Zhou Chen does not currently intend to delve too deeply into the gaming field.
Because it won't be long before it attracts criticism, especially since many young people are so engrossed in it that they can't break free, leading to many parents criticizing the game.
Both Happy Match and Happy Farm are designed to further accumulate funds and build brand awareness. Currently, Happy Match is receiving positive feedback and has garnered considerable praise on the Tencent Games Store and mobile platforms.
Although Happy Farm has just been launched, its development momentum is already evident, and it's only a matter of time before it becomes a trend.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Only half a month remains until the performance-based agreement is finalized.
But some of Tencent's top executives are not happy, because they have discovered that they are about to lose to a small company.
The data for Happy Farm is very impressive.
In just half a month, the number of users reached an astonishing tens of millions, and the average time spent on the platform broke a historic record of two hours per person.
Without a doubt, this game is a smash hit!
Even though the agreed-upon deadline for the betting agreement hasn't arrived yet, given their increasingly rapid growth momentum, they are bound to lose their bet with Hope Network Technology.
Therefore, senior leaders held a special meeting to discuss this matter.
The answer was consistent: the penguin cannot lose.
Then, a heated discussion ensued about how to avoid losing.
When Su Jiajia received Qi Tianlei's call and heard him propose to cancel the betting agreement, she was shocked and immediately realized that Tencent wanted to back out.
In other words, the data for the farm game is very good.
Su Jiajia was quite dissatisfied with Tencent's actions; how could a listed company like Tencent be unable to accept defeat?
Zhou Chen frowned slightly upon learning of this.
It has to be said that the penguin's behavior was rather unseemly; seeing that it was about to lose the bet, it wanted to cancel it.
"Have Qi Tianlei call me."
"Mr. Zhou, are you really going to agree to cancel?"
Su Jiajia was unwilling to accept defeat. If she could win the bet against a listed company like Tencent, it would definitely boost the reputation of Hope Network Technology.
"We had no choice."
Zhou Chen was also unwilling, but he knew that if he did not compromise on this matter and went against it head-on, the consequences would be even more unfavorable.
Happy Farm is ultimately on Tencent's platform, and Tencent owns all the data. If Tencent wants to win, it can easily resort to dirty tricks, such as reducing recommendations or directly modifying the data. It would be very difficult for Tencent to obtain evidence against it.
Even with evidence, going to court against the legal team of Nanshan Pizza Hut would be a difficult case.
Even if you win in the end, you've actually lost.
Because of the farm game, it's ruined, and now there's a powerful new enemy: the penguin.
"I'm so upset! This is just a case of a big store bullying its customers, taking advantage of its size to bully the small ones."
Su Jiajia felt extremely aggrieved. She knew that it was best to agree to the penguin's request, since the penguin was too powerful.
There's no benefit in falling out with someone.
It's clear as it is, but it still makes me feel uncomfortable.
"One day, we will make them pay back for the humiliation we suffered today."
"Believe me."
Zhou Chen said in a deep voice.
Su Jiajia was slightly taken aback, then forced a smile and hummed in agreement.
After hanging up the phone,
Su Jiajia shook her head. Could they possibly compete with penguins in the future?
Although Zhou Chen said she would get revenge sooner or later, she thought it was too difficult and the hope was slim. As a listed company, Tencent would need to be at least a listed company of the same level to become its competitor.
It wasn't that Su Jiajia underestimated Zhou Chen, but she knew how difficult it was to build a listed company. Even with Zhou Chen's current achievements, building a listed company was still a long way off.
How many listed companies are there in China, let alone those on the scale of Tencent?
Her saying that she could only be Zhou Chen was a form of self-comfort.
However,
Su Jiajia had no idea that Zhou Chen wasn't bragging or exaggerating; Zhou Chen had already made up his mind.
He will create a product that rivals Tencent's chat software, a killer chat tool.
In my previous life, this chat software belonged to Tencent.
In this life, he will hold on tightly and seize Penguin's market share.
Secondly, he also wants to become a major shareholder of Tencent to retaliate in kind.
Qi Tianlei called first, exchanged pleasantries, expressed his admiration for Zhou Chen, then talked about the difficulties faced by Tencent, and finally proposed to cancel the betting agreement.
"Mr. Zhou, we admit that we acted somewhat unfairly in this matter, and we hope you can understand. However, we will make compensation. We will spare no effort in recommending the game to every Tencent user. We will change the profit sharing of Happy Match to the same 50/50 split as Happy Farm. Furthermore, we will continue to offer your company this profit sharing ratio in future game collaborations."
Qi Tianlei, representing Tencent, offered benefits that Zhou Chen didn't want to elaborate on. He only went through the motions before ending the call.
Anyway, he kept this in mind.
Penguin, you just wait, I'll definitely get you someday!
"Acquiring music copyrights?"
Su Jiajia was taken aback when Zhou Chen suddenly called to announce his decision to buy the music copyright.
Keep in mind that the logistics company has only just been established, and the investment is no less than five or six million yuan. This is not even a nationwide rollout yet; it's only in a few dozen of the most economically developed cities. Otherwise, it would be much more.
Purchasing music copyrights will further increase expenses.
“If we don’t buy it, Tencent will buy it sooner or later. It’s better to act first. I’ll give you a list of singers. Try to contact them and try to get the copyrights to their songs, even if it costs a little more.”
Zhou Chen originally didn't plan to get involved in music copyright so early, because it was too early for him to create the globally influential video software.
But Penguin taught him a lesson, and he wanted to get revenge. So what he could do now was to buy up the music copyrights that Penguin might be interested in later.
Upon hearing this, Su Jiajia roughly understood Zhou Chen's desire for revenge.
"Okay, I will arrange for someone to do this."
Su Jiajia also wanted to vent her anger, so she did not raise any objections.
Hang up the phone,
Zhou Chen was feeling somewhat irritable. Right now, his strength was still insufficient; he was far from being up to par.
If you own a giant company, you won't be bullied by a penguin.
Ultimately, the slow development of smartphones has hampered his business strategy.
The projects he wants to do are all based on smartphones, but so far, they haven't been completed.
It will not be listed for at least another year or two.
Or what if he develops the Android system?
A bold idea popped into Zhou Chen's mind, but the next second, he shook his head and rejected it. This was not something that could be done just by thinking about it; it required professional talent and substantial financial support, which he lacked.
