Chapter 317 The King of Battlefield
After listening to the translator, Quan Hebin's face turned pale. Because Xu Min spared no effort to "propaganda", in the Korean game circle, Shen Lang's image is completely a combination of devil + Satan.

If it were another person who said that, Quan Hebin might suspect that the other party was cheating on him. However, regarding Shen Lang, Quan Hebin had no doubt that the other party could do it.

Right now, there are two options for Kwon Hye-bin, either to accept Shen Lang's acquisition, or to make desperate changes to the game so that CrossFire can survive in the Korean server.

"How much are you going to spend to acquire my company?" Kwon Hye-bin finally chose to compromise.

After listening to the translator, Shen Lang couldn't help showing a smile.

Xu Min didn't know that he played a decisive role in this acquisition. If he hadn't repeatedly promoted Shen Lang's "notoriety", perhaps Quan Hebin would try to resist.

"One billion won!"

According to the exchange rate of RMB to Korean Won in 07, one billion Korean Won is equivalent to more than 800 million RMB. This price is not high in the game industry, but it is quite a lot for Kwon Hyuk Bin.

Shen Lang did not participate in the specific acquisition matters, and left it to Wang Tao to discuss with Quan Hebin. Taking this opportunity, Shen Lang went to Japan and walked around Japan with Liu Tianxian.

Compared with the high popularity in China, Liu Tianxian is almost unknown in Japan, and he can walk on the streets of Japan with Shen Lang like an ordinary couple without any shyness. Liu Tianxian enjoys this kind of time very much, until a week later, Sony The music side came to urge her to participate in the promotional activities, and Shen Lang returned to Korea.

When he set foot on the Seoul Airport again, the "Laughing Gate" completely belonged to Shen Lang, and Kwon Hyuk-bin basically achieved financial freedom with one billion won. Even if there was much reluctance before, this time is really fragrant.

"Boss." At the exit of the airport, Quan Hebin bowed respectfully, welcoming Shen Lang's arrival.

Shen Lang patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "President Quan, can you show me around the company now?"

Quan Hebin lowered his head in embarrassment: "Of course."

At this time, "Laughing Gate" only had one office with 33 people.Among them, 15 are original paintings, 7 are for configuration, 10 are for production, and 1 is for promotion. It can only be regarded as a grassroots start-up company in Korea.

Wang Tao actually didn't quite understand why Shen Lang fell in love with such a company. In his opinion, this game called "Cross Fire" was really not very good. Compared with "King of Battlefield", it could even be said to be A hot chicken game.

Through the understanding of "Laughing Gate" these days, Wang Tao has strengthened his judgment.

After Quan Hebin left the office, Wang Tao couldn't help but confided his thoughts.

Shen Lang said to Wang Tao: "You should have played CS before?"

"Of course, the company also held CS competitions, and I was in the top few every time."

The early game makers in China were basically supported by their interests. At that time, no one would think of making games as a profession, because they couldn't support themselves at all.

Shen Lang smiled and said: "Then recall, are you the same people who participate in CS competitions every time? And you are the ones who get the top few every time?"

Wang Tao was taken aback by Shen Lang's words. He hadn't noticed it before, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true.

Shen Lang patted Wang Tao on the shoulder, and said seriously: "CS is indeed a good game, but it is too competitive and difficult to learn. It depends on operation, awareness, and reaction. Ordinary players will only be abused if they enter. People will enjoy the process of being abused endlessly."

"Cross Fire does have various deficiencies, but this game is easy to learn and has a certain room for improvement, allowing players of all stages to find the thrill of confrontation. This is the game we need."

"It is undeniable that King of Battlefield is indeed better, but the requirements for computer configuration are too high, and FPS games are not the same as MMO games, even if it is only a frame stuck, it will seriously affect the user experience."

The reason why Battlefield King is popular in South Korea is, on the one hand, because South Korea’s per capita income is much higher than that in China, and players have money to buy computers with higher configurations. On the other hand, it is because South Korea’s area is relatively small, which is equivalent to a Half Tongliao, the server can easily meet the needs of players.

However, the country has a vast territory and the number of players is relatively scattered. The data transmission speed is simply not the same. When reflected in the game, it is naturally stuck to death, no matter how good your computer configuration is, it will not help.

Only then did Wang Tao suddenly realize: "So that's the case."

