Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

But even during the entire third test, which lasted 7 days, there was still a million in revenue.

Moreover, judging from player feedback, Girls' Frontline is of good quality and has its own unique features.

As for Yu Zhong's lack of cooperation, Yao Meng was already used to it.

Or rather, he's still not used to Yu Zhong not having an attack.

So he's been preparing for the game's public beta launch these past few days.

Thinking that Yu Zhong would have a relapse, they waited for him to have one.

Back in his office, after sitting down, he casually asked the person next to him a question.

"Xiao Li, could you help me find out what kind of company Digital Sky is?"

"Okay, sure."

After giving a casual remark, Yao Meng continued to handle operational matters.

I hadn't even considered that possibility.

But he was stunned when he heard Xiao Li's report.

"You said Digital Sky is a game distribution company based in Chengdu!"

"Yeah, Yao, are they trying to ditch us and go it alone?"

The same thought popped into Yao Meng's mind, but he quickly shook his head.

"Probably not. We have a contract, and we're the ones who contacted the voice actors. All the resources are with us. If Yu Zhong were a normal person..."

At this point, Yao Meng froze, looking towards the office across the street.

Is Yu Zhong a normal person?

"I'll go over and take a look!"

~~~

Ultimately, Yao Meng did not meet with Yu Zhong that afternoon, reportedly because he went out to give a media interview.

He also asked several of Sanbao's employees, and they all said they hadn't heard of any new distributors coming in, which reassured him a lot.

~~~

The next day.

"Yu Zhong, you're a real bastard!! You call yourself a brother?! You ran away so fast, you really got out of there cleanly! Aren't you ashamed? Why are you running away?"

The smoke in the office was choking, and a hoarse voice, full of anxiety, echoed in the empty office.

Yao Meng stared blankly at the empty office.

If it weren't for the few Girls' Frontline posters scattered around, and some documents that hadn't been taken with them.

It's hard to believe that this place was bustling and lively just yesterday.

The operations staff following Yao Meng were also incredibly surprised by the scene.

No one expected that Yu Zhong would actually be so insane, turning on people so easily.

Before this, almost everyone thought that Yu Zhong's switch of operators was a joke, after all, the two companies had actually signed a contract.

Moreover, this isn't the same as what happened back then with Qupai and Huanmeng. Back then, Qupai really skimmed money from Huanmeng and pushed them to the brink of collapse, forcing Huanmeng to have no choice but to switch distributors.

However, array bombs and spread bombs don't have this problem.

Even the voice actors for the game were negotiated by Yao Meng with the Japanese side, and the voice resources were all in the hands of the team.

Furthermore, since Girls' Frontline was released, the official stance has been consistent: it's about integrated operation and maintenance.

"Yu Zhong, how dare you!"

"Does China really think there is no law?!"

Even now, Yao Meng still doesn't understand how Yu Zhong dared to do that.

But the reality is that Yu Zhong not only did it, but he did it very decisively.

"Boss... Yu Zhong ran away, what... what do we do?"

These words made Yao Meng's hand tremble slightly.

"Let's issue an announcement first..."

Yao Meng was quite helpless.

Like Lin Li, he started his own business, but he didn't have much money and his family had no connections.

Yu Zhong probably knew this, which is why he didn't hesitate to step on his head.

In the previous life's timeline.

Another company invested in by Yao Meng developed a game called "Nono from Another World," but it did not achieve much success after its release and was shut down after only two and a half years of operation.

Unable to become an agent and losing money on its own research and development, Yao Meng was forced to sell his house to make ends meet.

If it weren't for the fact that they later took over the Japanese version of Azur Lane and became an instant hit, Yao Meng might have been ruined by Yu Zhong.

In today's world.

"Nono from Another World" has been released, but the revenue on the first day was only 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, which was far below expectations. It's hard to even break even, let alone make money.

Yao Meng wanted to fight back by relying on the young warriors, but at this moment, the backstab from Yu Zhong was undoubtedly a blow to his back.

Chapter Nineteen: Yao Meng's New Team

Just then, footsteps sounded from behind.

Soon, the receptionist came running in, her high heels clicking.

"Mr. Yao, Mr. Lin from Xinghuo Games is here. He says he's looking for you..."

The receptionist glanced at the messy office; it was clearly not a suitable place to receive people.

"How about I book a table for tea at the tea room outside..."

Before the receptionist could finish speaking, a man's voice rang out from behind her.

"No need, just find two chairs, I'm not picky."

As the voice faded, Lin Li, dressed in a casual suit and with a smile on his face, appeared in the room.

