Chapter 668: Negotiation

Jessica, Yori and others also found out about Taeyeon and Seo Hyun's "disappearance" at the same time, and they were frowning or looking, all of them showing worry. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It didn't take long for the two to return.

No one knows what the two said, although there were inquiries in private, but both of them kept their mouths tight, and it was not easy for others to ask again and again.

The content of the conversation became a mystery.

After that, the two of them didn't see anything different, Taeyeon was still silent, and Seo-hyun was still always alone. The only change is that the two of them are gradually returning to the way they were when they were working. This is undoubtedly exciting news for the upcoming return of Girls' Generation - although they have been practicing hard during this time, and there are no mistakes, everyone is obviously not in a state, and it feels different!

Park Ji-hoon didn't know about it, and no one told him.

Before the end of the year, there were too many events and award ceremonies, and everyone was busy, and he was no exception.

The negotiation with MBC TV station was orderly, and after the initial intention was reached, he didn't have to worry too much. However, there was no leisure, and Kakao Talk found him.

At the beginning, it was he who took the initiative to contact Kakao Talk and wanted to cooperate in the development of a mobile game platform. It's just that Kakao Talk is too proud, which is a common problem of many large companies, and the two sides did not break up unhappily.

Later, Kakao Talk teamed up with Sundaytoz, the developer of Anipang, to develop a mobile game platform, and it was an unprecedented success!

It's just that I didn't expect it. The rookie Park Ji-hoon, who was looked down on at all. actually tossed out the monster-level mobile game "Wisdom Dragon Maze"!

I didn't even think of it. Park Ji-hoon casually acquired a Finnish mobile game team, and actually made up a mobile game like "Clashclans", which is not inferior to "Wisdom Dragon Maze"!

Originally, Kakao Talk still had the idea of "waiting for Park Ji-hoon to be unlucky" -- it is not so easy to be a bird, and it is not impossible to make forcible acquisitions, make stumbling blocks, and even intervene by political forces.

However, to their surprise, it was calm, and Park Ji-hoon sat firmly on Mount Tai. They even stumbled on their overseas expansion plans and forced them to stop their overseas expansion plans! When did South Korea's market environment become so good? It was even more surprising than a wolf suddenly stopped eating sheep!

By the time they reflected, Park Ji-hoon had not only completed capital accumulation, but also swept through the Korean mobile game market and acquired many small and medium-sized mobile game studios!

Kakao Talk certainly doesn't look down on these small studios, but the mobile game platform needs the works of these studios! "Milk" and "wool", just count on these studios! Now, these studios have been acquired by Park Ji-hoon. It is tantamount to cutting off their financial means.

Formal business competition, has been proven. It is impossible to suppress Park Ji-hoon. Moreover, even if it is suppressed, it will not help, and in the end it can only hurt 1,000 enemies and 800 self-inflicted losses.

Therefore, Kakao Talk took the initiative to contact Park Ji-hoon and tried to seek cooperation.

At the beginning of November, he had already started to contact, but he was put aside by Park Ji-hoon.

At first, Kakao Talk only thought that Park Ji-hoon was holding a grudge against the original refusal, apologized several times, and said that he had removed the head of the operation department, Lee Mi-hee, -- this is for sure! Missing out on a mobile game like "Lost Dragon Maze" -- someone must be responsible -- but Park Ji-hoon still didn't say it.

Later, Kim Beom-so, the founder of Kakao Talk, seemed to realize something and took the initiative to contact Park Ji-hoon.

This time, Park Ji-hoon gave a direct reply.

Although his temper is getting milder and gentler, the pride in his bones cannot be erased! Obviously it was his proposal, but Kakao Talk kicked him out with a haughty gesture and turned to cooperate with others, how could he not mind?

On November 30, 2012, the 2012 Asian Music Festival was held in Hong Kong, Park Ji-hoon and Kim Fan-so met at a café in Cheongdam-dong.

The temperature can already be described as "cold", even on a warm afternoon, it is only 10C.

Recently, he often can't sleep all night and all night - although he is good at controlling his emotions, but that's just because he hasn't encountered something that really makes him uncontrollable - is a little weak, so Park Ji-hoon wears very thick, warm pants on the bottom, and a thick black jacket on the upper body in addition to the line jacket, and a printed casual cap on his head, if it is not in good shape, it is really inconspicuous.

Jin Fanxiu's dress is even more inconspicuous, crocodile leather shoes, light green custom slacks, shirt and black blazer, and a goatee, it is hard to believe that he is actually the founder of Kakao Talk!

His story is legendary.

Born into abject poverty, his parents were only elementary schooled, and his success was miraculous in a country like South Korea, which was dominated by chaebol families.

In his life, there were two main ventures.

For the first time, he started his first company, Hangame, which started as an internet café and later developed into an online game developer. At this point, he realized that he needed a partner, so he got back together with his former colleague Lee Hae-jin at Samsung, who started a search company called "Naver", and the two companies merged to form NHN.

In 2005, he gradually distanced himself from NHN management and left altogether two years later.

As a result, there was his second venture, and Kakao Talk was born.

Despite his uneasy heart, Park Ji-hoon still respects him very much.

"Hello, Mr. Kim Beom-so!" Park Ji-hoon arrived first, and after Kim Beom-so arrived, he took the initiative to get up and greet politely.

