Naver is the largest search engine in South Korea and the largest video website. It is the fifth largest in the world. It accounts for 77% of the Korean search market, which is almost equivalent to Baidu in Chinese and Google in English. Whenever there is any news about Korean pop stars, they say that "is on the search ranking". If there is no special reference, they are talking about Naver. Of course, if they are specifically referring to it, it doesn't make any sense, because except for Naver's search ranking, other rankings are not recognized.

However, the value of Naver is far more than that. At the beginning of the new millennium, Naver merged with Hangame, the largest market share in the Korean gaming industry, into the model of the Korean Internet ruling company nhn and Hangame, which is basically equal to China's Tencent. The merger of these two giants officially opened the era of Korean Internet information domination.

If this is in China or the United States, this kind of confluence is basically impossible, because it involves the category of "anti-monopoly", but because this is South Korea and South Korea has Samsung, all this seems so natural.

What is the reason?

In fact, the two founders of Naver and Hangame were both employees of Samsung. They both benefited from Samsung’s “future business incubation plan”. Simply put, it is similar to venture capital in Silicon Valley in the United States. Employees who perform their duties in Samsung can freely develop and start businesses on the premise of completing their own work and apply for Samsung’s loans. If they are confirmed to be valuable, Samsung will also provide support within all channels.

Although these companies do not have Samsung shares on the books, if you study it carefully, the shareholders of these companies are usually inseparable from Samsung. Simply put, if you find that this 'ceo' is out of control, then Samsung can remove this ceo through its controlling shareholders as soon as possible. Unfortunately, Naver's founder Li Haizhen has been removed several times until he realized that he was no match for Samsung and gave up resistance before returning to the company he founded.

There is a saying in the world that South Korea's economy is basically equal to Samsung. This is definitely not just a saying. Samsung's tentacles have already extended to various fields without real estate, from aerospace, real estate, to tables, chairs, benches, toothpicks and toilet paper. They are all the shadows of Samsung. They are terrifying to think about it carefully, and this is almost the same.

Liu Yi’s ability to invest in Naver this time is actually an extension of his cooperation with Samsung’s super battery. Samsung’s strategy has always been very pragmatic. When it realizes that Liu Yi’s technology cannot be obtained through other ways, including some “extraordinary means”, it will spare no expense to win over Liu Yi. It is said that Samsung has a department that specializes in “human nature”. They will formulate a professional strategy to please you and flatter you invisibly. The cleverness is that even if you know his purpose, it will be difficult for you to refuse, because it provides everything you want.

For example, this time, Liu Yi did not have any ambitions for the Internet, but now with Girls' Generation Studio, celebrities need exposure, and Naver, who controls this portal, is undoubtedly the most suitable partner. Cooperation is two hearts. If you have shares, it is one heart. Such a cooperation that is almost non-destructive and without conflicts of interest, Liu Yi has no reason to refuse.

What is a little embarrassed is that Liu Yi did not sign the cooperation agreement and did not participate in the ribbon cutting activity. They were all Yoona. This also revealed a signal to the outside world that Yoona is my woman, and you can’t give her what I can give her.

The naked and domineering CEO style is overbearing but unsolvable. The reason is very simple. There are people who can give Yoona the same thing. But they won’t invest so much in an ‘idol’. Like Musk, who regards Hollywood female stars as call girls. Will he give tens of millions of dollars in stocks to a Korean pop star? Of course not.

And those who love Yoona are willing to give everything, they can give everything. Perhaps not even one percent of these shares.

This is the attitude Liu Yi wants to show to those who covet Yoona, ican.uant, so Yoona belongs to me, not you.

Yoona became the focus of the cocktail party at the end of the ceremony. It was difficult for the men to get close to her, and their female companions played a role. Yoona was soon surrounded by the "famous ladies" in Seoul. Anyone, at least the wife of the vice president, was not accessible to such people in the past, but now, their tone of speaking is a bit "flattering". This feeling is very magical, which makes Yoona feel a little vanity.

