Lin Xiangmin acted quickly; the day after Mercury Investment was established, she transferred the funds after the contract was signed.

A total of 10 billion yuan was used to acquire a 100% stake in Mercury Investment.

It has to be said that Lim Sang-min overpaid.

However, she told Li Yinxin: It's okay, that's just part of my allowance.

Part of...

When Li Haorong heard this, he broke down, feeling that he hadn't received enough money from Lin Xiangmin!

In short, with the funds from Lee Boo-jin and Lim Sang-min arriving, Lee Ho-young once again managed to get something for nothing.

He not only holds 250 billion won, but also got a company for free.

Shortly after, Mercury Investment invested another 20 billion won in Mars Technology, acquiring a 200% stake.

Thus, without reducing his own shareholding, Lee Ho-young also allowed Mars Technology to gain 200 billion won for free.

With money in hand, Li Haorong naturally put the acquisition of Neople on his agenda.

On the day Lee Ho-young met with Lee Kun-hee, Lee Yoon-hyung, following Lee Ho-young's instructions, also went to see Lee Jae-yong and successfully obtained Samsung Electronics' permission.

In most people's minds, Samsung Electronics is mainly focused on hardware manufacturing, such as mobile phones and chips.

Samsung Electronics currently has seven divisions: Display, IT Solutions, Home Appliances, Wireless, Networking, Semiconductors, and LCD.

Although Lee Jae-yong's current position is only the executive director of the planning department, the network department has many connections with him.

Before joining Samsung Electronics, he founded more than a dozen internet companies to prove his abilities.

As it turned out, he was caught in the dot-com bubble burst, which left all these internet companies heavily indebted. In the end, it was Lee Kun-hee who stepped in, and Samsung acquired them all, allowing his son to leave gracefully.

However, this move has also led to many of these people now being department leaders in the network department, including the project team that is now distributing DNF.

During this period, Lee Jae-yong was quite well-behaved.

After his father-in-law discovered his shameful affair, he immediately cut ties with Lee Na-young.

However, the prostitute was heartless and the actress was ungrateful; Lee Na-young actually asked him for a breakup fee.

He finally managed to get rid of the woman after paying a hefty breakup fee.

With such a scandal in her hands, Lee Yoon-hyung naturally got her way when she asked Lee Jae-yong.

Therefore, acquiring Neople was a natural progression, and Mars Technology completed the acquisition of Neople in less than a week.

Once the news was reported, Mars Technology once again became the focus of attention.

The leading social networking site on the peninsula, with two game companies under its umbrella and numerous IPs, appears to be thriving.

"Juri, why do you think this is? Why did Ziyan change her mind?"

Outside the office of the president of Mars Technology, Yu Chengyan and Li Juli were chatting.

"Perhaps your sister is afraid that you'll join the company and take away her resources, so she doesn't want you to work for her?"

Lee Juri thought for a moment and then said.

"Impossible! Sister Ziyan is a very nice person. How could she possibly stop me from working at their company just because she's jealous of me?"

Yu Chengyan shook her head vigorously, quickly denying Li Juli's statement.

"Maybe she thinks acting is too hard and doesn't want you to enter this industry?"

Even Lee Juri herself didn't believe what she said.

Seeing that she couldn't get an answer from Lee Juri, she simply changed her question:

"Juri, you're so pretty, don't you want to enter the entertainment industry?"

"Yes, I want to be a rock singer, but unfortunately there aren't any record companies that do it right now! Tiger said he'd keep an eye out for me!"

Lee Juri explained.

"A rock singer? You?"

"How about it? Cool, right?"

"……cool!"

Yu Chengyan struggled for a long time before finally managing to utter this single word.

There's no way she can reconcile the rebellious rock band with the sweet Lee Qri; it just seems so incongruous.

To avoid appearing too perfunctory, Yu Chengyan continued by asking:

"Who's this 'Tiger Brother' you just mentioned?"

"The chairman's younger brother is a music producer and currently the chief producer at Cube Entertainment!"

"Huh?"

Upon hearing about this connection, Yu Chengyan's eyes widened in surprise.

So all that searching for a way to get into the entertainment industry turned out the door was right next to me?

Just as Yu Chengyan was about to continue asking questions, several people walked in from outside the company.

"Hello, we have an appointment with Chairman Li Haorong!"

Although one of them spoke Korean, Lee Qri still realized that these people didn't seem to be from the Korean Peninsula.

He stands tall with his chest out and arms crossed, looking directly into people's eyes.

She had only ever seen Li Haorong look like this before.

"Are you Mr. Zeng from Tencent?"

"It's me!"

"The president instructed me to come with you!"

As she spoke, Li Juli knocked on Li Haorong's office door and led the group of people inside.

Not long after, Lee Juri came out again and led Yoo Seung-yeon to the tea room to make tea for the guests who had come from afar.

As a cell phone rang with heavy metal rock music, Li Juli instructed Yu Chengyan beside her, "Bring in the tea you've made, I need to take this call!"

Then, Lee Juri picked up the phone and answered, "Hello, Boram? What's wrong...?"

So, Yu Chengyan took a few cups of tea and knocked on the door of the chairman's office. After entering, she smelled an awkward atmosphere in the office.

"Thank you for your hard work these past few days, Chairman Li. Let's not consider ZerA anymore; how about we talk about Dungeon Fighter Online instead?"

Tencent sent Zeng Liqing and Huang Xitong from Shenzhen to Seoul this time mainly to try to recover losses!

Despite Lee Ho-yong's previous statement against chasing ZerA, Tencent still has great faith in Nexon.

Li Haorong naturally didn't try to persuade him any further. Although it wouldn't earn as much as "Dungeon & Fighter," at least he could still earn some commission.

However, all of this came to light when ZerA was released in Korea and flopped, with a flood of negative reviews on various forums, making Tencent realize that Li Haorong was right.

Therefore, they quickly stopped the competition for the mainland China distribution rights of "ZerA" and immediately sent two people who had dealt with Lee Ho-young to Seoul to meet with him.

"What? You don't want ZerA?"

Upon hearing Li Haorong's words, the Penguin employees all showed embarrassed expressions.

"It's all our fault for not recognizing its true value; we can't compare to Chairman Li's discerning eye. We've also investigated and found that 'Dungeon & Fighter' is performing very well. We wonder what Chairman Li's conditions are?"

Having experienced a lot, Zeng Liqing was not afraid of this awkward situation at all.

"How about this: $500 million plus 35% of revenue? Can you agree to that?"

"hiss……"

Upon hearing this condition, both Zeng Liqing and Huang Xitong gasped in shock.

It has to be said that Li Haorong is very good at setting prices, and he just hit the threshold between what Penguin can and cannot accept!

"Chairman Li, 500 million isn't the problem, the issue is that this turnover is still too high!"

Regardless, 35% of the revenue means that the penguin has to bear all the risks.

Regardless, they need to give it a shot.

What followed was a long negotiation between the two sides.

Although Yu Chengyan served in the office the whole time, she couldn't understand what the two sides were saying at all.

At the same time, I couldn't help but marvel: This president may be a womanizer, but he's incredibly capable; he even understands Chinese! No wonder he's a top student from Seoul National University!
