Top of the Great Era

Chapter 1704 Copy
After gathering in the magic capital for 3 days, everyone went their separate ways.

Zhou Buqi also planned to leave.

Go to Korea first.

On the private plane, Zhou Buqi brought two Koreans, Kim Beom-soo and Kim Jong-hyuk.

The two are in charge of each other.

Jin Fanxiu's company is Kakao, and he is currently working on a social chat product called Kakaotalk.Kim Jong Hyuk is an e-commerce company with the support of Chen Dong, named JTmall.

South Korea's Internet market is very mature. At this moment, the penetration rate of wireless broadband has even exceeded 100%. That is to say, a person may have multiple mobile devices.

This is due to the strong Internet infrastructure coverage in South Korea. Whether it is a coffee shop, park, subway, or airport, there will be free WiFi almost everywhere.

Moreover, the speed of the Internet is exaggeratedly fast, not the first in the world, but also the top three in the world.

Downloading a high-definition movie takes only 20 seconds or 30 seconds.

Because of its strong infrastructure, South Korea's mobile terminal industry has developed very rapidly, and it has also made South Korea the country with the fastest promotion rate of smartphones.

Because of the rapid promotion of smartphones, the effect produced is that Kakaotalk is also promoted very quickly, which can be called an instant hit!

Helo has about 3800-4000 million users overseas; WeChat has about 160 million users in China; Kakaotalk has 1200 million users in Korea!
You know, the total population of South Korea is only 5000 million.

Because Kakaotalk has become a phenomenal product, this emerging Internet company Kakao has naturally been targeted by many investment institutions and giant companies.

Among them is Samsung!
Kim Bum-soo used to work for Samsung for a period of time, and Samsung threw an olive branch, which made him very embarrassed.

Because what he said doesn't count.

He is not an absolute sense of the entrepreneur.

The major shareholder of Kakao is Ziweixing International, which holds 60% of the shares.As for Ziweixing's industrial development in South Korea, the main partner is Hyundai, another giant chaebol.

Samsung and Hyundai have an absolute competitive relationship, and the political factions are different.

It is impossible to step on two boats.

Zhou Buqi came to Korea this time mainly to deal with this matter.

Jin Fanxiu was worried.

As a Korean, he was caught between Samsung and Hyundai, and he felt the pressure was overwhelming.

Zhou Buqi is very relaxed. With his status as a world-class entrepreneur, no matter whether it is the Li family of Samsung or the Zheng family of modern times, he must be regarded as a guest of honor.

Before he went, he basically thought of a solution.

The best choice is to bring in capital from both Samsung and Hyundai.

If the two are incompatible, and would rather not make money than get along with each other, then there is no way.When Zhou Buqi chooses a side, he will definitely choose the existing partner "Modern Department".

Zhou Buqi saw that Jin Fanxiu seemed a little nervous, and asked with a smile: "Kakaotalk is developing very well, now we can boldly draw conclusions, this venture is very successful!"

Jin Fanxiu is very self-aware, "It is all the middleware provided by Ziweixing, and provides the technology and services of the middle platform. My team and I do not produce products, we are just the seller."

Zhou Buqi said: "In marketing, sales ability is the strongest ability. Being able to promote products is enough to show the excellence of your entrepreneurial team. Many Internet companies have invested a lot of money in scientific research, which is unnecessary. There are more and more open source projects now, and the marketing ability of products is the most important ability.”

It's not an opinion, it's a requirement.

How much does research and development cost?
Zhou Buqi went to expand the Korean market, not to train IT scientists for South Korea, nor to reserve IT technology for them, but to collect money.

Since it's about making money, don't make it too complicated and don't think too much.

Don't do complex and technically difficult projects.

Ziweixing has a China-Taiwan business department and an international department for overseas markets. If there is a need in South Korea, it can be directly connected with the domestic market.

To put it bluntly, it is the domestic side that is responsible for the production, and then takes it to South Korea for a skin change, a little packaging, and "sells" it in the name of South Korea.

Kim Beom-soo is not considered a technical master. He really does not have the ability to lead the development of some extremely high-threshold technical projects. The whole of South Korea does not have this level, so he can just be a transfer station honestly.

Jin Fanxiu said: "Yes, relying on Ziwei Xing, we have everything we want."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Kakaotalk has developed soon, what's the next step, what are your plans?"

Jin Fanxiu said: "Korea has a small population. If Kakao wants to become a large Internet company, it still needs to target a larger market. Kakaotalk is a powerful product, and users like it very much. Next, we plan to go to overseas markets..."

"Ok?"

Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows and his face darkened.

Jin Bunxiu quickly explained, "I know that Helo is targeting the global market, but this market is too big, and now there are many similar products. I found that Helo is mainly targeted at developed countries in Europe and America. The Japanese version of Helo and the European and American versions Helo also has different designs and features. I think Kakaotalk can go out in time and strive for..."

"That's not a good idea!"

Zhou Buqi understood what he meant, but rejected him politely.

What he said actually made sense.

The global market is too big. Ziweixing International is now promoting Helo, and its energy is limited. At present, it is only focusing on the European and American markets. Other places such as Australia, Southeast Asia, and South America have nothing to do.

There are dozens of similar chat products in the market now.

If Helo does not go into these markets, it will definitely be taken away by other products, which is too wasteful.

Instead of not grabbing it, it is better to let him make a move and promote Kakaotalk to the past.

Such thoughts were strictly prohibited by Zhou Buqi.

No!

Kakao is a Korean company. It was a local Korean company established by Zhou Buqi as a backdoor, with the help of Jin Beomsu and his Korean identity.

A product made by a Korean company can better cater to the national psychology of Koreans.

This is a special case of Ziweixing's global promotion.

There are probably only two exceptions in the world.

One is South Korea, their national psychology is too strong, they don't like foreign products, they only like domestic products.There is also a special case in China, where there is a wall to isolate the Internet.

Therefore, "Ziweixing" should be divided into three parts, one is Ziweixing International, which is the most extensive overseas market; the other is Ziweixing, which is for the domestic market; the other is Kakao, which is for the Korean market.

The significance of Kakao's existence is to target the Korean market.

After running out of Korea, is he still needed?
Just honestly occupy all the Internet sites in South Korea!

Zhou Buqi rejected his proposal, smiled slightly, relieved the atmosphere, and said with a smile: "The overseas market is too difficult to do, there is no need to take risks. Kakaotalk has already been successful, this is a successful template, why not go further copy?"

"Further copies?"

"Ziweixing has many excellent Internet products, many of which have transnational attributes and can be transferred to the Korean market. This is the most correct choice for Kakao in the future."
