Chapter 244 Increased Value
In the Bangbae-dong villa, in Wen Caiyuan's room on the second floor.

An Rushong put the sweaty "Master Wen" on the bed, then sat down beside the bed, lit a cigarette, and smoked it while flipping through a thick document.

When it comes to the unspeakable matters between men and women, Wen Caiyuan is the type who is both naive and playful. Ever since she was turned into a little woman by An Rushong, she has changed from the "Master Xianzheng" to a little slut. Every time she meets An Rushong, she would pester him to fight against her.

Unfortunately, as a miniature beauty, she has limited tolerance for criticism and is always made miserable by An Rushong, but she refuses to admit defeat.

The same situation is happening today.

Lying on the bed like a dead fish, Wen Caiyuan was naked. She stared at the ceiling for a while, until she smelled the smell of cigarettes in the air. She wrinkled her nose, turned over, opened her mouth and gently bit An Rushong's lower back.

At this time, An Rusong was so absorbed in reading the information that he had no time to pay attention to the little woman behind him. After being bitten, he just patted her thigh and said, "Stop it."

Then he pulled open the quilt on the bed and covered the woman with it.

At this time, the information in his hand was compiled by Wen Qihe. The information included all the clients of "Master Wen", and they were high-end clients, either rich or noble.

Just like the person he is looking at now, his name is Huang Changgui, currently working in the South Korean government, he is a genuine civil servant, and his specific position is the head of the Knowledge Economy R&D Strategic Planning Group of the Ministry of Knowledge Economy. If he were in China, his position would be the director of a department under a ministry.

According to the records, this guy came to "Master Wen" to ask for advice on only two questions: First, he bought a house in Yangcheon District, which covers a large area and cost nearly 2.7 billion won. However, since the house was purchased, the real estate prices in Seoul have been falling. Captain Huang felt unsure, so he wanted to ask whether he should sell it in time.

The second question was about his career. Huang wanted to know that after the new president took office, the Minister of Knowledge Economy would definitely be replaced, and the Deputy Minister and others would probably also be replaced. He wanted to know whether he, the head of the Strategic Planning Group, would also have to change his position.

"Master Wen" naturally does not have the ability to foresee the future, so she cannot answer the two questions from Captain Huang. However, as a shaman master inherited from her family, "Master Wen" naturally has her own set of rhetoric. Her mysterious and ambiguous answers can naturally deal with such questions, and afterwards she has to make Captain Huang feel that her predictions are very accurate.

Behind this leader Huang is a man named Kim Jong-liang, who is the chairman of Hanyang College. His wife is Choi Kyung-won, the third daughter of Choi Chung-kwan, vice chairman of SK Group.

The questions Jin Zhongliang asked were about the economic level. Five consecutive questions were all related to the current stock market. It seems that this guy has not invested any money in the stock market and should be stuck with it.

Haha, think about it, you are a guy who teaches medicine, but you don't study your medical skills properly, but you come to play stocks. Do you think that people holding scalpels can avoid the sickle of stock market makers? Naive!

Not interested in Jin Zhongliang's message, An Rushong continued to flip to the next page.

After turning a few pages, he suddenly saw the information of a woman, and his hand stopped turning the pages instantly.

The woman's name was "Tian Hailin", and her profile was an actress, but the question she sought answers from "Master Wen" was about relationships. It seemed that the woman was in love with someone, but she was worried that if the news was made public, it would attract opposition from the company and fans, so she was very distressed.

It’s outrageous, this guy seems to be treating “Master Wen” as a psychological counselor.

However, An Rushong was not concerned about these things, but the identity of this woman. Because there was no photo of the relevant customer in the information, he didn't know what this person looked like, but he felt vaguely that the other party's name seemed very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he just couldn't remember it for a while.

Looking through such information gave An Rushong a vague sense of pleasure, well, that kind of excitement of prying into other people's privacy, which is very addictive.

Just when he was watching happily, a cell phone ringtone suddenly rang in the room. From the sound, it was his Apple phone.

He put the documents in his hand on the bedside and put out the cigarette butt between his fingers. An Rushong stood up and walked to the door. He picked up the pants he had thrown on the ground, took out the mobile phone from his pocket and looked at it.

