"Ahem, you'll find out when the time comes."
Li Xuemin certainly wouldn't be so foolish as to reveal such a thing.
It's not that I'm hiding anything from others.
The main point is that the meaning of a special route is its uniqueness!
He glanced at the games Little Ma had selected, and they were all pornographic. Wasn't that just trying to skirt the edge? Wasn't that their unique feature?
Honestly, Jack Ma is a genius. Others would reject games with pornographic content outright during the review process.
Little Ma is different; he can discover the highlights of this game and promote them.
Moreover, as a large company, Tencent is certainly much more prudent in its handling of such matters than smaller companies.
The regulatory authorities are also very pragmatic. If it's a small company playing these borderline games, they will definitely ban them outright without any reasoning. But when it comes to a large company like Tencent, as long as it's not too outrageous, they might turn a blind eye.
Li Xuemin exchanged a few perfunctory words with his younger sisters, then quickly finished his meal and returned to his department.
In the afternoon, Li Xuemin convened a meeting within his department.
"Hello everyone, I am Li Xuemin. Now I will go over the work arrangements for the next step."
First, for the games selected by Mr. Ma, try to negotiate acquisition as much as possible. If they really refuse to sell, then talk about equity cooperation.
Secondly, we are under a tight schedule and need to complete the above tasks as soon as possible, which may require everyone to work overtime recently.
When everyone heard that they had to work overtime, they all frowned and cursed inwardly, "Damn it, he just became a leader and he's already exploiting his employees. Li Xuemin, you're a real dog!"
"Finally, overtime pay will be paid in full. In addition, overtime meal allowances and transportation allowances will all be submitted for review according to the standards. Furthermore, after the project is completed, I will help everyone apply for another overtime allowance."
Upon hearing this last point, everyone's brows relaxed, and the curses they had been harboring vanished, replaced by the thought, "Li Xuemin is quite good at dealing with people. Not bad, not bad. I'll temporarily agree to let you be our leader."
"Alright, meeting adjourned. Let's all keep going!"
After a week of preparation, TX Games finally held its official press conference.
After the Tencent Games platform launch event, all male gamers across the internet suddenly began to look forward to it.
"If you don't understand, just ask. Isn't Tencent Games a welfare platform? Why are all the games so exciting?"
"I also want to ask, this Tencent gaming platform is just too exciting!"
"I can't wait to download it."
As agreed, Pony Ma transferred Lashou.com to Xingchen Technology at a price far below the market price.
Lin Chen watched as the number of downloads on the TX game platform steadily increased, and he couldn't help but marvel. Pony Ma was indeed a talent; he could find a way out even in such a dead end. No wonder he was the head of TX.
After this game, the most confused person was actually Jack Ma.
He used to pay no attention to the mobile game industry. It was only after he acquired Softstar, developed the first Legend of Sword and Fairy game, and was severely punished by the market that he started to occasionally pay attention to news in this area.
He had naturally heard about the exciting events between Starry Sky Games Platform and Tencent Games Platform.
But while he was enjoying the show, the group-buying war suddenly ended.
He even dropped the melon on the ground, still not understanding what happened.
Wait, what happened to the three-way division of the market? How come Tencent just handed over its chassis to someone else?
Tony, you're supposed to be a hero, how can you be such a bully who preys on the weak?
Little Ma: What's it to you!
Now things are different. Although Taobao Group Buying ranks second in the group buying market, it's useless now. After Lin Chen completes the merger of Meituan and Lashou.com's market share, a behemoth in the group buying industry will emerge. From now on, it will be the only one to reap the rewards while others can only drink the soup in the entire domestic group buying industry.
"Sigh," Jack Ma sighed. "After all that effort, all that money and time I've spent, group buying is a dead end, and mobile games are a dead end too."
What exactly have I been busy with?
Jack Ma, who doesn't smoke much, couldn't resist taking out a pack of cigarettes and smoking one after another.
When Zhang Yong knocked on the door of Jack Ma's office, he almost choked to death on the smoke inside.
"Mr. Ma, what's wrong? Why are you smoking so much?"
"Hey Zhang Yong, I've realized that life seems to have lost its meaning. What's the point of me living?"
"Oh! Mr. Ma, please don't do anything rash. Think about it, Alibaba is such a big company with so many people, and they all depend on you."
"Alas, the journey of life is as long as a beautiful dream..."
Zhang Yong listened to Ma Yun's off-key singing, but he didn't dare to tell him to stop singing directly, for fear of upsetting him. On the contrary, he had to praise him for singing well.
"Mr. Ma, listen to how well you sing! Even if you weren't an entrepreneur, you would definitely be a superstar if you became a singer."
"Really? Then I'll sing this song at our company's annual party this year."
Zhang Yong silently mourned for three seconds for all Alibaba employees.
"Brothers and sisters, it's not my fault. I'm doing this to keep your jobs. The company will have to be reorganized, and a lot of people will lose their jobs."
Zhang Yong walked over nonchalantly, opened the window, and finally let the smoke out of the room.
"Mr. Ma, what exactly happened?"
"Hey Zhang Yong, look at me. Group buying doesn't work, mobile games don't work, what else can I do?"
"Mr. Ma, those are all minor details. Alibaba's main business is online shopping! We are undoubtedly the leader in online shopping!"
Jack Ma's eyes lit up. Oh right, he almost lost sight of the bigger picture and forgot about his main business. Online shopping is his forte. Didn't you see? Even with the backing of the entire Huasuan.com, Pinduoduo still can't beat my Taobao.
"Hahaha, Zhang Yong, you truly are my kindred spirit! If we join forces, we can definitely take down that brat Lin Chen!"
Zhang Yong smiled and said, "Yes, yes, you're right about everything."
Little Ma, far away in Shenzhen, had the same idea and wanted to take down this young upstart, Lin Chen.
Although Tencent Games launched its gaming platform, it was actually a move made out of necessity. If Pony Ma (Ma Huateng, founder of Tencent) had another chance, he wouldn't have created this gaming platform.
We've now gathered a bunch of unique games, but ultimately that's a niche area.
To this day, Pony Ma still envies Genshin Impact for being praised by official media.
This is what Tencent should be fighting for.
Just as he was fretting, Zhang Jin, the newly appointed director of the game department, suddenly ran in.
"Mr. Ma, we've found a way to bypass Genshin Impact's patent blockade!"
