Fang Jingxu was a little confused. "Chairman Jiang, what do you mean...?"
Jiang Xiaoli said, "President Liu is a key figure at Jinbo Technology. We need to adopt a conciliatory approach with such people. I believe that Pusheng Capital has already taught President Liu a lesson this time, and he will realize that only we are truly on his side."
She paused, then continued, "Tell President Liu that we can not only take over this portion of 'Pusheng Capital's' shares, but also invest additional funds to support his research, provided we own more than 51% of the shares."
Fang Jingxu hesitated, and Li Anting said, "Chairman Jiang, President Liu is very concerned about the controlling stake in 'Jinbo Technology,' and he may not easily give in."
“Yes,” Fang Jingxu explained. “I have had a lot of contact with President Liu. He is a rather stubborn and controlling person. Letting him lose control of the company might provoke his rebellious mentality.”
Jiang Xiaoli smiled and said, "As long as he hasn't given up on Jinbo Technology, there's a possibility that this matter can be resolved. Mr. Fang, why don't you give it a try?"
After a few seconds of silence, Fang Jingxu nodded. "Okay, I understand."
After the two of them left, she leaned back in her office chair and spun around, looking quite pleased with herself.
"I really stumbled upon it by accident."
Liu Chengzhu is the kind of person whose strengths and weaknesses are equally obvious.
In his previous life, he emptied his family's savings and founded "Jinbo Technology" with a few brothers. With great ambition, they launched the company's first mobile phone, Jinbo X1. However, due to the phone's mediocre performance and low cost-effectiveness, and the lack of funds for advertising, it was quickly submerged among numerous new products.
This stage was a very important turning point for Liu Chengzhu. His early brothers gradually left him because of this failure, and in desperation, he sold a key patented technology he had developed to several peers.
He used the money from selling the patents to continue his research, and finally in September 1998, he developed the Jinbo X2, which surpassed most mobile phones on the market, and successfully gained the trust of investors, receiving 50 million yuan in investment.
Before its launch, the Jinbo X2 was renamed Jinbo One. This phone quickly swept across China with its excellent performance, low price, and near-perfect after-sales service. In 2000, the Jinbo series of phones ranked first in the national mobile phone sales chart.
"Jinbo Technology" and Liu Chengzhu's name became known to everyone overnight.
But after 2000, his peers who had purchased his patented technology all joined forces to research more powerful, advanced, and gimmicky mobile phones.
During that period, new products emerged one after another on the market: music phones, camera phones, business phones...
However, Liu Chengzhu was dismissive of these changes, believing that as a communication tool, improving call quality, signal strength, and system optimization were the most important things.
In less than three years, Jinbo Mobile, which was originally the number one mobile phone seller in the country, was replaced by many highly innovative brands and gradually disappeared from people's sight.
Liu Chengzhu was a genius who led an era in his previous life, but he was also a fool who squandered a good hand.
From the very beginning, Jiang Xiaoli had no intention of seeking quick success or instant benefits when she had someone contact Liu Chengzhu. She only wanted to gradually gain control of "Jinbo" Technology and then, at crucial moments, push Liu Chengzhu in the right direction.
She believed that with Liu Chengzhu's abilities, as long as he didn't act arbitrarily like in his previous life, "Jinbo Technology" would achieve great success.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but hum a little tune.
Now it's up to Fang Jingxu to communicate with Liu Chengzhu.
Looking at her watch, she remembered Hu Jingxin's words and decided to work here on the first day back to work after the New Year.
I called Zong Jiayu; he wasn't busy either, so we both left work early and went home.
On the way, Jiang Xiaoli asked with concern, "Has there been any more trouble with 'Vulcan'?"
Zong Jiayu smiled and shook his head. "No, they're probably focused entirely on promoting 'Desperate Strike' right now; I heard they've spent a lot of money on it."
At this point, he couldn't help but look at her while waiting at a red light. "Little Pear," he said, "after hearing your review of 'Desperate Assault,' I've done some serious research on the game, and I think you're right."
Jiang Xiaoli suddenly laughed, "It's been a month or two, why are you still thinking about this?"
Zong Jia explained, "We rarely have differing opinions, and given our several conflicts with 'Vulcan,' I've paid more attention to 'Desperate Assault.'"
He said with a hint of schadenfreude, "Little Pear, I have a strong feeling that 'Desperate Assault' won't perform very well after its release."
Jiang Xiaoli turned to look at him. "That's not the main point you wanted to make, is it? Tell me everything at once."
“Nothing escapes your eyes.” Zong Jiayu smiled and said, “Through communication with Jonathan and indirect information, I learned that ‘Vulcan’ signed a performance-based agreement with their investors in order to launch ‘Extreme Assault’.”
If "Desperate Assault" fails to meet performance expectations after its launch, Vulcan's equity structure will undergo significant adjustments.
Jiang Xiaoli stared at him for a while, then laughed and said, "Just tell me, what mischief are you planning?"
Zong Jia smiled and said, "Those partners at 'Vulcan' are annoying, but most of the programmers, led by Jonathan, are quite lovable. I think 'Yujia Technology's' game development department needs them."
She chuckled softly, "Even if they lose the bet, with 'Vulcan's' strength, they'll just end up working for a different boss. It'll be difficult to poach them, won't it?"
Zong Jia shrugged. "It all depends on human effort."
They got out of the car at "Heyuan" and chatted as they walked home. "If the 'Vulcan' team joins us, I have information that we can launch a Chinese-style online game very soon."
Jiang Xiaoli took his hand and entered the elevator. "Have you made up your mind so quickly?"
Zong Jiayu said with a smile, "In the thousands of years of Chinese history, there have been countless myths and martial arts stories. I want to use this as a basis to create a Chinese-style fantasy game world."
The more she listened, the more familiar it seemed. Wasn't the game he was describing the same online game "Arrow of the Ice" that became an instant hit when it was released in 2005 in her previous life?
This is getting more and more interesting.
She smiled and said, "Ayu, I think you will definitely succeed."
Zong Jia smiled and kissed her forehead. "Little Pear, I will definitely not let you down."
