Chapter 4 Kakao
People often say: full of warmth and desire.
Dongjiu thinks so, and now it's better to solve the problem of food and clothing first.
Kakao, later generations said that it was the Korean version of WeChat. But in fact, Kakao was launched in 2010, and Penguin's WeChat was launched in 2011. Then, in turn, after 2012, it acquired more than 10% of Kakao's shares and became a shareholder (not the largest shareholder). It's so mysterious, the copycat goods bite the genuine goods. This is not popular science, just talking about this point in time of Kakao.
The current KaKao is only in the initial stage, and it has not been officially put into operation at all, so nothing can be found through the Internet. There is only information on the business license registered as a sole proprietorship of Jin Fanxiu.
Kakao can't find anything, this Jin Fanxiu is a popular figure.
In 1990, he completed a bachelor's degree in technology from Seoul National University, and then spent two years continuing his studies in electronic information. The rhythm of Seoul's high-achieving students. After graduating, he learned from Samsung Group and accumulated capital at the same time, and then developed and founded an Internet café by himself, and finally became Hangame online game company. In 2001, he merged with naver, known as "Baidu of Korea", to form a new company, NHN, and served as CEO himself. In 2007, he sold his shares and cashed out nearly one billion US dollars, and moved to the United States with his family to settle down and raise flowers and grass. The reason for leaving NHN was that "I lived too comfortably and lost the passion for fighting on the battlefield".
Full of the protagonist template, a pure civilian student, started an Internet café, and finally had a net worth of one billion dollars, and said chicly: Brother is tired, it's too unchallenging, let's not play!
Don't pretend to be B, pretend to be B and be struck by lightning. Sure enough, after Kim Fan-so came to the United States, he injected his money into a start-up incubator called IWILAB in Mountain View, California, which served Korean entrepreneurs and became an angel investor. However, when encountering the subprime mortgage financial crisis that is rare in a century in the United States, he lost most of his capital, and finally had to pull the IWILAB team back to South Korea to start a second business.
"Sir, our company doesn't seem to have a recruitment announcement. Why did you apply? "The current Kakao is just a grass-roots team of more than 30 employees, and you can meet Jin Fanxiu by handing in a resume.
"Actually, you're interviewing me, aren't you? Opportunities are self-created. "Dongjiu analyzes that Boss Jin is a person who is used to challenge Diren, so he is special when he speaks.
Jin Fanxiu was really interested in Dongjiu's response. "Hehe, young people are kind of interesting. Why do you think I'm going to hire you? ”
"With this."
Dong Kowloon handed over the admission documents for the master's degree in computer science at Seoul National University, and he came to South Korea four months ago to pass the language proficiency test. Although I have not yet officially enrolled in Seoul National University, I have all the documents and will only wait for the beginning of March to start the semester.
Why do Koreans pay so much attention to academic background? It's not just because of knowledge. In fact, the textbooks of each university are not much different, and the things learned are not much different. The key is the so-called interpersonal relationship, which is a small country and most of the elite are crammed into only one city, Seoul. You can meet alumni and seniors everywhere, and it is natural to form gangs. It's not as vast as Huaxia, and after graduation, they go their separate ways.
"Oh~~ The back of the same school is still the computer department of the professional counterpart. But that's not enough. "Kim Fan-so is actually ready to hire Dongjiu, but he just feels interesting and continues to play for a while. He is a real naughty boy, and he does a lot of things like playing online games with his wife and children.
Dong Jiu took out another thing. That's his passport.
"Huaxia? Why do you think such an identity would be an advantage? "Jin Fanxiu is really interested now.
"I have studied the experience of my predecessors, and your ambition is not something that can be restrained by small Korea. South Korea has a population of only 50 million, and even if the entire market is accounted for, Kakao only has 50 million users. Outward development is an inevitable choice. Neighbor Huaxia is the biggest market right now, isn't it? "Dong Jiucai doesn't care what kind of anti-heaven bull you are, you still don't coax when you fool around.
"Hahaha, it seems that you have a lot of confidence in Kakao." Dongjiu's sycophants made Jin Fanxiu very comfortable and very happy.
But Dong Jiu turned his head and slapped him, "No, I'm not optimistic about Kakao, but the popularity of smartphones." In the future, everyone will be using smartphones. This type of chat app will always be launched, and it could be kakao, whatsapp, or even line from your old employer, NHN. I only came to Kakao because it was the place where I started from the lowest and gave me the most opportunities. "Dong Jiu is not just to be able to apply, he also has to fight for a higher position. In the face of a bull like Boss Jin, blindly patting on the back has no good results.
"But you're still studying and can't work full-time, so I'm afraid we don't have a suitable part-time position right now."
"Didn't Senior Kim skip class when he was in school? You're self-made, and your tuition is earned part-time. Dong Kowloon made up a flattering word in due course.
"Well, you go to Li Shuoyou and ask him to arrange a job for you." Jin Fanxiu won't care about the rest of the details, he is the big boss!
Lee Seok-woo is also a graduate of Seoul National University. Not long after graduation, he hugged Kim Fan-so's thigh and became one of the founders of Kakao, and is now the technical director. How could such a second-in-command, who relied on his school background, refuse Dong-kow, who is also a master's degree from Seoul National University? What's more, Dongjiu is a foreigner and will not pose any threat to him. Yes, South Korea is such an xenophobic country that there will never be expatriates at the top of the company.
In this way, Dongjiu became the assistant of Kakao's second-in-command Lee Seok-woo. I'm afraid it won't take long to get a clear picture of Kakao's situation.
Dong Jiu also wanted to look up to the sky and laugh, pretending to say "so-easy!" "But think about the example of Jin Fanxiu's pretending to be b being struck by lightning, forget it, low-key and low-key.
"East Kowloon OPPA, why are you leaving NB2?" Every night I come to the nightclub to eat, and the little girl at the bar is so enthusiastic. Today, it's a cold face, and the regular chicken leg meal is gone.
Dongjiu is desperate to enter Kakao, not only because of the investigation, but also because he wants to change jobs. Being a thug in a nightclub is not a long-term solution. Or maybe you want to close the gap with the goddess in your heart.
"I'm an international student at Seoul National University, so I'm afraid you don't know yet. If you don't leave now, you still have to leave when school starts. "For the thoughts of the little girl at the bar, how can Dong Jiu not understand? The chicken thighs that people give every day are real.
"That. That me. "The bar girl doesn't look like a nightclub employee at all, and she's very shy at the moment.
It's like cutting through the mess with a quick knife and drawing a clear line with Tianxian Juli; Treat the little girl at the bar, as simple and direct as Dongjiu. "You're a good girl, but Seoul isn't for you. Go home, get married, have children, and live in peace. ”
"Are you going back to being a farmer?" In fact, the income of farmers in South Korea is really not low. It's just that like a besieged city, Seoul attracts half of South Korea's population. The people on the outside want to come in, and the people on the inside want to get out.
"Let's go to Jeju Island. Starting this year, Jeju Province has begun to implement a foreign investment immigration policy, and Jeju Island will attract many local tyrants to come to retire. The Chinese Congress is the main force, you know a little Chinese Chinese, even being a tour guide is better than being a bartender in NB2. ”
Dongjiu can only talk about this, other people's lives, what qualifications do you have to say more. After settling the salary, Dong Kowloon ended his three-month career as a double-flower red stick beater.