"Hello, Mr. Park Ji-hoon. Kim Beom-so first looked at Park Ji-hoon carefully, and what he saw on TV was different from the real person after all. It's unbelievably young. Then he said. "Sorry, a bit rude. ”

"It doesn't matter. Park Ji-hoon smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "Please take a seat." ”

Kim Fan-so took off his coat and sat down.

Although it was a little cold outside, it was very comfortable to sit inside the house and bask in the bright sunlight through the window.

Park Ji-hoon's private room. The sound insulation effect is very good, elegant and quiet, chic, and a few green potted plants add a bit of vitality to the private room.

"I really didn't expect you to be so young!" Kim Beom-so couldn't help but sigh after Park Ji-hoon sat down.

He has a very easy-going personality, in fact, he once went to the doctor because he couldn't get angry. However, Kakao Talk has a lot of investors and managers, so it is not affected by his personality.

"You are a senior. Just speak plainly to me. Park Ji-hoon smiled and said. "Artists, they always pay more attention to appearance management. ”

"That's right!" Hearing what Park Ji-hoon said, Kim Fan-so suddenly said, "I forgot to congratulate you on being crowned emperor for the second time and winning a great harvest at the Daejong Awards! "The Two-Faced King" is very good, I took my family to the cinema to watch it. ”

"Thank you! Park Ji-hoon thanked him.

"I'm curious, how do you maintain such vigorous energy?" asked Kim Beom-so again.

"Heart!" Park Ji-hoon was slightly stunned, he didn't expect him to have such a "curious baby" side, but he still explained, "As long as you want to do it, you can always do it." Compared to Da Vinci's master, my results are not worth mentioning. ”

Jin Fanxiu couldn't help but twitch the corners of her eyes.

Painter, astronomer, inventor, architectural engineer, sculptor, musician, mathematician, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist, writer...... Dare to compare with such da Vinci, no wonder Park Ji-hoon is so versatile!

The coffee came up, and after the two chatted a few more words, they finally got to the point.

"Nowadays, nearly three-quarters of South Korea's population is using Kakao Talk!" In terms of playability, "Anipang" is completely incomparable to "Jilong Maze" and "Clashclans", but in South Korea, "Anipang" occupies the top spot, why......" Kim Beom-so has a clear idea, trying to convince Park Ji-hoon with data and this comparison.

There is only one purpose, to let "Wisdom Dragon Maze" and "Clashclans" join Kakao Talk's mobile game platform!

Although Kakao Talk already has a large user base, its revenue has only started to soar since July this year, when Anipang was launched on the mobile game platform.

For the two mobile games "Lost in the Dragon" and "Clashclans", all investors and managers of Kakao Talk are greedy! If it is not driven by profits, how can it be actively posted after being exposed by Park Ji-hoon?

As for the "September War" between the two sides, where is there no competition in business?

"It's a pity. After listening patiently, Park Ji-hoon shook his head and said, "I am also very optimistic about the future of Kakao Talk in the mobile game market, and I was very much looking forward to cooperating with you." But no longer it is needed!"

"Why? If it's because of the percentage of shares, we can lower it appropriately. Jin Fanxiu frowned slightly and said, "Our goal is to achieve a win-win situation, and it will definitely allow you to obtain more profits!" No one will stupidly send their products over for others to exploit, so they have already decided to reduce the share from the beginning, and if they can't achieve the profit that Park Ji-hoon is satisfied with, they will not even hesitate to cooperate in the way of "zero share"!

The success of the mobile game platform has made many shareholders eager to expand the market, and they do not want to have such a competitor!

"Not for that reason. Park Ji-hoon waved his hand and said, "Anyway, thank you for your kindness." ”

"In the future, we will also appropriately reduce the share ratio of your game. Jin Fanxiu said again.

"It's not the reason for that. Park Ji-hoon politely declined again.

Picking up the coffee, Jin Fanxiu tried to think about the crux of the problem. After a while, his body suddenly froze, raised his eyes to look at Park Ji-hoon, and called softly, "Azubu TV?"

Park Ji-hoon's mobile game company has been operating a small mobile game platform, and currently only has two games, "Clashclans" and "Wisdom Dragon Maze". Great resources, Park Ji-hoon is fully capable of using the game to promote the platform, but Park Ji-hoon has never done so, and even Kakao Talk has ridiculed Park Ji-hoon for being too young and conceited, but he suddenly realized at this moment that Park Ji-hoon's ideal platform is Azubu TV, an e-sports platform that has just been established!

Park Ji-hoon was a little surprised by the speed of his reaction, but he did not deny it. Azubu TV's current business is live video, and it's worldwide, and Kakao Talk has no power to stop it.

"Whew-" Jin Fanxiu sighed softly, but he didn't rush to get angry because of this--in the past 11 years, he has hardly been in a hurry!

Then compete!

Kakao Talk has seized the opportunity, coupled with its own natural advantages, there is no need to be afraid of his competition at all! Now, mobile game studios have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, can Park Ji-hoon still buy them all?

However, I still have a good impression of Park Ji-hoon.

"How about we go and play a few StarCraft games? After drinking coffee, Jin Fanxiu suddenly invited.

"Uh!" Park Ji-hoon was stunned. (To be continued.) )
