Chapter 489 The Future of WG (10K)

The next day, Zeng Wenjie arrived at the agreed location on time, wearing a very formal suit but no tie.

When Teacher Sa saw him coming, his face was full of smiles.

Now, Zeng Wenjie is one of the big celebrities in the General Administration. There is no host who doesn't want to do his show, because he is so popular that any news involving him will often become a hot topic.

Recently, several programs produced by Teacher Sa have been very popular, but they cannot be called particularly popular. This time, he brought in Zeng Wenjie and focused the topic on the most controversial online game in recent years. There is no doubt that it has the potential to become a super hit.

The studio was not very big, and there were about dozens of audience members sitting in the audience.

Teacher Sa asked, "Mr. Zeng shouldn't feel nervous, right? After all, he's done so many shows and even sang on The Voice of China."

Zeng Wenjie smiled and said, "That's not the case, but this is my first time working with a host other than Yan Xinyi, so I'm still a little uncomfortable with it."

Teacher Sa said with a humorous smile, "How about I put a Xiaoyan mask on my face?"

Some preparation.

Teacher Sa stood in the studio in a black suit, gave a brief opening speech, and then asked questions to the audience who had been lying in ambush, leading the topic to online games.

The audience member was a middle-aged woman. She said: "I think online games are harmful and have no benefits. Although the country has introduced anti-addiction policies, they are not very effective! Anti-addiction measures only prevent addiction after two hours of game time. In-game revenue decreases sharply with the duration of play. This cannot effectively curb minors' internet addiction..."

After the audience members spoke, Professor Sa said, "Well, today we'll focus on the controversial topic of online games! And, today we've invited Mr. Zeng Wenjie, the founder of Game Science and a partner of Penguin Group. Please welcome him with applause!"

Zeng Wenjie entered the venue to the applause, bowed to the audience and guests, and sat down on the sofa diagonally opposite Teacher Sa.

Teacher Sa is a veteran host with top-notch ability and experience. After Zeng Wenjie entered the show, he quickly took control of the overall rhythm of the program.

Zeng Wenjie sat very relaxed, but his posture was still relatively upright, which was consistent with his outwardly upright personality.

"Mr. Zeng is the founder of a game company and has created popular games such as "Hero Killer" and "Hollow Knight". What do you think of current online games?" asked Teacher Sa.

"Moderate gaming is good for the brain, but excessive gaming is harmful to the body." Zeng Wenjie said concisely with a smile.

Teacher Sa nodded and said, "Many parents believe that online games are harmful and have no benefits."

The topics of this episode were all rather sharp. Zeng Wenjie and Yan Xinyi both speculated that Teacher Sa was most likely following the orders of the big boss and specially arranged the program while Zeng Wenjie was in Yanjing.

But Zeng Wenjie has now seen countless ups and downs, and he began to answer Mr. Sa's sharp questions about online games in an orderly and clear manner.

In addition, while answering the questions, some regulatory plans for minors addicted to games that seem very advanced and effective at the moment were also put forward.

Zeng Wenjie said, "As a responsible gaming company, Game Science owes its due responsibility to Chinese youth and parents. The WG gaming platform will soon launch a 'Parental Monitoring Program'. Parents can use this simple program to enter a password and set a time, strictly and effectively controlling minors' gaming time to prevent addiction."

As soon as he said this, the faces of several game company managers who were invited as guests turned pale instantly.

I think Zeng Wenjie is a real bastard. He eats with a bowl in his hand and smashes the pot when he puts the bowl down!

"Moreover, we will launch an 'unconditional refund for minors' mechanism. If parents find that minors have recharged on the WG game platform, they can contact our customer service and submit evidence. After review, the recharged funds will be returned to the original account." Zeng Wenjie added.

The executives of those game manufacturers felt a sharp pain in their teeth, thinking that this bastard was harming others and not benefiting himself. The impulse consumption of minors is a huge source of income for the manufacturers!

Before this, although the situation was very serious, no specific policies were introduced. Unless the amount was too large and the impact was widespread, it was impossible to refund the money.

