Japan has always been the most lucrative mobile game market in the world. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In Japan, the average monthly spend per paying player is around $65, which is a high number. However, Japan is also one of the hardest mobile game markets in the world to enter!

This provides a very good environment for "Dragon Maze" to dominate the Japanese mobile game market.

In 2013, the size of the Japanese mobile game market was 546.8 billion yen, including the total revenue of both native mobile games and mobile web mobile games, of which the native mobile game "Wisdom Dragon Maze" accounted for 51% of the market!

Ji Sang-hyuk submitted the first quarter of 2014 to Park Ji-hoon. In the first quarter of 2014, "Wisdom Dragon Maze" still maintained the upward trend of the previous year's performance, with revenue of 49.909 billion yen and net profit of 17.063 billion yen. The surprise is "Monster Marbles", the revenue in the first quarter was 33.311 billion yen, up 59.8% from the previous quarter, the operating profit was 15.577 billion yen, up 70.7% from the previous quarter, and the net profit was 10.021 billion yen, up 72.6% from the previous quarter.

After more than a year, there is finally a new work that can threaten the supremacy of "Dragon Maze", but it is still a work owned by AzubuGames, which makes the industry lose its voice.

In the words of the Japanese media, "Dragon's Maze" and "Monster Pinballs" have become the two major oligarchs in the Japanese mobile game market, and the two games account for about 70-80% of the overall mobile game market in Japan.

However, behind this is the high cost of publicity.

Since "Monster Marbles" showed signs of being a blockbuster, the team in charge began to operate "Monster Marbles" with the treatment of "Hidden Dragons", adding LINE friend connection function, adding video sharing functions with AzubuTV platform, and launching large-scale commercials with 7-Eleven convenience stores and soccer worlds...... At the beginning, "Wisdom Dragon Maze" was able to grow rapidly because Park Ji-hoon was willing to invest a huge amount of money.

Although Ji Sang-hyuk and the three are the developers of "Wisdom Dragon Maze", they are relatively much more conservative, which is not unrelated to the status and net worth of the three. Park Ji-hoon invested a huge amount of money, of course, to increase his shareholdings, and the price he paid at that time was very worthy of the three of them, so Ji Sang-hyuk easily saw it and lived a chic life.

But Gu Bencheng and Kim Sung-hoon are the more rigid academic types, and they have come to the point where they are now.

Although he usually doesn't have much contact, Park Ji-hoon has a very good impression of the two, willing to endure hardships, able to endure hardships, and have excellent skills. It's just that these two people are not sociable and don't know much about management, so he hired Sho Harada and Ryota Ikegami to manage the company, and the two were dissatisfied, and it is estimated that there are also reasons for this.

However, there are not many factors in his treatment of the two, mainly to maintain the stability of the company and to show Ji Sanghyuk and the others.

After all, they are classmates who studied abroad together, comrades-in-arms who started businesses and worked together, and the relationship between several people is deeper; and Zhao Qixiang and Zheng Haodong, who are also alumni of the two, have managed the CG special effects company into a production team of 150 people, and a large company with high value-added CG technology such as digital virtual actors, digital virtual creatures, and simulated fluids, and also carry out "3D animation", "3D stereoscopic images", and "holograms" for the upcoming impact market and other project development, the special effects business has long been extended overseas, and has created a great reputation throughout Asia. When Park Ji-hoon first invested in OculusVR, he had the idea of introducing technology to a CG special effects company.

Gu Bencheng and Kim Sung-hoon, to put it bluntly, are just "corruption", and Ji Sang-hyuk and the three will definitely want him to be light-hearted.

Instead of waiting for the three of them to open their mouths and then sell favors, it is better for him to take the initiative.

One is to deliberately sell favors, and the other is to take the initiative to give favors, for comrades-in-arms who have cooperated for many years and started a business together, the latter is undoubtedly more precious.

At 17 o'clock, Park Ji-hoon returned to the office on time.

"Have you thought about it?" In front of Gu Bencheng and Kim Sung-hoon, he still had an indifferent expression. There is no need to deliberately give favors to the two, but the favors of the three of Ji Sanghyuk are too worthless.

"We agreed to hand over 3% of the shares. Gu Bencheng said first.

After more than an hour of "confinement", the two of them thought about it and were frightened, and finally decided to hand over these "life money". The two don't want to live in prison, and they are more worried that if they don't pay the "life money", they will have the opportunity to enjoy the dividends of the remaining shares in the future.

