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

In the golden autumn of October, the harvest is plentiful.

Legendary Networks' second trump card, "Miracle MU," has finally ended its long public beta test.

On October 1st, it officially began charging for services.

During its open beta testing, the game's peak concurrent player count once exceeded 500,000.

Although the data dropped somewhat after the fees were introduced, according to Su Qing's report, the highest number of online users on the first day remained stable at over 360,000.

In today's online game market, this is definitely a phenomenal masterpiece second only to "Legend of Mir".

With two blockbuster products in hand, Legend Network's cash flow is frighteningly abundant.

......

November 24th arrived in the blink of an eye.

When Pony Ma, who was also invited to the conference, arrived in Shanghai, Chen Feng, as a local, arranged to meet him in advance.

The two sat down in a quiet tea room.

"Mr. Chen, I heard that the organizers originally wanted to arrange for you to give a keynote speech, but you declined?" Little Ma took a sip of tea and asked curiously.

Chen Feng smiled and said, "Although I've invested in a few internet companies, I'm not formally trained in the field. I'll leave these opportunities for you real trendsetters to handle; I won't presume to teach you."

"Haha, Mr. Chen is too modest."

Pony Ma remarked, "Your Legendary Network occupies half of the domestic online game market, is a major shareholder of Tencent, and also holds nearly 8% of NetEase's shares."

"With the popularity of 'A Chinese Odyssey Part Two', NetEase's stock price soared. Everyone says you have a keen eye and are a true investment master."

Chen Feng waved his hand: "It was just good luck. The main reason is that Ding Lei is capable of pulling NetEase out of the mire."

After a few casual words, Chen Feng got down to business: "By the way, Mr. Ma, you mentioned last time that you wanted to distribute a game; is there any progress yet?"

"We've already made contact."

Mentioning this, a hint of anticipation flashed in Pony Ma's eyes, "We've got our eye on a 3D online game called 'Triumph,' from South Korea. It uses the Unreal Engine 2, and the graphics are absolutely stunning."

"I plan to send a team to South Korea early next year to negotiate. As you previously suggested, we must obtain the source code."

"As for operation and promotion, I came up with a plan—play games and give away QQ accounts."

"Currently, registering a QQ account requires payment and there are limited slots. If we offer this as a reward, I believe it will attract a large number of users to try the game."

Chen Feng nodded slightly.

Although he didn't know the final ending of "Triumph," the "giving away QQ numbers" tactic was indeed a killer move, and only Tencent could pull it off.

......

The following day, the first China Internet Conference opened at the Shanghai International Convention Center.

This is a real gathering of big shots.

Not only were all the major domestic internet companies present, but many overseas industry elites also attended, with the number of participants exceeding one thousand.

The morning sessions consist of policy interpretations and speeches by leaders, without fail.

Chen Feng sat in the front row, listening attentively.

In this era of unbridled growth, understanding policy trends is often more important than hard work.

During the break after lunch, Little Ma mysteriously led Chen Feng to a VIP lounge where all sorts of big shots gathered.

Pushing open the door, one finds several leading figures in China's current internet industry.

Ding Lei, Zhang Chaoyang, Ma Yun, Lei Jun... and so on.

"Everyone, let me introduce myself."

Pony Ma smiled and said, "This is Mr. Chen Feng, the runner-up on last year's Hurun Rich List, and also a major shareholder of Tencent."

Everyone stood up.

Ding Lei, with his round head and broad face, was the first to extend his hand, his face beaming with smiles: "President Chen, it's an honor to meet you! When you bought up NetEase stock in such a big way, it scared me half to death. I thought a barbarian had come to the door to forcibly take over."

Chen Feng grasped his hand and smiled, "Mr. Ding, you flatter me. I'm just a financial investor; I simply believe in Mr. Ding's abilities and the potential of 'A Chinese Odyssey Part Two.' As it turns out, I'm very satisfied with this investment."

"Haha, that's right, thank you for your kind words, Mr. Chen."

Ding Lei laughed heartily, then launched into a吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for complaining/criticizing) session, "Actually, I was forced into this situation. The Korean game 'Elf' that I was distributing was a complete disaster!"

"The Koreans are so unreasonable, they just refuse to give out the source code. They don't care about the rampant cheating, they can't fix the numerous bugs, and the game has been dragged down. Fortunately, our self-developed 'Fantasy Westward Journey 2' is doing well, otherwise NetEase would really have to go out of business."

Hearing this, Little Ma, who was standing to the side, was deeply moved.

"Mr. Ding's experience perfectly confirms the warning Mr. Chen gave me earlier."

Little Ma looked at Chen Feng with admiration. "President Chen reminded me long ago that you must obtain the source code to distribute games, otherwise you'll be at their mercy. Now it seems that was a wise saying."

Everyone was somewhat surprised.

Ding Lei looked at Pony Ma: "What? Is Tencent going to enter the online gaming market too?"

Pony Ma nodded frankly: "There's nothing we can do. We're envious watching you guys make money. We have hundreds of millions of users but can't monetize them, so we have no choice but to come to the online gaming industry to make a living."

The lunch break was short, so everyone exchanged brief greetings and business cards.

