Rebirth Must Be Happy

"..."

After Xu Jinhuan finished his rambling, he noticed that the other three people were all silent. So he coughed and said, "I said all this mainly because I was afraid Brother Yang wouldn't believe me."

"Mr. Xu is joking."

Dong Ruiyang changed his form of address and laughed, "I'm penniless and have nothing to scheming for. I wonder what brings President Xu to see me today?"

"I've heard some things about Brother Yang, and I greatly admire his character and abilities."

Xu Jinhuan first flattered, "These days, it's easy to find capable people, especially in a place like Beijing. To be honest, no matter what position you're in, you can just grab someone off the street and train them for a while, and they might not do any worse than the people in the current positions. The most valuable thing is character, which is what I value most."

Before Dong Ruiyang could speak, he continued, "I'm coming to Beijing to study, and I'll be registering a new company here. This will be the company headquarters, where we'll be developing a new game. If it's successful, within three years at most, this game will generate at least several billion in monthly revenue..."

Dong Ruiyang initially thought he was quite sincere, but upon hearing his last two sentences, he subconsciously frowned, somewhat suspecting that the kid was trying to fool him.

Xu Jinhuan knew him very well and could naturally see what the other party was thinking. He smiled and said, "I know this sounds a bit exaggerated now, but things can be done by human effort... Does Brother Yang play computer games? Have you ever played League of Legends?"

Dong Ruiyang nodded.

Xu Jinhuan said, "What I want to do is to make a mobile version of League of Legends. This may have copyright issues, so I will go to Tencent for investment in a few days and cooperate with them."

Dong Ruiyang was skeptical and asked, "Will Tencent agree?"

“Last August, when I was participating in the Youth Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition, Tencent’s investment department contacted me once. At that time, they wanted to invest in the game ‘Flappy Bird’, but I refused. Before the Spring Festival this year, Tencent contacted me again, wanting to invest in ‘Subway Surfers’. In the end, they offered 3800 million yuan to buy 50% of the shares, but I refused again.”

Xu Jinhuan presented the facts and reasoned with no intention of showing off. "As the saying goes, things shouldn't happen more than three times. If you refuse twice in a row, it would be a bit disrespectful to refuse a third time. I don't want to be enemies with Tencent, so I will take the initiative to go to them in a few days... If Yang-ge is free, you can come with me."

"..."

Dong Ruiyang was completely unprepared and a little bewildered, but fortunately he hadn't lost his ability to think. He said, "I've never made games, and I don't know anything about software development. Mr. Xu asked me... what can I do?"

"Company operations."

Xu Jinhuan knew, of course, that Dong Ruiyang didn't understand games, and laughed, "There's another partner in charge of the game aspect, my girlfriend's cousin, a graduate of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. He's basically in charge of the development and operation of Subway Surfers. He'll be coming to Beijing next month at the latest to take charge of the development of the new game, and of course, there's me too."

Chen Qiaoqiao hesitated, and Xu Jinhuan noticed, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, you want to ask what kind of treatment Yang Ge will receive, right?"

He explained, “I will register the company in a couple of days. The registered capital is tentatively set at 100 million yuan, which I will personally bear. As for the shares, I promised my cousin that I would give him 5% of the shares. I will have 5% in the Hangzhou branch and 5% in the Beijing branch. If Yang comes, he will get 10% of the shares plus a monthly salary of 2 yuan. His salary will continue to increase in the future.”

Chen Qiaoqiao and Dong Ruiyang exchanged glances, looking at each other in bewilderment. It wasn't that the treatment was too bad, but rather that it was too good.

Dong Ruiyang did earn a high salary a few years ago, sometimes over 100,000 yuan a month, but he felt uncomfortable with that money and eventually resigned. In the past two years, he partnered with someone to start a company, but it didn't work out. Not long after he got married last year, the company went bankrupt, so he went to work for a friend's company, where he now earns only about 20,000 yuan a month.

Xu Jinhuan, on the other hand, not only guaranteed that his salary would not be reduced, but also gave him 10% of the shares for free.

Xu Jinhuan had just recounted his glorious achievements, which they might have thought were a bit pretentious, but those reports and data couldn't possibly be fabricated.

Moreover, Xu Jinhuan's two consecutive games became huge hits, and with the backing of Tencent's investment, it can be said that Xu Jinhuan's entrepreneurial success rate is extremely high.

This 10% stake is completely incomparable to the shares Dong Ruiyang acquired when he started his business, regardless of their value or significance. One is real, the other is virtual; one is valuable, the other is worthless.

"By the way, once the company is established, the shares will be diluted very quickly."

Xu Jinhuan pointed to Chen Xingzhu next to him, "My girlfriend's family will give her a start-up fund, which she plans to invest in our company. How much... uh, how much?"

The last question was directed at Chen Xingzhu.

Chen Xingzhu looked at him and said, "My dad said the maximum is 5000 million."

"so much?"

This time, not only Dong Ruiyang and Chen Qiaoqiao were surprised, but Xu Jinhuan was also a little surprised. He laughed and said, "You don't have to give me all of it. Keep some for yourself."

