You said you were going to make games, how did you become the richest man without doing anything?

Chapter 173 Chairman, the problem is a bit big (Please order)

"Boss Simulator" is one of the new flagship games that Youyi has invested heavily in this year, but its reputation since its launch has been poor, and the number of online users has been declining, having dropped by half from the 30 when it was first launched.

However, the revenue performance of Youyi's other business lines did not show any significant growth.

The performance report also mentioned that the abnormal decline in online data may be related to the various public opinion whirlpools that Youyi has recently been caught up in.

Liu Lan frowned slightly. The interactive entertainment business group is a chess game. The performance of the gaming business is likely to affect the investment bank analysts' ratings of film, television, gaming, literature and other businesses as well as the market's confidence.

In the online data of platform-operated games provided by Youyi, Liu Lan was surprised to find that
The data performance of the Taoyuan Township company where my daughter works has suddenly improved.

The new game "Free and Easy Talking Life" has been rising from 10 concurrent online users when it was first launched, and is now approaching the 55 concurrent online mark, entering the 17th place in the MMO online rankings of the Youyi platform.

The number of people online at the same time for "My Leisurely Island Owner Life" also exceeded 35.

After a brief pause, she opened her laptop and began a brief trial of her mouth cannon life.

Because she was very curious about what kind of games her daughter played.

Soon, she came to the point where Yanagishita Igarashi sent special forces from Shenyi Company to hunt down Marilyn Mengyuan.

When she saw Yanagishita Igarashi appear in the game, she felt a hint of surprise in her beautiful eyes.
This female character looks like me.

I never expected that my daughter would actually put herself into the game?
However, curiosity still drove her to continue playing.
The game camera quickly gave a close-up of Igarashi in the office. The chairman, wearing a black silk skirt, walked with a cat-like gait, looking extremely sexy and astringent. A bunch of players shouted "Mom" in the interactive barrage of the cutscene.

The aura around her suddenly became extremely cold!
However, seeing Igarashi's stunning beauty under the blessing of game art,

In her majestic eyes, a hint of subtle shyness appeared.

Although her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

……

At this moment, a rapid beeping sound interrupted her thoughts.

Liu Lan calmly turned off the game, picked up the remote control and turned on the huge display screen on the office wall.

An antique mansion appeared on the screen, and an old man in a robe was sitting on a mahogany chair.

He has gray hair and a kind face, revealing wisdom and calmness.

He is Liu Lan's grandfather, Liu Xiaodong, the current head of the Liu family.

At the tables on both sides of the old man were uncles, who were also members of the group’s board of directors.

Liu Xiaodong took a sip of tea and said, "Lan'er, how has the group been doing in recent months?"

Liu Lan gave a report respectfully:

"Grandpa, uncles, each of the group's business lines has good news, and the Nasdaq and Hong Kong stocks are showing encouraging growth. The group's market capitalization has exceeded 6000 billion."

Liu Xiaodong stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction:

"You did a great job and lived up to our expectations."

He immediately changed the subject:
"Where's my lovely great-granddaughter? I haven't seen her for a long time."

Liu Lan sighed:
"Yuanyuan is a very naughty child. She ran away from home and joined a startup.

However, don't worry about your safety, I've already sent Wang Su to follow you."

An old man with white hair and a youthful face, leaning on a cane, stroked his beard and jokingly said:
"Hey, running away from home?
They say daughters take after their fathers, and Pei Yu's daughter is indeed wild and has had a wild temper since she was young."

Liu Xiaodong also stroked his gray beard:
"Haha, a girl can't be kept at home when she grows up. It's good to let her go out and gain some experience. If she needs to fall in love, then she can fall in love.

If she really doesn't have a satisfactory partner, her family will arrange a blind date for her when she turns 30."

Liu Lan took the initiative to say:

"Yuanyuan's lifelong event, I think, should not be treated lightly."

On the screen, an uncle or elder on the board of directors nodded and said:
“Indeed, a good match is the best.

To be honest, nowadays, if some small bosses with annual revenue of over 100 million yuan take a fancy to our Yuanyuan, I would not be happy.

Although some people are quite successful from the perspective of ordinary people, the social status and wealth of the families behind them are quite different from that of the Liu family, and they may not be happy after marriage.

I still hope that Yuanyuan can marry into a more traditional family of comparable social status to ours."

Liu Xiaodong laughed:
"You old guys, a good match? What era is this?

For example, the eldest princess of the Samsung Group next door married a security guard.

The uncle and elder immediately retorted:
"Samsung has a younger son who will inherit the family business, but our Liu family only has Yuanyuan as its only son.

Besides, are you really willing to let your precious great-granddaughter marry a security guard?"

Liu Xiaodong stroked his beard and sighed, "I'm just giving you an example. Besides, although I love Yuanyuan very much, are you really confident in handing over this large group to her in the future?"

When he said this, the faces of the other board members suddenly darkened.

I'm afraid it will go bankrupt completely in just a few months.

After a while, everyone came to a unanimous conclusion: "Let's find a professional manager to take care of it."

Liu Xiaodong finally said:

"In short, Lan'er, Yuanyuan has grown up. Don't be too restrictive with her in matters of the heart.

Back then, we old bones tried to persuade you so many times, but in the end, you still married that brat Pei Yu without hesitation?

As for the game of starting a business and playing house, Yuanyuan has always had a low level of comprehension, so I don't think she'll be able to stir up any big waves. Let her come back when she's had enough. I miss her too."

Then, the image on the screen disappeared.

Liu Lan's expression returned to calm.

She walked to the window, lit a cigarette, and let the smoke waft into the air.

"Grandpa, it's because I've suffered at the hands of wild men that I don't want my daughter to make the same mistake."

