Started as a comics editor

Chapter 209 So what if the big bully the small!
"how is the situation?"

That afternoon.

Nine Heavens Headquarters.

After signing several documents, Shen Lun looked up and asked a question.

Standing in front of him was a middle-aged man in a suit and tie.

His name is Yan Yun, and he serves as the Vice President of Jiuxiao, in charge of Jiuxiao Online Games Interactive Entertainment Business Unit. He is a senior executive of the entire group.

now.

He was waiting to the side, showing none of the imperious manner he had displayed in front of his subordinates just moments before.

After all, no matter how arrogant he was in front of others, as a professional manager, he was still humble in front of Shen Lun... or rather, not humble, but somewhat obsequious.

This might not be apparent from the surface or from the tone of voice.

But that's the feeling it gives off... it's very subtle.

In reality, we've all encountered people like this, but most of them are very bad at hiding it.

Yan Yun is the kind of person who hides it very well.

"...The other party did not continue to answer the phone."

Hearing Shen Lun's words.

Yan Yun paused for a moment, looking as if he was thinking carefully about how to start the conversation. After a while, he said, "When I first contacted the other party, although they didn't refuse outright, I could tell they weren't happy. They just didn't tell the truth because they were too proud to admit it."

"so……"

Shen Lun looked up from the documents and raised an eyebrow: "They're not happy?"

"I'm still following up. Should I contact them again?"

Yan Yun didn't give a definitive answer, but instead asked a question in return.

Shen Lun was about to say something more.

There was a knock on the door.

He frowned slightly and glanced at the door, then called out, "Please come in." A staff member hurriedly walked in, first apologizing to Shen Lun, then approaching Yan Yun and whispering a few words in his ear.

Yan Yun listened for a while, then waved for the staff to leave before casually saying, "President, I'm sorry, I told them to notify me immediately if there's any news."

Shen Lun remained silent, waiting for what would happen next.

Yan Yun didn't keep them in suspense and said directly, "The other party has blocked the contact person's phone number."

"Oh?"

Shen Lun was taken aback by what he heard, then slowly put down his pen, leaned back in his chair, and laughed: "You really are a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers."

"Yes."

Yan Yun laughed along with him, his smile mocking.

"If you don't want to, then you don't want to."

Shen Lun gently tapped the armrest: "How many mobile games does the Online Games and Interactive Entertainment Division have right now?"

Three types.

"What about something similar to FGO?"

Two models.

"..."

Shen Lun nodded, seemingly satisfied with the answer: "Then send the game to me. I'll play it first. I'd like to give the young man a chance, but if he's not willing to accept... then there's no need to talk about it."

Yan Yun: "Okay."

"..."

After speaking, Shen Lun thought for a moment and asked, "...Does the group also hold shares in the Wenxin Publishing House?"

"Forehead……"

Yan Yun hesitated, as if he wanted to speak.

Shen Lun realized something and waved his hand: "Go and call Liu Hai from the Strategic Investment Department over."

"it is good."

Upon hearing this, Yan Yun turned and left without hesitation.

After walking out the door.

The obsequiousness on his body vanished instantly, and he reverted to his usual arrogant demeanor.

The subordinate who had just gone in to report was standing at the door waiting. Upon seeing Yan Yun, he immediately went up to him: "President Yan, they've blocked us over there, so we're..."

"Since you can't even recognize yourself."

Yan Yun scoffed upon hearing this: "Then there's no need to continue contacting each other."

He found it really funny.

Do they really think a hit game can change anything?

It's worth noting that there used to be a saying in the venture capital world that any investment related to games required answering two questions: would Jiuxiao follow suit? And if so, how could you ensure you wouldn't be wiped out by Jiuxiao?
If you can't answer these two questions, no matter how well you do, it will all be for nothing in the end.

One can only imagine how terrifying the Nine Heavens are.

This is why Jiuxiao has recently shifted its development focus to overseas business, and has therefore become more restrained.

But how long has it been?

