CSGO Unboxing Streamer: A Charity-Driven Tycoon

Chapter 143 Conditions That Will Inevitably Be Rejected! How could it be so fast?
Is Perfect World interested in investing?
Upon hearing this, Lu Yiming's expression turned strange.

As for the so-called price later.

This left Lu Yiming speechless.

To put it bluntly, these platforms are just community servers. Their ability to grow is mainly due to Valve's tacit approval and their inaction regarding their official servers.

The cost to the so-called Chinese server operator is negligible.

Moreover, his possession of the divine artifact "Di Ting" means that his platform will stand out among all other platforms.

There is really no need to cooperate with Perfect World.

However, the other party's attitude remained consistently good.

Lu Yiming didn't need to resort to sarcasm.

After a moment's thought, he smiled and replied, "Of course! I'd be very happy to develop the domestic CSGO esports market with Perfect World! A shareholding deal wouldn't be appropriate! Let's do a direct equity swap! Perfect World will exchange 5% of its shares for 10% of Funan Fanxing Technology Co., Ltd.'s shares, up to a maximum of 30% in our company! Then our two companies can jointly develop the CSGO esports business! What do you think?"

Equity swap.

It is one of the most in-depth ways for companies to cooperate.

Upon hearing this, the other party immediately fell silent.

Lu Yiming smiled and waited for the other party to continue.

He was certain that the other party would not agree.

As for what happens if I agree?

Since you agreed, you agreed.
The exchange only involved shares of Funan Star Technology Co., Ltd.

The key is Pangu Technology Company, which is behind Diting.

It can be said that only Di Ting exists.

Lu Yiming can start another company to create a platform at any time.

However, if the other party really agrees, Lu Yiming will cooperate with them seriously, since his initial goal was simply to provide a green platform for his fans and himself.

Equity swap?

Five percent for ten percent?
How could he dare to say that!

Wang Jiming glanced at Lu Zhen, whose expression was shifting between anger and uncertainty.

He immediately closed his slightly open mouth.

He then said, "Mr. Lu! You've gone too far with this joke!"

joke?

Upon hearing this, Lu Yiming said very seriously, "I'm not joking! This is the foundation of our cooperation! With Diting, we absolutely hold a dominant position among all platforms! Although Fanxing Technology is currently just a small company, its future is definitely promising! Operating CSGO is just the beginning!"

Of course they know that.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have made this call.

But this demand is really too cruel.

Perfect World's market value has exceeded 20 billion.

Agreeing to Lu Yiming's request means they acknowledge that the platform, which is still in the internal testing phase, is worth billions.

Is it worth it?

If Diting can truly completely prevent cheating.

It's absolutely worth it.

The problem is that it has only been released for less than ten hours, so who knows if problems will arise later?

Before the two called Lu Yiming.

The best-case scenario is to acquire at least 10% of the shares for a maximum price of ten million.

However, this shareholding cannot simply be limited to the platform.

It also needs to include the software "Diting".

To put it bluntly, this ten million is their bet on the future of Diting.

At this moment, Wang Jiming couldn't help but remind him, "President Lu! I admit that Diting is excellent, but it is, after all, just software. All software has vulnerabilities. I believe that with the strength of Perfect World, we can take Diting to the next level! Only through sincere cooperation between our two sides can we have a bright future!"

software?

Upon hearing this, Lu Yiming felt a surge of joy.

The other party didn't even realize the true nature of the Di Ting (谛听).

Listening is not software.

It's an AI algorithm disguised as software.

Software programs are written based on known experience to perform logic and calculations to obtain a correct result, mainly to improve efficiency and reduce human work.

Artificial intelligence programs, on the other hand, use data and algorithms to simulate and discover rules unknown to humans.

They are not the same thing in essence.

At this moment, Lu Yiming confidently smiled and said, "I have great confidence in my software! Mr. Wang, you can wait and see for a few more months before contacting me again, but the price will definitely not be the same then!"

Confidence as always.

Upon hearing this, Wang Jiming expressed his regret and said that they could talk again next time.

These conditions are unacceptable to him, let alone him.

Even Lu Zhen would never agree to that.

He promised but couldn't answer to the board of directors.

hang up the phone.

