"Protect Grapefruit" was a huge success, with revenue exceeding 200 million.
That night, Wang Yi slept soundly.
But the miHoYo studio, far away in Modu, suffered from collective insomnia.
On September 28, 2011, their first game, "fly me to the moon," which was the first game in the Honkai series, launched on the iOS App Store.
It was half a month earlier than "Protect Grapefruit."
However, the difference was that "Protect Grapefruit" was a free game.
While "fly me to the moon" was a paid game, a one-time purchase of 18 yuan.
In those days, many iOS games adopted the paid model of Steam and E-dad.
But while this paid model was very popular abroad, it was clearly not well-suited for the domestic market.
Especially for a nascent game studio, it was practically courting disaster.
To put it bluntly, games made by new studios that no one had even heard of weren't favored by many, let alone being bought outright.
After all, the miHoYo of today was not the unicorn game giant valued at 200 billion in later generations, but just a newly established studio on the verge of bankruptcy.
The four founders, including Cai Zong, were graduate students from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, sharing common interests and being roommates.
With a 100,000 yuan subsidy from the "Hatching Eagle Plan" of the Shanghai Science and Technology Entrepreneurship Center University Student Entrepreneurship Foundation, they founded miHoYo studio.
It was precisely this 100,000 yuan that was used to create their first game, "fly me to the moon."
But because of this, the 100,000 yuan had long been spent.
Next, whether they would succeed or not depended entirely on the market performance of "fly me to the moon."
Fortunately, on September 28, "fly me to the moon" successfully launched on the iOS App Store, priced at 18 yuan for a buyout.
Cai Zong and the other three were excited yet anxious, fearing that "fly me to the moon" would perform poorly and not make money.
At that time, their invested capital would be completely lost.
Without any surprise, this type of paid game really did not suit the domestic market.
As of October 17th, "fly me to the moon" had been on the market for over half a month, selling a total of just over 1,100 copies, generating 20,000 yuan in revenue.
After deducting the iOS store's 30% commission and taxes, they pocketed just over 10,000 yuan.
Now, daily sales were continuously declining.
Previously, they could sell sixty to seventy copies a day, but since the release of "Protect Grapefruit," the single-day sales of "fly me to the moon" had dropped to twenty copies, and today it was only a dozen, with tomorrow likely to be single digits.
In the previous life, without the impact of "Protect Grapefruit," "fly me to the moon" only sold over three thousand copies in total, considered a flop.
So much so that many miHoYo fans were unaware of this game's existence.
Now, it just so happened to coincide with the release of "Protect Grapefruit," one paid, one free.
"fly me to the moon" might not even sell 1,500 copies.
Without any surprise, "fly me to the moon" failed, with a 100,000 yuan investment completely lost.
The mere 10,000 yuan earned was not even enough to pay the salaries of the four.
The newly established miHoYo had run out of ammunition and funds, with no money left to develop new games.
It seemed that bankruptcy was the only path!
This situation was exactly the same as in the previous life, perhaps even worse.
In the previous life, after "fly me to the moon" failed, to survive, the miHoYo team began to seek investment everywhere.
But unfortunately, there were too many such nascent game studios, most of which went bankrupt, so no one favored them, and no one was willing to invest in them.
As a result, in the following months, the miHoYo team faced setbacks everywhere, without any new works.
After all, with no money, how could they engage in development?
It wasn't until 2012, when miHoYo, on the verge of bankruptcy, was noticed by a Mr. Song, who invested 1 million yuan in exchange for 15% of the shares, that miHoYo survived and had the funds to develop "Honkai Academy."
In this life, the impact of "Protect Grapefruit" allowed the miHoYo team to foresee the failure of "fly me to the moon" earlier.
Cai Zong sighed:
"Both are games. 'Protect Grapefruit' launched for three days, downloads exceeded 50 million, and revenue was at least 200 million. Our 'fly me to the moon' launched for over half a month, with 1,200 downloads and 20,000 yuan in revenue. We have completely failed!"
Several roommates spoke up:
"Yes, today only a dozen copies were sold, tomorrow it might only be a few."
"I told you, the paid model wouldn't work, and now look, it's dead after just half a month on the market."
"It's not about being paid or free, it's that 'fly me to the moon' is truly a failure. Even if it were free, it wouldn't take off."
"Exactly, compared to 'Protect Grapefruit,' our 'fly me to the moon' is far too inferior. We have to admit it!"
