Li Xiaolong's face remained expressionless.
He had been planning for so long, hoping to take advantage of the fact that Tencent hadn't reacted yet to finalize the establishment of the Game Alliance Chamber of Commerce, thereby plunging the Dungeon game into a media storm. If he was lucky, he could also sow discord between Tencent and Hope Technology Network.
Surprisingly, the penguin also created a similar organization and received great recognition from the government.
His plan was easily shattered.
Even though Li Xiaolong was filled with resentment, he knew that his plan to target Zhou Chen and stir up the gaming industry had failed.
"Manager Qi, you have quite the skills. I, Li, have witnessed them today."
"I admire you."
Despite his defeat, Li Xiaolong remained composed and did not lose his temper. Of course, he only admitted that he had lost to Qi Tianlei, not Zhou Chen himself.
Qi Tianlei is in charge of Tencent Games. Only with Tencent's involvement can the Game Regulatory Committee be established, recognized, and become the largest non-governmental regulatory organization.
He lost because he wasn't as big as Tencent, didn't have as many connections with the government, and didn't have as much influence.
In short, all of this has nothing to do with Zhou Chen.
so,
Even if he fails, Li Xiaolong can accept it calmly.
After all, the opponent is a giant company like Tencent; who would let them suffer a loss so easily?
Li Xiaolong may have lost, but he still deserves credit.
“Young Master Li, the person you should admire is Boss Zhou. It was Boss Zhou who proposed the Game Supervision Committee. I am just the person responsible for promoting it. Moreover, we have already decided internally that Boss Zhou will serve as the chairman of the Game Supervision Committee. If Young Master Li wants to make a name for himself in the game industry, he still needs to communicate and learn from Boss Zhou more.”
Qi Tianlei, a shrewd businessman, was well aware of Li Xiaolong's intentions; he simply wanted to thoroughly disgust Li Xiaolong.
At such a young age, you're already daring to challenge the powerful. If Li Xiaolong hadn't secretly created the Game Alliance Chamber of Commerce, Tencent wouldn't have made the decision to harm the enemy a thousand while damaging itself eight hundred, and instead created a Game Regulatory Council.
The losses this incident has caused to the gaming business are in the hundreds of millions.
The culprit behind all of this is Li Xiaolong.
Qi Tianlei would never give Li Xiaolong a friendly look. Whenever he had the chance to embarrass him, he would show no mercy and pour cold water on him.
Whoosh!
Upon hearing the name 'Zhou Chen', Li Xiaolong's expression changed drastically.
Was game regulation proposed by Zhou Chen?
He also served as the president of the game regulatory association.
These two bombshell announcements were nothing short of a slap in the face for Li Xiaolong, leaving him utterly humiliated.
Qi Tianlei was telling everyone in public that Li Xiaolong's game alliance chamber of commerce was already within Zhou Chen's prediction. Therefore, he secretly set up a supervisory committee in order to turn the tables on Li Xiaolong.
Li Xiaolong, you don't want to admit defeat to Zhou Chen?
Excuse me,
You insist on letting everyone know in public that you lost to Zhou Chen.
This time, Li Xiaolong's gaze had to fall on Zhou Chen. He now understood everything. No wonder Zhou Chen agreed with the standards he proposed and even gave more detailed suggestions. It wasn't that Zhou Chen was stupid and fell into his trap. On the contrary, it was Li Xiaolong who fell into Zhou Chen's trap.
Zhou Chen remained unmoved with a smile on his face because he knew that Qi Tianlei would appear and bring out the game's regulatory body to launch a counterattack. Yet, Qi Tianlei was still complacent and self-righteous, thinking that Zhou Chen was all talk and no action and not worthy of being his opponent.
How ironic.
"Someone recently told me to know when to stop, otherwise, greed will lead to failure and all your efforts will be in vain... Young Master Li, I want to pass this advice on to you. I think you need it more than I do."
Zhou Chen said with a smile.
Li Xiaolong's lips twitched instantly.
Because these words were what he had given to Zhou Chen before announcing the Game Alliance Chamber of Commerce, and now Zhou Chen was giving them back to him, which was a slap in the face.
"Hehe, I've learned something."
"I, Li, will remember everything that happened today."
Li Xiaolong smiled, but his smile was somewhat cold.
Having said that,
Li Xiaolong didn't want to stay any longer and embarrass himself, so he turned to leave.
"Young Master Li, wait a moment."
"Is there anything else?"
Li Xiaolong stopped, turned around and asked.
"I want to confirm, Mr. Li, you are not a member of the Li family of the Hong Kong twin Li families, are you?"
"……no."
After pausing for a few seconds, Li Xiaolong uttered two words, and this time, he turned and quickly left the banquet hall.
Watching Li Xiaolong slink away, Zhou Chen's lips curled into a faint smile.
"Brother Chen, don't you know he's not a member of the Shuangli family? Why go through all this trouble?"
Wang Rui's puzzled voice rang out.
Zhou Chen chuckled but didn't answer. Instead, he looked at Zhang Hao and Li Wei.
“Rui Zi, Brother Chen’s question was obviously very meaningful. Brother Chen knows his background, but others don’t. Brother Chen’s purpose is to tell everyone present not to be fooled by him and mistake him for one of the two Li family members from Hong Kong, so that he won’t use their connections to make a big show of things.”
So many people had given him face before, they might have mistaken him for one of the two Li families from Hong Kong. But today, being questioned in public, he naturally dared not pretend to be one of those two families. Otherwise, without anyone else even bothering him, those two Li families would be the first to jump out and deal with him.
Zhang Hao saw through Zhou Chen's true intentions and explained. Wang Rui suddenly understood and immediately gave Zhou Chen a thumbs up, exclaiming "Awesome!"
"Brother Chen is indeed Brother Chen, he'll crush that little Ma."
"That guy surnamed Li really embarrassed himself today. I think he's so angry his nose is practically crooked, haha..."
The thought of Zhou Chen's brilliant comeback and the satisfaction of finally getting revenge filled Wang Rui with immense joy. He burst into laughter, completely oblivious to the stares of those around him.
Zhang Hao and Li Wei also smiled, feeling very satisfied with being slapped in the face.
"Mr. Zhou, no, Chairman Zhou, I'm sorry, I had to go to the restroom, but we were only halfway through our conversation. Let's continue. To be honest, my admiration for you, Mr. Zhou, is boundless..."
"President Zhou, our company would like to hold a joint event with your company to make friends. I wonder if you would be interested? You can rest assured, all expenses will be covered by our company."
"President Zhou, actually my hometown is also Fanjia County. In a way, we're from the same hometown..."
Before long, a large crowd gathered around, all addressing him as Chairman Zhou, wanting to befriend Zhou Chen.
This scene was exactly the same as the treatment Li Xiaolong had received before.
Wang Rui, Zhang Hao, and Li Wei left the space to those who fawned over him. While they were happy for Zhou Chen, they also looked down on these bosses who usually seemed high and mighty.
They really are opportunists, always switching sides, following whoever is stronger.
