Chapter 442 About Games (5K)
After the people left, Zhuang Aimin shook his head.
I originally wanted to see how much investment Zeng Wenjie could get, but in the end, there were two troublemakers.
But he didn't take it too seriously. He had so many things to do every day that he didn't have the energy to get to the bottom of it.
A warning is enough. If they are really ignorant and want to cause trouble, that is when you let them know how powerful you are.
"Xiao Zeng, you should control your temper." Zhuang Aimin said with a smile.
"Brother, it's not that I don't restrain myself, but I was too restrained in the past, so I got ahead of myself." Zeng Wenjie said helplessly.
Zhuang Aimin was stunned. After thinking about it, it seemed that this was the case and it was the truth.
Young people should be braver.
Zhuang Aimin said, "I'm still very concerned about your financing."
Zeng Wenjie said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother. Penguin has already promised to lead the investment. We can negotiate a minimum of 50 million. After that, we can attract some strong capital to invest and we'll be done."
Zhuang Aimin said thoughtfully, "Isn't Marennia raising funds?"
Zeng Wenjie said, "Right now, Malenia's main market is still online. Our offline stores are currently operated directly, so we have no plans to raise funds for the time being. Also, if we expand too quickly, I won't be able to handle it. This year, we'll focus on the snack brand "Heinhuang" and develop it in supermarkets to build a good reputation."
Zhuang Aimin said, "Let's follow your plan."
Zeng Wenjie and Feng Xiao took Zhuang Aimin to visit the Chamber of Commerce and introduced the work of each position and how the Chamber of Commerce operates.
In fact, what Zhuang Aimin is most concerned about is the Miao Lao Ge Beef Hotpot Restaurant owned by Yan Peng. After all, this is the first shot fired by the Chamber of Commerce.
At noon, Zeng Wenjie planned to invite Zhuang Aimin to dinner, but the latter refused, saying that he had other plans and would go to a nearby county town soon.
After sending Zhuang Aimin to the outside of the Chamber of Commerce and getting in the car, Zeng Wenjie turned to Feng Xiao and snapped his fingers, saying, "Ms. Feng, you don't have to worry about being abandoned in the future. If I sell you, you can actually be worth 10 million!"
Feng Xiao glared angrily, then shook his head helplessly, saying, "That stupid bitch Xu Yuhuan! Those people only recruited her to take advantage of my brother's remaining influence and connections. After they're completely taken advantage of, she'll just be a scapegoat and won't even know how she died..."
Zeng Wenjie seemed to be thinking about something, and said, "However, with your intelligence and talent, if you go back to Yanjing and wave the flag, you will definitely be able to gather a group of people, right?"
Feng Xiao said, "There are so many people in the world who are smarter than you. Do you dare to guarantee that you are the smartest? I don't want to step into that kind of quagmire again. If I'm not careful, I will be doomed."
Zeng Wenjie nodded, put his hand on Feng Xiao's shoulder, and said, "To put it bluntly, isn't it just that you can't bear to leave me?"
Feng Xiao was startled, then smiled and responded with a seductive look: "Yes, brother~"
This cry made Zeng Wenjie's scalp feel a little numb.
Only outside would Feng Xiao dare to provoke her wildly. If she were in a private space, she would have to behave herself.
Back in the office, Feng Xiao sorted out some documents and handed them to Zeng Wenjie, saying, "President, please read them carefully and sign them one by one!"
Zeng Wenjie smiled bitterly, took it, and then began to read it carefully.
Many affairs within the Chamber of Commerce are linked to official matters, but Feng Xiao and Zeng Wenjie carefully screen them and will put aside those that are risky. Even if they cannot be put aside, they will definitely not touch them. Whoever is willing can do it.
I have to say that with Feng Xiao's help, I can really avoid many pitfalls and circumvent many hidden risks.
The capable and competent Mrs. Feng is really one hundred points.
Xue Lu even ran over to the Chamber of Commerce and asked, "President, have you finalized the financing?"
Zeng Wenjie said, "What a waste of time! Two troublemakers showed up and nearly started a fight in the reception room."
Xue Lu was stunned when he heard this and asked, "How could this happen?"
Zeng Wenjie smiled helplessly and said, "It can't be helped. In the eyes of others, my fame is greater than my ability. I'm just a fake product that was promoted by the government."
