Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

"WEGAME Global Game Night suffered a major defeat. Why can't Tencent compete in the platform market?"

"Unable to learn from others, the penguin's path in the world of anime and manga has been extremely bumpy."

That was fine until a while later.

IGN even retweeted this news.

Ironically, IGN's repost was also a coincidence. They were originally following Starfire Carnival because there was a lot of news about Starfire, as well as content related to Starpark Discovery 2.

So IGN was also intensively searching for information about Spark Carnival today, and happened to come across this news, so they just retweeted it.

But IGN hadn't considered that.

His casual act caused a lot of trouble for Tencent's public relations team.

This was originally a domestic news story, but now it has become international news.

And once something goes global...

Then we must report it to Ma Huateng.

Ever since.

That evening.

Ma Huateng, who had just finished dinner, was resting in the gazebo in his backyard when he suddenly received a phone call. After hearing the report, Ma Huateng, who had been in a good mood, couldn't hold back anymore.

"Stupid! What an idiot!!"

"How could anyone be so stupid!"

To be honest, Ma Huateng has rarely experienced significant emotional fluctuations in the past two years.

Given the penguin's current size, it has already created a huge snowball effect.

However, for some reason, recently, more and more issues have come up to him that require his decision.

"Tencent's corporate mentality is getting worse..."

Ma Huateng rubbed his brow.

Strictly speaking, this incident is not a typical case of a large company's problems. When any company reaches a certain size, the personal behavior of its employees can potentially affect the company.

If your company has a good reputation, the average person won't react so strongly and will be able to view it rationally.

If we can view things rationally, many things won't actually escalate to a public relations crisis.

The problem is that Tencent's reputation, especially among the public, is really not good. Back when it was fighting with 360, there were even more people supporting 360.

Not to mention, this time it wasn't just an ordinary employee, but a senior executive at Tencent.

In addition, because Tencent is large enough and has a lot of traffic, even if the incident gets out of hand, the media can collect public relations fees.

therefore.

This matter could ignite at any moment.

certainly...

Penguins don't have to pay this money.

After all, this matter is, frankly speaking, just like that.

People were just watching the spectacle; it didn't involve any specific business. The only problem was that it was a bit embarrassing...

This can be seen from the fact that Tencent's stock price remained unchanged after the news broke.

but..

The fact that he was embarrassed made Ma Huateng very uncomfortable.

Not to mention the Penguin Global Games Night that Wang Guang spent a huge amount of money promoting last night, which ultimately did not produce the results Wang Guang described.

In terms of overall publicity and promotion, it was completely outclassed by Xinghuo.

"Call the HR department and ask them to recommend some suitable people to take over WEGAME. Also, call Wang Guang and tell him that this matter is not going to be handled well..."

Wang Guang, who was still in Qiongzhou at the time, probably couldn't have imagined this.

His momentary mistake had consequences that were more serious than he had imagined.

He accepted Ma Huateng's imperial sword, but failed to kill Xinghuo. Instead, Xinghuo killed him with a single blow.

It's obvious that they can't deliver.

In addition, she was exposed at the comic convention and photographed by the media.

That's a complete disgrace to penguins.

This made Ma Huateng question the man's abilities.

Ma Huateng has decided to replace the coach.

Wang Guang, who had fled in a disheveled state, had now regained his usual elegance.

A small buffet restaurant in a star-rated hotel in Qiongzhou.

It's described as a small buffet restaurant, but it can accommodate up to 50 people.

It was specially prepared by the hotel for business meetings.

The environment is very nice.

However, the restaurant is very deserted now. It's not that there are few people; at a glance, there are quite a few people inside.

