when idols fall in love

Chapter 12 12. No appointment
Incheon Airport.

In the airport hall, Gu Heng stood tall.

Seeing a group of people coming from a distance, he took a few steps forward and bowed slightly to the middle-aged man in the middle, "Mr. Liu."

The middle-aged man is slightly fat, and the buttons of the suit jacket are somewhat difficult to cover his figure.

Judging from the appearance alone, it looks like a harmless smiling Buddha.

Of course, neither Gu Heng nor the group behind him had such thoughts in their hearts.

In the process of Gu Changzhi taking charge of Jingsheng step by step, this fat man played an extremely important role.

Seeing Gu Heng, a smile appeared on his face, "I told you that you don't need to come to the airport to pick me up, but you have to make this trip!"

Although the conversation between the two was brief, and Liu Chen hadn't even introduced Gu Heng's identity, the astute person could already hear a lot of information from it, and the way he looked at Gu Heng also quietly changed.

Gu Heng didn't argue, just smiled and said, "I've already arranged the pick-up car."

"You." Liu Chen shook his head and then nodded, then turned his face to the people behind him and said concisely, "Gu Heng, you used to work in Yunju, and now you are temporarily serving as my special assistant."

"Okay, let's go," Liu Chen motioned for the people behind him to follow without giving them any time to react.

Soon, the group left the airport and got into three cars.

After taking a seat in the car, Liu Chen looked at Gu Heng beside him, and suddenly said, "Tell me what you think?"

"Ok?"

"Since you have decided to join, you should have some ideas of your own, right? Cross-border investment is not a trivial matter, especially the asking price of Kakao is not low at all. I want to hear your opinion."

Gu Heng did not give an answer immediately, but hesitated a little.

"Huh?" Seeing his reaction, Liu Chen became interested instead, and couldn't help guessing, "It seems that you don't seem to be optimistic about this deal?"

Gu Heng nodded slightly, "At least I have reservations before formally contacting them."

"Why? As far as I know, Kakao's development in South Korea in the past two years should be considered very rapid."

"I don't deny this, but..." Gu Heng frowned, and tapped the edge of the car window with his fingers, "But their asking price and conditions obviously didn't take into account the factors that are not good for them."

"Although I have been working in the Internet industry for the past few years and believe that this industry has unlimited potential, one thing that needs to be kept in mind is that we cannot ignore the basic business laws because of our own expectations for the concept of [Internet]. Kakao The current business situation is not optimistic.”

Liu Chen pondered for a while, neither agreeing nor disapproving, but said, "If there are no accidents, we should see that Mr. Jin Fanxiu today and take a look. Be careful."

He brought people here this time for the purpose of negotiation and investigation.

Gu Heng nodded slightly, "Okay."

Seocho District.

Several cars stopped slowly in front of the tall building.

Gu Heng opened the car door.

The sunlight outside the car was a little harsh, making him squint his eyes subconsciously.

Although unlike most well-known companies in South Korea, Kakao's headquarters is not located in Seoul, but is located in Jeju-do.

But in any case, Seoul is the economic core of the entire South Korea, and Kakao still has a corresponding office here.

That is, the tall building in front of me.

As the car door opened, several people in suits walked over quickly not far away.

After a brief meeting, a man about forty years old came to Liu Chen, bowed deeply, and said in some broken Chinese, "Hello, Mr. Liu! I'm Nan Zhuren, welcome to Kakao Company!"

Liu Chen smiled and nodded at him.

But obviously this person has only learned such a sentence of Chinese, and the next communication still needs to be handed over to the translators of both parties.

Led by the person responsible for welcoming them, Liu Chen and his team quickly entered Kakao's company building.

Gu Heng silently followed Liu Chen's side, looking at this company that has gained such a reputation just a few years after its establishment.

In South Korea today, the social software Kakao talk launched by this young company has occupied many people's mobile phones with free communication in just a few years.

If random street interviews are done now, Kakao should be one of the most well-known companies.

Under the guidance of Nan Zhuren, a group of people walked through the company's office area and came outside a conference room.

Before Nan Zhuren could speak, the door of the meeting room was opened from the inside.

Several people in suits came out.

But the leader was not the Kakao founder Jin Fanxiu that Liu Chen and Gu Heng had envisioned, but a thin man in his thirties.

Liu Chen and Gu Heng looked at each other, and they both frowned slightly.

Perhaps sensing the thoughts of the two, the thin man quickly walked up to Liu Chen and stretched out his hand first.
"Hello, Mr. Liu, I'm Lin Zhixun, the person in charge of the investment, financing, mergers and acquisitions business department of kakao corp. Mr. Kim Bum-soo was supposed to receive him in person today, but he couldn't come over due to some unexpected problems in the Jeju-do headquarters. I'm really sorry !"

Gu Heng's doubts eased slightly.

As far as he knows, unlike the complicated administrative system of most companies in South Korea, in Kakao, a young company, there are only three levels: CEO, minister and team member.

In other words, at least Lin Zhixun barely passed the level, although he still seemed very rude.

However, Jin Fanxiu failed to show up today. Is it really like what he said, is there a temporary situation in the headquarters?
His eyes flicked over the fine sweat on the foreheads of the people behind Lin Zhixun, and Gu Heng's doubts that had been temporarily suppressed quietly resurfaced.

But it was obviously not the time to care about these things at this time, so he whispered a few words in Liu Chen's ear.

Liu Chen nodded slightly to express his understanding, smiled and held Lin Zhixun's palm, "Then I will trouble Minister Lin today."

In any case, this kind of business will not produce results in a short period of time, and he still has enough time to conduct his own observations on this company and Kim Bum-soo.

Lin Zhixun was greatly relieved by Liu Chen's statement, and the smile on his face became brighter.

No one knows better than him how much the current company needs a sufficient amount of financing, and for some reason, among the companies that can provide this amount of funds, this Huaxia company named Jingsheng is the best one of the options
With this handshake, the atmosphere became much more harmonious in the following time.

Lin Zhixun led Liu Chen, Gu Heng and his party through various areas of Kakao, while introducing them to the company's achievements in recent years.

There are naturally some exaggerated elements in Lin Zhixun's words, but even if these moistures are removed, the growth rate of this company is still amazing.

Gu Heng listened carefully, answering some questions raised by Liu Chen in a low voice from time to time.

Time passed quietly.
