Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

At noon, Li Shuo hosted Hang Bin for dinner, and naturally, he brought along Chen Yu, Liu Wei, as well as people related to the game such as Le Chengzhi and Chen Dong.

After what happened in the morning, Hang Bin's attitude seemed a little distant. After sitting down, he turned to Li Shuo and said, "Brother Shuo, to be honest, President Lei has always been paying attention to you. Before I came here, he specifically told me to take a good look at the development of Shuoguo Group. Do you have any new ideas? If so, Shunwei Capital is waiting for investment..."

The key point is "how it develops". Although Li Shuo and Lei Jun "hit it off" at first, capital is profit-seeking! Hang Bin is a very shrewd person. When he saw Liu Wei kept silent about the sales performance of the new game, he naturally had some thoughts in his mind.

This kind of rhetoric is not meant to blame anything, but to tell Li Shuo that since the first game of Shuoguo Internet did not perform well, should we increase the dividends to shareholders? Or should we speed up the development of other projects? How can you, Li Shuo, guarantee the company's development this year and future profits?

At this time, even if Li Shuo asked Liu Wei to re-report the results of "The Invisible Guardian", it lacked some authenticity: If the results were so good, why didn't he say it just now?

Li Shuo pondered for a moment and said, "I have a lot of ideas. At present, the main thing is to make Shuoguo Internet bigger and stronger. Later, its game business, the original Wolf Pack department, will be split off from the company to form Shuoguo Games. I wonder what Mr. Hang thinks?"

He deliberately didn't say what Shuoguo Games would do in the future, but just made empty promises. Hang Bin naturally didn't buy it. He pretended to be surprised and asked, "Is Shuoguo Internet developing so fast? It's even possible to split the company?"

To put it bluntly, you haven't developed Shuoguo Internet well yet, and you want to split the company? You want me to invest? You are dreaming!

Li Shuo smiled and said, "To split the company, we only need sufficient capital. I'm not short of money... Well, Mr. Hang should know that I made some money in the securities market, and I'm still quite well-off now. I heard that Mr. Lei has a big project this year. I wonder if you can give me a share of it?"

Hang Bin was stunned, and for a moment he didn't recover from Li Shuo's sudden turn, but no one ever complains about having too much money. Shunwei is a capitalist with a big business, and he usually brings in other people when doing projects!

"I didn't expect Mr. Li to be so well-informed. Mr. Lei really wants to put some effort into mobile phone manufacturing this year. Since last year, we have done a lot of research on the mobile phone industry..."

After hearing that Li Shuo wanted to invest, Hang Bin's attitude changed significantly, from an investor to someone soliciting investment, from being taciturn to being talkative! Moreover, his attitude was sincere. He did not say grand slogans such as Lei Jun founded Dami Technology to revitalize national science and technology. Instead, he directly told Li Shuo about Shunwei Capital's research on the industry, and then talked about some of Lei Jun's manufacturing plans to prove the feasibility of this matter.

Finally, he approached Li Shuo and lowered his voice and said, "To be honest, bro, Mr. Lei is currently investigating in Taiwan. As long as he confirms which company's chip will be used in the first generation of mobile phones, Rice Technology will register immediately and then start designing the first generation of Rice mobile phones..."

This tells Li Shuo that Dami Technology has started to get serious about its work.

Li Shuo suddenly felt nervous after hearing this. He had set his sights on Dami Technology last year, but he didn't expect Lei Jun's progress to be so fast. If Dami Technology has already been registered, then he can only wait for the A round of financing before investing again, and by then he will not be an original shareholder!

"Boss Lei is really a man of action. I just heard the news, but I didn't expect that Boss Lei has already achieved this level..."

Li Shuo had labeled himself as a "die-hard fan of Lei Jun" at the beginning, so he had no psychological pressure to praise Lei Jun at this time. He boasted to Lei Jun non-stop, and then said: "Boss Hang, let me be honest with you, does Boss Lei need investment? If he has financial pressure, I will definitely put all my wealth on it..."

Hang Bin smiled happily after hearing this, and waved his hands hurriedly: "Alas, brother, you are wrong. Investment is something everyone needs. It is not a question of money, but about sharing the risk..."

