"Don't you know Zhang Ning?"

There is something strange about Guo Zairong.

"I don't know."

"Forget it, don't talk about it, it doesn't matter if you recognize Zhang Ning or not, in short, I'll hire you now to be the heroine of my savage girlfriend, Miss Jun Ji-hyun, I don't know if you're willing?"

"Willing, willing......"

Trembling, Jun Ji-hyun agreed.

……

"Mr. Zhang, there is something wrong with the agent in South Korea."

Having decided to enter the Korean market, Penguin Games has officially sent out the news of recruiting agent games to the media.

It's a pity that it's been three days since the news was released, and there are few companies that are interested in acting as an agent.

"I know."

Seeing that there were no game companies in South Korea coming, Zhang Ning frowned.

It seems that it is not so easy to open up the Korean market.

Although CF is a big hit in the Korean market, CF is a series of hype. In addition, the later Legend of the Jin Gu Heroes did not succeed in South Korea, not only the Legend of the Jin Gu Heroes, but almost most of the domestic online games were not successful in South Korea. This is also the result that Chinese online games in South Korea have gradually lost their popularity.

And that's just one of them. Second, South Korea is already a big game country. Although Zhang Ning messed up and kicked them back to the local market. However, the development capabilities of Korean game companies are much stronger than those in China. They already have an unknown number of games in their own market, and there is no need to represent games from China.

There is another aspect, I am afraid that it is also the general legend of mortal immortal cultivation, which did not arouse their interest.

At least, Zhang Ning knew.

Heaven's upgraded version, Heaven 2, his game screen and gameplay are much more than mortal cultivators.

Moreover, Lineage 2 is also the most popular game in South Korea.

"Mr. Zhang, I think it's okay, the Korean game market is not particularly large, and our game agents can't make much money there. It is better to concentrate and dominate the domestic market all the time. Or, it is not impossible to go to the European and American markets. ”

"Nope."

Zhang Ning shook his head, "We are already the first in the domestic market, and there is no need to monopolize the entire market." As for the European and American markets, several of our online games are not suitable for Europe and the United States. Although the Korean market is much smaller than the domestic market, their game culture is the closest to ours, and if we don't control the Korean market, it will still threaten our country in the future. ”

In later generations, Zhang Ningke deeply realized the potential of Korean games, and this time he was reborn, he never thought about making Korean games better.

"In this way, Tong Lei, let's add one more condition to pass."

"On what terms?"

"As long as we act as an agent for mortal immortal cultivators, then, we at Penguin Games will personally participate in the entire operation of the game."

"Ah......h

Tong Lei said in surprise, "You want us to help them operate?" ”

"Yes, that's the only way to attract them."

"But isn't that helping them make money?"

"What's wrong with that, helping them, isn't it helping us? Besides, I wish that the whole of South Korea had been acting as an agent for our domestic online games, even if they made more money because of it, I didn't care anymore. ”

I have to say that Zhang Ning's bargaining chip is difficult for some game companies in South Korea to refuse.

Although with the exception of CF, the games on the Chinese side are not doing well in the Korean market. However, Korean game companies still recognize the operation level of Penguin Games. In particular, Penguin Games has come from behind, not only launching one classic game after another, but also making them amazing. Penguin Company actually completely dominated the entire market with a legend of Jin Gu Qunxia that they thought could not be worse.

At the beginning, they thought that the legend of Jin Gu Qunxia was not as bad as they imagined, and perhaps, he still had a lot of advantages that he hadn't discovered. As a result, some game companies tried to represent the Legend of the Ancient Heroes to South Korea, but the cup is that as soon as the Legend of the Ancient Heroes was launched in South Korea, just like the legend in South Korea, only a few hundred people were online at the same time.

Later, they understood.

It's not that the games developed by Penguin Games are good, but their ability to operate games is too powerful.

This time Penguin has a new game, if it is just an agent of this new game, many game companies in South Korea are not interested. As Zhang Ning said, they have to develop at least hundreds of games in South Korea every year, and they are eager to export to other countries every year.

However, when Penguin Games said that it could help them run the game, they completely surrendered.

Dozens of Korean game companies have sent special personnel to Penguin Company, vowing to win the legend of mortal immortal cultivation.

In the end, Zhang Ning chose the Korean EM company that they cooperated with for the first time.

signed a contract with EM company, Zhang Ning let Tong Lei and Chen Qingqing stay in China, and went to South Korea first.

This time he went to South Korea, Zhang Ning didn't bring anyone, just one person.

Before the Mortal Immortal Cultivator landed in South Korea, he had to learn about the Korean game market firsthand.

The first stop was a large Internet café in Seoul, South Korea. According to the figures released by the World Internet Survey last year, the fastest country in the world is South Korea, with an average speed of 10 meters. This coincides with the results of later surveys, and in later generations, South Korea's Internet speed was also the highest in the world, reaching 70 meters against the sky.

At the same time, because South Korea attaches more importance to the Internet and electronics, the Korean PC industry is very hot.

In addition, their Internet cafes are also different from those in China.

The Internet café in Seoul that Zhang Ning entered has a total of two floors, and after a rough look, each room is at least 500 square meters.

Such a huge Internet café made Zhang Ning feel like he had returned to 2014 in later generations.

In 2014, China's PC computers have also entered thousands of households, and it stands to reason that Internet cafes have not developed much at that time. Many people will wonder why they go to Internet cafes when everyone has a computer. However, in China in 2014, Internet cafes still have a lot of profits. It's just that these Internet cafes have changed their business methods. They are no longer the same as they were around 2002, just putting some computers on a rough display for netizens to try out. In China in 2014, as long as there are some large-scale Internet cafes, they have begun to move towards the high-quality, professional route.

The decoration of the whole Internet café is very luxurious, including the computer, as soon as the netizens enter the Internet café, they give you the feeling that they have not entered the Internet café, but have entered some high-end clubs. At the same time, in 2014, the cost of Internet access in these Internet cafes was also very low. Low does not mean that it is not profitable, on the contrary, with such a low price, he has attracted many netizens to team up to go to the Internet café, which is a day.

That's right, if you stay at home and play alone, there is no group of people who have fun in an Internet café, especially when playing games.

In this way, the price of Internet access is relatively low, but you can go on for a few hours and ten hours, and the profit will naturally come up.

This South Korean Internet café gave Zhang Ning the same feeling as China's Internet café in 2014, which touched a lot of Zhang Ning's nerves.
