Chapter 61 The Boring Nature of Golf
In early June, Shenzhen was sunny and warm, with a gentle breeze carrying the heat of early summer.
The Mission Hills Golf Course in Nanshan District is covered in lush green grass.
As a newly rich internet tycoon with a net worth of billions, Li Feng was no exception. After finishing the preliminary coordination of Weibo Night these past few days, he was persuaded to get a top-tier black gold membership card to experience this so-called "exclusive to the upper class" sport.
"Whoosh—"
Li Feng swung his expensive custom-made titanium alloy golf club and delivered a powerful blow.
However, the golf ball only bounced twice on the grass before plunging into the nearby bunker in an ugly arc.
"Tsk, I really don't know what's so great about playing this lousy ball."
Somewhat disappointed, Li Feng casually tossed the golf club to the caddie beside him, took off his white glove, and said, "A bunch of grown men, chasing a little white ball on the grass under the blazing sun, they're just wasting their time."
Having lived two lives, he was still a practical man at heart. He had absolutely no interest in this so-called gentleman's movement used to highlight class barriers; on the contrary, he found it rather tedious.
"Boss, is this your first time playing? You haven't mastered the technique of applying force yet."
Standing to the side, Zhang Xinyu covered her mouth and chuckled. Today, she was wearing a fitted white golf mini skirt, and the tight polo shirt accentuated her impressive bust. Her long, straight legs were dazzlingly white in the sunlight.
In contrast to Li Feng's lack of interest, Zhang Xinyu was full of enthusiasm for the sport.
She took the club from the caddie, walked skillfully to the tee box, bent down slightly, and struck a standard and attractive swing pose.
With each movement, her shapely curves and the glimpses of spring beneath her short skirt instantly became the most beautiful sight on the entire green field.
"Bang!"
With a crisp sound of impact, the golf ball traced a perfect parabola through the air and landed steadily near the green.
"Boss, look! How did I do?" Zhang Xinyu turned her head excitedly, like a little girl waiting for praise.
However, when she turned around, she found that Li Feng's gaze was not on the ball that had flown away, but rather lingered unabashedly on her graceful figure, which was slightly damp with sweat.
Li Feng felt the heat accumulated from his swing instantly find an outlet.
He might not understand golf, but he was quite adept at playing with the beautiful woman in front of him.
"I'm not playing anymore, this stupid ball game is boring."
Li Feng strode forward, grabbed Zhang Xinyu's slender waist, and led her directly to the private VIP rest suite at the edge of the court. "Come on, play something else with me."
Zhang Xinyu gasped in surprise, feeling the man's hot, large hand. Her legs went weak instantly, and she leaned into his arms with a coquettish tone.
The door to the VIP suite was slammed shut, shutting out the scorching sun and lush greenery outside.
On the high-end leather sofa, a game far more intense than a round of golf quickly unfolded. Zhang Xinyu's expensive golf uniform was now scattered haphazardly across the priceless carpet…
After an unknown amount of time, the lounge finally returned to calm.
Zhang Xinyu, covered in fragrant sweat, lay lazily on Li Feng's strong chest.
"Buzzing—"
Just then, my phone, which was in my bag, suddenly started vibrating violently.
She frowned slightly, forced her aching body to get up, picked up her phone and looked at the screen. It was a call from Lao Chen, the technical director of the game development department.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xinyu quickly composed herself.
Her alluring gaze vanished instantly, and she cleared her slightly hoarse voice from the exercise before answering the phone.
"Hello, Director Chen, what's the matter?"
"Secretary Zhang, could you please inform General Manager Li?" Old Chen's voice on the other end of the phone was somewhat excited. "Our Plants vs. Zombies mobile version is finished! Also, the prototype of the independent video software developed by the platform department is almost complete, and everyone is waiting for General Manager Li to come and inspect and make his final decision when he has time!"
"Okay, please wait a moment."
Zhang Xinyu covered the microphone, turned to look at Li Feng, and repeated Lao Chen's report.
After listening, Li Feng glanced at the clock on the wall, stretched listlessly, and said, "This golf game already ruined my mood, and now I've lost all interest in relaxing. Tell him I'm coming right now."
"Director Chen, the boss said to go back to the company now." Zhang Xinyu finished giving the instructions over the phone, then hung up and struggled to her feet, her legs feeling weak, to help Li Feng get dressed.
Half an hour later, the black Rolls-Royce Phantom drove into the Haofeng Network headquarters building.
In the testing area of the game development hall, Lao Chen and several lead programmers had been waiting for quite some time.
"Mr. Li, please give it a try." Old Chen respectfully handed over a test iPhone.
Li Feng took the phone and tapped the zombie icon with an iron bucket on the screen.
