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

Chapter 87 Traveling to the Peninsula to Attract Investment

At Incheon International Airport, Wang Xing and Lai Binqiang dragged their suitcases and followed the flow of people out, looking bewildered.

Despite having studied in the United States, this is Wang Xing's first time visiting Peninsula!

Even now, it still feels like a dream to him!

To be honest, Wang Xing and the others were a bit dumbfounded when they heard that Peninsula Capital wanted to invest in their website.

In the eyes of Chinese internet entrepreneurs of this era, America is the holy land of the internet, where the original versions of almost every domestic website can be found.

peninsula?

That place has good chips, good Korean dramas, and good idol groups, but does anyone there even understand the internet?

However, after making inquiries around, they discovered that Mercury Investment was no ordinary company!

Although this private equity fund management company was established less than three months ago, it has a very deep background.

The boss is the chairman of Peninsula Mars Technology, and the shareholders have backgrounds with Samsung Group and Daesang Group.

With two peninsula conglomerates serving this small company, how could the company be anything but good?

In addition, the two also discovered for the first time that the boss, named Li Haorong, also ran a social networking site called Mars.net.

After studying MarsNet, they even felt that their own Renren.com was as crude as a child's.

After seeing MarsNet's operating model and profit model, the group was moved to tears and filled with regret.

If they had known there was a ready-made answer here, they would have just copied it directly. They wouldn't have been forced to sell the company.

It's said that heroes appreciate each other, and at this moment, Wang Xing and his group of science and engineering students also became curious about the president of Mars Technology:

What kind of genius is this, to create a website that surpasses Facebook!

Indeed, in their eyes, MarsNet today surpasses Facebook in both user experience and operating model!

"Old Wang, look over there!"

Lai Binqiang, with his sharp eyes, spotted the large sign in the crowd that was there to pick them up. It read in Chinese:

[Online campus network, Wang Xing, Lai Binqiang]

These few Chinese characters stand out conspicuously among the Korean and English words.

Wang Xing led Lai Binqiang to the man and said, "Hello, I'm Wang Xing!"

"Hello, I am Chen Jianxiong from Mercury Investment."

Wang Xing was speaking in English, but the other person replied in Chinese.

"Your Chinese is very good?"

"I'm also Chinese, and I'm from the same hometown as you!"

"What a coincidence! You're from Fujian too?"

Although Mercury Investment is a shell company, it has the basic requirements such as an office address and staff.

Considering that Mercury Investments invests mostly in the Chinese market, Li Haorong specifically recruited several Chinese people on the peninsula who were fluent in both Chinese and Korean. Chen Jianxiong was one of them.

As they were talking, Chen Jianxiong led the two men to a Mercedes parked on the side of the road outside.

Since Mercury Investment caters to investors or investees, the cars they receive are naturally of a higher standard than those from Mars Technology.

As for why Mercedes-Benz was chosen?

Because it doesn't get traffic jams!

The two were taken to the Shilla Hotel and stayed there. Mercury Investments treated them quite well.

"Please rest assured, our president will personally come to the hotel to see you tomorrow!"

"We should be the ones seeing Chairman Li, not the other way around!"

Upon hearing Chen Jianxiong's words, Wang Xing quickly replied.

"You've misunderstood. The chairman is coming to see President Lee of the Shilla Hotel tomorrow, and he'll be using the hotel's conference room to meet with you!"

Upon hearing that the person hadn't come specifically to see him, Wang Xing felt embarrassed but also thought it made perfect sense. After all, how could such an important person come specifically to see him?

But what did Chen Jianxiong mean by "you guys" at the end?

Originally, when communicating with Mercury Investment, both parties agreed to a private meeting, and Lai Binqiang was just accompanying him.

Are they going to meet together?

The next day, Wang Xing put on a handsome suit, and his hair looked like that of an adult even without combing it.

When the two arrived at the conference room door, they discovered that they were not the only ones waiting to be received in the lounge.

Now Wang Xing finally understood what "you all" meant!

"Isn't that Gong Haiyan from Jiayuan.com?"

After the two found a place to sit down, Lai Binqiang asked Wang Xing in a low voice.

"I don't know him, but that's Yao Jinbo from 58.com. I've met him before!"

There were at least four or five groups of people present, all of whom looked like the owners of Huaxia Internet.

"Are they all here to seek investment?"

"It seems so!"

Wang Xing felt a little heavy-hearted for a moment.

Just then, the conference room door opened, and Zhang Tao, the founder of Dianping, walked out.

Seeing his beaming face and the barely suppressed smile, you could tell that he had made the deal.

Now, Wang Xing felt a chill in his heart again.

Investors' money doesn't come from thin air; they can't invest in every project.

Once they invest in other websites, the likelihood of them investing in their own decreases.

"Mr. Gong from Jiayuan.com? Please come in!"

Chen Jianxiong, who received Wang Xing yesterday, continues to act as a receptionist.

Upon hearing the sound, Gong Haiyan quickly walked into the conference room.

And so, time flew by in anxious waiting.

After waiting for nearly an hour, Chen Jianxiong finally arrived in front of Wang Xing.

"Mr. Wang, please come in!"

"Thanks!"

Wang Xing quickly got up and took the investment proposal that Lai Binqiang handed him.

I remember when he first went to Sequoia Capital for investment, he actually left the investment proposal in the taxi and had to make another one on the spot.

As it turns out, Zhou Hongyi was dissatisfied with the investment proposal, which is why he suggested that Sequoia Capital reject him!

This time, he was very well prepared; it took the rest of them two whole days to complete it.

Pushing open the meeting room door, there were only three people inside.

One of them is the famous Samsung heiress Lee Boo-jin, whom Wang Xing had seen in the news. She is accompanied by a young girl, who is probably the translator.

As for sitting in the very center, it was Li Haorong, the president of Mars Technology, who was even younger than himself.

"Hello, Chairman Li, President Li!"

"Hello, Mr. Wang!"

Upon seeing Wang Xing enter, Li Haorong immediately stood up and shook hands with him.

Regardless of his attitude, his fluent Chinese speech instantly stunned Wang Xing.

Wang Xing had inquired beforehand and knew that Li Haorong was good at Chinese.

But when I experienced it firsthand, I was still amazed. It was even more accurate than my own Mandarin, which is spoken by a Fujianese person!

After exchanging pleasantries, Wang Xing had barely settled onto the sofa when he eagerly handed his investment proposal to Li Haorong: "Chairman Li, this is my investment proposal. Please take a look!"

However, after receiving the document, Lee Ho-young handed it directly to Lee Boo-jin without even looking at it.

Lee Boo-jin, on the other hand, opened it and found that it was a bilingual Korean and English version, so she read it carefully.

Li Haorong was even more direct, asking Wang Xing directly, "If I invest some money in you, what are your plans afterward?"

Wang Xing was initially disappointed that Li Haorong hadn't even looked at the investment book.

But when he heard Li Haorong's question, he immediately perked up. He knew that this was the time to test him!

Whether we can secure investment or not depends on this one move!
