Chapter 072 Halo effect
Masayoshi Kishimoto took the flight from Tokyo to Seoul, South Korea is safe landing in the runway above the Gimpo International Airport.
The person who met him at the airport was Miyazaki Ryui. He held a cardboard sign with his name written in Chinese characters in both hands, so that Masayoshi Kishimoto could see his position at a glance.
After Masayoshi Kishimoto disembarked from the plane, it was indeed easy for him to spot Ryui Miyazaki in the middle of the crowd. He walked towards the other party without haste.
Miyazaki Ryui took the initiative to reach out and ask to pull the suitcase for his boss while greeting him with a smile, “It’s been a hard journey.”
Masayoshi Kishimoto let go of the luggage lever and handed it over to him, saying, “Running around and flying around is the job of those in our line of work.”
Miyazaki Ryui naturally understood this. He followed Masayoshi Kishimoto’s steps, pulling the suitcase towards the exit of the lobby of Gimpo International Airport.
After exiting the airport hall, Miyazaki Ryui opened the trunk of the car and put the suitcase in before closing the trunk lid. He sat in the driver’s seat and drove with both hands on the steering wheel.
Masayoshi Kishimoto didn’t sit in the back seat of the car, and directly sat in the passenger seat. In his opinion, at this time, the two of them were not just in a superior and subordinate relationship between a boss and an employee, but a relationship of good friends.
The car had already started and was driven out by Miyazaki Ryui for a good distance, it was only then that he reported in a serious manner, “South Korea’s Neowiz Game Company sent someone to make a contact with me to seek relevant cooperation.”
“It looks like Neowiz Game Company was positively influenced by our investment in NCsoft Online Game Company and NEXON Computer Game Company, causing us to experience a halo effect.”
Masayoshi Kishimoto heard good news this time when he had just stepped into Korean soil. His heart was beautiful. Neowiz Games Korea was founded on June 6, 1997 in South Korea.
Although it was a game company, its main direction was not the same as that of the NCsoft network game company and the NEXON computer game company.
It has realized a differentiation strategy in positioning itself in the future online game market, and the main business of NCsoft Network Games and NEXON Computer Games is 2D/3D MMORPG online games for PC clients.
Neowiz Games mainly operates Pmang, a game portal site, and is gradually moving into online communities (Say Club), online games (Pmang), and large-scale MMOs.
In addition, it also develops console, PSP, and online games such as DJ MAX1, DJ MAX2, CROSS FIRE, WAR LORD, DUEL GATE, and PERFECT KO.
It cooperated with American EA company (Electronic Arts) to develop the famous network soccer game-FIFA ONLINE.
The online game “Cross Fire”, also known as “CF”, which is known to Chinese gamers in later years, is from Neowiz Games. It will become the third largest game company in South Korea after development.
Justice Kishimoto’s heart was like a mirror, letting himself invest in the Korean Neowiz Game Company in the current June 1998, that was definitely a choice and decision that was as wise as investing in the NCsoft network game company and the NEXON computer game company in the first place.
“How are you going to talk to them?” Justice Kishimoto asked with a focused and targeted question.
“I’ve always adhered to the principle that you invest in a company that requires 40% of the shares, so I’ve politely expressed our intentions.
At the same time, we also made it clear that when we invested in the NCsoft online game company and the NEXON computer game company, we both received 40% of the shares.
Nowadays, the actual size and operation of Neowiz Game Company is not as good as NCsoft Online Game Company and NEXON Computer Game Company.
Naturally, I did not ask for less than 40% of the shares, and I also asked for equal shares and equal rights.” Miyazaki Ryui said truthfully.
“Very well. In the beginning, the reason why I was able to give NCsoft Online Game Company and NEXON Computer Game Company the condition of equal shares with different rights was in order to break into the Korean computer game industry at the fastest speed.
Now, we have already entered into, also established a very good reputation in the industry is that we are more often just as a bystander watching, in the attention, and will not intervene in it.
This is a project that you’re going to have to follow up on. The minimum I require for investing in any company is no less than 20% of the shares.” Justice Kishimoto delivered.
Miyazaki Ryui responded with an “Understood”, but in his heart, he was thinking that if he couldn’t even get 40% of the shares of Neowiz Games, wouldn’t it be a reflection of his own talent?
Therefore, his demand for himself is just like the words to Kishimoto justice, not only want the other side of 40% of the shares, but also asked for the same shares with the same rights.
If the other party didn’t give in, he would be able to use not investing as a blackmail condition for the breakdown of negotiations. To be fair, he didn’t think much of a game company like the other party.
It was only that the boss had specialized instructions, resulting in the fact that he could not only throw his weight behind the boss’s intentions, but also follow his own rules and regulations, investing in the Korean game industry would not be wrong.
“I let you pay extra attention and attention to the South Korea Seoul Gangnam side of the Songpa district, JN district, Seocho district of real estate industry trends how?”
Kishimoto justice on the current investment in South Korea can not forget in addition to the computer game industry, is its real estate industry.
Seoul is divided into two by the Han River, south of the Han River are called JN District. Many people in the future as the rich people in Seoul area, many rich people and celebrities live, and symbolizes the “fashion” and “affluence”.
In the famous song “Gangnam Style” by Uncle Bird Psy, “Gangnam” refers to the JN district of Seoul. In fact, the three districts of Gangnam, Songpa-gu, JN-gu, and Seocho-gu, are regarded by Seoul locals as the center of high society. However, the three districts of Gangnam tend to be where the nouveau riche live.
Seoul locals also know that most of Korea’s really rich people, people with old money, and the presidents of large companies live in the LS district north of the Han River.
The reason why housing prices there do not move much, on the surface seems to be cheaper than the three districts of Gangnam, is because the people who live there do not want to sell.
They are not short of money, so why should they sell? Moreover, the vast majority of them have inherited their ancestral property and will not sell it. Even if they do not live there, they will not sell.
Koreans are also deeply influenced by Confucian culture. This selling of ancestral property is something that belongs to the ungrateful sons and daughters, the losers. Like this pot, still by no one is willing to carry, also dare not carry.
Unless it is generally to the point of exhaustion before selling. Therefore, it is not like the three districts in Gangnam, Seoul, which were developed after 2000, there is a master plan, big demolition and construction, as if the magic city vigorously develops the PDX district.
Early to buy the house of these undeveloped places, that means early to buy early to benefit, early to make money. Waiting to come to the time when the price of the house rises greatly, only slowly out, earn a lot of money. However, Masayoshi Kishimoto’s idea was to hoard the land and then seek cooperation from local Korean real estate companies to make this money together.