Now, this bastard Zeng Wenjie wants to introduce such a mechanism, which is simply cutting off everyone's source of income. Penguin, which has had deep cooperation with him, has been stabbed in the back. Won't they turn against him?

In fact, Zeng Wenjie had already seriously discussed the country's strategies and policies regarding games with Tony Ma, and described to him what the future regulation of the game market would be like.

Tony Ma listened carefully to the advice, and considering his ambition to cooperate with Zeng Wenjie to promote WG, he felt that there was really no need to focus on the trivial matters of minors, so he agreed to his approach.

Because Xiao Ma Ge also knows very well what it feels like to be hit by an iron fist. Instead of doing that, it is better to cooperate with Zeng Wenjie, please the authorities in advance, and even help the authorities promote supervision in this area.

In this way, we can gain word of mouth and establish good relations with the authorities, and the review of future games will be relatively relaxed.

Teacher Sa sighed, "Mr. Zeng is truly an entrepreneur with conscience, a sense of responsibility, and a sense of purpose. With such a vision, it's no wonder he has achieved such success at such a young age."

Zeng Wenjie said, "You're too polite, Mr. Sa. I just feel that I should take some responsibility for making this society a better place. It's the duty of young people like me to work hard to achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation."

He has said this more than once in public.

If it were ten years later, he would definitely be criticized for playing with patriotism all day long, but this set of sentiments is very popular in this era and is loved by the bigwigs.

However, if such remarks are made too often, they are very likely to backfire.

Although Zeng Wenjie has not personally experienced this kind of backlash, he has seen many cases of backlash before. Therefore, he takes every step carefully and uprightly, and never gives others the opportunity to find fault.

He wants to ensure that every time the companies under his management undergo a thorough inspection by the audit department, they are clean and problem-free.

Those guests were eager to come up and shut Zeng Wenjie's mouth. The suggestions and measures proposed by this bastard were simply blocking everyone's financial path!

Zeng Wenjie had no choice. What Teacher Sa said to him made him realize that he was in a delicate area. If he took a wrong step, he would be warned with a big stick by some bigwigs.

Then, Teacher Sa asked several guests to comment.

The guests felt extremely helpless, but they had to praise Zeng Wenjie against their will and say some polite words.

After the show was over, Zeng Wenjie felt relieved.

Teacher Sa said to Zeng Wenjie, "Mr. Zeng's performance today was very stable and excellent. Moreover, some of the professional suggestions he provided were very practical. The leaders will definitely consider whether to adopt them."

Zeng Wenjie said: "I hope this can be of some help. Supervising the healthy growth of young people is everyone's responsibility."

Teacher Sa smiled. He was actually quite helpless. He came here with a mission and had to bite the bullet and ask some sharp and offensive questions.

Fortunately, Zeng Wenjie was able to understand what he meant, and he was broad-minded enough to know how to cater to his superiors' wishes.

"The program will be broadcast soon. Mr. Zeng, please promote the WG game platform well. I also hope to see our country's games make money from foreigners." Teacher Sa patted Zeng Wenjie on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Does Teacher Sa play games sometimes?" Zeng Wenjie asked.

Teacher Sa said, "I play it occasionally, but I almost broke my computer playing Hollow Knight!"

Zeng Wenjie said: "It doesn't matter. As the boss, I almost smashed the computer too."

Teacher Sa burst into laughter.

It is difficult for players to adapt to this high-difficulty game, but after completing a level, they will feel an incomparable sense of pleasure and accomplishment when recalling the process of dying repeatedly in front of the BOSS, then fighting back and forth with the BOSS, and finally defeating the BOSS.

The main feature of Souls-type games is the pleasure of finally succeeding after dozens or hundreds of failures.

Games that only involve mowing down the grass and killing people will get boring after playing for a few times. Games that have difficulty and depth can attract more players.

For example, the popular "Black Myth: Wukong" would not have such high popularity and good reviews if it had been smooth sailing without difficult bosses such as the White-Robed Scholar, Tiger Vanguard, Poisonous Enemy King, and Erlang Shen.

