Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 534 This punch must be thrown!
“Of course, occasional competition is good, but don’t go too far,” Li Minghao said. “The Asian market is so big that even if we work with Momo Group, we can’t possibly capture all the market. We just need to find ways to attract their high-end customers. Besides, we’ve only done a one-month test this time, so it’s best not to have any conflicts with them for now.”

"Understood, please rest assured, Chief Lee." Kim Myung-cheol bowed even lower.

He personally experienced the struggle with Momo Group.

To be honest, he didn't want to go through that again.

He would call Momo Group a mad dog.

Samsung Group doesn't care about the revenue from games; they're more concerned with the bigger picture.

Momo Group is developing at an increasingly rapid pace, and it is beginning to show signs of becoming a leader in China's internet industry.

Microsoft's efforts to suppress Enze Capital are faltering, and Samsung Group is forced to step in to help.

Momo Group is Enze Capital's most successful investment, bar none.

Curbing the development momentum of Momo Group is tantamount to indirectly curbing the development momentum of Enze Capital.

Having recovered from its defeat against IBM, Samsung was already looking for ways to trip up Momo Group, only to see Momo Group storm into the Asian market.

The Asian market is Samsung's home turf.

It's raining again.

The continuous autumn rain in Jingzhou City seems to have never stopped.

On the projection screen of the top-floor conference room at Momo's headquarters, next to the familiar Dragon Slayer Sword logo on the Actoz Asia server website, two glaring small labels have been added.

Samsung Electronics, Payment Guarantee.

Kong Feng irritably ruffled his hair and couldn't help but say, "President Cheng, PayPal's ads in all major media outlets are deafening; they're practically pointing their fingers at us and calling Skrill Payment garbage."

Huang Wenrong picked up the thread and said, "PayPal's merchant credit rating, bank-level encryption, and global dispute arbitration mechanism are indeed miles ahead of Skrill. This is not just empty talk; it is a real trust barrier built with strength."

Tan Yankun, director of the group's think tank office, looked at Cheng Yi and said, "President Cheng, I suggest we hold back. The Asian market is huge. Even if there are ten more companies, let alone two, it would be enough. Let them develop first, lower their guard, and then give them a fatal blow when the right opportunity arises."

Tan Yankun is a representative dispatched by the Handong Provincial Political Affairs Association and serves as the director of the Momo Group Think Tank Office.

This so-called think tank is actually a stabilizing force sent by the Handong Provincial Political Affairs Association to handle all official disputes.

At other times, they also provide Momo Group with a lot of policy guidance.

Now that Momo Group wants to enter the field of government and enterprise procurement, they are moving at full speed.

In his previous life, Cheng Yi always thought these people were useless cowards who held positions without doing any work. But after getting to know them in this life, he finally understood what a true master was.

A skilled person goes into politics, while a novice goes into business.

Those who excel in business can become officials.

These people have vision, insight, and cunning that are unmatched by ordinary people. They can teach you a strategy that will make countless people cry with a smile, but most of the time, they keep a low profile and remain unassuming.

Cheng Yi, who was by the window, turned around, his face expressionless.

He didn't look at the curtain; his gaze swept over the core members present.

Yu Sen, Kong Feng, Lin Qingyin, and Chen Zhiquan all gathered together.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was somewhat oppressive.

No wonder there are so few people doing business; doing business really can't stop for a moment.

As long as your project is even slightly successful, a whole bunch of bastards will inevitably jump out to imitate and pay homage to you.

If the forces are evenly matched, everyone can get along peacefully, as Tan Yankun suggested. But if the forces are unequal, then this creative team is in danger.

"Director Tan's suggestion is indeed the best solution at present." Cheng Yi's voice was not loud. He first acknowledged Tan Yankun's suggestion, and then said, "However, I would like to try and see what happens with them."

Cheng Yi's words drew attention from many people.

Tan Yankun couldn't help but say, "President Cheng, a head-on confrontation is definitely not a wise move. If we show hostility from the start, it will be difficult to stab them in the back."

Cheng Yi nodded and said, "Actoz Group is backed by Samsung Group. This is clearly Samsung Group testing us. Even if we deal with Actoz Group, it won't make a difference. This is Samsung Group testing us, and we must show our attitude."

He walked to the conference table, placed his hands on the surface, leaned forward slightly, and looked down at everyone with an almost tangible gaze, saying, word by word, "In business warfare, there is never any reciprocity."