Listening to their words, Cai Zong waved his hand:
"Alright, 'fly me to the moon' has completely failed. We can slowly summarize our lessons. The key is how to attract investment now, how to survive!"
"The 100,000 yuan from the 'Hatching Eagle Plan' was all used for 'fly me to the moon,' and there's no money left in the account. The over 10,000 yuan in revenue from 'fly me to the moon' won't be settled for another three months. If we can't secure investment, whether miHoYo can survive until next year is a problem."
"This is a big problem, but the investors we contacted these past few days don't have faith in us!"
"Sigh!"
Sighs echoed repeatedly; the feeling of hitting brick walls everywhere was too difficult.
After a long while, one person looked at Cai Zong:
"Lao Cai, 'Protect Grapefruit' was developed by Xingyi Technology. Their Chairman Wang is also from Jizhou, your fellow townsman..."
Lao Cai's eyes lit up:
"You mean... you want me to find Chairman Wang for investment?"
"Exactly! Chairman Wang has a vast enterprise. Meiyou makes so much money every day; even a little bit thrown our way would be enough!"
Others also agreed:
"This is not a problem. Just based on the fellow townsman relationship, he won't refuse. We don't need much; even 1 million yuan would be enough for us to survive and create 'Honkai Academy'!"
"Chairman Wang, who can create a phenomenal hit game like 'Protect Grapefruit,' must understand games. He will definitely understand and support miHoYo's philosophy."
Lao Cai nodded:
"Makes sense. Especially Meiyou's 'pure desire' style, it aligns well with miHoYo's culture. Chairman Wang should be one of us!"
"More importantly, Xingyi Technology has boundless prospects. If Chairman Wang becomes our investor, we'll be hitching our wagon to Xingyi Technology, which will greatly benefit miHoYo's future development!"
"Furthermore, Chairman Wang is also going to make Xingyi Phones, with 30 million chip orders at once, meaning at least 30 million phones."
"If Chairman Wang becomes our shareholder, then in the future, our miHoYo games can be directly promoted in the Xingyi Phone App Store, or even built-in. Wouldn't that instantly give us 30 million downloads?"
"Holy crap! You guys are too shrewd!"
Cai Zong was shocked, then incredibly excited:
"This really works! As long as Chairman Wang is willing to invest, with Chairman Wang's funds and resources, as long as our games are good, they're bound to be a huge hit!"
"Exactly, Chairman Wang can give us more than just funds, more importantly, resources!"
"Without Chairman Wang, without Meiyou's 50 million user base, 'Protect Grapefruit' wouldn't have achieved 50 million sales in three days, let alone 200 million revenue in three days!"
"Right, if Chairman Wang becomes a shareholder of miHoYo, our games can also have Meiyou's 50 million users! At that time, a Meiyou APP promotion means 50 million traffic!"
"No, by next year, Meiyou's user count will be even higher, likely exceeding 100 million!"
Listening to everyone's words, Cai Zong was excited:
"You're right, whether for funds or resources, we must get Chairman Wang to invest in miHoYo! Any objections?"
"No objections!"
"Two hands in favor!"
"Absolutely in favor!"
Cai Zong nodded:
"Good, tomorrow I'll go to the Imperial Capital to find Chairman Wang! Next, the second question: how much investment do we need? How many shares do we give?"
"This..."
For a moment, the four fell silent.
Currently, miHoYo was just a team on the verge of bankruptcy with no outstanding achievements.
And Wang Yi? Chairman of Xingyi Technology, he had money to spare, able to produce hundreds of millions.
He had resources, with a wave of Meiyou APP promotion equating to tens of millions in traffic.
He also had users.
The two sides' positions were completely unequal, with no room for negotiation.
"How about this, let's ask for 1 million yuan in investment and give 15% of the shares. What do you think?"
Cai Zong suggested.
The three thought for a moment, then spoke up:
"That works. If we ask for too much, we'll have to give more shares, and once we're majority-controlled, we'll be in trouble."
"Yes, 1 million yuan is enough for us to make 'Honkai Academy.'"
"Then let's aim for 1 million, 15% of the shares is acceptable."
"I hope Chairman Wang agrees. miHoYo's fate rests entirely on Chairman Wang's attitude."
Cai Zong took a deep breath:
"Alright, tomorrow, the four of us will go to the Imperial Capital together to find Chairman Wang."
"Good!"
"Everyone go to bed quickly. Whether we succeed or not depends on tomorrow."
The four lay down, but still couldn't sleep.