The most important thing is that this is not about defeating strong enemies by spending money, but about defeating strong enemies by honing your will and skills again and again. The feedback obtained from the two is completely different.

"Is it convenient? If so, let's have some tea together and then I'll treat you to dinner." Teacher Sa asked.

"Of course. I happen to have a program that I want to discuss with Teacher Sa. I hope Teacher Sa can apply to the leadership together with Yan Xinyi." Zeng Wenjie said.

Teacher Sa said, "Great! Mr. Zeng's ability to produce programs is obvious to all. It's my honor to be able to talk to him about this!"

As the founder of "The Voice of China", "Village BA" and "Village Super", Zeng Wenjie can be said to be surrounded by halos. Everyone thinks that every idea of ​​his is genius. The "Masked Singer" that is currently being recorded sounds good, but I wonder how the ratings will be after it goes online?

Zeng Wenjie plans to grab as many variety shows as possible from the neighboring station in the future, making Chongshan TV a major variety show station. At the same time, he can make enough money from copyright fees and also allow his products to collaborate crazily and gain a large number of fans for the show.

After listening to Zeng Wenjie's explanation of the program, Teacher Sa was also dumbfounded and said, "It's amazing! This idea is amazing!"

Zeng Wenjie seemed to see Teacher He praising the beans for being so great!

"I don't want a penny of copyright fee, just a name on it is enough. Promoting traditional culture is our unshirkable responsibility," Zeng Wenjie said with a smile.

"This program is amazing, amazing! Well... after Xiaoyan writes the plan, I will report it to the leader immediately." Teacher Sa said.

He looked at Zeng Wenjie and said seriously, "Besides, with your name on it, the application process will go very quickly, and the implementation will also be very fast."

Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but laugh and said, "I didn't expect that I still have this kind of face?"

Teacher Sa said, "It can't be helped. Every time you speak in public, you're so popular with the leaders! Of course, I'm not saying you're a flatterer, don't get me wrong."

Zeng Wenjie said, "Teacher Sa, there's no need to explain this. You can discuss the specific details with Yan Xinyi. I just want to be a hands-off boss."

Teacher Sa exclaimed, "Don't worry, Mr. Zeng. I'm absolutely confident that this program will be approved! Besides, I'm sure the leaders will like it very much."

After chatting a lot with Teacher Sa, when it was time for dinner, he called Yan Xinyi and invited her to have dinner together.

Zeng Wenjie sent a message to Qin Yixuan saying that he was out for a social event and asked her to wait for him at the hotel later.

Seamless connection is very necessary. It is too shabby for a billionaire to be a pilot himself.

Yan Xinyi had just finished get off work and rushed over with a rough version of her plan.

"Teacher Sa, Wenjie, how was today's show?" Yan Xinyi put down her bag and said with a smile.

"It's not bad, but the guests we invited may not be in a good mood." Zeng Wenjie said helplessly.

Teacher Sa said, "In fact, more powerful regulatory policies will definitely be implemented in the future. Mr. Zeng, what you said on the show just brought it forward a bit. I think the sooner the regulations are implemented, the better. That way, there won't be any chaos during future large-scale rectifications, and everyone will be able to accept and cooperate."

Yan Xinyi winked at Zeng Wenjie and asked, "Have you told Teacher Sa about that?"

Zeng Wenjie said: "Of course."

Yan Xinyi immediately handed the rough draft of the plan to Teacher Sa and said, "Take a look at this. This is the first draft. I'll need to revise it later. After you read it, please provide some suggestions on how to impress the leadership and get approval for this project."

Teacher Sa pointed at Zeng Wenjie and said, "You underestimate Mr. Zeng. If his name is signed on this, how can it be rejected after it is submitted?"

Zeng Wenjie felt a little flattered by these words. He had never expected that he would have such a status in the General Administration.

It’s true that I’m not in the world, but my legend is everywhere in the world!

