Chapter 607 Cooperation and Siheyuan

In fact, when Chen Li saw Chen Qiao's plan, some of the legends in his mind about this person in his previous life were shattered!

Although this person in his previous life later lost his reputation due to some things, many rumors about him are still discussed by people from time to time.

For example, this man with a keen eye chose the online game "Legend of Blood" at a glance, and in the end the success of this game directly made him the richest man.

For another example, after getting the agency rights for "Legend of Hot Blood", they came up with a trick and obtained broadband and server support from China Telecom and Dell Computer respectively.

In his previous life, when Chen Li saw this information, he really admired Chen Qiao.

After all, none of these things can be done successfully by ordinary people.

But when Chen Li read Chen Qiao's plan, he finally understood the truth: screw his grandma's legend.

The reason why Chen Qiao chose "Legend of Hot Blood" was entirely because he had only enough funds to win the agency rights for this game.

If Chen Qiao had enough funds, Chen Li could guarantee that this guy would definitely choose "Paradise" instead of "Legend of Blood."

After all, "Legend of Blood" is not worthy of mentioning "Lineage" in other markets. Where does Chen Qiao have the confidence to think that this game will be better than "Lineage"?

As for the so-called white wolf with empty gloves, let’s take a few of them!

In fact, he has acquaintances in both Dell and Telecom, and even these acquaintances are not ordinary employees in these two companies.

It was precisely because of this personal connection that Chen Qiao was able to obtain broadband from Telecom and servers from Dell with the help of a contract.

As for the so-called deception, don’t be joking. Do you really think that the people in these two companies are fools? Are they so easily deceived by Chen Qiao with just a piece of paper?

If it were that easy~ these two companies would have been deceived into bankruptcy long ago.

Facts have proved that most of the things that are unbelievable to ordinary people have some tricks that ordinary people are not aware of.

Of course, this plan only broke the "legends" about Chen Qiao in Chen Li's memory, but this does not mean that Chen Qiao is not powerful enough.

Otherwise, why did "Legend of Blood" selected by Chen Qiao become such a hit?

You must know that although the domestic online game market in 2001 was far less popular than that of later generations, "Legend of Hot Blood" was not without other competitors.

Among other things, NetEase launched its self-developed "Westward Journey" in 2001. However, due to too many bugs and unstable client issues, the results were dismal, and NetEase almost gave up its self-developed game business.

It is said that Ding Sanshi had even gone to South Korea at that time, preparing to find a suitable game agent. This game was "Elf OL" later launched by Wangnan.

However, although Wangnan has also embarked on the road of agenting games, it has not given up on the road of independent game development, and fortunately it has not given up.

After going through a difficult decision, Wangnan decided to start again, redoing the underlying structure of the game on the basis of "Westward Journey 1", and reborn a year later in the form of "Westward Journey 2".

Speaking of which, I have to mention that during this independent research and development process, the R&D team of NetNan had differences. However, this is not a bad thing.

Because it was this disagreement that directly gave birth to the money-grabbing fugue that Wangnan would use in the future, that is.

"Fantasy Westward Journey"!

Many people may not know that this game, which has become one of the main sources of income for Wangnan, was actually born out of "Westward Journey 1".

It is said that during the development process, the client, art resources, and underlying structure of "Fantasy Westward Journey" were directly copied from "Westward Journey".

It was only later that the game was recognized and a complete independent client was built.

But even so, the two games actually have similarities in many places.

But if you copy your own things, basically no one will care.

Of course, neither the success of "Westward Journey 2" nor the later "Fantasy Westward Journey" can cover up the failure of "Westward Journey 1".

Even though these two classic online games are based on the failure of "Westward Journey 1", if you lose, you lose!

At least~ in 2001, "Westward Journey 1" could not beat Shengda's "Legend of Blood".

Even the two are not on the same level at all!

Similarly~ At that time, there were more than just Netnam competitors to "Legend of Hot Blood" on the market, but none of these people blocked the development of Shengda and "Legend of Hot Blood".

It can be seen that simply describing Chen Qiao as having no choice but to choose "Legend of Legend" under financial pressure is somewhat imprecise.

It can be said that Chen Qiao's vision did play a very important role in this choice.

