"I'm sorry to keep you waiting. A man in a striped suit walked in from outside the conference room, apologized repeatedly, and then continued, "I'm Jin Zechen, and I welcome you to visit NCSoft." ”

Zhang Lexing looked at Jin Zechen, he looked quite young in a striped suit, and his appearance was also very ordinary, his face was a little pale and slightly haggard, and he looked like he was sleep deprived, which may have something to do with the poor recent situation of NCSoft.

Kim Taek-jin spoke Korean, but fortunately, Park Mi-hee was present, and through her translation, the two sides were able to communicate smoothly. After a few polite words, the two sides sat down again and began to get to the point.

"Mr. Jin Zejin, we are the representative of Asia Interactive's parent company, my surname is Zhang. Zhang Lexing introduced Kim Zechen through Park Mi-hee's translation, of course, he did not directly say his identity, because he didn't need to go out in person for this kind of thing, but he had never been to South Korea before, and he wanted to take the opportunity to take a look, so he snatched the things that originally belonged to the Asian Interactive and Electronic Entertainment Division.

Jin Zechen listened to Park Meixi's relayed greetings, and responded with a smile: "It turned out to be Mr. Zhang, I don't know if your company came to visit, do you have any advice?"

"I can't advise, but we at Asia Interactive are interested in your company and want to work with you. Zhang Lexing continued.

Jin Zechen was happy in his heart, although Asia Interactive has not made any big moves in South Korea in the past two years, but he has also heard that he has invested in some game companies, and now that he has taken a fancy to his NCSoft company, maybe the dilemma he is facing now will have a chance to be solved, fortunately, the people from the financial company left in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Thinking about it, Jin Zechen still asked with the same expression on the surface: "Oh, it's okay to cooperate, but I don't know what form Mr. Zhang's so-called cooperation is?"

"Our company plans to increase its efforts to expand into the Korean market, so we are looking for some suitable game development companies as partners to provide support in terms of funding, branding, resources and other aspects. Zhang Lexing explained briefly.

Jin Zechen nodded after hearing this, and asked, "Then what kind of method will you adopt for our NCSoft company?"

From Jin Zechen's heart, he hopes to get financial assistance, and it is best to only finance the projects under development alone, so that he can not worry about his company being robbed, but he also knows that the idea of Asian interaction may not necessarily make him get his wish, so after Jin Zechen finished speaking, he nervously looked forward to Zhang Lexing's answer.

"The way has not yet reached that point, we are here this time mainly to inspect the strength of your company, as for the specific way of cooperation, it depends on whether your company's strength can meet the requirements. Zhang Lexing said lightly.

Zhang Lexing's words were completely beyond Jin Zechen's expectations, and the final "It depends on whether your company's strength can meet the requirements" also made him very angry. If he had changed his military service, Jin Zechen would have had a seizure a long time ago, but after years of hard work, his edges and corners have almost smoothed out, and he can control his emotions better.

Jin Zechen took a deep breath and said: "I'm afraid Mr. Zhang's words are not appropriate, with the current strength of our company, it is definitely among the best in South Korea, if even our strength is not enough, then no one can be suitable." ”

Zhang Lexing smiled slightly after hearing this, and said: "Mr. Jin Zechen's tone is not small, but as far as I know, your company is not in the game industry after it opened in March this year, and it is only in the last two or three months that the game has really started, and your company's original team is not good at game development, until Mr. Song Zaijing's team, who has developed "Kingdom of the Wind", comes over, and your game development is on the right track. Therefore, we are worried that your company's game development strength is also normal, and it is difficult to say whether Mr. Song Jaejing's team has only joined your company for one or two months, and whether it can integrate well into your company and whether it can give full play to its own strength. Mr. Kanazawa, we need to prove that your company has strong game development capabilities......"

Jin Zechen's face darkened, he didn't expect that his old bottom had already been investigated, although this situation was not too unexpected, but it caught him a little off guard, at least now he didn't dare to pat his chest casually and brag about how his game development team was.