"Wenjie is busy with the snacks and B round of financing, so he won't have much time for meetings in the future. You need to make this clear to your boss in advance to avoid any misunderstandings." Yan Xinyi said.

Teacher Sa flipped through the plan and asked casually, "What is Mr. Zeng's target for Series B funding?"

Zeng Wenjie said: "Let's set a small goal for him first, to raise 300 million yuan."

"Small goal???"

Teacher Sa suddenly raised his head and looked at him, the corners of his mouth twitching. Wow, three hundred million is a small goal, right?

Mr. Wang: MMP, this guy has finished showing off!

Zeng Wenjie said: "The financing target is no less than 300 million yuan, and ideally 500 million yuan. We will invite more listed companies to invest."

Recently, the Snack Panic team has contacted a number of listed companies in the food industry and negotiated with them about financing. Currently, two companies have been finalized, both with investments worth hundreds of millions of yuan.

Penguin led the A round, and will certainly continue to increase investment in the B round. Moreover, when we were in Shenzhen two days ago, Tang Xi said that she would lead the B round.

Teacher Sa smacked his lips, thinking that Zeng Wenjie was only nineteen years old, how could he spend so much money?

In fact, Zeng Wenjie raised funds in order to burn money on the supply chain. As the industry expands and more and more franchise stores are opened, the supply chain will have to undergo another adjustment.

The supply chain burns a lot of money, but it makes a lot of money after that, and... people who work in this position have many opportunities to make money.

Zeng Wenjie could only turn a blind eye to this, as such things were difficult to prevent, but he also had a bottom line. If anyone dared to cross the red line of food safety, he would immediately arrange a one-stop service of calling the police, collecting evidence, and prosecuting.

In this short period of time, he has personally sent two managers to jail. The two brothers did not take much, but the products of the manufacturers they bribed were found to contain excessive levels of E. coli. Zeng Wenjie even personally contacted the provincial government to strive for the fastest solution, in order to demonstrate his zero-tolerance attitude towards food safety.

"If you can raise 500 million in this round of B funding, it will really shock the world." Yan Xinyi couldn't help smacking her lips.

Nineteen years old, college student, entrepreneur, these concepts mixed together really give me a feeling of being invincible.

Zeng Wenjie smiled and said, "That's good too. It can warm up WG's overseas expansion. Foreigners will pay attention to me and know that WG is my industry. Maybe they will flock in to try it out."

Teacher Sa glanced through the plan Yan Xinyi brought and said, "Look at my stupid brain! The food hasn't even been served yet! I'll go back and take a closer look at the plan. Let's finalize this within a week."

Yan Xinyi said, "Thank you for your hard work, Teacher."

Teacher Sa said, "Xiaoyan, aren't you being disrespectful to me? I'm afraid Mr. Zeng only wanted to bring me on this show because of you!"

Zeng Wenjie laughed and said, "That's not the case. I just like Mr. Sa's hosting style. I've been watching your show for many years and I'm a fan."

Teacher Sa laughed and said, "Anyway, I don't believe it!"

Teacher Sa has reached his current position because he is a smart man. Although he may not see through some things, he can roughly understand them.

He was quite concerned about Yan Xinyi, his junior, after all, they were senior and junior classmates who graduated from the same university.

After the dishes came, Teacher Sa pulled Zeng Wenjie over to drink and chat. Unexpectedly, Yan Xinyi also took the initiative to pour a glass of wine.

"Can you drink?" Teacher Sa asked in surprise.

"Wenjie came up with such a great idea to let us do the show. In this kind of occasion, if I don't have a couple of drinks, wouldn't it be a bit unworldly?" Yan Xinyi said.

Teacher Sa smiled and said, "Drink if you want, but don't get drunk. People who drink for the first time tend to get drunk more easily!"

Yan Xinyi smiled and nodded. Zeng Wenjie glanced at her. The girl was quite secretive. It seemed that no one in the entire General Administration really knew that she could drink, right?

In fact, some people know about it, but they won’t be gossipers.

While drinking, the three of them talked about the program "China in Classics". Zeng Wenjie took out some details and explained them carefully.

