Chapter 2 It’s not easy to meet you
Marble Group building complex.
A group of more than a dozen people in suits and ties stood in two straight lines at the gate.
At the front are Marble Group Chairman Fang Junhyuk, Vice President Ma Xiangzhen, and Star Capital Investment Vice Minister Kim Sang Hyuk.
Vice President Ma Xiangzhen, who was standing next to Fang Junhe, raised his hand to look at his watch and whispered to him: "It's almost here."
Chairman Bang Jun Hyuk in the middle glanced at Kim Sang Hyuk on his left out of the corner of his eye, nodded slightly and said nothing.
Today is a very important day for Marble Group.
If all goes well, they will welcome the group's new largest shareholder.
In the blink of an eye, everyone saw a Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly driving towards the Marble Building.
Everyone who was originally agitated by the weather re-examined their clothes to avoid any rudeness.
What they have to face today is a big shot, not only because of his strong ability, but also because of the behemoth behind him.
The moment the car parked, a young woman got out of the car. It was secretary Park Seol-yoon.
He got to the back seat, opened the car door, leaned over slightly and whispered: "President, we are here."
Vice Minister of Investment Kim Sang Hyuk also came behind Park Seol-yun and bowed slightly: "Chairman!"
A pair of brown leather shoes stuck out of the car door and slowly landed on the ground.
A young man wearing a tailored single-breasted suit with wide stripes stepped out of the car.
There was a sound of footsteps, and Fang Junhe came over with other senior executives to welcome Li Yuanbin and his party.
The group of people exchanged pleasantries and walked inside the company.
Finally, three people from Star Capital and six people from Marble walked into the conference room.
Secretary Park Seol-yoon was responsible for organizing and recording the meeting, while Kim Sang-hyuk and Lee Won-bin were responsible for talking to each other.
"The game market has developed rapidly in recent years, and competition has become increasingly fierce. What do you think?"
Li Yuanbin leaned back in his seat relaxedly, put his left hand on the table, and tapped unconsciously.
The four marbles glanced at each other, then turned their attention to Fang Junhe and Ma Xiangzhen not far away.
Fang Junhe knew it was time to speak for himself.
He sat up straight and stared at Li Yuanbin: "That's why we need to strengthen cooperation and not fall behind."
Li Yuanbin nodded with satisfaction and glanced at Jin Sang Hyuk.
Kim Sang Hyuk understood this, stood up, took out some documents from his office bag, and distributed them to everyone present.
"Everyone is talking while looking at me."
"Most of the company's profit sources now come from mobile games, but in client games, we have not taken advantage."
"Then, the next plan is to introduce client games, start live broadcasts, and use Star Capital as the media..."
Fang Junhe looked at the documents in his hands, the ideas in his mind became clearer and clearer, and he became more and more optimistic about the prospects of cooperation between the two companies.
Now that we have reached an agreement, all that remains is to discuss the specific terms.
This also requires discussions between the teams of both parties.
In the end, the two parties signed a contract, and Star Capital fully acquired 100% of the equity of Marble Games, the parent company of Marble Group, and became the largest shareholder of Marble Group, holding 30.9% of the shares.
One month later, that is, on July 18, the group will announce this to the public and attend the press conference to increase the company's exposure.
After the meeting, Li Yuanbin took Park Xueyun and left, leaving the rest to Kim Sang Hyuk and the "post-investment" team to handle.
Walking out of Marble's building, Park Seol-yoon, who was following Li Won-bin, reminded him softly: "President, the last arrangement today is to meet with Lee Jung-jae at 6 p.m."
Li Yuanbin nodded understandingly and got into the car.
The Rolls-Royce Phantom started slowly and left the Marble Group building complex.
In the car, Li Yuanbin received a call from across the ocean.
"Boss, I'm sorry to disturb you at this time."
"Don't be nervous. Is there anything you want to report?"
Li Yuanbin raised the corners of his mouth and showed a smile. He had already guessed what the news was.
"We have rejected the acquisition plan of Nexon and NCsoft in accordance with your opinions."
"OK, you did a good job, I will go there in person later."
Everything was going as he hoped.
Afterwards, the two exchanged pleasantries for a few words and hung up the phone.
I opened the text messages and Kakao talk on my phone, looked around, and didn't see what I wanted to see. I shook my head in disappointment and put the phone down.
Park Seol-yun, who was sitting in the passenger seat, saw everything that happened through the rearview mirror, pursed her lips, and could not say any comforting words.
5:50 pm, Maple Tree Restaurant, Denan Road, Jiangnan District.
Li Zhengzai came here ten minutes early, looking a little strange. He was not sure what Li Yuanbin's purpose was today.
Is it for him or his girlfriend?
I took out my phone and was about to kill some time, but when I saw the date on the screen, my pupils shrank slightly: "Today is..."
Before he could think about it, the door of the box was pushed open and Li Yuanbin walked in alone.
"First time we meet, I'm Lee Jung Jae."
Li Zhengzai quickly stood up from his seat and introduced himself to Li Yuanbin.
"Sit down, I'm sorry to come to you at such a time."
After sitting down, before saying a few words, the door of the box was rudely pushed open again.
Li Yuanbin's face darkened and he turned to look at the door.
"Li Yuanbin, what on earth do you want to do!!?"
A woman in a white dress hurried in and stood next to Li Zhengzai, looking at him expressionlessly.
The woman's name is Lin Shiling, and she is Li Zhengjae's girlfriend. She also has another identity, that is Li Wonbin's mother.
Since she divorced her father Li, she has not seen her son again. He always avoids her. Her daughter Yuanzhu often goes out with her, and the relationship is pretty good.
Eight years is enough time for two very close people to become strangers.
Looking at the strange and familiar faces in front of her, Lin Shiling was speechless for a moment.
In addition, she had heard about Li Yuanbin's ruthless methods in business.
He buys you, sells you, and then makes you bankrupt. In the end, he makes a lot of money and you are left with nothing.
The people around her who came to see her at this time might be planning something else.
She is not sure that the person who has been hiding from her for eight years will show up one day, not to come to her, but to meet her boyfriend. She doesn't know what the purpose of this is.
Li Zhengzai, who was sitting aside, glanced between the two of them, took Lin Shiling's hand, and led her to sit down: "It's okay, we just met, and besides, today is..."
"Don't speak yet!"
Lin Shiling didn't give Li Zhengzai a chance to explain at all, and stared at Li Yuanbin who was sitting opposite with his legs crossed: "What is the purpose of your coming today?"
