Chapter 342: The Future of KaKao
Lin Yi didn't notice Li Zhien's eyes at this time, he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes now, and after walking to the bed, he lay down directly, covered the quilt, and closed his eyes.
Li Zhien got into bed from the other side, got into the quilt, and hugged Lin Yi's arm.
"Sleep." Lin Yi patted Li Zhien's hand and said.
"Oba, I'll buy you some supplements to eat next time, or you'll be young.
。 Hehe, it's not good in the future. Li Zhien said with a smile, this is also for the sake of her future happiness.
"Li Zhien, don't mess with me." Lin Yi muttered with his eyes closed, this is about a man's dignity.
"Come on, come on, I'll mess with you, what can you do to me."
As he spoke, Li Zhien also put his hand directly into Lin Yi's pajamas and stroked his abdomen.
"It's so late, don't make a fuss." Lin Yi pressed Li Zhien's restless little hand.
"Oba, you sleep, just as I don't exist, hehe."
"How can I sleep like this?"
"Okay, I'm not moving, that's all."
Li Zhien didn't take his hand away, and kept putting it on Lin Yi's stomach, she also saw that he was indeed a little tired today, so she planned to let him go tonight first, and then find a chance to make up for it later.
Early in the morning, when the first rays of sunlight of the latest day shone into the bedroom, under the reminder of the biological clock, Lin Yi slowly opened his eyes, and after waking up for a while, he looked at Li Zhien, who was shrinking in the crook of his arm, and smiled at the corner of his mouth.
After getting up, washing, and changing clothes, Lin Yi came to his sister's room to wake her up, and then went to make breakfast.
Breakfast is also very simple, porridge, fried eggs, toast bacon.
"Oba, actually, you don't need to send me to and from school, I can do it myself."
Zhang Yuanying said to Lin Yi while eating breakfast.
"That's not good, you're too young to be safe on the road."
"It's okay, my classmates all go to and from school by themselves, and besides, I have a classmate who lives nearby, so we can be together."
"That's not going to work, wait until you're a few years older."
Lin Yi didn't worry about his sister going to and from school alone, she was such a little girl, she was still so beautiful, there were many perverts in South Korea, if something happened, it would be too late for him to regret it.
However, Zhang Yuanying's words also reminded Lin Yi of the awakening, he was thinking about whether it was time to hire a few bodyguards, although his identity has not been fully exposed now, but one day he will be known to the public, he is not afraid, but what if someone wants to threaten him with his sister, it is easy to say money or anything, I am afraid that something unpredictable will happen.
The matter of the bodyguard, Lin Yi has to think about it carefully, he must find someone who knows the roots, and it is not unheard of that such a thing as self-theft by the guards has never happened.
After sending his sister to school, Lin Yi went straight to Kakao's company and called his assistant in.
"Assistant Li, is the company's current security recruited by the company itself or invited by an external security company?"
"President, our company recruits itself, and most of the employees are veterans of the army and people from professional security training schools."
"Oh, how many are there now?"
"This.
。 There are about 5 or 60 people, but I don't know exactly how many. Assistant Li hadn't thought that Lin Yi would ask this question at all, so he was completely unprepared.
"Okay, you go and call the head of security, I have something to ask him."
"Yes."
Soon, Assistant Li came to the office with a sturdy man in his 40s.
"Hello, President, I'm the head of the security department, and my name is Jin Shuozhong." The middle-aged man bowed respectfully and said hello, this was the first time he had come to the president's office, and he had only seen Lin Yi, the mysterious president, once before.
"Director Kim, sit down first."
"Thank you, President."
"Assistant Li, go pour two cups of coffee." Lin Yi commanded again.
"Yes."
Assistant Li walked out of the office, and Lin Yi opened his mouth to ask.
"Director Kim, how many security personnel are there in the company at the moment, and are there any women?"
"President, there are currently a total of 65 security personnel in the company, including 12 women."