Before I knew it, two bottles of white wine were finished and the show was almost over.

Teacher Sa exclaimed, "Mr. Zeng truly lives up to the name of a genius. After chatting with you today, I'm completely impressed by you!"

Zeng Wenjie said, "A good show needs a good host. I think with Mr. Sa's cultural background, he can perfectly control this show. Yan Xinyi's experience is still relatively young, so she's suitable to be your assistant. After all, to play a historical figure on the spot, it takes a veteran actor, and a host with many years of experience like you, to handle it."

After eating and drinking to their heart's content, the party ended.

"I should be back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Since you are busy with work and don't have time to meet, let's see each other next time!" Zeng Wenjie said.

"Okay, although we have only met twice since you came to Yanjing, every time I was very happy." Yan Xinyi said with a smile.

"I hope it will rain heavily next time." Zeng Wenjie whistled and said.

Yan Xinyi's smile froze, and she couldn't help but raise her fist as a small warning.

Zeng Wenjie asked, "You're saying goodbye without a hug?"

Yan Xinyi thought for a moment and said, "It's better to leave a lingering aftertaste, so that you will never forget it."

Zeng Wenjie said, "The next sentence of 'never forgetting' is that there will be a response. So if I keep thinking about it, will there be any response?"

Yan Xinyi came closer, perhaps because she had drunk a little more, so she was a little bolder, and kissed him on the cheek, saying, "Yes!"

After saying this, he turned and was about to leave.

Zeng Wenjie pulled her wrist, pulled her back into his arms, and suppressed her.

Wouldn't this be a deep kiss that people will never forget?

It’s not that easy to just run away after getting a good program!

After a brief panic, Yan Xinyi did not resist and was even a little intoxicated. The scene of hiding from the rain in the Forbidden City yesterday kept flashing back in her mind. She had to admit in her heart that being ambiguous with a man like Zeng Wenjie was really intoxicating!

Sure enough, Yan Xinyi's mind was in a mess because of Zeng Wenjie's move.

She was originally thinking about the show, but now, the show was thrown out of her mind, and her mind was full of the long and suffocating kiss just now.

Even after returning to the dormitory by car, Yan Xinyi was still in a mess. She subconsciously sent a message to Zeng Wenjie: "I arrived safely."

"I'm busy." Zeng Wenjie's response was concise and to the point.

Yan Xinyi originally wanted to chat with him for a while, but after seeing this message, she stopped replying and became even more anxious.

How could a goddess-level person like Yan Xinyi have ever experienced such a situation? She had no experience in handling it, relying entirely on intuition. Moreover, he didn't think Zeng Wenjie would find any excuses to perfunctory her.

Subjectively, I think that since I am willing to send him a message, he should be happy to reply.

If you say you are busy, then you are really busy.

Zeng Wenjie was indeed busy, but he was busy making seamless connections and enjoying the long night with senior Qin.

When Qin Yixuan came today, she was carrying a backpack filled with some very different clothes and stockings, which were the kind of clothes that really understood men.

When Zeng Wenjie opened the door and came in, he was stunned. He didn't expect Qin Yixuan to be so charming.

Since Senior Sister Xiao Qin was so well-behaved, Zeng Wenjie revealed some information about the B round of financing of Xiaoxiaohenpan to her, so that she could get advance information so that she could take the initiative when the time comes.

"Wenjie, am I being a good boy?" Qin Yixuan put the cigarette into his mouth, lit it for him, and then asked softly.

"Yes." Zeng Wenjie looked at her, holding a cigarette in his mouth.

Qin Yixuan then said tentatively: "I want to buy a small house in Yanjing, I wonder if it's possible?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "I suggest you wait two or three years before buying a house after you've been employed. If something unexpected happens during your career, wouldn't the house be wasted?"

He is not a fool. An apartment in Yanjing is not cheap. The housing prices here are the highest in the country.

Although if he buys it now, there will be great potential for appreciation in the future, it is his money after all.