Feng Xiao lowered his head to handle his work. After hearing this, he couldn't help but chuckle.
Obviously, those who knew her thought that she was the one giving Zeng Wenjie advice behind the scenes.
Zeng Wenjie is a waste, a winner without any effort, and Feng Xiao is the MVP?
"Let's go, Mr. Xue, let's go to Century City to check out the decoration, and ask Lao Zheng to have dinner together in the evening." Zeng Wenjie said.
"Okay, Old Zheng is a fun guy, we have to invite him." Xue Lu said with a smile.
Zeng Wenjie stood up and said to Feng Xiao, "I'll call you later and have dinner or a drink together."
Feng Xiao raised her eyes and smiled coquettishly, issuing a silent invitation.
Zeng Wenjie knew that she wanted royalties again.
There was also a major change at Century City. After the mall was sealed off, most of the merchants ran away and asked Xue Lu to claim compensation for breach of contract.
Xue Lu had no choice but to pay all the compensation that was due. He also persuaded some merchants with whom he had good relations to stay and promised to give them good shops after the mall was unblocked.
After arriving at Century City, the supermarket was undergoing renovations.
Xue Lu said, "The longer this goes on, the more anxious I get. Every day counts as money, a penalty for breach of contract!"
Zeng Wenjie said, "Don't worry. Once our 'Hao You Lai' opens, you'll make money. You saw it when we went to Zhongyuan Province for an inspection. Mr. Yu has a great reputation and can make money. How wonderful it is to be an entrepreneur praised by everyone."
When Xue Lu heard this, he felt that this made sense.
He has made a lot of money by violating his conscience over the years and has long been financially independent. Now, it is time to gain fame.
If he could become Mr. Yu of Chongshan, Xue Lu couldn't even imagine how wonderful his life would be in the future.
However, Zeng Wenjie felt that he could not become the second General Yu. General Yu was a truly simple and honest person, which was why he was loved by the people and employees.
Xue Lu is a slick and cunning guy. No matter how he disguises himself, he can never pretend to be pure and simple.
The decoration of the underground floor was already quite large. Seeing this, Zeng Wenjie nodded repeatedly, and then said to Xue Lu: "Boss Xue, do you know where the wind outlet is at the bottom of our Chongshan Mountain?"
Xue Lu perked up and asked, "Council President, please give me some advice?"
Zeng Wenjie said: "Hotel industry."
Xue Lu was stunned, then thought for a moment and said, "Travel?"
Zeng Wenjie nodded and said, "Yes, with the two powerful blows of "The Voice of China" and "Village BA", Chongshan Province is no longer the remote and poor place that no one cares about. Outsiders even think that we can only survive by burning candles. I have learned the data from the provincial government, and the number of tourists visiting Chongshan is increasing..."
Xue Lu immediately said, "Okay, I'll study this area and invest in it later."
Xue Lu started his business with non-performing assets. After making money, he did everything, including investing in real estate, cars, pawnshops, hotels, Internet cafes, and nightclubs. After listening to Zeng Wenjie's words, he decided to think about it, reduce his investment, and devote all his energy to the hotel industry.
"Fengzhou is actually a good place to open a hotel. As a provincial capital, it is not big but has a dense population. However, the hotel industry has a relatively slow return and requires patience to operate. If you want to make quick money, you should not spend too much energy on this aspect." Zeng Wenjie reminded.
"That's true. The hotels I invested in have always been stable, but that's the only benefit." Xue Lu smiled helplessly.
After looking around, Zeng Wenjie had some doubts in his mind, so he called General Manager Yu and humbly asked for advice.
Mr. Yu was very caring towards his younger brother. In addition, the younger brother had a good reputation. He thought that they were on the same page, so he was willing to give him advice.
Mr. Yu sincerely hopes that his approach can be recognized by more entrepreneurs, so that every worker can live a good life, or at least be able to enjoy life after hard work.
"Mr. Yu is truly a good teacher and friend. We should invite him to our place and treat him well when the time comes," said Zeng Wenjie.
"Okay, I'll arrange it and make him dizzy." Xue Lu said with a smile.
"Forget about that. It's too vulgar. I don't think Mr. Yu will like it." Zeng Wenjie sneered.
Xue Lu said, "Old Zheng likes it very much, doesn't he? He always has two or three people drinking with him."