"Well, are there enough security personnel now? Do you need to recruit again? ”
"President, the personnel are enough for the time being, but the company has been recruiting, and some of them come for interviews, and I feel good will stay."
Lin nodded, he knew that Kakao Group had new employees almost every day, and the company was involved in more and more projects, and more and more talents were needed.
"In this way, you can help me select two female security personnel to come out, I have another job arrangement for them, they must be innocent, and have excellent professional ability, preferably working in the company for more than a year."
"Yes, President, I will definitely choose it well."
Jin Shuozhong made a guarantee very seriously, this is the first time Lin Yi has instructed him to work as the head of the security department, so he must do his best to do a good job.
At this time, the assistant also brought in the coffee and put it on the table.
Lin Yi took a sip of coffee, and then asked:
"Director Jin, do you usually have training in your security department?"
"President, yes, we have two days of physical training a week, and we will also train some security knowledge."
"Well, you are responsible for the safety of the entire company, and you must not relax in the usual training, and if you encounter any difficulties in your work in the future, you must respond to President Kim, or tell me."
"Yes, President, don't worry, I will do my job well."
"Okay, then you can go and get busy, you don't have to worry about what I explain to you, but you have to know a little bit, you are responsible for the person you found for me, you know?" Lin Yi deliberately instructed again, it was related to his sister's safety, and he was very concerned.
"Yes, I understand."
After Jin Shuozhong left the office, Assistant Li cautiously asked:
"President, why did you suddenly pay attention to security work, is there something wrong?"
"No, I just have some personal matters and want to find two bodyguards for my sister."
Assistant Li understood as soon as he heard it, Lin Yi was worried about his family, and then he continued:
"President, I think you need someone to protect you now."
"I don't.
。 Not for the time being, there are still very few people who know me as a person. ”
Lin Yi didn't want to go there and be followed by someone, although it would be said that this would improve security, but it was also equivalent to losing his freedom.
"President, this can't be sloppy, you are now the backbone of the company, if something goes wrong with you, then.
。 The assistant didn't say anything further, he knew that Lin Yi would also understand what he was referring to.
Lin Yi thought about it carefully, he knew all the truths that the assistant said, but he was used to being free by himself, and suddenly there was one more person by his side, and he would always feel a little awkward.
"Okay, I'll think about it, it's not in a hurry."
No matter how Lin Yi's current identity is not ordinary, ordinary people don't dare to pay attention to him, unless he encounters that kind of outlaw.
Hearing Lin Yi say this, the assistant didn't say anything more, he just had to do his duty.
"By the way, what's going on over there over Paul, and how far is Kakao Bank's progress?" Lin Yi suddenly remembered this question.
"The application for the establishment of an online bank has been submitted to the relevant government departments, and now only the last department is waiting for approval."
"Oh? What department? ”
"Foreign Investment Review and Management Committee."
"And such a department?" It's the first time Lin Yi has heard that when he established Kakao and Starship Entertainment in the past, there was no such department to review it.
"Well, chairman, after all, banks are a special industry, and during the Asian financial crisis in the 90s, South Korea also suffered heavy blows from foreign investment banks, so the scrutiny in this regard has always been very strict."
"So, does this department have any requests?"
In the late 90s, during the Asian financial crisis, Lin Yi was still in elementary school, and he only heard about it later, so he didn't have any impression at all, but he remembered that his father seemed to be decadent for a while.
"No, it's just that the review is slower, and the company's public relations department has begun to mediate, and I think there will be results soon."
"Okay, tell me what's going on."
"Okay, I understand."
After the assistant left, Lin Yi began to think about Kakao's next development path.
At present, the software applications launched by Kakao Group have achieved good results in the market, and Kakao Talk is already the largest instant social software in Asia outside the Chinese market, with more than 200 million registered users.
Kakao taxi and Kakao takeaway also have the largest market share in South Korea, and now they are also starting to be sold in some countries in Southeast Asia.