He said slowly, "We must throw this punch first, and we must throw it when they are most on guard! We must also make sure it hurts!"

Everyone was stunned.

Cheng Yi said, "Once Samsung gets involved, it's not something that can be resolved with a single blow. Although they are currently on very tight defenses, if we can't even handle them in this state, how can we talk about fighting against Samsung?"

Cheng Yi said, "So next, everyone should give me a comprehensive ground promotion plan based on their own area of ​​responsibility, whether it's public opinion, ground promotion, or player maintenance. I need detailed results. Today's small meeting is just to make one point clear: you don't need to consider the consequences or the impact."

"You all need to focus on just one thing: how to make the Legendary Asia server a success!" Cheng Yi's eyes were terrifyingly sharp.

"Yes," Kong Feng and the others immediately responded.

Cheng Yi said, "Okay, everyone except Teacher Yu Sen and Lin Qingyin, please leave the meeting room to prepare. I need to see the plan tomorrow morning."

"Yes!" The executives present immediately stood up and hurriedly left the conference room.

They had many concerns before, such as what if they offended Samsung if they retaliated.

Now, they don't need to worry about that anymore.

That made things much easier.

"Teacher Yu." After everyone left, Cheng Yi looked at Yu Sen and Lin Qingyin.

Yu Sen raised an eyebrow; he vaguely understood Cheng Yi's intention.

Over the past few years, he has come to know Cheng Yi's methods all too well; this guy has always been unpredictable.

Therefore, as long as you don't play by the rules, you can guess what Cheng Yi is planning to do.

Cheng Yi opened the slideshow, which contained a pre-drawn gateway connection diagram.

really……

Upon seeing this picture, Yu Sen confirmed his guess.

"Mr. Cheng, are we really going to do this?" Yu Sen's voice was somewhat low as he said, "Hacking PayPal is like stirring up a hornet's nest, and their security response team is no pushover; their tracing capabilities..."

"Who said we were going to touch PayPal?" Cheng Yi interrupted Yu Sen, his finger precisely pointing to an inconspicuous blue node on the slide.

Cheng Yi said, "Qingyin, you made this drawing, so you can explain it."

“Okay.” Lin Qingyin immediately stood up and said to Yu Sen, “Teacher Yu, this is a middleware system between the Actoz Legend Asia server cluster and the PayPal gateway, which is responsible for processing player recharge requests and converting data formats. Our success rate in hacking PayPal is only 31%, and even if we succeed in hacking, PayPal’s technical team can still recover it.”

"Samsung has used PayPal as a shield, so let's find the places it can't cover but that we absolutely have to touch."

Yu Sen's pupils suddenly contracted, and he said, "You mean bypassing PayPal and directly attacking Actoz's own recharge processing core?" Lin Qingyin nodded and said, "Yes, this middleware system was modified by Actoz to quickly integrate with PayPal, based on the old version of the Legend Private Server's recharge module. The code is outdated, and it uses the web."

Yu Sen nodded slowly and said, "It is indeed a very good entry point."

Seeing that Yu Sen understood, Cheng Yi immediately said, "Teacher Yu, I know you have always been very resistant to hacking attacks, but now we have to ask your team to come out of retirement. Qingyin only has the Dark Lance hacking team. They can handle the intrusion without any problem, but the cleanup work after the intrusion is over will require your assistance."

Yu Sen grinned and said, "I'm not against hacking attacks, I'm only against hacking attacks against domestic companies."

Cheng Yi smiled and said, "Then I'll leave this matter to Teacher Yu."

“No problem!” Yu Sen knew the seriousness of the matter, and he also knew that Cheng Yi had not made it very clear in the meeting.

The biggest reason why Cheng Yi planned to launch a heavy attack from the beginning was the existence of the Primordial Treasure Pavilion.

If Actoz Group were just opening a regular Legendary Asia server, Cheng Yi guaranteed he wouldn't bother with them, and might even help them out if he was in a good mood.

However, since the Actoz Group has become involved in the Baoge area, Cheng Yi cannot tolerate them.

One supplier is enough for this kind of thing.

If Actoz Group successfully launches its Legendary Asia server, many more companies will follow suit.

After all, once the treasure pavilion is opened, it's practically a treasure trove.

In Asia, Cheng Yi only allows one Baoge to exist.

Any other game that dares to venture into this field will be Momo Group's mortal enemy.

Let alone Samsung, even if Microsoft gets involved, they will have to fight with all their might.

