Chapter 590: Acquisition

A week later. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Park Ji-hoon ended his own camera shooting in "Please Answer 1997" ahead of schedule and hurriedly flew to Sweden with Park Min-ah and others. accompanied by a full 12 lawyers, who were specially explained by Shen Huiying, and the amount involved was too large, so I was not at ease.

Alberto personally greeted the group at the airport.

Park Min-ah finally meets him in real life.

About 40 years old, 180cm tall, slightly fat, but overall fine. Obviously, the upper lip, chin, and cheeks have a dense beard, and after wearing a pair of glasses, it gives people a sense of elegance. Very cultivated, enthusiastic, and likes to make some small jokes.

After settling in, he contacted Marcus Alexei Poisson and others directly in the evening of the same day.

Unexpectedly, something almost went wrong!

Alberto did not tell Marcus Alexei Poisson that the buyer was an Asian and so young that if it had not been agreed, he would have rejected it outright! Fortunately, Marcus Alexei Poisson took his promise very seriously.

Faced with this situation, Park Zhixun did not rush to speak, but quietly listened to Marcus Alexei Poisson complain, and then explained his position on Mojang AB, or "Minecraft" - the development is still in charge of the original team, and will not make any changes, and at the same time invited Marcus Alexei Poisson to stay for half a year to escort the remaining team.

Very refreshing, no bargaining at all.

The conversation is elegant, especially sincere, and it is difficult to be offended.

Enough attention is paid to Minecraft players. Make sure that some of your previous offline events are retained.

Trust Minecraft enough. I believe there is still more potential to be tapped. The results will definitely be better in the future.

Deliberately founded an investment company in Sweden, with Alberto as CEO, and the announced acquirer will also be this investment company.

Alberto and the others watched with their own eyes, and Marcus Alexei Poisson, who was originally not very satisfied, somewhat resistant, and chattering, was persuaded by Park Zhixun like a child -- in the eyes of everyone, it was really as simple as "coaxing a child"! There was no impassioned tone, no strong body movements, etc., but more like a good temptation, which changed Markus Alexei Poisson's opinion of him in a light and quiet manner.

The two founders, Carl Mane and Yakub Percy, along with Marcus Alexei Poisson, also feel that this Asian seems to be good.

A week later. The two sides successfully completed the handover.

Neither side announced it to the public, and when the changes to the official website information were inadvertently seen by netizens, the outside world learned that Mojang AB was actually acquired quietly!

At the sincere invitation of Park Ji-hoon, Markus Alexei Poisson, Carl Mane, and Yakub Percy all agreed to stay in office for half a year, which played a big role in appeasing fans!

However, what the outside world is more curious about is where this investment company called "MY" came from! From the time of registration, it is not difficult to see that "MY" was specially founded to acquire Mojang AB, and the CEO is Alberto, and the employees are ...... Still recruiting. There have also been attempts to find out who is behind "my", but to no avail - it is really difficult to connect this company with Park Ji-hoon. When Alberto resigned from SoftBank. There is no mention of Park Ji-hoon either.

As time passed, people's curiosity slowly precipitated.

Mojang AB is just a small company of 38 people. The world's influence, largely dependent on the game Minecraft, is confined to a specific gaming circle, and is far from its peak - the main reason Park is bullish on the acquisition. "Minecraft" is different from "Dragon's Maze" in that it is not a sudden explosion, but a little bit of accumulation, acceleration, and getting on a high-speed track this year. Both Park Ji-hoon and Alberto are convinced that if they wait until the end of 2012, it will definitely not be 500 million US dollars to acquire!

With almost all of the original cast retained, the volatility generated by the acquisition was minimal, and the media gradually lost interest in digging into the financiers behind it.

During this period, Park Ji-hoon also completed another capital injection.

Compared to Mojang AB's acquisition, this acquisition can be said to be almost uneventful, and there is very little media attention.

Azubu, a German gaming media company, is planning to enter the world of live video streaming and is already in the pipeline. Alberto took a fancy to Azubu's "" live streaming platform, which happened to be noticed by him because he was seeking to inject capital. In fact, it was his first goal, because he had inadvertently reached an acquisition intention with Marcus Alexei Poisson, so it was delayed until now.

Park Ji-hoon once told him that he was trying to build his own game platform - as we all know, Apple will charge a 30% "Apple tax" on apps downloaded through the AppStore and subsequent internal consumption of the software. Of course, mobile games are also in the ranks, and some other platforms will even take an extra cut after Apple! In addition, there are so many users of "Wisdom Dragon Maze" nowadays, it would be too wasteful if you don't take advantage of it. This platform is not limited to mobile games, the key is the accumulation of users.

