South Korea has a sandwich theory, mainly applied in the field of industrial economy, that is, China is below, South Korea is in the middle, Japan is above, this set of statements is very popular, and it is also accepted by many people, indicating that it is not pride, but their worries, because Japan can't catch up, and China is chasing them, so South Korea is in the middle of the sandwich, and the living environment is worrying.

For Jin Fanxiu personally, his feelings are not like this, China is the only one in the Internet field that can compete with the United States, he sits here, the markets of China and Japan are in the hands of this teenager opposite, there is no such thing as a sandwich.

Wen Xiaoguang saw that he still didn't speak, so he said to himself: "...... It's 2012, and only a small part of the world still has a blank market, and in the future, we will also have to face competition from products like WhatsApp, and for Chairman Kim, there is only one market in South Korea, so it is difficult to face external competition. ”

In a corner of their hearts, Jin Fanxiu and Wen Xiaoguang both hid some possibility.

"What does this mean, does Chairman Wen want to merge?" asked Kim Beom-so.

"If I just need funds, I don't lack money in my hands, and I should go through the procedures and processes......" Wen Xiaoguang felt that the greetings had been talked about a lot, and now it was time to get down to business, "I would be willing to invest in Kakao Talk, all of which are doing this line of nature because I know its difficulties and potential, so there is no problem with investment, as long as the price is reasonable, but I am also thinking that WeChat is based on the mainland, and the potential of more than one billion users can burst out of great value. The Korean market has to be separated, and I always feel a pity. ”

For Chinese, company merger is a new thing, because our market is big enough, as long as the company does well, the strength must be strong, and foreign enterprises to compete, at least in the amount of capital we are not afraid, so there is no need to merge, the entanglement of interests here is also annoying, idle will not do these things.

But in South Korea, the merger of companies and enterprises is not unusual, because the small size of the country makes it difficult for small companies to parry against foreign giants, in fact, those chaebols were born for these reasons, so the Park Chung-hee era supported several companies with the power of the whole country.

In the private sector, such practical reasons can also drive the merger of enterprises and enterprises.

For example, NHN is actually a merger of hangame, founded by Kim Fan-so, and naver, a search engine company.

Later, Kakao merged with Daum, South Korea's second-largest online search company, to form a new company with a market capitalization of $7 billion, Daum Kakao.

Both times it was such a choice, not because people were stupid, but because they had to do it as a last resort.

If it is not merged, how much money can a small company put on the company's account?

In the eyes of the Chinese, only $7 billion after the merger is still a small point. But in South Korea, it was possible to survive.

It is the Republic of Korea that has this gene, so Wen Xiaoguang mentioned this matter.

Jin Fanxiu maintained a gentlemanly and warm smile, and said politely: "Actually, I didn't expect President Wen to mention this, you also have a stake in WhatsApp, which is a bigger company, why would you choose to integrate into a market like South Korea?"

Wen Xiaoguang didn't hide it from him, "Caucasians have a sense of racial superiority over yellow people, I have a cousin, she is doing law in the United States, social software contains a lot of personal privacy, although I just want to do business, but if I want to use whatsapp to do something in the United States, I will cause trouble for myself, I don't want to take the initiative to see the stupidity of Caucasians, and I will be angry with myself when I look back." ”

The two people on the other side were slightly surprised, they spoke bluntly and boldly, which is different from their perception of the United States, mainlanders have no reverence for the first world, God is your God, labor and management do not know.

"I'm just offering another option, I don't think Kakao wants to be limited to the Korean market all the time, is Mr. Kim's wish to run a company in Seoul with tens of millions of users and a market value of billions of dollars? And the company will always pursue revenue growth, Kakao will be listed in the future, and the financial report will have to grow every quarter after listing, but what should I do when the domestic market is exhausted and revenue growth is sluggish? By then...... I'm not boasting or malicious, but does Mr. Jin really think that WeChat and Line are easy opponents to deal with at that time?"

Secretary Park raised his eyebrows, what kind of tone is this, tens of millions of users, and billions of market capitalizations are looked down upon?

Jin Fanxiu was also a little embarrassed, he was not a narrow-minded person, and he knew that Wen Xiaoguang was not deliberately showing off, but ...... In other people's concepts, those two numbers are really nothing.

Wen Xiaoguang doesn't care so much, if he really thinks it's offended, then he can only be sorry for accidentally driving you.

"It's a bit of a sudden, President Wen, before that I just want to get rid of you to look at my company and exchange some ideas. ”

"Okay, you think slowly. He picked up his glass and looked at Wen Liushu, "Eat." I'm here to work, you can just eat, eat your fill. ”

This was said in Mandarin, which the two Koreans couldn't understand.

Wen Liushu gave him a secret thumbs up under the table, "He has the demeanor of a great country." ”

The people of the country are arrogant, and they have been like this since ancient times.

After all, it was a guest, Wen Xiaoguang was not good at communicating in Chinese for too long, and he was not very polite, so he still talked to Jin Fanxiu, "However, I haven't heard how much money you need?"

"Oh," Kim put down his glass, "Kakao is a small and beautiful company, we won't ask for too much, maybe $15 million is enough." ”

"Fifteen million?" Wen Xiaoguang didn't remember how much money this guy had melted in the original time and space, but he vaguely felt that the goose factory seemed to give more than that, "In addition to money, do you need any other resources?"

Kim Fan-so said: "Of course it's good if there is. By the way, I have a question that is a bit presumptuous, the Korean market is so small, why would Chairman Wen be interested?"

Wen Xiaoguang smiled and thought to himself: You should always ask this question.

"I'm not interested there. He replied seriously, "I'm interested in you." ”

Huh?

Jin Fanxiu was stunned, and the secretary looked at him puzzled, wasn't he more interested in the beauty next to him?

"Chairman Kim, I didn't lie to you. For some reasons, Wechat in mainland China must be self-contained, although LINE also belongs to us, but the two companies will not have much intersection in business. But the other is true for neighboring countries outside of the mainland, and Line has plans to enter Taiwan Bend Province, Singapore, Thailand, and Indonesia, but I have never had the right people to actually do all this. ”

With a bang, Jin Fanxiu's chest seemed to be beaten by something.

He muttered, "If the two companies merge......"

Wen Xiaoguang's eyes shot out, "It's impossible for me to leave Beijin, so ...... Mr. Kim, you are the most suitable person. ”

That's true in his considerations, Zhang Lin, alas...... Although he basically met the standard, he always felt a little lacking in his heart, and the Jin Fanxiu in front of him, who had succeeded in entrepreneurship twice, was different, and he was also the father of mobile social software.

Only, he has this ambition.
