Chapter 142 Acquisition of Nexon!

For Nexon, the company may not be well-known in China.

But if it mentions the name of the Huaxia branch it opened in China in its previous life, perhaps players who have heard a little about the game will be familiar with it.

The century is natural.

Junyue Korea, which is now opened by Chu Jun, is a concept of the island country Tianniao.

Throw local games into other countries' markets.

It's just that compared to the previous life, the cultural blockade on Blue Star is even worse, and it also faces the suppression of major local game capitalists.

As a result, it is very difficult to establish a game company abroad and establish a foothold.

If the name of Century Tiancheng is not loud enough.

Then mention the games operated by Nexon.

In the early 2000s of Huaxia Games in the previous life, it lasted until about 10 years ago. During this entire decade, Nexon was almost the hegemony.

"Bubble Hall"

"Running Kart"

"Adventure Island"

"DNF"

"CSOL"

There are also many lesser-known but equally good games that are also under the Nexon banner.

Each of these games can be said to be very popular, and it has spread all over the streets and alleys of China.

It carries the player's memories of the era.

Of course.

Operating so many hegemonic games at the same time does not mean that Nexon is excellent.

If you carefully study his family history.

You will find that this is the Korean version of Tengxun.

In other words, Teng Xun drew on his experience of rising.

BNB almost copied Bomberman, the originator of bomb interactive games, from the big frame

"Running Kart" was also conceived with minor changes on the basis of Mario Kart, and was sued by Nintendo that year.

Although "CSOL" does not involve plagiarism, it is not a game developed by Nexon itself, but a cooperation with V agency.

To put it simply, Nexon invested a part, and then the creativity and planning were all carried out by Valve.

As for the two games "Adventure Island" and "Dungeon", it is even simpler and more rude.

Buy and buy!
Almost none of the games are launched by their own companies.

At this point, is there any similar taste?
Yes, this is exactly how Tengxun rose.

Copy if you can, and buy if you can.

Nexon copied "Bomberman" and launched BNB, and Teng Xun copied BNB and launched "QQtang". Even the version update is closely related to "BNB"

Nexon copied "Mario Kart" and launched Kart Kart, and Tencent copied Paopao and launched QQ Speed.

Not to mention crossing the line of fire.

Tengxun in the eyes of eating melon passers-by: I like to copy games

Actual Tengxun: Sorry, I copied Nexon’s operating ideas.

In the previous life, how ruthless the domestic Tengxun was sprayed, Nexon's status in the hearts of Korean players is not high.

Because, Nexon has also done a notorious thing.

Unpacking!
Nexon is the first company in the history of the game to add the unboxing mechanism to the game for the first time.

Later, a variant card drawing system, the gashapon system, was born.

If this is an act of inspiring players to get good things in disguise, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.

But in fact.

The probability of opening the box is not equal.

In order to maximize the player's money.

Often a good item will have its probability of being unboxed every time it is cleared.

Suppose the probability of getting it is 1%.

Then, every time you open it, your probability of getting it is 1%, and it will not accumulate.

For poor props, the probability will be superimposed in a cumulative manner.

If the probability of obtaining a piece of junk is 50%, you have made a good item this time.

Then next time, the probability of you opening a garbage item is 100%!

In this way, Nexon has accumulated a lot of wealth.

It has become the number one game company in Korea.

In this life, Chu Jun found that although the original team of Nexon has changed.

But their behavior is almost the same as in the previous life.

At present, the most popular local game in South Korea, "Dragon Heist" is not developed by Nexon, but acquired by a medium-sized game development company with all shares.

The next few turn-based games are also variants of plagiarized foreign classic games.

It's just that those companies can't defend their rights on the territory of other countries like Mr. Chu, so the incident can only be ignored in the end.

And now, Nexon is eyeing Junyue again.

During this period of time, Jun Yue can be said to be in the limelight.

But it's not like KBK Club, where there are many major shareholders behind it.

The foundation is relatively weak, and it is logical that it has become a soft persimmon in the eyes of Nexon.

"How is it?" Park Enlu looked at the translator and secretary who pushed the door in.

As the CEO of Nexon, Park Enlu is very optimistic about Junyue's future potential.

But at the same time, I am also very afraid of this company that is growing too fast.

Therefore, he wants to bind Nexon with Junyue, at least in the united front in South Korea.

As for the cannibalization of shares, that is all in the future.

Now let's cooperate first.

"Boss, he refused." The translator shook his head.

Park Enlu's expression was startled: "Rejected? Didn't you say the name of our company?"

"I said it, but he still refused." The translator was also a little confused.

With Nexon's great business in Korea, most people have to be polite when they hear the name.

But Mr. Chu is different.

Originally polite.

When he heard the name of his company, he suddenly laughed, and then refused even more simply.

This can't help but make the translation strange.

Cooperating with Nexon, no matter how you look at it, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Even if you buy the shares of your company later, you will be given a suitable exit fee.

"Haha?" Park Enlu was amused: "When did the game company from Huaxia become so confident? Even if it's the Penguin company, they have to talk about cooperation honestly when they come here."

