My capital is quite large.

Before you knew it, a month had passed.

Haofeng Network's various businesses continued to thrive during this month.

Overseas mobile game platforms are raking in US dollars, Bilibili's anime conventions have ignited the entire ACG (Anime, Comics, and Games) community, and iQiyi is conquering new territories with its high-definition picture quality and exclusive broadcasting rights.

Haofeng, this giant aircraft carrier of pan-entertainment, is expanding at a speed that chills its peers.

However, amidst this rapid expansion, Haofeng Network's newly expanded legal department, which was originally poised for a major breakthrough, suffered a significant setback!

The atmosphere in the CEO's office was frighteningly low.

The newly recruited general counsel, who had been poached at a high salary, stood in front of Li Feng's desk, sweating profusely, his face ashen, clutching several newly issued court judgments in his hand.

"Mr. Li... lost the lawsuit."

The legal director's voice was filled with resentment and frustration. "Those few influential figures from Tencent's Weibo account who spread rumors about you and the company's senior management, and stirred up trouble to smear our artists—the court actually ruled against us!"

"What's the reason?" Li Feng leaned back in his boss's chair, his eyes slightly cold.

"The reason is utterly absurd!"

The general counsel was furious, gritting his teeth. "We submitted complete evidence, including IP addresses, screenshots of financial transactions, and a chain of evidence to incite public opinion. The evidence couldn't be more conclusive! But the Nanshan District court dismissed it so easily, citing reasons such as 'public figures should bear a certain degree of public scrutiny' and 'insufficient evidence to prove that they had a malicious intent to defame!'"

"Not only were they not made to issue a public apology or pay compensation, they weren't even given an administrative penalty for 'picking quarrels and provoking trouble'!"

Listening to the legal director's report, Zhang Xinyu, standing to the side, stomped her feet in anger: "What kind of judgment is this?! Isn't this blatant bias?!"

Unlike Zhang Xinyu, Li Feng was not filled with righteous indignation. He simply looked quietly at the judgment on the table, a profound understanding flashing in his eyes.

He waved his hand, signaling the general counsel to leave first.

A brief silence fell over the office.

"Boss, are we just going to swallow this?" Zhang Xinyu bit her red lips, full of resentment. "We're clearly in the right, our evidence is so solid, why can't we beat a few marketing accounts?"

"On what grounds?"

Li Feng sneered: "Because this is Nanshan."

In the past, there were two unbreakable regional myths circulating in the internet circle: one was the "Alibaba Iron Army" in Hangzhou, and the other was the famous "Nanshan Invincible Team"!

Why is Tencent's legal department so successful and invincible in Nanshan District, Shenzhen? Is it really because their lawyers have three heads and six arms?

Of course not!

"Xinyu, when doing business, don't just look at the legal provisions, but look at the underlying economic foundation."

"The judicial and administrative power in a region is always tilted towards the major taxpayers in that region."

"Our Haofeng Network is indeed making money now, with monthly revenue of over 100 million yuan and a significant amount of taxes paid. However, over the past six months, despite our acquisitions of copyrights, purchases of companies, and R&D, and even with various tax deductions, the actual tax revenue remaining in Nanshan District is still a huge gap compared to that of Tencent, the behemoth that pays tens of billions of yuan in taxes annually!"

"In Nanshan, the penguin is the real local power, the anchor that drives the district's GDP and employment! No matter how powerful our out-of-town dragon is, before its tax revenue crushes it, the local balance will naturally tilt towards this native penguin."

Today, it's just a few minor defamation lawsuits, yet Nanshan District dares to take such a biased stance.

What happens after that? Once Haofeng Networks has built its patent wall, and once it engages in a real life-or-death battle with Tencent in the gaming and social media fields, involving tens or hundreds of billions of yuan in commercial infringement lawsuits, will it still be necessary to beg Nanshan District for a fair judgment in Tencent's absolute home turf?

"Playing away from home always means suffering a hidden loss."

Li Feng's eyes gleamed with a do-or-die determination. "Since the penguins have drained the nutrients from this soil, let's find a place where we can make our own decisions and build our base!"

"Boss, you mean... moving?!" Zhang Xinyu exclaimed in surprise. "But our company is so big now, with thousands of employees, where are we going to move to?"

"Go to a place that urgently needs internet giants to boost GDP, and whose administrative level is absolutely comparable to Nanshan."

"Go and connect me to the investment promotion office of Jinling City, Jiangsu Province."

……

That afternoon, a top-secret cross-provincial video conference was held in Haofeng Network's most secure conference room.

On the other end of the screen were the head of the Jinling City Investment Promotion Bureau and several high-ranking leaders in charge of the economy.

Nanjing, the ancient capital of six dynasties and the provincial capital! Not only does it have a profound cultural heritage and numerous universities, but its administrative level is also sub-provincial, making it absolutely qualified to compete with any district in Shenzhen!

"Mr. Li! I've heard so much about you!"

As soon as the video call connected, Director Wang of the Jinling Investment Promotion Office couldn't stop smiling.

Can you stop laughing?

In today's Chinese internet landscape, Hangzhou has Alibaba, Shenzhen has Tencent, and Beijing has Baidu and Sina.

Nanjing, a major economic center in the Yangtze River Delta, has always been a blank spot in terms of top-tier internet giants!

Now, Haofeng Network, a behemoth in the pan-entertainment industry with US dollar foreign exchange in its hands, has actually taken the initiative to extend an olive branch!

If this can attract investment to settle in Nanjing, it will be an absolutely groundbreaking achievement that will shake the entire province!

"Director Wang, you're too kind."

Li Feng didn't beat around the bush; he directly revealed his hand and concerns.

"Haofeng Networks currently has a monthly net cash flow of around 200 to 300 million RMB, and it is still in a period of rapid growth. We intend to relocate the group headquarters, R&D center, and a future team of thousands of employees to Nanjing."

