Top of the big era

South Korea is a country where populism is very popular. Many times, people confuse right and wrong. Instead of judging positions based on right and wrong, they choose right and wrong based on their positions.

Just like the infamous Korean sports.

It can be said that it is the country with the worst sports ethics in the world, and it is full of ugliness in various world competitions. But within South Korea, Koreans take "Korea" as their stance and start making trouble.

Whatever is good for South Korea is right; whatever is bad for South Korea is wrong.

Although they have poor sportsmanship and are ridiculed by the global media and sports audiences, they are not ashamed. Instead, they think it is a patriotic spirit, and they are even proud of it.

The most typical example is the 2002 World Cup. This is the biggest scandal in sports history, but in South Korea it is considered the greatest achievement in sports history. It is a huge honor that deserves to be constantly remembered and recalled.

This phenomenon can be found in every corner of Korea.

The same goes for business.

Zhou Buqi chose to retreat from the development of the Korean market early on. He had no intention of ending directly. Through the "agent" model, he highly delegated power and let Koreans do the Korean market.

However, some people don't think so.

For example, Changyou's co-CEO Ren Yuxin entered South Korea after receiving the authorization from Boss Zhou and gaining command rights in China, Japan, South Korea and the entire Asia-Pacific region.

Changyou Korea Branch was established in South Korea.

Zhou Buqi had no objection.

I think I can give it a try first.

It did make money.

It seems that the game industry has a chance to break through the cultural restrictions of South Korea and be able to break into it.

But in fact, this still doesn't work.

The same game, operated by Changyou Korea, can earn 1 yuan, but if it is operated by a local Korean game company, it may earn 2 yuan.

The influence of local culture is still too great.

Zhou Buqi didn't pay much attention to this business. It was Lao Zhang who discovered the problem and pointed out the problem in time. Zhou Buqi then made a major decision to let Changyou give up the Korean market.

Directly merge Changyou Korea into Kakao games, and use the opportunity of the spin-off of Kakao game business to indirectly enter the Korean market through equity cooperation.

All Changyou's high-quality games are licensed to Kakao Games and operated by Kakao Games, a local Korean game company.

"So, the life difficulties faced by young people in South Korea today are all caused by themselves." Zhou Buqi rejected Jin Fanxiu's dinner proposal and went out to eat beef soup rice with Lao Zhang, "I can't even say I deserve it." point!"

Zhang Chaoyang said amusedly: "What are you expressing your feelings about?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Didn't you listen to what Jin Fanxiu said? Young people in South Korea don't believe in the pie that entrepreneurs have painted for them, nor do they believe in the future of the market. They all like to receive stable and high wages, but few are willing to bear it. Take the risk of picking up option stocks that may have higher returns.”

Zhang Chaoyang nodded, "Well, so many Korean scholars and sociologists say that contemporary young people in Korea face too much pressure in life, and they don't even have room to breathe."

Zhou Buqi said: "Don't be afraid of being born in a humble background, as long as there are channels for advancement; don't be afraid of being poor, as long as you have hope in life and can see the direction of getting rich. South Korea has none of these. On the surface, it seems that it belongs to the chaebols Due to the monopoly economy, it is impossible for young people to compete in the market through entrepreneurship. In fact, it is their own fault."

Zhang Chaoyang agrees very much, "Jin Fanxiu was able to come out because he chose a direction that even the big chaebols couldn't understand - the Internet. This gave him a chance. It is similar in China. Young people with no identity, no background and no resources want to start a business. , we still have to focus on the Internet. As long as there is a feasible way to dream, there will be many warriors rushing forward. South Korea is not good, Kakao has developed into a chaebol. This is the only dream that is pinned on the Internet. The road is also blocked.”

"From the current point of view, China is much better than South Korea. The domestic Internet dividend can be enjoyed for many years. If the domestic Internet industry is restricted so that young people cannot..." Zhou Buqi shook his head and stopped talking about domestic affairs, "South Korea The most important reason why this current situation of chaebolization is difficult to break is the exclusion of foreign companies."

Zhang Chaoyang believed deeply, "If nothing else, if South Korea did not exclude foreign companies, it would be impossible for Kakao to develop into a chaebol. Internet giants such as Google, Ziweixing, Facebook, Yahoo, Amazon, and Alibaba rushed in... Don't say that Kakao will develop. They have become a chaebol, and it is difficult for them to survive! With so many companies entering the Korean market to compete, Korean IT engineers can become the hot spots that are being fought for, instead of being picky and picky like they are now under the monopoly of Kakao. ."

Zhou Buqi said: "So, they are asking for it! Populist exclusion of foreign companies will definitely lead to the solidification and chaebolization of South Korea's local economic structure. Without the restraint of international giants, how can small local companies compete with chaebols? Are the giants going to compete? It must be one of the chaebol giants. In the end, young people in South Korea will definitely join the chaebols one after another and live a life without ideals. For us onlookers, these young people in South Korea must The tragic current situation is actually the twin brother of their populist carnival.”

Zhang Chaoyang smiled and said: "The situation in China is much better."

Zhou Buqi sighed, "Well, judging from the current situation, China is much better than South Korea. The Internet has brought ideals to countless young people. With ideals and a goal, this is the biggest driving force for economic development. , and it is also the biggest spiritual core that has been reformed in the past thirty years. Young people in South Korea simply do not have this kind of ambition."

Zhang Chaoyang felt a little baffled, "What does it have to do with you whether young people in South Korea are living well?"

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "I wish Kakao would quickly monopolize the Internet market and make a lot of money for me! Do you think I care about Koreans? Without empathy, disaster will befall you sooner or later!"

"You are still young." Zhang Chaoyang shook his head, "Isn't that what young people are like? When they were in school, they were full of yearning for a better life in the future. When they entered society and worked, they encountered all kinds of cruel beatings from reality. , the edges and corners are gone.”

Zhou Buqi was very surprised, "Do you think the loss of edges and corners is a benefit?"

Zhang Chaoyang said: "At least for many countries, this means stability."

Zhou Buqi said: "But many great companies, great inventions, even those great basic theories of natural science, were made by young people with sharp edges. When the edges of such young people are smoothed out, It has become more and more mediocre. It is really rare for people like Steve Jobs to still live like a weird scum even after decades. When Bill Gates got older, he became an ordinary enterprise. There is nothing unusual about the appearance of home. In Korean society, young people have their edges smoothed off early. I don’t believe that Korea can make any world-wide achievements. Even Einstein is older. From now on, I will be reduced to an ordinary physics professor."

"how about you?"

Zhang Chaoyang took the last sip of beef soup. He was not very particular about his diet and drank beef soup with kimchi. He thought this Korean food was quite delicious.

"Me?" Zhou Buqi thought for a moment, "I think I'm okay."

This is true.

Not to mention other places, at least in terms of beauty, Zhou Buqi has always maintained his own edges and corners. Especially recently, I have been immersed in the tenderness of Ariana and Sienna's beautiful bodies, and I have even regained my sense of the ocean horse.

Well, good sign!

This shows that Boss Zhou has not been defeated by time, he still maintains his original intention and heart!

Unlike Einstein, who once became famous, he lost his exploration of the endless untouched physical world and settled down to be a physics professor in his existing field.

Zhou Buqi is different. He is not satisfied with what he has now. He still wants to explore and continue to explore.

There are enough beauties in the world. Although they are not as vast as the physical world, at least Zhou Buqi will not stop there and can keep moving forward.

Take a peek!

You must stick to such a good habit.
