"Oh, by the way, what brings you here?"
After inviting Wu Changxun to sit down, Chen Yiyang finally asked why he had rushed over to see him.
"Stop pretending." Wu Changxun stared at Chen Yiyang and said, "The dostic shooting ga sector is Tengxu's lifeline. Your sudden plan to enter the shooting ga field is tantamount to declaring war on us.
Considering our years of relationship, can you tell to what extent your shooting ga has developed? Is it about to be tested?"
Huh?
Only then did Chen Yiyang realize why Wu Changxun had suddenly co to see him.
He thought Chen Yiyang was planning to venture into the shooting ga field.
If Chen Yiyang were working on other types of gas, Tengxu would not have had much of a reaction.
But shooting gas are different.
Tengxu relied on two gas back in the day: one was DNF, and the other was CF.
Although CF was initially a buy-one-give-one freebie that Tengxu acquired by luck, it allowed Tengxu to dominate the dostic shooting ga field.
Later, Tengxu imitated CF and developed its own ga called War of Resistance, earning considerable money.
Since then, Tengxu has placed imnse importance on the dostic shooting ga sector, typically adopting a strategy of agency plus self-developnt.
When battle royale gas gained popularity, Tencent followed this approach by acquiring rights to develop a battle royale mobile ga and simultaneously creating its own battle royale ga.
Although Tengxu's self-developed battle royale ga did not succeed and quietly faded away,
the battle royale mobile ga erged as a surprising success, becoming another cash cow under the Tengxu brand.
Once the SODAR search-and-destroy ga genre erged, Tengxu quickly followed suit.
Facts proved Tengxu right.
The SODAR genre exploded in popularity dostically, earning Tencent a substantial profit.
Then, just at this mont, Chen Yiyang published a post saying he was looking for talent in the shooting ga sector to create a SODAR ga.
Tengxu imdiately beca nervous.
Initially, Chen Yiyang's influence in the ga industry was average.
But since Chen Yiyang acquired Yingkumi and brought ani gas to the dostic market,
Tengxu had to pay attention to Chen Yiyang in the gaming field.
Mainly because Chen Yiyang's terrifying investnt success rate scared any company.
While Chen Yiyang hasn't invested in making many gas, each one has made money.
In contrast, Tengxu needs to invest in dozens of gas before one becos a major hit.
Many heavily funded gas don't even make it to testing before being abandoned.
Thus, Tengxu imdiately assud that Chen Yiyang had indeed entered the shooting ga field and that he was secretly developing the gas he invested in and was preparing them for testing.
The social dia post was to build montum for this ga.
That's why Wu Changxun hurried to get in touch with Chen Yiyang.
He wanted to know how far the developnt of the shooting ga that Chen Yiyang was investing in had progressed.
After understanding the reason for Wu Changxun's visit, Chen Yiyang initially intended to clarify things.
But he suddenly felt this might be a good chance to tease Wu Changxun.
So he rubbed his chin and said, "How about this? I promise not to enter the dostic shooting ga field if you promise that Tengxu won't enter the dostic ani ga field."
"That's impossible." Upon hearing Chen Yiyang's words, Wu Changxun imdiately refused.
Ani gas are too lucrative.
Yingkumi is a money-printing machine, earning several billion a year.
It's too tempting and enviable.
Wu Changxun thought that even if Chen Yiyang entered the shooting ga field, it might not threaten Tengxu's position.
But if Tengxu doesn't enter the ani ga field, it's like losing money without reason.
"That's not fair." Chen Yiyang said, "Then I won't reveal the extent to which my investnt's shooting ga has developed."
"Why don't you suggest sothing else?" Wu Changxun said, "Let's say, Tengxu offers you so favorable conditions?"
"Advertising deals and discounts won't cut it." Chen Yiyang retorted.
Despite Yingkumi earning so much money every year, it also spends a significant amount on ads across Tengxu's channels, mostly on yearly packages.
Though Wu Changxun ntioned discounts, the pricing of ads is still ultimately set by Tengxu.
"What do you want then?" Wu Changxun asked.
"I've just made a mobile ga that is about to be launched. Can it use Tengxu's social dia accounts for login at that ti?"
Tengxu controls the top two social platforms, Weixin and QQ.
Accounts from these two platforms can log into most software, not limited to Tengxu's but also those from other companies.
The advantage is that it saves users the step of creating a new account, making it easier to attract new users.
The downside is the substantial cost and the risk of Tengxu obstructing business.
"That's nothing." Upon hearing Chen Yiyang's proposal, Wu Changxun imdiately said, "As long as it's not a shooting ga, other types of mobile gas are fine."
"It's not a shooting ga; it's a level-passing ga, similar to those water park competition shows on TV."
Chen Yiyang briefly described the ga.
Actually, this type of ga already appeared in the market as a PC ga.
That's the Sugar Bean Man Adventure in which Chen Yiyang invested quite so ti ago.
In this ga, players take on the role of Sugar Bean Man, teaming up with others to pass various levels.
This ga initially caught fire but quickly faded away due to issues like hacks and high repetition.
However, Chen Yiyang felt this type of ga would adapt well to mobile, being a family-friendly ga suitable for all ages to play together.
Compared to Emperor's Pesticide, it offers shorter gaplay, more fun, less competitiveness, and better social interaction.
Thus, when investing in Sugar Bean Man, Chen Yiyang secured the mobile ga rights.
Now, the Sugar Bean Man level-passing mobile ga has gone through two rounds of testing and is about to launch.
Chen Yiyang felt this ga might overlap with Tengxu's moat-protecting gas, Emperor's Pesticide and King Chanchan.
He worried that if following the usual procedure and signing a contract with Tengxu to access its open platform,
Tengxu might dismantle the cooperation bridge once it decides to develop a similar ga, pulling the authorization.
The losses would be substantial.
Therefore, Chen Yiyang planned to sign a contract with Tengxu with severe penalties for breach and a collaboration term of at least ten years.
A level-passing ga show?
Even as soone knowledgeable in gas, Wu Changxun hadn't heard of this type of ga.
So instinctively considered it as aid at a niche audience.
Therefore he said, "No problem. Your ga can join Tengxu's open platform, and we can sign a separate contract.
But you must also promise to notify Tengxu in advance of any shooting ga you develop."
