"To be honest, I went to Korea at the beginning of the year and accidentally came into contact with the game "Legend". After watching it, I thought the game was quite ordinary and nothing special. I asked the Koreans and it didn't seem to be very popular. However, when I was considering passing the time, I still entered the game and played it. It didn't matter. I actually played it all night in one go. I found that although this game is ordinary, it is quite easy to get started, and after getting started, it was easy to integrate into the game. At that time, I thought that if such a game was introduced to China, it would definitely be very popular. So, after learning that China did not have this game, I had the idea of ​​introducing this game to operate it!"

"After, after inquiring from many sources, I contacted Actoz, which has the right to operate "Legend". But they revealed to me that someone had contacted them before. After hearing that I had the idea of ​​introducing this game, they bluntly said that you were willing to offer them $300,000 plus a high agency fee of share. They said this, obviously I hope I would offer a higher price, so I can get more agency fees. I thought at the time, that we are all Chinese, there is no need to let Koreans take advantage of the price gouging, right? So, I immediately said that I was no longer interested in this game. I didn't have much energy to run a game company myself, so I thought about the idea of ​​cooperating with your company and asked someone to contact Mr. Chen." [..com]

Tang Feng told such an experience in a serious way.

In fact, let alone this life, he has never been to Korea in his previous life!

After hearing Tang Feng's words, Chen Tianqiao couldn't help but have a good impression of Tang Feng.

First of all, when this online game was just starting, Tang Feng could see that the value of the game "Legend" was not easy.

What made Chen Tianqiao even more liked was the saying that Tang Feng said, "We are all Chinese, there is no need to let Koreans take advantage because of price gouging!"

You should know that in today's world where interests are paramount, Chinese businessmen have broken down each other and raised prices in order to win a foreign project, which has led to foreigners' profits.

But Tang Feng's words showed his true nature!

In fact, Actoz had indeed asked Chen Tianqiao for higher agency fees by other Chinese companies before, using the method of showing intentions for "Legend". But what Chen Tianqiao didn't know was that this was actually just a common method of actoz's price increase.

Therefore, Chen Tianqiao's doubts were completely dispelled. He also felt a little scared. You know, his total net worth is only 300,000 US dollars. If Tang Feng really joined the competition and offered a higher agency fee, where would he get the money?

Looking for venture capital?

During this period, Chen Tianqiao has been looking for venture capital, but these people, like China.com, expressed their dissatisfaction with the Chinese online game market.

In fact, in this environment, their doubts are very reasonable: the electronic game industry has extremely high policy risks in China. Unlike the United States, Japan, and South Korea, which have always regarded this as a major industry, China has always maintained a conservative and negative attitude towards electronic games; and, there are too many "Waterloo" in China.

In addition, the current Internet foundation in China is not solid. Whether online games can be fully popularized is also a big problem.

But they obviously don’t know that in the past two years, China’s Internet cafe industry will usher in a big leap.

It is even hard for people to tell whether it is the development of the Internet cafe industry that has led to the popularity of "Legend", or the popularity of "Legend" that has led to the development of the Internet cafe industry!

"Mr. Tang said very well. We Chinese people cannot make money for Koreans in vain. We should be united in external affairs!" Chen Tianqiao said with a serious look on his face after putting away his fear.

"Yes. I don't know how Mr. Chen is talking to actoz company now? Is it still time to join in now?" Seeing Chen Tianqiao's performance, Tang Feng naturally knew that his statement was recognized by Chen Tianqiao. So he also struck while the iron was hot and entered the topic.

"Our negotiations with actoz have entered a substantial stage. We only need to reach out to negotiate in detail and basically start to prepare for the game's operation." Chen Tianqiao said honestly, and then he asked tentatively: "I wonder how Mr. Tang wants to cooperate?"

When Tang Feng heard Chen Tianqiao ask this question, he didn't reserve any reservations and directly expressed his thoughts: "The way I want to cooperate is very simple, that is, I invest money in the introduction and operation of "Legend", and then get the profit share of "Legend"!"

Tang Feng's cooperation method can be said to be very kind. He naturally knew what kind of behemoth Shanda will grow into in the future, but he did not show his ambition to take the opportunity to invest in Shanda.

The reason for doing this is because Tang Feng knew that Chen Tianqiao had parted ways after his last cooperation with China.com ended in parting ways, and he firmly wanted himself and his family to control the company independently. If he spoke out to invest in Shanda, Chen Tianqiao would probably refuse.

