Chapter 225: Negotiation and Cooperation
The two little girls were playing around in bed, and soon returned to their previous good relationship.
In the other room, Lin Yi was chatting with Bae Joo-hyun on K, and also told her that his next work might be very busy, and he would have little time to spend with her.
Although Bae Joo-hyun also expressed her understanding, she still had some small opinions, and she was in a better mood when Lin promised her to take her out to play after finishing work.
The next day, Lin Yi came to Kakao early, and not long after he arrived at the company, Tencent's team arrived to negotiate this time.
Lin Yi took the initiative to greet him at the door of the company, and after seeing the comer, he took the initiative to say in Chinese:
"Mr. Li, long time no see."
"Lin Dong, long time no see."
It is not the first time that Lin Yi has dealt with the vice president of Tencent named Li Qiang, and the last financing of KaKao was an investment agreement signed on behalf of Tencent.
After the two shook hands, they chatted warmly in Chinese, except for the people from Tencent this time, only a few people on KaKao's side could understand what the two said.
"Lin Dong, I really admire that KaKao has developed into such a scale in a short period of time."
Although the scale of KaKao is still far from Tencent, the speed of development is much faster than that of Tencent when it first started, which in addition to the investment of ONE's parent company at the beginning, Lin Yi's personal ability also played a great role.
"You're welcome, Mr. Li, we still have a lot to learn from Tencent." Lin Yi also responded modestly, in fact, this is not wrong, Tencent is now the social software company with the most users in the world, and there are indeed many places worthy of Lin Yi's reference.
"We learn from each other, in fact, before I came to South Korea this time, Ma Dong also specially found me, and asked me to invite Lin Dong to our Tencent and Shencheng to have a look."
"Definitely, definitely, speaking of which, I have never been to Shencheng, and I also yearn for this city, which should be the fastest growing city in China in recent decades." Lin Yi actually didn't go anywhere else except the capital when he lived in Huaxia, and he didn't go to southern China once.
"Then it's settled."

After the greetings, Lin Yi took Tencent and his party to visit the entire KaKao company, including the main purpose of the negotiation, the operation department of KaKao taxi and food delivery software.
Mr. Li is also very appreciative of the current working environment and atmosphere of KaKao, because Lin Yi still implements the same model in ONE in the United States, and does not set too many rules and regulations for employees, and is relatively free in all aspects.
After the visit, the two sides also officially sat down at the negotiating table, and shareholders such as Samsung and CJ also sent representatives to sit on KaKao's side.
Because the two sides have reached cooperation intentions in the early stage, the focus of this negotiation is only to negotiate some details of cooperation and the distribution of benefits.
After a day of discussions, the final cooperation agreement was reached for the two parties to set up a joint venture company in Huaxia Shencheng, KaKao company to provide the source code of taxi and food delivery software and a mature team to work in Huaxia Shencheng.
Tencent provides office space, funds and other support, such as traffic import and payment, maps, etc. The shareholding ratio of the two parties is 25% and 75%, with Tencent accounting for the majority, and the follow-up financing will be reduced according to the ratio.
The software will also be completed in two months and upgraded, first in the Shenzhen City pilot, and then slowly extended to other cities in Guangdong Province, and then rolled out in major cities in China, planning to complete the layout of most cities in China in two years.
The name of the new company has also been discussed and determined, Shencheng Dida Computer Technology Co., Ltd., with a registered capital of 500 million Huaxia coins, and the name of the taxi and food delivery software launched is also prefixed with the company's name "Dida".
The day after the cooperation was reached, the shareholders of KaKao sat down again at the negotiating table, this time to discuss a wider range of cooperation between the companies, such as Tencent's investment in South Korea, and Samsung, CJ, and SK's investment in Huaxia
and so on.
This time, Lin Yi and KaKao Company will not mix, he just plays the role of a middleman, which is equivalent to a bridge.
After all, the current KaKao is not in the same order of magnitude as these large companies, and Kakao really has no business to develop in Huaxia.
Several major domestic Internet companies in Huaxia basically occupy all walks of life in the Internet, and it is also very difficult for foreign Internet companies to enter Huaxia, although Lin Yi has always considered himself a Chinese, but he is not a Chinese citizen after all.
The Tencent team stayed in South Korea for half a month before returning to China, in addition to visiting major companies, but also inspected many cities in South Korea, and finally several companies also reached a lot of cooperation intentions, which can be said to be a great joy.
In the past half month, Lin Yi also mentioned with Samsung and CJ that KaKao wanted to take a stake in cable TV station.
Samsung and CJ don't object to Kakao's idea of taking a stake in C and other cable stations, after all, the profitability of cable TV stations is really limited, and the market in South Korea is pitiful, and several cable TV stations are still in a state of loss.
If it weren't for the needs of public opinion, these chaebol groups would have sold their TV stations long ago. Now that Kakao wants to take a stake, the two sides can also cooperate more widely, in the end, KaKao still has an American background, plus it is an emerging Internet company, which is more suitable for TV stations.
In addition, Kakao is not an unknown small company in South Korea, it is already one of the largest Internet companies in South Korea, and in the latest survey, KaKao has ranked among the top five companies that recent college graduates from major universities in South Korea want to join the most.
In the end, after Lin Yi paid money and some benefits in exchange, KaKao took a 15% stake in TvN, 18% of JTBC, and 20% of M. TV.
Although KaKao does not have the largest stake in these cable TV stations, it also ranks in the top three, and all of them automatically obtain the board seats of these cable TV stations, and Lin Yi has several new titles.
On the day that the Tencent team left South Korea, Lin Yi also came to Incheon Airport to see off the plane.
"Lin Dong, let's talk about it, you must come to Shencheng when Dida Company is established, and I will take you to taste the special food of our Guangdong Province." After coming to South Korea this time, Lin Yi was very satisfied with their hospitality, and the friendship between the two sides was further enhanced.
"Okay, I already knew that there were many delicacies in Guangdong Province, but I really haven't eaten them."
"Then it's decided, you will have to stay a few more days at that time, and I will arrange for someone to take you around Huaxia."
In the past half a month, Li Qiang also learned a lot about Lin Yi's experience, and admired him very much for his great achievements in a foreign country at a young age. If it weren't for the son in his family, he would have to turn Lin Yi back to be his son-in-law.
"Haha, yes, I've long wanted to visit our land of China."
。
。
。
After saying goodbye to each other, Tencent and the others left South Korea by plane, and this time they came in vain.
Lin Yi was also completely relaxed, in the past half a month, he accompanied them to visit, negotiated the TV station, and some other bits and pieces, which also made him too busy to meet with Pei Zhuhyun, so he could only talk to each other on the phone.
Although Bae Joo-hyun also knew that Lin Yi's work during this period was very important, he still had some small emotions, and Lin Yi could hear them from the phone, so on the way back to Seoul city from Incheon Airport, he called her as soon as possible.
"Joo-hyun, I'm over here, where are you now?"
"Really? Then come and pick me up at night, I'm in the dormitory."
"Well, I'll go home and change my clothes and I'll go to you."
"Yes, let's go and see the electricity
Movie, I haven't watched a movie in a long time."
"Okay."
