Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 375 The newbie needs the most care and protection.

"Hmm." Chen Tianqiao nodded slowly and said, "You can't make this kind of mistake again. President Cheng is an important partner of ours. He has come to Zhonghai City, and it is only right and proper that I give him a welcome dinner."

"Actually, it's not too late to have a welcome dinner now." Cheng Yi seized the opportunity and said with a smile, "Anyway, I'm not leaving for a while."

Cheng Yi's words made Chen Tianqiao's expression freeze.

Chen Tianqiao had heard that Cheng Yi was shameless, but he didn't expect Cheng Yi to be this shameless. In front of so many internet bigwigs, Chen Tianqiao frowned and said, "That's right. In a few days, I'll personally host a welcome dinner for you."

"In a few days? One day or two days?" Cheng Yi asked.

Chen Tianqiao was slightly taken aback, then murmured, "Two days, I guess."

"If it's two days, then it'll be the day after tomorrow. Is it noon or evening the day after tomorrow?" Cheng Yi asked to confirm.

"Tonight, then." At this moment, Chen Tianqiao really wanted to hit someone.

Doesn't this guy realize he's just saying polite things? Does this person have any emotional intelligence at all?

Cheng Yi smiled and said, "Okay, let's set it for the night after tomorrow. I also have something very important I want to talk to President Chen about."

Chen Tianqiao snorted inwardly and didn't take it to heart.

He was absolutely fed up with Cheng Yi. Just seeing Cheng Yi's face made Chen Tianqiao imagine the mocking expressions on everyone's faces in the company.

With a mere two million yuan, they managed to transfer the agency rights.

To many people, Chen Tianqiao was like a rough, uneducated man who had never seen money before.

He now deeply regrets his decision and doesn't know why he made such a serious mistake.

However, if he were to review the situation and let the event happen again, he would probably still make the same decision.

He truly hadn't expected Cheng Yi's domestically developed operating system to have such a large user base. In his view, the user base of domestically developed systems was only around tens of thousands, but what about Momo Group's user base? At least five million!

This is absolutely outrageous.

In the field of operating systems, Momo Group is far more powerful than China Software Group.

Frankly speaking, the market in Handong Province is secondary; what Chen Tianqiao is most worried about is the expansion of Momo Group.

The contract he signed with Momo Group involved a restricted operating system.

If Momo Group's internet cafes expand nationwide, wouldn't that mean there are two Legendary internet cafes in China?

Is this still available?

Thankfully... this agency contract is about to expire.

Chen Tianqiao glanced at Cheng Yi, who was smiling, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

He suddenly thought of a way to get rid of Cheng Yi.

A smile appeared on his lips as he said, "I think we shouldn't reschedule. I'm hosting a luncheon for President Yang Yuanqing of Lianxiang Group today. If you'd like, why don't we join him?"

Chen Tianqiao's words immediately caused an uproar among those around him.

Many people looked at Cheng Yi with eager eyes, their gazes filled with envy.

At this moment, Cheng Yi truly came into the sights of these internet giants.

Cheng Yi understood perfectly what Chen Tianqiao wanted to do.

After all, Momo Group had some minor friction with Lianxiang Group, and Momo Internet Cafe had never purchased a single computer from Lianxiang Group. Strictly speaking, Momo Internet Cafe had never paid protection money.

Most importantly, Momo Internet Cafe also unified the market in Handong Province, which is equivalent to cutting off Lianxiang Group's market share in the Internet cafe industry in Handong Province.

Chen Tianqiao invited me to this banquet simply to stir up trouble.

Fearing that Cheng Yi might refuse, Chen Tianqiao smiled and said, "I've mentioned you to President Yang; he's always been very interested in you."

Chen Tianqiao's tone was clearly threatening; the subtext was, "President Yang, if you know you refused the banquet, he will definitely be unhappy."

Meanwhile, the internet moguls around him were unaware of the hidden meaning in those words; they only felt that Cheng Yi had found a powerful backer.

With Chen Tianqiao and Yang Yuanqing involved again, are they planning to take off?
Cheng Yi smiled and said, "No problem. I also admire President Yang a lot. I would be more than happy to meet President Yang."

"Hmm." Seeing Cheng Yi's youthful arrogance, Chen Tianqiao smiled happily.

At this moment, Yang Yuanqing came out accompanied by Li Xing and others.

As he walked, he said, "Besides the two people Huawei has internally selected, just take the top five of the other fresh graduates according to their ranking. Our chief technician's annual salary is 20."

"Okay." Li Xing nodded quickly.

