Chapter 871: Business Opportunities
It was the luxury suite of the InterContinental Hotel in Seoul, but the car that picked up the airport was only two ninety percent new modern cars, which made Ran Ying and Li Muyang, who came together, quite puzzled. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
So after seeing the luxury of the suite, Ran Ying also raised her questions. "Mr. Fu, the cost of this suite for one night is more than 1,000 US dollars, but why is the grade of the car that picks us up so low?"
"The advantage of Koreans is that they remember history, and the patriotic spirit is rooted in their bones, the outbreak of the economic crisis has led to a significant reduction in their country's foreign exchange reserves, I heard that after learning the news through the media, people rushed to the bank overnight to line up to exchange their gold into paper money to help the country tide over the difficulties, although I am quite contemptuous and disdainful of the bad behavior of this nation, but in this point I think the people should still learn......
Li Muyang said. "It's the car that's asking, what kind of patriotism are you talking about?"
South Koreans are proud of using domestically made cars, followed by American cars and German cars, and almost all Japanese cars are self-used cars by Japanese-funded companies.
Li Muyang was stunned. "So ruthless?"
Nodding his head, Fu Justice got down to business. "Since the game's beta will start on the 18th, then you can stay here for a while as a technical observer, and when the game "Lineage" is imported into Japan, you can report to Rookie Entertainment over there!"
After returning from the United States, Park In-hyuk, who has acquired two game production companies in a row, also knows quite well that although he is the president of the company, he is actually a senior manager sent by Weizhi Technology, so he has been working hard to learn Chinese in his spare time for the past few months, although it is difficult to talk to people in Chinese, but Mandarin Chinese can be fully understood.
Seeing that the big boss spoke Mandarin to his assistant Ran Ying, but spoke in the local dialect with the young man of the same age who brought him, he didn't know what the two sides were really discussing later, so he had to wait for Fu Zhengyi to turn his face before he hurriedly handed over the documents he was carrying. "Mr. Fu, this is the internal schedule of the online game "Paradise", and the most successful online game operation here is "The Land of the Wind", which ranks first in terms of the number of registrations and the number of online users, and it is a strong competitor after the company's public operation......"
After taking the inner timetable, seeing that the text used on it was Chinese characters, Fu Zhengke nodded approvingly, sat down and read it in detail, and had some understanding of the operation of this online game led by Park In-hyuk.
Regarding the technical issues, he naturally skipped it directly, and the only thing he paid more attention to was the screening and judgment part of the plug-in, he read all of them very carefully and carefully, and then told Ran Ying to immediately send an email to Mu Zhiying about the relevant content to see if she could get some inspiration from it.
Seeing that Fu Zhengyi finished reading the schedule, Park In-hyuk spoke. According to the latest statistics, the number of registered users exceeded 250,000, and the peak number of online users exceeded 3,500......
Fu Zhengyi still roughly remembers the development history of the online game "Paradise", so he asked. "Is there any statistics on the number of Internet users, or the number of Internet cafes in the country?"
"The number of Internet users has increased greatly in the past two years, but the development of Internet cafes has only started this year, and there are currently about 2,600 Internet cafes, and it is estimated that by the end of the year, it should be able to reach about 3,000! As long as the number of paying users of the game can reach 2,000, the company's operation will not have any problems!"
Seeing that he was full of confidence, Fu Zhengyi continued to ask. "Whether it's hourly or monthly fees, it's really just to increase the number of users and compete with the online game "Wind Country", so I think we should adopt a more radical way, imitating others, and making something new myself. Does the company have any alternatives to the billing method?"
"Uh...... The planning department had a pre-filing, but it was rejected before the inside because it was too aggressive and the risks were somewhat difficult to assess," said Park In-hyuk, who took out another document from his bag. "The pre-filing is to unite Internet cafes and use account sharing to comprehensively promote the game. The advantage is that the cost settlement is convenient and fast, and the disadvantage is that the profit margin will be reduced......"
Seeing that Fu Zhengyi glanced at it and handed over the plan, Ran Ying exclaimed in surprise after reading it. "Isn't it? You can play in an Internet café for free? In this way, all the profits will be taken away by the Internet café? If there are problems such as concealment and interception, wouldn't it be done in vain?"
Park In-hyuk hurriedly explained. "No,The concealment and interception of the Internet café are based on the poor playability of the game itself、On the basis of a small number of users,I think this pre-filing is good,Good execution is a win-win!But the disadvantage is that the number of Internet cafes here is too small,If the number of active people and the number of registered people cannot reach a balance,It will cause increased server pressure、The cost will increase......
Hearing this, Fu Zhengyi's heart moved. "Is there a future for developing Internet cafes here?"