If he really can't prove it, Jin Zechen suspects that the other party may turn around and leave, after all, he also knows that although there are not many local game development companies in South Korea, the number is not rare, at least as far as he knows, there are several in Seoul, and they are all in a circle, although they are all competitive, but through the inextricable relationship between developers, some news can still be heard. But how to prove it, NCSoft doesn't have a finished game yet, so you can't use the "NCHTML editor" to make up the numbers.

Jin Zechen thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to use "Paradise" in development to show performance, Song Zaijing's ability He is still very sure, the "Kingdom of the Wind" with more than one million registrations is the best performance of Song Zaijing's ability, he believes that "Paradise" will be able to impress Asian interactive people.

After waving his hand and calling Jin Yingzhen over and whispering a few words, Jin Zechen turned to Zhang Lexing and said, "Mr. Zhang, in that case, I will take you to visit our company's game development department, so that you can have an intuitive understanding of our strength." ”

"That's what I mean, Mr. Jin Zechen, please lead the way!" Zhang Lexing didn't really have any doubts about the strength of NCSoft, but he was curious about the development of "Paradise" and wanted to take the opportunity to visit.

Zhang Lexing and his entourage followed Jin Zechen out of the conference room and came to the game development department next to it, perhaps for the secrecy of development, here is a large room separated separately, and then divided into multiple areas through a half-height partition for more than a dozen developers. When everyone walked into the game development department, Kim Young-jin was standing in a partition area outside, and there was an open computer on the desk next to her, and in front of the computer sat a man in a black sweater and black-rimmed glasses.

"This is Mr. Song Jae-kyung, the head of our game development department. Jin Zechen introduced.

"Mr. Zhang, hello!" Song Zaijing immediately stood up and bowed to Zhang Lexing and the others.

"Mr. Song Jae-kyung, I have heard that you have produced "Jurassic Park" and "Kingdom of Wind", both of which are great games, especially "Kingdom of Wind", I heard that the number of registrations has exceeded one million, and you have contributed a lot. Zhang Lexing took a step forward and took the initiative to extend his hand to Song Zaijing.

Song Zaijing was stunned for a moment, and then his heart warmed, for the developer, no praise can compare to the recognition of the game he developed, and he couldn't help but feel happy when he didn't think that the people of Asian Interactive were quite attentive to him. But Jin Zechen, who was standing on the side, felt a trace of unhappiness in his heart, and the Asian Interactive was not so enthusiastic about him just now, but he also knew that now was not the time to attack, so he had to endure it.

Jin Zechen coughed lightly twice and said, "Brother Zaijing, please demonstrate our game to the guests." ”

"Oh. Song Jaejing remembered what Kim Young-jin said just now, quickly sat down, called up the demo program of "Paradise", and then began to introduce it while operating it with the mouse.

"The game "Lineage" is based on a best-selling Korean manga...... "Song Jae-kyung moved the mouse and used the mouse arrow on the screen to draw a few strokes on the background text of the game, saying, "The game is a fantasy story set in the Middle Ages, with knights, princesses, magicians and thieves, and all kinds of evil characters and monsters. The social and economic system of the game is feudal kingdom, and the lords and knights maintain the ownership of the land under the rules of contract......"

"Players can give characters a variety of different identities in this social system," Song Zaijing moved his mouse and clicked on a few game pictures, "Most of the buildings, objects, game characters, etc. are created with reference to historical documents. The drawing part is drawn in 3D beforehand, and the drawing is drawn by a graphic designer with animation background and computer graphics experience......"

"Players can play as dark goblins, royal clans, knights, goblins, and magicians," Song Jae-kyung called up a few pictures with game characters to introduce, "Dark goblins and goblins belong to the same race, and they also have vision functions that are different from ordinary people...... He was a born assassin. The royal family has a super charisma and can summon members of the Blood Alliance...... Its charisma will determine the number of Blood Alliance members. The knight excels in thrilling hand-to-hand combat, defending the monarch's safety to the death...... You can use all weapons and defensive equipment, and you have a variety of combat techniques. The goblins' eyes have night vision, and they have a more mysterious aura...... Can use many types of weapons, and also has mana. Magicians can cast a kaleidoscopic array of magic, whether it's wind, fire, thunder, or lightning,......"

