Chapter 2425 Prey

Even if the pre-installation of the Yahoo App was easily negotiated, Zhou Buqi would be considered a big help to Zheng Xiaoli. I got a Samsung mobile phone and my own Asda, are I still worried that something big will happen?

But this was not the main purpose of Zhou Buqi meeting Li Zairong.

His main purpose of switching between South Korea and Japan this time is to resolve the issue of South Korean gaming giant Nexon and promote the reconciliation between Samsung and Nexon.

Sun Wanran didn't understand this, "Why do you have to involve Samsung?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Only in this way can Nexon develop better."

"Whether Nexon is developing well or not, what does it have to do with you?"

"Changyou will invest in Nexon for strategic cooperation."

"Changyou wants to bring Nexon into the market and help Nexon's games operate and promote globally. On the one hand, Changyou can earn an operating commission and use Nexon's games as an introduction to win more partners; on the other hand, Changyou can earn an operating commission. Nexon’s games can be brought to Ziweiyun’s platform to promote Ziweiyun’s market position in game services.”

"Huh?" Zhou Buqi was a little funny, "Don't you understand this!"

Sun Wanran rolled her eyes at him and said softly: "But it doesn't need to be so troublesome, right? There are only a few globalized international giants. They are all Asian companies, and they are only a few meters apart. Isn't it easy to bring Nexon over?"

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Well, it's not too difficult."

Sun Wanran didn't understand, "Then why do you have to involve Samsung?"

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "Because Samsung has been eyeing Nexon, which is the biggest piece of fat in the Korean gaming market, and those traditional Korean chaebols can't even take it. Do you think it's annoying or not?"

Sun Wanran said: "Why do you care about them?"

Zhou Buqi said: "By connecting Samsung and Nexon, we can resolve the dispute, and we can also find a backer for Nexon. Samsung is also happy. If Li Zairong is happy, he can further deepen cooperation with Ziweixing in the future."

"That's it?"

Sun Wanran's eyebrows were filled with suspicion.

Just to please Samsung?

If Samsung is unhappy, what does it have to do with you?

Doesn’t this look like Boss Zhou’s style?

The two of them had returned home. Zhou Buqi glanced around and found that there were only a few secretaries such as Gu Zanli and Zhuo Wensi, but he did not see his newly promoted "maknae duo" Xu Zhuxian and Zheng Xiujing.

Sun Wanran saw the trick immediately and whispered: "Don't worry, your two beauties will be here soon. They seem to be still practicing in the company. They usually train very hard. I've seen it."

"Um."

Zhou Buqi then went directly to the study.

News has come from Zheng Xiaoli, saying that she has made a promotion plan for the new Yahoo App and asked Boss Zhou to take a look.

Sun Wanran was not satisfied, so she followed him to the study room, wanting to get to the bottom of things.

I feel like I can’t let go until I explain Nexon clearly.

Zhou Buqi had no choice but to tell the truth: "Do you know which type of people are easiest to deal with in a company?"

Sun Wanran said angrily: "People who can be bribed with money are the same everywhere."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Yes, not the founders, not the executives, not the employees, but the management. The purpose of capital is to obtain more capital, and everything is based on profit."

"Um."

Sun Wanran nodded slightly.

Zhou Buqi said: "As far as Nexon is concerned, the power of this company is now in the hands of founder Jin Zhengyu, so many things will be very troublesome to operate. Many of the founder's decisions often have nothing to do with making money, and will pursue Some ideals, beliefs, personal preferences, value tendencies, etc. Cooperating with Changyou is obviously very beneficial to Nexon, but he always has some weird ideas, which will increase a lot of barriers."

Sun Wanran suddenly understood, "It would be much easier if Nexon was not in the hands of the founders, but in the hands of the management. As long as it is profitable, we can promote cooperation."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Yes, that's what I mean. Do you see how smooth it was when Changyou acquired take-two? The most important reason is that take-two is in the hands of the employer. There is no need to tell them any ideals. , pursuit, future strategic planning, etc., they only need one thing to make them understand that after exchanging Take-Two's stocks for Changyou's stocks, they can have greater room for growth and make more money. This is much simpler to deal with. ”

"Nexon is also a gaming giant, with a market value of several take-two..." Sun Wanran blinked, already seeing the crux of the problem, "So you have greater ambitions for Nexon!"

Zhou Buqi said: "Nexon's games are so famous. Have you ever played "Bubble Hall"? There are also "MapleStory" and "Kart Racing" a lot. These are very valuable intellectual property rights. . Forget about games, if it is adapted into movies or TV series, there may be a huge market in the future.”

Sun Wanran was surprised and said: "You want to acquire Nexon!"

Zhou Buqi shook his head, "Nexon is too big, and a full acquisition is too complicated. Moreover, this is a Korean company, and its operation also involves public opinion risks. The populist sentiment in South Korea is too strong, so don't go against them. ."

Sun Wanran smiled happily, and now she understood everything, "So we have to bring Samsung into the field and let Samsung take the lead!"

Zhou Buqi said: "From Nexon's point of view, Samsung is the employer and easier to deal with. Secondly, if Samsung enters Nexon's board of directors, no matter how beautiful the previous guarantees are, it will definitely conflict with the founder team and try to compete for the company. Power. Changyou Strategically invests in Nexon and will also join the board of directors."

Sun Wanran followed his words and said: "As long as the time is ripe, we can team up with Samsung to drive away Nexon's founder team! Then...then we can control Nexon."

In fact, there is no need to drive them away.

Because the founder of Nexon, Jin Zhengyu, suffered from severe depression, he was unable to escape from the illness and committed suicide. As soon as he died, the entire company fell into disarray and became the target of several major gaming giants. Samsung, EA, Nintendo, and domestic Penguin companies have all entered the market to prey on it.

If Zhou Buqi makes arrangements in advance, he won’t have to rush for it later.

It naturally fell into his own hands.

Zhou Buqi said: "Li Zaiyong has no interest in the gaming business. For him, Nexon has two main purposes. One is the growth of profits, and the other is the nominal growth of the Samsung consortium."

"In name?" Sun Wanran raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Whether Nexon really belongs to the Samsung consortium is not important. What is important is that it belongs to Samsung in name and stands with the Li family. It is the Li family's sphere of influence."

"Oh." Sun Wanran understood now. She had heard him say it before, "The relationship between politics and business in South Korea."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "South Korea's political and business relations have nothing to do with us. The only purpose of Nexon's existence is to serve our interests. This is a gaming giant and an important force in the world's gaming industry. Only when we control it can we Provide good support to Changyou."

Sun Wanran couldn't help laughing, "Just to support Changyou?"

Zhou Buqi hummed, "What else do you want? It would be great to be Changyou's direct younger brother!"

"Will Changyou further increase its shareholding?"

"No, but after a few years when the Kakao Group develops, you can enter Nexon through Kakao. Manage the younger brother through the younger brother."

"That's it..." Sun Wanran got the answer, satisfied and said with a smile, "Then take a look at Yahoo App's new promotion plan. It's in your email favorites. I've read it and I think it's okay. Hmm... I Go ask those two Korean girls why they haven’t arrived yet.”

Zhou Buqi said nonchalantly: "I don't care much about these things, I still focus on work."
