Reborn Korea, I am not a chaebol

Chapter 16 A big gamble?
After re-baiting, Zhou Wenhua threw out the fishing line.

"By the way, how did you meet that woman? Didn't you say that you only returned to China for a few days and you don't have a girlfriend?"

The old man suddenly remembered how Zhou Wenhua met a woman so quickly, and even had sex with her.

"Old man, the thing is like this. I plan to invest in real estate after returning to China, so I went to Shinhan Real Estate to buy two or three houses. I met Sun Miner at this time."

After getting along with the old man these days, Zhou Wenhua felt that there was no need to guard against him, not to mention that he was a professor at Yonsei University before.

"That's right." The old man thought about it and felt something was wrong, "Aren't you an orphan? Where did you get the money to buy a house?"

"I sold all the property in Huaguo."

"Oh, so you're pretty rich?"

When it came to money, Zhou Wenhua couldn't tell the old man the truth anymore. He said vaguely: "Because my adoptive parents have always lived in Xianghai, Huaguo, the house can be sold for a lot of money."

"Oh, so it turns out that it is indeed a good choice for you to invest in real estate."

As a professor of Yonsei University, the old man must have a wide range of knowledge. Zhou Wenhua responded accordingly: "Old man, I didn't study hard when I was in Huaguo, so I don't know much about investment. Apart from investing in real estate, do you think I should also invest in real estate?" What else?"

"Didn't you buy two or three houses? How can you still have money for other investments?"

The old man thought that Zhou Wenhai's money was just enough to buy two or three apartments in Seoul, so he asked with a puzzled expression.

"I still have a little spare money, which is the savings from my adoptive parents and the money after selling the company's shares."

"Approximately how much? I need to know how much money you have left before I can give you an accurate suggestion."

There was nothing wrong with the old man's words, Zhou Wenhua replied: "There are still about 100 billion won."

"100 billion? You are really rich."

The old man looked surprised, he didn't expect Zhou Wenhua, a young man, to have so much money.

"No, it's all left to me by my adoptive parents."

"I recently learned a piece of good investment news, that is, the money in your hand may not be enough."

Sure enough, the old man is the hidden master.

"Old man, how much does the investment project you mentioned cost?"

"It depends on whether you are going to make a single investment or spread it across the board."

The old man's words aroused Zhou Wenhua's strong interest again, he stood up and bowed to the old man, "Old man, please teach me."

While speaking, the old man's float responded again, and he picked up the fishing rod to reel in the line.

"Help me quickly, this fish is a bit big."

After all, the old man was old, and it was difficult for him to hold the fishing rod with both hands. Zhou Wenhua held the fishing rod for him, and then the old man was responsible for copying the net.

"It's carp, at least 1kg."

The old man looked at the carp in the net and said with a laugh.

Put the fish into the fish cage, come back and sit down, Zhou Wenhua said: "Old man, can you teach me?"

"Okay, for your kid's sake, I'll tell you."

The old man's admiration for Zhou Wenhua made him make an exception to give lectures to him alone.

"Yes."

Zhou Wenhua said respectfully.

"Do you know Kakao?"

Kakao?

Playing the jungler?
"I know, but what does this have to do with Kakao players?"

"Ah, what Kakao player, I'm talking about the Kakao of Kakao Talk."

The old man raised his hand and knocked him on the head, cursing with a look of hatred for iron.

It turned out to be kakao talk...

Zhou Wenhua smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood, I know about kakao talk."

"Since May of this year, there have been rumors that Kakao founder Kim Bum-soo is planning to acquire Daum, but then Kakao talk was involved in partisan disputes between the Labor Party, the Democratic Party and the ruling party. The Cheong Wa Dae intends to target Kim Bum-soo, so you can Take a gamble at this time."

The old man roughly told Zhou Wenhua what he had learned.

"Old man, why is Kakao, a private enterprise, involved in partisan disputes?"

Zhou Wenhua was very interested in this.

"Because the deputy leader of the Labor Party violated the assembly law before, which may involve people from the Democratic Party, the ruling party wants to let Kakao talk make the chat records between the deputy leader of the Labor Party and Democrats public. However, because the Labor Party's The deputy leader has exercised his right to remain silent, and if Kakao talk publishes their chat records, it will be regarded as an abuse of public power, but if he does not do so, Cheong Wa Dae will definitely not let him go, Kim Bum-soo is now in a dilemma."

The old man spoke clearly and logically, but Zhou Wenhua's hearing was clouded.

It took a few minutes to digest the old man's words, and Zhou Wenhua gradually understood that it meant that Kim Bum-soo had no time to take care of buying Daum because of the faction.

But what does this have to do with me?

"Old man, according to your opinion, what should I do?"

"If you have enough money, you can take the opportunity to acquire Daum's shares at this time. After Daum and Kakao merge, you will naturally occupy a certain proportion of shares in the new club, and you may even become the second largest individual shareholder. .”

Needless to say, the largest shareholder must be Kim Bum-soo.

"How much will it cost to acquire Daum's shares?"

"At least 3000 billion won, how about it, do you have that much money?"

3000 million?
If I use the money I have now to loan to the system, it will only be more than 1000 billion won. If there is no other way, I can only consider letting the system send out the red envelopes before making a loan.

"Old man, if I think of a way, I should be able to get the money together, but if I buy Daum's shares, if Kim Bum-soo doesn't buy Daum at that time, then I'm finished?"

Taking this situation into consideration, Zhou Wenhua raised his concerns.

"You are right, so this is a gamble. You can only bet that Kim Bum-soo can get through this difficult time, because he will definitely buy Daum."

"Old man, why are you so sure that Kim Bum-soo will buy Daum?"

"Do you know the relationship between Kim Bum Soo and NAVER's founder Lee Hae Jin?"

The old man looked at the floating floats on the water and asked with a smile.

"I do not know."

"Kim Bum-soo founded Hangame at the beginning, and later merged with Lee Hae-jin's NAVER and renamed it NHA. The two became the joint representatives of NHA, but he left NHA after being squeezed out in the power struggle with Lee Hae-jin, and now he can once again The opportunity to compete with Lee Hae Jin, based on what I know about Kim Bum Soo, he will definitely not miss it."

The old man withdrew his gaze and said, "Moreover, in order for Kim Bum-soo to make Kakao go public, the acquisition of Daum is an indispensable and important link."

Daum, like NAVER, is a search engine in Korea. Daum, which used to be the leader, was taken up by NAVER and ranked second in Korea. After Google entered Korea, Daum became the third.

Kim Bum-soo's acquisition of Daum is not only the need for Kakao to expand into the field of search engines, but also the personal grievances between him and Lee Hae-jin.

"Old man, do you know Kim Bum Soo?"