Shen Lang patted Wang Tao's shoulder again: "Of course, there are indeed many problems in the game of Crossing the Line of Fire. It needs to be greatly improved and the gameplay should be improved. It's just divided into two camps like CS to fight against each other. The pattern is too monotonous."

"Is it possible to add a zombie-like gameplay, such as setting a specific scene, and then select a few players to become zombies, and then infect other players until the players completely eliminate the zombies, or the zombies infect all players."

Wang Tao's eyes brightened: "Wonderful, immediately infecting players, the next second the players around you may turn into zombies, this is too exciting, players will definitely like this mode! Mr. Shen, how do you grow your brain, How can you always have such wild ideas?"

Shen Lang scolded with a smile: "Stop flattering, I'm just offering an idea, just talk about it, how to design the map in the future, and how to balance the game is up to you."

After chatting with Shen Lang, Wang Tao also had higher expectations for the game "Cross Fire". In order to make "Cross Fire" more suitable for the mainland game market, Wang Tao transferred a group of game planners from China to come here Went to South Korea to help the production team of "Laughing Door" make follow-up revisions to "Cross Fire".

Originally, according to Wang Tao's idea, he planned to directly bring "Laughter Gate" to China, so that communication would be more convenient, but Shen Lang stopped him.

After these years of training, a large number of game production talents have emerged in South Korea. Shen Lang's acquisition of "Laughter Gate" not only took a fancy to the game "Cross Fire", but also planned to use this company to absorb a large number of Korean game production talents. rather than leaving an empty shell.

Therefore, Shen Lang communicated with Quan Hebin again, and promised to give him a part of the option reward of "Laughing Gate" in the future, provided that he is Shen Lang's agent in Korea.

For this reason, Shen Lang once again injected one billion won into "Laughing Gate". Seeing Shen Lang's wealth and wealth, Quan Hebin happily agreed to come down, and it has always been a universal truth that it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree.

At the same time, Penguin headquarters.

Ever since Dr. QQ was bullied by Shen Lang, Xiao Ma’s life has become more and more difficult. In addition to 45% of advertising revenue, Penguin’s revenue from virtual value-added services accounted for 40% of its total revenue, and the value of Q coins The shrinkage reduced Penguin's value-added service revenue by 20% that month, and the board of directors was quite dissatisfied with this.

The key point is that Doctor QQ did not achieve the desired results, which was far from the plan given to the board of directors by Xiao Ma, which made the board of directors start to question Xiao Ma's ability.

In order to keep the mouth of the board of directors shut, Brother Xiao Ma urgently needs to bring back Penguin's revenue.

Looking at the current most profitable Internet projects in China, what is it?There is only one online game!
Even Shi Yuzhu, who sells health care products, came to make money from online games. One can imagine how profitable online games are.

However, it is a pity that Penguin does not have an online game that can be sold so far. Whether it is an agency or self-developed, none of Penguin's games has exploded in recent years.

The previous acquisition of Pengcheng Domain originally expected that QQ Huaxia would be able to carry the banner, but unfortunately, it was only a flash in the pan.

Xiao Ma had no choice but to focus on Korean games, so he called Zhang Zhidong to the office.

"I heard Mountain Dew Entertainment is in contact with Neowiz, wanting to represent their Battlefield King?"

Zhang Zhidong nodded: "Well, King of Battlefield has achieved quite good results in South Korea. I also read some information. This game is indeed very good, but Neowiz is a little bit up for grabs. They also contacted Shanda and Netease."

Brother Xiao Ma frowned slightly: "You should go there yourself this time. If the game is not bad, just win it directly. When the time is right, you can make some concessions in terms of agency fees and share."

This is also a helpless move. Penguin currently needs a game to drive revenue, and it needs a successful game to start its reputation in the mainland game circle.

Don't underestimate these false names. When Korean game companies are looking for a cooperative game agent, they also need to look at their strength. Last time in the "Dungeon and Warriors" competition, Zhang Zhidong clearly offered a higher price, but Xu Minzai still chose Shanda , The reason is that Penguin has no precedent for successfully operating games.

"Okay, I'll leave in the afternoon." Zhang Zhidong rushed to South Korea without stopping.

Coincidentally, when Zhang Zhidong came to South Korea, it happened to be the same day that Shen Lang and Wang Tao came to South Korea, but Shen Lang and the others came in the morning. After receiving this news, Zhang Zhidong panicked. If Shen Lang and Neowiz The company reached an agreement first, so not only did he make the trip in vain, but he might also let Shen Lang get a trump card.

