Chapter 452 Deep Cooperation (5K)

The two sides exchanged greetings for a while, and Tony Ma introduced Zeng Wenjie to the senior executives present today.

People in the gaming department are the most enthusiastic about Zeng Wenjie.

Because, they racked their brains but still couldn't figure out how to monetize the traditional chess and card games in Penguin Game Hall!

As a result, Zeng Wenjie came up with the Happy Beans, which instantly made them suddenly enlightened. Now, recharges are pouring in.

Everyone has a gambling nature, and Happy Beans are not related to gambling. They allow people to earn money safely without having to touch gambling. It is really a good thing to have the best of both worlds.

"Is this your first time making a game, Mr. Zeng?" Kong Wu, the head of the gaming department, asked curiously.

"It is indeed the first time in my life that I have made a game," said Zeng Wenjie.

"Tsk, this is incredible! The first game has a peak online audience of one million, it's simply terrifying." Kong Wu couldn't help but say.

Zeng Wenjie, who is currently writing "Fights Break Sphere", felt strange when he heard the words "so terrifying" and almost started to laugh regardless of the occasion.

Tony Ma smiled and said, "Mr. Zeng won this bet with his own strength. According to the agreement, I will give you the shares of Penguin Game Hall. Today, I even invited some journalist friends to witness it."

Tony Ma originally thought that "Hero Killer" might be a good game, but he didn't expect it to be so good. As soon as it was launched, it became a super hit!

The craze of "Hero Killer" swept the country in an instant. Who among the netizens who had a computer and played games would not be addicted to killing?

The emergence of this game has also added a lot of new users to the Penguin Game Hall.

New users are the most valuable users because they have greater potential for discovery.

So, Zeng Wenjie signed the contract in front of reporters and got his own shares.

“Pah pah pah pah——”

Everyone at the scene applauded, and Yuan Xiuqin was so excited that she wanted to jump up and cheer.

My boss is so awesome that he actually won the shares of Penguin Game Hall from Tony Ma!

The current Penguin Game Hall is no longer what it used to be. It has a strong monetization capability. How much is the daily recharge of Happy Beans? Zeng Wenjie is like getting a cash cow!

Tony Ma smiled and said to Zeng Wenjie, "Congratulations, Mr. Zeng, you will be a shareholder of our Penguin in the future!"

Zeng Wenjie said, "I have to thank Mr. Ma for his generosity."

Tony Ma said, "It's not that I'm generous, but you have such strength. Otherwise, even if I gave you a chance, you wouldn't be able to catch it! In short, Mr. Zeng is amazing. You can be called a young hero."

He also quoted an ancient Chinese text.

Zeng Wenjie said, "The success of Hero Killer is not only due to my ideas, but also to the technical support provided by Penguin. Without Penguin's strong support, I wouldn't have been able to develop the game so quickly, and have it be so well-received by players!"

Tony Ma said: "This is the embodiment of win-win cooperation. I am very happy to work with such an outstanding young person like Mr. Zeng. I hope we can continue to cooperate in the future."

Zeng Wenjie said, "I also like working with Mr. Ma because he is straightforward and doesn't ask for money."

Penguin is a wealthy family, and the development costs of a game like "Hero Killer" are not even a drop in the bucket for them.

However, they were able to develop such a super hit game with such little funding, which was so exciting that they would wake up from their dreams!

Recently, those shareholders have called Tony Ma frequently, praising him for his brilliant move that no one could understand. They even urged him to contact Zeng Wenjie more often to see if he could get any more good ideas to enhance the monetization capabilities of Penguin's software.

"Mr. Ma, Mr. Zeng came here not only to fulfill the gambling agreement, but also to discuss a bigger plan with you." Zheng Shouyun brought up the topic at the right time.

When Xiao Ma Ge heard this, his eyebrows immediately raised and he said in surprise, "Oh? Really? Then I'm all ears."

Zeng Wenjie smiled and said, "Let's talk about it later, let's talk about it later..."

Tony Ma nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, then let's talk in my office later. After that, we'll go have dinner. Mr. Zeng's "Hero Killer" has created such a miracle online, it's something worth celebrating!"

