Becoming Rich with Daily Scavenging APP-Chapter 491: Founders Club

This is truly an unexpected pleasure.

However, Chen Yiyang was a bit confused after listening to Liu Xiaoyue.

What are these suppliers up to?

How come just days ago they were questioning my cash flow, hoping to shorten the account period, afraid I’d turn into a debtor?

And now, within a few days, they’ve collectively backed down?

No, didn’t I tell Liu Xiaoyue to arrange for payment within a month? Why is it now that even a month-long payment isn’t needed?

Chen Yiyang pondered, then asked Liu Xiaoyue, "Why did these suppliers compromise? Did someone step in, or has something changed dramatically?"

"Huh?" Liu Xiaoyue was puzzled by Chen Yiyang’s query.

"Haven’t you watched the news, Mr. Chen? Didn’t you invest in a game company recently?"

"Yeah, but what’s that got to do with this?" Chen Yiyang still didn’t get it.

"Why not take a look at the news?" Liu Xiaoyue hadn’t anticipated that Chen Yiyang hadn’t been following domestic news while abroad lately.

Chen Yiyang previously invested in Yingkumi, gaining a thirty percent stake.

However, with Yingkumi’s first two games making quite a bit of money.

Chen Yiyang’s attention towards Yingkumi had decreased.

Mainly because game companies generally distribute dividends at the end of the year.

Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyue’s suggestion, Chen Yiyang opened his phone to check the news.

’Yingkumi’s first open-world anime mobile game Yuan Chao breaks five billion in monthly revenue in its first month online!’

How much?!

Chen Yiyang was stunned.

A single game, generating five billion in monthly revenue.

After deducting the shares and taxes, you get around three to four billion, right?

Then subtract various costs and incentives.

The shareholders can split at least three billion.

Thirty billion cash in a month?

Holding thirty percent shares, he could pocket nine billion!

Chen Yiyang suddenly realized why those suppliers had become conciliatory.

Yingkumi is still an unlisted company.

With this level of profitability, if it wanted to go public, its market value could soar to over a trillion in no time.

Previously, Yingkumi’s two games had been generating several billion in stable monthly income. Three games, three blockbusters.

Such profitability and development skills clearly signaled another rise in online gaming.

All previous doubts about Chen Yiyang had become irrelevant.

Even if Yiyang Automobile suddenly collapsed, ending up several hundreds of billions in debt.

As long as Chen Yiyang sold his shares in Yingkumi, he could effortlessly patch up those holes.

Chen Yiyang hadn’t yet recovered from the joy.

Wu Changxun’s transcontinental call came through.

"Are you selling your shares in Yingkumi? Name your price, and Tengxu will promptly pay cash. I have the authorization here to offer up to a trillion in cash."

A trillion, in cash!

This equals nearly half of Chen Yiyang’s current worth!

"Has Tengxu gone mad?" was Chen Yiyang’s first reaction.

Yet when he thought about Tengxu’s scale and past acquisition cases.

It’s not overly exaggerated.

For example, Tengxu once paid eighty-six US dollars acquiring the Finnish game company behind Clash of Clans, which is roughly equivalent to a trillion.

And from the news Chen Yiyang just saw, Yingkumi’s games, including Yuan Chao, are not merely popular domestically but have a very high global buzz.

It practically dominated most of the anime game market share.

So when Tengxu offers a trillion, they’re buying not only the shares Chen Yiyang holds but also Yingkumi’s dominance in the anime game field.

If Yingkumi continues to develop this way, it might pose a threat to Tengxu’s dominance in the game sector.

"Just tell me if you’re selling." Wu Changxun said calmly, "I can also give you a piece of news; the ones coming after you are some founders from the internal club at Ali."

Chen Yiyang hasn’t yet decided whether to sell his shares.

Mainly because he quite likes Yingkumi’s three founders.

Currently, Chen Yiyang doesn’t have such a big cash need.

Moreover, if he took Tengxu’s trillion, it might draw greedy eyes; targeting him wouldn’t only involve Ali.

Speaking of Ali, it was also the first time Chen Yiyang learned from Wu Changxun who within Ali was coming after him.

The founder club is a mechanism built by Ali.

The main purpose is to ensure that Ali maintains super-voting rights to prevent investors from taking control of the company.

Simultaneously, the club’s dozens of partners can steer Ali in various directions.

Simply put, if Ma Yun is the emperor, these dozens of partners are the princes.

As long as the princes don’t revolt, Ma Yun can maintain power over the company.

Also, these dozens of princes have their own factions, ensuring fierce competition within Ali, intending to prevent employees from becoming complacent after Ali achieves monopoly.

Of course, this also results in many factions within Ali, with internal struggles far more intense than those in companies like Tengxu.

From what Wu Changxun suggests, the instigators are some members of the founder club.

Chen Yiyang immediately checked the news.

Then found that, coinciding with Ali’s declining monopoly in the e-commerce field.

Ma Yun was indeed considering reforming the founder club system, streamlining the number of partners.

Though these partners each have some shares in Ali, the amount isn’t much.

Once ejected from Ali, they might find it difficult to start their own business.

So, those sensing they’re about to be discarded by Ali are desperate, eyeing someone like him also thriving in Lin’an?

If they can parasitize by consuming some of his assets.

Perhaps they can secure their position within the founder club again.

This explains why there’s been no movement from Ali’s side because they have limited resources to mobilize and need external allies to besiege him.

"I’m still busy in Serbia." Contemplating this, Chen Yiyang replied to Wu Changxun, "Whether to sell shares, I’ll decide upon returning."

"Alright." Wu Changxun said regretfully, "Remember to contact me first when you’re back, and I’ll treat you to a meal. If you’re dissatisfied with the acquisition offer, we can still negotiate."

"Mm, okay."

After hanging up with Wu Changxun, Chen Yiyang checked his email.

He found that Cai Wei from Yingkumi had sent him an email shortly after the game’s launch, indicating good results, but nothing further.

Chen Yiyang could only take the initiative to call Cai Wei.

"Congratulations! I heard the new game’s results are explosive."

"Ah." It took Cai Wei some time to catch up and said, "Seems like I’ve made some money, but I’ve been swamped lately, so I didn’t inform you proactively."
