As the days go by, the weather gets colder and colder, and the new year is getting closer and closer.

Kakao Group, Office.

Lin Yi sat at his desk and looked at the report that his assistant had just delivered, which was the work development plan for Kakao Group in 2014 submitted by the strategic planning department of Kakao Group.

In 2014, there were two things that were very significant to the Kakao Group.

The first is that the group's new headquarters building was successfully topped out last month after more than two years of construction. We are currently working overtime to renovate the interior, and it is estimated that we will be able to move in as a whole around May 2014.

The completion of the new headquarters building is of special significance to the Kakao Group, which means that the Kakao Group will meet the future development with a new look and attitude.

The completion of the new headquarters building will also give the employees of the Kakao Group a greater sense of belonging and cohesion, and of course, it will also attract more talents to join Kakao.

The second is the listing of the Kakao Group.

In the next year, Kakao will already be a company that has been established for 3 years, although the company has not been established for a long time, but in the past few years, the company has developed rapidly, and has now become one of the largest Internet companies in South Korea, and even a well-known high-tech company in Asia.

Regarding the issue of Kakao's listing, Lin Yi had always been conservative before this, and he actually didn't want Kakao to go public so early.

But sometimes this kind of thing is also involuntary, although Lin Yi is the major shareholder and absolute controller of the Kakao Group, but the opinions of other shareholders, he also has to take into account.

In addition, many veterans of the group also had expectations for Kakao's listing, and after several days of careful consideration, Lin Yi still agreed to Kakao Group's plan to go public in 2014. It's just that Kakao will not go public in the United States, but chooses to list in South Korea.

Except for these two major events that affect the entire Kakao Group, the rest are the work plans of each department and branch.

For example, Kakao M, an entertainment company, plans to acquire some actor agencies and vow to become the largest entertainment company in South Korea.

For example, Kakao Game, the game department, plans to launch 8~12 new games in 2014, including mobile MOBA games, shooting games, and so on.

Other departments also put forward many new projects in the new year, including the acquisition of some small and medium-sized companies that fill the shortcomings of the group's business.

All in all, in 2014, the entire Kakao Group will expand rapidly and open up many new areas.

The entire development plan report has more than 50 pages, involving all the departments of the group, and Lin Yi has a headache when he reads.

Near noon, as soon as Lin Yi put down the report and was about to rest his brain, the assistant knocked on the door and walked in, holding an envelope-like thing in his hand.

Coming to the desk, the assistant put the envelope in front of Lin Yi.

"President, this is an invitation letter from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of the Republic of Korea."

"Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism? It's not specifically in charge of the sports and culture industry, Kakao is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Information Industry. ”

Lin Yi picked up the envelope suspiciously and opened it, and sure enough, it was an invitation letter from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, which invited Lin Yi to a banquet by name.

"What's going on?"

Lin Yi took the envelope and looked at his assistant suspiciously, how could someone from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism find him.

"President, this.

。 I don't know very well either, the person who sent the invitation only said to give this to you and nothing else. ”

"Okay, I see, you can get out."

"Yes."

After the assistant left, Lin Yi looked at the invitation and fell into deep thought.

Although the invitation is very simple, just inviting Lin Yi to a dinner organized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, its real purpose should not be so simple.

After thinking about it, Lin Yi didn't understand why he sent him this invitation. Simply, in the end, he didn't go to the bottom anymore, the boat went straight to the bridge, and he didn't know if he went.

Lin Yi is not worried about his own safety, nor is he afraid of what South Korea's ZF will do to him. Although he is a foreigner in South Korea, the wealth he currently holds and the companies he has founded are not at the mercy of others. And he now has a more secure status, that is, the chairman of the board of directors of a public company in the United States, which has a market capitalization of more than $50 billion.

On the day of the dinner, Lin Yi deliberately cleaned himself up and brought his assistant to the host venue of the banquet, the Shilla Hotel.

As soon as Lin Yi and his assistant got out of the car, before they reached the hotel gate, a man in his 30s trotted towards him, came to the front, bowed and said:

"President Lin, welcome."

"You are?"

Lin Yi looked at the man suspiciously, he was sure that he had gone to see this person for the first time.

"I'm the Front Office Manager at The Shilla Hotel, and my surname is Lee."

"Manager Li, hello."

Hearing the identity of the man, Lin Yi also knew in his heart that this should be the Li family, but it may not be a descendant of the Li family.

"President Lin, please."

Manager Li walked into the hotel lobby with Lin Yi, and as soon as he entered the door, he was greeted by the real owner of this hotel, the eldest daughter of the famous Samsung family, Li Fuzhen, a woman in her 40s.

"Hello, President Lee."

Lin Yi rarely took the initiative to say hello, although the wealth of the woman in front of him was far inferior to him, but in the land of South Korea, the Samsung Li family was a mountain that could not be crossed. Besides, this woman is also nearly 20 years older than Lin, and according to etiquette, he also has to take the initiative to say hello.

"President Lin, it's been a long time."

Li Fuzhen saw that Lin Yi was also greeting with a smile on her face, although the Shilla Hotel and Everland that she now controlled did not have business dealings with Lin Yi's companies, but her understanding of this young man was not low.

It can also be said that the Li family knows Lin Yi's situation well, and because they know him very well, the people of the Samsung Li family are currently holding the idea of cooperating with him.

After all, there is no big conflict between the company that Lin Yi currently controls and Samsung, and even for now, the cooperation between the two is quite pleasant.

"yes, the last time we saw each other was a long time ago." Lin Yi smiled, he had only met Li Fuzhen once, and that meeting was at the banquet of the Kakao Group's expanded shareholders.

"Let's go, I'll take you in."

Li Fu Allah took over the task of entertaining Lin Yi, and among the people who came to the dinner today, there were very few who could let her take on the task of reception, and Lin Yi was one of them.

Lin Yi followed Li Fuzhen into the banquet hall of this dinner.

When the two walked into the hall, Lin Yi found that there were already many people in the banquet hall at this time, gathered together in twos and threes, and some of them, he also knew.

"President Lin, you are free, I have other things to do."

After Li Fuzhen brought Lin in again, she said goodbye with a smile, as the host today, she still has a lot of things to do.

"Okay, President Lee, please."

Lin Yi responded with a smile, and after Li Fuzhen left the banquet hall, he picked up a cocktail from a table full of wine glasses and walked towards a few people not far away.

"Director Lee, President Park, what are you talking about?"