Wang Jiming looked at Lu Zhen and tentatively asked, "President Lu? What do we do next?"

The Perfect Battle Platform has already started its closed beta test.

However, its popularity is far less than that of Lu Yiming's Starry Sky Battle Platform.

The allure of a completely green platform is too great for players.

Lu Yiming had just hung up the phone with Wang Jiming.

Then I received a call from Jiang Yuanming.

"Hahaha! So many people have come to ask about Diting today! President Lu! What do you say? Shouldn't we let Diting shine?"

You could tell from Jiang Yuanming's laughter that he was in a really good mood.

However, Lu Yiming is the same.

Hearing this, he smiled and nodded, saying, "Let President Liu make the preparations! We'll release the specific details about Diting on the day the platform officially launches!"

The entire first ten days of August.

The Starry Sky Battle Platform has become a hot topic of discussion in the gaming community.

of course.

The core of the issue is not the platform itself.

It's actually the so-called "anti-cheating software" called Diting.

The reason for adding "so-called" is...

It has been discovered that Diting is not simply software.

With the involvement of various forces.

The ability to hear is the result of an intelligent program.

The second weekend of August.

Lu Yiming saw the topics being discussed in the live stream comments after the broadcast started that evening.

He immediately nodded and said, "That's right! Diting is a software based on AI algorithms! The one used on the Fanxing platform to protect CSGO from cheating is just a stripped-down version of it. In fact, it should have a greater role in the security field, but its weakness is its demand for computing power. Without the stripped-down version, your computers simply can't run it!"

Software must be registered and filed before it can be used.

It was only a matter of time before this got out.

In addition, they had originally planned to hold a press conference as soon as the platform was officially launched.

Lu Yiming didn't try to hide anything.

Holy crap! That's awesome? Does that mean other games can also use the Listening Beast?

[Mr. Lu! Enough talk! Let's launch the platform as soon as possible! I can't wait!]

Wow, it really is an intelligent algorithm! No wonder so many teams are clueless!

[Actually, let's put the algorithm aside! The most disgusting thing about the Listening Beast is its defense mechanism; if you dare touch it, it'll flip the table!]

I heard online that Diting (谛听) can scan stock records! Is this kind of unparseable software really safe? Will it steal my privacy?

【.】

The business war has begun.

In the past few days, many online trolls have appeared targeting Lu Yiming's platform.

I saw people spreading rumors in the comments section.

Lu Yiming was speechless.

This method may be crude, but it's incredibly popular.

Explanation is useless.

At the same time, Lu Yiming would never do something like prying open someone's stomach to see how many bowls of noodles they ate.

However, we cannot completely ignore it.

At this moment, Lu Yiming directly screenshotted a comment and posted it in the live stream, saying: "Regarding the security issue, I want to emphasize that the main purpose of Diting is to protect the normal operation of the platform and the game. It will not interfere with any information other than the software itself. I can guarantee this with my personal reputation! If necessary, I can even put up ten million as a deposit! At the same time, there will be a press conference about Diting after the platform is launched. Those who are interested can pay attention!"

This response wasn't directed at the viewers.

It's not about the small group of people who follow his live stream.

Or rather, it's about that small group of people who are focused on Di Ting.

at this time.

Upon hearing this, netizens expressed that they did not believe the rumors circulating online.

I do hope that Lu Yiming can release another batch of beta test qualifications.

The Starry Sky Battle Platform currently has over five thousand daily active users.

After selling 2,000 beta test qualifications for 9.9 yuan on the 2nd.

From the 3rd to today the 10th.

He has been giving away 500 beta test qualifications every day for seven consecutive days.

A total of nearly 7,000 people were granted eligibility.

It is expected that approximately 20,000 access codes will be released this month, and then the closed beta will transition to open beta next month.

Currently, most CSGO streamers on the platform, except for a few who are under contract, are using Lu Yiming's platform to play.

It has received consistently positive reviews.

However, some are happy while others are sad.

The explosive popularity of Lu Yiming's platform has impacted the operations of several other platforms.

Chang Yuze.

One of the behind-the-scenes owners of the 5E platform.

He is also the owner of the CSGO Tianlu team.

At this moment, I returned to the company and listened to the report from the person in charge of the platform.

His heart sank.

