Chapter 374: Acquisition of Smile gate

Games are an industry closely related to human nature, and the game industry belongs to the entertainment industry, and in general, people are still very willing to pay for entertainment.

As a major money-absorber in the game industry, the online game industry, which is an emerging sunrise industry, has experienced the initial formative stage at the end of the 20th century and the rapid development at the beginning of the 21st century.

There are not only listed companies such as Shengda Network and Ninth City, but also non-listed companies such as Guanghui Games that are vigorously investing in the online game industry.

"Lao Guan, have you had time to go to South Korea with the people of Korn Ferry Games recently?" Jiang Hui said to Guan Weidong, deputy general manager of Korn Ferry Investment.

"No problem, during this time, I have basically invested in the main domestic express companies for a round, and I want to report to you to confirm the key investment direction in the next stage," Guan Weidong said.

"Online games are currently the main source of profit for the group, and the construction of data centers and the capital increase of various companies all depend on the funds of Guanghui Games. At present, the first online game work of Korn Kuang Games, "Glory of Kings", has been successfully launched, but the strength of Kojn Games in online games is still insufficient, I want you to go to South Korea and buy a few game companies back", Jiang Hui said.

"The game industry is indeed a green and sunrise industry, and if the group can gain a firm foothold in this field, it will not have to worry about the development funds in the next three years. Mr. Jiang, do you have any specific requirements, or do you want me to go back and do some research, and then consider which game companies to invest in?", Guan Weidong said.

"I don't have many specific requirements, but I heard that Smile gate is developing a game, and I'm very interested, so this company must get it, and you can do the rest, and buy a developing game company first," Jiang Hui said.

In order not to make the acquisition of Korn Ferry seem so abrupt, Jiang Hui wanted to acquire several game companies at the same time to cover up the acquisition of Smile Gate. Anyway, it doesn't cost much to buy a few small game companies, and the money earned behind "CrossFire" must be drizzle.

"Okay, so what's our budget for this time?", Guan Weidong said.

"Let's prepare 100 million yuan first, but after this acquisition, we will ask each company to arrange some people to come to the imperial capital to work with the employees of Korn Radiance, and at the same time, we must also allow the personnel of Korn Glory Games to go to South Korea to learn game development with them," Jiang Hui said.

"I see, Jiang always wants to exchange funds for experience and talent in game development," Guan Weidong said.

"Pretty much, and it's an investment. With the rapid development of the Internet industry and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, online games will definitely become more and more popular, and the acquisition of these companies is likely to increase significantly in the future," Jiang Hui said.

After arranging the acquisition of a Korean game company, Jiang Hui went to Korn Glory Games to talk to Bai Xue and others about the development of "Ray Blazer".

"Glory of Kings" has been developed, and the follow-up is more about operation and maintenance, patching some bugs and the like, as for upgrading, there is no hurry. So now it's time to move some of the developers over to develop Lightspeed, and at the same time take the opportunity to hire some more people.

"During this time, everyone was busy with the affairs of "Glory of Kings", and it was hard work. With this momentum, I hope that the company will be able to develop another game. In addition, I also arranged for Guan Weidong of Guanghui Investment to go to South Korea to buy several game companies in the name of Guanghui Games.

"That's no problem, most of the online games currently operating in China are developed by Korean game companies, and we can quickly improve the company's development experience by acquiring Korean companies," Bai Xue said.

"I already have some ideas about the new development of the game. This time, I'm going to develop a racing game, so you can learn about cars with the people at Autohome in advance," Jiang Hui said.

In addition to taking into account the popularity of "QQ Speed" in his previous life, Jiang Hui also wanted to cooperate with his own automobile business in the future. When the time comes, you can implant some advertisements for Glorious cars in the game, and presumably this effect will definitely not be bad. Especially when these game fans are ready to buy a car, they will definitely give priority to the models used in their games, which is also very helpful to enhance the brand influence of Guanghui Auto.

"Mr. Jiang, can you please introduce the game setting of "Radiance Speed" to us first, we can't wait to find out. Every time Mr. Jiang launches a new game plan, it's always full of creativity," Geng Shuangshuang said.

"This time I'm going to create a grand game backdrop for Ray Speed. My vision is this: on a continent with fantastic scenery, there are three kingdoms of speed, wind, fire, and fantasy, and all the subjects of the three countries are race car drivers. On this continent, the stronger the level of racing, the more people can respect, and the person with the strongest level of racing will be elected as the king by everyone. These drivers who live in the kingdom of racing are proud of their excellent racing skills, and they see racing as their whole life, and they survive, fight for it, and put all their heart and soul into it. No matter when and where, there are all kinds of big and small racing competitions going on non-stop," Jiang Hui said.

"Whether it's in the city, in the mountains or by the sea, there are professional tracks where drivers are constantly honing their skills. On the borders of the three countries, the drivers compete with racers from other countries in order to prove their strength and for their national honor. There is no gunsmoke, no war, no harm and deception, and all disputes are resolved by competition. This is the world of Radiance Speed," Jiang Hui said.

"It feels so interesting, I think this game will definitely be popular," Bai Xue said.

"After "Radiance Speed" became popular, there must have been a lot of car companies approaching us about advertising. I think our company can make a lot of money from advertising alone," Geng said.

"You are really the Minister of Finance, and you think about making money all day long", Bai Xue said to Geng Shuangshuang with a smile.

"Hehe, I still think that Mr. Jiang and Mr. Bai will give you more bonuses, of course, you have to pay more attention to the company's profitability", Geng Shuangshuang said.

After that, Jiang Hui talked to everyone about "Radiance Speed", and the development of this new game was started. According to Jiang Hui's plan, if it is fast, it will be at the end of this year, and if it is slow, it will be able to launch "Glorious Speed" next year.
