Don't get married if you're reborn.

Chapter 322 Keeping the Project at Fengyuan

Zeng Wenjie then gave Tony Ma a general overview of the game.

The other party then thought of making money by releasing skins.

It's no wonder they make so much money from games...

Sure enough, to make money from games, you have to throw your conscience aside and open up various recharge channels so that people can become stronger by spending money!

The gaming environment in China is really terrible, especially in a few years, it will basically be all pay-to-win games.

It wasn't until Steam came into the view of a wide range of gamers that people realized there were so many fun games in the world that didn't require spending money...

Tony Ma kept simulating the card game "Hero Kill" that Zeng Wenjie had mentioned in his mind, and then exclaimed, "President Zeng is indeed full of ingenuity. Whether it's Happy Landlords or "Hero Kill", once they are launched, they will definitely attract more players to the Penguin Games Hall."

The game "Three Kingdoms Kill" hasn't been released yet, but it seems there's already a card version that's popular on a small scale offline.

Now it's 2007, and launching this kind of role-playing competitive card game could sweep the entire game market and gain a large number of die-hard fans.

After all, these kinds of games are simple and easy to understand, and most importantly, they are fun enough that you don't need to spend money to become stronger, so they have a very wide audience.

Humans have a unique fondness for card games. For example, Yu-Gi-Oh!, a group of card players saved the world by playing cards, which became incredibly popular and sold its copyrights for a fortune. Then there's Gwent in The Witcher 3, which was even separated from the game and used to hold tournaments. And Sanguosha needs no introduction, with 60 million players and a huge hit across the country.

"Mr. Ma, you're too kind. I just have some free time and I like playing games, so I often daydream. When I come up with a good idea, I write it down," Zeng Wenjie said with a smile.

“I think the game ‘Hero Kill’ is feasible, and as Mr. Zeng said, it’s simple to develop. As agreed, we’ll keep this project at Fengyuan, and I’ll send management personnel from the company’s game department to help with any technical issues,” Tony said.

“Okay! Then… shall we draft a contract?” Zeng Wenjie said.

Tony said, "I'll call the legal department later and have them draft the contract and send it over. If Mr. Zeng doesn't think it's appropriate, we can discuss it further."

Zeng Wenjie said, "Okay! Then let's have a pleasant cooperation."

He extended his hand, which Tony Ma grasped, shook it twice, and said, "It's a pleasure doing business with you!"

At first, Tony was somewhat dismissive of Fengyuan's visit, but after talking with Zeng Wenjie, he realized that this young man was no ordinary person.

The creation of a top-tier music variety show like "The Voice of China" wasn't just a fluke; the team had real talent!

Tencent Games Hall has always had poor monetization capabilities, and after talking with Zeng Wenjie, Tony Ma was overjoyed!

Here comes the monetization potential of the game lobby!

After the two made a verbal agreement, they ended their conversation, opened the door to conference room 209, and saw many school leaders and campus reporters standing in the corridor outside.

"Director, could you please have the campus reporters take a few photos of me and Mr. Ma?" Zeng Wenjie said.

"Okay!" The head of the publicity department nodded with a serious expression.

He also felt that this reality was somewhat magical. Zeng Wenjie's business was doing well, but no one expected that Tony Ma from Penguin would actually come to the school to visit him in person!

That's outrageous... Tony Ma received real benefits from Zeng Wenjie, so he was naturally willing to cooperate with Zeng Wenjie by taking a few photos, letting him use Zeng Wenjie's influence to his advantage.

Moreover, Tony Ma is quite refined and easy-going; you don't see any of that kind of person who would use a whip to force you to spend money to become stronger.

Tony said, "I'll come to Fengyuan again tomorrow to sign the contract with President Zeng. Hmm... when would be a good time to start the 'Hero Kill' project?"

It's already mid-January, and in a few days the Fengyuan Academy will be on holiday, and the end of the year is approaching.

"Let's begin after the New Year. Leave the preliminary preparations to me. Mr. Ma can send someone to supervise the project after the New Year," Zeng Wenjie said.

“Okay, see you tomorrow!” Tony Ma smiled.

"Okay!" Zeng Wenjie and a group of school leaders saw Tony Ma off downstairs.

Downstairs, a low-key minivan was waiting. Tony Ma shook hands with Zeng Wenjie and Principal Gao before getting into the car and leaving.

After everyone left, Zeng Wenjie slowly exhaled a long breath.

In just one afternoon, they managed to establish a partnership with a giant like Tencent. That's incredibly impressive!

He will not only receive attention in the variety show field, but the internet industry will also pay special attention to him.

Principal Gao couldn't help but ask, "Zeng, what did you talk about with President Ma? Did you reach any cooperation agreements?"

Zeng Wenjie laughed and said, "Mr. Ma was worried about the development and monetization of Penguin Games Hall. I gave him some ideas, and then he invited me to develop games with Penguin."

The school leaders were shocked!

"I made a deal with him: this project will stay with our Fengyuan Institute and be developed by our people. He can just send his own staff to supervise it," Zeng Wenjie said calmly.

But as soon as he said that, the scene erupted in excitement.

Principal Gao grabbed his shoulder and asked, "You mean Mr. Ma agreed to your conditions and let our Feng Shui Academy develop this game?!"

Zeng Wenjie nodded and said, "That's right, Professor Gao. Um, could you please find me a few outstanding senior students majoring in fine arts and computer science? We'll start working on it after the New Year!"

“Okay!” Principal Gao immediately agreed, as if afraid that Zeng Wenjie would change his mind.

The more he looked at the young man, the more pleasing he became. Before, he thought it was a bit shameless for the young man to fawn over Zhuang Aimin and call him "Teacher Gao," but now, those three words sounded incredibly comforting to him!

He didn't forget to give back to Fengyuan after being nurtured by them!
If this gets back to Chongqing University, I wonder if those guys will be so angry they'll die.
Zeng Wenjie had just won the provincial Top Ten Outstanding Youth Award, and the university president's boasting infuriated the leaders of Chongqing University. This time, he secured a Tencent project for the School of Mathematical Sciences...

“Xiao Zeng, your contribution to the school is truly significant! However, this is a project that Mr. Ma asked you to undertake. If you leave the project at Fengyuan, won’t that delay Mr. Ma’s business?” Principal Gao asked.

Although he didn't understand games, he knew that the students at Fengyuan Academy weren't skilled enough and was worried about making things difficult.

Zeng Wenjie smiled and said, "It's just a very simple game, Teacher Gao, you don't need to worry. As long as your professional skills are up to par, you can definitely make it without any delays."

What high-tech content can a card game like "Hero Kill" possibly have?
