77. Apocalypse People(2)
An indie game company chosen by Chairman Jin-Sung Yoo.
Apocalypse People!
Actually, it hasn’t been a big topic of discussion until now.
Chairman Yoo Jin-seong is the owner of a huge game company called Nepple, and although it is a great refusal, the general public, especially gamers, did not care much.
These days, it is known that they do not participate in management well.
However, the mood changed in the next part.
[The only game selected by producer Yoo Tae-yeon. Apocalypse Police!]
The industry and community were excited.
-Taeyeon hyung chose you? What? what game is it
– U PD-nim of an indie game… … ?
– No, what kind of game is it?
* * *
When I woke up, I was a star.
Jeong Jeong-hwan had been feeling that fact deeply lately.
[Representative Jeong. What is it, what kind of magic did you use to catch CEO Yoo Tae-yeon’s eyes?]
[How did you make CEO Taeyeon Yoo fall for you because you made such an amazing game? huh?]
[Can I visit the company? Let’s have some coffee together!]
A small community cafe.
People suddenly flock to the company-only community created to save on website maintenance costs.
-This company is the company that made the game that CEO Yoo Tae-yeon shot, right?
-Apocalypse polis. I’m really looking forward to it!
The number of members, which were only a few dozen, grew to thousands overnight.
Is that all?
A short teaser video posted on the official Mutube account for promotional purposes soared from 45 views to 100,000. The comments were only from company employees and acquaintances, but there were hundreds of excellent comments.
This situation is currently in progress.
“CEO. What the hell is this?”
“Suddenly, my acquaintances are asking me if I don’t go to Apocalypse People and how did I find out about CEO Yoo Tae-yeon… … .”
The same goes for the staff not being alert.
“Especially my acquaintances in the industry were upset. Are you going to hit the jackpot now? … .”
It doesn’t make sense, but it was the ripple effect that the name Yoo Tae-yeon brought.
This situation happened as soon as the article that he paid attention and pointed out was published.
Representative Jung-hwan Jeong swallowed his saliva as he recalled the handsome man with a cold atmosphere.
‘He’s a person who has a lot more influence than I thought.’
* * *
After a while.
Jeong Jeong-hwan visited the headquarters of Neckple Pangyo.
The person who answered the phone and came to meet me was a tall, well-styled and beautiful woman who reminded me of a beautiful model.
“CEO Jung-hwan Jeong, right? I’m Lee Mi-yeon, CEO Tae-yeon Yoo’s exclusive secretary. From now on, I will guide you.”
I can feel the elegance in the quiet tone.
‘Amazing beauty!’
Wow, a beauty like this existed in real life!
Jeong Jeong-hwan, still a bachelor, followed her like a robot while being extremely nervous.
The destination was the office on the top floor of the office building.
She opens the door first and enters.
“CEO. CEO Jung-hwan Jeong is here.”
Soon the door opened, and I met Yoo Tae-yeon, the man who was working at a luxurious wooden table with the sun behind me.
Taeyeon smiled and greeted me.
“Thank you for visiting.”
‘I’m nervous.’
There is more tension than when we first met.
The man in front of his eyes, whom he did not know. It was because he learned the true status of Yoo Tae-yeon.
The mere mention of this man brought the small company a ton of attention. Even in paid economic magazines that you can subscribe to, you have to give money to subscribe, the interviews continue to pour out. It is suddenly being discussed a lot in the stock community.
I finally found out.
A man named Yoo Tae-yeon describes himself, no… … The fact that depending on how you treat Apocalypse Police, your life may bloom or you may abandon it.
Today was the place where that was decided.
“Don’t be too nervous. It’s to the point where everyone who sees it stiffens.”
“Ah, yes, yes… … .”
“You’re choking from the neck. My lips are dry.”
‘It’s okay… … .’
But I feel like I have to do as I am told!
He took a quick drink of the Ahh in front of him and moistened his throat and lips with his tongue.
Then straighten your back and take a firm posture like a private soldier.
Seeing Jung-hwan like that, Tae-yeon was about to say something.
He realized that it was useless to say more.
In fact, all Jung-hwan’s attention was now focused on his game and the company’s future.
“Wouldn’t it be better to be straightforward?”
“yes! please. I can’t hear anything else you say now.”
The media is buzzing, but… … In fact, the company was in crisis every day.
Funds have already run out, and he is barely managing his company by taking out a loan using his house as collateral.
I used money up to the 2nd financial sector, and it was not enough, so I was in a situation where I pulled out as much money as possible to my parents and acquaintances.
‘I need money.’
The investment received from Chairman Yoo Jin-seong has long since melted away.
If you could give money, you could even give your soul.
As is known, it was not a situation where a rosy future was being drawn.
“The most important thing to me right now is whether the investment is approved!”
“All right. Then I’ll tell you right away.”
gulp.
This moment is more tense and blood-curdling than ever.
“We plan to invest a total of 3 billion won. When the contract is written today, I will deposit the first investment of 1 billion immediately.”
‘done!’
An exhilarating moment!
Representative Jung-hwan Jeong clenched his fists.
‘If that money… … I can last two years!’
I can hire a few people and pay all the overdue salaries.
‘I can finally take my paycheck!’
