There are two games under Naxon's Prosperous Network, even though "Bubble Hall" and "Bubble Warrior" are two of the more successful parts of Lodumani Studio's bubble tetralogy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In addition, they represent "MapleStory Island", which is the work of Wizet, a company founded by former Naxon veteran Lee Sung-chan, which has now been acquired by Naxon, and Lee Sung-chan has also taken up the position of Wizet's head office, so the copyright of this work now belongs to Naxon (see Chapter 109).

With the addition of "Six Tribulations", there are four project partnerships between Naxon and the bustling network - to be honest, this result is actually not what Naxon wants. After all, for Naxon, South Korea's number one game company, to cooperate with a Korean R&D company with a "criminal record" (see Chapter 141) of a Korean R&D company with a reputation for acquiring proxy games, such as Prosperous Network, needs to be very cautious.

But no matter what Naxon's decision-makers think, it is already an objective reality that there are four games that have a partnership, and business between the two companies is inevitable.

As the R&D team producer of "Bubble Hall" and "Bubble Warrior", Jung Young-seok naturally has some work connections with the product department and marketing department of the prosperous network.

And this connection has been around for a long time - as early as 2004, "Bubble Hall" was launched in the Celestial Empire, and it has been seven or eight years now.

Therefore, for Jung Young-seok to find some trouble for "Six Tribulations" through the prosperous network operation department, Lee Eun-seok had high hopes at the beginning.

However, when Jung Young-seok came to him for dinner the next day, he brought a not so ideal answer.

"What? Prosperous Network has completely handed over the agency work of "Six Tribulations" to their R&D director? Your acquaintances in the operation department basically can't get involved? The R&D director is responsible for the operation of the project? Is there nothing wrong with the decision-making level of Prosperous Network?"

Several questions were raised in one breath, and Lee Eun-seok's usual calm and calm attitude has long since disappeared.

In fact, he really can't be blamed for this, the so-called art industry has a specialization, and R&D and operation are two different things. Such an arrangement is as incomprehensible as asking a goalkeeper to switch to playing as a striker – although in reality there are strange characters like Campos in this world.

That's exactly what they told me, saying that the R&D director had a track record of running games at another company before, and he had done a very successful job. And during the closed beta of "Six Tribulations", Prosperous Network sent him over for some reason, and as a result, he also won the agency bidding - so Prosperous Network handed over the operation of the game to him - although I also know that this answer is slightly beyond the scope of our common sense. ”

Isn't that a little more than common sense?

Are the people of the Celestial Empire so unreasonable? It's ridiculous......

Lee Eun-seok covered his cheeks depressedly and gasped, revealing a rare expression of toothache.

If there is no way to start from the operating company, I am afraid that you can only consider some "off-market moves"......

"Damn, if only we could find something wrong with the Six Tribulations!"

Jung Young-seok's muttering woke Lee Eun-seok from his thoughts, and he first glanced at the senior in front of him in disgust, and then suddenly his eyes lit up......

"Even if we can't find it, it doesn't mean that others can't find it. Although we didn't have the opportunity to touch the core of the Six Tribulations project, someone should know more about it than we do!"

Lee Eun-seok was instantly inspired and slapped his high-five, attracting Jung Young-seok's attention.

"Eun-seok, what do you mean?"

"Zheng Production, don't forget, the team of Threesome Studio joined our company with a half-finished project, right?"

Jung Young-seok nodded blankly.

"As far as I know, when the studio first joined our company, there were only six people, and one of them was a female member who was not in charge of R&D. Then, of the remaining five, four are planners — including their producers. Zheng Production, do you know what that means?"

Nervous by Lee Eun-seok's mysterious question, Jung Young-seok shook his head blankly.

"It means that there must be other original creative members in the team before them who have not come to South Korea - the front and back end of the programming department can't always be in charge of one person, right?

After rubbing his head with his eyes closed and struggling to sort out his thoughts, Jung Young-seok digested Lee Eun-seok's conclusive inference.

"Eun-seok, what do you mean?"

"Those people have either parted ways with the Threesome gang or have been abandoned by the Threesome gang, and there will be no third possibility! They must know very well what aspects of the Six Tribulations project might be problematic, and there is no reason why they would keep it a secret for the Threesome gang - so, as long as we can find them, we can probably understand what weaknesses the Six Tribulations may have!"

As he spoke, Lee Eun-seok shook his fist vigorously, showing that he had firm confidence in this conclusion.

Following Lee Eun-seok's statement, Jung Young-seok kept nodding subconsciously, but suddenly as if he thought of something, he frowned and hesitated for two seconds, and then shook his head.