Even if you lose, it can serve as a reminder to other companies that this field is not one you can just enter at will; you'd better assess your own capabilities before you do.

This intrusion is different from previous ones; it was conducted openly.

This was also the first time that Momo Group's technical team had faced off against an overseas IT giant.

Cheng Yi then discussed with them the specific approach. Cheng Yi was already proficient in hacking techniques, and his techniques were 20 years ahead of their time. His suggestions were very enlightening for Sen and Lin Qingyin.

After the three of them carefully reviewed the process and confirmed that everything was correct, Cheng Yi handed the matter over to Yu Sen and Lin Qingyin.

After explaining all this, Cheng Yi made a phone call to Chen Zhi and invited him to a private teahouse by the Qinhuai River.

Given the magnitude of this incident, Chen Zhi felt compelled to personally explain the details to Cheng Yi.

He had just arrived in Jingzhou when Momo Group had already received the news.

Actoz Group has clearly been planning this for a long time. Their teams in various countries have been operating in secret. Judging from the current scale of Actoz Group's publicity, they have been preparing for at least one or two months.

Actoz Group's ground sales campaign, like most companies' counterattacks, spread rapidly overnight, giving its competitors no time to react.

Accumulate but gain little.

This phrase is a golden rule in business.

Outside the window, the sound of oars and the glow of lanterns; inside, the fragrance of sandalwood wafts through the

Cheng Yi and Chen Zhi sat facing each other across an antique tea table.

The old narcissus tea in the purple clay teapot has a bright orange-red color and a mellow aroma.

"Cheng Yi, I think your move was too risky." Chen Zhi took a sip of tea, his brows still furrowed, and said, "Samsung isn't some small fry. If you provoke them, you might end up getting burned..."

Cheng Yi lifted the kettle and slowly poured boiling water into Chen Zhi's cup. The water flowed steadily and steamed.

"Chen Zhi, look at this teapot." Cheng Yi said calmly, "The water's boiling. Should we wait until it burns our hands before we get out of the way, or should we pick up the handle and pour it into the proper place?"

This analogy left Chen Zhi somewhat bewildered.

Cheng Yi continued, "Samsung's technical team has already assembled at Actoz headquarters, and PayPal's advertisements are everywhere. The knife is already at our throats. If we don't seize the initiative now, it will be too late to cry out in pain when they cut us down."

"Could we talk to them? We can try to be polite first, then resort to force." Chen Zhi still had a strong sense of chivalry, and he felt that Cheng Yi's act of launching a surprise attack could easily create a serious grudge.

Cheng Yi took a sip of tea and laughed, "We can't talk. You think Samsung is just trying to steal our gaming market? They want to use Actoz as a weapon to cripple our most profitable overseas business—Honghuang Treasure Pavilion."

"I already figured out the true purpose of the Primordial Treasure Pavilion, didn't I?"

Cheng Yi asked again.

Chen Zhi nodded and said, "Your Primordial Treasure Pavilion is truly innovative."

During this period, the revenue of the Primordial Treasure Pavilion alone has reached 9 million.

The Primordial Treasure Pavilion is now undoubtedly a cash cow for the Momo Group.

Cheng Yi said, "If there are two Baoge in Asia, players will have more choices. In this kind of industry, there is always a saying that two tigers cannot share one mountain. We must have a monopoly. If two companies enter the market, they will not benefit from a price war."

Chen Zhi remained silent, his eyes flickering.

Cheng Yi's words struck him like a heavy hammer.

He needs time to process this.

After a short while, Chen Zhicai asked, "What's the success rate?"

"It's a 50/50 chance," Cheng Yi said modestly. "Although Actoz is all show and no substance, Samsung's technical team is truly capable. We're going to strike when they're at their most arrogant and overconfident. We want everyone to understand that our power isn't something anyone can just flip over! Anyone who dares to reach out, I'll chop off their claws!"

Cheng Yi's ruthless words reminded Chen Zhi of the time when he fought with Cheng Yi.

At this moment, Chen Zhi was somewhat dazed.

If he hadn't come to Jingzhou City back then.

If he hadn't lost back then.

What will happen then?

Will I still be able to sit and chat with Cheng Yi over tea?

However, Chen Zhi quickly felt relieved.

There are no "what ifs," and even if there were, he certainly couldn't beat the guy in front of him.

This guy has absolutely no bottom line when it comes to doing things.

At that moment, Chen Zhi suddenly remembered a sentence his father had said.

The most terrifying opponent is one without moral constraints.
