chapter 16
16 – This game is mine now (2)
“… How do you plan to set the acquisition price?”
“You don’t have to be nervous. I’m willing to pay for it.”
He grinned as he tapped the desk with his fingertips.
“The current market capitalization was 70 billion, right? It’s been quite a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of “
“Puffed rice… ! This is definitely a stock price evaluated based on our performance of Leonplay!!”
“Based on the inflated performance with all sorts of tricks.”
“… “
I must have really tried to get my full price.
It’s like a person without conscience.
Okay, let’s press some more.
“61% Of 50 billion. It is exactly the amount of bubbles, nothing more, nothing less, from the bubble-filled market cap.”
“You are crazy. Are you talking about bubbles with almost half of them now?”
“Hmm.”
Did I hit you too hard? The backlash is stronger than expected.
If this is the case, the only option is to take a special prescription.
I tapped the papers scattered on the desk.
“I am giving you a chance now.”
“What is that… “
“Large-scale accounting and tax audits will soon be conducted for LeonPlay.”
“… !”
“What will happen when that time comes?”
Choi Jae-young’s face was white as if the blood had evaporated, and her clenched fists were shaking.
I let out a grim smile and parted my lips.
“Choi Jae-young will be sold all over the country as an ugly economic criminal and his face will be branded as an embezzler. Is that all? A company called Leonplay will be torn apart and turned into a meal for hyenas.”
“… “
“Is it just you? Your family members who have been inside directors, shareholders, and participated in insider trading and embezzlement. I promise to arrest you for damages and company law violations without exception.”
“Please stop… “
“Ah! So, you have to pay back all the unfair profits you’ve been doing so far, right? But you, already tattered and fooling around with accounting documents, won’t have the cash to return.”
“Stop… “
“Choi Jae-young, all property in your name will be confiscated. What will happen to your only daughter then?”
“Shut up!!!!!!”
Bang-!
Choi Jae-young, who had been quiet, slammed the desk and let out a thunderous roar.
Anyway, it seems that the reverse factor has been properly dealt with.
Is it time to reap the whip and give the carrots?
“You are not a vessel capable of handling all these steps. But Tae-woong and I can do it.”
I raised the corner of my mouth.
“Leave all this trouble on me.”
I met the gaze of Choi Jae-young, who was glaring at me as if he were going to kill me.
“40 Billion will be seed money for your new start.”
****
The acquisition of Leonplay proceeded smoothly.
With the signing of the acquisition contract through Taewoong’s legal team, all rights transfer and payment were completed.
Using this opportunity, the rats who had been eating at the company for a while were neatly wiped out. Of course, the operating department has changed.
“I’m running out of gin… “
Recovering the integrity of Leon Play took more time and money than expected.
The biggest problem was the absence of a proper manager.
Therefore, a professional manager connected through Chairman Kim Young-hoon was inaugurated as the CEO.
As expected, Taewoong Group has a surprisingly wide talent pool.
That’s all.
A large-scale recruitment was carried out in departments that needed supplementation, and departments with excessive personnel were reduced.
After that, team leaders from all departments were gathered and a meeting was held about the future direction of Epic of Seven.
My goal is clear. The splendid revival of Epic of Seven.
All strategies were re-established for only one proposition.
Reviving a game whose perception has already been smashed is a lot more troublesome than I thought.
If the possibility was slim and normal, I wouldn’t have even tried it.
But the case of Epic of Seven is different.
There is no mobile game that can surpass Epic of Seven if it competes solely on game elements.
I bet everything on it.
I just need to improve my awareness.
And what should be done first to improve awareness?
“It’s noise marketing.”
Noise Marketing.
It refers to a marketing method that creates unnecessary noise to raise awareness.
Now is the time to put the puzzle together.

Seoha.
It is my real name and also a nickname used in the community.
Today, as usual, I sat down and turned on my computer.
“There are so many dead here too.”
Epic of Seven Gallery.
This place, like my hometown, was gradually dying.
In fact, it’s not that surprising. I’d be surprised if what I’ve endured so far is rather surprising.
The game is ruined, so how can the game’s community survive?
I just pressed refresh in a row with a sad mind and waited for the newly updated article.
“Even potato oppa doesn’t come in at all… “
Hot potatoes.
He is the ghost of the Epic of Seven Gallery and someone he has recently become very close to.
I was really surprised at the last charity auction.
Come to think of it, is the stake in Unilabs you bought at that time okay?
It looks like it will be delisted soon…
“What is potato brother doing?”
The last post before the hot potato disappeared.
Many users left their opinions on the post asking if Epic of Seven is going to collapse soon.
And after that article, the hot potato disappeared.
I didn’t receive any contact, and I couldn’t leave the game nor the gallery. Have you really fallen out of love with the game?
It was a car that I repeatedly pressed refresh just in case.
[Title] (By: Hot Potato)
This game is mine now.
“Eh?”
Is this game mine now? It was a pretty nonsensical title.
A nickname I haven’t seen in a long time, I clicked on the post with a happy heart.

Leonplay, developer of Epic of Seven.
I took over
I took over because I was disgusted with the operation like a beggar.
The photos attached above are the merger and acquisition contract and stock certificate.

This is a report on the large amount of Leon Play that was submitted to the Financial Supervisory Service.
There will be separate announcements on the official cafe and homepage, but I wrote a post in advance for my precious comrades.
Honestly, those who remain here will know.
What’s the reason we stayed here despite the idiot management? It’s because the game is fun.
I put my life into this game?
So I made up my mind and tried to save it.
Please refer to it because we are going to overthrow the existing BM (business model), starting with the billing structure.
Heavy users will also take care of it, so don’t worry hahahaha
Ah!
I’ll give you a spoiler.
A contest will be held soon under the theme of EOS under the auspices of Leonplay.
Since the total prize money is worth 400 million won, those who will make money go to Eocero Drew and Drew~
Now then
“… Ehehehehe!!!???”
What kind of crazy is this?
You took over the game company because you didn’t like the game?
I let go of my mind at the contents of the main text far beyond my imagination.
Diring! Tring!
When the ringing cell phone was turned on, the Eose chat room also went into chaos.
[Byuli Barry: Guys, emergency!!! Did you see what Potato posted?]
[Byuli Barry: This crazy bastard took over Leonplay hahahahaha]

[Seoha: Huh uh uh…… What is this?]
[Morning Star = 3: What is it?? How to acquire Leonplay???]
[Byuli Barry: @Hey Hot Potato!!!!!! It’s a potato!!!!!!]
[HULK: Is it true? hahahaha]
[I love you: hahahahaha]
[Byuli Barry: hahahaha]
[Cha Tae-Hoon: ㅁㅋ Really?
[Eose God Game: What kind of mobile game contest prize money is 400 million? hahahaha]
There was a real uproar.
The user didn’t like the game, so he took over the entire game company?
This is literally an unprecedented situation.
In addition, if you think about the ripple effect of hot potatoes, this incident will spread in all directions.
Comments were also burning in real time.

Is the rice cake written off? ? Finally… ?
It was the moment when a super-sized rice cake that had never been heard or seen was born at the Eose Gallery, which had been stagnant.