As the classic background music began, sunflowers, pea shooters, wall-nuts, and other plants lined up in succession. Li Feng's fingers moved rapidly across the touchscreen; the smoothness of collecting sunlight and the physical feedback when zombies fell were both perfectly replicated from the original version in his previous life!
"Very good, the feel has been optimized very well."
Li Feng tossed his phone onto the table with satisfaction, giving his approval.
Old Chen beamed and quickly reported, "Mr. Li, there's more good news! The full PC version of Plants vs. Zombies, which we released on Steam at the end of last month, has sold very well in the past two weeks! It's already sold over a hundred thousand copies, which is all real US dollars!"
However, to Lao Chen's surprise, Li Feng reacted rather indifferently to this "good news".
"Only a few hundred thousand copies. After deducting the platform's commission, it's just a drop in the bucket."
Li Feng waved his hand dismissively, "The PC single-player game market has too low a ceiling. This thing is just a bonus to hype up our mobile version. Tell the guys, don't waste your energy on the subsequent operation on Steam. Our absolute focus will always be the upcoming iOS mobile version!"
Old Chen felt a chill run down his spine and quickly nodded in agreement.
After inspecting the game, Li Feng went to the platform development department.
In the conference room, the project manager showed the initial version of the video playback software called "iQiyi".
The interface is clean and well-organized. More importantly, the massive film and television copyright library that the film and television department acquired with over 100 million yuan has been initially populated in the backend.
"The underlying software framework is fine; we can start preparing for warm-up."
Looking at the screen, Li Feng issued the core instruction: "Remember, our video software doesn't need a separate registration system! It must be forcibly linked to Haofeng's Weibo account, implementing 'one-click login'!"
"We need to seamlessly migrate those 20-30 million daily active users from Weibo to the video platform! Not only that, but users' comments and bullet screen messages while watching dramas should also be able to be shared to Weibo's public square with a single click. Use social interaction to drive content, and use content to support social interaction—weld these two moats together tightly!"
The project manager responded loudly, "Understood, Mr. Li! We'll start debugging the interface immediately!"
After inspecting the two core businesses, Li Feng returned to his president's office.
He stood in front of the whiteboard, picked up a marker, and his mind drifted back to those addictive casual games that had dominated his phone screen in his past life.
With a few quick strokes, he drew a matrix of squares made up of various small animal heads on the left side of the whiteboard, and a little person carrying a jetpack on the right side.
"Old Chen!" Li Feng called the technical director in.
"Mr. Li, are you starting a new project again?" Old Chen looked at the sketch on the whiteboard and rubbed his hands excitedly.
"Strike while the iron is hot and solidify our monopoly in the casual game industry."
Li Feng tapped the animal blocks on the left with his pen. "The first one, codenamed 'Happy Match.' Core gameplay: match-3! Plus endless levels and obstacles like ice blocks and vines. Most importantly, this game will be integrated with Weibo's friend leaderboard, allowing players to see what level their friends have reached!"
Then, he pointed to the jetpack character on the right, "The second one, codenamed 'Crazy Jetpack.' It's a side-scrolling parkour game, one-finger control. Touch the screen and the character flies upwards, release and it falls downwards. Dodge electric grids and missiles, and collect coins."
"These two games will follow the same old path. First, create a stripped-down Flash web version and put it on Weibo to attract traffic, then focus on developing the iOS mobile version. Can they release it in three months?"
"No problem, Mr. Li! The logic behind these two approaches isn't complicated, we can definitely get it done in three months!" Old Chen made a solemn pledge and excitedly took the sketches drawn by Li Feng back to initiate the project.
After arranging everything, Li Feng raised his wrist and glanced at the Patek Philippe watch.
Only two hours had passed since he stepped into the company.
"Phew... Three project meetings in a row, it's really exhausting."
Li Feng stretched, yawned, and showed a hint of "tiredness" on his face.
For him now, two hours of intense mental work at the company is already his limit. After all, he's a ruthless capitalist now, not some beast of burden coming to a big company to earn some good karma.
"get off work."
Li Feng casually picked up the suit jacket draped over the sofa. "Xinyu, tell the driver to prepare the car. Let's go home."
"Okay, boss." Zhang Xinyu quickly followed.
The black Rolls-Royce Phantom drove out of the technology park and smoothly drove back to the top-tier detached villas in Shuixie Mountain.
Li Feng leaned back in the spacious and luxurious back seat, closing his eyes to rest.
Two hours of intense brainstorming in the afternoon made him feel that he needed to relax properly tonight.
He opened his eyes, glanced at Zhang Xinyu sitting beside him, and gave a curt instruction:
"Give Yang Mi a call."
"Tell her to make her schedule free tonight and come to Shuixie Mountain to see me."
