Chapter 296 Invitation

Li Fuzhen nodded in understanding. She had been paying close attention to the various actions taken by NGN Company recently, so she knew what An Rushong said.

As for why Li Fuzhen, the eldest princess of Samsung, pays attention to the development of NGN company, the answer is very simple. As an ambitious woman, she has a strong interest in investing in NGN company.

As a company that possesses the powerful weapon of NGN software, NGN has a limitless future. This obviously does not need to be reported in financial newspapers or news. Anyone who pays attention to the economic level can see and understand it, and Li Fuzhen happens to be such a person.

"After the software localization work in Singapore, Japan and other places is completed, the development of NGN software should usher in another explosive period, right?" Li Fuzhen took two steps forward and came to a position side by side with An Rushong. Then, she turned her body slightly, from facing the courtyard entrance to facing the main entrance of the villa.

Standing side by side with An Rusong, she tilted her head slightly and continued, "I read some analysis in the IT industry's print media. Once NGN software completes its software localization layout in East Asia and Southeast Asia, the software's English registered users will hopefully exceed 6000 million?"

An Rushong smiled very restrainedly and did not answer the other party's question. Of course, his answer was already written on his face. It was a confidence that anyone could see.

At present, the registered users of NGN software have been divided into three major groups. The largest group is not Korean users, but Japanese users. Of course, this is mainly because the population of Japan is more than half that of South Korea. The third largest group is the rapidly growing English registered users.

The main concentration of English registered users is still in Southeast Asia, including Singapore, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, etc. In the past few months, the growth of the number of Korean and Japanese registered users of NGN software has obviously entered a bottleneck period. There is no way, the population of these two countries is limited, so the market prospects are also foreseeable. The reason why DFJ did not value NGN high enough was due to this factor.

However, since receiving the first round of financing, or more precisely, after the launch of the "Photo Wall" function, the number of English users of NGN software has been increasing rapidly. It is proving to the world that it is not a "second-rate software" that copied the MSN idea and can only be developed in South Korea and Japan. It has the qualifications to become a giant IT multinational company.

According to Li Fuzhen, the mainstream view in the IT industry is that NGN software has already gained popularity in the English-speaking circles in Asia. This means that NGN software not only monopolizes the instant messaging software market in Japan and South Korea, but is also launching an attack on similar instant messaging software including MSN in the English-speaking world in Asia, and is rapidly seizing the other party's market.

6000 million registered users. This data may not sound very impressive, but in fact, it is an astonishing number. At least, with this data, the number of global registered users of NGN software has exceeded 2 million and is heading towards 3 million.

"I heard that MSN seems to be making a major version update in the near future," Li Fuzhen continued with a smile, "There is news that they seem to be preparing to cancel the advertising delivery function that has already been launched. Is it because MSN has already felt the threat from NGN and was forced to make corresponding adjustments?"

"Oh, I don't know much about this," An Rusong glanced at the other person and shook his head, "I haven't paid attention to MSN."

After a pause, he smiled and said, "In fact, in my opinion, NGN and MSN are not completely on the same track."

"Really?" Li Fuzhen asked with an interested expression.

An Rushong did not answer the other party directly. He looked in the direction of the main entrance of the villa, where several people were walking out of the door talking and laughing. Among them, there was a young man in a core position, someone An Rushong knew. He was Bai Jinjun's work secretary Yu Yuanlong.

The rule of "when one person succeeds, everyone around him benefits" is also applicable in South Korea, a place as small as chicken shit. It can even be said that it is more applicable. Take Yu Yuanlong for example. Before Lee Min-bo officially won the presidential election, this guy was an unknown worker. In the so-called upper-class circle, he could not even have a place. It is estimated that no one even looked at him straight in the eye.

And nowadays, regardless of anything else, at least those who come to visit Bai Jinjun have to give him some face more or less. To put it more directly, everyone has to praise him.

However, this young man has learned a lot from following Bai Jinjun. At least he knows the rules and is not arrogant without power. His humble and docile attitude from the past has not yet left him. Of course, it may also be because he has not really adapted to his new life.

The few people surrounding Yu Yuanlong had obviously just met Bai Jinjun and were about to leave. They greeted Yu Yuanlong in front of the main entrance of the villa.

