Since we are both reborn, of course I would choose the rich woman!

Chapter 166: Using the Beauty Trap on Lu Yao (6k Subscription Request)

Lu Yao first learned about the game development studio Game Science after the first trailer of "Black Myth: Wukong" was released.

At that time, Lu Yao's life was also full of vigor and vitality. When he saw this trailer, his passion for gaming, which had once cooled, began to heat up again.

Since then, Lu Yao has started to pay attention to game science.

However, by the time Game Science officially released the official version of "Black Myth: Wukong", Lu Yao had changed from the ambitious young man to a half-wasted person who spent all day in places of entertainment.

At that time, Lu Yao envied the creative team of "Black Myth: Wukong".

He even took the initiative to apply for the marketing and promotion position when Youke moved to Hangzhou and posted a job notice.

Although Lu Yao had an impressive resume at that time, he was rejected by Game Science because it had almost nothing to do with the gaming industry.

Looking back many years later, the people at Game Science relied on their stubbornness and ability to endure loneliness to truly build the backbone of domestic 3A games.

Now that Lu Yao has returned from studying abroad, he has also set his sights on the share of the domestic game market. He wants to rely on this track to accumulate funds and lay a solid foundation for himself to make a living. If there is a track that can help Lu Yao quickly accumulate technical strength, game science is definitely the first choice.

In fact, there are many companies in China that have game development capabilities, and many companies have led large-scale team projects.

But there are actually not many teams that can improve the level of game production technology.

The world itself is a huge makeshift team. In 2014, most game studios were obsessed with making money from web games, and there were not many game studios that really wanted to iterate technology.

Game Science is one such game studio.

The "Hundred Generals" they collaborated with NetEase and Lilith, and the "Red Tide" they developed later were both good, but Game Science was not suitable for commercial game planning and could not find a commercial breakthrough in the game projects.

And Lu Yao just made up for their shortcomings in this area.

Just like many bigwigs who lined up to give money to Game Science, Lu Yao is now feeling a bit anxious.

At this point in time, Game Science is an absolute dark horse and an important entity that can help it build a technological moat in the MOBA mobile game field.

While Lu Yao was waiting, Rong Nianqing finally arrived at the Luoma Lake from Shangnan.

Lu Yao had already packed his luggage. When Rong Nianqing arrived, he took Rong Nianqing and Liu Mulin, who came with Rong Nianqing, to the villa.

After he greeted Rong Nianqing, he said to Liu Mulin, "Your next job is very important. Help me set up an investment company. Transfer 100 million yuan of the money that President Rong brought to the account of the investment company, and then help me invest in the game companies currently on the market."

As he spoke, Lu Yao tore off a note from his notebook and handed it to Liu Mulin.

On this note paper, Lu Yao wrote down the game companies that can be invested in, including Qingci Digital, Yuxiang Technology, Warriors Network, and Mihoyo.

These are all the game companies that Lu Yao has investigated on the current market. Among them, Warriors Network is the game development company that later produced "Azur Lane". If you invest in them now, you will be guaranteed to get a share of the pie in the future.

Not to mention miHoYo.

A leader in the field of two-dimensional games, a game company that is competing head-on with the king, and even has a global revenue that once exceeded that of the king.

If he could really invest in it, even if one hundred million only accounted for 5% of the shares, Lu Yao could earn it back ten times or even a hundred times in the future.

But in June 2014, miHoYo had already started to make a profit from "Honkai Impact 6", and its monthly turnover after being listed on the Apple Store even reached tens of millions.

It is a bit late to invest now. The best investment opportunity was actually last year, but at that time Lu Yao had just returned from studying abroad. When he had money, he was beaten in the face by Tao Siyu and Tao Sixing, so he forgot about MiHoYo.

When I think about it today, I have already missed the best investment period.

However, Lu Yao has already invested the money in places with higher returns, and this money is also one of the bases for Lu Yao to fight against his future fate.

Lu Yao pointed to the names on the note and said, "Each company on this list has an investment amount between three million and five million. I have also marked how many shares you should get for this money. You can act accordingly."

"You can invest all the remaining money in miHoYo. This company has shown its potential and may not accept our investment. Just do your best."

Liu Mulin nodded: "I understand."

As Lu Yao took on more and more projects and the internal circulation of the product line took shape, the work Liu Mulin was responsible for became more and more important.

This time, the investment company was also discussed in advance by Lu Yao, Rong Nianqing and Liu Mulin, and Liu Mulin also holds shares in the investment company.

So although Liu Mulin is still Lu Yao's assistant in name, her actual identity has begun to change towards investor and president.

After explaining to Liu Mulin, Lu Yao picked up his gift and looked at Rong Nianqing: "Let's go."

