rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 550 IQ and connections

To be honest~ From the beginning, Chen Li actually had no intentions of Chen Qiao and Sheng Da.

Again, as a chosen person with both rebirth and system buffs in hand, Chen Li had no worries about making money after he had his first pot of gold.

It's just that Sister Xu mentioned Chen Qiao before, and Chen Li happened to know that the other person was about to get rich soon. If he didn't step in and take advantage at this time, it would definitely be unreasonable.

This is a kind of disease. When people who don't like others, especially those whom Chen Li doesn't like very much, are about to become successful, Chen Li always wants to get involved.

Ding Sanshi was like this, and so is Chen Qiao now.

But it would take two years to take advantage of Ding Sanshi, and now Chen Li has not taken advantage of Chen Qiao.

This makes Chen Li very depressed!

And the most depressing thing is that he is obviously very depressed, but he has to put on a pity expression on his face to express his regret that he can't cooperate with the other party.

But in fact, Chen Li almost cursed her in her heart.

No one now knows how much wealth Chen Qiao has brought to his fortune by relying on that game in just a few years.

Well, except Chen Li!

It is said that when Legend was at its peak, the net income it brought to Shengda was as much as one million per day.

If this data were placed twenty years later, it would probably not be comparable to many mobile games.

But in the past few years at the beginning of the century, it would definitely make people’s eyes red with envy.

In fact, although Chen Qiao made a lot of money from Legend in his previous life, it was precisely because his income was so huge that there were countless people who were jealous of him.

In particular, he was the first person to truly reap the benefits of online games, which also caused this guy to directly become the target of public criticism.

Why did Chen Li not choose to take action himself even though he knew that Legend was extremely popular in his previous life?

You must know that Xu Xing is helping him acquire OICQ. Once OICQ is acquired, Chen Li will get the agency rights of Legend. Adding the two together~ the final answer will definitely be far better than Shengda in the previous life.

But from the beginning to the end, Chen Li never wanted to represent Legend. The reason was very simple. He didn't want to be scolded every day in the future.

In his previous life, Chen Qiao made a fortune from gaming, but he wanted to escape from the gaming industry.

Why?

There may be reasons such as Chen Qiao's optimism about the prospects of other industries, but there is one reason that is definitely a thorn in Chen Qiao's heart.

That is, although Legend made him a lot of money, it also made his reputation completely fall to the bottom.

This is just like how some people in the past and future always scolded Tengxun's Xiao Ma, saying that the games produced by Tengxun led to bad children.

But to be honest, what Xiao Ma has experienced is nothing compared to Chen Qiao at his peak.

In the early stages of the development of domestic online games, due to the strength of Shengda and Legend, almost all the firepower was focused on Chen Qiao alone.

The media scolded him, parents scolded him, gamers scolded him, and even his colleagues scolded him from time to time.

After all, Shengda at that time could be said to be the super giant in the domestic online game market.

If it weren't for Chen Qiaozhi not being in the online game market and always thinking about using the money earned from the online game department to make other investments, then probably nothing would have happened to Tengxun and Wangnan later.

To put it bluntly, if Chen Qiao had not helped Xiao Ma and Ding Sanshi to share most of the pressure in the early stage, Tengxun and Wangnan would not have been able to develop so steadily.

This realization was only realized by Chen Li after he was reborn. After all, he was just an ordinary player in his previous life. He was also one of the players who scolded Chen Qiao at the time, so it was naturally impossible for him to understand this.

However, after being reborn, Chen Li was able to figure out some of the twists and turns because of the different angles he stood at.

At the very least, Chen Li is sure of one thing. The reason why Shengda suffered so many attacks in terms of public opinion in his previous life was because Shengda's competitors must have been behind this.

Of course, these are all trivial matters. The ultimate downfall of Shengda in the previous life was still Shengda himself, and even more so, Chen Qiao himself.

Moreover, some of the things this buddy did later did not deserve Chen Li's sympathy for him.

It is also based on this that Chen Licai wanted to come over at this time and wanted to share part of the other party's future interests.

And the reason why he was so friendly to Chen Qiao after learning that the wool harvesting operation failed was naturally because Chen Li had not given up.

Regarding the history of Chen Qiao's fortune, Chen Li remembered it even more clearly than Brother Xiao Ma and Ding Sanshi.

