Wind Rises 2005

Chapter 673 Who do you think you are?
"Jack, thank you very much for coming to China this time. Cheers to our cooperation!"

At the celebration dinner, Cheng Binghao was very excited. He raised his glass and once again welcomed Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey who had come specially for the event.

"Cheng, you are too polite. This cooperation is beneficial to both of us.

I can’t wait to see the future when League of Legends becomes the most profitable game in the world, as Marlon said.”

Jack Dorsey's trip to China was naturally arranged by Ma Liang in advance.

Since we are going to do it, we have to make it more famous. We finally got League of Legends out ahead of time, so we must do everything we can to create the best possible start.

This game will not only take Twitter and Kaixin.com's business to a new level, but will also bring Ma Liang's own wealth to a whole new level.

At that time, the game "League of Legends" will be the core, so as to attract more outstanding game studios to join.

In time, you will be able to build your own money-making empire.

If you have money, you can do more things.

With his current level of wealth, Ma Liang no longer needs to worry too much about managing specific businesses, but instead needs to think more from a strategic level about how to expand his business empire.

The early launch of the game "League of Legends" and the tying of Twitter and [Kaixin.com] into the same boat are definitely the most pleasant scenes for him as an investor.

It can not only make large sums of money, but also hide behind the scenes, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

And things developed as he planned. Once released, the game "League of Legends" became the most popular game product.

The global tournament's prize pool of tens of millions of dollars alone is enough to attract countless players to join in.

The national server public beta attracted a large number of domestic players to join almost overnight.

The number of newly registered players is calculated in millions, and if it is expanded to the global level, it may double.

Such a grand occasion has made gaming peers around the world envious.

Even several veteran gaming giants felt the tremendous performance pressure at this moment.

The birth of a strong game will inevitably take away a large piece of the market.

After all, the daily gaming time of players is limited. The more time they spend on other people's games, the less time they have left.

No gaming company wants to see strong products like "World of Warcraft" and "League of Legends" appear on the market.

If you must have one, it would be best if it is launched by your own company.

But unfortunately, wishes are always beautiful, but reality is always cruel.

It won’t be long before these veteran gaming giants in the industry realize that they have greatly underestimated the severity of the situation.

[Kaixin.com] and Twitter worked together to create publicity and promotion wave after wave.

Ma Liang, the instigator, finally finished his graduation thesis after staying up for several nights.

That day he excitedly went to report to the dean and received high praise from his mentor.

There will be no problem for him to get an A+ grade for his graduation thesis. He just needs to wait for the school to arrange a time for the defense and go through the motions.

Up to this point in my university studies, I have managed to complete it with great effort.

It may not seem like a big deal to others, but to Ma Liang himself, it was truly a torment.

After all, not everyone can afford to work hard for an ordinary bachelor's degree while having a fortune of billions and facing so many temptations every day.

But Ma Liang persevered, which gave him an explanation for his reborn college life.

Now that everything is done, I feel very happy and just want to have a good rest for two days.

He got in the car again and, under the escort of security personnel, drove straight to the city to meet the witch.

A few days after the Spring Festival, Liu Feifei couldn't wait any longer and took her grandmother back to the Magic City.

But because of this, her old villa is not suitable as a private meeting place for the two of them.

It just so happened that the assistant had picked out a few houses, and Ma Liang, who had nothing to do, wanted to take the girl to have a look.

More than half an hour later, the car successfully stopped under the new office building that Qingyan had rented before the Spring Festival.

As the business grew, the old villa of Yaonu could no longer meet the company's office needs.

We have only moved there for more than half a year, and we have to move again.

This is not a very new office building, but it is well maintained and it is not too cheap to rent here.

It is said that Ma Liang could definitely help by giving the witch a large sum of money so that she could rent a better place.

But he didn't even mention such words. After all, his little cutie was very strong-willed and he couldn't dampen her enthusiasm.

The business of Qingyan is booming, not because the witch is good at business.

On the one hand, Ma Liang’s suggestion was good, and on the other hand, Chun Chun just reaped the benefits of the times and caught up with the good time when the domestic beauty industry was developing by leaps and bounds.

