If the confession fails, then pursue her best friend

Chapter 293 The mastermind behind the scenes is revealed, Li Yuan wins

As Li Yuan began to organize online trolls to fight back, a large number of critical rebuttals appeared under almost every negative news post.

For example, in the "Game" section of the Qiandu forum,
The post that was originally pinned high on the top is [The terrible consequences of blindly chasing stars - on the harm caused by "King of Glory"! ]

The replies below are all criticism and rebuttal.

Xia Hua's little fangirl: "Which idiot posted this? Damn, what kind of retardation has our Xia Hua male god brought? Don't blame others for your poor performance..."

Game enthusiast: "Haha, I know it without you having to guess. This must be a dirty trick used by competitors. They can't compete with them in games, just like killing "Honor of Kings"? It's really very dirty! If I know which company did it, I swear, I will never play their games in my life."

I am not the Monkey King: "It is obvious that you are jealous of the popularity of the game "Honor of Kings" and you are slandering the male god Xia Hua. How shameless. I can give you a definite answer based on my ten years of gaming experience. The game "Honor of Kings" will definitely be an epoch-making and milestone game in the history of Chinese and even world games. The game quality, game background, game design, character modeling and other aspects can all be rated S... Dear netizens, don't miss it if you pass by, this game is worth playing..."

Yindang Gongzi: "Didn't you read the background introduction of the game "Honor of Kings"? It is worthy of being written by Xia Hua, the male god who wrote "Battle of the Stars". If this background story alone is unfolded, it will be a great work, not inferior to "Battle of the Stars" in the slightest. In terms of conception and playability, it is no less than a hundred times better than those other rubbish online games... All those who slander "Honor of Kings" and slander Xia Hua are definitely rubbish who can't stand seeing others do well..."

Xia Hua's number one fangirl: "Sisters, follow me and beat these hateful guys to pieces. What right do they have to slander my Xia Hua male god?"

The little girl from Xia Hua's family (Baby Daji): "These people are so abominable. They want to slander such a fun game. I, who never play games, have been attracted to it..."

……

After Li Yuan took action, it quickly caused a huge stir on major websites and platforms.

After the water army, Li Yuan was followed by the crazy pursuit of a huge number of fans across the country.

Especially those fanatical female fans, who rarely played games before, began to flock to the game in large numbers after the launch of "Honor of Kings". Then they were deeply attracted by the various beautiful female heroes, interesting lines, and highly playable game modes...

During the Spring Festival holiday, their power was even greater. After someone suggested to cheer for Xia Hua, the male god, and took the lead in recharging, a strong recharging trend quickly arose...

On January 1, the third day of the Chinese New Year, the recharge turnover of "Honor of Kings" exceeded 28 million in just half a day, and as the online war of words fermented, it became more and more intense...

In the company, Li Yuan looked at the sales data in the background and the various increasingly intense comments, with a slight smile on his face.

His guess turned out to be correct. After arranging the water army to lead the charge, a large number of fans joined the battle, making "Honor of Kings" a huge hit and occupying the front page headlines of various news websites...

Things like "historical nihilism", "sexual innuendo", "bloody violence" and so on have also been overshadowed by the rebuttals of many fans.

Just like the original "King of Glory", some competitors even invited university professors and experts to criticize, saying that history was distorted, but Lao Ma still went his own way, making no sense at all...

This is essentially just a game and cannot rise to such high heights.

What's more, Li Yuan has also consulted with the authorities. You know, based on the popularity of "Honor of Kings", the taxes paid to the Shanghai Municipal Government in the past few days alone are in the hundreds of millions.

Last night, he also prepared generous gifts and visited Ma Tengfei, the executive vice president of Daxia University.

After Li Yuan explained his purpose, Ma Tengfei just smiled and replied.

"Leave it to me. Just do it with confidence and don't make any ideological or political mistakes."

Just this sentence,

Li Yuan felt very relieved.

Using historical figures as heroes in games is not a problem in the eyes of powerful leaders like Ma Tengfei...

Li Yuan looked at Tan Zhonghua, who had come all the way from his hometown yesterday afternoon, and asked:

"Old Tan, have you found out? Who released this negative news?"

Tan Zhonghua had a tired look on his face. From yesterday noon to this morning, he hardly slept a wink as he was busy arranging people to investigate the sources of the negative news.

