......

Hotel, conference room.

Gu Heng tapped the demo version behind him with the back of his fingers.

"I'm sorry to call you over the weekend, but time is limited, and we need to make a judgment as soon as possible based on Kakao's latest plan and adjust the direction of our negotiations, so thank you very much."

He looked at a man with gold-rimmed glasses and said,

"Maoxun, please first introduce the preliminary consensus we have reached with Kakao Corp during this time."

"Okay," Li Maoxun spread out the documents in front of him, "due to the pressure of the capital chain, Kakao Corp has initially relented, and President Kim Beom-so has agreed to trade in the form of a small number of ordinary shares and some preferred shares, and we will appoint a managing director, but correspondingly, the price of this transaction will also be much higher than before." ”

"Have you already decided on a plan for the next steps?" Gu Heng then asked.

Kakao Corp's concession was not unexpected.

Judging by the level of threat to Kim Beom-so's control of the company, South Korea's entrenched capital is more dangerous than that of Jingsheng from outside.

"I've communicated with Kakao several times in the past two days, and now President Kim Beom-so has made a formal statement within the company, and he really plans to start with games and find new profit points."

"What about the specific direction?"

"The plan is to first acquire and integrate an established game company to produce a large-scale online game as quickly as possible."

"Big online games?"

Gu Heng's brows furrowed almost subconsciously.

Lee Mo-hoon lifted his glasses and added, "Yes, it's not impossible, Kim Beom-so's starting work is an online game social networking site, and he has a keen sense of the trend of the game market in South Korea." ”

Gu Heng hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't doubt his ability in this regard, but judging from the production cycle of large-scale games, there will be an extremely long gap between acquisition and release. ”

After pausing to sort out his thoughts, Gu Heng continued,

"Profitability is very important for Kakao right now, and it needs to be achieved in the short term, but all of this needs to be based on the core of Kakao talk, and it is absolutely not feasible and risky to buy a company to make a big game."

"However, even if we reach an agreement with Kakao, Kim Beom-so's shares are still about 50 percent, and he is currently in absolute control over Kakao Corp, so I am afraid that our opinion is ........"

"But at the moment, the funds are in our hands, as long as we don't nod and inject funds, what is the difference between his plan and the castle in the air?" Liu Chen, who had not spoken, spoke slowly, "Jin Fanxiu, this person ......"

The meeting room fell silent.

After thinking for a while with his eyes closed, Liu Chen looked at Gu Heng, "Gu Heng, what do you think?" ”

"The game business is indeed one of the lifesavers that Kakao can grasp now, but the path to achieve it should not be to develop and produce large-scale games or web games, which is a waste of Kakao talk's own advantages."

"Go on."

"Light casual games with social attributes should be the right goal for Kakao Corp."

Gu Heng wrote down the words "mobile terminal", "mobile game", "user" and "social platform" on the display board behind him.

"After the advent of touchscreen mobile phones, the era of mobile games has truly arrived, and it is no accident that the explosive models that have appeared from time to time in the past two years represent this trend."

"As the social platform with the highest market share in South Korea, such a huge traffic entrance is a dream for any mobile game."

"Focusing on the release of several games of this type, and short-term centralized promotion through Kakaotalk to drive popularity, the risk cost is smaller, and the possibility of commercial success is also greater."

"Moreover, if one of the games can break the circle, then there is an opportunity to feed back the number of users of the social software itself, so as to stabilize the market position of Kakao talk."

"Only in this way will Kakao have a chance to achieve a significant reduction in losses within one to two years."

After being silent for a long time, Liu Chen knocked on the table, "Mao Xun." ”

"Well, Mr. Liu."

"You communicate with Kakao that we should have a certain right to intervene in the business decisions of the new business. Only when this is guaranteed, the others can be discussed. ”

"Okay, Mr. Liu."

After making some other explanations and arrangements, Liu Chen announced the end of the meeting.

Gu Heng was left alone.

The two of them walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the conference room.

"I'm a little worried." Liu Chen said.

"You're talking about, Kim Beom-so?" Gu Heng looked at Liu Chen.

"Hmm."

"I'm afraid he thinks the same way about us." Gu Heng smiled.

Unlike Kakao Corp, an emerging internet company, King Shing is closer to a traditional, semi-family-run diversified business group.

Before Gu Changzhi officially took the helm, Jingsheng's focus has been on commercial real estate, infrastructure and electricity, medicine and other real industries, known for its steady and steady business style, until recent years, under the leadership of Gu Changzhi, to extend its tentacles to other emerging industries.

"Jin Fanxiu makes me feel very unstable," Liu Chen shook his head, "You should pay more attention to the formulation of the new plan." ”

"Okay."

"If it ends up negotiating...... Forget it, we'll talk about that later. ”

Liu Chen swallowed his words back, and his tone changed, "Okay, you can go too, today are you going to see the grandmother of the Li family?" ”

"Yes, I'll pick up Ji-eun in a moment."

"That little girl from the Li family...... Liu Chen smiled on his face, "Speaking of which, I called Lao Gu a few days ago, and he was shocked when he said that this little girl has now become a star singer, but he also said that when the little girl yelled at him back then, her voice was very loud, and she was really good material for singing." ”

Gu Heng smiled, "You two are still talking about this ......"

If Li Zhien knew about Gu Changzhi's evaluation, I don't know how she would react.

After chatting with Liu Chen for a few more words, Gu Heng said goodbye and left.

Coming out of the hotel, he flagged down a taxi on the street.

After getting into the car and sitting down, he reported to the driver the address of the Loen company where Li Zhien worked.

In the first few days when he first arrived in Seoul, Li Zhien still relied on him at home every day.

But it is obviously impossible for the agency to let her take a long vacation, so Li Zhien has been busy again these days, and sometimes he lives directly in the company.

Taking out his mobile phone, Gu Heng dialed Li Zhien's number.

He hadn't been to Loen, and if he hadn't been to Li Zhien or her agent assistant to pick him up, he would probably be locked out of the door.

But the phone beeped several times, and it didn't go through.

"Strange, did you just sleep until noon and didn't get up?"

Glancing at the time on his phone, Gu Heng was a little puzzled.

If Li Zhien still hasn't replied to him when he gets to Loen's side, it will be a bit troublesome......

Or you need to find Li Zhongxin and his wife to ask for the contact information of Li Zhien's agent.

Gu Heng's fingers unconsciously slid back and forth on the screen.

"Sir, it's time to get there."

Before he could come up with a result, the taxi had already arrived outside Loen's company.

"Okay, thanks."

After getting out of the car, Gu Heng looked at the six-story Loen company building in front of him.

Taking out his phone again, he was about to call He Jingshu when he was gently patted on the shoulder.

"Gu Heng?" Someone was calling him by name in a slightly awkward accent.

"Miss Liu Renna," Gu Heng was also a little surprised when he saw the woman with exquisite makeup behind him, "Why are you...... Long time no see. ”

Liu Renna bent her fox-like eyes, "Yes, it seems to be fateful." ”
