Incheon Airport.

In the airport hall, Gu Heng stood tall.

Looking at the group of people coming from a distance, he took a few steps forward and bowed slightly to the middle-aged man in the center, "Mr. Liu." ”

The middle-aged man was slightly chubby, and the buttons of his blazer were a little difficult to hide his figure.

Judging from the appearance alone, it looks like a harmless smiling Buddha.

Of course, neither Gu Heng nor the group behind him would have such thoughts in their hearts.

In the process of Gu Changzhi taking charge of Jingsheng step by step, this slightly chubby man played an extremely important role.

Seeing Gu Heng, a smile appeared on his face, "I told you that you don't have to come to the airport to pick me up, you have to go this way!" ”

Although the conversation between the two was brief, and Liu Chen didn't even introduce Gu Heng's identity, the quick-witted person could already hear a lot of information from it, and his gaze at Gu Heng quietly changed.

Gu Heng didn't argue, he just smiled and said, "I have already arranged the car for the pick-up." ”

"You..."Liu Chen first shook his head and then nodded, then turned his face to the people behind him and said succinctly, "Gu Heng, I used to work in Yunju, and I am currently serving as my special assistant temporarily. ”

"Okay, then let's go," Without leaving them time to react, Liu Chen motioned for the people behind him to follow.

Soon, the group left the airport and got into three cars.

Sitting in the car, Liu Chen looked at Gu Heng beside him, and suddenly said loudly, "Tell me what you think?" ”

"Huh?"

"Since you decided to join, you must have some ideas of your own, right? Cross-border investment is not a trivial matter, especially the asking price of this Kakao is not low at all, I would like to hear your opinion. ”

Gu Heng did not give an answer immediately, but hesitated slightly.

"Huh?" Seeing his reaction, Liu Chen became interested, and couldn't help but guess, "It seems that you don't seem to be optimistic about this business?" ”

Gu Heng nodded slightly, "At least before I officially contact them, I have reservations. ”

"Why? As far as I know, Kakao's development in South Korea in the past two years should be considered very rapid. ”

"I don't deny this, but ......," Gu Heng frowned, his fingers tapped on the edge of the window, "but their asking price and conditions obviously didn't take into account those factors that were unfavorable to them." ”

"Although I have been working in the Internet industry for several years and believe that this industry has unlimited potential, it is important to remember that we cannot ignore the basic business rules because of our expectations for the concept of [Internet]. The current situation of Kakao's business is not optimistic. ”

Liu Chen pondered silently for a while, neither agreeing nor opposing, but said, "If there is no accident, we should meet that Mr. Kim Beom-so today...... Look again, you pay more attention. ”

He brought people here this time for negotiation and inspection.

Gu Heng nodded slightly, "Okay." ”

......

Seocho-gu.

Several cars slowly stopped in front of the tall building.

Gu Heng opened the car door.

The sunlight outside the car was a little dazzling, which made him squint subconsciously.

Unlike most of the biggest names in South Korea, Kakao's headquarters are not located in Seoul, but in the Jeju area.

However, Seoul is the economic core of the whole of South Korea, and Kakao has left a corresponding office here.

That is, the tall building in front of you.

As the car door opened, a few people in suits walked briskly not far away.

After a brief docking, a man about forty years old came to Liu Chen, gave a deep salute, and said in somewhat broken Chinese, "Hello, Mr. Liu!" I'm Nam Joo-in, welcome to Kakao! ”

Liu Chen smiled and nodded at him.

However, apparently this person has only learned such a sentence in Chinese, and the next communication still needs to be handed over to the translators on both sides.

Under the leadership of the personnel in charge of greeting, Liu Chen and his party quickly entered Kakao's company building.

Gu Heng silently followed Liu Chen's side, looking at this company that had become famous in just a few years.

In South Korea, Kakao talk, a social networking app launched by the young company, has taken over many people's mobile phones with free communication in just a few years.

If random street interviews were to be conducted now, Kakao would be one of the most well-known companies.

Led by Nam Joo-in, the group walked through the company's office area and came to the outside of a conference room.

Before Nam Joo-in could speak, the door to the conference room was opened from the inside.

A few men in formal attire walked out.

But the leader is not the Kakao founder Jin Fanxiu imagined by Liu Chen and Gu Heng, but a lean man about thirty years old.

Liu Chen and Gu Heng glanced at each other, and their brows furrowed slightly.

Perhaps sensing the thoughts of the two, the thin man walked quickly to Liu Chen and took the lead in stretching out his hand,

"Hello Mr. Liu, I'm Lin Zhixun, the head of Kakao Corp's investment, financing and M&A business department. Originally, Mr. Kim Beom-so was supposed to receive him in person today, but he couldn't rush over because of some unexpected problems at the Jeju Provincial Headquarters, so I'm really sorry! ”

Gu Heng's doubts in his heart decreased slightly.

As far as he knows, unlike most companies in South Korea that have a cumbersome administrative system, Kakao is a young company with only three ranks: CEO, manager, and team members.

In other words, at least Lin Zhixun barely passed the level, although it still seemed very rude.

However, Kim Beom-so didn't appear today, is it really as he said, is it a temporary situation in the headquarters?

His eyes swept over the fine sweat on the foreheads of several people behind Lin Zhixun, and Gu Heng's doubts that had been temporarily pressed quietly rose again.

But at this time, it was obviously not the time to care about these, so he attached a few words to Liu Chen's ear.

Liu Chen nodded slightly, and shook Lin Zhixun's palm with a smile, "Then I'll trouble Minister Lin today." ”

In any case, this kind of business will not bear fruit in a short period of time, and he still has enough time to make his own observations of this company and Kim Beom-so.

Liu Chen's statement made Lin Zhixun greatly relieved, and the smile on his face became brighter.

No one knows better than him how much the current company needs a sufficient amount of financing, and for some reason, among the companies that can provide this amount of capital, this Huaxia company named Jingsheng is one of the best choices......

With this handshake, the atmosphere was much more harmonious in the following time.

Lin Zhixun led Liu Chen and Gu Heng and his party through various areas of Kakao, and introduced to them the company's achievements in recent years.

Lin Zhixun's words naturally have some exaggerated elements, but even if this water is removed, the company's growth rate is still very amazing.

Gu Heng listened carefully and answered some questions raised by Liu Chen in a low voice from time to time.

Time passed quietly.