"Boss, the clues haven't been completely confirmed yet, but we have already locked onto several game companies."

Li Yuan: "Oh, which ones?"

Tan Zhonghua: "According to the information we have obtained, it may be Tengxun, Wangyi, Shengda, and Jinshan game companies. We are still unable to determine which one it is."

Li Yuan nodded.

Given the current size of "Honor of Kings" and its momentum of development, these game companies that occupy half of the game industry are definitely the most likely to take action.

Because, as long as you have a little vision, you can notice how great the potential and market of the game "Honor of Kings" is.

Now, during the Spring Festival holiday, the average daily marketing revenue is over 100 million. What does this mean?
Excluding R&D costs, operating costs, taxes, etc., the net profit is at least over 80%, which is a huge profit, faster than printing money...

It would be strange if these game companies were not jealous and took shady actions!
No one is willing to give up online games, a huge market with a capacity of hundreds of billions...

Li Yuan's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice: "Keep investigating, I want to know the exact result."

Hearing Li Yuan's cold voice, Tan Zhonghua's heart shuddered and he sensed a hint of murderous intent in the air. Knowing that Li Yuan was in a bad mood, he quickly nodded in agreement.

"Boss, don't worry, I will find out as soon as possible."

"Well! Go ahead!" Li Yuan replied indifferently. He was indeed in a bad mood.

This was the first time he encountered commercial competition methods since his rebirth, and it was such a despicable method.

Even if they bring out products to compete, I can still look up to them...

"Wang Yi, Teng Xun, Sheng Da, Jin Shan?" Li Yuan muttered to himself, with a confused look in his eyes.

Of course, he knew Tengxun very well. Wangyi had also cooperated with him in copyright transactions. The price of more than 4000 million yuan seemed insignificant now and it was a bit of a loss.

Now, the net profit brought by "Honor of Kings" every day is more than 4000 million...

Even after the boom period, when the cooling-off period comes, the daily sales will still have to be at least tens of millions, and will last for a very long time.

He is working on a plan and is preparing to take out a large sum of money as a reward to the development team of "Honor of Kings" after the Chinese New Year when all employees return to work.

The reward amount for each person must be at least in the six-digit level, and the reward level for some core backbones may reach the seven-digit level.

"Teng Xun, Lao Ma, if it was really you who did it, then maybe I'll have to fight with you. Originally, I didn't want to launch that thing." Li Yuan murmured to himself, hesitating in his heart.

Should we launch WeChat, this killer weapon?

Now, QQ has become the dominant player and other online communication software cannot put any pressure on QQ.

What he was hesitant about was whether, even if he developed "WeChat", he could really beat QQ.

If you can't beat QQ, then all your efforts will be in vain.

If they can win, it will be very convenient for future development... "However, developing WeChat doesn't cost much money, so you can consider developing it first and then fight with Lao Ma."

"If I lose, I'll let him buy it. Besides, with my influence and strength, I won't necessarily lose."

"I remember that WeChat was only launched in 2011. At that time, smartphones had already become popular. I still had time."

"In addition, there was also the battle between Tengxun and 360, which also caused a lot of controversy and both sides suffered losses..."

Thinking of smartphones, Li Yuan was hesitant about whether to get involved in this industry.

His energy is limited, and he can't take part in everything.
Smartphones, new energy vehicles, short videos, food delivery, e-commerce, etc. You can only choose one or two to do...

He hasn't thought clearly about which specific options to choose, and he is also hesitating whether to continue starting his own business or just lay low and become an angel investor?
Investing and starting a business are really not the same level of difficulty, and the time and energy required are also completely different.

Just like now, he only has a few industries, but they have exhausted him physically and mentally. They take up a lot of his time and he can't enjoy life at all.

I didn't enjoy any private jets, luxury yachts, holiday estates, or private customization.

Even his beautiful girlfriends don't have enough time to spend with him...

I have so much money that I can’t spend it all. Is it necessary to continue starting a business?

Li Yuan was very hesitant.

He is not like many of the reborn people who have such great ambitions to become the richest man in the country or even the world, to develop technology and change the world.

I just want to make up for the regrets of my previous life and enjoy life. I want to enjoy myself more, have more girlfriends, have more children, have more children, and continue the family line...