Not long after, Zeng Wenjie and Tony Ma went to the office to talk, accompanied by Yuan Xiuqin and Zheng Shouyun.

As soon as the door closed, Tony Ma's secretary poured some tea and then left temporarily.

Zeng Wenjie shared his idea with Tony Ma, who seemed thoughtful but not very interested.

Zeng Wenjie asked, "Could it be that Mr. Ma doesn't want our game to go global through the platform?"

Upon hearing this, Tony Ma sat up straight and asked, "Mr. Zeng, do you mean that this platform is for players all over the world?"

Zeng Wenjie nodded and said, "Of course. Otherwise, what's the point of building this platform? And, with all due respect, Penguin Games doesn't have a very good reputation. We can improve Penguin's reputation through this collaboration."

Tony Ma smacked his lips and fell into deep thought.

"Players who purchase games on the platform are forced to settle with QB. This way, when the game is promoted overseas, overseas players who want to buy the game will have to recharge QB." Zeng Wenjie said meaningfully.

Tony Ma's eyes lit up immediately. He has always attached great importance to the value of QB and even thought about making QB a virtual currency that can replace actual currency to a certain extent.

Through this gaming platform, not only can the value of QB be enhanced to a certain extent, but you can also earn foreign exchange!

Tony Ma no longer hesitated and said, "Boss Zeng, please bring out the specific details. Let's discuss it carefully. After we have discussed it, let's cooperate!"

Zeng Wenjie said: "The specific details will definitely need to be negotiated slowly, such as equity distribution, operational issues, technical support, etc..."

"Most importantly, I need the full cooperation of the Penguin Games department."

Tony Ma asked, “For example?”

Zeng Wenjie said: "For example, we can port all Penguin games to the platform. Of course, users can also directly launch them through the game client. There is no interference between the two. It is just that by logging into Penguin games through the platform, you can receive certain benefits, such as game coins and equipment."

Tony Ma fell into deep thought. Games can be said to be one of the basic industries of Penguin. They make the most money from games!

Therefore, he has to think carefully about everything related to the game.

"Of course the platform has to be logged in through QQ. This actually has no impact on Penguin. It just uses its games to help the platform quickly go through the development period." Zeng Wenjie said with a smile.

Tony Ma nodded and smiled, "But to establish a gaming platform like this, you must have excellent games. Not to mention going global! Going global requires high-quality games."

Zeng Wenjie said, "I already have a top planner under my command, and I'm also considering scouting for talented producers in Japan. As long as Mr. Ma is willing to cooperate, I can guarantee the effective and stable production of excellent games, attracting overseas players to the platform!"

Tony Ma felt that this young man was really arrogant. He had only made a game called "Hero Killer", but he dared to make such a boast.

No matter how awesome "Hero Killer" is, it's just a simple card game, far behind those top foreign masterpieces.

If it were someone else, Tony Ma would just laugh it off and think the other person was bragging.

But Zeng Wenjie is an amazing young man with an outrageous amount of halos around him. He is also strongly supported by the Chongshan Provincial Government, who even set up a business alliance specifically for him, which shows how much they value him!

Therefore, Zeng Wenjie's words made Tony Ma fall into deep thought and entanglement.

“Well…regarding Mr. Zeng’s cooperation request, I need to consult with the team before giving a clear response.” Tony Ma said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter. This is a big deal. It's reasonable for President Ma to be more cautious." Zeng Wenjie said with a smile.

Tony Ma was still very tempted. After all, Zeng Wenjie had the ambition to take the platform overseas, which was very important for Penguin!

Penguin is currently limited to China. Although some people use it abroad, most of them are Chinese. It is too difficult to develop overseas users!

If this gaming platform can really go overseas as Zeng Wenjie said, and can continue to produce excellent games to attract overseas players, then it would be really awesome and a very feasible plan.

When it was almost time for dinner, Tony Ma invited Zeng Wenjie to go out for dinner and also invited some senior executives from the company to join in the fun.