"I'm afraid I don't understand Nexon's ability to cover the sky with one hand in the Korean game industry." The translator also laughed: "I heard that the local government in China has special support and care for the game industry."

Park Enlu smiled even more: "So, he won't regard South Korea as China, right?"

In Huaxia, good quality games can indeed stand out.But in South Korea, there is no capital force as a backer, and there is only a dead end.

In the end, it will either be acquired, or no one will care about it and it will not be able to operate.

"There is an old saying in China that goes, courtesy first, soldiers first." Park Enlu lightly stretched out his fingers and tapped his temples, and after thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth.

"After a while, you can contact him again, if he still refuses to cooperate. Then cut off all his login methods in South Korea."

When the translator heard the words, his expression was slightly astonished.

Good guy... Is this a direct killing move?

Cut off Jun Yue's login through all channels in Korea.

It means that Junyue cannot release its own games through any local Korean game platform.

Players want to play Junyue games.

You can only register an account through Junyue official website and download the game.

Downloading is not difficult.

The hardest part is the server problem.

Without the support of the server provider, Korean players want to play Junyue games, so they can only connect to Junyue Huaxia through a cross-border VPN.

This will greatly hinder Junyue's development in Korea.

It is even possible to kill Jun Yue's Korean branch.

"Junyue is a good company. But if it doesn't obey, then it's a pile of worthless shit." Park Enlu smiled confidently.

"Yes, I understand."

----

A week later.

Mr. Chu went to work as usual.

Just arrived at the company.

Xu Nianqing knocked on the door and came in, bringing a good news and a bad news.

"Let's talk about it first." Chu Jun made himself a cup of tea.

He vaguely remembered that when he was a hardcore player in his previous life, there were drinks beside him.

But now, for some reason, the drink at hand has slowly been replaced with tea.

Firstly, although the taste of the best tea is bitter, the aftertaste and charm remain forever, so-called endless aftertaste.

The second is the burden of leadership.

It would be strange if the staff members knocked on the door and saw a bottle of Coca-Cola or jasmine honey tea beside their desk every time they came in.

"The good news is that all the planning details of the original version of "Dungeon" were completed yesterday evening, and it has been put into the first internal test. The testers are all employees of Junyue." Although he was talking about good news, Xu Nian Qing's expression was not happy.

Chu Jun blew the tea leaves on the cup, and asked again: "Where's the bad news?"

"Nexon called again..."

After Chu Jun answered the phone last time, he instructed Xu Nianqing.

If Nexon calls later, she can answer it on her behalf. If she refuses, it's over, and there is no need to notify herself.

"You said."

"Although Nexon didn't say it explicitly, the implication is very strong. It probably means that if we refuse to cooperate with Nexon, we will cut off all Junyue Korea's channel login methods..." Xu Nianqing worried: "President Chu , if we cut off all channels to log in, we can only create our own registration platform and set up our own servers..."

In China, no matter how tyrannical the two game giants Penguin and Wangnan are, they dare not cut off all channels of other companies.

The previous 3Q war was seriously warned by the government.

In recent years, the monopoly law on online entertainment has also been strictly managed.

Several domestic Internet giants have been punished to varying degrees for monopoly.

The fines can easily be in the tens of billions.

But in South Korea, the party with strong capital has deep cooperative relations with multiple channels, and some channels are even controlled by themselves.

It is not easy to crush a game company with an unstable foundation.

Face this problem.

Chu Jun didn't give an answer directly, but asked with a chuckle.

"If you sat in my position, how would you choose?"

"Me?" Xu Nianqing pointed to his nose, thought for a moment before hesitating, "Maybe I won't choose to cooperate...because Nexon's ambition is too obvious, it just wants to eat away at our business step by step. Junyue South Korea. And they do have such ability."

Even a software of Douyin's size has a huge market all over the world.

The tiktok branch opened in the United States was eventually forcibly cut off from the China headquarters.

Let tiktok become an independent international video software, and it has nothing to do with Huaxia Douyin.

And right now, Nexon clearly has the same idea.

"It seems that whether you cooperate or not, the final situation is the same..." Xu Nianqing's expression turned ugly.

"Other than that? Is there any other way?" Chu Jun asked with a smile.

Xu Nianqing frowned, and thought about it for a while.

Only then shook his head regretfully: "I'm sorry, Mr. Chu... I really can't think of any other way. If we don't cooperate, all channels will be cut off. We don't have the ability and resources to set up a large number of servers. If we cooperate... just It is equivalent to making a wedding dress for Nexon, no matter how big Jun Yue Korea becomes in the future, it will become a subsidiary of Nexon."

The more she talked, the angrier she became, her hands clenched into fists and trembling faintly: "Bah! The Korean company is really shameless! I thought they would be a little more tactful, but who knew they would really come up and talk about it!"

"It's the same in any industry. You should never expect your opponent to be kind to you." Chu Jun took a sip of tea, put down the cup and comforted him softly: "From the side, this is actually a good thing. Korea's No. No. [-] game company Nexon values ​​us so much, and even resorts to unscrupulous means, which shows that Junyue already has the potential to become an international enterprise."

