Hongmi is also very satisfied with the price; he is now a super coach earning 3 million a year.

Of everyone present, only the puppy did not have his contract changed, and he himself did not seem to have any complaints.

Because so far, he is still the highest-paid player on the team, and he didn't sign the ordinary contracts that his teammates have, but a fully guaranteed contract like those of NBA stars, which is for eight years, not to mention the high championship bonus.

Who knows if he can play for another eight years, especially for the ADC position which requires skill; as he gets older, his reflexes will inevitably decline.

So when he looked at the team members who had only three-year contracts, he secretly looked down on them: "They're all noobs!"

At the same time, he was even more grateful for his boss's appreciation and secretly made a decision to help promote the internet celebrities under his boss's management.

After returning to Blue Hole Company, Zhang Long immediately pulled the group of internet-addicted teenagers, who were already somewhat obsessed with the internet, into the conference room.

Now is not the time to play games, because the morale of League of Legends in China is low right now. Getting the game license as soon as possible means launching the game sooner and capturing the market.

He cleared his throat: "Everyone, you've all been playing this game developed by our company for quite some time now, so you should have a deep understanding of it."

"Judging from how addicted you are, this game is bound to be a huge hit upon release!"

"Based on the principle that it's hard to get rich by eating alone, I wanted to find a group of people with status and background to join the company and become its shareholders."

“Your eldest sister, Hu Xinxin, immediately thought of you and recommended you to me.”

"That's why we had this meeting."

At this moment, seeing that Zhang Long had finished speaking, Xiao Wu quickly asked, "Brother-in-law Zhang, what are our obligations as shareholders when we join the company?"

How many shares can I get?

Seeing that someone had hit the nail on the head, Zhang Long continued, "I'm comparing this game to League of Legends, so naturally I won't be satisfied with just dominating the domestic market."

"I will spin off Guofu from Bluehole Company and register a separate company called Bluehole (China) Network Co., Ltd."

"This is the company you've invested in. I only own 51% of the shares, and the rest are yours. Whoever contributes more to the company will get more shares, and those who contribute less can just quietly be a background figure."

"Just go register with your boss later!"

"Also, you need to get game licenses for the company, one for PC games and one for mobile games."

"In addition, it will prevent other companies from trying to take advantage of the situation. It won't take long; we can just hold them off for six months."

"Finally, you need to withstand the pressure from Tencent. I believe you should be able to handle it!"

At this moment, a young man named Wang Heng stood up and said: Brother-in-law, isn't this amount of shares a bit too small? There are so many of us, it's not enough to go around.

Zhang Long smiled and said, "Do you know how much money you can get from one percent of the shares every year?"

"For a PC game alone, if the profit reaches a certain level, the minimum stock dividend of 1% per year would be at least 50 million. If you add mobile games, do you think that's not enough?"

Upon hearing Zhang Long's words, everyone present gasped in shock.

If what he said is true, then this is indeed a significant concession, allowing them to reap the benefits.

"However, as you all know, I can only eat as much as my appetite allows, and the Chinese server is saturated."

"But international servers are still an option. As long as you can secure distribution channels in various countries and get the game available overseas, including promotion, I can give up a portion of my shares."

Zhang Long didn't completely reject them, but the overseas shares weren't so easy to acquire.

These shares are all intended as a bargaining chip with those foreign giants.

Xiao Wu was the quick-witted one. While everyone was still whispering among themselves, he ran to Hu Xinxin's side and said, "Big Sister, I'll take care of the game license."

"For the next six months or so, no games similar to PUBG will be approved."

How many shares do you think I can own?

As she spoke, she blinked at the leader.

"Fuck!"

"You damn cunning Wu dog."

"Boss, I can handle this too!"

Then the meeting room erupted into chaos, turning into a bustling marketplace with everyone talking at once.

Zhang Long voluntarily left the office; the situation was now beyond his control.

I can only leave it to my capable wife.

Hu Chao also came out with them, and he also got a share, becoming an invisible shareholder.

The two leaned against the wall by the door and started smoking together.

Now that it's just the two of them, he's been a bit more casual.

"Brother Chao, have you any ideas about the overseas shares?"

"If you have any, say it as soon as possible."

Hu Chao was very satisfied with his future brother-in-law and patted him on the shoulder.

"Ah Long, we're all family, no need to be so polite. Use those shares to win over other people!"

To be honest, Zhang Long's shares were used to bind these people. These days, which powerful family doesn't have some overseas connections? It's not like it's illegal.

The meeting quickly ended under Hu Xinxin's suppression, and everyone got the results they wanted.

Seeing such a massive mountain of gold right in front of them, very few people could remain unmoved.

These people had taken on some tasks from the external servers, and Zhang Long thus maximized their initiative.

All they had to give up was a small percentage of shares.

The saying "It's easy to get things done if you have connections in the court" is absolutely true.

Less than a week after the meeting ended, Bluehole's two game licenses were approved.

There were no issues at all; they only raised a few minor questions, and the review was completed and approved on the same day.

In other words, it only took about half a month from inviting these people from Beijing to obtaining the game license, during which the group of internet-addicted teenagers played the game for about a week.

That's incredibly fast! If our competitors knew, I wonder if they'd be green with envy!

After obtaining the game license, Bluehole began a large-scale promotion, especially since it has a huge number of streamers under its wing.

In less than a week, PUBG's popularity soared on live streaming platforms.

Those streamers who got access to the game's beta test were like they'd found the key to traffic.

Many people started streaming PUBG, and even if you're a terrible player, there are still plenty of viewers who enjoy watching.

With numerous shareholders starting to exert their efforts, the game is not only gaining momentum in China, but also in the North American, European, and Asian servers, where it is beginning to generate buzz in various countries.

Even many people traveling abroad are complaining about it on Weibo.

Posters for this game are everywhere, but unfortunately, we still have a long wait.
