"What? That project has to be tested for the Celestial Empire version first, and the operation rights of the Celestial Empire side will be decided through public bidding?"

In the small teahouse of Minerva Building, Jung Young-seok was full of shock, and the news came so suddenly that he felt very surprised. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is said to be a teahouse, but in fact, there are many employees of the Celestial Empire in the Minerva Building, but these people from a country famous for their love of tea have almost never patronized here.

Please, can Korean tea also be called tea?

Most Korean teas, according to the Celestial Empire, should actually be called "soup" rather than "tea". For example, barley tea, corn tea and various herbal teas, etc., not only is there probably no tea in the tea soup at all, but also sugar or honey is often added, which is considered a sweet drink, which is completely different from the traditional Celestial Dynasty tea.

Of course, there are still some markets for the tea of the Celestial Empire in South Korea, but because of the climate and eating habits, the tea of the Celestial Empire respected by Koreans is mostly Pu'er tea.

However, the proportion of Koreans who drink tea is not high, and it is usually the elderly, while the vast majority of young and middle-aged Koreans nowadays are more accepting of coffee than tea.

In the past year, South Korea has consumed 100,000 tons of coffee beans and less than 1,000 tons of tea.

Therefore, compared to the café, this teahouse in the Minerva Building can be said to be deserted, and at this moment, there are only two customers, which sets off the originally small architectural space and suddenly becomes empty.

But even if business isn't doing well, the teahouse won't be out of business, as it's actually a division of Naxon's Employee Welfare Department. As long as the middle-aged and elderly people who are accustomed to drinking tea in the company's board of directors and department heads still exist, this teahouse will continue to open.

Perhaps, the motivation for choosing tea, a drink that I am not usually very passionate about, also includes the fact that there are no people coming and going in this teahouse where business is not good?

In the face of Jung Young-seok's questioning, Lee Eun-seok, who was sitting opposite him, did not reply, but nodded lightly with a solemn face.

"Why?" Jung Young-seok's first reaction turned out to be full of indignation, "You and my studio have produced so many projects combined, and none of them have ever had the right to operate in public bidding, and the company has always negotiated directly with the target operator over us, and signed the contract after the negotiation is completed." You and I can't say anything about this, right? Why should a new studio that has just released its first product and doesn't know what kind of condition it is supposed to be treated specially? Or is it an open bid!

The last three-character scripture "love whitewashing" is the Korean national curse, which belongs to the more rude kind, and the relatively light is "Aixi", which is roughly equivalent to the difference between "lying groove Malegobi" and "lying groove" in Chinese.

Although Jung Young-seok looks rough and usually dresses a bit of a raunchy homeless man, he is also a producer of a well-known studio in the Korean game industry. It can also be seen how depressed and angry he is at the moment.

When he first learned the news, Lee Eun-seok's inner feelings were actually not far from the current Jung Young-seok. It's just that his personality is relatively deep, most of his thoughts will be put in his stomach, and his mood is not easy to shape, and others can't see it very clearly.

Zheng Yingxi's words are also empathetic to him.

Not to mention that the project of Lodumani Studio has made so much money for the company, our Hellcat's previous "Rocky" was once a rare fig leaf for Naxon's headquarters in the previous Korean Game Awards, and now this sequel "The Legend of Rocky Heroes" is not to mention, directly sweeping this year's game awards, including the highest award, the Presidential Award, and also bagged five other awards, helping the company to achieve its goal of sweeping with pride.

However, our game projects, whether it is "Rocky", "Rocky Heroes", or "Rocky Heroes", are not all directly assigned to Tiensiti by the company?

The so-called loss often needs to be compared in order to have a deeper experience.

Raised in the deep palace since childhood, the emperor Sima Zhen, who was clothed in fine clothes and fine food, was surprised to ask the famous "why not eat minced meat" when he learned that the people were starving to death because of the lack of food in the famine year. And when the peasants and peasant women in the countryside talk about what the emperor's life was like, they are probably inevitably unable to avoid absurd speculations such as "even the hoe is made of gold". In the final analysis, it is all about using my own experience as a reference.

Now that the producers of Hellcat and Lodumani are comparing the treatment of their respective studios' game projects to Threesome Studios' Six Paths, an imbalance arises.