"However, Haofeng Networks' competitor is a certain penguin in Nanshan, Shenzhen. In the future, we will inevitably face a large number of fierce commercial lawsuits and patent disputes."

"I want to know if Nanjing's administrative level and judicial system can hold their own in the face of cross-provincial disputes in Nanshan District? Can they provide my company with an absolutely fair and undisturbed trial environment?!"

Upon hearing Li Feng's blatant political calculations, Director Wang exuded an air of dominance: "President Li! You greatly underestimate the profound heritage of our ancient capital of six dynasties!"

"As long as Haofeng Network registers its headquarters in Nanjing, you will become a key protected enterprise in our province!"

"What do you mean, 'Nanshan Invincible'? Once you cross provincial borders and enter the Yangtze River Delta region, as long as you're in the right and abide by the law, even if it's the Emperor himself, our Jiangsu courts will absolutely give you the fairest and most just judgment! Our provincial capital's administrative level ensures you won't suffer the slightest injustice!"

"President Li, this is to express our sincerity at Jinling."

Director Wang seized the opportunity and offered a super gift package that no company could refuse:

"We've specifically designated a large, newly built science and technology zone near Xianlin University City for you! The office buildings and R&D centers there are all ready-made, fully furnished! We'll allocate the land and rent to Haofeng Network at cost price! The three-year tax exemption and five-year 50% reduction policy will be arranged immediately!"

"If you're willing to come, you can move in and start working tomorrow!"

A ready-made new technology city! Unbelievably low prices!

This demonstrates the audacity of local governments in their quest to acquire top internet giants!

Li Feng smiled with satisfaction, bowing slightly to the screen, his voice tinged with a deep affection for his hometown:

"Director Wang, to be honest, I, Li Feng, am originally from Xuzhou."

"Working far from home, I yearn for my hometown. I've long wanted to contribute to the economic development of my hometown, Jiangsu!"

……

The next morning.

Two mid-level leaders from the Nanshan District Investment Promotion Bureau and the Subdistrict Office walked into the president's office of Haofeng Network with smiles on their faces, carrying two boxes of what appeared to be expensive tea.

They had naturally heard about Haofeng Network's setback in the defamation lawsuit, and came here today specifically to "appease" this young, major taxpayer.

"Oh dear, Mr. Li, are you still troubled by those lawsuits from the other day?"

One of the Mediterranean-looking leaders sat down on the sofa, picked up his teacup, and spoke in a serious, bureaucratic tone: "Mr. Li, we business people need to look forward. Court rulings always have their reasons, and the boundaries of freedom of speech are difficult to define. Rest assured, the district still highly values ​​excellent companies like Haofeng Network!"

"However..."

The Mediterranean leader abruptly changed the subject, implying with a forced smile, "After all, Penguin has been the big brother of our district for over ten years, deeply entrenched. We're all in the same boat, young people shouldn't be too hot-tempered, harmony brings wealth. In this place, it's the rule to bow your head and give way a little, and life will be easier."

On the surface it's appeasement, but deep down it's contempt.

In their eyes, what does it matter how much foreign exchange Li Feng earns? In this small corner of Nanshan, even if you're a dragon, you have to coil up; even if you're a tiger, you have to lie low! Penguins are the real local bullies here!

Li Feng listened to these sarcastic and sarcastic remarks, but his face did not show a trace of anger.

He personally poured tea for the two leaders, his smile as gentle and warm as jade.

"The two leaders are right to teach us a lesson."

Li Feng nodded humbly and said sincerely, "Haofeng Network is still young and inexperienced. We absolutely respect the legal judgment of the Nanshan Court, and we will definitely learn from this painful experience, make money peacefully, and never cause trouble for the district."

Seeing Li Feng's "compliant" appearance, the two leaders exchanged a smile, satisfied.

"This kid knows what's good for him. So what if he's rich? He still has to bow down to us in the end." The two leaders sneered inwardly, finished their tea, and swaggered away.

however.

Less than twenty-four hours later.

The same Mediterranean-looking leader was sitting leisurely in his office at the Nanshan District Investment Promotion Bureau, reading the newspaper.

"Bang!"

The office door was kicked open by a subordinate, who was sweating profusely and holding a document stamped with the official seal: "Director...Director! Something terrible has happened!! The sky has fallen!"

"What's the rush so early in the morning?!" The Mediterranean leader frowned unhappily.

"Haofeng Networks!! It's Haofeng Networks!"

"This morning, as soon as the Industry and Commerce Bureau opened, people from Haofeng Network went there with all the necessary documents to pick up their files! They've officially submitted their application to relocate their group headquarters across provinces!"

"Not only their headquarters, but also their game development center, film and television department, and a whole bunch of newly registered subsidiaries are all moving out! Their target is the Nanjing Xianlin Science and Technology Zone!"

"Clatter!"

The purple clay teacup held by the Mediterranean leader slipped from his hand and shattered on the ground.

Moving away?!

That's a super unicorn with a net inflow of tens of millions of US dollars in foreign exchange every month and an unlimited future valuation!

That's the golden opportunity that will drive GDP growth and technological transformation in the district over the next decade!

Just because of a few trivial defamation lawsuits, he took over the entire group without even giving a heads-up?!

"Quick! Get the car ready!! Get the car ready immediately and head to Haofeng Building! Stop Li Feng!!"

The Mediterranean leader roared like a madman, regretting his actions terribly!

Yesterday he subtly hinted that the other party should "bow down and accept the rules," but today the other party has overturned the table and is no longer playing in his game!

If the higher authorities investigate and hold him accountable for causing such a huge tax behemoth to lose its tax revenue, it would be enough to make him lose his job a hundred times over!