"Killing everything is the greatest respect for your opponent." Chu Jun has seen too many life-and-death struggles in the game industry in his previous life, both at home and abroad, and there are many game companies with uglier looks and worse behavior than Nexon.

In this life, the game has just developed.

These methods are only just being used.

He had expected Nexon to do this a long time ago, so he was already mentally prepared.

"Well, it makes sense." Xu Nianqing looked educated, and immediately asked: "Then Mr. Chu... what should we do?"

"Didn't I just say that?"

"Clam?"

Did Mr. Chu talk about the monopoly method against Nexon?

When did you say that?
Seeing Xu Nianqing blinking his eyes in confusion.

Chu Jun smiled lightly and reached out to tap the table.

Just the next moment.

There was a murderous look in his eyes.

"Killing everything is the greatest respect for an opponent."

"Since Nexon wants to buy us, why not let us buy Nexon."

Xu Nianqing nodded vigorously: "Okay!"

It wasn't long before she reacted.

The beautiful face was full of astonishment and shock, and the moist lips were slightly parted into an 'O' shape.

"Wait...wait...who will you buy?"

----

Nexon really walks the talk.

After Junyue rejected another cooperation proposal from Nexon.

Directly cut off all the channel login methods of Junyue Korea.

If we say that KBK Club still had a bit of background in the past, it was supported by shareholders behind it.

Nexon also depends on the owner when beating a dog.

So right now, Nexon's attitude towards Junyue Korea is that no dog beats the owner directly.

After contacting the major channels to remove all Junyue games from the shelves.

Some Korean players of the Junyue series were all stunned.

After being stunned, they all became angry.

Rush to the bottom of Junyue Korea's official website to leave a message.

"What's the situation? You said that KBK Club is a pirated version, so we have come to support the genuine version now, but the genuine version is now off the shelves?"

"What about the money we charged?"

"Although I don't play online games, but stand-alone games also cost money! Axiba!"

"Come to someone in charge to speak up! Compensate the players for their losses!"

"So the purpose of Junyue Company is to run away just to make a fortune?"

"I seriously suspect that Junyue and the KBK club are in collusion! The same game changed its name to sell twice, and then ran away after collecting money! How disgusting! Xiba!"

"Losing money! Bastard!!"

……

Park Enlu sat on the boss's chair, crossed his legs comfortably, and watched the scene on the Internet with a smile.

It was Nexon who took the bottom line, but now Korean players who don't know it are pouring their anger on Junyue Korea.

"I have to say, boss, your wonderful move is really brilliant!" The secretary gave a thumbs up.

"A body as big as an ant, and I don't know where the courage comes from to compete with Nexon." Park Enlu smiled indifferently, and immediately said: "Okay, let's stop here about Junyue, they It’s just a small episode, and it’s about to disappear from our eyes, so there’s no need to pay attention to it anymore. How’s the development progress of the new action game "Dragon Heist 2"?"

"It is about to be completed, and the internal test is expected to start within a month." The secretary said.

"Well, go get busy." Park Enlu waved his hand casually.

The voice just fell.

Someone opened the door and came in.

He is the director of the media and public relations department of Nexon City.

His expression was somewhat eager, and he was out of breath. It seemed that he ran all the way to the general manager's office.

"President Park, something happened!"

"Speak slowly if you have something to say, don't rush." ​​Park Enlu caressed the palm of his hand. He was in a good mood just after dealing with a hidden danger. He squinted his eyes and smiled softly, "Speak, what's the matter?"

"Junyue Korea... Just after we asked all channel operators to suspend their channel logins, within half an hour...they issued an announcement... probably the content is that Junyue Korea has carried out a systematic maintenance , All the games are collected on the official website of Junyue Korea, and players who have purchased or recharged before can use the purchase and consumption records to find the customer service to restore their accounts."

"Oh?" Park Enlu raised his eyebrows disapprovingly: "It seems that he has been prepared for a long time. But, where will his server be solved? As far as I know, there are millions of players in the Junyue game in South Korea." people."

"Nexon is a shareholder of the game server platform that can support millions of people, and will not provide services for it. Even if players register for a Junyue account, they find that they still can't play. The situation will be dealt with more at that time."

As he said that, Park Enlu sneered: "Jun Yue is good at provoking players."

The supervisor swallowed, and said with difficulty: "No, he is not using our domestic server platform..."

"That's it?" Park Enlu was surprised.

"All game server platforms in Huaxia! Korean players will be provided with VPN acceleration services for free. Korean players can directly connect to Junyue games through VPN! The game data will bypass Korea and be sent to Huaxia's game server..." the supervisor's voice They were all trembling: "The whole of China!... All the game platforms in China are helping him! These platforms are enough to accommodate 1000 million people to play online at the same time!"

Hearing this, Park Enlu's smile instantly froze on his face, he slammed the table and stood up, exclaiming.

"What did you say???"
