"I know how to liven up the atmosphere."
Having been in the business world for many years, Zheng Zhisheng could handle these situations with ease. "However, I still have some questions I'd like to ask you. Is it convenient for you?"
Yu Mobai glanced at the audience's reaction and said with a grin, "This part wasn't in the rehearsal."
"Tch, that was intentional."
"I was wondering which student was so bold as to directly confront the leader."
"I thought he was really brave, but it turns out he was just teasing us."
The students in the audience immediately lost interest.
Zheng Zhisheng couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this; this kid was no ordinary person either.
The conflict was resolved with just one sentence; it seems he's quite shrewd.
However, he didn't follow Yu Mobai's lead. Instead, he stood up and asked, "You just said that you're most optimistic about games...tracks? Is that the word? What's your basis for that?"
"In 2006, my country's online game users reached more than 40 million, with more than 20 million paying users, and revenue reached 5.96 billion yuan, an increase of 61.39% compared to 2005."
"In 2007, the game market reached 9.3 billion yuan, an increase of 57% year-on-year."
"Having undergone a transformation in business models, my country's online game industry has ushered in a new round of rapid growth..."
Yu Mobai was very familiar with this data, because he had been tinkering with this kind of thing in his previous life.
Zheng Zhisheng listened attentively from below the stage.
Actually, he didn't have high expectations for this welcome party.
He wouldn't have come if Lü Changbin hadn't extended a warm invitation to visit his alma mater.
Although Shanda has a wealth of talent, given his level and vision, he wasn't actually that interested in these newbies.
But now it seems he was wrong.
The young man on stage, speaking so eloquently, is probably a rare talent.
This student has a very sharp internet mindset, and it's remarkable that he could come up with this idea based solely on his own guess.
"Then I'd like to ask, what do you think are the reasons why our country lacks core competitiveness?"
Zheng Zhisheng understood this problem very well, but most people couldn't see it clearly. He just wanted to see what this student was really capable of.
Before Yu Mobai could answer, the audience erupted in chaos again.
The students at City College were all secretly gossiping.
Who is that old man up ahead?
"Is this someone from Shanda? Why are they targeting our school?"
"He's so petty, what kind of person is he? And he's a leader?"
Being aggressively questioned by a leader in an auditorium with thousands of people—most students would probably be too nervous to say a word.
"This son of a bitch, even the leaders can't bully people so blatantly. Why doesn't our principal stand up and say something fair?"
Wei Yufan muttered something.
"That's right, even Shanda shouldn't be bullied like this. Look at those Shanda guys over there, they're all waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves."
The tutor sitting in the back, Chen Jihai, naturally recognized the person in front.
He was also worried for his students.
However, I still didn't have high hopes.
On stage, Yu Mobai did not feel any pressure.
In terms of foresight, he knew the development of the game industry more than a decade from now. Even if the person in the audience was very experienced, no one could have a sharper vision than him.
However, he didn't want to say.
This is a top secret! His money-making secret, and you just revealed it all because of one sentence?
Are you kidding me?
"I'm sorry, sir, this is not an option to answer."
Yu Mobai smiled and refused.
"Not convenient to answer?"
Zheng Zhisheng decided to push him this time, asking forcefully, "Is it that you don't know how to answer, dare not answer, or are unable to answer?"
Now, the auditorium fell completely silent.
The freshmen at the City College were all worried for Yu Mobai.
This dog of a leader is really going after their school?
How old are you? Can't you have some shame?
Backstage, Ji Mushu looked at Yu Mobai with some concern, "Sister Yu, who is this person?"
"He seems to be a high-ranking executive at some company, but I'm not really sure."
Yu Xinran shook her head. Today, because of her performance, she was wearing a leather jacket and pants, looking both cool and sophisticated.
"Don't worry, he should be able to handle it."
Ji Mushu nodded slightly, her gaze still fixed on Yu Mobai.
Everyone was waiting for Yu Mobai's answer.
But he laughed.
A moment later, under everyone's gaze, Yu Mobai, who had been humble and amusing, changed his attitude completely. He straightened his back even more, his expression became serious, and he looked down at the audience with an air of arrogance, confidence, and swagger. "Since you don't know the answer to this question, then I'll answer it for you for free this time!"
Upon hearing this, the students from Sheng University in the audience were immediately displeased. What kind of talk was that?
"Goodness, even more boastful now."
"I just don't know if his knowledge base is enough for him to show off like this."
"What are you pretending for? You're obviously broke."
On the Shanda side, the general consensus is that Yu Mobai is not optimistic and believes that he is just putting on a brave face.
The next moment, Yu Mobai said unhurriedly, "According to my understanding, a large number of game companies were successfully injured in 2007, and the industry has now entered an era of monopolistic competition, and the threshold for this industry has been further raised."
"Many large companies have begun aggressively acquiring foreign companies and collaborating on game development, sharing technology. This demonstrates the undeniable influence of my country's game industry on the global online gaming landscape. However, currently, original online games account for less than half of the domestic online game market share..."
Zheng Zhisheng went from having a big smile on his face to looking serious at the end, all because of a few words Yu Mobai said.
In the end, he had to admit that this kid's strategic vision was even better than that of the company's senior executives!
Zheng Zhisheng suddenly asked, "Then in your opinion, which of Tencent, Perfect World, Shanda, and NetEase can be called the leader in my country's online game industry?"
Yu Mobai replied, "Tencent."
Zheng Zhisheng frowned. "Why?"
Yu Mobai replied, "Because he's shameless."
The students below the stage laughed when they heard this.
But Zheng Zhisheng didn't laugh, because what he said was true.
Zheng Zhisheng then asked, "Do you think NetEase can catch up with Tencent?"
Yu Mobai chuckled, "It's alright, at least it won't be so bad that you can't even see the taillights."
The two exchanged questions almost without pause, so quickly that the students present hadn't even had time to react before the next question began.
Many people will probably never forget that on the day of the welcome party, a freshman named Yu Mobai talked about the Internet with ease and freedom, and his whole person was radiant as if he was shining.
Zheng Zhisheng stopped and asked with a smile, "Excuse me, what's your name?"
"Yu Mobai."
"By the way, I'm actually not very optimistic about Youdao Search."
