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

Chapter 41: How can an acquisition be done with one's own money?

"We agreed beforehand that you would listen to me during negotiations, so why did you suddenly agree?"

Watching Li Haorong's G-Wagon drive away, Zhang Ren'e, who had been smiling the whole time, couldn't help but complain to Quan Hebin.

"He's a knowledgeable person when it comes to games, the price he offered wasn't low, and he even allowed me to continue developing 'CrossFire.' What reason did I have to refuse?"

Kwon Hyukbin's earnest explanation seemed to be accompanied by a halo of light.

The dazzling light made Zhang Ren'e think that another sun was rising in the south!

"But we could have asked for more money!"

"Is it worth offending them for that little bit of money? Didn't you notice that the little princess in the back is getting a little impatient?"

What if she doesn't sign? What will Chairman Li do? What will we do?

Upon hearing that Quan Hebin had observed such meticulous details, Zhang Ren'e couldn't help but gasp.

She had always thought that Kwon Hyuk-bin was just a tech geek who only thought about making games, but she never expected him to be so thoughtful...?

"Let's go back! Let's check on the task the president assigned us!"

"Those three games need to be developed in a month, is that really okay?"

"Those three games are all simpler than the last; we could finish them in half a month of overtime!"

Kwon Hyuk-bin said he was full of confidence in his team.

As they spoke, the two returned to the office. Seeing the expectant looks on everyone's faces, Kwon Hyuk-bin announced loudly:

"Don't worry, even though the company has been sold, I'm still the president, and I'll fight alongside you all!"

"Long live!"

Upon hearing Kwon Hyukbin's assurance, everyone raised their hands and cheered loudly.

Amid cheers, Quan Hebin sat back down in his seat and picked up a piece of paper that Li Haorong had written for him earlier:

【Mars Farm】, 【Friends Trading】, 【Parking Wars】

According to Li Haorong, while these mindless games may attract many players, he personally just doesn't enjoy them!

Kwon Hyukbin couldn't help but purse his lips.

The rise of social networking sites is inseparable from the development of social games.

Social games, unlike traditional computer games which are an end result, are more of a means to enhance social interaction and communication between people by utilizing the fun of games.

The game that Chinese people are most familiar with is Happy Farm, or QQ Farm!

This mini-game, created by Five Minutes Games in 2008, became a nationwide sensation upon its release, leading to the term "vegetable stealing" becoming a popular social slang term.

The game itself is very simple. Users play the role of a farmer who can cultivate land and grow various vegetables and fruits on the farm.

After weeding, pest control, and watering, the fruit can be harvested once it matures.

But not only can you collect it, your friends can too!

As a result, a war between those who steal vegetables and those who fight against it is being waged every moment across the country!

As a result, Kaixin.com achieved a market value of one hundred million US dollars in just one year after its establishment.

As for the other two games, "Parking Wars" and "Friends Trading," they originated on Facebook and were later widely imitated by domestic social networking sites.

【Parking Wars】is a game where you earn money by parking your car in your friend's parking space.

【Friend Trading】 allows players to buy and sell their friends as slaves. As the value of slaves changes, players can earn more cash by buying and selling friends.

If this were in the United States 20 years from now, it would probably have been washed away long ago!

The main reason Li Haorong decided to make three games at once was because he was in the peninsula and he wasn't sure which game would be more popular!

After all, the people on the peninsula are far less attached to farming than the Chinese!

-----------------

"The company's total funds are less than 50 billion, and you actually want to spend 30 billion to buy such a small company? What are you thinking?"

On the way back, Li Yinxin, who had remained silent throughout, finally spoke up and asked.

"It's quite unexpected that you managed to hold back until now!"

"Oh, you're talking to me nicely now!"

Seeing Li Yinxin get angry, Li Haorong stopped teasing her.

"We'll definitely make a profit on this deal, just trust me!"

"What about the money? Are you really going to come up with 30 billion all at once? That'll probably mean you won't even have enough to pay your employees' salaries next month!"

"Who acquires companies by paying with cash flow?"

Li Haorong's words left Li Yinxin speechless.

That's true. Doing business always involves using other people's money to run your own business.

However, knowing is one thing, being able to do it is another.

"What are you planning to do?"

When Li Yinxin asked this question, she found that Li Haorong did not answer, but kept staring at her.

"Hey, watch where you're going!"

Feeling a little uneasy under Li Haorong's gaze, Li Yinxin immediately reached out and turned Li Haorong's face to face!

An hour later, Li Yinxin and Li Haorong appeared in the VIP room of Chaoxing Bank.

"Miss... what brings you here?"

President Kim of the Seoul branch of Choheung Bank quickly walked to Lee Yoon-hyung's side and bowed deeply.

Li Yinxin got her loan through him last time!

The reason why President Jin was so respectful to her was not only because Li Yinxin was a VVVVIP of their branch, but also because of the background of Chaoxing Bank.

As the oldest bank on the Korean Peninsula, it had previously been controlled by the Kim family.

And Li Yinxin's mother, Hong Luoxi's mother, who is also Li Yinxin's maternal grandmother, came from this Jin family!

Despite the current predicament of Shinsho Bank, in 2003, the government sold its 80% stake to Shinhan Financial Group, and the merged Shinsho Bank became the second largest bank on the Korean Peninsula.

Unfortunately, due to the impact of union strikes and debt transfers, the two sides have not yet reached a final agreement.

But this doesn't prevent Li Yinxin from taking out loans. Putting aside family connections, with Li Yinxin's wealth, which bank wouldn't be eager to lend her money?

"President Jin, it's not me who's here to apply for a loan this time, it's him!"

Li Yinxin pointed to Li Haorong beside her.

"Oh, so Chairman Li wants a loan. I wonder how much he needs?"

When President Jin saw Li Haorong, his eyes lit up, but his attitude remained humble and polite.

"Is President Jin really that generous?"

Seeing President Jin's attitude, Li Haorong was somewhat surprised. When did banks become so easy to talk to?

"Chairman Li is joking. MarsNet is currently the hottest internet company on the peninsula. With your equity as collateral, getting a loan of 10 billion would be a piece of cake!"

"I see. But this time I'm not using company stock to secure the loan!"

"That is?"

President Jin asked with some doubt.

"I'll use the revenue from the Chinese distribution rights for 'KartRider' over the next three years to borrow 100 billion from you. The timeframe is three years, then!"

"Well...we need to look into that!"

President Jin hesitated, after all, he was just an ordinary bank president and knew nothing about the gaming business.

"It's alright, you can study it as much as you want, but I need to get it done quickly!"

"I'm afraid we can't expedite this; we have a major client waiting for us!"

President Jin looked troubled.

Lee Ho-yong was very curious: "Is there a bigger client than Samsung's little princess?"

Just as Li Haorong was wondering what was going on, an old man with a cane appeared at the door. Li Yinxin immediately stood up and said, "Uncle Lin, what are you doing here?"

The visitor was none other than Lim Chang-wook, Lee Jae-yong's father-in-law and one of the top ten chaebols in the peninsula.