This kind of life now is pretty good and meets his psychological expectations.

If starting a business takes up all your time, it would be a bit annoying.

However, Zhihu.com, "Cha Yan Yue Se" and "Honor of Kings" are obviously not enough for him to have enough weight. He must leave enough assets for his descendants...

"What industry should we develop and invest in next?" Li Yuan was also hesitant.

……

In China, Yangcheng, the gaming department of a well-known company is having a heated discussion.

"What do you think of the current situation? King of Glory is gaining momentum, and the sales figures of several of our major games have dropped significantly. If this continues, we will soon be shut down."

"That guy Li Yuan is quite good at dealing with things. He is indeed a former online troll. As expected, many of our games have been attacked by those brainless fans."

"But the game 'Honor of Kings' is really too powerful. According to the inside information I got, the number of registered users of this game has reached 6000 million, and the number of new users is increasing by millions every day. It is estimated that in less than a month, it will reach our total number of registered users..."

"How should we deal with this now? Since we have already taken action, we can't just give up halfway and watch our users being snatched away by King of Glory... Old You, you have worked with Li Yuan before, what do you think of this matter?"

You Wenxuan frowned, thinking about the various experiences since cooperating with Li Yuan, looked at the company's senior directors present, and suggested:

"I think it's meaningless to continue targeting him. Although Li Yuan is young, based on my experience with him, he is not a pushover. He has his own ideas and can be described as a true genius."

"When dealing with geniuses, it's not good to win or lose. If I make a mistake, it will cause me a great enemy, which will be troublesome in the future."

"Besides, our game 'Battle of the Stars' is still under development, and we still need to continue cooperating with him. It's not appropriate to make the relationship too awkward."

The company's big boss frowned, as if thinking about You Wenxuan's words.

"Lao Zhang, are all these negative news caused by you?"

"I didn't say that at the time. I just wanted you to test it out. How did it evolve into this scale now, attracting the attention and discussion of the whole nation?"

Lao Zhang is the head of the game strategy department. He seemed displeased when he heard what the big boss said and hurried to explain.

"President Qin, according to my understanding, in addition to our company, Shengda and Tengxun have also taken action. They are more anxious than us. We have our own base. Although "Honor of Kings" is coming with great momentum, it does not have such a big impact on us. But it is different for them..."

Director Qin nodded and frowned, saying, "The public opinion on the Internet is getting more and more intense. Li Yuan's fans are like crazy, biting us like crazy. This will have a great impact on our brand image."

"Old Zhang, please make some arrangements to divert the blame to Teng Xun. They have a big family and a big business, let them resist the attacks of Li Yuan's crazy fans..."

Lao Zhang's eyes lit up and his brain worked rapidly. He immediately realized that this was a good way to solve the problem.

"Boss Qin, don't worry, I'll arrange it right away!"

……

Time passed in the blink of an eye and it was already the 29th.

From the first day to the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, after three days of fermentation, there were also several behind-the-scenes forces pushing it forward.

Online, the discussion about "Honor of Kings" quickly reached a peak...

With the efforts of the online water army and a large number of fans joining in to support, almost all the negative news has turned into counterattacks.

The attack and fighting power of the fan base that has initially formed a "fan circle" is unquestionable. Even Li Yuan was a little scared when he saw it and felt it was incredible.

Sometimes, he doesn’t understand why those “fan circles” exist, but when he becomes the beneficiary of the “fan circles”, it feels really good.

There is no need to show up in person, just provide secret guidance and there will be a large number of loyal fans charging into battle and cheering for them.

Among these fans, female fans are the majority and their fighting power is even stronger.

……

Xinghewan single-family villa,
In the early morning, Li Yuangang played a friendly match with Zhong Tingyue, drank milk and soy milk, and ate steamed buns and fried dough sticks.

I was awakened by a phone call from Tan Zhonghua.

"Boss, we have found out that there are three main companies targeting our company this time. They are Tengxun, Wangyi, and Shengda. Now Wangyi and Shengda have withdrawn, and only Tengxun is still continuing..."

"Boss, what should we do now?"

Although he had expected this, Li Yuan still frowned when he heard the exact news.

Teng Xun is not easy to deal with!
