Chapter 663: Domestic Operating Rights for Kart Rider

Since Chu Ning's mother is coming, Chen Yang can't often go to the Common People Financial Investment Company.

Let the other side know that his subordinates are all playing a violent online game; the first impression will surely be ruined.

So, before she arrives, he decided to first go to the company to make arrangements.

To his surprise, besides Cheng Xiao Xiao and Zhao Xiaoye, everyone else arrived at the office on time. As he walked over, everyone's computer screens showed the Legend private server game.

Chen Yang entered Yu Wenlong's office and found him and Huang Youguang also playing a game. Their hand speed was fast, their emotions were highly excited. Without guessing, one knows they've already clashed with his bodyguards.

Chen Yang didn't disturb Yu Wenlong, waited until the other's computer went black, then cursed once before speaking.

"Director Yu, I'll be busy for a while, so I'm leaving the company in your charge."

Upon hearing this, Yu Wenlong's mood instantly improved. With Chen Yang, the boss, absent, and Cheng Xiao Xiao away on a business trip, he is the company's Monkey King. He can play however he wants!

"Chairman, rest assured, everything is under my control."

Chen Yang pretended to be satisfied with Yu Wenlong's attitude, then pointed to the employees outside the office and said to him: "Director Yu, you want to do team-building; I have no objection. But as far as I know, the game you're playing is a private server, with no copyright. If you pull everyone into this game, who will go find games with investment potential for the company?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Wenlong immediately realized he had indeed gone too far.

"Chairman, rest assured, I will immediately arrange a team to experience new games. If within half a month I cannot produce two worthwhile investment projects, you may punish me as you see fit."

Chen Yang merely wanted to trap Yu Wenlong in the Legend private server game, holding no hope that he could complete the task. "Director Yu, your task is just to provide a feasible investment report; the rest you needn't worry about."

Upon hearing that he only needed to submit a report, Yu Wenlong's mood became even happier. Because this work could be completely handed over to Huang Youguang to handle.

"Chairman, I guarantee I will complete the task."

Chen Yang nodded, instructed Huang Youguang to assist Yu Wenlong well, then prepared to leave.

And when Yu Wenlong saw Chen Yang about to leave, he immediately stood up and called out to him: "Chairman, wait a moment, I have something to discuss with you."

Chen Yang asked: "What is it?"

Yu Wenlong said somewhat embarrassedly: "Um... could the spending limit for my in-game expenses be increased a bit?"

Chen Yang had long guessed that Yu Wenlong would have this idea. After all, he isn't playing the game alone; he's also bringing along several dozen underlings. If those people don't have decent equipment, they simply can't pose a threat to his bodyguards in full godly gear.

Moreover, the money Yu Wenlong spends will eventually flow into Chu Min's account.

"Director Yu, since it's for team-building, spending a bit more money is no problem."

Yu Wenlong eagerly grasped Chen Yang's hand: "Chairman, you really are a good boss. From now on, just give the orders; I will go through fire and water, sparing no effort."

Chen Yang merely smiled, then left Yu Wenlong's office.

After coming out this time, the other new employees finally noticed Chen Yang's presence, all standing up to greet him.

And Chen Yang merely told them to work well, then went to the Common People Agricultural Products Trading Company.

Just as he reached the entrance, he saw Shen Anna walking out with her secretary.

"Boss, your timing is perfect; Governor Liu called me to go to the provincial government office, you should come too!"

Chen Yang, as long as he has no important matters, least wants to see Liu Jianghua.

"Anna Sister, since the governor only summoned you, I won't go. I don't know much about company affairs; if I say something wrong, you'll be the one who suffers."

Shen Anna gave Chen Yang a withering look and said unhappily: "Your thoughts are all on women and games these days; I'm afraid if Governor Liu finds out, he'll criticize you."

Chen Yang smiled without speaking. Because of Lin Wei, he never mentions Chu Ning's matters in front of Shen Anna. As for investing in online games, that's certainly not something a workaholic like Shen Anna could understand.

After Shen Anna left in a huff, he then went to the Internet department to find Luo Hao.

"Manager Luo, do you have any talent under you related to game development? If so, let's split off a new department."

Luo Hao lightly pushed his glasses, seriously asking Chen Yang: "Boss, are you really preparing to invest in online games?"

Chen Yang nodded and said: "Not only online games, but good board games can also be invested in."

Luo Hao glanced outside his office, then quietly told Chen Yang: "I have a classmate who is negotiating with a Korean game company for the agency rights of Kart Rider. If you're willing to invest, he says he can help negotiate it, charging only a one million yuan intermediary fee."

Chen Yang had heard of Kart Rider, a very popular casual game domestically. He remembered that in his previous life, this game was agented by a game company in Modu.

And Luo Hao's classmate estimated that they couldn't compete economically with the other side, so they wanted Chen Yang to step in and seize the agency rights for this game.

Regarding this, Chen Yang was somewhat interested. A game destined to be a hit would be the best stepping stone for him to enter the gaming industry.

"Manager Luo, please tell your classmate to spare no expense in securing the domestic independent operating rights for this game."

Luo Hao felt his classmate's demand for a one million yuan intermediary fee was a bit lion-sized opening, and cautiously said: "Boss, for a leisure game, a one million yuan intermediary fee—wouldn't that be a bit expensive?"

Chen Yang knew what kind of competitor Luo Hao's classmate faced, and without hesitation said: "As long as he can secure the operating rights for this game, money is no problem."

Upon hearing this, Luo Hao immediately called his classmate and conveyed Chen Yang's words.

After they finished talking, Chen Yang then stated his purpose: "Manager Luo, for that Legend private server game, have someone upgrade a new map. There should be many similar private servers on the market; just copy their style directly."

Luo Hao nodded. Private servers are inherently illegal; even if they copy others' creativity, the other party can't do anything about them.

However, he didn't quite understand Chen Yang's behavior: "Boss, if such a private server game gets sued, the only outcome is shutdown. Why are you still investing so much?"

Chen Yang doesn't want too many people to know his purpose. Moreover, he doesn't believe this private server game will be shut down.

"Manager Luo, find someone to go to Modu for a trip. If the other side is willing to sell the agency rights for the Legend private server game, we can spend a bit more money."

Luo Hao didn't expect Chen Yang to buy new agency rights on top of the domestic agency rights. Worried, he said: "Boss, will they sell?"

Chen Yang laughed: "As long as the price is right, there's no game that can't be sold. If you don't try, how will you know they won't sell?"
