You call this entrepreneurship?

Chapter 505

After Qin Shaoyan finished the call, he became happy again.

He asked someone to find Niu Jie, the programmer with the big tattooed arms. At this time, Niu Jie was no longer as relaxed as before, but looked worried.

After seeing Qin Shaoyan, Niu Jie shrank back a little and asked tentatively: "Boss Qin, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Qin Shaoyan smiled amiably and waved his hand, "Sit down first, sit down and talk."

Niu Jie hesitated for a moment and sat down on the chair.

"I heard that you make chess and card games." Qin Shaoyan asked, "What kind do you usually make?"

"Basically, they are poker and mahjong." Niu Jie thought for a while and began to count on his fingers. "There are Guangdong mahjong, Taiwan mahjong, Sichuan mahjong, etc. There are many ways to play poker."

"For example, Doudizhu, Zhajinhua, Upgrade, Double Buckle, 21 Points and the like."

Qin Shaoyan asked, "Do you have Texas Hold'em?"

"Yes." Niu Jie nodded, "But not many people play our game."

"Are there more people playing mahjong or poker?" Qin Shaoyan continued to ask.

"Most people play poker," Niu Jie replied. "About 70 to 80 percent of them play poker. Our mahjong is not good enough, so no one wants to play."

Qin Shaoyan nodded and suddenly asked, "Is your boss the banker or the commissioner?"

Niu Jie was stunned for a moment and shook his head repeatedly, "My boss won't let me talk about this, so don't ask me, Mr. Qin."

Qin Shaoyan smiled and said, "Okay, then I won't ask."

“Can you play Texas Hold’em?”

Niu Jie hesitated for a moment, "Boss Qin, why are you asking me this?"

Qin Shaoyan answered directly and directly: "I want to make a board game, and I want you to help me make it."

Niu Jie was stunned, looking at Qin Shaoyan in disbelief, "Boss Qin...you also want to gamble...no, chess and card games?"

"What's so strange about this?" Qin Shaoyan replied, "Look, aren't QQ and Lianzhong both chess and card game platforms?"

"Oh oh." Niu Jie immediately realized that he had strayed from the topic, "So Mr. Qin wants to make a board game."

"How long will it take to make it?" Qin Shaoyan asked, "It's just a Texas Hold'em card."

"Let me do the math." Niu Jie began to count on his fingers, "It depends on how complicated the game is... If it's just Texas Hold'em, plus testing and adjustments, it would take about four months."

"Okay." Qin Shaoyan nodded, "Go back and make some preparations."

Niu Jie looked embarrassed, "This...I'm afraid I have to ask our boss."

"Just do your job. I'll talk to your boss in person." Qin Shaoyan said lightly, "I think your boss will give you this bit of face."

……

Chen Yuanzong sat in the reception room of Sentinel Technology Company, holding a teacup in his hand, but his heart was in turmoil and he was very uneasy.

Qin Shaoyan specifically called him over, saying that they wanted to meet and talk, but he didn't say what they were going to talk about.

Chen Yuanzong had rejected the other party's face last time. He spoke toughly, but he was actually feeling a little weak inside.

It was really that Niu Jie was too important to him, otherwise he would not have rejected Qin Shaoyan's request.

After all, the other party is the richest man in the country and a big shot in the Internet industry. I heard that he has a very strong background and connections. Even Shi Yuzhu of Giant has suffered losses at his hands.

He didn't know whether Qin Shaoyan was narrow-minded and ruthless, but he knew that anyone who could become the richest man in the country was not an ordinary person.

If any friction really happens, it would be easy for Qin Shaoyan to deal with him who makes money through illegal means.

Chen Yuanzong was very clear about other people's wealth and his own rank.

All he could do now was gamble that the other party, the richest man in the country, would not take revenge on him for just one person.

Chen Yuanzong raised his wrist and glanced at his watch. It was almost ten o'clock. He had been sitting here for nearly an hour, and no one had paid any attention to him except for someone bringing him tea.

Although he felt tormented and unhappy, he didn't dare to leave and could only wait.

Nearly two hours later, the door of the reception room was pushed open, Qin Shaoyan walked in hurriedly, and Chen Yuanzong stood up immediately.

"Hello, Mr. Qin!"

"Are you Boss Chen Yuanzong?" Qin Shaoyan sat down on the sofa and asked casually.

"It's me, it's me." Chen Yuanzong said while standing.

"Sit down and talk." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand. "I just had a meeting and it took me a while. I guess I made you wait anxiously."

