Reborn: Billionaire in College

"It's actually game science. This is interesting." Chen Pingjiang showed a playful smile.

Today, he no longer cares about how much he earns. His mentality is somewhat similar to that of Boss Ma who once shouted “I don’t care about money”.

He seeks success, glory and many other reasons.

In terms of the speed of making money, "Black Myth Wukong" certainly cannot be compared with DNF, but it is popular!
Relying on Chinese classical mythology combined with games, we have exported our culture overseas in a strong way.

This is what Chen Pingjiang is more interested in.

Some people also described "Black Myth: Wukong" as the first college student in the village and the first domestically produced 3A masterpiece.

The game created a trend when it was launched, and even Chen Pingjiang, who didn't play stand-alone games, couldn't help but buy a set to try it out.

Unfortunately, I didn’t like the fighting and killing in soul-based games, and I was also dizzy by 3D. I ended up playing with a big-headed doll for the entire night and hastily ended my journey in "Black Myth: Wukong".

"What's the name of the head of game science?"

Xu Rui opened his notebook and checked it, then answered, "Feng Ji!"

Chen Pingjiang asked curiously, "It's just a small matter of poaching a few people. Why is Tian Hongrui asking me about this? Is he having some difficulties?"

Xu Rui nodded: "Boss Tian wants to recruit these people to set up a separate studio. But Feng Ji and others want to start their own business and at most accept a small part of the investment from Renren.com. Boss Tian flew to Shenzhen for this matter before, but it seems that the discussion did not reach an agreement."

"Well, you ask Lao Tian to come up, and I'll ask him myself."

About ten minutes later, Tian Hongrui put down his work and hurried over.

"Boss Chen, believe me, these people are definitely good at making games."

Chen Pingjiang asked with great interest: "How do you know Feng Ji? Your hand is too long, almost reaching into Tencent's pocket. You know, we have a good relationship with Tencent."

Tian Hongrui smiled and said, "The gaming community is so small, and I've been doing this for so many years, so it's normal for me to know a few people. All of their founding team members are from Tencent, mainly from PC and mobile game projects such as "God of War", "Dragon in the Sky", "QQ China", and "Air Wars". I didn't poach them before because of their good relationship with Tencent. Now that they've resigned, isn't this a good time? The problem is that these people, having left big companies, don't want to be bound by them anymore. I need the authority to talk to them now."

Chen Pingjiang made the decision without even thinking twice.

"Well, you will have full authority to negotiate with the other party on my behalf. Respect all decisions of the other party, and invest other resources of Renren.com when necessary. In principle, we are only making a pure financial investment, and there is no upper limit on the amount. It doesn't matter whether we have a controlling stake or not." Chen Pingjiang advised: "Don't force them to drink water. Since they don't want to work for others anymore, then respect their choice. After all, the final performance will still be yours, Old Tian."

Chen Pingjiang said earnestly: "Renren's game territory is constantly expanding. We have a lot of projects on hand and several game production studios. There is no need to do everything by ourselves. Learn to be tolerant when necessary."

Tian Hongrui was somewhat shocked by the conditions proposed by Chen Pingjiang.

"Mr. Chen, are the conditions too generous?"

"That's for your old Tian's sake."

Tian Hongrui was very moved by this sentence, and he patted his chest and said, "Okay, I will fly to Shenzhen again this afternoon and try to finalize this matter."

After seeing Tian Hongrui off, Chen Pingjiang felt a surge of evil taste in his heart.

Before I knew it, I had started playing the collecting game.

It feels pretty good to collect celebrities and good projects.

"Xu Rui, let Gao Songbin go to the meeting with the brokerage representatives. Just say I'm not feeling well and I'm going to take a nap. Call me when you have the video conference with AutoNavi this afternoon."

Taking advantage of the free time, Chen Pingjiang had a good sleep, and when he woke up, it was already time for dinner.

Xu Rui had already gone to the cafeteria to get five dishes and a soup and placed them on his desk, still warm. Chen Pingjiang really didn't need to meet with a few small brokerage representatives. Gao Songbin would be enough. It was nothing more than bargaining.

When Renren went public, Chen Pingjiang did not have many chips to bargain with securities firms.

But the times are different now. Not to mention that Chen Pingjiang has become more powerful, even Renrengou itself is attractive enough to securities companies.

"Tell me, one by one, have there been any changes in the taxi market in the past month?"

Chen Pingjiang looked at the three screens in front of him, on which were the three heads of Gaode.

Cheng Wei said: "The fundamentals haven't changed much. We were a little hesitant in the early days of Uber's subsidies, but now it has stabilized a lot and gradually formed a balance, which has resolved many of Uber's offensives and left them at their wits' end. This is mainly due to our technological updates and the launch of Express Hitch."

"We have to mention ride-sharing here. It has been very effective since it went online. It has greatly solved the problem of insufficient transportation capacity, and at the same time it can also allow drivers to earn more income, and the previous pain points have also been solved."

The pain point that Cheng Wei mentioned is the problem of cross-regional transportation.

When there were no ride-sharing services, travelers could only take trains, planes or long-distance buses to go to other cities. Now there are new options.

Drivers are also willing to pick up a passenger along the way as a subsidy for tolls and fuel costs.

Everyone is happy.

The ride-sharing program was well received once it was launched, catching Uber off guard.

Lü Chuanwei smiled and said, "Our headquarters in Singapore has been put into operation. The team has been initially established. We have started the marketing campaign and the progress is good. According to your instructions, we will first create momentum and put pressure on Uber. We have booked all the bus and elevator advertisements in Singapore and put them in large quantities to create a tense situation."

Chen Pingjiang nodded: "That's enough, we'll take our time. The opponent is not weak either. After all, it's a cross-regional travel giant. It's hard for anyone to defeat the opponent in one blow. As long as we can maintain the stalemate, we will win."

As long as the stalemate continues, Uber will not be able to bear the losses and will inevitably give up entering the Chinese market. That will be Chen Pingjiang's time to reap the rewards.

Cheng Congwu said casually: "Mr. Chen, if Uber withdraws from the Chinese market and is willing to merge with us to form a new company, do we agree?"

Chen Pingjiang raised his eyebrows and shook his head slowly.

"disagree!"

Agreed!

Today's AutoNavi is different from Didi back then. Didi can no longer afford the subsidies and has to choose to make peace with Uber.

But Chen Pingjiang doesn't have this worry.

Since they knew that Uber couldn't survive, why did they dilute their own shares and absorb Uber?

Does Uber really have any real assets?
Not even a hair!

Are there any core technologies?

nor.

Some are just registered users and drivers.

But Chen Pingjiang was not in a hurry.

Once Uber can no longer hold on and retreats, these people can only throw themselves into the arms of Gaode. (End of this chapter)
