The Peninsula chaebol started by rescuing Samsung's little princess.

Chapter 116 The tycoons personally intervene

"Mars Music surpassed 500 million users and 300 million members within a month of its launch —"

Mars Video surpassed 300 million users and 150 million members within a month of its launch.

MarsNet, leveraging its massive user base, achieved remarkable results in just one month, astonishing major internet companies on the peninsula.

The major internet companies mentioned here naturally include Mars Technology itself.

When Li Haorong proposed this strategy, although the company's middle and senior management believed that MarsNet could win, they never expected it to be so easy.

After all, MarsNet used various methods and still took half a year to stabilize its market share as the number one.

But this time, it was as if the opponent had already been routed before I even exerted any effort!

"Alright, that's enough!"

"What's wrong?"

Yu Chengyan, who was studying data analysis, looked up at Li Haorong with a puzzled expression.

"Data analysis is the most fake thing. It's like writing a given essay and using all sorts of methods to make the article look beautiful and impressive."

Actually, they said very little, so just put the data table on my desk!

As they were talking, Li Haorong used a sniper rifle to blow the head off the opposing defender.

Cool!

Sure enough, even a life of luxury can't diminish one's craftsmanship!

Just as everyone was marveling at how Mars Music and Mars Video were conquering the internet on the peninsula, they were unaware that a game called "Crossfire" had officially launched its closed beta test.

On the Mars gaming platform, the game's popularity has led to a beta test activation code being resold online for over 15 Korean won.

With the last person eliminated, his team achieved final victory, and Li Haorong contentedly removed his headphones.

When he looked up, he saw Yu Chengyan's burning gaze.

Li Haorong wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the girl's gaze was hostile towards him.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing much, I just think you're amazing, student council president! You're good at academics, you can run a company, and you're even good at games!"

'

Although Yu Chengyan couldn't understand the game, she recognized the word "victory" displayed on the screen.

"Yes, you can say things like that more often in the future!"

"good!"

Yu Chengyan nodded and smiled.

Li Haorong's mood improved considerably. Sure enough, who doesn't like to hear nice things?

At that moment, Lee Juri walked in.

Although her clothes were still shiny and her face was covered with exquisite makeup, she couldn't hide the fatigue on her face.

Seeing this, Li Haorong frowned: "Haven't you been getting enough rest lately?"

"No, I got plenty of rest!"

Upon hearing Li Haorong's concern, Li Juli quickly shook her head.

Li Haorong didn't believe a single word of this.

Recently, Li Juli has been leaving early and returning late, doing the work of three people, and even has less time to spend with herself. How could she not be tired?

"If I find out you haven't rested well next time, I won't let you come to work!"

"Inside!"

Li Haorong's warning, though stern, was actually out of concern, which filled Yu Chengyan, who was standing to the side, with envy.

She felt that just putting herself in Lee Juri's shoes was already very enjoyable!

Then, Park Jung-hyuk hurriedly walked in.

What's going on this morning? My office is busier than ever before.

"President, something's happened again!"

Unfortunately, Park Jung-hyuk's words ended Lee Ho-young's good mood for the day.

"————It is reported that a 15-year-old student in Jeollanam-do was unable to recharge a game card purchased from a newsstand after entering the activation code!

He then asked the newsstand that sold the prepaid cards for a refund, but the shopkeeper refused, saying that he had already used the cards.

According to reporters, the laws governing virtual assets in our Great Cold Nation are inadequate and unable to fully protect users' rights. Therefore, the public is advised to exercise caution when purchasing.

On computers, this KBS news story has been reposted hundreds of times by MarsNet.

Li Haorong swiped the mouse down again, and the comment section became a chaotic mess.

"I've encountered this before, and customer service completely ignores it!"

"Mars.net's money-grabbing tactics are disgusting! The dragon slayer has become the dragon himself!"

"Other internet companies on the peninsula are even worse than MarsNet, what can we gamers do?"

"I might as well just play World of Warcraft!"

'

It's clear from the comments section that someone is stirring up trouble, but they haven't hired "Factory Nine."

Although "Factory No. 9" became famous overnight, various online marketing companies sprang up like mushrooms after rain.

After the video finished playing, Park Jung-hyuk continued, "This is the fifth news story to emerge this week."

In addition, a member of parliament stated in the media today that the existence of game currency makes it too easy for too many minors to become addicted to games, which is detrimental to social development. They are preparing to introduce a bill in Congress to strengthen the regulation of game currency!

This news caused the two girls behind him to frown.

"What does students' addiction to in-game currency have to do with it? Why doesn't this senator just ban all games?"

"Yeah, they're so mean!"

"Hehehe————"

However, just as they were feeling angry, Li Haorong burst out laughing.

"President, what are you laughing at?"

"I laughed at this tactic; it's all too familiar!"

First the media smeared him, then the government intervened. Isn't this the same method that Lee Kun-hee taught him?

Of course, Lee Ho-young knew that Lee Kun-hee was definitely not behind this, because Samsung wasn't the only company using this method.

As for who made the move, Li Haorong had already guessed, and it was most likely SK Group.

After all, the biggest loss caused by Mars Music was to SK Group's MeIOn Music.

Just then, Lee Ho-young's phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Lee Kun-hee calling.

Li Haorong waved to the group and waited until they left the office before answering the phone.

"President!"

"You probably already know everything, right?"

"Of course, they were clever; they didn't target Mars Music directly, but rather Mars Coins!"

Mars Music is currently doing well, but ultimately it's just a music listener, and it's difficult to influence it with public opinion.

Therefore, Choi Tae-won seized upon the novelty of Mars Coin and continuously spread rumors and slander against it.

People distrust new things, and coupled with media propaganda and national laws, they naturally tend to think of it as something bad.

Once Marscoin is banned, the connection between MarsNet and other projects is as if it has been severed.

At that time, the conversion of MarsNet users will be strangled, and Mars Music's offensive will naturally slow down, giving MeI...

0n leaves more time for a counterattack.

It must be said that Choi Tae-won has a keen eye and immediately saw the crux of the problem.

"What are your plans? Do you need my help? I know some people in Congress; sabotaging this bill shouldn't be a problem!"

The main reason Lee Kun-hee offered to help this time was that the chaebol itself was involved!

Lee Kun-hee was genuinely worried that Lee Ho-young wouldn't be able to handle this bullying behavior.

"Chairman, how long does it usually take for these kinds of proposals to be passed?"

"It's hard to say; it could take anywhere from a month to several years!"

"In that case, President, can you do me another favor?"

"you say!"

"Could you help me schedule appointments with representatives from a few banks?"

Lee Ho-yong's answer surprised Lee Kun-hee somewhat. He didn't know why Lee Ho-yong wanted to meet with these bank executives, but he still agreed, "Okay, which ones do you want?"

"The more the better!"
