My capital is quite large.

Chapter 11 Social Strata

three days later.

In Nanshan District, Shenzhen, a black Audi A8 slowly pulled up in front of a dilapidated startup incubator building that didn't even have an elevator.

The midday sun was scorching, and the asphalt road surface was slightly warped from the heat.

The car door opened, and President Zhang of the IEG business group, dressed in a decent casual shirt, walked alone into the dilapidated building filled with the smell of boxed lunches and cheap tobacco, without a large entourage.

When he pushed open the rather flimsy glass door of Haofeng Network, he was greeted by the stuffy air blown by the fan and a faint smell of instant noodles.

In an office of less than 30 square meters, Li Feng was wearing a pilling T-shirt and sitting at a second-hand desk, typing on a keyboard.

Hearing the noise, Li Feng stopped what he was doing and turned around.

"Mr. Li, I apologize for disturbing you." President Zhang closed the door behind him and looked at the somewhat down-on-his-luck entrepreneur in front of him. There was no arrogance on his face as the head of a big company. Instead, he showed a sincere smile. "Let me introduce myself. I am Zhang Zhidong, President of Tencent IEG."

Li Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.

Of course he recognized that face; he had seen it from afar at Tencent's annual meeting in his previous life.

He never expected that such a high-ranking person would condescend to come to this doghouse that doesn't even have air conditioning.

"Mr. Zhang, you're too kind. My humble abode is simple; I don't even have a cup of good tea." Li Feng stood up, pulled over a slightly wobbly folding chair, and said, "Please sit down."

President Zhang sat down without any hesitation, placed his hands on his knees, and got straight to the point:

"Li Feng, I apologize on behalf of the group for the grievances you suffered at IEG over the past six months. To show my sincerity in discussing cooperation today, I'll first tell you the truth."

President Zhang paused, then looked calmly at Li Feng: "Zhao Peng, who stole your credit, was dismissed by the company three days ago for serious misconduct and has been blacklisted across the entire industry."

"As for Vice President Lin, who indulged his subordinates... he has been stripped of all core power in IEG and demoted to a peripheral department to retire."

After saying this, President Zhang stared intently into Li Feng's eyes, trying to catch any hint of elation, excitement, or triumphant satisfaction on the face of this 22-year-old.

However, to his surprise, Li Feng's face remained completely expressionless.

There was no excitement, no thrill, not even a hint of a cold laugh.

She simply nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

When he heard about the tragic ends of Zhao Peng and Vice President Lin, he thought he would laugh out loud, or cry and shout "Heaven has eyes!" as he had fantasized countless times in his previous life.

But in reality, his heart was as calm as a dry well.

It was only at this moment that Li Feng truly realized how drastically his level and pursuits had changed since his rebirth.

His mind is now filled with the impending smartphone revolution, the global App Store ecosystem, and the Nasdaq bell.

As for Zhao Peng and Vice President Lin? They were nothing more than two ants that he, this giant dragon, casually crushed when he first awoke.

Who would get excited about stepping on two ants?

"Mr. Zhang, let's not waste any more time on small talk." Li Feng put down his water glass, his eyes clear. "You didn't come all this way just to give me an internal report, did you?"

"Good, that's great." A hint of appreciation flashed in President Zhang's eyes. "I'm here today on behalf of Tencent IEG to acquire all the code, data, and copyrights of the games 'Happy Farm' and 'Parking Wars'."

"Li Feng, I know that Mr. Wang from SNG previously offered you five million. Today I'm here in person, and my offer is a flat rate of twenty million RMB."

"After tax. The legal team is right downstairs in their car. As long as you nod, the contract will be signed immediately, and the funds will arrive within 48 hours."

Twenty million.

When Li Feng heard this number, his heart skipped a beat.

This offer was actually very close to his expectations.

After all, the technical barriers to these two games are too low. If Tencent really breaks the ice and plagiarizes pixel-perfectly, it doesn't have many countermeasures other than a lengthy lawsuit.

Selling them to raise initial capital is the wise choice.

However, business is business.

"Mr. Zhang is straightforward." Li Feng interlaced his fingers and calmly uttered a number, "However, I want twenty-five million."

He had thought that if he raised the price by five million, President Zhang would at least try to negotiate a few rounds or try to lower the price.

however--

"make a deal."

Without even a second's hesitation, President Zhang answered crisply and decisively, standing up and extending his right hand: "President Li, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you."

Li Feng was stunned for a moment, and even when he held President Zhang's thick hands, he still felt a little unreal.

You agreed...too quickly!

A price difference of five million RMB, just wiped out without batting an eye?

After half an hour.

Penguin's legal team carried briefcases upstairs and efficiently reviewed the contracts, signing all the technology transfer agreements and copyright handover documents.

As President Zhang left with his men and the hard drive full of source code, the black Audi A8 slowly drove off the street.

Li Feng stood by the window, watching the car disappear into the distance, when he suddenly realized what had happened.

"No wonder...no wonder he agreed so readily!"

He slapped his forehead and laughed self-deprecatingly.

He finally figured out the key to it!

I was wondering before, how could such a serious internal power struggle at Tencent's top management, with Vice President Lin condoning his subordinates' actions that resulted in such a major personnel incident, be just a light "demotion to a marginal department to retire"?

There's only one answer—money to buy your life!

In order to avoid being forced to work on a sewing machine and to preserve his freedom and remaining assets, Vice President Lin's home was thoroughly ransacked by President Zhang!

The amount of money he's made and the amount he's coughed up over the years at Tencent is definitely far more than 25 million!

For President Zhang, the acquisition price was nothing more than a scrap of gold scraped from Vice President Lin's mountain of gold; why would he need to haggle over it?

"My vision is still too limited..."

Li Feng let out a long sigh.

In his past life, he was a lowly servant. In this life, although he carries memories of the future, his way of thinking is still at the level of a developer who is meticulous in making business decisions.

Real capitalists, on the other hand, play with human nature, power struggles, and resource integration by leveraging external forces!

However, Li Feng quickly came to terms with it.

Turning around, looking at the newly packaged "AngryBirds_v1.0.ipa" file on the computer screen, his eyes became brighter than ever before.

A broadened perspective can be cultivated, but he already possesses the capital.