Running a platform is not profitable to begin with, and now that daily active users have dropped by half, it has gone from not making money to starting to lose money.

It would be strange if my heart didn't turn cold.

At this moment, he said in a deep voice, "Is that Di Ting really that powerful?"

He's just a boss. He doesn't understand technology.

It's normal to ask this question.

At this point, the platform manager said with a wry smile, "Currently, no one has a way to break through Di Ting's defenses. I heard that Perfect World had previously tried to contact them for cooperation."

Hear this.

Chang Yuze, who had just returned to China, gasped in shock.

If the perfect platform contacts the other party, then the situation is different.

The reason I wasn't afraid of these two platforms that hadn't officially launched yet was mainly because all platforms are pretty much the same.

In any case, cheats cannot provide complete defense.

It's just a competition to see who's worse.

However, he is confident that he will not be the worst, and then rely on the team's traffic to drive traffic to the platform. He may not become the top player on the platform, but he will at least be able to compete.

But the emergence of a completely green platform at this time would be different.

These are the lost active users.

Don't even think about them coming back until their invincible body is broken.

As a businessman.

The issues to consider are relatively simpler.

Do it if it makes money.

If you're not making money, get out of here quickly.

Chang Yuze then looked at the platform manager and said, "Let's prepare for the worst!"

Hear this.

The platform manager nodded with a wry smile.

He naturally understood what those words meant.

However, there is still a chance.

After Chang Yuze left.

He immediately convened an emergency meeting with his team.

The meeting focused on the early launch of the "supply" feature.
The number of active users on a platform is only one aspect; the key is whether it can make money. However, this supply crate is a project that the person in charge is very optimistic about. Even if the number of active users on the platform decreases in the future, this feature will still allow the platform to continue to make money.

Lu Yiming has been very busy lately.

Live streaming and writing take up more than half of his time every day.

I'm finding it a bit overwhelming to handle company matters now.

Therefore, he once again delegated power, completely freeing himself from the company's tedious affairs.

However, this kept Cao Siyun quite busy.

She had to manage affairs for four companies simultaneously.

During a phone call with Lu Yiming that day, she subtly indicated that she was finding it difficult to cope with the current workload.

Lu Yiming nodded upon hearing this and said, "Okay! I understand! I'll give you an answer later!"

Cao Siyun is very useful.

Responsible and conscientious in work.

Be loyal enough to yourself.

Lu Yiming had long wanted to bring her over.

After hanging up the phone, he drove directly to Zhang Wei's law firm.

After arriving at Zhang Wei's office and sitting down in front of him.

Lu Yiming said directly, "Attorney Zhang! I wonder if you could release someone for me?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei's lips curled up in a smile.

After pouring Lu Yiming a cup of tea, she said slowly, "It's Attorney Cao, right? Actually, I've been waiting for you to say that, Mr. Lu!"

After he finished speaking, he took out a contract from the drawer.

She pushed it in front of Lu Yiming and said, "This is Attorney Cao's employment contract! From now on, she will officially be working under President Lu!"

No need to be polite.

After taking the contract, Lu Yiming looked at Zhang Wei and said, "It's almost been a year since I started working with your firm, right? This year's contract should be revised. I wonder if you have any services that allow for more in-depth cooperation?"

Collaborating with Zhang Wei Law Firm.

This might be the smartest investment Lu Yiming has made since his rebirth.

It solved many problems for Lu Yiming without him even realizing it.

It also brought him many unexpected conveniences.

Hearing this, Zhang Wei nodded and smiled broadly, saying, "Of course! I think a strategic partner should be able to meet President Lu's needs!"

Zhang Wei Law Firm was a small company with two floors and less than 100 square meters of space last year.

This year we moved to a new office address.

The firm has more than tripled in size.

The current environment is so bad.

For some companies, simply surviving is already a huge achievement.

However, Zhang Wei was able to lead his firm to great success.

In addition to business skills.

That's his attitude towards life and work.

Last year, Lu Yiming purchased 5% of the shares of Zhang Wei Law Firm for one million yuan.

He does not participate in profit sharing from these shares.

It's basically just getting a membership card.

The "strategic partnership" business that the two subsequently discussed cost Lu Yiming two million yuan a year.

