Chapter 402 Cooperation with Penguin
"Prepare? Prepare for what? Just receive us as normal. Our company is no longer a small workshop. Even Mr. Ma from Penguin doesn't have to be so cautious.

Besides, hasn’t Mr. Ma been here before?Just do whatever you want, no need to prepare anything. "

Guo Yuan said so, and as a secretary, Cheng Shuqing naturally followed it obediently.

Therefore, Future Technology did not make any special preparations for Penguin Ma’s visit.

But it was different at Penguin. News suddenly came out from Mr. Ma that he was going to Hangzhou to have a negotiation with the boss of Future Technology in person.

As soon as the news came out, Penguin was in an uproar.

After so many years, Mr. Ma has never taken the initiative to meet the person in charge of any company.

The next day, Mr. Ma and Mr. Luo, Penguin’s CFO, took a special plane to the headquarters of Hangcheng Future Technology.

Guo Yuan naturally knew the news of Mr. Ma's arrival in advance.

No matter what boss Guo Yuan's attitude is towards Mr. Ma, future technology must at least make a show, and must give the highest level of attention to Mr. Ma.

Liu Xiaoyin asked the company to prepare for the reception in advance.

As soon as Mr. Ma got off the plane, Liu Xiaoyin asked Cheng Shuqing to arrange for the driver to drive Guo Yuan's car to pick up Mr. Ma.

After Mr. Ma arrived at the Future Technology Headquarters, Liu Xiaoyin came out to greet him personally and led Mr. Ma to Guo Yuan's office.

To be honest, I wasn't surprised that Guo Yuan didn't come out to greet Mr. Ma in person.

When Future Technology was still a small shrimp, Guo Yuan didn't even greet him personally when he came to visit. Guo Yuan even dared to refuse some of his requests at that time.

Now that Future Technology has become such a large-scale company, young people who were ignorant of the sky and the earth in his eyes have now become beings that he wants to treat as equals.

Not to mention that this time Mr. Ma came to seek cooperation between Penguin and Future Technology.

Penguin’s WeChat is the most downloaded APP in China. Once you start to contact society, WeChat becomes indispensable.

But WeChat itself does not make money. What makes money is the ecosystem built by Penguin itself using WeChat as the entrance.

Among them, the games with the strongest monetization capabilities are Penguin’s games.

There are two evergreen trees in mobile games: King and Peace Elite.

No matter how awesome the Honkai Impact series is, like Genshin Impact, there is no single month of revenue that can beat that of King of Kings.

That is to say, a fight with the Peace Elite.

PC games LOL, DNF, and CF, these three games can be said to be the pillars of the Penguin Empire, especially DNF, which can bring tens of billions of revenue to Penguin every year.

Now the future technology game "Ultima" clearly threatens Penguin's game.

More importantly, Penguin currently has no games that restrict Future Technology, but Future Technology has ways to control Penguin.

In this case, it is even more impossible for Guo Yuan to greet him in person.

Being able to send one of his confidants, Liu Xiaoyin, the actual third-in-command president assistant of Future Technology, to come out to greet him was already a great honor for him.

To be able to be the boss of such a large company, Mr. Ma's Qi cultivation skills are certainly not bad.

Mr. Ma exchanged a few words with Liu Xiaoyin in the elevator, without putting on airs at all.

Several people came to Guo Yuan's office, Liu Xiaoyin knocked on the door, and then Cheng Shuqing, who had been waiting at the door, opened the door from the inside.

"Mr. Ma, please come in, our boss is inside." Cheng Shuqing made an invitation gesture and said.

When Mr. Ma walked into Guo Yuan's office, his first impression was that the president's office in the new headquarters of Future Technology was a bit empty.

Previously, Mr. Ma went to the floor rented by Future Technology. The president's office was very small and had a clear view.

The president's office seems to be quite large, and there is a door that is not very obvious. There should be a living space inside.

However, in such a large office, there are few furnishings, giving people a very empty feeling.

"Is this to show that I am thrifty?" Mr. Ma thought in his heart.

Thinking back to Mr. Ma, who looked calm on the surface, he walked over and stretched out his hand and said: "Mr. Guo, we meet again. We haven't seen each other for a while. The development of science and technology in the future can be said to be changing with each passing day! Mr. Guo can do this at such a young age. What a career, it’s really admirable!”

Hearing this, Guo Yuan smiled slightly and extended his hand: "Mr. Ma is joking, you are the senior, I still have a lot to learn from you!" After saying that, the two of them shook hands.

After that, there was a very harmonious business exchange. Those who didn't know thought the two were very good friends.

