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

Chapter 124 The Most Persistent Beauty

The sky outside the office was overcast, the sunlight was blocked by thick clouds, making it somewhat dim, just like Li Haorong's inner state.

He disliked Seoul's winters, as if everything around him had turned into a black and white photograph, devoid of any vibrant colors, somewhat like—a wasteland?

"In the wasteland, humans, mutants, and robots coexist, divided into two major factions: the Federation and the Empire. They are located at opposite ends of the map. You can gain experience and money by killing mobs, and then upgrade your character and buy equipment."

Okay, I've been distracted!

Turning my gaze away, I saw Jeon Jun-wook still excitedly explaining his newly designed game.

For a whole month, I tried all sorts of methods to get Jeon Jun-wook to switch jobs, but he refused every time. He's so stubborn!

Unable to bear it any longer, he couldn't help but interrupt, "Wait a minute, it's all long. Do you think I've never played D before?"

OTA?

"Forehead----"

Upon hearing Lee Ho-young's question, Jeon Jun-wook immediately became embarrassed.

It's quite obvious that this game did borrow a little bit from DOTA.

The famous DOTA is actually a map in Warcraft 3. Starting with Reign of Chaos, this map has been taken over by several generations and continuously improved and modified.

Last year, with IceFrog taking over, the game gradually became commercialized, gained more and more fame, and attracted more and more players.

Jeon Jun-wook was surprised that Lee Ho-young had heard of it, so he forced a smile and said, "Although some parts are similar, the content is completely different. This is a wasteland! A wasteland!"

Li Haorong curled his lip at this, thinking to himself, "These newbies, they always like things like post-apocalyptic and science fiction..."

"Cthulhu, is that a theme you can actually handle?"

"If you're going to piggyback on a DOTA-like game, just do it properly. It's a Western fantasy genre, so you should choose Western fantasy too, like Heroes of the Three Kingdoms."

Li Haorong suddenly paused halfway through his speech.

He suddenly realized that League of Legends probably hadn't been made yet at this time.

So he asked, "General, have you ever heard of Riot Games, the American video game company?"

"I know!"

"You—know?"

Lee Ho-yong was a little stunned. Riot Games must have been established not long ago, right? Where did Jeon Jun-wook find out about it?

Jeon Jun-wook nodded: "I have a college classmate who works in the US. I heard he just switched to a small company called Fist, which was just established this year. They can't even pay salaries yet, it's really tough for them."

"hiss----"

Upon hearing Jeon Jun-wook's words, Lee Ho-young couldn't help but gasp.

No way, my dear senior, your network is incredible! You even managed to get things done in the US?

At this moment, Li Haorong truly felt that he had not even reached 1% of Quan Junxu's network of contacts!

"What's wrong, boss? How did you find out about this small company?"

"Go contact your classmate and arrange a meeting with their boss. I want to invest in this company!"

Li Haorong said excitedly.

"That's a tiny company; there are tons of them in California. Why waste money like that?"

"It's settled then!"

"So, boss, are you still going to consider my 'Wasteland' game?"

"The subject matter isn't good enough, so we'll put it on hold for now!"

"It's been shelved again?"

Upon hearing this, Jeon Jun-wook seemed to have all his strength drained away.

"Is there anything else?"

"Oh, right, Tencent sent a congratulatory message saying that Dungeon & Fighter has already surpassed 50 concurrent players in its first month!"

"From now on, important things should be mentioned first!"

Li Haorong was speechless!

After finally getting rid of Jeon Jun-wook, Lee Ho-young felt as if all his strength had been drained away.

"President, President Kim Chi-woo of Venus Entertainment wishes to see you!"

However, before he could even have a moment to rest, Yu Chengyan rushed in to report again.

"What is she doing here?"

More than a month has passed since that welcome banquet filled with misunderstandings. During this time, Li Haorong also explained to Jin Chiyou over the phone, which barely cleared up the misunderstanding.

