Interior of the conference room.

"We cannot accept the price of 3.6 million preferred shares for US$60 million. This is completely beyond your company's valuation range."

"But Minister Ho, you need to consider that Kakaotalk's user share has exceeded 80% in the entire South Korean region. The huge market represented by this should also be part of the value assessment, and we have begun to explore the profit model."

Gu Heng tapped the table and interrupted the other party's words.

"Minister Liu, we both know the huge number of Kakaotalk users, otherwise we wouldn't have the chance to meet in this conference room, right?"

"But unfortunately, in this growth in user volume, we don't seem to see any appropriate business model. Kakao lost more than 15 billion won last year alone, more than three times that of the previous year. What about this year?"

Looking directly at the man opposite the long table, Gu Heng asked, "How long will the $60 million be enough for Kakao to burn? Do you want Jingsheng to take the so-called preferred stock and watch the investment be squandered by you?"

"Either reduce the price per share or make adjustments to the nature of the authority. If you are unwilling to give in, then our negotiations will continue to be consumed ineffectively for a long time."

Gu Heng put down his pen and ended his words.

Looking at the bearded man in his forties and sitting casually on the head of the long table, he frowned slightly.

Such negotiations have been conducted several times in the past week.

Although this is a process of testing each other's bottom line price code, the current progress is indeed too slow.

Kim Fanxiu appears once every now and then, but she rarely speaks, so it is difficult for Gu Heng to guess what this person thinks for a while.

Negotiation and discussion in the conference room continue.

It was not until noon that it came to an end temporarily.

Jin Fanxiu stood up and nodded to everyone in the conference room, indicating that she left the venue first.

Gu Heng glanced at his departure back and lowered his head to pack up his own materials and documents.

"Assistant Gu, if you don't mind, stay here for lunch?"

Looking back at Lin Zhixun with a smile on his face, Gu Heng raised his eyebrows and asked with a chuckling, "Minister Lin treats to him?"

After several meetings and negotiations, the company's business has not been much promoted. The relationship between the two, who are only ten years old, is much more familiar with each other, and they are quite sympathetic.

"Swipe the card in the company canteen and you will be full." Lin Zhixun raised the card in his hand.

"Minister Lin is so generous to his friends."

Gu Heng collected the documents, and the two left the conference room and headed towards Kakao Corp's cafeteria.

Lin Zhixun walked in front and led the way, and company employees greeted him from time to time.

After simply asking for two lunches, they found a corner to sit down.

Gu Heng tried the taste of curry pork willow rice, which was unexpectedly good.

“Taste is great.”

“That’s natural.”

"Minister Lin seems to be very popular in the company." Gu Heng asked casually.

"It's just that I do more things in my daily life, so there are more people who recognize me." Lin Zhixun's face was not as complacent.

"Just said just now, Kakao is already exploring new ways of making profits. In addition to the ongoing acceptance of advertising and paid expressions, is there any other determined new direction?"

"Um?"

"Otherwise, Mr. Jin Fanxiu wouldn't be able to sit so much, right?" Gu Heng's tone was casual, as if he was chatting with friends.

"It's still being discussed within the company." Lin Zhixun's words were very cautious.

Seeing Lin Zhixun’s agreement, Gu Heng tapped the desktop a few times with his fingertips, “Why let me guess. Game?”

Lin Zhixun looked at him and became surprised.

"I just suddenly remembered that Mr. Jin Fanxiu started out with games, so I guessed this way." Gu Heng explained briefly.

"Not everyone will guess that."

After clicking until the two of them no longer go deeper into this topic and turn to normal chat.

"Assistant Gu, next time you can try another window of the free beef rice. The new chef's skills are really good."

"Minister Lin, you don't really plan to treat me to the cafeteria all the time, are you?"

"Haha, I'm rude. Well, next time, I'll ask Assistant Gu to go to Myeongdong next time. There's a ginseng chicken soup that's pretty good."

"This is barely enough friends." Gu Heng smiled.

"It's a pity that I didn't have a chance to go to China and ask me to have dinner."

"Minister Lin can change jobs to Jingsheng, I will sweep the bed to greet you." Gu Heng said half-jokingly.

"Are you sure you want to say such things in Kakao's company building?" Lin Zhixun leaned back with a smile.

He was about to continue saying something to Gu Heng, but his eyes happened to see a figure in the distance.

He was slightly stunned, not knowing what he thought of, he subconsciously glanced at Gu Heng, raised a subtle smile on the corner of his mouth, and suddenly said,

"Recently, the company is planning to find young idols to be spokespersons."

"Idol endorsement? Young people should like it. Investment in this area is always inevitable. But do you still care about this?"

"I heard from the advertising department that people mentioned it," Lin Zhixun smiled, "You should know more about idol stars at your age, right?"

Gu Heng subconsciously thought of Li Zhien, the one who gave him a headache at home, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It doesn't matter if you understand it."

"Hmm? Didn't you hear Nam Joo-in say that you and Lin Yuna from Girls' Generation seem to have a good relationship? You were standing together and chatting a few days ago."

"Hmm?" Gu Heng paused for a moment before realizing what he was saying.

"Yeah, that's a friend."

He was a little confused about how to define his relationship with that girl Lin Yuner.

"I'm really a friend, then I'll feel relieved," Lin Zhixun nodded and waved to the distance, "Minister Huang! Come here to have dinner together!"

"Hmm? What to put"

Gu Heng said as he turned his face and looked at Lin Zhixun's waving.

His voice came to an abrupt end as he saw the three figures coming towards them.

However, Lin Zhixun did not notice Gu Heng's abnormality. He smiled at the leader and said, "Haha, I saw you three just now."

"I originally thought not to disturb you, but suddenly I thought that Gu Heng and Miss Lin Yuner seemed to be friends, so it was pretty good for us to have a meal together. You said, right, Gu Heng?"

Lin Zhixun, who thought he had a good organizational role, looked at Gu Heng with a gloomy face.

Looking at Lin Yuner who appeared at this moment for some reason, the smile on Gu Heng's face was really a bit reluctant.

"Yeah, it's really good."

Ask yourself, if he was asked to choose the person he was most reluctant to face at this moment, the girl with an inexplicable smile on her lips in front of him would become his unquestionable answer.

It's too late to come back from get out of class today. Chapter 2 will be a little late to come out.