"Brother, let me be honest with you. No project can guarantee a steady profit. This is also the case with Mr. Lei's investment in Rice Technology. Rice Technology is a company that combines the attributes of technology and offline physical factories in the mobile phone industry. The technological attributes mean large investments and slow results, so the risk of return is naturally high. The offline physical factory attributes mean that it is labor-intensive and prone to labor-capital disputes and various management problems. In addition, mobile phones are also a high-tech industrial chain. In the entire chain, any mistake in any link will bring risks..."

"Mr. Lei had thought deeply before starting Dami Technology. In addition to making money, he also wanted to realize his own social value... So, brother, think about it carefully. Don't make rash decisions when investing!"

To put it bluntly, before founding Mi Technology, Lei Jun never thought that Mi phones would sell so well. Later, he even expanded the "Mi Grocery Store", covering almost every aspect of home appliances.

Li Shuo didn't expect Hang Bin to really speak his heart out to him. He didn't hesitate at the moment. He shouted, "It's okay. I believe you and Mr. Lei." He took out his cell phone and immediately called Lei Bus...

Everything went smoothly afterwards. The two men, who had not seen each other for a long time, exchanged pleasantries. Hang Bin interrupted in the middle, explained Li Shuo's intentions clearly, and said a lot of good things about him. Lei Jun's good impression of this die-hard fan immediately revived, and he readily agreed to Li Shuo's investment request.

Of course, since it was a verbal agreement, the specific share he could get would need to be discussed next time they met. Before the call ended, Li Shuo also invited Lei Bushi to visit Leng Hai, and the two sides agreed on a time for this...

With Li Shuo's investment in Dami Technology, after the call ended, Hang Bin's attitude towards him was obviously much warmer. After all, he was the first party in the investment and Li Shuo was the second party in the company. Now it's different. Both of them are the first party in the investment...

At this time, Li Shuo talked about some of the achievements of "The Invisible Guardian". Liu Wei joined in and listed the future plans of the game, which made Hang Bin nod his head repeatedly...

For a moment, both the host and the guests were delighted...

In addition to Hang Bin, Li Shuo also had a lot of exchanges with Chen Dong and others whom he had not seen for a long time. Of course, they mainly talked about games and e-sports.

Chen Dong told Li Shuo that after PLU was incorporated into Shuoguo E-Sports, it has begun to develop in a diversified manner under the company's planning. It is no longer confined to the two games of StarCraft and Warcraft, but has appropriately developed online live broadcasts of the two real-time strategy games DOTA and LOL.

Because these are the two most popular online battle games in 11, the results were very good after the broadcast, and they were recognized by a large number of game players. As a result, PLU's traffic has more than tripled since the beginning of the year, and the sales of various peripheral products of Shuoguo E-sports, which PLU is affiliated with, have also skyrocketed, earning considerable profits...

However, as he was talking, he returned to his true nature as an old StarCraft player and started talking about StarCraft again: "In addition, we haven't given up our old business. PLU's StarCraft Gold League is now the undisputed No. 1 in China..."

Li Shuo was almost sleepy after listening to all this, when he suddenly heard Chen Dong say, "...Yesterday, the World Esports Association invited us to go to South Korea in March to participate in the annual World Esports Conference. Brother Shuo, let me tell you, this association is incredible. It has international capitals such as Samsung and SK, and is funded and supported by game manufacturers such as Blizzard. It is the most influential organization in the esports community worldwide. Even WCG was founded by it..."

Li Shuo shuddered and remembered something: the reason why he knew PLU founder Chen Dong in his previous life was because he had been interviewed by Tencent Games. In that interview, Chen Dong was specifically introduced as "the only Chinese in the World E-Sports Association."

Li Shuo, who was an outsider at the time, didn't quite understand it, but now he has come to his senses. Judging from its capital structure and the level of its creation of WCG, this e-sports association is really awesome.

"Wait, if it's the World Esports Association, why are there so many South Korean investors?"

"This involves the historical origins of e-sports. As you know, e-sports existed before, but it was only after StarCraft that it was widely recognized by the world. South Korea's StarCraft is the strongest, and it has giants such as Samsung and SK supporting it..."

Seeing that Chen Dong was about to speak out again, and was praising South Korea, Li Shuo quickly waved his hand to interrupt: "Okay, I get it. If you attend the World E-sports Conference in March, you can represent Shuoguo Games..."

"Fruitful game?"

