The email from Park In-hyuk caused some of the time and events in Fu Zhengyi's memory to be misplaced, so he reorganized those memories in his mind, and he barely straightened out the development process of the kimchi game. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The world's first real online game turned out to be not the "Cyber Genesis" in his memory, but the MMORPG "Wind Country" developed by South Korea's Nexon company based on the comic of the same name.

The game was launched in South Korea in April of the previous year, after more than a year of trial operation, it began to be officially charged at the end of last year, the price of the monthly card is more than 4,000 won, which is equivalent to 30 yuan in China, although the number of registrations is only 100,000, but the highest number of online users is as high as 30,000, obviously the company that developed and operated it has made a profit.

According to Park In-hyuk, the South Korean NC team is developing an online game with more gorgeous graphics than "The Land of the Wind", and it is also in the production of several intense works, and it is expected to be released and trial operation this year.

The development and operation of Kimchi Games was so early, which made Fu Zhengyi surprised and had a sense of urgency.

Park In-hyuk, a veteran gamer, actually went to the United States for graduate school because of his love for games, but the project he founded during his study did not develop and grow as he wished, but has always been in a state of backward technology for various reasons, so he wrote a report to Xi Meijuan in January, asking [FL North America Venture Capital Company] to increase capital so that he can increase equipment investment, hire technicians with high salaries, Draftsmen to speed up the development of system tools that are more suitable for animation rendering and computer animation production required by game production companies.

The price of 300,000 US dollars is enough for [FL North America Venture Capital Company] to buy the right to use and develop the current mainstream game engine, and even allow the company to buy some small game development companies with complete technical reserves, so Park In-hyuk's request was naturally categorically rejected by Xie Meijuan, and because Park In-hyuk's report made her realize that this guy was talking more than doing, and gave a 'good ambition, 'rhetoric', ready to end the project that Park In-hyuk was in charge of as soon as possible.

What Xi Meijuan saw was that the company's early investment of $200,000 had come to naught.

What Fu Zhengyi saw was that the company spent $200,000 to find a person who knew a lot about kimchi games and had the possibility of intervening in the industry.

A phone call summoned Park In-hyuk, and a few questions after the meeting made Fu Zhengyi understand that this guy is not only quite familiar with game production companies in the United States, Japan, and South Korea, but also has a clear and correct understanding and judgment of the future development of online games.

Seeing that Fu Zhengyi stared at him for a long time but did not make a sound, Park In-hyuk became more and more uneasy, and hung his head and said. "Boss, I know that I have caused a lot of losses to the company, but I have not embezzled, let alone wasted, I eat and live in the project team, and the funds provided by Ms. Xi have been used to purchase equipment, purchase authorization, and pay staff salaries, and my monthly living expenses are less than six hundred US dollars, because of malnutrition, I was hospitalized for a month because of anemia last year......"

"Park In-hyuk, you told Hee Mi-juan that if the project team is abolished, then you will return to China to join the technology development department of Actoz and take up the position of director, what kind of games will this company develop?"

"Uh...... It's a secret that belongs to Actoz, and I, I, I can't answer ......"

"Okay, so can you tell us about the NC team?"

Park In-hyuk hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "The graphics of this game developed by the NC team are comparable to beautiful cartoons, and the use of a large number of CG makes this game far more gorgeous and exciting than the currently successful operation of "Wind Country". An accessory that can be used by the player at their own discretion, and in my opinion, the game development engine used is not technically outstanding, but they have taken the animation technology to the extreme, and this game is called 'heaven' by the developers, which means luxurious, elegant, ......."

Heaven?

Could it be the game where you can strip all NPCs naked?

The wording used by Fu Jeong-yi stunned Park In-hyuk. "How do you know this? NC has only been established for less than a year, and the outside world knows almost nothing about this company, and even I was contacted because the founder and I were high school classmates......"

Sure enough, it's this company!

"Let's talk about Actoz and the NC team, whether it is possible to be acquired, or whether it can participate in ......"

