My capital is quite large.

Chapter 56 The Ecological Matrix of Getting Something for Nothing

three days later.

Shenzhen, Haofeng Networks headquarters, inside the spacious and luxurious CEO's office.

As the saying goes, when there's work to be done, the secretary does it; when there's nothing to do, the secretary takes over

As a financial tycoon with a net worth of billions who leaves work promptly at four o'clock every afternoon, Li Feng embodies this principle to the fullest extent.

Behind her desk, Zhang Xinyu was like a well-behaved kitten, dutifully performing her duties as her personal secretary.

"Ring ring—"

The intercom on the table rang at an inopportune moment.

Li Feng leaned back in the wide leather chair, raised his eyebrows slightly, and reached out to press the hands-free button.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Jia from LeTV, who came a couple of days ago, is here again. He says he has obtained the bargaining chips you want and insists on seeing you today." The receptionist's voice came through the loudspeaker.

A hint of surprise flashed in Li Feng's eyes.

So fast? Only three days have passed, and this guy is back again?

Could it be that this accountant Jia, who claims to be "returning to China next week," really managed to fool Pony Ma of Tencent or Jack Ma of Alibaba with his smooth talk?

But then Li Feng thought about it again and felt relieved.

After all, in his past life, this Mr. Jia was a super conman who could trick Jack Ma into investing real money in his LeSports!

This person's eloquence and persuasive skills are definitely at the level of a pyramid scheme leader.

"Tell him to wait for me in the VIP meeting room," Li Feng said casually before hanging up the phone.

He patted under the table.

Zhang Xinyu immediately understood and stood up.

She deftly straightened her slightly disheveled business suit, pulled her rolled-up black stockings back to their straight shape, then quickly walked to the French windows for some fresh air, and took out a bottle of perfume from her bag to spray it into the air twice.

Only after carefully sniffing the air and confirming that the decadent smell had been completely masked did Zhang Xinyu walk to the door and open the office door for Li Feng.

……

Two minutes later, in the VIP meeting room.

As soon as Li Feng pushed open the door, he saw Boss Jia standing in front of the curtain, looking radiant.

Compared to his disheveled appearance three days ago when he was kicked out, Boss Jia today seemed to be on fire, radiant and even his glasses were reflecting light.

"Mr. Li! I'm here again!"

As soon as Boss Jia saw Li Feng, he immediately greeted him warmly, and without saying a word, he reopened his laptop and brought up a brand new PowerPoint presentation.

"Mr. Li, you pointed me in the right direction three days ago, and I suddenly understood everything after I went back! However, I didn't go to the Fiyta Building in Shenzhen, nor did I go to Hangzhou."

Holding a laser pointer, Boss Jia pointed to the impressive new topology map on the screen, his voice filled with excitement: "I went to Zhuhai! I found Kingsoft Software!"

"Today, I'm bringing you something powerful enough to overthrow penguin dominance—an anti-penguin ecosystem matrix!"

Upon hearing the words "take down the penguins," Li Feng paused slightly, holding his coffee cup, and couldn't help but glance at the middle-aged man in front of him.

This kid... actually figured out I was going to mess with Tencent?

Li Feng nodded inwardly. Although this Accountant Jia was a master of empty promises, his strategic vision was indeed sharp. He was able to accurately sense the impending battle between Haofeng Network and Tencent from Li Feng's few sarcastic remarks!

"Go on," Li Feng said, leaning back on the sofa, gesturing for him to begin his performance.

Encouraged by Li Feng, Boss Jia's public speaking talent soared once again!

"Mr. Li, Haofeng Network has plenty of manpower and money, and we also control Weibo, a super traffic platform with tens of millions of daily active users! The only thing you lack is a peerless sword on the front lines that can pierce the heart of Tencent's PC games!"

"And this sword is in Jinshan's hands!"

Boss Jia suddenly pressed the page-turning pen, and a stunningly beautiful 3D poster of "JX3" in traditional Chinese style appeared on the screen.

"After three years of meticulous development, Kingsoft's highly anticipated 3D martial arts game, 'JX3,' is about to launch its open beta! Its quality is absolutely qualified to rival Tencent's in the PC game market!"

"Just yesterday, I reached a preliminary equity exchange agreement with Kingsoft's senior management!"

As Mr. Jia spoke, he became increasingly agitated, his face flushed. "Our LeTV contributed 10% of its original shares in exchange for a certain share from Kingsoft! In return, I successfully secured the joint agency operation rights for 'JX3'!"

"Mr. Li! If you agree today to share Haofeng's film and television rights with LeTV, I will immediately and unconditionally tie the nuclear weapon that is 'JX3' to Haofeng's Weibo account!"

