Three days later, Chen Lei happily returned to TX headquarters.
"Beep! Outsiders are not permitted to enter!"
Huh? What's wrong? Is the access control system broken? Let me try again.
"Beep! Outsiders are not permitted to enter!"
At that moment, the security guard came over.
"Hello sir, who are you looking for?"
"I'm Chen Lei, the deputy director of the investment department. I'm very familiar with your security department."
Upon hearing this, the security guard picked up his pager and asked a question.
"Section Chief, do you know someone named Chen Lei? He said he's the deputy director of the investment department."
Chen Lei was even preparing to greet the other party.
All that was heard was a voice from the other end of the pager.
"I don't know him."
Then there was no sound.
Upon hearing this, the security guard looked up and said to Chen Lei.
"Sir, if you are looking for someone, please register and make an appointment at the front desk."
"No, I really am Chen Lei from the investment department. It must be a problem with the access control system."
"Sir, if you continue like this, I'm going to call the police."
Chen Lei was speechless. What was going on? This wasn't what he expected. Shouldn't he be the hero, the one who had returned as a king?
Why can't we even get through the door now?
It must be a problem with this access control system. When I see Mr. Ma later, I'm going to tell him all about it!
Then, Chen Lei took out his phone and dialed Little Ma's number.
"Beep beep beep..."
No one answered the phone.
Chen Lei thought that Little Ma was probably busy, after all, he was the big boss.
Just then, Chen Lei saw a colleague he knew returning from outside, preparing to go upstairs.
"Hey, hey, handsome, wait for me."
"Hmm? Mr. Chen? What brings you here?"
"I just came back from Lashou.com. I completed the task that Mr. Ma gave me, and I came back to report to him, but it seems that the access control is broken and I can't get in."
Xiao Shuai walked over and tested the access control system.
"Beep, welcome!"
Then, as if he had suddenly thought of something, Xiao Shuai looked at him with a strange expression.
"Huh? What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Chen Lei asked, puzzled.
Xiao Shuai looked around and, seeing that no one was around, whispered.
“Yesterday, a personnel appointment and dismissal notice was posted on the company intranet, but I only saw that you were dismissed from your position as deputy director of the investment department, and I didn’t see that you were appointed. At the time, I thought that your appointment had not been decided yet, but now it seems that you may need to confirm with HR.”
After Xiao Shuai said that, Chen Lei understood. His lips twitched. No way? This was too sudden.
After Xiao Shuai finished speaking, he patted Chen Lei on the shoulder and quickly left.
Chen Lei took out his phone, scrolled through his contacts for a while, found the number for TX's HR department, and dialed it.
"Hello, this is the Human Resources Department of TX Group. Who are you looking for?"
"Hello, this is Chen Lei from the investment department. I can't get through the access control downstairs. I wanted to ask if my appointment documents haven't been processed yet?"
Even now, Chen Lei still clings to a last glimmer of hope.
But reality is cruel.
"Oh, Chen Lei, we haven't had a chance to inform you yet. You've already been fired by the company. It was General Manager Ma who personally gave the order, on the grounds that you betrayed the company's interests and damaged the company's assets."
"Huh? That's impossible. I spoke with Mr. Ma on the phone just yesterday."
"I don't know about that. All I know is that it was a personal order from President Ma, and our HR department was just following orders."
After saying that, the phone call ended.
Chen Lei listened to the busy tone coming from his phone and fell into a daze.
Labor arbitration?
Forget it, the reminder that person from HR just gave me was already pretty straightforward.
Betraying company interests and damaging company assets.
It's already good enough that TX didn't sue me. If I really went to labor arbitration, then when Nanshan Pizza Hut makes a move, I might even get a free food and lodging card.
Sighing, Chen Lei walked out of the TX headquarters building. In such a vast city as Shenzhen, he found himself with nowhere to go.
Forget it, I'll go to Dongguan to relax for a few days and clear my head.
The group-buying market has temporarily entered a truce period.
But Lin Chen knew that this was the calm before the storm, because according to the information he had received, both Tencent and Alibaba were doing their best to develop mobile games, hoping to make money from them.
After all, mobile games make money in the present, while group buying makes money in the future.
Anyway, the positions of the three giants in group buying are very stable now. As long as they don't stop providing subsidies, they can continue to maintain their top three positions in group buying.
Therefore, we can ignore group buying for now, but we must make money from mobile games first.
Then use the money earned from mobile games to subsidize group buying.
Speaking of which, we really have to thank Lin Chen. If Xiaomi phones weren't so cheap and had decent performance, it would have been really difficult to build such a large domestic smartphone market in such a short time.
iPhones are ultimately too expensive, while Xiaomi phones are much cheaper, costing only 1999.
Even if you can't afford 1999, there's still a Redmi phone for 699 waiting for you.
After the smartphone market grew, the entire mobile internet market began to flourish.
Major internet companies have turned their attention to this untapped blue ocean.
At this point, some people might ask, why don't these big internet companies make mobile phones?
That's a joke. Making mobile phones isn't that easy. There's branding, design, parts supply chain, assembly line, warehousing, delivery...
How much will this set up cost? How much will it cost to sell it later? And if it doesn't sell well and consumers don't buy it, then we'll lose everything.
Developing an app only costs a fraction of what's mentioned above.
Even internet companies that originally ran forums or news sites only needed to create an app framework and then simply cram the exact same content from the desktop version into it.
It will be finished in a few hours.
So, thank you Xiaomi, and thank you Lin Chen.
As a result, the mobile game market has entered an unprecedented period of prosperity.
Tencent (TX) was one of the first major internet companies to enter the market and reap the rewards. After acquiring Lin Chen's "Fruit Ninja", it went on a winning streak, acquiring several other types of mini-games both domestically and internationally.
Furthermore, it was modified based on the stamina and item modes of "Fruit Ninja" and made a fortune in the mobile game market.
At that time, Xiaomi had not yet been founded, and the smartphone market was dominated by iPhone. People who could afford iPhones back then were people who were not short of money.
This has made Tencent (TX) a fortune.
Following that, thanks to his exceptional comprehension skills, Pony Ma guided Tencent in developing "Happy Landlords," a highly significant mobile game.
