My capital is quite large.

After resolving Han Geng's contract issues, Lee Soo-man, the founder of SM Entertainment, naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity to curry favor with such a generous and lavish patron.

That evening, Lee Soo-man booked a private room at an upscale Korean restaurant in Seoul and hosted a lavish banquet for Lee Bong.

During the meal, top-quality Korean sake was constantly being poured, and several hot Korean female companions served it attentively.

Li Feng, holding his wine glass, responded to Li Xiuman's flattery with little interest.

He personally flew to South Korea today not only to resolve the issues with the gala, but also for another purpose.

Li Feng turned his head and winked at Zhang Xinyu beside him.

Zhang Xinyu immediately understood, turned to look at the senior Korean translator sitting next to her, and asked in a seemingly casual tone:

"By the way, I heard that a game company in South Korea called Bluehole is doing quite well lately? Our CEO, Mr. Lee, is also quite interested in the South Korean game industry. Could you tell me about the current situation of this company?"

Upon hearing this, the translator quickly and respectfully bowed to Li Feng, then reported to his supervisor with a face full of pride:

"President Lee, your information network is truly impressive! Bluehole Studios is currently riding high in South Korea! They just secured huge investments from several major conglomerates and are now fully engaged in developing a next-generation MMORPG masterpiece called TERA!"

"Moreover, they're about to launch a new game called 'Devil's Contract,' and its valuation keeps doubling!"

Unrivaled in popularity? Full-scale development of a blockbuster?

Upon hearing the translator's description, Li Feng secretly shook his head, abandoning the idea of ​​acquiring Blue Hole right now.

"It seems the time isn't right yet."

As a reborn individual, he was well aware of Bluehole's development trajectory over the past few years.

These South Koreans are currently at the peak of blind confidence, burning through investors' money everywhere.

If you were to try to acquire Bluehole outright at this time, they would definitely ask for an exorbitant price.

But Li Feng knew what a Waterloo Bluehole's next game, "Devil's Contract," would suffer! It would be a complete and utter failure!

Probably in three or four years, when the massive losses from "Devil's Contract" cause Bluehole Studio's funding to dry up and bring it to the brink of bankruptcy...

That would be the real opportunity to buy at the bottom!

At that time, he won't need to buy the bloated parent company Krafton at all. He can use just a fraction of what he has now to bring the entire Bluehole Studio and the core development team of PUBG under his control!

"Korean games these days are really not worth watching." Li Feng snapped out of his thoughts, picked up his sake, took a sip, and found it utterly tasteless.

After a few rounds of drinks, Lee Soo-man noticed that Lee Feng didn't seem very interested in the gaming industry, so he immediately moved closer.

"President Lee, since you're so interested in South Korea's entertainment culture, how about we expand our cooperation in artist management?"

Lee Soo-man's face was plastered with a fawning yet knowledgeable smile as he subtly lowered his voice, "If you're interested in girl groups, as long as the price is right... we can also discuss transferring or having a deep collaboration with Girls' Generation, which our company just launched recently. These girls are currently the top in Asia..."

Upon hearing the name Girls' Generation, Zhang Xinyu, standing behind Li Feng, frowned almost imperceptibly.

Girls' Generation? A South Korean girl group?

Li Feng sneered inwardly.

Do you really think he's a rich fool with nowhere to spend his money?

In this tiny island where conglomerates hold absolute power, the resource exchanges and power-for-sex deals that those girl group members who manage to debut successfully go through are utterly appalling!

Anything that can be pushed to the forefront and become popular has basically been ruined by those old South Korean chaebols long ago!

Not to mention those identical surgically enhanced faces! They're constantly getting fillers and bone shaving, it's enough to make people with face blindness suffer.

Li Feng, a billionaire internet tycoon, could have any kind of woman he wanted. Why would he need to come all the way to South Korea to collect the leftover trash from these conglomerates?!

"I appreciate President Li's kindness."

Li Feng didn't even bother with the slightest bit of politeness. "However, I have absolutely no interest in girl groups. I have rather traditional tastes and can't appreciate those overly futuristic faces."

These words made Lee Soo-man's face turn somewhat awkward, but he still managed to hold back his temper, after all, the person in front of him was a super patron who had just casually spent ten million.

"However..."

"If President Lee really wants to do business, I am somewhat interested in some of the Chinese trainees in your company."

In Li Feng's mind, several figures who would dominate the domestic entertainment industry's traffic in the next few years came to mind.

Since we're already here, we might as well snatch it up beforehand.

"Like that guy named Lu, and that man. Name your price, I want to take these people back to China."

However, this time, Lee Soo-man put away his obsequious demeanor.

"Mr. Li, I'm afraid that won't work."

"Luhan and several other Chinese trainees are the absolute core of our company's brand new boy group, which we are currently secretly preparing! They are our trump card and center position for opening up the Chinese market in the future!"

"These promising talents are the lifeblood of SM Entertainment's future. No matter the price, we will absolutely not sell them!"

Hearing this crisp and decisive rejection, Li Feng raised an eyebrow.

That old fox has a sharp eye for people; he knows these individuals have immeasurable future commercial value, yet he stubbornly refuses to budge.

If it were another project, Li Feng might have used his financial power to create an opening.

But would he really risk a bloody battle with these local bullies for a few male celebrities? He certainly wouldn't waste his money on that.

Feeling bored, Li Feng stood up and picked up the suit jacket draped over the back of the chair.

"Since President Li is reluctant to part with it, let's call it a night."

Ignoring his several South Korean female companions who were still striking seductive poses, Li Feng waved to Zhang Xinyu and said, "Xinyu, book the next available flight back to China."

"Okay, boss." Zhang Xinyu immediately followed.
