Chapter 487: Chapter 456 Betting Decision

“You are very confident, and I’m eager to see what kind of spectacular competition will arise between the two companies,”

Wei Wen stood up, tucked away the wager agreent he had brought but had not used, and said with a smile on his face, looking at Hu Shuo in front of him.

Hu Shuo also stood up, the smile on his face nothing but a façade, “I hope you can go back and tell Chairman Chen that we at Ideal Paradise fear no one’s challenge.”

“Also, tell Chairman Chen to prepare 30 million for the wager agreent in advance, as we at Ideal Paradise will send soone to collect it personally when the ti cos.”

Just as Wei Wen was about to turn and leave, he stopped in his tracks upon hearing Hu Shuo’s words.

His expression turned sowhat sinister, “Although you are confident, Ideal Paradise is still a newly established company; as an individual, I advise you young people not to be too ostentatious.”

...

“Before the results of our wager co out, how do you know we are being ostentatious rather than demonstrating our strength?”

Hu Shuo spoke in a calm tone, He particularly disliked those who use their seniority to preach grand principles.

He already surpassed many of his peers in capabilities, even those five or six years his senior who were so-called predecessors.

The era when age determined capability had long passed.

In today’s information explosion, one can learn in a day what it would have taken a year or even years for predecessors to learn.

“I hope to see you just as confident at the next shareholder transition ceremony,”

Wei Wen smirked coldly, then turned and left Ideal Paradise.

He never truly considered these four young individuals, barely in their twenties, as worthy adversaries for Shengda; he even thought the chairman’s concerns were a bit excessive.

In his eyes, Ideal Paradise was rely a company set up by a group of lucky young people, only suited to be cannon fodder in a real business war.

After Wei Wen left, Pu Tongren couldn’t help but say indignantly, “This guy really looked down on us sowhat arrogantly.”

“That’s normal—many people from big companies are like that. If it were so other smaller company facing a behemoth like Shengda, they might really have capitulated,”

Hu Shuo sat back down, the negotiation having sowhat drained him.

Actually, he hadn’t done much; he just changed the original negotiation terms to be fairer, and more favorable toward the actual situation on Ideal Paradise’s side.

Take the wager agreent regarding monthly sales, for example; although the first few gas from Ideal Paradise were very popular, the critical point is that those gas were free-to-play.

Up to now, Ideal Paradise had not released a single ga that required paynt, so their target audience primarily consisted of free-to-play gars.

Despite everyone’s confidence in the newly developed “Tomorrow,” a major 3A ga, having confidence sotis isn’t enough without market analysis.

While there was a broad free market, they didn’t know how these custors would react to the upcoming paid gas from Ideal Paradise.

The release might be a disaster!

But Shengda was different; as a leading company that had been deeply entrenched in the gaming industry for over two decades, even though the quality of their products had seriously declined in recent years, they still retained a loyal user base.

These people had lived through the era of legends, many of whom were successful magnates; they played out of nostalgia, and as long as it was a Shengda ga, they would spend money on it.

Thus, if it were rely a competition in sales, Ideal Paradise, with its lack of a steadfast paying clientele, could easily suffer under such conditions.

However, competing in daily active users was different; user engagent depended on whether the ga was interesting or not, even for a company like Shengda with longti users—if the ga wasn’t fun, custors wouldn’t pay for it.

Wealthy bosses might pay for nostalgia, but they definitely won’t spend their own ti.

Ideal Paradise was different; its target audience consisted mostly of college students who generally had abundant ti and energy.

As long as the gaplay was sufficiently captivating and fun, it could convert into a high level of activity.

However, he had revised the terms of the gambling agreent, and Wei Wen had also proposed revisions to the rewards and penalties of the agreent.

The original 10% stake had been increased to 20%, and the agreent fee had been raised from 10 million to 30 million.

It’s safe to say that if Ideal Paradise lost this bet, it would be severely damaged.

Not only would it have to give up 20% of its shares, but it would also need to pay out an agreent fee of 30 million, considering that the company’s current market value was just over 50 million.

Hu Shuo alone could not make such a decision; he had the backing of Pu Tongren and a few other elders to dare to negotiate so boldly with the other party.

Risk and reward are relative, and if Ideal Paradise won, it would obtain 10% of Shenda’s shares, while the 30 million agreent fee would seem insignificant compared to the 10% stake.

Shenda’s 10% and Ideal Paradise’s 20% might sound like Shenda was giving up less, but in reality, Shenda’s stake was far more significant than what Ideal Paradise was risking.

After all, Shenda was a leading internet company in Modu with strong influence nationwide.

Not to ntion 10%, even if Ideal Paradise only obtained 5%, it would skyrocket.

“This is a high-stakes gamble on the fate of the company!” Pu Tongren patted Hu Shuo on the shoulder, while Yu Shutong and Qin Shan also looked slightly serious.

“Shouldn’t we consult Laosi’s opinion?” Qin Shan hesitated slightly and said.

He worried that when Laosi returned and saw that everyone had staked the company against Shenda without his consent, he would be angry.

Pu Tongren heard Laosan say this and smiled broadly.

“Haha, Laosan, when did you beco so cautious? Do you think that if Laosi were here, he would only bet 10% of Shenda’s shares? He would probably stake the entire Ideal Paradise! Laosi has never been one to shy away from risks,” he said.

After speaking, he looked up at the group photo hanging on the eting room wall, which was taken before Gu Yu left, in the eting room with everyone.

In fact, he hadn’t told anyone that the last ti they spoke on the phone, Gu Yu had instructed him to take on whatever attack Shenda launched against Ideal Paradise.

Gu Yu had also ntioned that if he encountered sothing he couldn’t handle, he should dial a mysterious number.

Thinking of this, Pu Tongren took out his mobile phone from his pocket and opened his contacts.

In the special notes, he found that eight-digit special shortcode, noted as—Laosi’s butler.

This number was Gu Yu’s trump card, as it could supposedly connect him to Gu Yu’s family.

That’s why he dared let Hu Shuo negotiate with Wei Wen.

“Alright, since we’ve decided to sign the gambling contract with Shenda, we need to work harder. We must give him a surprise when Laosi returns!”

The muscles on Yu Shutong’s face relaxed; he really didn’t care about the business aspects, in his view, his responsibility was to make the ga good.

“Alright, let’s all give it our best!” Qin Shan also nodded, extended his hand,

Everyone got the ssage imdiately, placed their hands over his, and then shouted in unison, “Fighting!”