People kept tossing and turning.
The next morning, someone spoke:
"Are you awake? Guys?"
"Awake."
"I'm awake too, where's Lao Cai?"
"I didn't sleep at all."
"..."
"Let's go, to the high-speed rail station!"
"Go!"
After washing up, the four packed their things and rushed to the high-speed rail station.
Unbeknownst to them, their actions today would change the fate of miHoYo, and also the fate of the game industry in Huaxia.
Xingyi Science and Technology Park.
After breakfast at the cafeteria, Wang Yi opened Weibo.
The trending topic for "Protect Grapefruit" was still at the top of the hot search list, unmoving.
There was no way around it; the game was too popular and free, its popularity grew higher and higher, so it naturally stayed on the hot search list.
Leveraging the hot search effect, overnight, "Protect Grapefruit" gained another six million users, with total users surpassing 59 million.
It was only a few hundred thousand users shy of the 60 million mark.
Revenue also increased by over 20 million.
A proper cash cow.
At this moment, Jian Ziyan also came over with her meal:
"Good morning, boss!"
"Good morning."
Wang Yi nodded, then looked up, somewhat surprised:
"Not bad, not bad, eat more."
Jian Ziyan's face instantly darkened: "..."
'What does that mean? Does he think I eat too much?'
Jian Ziyan looked down at the food in her hands:
Three fried dough sticks, a bowl of tofu pudding, two scallion pancakes, a chicken leg, and a plate of green vegetables.
Then she looked at the meal of the male colleague next to her, which seemed even less than hers, and felt a little embarrassed:
"It does seem like a lot!"
Wang Yi smiled:
"Eating more is good. You have such a good figure, no need to diet."
"Oh."
Jian Ziyan nodded, somewhat surprised:
"That's strange, my appetite used to be very small, I couldn't even eat half of this. Why has my appetite grown so much now? And I'm not gaining weight?"
Wang Yi: "..."
"It seems my appetite has grown a lot since joining Xingyi Technology. What's going on?"
Jian Ziyan ate and pondered, completely unable to figure it out.
It wasn't until a long while later that she exclaimed:
"I know! It's because I'm tired, my workload is heavy!"
Wang Yi: "..."
"That's right, that's exactly it. When you're not in the company, I manage everything at Xingyi Technology, running around the entire park every day, dealing with this, coordinating that. The number of steps I walk in a day is more than I walked in a week at school."
Wang Yi smiled:
"That should be it, so you need to eat more."
She used to walk less than 500 steps a day at school, but as Wang Yi's secretary, she walked at least 20,000 steps a day.
Plus the mental exertion, the consumption was greater, so she naturally ate more.
"Indeed, being a secretary is actually physical labor!"
Jian Ziyan exclaimed with emotion.
Wang Yi smiled slightly:
"Life lies in exercise. You don't even need to go to the gym this way, absolutely healthy."
"Yes, I wondered why I got thinner after starting this job."
Jian Ziyan said, looking down at her front:
"It's all smaller."
Wang Yi: "..."
'Ziyan, you really don't treat me as an outsider!'
Jian Ziyan also realized something was amiss, and her fair cheeks turned crimson.
Wang Yi let out a soft laugh, changing the subject:
"Ziyan, recruit some game development engineers as soon as possible and establish a Xingyi Game Department in the Imperial Capital."
"Okay, boss. With 'Protect Grapefruit' being so successful, we should seize the victory and continue to make a second generation!"
Jian Ziyan strongly agreed.
"Protect Grapefruit" was a massive hit, and this IP was so formidable, not making a second generation would be a waste.
Wang Yi, however, waved his hand:
"Subsequent updates for 'Protect Grapefruit' and its second generation will continue to be handled by the Jizhou game department. As for the Imperial Capital game department, it needs to develop new games."
When "Protect Grapefruit"'s revenue declined a year later, they would start launching "Protect Grapefruit 2."
Tower defense games were enduring and suitable for all ages.
Even ten years later, many people still played this series.
In the previous life, "Protect Radish 4," launched in 2022, had over 10 million pre-orders on the iOS platform on its first day.
Even if the fourth generation was rehashing old ideas and didn't perform excellently, its revenue was still good.
Subsequently, "Protect Grapefruit" second generation, third generation, and fourth generation would be continuously launched.
However, Xingyi Games could not just make this one series; it would continuously launch other games.
For example, "Happy Elimination" was very good.
After the new game department was established and developed this game, it could be launched next year.
