Makuko glanced at him briefly...
"At most, it's only a billion or so. Look at your lack of ambition."
This isn't the climax yet; the real money-printing machine will come later in the game.
I haven't even gotten excited about my 36% stake, and you're already popping champagne with your 1.4%?
"hey-hey…"
The Ugly King smiled sheepishly…
"How can I compare to someone as important as you... I'm already quite fortunate to receive a small amount of money."
But I truly admire you; such a brilliant business strategy could probably only be conceived by you…”
"oh?…"
Makuko raised an eyebrow slightly…
"Did you understand?"
The Ugly King nodded humbly…
"They used an outdoor prize-winning event to give away 100,000 Chinese dollars to deceive Chinese people into participating and signing contracts."
Once inside the game, they will exploit the national characteristics of the Chinese people to extensively promote the competitive relationship between nations.
It even escalated to the level of ethnicity, while on the other hand, numerous channels for bypassing internet censorship were provided.
At the same time, they deliberately increased Ye Feng's screen time and began to create a god-like image for him.
In this way, a large number of Chinese people will flock here to support their compatriots…
They captured the Chinese market without anyone noticing. That's truly impressive…
It seems you really know China very well…
Hearing such flattering words, Makuko simply smiled faintly and shook his head...
"It's still a long way off. I've spent hundreds of millions on online channels and promotion, but it's only been viewed by tens of millions of Chinese people."
Although this number is already quite good, China has over a billion people.
There's nothing we can do, their network maintenance is just too good…
At this point, a cold glint flashed in Makuko's eyes as he glanced sideways at the Ugly Emperor...
"Also, I don't really like the word 'deception,' to be precise, it should be 'seduction'..."
"Yes, yes, yes... I misspoke."
The Ugly Emperor nodded repeatedly, somewhat flustered…
"By the way, sir, there's a live-streaming group company in China called Six Sheep recently."
Their manager has been calling us.
They said they wanted to take Ye Feng away and were willing to pay double the penalty for breach of contract.
And it's not just their company, there are others too..."
"Bullshit!"
Before he could finish his report, Makuko, unusually, swore, and his old face immediately darkened...
It's clear he's really angry...
"What the hell do you mean by six sheep or eight sheep? Ye Feng is my cash cow. This show depends on him to make money!"
Want to buy? Sure, but tell them to bring in 10 billion first, otherwise forget it!
And another thing! From now on, anyone who tries to poach Ye Feng, no matter who they are, is to be kicked out!
"yes!"
The Ugly Emperor nodded sullenly, then walked out of the office…
Makuko, his face grim, loosened his tie...
He slumped back in his seat, his mind replaying the scene of Ye Feng's solo kill on the crocodile two days ago...
This person of Asian descent has created so many miracles…
He knew that if this episode aired, it would definitely cause a sensation.
Ye Feng is now purely his money-printing machine, a guarantee of high viewership ratings for his show…
I can't let anyone take it away from me...
Thinking of this, Markuko immediately took out a black remote control from the drawer.
With a gentle press of the one-way glass in front of the monitoring room, the curtains and lights in the office automatically turn off.
The room was suddenly plunged into darkness…
Just then, a glowing projection screen slowly descended...
It also displays... "Connecting..."
About ten seconds later, a beam of light suddenly appeared on the screen, and shortly after, a clown appeared respectfully in the center of the screen.
This person is actually the show's host... Ugly.
It was quite obvious that there was a barely perceptible hint of shock in his eyes…
In the background behind him, the lighting was dim, but the sound of raindrops pattering on the leaves could still be faintly heard…
It sounds like there are many trees around him…
"Sir, why did you suddenly decide to video call me? Is there some instruction you need?"
His voice was very formal, without his usual manic tone…
Makuko smiled slightly...
"You've had a tough time, Ugly. Are you getting used to being in the jungle?"
Ugly grinned, seemingly flattered...
“Working for the group is not hard work. The environment here is beautiful, and we have all adapted to it.”
"Sir, please don't hesitate to ask for your instructions, and I will do my utmost to fulfill them."
"Um…"
Makuko nodded in satisfaction, then slowly stood up…
"The show has been so popular lately that many people have their eyes on my cash cow."
I'll get some people and weapons over for you tomorrow to protect the competition venue.
If anyone other than the challenger, or any armed group, is spotted approaching, shoot them dead on sight; no report is required.
Ugly was slightly taken aback; this show had never experienced any outside interference before…
However, he didn't ask any further questions and simply nodded in agreement...
"in addition……"
Makuko added:
"Ye Feng must survive to the end. If necessary, help him out. But it's best not to take action yourself; breaking the rules is not good."
Also, after tormenting him for so long, it's time to give him a reward...
His gift was too light. Before the other challengers arrive, could you add some more for me…?
Ugly asked in confusion:
"Would you like anything added?"
Makuko took a puff of his cigar. Although he really wanted Ye Feng to survive to the end, he couldn't afford to disrupt the game's balance...
Otherwise it won't look good...
After a moment of silence, he revealed a cunning smile…
"His team has two girls, and their close-combat abilities are too weak. They should add some items to improve their combat strength..."
After saying that, Makuko made a gesture as if pressing a lighter...
Ugly immediately understood...
"Yes! I'll take care of it right away."
After saying that, Makuko hung up the phone…
Early the next morning—
Achoo!
A sneeze instantly jolted Liu Sisi awake from her half-asleep state...
The heavy rain last night kept them very safe; there were no mosquitoes or wild animals to bother them.
The price they paid was that they were soaked in the rain all night, despite having raincoats and backpacks to protect them…
But the temperature dropped several degrees, making them shiver with cold.
At this moment, Liu Sisi felt dizzy and disoriented, not at all like someone who had just woken up.
A thin, white snot streamed from her nose, and she realized that she seemed to have caught a cold…
"No, please don't get a fever! I can't afford to collapse right now..."
She kept encouraging herself, telling herself that she absolutely couldn't get hurt before finding Ye Feng...
In the wild, any disease can be a life-threatening trigger…
Liu Sisi knew very well that once she had a fever, her brain would lose its ability to make judgments.
Not only does it cause weakness and make it impossible to walk, but in severe cases it can even lead to coma...