Yang Yuanqing had just finished speaking when she saw Chen Tianqiao at the elevator entrance.

A smile immediately spread across his face as he said, "Oh, Chairman Chen, hello, hello."

Chen Tianqiao quickened his pace, grasped Yang Yuanqing's outstretched hand, and said with a smile, "President Yang, you're still as charming as ever."

"Chairman Chen is the same," Yang Yuanqing said with a smile. "Chairman Chen is making a fortune every day. In less than two years, the title of the richest man in China will definitely belong to Chairman Chen."

"How could I dare?" Chen Tianqiao laughed. "We've only benefited from the internet age. The real builders of the internet industry are our Lianxiang Group. Without your efforts to increase the number of personal PCs, even if we created games and websites, we wouldn't have any users. Don't you all agree?"

"Yeah yeah."

"When you drink water, don't forget the well-digger."

"Thank goodness for Lianxiang." Several internet giants echoed in agreement.

Yang Yuanqing was very pleased with Chen Tianqiao's compliment. He straightened his suit collar and said with a smile, "Accelerating the pace of internet development in China is also a glorious mission that our group bears."

Chen Tianqiao smiled and said, "President Yang, I've prepared some drinks on the top floor. We should have a drink at noon today."

“Chairman Chen, our Chairman Sun said…” Li Xing was about to speak when Chen Tianqiao’s face darkened and he said, “Just have your Chairman Sun come along.”

"Okay, alright." Li Xing immediately lowered his head, not daring to continue speaking.

Chen Tianqiao's status in Zhonghai City rose by one level every month. Although their Jinmao Tower had great power, it was no match for Chen Tianqiao, the king of cash.

If you really anger Chen Tianqiao, he might actually do something straight out of a movie: "Do you believe I can buy this building and make you pack your bags and get out?"

Yang Yuanqing was naturally very happy to receive Chen Tianqiao's invitation.

After all, people of different social classes play together. Even in a legendary game, a level 40 warrior won't play with a level 10 warrior. They're on different maps, so how can they play together?
Yang Yuanqing said, "Oh, right, I also invited Chairman Xing from Dazhong Software Group." "That's great! Our group also has some promotional business that we'd like to cooperate with Dazhong Software Group on in depth," Chen Tianqiao said with a smile. "I haven't seen Chairman Xing for two months, and I miss him a bit."

Chen Tianqiao turned around and said to Bao Yueqiao, "Mr. Bao, would you like to have a drink together?"

"Is it appropriate for me to go?" Bao Yueqiao asked rhetorically.

Chen Tianqiao laughed and said, "There's no such thing as suitable or unsuitable. Let's get together."

“Okay.” Bao Yueqiao agreed.

He couldn't have been happier to be able to attend such a grand event.

The size of a banquet is not determined by how good the food is or how large the scale is, but by how high the status of the guests is.

Popular Software Group owns the largest-circulation computer popularization magazine and programming youth training center in China.

Lianxiang Group is the largest IT manufacturer in China.

Shengda Group is the largest game company in China.

If they could cooperate with these three companies, Lianzhong Games could take off in no time.

As if he had just remembered Cheng Yi, Chen Tianqiao introduced him to Yang Yuanqing beside him: "President Yang, I forgot to introduce you. This is Cheng Yi, the vice president of Momo Group. He is also one of the founders of Momo Group."

"Momo Group?" Yang Yuanqing asked in confusion, "How come I've never heard of it?"

Yang Yuanqing had never heard of Momo Group; he had only heard of Momo Internet Cafe.

Chen Tianqiao immediately said, "Momo Group is the main company behind Momo Internet Cafe."

"Oh, so it's them." Yang Yuanqing's gaze instantly fell on Cheng Yi, sharp and confident.

Cheng Yi met Yang Yuanqing's gaze without the slightest hint of timidity, extended his hand, and said with a smile, "Hello, President Yang."

Yang Yuanqing did not shake hands with Cheng Yi. He glanced at Chen Tianqiao and asked, "Are you planning to invite him to the dinner?"

Chen Tianqiao smiled and said, "Yes."

"Is it appropriate for a vice president like him to attend our dinner party?" Yang Yuanqing asked directly in front of everyone.

This was exactly the effect Chen Tianqiao wanted. He quickly said, "President Yang, although Cheng Yi is young, he is quite capable. Many decisions at Momo Group have gone through his hands."

"Is that so?" Yang Yuanqing looked at Cheng Yi with a half-smile, a hint of disdain on her lips, and said, "If he wants to participate, then let him participate."