Qin Yixuan felt a little disappointed. She was just testing him and didn't really want him. But the result of the test made her feel a little bad. She felt that her position in his heart was somewhat low.

"If you buy a house like this with your family background, it will arouse suspicion. Let's do this. After you become a regular employee, I will find an opportunity for you and buy you a house that will satisfy you." Zeng Wenjie said calmly.

Then, after hearing this, Qin Yixuan began to PUA herself, thinking that the reason why he didn't agree at the first time was not because she was not important, but because he was thinking about her own good.

Zeng Wenjie is not a stingy person, he just doesn't want to be a victim. If Qin Yixuan remains so obedient and maintains such a relationship with him for two or three years, it's okay to give him a gift.

If we buy a house now and then let him be a man of the grassland, it would be a world-class injustice.

Qin Yixuan smiled and said coquettishly: "I knew you were the best to me!"

"Hiss... stop it. You're wearing black stockings and I can't handle it." Zeng Wenjie reached out and pushed her legs.

Senior Qin, however, stuck to him regardless, thinking that she was still more skilled than Yuan Xiuqin, that big-breasted, brainless woman. Even though she had fallen out with Zeng Wenjie before, she was still the one who came out on top.

Yuan Xiuqin, who has big breasts and no brains, was ruthlessly exiled to Shenzhen. Although her status was improved, she has no chance to cling to Zeng Wenjie's thighs!

Thinking of the advance information Zeng Wenjie had told her from time to time, she felt even more satisfied, and immediately lowered her head and began to stammer.

After practicing all the men-understanding series that Qin Yixuan brought, Zeng Wenjie sent a message to Yan Xinyi: "Just finished."

Yan Xinyi, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, immediately replied: "It seems that becoming a billionaire is not easy, huh?"

"Not asleep yet."

"I was woken up by you."

"I'm so sorry!"

"Go to sleep, and look forward to seeing you next time."

“Keep in touch.”

Yan Xinyi didn't reply to the letter, but her mood was no longer so bad. After lying down for a while, she sighed helplessly.

Everything is your own choice, and you can't blame anyone. What you want to get, you need to pay for it.

There are no gifts in life that come for free.

The next day when I arrived at the office, I happened to meet Qin Yixuan.

Qin Yixuan bowed slightly and said obediently: "Senior Sister, good morning!"

Yan Xinyi nodded and said, "Xiao Qin, Wenjie has been in Yanjing these two days. Have you met him?"

Qin Yixuan said: "When we met, we had a meal together."

Qin Yixuan, who was already proud and arrogant, did not want her relationship with Zeng Wenjie to be known to outsiders. Although it felt a bit self-deceptive, she did not want outsiders to say that she was able to gain a foothold in the General Administration because of Zeng Wenjie.

"Why do I feel like you've become more beautiful recently?" Yan Xinyi asked with a smile.

"Really?" Qin Yixuan touched his cheek in surprise, "Thank you for the compliment, Senior Sister."

The two of them chatted and laughed as they entered the unit, but Qin Yixuan noticed that his senior sister seemed to be worried.

At this time, Zeng Wenjie, who had just gotten up, received a call from Tang Xi.

Tang Xi asked, "Is Mr. Zeng still in Yanjing?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "Yes."

Tang Xi said, "I happen to be here too. Come out and have a chat. I can introduce you to a friend who might be helpful with your WG's overseas venture."

Zeng Wenjie immediately perked up and said, "Okay, I'll be right there!"

He found the place according to the address given by Tang Xi. It was a high-end teahouse. It seemed that people with a certain status liked to go to places like teahouses.

This reminded him of the Yashe Teahouse that Zeng Mi had previously run.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the teahouse, I met a man wearing glasses. He looked to be about 27 or 28 years old, well-mannered, with fair skin and a refined temperament.

Lin Dong was also stunned after seeing Zeng Wenjie.

Zeng Wenjie didn't know him, he only knew his name, but he knew Zeng Wenjie, after all, he had seen him countless times on the news.

"Mr. Zeng, do you have the leisure to come here for tea today?" Lin Dong asked.