In fact, at some point in his previous life, Chen Li even admired this guy for a while.

After all, the other party was only a few years older than him, but Chen Qiao's achievements at that time were simply beyond the imagination of Chen Li, who was just a wage earner at the time.

Chen Li also bought a book at that time, and the content of that book was about the development and growth of Chen Qiao and Shengda.

He even remembered that Chen Li bought the book at a stall selling pirated books near Yanjing Railway Station, and it cost him a full ten yuan!

Although there is no guarantee that the contents in that book are true, some of the general contents should still have a certain degree of credibility.

For example, when Chen Qiao represented Legend, he basically achieved success by brushing his face.

At that time, China.com was not optimistic about Chen Qiao's Shengda's involvement in the online game industry, so it withdrew its investment before Shengda could represent Legend.

After the divestment, only the US$300,000 that China.com left to Chen Qiao based on its shareholding ratio was left on Shengda's books, and Legend's agency fee was exactly this amount.

Of course, this is not a coincidence. In fact, Chen Qiao only had so much money on hand at the time, so he almost made a desperate move to negotiate cooperation with the Korean online game company.

In fact, it was not Chen Qiao who chose Legend with his keen eye, but Chen Qiao at that time. He could only choose Legend!

At that time, the agency fee for a game was very high, but fortunately Legend's operations in South Korea were not very ideal.

After all, at that time, South Korea far surpassed China in online game development.

As for the game Legend, if you look purely at game development, it can only be considered average.

This also led to the fact that Legend basically had no market in South Korea at the time.

Not only in Korea, but also in overseas markets, Legend has actually not achieved much success.

It was also for this reason that Chen Qiao successfully obtained the agency rights of Legend from the other party for US$300,000.

To put it bluntly, it is estimated that the legendary developer himself at the time could not have imagined that this game would be so popular in China.

This later led to a disagreement between the two parties, because at the beginning the game developers almost cooperated with Shengda with the idea that they could earn more agency fees.

But they didn’t expect that this game that they almost gave up would become a phenomenal online game in China.

So they agreed to cooperate with Shengda with a very loose increase~ But the problem arises here.

Legend's popularity not only made Shengda a lot of money, but also made Korean game developers regret it.

The conflict of interests directly led to disagreements between the developers of Shengda and Legend, which eventually even led to the decline of this game.

Many people say that the decline of Legend was ultimately caused by the emergence of private servers.

But in fact, if Shengda’s genuine games hadn’t disappointed players, who would have gone to play private servers?

Throughout the development history of online games, Chen Li has only seen the decline of games due to the incompetence of game operators. He has never seen the decline of a game due to the emergence of private servers.

After all, this thing is, at most, robbing some of the interests of the game operators. The decline of the game itself is often due to the problems of the operators themselves.

Chen Li remembers the legend at that time. Due to differences between Shengda and Korean developers, there were big problems in subsequent research and development.

As for Shengda itself, they did not think about solving the follow-up development problems of Legend. Instead, they directly imitated Legend and created a Legend world.

But even the legendary world~ was just a simple copy based on the legendary map at that time.

To put it bluntly, it’s just changing the soup without changing the medicine!

Such a situation is naturally not what players are willing to accept. They are already used to the game Legend, and naturally they are not willing to play the Legend world.

But Shengda saw that this was not going to work, and then quickly organized the R&D department to conduct in-depth development of the legend.

But by this time, it was too late. In addition, Legend had made several major mistakes during the development process, and various plug-ins and private servers were flying all over the place. However, Shengda still didn't pay attention.

Yes~ after all, as I said before, Chen Qiao never thought about continuing to make online games.

When various problems arose in Legend, Chen Qiao was already thinking about how to take the lead on the new track.

To be honest~ This guy is actually a really good player. In addition to the online game department, Shengda under his name has also taken the lead in many other projects.

For example, the later Qidian Chinese website ~ and then TV boxes and so on!

But this guy's idea may be too advanced, or it may be the inspiration that latecomers found here in Chen Qiao. Anyway, Shengda invested in a lot of things at that time. In the end, Shengda not only didn't make any gains~ but even gave up the entire company.

Broken down.

The most ironic thing is that those projects that Shengda did not produce at that time were eventually implemented by other companies in the future.

This is very fatal!

