Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

A conversation between someone and their assistant doesn't actually travel very far.

Unfortunately, just as Fu Mao said this, it happened during a brief moment when everyone was relatively quiet.

So everyone looked in the direction from which the sound came.

Let's see who's bold enough?

The floating cat had completely lost the smugness it had shown when it was mocking others, and saw a group of people looking over.

She immediately chickened out.

Without saying a word, he grabbed his bag, covered his face, and ran outside.

Lin Li frowned.

They also looked in the direction from which the sound came.

Then he saw a woman's back as she hurriedly ran towards the door, only to crash into the glass door with a loud thud.

A burst of laughter quickly erupted from the crowd.

Hearing the laughter, the floating cat that had crashed into the glass door became even angrier, but she dared not stop.

I got up, forced myself to remain calm, opened the door, and quickened my pace.

She couldn't stand staying in this wretched place for even a moment longer.

She rushed out without even looking outside.

Just then, another group of people walked in from outside.

They bumped right into a group of security guards in suits.

The floating cat lowered its head and didn't say sorry.

He kept cursing his bad luck as he continued running outside.

To be honest, she felt that what had just happened was the longest few minutes of her life.

I ran all the way to the door.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he looked behind him and saw that, apart from his assistant,

No one followed.

Suddenly he breathed a sigh of relief.

After relaxing, Fu Mao glanced at his assistant standing next to him and felt a surge of anger.

"When you saw the glass door, didn't you know to pull me back?"

The assistant was also helpless.

Good grief, you've finished your mockery and then chickened out.

And it runs so fast.

How do I poop?

However, he could only grumble in his head, since Fu Mao was his boss.

Even if she felt she was right.

All I could do was lower my head and say, "I'll be more careful next time."

"Next time? There's going to be a next time!?"

It looked like the floating cat was about to unleash another rage.

At this moment, behind the two of them.

A sudden commotion arose right at the gate.

"Ma Yun!?"

How did he get here?

"Holy crap, it's Ma Yun!"

"Quick, quick, go up and get an autograph."

Floating Cat and his assistant looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Was that Ma Yun who just walked past us?"

"I just walked past Ma Yun!?"

The floating cat was startled at first.

Then she began to recall.

It seems that when I sent it over just now, there was a short guy sandwiched in the middle of a group of security guards.

Is that Ma Yun?

Is it the real Ma Yun or the fake Ma Yun?

It's worth noting that Ma Yun is considered a living legend in China, and Fu Mao, a local from Suzhou and Hangzhou, is also involved in internet entrepreneurship (as he claims).

There is a natural admiration for Ma Yun.

The floating cat stopped in its tracks, turned around, and looked inside from outside the gate.

"It really is Ma Yun!"

"Why would they come to a place like this? Does Xinghuo have that much influence?"

From her vantage point, she could clearly see the people in the hall surging forward like a tide, crowding around Lin Li and those surrounding Ma Yun, quickly merging together.

She stood outside the door, basking in the sun, like an ant.

Chapter Twenty-Five: That Man

I saw Ma Yun.

To be honest, Lin Li was quite surprised.

But I wasn't that surprised.

Ma Yun's appearance here is both unexpected and reasonable.

That's perfectly reasonable.

Because this is Suzhou and Hangzhou, Jack Ma's stronghold.

And it was unexpected.

It's because at this point in time, Ma Yun was already in a sorry state due to a series of events that occurred at the beginning of the year.

If Lin Li remembers correctly...

This month, on Teachers' Day, Ma Yun announced her resignation and will hand over the entire Alibaba Group to Zhang Yong, who is not related to her by blood, in a year.

This ended his entrepreneurial career.

Given this context, his appearance here at this time is quite unexpected.

Moreover, this is a game developer conference, not an internet conference.

Spark and Alibaba have little interaction.

The only point I can think of is that Alibaba's gaming division did visit Spark Games after it was established last year.

In June of this year, when Lin Li was in Japan, he met people from Alibaba at Koei Tecmo.

At the time, we were discussing the licensing of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Glory even asked Lin Li if they could authorize Alibaba.

Lin Li gave an affirmative answer at the time, and at the same time suggested with a smile that a PC version of the Spark platform could be released later.

Originally, this was just something Lin Li said casually.

As it turned out, when Glory and Alibaba signed the agreement later, they actually added this clause, leaving the Alibaba staff completely baffled.

Is the strategic cooperation between Glory and Spark really that deep?

So they contacted Xinghuo again.

In the end, they accepted the condition.

This is the only connection between Spark and Alibaba Games.

however.

This connection alone is not enough to explain why this person came to the scene.

As Lin Li was pondering, this legendary figure from the internet appeared before him, extending his hand with a smile.

"Mr. Lin, I've heard of you before, and seeing you today, you are indeed a man of great bearing."

Lin Li also shook hands with him.

This handshake triggered a flurry of camera flashes from the surrounding media.

The leaders of Suzhou and Hangzhou naturally knew Ma Yun.

The group greeted each other, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then naturally started walking together.

Although the two had never met before.

But in front of the media and a large audience.

The two of them were all smiles, as if they were old friends.

During this process, Lin Li didn't hide anything and after chatting for a few minutes, he directly asked Ma Yun.

Why come here? Is Alibaba going to focus on the gaming market?

"Haha, I'm not interested in games."

"In fact, before I came here, my assistant was trying to dissuade me, saying that if I came here, the media would definitely bring up the thing I said back then, that Alibaba would never do games."

At this point, Ma Yun also pointed to some media personnel standing next to the two of them.

"I'm bound to get criticized again, but I'm here anyway. Do you know why?"

have to say.

Even during this relatively down-on-his-luck period, Ma Yun's influence and eloquence remained top-tier.

Especially in front of the media.

These few words quickly enlivened the atmosphere at the scene.

Lin Li was genuinely curious.

"why?"

Ma Yun pointed to Lin Li.

Lin Li was stunned for a moment.

"I?"

Ma Yun nodded.

"Yes, although I'm not interested in games, my favorite thing to do in this life is to make friends with talented young people."

Lin Li was modest.

"He can hardly be called a talented person."

Ma Yun laughed.

They didn't continue with that topic, but instead started a new one.

"Two days ago, Ma Huateng called me to ask whether Alibaba's gaming business should make a strategic cooperation with Tencent."

"I was curious why Ma Huateng suddenly brought this up, so I called Zhan Hui."

"You wouldn't know unless you asked. Once you asked, you'd find out that, without us even realizing it, a genius has emerged in China who can compete with companies in the gaming arena."

When Ma Yun mentioned this, the media and onlookers surrounding the two immediately perked up their ears and became very interested.