Therefore, Zhang Zhidong didn't even bother to stay in the hotel, and immediately went to Neowiz company.

When he came to Neowiz company, Zhang Zhidong asked Shen Lang whether he had been here before, but he got a negative answer. Zhang Zhidong couldn't help secretly happy, but fortunately, he responded quickly.

Next, Zhang Zhidong started negotiating with Neowiz, and at the same time further experienced King of Battlefield, and even went to the official forum of King of Battlefield in private to check the activity of this game.

After investigation, Zhang Zhidong became more and more optimistic about the "King of the Battlefield", but what made him a little puzzled was that Shen Lang had not approached Neowiz even though he came to Korea.

But with the presence of Shanda and Netease, Zhang Zhidong didn't have the time to think about anything else.

Originally, Neowiz was more inclined to hand over "King of Battlefield" to NetEase as an agent. After all, NetEase occupied 35% of the mainland game market share at this time, and it was properly the largest game manufacturer. Shanda has shown signs of decline in the past two years. .

As for Penguin, at first Neowiz had no intention of handing over the game to Penguin's agency. However, as Zhang Zhidong raised his offer again and again, Neowiz was moved.

He gave too much.

Zhang Zhidong's behavior also made NetEase and Shanda very angry. They naturally have the strength to offer a higher price, but it is not necessary. There are so many games in South Korea waiting to be fed. If you want to enter the mainland market, you have to rely on them. This is a buyer's market.

No matter how fierce the competition between Shanda and Netease was before, everyone just clicked on it, just to avoid too much appetite for Korean game companies.

Netease and Shanda's executives left the venue angrily and directly withdrew from the competition.

Although Zhang Zhidong offered a higher price, Neowiz did not directly hand over the agency rights of "King of Battlefield" to him, but called Wang Tao first, thinking about whether it could be obtained from Mountain Dew Entertainment higher price.

After Wang Tao reported to Shen Lang, Shen Lang couldn't help being happy. The inertia of history is really strong enough. Sure enough, Penguin still fell in love with the "King of the Battlefield", but this time there was no "Cross Fire" as an addition. It is estimated that Penguin Is it difficult to recover the cost?
"An agency fee of 1000 million US dollars? There is also an additional 25% share, which is really a big mouth! Tell them, whoever pays such a price, let them sell it to whom!"

When Shen Lang heard about Neowiz's agency conditions, he almost scolded his mother. Is this robbery?The agency fee of World of Warcraft is only more than 1000 million US dollars. Although Blizzard has other harsh conditions, World of Warcraft does have the qualifications to mention these conditions.

After receiving Wang Tao's reply, Neowiz had no choice but to agree to hand over the "King of Battlefield" to Penguin as an agent.

Zhang Zhidong shook his fist hard after receiving the news, and signed an agency contract with Neowiz with great joy.

After returning to Penguin with the agency contract of "King of the Battlefield", Brother Xiao Ma specially arranged a reception banquet for Zhang Zhidong. During the banquet, Brother Xiao Ma praised Zhang Zhidong beyond words.

But after the banquet, when Zhang Zhidong inadvertently mentioned that Shen Lang had also gone to Korea, brother Ma woke up most of the wine.

"He didn't fight with us for the king of the land?" Little Ma asked suspiciously.

Zhang Zhidong shook his head, trying to clear himself up, and said in a stumbling manner: "I have met people from Shanda and NetEase, but I haven't seen Shen Lang from Neowiz, but I don't know if they have had any contact in private."

Brother Xiao Ma scratched his hair: "Could it be that I'm too nervous?"

"Shen Lang went to Korea, but he didn't show up. Have you checked his whereabouts?" Brother Ma asked.

Zhang Zhidong thought for a while: "He was on the same flight as me, but he hasn't shown up in public. It seems that he went to Japan for a week in the middle. I saw someone broke the news on the Internet, saying that he was seen on the streets of Japan with a female celebrity. Be intimate."

"So, he went to Korea just for vacation?"

Brother Xiao Ma was not too skeptical, after all, even Zhang Chaoyang was often rumored to have scandals with female celebrities, let alone a young and wealthy master like Shen Lang, it was quite normal to date one or two female celebrities.

"Forget it, don't care about him, the most important thing now is to get the King of Battlefield online as soon as possible!"
