I was in my final year of high school, and my deskmate found out I was writing a novel!

Ye Feng really has a strong heart; he didn't contact Liu Wei for several days.

Liu Wei was also holding back. Actually, she felt that she shouldn't have asked Ye Feng for help, but she really couldn't handle it!

On the third day, Liu Wei called again.

"I was just about to call you too. I'll wait until I get back... never mind, let's meet at a coffee shop instead."

I was thinking of going to the company, but after thinking about it, I decided against it. Better safe than sorry.

Liu Wei agreed after hearing this. There are many people and many eyes in the company. What if something gets out?

After telling Miaomiao, Ye Feng drove off by himself; Miaomiao didn't want to go with him.

When he arrived, Liu Wei was already there. The two sat facing each other in the private room.

"Mr. Ye, have you come up with a solution?"

Ye Feng already had an idea, but it was the last resort. He preferred not to use it if possible, prioritizing harmony.

"I was originally thinking of meeting with them, but I've already resigned, so they might not even listen to me. My idea is for you to talk to them again. Cooperation is fine, but we need to take the initiative. Let's split it 60/40, with us taking 60%. You go and talk to them. If it doesn't work out, call me again."

"Well...they might not be willing to talk, and they were rather forceful when they talked to me before, I think..."

"Don't think it's just a matter of dragging things out. We definitely can't finish the discussion in one go. The mobile game is currently in development, right? How long until it's released?"

"It will take at least three months."

"How long will it take for the penguin project to finish?"

"This... I don't know~"

Ye Feng was speechless. Did she really lack experience? Did she really need him to remind her about something like this?

Putting everything else aside, Tencent definitely knows their progress here, and probably even knows exactly when they can go public.

"Go and ask around. We poached some of Tencent's programmers and engineers back then, didn't we? They definitely have their own connections, and they also have stock options. Let them inquire about it."

"Will this... work?"

"If that doesn't work, you can try poaching people from their company. We're a startup, and those engineers all have stock options. But you'll have to be careful with your candidates."

"Okay, Mr. Ye, what if they still don't agree?"

"Keep talking. Try to talk to them every few days, keep bothering them. If it really doesn't work, then come to me."

It didn't take long for the two to separate; one went home, and the other went back to the company.

It wasn't that Ye Feng didn't trust Liu Wei, but rather that he dared not trust anyone except Miao Miao. The interests involved were simply too great, and who knew what tricks the penguin would pull?

Liu Wei was also decisive and efficient. She didn't know what Ye Feng was planning to do, but she knew what was important.

As for betraying the company's interests, that's definitely not acceptable to her. She's the company's CEO now, and she only got to this position after working hard for so many years and with the help of benefactors. How could she not work hard?

So, they directly contacted the people at Tencent and said, "Two-eight is fine, but if we switch, they want two!"

How could the penguin possibly agree? He was so angry he almost rolled his eyes. How could they haggle like that?

However, he didn't rush to leave in a huff, but continued chatting with Liu Wei.

Given their company's reputation, they would still prefer to obtain official authorization if possible, even if it costs more money, as they are a game company and must keep control of the game.

However, Liu Wei stubbornly insisted on the 28% rule and said that even if a board meeting was to be held, she couldn't make the decision.

The other party also knew that it was useless for Liu Wei to refuse to hold a board meeting. Now they could only force the other party to face reality. This is the power of channels!

Liu Wei's side is backed by Lin Feng, the founder team, and Ye Feng also has a lot of shares because he has money.

And so, the two sides pulled back and forth, from 20/80 to 30/70, and then the penguins were even willing to go for 40/60, but they wanted 60/60~

Lin Wei almost agreed; wasn't this exactly what she had initially set out to do?

But Ye Feng also sent her a message: hold on, hold on a little longer!

She didn't know what Ye Feng was up to, but she knew that she belonged to Ye Feng's side. In fact, she was more like someone Ye Feng had pushed to the forefront, so she naturally supported him without hesitation.

As for building a wall, it's not that easy!

What exactly is Ye Feng doing? He's having coffee with his lawyer.

"Attorney Wang, what made you think of adding this clause?"

"Mr. Ye, that copyright company was solely owned by you. Although you were a major shareholder at the time, there were other shareholders as well. As your lawyer, I naturally have to consider your interests."

It turned out that Ye Feng had consulted his lawyer the day after Liu Wei called him, but he was consulting about the lawsuit.

After hearing the whole story, Attorney Wang told him directly that he definitely couldn't win the lawsuit because Tencent would definitely try to avoid it.

However, at the time, Ye Feng registered the copyright of the game with his own copyright company. He had taken back the copyrights of all his novels that he could get from the website. Moreover, he is now the one in control, and he has already taken back the copyrights of the novels.

Therefore, the copyright of this game is currently only licensed to the company, not owned by the company. This is because at the time it was just a transfer from one hand to the other, but since both companies were his own at the time, he didn't care.

Little did anyone know that Attorney Wang's services were truly worth the fees he charged; even if it was just a transfer of funds, the contract still favored the copyright company.

Let's leave aside the other details, but there's one clause: he can unilaterally cancel the contract, with a penalty of 20 million.

In other words, he could take back the copyright and start a new company, but that would be a last resort.

"Sigh, doing that would offend too many people. We should only do it as a last resort..."

If he really did that, he would offend not only Tencent, but also many investment institutions, since it would harm their interests.

But Ye Feng didn't want Tencent to take over the copyright so easily; he was genuinely furious!

"I don't recommend doing that either. It offends too many people and creates too much trouble."

Ye Feng tapped his fingers on the table, his mind racing.

The current difficulty lies in the distribution channels. They could have released the game much earlier, given their first-mover advantage and the fact that it's from the original company.

However, the same problem remains: without the integration of the instant messaging software Penguin, accounts need to be re-registered, which is very troublesome and extremely difficult for promotion. In fact, Penguin's pirated version may even overtake it.

This has happened before, and more than once or twice!

So what's missing now is a login interface that can be integrated into the game. Who else but Tencent can do that?