After listening to Fu Zhengyi's request, Park In-hyuk made a bitter face. "Boss, it's unlikely that I know about these situations!, but these two companies should be relatively tight on funds, and both companies promise to give me a certain percentage of equity, or should I contact that side first?"

categorically rejected Park In-hyuk's proposal, Fu Zhengyi thought for a moment and called Xi Meijuan, asking her to immediately form two negotiation teams and rush to South Korea to negotiate with Actoz and NC.

"Boss, what is the approximate amount of the overall acquisition?"

"First of all, neither of these companies has finished products yet, and game production is very costly, and my request is to take these two companies down at any cost, and their technical teams must be able to keep their ...... intact."

After explaining this, Fu Zhengyi asked Park In-hyuk whether he was interested in being a technician or hoping to be a company manager?

Not understanding the purpose of the question, Park In-hyuk thought about it and said with chagrin. "Boss, I originally studied programming, and I have a strong interest in color, graphics, and CG production, otherwise I wouldn't have gone to the United States to continue my studies...... However, in the past few years in the United States, I have learned that I do not have a special talent in program development, but I can understand the impact of a certain program on the whole, so I think I am still more suitable for a management position......"

"That means you think you have the judgment to develop games and the ability to test technical achievements, but you don't have an advantage in program development, right?"

After a moment of silence, Park In-hyuk nodded helplessly.

Fu Zhengyi smiled. "So, [FL North American Ventures] is more interested in both Actoz and NC, if you work with the company and close the deal, then you will become the company's past manager, and your future position and compensation will depend on the outcome of this acquisition, do you think such conditions are worth your effort?"

"Isn't it a wholesale acquisition? Both companies were established last year, and the projects they are developing are still not completed......

"There must be difficulties, but [FL North America Ventures] has been preparing to get involved in the game development industry for a long time, and I think this opportunity is quite rare for you, do it or not, you have to make a decision immediately, and the negotiation team will soon leave for South Korea to negotiate......"

Sent away by a plane ticket, although Park In-hyuk knew that this trip involved his future career, he didn't expect that it would only take more than an hour to decide to acquire the two game production companies as a whole, and he was ready to make himself the representative of the acquirer and be stationed in these two companies after the acquisition!

was stunned by the sudden good thing, Park In-hyuk nodded again and again in surprise. "No problem! No problem! I have spoken with the vice president of Actoz many times on the phone, and the founder of NC is my high school classmate, as long as the acquisition conditions are not particularly harsh, I believe that even if these two companies are not willing to be acquired as a whole, they are also willing to introduce strategic investors, and the development of a game requires a lot of capital ......."

With Park In-hyuk leading the acquisition of these two game production companies, Fu Zhengyi's layout in game development, production and operation can be regarded as a solid step.

There are many companies that produce single-player games, but only a few are famous.

Although he was not immersed in the game of legend when it was popular in China, this did not prevent Fu Zhengyi from knowing the meaning of this game.

I didn't expect the original layout、In the end, it started with the kimchi game。

Three days later, he received an email from Rookie Entertainment Co., Ltd., and Fu Zhengyi learned that the companies that develop and produce games in Japan are quite concentrated, and large companies such as Nintendo, Sega, and Sony have almost monopolized the industry.

However, the cartoons screened by Zhang Wenwu aroused his great interest.

The manga "Boys Over Flowers", which debuted in '86 and has been serialized in the semi-monthly magazine "Margaret" since '92, has made manga artist Kamio Hako one of Japan's high tax payers.

The trend formed by the "Meteor Garden" youth idol drama adapted from "Boys Over Flowers" is no less than the domestic "Returning the Pearl" series to a certain extent!

How many stars has a "Returning the Pearl" created?

It is naturally impossible for Fu Justice not to be clear.

A phone call was made, and it was learned that the personnel transferred by Emily had already built the company's framework, and Fu Zhengyi immediately said that her salary could be increased by 30%!

These days are busy and dizzy, and it is not easy to straighten out the matter at hand, and Emily complains dissatisfied. "Boss! You're so stingy!"

"Okay, I'll give you another task, get the adaptation rights of the manga "Boys Over Flowers" by Japanese cartoonist Kamio Hako! Remember that it must be global, I want all the authorizations for the TV series, movies, figures, costumes, etc. of this comic!"

Emily exclaimed. "That's an astronomical amount, do you know how popular this manga is in Japan?" )
