US dollar, this price is just right. In the previous life, The9 spent us dollar plus 30% of the revenue to get the Mainland China agency rights. As a result, they recovered all costs within 3 months and achieved profitability. The costs here included the us dollar agency fee, game localization, servers, promotion, channels, etc. They made a profit of 600 million within a year.
This was achieved even when The9 lacked funds for promotion, had insufficient servers, and few points of sale for game cards, which shows the game's ability to generate revenue.
Now that I have some capital, bringing this game to China and doing whatever I want with it won't be worse than what those people at The9 did, right? Doubling the profit wouldn't be excessive, right?
Lin Hao had calculated the us dollar price precisely. If he offered us dollar, Webzen probably wouldn't agree and would likely use this price to find The9, leading to a bidding war. us dollar is different. Converted to Korean Won, it's 26,498,200,000.0000, which is substantial enough to make the two founders in front of him tempted. One must know that from last year until now, Miracle MU hasn't made that much money.
Furthermore, Lin Hao knew that The9 absolutely could not afford us dollar. To raise the agency fee this time, Zhu Jun even mortgaged his house. So, he wasn't afraid of Webzen taking this price to The9.
As expected, Li Junxiu and Kim Tae-woo's eyes lit up when they heard us dollar. Kim Tae-woo immediately wanted to agree, but Li Junxiu stopped him with a look.
"Mr. Lin, thank you for your optimism regarding Miracle MU. However, Miracle MU is our hard work, and now we have to sell it, we need to consider it carefully."
Li Junxiu had a very reluctant expression, which made Lin Hao want to laugh.
"Of course. However, my time is limited. I will be leaving Seoul in a few days. I think 3 days should be enough time for the two of you to consider carefully. Miracle MU doesn't have much market left in South Korea. The two of you can completely take the us dollar and develop a more popular game, or use the money to enjoy life. The two of you should think carefully, this opportunity is only once."
After Lin Hao finished speaking, he prepared to leave with his people. Li Junxiu said that a banquet had been arranged for noon.
"President Li, it's better to drink this wine after we sign the contract."
Lin Hao politely declined Li Junxiu's offer. Drinking with the two of them was not as good as taking Shen Yuxuan and Yang Qian'er to find a place to drink.
"Haha, I also hope to cooperate with Mr. Lin. We will give you a reply as soon as possible and won't keep Mr. Lin waiting."
After the two shook hands, Lin Hao and his group got into the car and left.
"Why didn't you agree to him just now? That's us dollar. As he said, we can completely invest this money in a new game."
Kim Tae-woo saw Lin Hao leave and eagerly asked Li Junxiu.
"No need to rush, don't we still have 3 days? We can talk to The9 again, maybe they will offer a higher price."
.....
Lin Hao's group didn't go back to the hotel. Since they had finally come to Seoul, they naturally wanted to experience the charm of Seoul. However, it was noon now, and Seoul's nightlife was still early.
Finding a seemingly good barbecue restaurant, everyone walked in. It was lunch time, and many people were already dining. Seeing Lin Hao and his group enter the restaurant, with Lin Hao in the middle looking like a Korean Oppa, surrounded by bodyguards and two beautiful women, everyone thought he was the son of some chaebol.
The waiter in the restaurant respectfully came forward and led Lin Hao and his group to a private room.
"Boss, what do you want to eat?" Shen Yuxuan asked, holding the menu handed over by the waiter.
"Whatever, you order. There's not much good food in South Korea anyway," Lin Hao said indifferently.
Shen Yuxuan was very enthusiastic and ordered the dishes after asking everyone else.
Soon, what Shen Yuxuan ordered came up. The main dish was barbecue, and there were many other things, such as kimchi, samgyetang, bibimbap, cold noodles, fried chicken, and so on.
Shen Yuxuan and Yang Qian'er were extremely excited and took the initiative to do the grilling. While grilling the meat, their mouths were full, and they kept eating.
Although Lin Hao didn't really like South Korea, he had to admit that the barbecue tasted really good, and the samgyetang was also particularly delicious.
"Lin Shao, I'll toast you," Yang Qian'er said, raising her glass towards Lin Hao.
Seeing Yang Qian'er holding a glass, Lin Hao felt a little scared. He had seen her drinking capacity in the Island Nation. None of the big men were her match.
"Lin Shao, don't worry, this is Korean soju, the alcohol content is only 18°-22°," Yang Qian'er said teasingly, noticing Lin Hao's expression.
"Uh, well, I'm not scared, it's just that as a girl, you should drink less. Let's skip this glass," Lin Hao said with an awkward smile, and then clinked glasses with Yang Qian'er.
Korean soju did have a low alcohol content, but it was easy to get drunk if you drank too much. Except for the 4 bodyguards, everyone else tasted the Korean soju.
The meal took 2 hours. In the afternoon, Lin Hao took everyone to Myeongdong in Seoul.
Myeongdong is one of Seoul's most popular shopping and entertainment areas, with many famous shopping centers, restaurants, cafes, and night markets.
"If anyone likes anything, or wants to bring something back for their family, I'm paying today. You've all worked hard during this time, so don't be shy."
"Wow, thank you Lin Shao."
"Lin Shao, long live!"
"I love you to death."
"Thank you, Boss."
Upon hearing Lin Hao's words, the group became extremely excited, especially the two girls, Shen Yuxuan and Yang Qian'er, who excitedly ran directly into a nearby store.
Lin Hao just smiled slightly. He had won us dollar, and the others had come with him, so they couldn't go back empty-handed. Spending a little money could elevate his image, so why not?
Although the others were not as excited as the two girls, their happiness was evident, and they also followed along to look at things.
Seoul, as the capital of South Korea and one of the Four Asian Tigers of this era, had already entered the ranks of international metropolises and was naturally very prosperous, with a dazzling array of goods.
After shopping for an afternoon, Lin Hao himself also bought a lot of things, preparing to bring them back for Lin Fugui, Zheng Wanrong, and Dong Mengxue.
Although Lin Hao was treating, everyone didn't buy too much and were very sensible. They were all adults and knew what they were doing. Those who didn't have that sense wouldn't have come abroad with Lin Hao.
...
In the evening, in the largest and hottest bar in Seoul's Gangnam District, after Lin Hao felt bored in the evening, Jin Soo-ah took him here.
Shen Yuxuan had been following Lin Hao's side. This was her first time in a bar or nightclub. The others were similar. Huaian didn't have many entertainment venues, at most there was a dance hall.