"Yes, but the initial investment is relatively large, and it requires a large number of network administrators and service personnel......
Seeing that the corners of Fu Zhengyi's lips were raised, Ran Ying shouted as soon as she thought about it. "Mr. Fu, can the plan of 100 cities and 1000 stores be implemented by the game company here?"
"I'm thinking about this problem! The only thing that is more troublesome is the export procedures and maintenance of computers, and we also lack the necessary means of supervision here, so we know that the current production capacity of computers has not been fully released, and the problem of transportation also needs to be considered......
"It doesn't matter! At present, there are many Internet cafes in prefecture-level cities in China that have just begun to exist, and if the second Internet café in the same area is postponed, wouldn't that be able to solve the problem of insufficient production capacity of Weizhi computers? Moreover, the monitors that must be purchased can also be exempted from import duties. If we can solve part of the funds through local banks, I think it should be more cost-effective than building Internet cafes in third-tier cities in China......
Ran Ying's analysis was exchanged for Fu Zhengyi's approving nod, but Li Muyang, who was sitting on the side, was confused. "Stop, stop, stop, didn't you come here to visit the game company and confirm the operation status of this online game?
"Business opportunity!
Fu Zhengyi's answer made Ran Ying smile, pursed her lips and hurriedly began to record in her work notebook.
Li Muyang became more and more puzzled. "Business opportunities? For the operation of an online game, you are going to invest in an Internet café here?"
"Internet cafes are now a sunrise industry, and you should be able to make money by opening Internet cafes. If the game company takes the lead in reaching an agreement with the owner of the Internet café, then not only will the game itself get more attention and profits, but it will also set up industry barriers for those companies that want to develop and operate online games, whether it is blocking or suppressing, these are all good ways to increase the income of game companies!"
Li Muyang scratched his head and thought for a long time, then he was stunned. "Aren't you?
Fu Zhengyi turned his face and asked Park In-hyuk if the company reached a cooperation with the owner of the Internet café and artificially set up barriers for competitors in the process of operation, would it cause legal problems?
had long been stunned by the big boss's open-minded thinking, Park In-hyuk waited for Fu Zhengyi to ask for the second time before he hurriedly said. "I need to ask legal counsel about this, but as far as I know, there doesn't seem to be any legal provision yet. Besides, if the company really intervenes in the Internet café industry, it is natural and reasonable to take some measures against competitors. It's like if I open a beverage store and I only want to sell apple juice, and the law can't say that my store must also sell grape juice from competitors, right?"
"That's a good analogy!"
Inside the game of the eighteenth, Fu Zhengyi doesn't particularly care.
At present, the number of Internet users in South Korea is only so small, and it is almost unrealistic to want to get high profits through game fees, and the main work at present should still be on cultivating the number of Internet users.
How to carry out the industrial layout of the basic end has become the top priority of this trip, so after Fu Zhengyi summoned She Haibo to inspect the Korean Internet café industry, Fu Zhengyi also felt that the implementation of the domestic '100 cities and 1000 stores' plan could be postponed and he would make every effort to develop large-scale Internet cafes here.
After spending two days in Seoul inspecting local Internet cafes, She Haibo was shocked by the high fees and huge profits here, and when he returned to the hotel, he couldn't wait to rush into Fu Zhengyi's suite. "The billing system of the Internet café here is still relatively primitive, do you think we can take the billing version that our peak network will use?"
Sitting on the windowsill and enjoying the street view of Seoul, Fu Zhengyi turned his face and said. "You're the general manager of the Jianfeng Network Club, and you have to ask me about this kind of thing?"
"Aren't you used to it! Big things naturally need you to decide, and of course I am obligated to run errands!"
"The scale of the Internet café here is not large, but you want to copy the domestic plan of 100 cities and 1,000 stores, although the purchase of property must be profitable, but the payback period is too long, you take the time to study the situation of the Internet café here with Park In-hyuk, not only to be able to quickly enter the industry, but also to make a comprehensive withdrawal plan, South Korea is not friendly to foreign capital, you don't need to have scruples in terms of capital, but you need to think in advance about the realization of assets, don't go wrong With so many Internet cafes smashed in your hands, something is going to happen......"
"Don't worry! This kid surnamed Park was frightened by your courage, and the translator told me that the employees of the company couldn't imagine that Weizhi Technology was so rich, and many people applied for a visit to the head office to learn ......."
Fu Zhengyi's heart moved. "Visit, study, good! I wish they were all willing to go to Hanzhou to work! You have time to communicate with the supervisor-level employees below, if there are many people who are interested in going over, then simply move the company back to China......