"Chairman An hasn't answered my question yet," Li Fuzhen didn't get An Rusong's answer, so she followed his gaze and looked in the direction of the villa. She obviously saw Yu Yuanlong and his people, but as the eldest daughter of Samsung, even if she lost the inheritance of the family, she would not take ordinary people seriously. To be honest, if it weren't for the NGN company owned by An Rusong that interested her, she probably wouldn't look at An Rusong in the eye.

Miss Li is a real rich girl, a princess of a wealthy family. Who is An Rusong? A billionaire? Please, the title of billionaire may seem noble in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of people like Miss Li, he is nothing more than a nouveau riche with better luck.

So, Li Fuzhen quickly withdrew her gaze from Yu Yuanlong and the others, looked at An Rushong's profile, and said.

"Ah?" An Rusong came back to his senses. He looked at Li Fuzhen in surprise and asked, "What did President Li say?"

"I mean, why do you think NGN and MSN are not on the same track?" Li Fuzhen was not angry, she still asked with a smile.

"Why, President Li, are you interested in the IT industry?" An Rushong asked back.

"As long as it's something that Li Zairong is interested in and can't do, I'm interested in it," Li Fuzhen nodded without hesitation.

Good man, is she so direct in her speech? An Rusong was very surprised. He could see that the eldest daughter of the Li family had already made her family's internal conflicts public without any concealment. Of course, in the whole of South Korea, this was not a secret. Only the Samsung Li family was still trying to cover it up.

As mentioned before, Lee Jae-young was also optimistic about the Internet industry. Therefore, he borrowed a large sum of money from his father and invested in several Internet technology companies in South Korea. Unfortunately, with the bursting of the first wave of the Internet bubble, he almost lost all his money. In order to shirk responsibility, he said that South Korea did not have the conditions to build a large Internet company.

"President Lee once said that South Korea does not have the conditions to launch a large-scale Internet company," An Rusong said after a brief thought. "From a realistic perspective, President Lee is not wrong. South Korea's domestic market is small and cannot cultivate large international IT companies."

The "President Lee" he mentioned here refers to Lee Jae-young. Today, the chairman of Samsung is still Lee Jae-young's father, and he himself still holds the position of president. As for Lee Fu-jin, this "President Lee", she is only the chairman of the Shilla Hotel Group.

"But I found something different about NGN," Li Fuzhen said with a smile, "Doesn't President An have the ambition to make NGN bigger?"

Although she has lost the inheritance rights of the entire Samsung Group to some extent, Miss Li is still unwilling to admit defeat. She seems to regard slapping her brother in the face as some kind of pleasure, or even a goal in life.

"Strictly speaking, NGN cannot be considered a local Internet company in South Korea. From the day it was founded, it has never positioned the company in South Korea. Therefore, NGN Japan is doing better than NGN Korea today," An Rushong explained to the other party.

After saying this, he turned his head again and looked towards the main entrance of the villa, where Yu Yuanlong had separated from the people around him. He also saw An Rusong who was talking to Li Fuzhen, so he walked over here with a smile on his face.

In An Rushong's eyes, Li Fuzhen was indeed a very important person. If he could make friends with her, he obviously had no reason to refuse. However, compared with Bai Jinjun, Li Fuzhen's importance was obviously much lower. Therefore, he didn't want to bother with her anymore. After all, the important thing was to hurry up and meet Bai Jinjun.

Seeing Yu Yuanlong coming over here, An Rusong didn't wait for Li Fuzhen to speak again, and rushed to say: "It seems that President Li is indeed very interested in the IT industry. How about this, if President Li thinks it is necessary, we can make an appointment to meet and discuss this topic in depth and detail. What do you think?"

Li Fuzhen also saw Yu Yuanlong, and he was obviously here for An Rushong. She was very curious about the relationship between An Rushong and Bai Jinjun - she was not as well-informed as her brother, so there were some news that she could not get. This was the gap between the eldest daughter of the Li family and the heir to Samsung.

"I couldn't ask for more," Li Fuzhen said with a smile, and took the initiative to choose a time, "How about tomorrow night?"