Upon entering the office, Lin Li saw an empty space with scattered Girls' Frontline posters and unorganized documents.

"Hey, Yu Zhong, you've really dumped you guys? Planning to go solo?"

"How could you..."

Yao Meng was stunned.

"You must be Yao Meng, right? I know you have a lot of questions. Why don't you sit down and we can talk about it slowly?"

~~~

Although the scattered explosion office was removed, the formation office remained.

Yao Meng tidied up the reception table and looked at Lin Li's dirty face, her heart pounding. A person's name is like a tree's shadow, although Lin Li wasn't actually that famous.

But over the past month, Yao Meng has been reading a lot of news about Spark Games.

They naturally knew that the other side had already made a fortune thanks to "Girls' Frontline".

While Yao Meng was looking at Lin Li, Lin Li was also observing Yao Meng.

As his name suggests, Yao Meng has a rather robust build. He was wearing a plaid shirt and jeans, similar to the attire of programmers at Linli Company.

"Actually, Digital Sky contacted me about two weeks ago and asked for my opinion on Girls' Frontline." Lin Li began his performance while Yao Meng looked shocked.

"Don't be surprised. In the investment world, it's normal to ask people in the same industry for advice before investing in a company."

"So that's why you're trying to poach me? You want to acquire our company!?"

After Yao Meng finished speaking, the eyes of the employees sitting next to him lit up.

Lin Li nodded.

"Actually, we were just trying it out before. I didn't expect Yu Zhong to actually dare to do this. It wasn't until this morning, when I received accurate information from Digital Sky, that I rushed over... I didn't expect it to be true. Yu Zhong is a real bastard."

Lin Li's sentiments were quickly echoed by Yao Meng.

When someone is in a bad mood, the best thing to do is to join them in cursing the person they're cursing.

After hearing Lin Li scold Yu Zhong, Yao Meng's impression of Lin Li improved a lot.

"So, Mr. Lin, what are your plans for coming here this time?"

"Acquire the formation. If you agree, I will do everything in my power to help you fight the lawsuit against Yu Zhong."

~~~

Yao Meng's dilemma was suddenly resolved with a brief meeting and a swift acquisition negotiation.

The battle formation is gone.

Therefore, there is no dilemma.

Yao Meng was initially going to hesitate for a while, but he quickly realized that he didn't have the right to hesitate.

Yu Zhong ran.

The lawsuit against Girls' Frontline's operations is inevitable. Even if we win, the most we'll get is the compensation stipulated in the contract.

It's also impossible to continue operating Girls' Frontline.

And this compensation, which has an uncertain arrival date, obviously cannot help the front line survive.

In addition, Yao Meng's own self-operated and published book, "Nono from Another World," did not make any money.

If Lin Li is refused at this time.

He really didn't know where to go next.

not to mention.

His current cash flow is all tied up in the Girls' Frontline project; if he doesn't accept it, the company will fall apart.

I've thought these things through.

In addition, Lin Li was willing to help him with the lawsuit.

Yao Meng stopped worrying and quickly settled the two matters with Lin Li: the acquisition and his joining the company.

Xinghuo Games acquired Zhenmian for 300 million RMB.

Since Zhenmian is a wholly-owned company of Yao Meng, the entire 300 million yuan ended up in Yao Meng's hands. For a company that only has the right to operate but has no actual operating experience, 300 million yuan is not a small amount.

In addition, Lin Li promised that if he won the lawsuit against Yu Zhong, after deducting lawyer fees and litigation costs, the remaining money would all belong to Yao Meng.

Whether it's the 300 million yuan already received or the future compensation, it's a considerable sum for Yao Meng personally.

However, Yao Meng was still somewhat saddened.

For an entrepreneur, the company is like their own child, and watching their child be sold off is a real experience.

Feeling disappointed is normal.

Moreover, Yao Meng was betrayed by Yu Zhong this morning, and then Lin Li came to discuss the acquisition.

It only took a few hours.

Life is full of ups and downs...

It's perfectly normal to feel a mix of emotions.

However, after he announced that his company and the recently popular Spark Games would merge in the coming days.

Almost all of his employees looked delighted.

I was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

Actually, the employees of the formation didn't think Yao Meng was anything special. It was just that when they cooperated with Sunburst before, they were infuriated by Yu Zhong's sarcastic and uncooperative attitude.

Now that they can escape this sea of ​​suffering, isn't that a kind of liberation for them?

In addition, "Girls' Frontline" became a huge hit.
