My 1999

"Okay, don't be envious. With the current results of "Legend 1" in China, the results of "Legend 2" will definitely be better. Instead of envying others, it is better to do a good job in your own project."

Park Guanhao's eyes suddenly lit up.

According to the latest data from Hongmeng Huaxia, the number of registrations for "Legend: Battle of Kings" has exceeded 2.5 million, and the number of people online at the same time has reached 200,000.

Although it is not as good as "Paradise", considering the data from South Korea and other markets, it is not much worse.

"Don't worry, President, I will urge them to hurry up."

Xu Liang waved his hand.

"Don't be in a hurry. "Legend 1: Overlord War" is now very popular. There is no need to rush to launch "Legend 2", otherwise it will squeeze the profit margin of "Legend 1", which is not good for us. Therefore, I plan to wait until the beginning of 2003. "Legend 2" is officially launched."

Park Guanhao hesitated: "In this case, it may have an impact on other markets. After all, "Legend: Overlord War" was officially launched in 1998, and it has been more than two years now. If we don't launch it, players may forget us."

Xu Liang thought for a while. Although "Legend 2" is popular in China, its audience abroad can only be said to be average. After all, the graphics are not exquisite and the gameplay is simple and crude.

It is suitable for novices who are getting started in the game, but has limited temptation for veterans.

If it were delayed until 2003, the market would be even smaller, because at that time, the graphics of 3D games were already very sophisticated and there were more.

"Then we will launch operations in other markets first. By the way, starting from "Legend 2", we will no longer seek agents and directly open branches in the target markets and officially operate."

"The cost to us would be very high."

"Although it is higher, it is safer." Xu Liang said.

The source code of "Legend 2" was leaked from European agents, which directly caused the proliferation of cheats and affected the game experience and revenue of "Legend 2".

Xu Liang will never allow the same thing to happen to him.

“So which market should we enter first?”

After Xu Liang thought for a while, "Go to the United States. Although they are mainly popular for stand-alone games now, the market is big enough. There must be people who are interested in online games. As long as we catch a little bit, it will be enough for us."

In Asia, China, South Korea, Japan and the entire Greater China region, areas with relatively strong consumption power, have Hongmeng branches, and the distribution network has been established.

In the remaining Southeast Asia, the market is too small, the consumption power is not high, and the investment-return ratio is too low, so it is not the time yet.

Pu Guanhao nodded.

"One more thing, you have to pay attention to the Avatar game acquired from Hangame this time. I am very optimistic about its market, especially in the market of female players."

Pu Guanhao was stunned for a moment and nodded quickly.

He didn't think the game was that good. When he came over, he was not willing to use his own money to help his opponents develop. He just wanted a piece of the pie.

But now that the big boss is serious about his explanation, he has to take it seriously.

"Go back and remember to give me the information you collected on the South Korean game market."

"yes."

After he left, Xu Liang got up and went to Naver's office area. No, it should be the office area of ​​Hongmeng Technology.

"President."

Seeing him, the surrounding employees quickly greeted him respectfully.

After a long period of training, Xu Liang's Korean has become able to cope with daily communication.

He smiled and nodded, and after occasionally exchanging a few words, he came to Li Haizhen's office.

After the secretary served tea.

"How is the development of the website?"

When Xu Liang left, he gave Li Haizhen the development plan of the website. As a veteran in the Internet industry, the latter quickly realized the value.

However, Li Haizhen did not fully adopt the version design of China’s ‘Website Encyclopedia’.

After all, user habits in the two countries are different.

In South Korea, young people prefer pictures and entertainment news.

Therefore, this area is highlighted in the commonly used website columns, and the UI design is more in line with South Korean characteristics.

"It's very good. After half a month of promotion, we already have 670,000 registered users and 2.73 million daily views. The feedback is generally good. In another month, it will exceed one million."

Xu Liang nodded, "Promote the website well. This business alone in China can create a monthly revenue of 60 million won, with a compound growth rate of 79%. You can calculate its prospects."

Li Haizhen's eyes lit up.

What he lacks most now is money. If he has enough money to expand, he is sure that Hongmeng Technology will become the number one in South Korea's Internet industry within two years.

"Acquisitions can enhance the company's business, but don't forget to innovate. This is the foundation for our future development and growth."