Rong Nianqing smiled and said, "I haven't seen you so active in a long time."

Lu Yao felt that Rong Nianqing was blaming him, so he smiled and said, "Get these things done as soon as possible, so that I can concentrate on helping President Rong."

Although she knew that Lu Yao was showing off his high emotional intelligence, Rong Nianqing still smiled with satisfaction: "Then let's go."

Lu Yao first took Rong Nianqing's car to the nearest airport, and then took Rong Nianqing's private plane to Shenzhen.

On the plane, Lu Yao divided the work with Rong Nianqing and said, "After landing in Shenzhen, you can visit your boss in Shenzhen for the first few days, and you can also take me with you to create the impression that I am going with you."

"I will find an opportunity to contact the people from Game Science and bring them to you. Well, I might be a bit idle during my time in Shencheng. Don't mind."

Lu Yao began to give Rong Nianqing a shot of prevention.

Rong Nianqing understood very well.

Many children of upper-class business families who are really going to inherit the family fortune tend to stay at home and stay at home, while some of those who have scandals all over the place may really love to play, but there are also those who exile themselves and defile themselves.

Just like Xiao He defaming himself and Wang Jian asking for a title, it was a means of self-protection to show certain people that I was not a threat.

A player like Lu Yao who likes to set up traps to trick people is of course also good at using this method to create an illusion, but Rong Nianqing has never seen Lu Yao look so cautious.

When they were still at the Luoma Lake, Liu Mulin was asked to go out to do something. In Rong Nianqing's view, the investment behavior that Lu Yao asked Liu Mulin to do was a deliberate attempt to confuse the opponent's sight.

Now Lu Yao even assigned her.

This was the first time that Rong Nianqing saw Lu Yao in such a highly alert posture. Even when Lu Yao discovered Tao Siyu's intention and planned to kill him in Shangnan, he had never been so nervous.

However, when thinking about this opponent, Rong Nianqing understood it very well.

It is a penguin after all.

After Rong Nianqing had all sorts of thoughts in her mind, she said calmly, "I know that many people must have encouraged you during this period, so I'll take this opportunity to pour some cold water on you?"

Lu Yao withdrew his gaze from the blue sky and white clouds outside the porthole and said with a smile, "Okay."

Rong Nianqing said, "I feel that you are a bit too aggressive. Although you are completely different now than you were a year ago, your real foundation is still a little lacking. Choosing to go head-to-head with Penguin in the field of games is too reckless."

"According to my recent research, at this point in time, even if you make some money from web games, or accumulate some money from games with skins and pay-to-win, it's better than just going head-to-head with Penguin."

In fact, Rong Nianqing could understand why Lu Yao was so reckless. He probably sat down at the table too early.

After pouring cold water on him, Rong Nianqing comforted him, "But don't worry, don't be afraid even if you lose this time, there will be many opportunities in the future."

Lu Yao smiled.

How could he not know what Rong Nianqing said?

But Lu Yao's time to study abroad in the future is limited, only ten years, and he can't do anything for three years.

As the future landscape becomes increasingly solidified, there are actually not many opportunities left for him to get at the table. If he fails to achieve some results this time, he will not be able to catch up with the electric smart driving craze in a few years.

So after listening to this, Lu Yao smiled and said, "Opportunities won't always be there."

People like Lu Yao who have climbed up from the grassroots level may only become rich once in their life.

Rong Nianqing leaned back in the comfortable airline seat and smiled, "If I say yes, then yes."

Domineering.

But Lu Yao liked it very much.

……

After the plane landed in Shenzhen, Lu Yao and Rong Nianqing moved into a manor villa of the Rong family in Shenzhen.

Rong Nianqing's family would not buy real estate in a place like Suyu. They would only invest in building real estate in a small place like Suyu, but her family must have their own real estate in a place like Shenzhen. It is very convenient for them to come here to move around or do business.

In fact, Lu Yao is now a little impatient to meet Game Science, but he also knows that haste makes waste.

He followed Rong Nianqing to Shenzhen to visit some of Rong Nianqing's family's old friends, and met with several technology companies in Shenzhen to contribute to the development of "Xiao Yong".

It was not until four days later that Lu Yao began to move freely.

He first visited several well-known game development companies and studios in Shenzhen, and then cooperated with Liu Mulin in Shanghai. Liu Mulin introduced Lu Yao to Game Science through Wang Xinwen.

Unlike their later calm and even scholarly demeanor, the game scientists of this period looked a bit haggard.

They just left Penguin's game studio last year, and then Feng Ji pulled out seven people from his original team and jointly established Youke Interactive Technology Company.

They are currently working on a new game project.