The two of them and Ji Sang-hyuk each hold 7% of the shares of the studio of "Hidden Dragon", and even if they hand over 3%, there is still 4% left.

It's not that the two didn't think about selling their shares to outsiders, but they were arrested too suddenly, and they didn't have a chance at all.

Park Ji-hoon can't give the two another chance.

"What is the price of the remaining stocks?" Seeing Park Ji-hoon nodding noncommittally, Gu Bencheng hesitated and asked.

It is conceivable that Park Ji-hoon will definitely not offer a high price.

However, Park Ji-hoon did not give them a third option at all!

The two have been focusing on technology and don't know much about Park Ji-hoon's personality, but Ji Sang-hyuk has already told the two before. How is it possible to break out of the closed Japanese market and achieve the level of an "oligarch" without being powerful? Therefore, after meeting Park Zhixun, he was so honest and timid.

"$50 million. Park Ji-hoon glanced at the two of them and replied.

"How is that possible?!" said Goo Bencheng and Kim Sung-hoon in unison.

Driven by interests, the two have long forgotten their timidity!

The outside world's valuation of the "Wisdom Dragon Maze" studio is 5 billion US dollars, and 4% of the shares are 200 million, even if there is an inflated price, Park Zhixun's bid of 50 million is too much!

"Too little!"

"Impossible!"

The two quickly added, resolute.

"You don't want to sell it at a valuation from media reports, do you?" asked Park Ji-hoon with a smirk. The media's valuation of $5 billion for the studio of "Wisdom Dragon" is due to the company's own hype!

"That $50 million is too low!" said Gu Bencheng after calming down a little, still with a bit of anger.

"That's right!" Kim Sung-hoon immediately agreed.

Park Ji-hoon didn't speak, but squinted at the two of them slightly, tapping his right index finger rhythmically on his leg.

Goo Ben Seung and Kim Sung-hoon gradually felt a pressure that seemed to be like a substance coming to their faces!

"Why do you want 100 million!" After a while, Gu Bencheng gritted his teeth and said.

They will definitely not choose to continue to hold this part of the shares, otherwise they will have no place to avenge their grievances if they are played to death by Park Zhixun!

So, be sure to sell at a high price.

"100 million is impossible!" Park Ji-hoon said lightly.

"At least 100 million!" Kim Sung-hoon said through gritted teeth, "It's already half price!"

Park Ji-hoon glanced at him.

In an instant, Kim Sung-hoon had a feeling of being targeted by a fierce beast, and his hairs stood on end!

"$80 million!" Park Ji-hoon said slowly, word by word.

Make no secret of your determination.

"Tai ......" Gu Bencheng wanted to say something, but when he saw Park Ji-hoon suddenly stand up, he hurriedly changed his words: "Okay!"

"Ready to sign the contract. Park Ji-hoon left a sentence and turned to leave.

MineCraft sold for $2.5 billion, NestLabs was acquired by Google, and his 15% stake was $480 million, and the $1 billion needed for the Kowloon Village development plan was a bank loan, not a one-time investment, and he had a lot of cash in his hands!

A one-time payment of $160 million was easy.

He didn't want to leave the tail of his hand, so he cut it all at once.

"Help me make an appointment with Masayoshi Son. After Gu Bencheng and Kim Sung-hoon left, Park Ji-hoon said to Ji Sang-hyuk, who looked a little depressed.

"Masayoshi Son of the SoftBank Group?" Chi Sang-hyuk was a stirring spirit.

He has Son's contact details because SoftBank Group has always wanted to buy a stake in the studio of "Lost Dragon"!

suddenly understood why Park Ji-hoon set up a separate "Monster Marbles" studio, why he vigorously laid out "Monster Marbles", why he transferred many department elites to the "Monster Marbles" studio in the name of "helping the brother department", and why he was so eager to buy the shares in the hands of Gu Bencheng and the others...... Do you want to be so scheming?!

"Of the 14% shares, I will keep 12%, 1% will be given to you, and 1% will be awarded to all employees of the company. Park Ji-hoon continued.

He's so willing!

Ji Sang-hyuk was stunned again.

With an estimated value of $5 billion for "The Lost City of Dragons", 1% is $50 million!

"I'll go now!" all the words were swallowed back, and Ji Sang-hyuk replied respectfully.