"Hello." Zeng Wenjie didn't know the other person and could only nod in greeting.

Since it was Tang Xi's invitation, he didn't want to delay any longer. After a brief greeting, he hurried upstairs.

Lin Dong's right hand, which was about to be stretched out, was immediately retracted. His face looked a little unhappy, but he said nothing.

Zeng Wenjie went upstairs, found the private room, knocked on the door, and after hearing Tang Xi's voice, he pushed the door open and went in.

Tang Xi was dressed casually, and opposite her sat a middle-aged man in a suit. He looked very energetic and had an extremely calm temperament.

"This is Secretary Zhang, the person I want to introduce to you today." Tang Xi waved to Zeng Wenjie and said.

Secretary Zhang looked up at Zeng Wenjie, smiled slightly, and said, "Young man, come and sit down. I've wanted to meet you for a long time."

Zeng Wenjie walked up, extended his hand and shook hands with Secretary Zhang, saying, "Hello."

He was a little puzzled. Why didn't Tang Xi introduce more about Secretary Zhang's background, and just simply gave him a title?

There is no need to introduce him, after all, he is often in the news, and anyone who pays attention knows him well.

Secretary Zhang asked with a smile, "Could you please tell me what WG's annual revenue target is after going overseas?"

Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but glance at Tang Xi. This kind of data is confidential.

But Tang Xi nodded slightly at him, indicating that he should speak directly.

Zeng Wenjie was a little surprised. Who exactly was this Secretary Zhang?

He pondered for a moment and said, "In the first one or two years, revenue won't be very high, around $100 million. But if I follow my own plan, after Dark Souls launches and more game copyrights are released, this figure should increase tenfold..."

Secretary Zhang frowned slightly after hearing this, but he was not shocked by the number, but rather... felt that it was too little?

"Hollow Knight is a game designed to open up overseas markets, and Dark Souls is a game designed to establish WG's overseas foundation. Subsequent plans are proceeding according to plan. In about eight years, around 2015, revenue should reach $3.5 billion," said Zeng Wenjie.

Secretary Zhang said, "Compared to Nintendo and Sony PS, there's still a big gap, right?"

These words made Zeng Wenjie become serious. This Secretary Zhang was up to something.

After a moment's silence, Zeng Wenjie continued, "Yes, they have been developing for so many years, and they also have a huge amount of exclusive copyrights, which is something we at WG cannot match."

Secretary Zhang smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I think it's a remarkable thing that a game company like this has emerged in China. Currently, our game market can only earn money from our own people, not from abroad. Your WG has plans to expand overseas and is confident, which is a good thing."

Zeng Wenjie felt that Secretary Zhang had a leadership aura.

Since he was able to be introduced by Tang Xi, I'm afraid the person he serves is a little bit extraordinary?

"Not only can we not make money from abroad, but we also have to spend money to purchase copyrights from abroad to operate it." Zeng Wenjie smiled helplessly.

Tang Xi couldn't help but glare at him. Isn't that Penguin? Penguin spends a lot of money every year to buy copyrights from South Korea and operate them.

However, this is indeed a fact and cannot be refuted.

Otherwise, Zeng Wenjie's WG overseas expansion plan would not have caused such a sensation once it was exposed.

Secretary Zhang said, "Could you please elaborate on your plan so I can hear it?"

Zeng Wenjie did not suspect anything at this time and started talking seriously to Secretary Zhang.

Secretary Zhang didn't say much during the whole process, just listened and nodded, until he encountered some points that he didn't quite understand, then he interrupted and asked questions.

After listening to Zeng Wenjie's explanation, Secretary Zhang said thoughtfully, "That's quite good. Product strength is indeed the key. However, are you so sure that Dark Souls can establish WG's position overseas?"

Zeng Wenjie smiled and said, "Dark Souls will be launched in 2008, or at the latest in early 2009. Even if its launch doesn't bring WG the overseas audience we envision, it will definitely be enough for me to launch the next game that will attract overseas audiences. I still have a lot of great content in my mind, one of which will greatly promote our Chinese culture and spirit."