"Well, after the sales of The Invisible Guardian stabilize, I will extract the game business from Shuoguo Internet and establish Shuoguo Games. By the way, Shuoguo E-sports was also affiliated with Shuoguo Internet before, and this time it can also be incorporated into Shuoguo Games. Liu Wei will be in charge of it when it is first established and will be responsible for the transition. After it is completed, you will be the CEO..."

After the injection of chicken blood, Chen Dong was even more excited than Liu Wei. He grabbed Li Shuo's hand and thanked him repeatedly, and then began to talk about his plans after becoming the CEO of Shuoguo Games:

"I've wanted to make my own game for a long time..." "I still want to create my own original 2D game..."

This is related to the future development of Shuoguo Games. Li Shuo listened very carefully this time. He even gave him the phone number of Le Chengzhi from MiHoYo Studio. It seems that these two people have a lot in common. Li Shuo is also looking forward to seeing "Genshin Impact" as soon as possible.

When he had almost finished talking, Chen Dong slapped his head and invited him:

"...Brother Shuo, are you free in March? Then we can go to South Korea together?"

"June?"

Li Shuo had a plan to go back to South Korea, but he needed to wait until the Shuoguo Trade officially started. Then he thought that he left too hastily and failed to sort out the affairs of the South Korean fish, so he replied: "It's not impossible, but I can't give you a clear answer. How about this, I'll let my secretary contact you a few days before you leave..."

"It would be best if you could go with me. The World Esports Association has the right to allocate various resources in the esports industry. I am powerless alone, but if a capital source like you joins, our voice will be greatly expanded..."

Chen Dong gave Li Shuo another reason to go to South Korea...

……

The meal lasted until 3 pm. However, after lunch, Li Shuo, who had just returned to China, had officially passed the adjustment period with Shuoguo Group: the accumulated affairs had been processed, the taxes owed had been paid, and he would finally have some free time, right?

As a result, just after leaving the restaurant, Lu Tingyu grabbed Li Shuo's hand and asked in a serious tone, "Boss, Shuoguo Culture and Shuoguo Internet are both producers of "The Invisible Guardian". Since you have inspected Shuoguo Internet, you can't favor one over the other. Shouldn't you go to Shuoguo Culture this afternoon?"

Li Shuo shook his head unabashedly at Lu Tingyu: "No, no, no, I trust you. You don't need to look at Shuoguo Culture..."

"No, even though you trust me, you only visited Shuoguo Internet and didn't go to Shuoguo Culture. If our employees knew about this, what would they think? As the president, I should strive to provide some benefits for the employees!"

"Welfare?"

Li Shuo was puzzled. Could it be considered a welfare if he went to Shuoguo Culture for inspection by himself?

"Well, let's go. We'll talk when we get there. Let me tell you in secret, I've made careful preparations for your next visit to Shuoguo Culture!"

As Lu Tingyu spoke, she pulled Li Shuo into her Porsche 911, then stepped on the accelerator and the sports car roared away!

Since he was pulled into the car, Li Shuo just let it go. Seeing Lu Tingyu refueling and turning skillfully, the open awning let the wind blow, making her long black hair flutter behind her. For a moment, he was also very impressed. He stretched out his hand to stroke Lu Tingyu's hair and smiled:

"Last year, you were still a poor art school student who couldn't find a job. Now, Yanran has become a standard beauty CEO. Tingyu, after this game is finished, I won't let you act in a movie anymore. How can a beautiful actress compare to the temptation of a beautiful CEO?"

Lu Tingyu took the time to throw him a seductive look and said in a sweet voice, "The beautiful woman and the luxury car are all thanks to my husband. Besides, I studied acting. If you want, I can switch between being a beautiful CEO and a beautiful star seamlessly."

"Oh? Then switch it for me and see what a beautiful star looks like?" Li Shuo placed his fingers on her red lips and rubbed them casually.

Lu Tingyu licked it with her tongue, and then the expression on her pretty face changed, becoming more charming and amorous, and her voice seemed to have some magnetism: "Mr. Li, it's an honor to cooperate with your company. I hope that next time you have a project, don't forget me... I have tens of millions of fans across the country, which can not only bring popularity to the project, but also..."

As she spoke, she leaned closer to Li Shuo and said with a sweet breath, "If a woman like me who has tens of millions of fans were to lie on your bed and let you do whatever you want, wouldn't that be a different experience?"