But you can tell from their eyes and expressions that they are somewhat uncertain about their future.

The game they want to make is a "Dota Legend-style card battle game", and this kind of skin-changing game is somewhat in conflict with their philosophy.

Lu Yao also knew that they really had no talent in operating and making money from online games.

The two games he developed after leaving Penguin were indeed good and received many positive reviews, but they just didn't make money. After meeting Feng Ji and the others, Lu Yao did not show any special enthusiasm. He first invited them to have a meal together, and then had a good time at a nightclub.

When they were having fun at the nightclub, Feng Ji also said with a smile: "Boss Lu, I feel like you are a little different from what is said online."

Lu Yao leaned back on the sofa cushions in the nightclub and smiled, "What do you mean?"

Feng Ji laughed and said, "People on the Internet say that you are a scumbag who can only be attracted to women."

Feng Ji's personality is relatively talkative. After they added each other's contact information, Lu Yao saw that Feng Ji's circle of friends was full of recommendations for various works, as well as his own semi-rhyming limericks.

When he was in the "Douluo Dalu" project team, he was even willing to do a spoof ghost drama of "beating up the planner" to promote the show in order to bring back the popularity of "Douluo Dalu".

So after getting to know each other better, Feng Ji became more casual in chatting.

Lu Yao laughed and said, "You're not being straightforward enough. People online are saying that I'm a gigolo."

Feng Ji said with a smile: "In fact, before you came here, Mr. Lu, I got to know you in depth again. I feel that what is said on the Internet is all rumors and not true. You have relied on yourself to get to where you are today."

Lu Yao smiled: "It's great that you think so. I also want to clarify with you that the rumors on the Internet are not rumors. I really eat gigolos."

Feng Ji was stunned at that time.

Then Lu Yao said with a smile: "It's just that I won't eat soft rice unless it's a fairy product. Now you think I'm serious, it's just because I haven't found any girl worth pursuing."

Feng Ji smiled speechlessly.

He didn't know whether to praise Lu Yao's frankness and sincerity, or to despise Lu Yao's character.

But he quickly changed the topic, starting with some works and gradually moving on to games.

Then Feng Ji discovered that Mr. Lu, who was a gigolo, actually had quite a wide range of experience and profound insights on some issues. From the clash of their three views, Feng Ji felt that Mr. Lu was completely different from himself, but a very stylish person.

Feng Ji actually admires people like this.

After fooling around with Lu Yao until late at night, Feng Ji and Yang Qi said goodbye to Lu Yao and went back to rest.

When Feng Ji started working the next day, he received a message from his old acquaintance at Penguin: "Great, Old Feng, you have more resources every day than when you were here. I heard that you met the scumbag ancestor from Shangnan yesterday?"

After leaving Penguin's game studio, Feng Ji actually kept many of his connections there.

After the news of his cooperation with Lilith in developing games came out, old acquaintances from Penguin came with money to invest in them.

This is also the consistent style of Penguin.

Penguin is not an Internet game development company in essence, it is essentially an Internet investment company. What it likes to do most is to make a small investment for a big return.

Feng Ji's talent had been unanimously recognized during the DouZhengShen project, both in the industry and among players. So when the new game was developed, Penguin, in line with the principle of "better to kill by mistake than to let go", came to him with the money.

However, due to the experience of the "God of War" project and the failure to reach an agreement on Penguin's investment, Game Science did not accept all of Penguin's investment.

Feng Ji looked at the message sent by his former colleague and replied jokingly: "Yes, this ancestor is really handsome."

Former colleague: "Damn! When are you going to take me to broaden my horizons? Did you guys have a blast last night? [smirk]"

Feng Ji shook his head and laughed, and replied: "No, he said he doesn't like the vulgar women in the nightclubs."

Former colleague: “[wipes sweat]”

After chatting with them for a while, Feng Ji went about his own business.

The new project is currently in the planning stage, and there are still many things waiting for him to do.

In the former colleague's office, after talking to Feng Ji, he looked at the Penguin supervisor who was wearing a neat suit behind him and said, "This is the situation."

The supervisor's hair was meticulously groomed, and his temperament was cold and solemn. He also turned his eyes away from the chat history, smiled formally and nodded: "Thank you, I'll treat you to tea some other day."

After saying this, the supervisor went back to his office.

The supervisor sat at his workstation, thought about it, and began to write a report, reporting the contact between Feng Ji and Lu Yao. As for how the higher-ups would handle the matter, that was up to them.

The management who knew the exact situation began to discuss how to deal with the incident.

Although Penguin has become a giant in the Internet industry today, it has not relaxed its monitoring and suppression of external competitors, especially Penguin's core business and major businesses outside the core business.

