Acquisition Company
The shipping company seized the opportunity of passerby traffic and carried out a wave of marketing. It must be said that this marketing was very successful.
Not only are pre-orders for "Mud Forest 2" climbing, but downloads of the previously released "Mud Forest" are also increasing, with related topics and super chats attracting a large number of new users. Many of the company's games have been singled out for discussion.
This wave of traffic came at the right time, but it also attracted a lot of jackals.
"Mr. Kong, the manager of Tengfeng Group wants to meet you tomorrow afternoon." The assistant gave today's report to Kong Lingyu.
Kong Lingyu was reading a document at this time, but when he heard Tengfeng Group, he raised his head and asked, "Manager Qiu from Tengfeng Group?"
"Assistant Feng, I've never heard of such a person in the industry. Isn't the manager of Tengfeng Group an old man? And as far as I know, Tengfeng Group is a pharmaceutical company." Kong Lingyu pointed at the documents with his fingers. "What exactly does Manager Qiu want to do?"
"Mr. Kong, you are right. Although the other party uses the name of Tengfeng Group, it is actually a subsidiary of Tengfeng."
"As for Manager Qiu, he is Boss Teng Feng's younger brother, Qiu Lingfeng."
Kong Lingyu curled his lips and smiled, "So it's the young master of the Qiu family."
Tengfeng Group was indeed glorious in its early years and could be considered a leader in the pharmaceutical industry. However, with the impact of domestic and international market competition in recent years, this once prosperous pharmaceutical group has been unable to adapt to the market and has begun to decline.
A few years ago, it was involved in a serious medical incident. Although it was settled, users' trust was no longer firm, and Teng Feng began to go downhill.
But a lean camel is bigger than a horse. The newly appointed eldest son of the Qiu family, Qiu Guanlan, has made drastic changes and set his sights on various industries, hoping to use resources and connections to open up new markets.
Among them, his younger brother Qiu Lingfeng also jumped out and acquired a little-known studio - Lingyun under the name of Tengfeng Group.
Relying on Teng Feng's support, Qiu Lingfeng used various means to acquire many games from unknown studios, but his methods were too dirty, which allowed him to lower the purchase price to the lowest level... His reputation in the circle was not good.
Now that it is linked to the shipping schedule, it is estimated that there is no good intention. The arrogant Qiu Lingfeng probably has his eyes on the shipping schedule and wants to use this unlisted company to establish his prestige.
The assistant seemed to be hesitant to speak, so Kong Lingyu glanced at him and signaled him to speak if he had anything to say.
"Mr. Kong, according to my research, Qiu Lingfeng doesn't really manage the company. It's mainly their planning director, Deng Yu, who makes the decisions. Deng Yu was the former head of Lingyun's predecessor, Weiguang Studios. After Weiguang was acquired, he worked at Lingyun and was even promoted to game planning director."
"Deng Yu?" Hearing this long-lost name, Kong Lingyu lowered his head and murmured, "He is Wei Lai's former partner, the man who caused him to fall?"
This aroused Kong Lingyu's interest. He quickly glanced at the document, signed his name on it, and said with interest:
"Then let's go and take a look and see what Teng Feng and his group are up to." Kong Lingyu emphasized the word "Teng Feng".
"Then I'll arrange it."
The next day, a group of people had a formal meeting, but the person in charge of the opposite company turned out to be Qiu Lingfeng, the uneducated young man.
His words were full of contempt, and he was holding a beautiful woman in his arms. Knowing that it was a business meeting, he did not restrain himself and kept praising Teng Feng.
Not seeing Deng Yu, Kong Lingyu showed a lack of interest. There was no need for him to waste time on such a fool. He did not enter the private room yet, but just asked his assistant to go in.
Before leaving, he glanced at Qiu Lingfeng who was surrounded by people in the private room, and made sure that there was no such person as Deng Yu in the room, then looked away with boredom.
