After touring around South Korea for two days, Feng Yu felt bored.
The attractions in Korea were not interesting to him, and he was also troubled with his relationship problems with two women.
How can the palaces in Korea compare to China’s Forbidden City? Even some Chinese old capitals are more majestic than Korean palaces. Feng Yu is also not interested in theme parks or beaches with beautiful women.
Weng Zhijian, on the other hand, is excited to be at the beaches. But the beautiful women there are not willing to talk to him, as they can tell he is only a follower.
Kameda Masao noticed Feng Yu is not interested in these places of interest and asked his men to arrange Feng Yu’s visit to the companies he is interested in.
Kameda Masao had contacted this company, and they are demanded a high price. Kameda’s team was prepared to negotiate this takeover bid, and bringing Feng Yu around Korea in the past two days are part of the negotiating strategy. He does not want to show they are too eager to buy out the company.
Actoz soft is the company that developed Legend of Mir in Feng Yu’s previous left. But this company was managed badly. After handing the distribution rights to Shanda, they were taken over by Shanda. Taken over by their distributor is proof that the company’s management sucks!
Also, Actoz soft had invested in WeMade Entertainment, and WeMade had surpassed them. WeMade went on to become a world-renowned online and mobile games developer.
But Actoz soft do have good technical skills, and the game they are developing now is one of the reasons for the rise of PCs and online games in Feng Yu’s previous life. Many internet cafes in China became popular because of this game. This is the first MMO that made people forget their meals and developed the Game card industry.
Feng Yu is targeting this industry as he can make money from the games and PCs.
In the future, the company can develop more games like LOL and Dungeons.
Profits from the gaming industry are higher than expectations, especially with games related products.
“Boss, this company, Actoz soft, startup capital is less than 5 billion Won, and Won had depreciated a lot now. It is only worth around 2.5 billion RMB, which is around 3 million USD. However, they are asking for 6 million USD and want us to promise not to fire anyone.” Kameda Masao reported to Feng Yu in the car.
Feng Yu is pleased with the company’s game development because they had developed Legend of Mir. The leveling system and characters of this game are considered sophisticated in this era. Also, the gameplay is simple and fun.
But Feng Yu is not happy with the condition of not firing any of the staff. The managers of this company are not qualified, and they must be replaced with Feng Yu’s men. Also, the finance department, game designers, etc. will also be replaced.
Feng Yu does not mind about their asking price as he can make at least 30 million USD from the Chinese market alone.
“Although 6 million USD might be high, it is still acceptable. But the management team of this company must be controlled by us. We cannot accept their condition of keeping all the staff. We can set a criterion, and we decide whether if we want to fire those that cannot fulfill the criteria. They cannot interfere with our decisions!”
How can we don’t have a say in the manpower after we bought the company? Those people are too arrogant!
“Boss, I am confident to buy this company at around 4.5 million USD. The current management team of this company is not good at management.”
“No. What I lack is time now. I want this company’s game to be launched worldwide on New Year’s Day! That’s why we must acquire this company as soon as possible and then increase the number of developers and start the Alpha testing.”
In Feng Yu’s previous life, Legend of Mir had done very well in Asia, especially China. But their sales in other parts of the world are not high. After all, South Korea’s culture is very similar to China.
“Ah… if we have more time, maybe we can find some bugs in the game and suppress the price.” Kameda Masao is troubled. Feng Yu wants everything to be fast, and he does not have enough time.
But luckily, Kameda Masao had contacted Actoz soft, and this company pushed back the launch of their game, as they are afraid the company’s value will drop if the launch fails.
Feng Yu suddenly rubbed his chin. “You are saying that if we can find bugs in the game, we can lower the price? If that’s the case, I think I have a solution.”
When the Legend of Mir was launched in Feng Yu’s previous life, there were lots of bugs, and Shanda helped to patch up the bugs. This led to Shanda improving their development skills and started developing their games in the future.
Kameda Masao’s eyes widen. “Boss, you also know about game development?”
“No, but I know how to play PC games. Later after we reach the company, let me play with their game for a while. I will point out some problems with the game and see how they are going to solve it!”
This type of game needs massive servers, and at the start of the game, the characters will appear naked. Only in China, the characters will appear in their underwear.
The game also has issues with picking items, maps, data, equipment and gold drop rates, etc.
Feng Yu still remembered some of the hidden in-game missions. He will tell the developers that the missions are too easy, even for kids, and see how they are going to answer!
Although Kameda Masao does not know about games or looking for bugs, he believed what Feng Yu said.
Even if they cannot find any bugs, they will just pay more to take over the company.
……
“Boss, this is the CEO of Actoz soft, Choi Woong. Mr. Choi, this is my boss, Mr. Feng Yu. World’s Second wealthiest man, Asia’s number one tycoon!”
Choi Woong was shocked. He knew Kameda Masao is the President of a listed company, Sixth Sense, and thought he was the one who wants to acquire Actoz Soft. Choi Woong did not expect Kameda Masao to have a boss still and his boss is the super tycoon Feng Yu!
But this is a piece of good news to Choi Woong. Tycoons are mostly generous and will surely pay a good price for the company!
“Mr. Feng, nice to meet you. I represent Actoz Soft to welcome you.”
Feng Yu shook Choi Woong’s hand arrogantly and asked. “I heard from Kameda that your company had developed a good game. Can you let me try it for a while?”
“Of course!” Choi Woong was overjoyed. He felt Feng Yu is too arrogant and how can he discover the bugs in the game himself. He thought that if Feng Yu enjoys the game, the company might fetch a higher price. Maybe 6 million USD is too low. Should I ask for 8 million USD?