But we haven't seen each other for a while, so why is she suddenly coming over?

However, since the other party was the president of one of his subsidiaries, he naturally had to meet with him.

"President!"

Soon, Jin Chiyou walked in, wearing high heels.

She truly lives up to her status as Kim Hee-sun's relative; look at her figure and petite face—she definitely deserves the title of a beautiful CEO.

"President Kim, is there something you need from me?"

"Yes, there are some things I'm unsure about, so I need to report to the president!"

"Okay, Seung-yeon, get President Kim a cup of coffee!"

After Yu Chengyan left the office, Jin Chiyou sat in front of Li Haorong, her smile unchanged.

"President, do you know Kim Jeong-hoon?"

"That sounds familiar!"

"He played the second male lead in Ji-hyo's drama 'Princess Hours' this year!"

"Oh, I remember now, what happened to him?"

"He recently debuted in Japan, but it hasn't been very successful. I want to take advantage of his career setbacks and poach him!"

Since the establishment of Jinxing Entertainment, Jin Chiyou rarely reports to Li Haorong, and she hardly takes any action in the company, mainly focusing on Jin Hee-sun.

So much so that rumors have even circulated in the industry that the "Jin" in "Jin Xing Entertainment" is the same as the "Jin" in "Kim Hee-sun"!

It was a company that Lee Ho-young bought specifically to pursue Kim Hee-sun, keeping her as a mistress!

In fact, Lee Ho-young had only met Kim Hee-sun once, he was completely wronged!

Why would a company president like this suddenly come over today just to tell me such a small thing?

Li Haorong didn't believe she would be so free!

"You're the president of Venus Entertainment, you're in charge of this!"

Lee Ho-young directly handed over the decision-making power to Kim Chi-woo. Was it really worth his trouble to deal with a small-time celebrity?

"Okay, there's a second thing. I think Venus Entertainment can diversify a bit more. We can't just limit ourselves to artist contracts. We can also try to move upstream, such as into film and television production!"

"Do you have any good ideas?"

"FILMZCorp's financial situation isn't good. I've talked to them about buying the rights to 'Sex Is Zero' and making a sequel! 50 billion won should be enough for the whole budget!"

Jin Chiyou's words made Li Haorong's eyes light up.

He had actually seen this movie in his previous life.

Although he was somewhat disappointed after watching it, the plot was too explicit, and Ha Ji-won was quite attractive—

However, it cannot be denied that the film performed very well on the Korean Peninsula.

After its release in 2002, the film ranked fourth in the Peninsula annual box office chart with 420 million viewers.

As the first film invested in by Venus Entertainment, this sequel to such a popular IP should at least break even if it doesn't make a huge profit, provided the original cast returns!

"Sure, is the company short of funds?"

"It is lacking in some areas!"

"Okay, I'll have Mercury Investments make an additional investment in the company!"

With Li Haorong's decisive victory over SK Group, his reputation in the investment world soared, and many scions of wealthy families were willing to invest their money in Mercury Investment.

This has given Mercury Investments a significant amount of capital recently, and they need to find some good projects again.

"Thank you for your support, President!"

Jin Chiyou smiled gently.

But after the matter was discussed, Jin Chiyou lingered and didn't leave, so Li Haorong had to ask, "Is there anything else?"

"President, are you busy tonight? Hee-sun unnie is very sorry about what happened at the last dinner party and would like to invite you to dinner to apologize in person!"

Upon hearing this, Li Haorong finally understood why Jin Chiyou had gone to such lengths today.

All that talk about poaching talent and investment is just a smokescreen. Her real purpose in coming here is to invite me to dinner on behalf of Kim Hee-sun!

If the other party keeps persistently contacting you, it would indeed be disheartening to refuse them repeatedly.

As her most famous artist under his management and the most beautiful woman on the peninsula, he should indeed do her a favor!