"You're right, but is this useful? Where can we go to find the main creators of their previous team? The Celestial Empire is so big, can we still go to the Celestial Empire to find people? Or go and ask the people in the threesome?"

As he spoke, Jung Young-seok couldn't help but smile disapprovingly-Eun-seok, I usually look like you are such a shrewd person, but I didn't expect you to be confused!

"Zheng Production, you don't have to worry about this, I have already thought about it!" Lee Eun-seok smiled dumbly, when will it be your turn to overturn my plan? Is your intrigue brain cells enough? I can't think of any questions you can imagine?

The two hurriedly finished their lunch, and after returning to Hellcat Studios in Minerva Mansion, Lee Eun-seok made an internal phone call.

Just as it took Kwon Yong-hwan to review Yoon Sun-yong's personnel file, twenty minutes later, a copy of Yoo Ke-wei's resume was placed on Lee Eun-seok's desk.

Although there is still a certain gap in status and prestige compared to Kwon Yong-hwan, the former R&D minister and current executive director, Lee Eun-seok is a celebrity in front of the current president Kim Jung-joo, and there are people in the personnel department who are willing to provide him with "extra convenience" in some small things.

"Mingzhou Company's Hangzhou Holy Grail Studio?"

Holding the resume in front of him with one hand and tapping the fingers of the other hand rhythmically on the desk table, Lee Eun-seok read softly......

"Eun-seok, you are so smart to come up with this idea in such a short time!"

Jung Young-seok, who witnessed Lee Eun-seok's performance throughout the whole process, sat opposite, looking like he couldn't put his tongue down.

"Zheng Production, you have won the award. Lee Eun-seok shook his head lightly, and then said to himself, "The name of this company is quite unfamiliar, and it seems that there is no business relationship with our company, right?"

Most of the games operated by Mingzhou Company were independently developed after they invested in game R&D teams throughout the Celestial Empire - just like the original Holy Grail Studio, if the Holy Grail could successfully pass the alpha version of the review half a year ago, "Six Tribulations", no, it should be said that "Six Legends" - would definitely become one of the game projects operated by Mingzhou.

"Well, I guess, I don't think I've heard of any partnership between our company and this company......" Jung Young-seok confirmed Lee Eun-seok's statement.

So Lee Eun-seok summoned his assistant and asked him to check the situation of the "Celestial Dynasty Myeongju Company", focusing on whether this company has a Korean game company that has a cooperative relationship.

In less than half an hour, the results were again sent to Lee Eun-seok's case.

"It turns out that the 2003 Presidential Award was their agent? Hahaha, that's my senior!"

Lee Eun-seok smiled heartily, although he said honorifics and called the other party a senior in his mouth, but he didn't have a bit of respect.

The winner of the President's Award at the 2003 Korea Game Awards was Hope OL, developed by South Korea's YINK (Sunny) Corporation.

After winning the President's Award, the company also made a big splash, and later released a second title, Rohan OL, and a third title, Sting......

However, the company was already in trouble last year due to poor management, and even its Japanese branch was acquired by another South Korean game giant, Wemade, (the first equity deal was a 35% stake transfer).

Although WeMade is also known as the Korean game giant, if it is placed in front of Naxon, it is nothing-the company had a revenue of 87.6 billion won last year, ranking sixth in the list of Korean game companies, and Naxon is naturally the first, with a revenue of 966.2 billion won......

As for Shengni, I'm sorry, but there is no place on this revenue list that belongs to it, okay?

Not only that, according to the current situation, it is speculated that Shengni will continue to lose huge amounts this year, and it is estimated that it is likely to continue to sell the equity of the branch in order to barely maintain its operation.

So, as Lee Eun-seok, who just won last year's presidential award, Lee Eun-seok, who works for the most profitable game company in South Korea, has any reason to have any superficial respect for the "senior" eight years ago, who has been reduced to the point of mending the sores?

"Your Excellency President Kim Hak-jun, is it? I'm Lee Eun-seok from the Hellcat Studio of Naxon Corporation, I may need your help with something here, I don't know if it's convenient for you? It's just a little thing, I want to know the contact information of the main creators of a studio before your company's partner in the Celestial Empire, Mingzhou Company, well, you may need to ask them for some questions, okay, thank you so much. The name of that studio is Holy Grail, and I'll text you in a moment. ”

In front of Jung Young-seok, Lee Eun-seok made a phone call directly to the private number of the chairman of Shengni Company and made his request bluntly.
