My son is a reincarnated soul; I overheard his inner thoughts and became the richest man.

Once the publicity plan was finalized, Chen Feng acted like a hands-off manager, leaving all the specific execution to Su Qing.

Even Lin Wan was conscripted to use her connections in the electronics industry to contact major portal websites to negotiate job openings.

In the afternoon, as the sun set, it gilded the Bund with a golden hue.

There was a gentle knock on the office door, and Su Qing pushed it open and entered.

She had just returned from running errands, her forehead covered in fine beads of sweat, and a few strands of hair clinging to her fair neck.

"Mr. Chen."

Su Qing walked to the table, slightly out of breath, and a faint fragrance mixed with sweat and perfume wafted towards her.

"What's wrong? Did you run into a wall?"

Chen Feng put down the report in his hand and his gaze swept over her chest, which was trembling due to her rapid breathing.

"Hmm...I guess so."

Su Qing straightened her skirt with a hint of helplessness and sat down. "I just contacted Tencent's business department, and it seems they're quite interested in our GG fee."

"However, the other party is also hesitant."

"They said that OICQ's current interface is very simple, with only the friend list and chat box, and there's simply no room for GG. They're worried that forcibly integrating it will ruin the user experience and lead to user churn."

They said they would need to hold an internal meeting to discuss it and would give a reply in a few days.

"Do you think the interface is too small?"

Chen Feng tapped his fingers lightly on the table, lost in thought. "Alright, I understand. Since they need to consider it, let them consider it. Let's open up other channels first."

"Okay, Mr. Chen."

Su Qing stood up to say goodbye, and as she turned around, her pert buttocks looked particularly alluring under her tight dress.

......

A few days later, a marketing storm surrounding "Legend of Mir" swept across the entire Chinese internet.

Simply open portal websites like Sina and Sohu, and the most prominent position on the homepage is filled with posters of the warrior wielding the Dragon Slayer Sword, accompanied by the catchy phrase "Passionate PK, Blood-Soaked Siege," creating a strong visual impact.

Offline, Su Qing's team demonstrated exceptional execution capabilities.

Throughout East China, almost every decent internet cafe has a poster of "Legend of Mir" on its door.

Stepping into the internet cafe, you'll see that the screens of hundreds of computers have all been changed to game promotional wallpapers, prominently displaying: "November 1st, Grand Opening!"

Meanwhile, promotion teams in North and South China were also pushing forward at a frantic pace, with cooperation agreements flying back to headquarters like snowflakes.

Luxury homes on the Bund on the weekend.

Chen Feng, unusually, didn't go to the company and sat on the sofa in his bathrobe, drinking tea.

Chen Xiaotian strolled out of his room, took a bite of an apple, and asked casually, "Dad, is the game we bought from Korea about to have its public beta test?"

"Hmm, the first of next month." Chen Feng took a sip of tea. "What, you want to join too?"

"I was just asking casually."

Chen Xiaotian sat down next to Chen Feng. "I was looking up information online just now, and I found that this game is being spread like wildfire. It's on every website, and even BBS forums are full of posts about it."

"That's right." Chen Feng smiled, his tone quite smug. "Your dad really went all out this time, approving three million just for publicity. How can we become an overnight sensation if we don't make a big splash?"

"Three million?"

Chen Xiaotian was stunned for a moment.

Wow, Dad's spending is incredible! Three million in 2000 was an absolute fortune!

With that kind of boldness, he deserves to be rich.

【but...】

Chen Xiaotian's eyes darted around, and he suddenly asked, "Dad, since we spent so much money, why didn't I see 'GG' on QQ Chat? Everyone's using QQ Chat now, so typing 'GG' there should be more effective, right?"

Chen Feng shrugged: "I wanted to too, so I asked Su Qing to contact them, but they complained that the interface was too small and there was no place to put GG, saying it would affect the aesthetics, and they haven't given me a definite answer yet."

After listening, Chen Xiaotian suddenly understood.

[I see... The current version of OICQ is still very primitive; it is indeed a small program, only a few hundred KB in size, with a clean interface consisting of just a list.]

[It seems that Pony Ma hasn't evolved into that business genius yet; he's still clinging to his so-called "minimalism."]

[Actually, it's simple. If there's no space on the interface, just make it pop up!]

[The pop-up in the bottom right corner is a no-go! This was later Tencent's nuclear weapon! It didn't take up screen space, yet it forced a reminder, making it hard for users to ignore.]

[If you just tell them this idea, Pony Ma will definitely agree. Besides, it's extremely low-tech; it's just a matter of changing two lines of code.]

If we can seize this opportunity and successfully launch this "pop-up failure" campaign, not only will our game become a hit, but we can also get Tencent to owe us a favor. This will be our key to securing future investments!

Upon hearing the words "pop-up window failure," Chen Feng's hand paused slightly, and his eyes flashed with a sharp light.

Pop-up?

Forced pop-up?

Brilliant! That's a genius idea!

Nowadays, software is very honest, and no one dares to do such a "rogue" thing.

If Penguin Chat could pop up a cute little window in the bottom right corner when a user logs in or while chatting...

Then none of those millions or even tens of millions of users will escape!

Chen Feng suppressed his excitement and did not show it.

He calmly took a sip of tea, but in his mind he had already planned for tomorrow.

"Alright, kids shouldn't worry about adult matters. If they don't want to answer, they don't have to. We don't need another channel."

Chen Feng gave a perfunctory reply, sent his son to watch TV, and then got up and went to the balcony, looking at the Huangpu River with a slight smile on his lips.

Little Pony, I'll just give you this big gift without being shy.

......

The next day, Monday.

As soon as Chen Feng arrived at the company, he asked Su Qing to find Tencent's contact information.

He didn't let Su Qing make the call; instead, he picked up the landline on the table and dialed the number himself.

The phone rang a few times before being answered.

"Hello, this is Tencent. Who are you looking for?"

A slightly tired but gentle male voice came from the other end of the line, with a hint of a southern accent.

"Hello, I am Chen Feng from Legend Network Technology."

Chen Feng got straight to the point, "My assistant previously contacted your company about advertising on Google Play."

The person on the other end was clearly taken aback for a moment, then reacted and became more enthusiastic: "Oh! Hello, Mr. Chen! I'm Ma Huateng."

Chen Feng raised an eyebrow.

I was lucky; I got straight to the person in charge.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Ma."

Chen Feng asked calmly, "Regarding the GG issue, I heard from my subordinates that your company feels the interface space is limited, which is a bit of a dilemma?"

Ma Huateng on the other end of the phone gave a wry smile: "Yes, Mr. Chen, I'm really sorry. We founders have been discussing this for several days, and the current version's interface is indeed too cramped. Forcing in a GG slot just looks awkward, so..."

"Mr. Ma, if you're worried about the interface, I have a small, albeit immature, suggestion that might address your concerns."

Chen Feng interrupted him, his voice carrying a hint of seduction.

"Oh? Please go ahead, Mr. Chen."

Ma Huateng immediately became interested.

Tencent is desperately short of money right now, and it's bleeding inside if it doesn't take the free GG fees that are practically handed to it.
