Chapter 358: Visit
PS: xiexie85884867 pro's two monthly passes!
Sending a few newcomers out, regarding the trainee draft activity, Cui Zhengyuan's part of the work is over.
Next, how to integrate these potential stocks into the atmosphere of A.P company and help them make progress is a matter for the trainee department itself.
Executive Cui, who has a lot of opportunities, doesn't have so much energy to take care of such trivial matters.
But this does not mean that he is idle, in fact, in his current position, every day is a busy job. It's not in the company, it's his private business.
After tidying up a little, Cui Zhengyuan left the company again and rushed to a hotel not far away.
Today is a special day, Blizzard sent two program testers and a successfully developed game to the door in person.
Needless to say, that game must be Warcraft 3.
The success of War3's research and development is the happiest person is Cui Zhengyuan, an investor.
Blizzard is Blizzard, and it didn't waste millions of dollars in additional investment, and now the fist product is finally available.
It was from War3 that Blizzard gradually grew into the No. 1 game company in shijie and created a glorious history.
How to promote War3, a real-time strategy game, has become the top priority at present.
In the U.S., Blizzard chose the stage for its promotion at the E3 Game Show. I believe that through this world's most professional and prestigious expo, War3 will definitely shine like in its previous life.
But that's not enough, Choi Jung-won needs War3 to be able to establish its position faster.
However, the game industry has its limitations, and it is impossible to advertise it at any cost like other products.
Mike. Mohan tried his best, but the results were not satisfactory. Zuihou had to hand over the problem to Cui Zhengyuan's hands to see if the big boss had any haode solutions?
Mike. Mo Han even came up with a trick to make Cui Zhengyuan's contemporary spokesperson, but he was forcefully vetoed.
Because in the confrontation with Sony, he is still on the defensive for the time being, and Cui Zhengyuan doesn't want to expose his strength too much.
But he is simply from the past. There is also a hint of shijie cup close at hand, so you naturally know what to do.
Every year, there is a top event in the global game industry, where countless top masters show their jishu on this stage, dedicating one classic game after another to game fans around the world.
This event is WCG.
If it's any other event, Cui Zhengyuan really doesn't have any haode way. But WCG itself is an event initiated by South Korea, and it has a messy relationship with Samsung.
So Choi Jung-won found Jung Hyun-ho, the head of InternationCyberMarketing, through Lee Jae-jin's relationship, and gave feedback on his intentions.
Who Choi Jung-won is, Jung Hyun-ho naturally knows. I also know the relationship between the Cui family and Samsung.
In such a situation, although he didn't know what Cui Zhengyuan said about the gameplay and competitiveness of "Warcraft 3", he didn't recklessly refuse because the other party was a layman.
However, out of consideration for the negative impact on the brand event, he did not rashly agree. Even when Lee Jae-jin was on the phone, the suggestive words couldn't be more obvious, and he withstood the pressure.
After thinking about it, he found a compromise solution, which was to ask Choi Jung-won to take the game to InternationCyberMarketing for a field test.
If this game is really good. Then it is understandable for him to give personal favors. But if it's really unsightly, the facts are there, and I believe that no one can say anything if he refuses.
For Zheng Hyun-ho's rigorous attitude, Cui Zhengyuan appreciates it very much. The mall wants to be bigger and stronger. You can't just accommodate people. Otherwise, he will lose his judgment and principles, and Zuihou will be defeated.
The two program testers sent by Blizzard are both experts in PC games, but they also have the common problems of IT people. That is, it is enough to be homely, and it is not good at socializing with people.
Cui Zhengyuan spoke enthusiastically for a long time, but he couldn't get three responses.
It is difficult to communicate with each other. Choi had no choice but to drive with the two of them to InternationCyberMarketing.
His arrival was warmly welcomed by Jung Hyun-ho. After all, regardless of whether the zuihou cooperation can be reached or not, the arrival of Choi Jung-won is a lot of praise for InternationCyberMarketing.
Choi Jung-won declined Jung Hyun-ho's invitation to visit the company and went straight to the subject. "Representative Zheng, do you see if we are going to start testing it now? Everyone's time is precious, no, I have a meeting to attend in two hours. ”
When he said this, Cui Zhengyuan smiled wryly.
Jung Hyun-ho is a shrewd person, so he can naturally see that Choi Jung-won is telling the truth, not arrogant and unwilling to hand it over.