The more ‘upper’ society is, the more tolerant he will be tolerant of Liu Yi and Yoona. In the so-called upper society, no one cares about who has a few men or women, and everyone’s eyes are all about benefits. The world is all about profit. This sentence is reflected in the higher social group.

There were not many people around Liu Yi who came to flatter him because in this level of cocktail party, there were actually very few people who could talk to him in an equal manner, and at this time they were surrounded by people at the pyramid at a lower price.

Liu Yi sat in the corner and watched coldly, and suddenly felt it was boring. In this society, people at the bottom wanted to join the upper class, while people at the top wanted to enter the upper class, and the upper class wanted to be aristocrats. Everyone was trying their best to climb up, but 98% of them ignored the reality that they had not enjoyed their lives well.

Liu Yi suddenly realized that he was also in this vortex. He wanted to escape, but at this moment he made a decision. This decision seemed stupid, but it was what he wanted now.

"Mr. Liu Yi, please forgive me for not receiving well." A fat middle-aged man came over. He was the representative of Samsung who participated in the super battery negotiations earlier, Lee Kun-hee's nephew, Lee Jae-jun. He is one of the backbone forces of the Samsung family's generation. He is essentially responsible for the main business of Samsung Electronics and is considered a relatively powerful young man.

Liu Yi's contact with Samsung Group was mostly through him as a microphone.

"Hello, Zai Junxi." Liu Yi picked up the wine glass and signaled, taking a sip of the wine. Li Zai Jun drank it all and sat next to him. His fat body was like a moving ball. Ordinary people sat in a steady chair, completely covered by his wide buttocks and disappeared.

Li Zaijun gurgled at his little eyes and smiled, "Liu Yii. I heard that you have met Elon Musk. Please forgive me for taking the liberty. Can I know his purpose?"

"Well, I've seen it." Liu nodded and said, "But I don't seem to have the obligation to tell you this."

"Of course, of course." Li Zaijun said hurriedly, choking, a little embarrassed, Li Zaijun grinned. He changed his tone and said, "Mr. Liu Yi, I just want you to know that our Samsung Electronics is your best partner. Our strength and our foundation are much stronger than you see. Our channels can make your super batteries popular all over the world quickly. This is a revolution in the battery field!"

Li Zaijun wanted to say something else, Liu Yi waved his hand and interrupted him and asked: "Can your strength in aviation, automobiles, diving equipment and other fields surpass Tesla?"

"Uh..." Li Zaijun was speechless. In front of an expert, Samsung Electronics paid more attention to stability and infrastructure construction. In fact, in this high-tech field, it has always been a state of fart behind Western countries, but the art of speaking lies in this. He did not admit that his technology was not good, but said tactfully: "If you have your super battery, we are confident that we will surpass Tesla in a short period of time."

Liu Yi smiled and said, "To be honest, in my eyes, you and Tesla have their own strengths, and I only cooperate with the top partners. The cake is too big and one person can't finish it. If you insist on eating it, you will easily be overwhelmed. You can think about it. If all the applications of super battery are on Samsung, how much pressure will you bear? I am happy to cooperate with Samsung. I can give you a larger piece of cake, but you can't be too greedy. Do you understand what I mean?"

Lee Jae-jun thought for a while and said bitterly: "I can't make the decision. My mission is to seek greater benefits for Samsung..."

"Think about it. I believe Samsung's senior executives have wise people."

After Liu Yi finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards Yoona. The ladies dispersed automatically. Liu Yi bowed apologetically and left the venue with Yuna's shoulder strap.

After the two left, a woman came to Li Zaijun, who was his wife.

"How is it, are there any gains?"

The woman shook her head: "As far as I observe, Yoona knows nothing about these things, and she doesn't seem to care about this."

Li Zaijun frowned: "Liu Yi has already contacted Musk, and after hearing his tone, he seems to have the intention to cooperate with him. Now we have to find someone who can influence him. Who can become this breakthrough if someone around him?"