Not only have all kinds of offline beauty and cosmetics stores sprung up everywhere, expanding sales channels by dozens or even hundreds of times, but the demand for beauty and cosmetics products in the online e-commerce market has also been growing year by year.

But the dividends of the times are there, and it’s not just the witch who sees and enjoys them. There are still countless competitors trying to grab the cake.

There are many smart people in this world, and just having foresight doesn't guarantee you will have the last laugh.

Therefore, every sales channel is extremely important, especially when e-commerce has not yet reached its peak, offline channels are the king of the market.

At this time, an uninvited guest came to Liu Feifei's office, and she did not dare to neglect him.

After all, the other party has a special identity, and one sentence may directly determine the sales growth rate of Qingyan Company in the coming year.

So even though she knew that the man had ulterior motives, she still received him politely.

"It's a nice day today, springtime and sunny, it's a shame to sit in the office.

Feifei, how about we go for a walk outside and find a roadside shop to have a cup of coffee?"

The person who was speaking was named Xie Zhihao. He had a gentle appearance, and was wearing a well-ironed suit and thin black-framed glasses, looking very gentlemanly.

At first glance, he definitely looks like a high-quality human male.

But Liu Feifei knew very well that this guy was not as harmless as he seemed. Not only was he very capable, but he was also extremely strong.

Otherwise, he would not have been promoted to the position of Vice President of Watsons Greater China at such a young age.

The most important thing is that this guy had been targeting her when she went to Watsons to discuss cooperation.

No matter how she tried to refuse, the other party kept pestering her.

Although Liu Feifei was very angry, she had not broken off relations with the other party because she was concerned about the other party's identity and was afraid of ruining the cooperation with Watsons.

Now that’s great, they’ve even come to the company.

Not only does it interfere with my work, but it also has a bad impact on the company if something like this happens.

So she gritted her teeth and refused righteously, "Mr. Xie, that's not necessary, you should drink the coffee by yourself.

I'm busy with work and can't entertain you.

If there is really nothing else, let’s make an appointment another day…”

"What business? Can it be more important than cooperating with us Watsons?" Xie Zhihao became unhappy when he heard this, and said half-threateningly.

As the vice president of Watsons Greater China, I have the confidence to say this.

If he wants to drink coffee, I wonder how many owners of beauty brands will take the initiative to come and accompany him and pay the bill.

He had always been flattered and praised by others, and had never suffered such a harsh rejection.

As a high-quality man, ordinary women were not in his eyes at all. But since he met Liu Feifei, he was instantly attracted to her.

I originally thought that with my identity and proactive approach, I would definitely win the other party's favor.

Unexpectedly, what he was greeted with was disgust. How could Xie Zhihao accept this, so he secretly threatened.

As the vice president of Watsons Greater China, he has the absolute power to terminate the group's cooperation with any beauty brand.

To withdraw the counters at will is no less than directly announcing a complete ban.

As a girl from Sichuan, Liu Feifei has always been soft-hearted and not hard-hearted. She got angry when she heard this: "Boss Xie, there's no need to be so sarcastic.

You and I are just work colleagues and we don't have any personal relationship, so there's no need for us to have coffee together.

What's more, the [Qingyan] products were put on Watsons shelves after going through layers of evaluation and review, and you said you don't want to cooperate, do you still have any business credibility?"

"Business reputation? How much is that worth?" Xie Zhihao smiled proudly and pretended to be so.

“We at Watsons also attach great importance to the personal qualities of brand founders.

If the other party doesn’t even have the sincerity to have a cup of coffee with me, then I doubt whether they can make good beauty products.

How can a small brand be worthy of cooperating with Watsons?"

Liu Feifei flew into a rage upon hearing this. She pointed at this guy and was so angry that she couldn't speak: "You..."

You know, she had to work very hard to pass the assessment in order to enter Watsons.

Who would have thought that I would have provoked such a scoundrel. He is like a dog-skin plaster. Not only can I not get rid of him, but he also makes me disgusted for no reason.

She made up her mind that she would never compromise with this guy, even if all the products were removed from the shelves.

Just when Xie Zhihao was feeling smug and thought he could control the beautiful girl founder, an angry voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Who the hell are you..."