But no one really talked to each other; they were just focused on eating.

~~~

A window seat in the restaurant.

Wang Guang glanced at the time in the upper left corner of his phone, then at the news on the screen.

"Spark Platform opens its doors to domestic developers"

The more Wang Guang looked, the more his brows furrowed.

The news is actually not complicated. On the last day of the carnival, which is the day after tomorrow, Spark will hold a "Spark Platform Launch Conference" in the side hall of the Qiongzhou International Convention and Exhibition Center. This conference will fully introduce the Spark platform's entry rules and various details.

In addition to the Spark Platform Launch Event, Lin Li will also take the stage to give a detailed presentation to domestic developers on Spark's overseas expansion experience and support programs.

To put it bluntly.

Xinghuo is going to hold a martial arts conference.

This is a series of combined moves. First, use the global carnival to prove its global influence, take manufacturers to the site to see the popularity of Spark, and leave an impression on these manufacturers in the most straightforward and inspiring way.

Then, at the final conference, they lure people to the Spark platform.

Wang Guang believed he had seen through Lin Li.

The problem is...

This is a conspiracy.

Given the atmosphere at the Spark Global Carnival, it's quite possible that Spark could actually make this ridiculous industry summit a success.

If Lin Li really succeeds, WEGAME can basically say goodbye to the anime and manga market.

This was absolutely unacceptable to Wang Guang.

"Yu Zhong, has anyone replied to your message?"

Faced with the sudden question, Yu Zhong, who was eating, looked up.

"Oh? Let me see, Mr. Wang."

Before coming to Qiongzhou.

Wang Guang had already chosen the person he wanted to talk to.

First, there's Kuro, the developer of "Twin Tails Battlefield"; then there's Mizuki, the developer of "Witch Weapon"; then there's Asahi, the developer of "Cooking Fantasy"; then there's Genden, the developer of "Time Song"; and then there's Spade, the developer of "Date A Live: Spirit Pledge".

There's also Papergames, the developer of Miracle Nikki; Mingchao, the developer of Ark Order; and Tianfu Wanhuajing, the developer of Ash Front.

Some of these companies have a pretty good relationship with Tencent.

For example, Papergames' Miracle Nikki is distributed by Tencent.

The remaining companies are mostly small manufacturers whose revenue is not even worthy of shining the penguin's shoes.

So, before coming.

Wang Guang was full of confidence.

Chapter 384 Old Deng Alliance

After arriving, he suffered a series of setbacks.

Apart from what happened in the afternoon.

Tonight, all the manufacturers he invited were small fry.

Even the CEO of Papergames, whom Wang Guang was most confident of winning, did not respond.

However, judging from the CEO of Papergames' WeChat Moments, he was at the Spark Carnival today.

From this point of view.

Wang Guang wanted to poach Xinghuo, but Xinghuo was also trying to poach penguins.

In fact.

From a later perspective, of all these developers, only a few survived the licensing winter and broke into the ACG (Anime, Comics, and Games) market.

But that doesn't mean there aren't any dark horses among them.

Kuro goes without saying, but Origami is also very skilled.

At this point in time, who would have thought that Papergames would create a fantastical world like Nikki, and in such a realistic way?

They have truly forged a unique path.

Not only can they achieve top-tier status in the female-oriented market, but they can also expand outwards to the mass market, developing titles like "Hundred Faces, Thousand Directions" and "The Contract of All Things".

Besides.

Among a group of developers, the developer of "Witch Weapon," Imperial Capital Water Harp, is quite interesting. In 19, while "Witch Weapon" only generated 93 RMB in revenue domestically for the entire year, it raked in a whopping 3000 million RMB in Japan and 1200 million RMB in Korea...

Similar to the case of games that are more popular abroad than domestically, there's also Gian's Mobile Suit Gundam, which generated 19 million RMB in revenue in China and 8 million RMB in Japan in 1.2...

so.

While human desires and hobbies may converge, they also exhibit distinct differences.

This is why Lin Li chose to build a platform after having this opportunity.

One person's strength is ultimately limited.

Moreover, what Lin Li wants now is to unite the power of the two-dimensional world and challenge the larger track dominated by Tencent.

Let's get back to the topic.

Wang Guang, riding on the coattails of Tencent's dominance, planned to win over this group of anime and manga companies with a banquet, and then take a side trip around Qiongzhou.

But after he arrived in Qiongzhou, he began to contact these manufacturers.

I just realized an embarrassing problem.

Laugh to death.

Nobody came.

Even Papergames, which has a fairly good relationship with the penguin, only replied, asking if they could reschedule for tomorrow.

This put Wang Guang in a very awkward position.

So he had Yu Zhong mobilize his network of connections, wanting to make one last attempt.

pity.

He overestimated Yu Zhong.

If they met in person, people would probably be more polite and say a few words to Yu Zhong.

But online.
