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

Although he inexplicably lent money to his younger brother to invest in an entertainment company, fortunately the investment amount was not large and did not affect Li Haorong's subsequent plans.

Lotte Department Store Myeongdong Main Store has been a shopper's paradise since it opened in 1982.

Whether it's fashionable clothing, exquisite accessories, or local delicacies, they have it all.

Li Haorong walked in, but he was not interested in anything around him. There was only one person in his eyes, a man!

The man loitering outside the Armani store was decent-looking, but his receding hairline was quite worrying, giving him a rather unique air about him.

No matter how famous the brand, he somehow manages to look like he's wearing something from a street stall.

"Senior Quan?"

Li Haorong waved to the other party.

However, upon seeing Li Haorong, the man turned and ran away immediately, as if Li Haorong were some terrifying being!

But how could Li Haorong let the other party go? Relying on his long legs, he caught up with the person in less than ten meters.

Li Haorong pulled the other person into his arms and laughed:

"Senior Quan, why are you running?"

"Get out of here! What are you doing here again?"

The man looked at Li Haorong as if he were a jinx and began to hurl insults at him.

"Did you just get back to China and start thinking about your senior?"

I'd rather you never remember me!

"How could that be? Without you, there would be no Mars Technology as we are today. My gratitude towards you is like the Han River bursting its banks, unstoppable!"

"Let go. I'm a Nexon employee. What does your Mars Technology have to do with me?"

The other party was completely ungrateful. If he weren't weaker than Li Haorong, he could have easily broken free from Li Haodong's control.

"You're my top informant. Without your information, how could Martian technology have developed so rapidly?"

"I only gave you a few names, when did they become your informants?"

"Didn't you tell me about the internal situation of Nexon back then?"

You were the one who introduced Kong Canyu and the others to me, weren't you?

Didn't you help me contact Smile Gate?

Senior, just admit it! Your body is at Nexon, but your heart is at Mars Tech!

That's right, the man in front of us is none other than Jeon Jun-wook, the legendary Seoul National University senior who is comparable to Doraemon and has made great contributions to Mars Technology.

Hearing Lee Ho-young's words, Jeon Joon-wook was speechless, because he had indeed done all of these things!

"I was blind back then; I shouldn't have helped you!"

"Don't say that, it's too hurtful!"

What kind of feelings do we have between us?

"The bond between classmates!"

After some arguing and struggling, Jeon Jun-wook finally resigned himself to his fate and stopped struggling. Lee Ho-young took the opportunity to release him.

Although resigned to his fate, Jeon Jun-wook still couldn't help but grumble at Lee Ho-young's smug look:

"Every time you say that, I know it's not going to be good!"

"This is absolutely fantastic news! I bet you weren't happy working at Nexon either. Your undercover work is over, and you can come help me now!"

Lee Ho-young extended a sincere invitation to Jeon Jun-wook.

"Who told you I'm unhappy at Nexon?"

"With your meager salary, you'd only go out and buy designer brands when you're unhappy!"

"..."

Jeon Jun-wook fell silent. Of course, the reason he was so upset was not because Lee Ho-young had guessed his thoughts correctly, but because of what he meant by "that little bit of salary".

"I can earn 500 million a month!"

Jeon Jun-wook originally wanted to say it loudly, but when he thought that the other party was already the president of a company with a net worth of hundreds of billions of won, he immediately chickened out.

Damn it, he hates this feeling of being unable to argue or fight back!

"I'm in dire need of people right now—we're short in technology, management, and sales. Can you help me find some people? I'll take as many as you have, and bring them with you!"

"I'm a tech guy, not an HR person!"

Jeon Jun-wook said irritably.

"One million won per person, I'll personally subsidize it for you!"

"What else can I say? I have more than a dozen people here!"

Although Jeon Jun-wook agreed, his expression remained constipated.

"I knew you'd understand!"

Li Haorong patted him on the shoulder.

"I find it hard to understand why such a large sum of money is being spent!"

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

Shortly afterward, the two appeared at a Korean BBQ restaurant on the upper floor of Lotte Department Store.

The meat sizzled and dripped oil on the grill, and Li Haorong would occasionally flip it over with tongs.

"Although ZerA has been completed, it does not yet have PVP and combo modes, and its overall gameplay is not comparable to World of Warcraft!"

Can you believe that this game actually plagiarized scenes from Granado Espada?

To be honest, I'm not very optimistic about this game. I've suggested it a few times before, but the company has already invested too much money and can't stop!

If this game is lost, I'm afraid I'll be the scapegoat...

According to Jeon Jun-wook, just as Lee Ho-young had predicted, the game "ZerA" performed poorly, and its future sales are likely to be worrying.

Li Haorong was also aware of the game's importance to Nexon, so he tentatively asked the question he had prepared beforehand:

Do you think there's a high probability that Nexon's funding chain will break down?

To everyone's surprise, Jeon Jun-wook seemed to have been waiting for him to ask this question, and immediately smiled and said:

"Heh heh, you want to acquire Nexon? You're dreaming!"

Not to mention that President Kim can sell buildings to recoup losses, the revenue share from KartRider in China this year alone is enough to make Nexon recover its losses!

Hearing Jeon Jun-wook say this, Lee Ho-young was inevitably a little disappointed, but he quickly cheered up.

Come to think of it, as the largest game company in the peninsula, it has a lot of resources. Acquiring it wouldn't be that easy.

However, there's no rush. What he sets his sights on will be his sooner or later!

After learning about Nexon's current situation, Li Haorong changed his tone:

"Do you know a lot about 'DNF'? Can you find a way to get the Chinese distribution rights for it?"

Sometimes, Lee Ho-young wondered why Jeon Jun-wook, a programmer and a top student in computer science at Seoul National University, was so outstanding in everything except computer technology.

Not only can he be a headhunter, but he's also an undercover expert in the industry!

"Securing the China agency rights is far too easy for you!"

However, how about you try something big, like acquiring Neople?

"Can we win?"

Li Haorong was very surprised.

Neople is a small game company that was founded in 01 and had not produced any representative works before.

But after they made a name for themselves with "Dungeon Fighter Online" last year, they have now become a well-known game company in the peninsula, and countless eyes are watching them!

"Actually, the internal situation at Neople is not as good as you think!"

Although Dungeon & Fighter has a high market share, its ability to induce in-game purchases is not strong. Currently, its monthly revenue is just enough to break even, which is insufficient to make up for its previous investment.

In addition, they have a bank loan due next month, putting them under significant financial pressure!

Upon hearing such inside information, Li Haorong was actually quite tempted.

"There must be quite a few people who want to acquire them, right?"

"That's right, but the operation rights for Dungeon & Fighter are in the hands of Samsung Electronics."

This means that if they want to sell the company, they can't avoid involving Samsung Electronics.

After all, without "Dungeon & Fighter," their company can't sell it for a high price!

At this point, Li Haorong understood what Quan Junxu meant.

It seems that if he wants to acquire Neople this time, he will need Li Yinxin's help again. He will have to continue to live off her!