Chen Xingzhu shook her head and smiled faintly: "I have no use for it."

"This……"

Xu Jinhuan coughed, "You're making me look a bit inhuman."

Since the company hasn't been registered yet, he actually has another option: to have Chen Xingzhu join as a partner in the startup. Even though he didn't know the exact amount before, he roughly judged that Chen Guiliang was not short of money or vision, and would invest a lot.

In this way, if Chen Xingzhu really joins as a partner in the startup, the shareholding cannot be arranged, which would be too unbalanced.

"We'll talk about this later." It wasn't appropriate to discuss this at Dong Ruiyang's house, so Xu Jinhuan stopped there for the moment and said to Dong Ruiyang, "That's about the situation. Brother Yang, you can think about it first. Let's add each other as friends. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions."

Dong Ruiyang pondered for a moment and said, "I only have one question."

He looked at Xu Jinhuan and asked, "You're not short of money or manpower, so why did you approach me with such good treatment and such a good opportunity?"

"...To be honest, although it might sound a bit far-fetched."

Xu Jinhuan thought for a moment, then chuckled, "As I just said, I was asked to do this. Brother Yang may have unintentionally helped someone before. I owed someone a favor in the past, and that person recommended Brother Yang. Brother Yang, consider this my way of repaying that debt."

"..."

This is indeed a bit too far-fetched. Dong Ruiyang thought hard for a long time but couldn't remember who he had helped. Just as he was about to ask again, Xu Jinhuan said, "I promised to keep it a secret. Brother Yang, don't ask me who he is. Maybe you will meet him in the future."

"...Let me think about it."

Dong Ruiyang still couldn't fully trust him. After a few seconds of contemplation, he said, "I am very grateful for Mr. Xu's high regard and understand his sincerity. This offer is very generous, but it is indeed a bit sudden. I will definitely give you an answer as soon as possible."

"Okay, no rush, I still need to find a house and an office."

Xu Jinhuan said goodbye, took Chen Xingzhu's hand and left. After watching the two of them enter the elevator, Dong Ruiyang went home with Chen Qiaoqiao.

Have you ever helped anyone?

Seeing that he had closed the door, Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help but ask, "Did you save someone's life?"

"If I had truly saved someone's life, would I hide it from you?"

Dong Ruiyang didn't think his wife was exaggerating. He even doubted whether she had saved someone's life or at least changed their fate with such conditions. "I've been bragging about it... but I really didn't... sigh!"

He suddenly remembered: "When I was a child, it rained heavily at my house, and the river swelled up. I saw a dog fall into the water, and it was a female dog. Their genitals were still inside each other, and they weren't separated even after falling into the water... I grabbed a branch from the bank and rescued the two dogs..."

"Then it couldn't be that the dog asked this Mr. Xu to repay a debt of gratitude, could it?"

Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help but chuckle, "What are you thinking about?"

"The key is that I haven't done anything else good."

Dong Ruiyang was completely baffled. "I don't consider myself a good person. I can't even swim. If I saw someone fall into the water, I wouldn't dare to save them. What if I died myself? At most, I just try not to harm others. I don't have the ability to save people..."

"Forget it, don't think about it anymore."

Chen Qiaoqiao sighed, then smiled and advised, "I can tell you've been under a lot of work pressure lately. This Mr. Xu, although young, seems quite capable and sentimental. He doesn't seem like a conman. Maybe this is your chance to rise to the top..."

"let me think again."

Dong Ruiyang was still a little uneasy. "I feel like he's here to give me money... I didn't save his life, so why is he being so nice to me?"

Chen Qiaoqiao said, "I'll go online and check if what he said is true."

Dong Ruiyang laughed and said, "That can't be faked, otherwise people wouldn't say it."

Even so, he still went online with his wife to check it out, and what he found shocked him.

This Mr. Xu wasn't lying; the Peking University admission, game revenue, and operational data were all true. Moreover, he was actually a Weibo influencer with over 800,000 followers and had interacted with many celebrities, including CCTV hosts and reporters.

However, at least half of these interactions involve arguing...
-
"From Yang Ge's and his friend's perspective, doesn't this seem like a plot where the protagonist gets lucky?"

Inside the elevator, Xu Jinhuan smiled and said to Chen Xingzhu, "And it's also quite suspenseful..."

"Hehe~"

Chen Xingzhu gave him a forced smile, as if to match his lame joke, and then asked curiously, "Are you really being asked to do this?"

"I would never lie to you, unless it's to swindle money or sex..."

The little girl's fake smile was unexpectedly cute, and Xu Jinhuan couldn't help but hug her and try to kiss her. Chen Xingzhu quickly leaned back to avoid him, covered his mouth with her hand, and said shyly, "There are surveillance cameras in the elevator."

"Okay, let's kiss somewhere where there are no security cameras."

Xu Jinhuan sighed, took her hand again, and put his arm around her slender waist. Chen Xingzhu was a little shy, but she didn't resist, letting him lead her out of the elevator. They kissed again in the car. (End of Chapter)