The cost of living was drying up, and I was worried about making ends meet. Replenish food, pay rent and management fees, and… … .
“however… … .”
“yes?”
what? Anything left?
Please come now and ask for other conditions… … .?
The moment the blood dries again.
“That game. Would it be possible to make it alone with 3 billion, launch, and even maintain it?”
“… … yes?”
“Is it a single package game?”
“Yeah, but… … .”
“Are you sure you can secure billions in revenue as it is now?”
“Yeah… … .”
I was speechless.
If it was the other opponent, I would have bluffed it, but… … The man in front of me was the most talented game developer in Korea and the CEO of a large company.
He was not someone like himself that could be fooled by bluffing.
‘I’m not asking because I don’t know. Those eyes… … .’

Mouth is dry.
With trembling hands, he picked up an Ahh cup and drank it all.
I try to think it through my throat, but nothing comes to mind. Rather, it gradually fades to white.
“Whoa.”
Jung-hwan decided to be honest.
“Apocalypse polis… … It’s not a game made with the goal of making huge sales like that. It started with making the game I wanted to make based on the original work I love.”
“… … .”
“So I’ll raise it to some extent. It’s hard to give a definitive answer, but I can tell you this one thing for sure.”
he said with a serious look.
“I am confident that you will never regret your investment.”
Taeyeon, who had been listening quietly, asked back.
“I’m expecting more than 10 billion in sales?”
“yes? that, that… … .!”
The equilibrium is broken.
Taeyeon smiled at CEO Jung-hwan Jeong who was flustered and flustered.
“How about this?”
“yes? which… … .”
“Why don’t you move the studio to Nepple’s headquarters? To Gangnam.”
“Go, Gangnam?”
“Neckple manages games that are already in service at its headquarters in Pangyo, and new games under development are managed at its office in Gangnam.”
Taeyeon said calmly.
“It means to become a member of our Neckple group.”
“ah… … !”
“Whatever you are doing, let’s develop it properly. Reinforcing the planning, upgrading the graphics and system quality… … .”
“… … .”
“The game needs to be an AA-level game to see the light of day. It’s a shame to stay on an indie scale. It’s a game with so much potential and potential.”
I feel like I’ve been hit in the head with a hammer.
‘To be able to acknowledge our game this much… … .’
This is the first time.
Everyone I’ve met so far either encourages me to do well or laughs inwardly. I didn’t even give a sincere compliment.
‘Will you be?’
‘Is that possible?’
‘Are you satisfied with that?’
But for the first time, I heard a lot of compliments.
Even the person who said that was the most famous and skillful game developer in Korea.
Now, even his voice trembled, he asked with difficulty.
“I, that… … .”
“Please speak comfortably.”
“I-I don’t know that well… … If it’s a AA game, how big exactly are you talking about?”
“It is a term that is not commonly used. You mean a game that usually makes aaa level games with a minimum of 20 billion to 100 billion won?”
“yes.”
“A grade is slightly inferior to that, but I think you can think of it as a game that clearly has a major scent. It’s a bit of a vague distinction.”
“… … .”
“To put it simply, it means that we invest more than 10 billion won in development with the latest version of Epic’s engine, and support production with at least 80 people.”
one two… … .
Count the numbers inwardly.
It must have been a bug, so it stopped.
only after counting to five
“omg!”
finally it works
“Bae, bae, 10 billion… … .!”
He waved his hand quickly.
“No, no! I’ve never made a game like that!”
“You can learn. I will teach you.”
Another bug hit.
“Dae, the representative sent me… … ?”
“If you don’t like it, just advice from afar… … .”
“Oh no! What are you talking about? Of course it’s good! very good! All, just… … .”
His eyes are getting more and more red.
“I can’t believe it… … big… … !”
In the end, tears poured out.
Taeyeon looked at the crying man with a smile.
After a while, he spoke again.
“really… … Do you really rate our game that highly?”
“Otherwise, why would you make this suggestion?”
“I can’t believe it… … .”
“Didn’t you have a lot of debt to cover development costs and company maintenance costs? Pay it all off first. About how much?”
“Around 200 million… … .”
“Pay it all… … Where do you live now?”
“I live in a studio on the side of Wangsimni.”
“Let’s move to the newest officetel in front of Gangnam Station. It’s close to work and it’s nice.”
“omg!”
“I have a lot of work to do… … At least commute time should be a little free and comfortable.”
Tears well up in my big eyes again.
“I will prepare a studio for you in the Gangnam office building right away, so please move as soon as possible. Mr. Miyeon?”
The door burst open and a beautiful secretary appeared.
“yes. CEO. Please speak.”
“Apocalypse People will be part of our Neple Group starting today. The studio will be moved to Gangnam, but please take care of Miyeon-ssi.”
Secretary Lee Mi-yeon smiled at CEO Jung-hwan Jeong.
“yes. I will.”
Right after, she brought the contract and set it up even though she didn’t give any instructions.
‘It was already prepared.’
This is not to say that it was not an impromptu offer.
‘He was really recognizing me and our game!’
It was a preparation that could not have come out without that.
Taeyeon said as they signed the contract and shook hands.
“Welcome to the Nepple family.”
Yoo Taeyeon.
This is the moment when the legend of the golden eye begins.