When it was time for dinner, Zheng Shouyun and Feng Xiao both arrived.
Feng Xiao was driving a brand new black Audi A8. When he stepped on the accelerator lightly, the engine emitted a pleasant roar, worthy of being a W12.
Zeng Wenjie looked at the W12 Audi A8 that he had bought at great expense, and the corners of his mouth twitched. The one he was driving was still a 4.2-displacement V8.
The key point is that Feng Xiao even drove this car to take Zeng Mi for a ride to show off.
This made Zeng Mi a little resentful, and she tried to get Zeng Wenjie to buy her one as well.
It's not that Zeng Mi is materialistic, but the W12 Audi A8 is nothing to her. If she hadn't been afraid of being too conspicuous, she could have driven a Rolls-Royce.
But Zeng Wenjie ignored it. Even if the king came, he would only buy a Volvo for Zeng Mi. Who knows if there would be any force to revise history?
Zheng Shouyun said to Zeng Wenjie with a grin, "Our 'Hero Killer' will be online soon. Once we fix some minor bugs, it will be perfect."
Zeng Wenjie sighed, "I didn't expect that this pleasant cooperation would end soon?"
Zheng Shouyun said, "Boss Zeng, don't you have any big plans?"
Zeng Wenjie said, "We have to wait until the game becomes a hit before we can take action. Otherwise, why would Mr. Ma trust my empty words?"
Cooperating with Penguin is undoubtedly the best choice. If he sets up his own company to develop the gaming field, it will be easy for others to copy his Sharingan. Moreover, the huge QQ user base can crush him at any time.
Moreover, now that he has a talented person like Feng Ji in his hands, Zeng Wenjie is determined to develop this area vigorously.
Feng Xiao asked: "Is the big move the entire large-scale game?"
Zeng Wenjie said, "No, we want to create a gaming platform where both large and small companies can publish their games for consumers to purchase and profit from. Currently, many single-player games have too few distribution channels, which can easily lead to the embarrassing situation of not being able to recoup costs and losing all their money. Of course, we also want to create some excellent games ourselves and put them on the platform."
Zheng Shouyun said: "There is already a Penguin Game Hall."
Zeng Wenjie looked at him and asked, "Mr. Zheng, do you know Steam?"
Zheng Shouyun nodded and said, "Of course. How could I not know the launch platform of Half-Life 2?"
In fact, in 2007, many people didn’t even know how to use a computer, let alone what Steam was.
The Steam platform really became popular after the explosion of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" at the end of 2017, and it entered the sight of Chinese gamers.
Everyone got to know this platform through this game, and then they realized that they had eaten so much shit over the years, and there were actually so many excellent games on the platform!
Zeng Wenjie said: "We need to lean towards this direction, rather than software like game halls."
Zheng Shouyun said thoughtfully: "So that's how it is..."
Xue Lu couldn't help but ask, "Is online gaming profitable?"
Zheng Shouyun rolled his eyes at him and said, "Old Xue, please keep up with the times. Are you still asking if online games are profitable? Go learn more about Fantasy Westward Journey and World of Warcraft before you talk to me."
Xue Lu grinned and said, "I really don't know much about the Internet, but since Mr. Zeng is willing to do it, it will definitely make money."
Feng Xiao couldn't help but laugh and said, "Boss Xue, you are truly a genius!"
Xue Lu said, "No matter how talented I am, I'm not as talented as Mr. Zeng. He can make a fortune with just one or two ideas. Moreover, the several projects he planned have directly boosted tourism consumption in our entire province. I'm not even worthy of carrying Mr. Zeng's shoes!"
Xue Lu is now flattering Zeng Wenjie in every way, as if he is afraid that this guy will make money without taking him with him.
I used to be a fence-sitter, but after suffering a heavy loss, I now know that I have to hold on tightly to the man who is hanging on, and I can't let go and fall to the other side no matter what.
We had a falling out at that time, and I had to spend over a million dollars to meet him in Marineria. I don't want to go through the same hardship again.
At the dinner table, Zeng Wenjie talked to Xue Lu about some things in the Chamber of Commerce. Old Xue was the vice president and had to take care of things.
"Mr. Zheng, why don't you join our Fengzhou Business Alliance?" Zeng Wenjie looked at Zheng Shouyun and asked.