Today, Kong Lingyu was wearing a black suit, a dark red tie and gold-framed glasses. His eyes were narrow and elegant under the lenses. In addition, he had a good figure, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He leaned against the gray-white Mercedes door, attracting the attention of passers-by.
But his eyes were full of indifference, giving people a feeling of being unapproachable, until a slender figure broke into his sight, and the thin ice in his eyes melted instantly.
He took a step with his long legs, a sincere smile appeared on his face, and walked straight to the white figure.
From a distance, one could hear Kong Lingyu calling affectionately, "Maimai."
Fang Huai paused, and Cheng Yuan's expression beside him, which was only understandable but not expressible, made him feel even more heartbroken.
Cheng Yuan winked at Fang Huai ambiguously: "Sure, you're lucky in love."
"Don't talk." Fang Huai took a few steps to the side and explained, "I have nothing to do with him."
"Oh, I understand, I understand." Cheng Yuan patted Fang Huai's shoulder in understanding and said, "I thought you hadn't gotten over your breakup yet. You're doing fine now."
Some time ago, Fang Huai looked distraught, and the professor who used to pick him up from get off work never showed up, so they knew that the two might have broken up.
Cheng Yuan is quite open-minded in this regard. If it's not suitable, then forget it. At worst, he can find another one. A three-legged frog is not easy to find, but is it not easy to find a two-legged man?
Look at Dr. Fang, his qualifications make him very popular in the circle, okay?
"I'm leaving now. I have a social gathering tonight."
"When you're no longer single, I'll treat you to a meal." Cheng Yuan patted Fang Huai earnestly and said, "Brother, don't hang yourself on a tree."
After saying that, without waiting for Fang Huai's reaction, he waved his hand and ran away, and Kong Lingyu just happened to walk in front of him.
"It's time to get off work." Kong Lingyu walked side by side with Fang Huai naturally, feeling happy.
Fang Huai was full of thoughts and hummed softly, not knowing whether Kong Lingyu could hear him or not.
He didn't want to talk now, nor did he want to get entangled with Kong Lingyu.
And he and Li Xuan...the last time they parted ways without any result, and in the end, the problem was not completely solved. Before the problem was solved, he could not have any suspicious involvement with Kong Lingyu.
Fang Huai walked with his head down, like a depressed penguin, his back straight and his high-collared shirt covering the lower part of his neck tightly. Kong Lingyu's eyes followed his white neck to his collar, and his eyes became dark and obscure.
"Mr. Kong!"
Fang Huai got in the car, and just as Kong Lingyu was about to follow, he was stopped by a middle-aged man with an honest look. The man eagerly took out his business card and said attentively, "Mr. Kong, I've heard of your great name for a long time."
Kong Lingyu watched Fang Huai drive away. He looked down at the business card that Qiang Sai was holding in his hand with displeasure. On it was written Lingyun Planning Director, Deng Yu.
"Hmph." Kong Lingyu curled his lips. "So it's Director Deng. What can I do for you?"
Kong Lingyu perfunctorily replied to the overly enthusiastic man with a fake smile, "If it's all right, I'll leave first. My friend has already left."
The eyes behind the lenses regained their indifference, which made Deng Yu uncomfortable for a moment, but he still pulled Kong Lingyu to talk nonstop: "I've made appointments with Mr. Kong many times, but it didn't work out. I was so excited to meet him this time."
Deng Yu wiped the unnecessary sweat from his forehead and suddenly felt the air pressure around him drop. He pretended not to notice Kong Lingyu's indifference and continued, "I heard, Mr. Kong, that your game is about to be released again. The global pre-orders are close to 50 million. Congratulations."
"Thanks."
Deng Yu also had a sense of superiority. In front of this young man, he boasted about his rich experience and the famous games he had created. He puffed out his chest and said, "Our company appreciates talents like Kong Lingyu the most. Your team is full of top talents, but compared to Teng Feng, your company's resources and connections are still too poor. If you can..."
