Chapter 277 Astonishment, First Visit to South Korea
Yoon Jae-ryong, as the representative of Tencent in South Korea, was waiting at Incheon Airport in Seoul, South Korea, with his assistants and bodyguards.
He is a native of South Korea and joined the company when Tencent first invested in South Korea.
Yoon Jae-yong also possesses a strong network of connections to become the head of South Korea's penguin company.
The notice for the group's vice president, Chen Jingyuan, to conduct the business trip to South Korea had been issued well in advance.
Yin Zailong immediately went to find out about the group's vice president.
As the person in charge of Penguin Korea, Yoon Jae-yong is actually more concerned about internal affairs in South Korea.
There is relatively little attention paid to matters concerning inland China.
I wasn't very familiar with Chen Jingyuan before, I just seemed to have heard the name before.
Yin Zailong quickly began searching for information about Chen Jingyuan!
Chen Jingyuan's past has already been thoroughly investigated, and he himself can withstand scrutiny.
Everything is very clean, even Bitcoin is traded and invested in legal areas of Hong Kong Island.
When the relevant information was presented to Yoon Jae-ryong, he couldn't help but show a look of astonishment.
"Representative Chen is so young?!"
"And his personal wealth exceeds $30 billion?!"
"It would rank among the top 20 on South Korea's rich list."
"It's only been a little over five years since I graduated from university!?"
It's fair to say that every piece of information made Yoon Jae-ryong unable to help but show a look of shock.
He is 42 years old this year, and his net worth is probably only a fraction of what Representative Chen has.
Although there are many self-made geniuses in the world!
But such numbers are extremely rare, and unexpectedly, Representative Chen was one of them.
Yin Zailong already valued Chen Jingyuan and his group highly, and this time he valued them even more.
Don't let President Chen's youth fool you; do you think someone as talented as him, with so much wealth, can be easily fooled?!
At least Yoon Jae-ryong doesn't think so!
We definitely need to be careful in serving Representative Chen from now on.
Despite being the head of South Korean penguins, the attitude of the parent company is also crucial.
If some serious problems are indeed found, it's hard to say whether Yoon Jae-ryong might be forced to resign.
Yoon Jae-ryong definitely can't let go of this position.
It should be noted that Yoon Jae-yong is a figure in South Korean high society, and even chaebols treat him with great respect.
This is still due to the influence of penguins!
First of all, Tencent's investment in South Korea is not a small amount; it's comparable to the size of a chaebol.
Including today's globalization, there may be some cooperation in other countries.
It's better to make a friend than an enemy, especially since most conglomerates and Tencent have no reason to be enemies.
Tencent's investments in South Korea are primarily in the internet, entertainment, and gaming industries, and they generally involve holding shares.
Conversely, most of South Korea's top conglomerates control industries such as military, energy, and shipping.
The chaebols aren't stupid; they naturally know how to handle interpersonal relationships.
Just as Yoon Jae-ryong was lost in thought, a special private jet landed at the airport.
Yoon Jae-ryong could still recognize some Chinese characters, so he naturally saw the words "Gyeongwon-go".
"They're here!"
Yoon Jae-ryong couldn't help but murmur with a hint of envy on his face.
Private jets are owned only by chaebols in South Korea.
However, considering public opinion issues, conglomerates usually use corporate private jets.
Private jets are relatively rare in South Korea.
A short while later, Chen Jingyuan led a group of people out through the separate passage.
"Representative Chen!"
"President Yoon!"
The two exchanged brief greetings, and Yoon Jae-ryong had no problem communicating in Chinese.
The translation was completely useless!
Next, Chen Jingyuan followed Yin Zailong into the vehicle that had been prepared in advance.
The large number of people in the group attracted a lot of attention, but everyone was discussing which conglomerate they belonged to.
Fortunately, the discussion didn't last long, as it seemed that a celebrity had arrived at the airport, attracting a lot of attention from fans.
There are quite a few South Korean celebrities, and the competition is fierce with a very rapid turnover of stars.
Given the limited local resources, they have no choice but to expand overseas.
You can still often see celebrities making their schedules at the airport.
"Nayeon, Jihyo!!"
"Tzuyu, Hirai Momo!!"
Before Chen Jingyuan and his group could even start their vehicle, they heard cheers coming from not far away.
"Representative Chen, this is the girl group TWICE from JYP Entertainment!"
Yin Zailong spoke first.
Tencent is currently JYP's third-largest shareholder, and the partnership dates back to 15.
For example, Tencent Music and JYP established a joint venture music streaming company in Beijing long ago.
Chen Jingyuan nodded; he didn't know much about these girl groups.
Since the ban on Korean entertainment, South Korean artists can only operate in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.
In mainland China, the most they can do is hold autograph sessions; it's simply impossible to hold a concert.
His most vivid impression of girl groups is probably Girls' Generation.
It's because when he went to university, Girls' Generation was at the height of their popularity.
"Representative Chen, I have already made arrangements at the Shilla Hotel."
Just as Chen Jingyuan was lost in thought, Yin Zailong's voice continued to ring out.
The convoy started moving, and the nanny vans that were originally waiting for the celebrities quickly moved aside.
The driver of the nanny van was quite perceptive; in South Korea, it must be extraordinary to be able to dispatch a vehicle in such a high-level manner.
None of them are people they can afford to offend!
When Chen Jingyuan and his party arrived at the Shilla Hotel, it was around noon, and they planned to have lunch first.
The Shilla Hotel is considered one of the most famous hotels in South Korea, and many political figures have stayed there.
The restaurant offers dishes from various countries, so there's no need to worry about your taste not being to your liking.
After a simple meal, Chen Jingyuan decided to go out for a walk.
The Penguin Group's review team has not yet arrived and did not come on their private jet.
It will probably be evening, and the work is estimated to be able to begin tomorrow.
Chen Jingyuan was naturally in no hurry either!
Another point is that when Chen Jingyuan came to South Korea, not many people recognized him.
Even if some tourists from China recognized me, it didn't matter.
A scenario of encirclement is impossible!
There's a reason why so many celebrities liked to come to South Korea before their rebirth.
It is indeed more free, and many celebrities frequent places like Gangnam District and Cheongdam-dong.
Many South Koreans are already used to it!
In addition, South Korea is indeed more advanced in medical aesthetics and styling.
Even Chen Jingyuan had to admit it!
Also, flying to South Korea is indeed very convenient, only two hours and there are many flights.
Of course, although he planned to go out for a walk, Chen Jingyuan would not go alone but would still bring bodyguards with him.
In addition, Yin Zailong, a local strongman, volunteered!
Yin Zailong was worried about not having a chance to get closer to Chen Jingyuan, but unexpectedly, he took the initiative to offer himself up.
Of course, we wouldn't let this opportunity slip by!