Secretary Zhang did not think that the young man was bragging because he had already made enough incredible achievements.

"So, ten years from now, WG's revenue will definitely reach more than 5 billion US dollars?" Secretary Zhang asked.

Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but calculate Steam's revenue in his mind. Sony's revenue exceeded 20 billion US dollars this year, and its net profit was almost 2 billion US dollars.

He nodded and said, "2017, that will definitely be no problem."

Nowadays, mobile games are the most profitable thing.

But Zeng Wenjie certainly wouldn't say this, and it's not certain whether he will be able to stay alive or continue doing business by then.

Secretary Zhang seemed somewhat satisfied and said, "Okay, I've remembered everything you said. Is there anything else you want to add?"

Zeng Wenjie felt like he was here to report to him.

He shook his head and said, "I've said almost everything I need to say. There shouldn't be anything left out."

Secretary Zhang smiled and said, "That's great. Xiao Zeng, keep up the good work. I'll help with WG's overseas expansion."

Zeng Wenjie hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Thank you, Secretary Zhang!"

Tang Xi also nodded slightly to Secretary Zhang and said, "Thank you very much."

"Ms. Tang, you're too polite. Excellent companies and excellent entrepreneurs are worthy of our help and support," said Secretary Zhang.

Just as he finished saying this, the door of the teahouse box was violently kicked open and an aggressive young man rushed in.

"Zeng Wenjie, right? I heard that you've been pursuing Yan Xinyi recently and are very close to her?"

An arrogant rich young man who was most likely being taken advantage of kicked the door and rushed in, looking aggressive, as if he was ready to grab Zeng Wenjie and beat him up.

Tang Xi and Secretary Zhang were both stunned, because they had never encountered such a thing in their lives.

People at the top level are indeed a little confused when they encounter things of this level.

Zeng Wenjie also frowned and found that he did not know the other person, but he could guess from the other person's words that he was most likely Yan Xinyi's admirer. However, how could he find this place accurately?

As soon as this aggressive young man walked into the private room, he froze on the spot as if he had been suddenly anesthetized.

He stared at Secretary Zhang, his lips trembling as he stammered, "Zhang... Secretary Zhang, why... are you here?"

Secretary Zhang glanced at him suspiciously, thinking he looked familiar. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Are you Mr. Wen's grandson? I seem to have some impression of you."

"Yes...it's me, I'm Wen Sishun." The young man who was arrogant and bad-tempered just now instantly turned into a good boy and said with a flattering look on his face.

Secretary Zhang asked, "So, what's going on? Kicking my door? Cursing at my guests?"

Wen Sishun was so frightened that his face turned pale, his lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a word.

Secretary Zhang gave him a deep look and said, "Do you want me to call and ask Mr. Wen about this?"

Wen Sishun fell to his knees with a thud and said, "Secretary Zhang, I really didn't mean to do that. I just heard from that kid Lin Dong that Zeng Wenjie was pursuing Yan Xinyi recently and was very close to her, so I got so excited that I ran over here... I, I really didn't know you were in there!"

Zeng Wenjie asked, "How did Lin Dong know I was here?"

"He said he met you at the door." Wen Sishun poured out the beans from a bamboo tube.

Secretary Zhang waved his hand calmly, his expression unchanged, and said calmly, "Don't do it again."

Wen Sishun was not a fool. He knew that he was being used by Lin Dong to deal with Zeng Wenjie, but he came willingly at that time because he was furious when he heard that Zeng Wenjie and Yan Xinyi were close.

But when he rushed in, he kicked the steel plate and ran into Secretary Zhang!

"It's not good for young people to hold grudges too much. They deserve a lesson, right?" Tang Xi asked calmly.

"Don't worry, Miss Tang, I will do it." Secretary Zhang responded in a calm tone.

Zeng Wenjie laughed when he heard this. It turned out that the pretty boy with glasses he just met was Lin Dong. He didn't expect him to be so sinister!
