The Peninsula chaebol started by rescuing Samsung's little princess.

Li Haorong was surprised that Zhu Jun would be interested in these three social games.

The main business of 9City's website is online game distribution, which has absolutely nothing to do with this social game. Why would they want to make a social game?

Could it be that he wants The9 to transform into a social networking company?

What a joke, you know you don't have that ability, right?

However, social games are very easy to make and easy to copy. In fact, once a game is copied, it is difficult to seek justice through legal procedures!

In other words, if Zhu Jun plagiarized, then so be it, and Li Haorong can't do anything about it!

However, considering that he would be distributing Peninsula's games in the future, Zhu Jun couldn't afford to fall out with Li Haorong, so he decided to spend money to buy it!

Even so, it's hard to charge a price for these social games; they're like a chicken rib—tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw away!

If only one competitor would come forward with a quote!

Of course, thinking about this, Li Haorong laughed at himself. How could a competitor just appear out of nowhere?

"What are you thinking about?"

Just as Li Haorong was thinking, he suddenly felt a weight on him. He saw that Li Yinxin was only wearing a bathrobe, and her wet hair was still wet. She straddled him.

After dinner, Li Haorong and Li Yinxin checked into the England Suite, one of the nine famous suites in the Peace Hotel.

"Of course I'm thinking of you!"

Coming to his senses, Li Haorong, with such a beautiful view before him, naturally stopped thinking about these trivial matters and casually put his arm around her waist.

"I'd never believe you!"

Although Li Yinxin rolled her eyes, she still leaned closer.

Li Yinxin's experience is not much richer than that of rookie players like Li Juli. Besides knowing some basic skills and the rules of the game, she has another advantage: she is bold, not afraid of the stage, and dares to make moves.

Whether Li Haorong is driving to the basket from the high post or posting up in the low post, she can adapt to the game and apply what she learns to other situations.

Anyone who has played a game knows that if you're the only one playing aggressively on the court, you'll not only get tired, but it's also bad for the other players. You need to know how to cooperate!

Lee Yoon-hyung was clearly much better than Lee Ju-ri in this regard. Not only was she more aware and proactive, but she could also launch counter-attacks and create a high point in the game.

Only a competition experience like this can satisfy both sides.

This night is destined to be a sleepless one!

So, by the next day, Li Haorong couldn't shake off his drowsiness no matter what he did!

During the visit to Nine City Company, he kept yawning.

Fortunately, Nine City Company was smaller than Li Haorong had imagined, and like Mars Technology, it looked like a makeshift operation.

Jiucheng Company occupies only the entire 17th floor of No. 130 Wusong Road. The decoration of the entire company is very rough. Not only is the ceiling not finished, but the air conditioning pipes are exposed, and many offices are even empty.

At first glance, it's hard to imagine that this is an internet company with a market value of over $1 million.

Ultimately, this is just a small company that has been elevated to a position it doesn't deserve simply because it has climbed the social ladder by associating with World of Warcraft!

Therefore, after touring around The9, Li Haorong was even more reluctant to hand over the operation of the social game to The9; they simply didn't have the capability!

What's the use of good stats on paper if you're a secondary high-ranking player in a Chinese online game? You still need to actually get the Real Ring!

"KartRider officially launches its open beta today, and it looks like it'll surpass 50 concurrent players on the first day!"

Zhu Jun was clearly unaware of what Li Haorong was thinking, and was still showing off his family's achievements to Li Haorong!

To be honest, even Zhu Jun himself didn't expect such a casual game to become so popular!

The current online game market in China is completely dominated by World of Warcraft.

Other online game companies are trying to find other ways out, since there is currently no game on the market that can compare with World of Warcraft.

In this context, Zhu Jun launched "KartRider," which not only attracted Warcraft players but also non-Warcraft players, supplementing the company's business.

At this moment, Zhu Jun was in high spirits. He felt that he had already unified the online gaming world of the entire mainland and had no rivals.

In his view, if Li Haorong didn't sell the game to him, who else could he sell it to?

The open beta of "KartRider" was really nothing to see, and The9 was even less interesting. Li Haorong only stayed for a little over an hour before deciding to leave.

He hadn't slept well last night and was extremely tired. Zhu Jun seemed to notice Li Haorong's poor condition and couldn't help but think:

They're just young people, completely lacking in self-control, so unlike me back in my day!

And so, around noon, Li Haorong returned to the Peace Hotel.

However, as I was about to take the elevator back to my room from the hotel lobby, someone who had been waiting in the lobby for a long time suddenly came up to me.

"Hello, Chairman Li!"

"Who are you?"

The newcomer was a thin, refined-looking young man with glasses. He looked like he could take on three of them by himself, which is why Li Haorong didn't make a move immediately.

"My name is Huang Xitong, and I'm the Technical Director of the Penguin Space project at Tencent!"

The other person took out a business card and handed it to Li Haorong with slightly nervous hands.

Upon hearing that the other party was from Tencent, Li Haorong accepted the business card.

"Should we call bodyguards?"

Li Yinxin asked nervously as well.

"No need, you go up first!"

Although Li Yinxin didn't know what had happened, she still obediently left.

"Director Huang, is that what you need?"

"Chairman Lee's Chinese is indeed as good as the rumors say!"

"You came to see me just to compliment my Chinese?"

"Of course not, I wanted to ask if your three social games from Mars Technology are available for sale?"

Hearing this, Li Haorong was very surprised.

What? When did Tencent become so kind? Shouldn't it just copy directly?

However, Li Haorong was very excited. He had said that a competitor was coming, and they had actually come!

He said calmly, "Of course, shall we sit here and chat?"

Thank you so much!

Li Haorong and Huang Xitong sat together on the sofa in the hall.

The man in front of me, Huang Xitong, was a young man who seemed to be doing this for the first time and looked very nervous.

"Our company, Tencent, is currently the largest instant messaging company in China. Last year, we developed Penguin Space, which is somewhat similar to your MarsNet!"

I've found that your company's social games are very suitable for our space, so I'd like to purchase the Chinese distribution rights for these games!

Upon hearing Huang Xitong's explanation, Li Haorong understood.

The man in front of me, Huang Xitong, must be a new employee at Tencent and a technical talent. He probably doesn't understand Tencent's way of doing things, which is why he thought of using an agency.

Having understood this, Li Haorong immediately looked troubled and said:

"Well, that's a bit difficult. You should know that I came to China this time at the invitation of Mr. Zhu from Jiucheng!"

He also really wants to acquire the distribution rights for these social games!

But Mr. Zhu is my brother, my dearest friend and family!

Huang Xitong was truly naive. Hearing Li Haorong's words, he actually thought Li Haorong had rejected him, and his face immediately turned somewhat ugly as he said:

"Is...is this a refusal?"

"No, I mean, it has to cost more!"