Also, "2048," "Tiantian Ku Pao," "Boom Beach," and similar games could all be made.
Of course, "Tiantian Ku Pao" relied on WeChat and QQ for promotion, but Wang Yi could also rely on Meiyou and Xingyi Phones for promotion.
Meiyou also had social attributes, and the Xingyi Phone App Store and pre-installed games on Xingyi Phones were all Wang Yi's resources.
All could be used to promote his own games.
In these years, with weak smartphone hardware, it was the era of such casual games.
A few years later, when smartphone hardware improved, it would be the era of games like "PUBG Mobile," "Honor of Kings," and "Genshin Impact."
Xingyi Games, along with Meiyou, Zhenyou Apparel, cosmetics, and the upcoming Xingyi Phones and Meiyou Novels, would all be pillar industries of Xingyi Technology!
Wang Yi would continuously invest and develop them.
"Okay, boss, I'll arrange it right away!"
Wang Yi nodded, then changed the subject:
"Also, for the baseband department, have someone prepare. Tomorrow, WiLink's baseband R&D personnel will come from Taiwan to the Imperial Capital. They will work here in the Imperial Capital from now on; make sure their accommodation is arranged."
"Don't worry, boss, I've arranged everything."
Jian Ziyan took out her phone:
"Boss, look, this apartment building in the science park used to be dorms. Last month, I had people completely renovate it, put up wallpaper, replaced new beds and cabinets, transforming them into single apartments for those baseband R&D elites."
"The R&D elites from Texas Instruments are also arranged this way."
"Very good, well done."
Fortunately, there were many office buildings in the acquired science park, many of which were vacant.
Now, with the expansion of new businesses and the relocation of new departments, they were gradually being put into use.
"Oh, by the way, boss, there's another major matter."
Jian Ziyan took out some documents from her bag:
"The renovation company for your villa has been found. They are very capable and can have six renovation teams working simultaneously. The five-story villa + garden will have one renovation team per section, proceeding in parallel. These are their documents; they are responsible for many official renovations."
Wang Yi flipped through the documents and nodded:
"Alright, let's go with them."
"Good."
Jian Ziyan agreed:
"Everything has been discussed with them, they can start anytime. Do you want to find a master to pick an auspicious day for the start of construction?"
"Do I also have to sacrifice chickens and offer tributes?"
Wang Yi laughed; he didn't believe in these things:
"No need for such trouble, you just arrange it."
"Oh, boss is different from others."
Jian Ziyan mumbled.
She had met many entrepreneurs who were very particular.
Before starting work, they'd invite masters, check feng shui, offer sacrifices, and some even went to the mountains to burn incense and worship Buddha...
There were also businesspeople who annually brought senior executives to worship mountains and welcome the God of Wealth...
But Wang Yi, surprisingly, didn't believe in any of it.
Wang Yi raised his hand and tapped Jian Ziyan's head:
"Believe less in these things. Instead of believing in that stuff, it's better to investigate whether the renovation company is reliable."
Compared to superstition and feng shui, Wang Yi believed more in people's hearts!
"Oh, got it."
Jian Ziyan nodded.
"By the way, how is the Meiyou Novels department? And how is Xiangwan Buwan doing recently?"
Recently, busy with business trips, inspecting supply chains, and acquiring CDMA, Wang Yi hadn't paid attention to Meiyou Novels.
"Don't worry, boss, Meiyou Novels has undergone a big change. Because of your 'Bole Plan' and generous rewards, the novel department, from top to bottom, has been aggressively poaching talent. Many capable editors, elite writers, and minor gods from Chunjiang Novel Network have been poached!"
Jian Ziyan excitedly beamed:
"Now, the Meiyou Novels department has twenty editors, and there are seven more in Jizhou, which is a large force. It feels like we don't need to recruit anymore."
For a female-oriented novel website, twenty editors were almost enough.
Meiyou Novels had twenty-seven editors, which was more than enough.
But Wang Yi refused:
"It's fine, keep recruiting! But only recruit experienced veteran editors, and those with elite author resources, to lead the resident writers!"
Unlike other websites, Meiyou Novels, in addition to contracted authors, also had resident writers and custom-commissioned works.
These custom-commissioned works were very demanding for editors.
Writing chapter outlines and beginnings required several experienced senior editors.
Responsible for assessing and signing writers also required senior editors.
Following daily readings, giving lectures, and guiding resident writers to revise and polish their works also required senior editors!
