Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

"Because Xinghuo has a good reputation."

This statement is actually quite ridiculous. Because Spark has a good reputation, Spark wouldn't plagiarize.

But it's such a bullshit logic.

However, it received unanimous approval from within Tencent.

but now.

Spark, however, bought shares in Giant Bird Duoduo.

Although, at this point, Giant Bird Duoduo has become an empty shell company.

However, if Xinghuo were to buy the shares, it would be tantamount to giving Xinghuo a weak claim.

If Xinghuo were to bring Yuan Shouqing over as well.

That could really cause problems.

Zou Huaide was very nervous at this moment.

“Spark will definitely be working on an auto chess project. Yuan Shouqing will definitely sell his shares, and he might even join Spark. We need to speed things up.”

Zou Huaide's willingness to sell the project as a package indicates that he came prepared.

Two days ago, he had already copied out all the company's project files.

At this time, the Penguin development team was already reworking the game.

To facilitate a quick and independent release, Tencent adopted the framework of Honor of Kings.

On the one hand, the framework is completely in Tencent's own hands, and on the other hand, it's also for convenience.

At the speed of penguins.

It will take at most a month to release an independent dual-platform game.

Zou Huaide hadn't thought anything of it before.

But now that Xinghuo has arrived, he is a little afraid.

Li Weixi, however, did not seem to take this matter too seriously.

His tone was also quite relaxed.

"Spark's move was indeed quite unexpected. We can discuss it, but we don't need to go overboard."

"So what if Spark gets shares in Giant Bird Studio?"

"If they dare to do it, we can still sue them for plagiarism."

He Shen, the person in charge of Tianmei, also expressed his opinion.

"I think Xinghuo is just putting on a brave face right now. In the end, the Auto Chess IP is with us. Rather than saying this is Yuan Shouqing's futile struggle, it is more like President Lin's intimidation."

"Even if Spark really does make an auto chess game, they can't just copy our gameplay completely. And once the gameplay changes, who can guarantee that auto chess will still be popular?"

Strange to say.

In the past, penguins were the least concerned about copyright, but now that they have acquired the copyright, they have started wielding the big stick.

Moreover, when facing sparks.

They seem to genuinely believe that, given Xinghuo's current reputation, it's impossible for them to actually get involved.

This mindset is really subtle.

Chapter 254 Difficult to handle? Then...

Therefore, when the senior executives in the conference room heard the word "intimidation,"

Suddenly it all became clear.

Ma Xiao repeated the word.

"intimidate."

His expression was calm, and it was hard to tell what it meant.

"Whether it's intimidation or not is not important. The most important thing is whether Xinghuo can pose a threat to us if it starts from scratch and creates its own auto chess game?"

Yao Xiaodong then spoke up.

“If it were someone else, I would agree with He Shen, but if it were Lin Li or Xinghuo, I have to say that it’s really not certain. Everyone should respect Xinghuo’s research and development capabilities.”

Yao Xiaodong can now be considered a breath of fresh air in the entire Tencent Games ecosystem.

this time.

He has been advocating the "spark threat" theory.

It wasn't that he changed his ways, but rather that only by exaggerating the strength of the enemy could he make his anime-style game studio appear less pathetic.

After being rebuked, He Shen could only helplessly shrug.

"Who's being disrespectful? I was almost home from get off work when I got the call and I rushed back immediately. How could I not respect Lin Li? I'm being incredibly respectful!"

He Shen's sarcastic remark drew laughter from the meeting room.

The suppressed emotions actually decreased considerably.

"Alright, Auto Chess is one of our core projects in the first half of this year. In the early stages of its development, we need to minimize trouble as much as possible."

After a long silence, Ma Xiao finally spoke.

For Ma Xiao...

In this version of Auto Chess, the pieces that defect and surrender at this time are no longer consumed like in the previous version.

Rather, it is a piece that can truly change the current state of Tencent Games.

Penguins today earn about the same amount of money as penguins in their past lives.

However, the competitive landscape is completely different.

In its previous life, the penguin was virtually invincible in the country.

Naturally, one should strive to maximize profits in everything.

Now, because of the competition from Spark.

They actually started eating more gracefully.

In addition, at this time, Penguin desperately needs a new game, a game with a new gameplay, as a new flagpole.

Different mindsets lead to different approaches.

The meeting lasted approximately two hours.

At 10 p.m., the penguin made two decisions.

One is to contact Xinghuo to try to communicate about the current data issues of "Auto Chess".

Secondly, we should immediately contact Yuan Shouqing, hoping to acquire the 30% stake he holds.

Yuan Shouqing finished the call in his office.

The instant the phone call ended.

He seemed to see Lin Li's figure flash before his eyes.

"Just wait and see. Once we release this announcement, Tencent will naturally be willing to pay. Then you can ask for an exorbitant amount. After all, Tencent's money isn't money."

So much so that Yuan Shouqing's first reaction was...

"How can it be so accurate?"

And then, right after that, it was...

"President Lin, you are truly a living Zhuge Liang."

As a native of Sichuan.

Before today, he had always been skeptical of the legends surrounding Zhuge Liang.

Is there really anyone who can come up with such a brilliant plan?

however.

At this moment.

But he had no choice but to believe it.

It's important to understand that at this point, Giant Bird's shares were completely useless to Penguin.

But they actually called to buy shares because of an announcement from Xinghuo.

It's really quite unbelievable.

The two parties discussed a price over the phone.

The next day, Zou Huaide even visited him in person.

That guy was crying his eyes out, apologizing and saying it was all for Auto Chess.

They even invited Yuan Shouqing to work at Tencent.

The two of them had a drink together.

The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves immensely, each making their own plans.

After his conversation with Lin Li, Yuan Shouqing finally understood.

Both sides were feigning affection.

The final price has been agreed upon.

at the same time.

~~~

At the same time that Zou Huaide went to Yuan Shouqing to buy shares.

On the penguin side.

Led by Ma Xiao himself, along with Li Weixi and other senior executives, they took an evening flight to Shanghai.

They also have another problem to solve.

This question concerns the data from Auto Chess.

The next morning.

The two sides quickly held a meeting.

"Oh my, Ms. Xiao, you actually came?"

Lin Li waved and smiled in the conference room.

Ma Xiao also had a smile on her face.

Looking at this scene alone, it's actually difficult to connect the conflict between Spark and the penguin.

“We’ve wanted to come for a while now, but we’ve been so busy. If you hadn’t issued an announcement, we really wouldn’t have remembered.”

The two exchanged pleasantries as they took their seats.

The matter to be discussed is actually quite simple.

So, the two exchanged a few pleasantries.

Li Weixi then explained the purpose of the visit on behalf of the penguins.

"President Lin, Auto Chess is very grateful for the support from the Spark platform. Zou Huaide even asked me to convey his thanks to you. I think we can actually continue this cooperation between Auto Chess and the Spark platform. Today, we at Tencent are here with great sincerity to discuss data. Anyway, Spark has no use for this data, so why not transfer it to us? This would be a great story for the Chinese game industry."

Lin Li didn't have a good impression of this person who immediately put a hat on him.

I asked it casually.

"Who is this?"

In fact, Li Weixi introduced himself as soon as he arrived, but since this was Xinghuo, Lin Li asked him this question.

He could only smile and repeat it again.

After hearing the reply, Lin Li smiled and nodded.