Moreover, in 2012, the entire world's gaming industry was in a booming period. In this regard, he and Park Ji-hoon have a consensus that "whoever opens the window first will have the sun first"!

The game industry is not easy to meddle, so it will be a live broadcast platform.

In the end, Park Ji-hoon injected 20 million US dollars, owned "80% of the shares", and cooperated with Azubu. He doesn't just invest because of those "big and far" goals! As we all know, South Korea is an esports powerhouse, and many professional players are not inferior to celebrities. However, Korean professional players basically don't do live broadcasts, which is a big cake!

After a delay of 10 days, Park Ji-hoon returned to South Korea.

On the plane, he had been resting with his eyes closed.

There is a faint headache! Since the outbreak of "Wisdom Dragon Maze". Everything was out of his plan. Especially after the completion of these two acquisitions. He had a feeling of being able to eat.

However, it can't be stopped!

Just as he and Alberto agreed that "whoever opens the window first, will have the sunshine first", and now the development of the mobile game industry can almost be described as "the speed of light"! With the emergence of more and more competitors, especially the outbreak of "Wisdom Dragon Maze", many large groups have begun to pay attention to the mobile game field, and this approach of "horse racing" will soon not work. Opposite. It will face fierce competition and squeeze.

Therefore, in this period of competition for "turf", we must not stop!

A pair of soft, girl-like little hands suddenly fell on his head and helped him massage gently.

Park Ji-hoon didn't open his eyes, relaxed his body, and quietly enjoyed Park Min-ah's massage.

Light, heavy, urgent, slow, Park Min-ah did just right.

Before he knew it, Park Ji-hoon fell asleep.

Incheon Airport.

Kim Min-joon came early to wait for the pick-up.

Park Ji-hoon said that it would take a week, but it turned out to take a full 11 days! Some of the previously scheduled announcements need to be rescheduled, and many things need his personal consent. Plus some invitations to parties and events...... During his absence, it was like suddenly losing his backbone!

"Ji-hoon, Min-ah!" when he saw Park Ji-hoon and Park Min-ah appear. Kim Min Joon couldn't help but be a little excited!

It is easy to find that the brother and sister walk together, which is particularly eye-catching.

At this moment, there are already many tourists around the two of them stopping and taking pictures.

After waving his hand, Kim Minjun hurriedly beckoned a group of assistants to step forward and separate the crowd for the two.

"Brother Minjun, I'm sorry for you. Park Ji-hoon also knew that he was not having a good time during this time.

"Zhixun, take me with you next time you go abroad. Kim Minjun said with a bitter face.

"Flutter!" Park Min-ah couldn't help but chuckle.

"There was a delay for the time being. Park Ji-hoon smiled embarrassedly and explained.

"I know!" Kim Min-joon said hurriedly. Just kidding, he always remembered his responsibilities and didn't really mean to complain.

Park Ji-hoon's acquisition was in the name of a Korean studio, and it was certainly impossible to hide it because it was going to cooperate with a Korean esports team. Long ago, he took the initiative to announce this news on the Internet, which can be regarded as an explanation to the fans of "Please Answer 1997" - today is July 24th, in order to wait for him to come back and participate in the fan appreciation together, tvn deliberately divided the last two episodes into two weeks!

"Go to the beauty salon first, then go straight to tvn. Kim Min-joon said. Today, the finale of "Please Answer 1997" was broadcast, and the leading actors will hold a fan appreciation party on TVN, and also call on fans and viewers to hit higher ratings.

"Hmm. Park Ji-hoon nodded and said to Park Min-ah: "Min-ah, you go home first." ”

"I'm going to find Sister Yuli. Park Min-ah said with a smile.

"Oh, yes, ask them when they have time, and owe them a celebratory party. Park Ji-hoon said. I used to promise Yori and others to hold a celebration party together when Park Min-ah came back, but it has been delayed until now.

"Good!" Park Min Ah nodded.

The two separated.

In the lobby on the first floor of tvn, there are already many fans of "Please Answer 1997". In one sentence, to describe the popularity of this TV series, it is "are there still people who haven't watched it now"! The 15th episode broadcast last week had an average rating of 5.07%, setting a new record for the ratings of TV dramas on cable TV stations!

In order to make up for the guilt, Park Ji-hoon agreed with fans when he was abroad that if the average rating of the finale of "Please Answer 1997" exceeded 6%, he would star in "M! countdown!

agreed to star with Jung Eun-di in "M! countdown, albeit a little late. But just for this agreement, many viewers began to mobilize their friends to stick to the finale of "Please Answer 1997"!

Apgujeong, Park Ji-hoon has a beauty salon that he often visits.

"Why are you here?" As soon as I entered the door, I saw an unexpected acquaintance. (To be continued.) )