"Okay, but I have to switch from Penguin to your Game Science." Zheng Shouyun agreed readily.
"Fuck, switching jobs from Penguin?" Xue Lu couldn't help but said in shock.
Zheng Shouyun said, "Even though I'm doing well at Penguin, there are too many experts and talented people there. It's very difficult to move up and get the opportunity to display your talents. Mr. Zeng is just starting out here, so it's much easier. If I join now and develop in the future, I can be called a veteran."
Zeng Wenjie said, "If Mr. Zheng is willing to switch to this company, I certainly welcome him. I will initially offer him a salary based on Penguin's standards, and then increase it as we become bigger and stronger."
Zheng Shouyun smiled and said, "Let's talk about it after 'Hero Killer' is online. I'm still very satisfied with my current job. It's easy and comfortable."
Zheng Shouyun was indeed very satisfied. He was hanging out with a group of young people all day long. Moreover, the working environment was relaxed, there was no office struggle, and everyone was friendly.
He even felt that after spending more time with these young people, he became more energetic and his temper improved.
He was known for his seriousness when he was at Penguin, but everything is different when he came here.
Zeng Wenjie thought that Penguin had so many talented people and geniuses, so he poached Zheng Shouyun, and Brother Ma should not be too angry.
After eating and drinking, Zheng Shouyun asked Xue Lu to arrange the second game.
Xue Lu glanced at Feng Xiao, feeling a little apprehensive, and asked, "Mr. Zeng, are you going?"
Zeng Wenjie said, "Go ahead. Secretary Feng and I will go together. We just want to have a good drink today."
Zheng Shouyun's face was embarrassed, but unexpectedly, Feng Xiao said: "It's just touching and singing. I used to go to such occasions often. You touch yours and I sing mine!"
This actually made Xue Lu and Zheng Shouyun feel a little embarrassed.
Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but ask Feng Xiao, "How much is the top-notch touch and sing?"
Feng Xiao glanced at him and smiled, "For places like that, the minimum model requirements are a bachelor's degree, a height of over 1.7 meters, a face comparable to a celebrity's, and the ability to sing and dance and possess some unique talents. Ordering one costs around 50,000 yuan, I remember that was the price at the time."
"There are diamonds in her pussy? Fifty thousand for one!" Zheng Shouyun couldn't help but swear.
Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but think of the KTV private room that cost more than two million yuan that he had heard about in his previous life. After carefully calculating the price, it was probably about the same as what Feng Xiao said.
Feng Xiao glanced at Zheng Shouyun and said, "It's probably 70,000 or 80,000 now."
Xue Lu couldn't help but ask, "Isn't that a place for pure bastards to play?"
Feng Xiao smiled and said, "It's quite unfair, but rich people like to play like this, especially those who can get a lot of money just by stretching their hands."
Zeng Wenjie also felt that such places were run by a specific group of people. Truly rich people knew how hard and difficult it was to make money, and would not easily spend money that they felt was not worth it.
After arriving at the KTV, Xue Lu asked the manager to call all the girls over. They stood in a row in skirts and looked quite decent.
But Zheng Shouyun felt it was a bit boring. Compared with Feng Xiao, these were not very attractive.
"Can I order one for you?" Feng Xiao looked at the man, then turned to Zeng Wenjie and smiled.
"Forget it." Zeng Wenjie rolled his eyes. "I'm not interested."
Feng Xiao said: "Are you a man? You're not interested in this!"
Zeng Wenjie said, "Is it true? You don't know it yourself."
Zeng Wenjie and Feng Xiao only played until about ten o'clock and then left, so as not to disturb Director Zheng's fun.
We had all been drinking, so it was inconvenient for us to drive and we were too lazy to go back, so we simply booked a room in the hotel next door.
Zeng Wenjie is not a very good person, but he is a very good dog. He took some Romanee-Conti from Xue Lu's store. Although it is not the most expensive one, it costs tens of thousands of dollars per bottle.
He planned to ask Feng Xiao to teach him how to taste wine. After all, red wine was a drink that rich people liked, and he would have to come into contact with it more often in the future. It would be embarrassing if he didn't know anything about it.
The teaching was going well at first, but then it turned into a fancy wine tasting. He poured the wine into Feng Xiao's waist.
Hey, you know what, it has a very unique taste.