"I'll go and inquire."

After leaving the hotel with Yoona, Liu Yi took off his clothes and draped them on Yoona.

At this time, the sky was gloomy and it seemed like it was going to rain. Liu Yi opened the car door and let Yoona sit in and drive on the road.

"How do you feel?" Liu Yi looked at Yun'er and asked softly.

"I'm a little uncomfortable." Yoona took Liu Yi's arm and leaned on his shoulder, saying, "I stood beside them and felt like I was much smaller, but they were still flattering me. It felt really... very novel."

"This is what is called communication. If you are in this position, you may have to participate in many such occasions in the future, and you must slowly grasp the degree."

"I know..." Yoona nodded: "I know they are all for you."

"Don't think so." Liu Yi waved his hand and said, "This is a way of life. They are for their husbands. This is a roundabout strategy. Simply put, it is called 'pillow wind'. In fact, thinking about it, can they contact me? It is not appropriate to be in the sense of emotion or reason. They are around you, and they also show from the side that they think you can have an impact on me. You just regard it as a recognition, and it will be much easier."

"You don't have to worry too much, after all, they are the ones who flatter you, and I will never let you become someone like them, so... don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"Yeah." Yoona responded softly, and the raindrops drizzled down, hitting the windshield, and suddenly became quiet.

“oppa.”

"Um?"

"I suddenly felt that my life seemed to be starting to become different." Yoona sighed softly: "I can't seem to be a girl's generation anymore."

Liu Yi smiled and said, "Did you feel it? This is also a helpless thing. Even if you still want to appear as Yoona of Girls' Generation, do you think others will only regard you as Yoona of Girls' Generation? There may have been seniors who scolded you in the past, do they still dare now?"

"Sometimes, it's not enough that our original intention remains unchanged. We have to adapt to ourselves at different times, so that we can be much easier." Liu Yi touched Yun'er's cheek and said, "So, you have to accept all the cars I bought for you, the shares I give you, and the respect others have for you. After all, it's a good thing, right?"

"I asked you to go around these places again." Yun'er snorted and pinched Liu Yi gently, but her strength could not even be pinched to death by a mosquito.

Just as he got home, Liu Yi drove into the parking lot.

"Don't think I spoil you too much, don't feel this psychological pressure. In fact, this is just basic." Liu Yi parked the car and said to Yoona.

"Well, I understand." Yun'er frowned slightly when she saw that Liu Yi had no intention of getting off the car, and said, "It's raining, do you still want to see Zheng Ronghe?"

"What's wrong with it raining? The things that day will be done on the same day. You two don't have to wait for me to have dinner, it doesn't have to take long."

Yuna gave him a blank look and snorted, "I just said it straight when I want to go to Xiu Ying-Onie, we won't let you go."

Liu Yi was a little embarrassed, touched his nose and said, "How did you guess that it was Xiuying's, or maybe it was someone else?"

"Guess!" Yun'er snorted, got out of the car, waved to Liu Yi, and walked towards the elevator. Liu Yi watched her walk into the elevator before driving away.

Liu Yi made an appointment with Zheng Ronghe, and made an appointment with Ruicao Cave, not far from Chengbei Cave.

A very simple charcoal barbecue restaurant, where Liu Yizhao met was made.

The charcoal fire just came up, and Zheng Ronghe arrived. Seeing Liu Yi, his expression was obviously very awkward. He didn't want to come, but he felt so upset again. After struggling for a while, he drove in. He wanted to ask clearly, no matter what the answer was, as long as he didn't have to feel so uncomfortable.

The scene of lightning or suppressing people with power did not appear. Seeing that Zheng Ronghe was coming, Liu Yi reached out and signaled, "Sit down."

Jung Ronghe stood beside him for a while, hesitated for a while, and then sat down.

Liu Yi picked up the wine pot, and he immediately picked up the wine glass with both hands to pick it up.

"Don't be so nervous, you're one year older than me, just say a little." (To be continued.)