Having finished boasting, the two of them came to the sofa.

Cheng Shuqing sat down on her knees and started making tea.

Mr. Ma, who knew the tea ceremony, could tell at a glance that Secretary Guo Yuan had considerable knowledge in the tea ceremony.

Wealthy businessmen in the south generally prefer tea ceremonies, which Guo Yuan has recently experienced.

In order not to show his timidity in front of these people, he also supplemented his knowledge of tea ceremony for a while.

Tea ceremony is a traditional tea art that pursues harmony, calmness and purity, and is also a way of spiritual cultivation.

The tea ceremony emphasizes not only the technique of making tea, but more importantly, the entire process of tea ceremony to achieve the harmonious unity of soul and nature.

The core of the tea ceremony is the "Four Harmonies", namely the harmony of the utensils, the harmony of the heart, the harmony of water and the harmony of tea.

Utensils and utensils refer to the tea sets and other furnishings prepared for use, which are required to be simple, concise and elegant.

Xinhe emphasizes that participants must have a peaceful, focused, humble mentality and respect each other and the environment.

The water quality must be pure and the water temperature must be consistent with the tea leaves.

Tea harmony refers to the selection of tea and the skills of making tea, pursuing the color, aroma and taste of the tea soup.

Cheng Shuqing is quite talented in this area. After learning for a while, she already looks like a veteran who has been immersed in tea ceremony for many years.

Cheng Shuqing used copper coins and bamboo charcoal to make a fire, started the stove, and placed the iron kettle on the stove to heat it in preparation for making tea.

After the iron kettle is heated, use the hot water in the kettle to wash the tea cups and bowls with hot water, so that the guests can feel clean and pure.

Then Cheng Shuqing put the tea leaves that he had counted before into a tea bowl, brewed it with hot water, then gently stirred the tea leaves to make tea soup.

This tea leaves are very particular. The number of tea leaves required to receive different people is also different.

Then Cheng Shuqing poured the brewed tea soup into the tea bowl. She raised her right hand slightly, put her arm vertically downward, supported her right wrist with her left hand, held the tea bowl, and handed it to Mr. Ma.

Guo Yuan said with a smile: "Come on, come on, Mr. Ma, try this cup of tea. This is the best tea. Most people would be reluctant to take it out."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Ma took the tea bowl with his right hand, while holding the bottom of the tea bowl with his left hand, and then raised the tea bowl to appreciate the appearance, pattern and shape of the tea bowl, as well as the color and fragrance of the tea soup.

I saw him turning the tea bowl gently to distribute the tea soup evenly and feel the aroma of the tea soup.

Then take a sip to taste the tea soup and slowly feel the taste and texture of the tea soup.Then Mr. Ma’s eyes lit up.

Mr. Ma is different from Guo Yuan. Guo Yuan learned this purely so that he would not show timidity in front of others, but Mr. Ma really understands tea. As Guo Yuan said, this tip is the best among the best.

"It is indeed good tea. The annual output of Maojian of this quality is probably only a little."

"It seems that Mr. Ma also knows tea!"

"Mr. Guo also likes tea? I thought young people like you wouldn't like this kind of thing!"

"It's not like I like it, but I just have a drink or two occasionally. By the way, Mr. Ma, you should have something to talk about this time, right?" Guo Yuan asked, turning the subject.

"There are indeed some things. Mr. Guo, I came here to talk to your company about virtual reality technology.

I know that your company's virtual reality technology is very different from traditional VR, and has achieved a true sense of allowing humans to experience games immersively.

This technology is very important to us at Penguin, so I would like to reach a cooperation with your company. "

"How do you want to cooperate, Mr. Ma?" Guo Yuan asked with a smile.

“Since current games cannot be directly connected to your company’s virtual reality technology, let’s develop a new one. I want to jointly develop a virtual reality game with your company.

All expenses during this period will be paid by us. At that time, the game will still be carried by your company's helmet, and we can make 37 of the revenue from the game. "

"This 7% is definitely not ours, right?"

Mr. Ma smiled and shook his head.

"Then I refuse. Mr. Ma, you are so insincere. You want our technology and you still want to make so much money?"

"Mr. Guo, you misunderstood. Our company does not want your company's core technology, that is, we have no contact with the head-mounted brain-computer interface technology. All we want is your company's platform."

Guo Yuan was stunned when he heard this. To be honest, he was a little moved.