"Leveraging Haofeng's massive Weibo traffic and your celebrity network, we can join forces to boost traffic and launch a market surge! Kingsoft provides the games, LeEco provides the copyright ecosystem, and Haofeng provides the traffic pool! The three of us will form an unbreakable ecosystem matrix, jointly ending Tencent's dominance in social media and gaming!"

A combo is unleashed with overwhelming momentum, making one's blood boil!

If some clueless, hot-blooded young man were sitting here, he would probably swear a blood oath with him on the spot.

But who is Li Feng?

He listened quietly as Boss Jia talked animatedly, and as he listened, the smile in his eyes grew wider and wider, until he couldn't help but chuckle out loud.

He finally realized what was going on!

So this kid came right in front of me and pulled a double scam, trying to get something for nothing!

Equity exchange? Joint agency?

Li Feng's mind worked incredibly fast.

With LeTV, which hasn't even gone public yet, in his hands, why would Kingsoft's top management believe his nonsense and hand over the agency rights to "JX3," a major title that the entire company is risking its life for?

The answer is simple.

When Boss Jia went to Kingsoft for negotiations, he definitely went under the guise of Li Feng and Hao Feng's Weibo accounts!

He must have used Haofeng's Weibo account with tens of millions of daily active users and a matrix of top celebrities to fool Kingsoft, telling Kingsoft: As long as you exchange equity with me, Haofeng's traffic pool will be the backyard of "JX3"!

Once Kingsoft was interested and made a verbal promise, he turned around and used Kingsoft's "JX3" as leverage to try and swindle film and television rights from me!

What a double agent!

If I don't agree to his terms, how am I supposed to exchange shares with Kingsoft? His so-called "matrix" is nothing but a castle in the air, completely fabricated with just words!

"Mr. Jia, that's quite a tactic."

Li Feng interrupted Boss Jia's impassioned speech, looking at him with a half-smile, "If I'm not mistaken, the joint agency rights for 'JX3' only work if we, Haofeng Network, are brought in together. Only then will Kingsoft agree to exchange equity with you, right?"

When his secret was exposed, Boss Jia's eyes flickered for a moment, but he was thick-skinned and didn't feel embarrassed at all.

"Mr. Li has a keen eye," Boss Jia admitted without batting an eye.

"In that case, I have a question."

Li Feng leaned back on the sofa, his eyes full of mockery. "Since it's a Kingsoft game, my Haofeng Network has money and traffic. Why shouldn't I just kick you aside and take the cash to Zhuhai to cooperate with Kingsoft?"

"Why should I let a middleman come here and take my film and television copyrights for nothing?"

If an ordinary person were exposed like this, they would have been so ashamed that they would have wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground.

But is Accountant Jia no ordinary person?

Without batting an eye, and even with a hint of pride, he pushed up his glasses: "Mr. Li, of course you can go yourself. But without me, Jia Yueting, acting as a go-between, Kingsoft would never have given up the lion's share of the profits from 'JX3'!"

"Oh? Why?" Li Feng asked with great interest.

"Because Kingsoft is short of money!"

Mr. Jia stated matter-of-factly, "They've been burning through cash for three years developing this game, and they're not having an easy time right now! The reason they're willing to talk to me is because they're eyeing LeEco's ability to quickly recoup a huge amount of cash in the secondary market after its IPO next year!"

"I used LeEco's future capital to secure this excellent opportunity for Haofeng Network to fight back!"

I understand.

Li Feng understood completely.

What Mr. Jia meant was that he used his company's shares to shoulder Kingsoft's financial pressure, and then used the opportunity gained from this to "demand" film and television copyrights from Li Feng.

"Slap, slap, slap."

Li Feng clapped again, and his eyes, looking at Boss Jia, even held a hint of genuine admiration.

If it weren't for the memories of my past life, I might have actually been persuaded by this incredibly talented pie-in-the-sky master.

such a pity.

Li Feng stood up, straightened the hem of his suit jacket, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

"Mr. Jia, your trick of getting something for nothing is truly brilliant."

Li Feng walked to the door and ruthlessly opened the door to the reception room.

"But I'm sorry. I don't have a good outlook on Kingsoft, just like I don't have a good outlook on LeEco."

Under Boss Jia's instantly frozen gaze, Li Feng coldly uttered his final verdict: "You overestimate 'JX3'. I've never believed that a traditional martial arts MMORPG could pose any real threat to Tencent's empire."

"If I, Li Feng, want to kill a penguin, I don't need to borrow someone else's knife."

"Secretary Zhang."

"Show him out. If Mr. Jia comes again in the future, security guards can stop him directly without reporting to me."
