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

Chapter 84 Lee Boo-jin's Questioning

Time is like a man who has passed thirty-four; it ends before he is ready.

Before we knew it, it was already mid-May, and the summer atmosphere was getting stronger and stronger, with a restless energy permeating the air.

As the World Cup draws ever closer, almost the entire world's attention is now focused on it.

Especially for the people of the peninsula, who just created a miracle four years ago, they naturally want to go even further this time!

In an instant, the entire peninsula was engulfed in the ocean of the World Cup.

Mars Technology was no exception; World Cup elements were everywhere in the company, which made Yu Chengyan, who had little interest in football, feel helpless and had the illusion of being abandoned by the world.

During this time, Yu Chengyan has become accustomed to working at Mars Technology.

To her surprise, Li Haorong didn't seem to be interested in her at all.

This relieved her, but also left her feeling somewhat resentful.

I'm not bad-looking myself, so why hasn't the president ever been interested in me?

Women sometimes have such double standards. Like some struggling authors, they worry that their books will be on Biquge, but they are even more afraid that their books won't be on Biquge!

Yu Chengyan skillfully carried the tea into the conference room and placed the teacup on Li Haorong's desk. She glanced up at the PPT on the opposite wall and was surprised to see that it was also about the World Cup.

"The theme of our website this time is 'The Most Beautiful Football Babes World Cup'!"

We plan to invite 108 actresses, female celebrities, and female artists to upload photos of themselves as football babes, and then let netizens vote for them. The winner with the most votes will become the most beautiful football babe.

At the conference table, Park Jung-hyuk was giving a fluent report, while Lee Ho-young across from him looked serious with a furrowed brow.

This made Park Jung-hyuk increasingly unsure of himself. Could it be that the chairman was not satisfied?

Today, Mars Technology is a medium-sized internet company with over 6 employees spanning six departments.

Park Jung-hyuk also serves as the head of both the marketing and planning departments, making him a highly influential figure in the company.

But in front of Lee Ho-young, Park Jung-hyuk was always humble, polite, and uneasy.

Actually, Park Jung-hyuk was overthinking it.

Li Haorong's frown at this moment was a sign of regret for the World Cup!

Although he didn't follow the World Cup in his previous life, he would occasionally watch a few matches.

However, the 2006 World Cup was too long ago, and apart from remembering Zidane headbutting his opponent in the final, which led to France's loss, he had no other impressions.

This prevents him from buying footballs even if he wants to!

Oh, what a pity! I missed the chance to earn some pocket money!

"President, is there anything else you'd like to add?"

Faced with Park Jung-hyuk's question, Lee Ho-young finally came to his senses and realized that everyone in the conference room was looking at him.

"Ahem, that's a bit lacking!"

"Of course, we can't possibly be as thorough as the president. Please, president, show us how we should change."

Damn it!

Park Jung-hyuk's words undoubtedly put him in a difficult position. In fact, Lee Ho-young had been distracted and hadn't heard a word Park Jung-hyuk said.

Fortunately, there was a PPT on the wall. Then Li Haorong saw Yu Chengyan next to him and immediately had an idea: "Relying solely on celebrities is too narrow-minded. It's impossible to mobilize all users. At most, it's just a repeat of last year's boy group voting."

This time, since we're selecting football babes, we'll expand the selection pool!

Don't limit yourself to celebrities; let ordinary people participate too. For example, I think Assistant Yu is a great example—all she needs is a photo of herself as a soccer babe to enter!

"Great idea! The president's suggestion is truly insightful!"

As soon as Lee Ho-young finished speaking, Park Jung-hyuk immediately chimed in.

It has to be said that Park Jung-hyuk's flattery skills have now reached a level of perfection that is in no way inferior to Lee Ho-young's; he can come up with such words as soon as he opens his mouth.

Everyone in the office was already used to his habits and chose to ignore them, including Li Haorong.

"Is there anything else?"

"Yes, recently, with TVXQ's concert in Japan, many Japanese fans have registered on our Mars website!"

Although Park Yoochun's popularity suffered a blow last year, TVXQ's popularity was not significantly affected and is now soaring in Japan.

On the Korean Peninsula, fans have much lower expectations for male celebrities than for female celebrities!

Upon hearing this news, Li Haorong's eyes lit up: "How many?"

"Probably over 10 users!"

"This reminds me! The market on the peninsula is still too small. We need to expand outwards, and it's time to put our entry into Japan on the agenda!"

"Technology Department, please launch a Japanese language version of the website as soon as possible. Even if we don't have the resources to go to Japan right now, we need to retain these fans first!"

"no problem!"

When Kong Canyu saw Li Haorong looking at him, he nodded in response.

This guy doesn't talk much, but he seems very reliable.

In fact, it's not a big deal; it just means staying up a few more nights.

Kong Canyu has long been molded into Li Haorong's shape, and now he even thinks that staying up all night is a blessing!

"Alright, what's the next topic?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jeon Jun-wook stood up.

Since joining Mars Technology, he has served as the head of the gaming department.

Although this department is essentially a shell company and doesn't produce any games, it manages two game companies.

"According to the financial report provided by The9, as of yesterday, KartRider's revenue in China has exceeded 150 million RMB, and we expect our revenue to exceed 1 billion Korean Won by the end of May!"

As a newly released game, KartRider's revenue in China has truly astonished everyone.

Is this the size of mainland China?

"Well, it's barely passable!"

However, Li Haorong did not seem satisfied with such returns, as no one on the entire peninsula understood the Chinese market better than him!

"Is there anything else?"

"Yes, the combined revenue of the three social games has now exceeded 5 million Korean won."

Although the operation rights for "Dungeon & Fighter" have been sold to Tencent, Tencent has not yet started operating the game and has not yet generated any revenue.

However, news has come from Tencent that they will begin internal testing after the World Cup, which will likely cost a lot of money by the end of the year!

Today's meeting mainly focuses on summarizing the past, discussing the present, and envisioning the future.

As the meeting came to a close, Li Haorong gave his final remarks: "That concludes today's meeting!"

I need to remind everyone that although our company is doing better and better now, it doesn't mean we can rest on our laurels and live off our past achievements!

Instead, we should seize this opportunity to strive to grow and expand the company.

For an internet company like ours, speed and time are our only competitive advantages. Everyone must be on high alert and work hard to keep Mars Technology alive!

Li Haorong didn't know how many people present would listen to his words before the meeting ended, but if some people didn't, that would probably be the time for them to leave Mars Technology.

After the meeting, everyone left, but Li Haorong didn't move until Yu Chengyan quietly approached him: "Chairman, President Li is waiting for you in Representative Li's office!"

"Which President Li?"

Li Haorong was slightly taken aback.

"President Lee Boo-jin!"

Upon hearing this name, Li Haorong suddenly realized why Li Yinxin had left the meeting midway through.

"Walk!"

Li Haorong immediately got up and went to Li Yinxin's office.

Knock on the door and enter. Inside, a pair of beautiful sisters are chatting and laughing.

"I was wondering why there were magpies chirping this morning. What wind blew you here, Fu-jin-nee?"

Lee Ho-young immediately put on a smile and welcomed Lee Boo-jin.

Before Lee Boo-jin could even speak, Lee Yoon-hyung gloated, "Hehe, my older sister is here to confront you!"
