Chapter 302: World Video Game Championship
"Regarding the CF incident of Penguin Games, according to the WTO agreement, the government cannot prohibit CF from acting as an agent in our local market. The only thing that can ban CF from entering is up to everyone. Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you recognize the threat that CF poses to our country's gaming industry, and I hope that you will refrain from engaging with Penguin Games. â
"Don't worry, Chairman Li, we won't cooperate with Penguin Games if we die."
"Yes, President, Penguin Games is the sworn enemy of our Korean game company, how can we cooperate with them."
"That's it, President, you've already had this meeting three times, how can we still be in contact with Penguin Games?"
Indeed, regarding the CF thing, the Korean Video Game Association, plus this time, did open three times.
The content of the three times is basically the same, but this time, Li Jiu still feels that it is necessary.
In particular, when Penguin Games announced the sales record of CF for the month, Li Jiu felt that it was too necessary.
He was afraid that some of these Korean game companies would not be able to resist CF's profits, so he cooperated with Penguin Games.
Therefore, he has only turned it over three or five times, constantly repeating this topic.
Looks like it's not bad.
Many game companies still hate penguins, and they have unanimously stated that they will not cooperate with penguin games.
It's just that Li Jiu was wrong.
In this world, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Not to mention that Zhang Ning just shouted a few words in the media, even if it was Zhang Ning's real knife and real gun and Korean games. However, when the endless benefits are placed in front of their eyes, any game company will be tempted. The same is true for Korean game companies.
As for why they still scolded the penguin game at the meeting, they just made a show for Li Jiu.
On the day of the meeting, NHN, South Korea's largest game operator, secretly traveled to China to contact Penguin Games.
Zhang Ning was not surprised that NHN sent someone to come.
However, he did not agree to work with NHN so quickly.
He's waiting, waiting for a better time.
I have to say that Zhang Ning's strategy is very correct.
With the first, there was the second, when the Korean game company learned that NHN Games was in contact with Penguin Games. NEX Games, a South Korean game company, also immediately launched a cooperation with Penguin Games. And, in order to show their sincerity. NEC Games also told Penguin Games that if CF is represented by their company, all profit sharing can be four or six cents. That is, Penguin Game 4, NEC Company 6.
It can be said that such a sharing ratio is already a considerable concession.
For such a sharing ratio, although Zhang Ning knows that the general agency company will make a profit of 7 percent, and the game development company can only be 3 percent. After all, they are responsible for the entire operation of the game, while the game development company is only responsible for the technical research and development, and nothing else is needed. Moreover, game development companies can proxy games to multiple game companies, one in South Korea and one in Japan.
However, Zhang Ning still did not nod.
He's still waiting.
As a result, without Zhang Ning agreeing, all of a sudden, the major game companies with the best names in South Korea appeared one after another.
In the end, the South Korean EM company gritted its teeth in one breath and successfully won the agency of CF with a ratio of 55 shares.
And when the Korean media announced such news, Li Jiu, as the president, was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
"These untrustworthy guys."
He hated it.
I hate these guys, knowing that the introduction of CF into South Korea is definitely a big blow to my country's game industry.
However, this group of guys is still for the benefit of their own company, regardless of the whole country.
Just, so what?
For the merchant, where will he consider what government is not government, and the country is not state.
As long as you make money, that's a real skill.
It's just South Korea.
Zhang Ning successfully promoted the CF he developed to the Korean market.
If nothing else, the Korean market is not particularly large. However, South Korea has a well-developed Internet industry. In addition, China has launched a plan to revitalize the electronic information industry, and their telecommunications infrastructure is very perfect. Just like later generations, the country with the fastest Internet speed in the world is also South Korea, reaching more than 70m. Therefore, in South Korea in 2001, basically every household already had a computer and connected to the Internet.
Therefore, from the perspective of the overall game market, the Korean game market in 2001 was also worse than that of China.
What's more, CF is still being introduced to South Korea in the form of free-to-play games.
This can stimulate countless players to enter the online game market.
Of course, except for South Korea, because of the popularity of CF in North America. Other countries have also sent representatives to contact Penguin Games, hoping to represent CF as an agent for this game. Similarly, for such an agent, Zhang Ning would definitely not refuse, and approved them one by one. Although, in some countries, there are only a few million game populations, Zhang Ning also agreed.
He wants to make CF completely popular in the world and become the hottest game in the world.

"Li Jiu, how did you become the president?"
Choi Jong-hyun, director of South Korea's Ministry of Information Industry, reprimanded Li Jiu with a very unhappy face.
"Didn't you say that we don't have a single game company in China that cooperates with Penguin Games? Now look at it, these guys, in order to be able to act as CF, almost got into a fight. You say, what are you doing, the president? â
"Director, this ......"
Li Jiu's body trembled, and his expression was very nervous.
"Director, actually, you can't blame me for this. I also expected that Penguin Games would come up with a plan to represent CF in our country. So, I had three more meetings for that. However, they openly stated that they would not have any contact with Penguin Games. However, as soon as the meeting ended, they immediately contacted Penguin Games. And, Director, you know it too. We, the gaming association, can't stop them from doing business properly. â
"Humph......"
Cui Shengxian snorted, although he still wanted to scold this Li Jiu again, but in the end he endured it.
"Let's put this matter down first, now CF is already very popular in China, Li Jiu, don't you have a little action?"
"This, this ......"
When asked this question, Li Jiu didn't know how to answer.
As soon as CF landed in South Korea, it has created more than 300,000 simultaneous online ZĂ o, which is a miracle. And, with his free ride, he attracts players who don't play the game before. Industry insiders predict that after three months, CF will definitely be able to exceed 500,000 online at the same time in South Korea. At that time, basically, the domestic game market was already the world of CF.
It's just that in the face of this problem, Li Jiu didn't know what to do.
You can't ban them, their game is popular, he's the president, what's the solution?
However, it is impossible for Li Jiu to say this kind of complaint.
Nervous, Li Jiu suddenly said, "Director, I think we can hold a worldwide video game competition. â
