Ye Chen opened the door to the private room, and Uncle Hu immediately came over to greet him warmly.
Besides Uncle Hu, there were several other guests in the private room, who seemed to be several wealthy businessmen and executives from Shanghai.
Uncle Hu gave Ye Chen a brief introduction of the group, and the wealthy men greeted Ye Chen, though not very warmly.
Mo Mengfei arrived shortly afterward.
Now, all that's missing is the last guest Uncle Hu invited, a guest Uncle Hu specially invited.
A few minutes later, a man in his late thirties walked in. He was the guest that Hu Bobo had specially invited—Tang Yunfan.
Upon Tang Yunfan's arrival, the other guests in the private room stood up, went over, and warmly shook hands with him, chatting and laughing.
At this moment, the enthusiasm these people showed towards Tang Yunfan contrasted sharply with their indifference towards Ye Chen just moments before.
"I didn't expect that Lao Hu would even invite President Tang."
"Congratulations to Mr. Tang on being named one of Shanghai's Top Ten Outstanding Young Entrepreneurs!"
"Congratulations, Mr. Tang!"
"Mr. Tang is so young, yet he has already achieved remarkable results. He is definitely one of the most outstanding young talents in Shanghai."
Tang Yunfan is actually one of Shanghai's Top Ten Outstanding Young Entrepreneurs?!
This identity is quite unusual.
It's well known that Shanghai is a city teeming with talent; every year, many people from all over the country come to Shanghai.
To stand out from countless people and become one of Shanghai's top ten outstanding young entrepreneurs, one's strength is absolutely formidable.
Of course, if Tang Yunfan only had this one identity, these wealthy CEOs wouldn't be so eager to please him.
Most importantly, Tang Yunfan also has his father, Mr. Tang, standing behind him. Mr. Tang is a long-established tycoon in Shanghai.
Their friendship with Tang Yunfan was primarily a way to curry favor with President Tang indirectly.
Rumors suggest that Tang Yunfan's selection as one of Shanghai's Top Ten Outstanding Young Entrepreneurs is largely due to the support he received from his father, Mr. Tang.
Uncle Hu stood up and introduced themselves to each other.
When Uncle Hu introduced Mo Mengfei, Tang Yunfan's eyes lit up and he became very friendly.
When Uncle Hu introduced Ye Chen, Tang Yunfan showed little interest, merely nodding slightly without even greeting him.
Because Uncle Hu doesn't know much about Ye Chen, he only knows that Ye Chen and Mo Mengfei jointly established a game company in Shanghai, and he doesn't know anything else.
Therefore, Uncle Hu's introduction of Ye Chen was relatively simple.
Tang Yunfan, along with the other wealthy men, saw that Ye Chen was only around twenty years old and so young, so they subconsciously assumed that Ye Chen was someone Uncle Hu had brought to broaden his horizons, and therefore no one paid much attention to Ye Chen.
All the guests have arrived, and the dinner begins.
These wealthy men were busy chatting and drinking with Tang Yunfan, trying to build a closer relationship, while Ye Chen was ignored.
Ye Chen didn't want to be disturbed. Apart from Uncle Hu occasionally chatting with Ye Chen, Ye Chen ate while continuing to talk quietly with Mo Mengfei about the company's future development.
Ye Chen has high hopes for the future of the game company, hoping it will become one of the domestic game giants. He has no intention of keeping a low profile and will make big moves after the company opens.
Becoming a domestic gaming giant is still a long way off, but joining the ranks of major gaming companies in Shanghai is something that needs to be done as soon as possible.
In addition, Ye Chen and Mo Mengfei also discussed another important matter: developing other games.
As a game company, you can't rely on just one game.
While a major title like "Land in the Future" requires dedicated development, the company can also explore smaller games during the development process to help the future game company grow.
Ye Chen hadn't thought of this before; it was Mo Mengfei who brought it up after arriving in Shanghai.
Mo Mengfei studied many game industry reports and gained a better understanding of the subject.
Hearing Mo Mengfei's suggestion, Ye Chen agreed that it made perfect sense. He pointed out that each of the domestic gaming giants had a plethora of games, both large and small.
Doing only one thing will definitely not work.
While Ye Chen and Mo Mengfei were discussing the development of mini-games, they drank quite a bit of alcohol, and Tang Yunfan was already starting to feel tipsy.
"My plan is to build a large cultural and entertainment company. At that time, animation, film and television, novels, and games will all be part of my company's development goals."
Tang Yunfan spoke eloquently and in a loud voice.
Tang Yunfan's company is in the entertainment industry and has achieved some success in short videos and live streaming. Now it is starting to develop in the field of animation.
"Mr. Tang has quite the ambition."
"Mr. Tang is so young, he must be thinking about making a name for himself."
Having just been named one of the "Top Ten Outstanding Young Entrepreneurs in Shanghai," Tang Yunfan's ambition continues to swell.
"My future goal is to surpass Tencent!"
Tang Yunfan's voice was too loud, thus interrupting Ye Chen and Mo Mengfei's conversation.
Ye Chen was slightly surprised, not expecting that some of Tang Yunfan's ideas actually overlapped with his own.
"By the way, Xiao Ye also works in the gaming industry, right?"
After hearing Tang Yunfan talk about developing the gaming industry, one of the wealthy men suddenly remembered Uncle Hu's introduction of Ye Chen.
Because of this sentence, all the guests at the table turned their attention to Ye Chen for the first time.
"right."
Ye Chen nodded.
"Xiao Ye, you should learn more from President Tang and ask him for advice more often in the future."
"Mr. Tang is already one of the top ten outstanding young entrepreneurs in Shanghai. Xiao Ye, you should humbly learn from Mr. Tang's experience and try to be selected in a few years as well."
"Although it's difficult, Xiao Ye, you can't give up. President Tang is your role model."
Several wealthy men, acting as elders, educated Ye Chen.
"Xiao Ye, if you ever run into any trouble in the future, just come to your Brother Tang."
Having had a few drinks, Tang Yunfan, already feeling quite tipsy, didn't hold back and spoke with an air of dominance:
“I still have some connections and influence in Shanghai.”
"I'll protect you from now on."
Ye Chen didn't say anything, but Tang Yunfan already treated Ye Chen like a little brother, calling him "Brother Tang" and "Little Ye" repeatedly.
Just then, Ye Chen's phone rang.
Ye Chen took out his phone and saw that it was a call from Bai Hanyan. It seemed that Bai Hanyan's phone had been repaired, and this time she didn't use that foreign number to call.
At this time, something might be wrong, so Ye Chen answered the call.
"Mr. Ye, I've prepared some souvenirs for you while I'm abroad. I'd like to mail them to you and would like to ask for your specific address."
After the call was connected, Bai Hanyan spoke.
Actually, Bai Hanyan wanted to ask this when she called last time, but Ye Chen had guests at the time, so she didn't have a chance to ask.
While abroad, Bai Hanyan discovered many interesting souvenirs. To express her gratitude for Ye Chen's guidance, she bought some and wanted to send them to him.
But she didn't know exactly where Ye Chen lived, so she came to ask.
Seeing that Ye Chen actually answered the phone while Tang Yunfan was lecturing him, the guests looked rather displeased and were about to remind Ye Chen to be careful.
