Chapter 518: Surprised

In the evening, Actoz Soft software company representative director Cui Xiong and other company executives hosted a banquet for Li Xiaofan and his party who came all the way from Singapore.

The Actoz company's dinner was arranged in Boam-dong. The "dong" in Korea is equivalent to the domestic street area.

It only takes a few minutes from the hotel where Li Xiaofan and the others stayed to reach Fuam Cave through the bustling and noisy Gyeongbokgung Palace.

Li Xiaofan and Lin Muchiu discovered that when the car turned at Xiaozi Cave, the city filled with high-rise buildings instantly transformed into a small town surrounded by rolling mountains.

At the end of the stone road connecting every household in the alley here, there is a natural scenery of green mountains and green streams, and at the end of the forest there is a quiet traditional Korean courtyard. This courtyard is where the restaurant is located in the evening.

Entering the courtyard, you feel as if you are in a small garden, with small bridges, flowing water, green trees, rockery rocks and small waterfalls, which are quite Chinese.

The prototype wooden pillars support the blue brick roof, which reveals a strong traditional Korean architectural atmosphere, permeating every brick and tile.

One of the highlights of this restaurant is its environment and scenery. As you slowly climb up the wooden ladder to the private room on the second floor, the restaurant's exterior walls are replaced by glass, allowing you to take in all the beautiful scenery of Fuyan Cave.

Sitting by the window, you can see the green hills and green mountains under the setting sun not far away.

Tasting authentic Korean food in this picture-scroll-like environment made Li Xiaofan and Lin Muchiu feel good.

It seems that Actoz Soft software company attaches great importance to Li Xiaofan's visit.

As is customary in Korean cuisine, before the main meal is served, more than ten exquisite appetizers are served to each person's table.

Various side dishes inherited from the royal cuisine of the Joseon Dynasty are placed on the table. The dishes are steamed, grilled, hot and mixed. They are so rich and lustrous that just looking at them is enough to make you salivate.

"Director Li, this is our most traditional Korean-style restaurant in Seoul. Are you satisfied?" Cui Xiong, the representative director of Actoz Soft software company, asked with a smile.

"Very good, I like it very much, thank you for the arrangement!"

Cui Xiong handed Li Xiaofan a drink list printed in Korean and English: "Director Li, take a look, what should we drink tonight?"

"As guests wish, you can just have some of your local Seoul wine." Li Xiaofan said with a smile.

"Would you like to try our Korean Soju Soju? For example, Andong Soju, Gyeongju Gyodong French Liquor, and our local specialty aromatic pear wine, azalea wine or pear ginger wine?"

After listening to Cui Xiong's dazzling list of soju names, Li Xiaofan smiled and said: "Director Cui, it doesn't matter. You can just order one or two kinds of wine..."

Listening to the Korean pronunciation of "Soju" as "Soju", Li Xiaofan felt that the pronunciation was very close to the dialect of his hometown. It seems that many of the characters and pronunciations of Goryeo were copied from mainland China.

Cui Xiong then helped everyone order two kinds of traditional Korean wines, "Wangpear Liquor" and "Azalea Liquor."

The first fragrant pear wine, the main ingredients are millet and sorghum.

Li Xiaofan took a sip. The aroma was rich, the taste was mellow and palatable, strong but not strong, and the flavor was unique.

The second azalea wine is a wine made from azalea flowers and glutinous rice. Because azaleas contain honey, the wine tastes slightly sweet.

The vegetarian pancakes served by the waitress are Li Xiaofan's favorite. The moment the waiter served the dish, he was already attracted by the aroma of the fried vegetables. Although there was little batter and it was not crispy, it was full of vegetables. It was served with dipping sauce and it felt like eating it with Kimchi kimchi. Very cool.

There is also the boiled pork belly platter that Li Xiaofan likes. Vegetables, kimchi, pickled radish, tofu, and homemade sauce accompany the fat but not greasy pork belly. The skin of the meat is very strong, the fat part is very refreshing, and the meat slices do not have a strong taste overall, and have a light braised aroma.

It comes with kimchi and two kinds of dipping sauces on the pork belly, such as the miso soybean sauce in "Dae Jang Geum" that goes with the pork belly to make it even more delicious.

There is also shrimp soup, and a surprising combination: a piece of kimchi paired with a piece of pork belly, refreshing!

Seeing that Li Xiaofan was eating happily, Cui Xiong and others kept pouring wine into Li Xiaofan's wine glass. They have a custom here that you cannot refill your own glass, but ask guests to refill it to show respect.

After drinking several bottles of hot wine, Li Xiaofan became familiar with Cui Xiong, Park Guanhao and others from Actoz Company.

After some exchanges, Cui Xiong graduated from the Economics Department of the famous Yonsei University in South Korea. He had been working in the securities and financial industry before. His biggest hobby in his spare time was playing computer games. In the fall of two years ago, I invested in the establishment of Actoz Soft software company with several game players and developers from the Computer Science Department of National University.

Two years ago, in a cafe near Kookmin University in Seoul, South Korea, several students in the computer group were excitedly discussing an online game they had recently conceived. Cui Xiong was very interested after hearing this, and immediately invested 5,000 yuan. Ten thousand Korean won funded their business, and then they established Actoz Company. At the beginning of the business, each member of the team was responsible for a project. 60% of the project profit went to themselves and 40% to the company. The project that Park Guanhao's team was responsible for was a game called "Legend of Mir"...

A partner of Actoz Company next to Li Xiaofan secretly told Li Xiaofan that Cui Xiong's family had a very powerful background and was a well-established family. He has two brothers, one is a Korean diplomat, and the other is a senior executive of a major Korean media group...

After three rounds of drinking, Cui Xiong toasted Li Xiaofan with a glass of wine while he was still drunk, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Li, you came to inspect our company this time. I heard that you are interested in investing in our "The Legend of Mir" game project..."

Li Xiaofan drank the full glass of Dujuan wine in front of him, and smiled and said to Cui Xiong, Park Guanhao and several other founders of Actoz: "Yes, I not only want to invest in your company's "The Legend of Mir" game, but also want to acquire your Actoz company. Can you please give me a price?"

The olive branch thrown by Li Xiaofan surprised Cui Xiong, Park Guanhao and several other founders of Actoz. They were very surprised. Before, they only heard from the Korea Trade Promotion Corporation that Li Xiaofan and his team came from Singapore and were interested in investing in their "Legend of Mir Legend Overlord War" game, but they didn't expect Li Xiaofan to be interested in acquiring their entire Actoz company.

As they were not prepared, Choi Woong and Park Kwan-ho and other founders of Actoz also told the truth. They replied to Li Xiaofan that they would discuss and consider it when they went back, and then talk about the whole topic during the formal meeting tomorrow.

The meeting was originally scheduled for the next morning, but because of Li Xiaofan's sudden intention of merger and acquisition, the meeting between the two parties was delayed to the next afternoon.

Choi Woong and Park Kwan-ho and other founders of Actoz discussed the valuation of the company and the game for most of the day...