They still needed to recruit more.
"Editors for custom-commissioned works are performance-based. High performance means high income. Keep recruiting, it won't be a loss,"
Wang Yi smiled:
"As long as an editor's team produces one small S-tier hit, they've earned their keep!"
"Okay, then I'll continue recruiting."
Jian Ziyan responded:
"By the way, regarding Xiangwan Buwan, according to your requirements, we signed her. Editor-in-chief Ku Cha personally guides her, providing outlines, and she's currently writing a short story. I heard it's quite good."
"Good, I'll go check it out later."
After the meal, Wang Yi did not go directly to the novel department but returned to his office to find the short story written by Xiangwan Buwan.
The novel was not long, currently 50,000 words, and was being serialized on Meiyou Novels website.
It was also undergoing traffic testing on the Meiyou APP.
The reader engagement data and comments were very good, and it was internally rated A+.
Wang Yi opened it and read; he had to admit that Xiangwan Buwan's writing style, emotional resonance, and pacing were excellent.
What she lacked was plot control.
And this novel was a custom-commissioned work, with a chapter outline provided by an editor, which compensated for Xiangwan Buwan's plot weakness, unexpectedly leading to good results.
After the climax in the final 20,000 words, the quality of this book could ascend another level.
For such short stories, the ending was very important.
A good ending could elevate the story, reaching S-tier hit status.
A bad ending would ruin it, making it drop to a B-tier book, which was normal.
Subsequently, Wang Yi went to the novel department.
Indeed, there were many more editors and many more writers.
Wang Yi came to Editor-in-chief Ku Cha's office.
The door was open, and she was guiding Xiangwan Buwan:
"Buwan, there's a bug in this part, you need to revise it..."
"Yes, Great Ku Cha, I didn't even think of that. I need to change it..."
Wang Yi listened for a while, confirming that Xiangwan Buwan's writing style and pacing were indeed fine.
As long as the plot followed the outline without bugs, it would be stable.
"Good, go back and revise it slowly!"
Ku Cha said, then looked up and saw Wang Yi:
"Boss, you're here! I..."
"It's alright, you're guiding her very well."
Wang Yi smiled slightly:
"This must be Xiangwan Buwan, right?"
"Yes, this child is good. Apart from a weak plot, she has no other shortcomings."
Xiangwan Buwan stuck out her tongue, then looked at Wang Yi, her beautiful eyes shimmering:
"Boss, thank you for recruiting me and giving me a 20 yuan per thousand characters buyout. Thank you."
Saying this, Xiangwan Buwan bowed to Wang Yi.
She knew the whole story: it was Wang Yi who valued her and specially recruited her, solving her livelihood problem.
With other editors, her weak plot would have been a death sentence, making it impossible to cultivate her, let alone offer 20 yuan per thousand characters.
But for Wang Yi, such a writer was better, perfectly suited for writing custom-commissioned works.
Wang Yi walked over and patted her on the shoulder:
"Work hard, finish the final ending as soon as possible. If you write it well, I'll give you another long novel at 50 yuan per thousand characters!"
"50 yuan per thousand characters, a long novel!"
Xiangwan Buwan was completely stunned:
"Boss, pinch me, I'm not dreaming, am I? Can a small flop like me have such treatment?"
"Hahaha."
Wang Yi laughed:
"As long as you write well, 50 yuan per thousand characters is just the starting point. It's not a problem to increase to 100 yuan per thousand characters later. But if you don't write well, then I'm sorry, I can only cultivate others."
"You're not allowed to cultivate others, I can write well, I will definitely write well! You cultivate me!"
Xiangwan Buwan regretted it as soon as she finished speaking, her face flushing crimson.
In her excitement, she blurted out her true feelings.
Now she was in big trouble; would the boss think she was a bad person?
Unexpectedly, Wang Yi smiled slightly:
"I like ambitious people, but capability must match ambition. Work hard, finish the ending, and then I'll consider whether to give you a long novel that can become a big hit!"
"Okay, boss, I definitely can!"
Xiangwan Buwan said, then turned and left.
The last 20,000 words, she would finish in two days, she must write them well and secure the 50 yuan per thousand characters!
Writing was her only way out; she really didn't want to go back to washing dishes at the restaurant!
Wang Yi looked at Ku Cha:
"How do you feel?"
Ku Cha sighed:
"Give her an A-tier outline, and she can write an A-tier work. Give her an S-tier outline, and she can also write an S-tier hit. She has writing skill to spare, but lacks plot, so she can only write custom-commissioned works. What a pity! Sigh!"