"Don't worry, don't worry." Chen Yuanzong said quickly, "Boss Qin is a busy man, it's nothing for me to wait a while."

"Everyone's time is precious, so I won't beat around the bush." ​​Qin Shaoyan said calmly, "Niu Jie is your man, right? This man will belong to me from now on."

"Mr. Qin..." Chen Yuanzong became anxious and spoke quickly.

Qin Shaoyan interrupted the other party directly, "I will give you two choices. One is to buy out the person for 20 million, and the other is to give you a chance to cooperate. You can choose."

Chen Yuanzong originally wanted to say that he didn't want to choose either of them, but he didn't dare to speak.

But then he thought, who is the other person? He is the richest man in China.

The richest man said he would give you a chance to cooperate with him, which is something that cannot be bought with any amount of money.

At this point, Chen Yuanzong struggled internally for a moment, and cautiously asked, "Boss Qin, can I ask what exactly this cooperation is?"

Qin Shaoyan said expressionlessly: "I heard that you were making chess and card games before. I am also interested in this and want to make one too."

"Ah?!" Chen Yuanzong was stunned. He didn't expect Qin Shaoyan to propose this kind of cooperation. "Why did you think of cooperating with me?"

Qin Shaoyan said: "Don't you have a development and maintenance team for chess and card games? I think we can use them directly."

"It is more efficient to have a mature team, so we don't have to find people to rebuild the team. There are also countless bugs, and one mistake may result in a loss of millions or tens of millions."

"Boss Qin is absolutely right!" Chen Yuanzong was deeply touched when he mentioned this. When he first started, he also stepped on a lot of pitfalls and suffered huge losses. He almost lost his life. "This thing needs to be done by skilled workers."

"You are experienced in this area and know the ins and outs of it." Qin Shaoyan said calmly, "But let me make it clear to you. I know that the water in chess and card games is deep, but if you cooperate with me, you must abide by the rules. You can take a cut as the banker, but don't do anything to cheat people."

"Boss Qin, you must have misunderstood." Chen Yuanzong quickly explained, "I have never cheated or been a banker."

"I don't gamble, it's illegal."

Qin Shaoyan glanced at him and said, "It doesn't matter if you've done it before. It's legal abroad."

"???" Chen Yuanzong immediately realized that something was wrong. Qin Shaoyan seemed to be very serious. "Have you heard of Facebook?" Qin Shaoyan asked.

"I've heard of it." Since Chen Yuanzong wanted to work in the Internet industry, he naturally took some classes on the relevant knowledge and also had some understanding of the famous Facebook.

But he was still a little confused as to why Qin Shaoyan mentioned Facebook.

"I talked to the boss of Facebook and plan to launch online chess and card games on Facebook." Qin Shaoyan looked at Chen Yuanzong and smiled. "Do you want this opportunity? Go to the United States to launch chess and card games for users all over the world."

Chen Yuanzong was stunned, and blood rushed to his head.

Life's circumstances are unpredictable. When you seem to be at your wit's end, suddenly a great opportunity comes knocking on your head.

Chen Yuanzong suddenly felt that his luck was about to change and his fortune was coming!
Originally, they were running online casinos secretly, living in fear and anxiety all day long. Now, they suddenly have the opportunity to run them openly, and in the United States, they can do it. No one can control themselves.

Chen Yuanzong trembled a little, pinched his thigh hard, and tried to calm himself down.

The greater the benefits, the calmer you should be, as opportunities and risks coexist.

Chen Yuanzong thought about it again and again, and asked tentatively: "Boss Qin, do you really want to help me get rich?"

"It's an opportunity for cooperation. I don't know if I can make a fortune. It depends on the market and luck." Qin Shaoyan emphasized, "I can't guarantee that I will get rich, but there is a high probability of making money."

"I understand this, I understand!" Chen Yuanzong said quickly, "What are your conditions? How many shares do you want?"

"We'll talk about the shares later." Qin Shaoyan said nonchalantly, "I only have one request, that Niu Jie, your subordinate, will belong to me from now on."

Chen Yuanzong frowned. He thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.

Although Niu Jie is a talented person, Sentinel Technology is an Internet company with plenty of programmers. Why did they specifically choose him?

After thinking it over, Chen Yuanzong was reluctant to let this talented person go.

The server was originally a mess, but after Niu Jie came, it changed completely. He solved many problems quickly, and there have been no major problems since then.

But now a bigger opportunity to make a fortune was before him. After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Yuanzong gritted his teeth and agreed.