Silently picked up the Pu'er tea in front of him and took a small sip gently, Li Eun-seok couldn't help frowning. Although a lot of honey has been added to the tea, the taste that is completely different from the coffee he is used to still makes him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Eun-seok, didn't President Kim explain to you why the company treats that studio so favorably?" asked Jung Young-seok with a sneer, the provocative taste in his eyes was almost invisible to him, "How can you say that you are also a meritorious person who just brought back the six awards for him!"

Lee Eun-seok snorted softly, each other have been through a lot of battles in the workplace to get ahead today, how could he not hear the subtext in the other party's words? It seems that this senior is very worried about his own marginalization in the company, and even now, when he should be consistent with the outside world, he still can't help but make some small moves to set himself up.

President Kim didn't say it directly, but I inquired about it...... That threesome studio should not be wholly owned by the company, and it doesn't even have a controlling stake. So, it's not that the company or President Kim deliberately wants to give them different treatment, but that the studio itself is different from us. Evading Jung Young-seok's trick lightly, Lee Eun-seok replied indifferently.

Jung Young-seok opened his mouth wide in shock, and for a moment he was speechless.

"Is it a surprise to the seniors? Whether it's your lodumani or my hellcat, it's a game development team that is wholly owned by the company's planning and operation. In fact, like everyone else in the studio, we are ordinary salarymen who come to work in Naxon, and we are only promoted to the position of producer because you and I are valued by the company in terms of business ability and work attitude. All of our projects were launched after the studio was established. But they are different, as far as I know, the core members of this team are looking for game companies to cooperate with with projects that have been completed and a part of the start-up capital, so Naxon is more like an investor for them. ”

While talking at length, looking at Jung Young-seok's embarrassment, Lee Eun-seok actually felt a little happy, see if you are still in the mood to play those little tricks.

This is not yet a closed beta, just the ownership of the operation rights and the controlling stake of the studio, people are already a big step ahead of us. Senior, you don't focus on the target you should target, but you always use your attention and careful thinking to me, is this really okay?

"There is also bad news, that is, at the recent council meeting, Mr. Xu Min, the representative director who has always been very low-key, rarely put forward a motion, that is, if the project of "Six Tribulations" is qualified in the closed beta. He recommended Director Zhao Cangting, who played an important role in the introduction of the team, to become the executive director of the R&D department and officially take over the planning and operation of the studio. In this way, in the future, the company will not want to directly interfere in the affairs of that studio in the name of the word, unless Zhao Changchang is replaced......" Lee Eun-seok released another bombshell.

No wonder you took the initiative to ask me out for tea today! I usually put on a calm and smelly appearance all day long, but now I finally can't sit still, right? Zheng Yingxi scolded fiercely.

"So, what do you want to say?" Jung Young-seok asked very directly.

"Things are different, I thought that the Korean operation of this game would definitely be with Naxon, and the operation of the Celestial Empire would also be handed over to Tiensit. In this way, we can interfere in the work of publicity and R&D, as long as we have some hints with those in the marketing department and the operation department...... But if the Celestial Empire game operator gets the agency right, we will have no influence at all!So I came to discuss with my predecessors whether it is necessary to take some extraordinary measures......

Although Naxon has the right of first refusal, there is really no guarantee that it will be able to take it.

Don't say anything other companies can make a profit with this condition, and Naxon itself can't do it under the same conditions.

Game operation is a very complex issue, involving many factors such as the number of users, the level of hardware facilities, and the influence of publicity, all of which will affect the specific revenue performance of a game.

For example, the agency operation rights of the Celestial Empire were given to the game "Dungeons and Warriors" under a communication software group company, not to mention that it will definitely lose money, at least under the same operating conditions, it will be handed over to Tiensiti to operate, and the profit earned may only be a fraction of what it is now.

However, that game was negotiated and launched long before Naxon acquired Neople, and Naxon could only admit this established fact after acquiring Neople. Otherwise, with Naxon's wariness of the Celestial Empire game operators, this extremely popular game may really be handed over to Tiensiti to represent him.

However, after all, Naxon is a profit-oriented game company, and if the agency contracts issued by other companies exceed Naxon's bottom line too much, and if they reluctantly take over not only cannot make money but will lose money, the board of directors will not be able to explain the past.

At this time, a smile suddenly appeared on Jung Young-seok's face, which surprised Lee Eun-seok.

"Speaking of which, there might be a little bit of progress on my side of that studio. ”