The person who called was Macaulay. An Rushong pressed the answer button without thinking.

"An," Macaulay's excited voice came from the other end of the phone just after it was connected, "Do you want to hear good news?" "Macaulay, is there anyone in this world who doesn't like good news?" Holding the phone in one hand and holding his pants in the other, An Rushong walked back to the bed. He first threw his pants on the bed, then smiled at Wen Caiyuan who was looking up at him, and then said in a helpless tone.

"Haha, I was wrong. What I meant was," Macaulay said on the phone, "Never mind. It doesn't matter. The key point is that this news is exciting enough."

"Okay, I'm waiting for you to tell me the content of the news," even though the other party was not in front of him, An Rushong subconsciously spread his hands.

"Oh, yes," Macaulay laughed and said, "It's like this, I just received a call from the headquarters, and they told me that just yesterday afternoon, the headquarters received a call from Sean Parker."

At this point, he stopped again and asked, "Do you know Sean Parker?"

"Oh, a Hollywood actor?" An Rushong guessed randomly.

“No, Facebook’s COO!” Macaulay exclaimed.

"What's wrong with him?" An Rushong pondered for a moment, then asked curiously.

"Parker wants to convey a proposal to you through the headquarters," McCaw said in an excited tone, "Facebook hopes to acquire your NGN company, or to be more precise, your NGN software. Of course, it is mainly the photo wall application in the NGN software, and they hope to buy it."

An Rushong didn't say anything. He believed that the news came from historical inertia.

That’s right, in the world of his previous life, INS was acquired by Facebook. At that time, Facebook spent $10 billion to acquire this application which had just been online for less than two years. Of course, it was this acquisition that pushed Facebook to the peak, because the INS application was so popular among users.

In this world, the INS application no longer exists. It has been replaced by the "Photo Wall" application in the NGN software. The same thing is that Facebook still likes it and is willing to spend money to buy it.

"Do you know how much Parker is willing to pay?" McCauley continued without hearing An Rusong's words, "US$5 million, a full US$5 million, and this is the first offer. According to the estimate of the headquarters, if nothing unexpected happens, the offer that Facebook will eventually accept is likely to be between US$7 million and US$8 million."

It's no wonder he's so excited, because even if Facebook's first round offer of $5 million is used, Draper Fisher Jurvetson has already doubled its profit on this investment in NGN, and how long has this investment lasted? Just over a month.

"Macaulay, are you, DFJ, planning to sell your shares?" An Rushong finally spoke, asking in a calm tone.

Facebook's offer was indeed not low, $5 million or even $8 million, just to buy the "Photo Wall" function, while the NGN software would still be left to the NGN company.

But the problem is that An Rushong has no intention of selling the "Photo Wall" function. In his opinion, for a long time in the future, the "Photo Wall" function will be the core block that brings new users to NGN software. If he sells this function, even if the growth of NGN will not stagnate, the speed will certainly not be as fast as it is now.

"Haha, of course not," Macaulay laughed loudly on the phone. "The reason why I feel excited is not because I am planning to sell my shares in NGN, but because Facebook's acquisition intention has given me greater confidence. No, it's not just me. The headquarters has the same attitude."

He paused and then continued, "But, An, you should be prepared now. If we explicitly reject Facebook's acquisition proposal, then they may set up a similar 'Photo Wall' to openly compete with you and NGN."

"Facebook is rich and powerful," Macaulay said, but his tone was not too worried. "It is also an Internet company with a huge number of registered users. Believe me, if they jump out to compete with you, you will probably be in a passive position soon."

"Macauley, we are in the same boat," An Rusong was not worried about what the other party said. He smiled and said, "Don't tell me that you, Defengjie, are not prepared."

"Of course, our legal department is ready for a long-term lawsuit," Macaulay said with a smile, "but if you want to force Facebook to make concessions, it is not enough to just sue. Your NGN must have sufficient technical reserves. To be honest, the photo wall has been online for so long, it is time to introduce a few more new effects."

"Haha, that's easy," An Rusong said, "We are planning to do a round of version updates after Christmas. By then, four new effects will be launched. In addition, our development team still has 12 new effects that have not been released yet."