Using your own helmet as a platform to develop games for various companies and earn a share is indeed a money-making idea!
"How about Mr. Guo, you just provide a platform, you don't need to participate in the operation, let alone any management, just like steam and our we game, you can get 30% of the share, this transaction is not a loss. "

Guo Yuan also knew that the deal was indeed worthwhile. He did not expect that Mr. Ma would come up with a solution so quickly and also made an offer that he could not refuse.

Who can refuse this kind of thing where you can make money while lying down?
Besides, Future Technology’s games include the artificial intelligence 01, the memory information uploading technology provided by Yuan Dongqing, and the humanoid behavioral module provided by Guo Yuan. In terms of NPC and monster intelligence, other companies are definitely It is inferior to the future era.

In other words, even if the future era cooperates with them, the impact on the future era will be very small.

Thinking of this, Guo Yuan no longer hesitated. He had already decided to cooperate with Mr. Ma. It just so happened that Guo Yuan also wanted to use Penguin's influence to do something.

"Mr. Ma, I can accept your cooperation plan, but we still need to discuss the sharing."

Mr. Ma frowned when he heard this: "Nowadays, mainstream game platforms charge 30% of the fee. Mr. Guo, you don't want to break the rules of the industry, do you?"

"Mr. Ma misunderstood. I just think that as the first person to eat crabs, Mr. Ma should do me a small favor."

"Is there anything Mr. Guo needs my help with?"

"That's right, where is Mr. Ma's company! There may be some big actions in the recent period. I hope Mr. Ma can give some support then."

"A relatively large operation? What does Mr. Guo mean?"

"This is a business secret and cannot be disclosed to Mr. Ma for the time being, but I can assure you, Mr. Ma, that it will not be anything illegal and will not have any impact on Penguin's basic base, whether it is social networking or games."

"As long as I agree, Mr. Guo, will you be willing to cooperate with us?"

"Correct."

After a moment of silence, Mr. Ma nodded and said, "Okay! Mr. Guo, I promise you."

Guo Yuan smiled when he heard this: "Mr. Ma, I wish us a happy cooperation."

"Pleasant to work with."

The CEOs of the two companies have reached an intention to cooperate, and the specific cooperation plan will depend on the negotiations between the following people.

In the evening, Guo Yuan invited Mr. Ma to have dinner at the Peace Hotel in Shanghai.

The reason why he went to Shanghai was naturally because after dinner, Guo Yuan wanted to stop by to see Lin Yumo.

Lin Yumo's confinement period is over, but she is not in a hurry to leave the hospital. Instead, she is undergoing postpartum rehabilitation in the hospital. She can allow herself to be plump, but she is absolutely not allowed to weigh 130 pounds now.

Lin Yumo's goal is 100 to 110 pounds.

"What? Mr. Guo, are you already a father?" Mr. Ma was a little surprised to learn that Guo Yuan became a father while eating.

In Mr. Ma's opinion, it is impossible for a young and promising person like Guo Yuan to get married and have children so early.

Unexpectedly, Guo Yuan is already a father.

Guo Yuan smiled and took out his mobile phone to show Mr. Ma a photo of his son.

The child, who is just over a month old, looks very much like Guo Yuan with his pink and jade face, and other parts are carved in the same mold as Lin Yumo.

After dinner, Guo Yuan asked Cheng Shuqing to see Mr. Ma off while he drove to the hospital.

"Why did you come here so late today?" Lin Yumo asked, who had just finished her evening exercise.

"Today Mr. Ma from Penguin came to our company. I met with him and had a meal by the way."

"Mr. Ma from Penguin! You must be competitors, right? Why is he coming to see you?" Lin Yumo asked curiously.

“We were competitors before, but not necessarily now.”

"What do you mean?"

"We have reached a cooperation, we" Guo Yuan told Lin Yumo the cooperation he had reached with Mr. Ma.

Lin Yumo was a little surprised when she heard this: "As expected of Mr. Ma, his mind works so fast. He came up with a way to break the situation so quickly, and he even convinced you."

“It’s not that he convinced me, it’s that I really need to use the influence of WeChat to do something, so I agreed to cooperate with Mr. Ma.

With this foundation of cooperation, it will be easier for me to carry out my subsequent work. "

"What kind of cooperation is it specifically?" Lin Yumo asked.

"The rocket aspect."

Lin Yumo didn't ask any more questions after hearing this. She really didn't know anything about rockets, and Lin Yumo wasn't interested in rockets or anything like that.

"Wow wow wow~" The sudden cry of a child interrupted the conversation between the two. Lin Yumo ran over immediately, followed by Guo Yuan.

The little guy had pooped at some point. Guo Yuan and Lin Yumo, the newly appointed parents, hurriedly changed the baby's diapers.