Zhang Lexing pretended to look at it for a while, then pointed to a newly tuned picture on the screen and said, "The detail of this picture doesn't seem to be very high." ”

At this time, Jin Zechen walked over from the side and pointed to the screen and explained. "Mr. Zhang, the screen resolution of "Paradise" is 640×480 high color, which is also decided after considering the network data transmission efficiency and the player's computer performance, in order to show more details on the same screen, the characters are relatively smaller, but we still pay attention to the details of the action, but this point can't be seen from the static picture. ”

Zhang Lexing said smoothly: "In this case, it is better to come up with something practical, just looking at the pictures can you understand the technical level of a game." ”

Song Zaijing glanced at Jin Zechen and saw that the other party had a slight forehead, so he called up a game demo program, and while operating, he reintroduced it to Zhang Lexing: "In order to facilitate players to get started, we have adopted a simplified user interaction design, and most operations can be completed by relying on the mouse...... The game is free, and players can choose their own way to play the game...... With the addition of the embedded chat function, you can freely choose the range of sends, and even chat one-on-one with other players...... The area of the plan is huge, including mountains, seas, caves, and a variety of areas for players to explore......"

Zhang Lexing watched it for a while, and saw that Song Zaijing was still talking about the game, so he couldn't help but interrupt him euphemistically: "Mr. Song Zaijing, it's okay, I have a general understanding of your "Paradise", and I also have a certain understanding of your technical level, don't talk about it anymore, it's hard work." ”

Seeing this, Song Jaejing stopped the mouse in his hand and turned his gaze to Jin Zechen, waiting for his opinion. Jin Zechen didn't care about Song Zaijing, but turned to Zhang Lexing and asked, "Mr. Zhang, then let's go to the conference room to continue chatting." ”

Zhang Lexing nodded and said, "It's okay, let's talk about it again." ”

The group left the game development department and returned to the conference room, where they sat down again. Jin Zechen opened his mouth first and asked, "Mr. Zhang, I don't know ......."

"Mr. Jin Zechen, then I won't go around in circles with you. Zhang Lexing took a sip of the tea that had been re-brewed in front of him, and then said: "We want 70% of the shares of NCSoft, you can make a price." ”

"Ah!" Jin Zechen was stunned all of a sudden, he couldn't understand what was going on, he wasn't still talking about cooperation just now, how could it be an acquisition in a blink of an eye.

"We want a 70% stake in NCSoft, Mr. Kanazawa, please make an offer. Zhang Lexing saw that Jin Zechen didn't speak when he was stammering, so he repeated his previous words again.

"Why? Aren't we talking about cooperation? Why is it now an acquisition?" asked Jin Zechen, who had recovered his strength.

Zhang Lexing smiled, spread his hands and said: "Holding is also a way of cooperation, once NCSoft becomes a company under Asia Interactive, then there will naturally be no obstacles to cooperation." ”

"No, it won't work. Jin Zechen instinctively shook his head, he had never thought of selling the company, after all, the NCSoft company was created by him himself, and it hadn't even been a year, so how could he sell it easily.

"With all due respect, Mr. Jin Zechen, your current economic situation doesn't seem to be very good, I heard that you seem to have borrowed some money from a finance company, but they are not good at ballast, don't you worry that they will come to the door one day?" Zhang Lexing shook out the news he heard from Li Chengxu yesterday.

Jin Zechen's face changed immediately, he didn't expect that even the other party knew about this matter, it seems that his company may not even have a little privacy. To be honest, he's been quite worried about this matter, and according to the frequency of harassment by those people, it's really too late for "Paradise" to be developed, and if that's the case, it's all over.

After hesitating for a long time, Jin Zechen finally gave in, he knew that even if he didn't agree, I was afraid that there would be no way to be good, maybe he would annoy the other party, and Asia Interactive would poach Song Zaijing and others in a fit of anger, then he would really have no choice, after all, the current situation of the company is really difficult to say. It's better to take advantage of the fact that you can simply sell the company's shares for some money, not only can you fill in the accounts of the financial company, but you may also be able to make some money.

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, I agreed, but I want $3 million. Jin Zechen was ruthless, gritted his teeth and said his conditions.

Zhang Lexing's face showed a smile of victory, and he knew that his future online game team could have another base for exercise and learning......