Secondly, it is because Tang Feng’s idea of ​​investing this time is actually very utilitarian, that is, to make quick money by using the popular Dongfeng of "Legend" and then raise funds to acquire the club, instead of making a long-term fish in the grand manner.

Although he knew that the latter could bring greater benefits to him, his eagerness to acquire the club forced him to give up some long-term benefits.

After hearing the cooperation method proposed by Tang Feng, Chen Tianqiao was quite satisfied. Because the method Tang Feng said did not touch his bottom line.

Of course, as a businessman, Chen Tianqiao must maximize his interests, so he did not immediately give up, but squeezed out a smile and said, "I am very grateful for Mr. Tang's trust. However, I am frankly frank, I personally think that our company now has the ability to operate "Legend" independently. Moreover, I am also very optimistic about the prospects of "Legend". So, why do I have to cooperate with Mr. Tang and then share some of the interests?"

Chen Tianqiao's words made Tang Feng smile with a touch of playful smile. He had to admit that Chen Tianqiao was really an excellent businessman.

The previous minute seemed to have expressed his gratitude for not malicious bidding with him, but after a minute, he began to forget this "benefit" and started to speak in business.

This is true. In the shopping mall, it is easy to lose the initiative if you always call me brothers and brothers!

Since Chen Tianqiao temporarily put aside the "emotional" relationship that the two had cultivated before, Tang Feng didn't mind saying some "ugly words": "Does Mr. Chen really think that your company has the ability to independently introduce and operate "Legend"?"

"Of course, otherwise, we wouldn't have started a negotiation with actoz." Chen Tianqiao said without blushing.

"Mr. Chen, please be aware of it. Before I asked your company for cooperation, I also had a certain degree of understanding of your company. As far as I know, your company does not seem to have much money on hand. To be precise, it should be only about 300,000 US dollars, right?" Tang Feng looked at Chen Tianqiao meaningfully and said.

Before Chen Tianqiao responded, Tang Feng continued: "If I was not wrong, your company would need 300,000 US dollars in agency fees just to get the operating expenses of "Legend". Then in the later operation process, servers, network broadband, game promotion, etc., your company will invest a lot of money. So where will Mr. Chen get this money?"

Tang Feng learned about Chen Tianqiao's personal information. He knew that after Shanda won the operation rights of "Legend" in history, Chen Tianqiao adopted the method of "making money out of nothing" and used his contract to endorse "Legend" to find some famous hardware vendors and apply for a few months of trial rights for the server.

After seeing the contract signed with the Korean, the server hardware provider determined that Shanda was a potential major customer, so he agreed to Chen Tianqiao's application.

Then, Chen Tianqiao found Telecom in the same way with the contract of "Legend" and the cooperation contract with these hardware manufacturers. Then Chen Tianqiao successfully fooled the broadband trial rights provided by Telecom for the two-month test period.

It is precisely through these operations that Shanda has successfully survived the most difficult period.

However, in Tang Feng's opinion, all of that was used by Chen Tianqiao when he was forced to do so.

Now he is still negotiating with South Korea about the introduction of "Legend". At the same time, he is definitely trying to raise funds to prepare for the early operation.

Fortunately, Tang Feng’s judgment this time was correct!

Chen Tianqiao is a talented person with urgent intelligence, which means he is very good at coming up with the right countermeasures at imminent moments.

This approach is actually very dangerous in business.

In fact, in the early days of Shanda's operation of "Legend", they have been racing against Death. With a slightly more rhythm, the company may fall into a state of bankruptcy!

Chen Tianqiao is still thinking about raising a small part of the funds. As for the genius idea of ​​"making money with nothing", he has only a prototype in his mind. This idea will not appear until it is absolutely necessary.

Tang Feng bluntly stated the current dilemma of Shanda Network, but Chen Tianqiao did not show any embarrassment.

He said happily: "I didn't expect Mr. Tang to know the current situation of our company so clearly. Then, I won't hide it. Our company does need some money now, but it is not only Mr. Tang who wants to cooperate with us. So, Mr. Tang, what do you think are your advantages compared to other investors?"

Tang Feng felt a little funny about Chen Tianqiao's persistence, but he didn't show it on his face. He said seriously: "Your company's investment in the game is 300,000 US dollars, and I am willing to use the same amount of funds to obtain the domestic operation of "Legend". Putting aside half of the profit after the share of actoz, how about it?"

This plan was just Tang Feng asking for directions. He knew very well that Chen Tianqiao would not agree.