The only difference is the addition of the words "strategic cooperation" to the existing cooperation from last year.

This deal will definitely result in a loss in the short term.

However, in the long run, Lu Yiming definitely makes a profit.

I left Zhang Wei Law Firm.

Lu Yiming went straight back to the company and found Cao Siyun.

Cao Siyun already knows the news.

Upon seeing Lu Yiming, he immediately stood up and said, "President Lu!"

From today onwards, she belongs to Lu Yiming and is no longer a lawyer dispatched from Zhang Wei's law firm.

The change in her identity made her a little nervous.

I wonder what kind of arrangements Lu Yiming will make for her next.

of course.

As an intelligent person, she was able to make some guesses.

At this moment, Lu Yiming sat down in front of her and said with a smile, "I want to entrust you with the management of several companies under my name. I wonder if you are confident that you can handle the job!"

This was exactly what Cao Siyun expected.

In fact, what she is doing now is managing these four companies on behalf of Lu Yiming.

It's just that it hasn't been officially confirmed yet.

Hearing this, he took a deep breath and solemnly said, "As long as President Lu trusts me, I am confident that I can do a good job!"

Everyone needs opportunities.

Her chance was Lu Yiming.

She was originally just a business lawyer at Zhang Wei Law Firm.

The salary is only around seven or eight thousand.

Although living in Xingcheng, a second-tier city, is considered above average, frankly speaking, it's just about living a decent life.

But ever since I came to Lu Yiming's side.

Not only did his salary exceed ten thousand, but the bonuses Lu Yiming received were even more than his salary.

Nobody complains about earning too little money, right?
In addition, Lu Yiming is generous enough and truly dares to let go.

She genuinely wanted to work with Lu Yiming.

Lu Yiming was very satisfied with her reaction.

He immediately nodded and said, "Okay! It's settled then! From today onwards, you will be my business secretary, and you will be in charge of all matters, big and small, for the four companies. I have already reached a new cooperation agreement with Zhang Wei Law Firm. If you need any manpower, just contact him! The salary is 500,000 yuan a year! And the year-end bonus will be substantial!"

A salary of 500,000 a year is not low.

Her current combined income is only 300,000 yuan per year.

Furthermore, Lu Yiming mentioned the year-end bonus.

This reminded her of the unexpected income of 100,000 yuan she had received before.

Cao Siyun ate the pancake!
Hearing this, she smiled and nodded, saying, "Thank you for your trust, Mr. Lu! I will do my job well and live up to your expectations!"

Honorifics were used.

In a sense, it can be considered submission.

The term might seem funny in modern usage, but in reality, when people are satisfied with their salary, they genuinely develop a class-like respect for their superiors.

This is human nature!
Make arrangements for Cao Siyun.

Lu Yiming arrived at Pangu Technology Company.

Through the glass door, one could see Liu Zhenyun looking worried.

After gently knocking on the glass door to attract his attention.

Lu Yiming pushed open the door and entered, saying, "What's troubling you? Not enough salary?"

Regarding Liu Zhenyun's salary.

Lu Yiming's offer was quite high.

As a "reward" from the system, he had said he didn't need much salary, but Lu Yiming still offered him an annual salary of 500,000 yuan, based on the industry average.

of course.

This is already considered very low for Liu Zhenyun, who developed the Di Ting (谛听).

But Lu Yiming always needs to leave some room for growth.

If you start by offering him a million-dollar annual salary, then raising it by another hundred thousand or twenty thousand later won't be as noticeable.

After all, the salary is at this level.

The taxes to be paid are very high.

There are even cases where an increase of hundreds of thousands is worse than no increase at all.

Looking at Lu Yiming walking in with a big smile on his face.

Liu Zhenyun said with a wry smile, "President Lu! You know me! Making me go on stage to hold a press conference is really putting me in a difficult position! Why don't you let someone else do it?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yiming's smile deepened.

Liu Zhenyun has a very introverted personality.

Let him go into seclusion to focus on development; he would definitely be the top leader.

But it's not certain if you do something else.

He immediately walked over and sat down in front of him, saying, "It's alright! We can just record a video and release it later! I didn't say you had to be in front of the camera! Let's not talk about this for now! I heard from President Jiang that Kunpeng is almost ready? How come it's so fast?"
