Chapter 1017 Wemade's Dilemma

Just a few months ago, Park Kwan-ho and Actoz representative director Cui Xiong had a fierce quarrel.

Cui Xiong accused 'Legend' of being in a loss since its operation in November last year, how could Park Guanhao have the face to propose strengthening the operating resources of 'Legend'; There will be such an embarrassing situation now, and it is said that "Legend" is losing money, and if you tell lies, you will be struck by lightning!

The furious Cui Xiong immediately quoted an old Chinese saying, "The smell of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley", retorting that Park Guanhao blushed and became speechless.

The two broke up unhappy!

In fact, after being disappointed with the performance of 'Legend', Actoz has completely stopped investing in its marketing, and instead concentrated its resources on promoting 'Millennium' which is currently in internal testing.

And "Millennium" lived up to expectations. The closed beta in China was very popular, and even many players who did not get a place for the closed beta called or went directly to Actoz to call for the official operation and open registration as soon as possible.

In this case, 'Legend' is destined to have become Actoz's sacrificial son.

Actoz company asked Park Guanhao and his R&D team several times to stop upgrading the 2nd generation of "Legend" and develop new games instead. make excuse. '

As a result, he was not only rejected by Park Guanhao, but even ran to Cui Xiong to make noise, accusing his game of being top-notch, and the reason why it was not good was all because of the company's inaction.

How could Cui Xiong give him a good face by making such unreasonable troubles?
In anger, Park Guanhao took most of the members of his R&D team to resign and co-founded Wemade. At the same time, he took away the upgraded version of 'Legend 2'.

You must know that Actoz was only established at the end of October 96, and it has flourished in just three years.

Compared with NEXON, which was established in 95, Neowiz and NC Soft, which were established in 97, the great success of these companies, and a large number of newly established Ndoors, GameHi, and WEBZEN this year,——

Park Kwan-ho and his partners also had great ambitions when they left the company. They will bring an upgraded version of 'Legend 2' first, and they will also go to the same glory.

Let the Actoz company, which sees people as low as dogs, take a look. It's not that the "legend" they have worked so hard to create is not good, but that Actoz is too rubbish!
Actoz is of course happy to see Park Guanhao voluntarily resigning with most of the members of his R&D team and taking away the 'Legend 2' that is under development.

Because this can just reduce the company's useless expenses. As for the "Legend 2" that is being upgraded, the company has actually completely given up on the half-dead online game "Legend", but the server is running slowly. Returning back slowly, I have no interest in that 'Legend 2' at all.

And although Park Guanhao's team took away 'Legend 2', in principle 'Legend 2' should still belong to Actoz.

When others upgrade their game for free, which is a pity that they are tasteless and discarded, Actoz of course agrees with both hands. That is, when they meet Park Guanhao, a group of young law-blind young people, Actoz is secretly happy.

Originally, this was a happy situation for all, but with the hard work of Park Guanhao's team, preparing to conduct the local national interior in November, and impacting the "Legend" that Actoz is currently operating, a sudden change happened.

Actoz sent a letter to Wemade, saying that because 'Legend 2' is derived from the online game 'Legend' that Actoz is currently operating, and is rooted in 'Legend', Park Guanhao's team has been working on the research and development of 'Legend 2' with Actoz's salary before, so In fact, the full property rights of 'Legend 2' belong to Actoz, and 'Legend 2' is prohibited from operating in any market where 'Legend' operates.

Actoz’s letter is well-founded, Wemade is sure to lose even if it fights a lawsuit, and the danger of the phrase “prohibiting” Legend 2 from operating in any market where “Legend” operates” does not only mean that Wemade cannot be released locally 'Legend 2', and even if Wemade brings 'Legend 2' to the European, American and Japanese markets where 'Legend' is not operating, in the future as long as 'Legend' follows up, 'Legend 2' will become an illegal operation and the server will have to be stopped.

This is tantamount to beating 'Legend 2' to death with a stick, and it also fooled Park Guanhao's team, driving them to a desperate situation.

Park Guanhao is 27 years old this year, and the average age of his team is only 25. They are a group of hot-blooded young men who don't understand anything, and they all come from poor families with no power or power.

It is not easy to survive in Seoul, but during the two years of working in Actoz, because of the mediocre response of "Legend", they were paid a miserable basic salary. During the four months of reasonable establishment of Wemade, their money They all only go out but not in, and all of them are so poor that their pockets are cleaner than their faces. Six of the dozen or so young people have been kicked out by the landlord because they couldn't pay the rent, water and electricity bills, and lived in the company's broken building.

Park Guanhao also wanted to attract investment, but all the investors shook their heads and avoided it when they heard the thunder of 'Legend 2'.

Which of these investors is not an old fox, and can't see that the "Legend" in "Legend 2" has not been broken?If you are crazy, you will ask for trouble to invest in this online game that has no future.

Just a few days ago, Park Guanhao, who had nowhere to go, returned to his original company in humiliation, trying to find a way out.

He bowed his head in front of Cui Xiong and begged for a way out for Wemade, to give 'Legend 2' a bit of soil to survive.

In the end, Actoz decided to "show kindness" and asked Park Guanhao's team to take out 40% of Wemade's shares for free, and at the same time transfer the ownership of "Legend 2" to Actoz, forming a 5:5 equity ratio.

This is tantamount to taking away half of the rights and interests of 'Legend 2', and taking away 40% of Wemade's shares in vain.

Park Guanhao brought the news back with his head down, and the employees of the company were furious, but the situation was stronger than others. Just when they were about to give in helplessly, a phone call came to Wemade's office.

From the big chaebol Sanyu Group.

Jin Shengyu, the head of the group's second company, wants to meet him!

This news made Park Guanhao dizzy. Jin Shengyu, the second son of the Sanyu Group, in his opinion, is the god-like existence he needs to look up to.

Not to mention him, even Actoz representative director Cui Xiong can only stand and pour tea in front of Jin Shengyu!
What is he doing to himself?
Could it be that this young man is idle and wants to invest in some game companies to practice his skills?

Just thinking about it made Park Guanhao's blood boil, and everyone in the company was extremely excited.

Last night, all the staff held a meeting until late at night to clean the entire dilapidated building spotlessly. The three employees who were ugly but also young women were required to wear short skirts to show their thick legs tomorrow. I took out all the money and bought two taels of good tea, watermelon, grapes, and entertained the distinguished Jin Ershao.

At this time, Park Guanhao looked at the road in front of him and waited expectantly and anxiously, like a prisoner facing the sentence of whether he should be shot or released without charge.

The last bit of cash in the company has been used to buy tea and fruit for VIP guests. If they want to avoid starvation and go to wait for the long-awaited miracle, they can only mobilize all employees to go home and borrow money to tide over the difficulties.

However, the borrowed money has to be repaid, and Actoz is stuck. If he does not give up 40% of the shares and half of the rights and interests of 'Legend 2', this game cannot even operate. How can he pay back the money and let the company survive?

But succumbing to Actoz, Wemade desperately borrowed money to operate, and Actoz could take half of the profits of 'Legend 2' lying down.

For the young Pu Guanhao, it was simply a humiliation that would never be erased in his life!

Just thinking about it, Park Guanhao felt that the future was dark, and he could hardly see any light and hope.

Unless the second son of Sanyu Group invests in Wemade!

Pu Guanhao's heart was beating 'thump-thump', he couldn't help but his knees softened, and he knelt down to pray to the gods.