"No pity, it's just right."
Wang Yi smiled slightly; this was exactly the kind of person needed.
If she were an all-rounder, once "Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation" became a hit, she would definitely think she was amazing, that it was all her own credit, and might even breach her contract and jump ship.
Before leaving, she might even write a short essay, tearing into Wang Yi and Meiyou!
But Xiangwan Buwan was different.
This kind of "plot-deficient" writer had a good sense of self-awareness.
No matter how successful "Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation" became, she knew it was thanks to the outline Wang Yi provided, not her own merit.
She wouldn't dare to jump ship, as she was plot-deficient; without Wang Yi's outline, anything she wrote on her own would be trash, difficult to even get a contract!
"When she finishes the ending, send it to me. If it's good, directly sign a long-term contract with her, a high-priced twenty-year contract."
Wang Yi said calmly.
This way, when "Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation" becomes popular next month, Meiyou Novels can be officially launched.
Releasing "Protect Grapefruit" in the middle of this month, and promoting "Meiyou Novels" in the middle of next month, was just right.
"Okay, boss."
Ku Cha noted it down.
"By the way, are there any other promising talents or popular books?"
Wang Yi changed the subject.
"Yes!"
Ku Cha opened her computer:
"Boss, look, these six books are written by the poached minor gods and elite authors. They are currently all A+, with potential to become small S-tier hits."
"These three books are written by the poached mid-tier gods. They come with their own fan base and traffic and are internally rated as small S-tier hits. Currently on the Meiyou APP, there are over 200,000 readers, and many people are posting discussions."
Wang Yi noted down the book titles:
"200,000+ free readers, not bad. After 50,000 words, start charging! Subscription data after charging is the only standard for verifying quality. In the future, S-tier books will charge at 50,000 words, A-tier books at 60,000 words, B-tier books at 70,000 words, and others at 80,000 words."
Female-oriented novels had fewer words, so they needed to go on shelves earlier.
"Okay, boss!"
Ku Cha agreed:
"In addition, there are more than twenty A-tier books, all very good, just with fewer words."
"At the studio, thirteen A-tier books have also been produced, with two having potential to reach S-tier."
Wang Yi nodded:
"Very good, pay close attention to these talented authors. Even if a book fails to reach S-tier, don't give up. Encourage them more; perhaps the next book will be S-tier."
"Yes, we will develop long-term."
Wang Yi nodded and left the novel department.
He suddenly received a call from Jian Ziyan:
"Boss, there are a few university students looking for you, saying they're from your hometown."
"Hometown folks?" Wang Yi was a little surprised.
"Yes, they say they make games, miHoYo..."
"miHoYo!"
Wang Yi smiled; the fishing was successful, miHoYo took the bait!
Earlier, Wang Yi had decided to intercept Mr. Song and invest in miHoYo.
But it was better for them to proactively seek him out than for Wang Yi to go to them.
So, Wang Yi did not rush to invest, but instead launched "Protect Grapefruit."
After "Protect Grapefruit" became a huge hit, miHoYo would definitely pay attention to this side.
Coupled with miHoYo's current situation, their first game a failure, at their wit's end, on the verge of bankruptcy, hitting brick walls everywhere seeking investment, they might just come looking for Wang Yi.
He didn't expect them to actually come, and so quickly!
"I understand. Arrange for them to go to the reception room; I'll be there shortly."
"Okay, boss."
Soon, Cai Zong and the other three were invited to the reception room.
Along the way, seeing the massive Xingyi Science and Technology Park, the four were filled with emotion.
After the assistant served coffee and left, they couldn't help but whisper:
"Online it says Chairman Wang bought this science park, spending nearly a billion yuan. He's really rich."
"Yes, indeed, also from Jizhou, Cai Zong, you must strive!"
Cai Zong was speechless: "..."
"You want me to compare myself to Chairman Wang? Are you crazy, or am I crazy?"
"Hahaha."
As they laughed, Wang Yi walked in, observing the four in front of him with a complex expression.
The desire to knife people arose again!
In his previous life, Old Huang had often ripped him off.
But Genshin Impact's gacha pulls also ripped him off quite a bit!
The more he wanted something, the less he got it.
The less he wanted, the more he got off-banner!
That mechanism, that probability... Wang Yi was utterly speechless.
This issue could not be resolved without 30% of the shares!
(End of chapter)