The nobleman is busy, and he has a lot of things to do. Originally, it was just a polite gesture, but seeing that Cui Zhengyuan did have a problem, he didn't care about himself. He smiled and led Cui Zhengyuan and the others towards the PC studio. "It's okay, I understand. However, in the future, Mr. Cui will have time, but he must come to our ICM company more often to take a look and provide guidance. ”
Cui Zhengyuan hurriedly shook his hand and said modestly: "I don't dare to take this seriously, everyone communicates with each other." To be honest, I'm very optimistic about the future of WCG. In terms of competitive games, I'm also going to get involved. Please take care of your company in the future. ”
Cui Zhengyuan is also familiar with this field and knows some doorways. Even if it is much worse than other industries in terms of generating profits, it is still a way to publicize.
"Oh, Executive Cui also thinks that there is a lot to be done in the field of game competition?" Jung Hyun-ho was really surprised.
In the universal concept, play has always been a sign of non-business, so parents are generally very opposed to children diving headlong into it.
In such a social environment, ICM's event organization activities have always been difficult. In comparison, even in Europe and the United States, the development situation is better than that of Asia.
If a celebrity like Cui Zhengyuan, who has great social influence, participates, it will definitely be the most haode publicity signboard. With his position in South Korea, it is not even a problem to reverse the consciousness of ordinary people.
What Jung Hyun-ho didn't know was that since this year, the South Korean government has begun to vigorously support the electronics industry. And e-sports, as an advantageous project, has been greatly favored.
The recent fame of SlayerS_BoxeR is a rehearsal of this situation.
With the advantage of rebirth, Cui Zhengyuan wants to make a career in the field of e-sports, so he should naturally know how to choose.
With a huge transfer fee of 1,500W won, the emperor became a member of wNv, an e-sports union founded by him.
This transfer has not yet been announced, otherwise it would definitely become a shocking news that detonated the Korean e-sports industry in early 2001.
Not only did he win the SlayerS_BoxeR, but Choi Jung-won also launched a relationship in a dimly lit small Internet café in Incheon to find Jang Jae-ho, who was still studying StarCraft in a daze.
In StarCraft, a popular game in South Korea, the abused Jang Jae-ho couldn't figure out what potential he had worthy of being signed by a professional gaming club.
It wasn't until the club director handed him a disc called Warcraft 3 and tried it out that he plunged headlong into the new game Shijie and couldn't extricate himself.
In a few years, his game ID: Moon will become popular with the Night Elves' "Blowing the Wind" tactic.
Trained in the same room with him, there was also a handsome boy from China. This guy who is a year older than him has a poor lack of words, probably because he doesn't know Korean.
Anyway, they have lived together for more than half a month, and the communication between the two is only a handful. Most of the time, it's a guess and a guess, and I can barely figure out what the other party means.
What made him feel most unhappy was that this boy did not choose the elegant and romantic Night Elves like him, but chose the ordinary Terran.
It is said that there are the most haode construction workers on shijie in China, and Zhang Zaihao is also convinced.
It's just dear, why are you going to be a worker, what are you doing in the game all day long?
And this guy's ID is the same as the vulgarity, what is it called SKY. Really, the name that was called rotten didn't even have a little creativity.
Jang Jae-ho doesn't want to think about it, how good is his Moon?
By the way, what's this Chinese boy's name? Plum...... Li Xiaofeng, it seems to be this.
Forget it, Zhang Zaihao didn't bother to think about it anymore, and continued to bury his head in studying his "blowing the wind" tactics.
Compared with the quietness of the two departments of "StarCraft" and "Warcraft 3", the "Counter-Strike" team is really chaotic and the same as the vegetable market.
The five contestants here are solo from South Korea, Alex and Sakula from China, and So and Shaguar from the United States.
The intersection of three different languages makes the translator head daunting.
Fortunately, these five team members, whether it is Commander Alex or Sniper Shaguar, or Assault Sakula and So, including the all-rounder solo, are all outstanding talents, and they are running in quite quickly.
Cui Zhengyuan once watched their online games live, and various tactics and tacit understanding have taken shape, and it is expected that by 2003, it will be time to produce results.
I have to say that compared with the entertainment industry, the investment in the e-sports industry can really only be regarded as a drop in the bucket.
These top players on shijie gathered together, including the wNv club, which cost Choi Jung-won less than $1 million in total.
That's it, they are already at the top of the Korean e-sports clubs, which makes people look sideways and exclaim that the wolf is coming. (To be continued......)