Zheng Shouyun has the best relationship with Zeng Wenjie, so of course he is on the list. However, Tony Ma doesn't know that he is already a traitor and may jump to Zeng Wenjie's game company at any time.

Zeng Wenjie still highly recognizes Zheng Shouyun's abilities. After all, it takes some ability to reach such a high position in Penguin at the age of just over 30.

The two were recently discussing the issue of shares. After the deal was reached, Zheng Shouyun formally submitted his resignation application to Penguin.

Yuan Xiuqin couldn't help but ask, "Boss, will Mr. Ma agree? He seems very interested!"

Zeng Wenjie said, "Such a big deal definitely needs to be considered. After all, gaming is one of Penguin's core businesses. We want all of their games to support this platform, which is a big deal."

Yuan Xiuqin nodded slightly and sighed, "I didn't expect that you and Penguin would have such a big collaboration."

Zeng Wenjie smiled and said, "It's us. Aren't you also a member of the Game Science Studio?"

Yuan Xiuqin said, "I'm so glad I had the nerve to join Game Science. Looking back now, it's truly my honor and luck."

Zeng Wenjie said, "Don't underestimate yourself. You're very capable. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been hired! Besides, you've been working the hardest since we started developing Hero Killer. Once the game's revenue is paid, your bonus will surely make you feel satisfied."

"Thank you, boss!" Yuan Xiuqin immediately agreed happily.

During the meal, Tony Ma did not talk to Zeng Wenjie about the platform anymore, but instead talked about the game "Hero Killer".

Zeng Wenjie admitted that he really didn't expect Tony Ma to come to Fengyuan in person to find him, and he never thought that he could reach a cooperation with Penguin.

Tony Ma laughed out loud after hearing this, and said that it was his honor to visit Fengyuan, and that he could sleep well because Penguin Game Hall was able to solve its monetization problem.

The people in the gaming department took turns toasting Zeng Wenjie, and even he, a young man with a good alcohol tolerance, was drunk.

Yuan Xiuqin helped Zeng Wenjie block a lot of alcohol, and he drank so much that he felt dizzy and his face was red and hot.

As she was intoxicated, the look she gave Zeng Wenjie became more and more infatuated and admiring!

This man is so strong!

He is only nineteen years old, but he has achieved what many people dream of.

Then, Yuan Xiuqin sighed, feeling extremely envious of Mu Qingyang for being pursued by such a boy.

She thought about her suitors again. What a bunch of childish and unsophisticated people they were...

In fact, Senior Sister Yuan is quite outstanding herself, and those who dare to pursue her are naturally not bad either. Some of them can even be called elites, but she insists on comparing these people with Zeng Wenjie, this cheating bastard.

Is there any comparison between elites and cheaters?

All the professional players were pinned to the ground by the spinning big brother.

Then, she couldn't help but think of the ambiguous scene that happened when she was watching the excitement at the "Village BA" in Taixiang; then, she thought of the scene when she was on the plane today.

As a result, her face became more rosy, and there was a hint of charm in her eyes, like Feng Xiao's peach blossom eyes.

But fortunately, he was drunk and no one noticed anything.

"Mr. Ma and I are now close comrades-in-arms. We have the collaboration on "Hero Killer" and your investment in my snack shop." Zeng Wenjie said with a smile.

"There are actually a lot of people who want to invest in your snack shop. The reason I get priority is because we have worked together before. When you develop and start the B round of financing, the amount will not be this amount anymore." Tony Ma smiled meaningfully.

The snack food industry is in a state of panic. Zeng Wenjie's expectation for its Series A financing is around 80 million yuan, and even 6,000 to 7,000 yuan is acceptable. But the B round is different. After receiving the Series A financing, he is confident that he can grow rapidly with this money and let more investors see his strength. Therefore, the goal of the B round is to at least increase the financing amount by four to five times, to around 300 million yuan.

The snack shop industry is too new and makes people feel that it is somewhat not worthy of being mentioned. In fact, it has great potential. After all, it has a very precisely positioned customer base.

