Chapter 1016 Wemade's Dilemma

Just a few months ago, Park Kwan-ho had a heated argument with actoz's representative director Choi Woong.

Cui Xiong accused 'Legend' of operating at a loss since November last year. How could Park Kwan-ho have the nerve to propose strengthening the operating resources of 'Legend'? Park Kwan-ho accused it of investing too little operating resources.

There will be an embarrassing situation like this, and if you say that 'Legend' is losing money, you will be struck by lightning if you tell lies!

Cui Xiong, who was furious, immediately quoted an old Chinese saying, "The fragrance of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley." Pu Guanhao's retort made Pu Guanhao blush and become speechless.

The two broke up unhappy!

In fact, after being disappointed with the performance of "Legend", actoz has completely stopped investing in its marketing and is instead focusing its resources on promoting "Millennium" which is in internal testing.

And 'Millennium' has lived up to expectations. The internal beta test in China has been very popular. Many players who have not received a place for the internal beta have even called or gone directly to Actoz to appeal for official operation and open registration as soon as possible.

In this case, 'Legend' is destined to become actoz's abandoned son.

Actoz has asked Park Guanhao and his R&D team several times to stop upgrading the second generation of 'Legend' and instead develop new games. 'Stop focusing on outdated games, wasting the company's funds, and paving the way for your own decadence.

Make excuses.'

As a result, not only was he rejected by Park Guanhao, but he even went to Choi Xiong to make a fuss, accusing his game of being first-class and the reason why it was not good was entirely due to the company's inaction.

How could Cui Xiong give him a good look when he was making such unreasonable troubles?

In anger, Park Guanhao resigned with most of the members of his R&D team and jointly founded Wemade, taking with him the upgraded version of 'Legend 2'.

You must know that actoz was only established at the end of October 1996, and it took only three years to become successful.

Compare nexon, which was founded in 1995, neowiz, ncsoft, which were founded in 1997, the huge success of these companies, as well as the large number of newly established ndamehi, webzen, this year——

Park Guanhao and his partners also had high ambitions when they left their jobs. They will lead the upgraded version of "Legend 2" and move towards the same glory.

Let Actoz, a company that looks down upon others, take a look at it. It’s not that the ‘legend’ they worked so hard to create is not good, it’s that Actoz is rubbish!

Actoz is certainly happy to see Park Guanhao voluntarily leave the company with most of the members of his R&D team, and at the same time take away the "Legend 2" under development.

Because this can just reduce the company's useless expenses. As for the "Legend 2" that is being upgraded, the company has actually completely given up on the half-dead online game "Legend", but the server is running slowly.

I am slowly getting my money back, and I have no interest in the 'Legend 2' at all.

And although Park Kwan-ho's team took away "Legend 2", in theory "Legend 2" should still belong to actoz.

Actoz was of course approving of others giving free upgrades to games that they had abandoned but had no taste for. That is to say, when they met Park Guanhao, a group of young and illiterate young people, Actoz secretly rejoiced.

Originally, this was a happy situation for everyone, but as Park Guanhao's team worked hard to prepare for the local national inland competition in November to impact the "Legend" currently being operated by actoz, something unexpected happened.

Actoz sent a letter to Wemade saying that because 'Legend 2' comes from the 'Legend' online game that Actoz is operating and is rooted in 'Legend', Park Guanhao's team has been working on the research and development of 'Legend 2' with actoz's salary before.

In fact, the full property rights of 'Legend 2' belong to actoz, and 'Legend 2' is prohibited from operating in any market where 'Legend' operates.

Actoz's letter is well-founded. Wemade will definitely lose even if it goes to court. Moreover, the danger of "forbidding Legend 2" from operating in any market where "Legend" operates" does not only mean that Wemade cannot be distributed locally.

'Legend 2', and even if Wemade takes 'Legend 2' to the European, American and Japanese markets where 'Legend' does not operate, in the future as long as 'Legend' follows up, 'Legend 2' will become an illegal operation and the server will have to be shut down.

This is equivalent to beating "Legend 2" to death with one blow. It also blinded Park Guanhao's team and forced them into a desperate situation.

Park Guanhao is twenty-seven years old this year. The average age of his team is only twenty-five. They are all a group of passionate young people who are technical nerds. They know nothing, and they all come from poor families and have no power or influence.

It is not easy to survive in Seoul. During the more than two years of working at Actoz, due to the mediocre response to "Legend", I received a miserable basic salary. In the four months since I founded Wemade, their money

They all have no way out, and each of them is so poor that their pockets are cleaner than their faces. Six of the dozen young people have been evicted by their landlords because they cannot pay the rent, water and electricity bills, and live in a dilapidated company building.

Park Guanhao also wanted to go there to attract investment, but when all the investors heard that it was a big hit like "Legend 2", they shook their heads and avoided it.

Which of these investors is not an old fox, and can’t they see that “Legend 2” contains stinky shit that Actoz’s “Legend” has not been exposed? Only crazy people would ask for trouble to invest in this online game that has no future in the first place.

Just a few days ago, Park Guanhao, who was desperate, returned to his original company in humiliation, trying to find a way out.

He bowed his head in front of Cui Xiong and begged to give Wemade a way out and give "Legend 2" some soil to survive.

In the end, actoz decided to be generous and asked Park Guanhao's team to take out 40% of Wemade's shares for free, and at the same time transfer the ownership of "Legend 2" to actoz, forming a 5:5 equity ratio.

This is equivalent to eating up half of the rights and interests of "Legend 2", and taking away 40% of Wemade's shares with nothing.

Park Guanhao brought the news back dejectedly. The company's employees were furious. However, the situation was stronger than others. Just when they were helplessly ready to give in, a call came to Wemade's office.

From the large chaebol Sanyu Group.

Jin Shengyu, the second company leader of the group, wants to see him!

This news shocked Park Guanhao. In his opinion, Jin Shengyu, the second son of the Sanyu Group, was a god-like existence that he needed to look up to.

Not to mention him, even actoz’s representative director Choi Woong could only stand and pour tea in front of Jin Shengyu!

What is he doing with me?

Could it be that this young man has nothing to do and wants to invest in some game companies to practice his skills?

Just thinking about it makes Pu Guanhao's blood boil, and everyone in the company is also very excited.

Last night, all employees held a meeting until late at night to clean the entire dilapidated building spotlessly. They asked the three employees, who are ugly but still young women, to wear short skirts to expose their thick legs tomorrow, and to collect them early this morning.

I spent all my money to buy two taels of good tea, watermelon, and grapes, and entertained the distinguished Mr. Jin Er.

At this time, Pu Guanhao looked at the road in front of him and waited expectantly and anxiously, like a prisoner facing the verdict of whether to be shot or acquitted.

The company's last bit of cash has been used to buy tea and fruits for entertaining distinguished guests. If they don't want to starve to death and wait for the miracle they are looking forward to, they can only mobilize all employees to go home and borrow money to tide over the difficulties together.

However, the borrowed money must be repaid, and actoz is stuck. If he does not give in and give up 40% of the shares and half of the rights to 'Legend 2', this game will not even be able to operate. How will he pay back the money and let the company

Survive?

But succumbing to actoz, Wemade desperately borrowed money to operate, and actoz could take away half of the profits of "Legend 2".

For the young Park Guanhao, this is simply a humiliation that will never be erased in his life!

Just thinking about it, Park Guanhao felt that the future was dark, with almost no light or hope.

Unless the second son of Sanyu Group invests in wemade!