Perhaps it was precisely because of these wishes that Chen Qiao became disheartened and finally chose to go overseas.

Of course, no matter what the reason is, as long as he does something, it is done!

This guy later went to the United States and donated a huge amount of money to others.

To be honest, there is nothing wrong with donating money. After all, it’s not like Chen Qiao and Sheng Da have never donated money to China.

But for such a large sum of money, and it was money earned domestically, this guy changed hands and donated it abroad.

This may not be illegal~ After all, Chen Qiao earned the money by his own ability, and he can spend it however he wants.

But immoral!

Therefore, Chen Li has reason to stand on the moral high ground and take advantage of Chen Qiao's ideas.

Although the sheep has run away now, Chen Li guessed from the contents of the book he bought in his previous life that the sheep will come back sooner or later.

If Chen Li remembers correctly, soon after the Internet bubble burst, a large number of Internet companies would be affected by the bubble burst.

The cartoon website currently run by Chen Qiao is also among them!

Actually speaking, Chen Qiao's ability is absolutely beyond words.

Even if it's just a cartoon website, Chen Qiao still manages it in a lively and impressive manner.

He even spent money to buy the cartoon copyright of Black Cat Sheriff in order to expand peripheral products.

Not only that, Shengda has also started a cartoon magazine, and has successively received orders to do online animation advertisements for big-name manufacturers such as Audi and Rejoice. It is said that in good times, Shengda can even earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a month.

This was considered a very good benefit at the time. After all, most Internet companies these days only burn money and make no money at all.

But the good times did not last long. The super bubble of the Internet finally began to burst.

This caused the situation in the Internet industry to take a turn for the worse, and Shengda's cartoon website had not yet waited for the website to break even, and its online business began to decline.

The most serious problem is that after the Internet bubble burst, everyone was somewhat frightened when the Internet industry was mentioned.

This has also led to the emergence of a phenomenon, that is, people are not as generous as before when investing in the Internet industry.

Take Chen Qiao's Shengda, for example. China.com clearly agreed to invest three million US dollars in Shengda, but China.com has yet to deliver the last one million US dollars to Shengda.

It’s not that China.com didn’t have money. In fact, China.com had a lot of money at the time.

But at that time, China.com felt that investments should be made with caution!

In addition, Chen Qiao also intended to enter the online game industry~ But the online game market at that time was in a terrible state?

To put it nicely, the market is blank!

To put it mildly, no one is making money in this industry.

So Shengda's desire to be an agent for online games is like crossing a river by feeling for the stones. Everything in the future is unknown.

In the environment when the Internet bubble had just burst, China.com naturally wanted to be more prudent.

As a result, there were differences between China.com and Shengda.

In the end, China.com withdrew its capital, leaving Shengda with the final $300,000 to make a comeback.

Chen Qiao relied on the 300,000 US dollars left to him by China.com to reach the peak of the future, but

What if Chen Qiao had more than 300,000 US dollars in hand at that time?

You know, after Chen Qiao negotiated a cooperation with a Korean game developer, he had no extra money at all, and he couldn't even afford to buy game servers and broadband.

Fortunately, although Chen Qiao has no money, this guy has connections!

After all, he is a super elite who graduated from Fudan University, so it is absolutely normal to know a few famous people.

The information spread on the Internet in his previous life was that Chen Qiao took the contract and went to find Dell's supplier, saying that he wanted to operate a Korean online game and wanted to trial the server for two months.

Then Dell Computer looked at the formal contract in Chen Qiao's hand and thought it might be a big deal, so they agreed.

Then Chen Qiao took the contract signed with the Koreans and Dell and went to Telecom, and then got a free bandwidth trial from Telecom during the test period.

Judging from this information, it seems that Chen Qiao used a trick to fool people including Dell and Telecom.

In his previous life, Chen Li really believed this information, and it wasn't until he learned some of the inside story after his rebirth that he realized how tricky it was.

You know, Dell and China Telecom are not fools. How could they just listen to Chen Qiao and give you a free trial after just a few lies?

You must know that if you want to operate a game, the cost of game servers and broadband is a huge amount of money. How could Chen Qiao be exempted without the leadership or senior management asking?

To put it bluntly, the reason why Chen Qiao is able to obtain these conveniences depends not only on his IQ, but also...

Connections!
