Song Jae-jun and Lee Joo-hwan glanced at each other, and finally Lee Joo-hwan said with a smile, "No, no, thank you for the compliment, Chairman Lee."
Song Jae-jun, who was sitting next to him, raised his arm and waved outside.
After a while, a woman in professional attire came over with a teapot. She slowly bent down to reveal her beautiful curves, poured water for the three people, and then left with a twist of her waist.
Li Yuanbin picked up the paper cup and brought it to his mouth. He took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and then said to the two 2us representatives: "I noticed that 2us has been making a lot of moves in the metaverse field recently." It would be simpler to start the topic by talking about the cooperation that has been achieved.
The only collaboration between 2us and Kering Group is 2verse, 2us's metaverse subsidiary.
"Although our company is now vigorously developing the metaverse, there has been little progress." Song Jae-jun shook his head in distress and explained to Li Yuanbin.
Obviously, he imagined this meeting as one in which Kering asked him about the progress.
Li Zhuhuan standing by also had a sad expression on his face.
When Li Yuanbin saw this, he shook his head in disappointment and even doubted whether his decision to invest in 2us was a wrong one.
"But we won't give up! Even if there is no progress this year, maybe there will be next year! Now that we have made the decision, how can we back off!" Song Jae-jun raised his head, looked at Li Yuanbin opposite him with shining eyes, and said to him in a firm tone.
Li Yuanbin saw ambition in his eyes, which was exactly what he wanted.
Li Yuanbin was seen crossing his legs, with his left hand on his leg and his chin supported by his right hand, his eyes wandering between Song Jaejun and Li Zhuhuan.
"Do you know what conditions are needed for the metaverse to develop?" Li Yuanbin looked at the two people in front of him calmly, as if he was talking about something extremely ordinary.
Song Jae-jun paused and turned to look at Li Zhuhuan.
At 2us, Lee Joo-hwan is responsible for technical management, while the rest is managed by Song Jae-jun.
So Li Yuanbin's problem happens to be Li Zhuhuan's area of expertise.
Li Zhuhuan hesitated for a moment, then looked Li Yuanbin in the eye and replied, "The Metaverse is supported by software and hardware technologies and driven by user needs."
“Based on applications, technology, and hardware…”
"Let's talk about it right here." Li Yuanbin nodded and interrupted Li Zhuhuan here.
Li Zhuhuan took a deep breath, his brain was working frantically.
“At the application level, the replacement of real-world functions requires user demand to drive application development, and these applications constitute the ecosystem of the metaverse.”
"On a technical level, software technology is needed to support the application of communications, AI, virtual reality, blockchain and other technologies in order to achieve efficient and high-quality operation of the metaverse."
"At the hardware level, hardware devices such as communication equipment, the Internet of Things, and interactive devices are needed to support the access and operation of the virtual world."
"And on this basis, several major elements of the metaverse can be derived..."
Li Yuanbin nodded as he listened, and what Li Zhuhuan said seemed to make sense.
"Okay, let's stop here. Have you found anything?" Li Yuanbin waved his hand and said to Li Zhuhuan.
Li Zhuhuan was full of questions. He frowned and glanced at Song Jaejun. When he found that he didn't say anything, he looked at Li Yuanbin again.
Recalling Li Yuanbin’s question, the company under Kering Group that has some connection with the Metaverse is Kering Technologies.
“TikTok users and AI virtual reality?”
In an instant, Li Zhuhuan seemed to have his Ren and Du meridians opened up, and everything in his mind became clear, forming a complete chain of clues.
Li Yuanbin smiled with satisfaction: "Smart!"
"We at Kering have leading virtual reality technology and a huge user base. We can give you considerable support." Li Yuanbin put down his legs, clasped his hands on the table, and looked at the two people in front of him with a harmless expression.
Due to the original agreement signed between 2us and Kering Group, when 2verse was established, Kering Group would not interfere in the operation and R&D of 2verse.
So, if Kering Group wants to intervene, it can only acquire 2verse's parent company, which is why Lee Won-bin visited 2us.
Li Zhuhuan and Song Jaejun looked at each other with serious expressions.
Although the two people thought from the beginning that Li Yuanbin’s invitation today would not be a simple matter, they were still surprised by his bold idea.
"What does President Li mean?" Li Zhuhuan hesitated for a moment and spoke slowly.
Li Yuanbin looked him in the eye, nodded, and admitted, "It's just as you think. We at Kering hope that you, 2us, can accept our acquisition terms."
"President Li really has a big appetite..."
Song Jae-jun thought calmly for a moment and figured out the key.
Although he is not as good as Li Zhuhuan in terms of technology, his market acumen is much higher than Li Zhuhuan.
Now, Kering Games, a subsidiary of Li Yuanbin's Kering Group, has acquired most of the game manufacturers and companies on the peninsula, and has also acquired many manufacturers abroad.
To sum it up in one sentence, Kering Group is not short of money.
And its own 2us is naturally also within the plan of Kering Group's kering games.
Li Yuanbin didn't answer, but just smiled silently. He gave the two people enough time to think about it: "Let's do this for now. You two should think about it carefully. If you cooperate with us, you will definitely make money."
What he said is indeed reasonable. In the peninsula, after such a long period of development, except for the game manufacturers from the Kakao Group, most of the remaining potential and promising game companies have been acquired by Kering Games.
So what is the fate of 2us?
If Song Jae-jun were given a choice, he would definitely choose Kering Group because the technology it possesses is so advanced.
This was no longer in doubt after Song Jae-jun used TikTok.
The key to the real virtual world of the future is now in the hands of Kering Group, so 2us’ choice to join Kering Group is undoubtedly the right thing to do.
Li Zhuhuan, who was sitting next to him, had the same idea.
The two looked at each other and nodded solemnly.
Song Jae-jun looked at Lee Won-bin and said, "Kering really impressed me. Chairman Lee is really young and promising."
"Indeed, before President Li, I have never seen anyone who has achieved such results at President Li's age." Li Zhuhuan smiled and flattered him subtly.
Li Yuanbin smiled and extended his hand to the two people: "Then I wish us all the best in the future!"
Park Seol-yoon, who was sitting nearby, saw all of this and couldn't help but feel happy for Lee Won-bin.
