when idols fall in love

Chapter 44 43. Busy
early morning.

On the bedside table, the alarm clock rang.

Reaching out to press it down, Gu Heng frowned and sat up from the bed.

After four or five consecutive days of staying up late and working overtime, even though his physical condition has always been good, he felt a little unbearable at the moment.

But according to the schedule, he will go to the game company called Sundaytoz with Lin Zhixun this morning to negotiate.
Sitting on the bed to relax for a while, he managed to pull himself together.

After taking the mobile phone next to the pillow, there are many unread messages on Kakaotalk.

The first is a few messages from Lin Zhixun and the company staff about today's schedule.

He replied simply.

After that, it was Lin Yuner.

【yoona】: early
【yoona】: another day full of energy

【yoona】: yawn.jpg
Gu Heng subconsciously looked at the time when the message was sent.

05:01
No wonder it says "full of energy".
Gu Heng shook his head and smiled, and replied to her with the same three messages.

Such is the schedule work of idol stars.

Speaking of which, Li Zhien hasn't been home for two or three days.

Get out of bed, wash, change clothes, eat.

Half an hour later, Gu Heng hurried out the door.

The car arranged by Kakao Corp to pick him up was arriving in front of Li's house, and Lin Zhixun was also in the back seat.

When they got into the car, they both smiled when they saw the eye bags that were also conspicuous on each other's faces.

"Using such a face to discuss cooperation, will the other party think our company is unreliable, Minister Lin?" Gu Heng made a small joke.

"It's a glorious proof of putting your heart and soul into your work, okay?"

"If President Kim Bum-soo had a thousand employees like you, he would probably wake up with a smile in his dreams at night." Gu Heng rolled his eyes.

The two had just chatted a few words in the car before the car arrived at its destination.

Sundaytoz, a small start-up game company established in 09, has only 20 members.

Limited by scale, Sundaytoz naturally cannot monopolize an entire commercial building like Kakao Corp, but can only rent a floor of an office building in Seocho District as a working place.

Gu Heng, Lin Zhixun and several other staff got out of the car, and led by the guide, took the elevator to the office floor of Sundaytoz.

The founder of Sundaytoz, Li Chenghe, and several others were already waiting at the door.

Although Kakao Corp is not among the ranks of South Korean chaebols, it is already a giant for such a small company that is closer to a studio, so it is naturally impossible to be contemptuous.

Li Chenghe is about forty years old and is dressed in formal attire.

However, judging from the way he adjusts his tie from time to time, it seems that he is a little uncomfortable with this kind of dress.

Leaving the work of communication to Lin Zhixun, Gu Heng silently looked at the people at Sundaytoz and made judgments.

After shaking hands and giving brief introductions, Li Chenghe led Gu Heng, Lin Zhixun and others into a conference room.

Although the meeting room is not big, it can be seen that Sundaytoz attaches great importance to this meeting from the temporary placement of a few pots of green plants in the four corners of the room and on the window edge.

After a brief introduction, Lin Zhixun officially started today's negotiation with Li Chenghe.

For the specific capital injection plan, Gu Heng just listened attentively and did not comment.

On the one hand, Lin Zhixun had already discussed these contents with him in advance, and on the other hand, these contents often involved some details of South Korean commercial company laws, and his rash intervention would only add to the confusion.

It is his consistent philosophy to leave professional issues to professional people.

Only when I occasionally heard some unfamiliar terms, I asked the people in Kakao beside me in a low voice.

after an hour.

"We respect your company's desire to maintain the independence of game production"

Lin Zhixun and Gu Heng glanced at each other, then looked at Li Chenghe, "20% of the shares will not interfere with the specific content and direction of game production, but it needs to be released through the Kakao game platform first, and the price will be divided. What does Mr. Li Chenghe think of this price? ?”

Li Chenghe clenched his fist excitedly, and finally nodded, "Yes!"

Not only because of capital injection, but also because of Lin Zhixun's promise.

The next game of Sundaytoz, the casual elimination game "Anipang" which is undergoing post-production, will receive Kakaotalk channel marketing support after it is released on the Kakao game platform.

Publishing through the Kakao game platform, it is inevitable to pay a corresponding revenue share, but compared to the huge user traffic that may be obtained. This account is not difficult for anyone to calculate.

"However, Mr. Li Chenghe," Gu Heng tapped the table, and began his first speech in this conference room, "We also hope that your company's games can have a closer connection with Kakao."

"A closer connection?" Li Chenghe was startled.

"Friend function."

"Is there a friend function in the game? This is not difficult to achieve."

"No, I mean that after Kakao publishes, game users are allowed to register and log in directly with their Kakaotalk account, and if the user allows it, they can also automatically import the user's Kakao talk friend list."

"At the same time, develop a mode that allows users to directly form rooms with friends in the game, and conduct multiplayer PK."

"and also."

Listening to the fluent statement of the man across the table, Li Chenghe was stunned for a moment.

Two hours later.

Gu Heng, Lin Zhixun and others walked out of the conference room.

At the door of Sundaytoz, Lin Zhixun raised his hand to stop Li Chenghe's footsteps.

"Mr. Li Chenghe, just send it here. I hope we will have a happy follow-up cooperation."

"We must work hard!"

"Goodbye."

Got off the elevator and out of the office building.

Lin Zhixun sent the other members of Kakao Corp back to the company first, turned his head to look at Gu Heng who was still thinking about something, and said with a smile,
"What are you thinking about? I think Li Chenghe is scared enough by you."

"It's just asking him to add some new functions to the game, so it's not going to scare him." Gu Heng came back to his senses, smiled and shook his head in denial.

"Isn't it scary enough?" Lin Zhixun couldn't help but click his tongue when recalling Li Chenghe's tangled look in the conference room.

Although Gu Heng didn't mention the effects of what he said would be brought about once realized, he could already vaguely foresee that this would completely change Kakao Corp's entire business model.

"No matter how good the prediction is, it must be based on the quality of the games we bet on." Gu Heng didn't feel too excited.

Although the current idea of ​​building a game platform is basically advancing according to his plan, it does not mean that the ideal income will be achieved after the completion of the plan.

What's more, we are only completing the most basic work now, and there is still a longer road to go.

"This kind of cold work attitude, tsk, no wonder President Jin told me in private that he knew from the first moment he saw you boy that you are not the same kind of person as him"

"Forget it, forget it, let's go, take you to drink ginseng chicken soup, to replenish your body."

Lin Zhixun hugged Gu Heng's shoulder without any explanation.