In the crowd, Chen Feng's gaze lingered on Jack Ma for a while longer.

This rather "unique" short man from Hangzhou is currently talking animatedly with the person next to him about the future of e-commerce.

Although Chen Feng is not a reincarnated person and cannot predict the future.

But he clearly remembers that his son, Chen Xiaotian, mentioned the company called "Alibaba" several times in his heartfelt words, saying that it would grow into a trillion-dollar giant on par with Tencent in the future.

Now that he knew the trump card, Chen Feng naturally didn't want to miss out.

Finding a moment of respite, he tentatively extended an olive branch to Jack Ma: "Mr. Ma, Fengtian Capital is very interested in the B2B sector. Does Alibaba have any financing plans in the near future?"

Jack Ma paused for a moment, then flashed his signature smile and politely deflected the question.

"Thank you for your kind offer, Mr. Chen. However, Alibaba's cash flow is currently quite healthy, and we have just completed several rounds of financing from SoftBank and Goldman Sachs, resulting in a rather complex shareholder structure..."

The implication is clear: they have enough money and don't want to bring in any new investors.

Chen Feng felt regretful, but he could only give up.

With international financial giants like Masayoshi Son backing them, it's understandable that they wouldn't be interested in domestic money.

......

The three-day conference has come to a successful conclusion.

Chen Feng played the role of a quiet observer throughout, spending most of his time listening to the direction of policy.

As December arrived, temperatures in Shanghai plummeted.

Zhang Qiang, general manager of Fengchi Electric Vehicles, returned from Southeast Asia, covered in tropical sunshine and with a tanned complexion.

This trip lasted for a full five months.

Without taking a break, Zhang Qiang rushed into Chen Feng's office to report the results of the battle.

"Mr. Chen, I have accomplished my mission!"

Zhang Qiang could not hide his excitement, "In the past five months, we have already made a name for ourselves in Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia."

"Japanese motorcycles are indeed dominant there, but our Fengchi electric bikes win because of their unbeatable cost-effectiveness. For the same commute distance, our operating costs are only one-tenth of those of a motorcycle. People can do the math, and we're gaining market share very quickly."

"However, we encountered some resistance from Vietnam..."

Chen Feng put down his teacup: "What do you mean?"

"The tariffs are too harsh."

Zhang Qiang sighed, "After exporting the whole vehicle and adding tariffs, the price is almost as high as that of a Honda motorcycle in the local market, making it completely uncompetitive."

"I've come up with an idea—build an assembly plant over there."

"By shipping the parts and assembling them there, we can not only avoid tariffs but also enjoy preferential policies for foreign investment in factories. As long as we can bring down costs, the Vietnamese market will definitely explode."

Chen Feng thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "The idea is very clear. Since tariffs are an obstacle, let's go around them."

"However, the Lunar New Year is approaching, and building a factory is no small matter. You should first make a detailed plan, and then personally lead the team to implement it after the New Year."

"Understood! I'll use the Chinese New Year holiday to refine the plan," Zhang Qiang replied.

After finishing their business, Chen Feng asked the question he was most concerned about: "How are the current sales figures?"

Zhang Qiang's face lit up with a smile when this was mentioned.

"The first two months were quite difficult, but after the channels were expanded, the growth was very rapid."

"Take last month, November, for example. Our total sales in the five Southeast Asian countries reached over 11,300 vehicles!"

"Total sales exceeded three million eight hundred thousand US dollars, equivalent to more than thirty million RMB!"

Chen Feng's eyes lit up.

Although Southeast Asian countries are not large in size and their economies are relatively underdeveloped, it is truly remarkable that they can achieve more than 10,000 units per month in such a short period of time.

This is a completely new growth market with huge future potential.

"Well done!"

Chen Feng praised him generously, "Manager Zhang, you've worked hard these past six months. Fengchi's success in taking this step is largely due to your efforts."

"Mr. Chen, you flatter me. It's just my job," Zhang Qiang said modestly.

Chen Feng smiled, opened a drawer, and took out a document.

"I'm a man of my word. I promised you that if you could break into the Southeast Asian market, I would give you 1% of the stock options."

"Given your outstanding performance, I have decided to add 0.5%, giving you a total of 1.5% of the Windspeed option."

"I hope you will continue your efforts and plant the Fengchi flag all over the world."

1.5%!

Zhang Qiang suddenly raised his head, his breathing instantly becoming rapid.

This is half again as much as originally promised!

Given Fengchi's current growth momentum, this 0.5% increase could translate into tens of millions of yuan in real money in the future.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen! Thank you, boss!"

Zhang Qiang was so excited he was incoherent, pounding his chest loudly, "Don't worry, from now on, my life belongs to the company! Next year, I'll definitely conquer the Vietnamese market too!"

"Okay, that's good enough."

Chen Feng patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "It's almost the end of the year, remember to put the financial report in order and submit it."

"yes!"

......

Stepping out of the company building, a gust of cold wind finally calmed Zhang Qiang down from his excitement.

But he couldn't hide the smile in the corner of his eye.

This gamble paid off handsomely!

If you choose the right boss and work the right job, your future wealth and prosperity are assured!
