In fact, if you want to say who started earlier in IM software, then Wen Xiaoguang and the others have to stand behind, and Jin Fanxiu of kakaotalk is the one with a good eye.

But this also reflects what is the combination of national destiny and personal destiny, the South Korean market is too small, the overall population of more than 50 million people, Fei Lao Da won 80%, enough to be awesome, and then go abroad to see:, WeChat is close to 200 million!

Even if the speed lags behind, but the size is big, there is no way, two fighters with different weight classes just can't stand in the same ring.

At this time, you can't say that Wen Xiaoguang must be more powerful than Jin Fanxiu, this guy also started his business from the earliest batch of the Internet, and the Hangame he founded was also very successful.

It can only be said that Wen Xiaoguang and Erma were luckier than him, and they were not reincarnated on that peninsula.

Kakao Talk plans to raise about $25 million at the beginning of the year, which is a company that was founded earlier than WeChat, but only that number. 25 million, now any single investment institution and Wen Xiaoguang is higher than this number, let alone the entire round of financing combined.

Even Meituan took $50 million last year.

Having said that, if you focus on South Korea, you will find that Kim Fan-so is really amazing, and there may be some gaps between him and Wen Xiaoguang's achievements, but if Wen Xiaoguang is placed in South Korea, he may not be able to do what Kim Fan-so did.

This man is also a real entrepreneurial hero in South Korea.

If you understand the economy of South Korea, you will know that this country is completely under the control of the chaebol, and the power and wealth are monopolized by the conglomerates controlled by the chaebol family, and Samsung is a typical example.

In this environment, Jin Fanxiu can also create a new Internet company and become a leader in the technology industry, which is really a rare feat.

To survive among large companies, Jin Fanxiu relies on wildness and diligence, and when it comes to one version, Kakaotalk can update 19 versions, which is amazing.

This middle-aged man in his 40s is one of the few self-made billionaires in South Korea other than the chaebol.

Wen Xiaoguang is a prophet, but this one really understands mobile application software. Therefore, he has basic respect for Jin Fanxiu, and his advantages are given by the vast number of working people, and since he has the advantage, he should have more grace.

So when the name Kim Beom-so did appear, Mr. Wen agreed with the administrative staff in the office to give him a personal phone number, so that the Republic of Korea's entrepreneurial hero could contact him directly.

As for what was discussed...... That is naturally respect to respect, business to business.

Money is not an issue, the next $7 billion company has investment value, the question is how much that one is willing to pay.

In fact, before this, Sarah, who is not a capital, has already gone to South Korea to do research and collect information about Kakaotalk, a company that has grown rapidly in South Korea, and has creatively built mobile applications as a platform to sell a lot of high-profit virtual products.

It's just that competitors like NHN and other Internet companies won't let them go easily.

In addition, the gene of the Internet company that needed to burn money in the early days did not change, which finally prompted him to open his eyes to see the world and call Wen Xiaoguang.

Kim Fan Xiu can only be regarded as average, with the typical characteristics of Korean people with small eyes, a beard, and a thin figure, if it is not worth hundreds of millions of dollars, most women will think that this is a dick with no male aura at all.

Of course, if people have money now, then don't say anything.

Jin Fanxiu is also understanding Wen Xiaoguang, who started his business in June 2010, a little later than him, and the entrepreneurial project is almost the same, and Jin Fanxiu can fully understand it.

But there are two things he doesn't understand, one is that Weituo actually defeated the goose factory and has an advantage in the social field, and the other is that this guy ...... You're too young, aren't you......

"Secretary Park, don't you have any more information? ”

The young female secretary twisted her hips when she walked, "The reports in both Korean and English are here...... There are also many Chinese ones, and I am asking someone to translate. ”

"How did he do it? Jin Fanxiu rubbed his head, and there was a hint of helplessness, "Although this company is later than us, its valuation has exceeded 10 billion, and when he was doing LINE in Japan, we were also exploring the market, but it's a pity." ”

It's a pity that the quality of the product is not obvious if you want to talk about the gap.

But they had no choice but to send 20 people and a little money to Tokyo, because the headquarters was poor. However, Weituo can recruit hundreds of high-paid talents who understand the habits and needs of local people, support Zhang Lin's operating funds of 300 million yuan, and pay high bonuses to motivate employees.

And they only have the method of spiritual encouragement and the method of future blueprint.

Those advertisers didn't like to pay attention to Kakao Talk, wasted my time, and negotiated a small contract for half a day. Line is different, a few months ago, Zhang Lin was criticized by Wen Xiaoguang for the scale of action is too small, reluctant to spend money, what to do, this is the initial stage to seize the market.

When the action is not big, what kind of business do you do, go home and plant sweet potatoes!

Therefore, in 2012, Kakaotalk not only did not dare to look to the mainland, but even Japan was also their request, so they could only defend South Korea and manage the territory they had already occupied.

Jin Fanxiu couldn't tell clearly that there was jealousy and envy in his heart, and a sigh contained a lot of emotions. That's fate.

"That person ......" The secretary didn't know before, it turned out that such an entrepreneurial elite was born on the mainland, "What did you say on the phone?"

Kim Fan-so was calm about the content of the call, "It sounds like a person with a good attitude and good dealings, but he said that he is in Japan now, not in China." ”

"Are you going to come over, President?"

"Of course. ”

"Well, I'll help you arrange your flight and hotel. In addition, I will give you more detailed information as soon as possible. ”

"Be quick. ”

"Yes. ”

In this way, the secretary can't sleep at night, the work is like this, the leader has to see tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow has to see that person, and there is only this night in time.

Because she didn't know Chinese, she could only ask others, and when she took the complete information, she couldn't help but doubt its authenticity, and when she graduated from high school, she founded a business and sold it for $1 billion a year later!

It was unthinkable to her, and while she understood the wireless expansiveness of the Internet beyond physical boundaries, she didn't understand how wonderful and addictive that infinite expansion could be with a population of 1.4 billion.

So the figure of $1 billion shocked her.

After that, it developed WeChat, and now the valuation of Weituo Technology has exceeded 10 billion US dollars, which is considered to be the fourth largest Internet company in the mainland, and Wen Xiaoguang's personal net worth has easily exceeded 6 billion US dollars, and then this story also tells you that he is 22 years old this year.

Not to mention Jin Fanxiu, even she herself is full of curiosity about this visit.