"Mr. Kong, Mr. Kong?" Deng Yu spoke until his mouth was dry, but he found that the young man in front of him was obviously not listening carefully. Dissatisfaction flashed across his face, but he still suppressed it. He leaned in front of Kong Lingyu and said flatteringly: "Mr. Kong, what are you looking at?"
Fang Huai's car had already driven out of sight. Kong Lingyu retracted his gaze and looked down at the middle-aged man who was in the way. He opened his mouth and said, "Are you done?"
Deng Yu trembled at the cold gaze, and he stammered, "That's all."
Kong Lingyu said with a smile, "That's good." Then he turned around and drove away.
"Hey, hey, hey, Mr. Kong, wait a minute!"
Deng Yu quickly grabbed the tall car door, with a look of good for you, "Mr. Kong, have you seen my business card? I'm the planning director of Tengfeng Group. Take another look at my business card."
Kong Lingyu held a business card between his middle and ring fingers, fiddling with it lazily.
After a while, he tilted his head and glanced at the embarrassed middle-aged man. "As far as I know, the planning director of Tengfeng Group is not named Deng."
Deng Yu was stunned by what he said. Their Lingyun was a subsidiary of Tengfeng Group. In addition, the person at the top was the younger brother of the president of Tengfeng Group. They all came out under the name of Tengfeng Group. Although people in the industry knew it, they would not deliberately expose it.
It seems that the boss of Chuanqi is really as annoying as people in the circle say.
At this moment, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. "Since Mr. Kong is a smart man, I will speak frankly. I am Lingyun's game planning director."
"Mr. Kong, the sophistication of your game is rare in the gaming industry, but it has one drawback: it's expensive. I'm sure your company's finances are under considerable pressure to support this technology. If you had a financially strong backer, you could definitely go even further."
Kong Lingyu snorted, a mocking arc appeared at the corner of his lips, and raised his hand to signal Deng Yu to continue.
Deng Yu swallowed, feeling inexplicably nervous. "The last thing Tengfeng Group lacks is money. Once we integrate into Lingyun, you won't have to worry about funding for this game anymore. Mr. Kong, would you please give this some thought?"
Kong Lingyu pretended to be enlightened: "So that's how it is."
Seeing Kong Lingyu's attitude soften, Deng Yu felt that his goal had been achieved. He opened the car door, stepped back a few steps, and straightened his messy suit. "Mr. Kong, go back and think about it carefully. This matter will only benefit you. You should always strive for higher goals."
The only response he got was a burst of car exhaust and business cards blowing in the wind.
Kong Lingyu ignored the furious man behind him and said disdainfully, "Idiot."
"Wasting me time."
Deng Yu picked up the business card that had been handed to him. A cold expression appeared on his originally honest face. "If that's the case, don't blame me."
"You don't love money, but there are many people who do."
In an upscale residential area, a lame man just walked out of the house when suddenly everything went dark before his eyes and he was quickly dragged into a car.
The hood was removed, and Kong Lingyu was about to call for help when a stack of cash in a box next to him opened and silenced him. A couple of men and women were making out in the front seat. Seeing him calm down, the man took off his sunglasses and put them on the woman. He scratched her chin like a pet and said, "Wait a moment."
The woman got out of the car obediently.
Qiu Lingfeng waved outside the car and Deng Yu got in. The three of them talked for a while in the car. He Jiangyun was shocked and hesitant, and finally became greedy. A gleam flashed in his eyes, and he hugged the box full of money in his arms.
The other two exchanged disdainful glances, and Deng Yu said, "Cooperate with us, and you'll gain more than just these."
"Do you want to do it?"
He Jiangyun had been kicked out of the company long ago, and with nowhere to go, he was living with his ex-lover. He had no money, and the once gentle Jie Yuhua was beginning to show signs of turning his back on him. He gritted his teeth and said, "Kong Lingyu is such an ungrateful little bastard. Don't blame me for being unjust if he's unkind."
His hands greedily grabbed the money and said, "Damn it!"