Otherwise, he might not have chosen "Legend of Legend", but some other games in the Korean game industry.

Similarly, although Chen Qiao has his own connections in Telecom and Dell Computer, how to use these people, or how to make these people willing to use him, actually reflects Chen Qiao's personal charm.

If it were another person, it might be hard to say whether these people would be willing to help him like this.

So in the final analysis, Chen Qiao's success is partly due to the so-called luck, but more of it lies in Chen Qiao's own ability.

However, considering that this talented person from a prestigious university, it seems that it is not surprising that he did this.

Not to mention anything else~ Just talking about his college days, even Chen Li, who was reborn and had double system buffs, could not compare with Chen Qiao.

At the very least, Chen Li failed to complete his studies ahead of schedule. He didn't even have the chance to obtain a college diploma.

Although Chen Li gave up on his own initiative, giving up means giving up. In terms of results, there is no difference between taking a leave of absence and not graduating.

Not to mention that Chen Qiao won a lot of various scholarships and honorary titles during college, but Chen Li never received any of these things.

Of course, Chen Li still had a scholarship, but he gave it up voluntarily.

After all, his fried chicken restaurant had already started to make a profit at that time, so he didn't take up the spot.

As for the honorary title, don't be joking~ If Su Mei, who was his counselor at the time, hadn't been urging him every day, Chen Li would have been idle every day.

Given his character, what honorary title would you give him?

And to be honest, even if Chen Li takes everything he deserves, compared with Chen Qiao in college, he is still not at the same level.

This is a matter of ability and personal charisma. Chen Li believes that he cannot compare to Chen Qiao in this regard.

Therefore, the reason why Chen Qiao was successful in his previous life may indeed have had a bit of luck, but it was definitely not a fluke.

For people like him, there are usually only two endings, either to win and become a master.

Or just lose everything!

Of course, if you lose, others will not know who Chen Qiao is, but once you win, this kind of person will soon become a famous figure.

As for such people, Chen Li had seen several people in the news media in his previous life. In addition to Chen Qiao, there was also the boss of a certain electrical appliance chain, and that young talent who liked to endorse himself.

Almost all of these people have one characteristic, and that is incomparable self-confidence.

This is clearly reflected in both itself and the way it does things.

But these people also have another thing in common, that is, their final situation does not seem to be very good!

Of course, even if Chen Li could predict the occurrence of these things, it would not prevent him from reaching cooperation with Chen Qiao during the autumn and winter of 2000.

That's right~ Chen Li and Chen Qiao have reached a cooperation, not just financing.

To put it simply, Chen Li and Chen Qiao founded a new company together after investing their own capital, and this new company will independently operate matters related to the agency of the Korean online game "Legend of Blood".

Hmm~ The name "Legend of Hot Blood" was changed by Chen Li. After all, the original "Dragon" is not as comfortable as "Legend of Hot Blood".

Among them, Chen Li invested up to 500,000 US dollars, but only owned 49% of the shares.

Chen Qiao invested one million Huaxia coins and participated in the actual management and operation, holding 51% of the shares.

To be fair, purely from the perspective of capital contribution, this share allocation is definitely unreasonable.

After all, the difference in investment ratio between the two parties is too huge. Even if Chen Qiao has some hidden resources, these may seem insufficient compared to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

But it is impossible for Chen Qiao to lose the initiative. Chen Li can guess this without even thinking about it.

So~ when Chen Qiao was thinking about how to persuade Chen Li, Chen Li agreed to the other party's conditions. I have to say that this almost moved Chen Qiao.

Without him~ Chen Li's words "I believe in your vision" and the fact that he gave up the initiative of the company when he contributed a large proportion of the capital, made Chen Qiao feel like his thousand-mile horse finally met Bole.

.

But Chen Qiao didn't know that Chen Li just didn't want to get too involved in this matter.

Whether it is Chen Qiao's future reputation or the future of the company under his name, it is impossible for Chen Li to have too much contact with Chen Qiao.

This cooperation is a pure investment behavior. Chen Li will directly choose to get out at the right time.

It is for this reason that the investment this time was not in Chen Li's personal name, but in an offshore company that Chen Li had previously asked Mu Xiaoqing to set up in Hong Kong City.