Kakao games have also become a veritable cash cow, with more than 30 games launched so far, and more than 10 of them have more than 1 million daily active users, and the daily cash turnover is astronomical.
Kakao Entertainment has also begun to show its strength, and currently controls entertainment companies such as Loen Entertainment, JYP Entertainment and CUBU Entertainment, as well as shares in three cable TV stations, and is now in talks with a number of entertainment brokerage companies. In the future, Kakao Entertainment will also be on a par with CJ Entertainment.
As soon as Kakao Bank is established, all these projects can be integrated to form an ecosystem, and the Kakao Group will be a veritable emerging chaebol company.
Lin Yi also knew that when the Kakao Group became a chaebol, his identity would not be hidden, and trouble would ensue at that time.
After all, Lin Yi is not Korean, and he has no Korean ancestry, and with the tradition of Korean xenophobia, it will definitely have an impact on the Kakao Group at that time.
】
So Lin Yi has to take precautions, hide his shares in Kakao, and be a behind-the-scenes manipulator, of course, this matter will be handed over to his investment company in the United States, after all, the shares cross each other, and they are still professional.
Sending his plan to Li Xuanyi, who was far away in the United States, Lin Yi began to think about Kakao's next project.
After all, Kakao is a high-tech Internet company, although the field of people's livelihood is also involved, but in the end it is necessary to develop high-tech, so the company has recently had two project plans, one long-term and one short-term.
The long-term project is artificial intelligence, which can also be called AI.
Artificial intelligence is no longer an uncommon thing, in the last century, there were American high-tech companies put forward this concept, and there were many Hollywood film companies that made artificial intelligence into movies.
The artificial intelligence proposed by Lin Yi is not quite the same as in the movie, he does not want to build robots or machines or anything, but to apply artificial intelligence to all aspects of life, just like an auxiliary assistant to help users solve some problems encountered in life, and it can also be applied to all the software of Kakao. Therefore, this requires extremely high technical requirements, in addition to the support of powerful servers and big data, which requires the accumulation of time.
Of course, this plan is not something that can be completed in a short time, according to Lin Yi's prediction, when a mature artificial intelligence can be applied, it will take at least 2~3 years.
The long-term project plan is artificial intelligence, and the short-term project is the Kakao online mall, which is currently underway.
Online shopping is nothing new, and now many people have experienced the convenience of online shopping and are very willing to try this new way of shopping.
Moreover, there are already two very large and mature shopping websites in Huaxia, and the daily transaction volume is very huge, which makes many people see business opportunities, and large and small shopping websites appear one after another.
The Kakao online mall has been planned for a while, the website has been structured, and the suppliers have signed procurement contracts, but now they are just entangled in the problem of logistics.
Although South Korea is not big, the area is not as large as a province in China, but there are still quite a lot of large and small logistics companies in it, if Kakao prepares his own logistics company, it will definitely be suppressed by other logistics companies, and even a delivery man can not be recruited.
But if the logistics are contracted to these logistics companies, Lin Yi is still afraid that there will be any problems that will be difficult to manage, after all, Kakao online mall also sells expensive products, such as household appliances and mobile phones and computers, if this is lost, it is impossible to say.
In the end, Lin Yi still plans to take a two-pronged approach, the low-priced items will be made by the outsourced logistics company, and the expensive ones will be sent by the company's own recruits, anyway, South Korea is not big, and most people are concentrated near Seoul, so this method can also temporarily solve this problem, and then slowly improve it later.
Summoned the president Kim Jung-kook, Lin Yi told him all his thoughts, and the next work of the Kakao online mall was left to him to handle.
Lin Yi still has to personally grasp the plan of artificial intelligence, after all, he is also a professional and has a certain authority in this regard.
By the time all the work was arranged, it was already afternoon, and Lin Yi went to school to pick up his sister home.