If you let go of a talented person, you can always find another one, but this is the only chance you have.

What's more, this is also an opportunity to get rid of Niu Jie's constraints.

Niu Jie's skills are indeed good, but this also makes him afraid to act rashly. The life and death of the entire chess and card game is controlled by Niu Jie alone.

In other words, as the boss, he sometimes has to consider the mood of his employee, which makes Chen Yuanzong particularly unhappy.

Fortunately, Niu Jie doesn't look like a good person. In fact, he is very timid and naive. He can be controlled even under coercion and inducement.

I had coaxed him before because I wanted to rely on him to keep my chess and card games going, and this was the golden goose that laid eggs. Now that there was a better opportunity, I could naturally give him up.

In addition, we will look for a server main programmer, and then the rest of the team will remain the original team to create a new chess and card game. This deal is worthwhile.

After thinking it through, Chen Yuanzong no longer bothered about Niu Jie's problem and said generously, "Since Mr. Qin thinks highly of me, I will let you go. Alas, I really can't bear to do so."

Qin Shaoyan called Niu Jie over on the spot and told him about this. Niu Jie was surprised and happy.

If Chen Yuanzong hadn't been there, he would have jumped for joy.

Chen Yuanzong pretended to be reluctant and told Niu Jie to continue working hard even if he changed his boss in the future.

This made Niu Jie very embarrassed.

……

Chen Yuanzong left Sentinel Technology excitedly and informed Liu Yuanrui as soon as he returned, "Boss Liu, I don't plan to do the plan we discussed before, and I'm ready to withdraw."

"What are you talking about?" Liu Yuanrui couldn't hold back any longer and asked angrily, "Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey?"

"We agreed before that the four of us would form a partnership, with money contributing and people contributing. Now that the project has just started, you're saying you don't want to do it anymore?"

The four of them had discussed this plan together before, and the online game development was also a team formed by the four companies. Chen Yuanzong worked hard to grab the position of chief programmer for his top general Niu Jie.

The chief programmer is a key position, and Liu Yuanrui agreed to the position because of Niu Jie's strong technical skills.

The game is now halfway done and Chen Yuanzong wants to quit, so the position of the main programmer is gone. Without the main programmer, what's the point of playing this online game?

"What on earth are you trying to do?" Liu Yuanrui was very annoyed. "Are you playing house? If you don't explain clearly, don't even think about leaving peacefully."

Chen Yuanzong knew that this coal boss was not a good person either, so he had to bring Qin Shaoyan out.

When Liu Yuanrui heard that he was going to cooperate with Qin Shaoyan, he immediately said, "No matter what kind of cooperation it is, I want to get involved, otherwise I will ruin it for you."

"Sailenmu!" Chen Yuanzong cursed, but finally had to agree to let Liu Yuanrui pay for a share.

……

The people from Facebook arrived in Beijing very quickly, and Fred personally led the team to discuss with Qin Shaoyan.

Facebook is now developing very rapidly and is showing signs of becoming the dominant social network on the Internet.

Currently, Facebook is expanding to the global Internet and spending a lot of money. Previously, Facebook's main income came from two major sources: one was advertising, and the other was value-added member services.

However, the effect of member value-added services is not very good, and relying solely on advertising is too simple.

Later, Qin Shaoyan developed the web game "Happy Farm" for Facebook, which made Facebook a lot of money.

After tasting the sweetness, Fred couldn't stop and actively explored the gaming business, especially web games.

Qin Shaoyan now proposed to develop chess and card games, and Fred was very excited.

Board games are just a nice name; this thing can be changed into online gambling at any time.

Online gambling is a "high-tech" gambling method that has emerged in recent years and involves gambling activities in a virtual space through the Internet.

There are currently 2300 gambling websites on the Internet, and the amount involved in global online gambling is as high as US$120 billion each year.

Fred was also salivating over this big cake.

Facebook has a very big advantage, which is that it has a large number of users and can drive traffic to games at a relatively low cost.

The two parties met in the reception room of Sentinel Technologies, but not many people attended the meeting.

Only Qin Shaoyan and Zhang Pingyi were present on this side, and only Fred was present on Facebook. Edward attended the meeting as an assistant and translator.

As a game developer, Chen Yuanzong sat next to Liu Yuanrui and could basically only listen.

Fred couldn't wait to say, "Qin, if we want to do board games, we have to find a way to avoid the restrictions of the Unlawful Online Gambling Enforcement Act first."

Chen Yuanzong next to him was confused. It didn't sound right. Wasn't online gambling legal in the United States?
