[Ownership of Villa No. 7, Tan Palace, priced at 88 yuan]

The fourth item Ye Chen had his eye on was Villa No. 7 in the Tan Palace next door. Ye Chen had previously obtained Villa No. 6 in the Tan Palace from the game, and the Xue family then gave him Villas No. 8 and No. 9 in the Tan Palace.

After acquiring villas 8 and 9, Ye Chen felt that the absence of villa 7 was particularly awkward; otherwise, he could have connected villas 6, 7, 8, and 9 together.

Now that the game has given him Villa No. 7, Ye Chen can send people to build four connected villas together to form a large villa, making it more comfortable to live in.

"Buy."

After thinking it over, Ye Chen clicked on the purchase option and paid.

【bite】

[Purchase of ownership of Villa No. 7, Tangong, successful (Property certificate, purchase contract, and other documents have been placed in your safe; please check them.)]

The game notified me that the purchase was successful.

After using up his fourth spending limit, Ye Chen carefully browsed the items again. A dozen seconds later, he made his decision, his gaze settling on one particular item: [9% ownership of Cartier, becoming the third largest shareholder of the Cartier Group, priced at 90 yuan].

Ye Chen already owns 30% of Cartier's shares. If he adds this 9%, he will own 39% of Cartier's shares.

After becoming Cartier's third-largest shareholder, Ye Chen will have greater say and decision-making power within the company.

"Buy."

Ye Chen clicked to purchase.

【bite】

[Successful acquisition of 9% of Cartier's shares. Congratulations on becoming Cartier's third-largest shareholder. (The acquisition agreement has been placed in your safe deposit box; please check it.)]

The fifth spending limit has been used up.

Ye Chen continued selecting items, and after some thought, he chose 8% of Hilton International Hotels Group's shares as his sixth item.

If Ye Chen acquires this 8% stake, he will have a total of 60% of Hilton International Hotels Group's shares!

After successfully making the purchase, Ye Chen used up all of his spending quota for the day, feeling quite satisfied with his purchase. He then went to rest.

One afternoon, after Ye Chen had just returned from class, a knock came at the door.

When Ye Chen opened the door, he saw three people standing there: two Chinese and one foreigner.

"Are you Mr. Ye Chen, the owner of Future Games Company?"

After Ye Chen opened the door, one of the Chinese people politely asked.

"I am, and who are you?"

Ye Chen nodded.

"Mr. Ye, I am Zhang Zhengye, the president of the Greater China region of Plani International Games Company. This is Mr. Daniel, a senior executive of our Plani International Games Group."

Zhang Zhengye introduced himself and the foreigner next to him.

As for the other one, it seems to be something like translation.

"Plaini International Games Company?"

Ye Chen had a slight impression of this company. It was a large international game company with strong financial resources, which had released many hit games. It was probably ranked among the top 20 game companies in the world.

Ye Chen let them in.

After entering, Zhang Zhengye was very polite, but Daniel had an arrogant expression, putting on airs like a senior executive of a large international game company.

"Mr. Ye, we are here today because of your company's game 'Land in the Future'."

Zhang Zhengye explained his purpose.

Before Zhang Zhengye could finish speaking, Daniel impatiently said to the translator.

“Mr. Daniel said that Plani International Games is willing to pay 30 billion to acquire everything about the game ‘Landing in the Future’, including all the copyrights.”

The translator speaks.

"Acquiring the game 'Land in the Future'?"

Ye Chen understood the other party's plan.

"Landing in the Future" is currently generating a huge buzz and is extremely popular. These established game companies have a keen eye for potential, and it's likely that Plani International Games Group has its eye on the future value of "Landing in the Future".

"I don't plan to sell it."

Ye Chen shook his head.

If it were an ordinary entrepreneur, faced with the temptation of 30 billion yuan right off the bat, they would definitely hesitate and even consider selling.

After all, the initial investment for the game "Land in the Future" was less than 10 billion.

But Ye Chen is different. First, he doesn't lack this money. Second, the "I can see the rate of return" game predicted that the value of the "Login to the Future" game is much more than this.

The translator spoke to Daniel, whose face turned somewhat grim. Just as Ye Chen was about to close the door and see the guest out, Daniel suddenly spoke again.

“Mr. Daniel said that since Mr. Ye is unwilling to sell the ‘Last Step’ game, could he sell the various derivative rights of ‘Last Step’ overseas? He is willing to pay 10 billion to buy them.”

The translator continued speaking.

"Tell him to stop daydreaming."

Ye Chen waved his hand.

With $10 billion, he'll sell all the foreign derivative rights to "Into the Future." Daniel Radcliffe's plan is really clever.

If Future Landing continues to be a huge hit, it will become a massive IP (intellectual property), and various derivative copyrights will bring countless profits.

The recently released ranking of China's top IPs features a literary work with the character "斗" (dou, meaning battle/fight) in its title, whose animated version has become incredibly popular.

The game ranked third overall and first in the gaming category is Honor of Kings.

This is still within China. If we look at the world, well-known IPs such as the Marvel Universe, Pokémon, and Harry Potter have terrifying values ​​of over 200 billion, or even hundreds of billions.

Daniel Radcliffe wants to buy the derivative rights to "Land in the Future" for a mere 10 billion? Dream on.

The translator relayed Ye Chen's words to Daniel. Daniel was furious that Ye Chen had rejected him twice in a row, and he looked at Ye Chen with great displeasure.

So he told the translator with a slightly threatening tone.

"Mr. Ye, Mr. Daniel asked me to transfer ownership to you. If you refuse to cooperate, then their Plani International Games Company might... "

"stop!!!"

Before the translator could finish speaking, Zhang Zhengye suddenly told him to stop.

The translator looked completely bewildered.

"Mr. Ye, our Plani International Games Company has no malicious intent."

Zhang Zhengye immediately expressed his stance to Ye Chen, and then whispered to Daniel that while Daniel was talking to Ye Chen, Zhang Zhengye had made a major discovery!
