoulders, he was stunned for a moment, then snorted lightly, and walked straight in.

"Zheng Production, Li Production, why is it so coincidental, you two are also here?"

The QA who was talking to Jung Young-seok turned his head and was immediately startled, and hurriedly bowed again to greet him.

"Hello, Jinzhuo!"

At the same time, he silently said in his heart: What day is it? What an evil door, the three giants of Naxon's producers have actually gathered together in this QA office!

The most profitable studio under Naxon is Lodumani led by Jung Young-seok, the highest-rated studio in the industry is Hellcat led by Lee Eun-seok, and the single most profitable game is "Dungeons & Warriors" (DNF), a product of the subsidiary Neople, and the producer of this product is the Kim Jong-taek in front of him!

Unlike other subsidiaries, Neople was not acquired by Naxon because of poor management, but because it caught Naxon's attention in 2005 with the launch of the hugely successful side-scrolling action game Dungeons & Warriors. In July 2008, Neople's president, Xu Min, immediately became a well-known young billionaire after selling his company's shares to Naxon, which attracted widespread attention from the society.

Not only that, after the transfer of shares, Xu Min, the former president of Neople, was elected to the board of directors of Naxon and took up the position of representative director, and his position in the company was second only to the president.

Neople's masterpiece Dungeons & Warriors also achieved the feat of 150,000 simultaneous online users, for which it won the PC Platform Game Industry Association Award (Popularity Award) at the 2007 Korea Game Awards.

Because of these reasons, the whole of Neople did not regard themselves as a loser who was swallowed up by Naxon, and even vaguely felt that Naxon was just an investor who accepted more than half of the company's shares, and Kim Jong-taek naturally became the banner of Naxon's foreign faction.

Now, the three banners of the patriarchs, the reformers, and the outsiders have unexpectedly come together!

Jung Young-seok and Lee Eun-seok were also very surprised when they saw Kim Jong-taek appear. After the three of them smiled and shook hands, Zheng Yingxi, who had the longest experience in the industry, asked curiously: "Zong Ze, why are you here?"

Jin Zongze squeezed out a smiling expression and said, "Your special agent called me, saying that there is a new game being tested, let me come and take a look, and give me a little comment or something if you can......"

The location of Neople is also located in Yeksan-dong, Gangnam-gu, not far from the Minerva Building of Naxon, which is just over a kilometer away and less than two kilometers away, so it is very easy to come over.

However, Special Minister Zequan ignored Jung Young-seok and Lee Eun-seok, who were working in the Minerva Building, and went directly to Kim Jong-taek to evaluate, which undoubtedly embarrassed the first two.

The arrogant Lee Eun-seok even let go of his face and looked very unhappy. And Zheng Yingxi, who is even more in the city, laughed twice casually, and said disappreciably: "Zong Ze, did Agent Kwon say that he has any evaluation of this game?"

None of these three producers can trust Director Zhao's vision. However, Kwon Yong-hwan, the executive director who has been in the position of R&D minister for several years, is a different matter, and when it comes to experience in game development, these three producers can be said to be unable to catch up with others.

Attorney Kwon said that he had seen the complete production outline of the game, and said that if it could be fully realized, the game would have a chance to become a representative MMORPG masterpiece and a key to opening the Celestial Empire market. The smile on Jin Zongze's face was quite amusing, "Because he said this, it aroused my curiosity, so I couldn't wait to come over to see what was going on." You must have already arrived before me, right? Can you tell me about it?"

Is it true that Kwon has such a high opinion of this game? Jung Young-seok exchanged a look of surprise with Lee Eun-seok, and then invariably turned his head to stare at the monitor in front of him again, and the look on his face was much more solemn.

P.S. Actually, Xu Min became president of Naxon (2009) after selling his stake in Neople, and in this story, President Naxon at that time is an alternate character, the father of Cho Cang-ting.