Penguin's social communication base is basically such that anyone who dares to touch it will go crazy and beat them to death.

Lei Jun’s MiTalk was launched earlier than WeChat and its user growth was very stable. However, it eventually withdrew from the market due to reasons such as user migration from QQ and MiTalk’s unstable server.

As for why the server is unstable, it’s hard to say.

In addition to the basic business, Penguin's main gaming segment also maintains a high degree of sensitivity to the market.

He will definitely invest in companies he can, and will just copy those he can't!

Even if the copycat cannot defeat the genuine product, it still has to rely on its huge social base to take a piece of the pie from the opponent and reduce the opponent's development potential.

Even other capital entering this track will be targeted by Penguin to see whether it will pose a threat to itself.

The Internet, due to its convenient connectivity and instant social attributes, is destined to allow only a few companies to survive in a certain track, and it is extremely easy to create a "winner takes all" situation.

Even if their own company does not have the genes for other tracks, they will still invest money to disrupt the rhythm of their competitors.

So in the period around 2014, you can see that Alibaba, which started out as an e-commerce company, has never given up on trying to get into social networking; you can also see that Tencent, which started out as a social networking company, has never given up on trying to get into e-commerce, and if it doesn't work out, it will invest.

At the same time, you can also find that these two companies are also engaged in videos, text media, video media and other messy things.

They may not do it well, but they cannot not do it.

Currently, there is only one company like miHoYo that focuses on two-dimensional games and can surpass King of Glory for a period of time.

This is the law of survival for Internet behemoths.

When Lu Yao followed Rong Nianqing to Shenzhen and came into contact with game science, which was the focus of Penguin, it touched the nerves of the management.

After analyzing Lu Yao's recent behavior and the people he came into contact with after arriving in Shenzhen, the management unanimously agreed that as an aide to Rong Nianqing, Lu Yao was very likely to represent Jiangnan in entering the gaming industry.

But judging from Lu Yao's recent behavior, it seems that he is just making a simple investment move.

This is a normal business action.

The profits generated by the gaming industry every year are obvious to everyone. Its low-cost and high-return characteristics have attracted a considerable amount of capital to get involved. It is normal for Lu Yao to enter the gaming industry on behalf of Rong Nianqing's capital.

I just don’t know what kind of game Lu Yao plans to enter.

So Penguin planned to send out senior public relations personnel to find out the situation.

……

On the seventh day after arriving in Shenzhen, Lu Yao had become familiar with several wealthy men he had come into contact with in the past few days. Some of these wealthy men were bosses of small technology companies, and some were families familiar with Rong Nianqing.

In fact, both men and women have quick ways to quickly close the social distance between each other.

Most women can quickly strike up a conversation about bags and cosmetics, and become good friends by the time they’re done.

Men are even simpler.

If you meet the same man in an elevator for three consecutive days, the two men will basically look at each other without saying anything on the first day, nod in greeting on the second day, and directly shout "Yo Bu Rou!" on the third day.

Making friends in social situations is even easier. Just pass a cigarette, have a toast, and chat about women and you can basically become "drinking and eating buddies".

After Lu Yao had two drinks with this group of local rich guys, they started calling each other "brother".

But tonight's nightclub is different from the previous ones.

Because Lu Yao has been to many nightclubs and has worked there before, he is very picky when it comes to women. Lu Yao is immune to most of the women in nightclubs and has no problem with them.

But a different scene appeared in the nightclub tonight.

She was a woman wearing a red sequined halter dress. She had neat short shoulder-length hair and slightly curly hair, which was eye-catching enough with her makeup and outfit.

From Lu Yao's perspective of having seen women for many years, he could tell that the other party was an obvious beauty with a strong complexion. She looked pretty enough without much makeup, and she was even more radiant and charming with a little bit of makeup on.

This woman is not only beautiful, but also has a great figure. She is a typical example of "a small branch with great fruit".

Just like a top-level supercar, a supercar usually has a smooth and slender waistline, plus exaggerated front and rear shapes.

This woman was sitting with a group of young ladies at the bar next to the dance floor. She attracted a lot of attention just by sitting there. The rich guys in the nightclub who thought they had enough would go over and chat with her.

The logic of rich junglers is usually simple, because they have rice in their hands, so the chickens will usually come to them by themselves.

As for high-level monsters like the ones that appeared tonight, they would usually attack them twice to check their health bars.

obviously.

This bright and beautiful lady tonight has a thick health bar and high defense. So far, no rich man has been able to catch her eye.

Of course, Lu Yao also noticed the other person's existence, and his eyes unconsciously drifted over several times, and he drifted over to admire him sincerely.

That woman is like a hundred bucks dropped on the ground, it's hard not to notice her...
