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

On the Beijing-Wuhan Expressway, Li Haorong drove his G-Class at high speed.

Li Yinxin, sitting in the passenger seat, looked around nervously, fidgeting as if someone had drugged her.

Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer and said in a very gentle tone, "Aren't you tired? How about I take over driving?"

"It's only a 20-minute walk, and you've asked me three times already!"

Li Haorong rolled his eyes. How could he not know what she meant?

It's hard to imagine that a girl like Li Yinxin would like racing so much.

Seeing that Li Haorong wouldn't agree, Li Yinxin was a little discouraged. She simply leaned back, took off her shoes, and put her long legs on the dashboard in front of the passenger seat.

Putting everything else aside, her legs are slender and long, no less so than those of female celebrities!

Since that night, Li Yinxin has become increasingly unguarded in front of Li Haorong.

"Honestly, if they won't let me drive, why did they bring me out in the first place?"

"There's nothing I can do, Zhixian has her final exams coming up, so I gave her a break!"

"Hey, what do you mean? Am I a substitute?"

Li Haorong's words precisely hit Li Yinxin's sore spot, causing her to erupt in anger.

"How could that be? You are unique to the company. Who can replace you?"

"For the company? And for you?"

"Equally irreplaceable!"

Just kidding, without Li Yinxin, where am I going to find another chaebol heiress willing to spend money on me?

"hey-hey!"

Hearing this, Li Yinxin felt satisfied and leaned back, looking completely relaxed.

Unfortunately, her good mood didn't last long; just a few minutes later, she couldn't resist anymore:

"Why is that lousy game company located so far away?"

"What else could it be? Of course, it's because we can't afford to rent an apartment in Seoul!"

Li Haorong was not at all surprised when Li Yinxin said such a thing as "Why don't they eat meat porridge?"

"Seriously, now that you're a well-known president, why don't you consider hiring a full-time assistant?"

I'm not saying Zhixian is bad, but she's still in school, and her job is very unstable!

Worried that Li Haorong might misunderstand, Li Yinxin added another sentence.

"Hmm, let's talk about that later! We'll be there soon, so hurry up and put your shoes on!"

Li Haorong did not immediately agree, but instead gave a vague answer.

"What? You're disgusted with me?"

"Yeah, the whole car smells!"

"Ugh, your feet smell stinky! Mine smell amazing, you can smell them if you don't believe me!"

Li Haorong once again accurately stepped on Li Yinxin's landmine, which angered her so much that she immediately stretched her leg out towards Li Haorong's face.

"Damn it, I'm driving!"

The sudden turn of events startled Li Haorong, causing the entire car to sway and tilt as if it were drunk.

When the G-Wagon drove into the Banqiao Technology Park, the two got out of the car, and Li Yinxin looked somewhat unhappy.

Needless to say, given her behavior just now, Li Haorong only spared her from being berated because she's rich!

For a moment, Li Haorong thought he was about to time travel again!

"Chairman Li, Representative Li, welcome!"

As soon as the two got out of the car, several people who had been waiting for a long time came to greet them outside the park building.

"Hello, you must be Zhang Ren'e?"

Li Haorong reached out and shook hands with the capable young woman at the front.

"Yes, I am a representative of Smile Gate, and this is our company's president, Kwon Hyuk-bin!"

Zhang Ren'e pointed to a man dressed in typical science and engineering attire behind her and introduced him.

"Hello, Chairman Li!"

Quan Hebin said somewhat reservedly.

The reason Lee Ho-young drove Lee Yoon-hyung to Bundang-gu in Gyeonggi Province, a 30-minute drive from Seoul, was for the Smile Gate game company located in the Pangyo Technology Park.

After expressing his needs to Kong Canyu, Li Haorong began to select a suitable game company for his next plan.

His requirements are companies with certain R&D capabilities, but small scale, and capable of acquiring a large number of shares at a cheap price!

Small companies that meet these requirements are not easy to find in Seoul, since Seoul is not a suitable place to start a business!

Fortunately, he had a very helpful senior colleague who worked at Nexon, who introduced him to the company.

"Please come in, both of you!"

Stepping into Smile Gate, the place was indeed very rudimentary. The entire company consisted of only one office, with more than thirty people crammed inside like in a sauna.

Li Yinxin didn't like the environment here. After smelling the faint scent of tobacco, she waved her hand.

Seeing this, Zhang Ren'e quickly explained, "Our office environment here may be a bit lacking, but our R&D capabilities are absolutely no problem!"

We have 15 concept artists, 7 system administrators, and 10 production engineers. Our development capabilities are comparable to some large game companies!

They couldn't help but be nervous. The company was on the verge of bankruptcy, and if they couldn't find a buyer... I mean, an investor, it would be a problem if they could even pay next month's salaries!

Upon hearing Zhang Ren'e's explanation, Li Haorong sneered inwardly.

He had already learned about the company's actual situation before he arrived.

This company was founded in 2001 and has always made games by imitating and referencing other methods.

Okay, so it's actually plagiarism!

The company fell into financial crisis because they were not satisfied with small-scale operations and wanted to produce a large-scale game.

Unfortunately, they underestimated the difficulty of developing this game, resulting in a production cycle that was too long, exceeded the budget, and threatened to break the funding chain.

Are there any games you're developing right now?

"Yes, yes, this is the new game we're developing!"

Kwon Hyuk-bin quickly pointed to a computer.

Li Haorong originally thought that this lousy company could not possibly make any good games, but when he sat in front of the computer, he saw familiar gunfight scenes!

"This is?"

"This is our latest development, 'CrossFire,' which uses the LithTech engine and features a multiplayer mode..."

Kwon Hyukbin hurriedly tried to explain, but Lee Ho-young didn't need his explanation; he knew the game much better than Kwon Hyukbin!

This shooting game has been popular in the country for over a decade, with a peak of 600 million concurrent online users!

Li Haorong knew that this game was from Peninsula, but he had never been able to find it before. He never expected that it was made by such a small company!

At this moment, he already considered this company as his own!

Li Haorong played the game for a while without showing any interest, then tossed the mouse aside and said, "Isn't this just a knock-off of Counter-Strike?"

Upon hearing this, Kwon Hyukbin's expression immediately changed.

He quickly tried to explain, "It's just a borrowing; there are still differences!"

"But the gameplay is essentially the same!"

Kwon Hyuk-bin was about to continue explaining when Jang In-ah interrupted, "If Chairman Lee has any requests, please just say so!"

"To be honest, the reason I'm preparing to acquire a game company is because I plan to launch a social game on my own website!"

Your company certainly has the capability to create a shooting game like this!

"So, in this game now..."

Kwon Hyuk-bin couldn't help but say.

"How about this, you guys work on the three games I want first, finish them within a month, and then you can continue working on this one! What do you say?"

"Can!"

Ignoring Jang In-ah's constant winks, Kwon Hyuk-bin readily agreed.

"Very good. I'll offer 30 billion to acquire 80% of your company. That's not an unreasonable offer, is it?"

"make a deal!"