Li Haizhen nodded.

"Don't worry, Chairman, I will launch new businesses as soon as possible to increase Naver's market share."

"I trust your talent and work hard. When the Internet winter passes and Hongmeng Technology truly achieves profitability, we will go public."

Li Haizhen looked excited. According to the current development trend of Hongmeng South Korea, once it is listed, he will achieve financial freedom.

——

Return home in the evening.

After Xu Liang finished painting, he found Sun Mingzhen who was reading materials in the study.

"What are you looking at, so fascinated?"

"The bank information, the president has entrusted the loan to me, I must do it well." Sun Mingzhen said.

Xu Liang nodded, "What is the current loan interest rate of South Korean banks?"

"Due to the Nasdaq crisis, it has now dropped to 5.27%. However, Hana Bank is our main cooperative bank. If you borrow from it, you may get more preferential interest rates."

Xu Liang didn't ask any more questions. Since he had left this matter to Sun Mingzhen, she would be responsible for it.

"Where is the financial data of Hongmeng Games that you collected?"

Xu Liang took it and turned it over, frowning slightly.

There are indeed some problems here, but it is not enough to win Park Guan Ho based on these problems alone.

"Is that all?"

"That's all there is for now."

"It is difficult to get Park Guanhao to plead guilty based on these alone."

"You can fire him."

Xu Liang shook his head, "There is an old saying in China: 'When the water is clear, there will be no fish.' Everyone is greedy, and no matter how perfect the system is, it cannot be completely eliminated.

Therefore, I allow capable people to make a small profit. As long as it is not too excessive, I can tolerate it. "

What Xu Liang wants is someone who can make money for him, not a moral gentleman with a clean sleeve.

"I understand." Sun Mingzhen said.

Looking at her with a somewhat gloomy expression, Xu Liang stretched out his right arm and held Sun Mingzhen in his arms amidst her screams.

"It's late, we should rest."

"I want to take a shower first."

"Wash together."

Holding the beauty in his arms, he strode into the bathroom.

It didn't take long, and along with the sound of gurgling water, there was a blushing and heart-beating sound.

It took a long time to calm down.

Sun Mingzhen, who was lying on the bed and regained her strength, took out a medicine bottle from the bedside table.

Seeing this, Xu Liangliang was shocked, and the famous scene from Water Margin appeared inexplicably - Dalang taking medicine.

"What did you get?"

Sun Mingzhen hesitated for a moment, "You Siyue."

"What?"

Seeing that he didn't understand, Sun Mingzhen simply said: "It's a birth control pill."

While breathing a sigh of relief, Xu Liang took the medicine bottle over and looked at the words on it. He didn't recognize half of it, but it was indeed a contraceptive pill as the other party said.

"Don't eat it again."

Looking directly into his eyes, "Then what if I get pregnant in the future?"

"I'll give birth as soon as I'm pregnant. It's just a child. It's not like I can't afford to raise it." Xu Liang said calmly.

The relaxed tone made Sun Mingzhen feel happy but also a little complicated.

"Then your wife...?"

Although he didn't finish the sentence, the meaning was already obvious.

Illegitimate children are not a bright word in any country, and they are not tolerated by legal wives.

"Wife?" Xu Liang shook his head, "I have no plans to get married."

"You don't plan to get married?" Sun Mingzhen asked in surprise.

"Is it weird?" After glancing at her, Xu Liang continued, "With my wealth and status, I will definitely face too many temptations in the future. I am also very sure that I will not be able to maintain my loyalty to my wife. Instead of being loyal to my wife when the time comes, It would have been better to have done no harm to her in the first place.

From now on, the women around me who can accept my flirting will be together, and they will have the right to inherit my property if they have children.

If you can't accept it, separate. It's best for everyone. "

After finishing his words, he glanced at Sun Mingzhen and continued.

"That's right. If the child's mother marries another man midway, the child will automatically lose the right to inherit my property. After all, I have worked so hard to build the family business, and I don't want others to take advantage of it."

Sun Mingzhen looked at the man in front of her complicatedly.

It was the first time she heard such remarks.

However, I felt inexplicably relieved.

If I give birth to a child in the future, my life will be secure.

As for leaving Xu Liang.

She can't do it.