After Yang Yuanqing finished speaking, she walked into the elevator without even glancing at Cheng Yi.

Chen Tianqiao smiled and greeted Cheng Yi before entering the elevator, only gesturing for Luo Shengyi to stay behind.

Luo Shengyi was also quite unhappy. He really didn't understand why Cheng Yi would suddenly pull this stunt. Wasn't this just inviting humiliation?

He wasn't even qualified to attend such a dinner party.

If you're not of high enough status to attend such a dinner party, you'll just be treated like a clown.

"That's just how General Manager Yang is; he's rather aloof. Don't take it to heart," Bao Yueqiao quickly reassured Cheng Yi, afraid he might feel embarrassed.

Cheng Yi laughed and said, "How could I take it to heart? Being able to interact with these high-level big shots is something I would dream of."

Seeing that Cheng Yi didn't seem to care about what had just happened, Bao Yueqiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheng Yi is still a young man. Being humiliated like this by Yang Yuanqing in front of so many internet giants would have made any other young man lose his temper.

Bao Yueqiao asked in a low voice, "By the way, President Cheng, does your Momo Group have a conflict with Lianxiang Group? Even if President Yang is a bit arrogant, he shouldn't be so disrespectful to you."

"It's not really a conflict, just some minor friction, nothing serious," Cheng Yi replied with a bright smile.

Seeing that Cheng Yi could still smile, Luo Shengyi couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

He walked up to Cheng Yi and said, "Mr. Cheng, why don't we go upstairs first? The private rooms are all booked, so let's go and wait for them as soon as possible."

“Yes, yes, yes,” Bao Yueqiao said. “Let’s go over there first. We can’t keep General Manager Yang and the others waiting.”

"You guys go up first, I have other things to do," Cheng Yi refused.

Luo Shengyi looked at Cheng Yi with great dissatisfaction. He was about to say something to Cheng Yi when he suddenly thought that if Cheng Yi could arrive later, wouldn't that be more in line with Chairman Chen's expectations?

Thinking of this, Luo Shengyi stopped trying to persuade him and walked into the elevator with Bao Yueqiao, chatting and laughing.

As soon as Luo Shengyi and Bao Yueqiao left, Cheng Yi's eyes became eager.

He stared at the group of oddballs in front of him, his mouth practically agape in a grin.

In two or three years, these people will be powerful figures in the internet industry. It will be difficult for ordinary people to even meet them. But right now, they are just a bunch of fledglings learning to walk.

Young chicks need the most care and attention.

Normally, it would be difficult to gather these people together, but now, apart from Ma Huateng, Ma Yun, and Ding Sanshi, everyone else is present.

Open up!
Cheng Yi quickly took out his business cards and, with a smile, handed them out to everyone.

With the emotional groundwork laid by Chen Tianqiao and Yang Yuanqing, his act of handing out business cards immediately drew a positive response from the crowd.

Whether Yang Yuanqing praised or humiliated Cheng Yi, it first and foremost shows that Cheng Yi's strength was recognized by Yang Yuanqing.

Would an ordinary person be humiliated by Yang Yuanqing?

Impossible! That's impossible!

Cheng Yi handed out business cards to everyone and said with a smile, "Hello, seniors. First of all, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Cheng Yi, and I am the chairman of Xiaonei.com Technology. You may be unfamiliar with Xiaonei.com Technology. We are a subsidiary of Momo Group and are mainly responsible for the university campus market across the country. We have established computer labs in every university in the country, which can help you solve the problem of monetizing traffic."

"How do you plan to solve this?" Li Guoqing from Dangdang.com looked at Cheng Yi with some curiosity.

He had looked down on Cheng Yi yesterday, but now he realized that this young man was no ordinary person.

Cheng Yi smiled and said, "Our Momo Group has created a virtual currency called Momo Coin. The value of Momo Coin is one yuan = one coin. There are no discounts for recharging. If you want to cash out, you can connect your program or website to our system and open a deduction port for our system. In this way, your paid items can be listed, and our users can use Momo Coin to consume and purchase your virtual products. After that, we will settle the account with you."

"Isn't this just the same thing that China Mobile and China Unicom do?" someone questioned.

“Completely different.” Cheng Yi laughed: “China Mobile and China Unicom only provided you with a payment channel and took 50% of your profits. But we not only provided you with a payment channel, but also a huge user base. Just from the college student sector alone, that’s a consumption pool of nearly 100 billion yuan every year. Is it too much for us to take 30% of your profits?”

As soon as Cheng Yi uttered those words, everyone's eyes lit up with excitement.
