"What, you don't agree?"
Jiang Mingchao was astonished.
He'd thought Huanyu Technologies was only looking out for their own interests, and had no intention of playing along.
He hadn't expected Huanyu Technologies to directly disagree.
"I think Chairman Ma of Penguin is right. The cost of developing the platform can't be passed on to the developers. Instant messaging is a niche market, and there's not much profit to be made. If we sign this agreement, I'm afraid we'll all go bankrupt. "
Chen Yu hadn't planned to speak.
In principle, he agreed with Ding Lei's strategy. The two sides would work together to deal with Penguin.
But after arriving here, Chen Yu discovered that things weren't as simple as they seemed.
With the power of the mobile DreamNet, even if they could work together to deal with Penguin, if the mobile DreamNet wasn't happy, it could come back and create an unfair contract that you'd have to sign.
In the face of such a powerful platform, the developers had no choice but to work together.
This was also the reason why Chen Yu had stepped forward to speak up.
"You're sure you don't agree?"
"Chairman Jiang, I've made myself clear."
"Good, very good."
Jiang Mingchao was furious.
He had never thought that Huanyu Technology would disagree with his request.
"Chairman Jiang, Penguin has thought it over, and we don't agree."
Chen Yu's sudden appearance surprised Ma Huateng.
He hadn't expected Chen Yu to support him at this critical moment.
His heart was filled with excitement, but Ma Huateng once again expressed his disagreement.
"Chairman Ding, what about you?"
Finally, Jiang Mingchao looked at Ding Lei.
Two out of the three were against it, and only NetEase was left.
If NetEase agreed, Jiang Mingchao would set NetEase as an example.
In the short term, this would be beneficial for the NetEase bubble.
But seeing Chen Yu's stance, Ding Lei was also analyzing the pros and cons.
Of course he knew why Chen Yu wouldn't agree.
His meaning was clear. If Jiang Mingchao could force Penguin now, he could force Huanyu Technologies in the future.
Similarly, he could threaten NetEase.
Rather than fighting for their own benefits, why not join forces with the three families?
If the three of them worked together, they could still negotiate with DreamNet. If one of them split up, it wouldn't be good for any of them.
"NetEase also disagrees."
In the end, Ding Lei gave his answer.
He also saw the situation clearly. It was impossible for him to offend all of his peers for the sake of the current market.
"Good job."
"You guys really put on a good show for me today."
"Good, good, good …"
Jiang Mingchao said "good" three times in a row, flicked his sleeves and left the venue.
"Thank you, Boss Chen."
After Jiang Mingchao left, Huateng Ma thanked Chen Yu. "If it weren't for you, Penguin would have been forced to accept this contract."
"Don't thank me. Since you've accepted the contract, we have to accept it too. I'm not helping you. I'm helping myself. "
Chen Yu sighed.
"Thank you, Mr. Ding."
"Don't. Like Brother Chen said, I'm just helping myself."
Ding Lei shook his head. "But this time we've gone against Jiang Mingchao's wishes. I'm afraid we'll be in for a lot of trouble in the future. Our Bubbles and YY will have to spend a lot of effort to connect to DreamNet. "
"Don't worry, Mr. Ding. Jiang Mingchao isn't the only one who has the final say in DreamNet. Besides, our country is investing heavily in the development of the internet. They can't mess around. "
"I hope so."
Chen Yu nodded.
He didn't place his hopes on the mobile DreamNet.
After this incident, he finally understood.
If he wanted to grow his strength, he had to rely on himself.
…
"Zou Tao, how's the game coming along?"
"Everything's in the middle of intense development. But don't worry, we'll finish on time."
"No, we have to speed things up. Starting today, I'll throw myself into development as well. "
Back at Shin Fung, Chen Yu's first priority was to throw himself into the game's development.
The battle between YY and QQ was still to be fought. It wasn't something that could be finished in a short time.
Every big shot was unique in their own way. Ma Huateng was even more so.
It was impossible to beat QQ in a short time. This was destined to be a protracted battle.
What was most important in a protracted battle was resources.
What was resources? When it came to the internet, it was money.
As long as you had money, you could fight a protracted battle.
If you didn't have money, you'd be the first to fall.
Huanyu Technologies still didn't have any financing. They couldn't fight a protracted battle with only 5173.
If they wanted to make money, the fastest way was to make games.
"Ah, Boss Chen, you're doing development too?"
"What, are you afraid I don't understand?"
"No, development is very tiring. Sometimes it's common to pull all-nighters."
"That's no big deal. I used to play games all night."
Chen Yu shook his head. "Besides, if I were to come in, I might be able to save you a lot of trouble."
This wasn't a bluff.
Chen Yu didn't know much about technology, but when it came to foresight, there were few people in the world who could surpass him.
Chen Yu had played countless online games in his previous life. No matter the settings, levels, or gameplay … Chen Yu could come up with a bunch of them with his eyes closed. More importantly, Chen Yu knew if some settings and gameplay were suitable for the market. This would prevent Huanyu Technologies from making mistakes in the future.
"Oh my god, Boss Chen, you're serious."
"Of course. Let's go to the R&D department."
"Okay."
Zou Tao quickly followed.
"Boss Chen, we haven't given the game a name yet."
"Let's call it Legendary World."
"Legendary World, good name."
In the following time, Chen Yu ate and lived with the R&D staff in the company and entered the frontline R&D department.
At first, the group of technicians and Zou Tao thought that Chen Yu was here to cause trouble.
Wasn't it a joke for the CEO of a company to be involved in R&D?
However, under Chen Yu's occasional pointers, they felt as if they were enlightened.
Especially when they couldn't figure out the problem after thinking for a long time, Chen Yu could solve it with just a few words.
It was just like the economic system in the game.
How to let the pay-to-win players spend money and how to let the ordinary players benefit?
This had stumped them for a very long time.
Chen Yu came up with the idea of letting the pay-to-win players sell point cards in the game.
The pay-to-win players could earn money through the point cards and upgrade their equipment.
The ordinary players could sell their gold coins and buy point cards to achieve a free game.
This was a win-win situation.
Of course, this model wasn't invented by Chen Yu. This was the setting of Fantasy Journey to the West.
It was just that Chen Yu got the Legendary World in advance.
Unknowingly, two months passed.
The development of the Legendary World was finally completed through the efforts of Huanyu Technologies.
Huanyu Technologies' first game was about to be released.
