In the end, Fan Bingbing still wanted to go to France, and Chen William agreed. In fact, it was not bad to go there anyway, and it was convenient for him to visit.

And maybe I will go to Europe recently, and I will just bring her there to settle down.

Although Chen William had already come to South Korea, he was not in a hurry to go to the Hynix headquarters in Jingji Road to participate in the acquisition negotiation, but went to kakao company in a leisurely manner and met with Jin Xiuban.

"Mr. William came here first, which surprised and honored me."

When Jin Xiufan saw Chen William, his expression was respectful, and the first sentence made Chen William very interesting.

"how to say?"

"I thought you came to South Korea this time to buy Hynix."

"Yes, no, Hynix is ​​not that important to me. After all, I can choose from more than this one."

It's not surprising that he thought so. After all, William Chen's acquisition of Hynix, which was designed for tens of billions of dollars, shook the entire South Korea and even the entire semiconductor chip industry during this period. It was a very eye-catching thing. .

However, William Chen didn't talk much with him about Hynix, and soon turned the topic to the development of kakao.

Kim Soo Fan proudly told Chen William a set of data: KaKao APP currently has 2.5 times the total number of SMS messages sent by the three major operators in South Korea; in the 40% market penetration rate of smartphones in South Korea, 95% are KaKao users, which means that among smartphone users, the kakaoAPP user share exceeds 95%.

Up to now, the number of registered users of kakaoAPP has exceeded 50 million, of which more than 85% are local users in South Korea. The number of daily active users has reached 20 million, and the daily volume of messages sent is 3 billion.

However, the development of kakaotalk now also depends on the overall number of smartphone users, and has reached a certain bottleneck. Therefore, before, kakao started to acquire and expand its business scope by relying on their user advantages in the mobile social field. Games, music, e-commerce, etc.

Among them, the game business has now become an important profit point for their company. kakaoGa is the agent of LOL in South Korea and one of the organizers of the LOL South Korea Champions League LCK.

Now the LOL league in the S1 season, because of the high bonuses of Riot Games, is also in full swing in South Korea, and many strong players have emerged.

Jin Xiufan is a person who can take the initiative to lower his profile. This is from the previous life of William Chen, Kakao was launched before Penguin's WeChat, but later he was able to take the initiative to visit and learn from Penguin, learn from their business model, and accept Penguin. The capital injection into the shares can be seen.

The same is true now. He has also carefully studied the operations of related companies in the United States and China. After seeing the development of Twitter and Weibo, kakao has also launched their own related products in South Korea.