In other words, apart from the parties involved, there is almost no other cooperation between Chen Li and Chen Qiao.

Even the person who negotiated specific cooperation matters with Chen Qiao was Mu Xiaoqing who was temporarily called back by Chen Li, not him himself.

In fact, there is not much to discuss in this cooperation. After all, Chen Li directly stated his attitude that he will not participate in the company's operation and management.

With this point out there, what else can Chen Qiao say?

It can be said that he almost agreed to any request made by Chen Li without much consideration.

In fact, Chen Li didn't even make any requests. He just reminded Chen Qiao through Mu Xiaoqing, mainly because of the possible problems in the "Legend of Hot Blood" game that he was about to represent.

Chen Li knew it~ In his previous life, after the "Legend of Hot Blood" became a hit, the dispute between Shengda and the game developers directly went to court due to interest issues.

And the most outrageous thing is that Shengda went through a lot of hard work at that time, and even ended up directly acquiring the developer of "Legend of Hot Blood", but even so, it was still unavoidable to be stained with a lot of chicken feathers.

That's right~ It's the IP dispute about "Legend of Blood". This dispute has been going on for more than 20 years and has not ended.

Anyway, before Chen Li was reborn, news about the IP dispute for "Legend of Hot Blood" would come out from time to time.

You must know that by that time, Shengda was already gone!

Therefore, Chen Li specifically warned about this, mainly because he was worried that Koreans would come out to cause trouble for their own benefit, which would undoubtedly damage Chen Li's interests.

However, it is hard to say whether this kind of reminder is useful. After all, the IP rights issue regarding "Legend of Blood" is extremely complicated.

But if he can avoid or avoid some pitfalls, then Chen Li will naturally earn more.

This time, Chen Li took advantage of the Nasdaq market break to call Mu Xiaoqing back to Yanjing. In addition to cooperating with Chen Qiao, there was another reason. He wanted to pay bonuses to Mu Xiaoqing again.

.

In the past six months or so, Mu Xiaoqing has made a lot of money from Chen Li in the capital market, and Chen Li is not a stingy person. In addition to the bonus originally paid to Mu Xiaoqing, this time, Chen Li directly gave it to

I bought Mu Xiaoqing a house.

Of course ~ Mu Xiaoqing helped Chen Li make so much money, Chen Li would not be stingy, so he gave Mu Xiaoqing a villa worth 2.6 million.

If twenty years later, you want to buy a villa for RMB 2.6 million in Yanjing City, it would be an absolute joke.

But in 2000, a villa worth RMB 2.6 million was considered a very good property in Yanjing.

In fact, Chen Li originally wanted to give Mu Xiaoqing a courtyard house. After all, from an investment perspective, buying a courtyard house is definitely more cost-effective than buying a villa or something.

Chen Li had previously purchased a pretty good-looking courtyard house, located near Shichahai, with an area of ​​nearly 600 square meters and an average price of less than 9,000.

At that time, Chen Li heard the news from Chef Gong that someone was planning to sell the Siheyuan. Chen Li slapped him on the forehead, which even shocked Chef Gong.

It's not surprising that Chen Li was surprised, it was because he had really forgotten about the hugely profitable industry of courtyard houses.

The main reason is that in his previous life, Chen Li was just an ordinary person, and he had no connection at all with something as high-end and elegant as a courtyard house.

So even after he was reborn, Chen Li really didn't think about it.

Later, after Chef Gong reminded him, Chen Li immediately asked Zhang Ruolan to arrange the matter. He planned to buy more courtyard houses. Even if he didn't like living in courtyard houses, it was a good idea to buy them for investment.

However, the sale and purchase of this courtyard house was not as simple as Chen Ideal at all, especially in 2000. Even though the sale and purchase of the courtyard house was no longer news, the number of transactions in the courtyard house was still very small.

It is not just a matter of price, but some other issues. This is why Chen Li has now bought a courtyard house!

However, as long as Chen Li remembers this matter, he will naturally not let it go. He has asked Zhang Ruolan to set up a company, intending to specialize in the investment of courtyard houses.

After all, selling fried chicken in Siheyuan is a huge profit!