Food is the most important thing for people. Especially after Zeng Wenjie deeply tied and linked the Snack Panic brand with the four words "food safety", sales increased even faster.

Parents always tell their children that snacks are unsafe, dirty, and eating too much will affect their health. But Snacks is very panicking because food safety is guaranteed. That makes the problem easier. The first place that enthusiastic parents think of when buying snacks for their kids is Snacks is Snacks very panicking store!

Zeng Wenjie was eating the crispy roast goose and couldn't help but glance at Yuan Xiuqin.

Yuan Xiuqin suddenly felt extremely strange. What kind of look was that?

She didn't know that Zeng Wenjie was imagining the connection between her and roast goose...

"This roast goose is really delicious. I'm going to come here later to vacuum-pack a few and take them back for my friends to taste." Zeng Wenjie smiled at Yuan Xiuqin. He also felt that his eyes were too presumptuous, so he began to explain.

"It's delicious, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and very juicy..." When she said the last four words, she was suddenly stunned and knew why Zeng Wenjie looked at her with such a strange and presumptuous look.

Zeng Wenjie nodded and said, "Yes, it's fatty but not greasy, and has a long aftertaste! I have to say, the roast goose in this restaurant is really delicious."

Wang Xingzhi then said flatteringly, "Of course, Mr. Zeng, you may not know that our Tiannan roast meat is a specialty. The roast goose in this shop is especially delicious. People line up to buy it every day."

Zeng Wenjie thought about packing a few more roast meats and taking them back to let Mu Qingyang taste them one by one. She was from Tiannan Valley, her hometown, and she would definitely like the taste.

Forget about pickling it raw. It won’t be as fresh if you pack it up, and it’s more troublesome to bring it with soup.

Thinking of Mu Qingyang holding the roast goose and turning into a little foodie to eat it voraciously, Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but smile.

He was still looking at Yuan Xiuqin. Seeing this smile, Yuan Xiuqin felt sweet in her heart. She felt that the sweetness was about to flow out. She even wanted to take advantage of the alcohol to confess her feelings.

But fortunately, this impulse was fleeting, otherwise, it would have been really embarrassing!

"Mr. Ma, if this cooperation is successful, I will send Ms. Yuan Xiuqin to Shenzhen to live permanently. I hope you can take good care of her." Zeng Wenjie greeted Tony Ma in advance.

Then, he smiled at Wang Xingzhi and said, "Mr. Wang, too. Please take good care of her. Ms. Yuan is just about to graduate from university."

Wang Xingzhi hurriedly said, "Of course, Mr. Zeng, don't worry!"

At the same time, he secretly wondered what kind of cooperation this outstanding young man was going to reach with his boss?

Following Zeng Wenjie's words, everyone also gave Yuan Xiuqin a few compliments.

This made Senior Sister Yuan feel a little flattered, and she quickly became humble.

At school, when people praised her, she would accept it as a matter of course, but in this kind of occasion, she didn't dare to be too high-profile.

Today, when she came to Penguin's headquarters, she saw several beauties, all of whom were tall and elegant. As for her appearance, she didn't feel proud at all when others praised her.

Zheng Shouyun was rather depressed during the meal, completely different from how he was in Fengzhou.

Zeng Wenjie feels that this may be one of the reasons why he is willing to change jobs.

The banquet ended around nine o'clock. Zheng Shouyun said to Zeng Wenjie, "Mr. Zeng, you should have a good rest. I'll go back to my doghouse to clean up."

Zeng Wenjie smiled and said, "Okay, you have to come and show me around Penguin headquarters tomorrow."

Zheng Shouyun yawned and said, "Forget it. Let Mr. Wang make the arrangements. This is his responsibility."

Zeng Wenjie and Yuan Xiuqin were taken to a five-star hotel by car.

Penguin has a cooperation with the hotel, and VIPs visiting will be arranged to stay here.

Yuan Xiuqin felt inexplicably awkward being alone with Zeng Wenjie, so she simply pretended to be drunk and dozed off in a chair.

Zeng Wenjie looked at the hustle and bustle of traffic outside the window and fell into deep thought.