This company called Avalon seems to have lost sight of its own limitations. Now, with its overseas expansion faltering and a new blue ocean market for games about to be opened up in China, it's clear from Shen Lun's words that he's shifting his focus back to the domestic market.

How could they possibly let go of such a lucrative opportunity as mobile games?

Pioneers? Nothing at all!

Jiuxiao will show the other party what financial power is, and what it means to walk someone else's path and leave them with nowhere to go.

Bullying the weak? So what if you bully the weak!
Business is not a dinner party; it doesn't involve gentleness, kindness, respect, frugality, or humility.

originally.

If Avalon agrees to grant them complete control over their games on the Nine Heavens platform, including updating, renaming, and removing them, and they don't object, they might be able to make a living from it.

Now?

Just wait and you'll cry.

It'll be too late if they come begging to us!

Ungrateful and self-righteous!
……

Avalon.

Tang Yao was unaware that she had already been labeled as 'ungrateful' and 'self-righteous'.

She is writing the next part of the main storyline for FGO.

One or two collaborative events are fine.

In the long run, you won't make a lot of money, and it will also cause dissatisfaction among the original players.

So now that she has achieved her goal... she doesn't plan to collaborate with anyone else in the near future.

And the next update for FGO.

It will be the sixth singularity—Camelot, the realm of the Holy Round Table.

Starting from this chapter, the depth of FGO's storyline and the difficulty of the game will undergo a qualitative change.

...Did copying FGO leave FGO with nowhere to go?

This makes it sound like no one copied FGO in Tang Yao's previous life... The uncle who distributes FGO has even listed the website, and global revenue is constantly rising. Who doesn't know that this game is profitable?

Did no one think of imitating it back then?

Of course there are.

However, in the end, none of them fared well.

Not to mention, FGO here has already passed its power-building phase and is about to unleash its power.

unless.

Jiuxiao, summon Nasu Kinoko now! And have him write the story for your game!
Otherwise, Tang Yao wouldn't be afraid of any imitations.

Moreover... Avalon's next main game isn't FGO at all!

The sound of typing on the keyboard continued.

More than half an hour later.

Tang Yao finished writing another paragraph, then took her hands off the keyboard and stretched her body slightly.

Then... she noticed the camera above the screen, scratched her cheek lightly, and moved the camera aside.

Yesterday, Kangming told her that the live streaming software they talked about before the Lunar New Year was finally set up, and asked her to try it out. Then he installed a webcam on her computer.

However, Tang Yao hasn't tried it yet; she's still mentally preparing herself... because she feels a little embarrassed.

She hadn't faced so many viewers yet as Tang Yao; before, it was all through videos.

Even though I'm wearing a suit... just thinking about having to act all arrogant in front of so many viewers is terrifying.

Yes.

Tang Yao is about to start her live stream...

Although we are not afraid of Jiuxiao bullying the weak, it would be foolish not to make any preparations.

Yesterday she talked with Li Xue, and then went back and thought about it carefully, and felt that she should still make the most of Avalon's current advantages.

She plans to take advantage of the current high level of interest in the collaboration event and, once the first batch of collaboration games is confirmed in a couple of days, hold a pre-event live stream.

Um... mainly promoting those games that are jointly operated.

At the same time, we should see the results and see if there is room for optimization and improvement, in order to prepare for the next promotion of "Doupai"... no, I mean, the promotion of "Hearthstone".

just.

Tang Yao's idea was quite good, but actually sitting in front of the camera... she felt completely out of place.

I really want to give up...

Tang Yao was mentally preparing herself as she looked at the camera that had been turned to the side.

"Tang Yao."

Li Xue's voice rang out, coming closer as she spoke, sounding somewhat anxious: "It seems the other side has made a move."

"what?"

Tang Yao was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, and it took her a while to realize what Li Xue was talking about before asking, "Who? Jiu Xiao?"

"Ah."

Li Xue walked up to Tang Yao, pulled out a chair and sat down, saying with a serious expression, "An investor just told me this."
