The group got into the car and arrived at the NetEase building.
I was stopped by the receptionist as soon as I entered the company.
"Hello, who are you looking for?"
Shen Fang smiled: "Looking for Fatty Ding, and a beautiful lady."
The receptionist, of course, knew who Ding Pangzi was. This morning, Ding Pangzi had given Li Jinghui a sound beating, leaving him in a terrible state. The company was in an uproar. Nobody expected things to turn out this way. Now, the entire NetEase company is in a state of panic. In less than a year, the company's top management has been fighting for power. First, Ding Pangzi was kicked out, then the company's CTO, COO, and CIO were all removed by Li Jinghui one by one. The company experienced a financial crisis, its stock was delisted, and then rumors circulated that the company was going to be sold. Just a few days ago, there were rumors that Tencent was going to acquire NetEase. Now, Li Jinghui has been beaten up, and Ding Sanshi has returned to power. What has happened at NetEase in this year is something that other companies might not see for ten years.

Seeing that the group were impeccably dressed, looking like social elites, the receptionist quickly dialed Ding Sanshi's number. Why didn't his secretary answer? Because his secretary had been fired.
Before long, Shen Fang and his group saw Ding Pangzi, who was staring at the messy-haired guy with a big smile.
"Hahahaha, President Shen, Sister Xin, Brother Ma, Brother Dong, you're here! Hahahahaha."
Little Ma looked at Fatty Ding with great disdain.
"Why don't you dress up a bit? You look like a refugee."
Fatty Ding was a little embarrassed.
"Ahem, well, I left in such a hurry this morning that I haven't had time to pack yet."
"Mr. Ding, it seems you've regained control?"
Fatty Ding quickly offered cigarettes to the group, personally lighting them for Shen Fang, Shen Kun, Little Ma, and Jiang Zhidong. Then he lit a cigarette for himself and took a deep drag.
“I’ve already dealt with Li Jinghui; I made him take the blame. Mr. Shen, Brother Ma, the rest is up to you.”
Shen Fang nodded.
"Let's go inside and take a look."
Fatty Ding led Shen Fang and the others on a tour of the NetEase building. After a brief glance at the current state of NetEase's employees, Shen Fang came to the conclusion that the company was doomed if it wasn't saved.
Some were sleeping, some were playing games; the employees were distracted, but you can't really blame them.
Inside Fatty Ding's office.
"Ding Pangzi, NetEase has been wrecked beyond recognition. You need to reorganize the company and win over the team. This is the first thing you need to do. NetEase has suffered too much damage."
Fatty Ding nodded.
“I know that, but Mr. Shen, it takes money to boost morale. Right now I have no supplies, so how am I supposed to win people’s hearts?”
Looking at Fatty Ding complaining about being poor, Shen Fang knew that Fatty Ding was genuinely poor.
"I'm here to bring you money, that's what we agreed on."
Ding Sanshi nodded: "I have prepared the transfer documents. I will repay your kindness tenfold. From now on, I, Ding Sanshi, will be your loyal little brother and follow you at your beck and call. From now on, Penguin will be my big brother."
Ding Sanshi produced the share transfer documents.
Shen Fang completely disregarded Ding Sanshi's words of gratitude. Knowing Ding's character, he figured anything Ding said was nonsense. Ding was only acting as his underling and acknowledging Tencent as his superior because NetEase needed Tencent's support. There was no way he would serve Ding hand and foot. In business, there's profit; friends are those with mutual benefit, enemies are those without. Besides, the two companies' main directions were aligned, so conflict was inevitable.
However, Fatty Ding will definitely give me face. In the future, when Little Ma and Ding Sanshi fight, I can act as a peacemaker and say a few words of advice.
The transfer of 20% of the shares is valued at 50 million.
Shen Fang and Ding Sanshi signed the agreement and pressed their fingerprints on it, which took effect immediately.
"The payment will be transferred to you tomorrow. Fatty Ding, is Xu Bo from your game department still at NetEase? As far as I know, he was the one who spearheaded the project for your company's upcoming product, Fantasy Westward Journey, which is scheduled to launch next year."
When Ding Pangzi heard Shen Fang mention Xu Bo, his eyes narrowed, and he adjusted his glasses as he looked at Shen Fang.
"Mr. Shen, why are you still paying attention to him?"
Shen Fang could tell from Ding Pangzi's expression that he was overthinking things.
"I didn't mean anything by it, and I didn't mean to steal your girlfriend. I'm your savior right now, and you just look down on me like that?"
Fatty Ding chuckled: "This guy is very talented. I gave him a long vacation to work on this project at home. Originally, I was planning to start a new company and bring him along, but now that I've regained control, he'll naturally come back to continue making this game. Mr. Shen, do you need to see him? I'll have him come over to meet you."
Shen Fang was relieved to hear that Xu Bo was still around. Xu Bo was the founder of Fantasy Westward Journey; without him, there would be no Fantasy Westward Journey, and without Fantasy Westward Journey, NetEase would have virtually no chance of making a comeback. Even if he could revive NetEase by manipulating the stock market, what would happen afterward? One must be strong oneself to succeed. It seemed that Fatty Ding had some ability to grasp the core of the company, which put Shen Fang at ease.