After thinking for a moment, she took out a sachet from her pocket. On one side was embroidered the word "Liu" and on the other side was embroidered the word "Pei".

The figure of a man appeared in her eyes.

With his slender figure, long flowing hair that has an artistic atmosphere, a look of slight melancholy in his eyes, and a perpetually unshaven beard, it was this playboy who stole her young heart.

The Pei family and the Liu family have been at odds over business for many years. The elders originally disagreed, but she still insisted.
Although he got married as he wished, fourteen years ago, the man left home again.
"Wait for me, I will definitely find him and save our family."

However, after saying this, there was no news of him since then, and his life or death is unknown.

"Oh, man..."

Thinking of this, Liu Lan put out the cigarette butt forcefully.

Seeing that Liu Mengyuan was becoming more and more like her father, with his inherited abstract, gluttonous and running away from home characteristics, she rubbed her brows with a headache.

……

Not long after, Shi Yi rushed to Shenzhou to report his work to Liu Lan.

"Manager Shi, I heard from Wang Su and the group's public relations department that you've really brought a lot of surprises to the company recently."

Shi Yi nervously wiped the sweat from his forehead and said earnestly:

"Chairman, these things were done by a department manager named Zou Zhongtian, and I dealt with him immediately.

Afterwards, I will seriously reflect on this and strengthen the team’s personnel management.”

Liu Lan sneered and remained silent.

She did not intend to hold Shi Yi accountable for his leadership. After all, his influence in Youyi was deeply intertwined, and it would be easy to cause serious damage if she touched him.

She said:
"I'm going to give you a task. I heard that you and the Taoyuan Township company had a conflict before.
After that, you need to use Youyi’s resources to find ways to acquire and merge.

You don't have to be shy about anything, just go for it.

So, please share your thoughts on the specific implementation."

Liu Lan planned to find a way to acquire Taoyuan Township directly, so that the stinky girl would calm down and return to the group obediently.
But if I buy directly, I am worried that Mr. Lu will not agree or ask for too much, so I will blunt his edge first and then take advantage of the opportunity.

This has also been the consistent acquisition strategy of the Liu Group over the years.

After hearing this, Shi Yi was overjoyed.

Unexpectedly, instead of holding him accountable, the chairman gave him a legitimate reason to fight back against Taoyuan Township.

"Chairman, I will check and balance the other party from three aspects: game platform, game engine, and headhunting.

First, the Youyi platform will remove all Taoyuanxiang games. Of course, to avoid panic among other developers, I will fabricate some legitimate reasons, such as the presence of indecent lines in the game that do not comply with platform policies, etc. Don't worry, we are professionals."

Liu Lan interrupted:
“What if Taoyuan Township chooses to list on a competitor’s platform?”

Shi Yi shook his head and said:
"Tenghui's ME-GAME platform has a market share of less than 20%, and Tenghui takes a very high commission from developers, reaching 40%.

Not to mention that Tenghui has had conflicts with Taoyuan Township before, even if Tenghui allows Taoyuan Township's games to be registered, Taoyuan Township's revenue will drop sharply, and may not be able to cover its R&D investment, and it can only survive. "

Liu Lan nodded slightly, motioning him to continue.

"Secondly, Youyi Workshop will withdraw its engine technical support for Taoyuanxiang's games. Much of their game's underlying code is based on off-the-shelf components purchased from Youyi Workshop. Withdrawing support will cause enormous chaos for their game development.

I don't think their team has the scale and technology to create an engine better than Youyi Workshop from scratch.

Thirdly, Taoyuan Township is just a small start-up company, and many of its employees are employees eliminated by Youyi or idle people in society. To deal with them, you only need to lure them with benefits to completely drain their company.

I don’t think Taoyuan Township’s current financial resources can defeat us in the war for talent.”

Liu Lan nodded with satisfaction:

"Very good. I will ask the group's human resources director to arrange a professional headhunter to assist you in your work.

I have only one goal for you: to have the group acquire and control Taoyuan Township as soon as possible."

……

After coming out of Liu Lan's office, Shi Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

This was truly a silver lining. Not only did Liu Lan not pursue him, but he also removed his restraints, allowing him to deal with Taoyuan Township more openly.

Although I don't know why the chairman, who is so busy with all kinds of affairs, would pay special attention to a small game company,

However, the feud between us and Taoyuan Township was finally settled.

In fact, Shi Yi looked back at the last round of confrontation with Taoyuan Township and found that Mr. Lu was not a simple person.
Perhaps, every step from the project's initiation was part of Mr. Lu's plan.

And his seemingly lazy behavior must be a deception!
I have to admit that I really underestimated this man.

This time, he will definitely not underestimate the enemy!
……

Shortly after Shi Yi left, Liu Lan called Wang Su into the office again.

"How is the young lady's safety recently?" Liu Lan lit another cigarette for herself.

Wang Su hesitated for a moment and said with difficulty:

"Chairman, after the graduation ceremony, the eldest lady tried to escape our sight by using a trick, but we quickly found the house she rented."

Liu Lan curled her lips: "Oh, she really takes after her father. It's okay, it's not a big problem."

Wang Su hesitated again and again, and finally made up his mind and gritted his teeth and said:

"No, Chairman, the problem... is a bit big.

The eldest lady... doesn't live alone.

All of this is my fault for not being able to supervise properly. Please forgive me, Chairman!"

She said, handing over a photo.

In the photo, through the window you can see Lu Yu and Liu Mengyuan lying on the sofa in the living room watching TV.
Judging from the surrounding furniture, this is a scene of a young couple living together.

Liu Mengyuan was using the remote control to change channels, and her beautiful pair of black silk legs rested naturally on Lu Yu's legs.

pat!

The moment Liu Lan saw the photo, the cigarette in his hand fell to the ground.