Since she became the director of the office of the president of Hongmeng South Korea, those who used to despise her and laugh at her now come to fawn over her.

Compared with her previous embarrassing self, she realized the cruelty of society and did not want to lose everything now.

Sun Mingzhen turned over, hugged the man's strong upper body tightly with her jade arms, and lay her head in his arms. Listening to the drum-like heartbeat, a strange feeling of peace of mind grew in her heart.

Maybe she never thought about praying for more, but Xu Liang's promise gave her protection.

Feeling the change in her mood, Xu Liang hugged the woman who had given everything to him.

"Go to sleep."

Sun Mingzhen, who was extremely tired, nodded and quickly fell asleep next to him.

Xu Liang, who was physically vented, felt very energetic.

Put the sleeping Sun Mingzhen aside and cover her with a quilt. He put on his pajamas and went to the study room and brought over the South Korean game information that Park Guanhao had brought.

Although South Korea only has a population of 60 million, which is equivalent to a province in China, they have many game companies, hundreds of them.

There are large companies such as NEXON and NCSoft, and more are start-ups like Yumed.

Park Guanhao's information is very detailed and he has basically sorted out the information of all the big and small game companies in the South Korean game market.

Xu Liang recalled his experience playing games in his previous life and tried to find familiar names on it.

Soon he was rewarded.

"Dragon clan?"

The long-lasting memories began to be unsealed. He had forgotten whether it was 2001 or 2002, but he did play it when he was in the Internet cafe, and there were a lot of people around him playing it.

It's a pity that the operators of Dragon Clan have never been able to deal with the problem of plug-ins.

There are often people flying in the sky, others burrowing underground, and fireballs coming from nowhere. The gaming experience is extremely poor.

It's obviously a good game, but it just hasn't become popular.

In fact, almost all Korean online games have problems with the proliferation of cheats.

He didn't understand it before, but later he took over Artos and brought "Legend 1" into domestic operation, and he quickly found out the reason.

Servers are too expensive. In order to save investment, Korean online game companies like to store all data locally, that is, on the player's computer.

This allows the game to directly use modifiers to modify data, and can achieve almost invincible effects through some simple modifications or plug-ins.

Solving this problem is also very simple, change the game to server data verification.

The best solution to this problem is Shanda.

There are a total of 10,000 servers, and two to three billion have been spent on them, directly creating the glory of "Legend".

Lao Chen is still quite courageous.

Xu Liang's approach was the same as Lao Chen's, which was to spend money on servers.

What makes him better than Lao Chen is that he directly acquired the copyright of "Legend" and can obtain the source code to block cheats and private servers from the source.

Combining the two, the operating environment of "Legend: Overlord War" has always been good.

It also makes this game, which was originally of average quality but with innovative gameplay, even more popular.

Xu Liang looked at the developer of this game with some excitement.

eSofNet Corporation and Samsung Electronics.

The former one is just that, I haven’t heard of it much, but the latter one is famous.

Moreover, "Dragon" is developed based on the fantasy novel "Dragon" written by South Korean writer Lee Young-do.

The novel has an astonishing record of selling 2 million copies in South Korea. The fan base alone can guarantee that this game will make a lot of money. Therefore, as long as a business operator with a normal IQ will basically not sell.

He shook his head and continued to look back.

"'Red Moon'?"

I have some vague impressions, it seems I have played with it.

In fact, as the first science fiction-themed online game introduced in China, "Red Moon" has considerable influence in the Chinese online game industry.

In that prehistoric era of online games, compared to the poor "fantasy" and "martial arts" on the market, the science fiction theme of "Red Moon" made the players at that time shine, and the game quickly became popular all over the country.

Unfortunately, the popularity of the game did not last long, because a powerful opponent appeared, and that was Shanda's "Legend of Hot Blood".

Legend is so successful that it directly unified China's online game market with 500,000 simultaneous users in 2002!

What's even more deceiving is that in the face of the decline of the game, the agent of "Red Moon" actually gave up his job and ran away? !

A good game was wasted.

Xu Liang has now concluded that something that makes him feel vague and impressive is a good thing.

Let’s look at the development company of this game.

ShiLi Network Co.Ltd.

"Strength network?"

He shook his head, never heard of it.

After using a pen to circle the company, Xu Liang continued to scroll back.

His eyes lit up instantly.
