904 This is not the end, but the beginning

Xu Yingjie was right.

For Tencent, bottom line and face are not worth mentioning in the face of interests.

From the day Tencent embarked on the path of becoming the king of copycats.

There is no bottom line or face anymore.

Have you seen how many original works have become stepping stones for Tencent to create a money-making empire? Have you seen how Tencent, which started out by copying and plagiarizing, has won many lawsuits against him for alleged plagiarism?

For such an enterprise, there is no such thing as bottom line and integrity.

In the context of being unable to kill Qianlong Games, which has become a major concern, the rise of miHoYo seems to have made Tencent Games unable to sit still.

Before 'Reincarnation' came out, it was still okay, Tencent Games could more or less maintain some bottom line.

But now it is the 'reincarnation' that has caused the market share of Tencent Games to decline day by day, and the user churn rate is increasing day by day. Under such circumstances, MiHoYo, which has already made Tencent smell a sense of crisis, has launched the blockbuster masterpiece 'Genshin Impact' which is impacting the market share of Tencent Games.

With Reincarnation swallowing up the market in front and Genshin Impact gradually eroding the market in the back, if things continue like this, Tencent Games will undoubtedly be nailed on the road of depression. Faced with such a situation, Tencent Games obviously does not have many choices as it cannot develop a hit product that can rival or even regain market share.

After all, destroying your opponent is often the best shortcut to achieving your own success'!

Moreover, Tencent has always had a lot of experience in this area.

As for the bottom line and face, if Tencent Games cared about it, there would not be the huge empire it has today.

It is a pity that Xu Yingjie, who has been immersed in the field of game development, even though he is one of the shareholders of Qianlong Games, still lacks a certain imagination when it comes to the face of capital.

There was a moment of stunned silence.

Xu Yingjie shook his head absentmindedly, "Mr. Ye, are you serious? Tencent can do such a shameless thing?

"For now, Tencent Games is clearly helpless in the face of the situation where its market share is being swallowed up by Qianlong Games. Apart from coming up with a work to compete with Samsara, it has basically played all the cards it can, but in the end it is still helpless. However, now MiHoYo has launched another hit game, Genshin Impact, which is gradually eroding Tencent Games' market share that has already been swallowed up by Samsara. If this continues, will Tencent Games have a future?"

Ye Chen smiled and continued, "I believe that Tencent Games, and even the top executives of Tencent, have done crisis simulations on this issue. If this continues, Tencent Games will gradually withdraw from the mainstream stage and gradually become a major player in the Xiao market.

Tencent Games is heading for a complete decline. If Tencent Games fails, how much damage will it cause to Tencent? Anyone who has graduated from junior high school knows this! Therefore, Tencent Games will not consider any bottom line at all. In the case of failing to acquire Mihoyo as expected, it will destroy "Genshin Impact". Even if there is still "Reincarnation" ahead, it can still struggle and will not lose everything too early. However, if "Genshin Impact" is allowed to continue to erode, Tencent Games' market share will not be able to withstand the double impact of "Reincarnation" and "Genshin Impact"!

"Based on this logic of choosing the lesser of two evils, Tencent Games can, will and can only do what I just said. This is why you feel that Tencent Games seems to have accepted its fate. When the other party gives up the fantasy, this is often not the end, but the beginning of a dead end!"

As Ye Chen finished speaking, Xu Yingjie's brows gradually frowned as he suddenly realized something, "Then, Mr. Ye, do you think Tencent Games can defeat 'Genshin Impact'?

"I spent 5 billion plus the patents and technology of Qianlong Games to acquire 25% of miHoYo's shares, so what do you say?

As he spoke, Ye Chen stood up with a smile.

Then he didn't wait for Xu Yingjie to respond.

As he walked out, he continued, "Just wait and see. If nothing unexpected happens, Tencent Games will probably take action soon! But don't worry, miHoYo will be able to handle it. In the end, Tencent Games will just bring shame upon itself!"

As he spoke with certainty, Ye Chen exuded the confidence that everything was under control.

But what Xu Yingjie didn't know was that this confidence came from Ye Chen's rebirth, from his previous life...

Because in his previous life, he witnessed with his own eyes how Tencent Games brought disgrace upon itself and suffered heavy losses as well as defeat.

"Oh yes, if I'm not mistaken, if Tencent Games fails to drive away the 'invader' MiHoYo, then they will most likely experience a short-term surge in revenue and profits. After all, they have to take advantage of the last opportunity to make as much money as possible and completely squeeze out the potential value. To put it bluntly, they are uprooting all the leeks that are due to be harvested or have not yet been harvested!"

That's all.

The figure has walked out of the meeting room.

Xu Yingjie realized belatedly that the distance had been widened and immediately jogged to catch up.

Then, as Ye Chen said goodbye, he watched the Mercedes-Benz G disappear from his sight.

But what Ye Chen said was still echoing in my mind...

If the future trajectory of Tencent Games is really as we just heard, then what kind of monster must this young CEO Ye be to be able to describe him as such?

But there is no time to think too much.

Thinking that time was running out before he could go to Shanghai to sign the final acquisition agreement with miHoYo, Xu Yingjie came to his senses and quickly called other senior executives who were participating in the acquisition ceremony, and then hurriedly rushed to Jiangzhou Airport.

On the other side, Ye Chen, who had left Qianlong Game, was not in a hurry to go to the White Swan Hotel, even though Chen Hao's engagement ceremony was imminent, and even though the little Y-headed Ye Youyou had called him several times...

The reason why he didn't want to go there early was very simple. He didn't want to face the relatives of the Chen family, the so-called relatives who had given him all kinds of cold stares and sarcastic remarks in the past...

Until noon time comes.

The Mercedes-Benz G finally drove into the parking lot of the White Swan Hotel.

At this moment, the parking lot was already filled with all kinds of luxury cars.

Ye Chengying's Hongqi L5, a symbol of status, was shining brightly under the sun, showing off its status to the fullest!

Just when Ye Chen stopped the Mercedes-Benz G.

The Peony Hall in the White Swan Hotel was already bustling with people.

Surrounded by many second-generation officials and rich people, Chen Hao seemed to have reached the peak moment of his life.

But in the midst of all the flattery, this normally fearless man seemed a little at a loss...

Even though I had been mentally prepared for this, I still couldn't help but feel nervous when I was surrounded by those flattering compliments. It was like a dream...

A dream that I never dared to think of and found incredible...
