“What did you call him? President Yu?â€
Li Shancheng asked one of the male employees.
The latter nodded.
“Are you joking? I’ve never heard of him before,†said Situ Kun.
The male employee answered, “President Yu has just joined us recently. It’s normal that you haven’t heard of him.â€
He was actually the boss?!
Shancheng and Kun stared at the average-looking young man. The expressions on their faces instantly darkened.
They thought that Yu Tian was only a low position employee, but he was actually the boss!
Shortly after, four security guards showed up.
The commotion earlier was so loud that some of the employees had to notify security.
Upon seeing Yu Tian, the security guards greeted him respectfully.
“President Yu.â€
Looks of terror flashed over Shancheng and Kun’s faces.
One of the stronger-looking security guards turned to Yu Tian and asked, “President Yu, what happened here?â€
Yu Tian was about to answer when Shancheng quickly interrupted, “President Yu, we’re sorry. We didn’t know that you’re the boss.â€
Although Kun was unwilling to accept this fact, he had no choice but to tag along.
“President Yu, please forgive us.â€
Yu Tian was unperturbed. After all, these two men attacked him first.
He said flatly, “I would have been terribly beaten if I didn’t know any martial arts.â€
“No, no. Of course not!â€
Shancheng broke out into a cold sweat. He immediately knelt down.
Kun quietly did the same.
“President Yu, please give us a second chance. We were wrong. Please forgive us,†said Shancheng nervously.
Kun added through his gritted teeth, “I was offended because you insulted my work. I was really confident, and what you said…â€
“Tell me more about your project,†replied Yu Tian after a brief consideration.
Since they were here to propose a collaboration, Yu Tian decided to give them a chance to present their idea. Perhaps he would be satisfied.
Startled, Shancheng stared at Kun.
After taking a deep breath, Kun explained, “This saga-type video game allows players to recycle their in-game equipment. As long as the players are willing to spend their time in the game, they could earn money. The core of the game concept is free trade. Rest assured that the players will earn a profit from playing. This is a new win-win gaming model!â€
Yu Tian commented, “So how does the company benefit from this? Are we supplying free electricity out of kindness?â€
“President Yu, please hear me out. The players are free to trade however they want. We just need to increase the rate difference between in-game coins and real-life money. The price of the in-game equipment will also be increased…â€
“The novelty will wear off soon.â€
Yu Tian interrupted.
“Then we’ll keep developing new areas. Besides, we can leave once we gain enough profit…â€
“That’s scamming.â€
Yu Tian shook his head.
Shancheng and Kun dared not argue further.
After all, the young man was the boss of this company.
An awkward silence filled the room.
Yu Tian was thinking with his eyes shut. The rest of them remained quiet out of fear.
Shancheng and Kun lowered their gazes to the ground while waiting to hear from Yu Tian.
Finally, the latter said, “It’s not impossible. Perhaps we can give it a try.â€
After considering it, Yu Tian came to the conclusion that venturing into gaming might not be a bad idea.
He was personally interested in gaming. Being able to involve himself with game development would be more satisfying than anything else.
Secondly, since his elder sisters treated him so well, he wanted to show them his capability.
Although Kun was an impatient man, he had some good ideas.
The concept had potential. Yu Tian just needed to make some amendments!
“Huh?â€
Everyone seemed perplexed.
“As you have mentioned earlier, we’ll have free trade in the game. However, we can’t scam the players. I do not want to earn money through sleazy methods. We have to execute it properly.â€
Yu Tian looked at Kun.
“Being kind will not earn you any money,†said Kun without holding back.
Shancheng agreed.
“That’s right. President Yu, everyone else is doing the same thing. If we play by the book, we might not be able to break even.â€
“A really good and interesting game will always be well received,†said Yu Tian.
Besides, it was not as if he lacked money. He could wait for as long as it was needed for the profits to roll in.
“But this required a huge investment…â€
Kun stopped mid-sentence. He wanted to say that this would be a waste of time and effort, but he changed his mind after seeing Yu Tian’s confident expression.
Frankly, what the young man said was not wrong.
Players would be hooked as long as the game was interesting. The only difference was the amount of profit gained.
Actually, Yu Tian did not care if the game would go viral or not.
He just wanted to take it easy and test the water.
“It doesn’t matter how much we earned. It’s more important to garner a good reputation.â€
Yu Tian waved his hands dismissively in the air like an arrogant rich person.
Upon hearing that, Kun lowered his head. There was nothing much he could say.
“President Yu, are you thinking of venturing into the gaming market?†asked Shancheng.
“Yes.â€
“Then you should collaborate with Li Corporation!â€
Shancheng looked delighted.
“Collaborate with you?â€
Yu Tian narrowed his eyes.
“That’s right. We’re here today because we wanted to collaborate with your company. Our project is full of potential, but many companies dared not take the risks. President Yu, I’m sure we’ll succeed if you take the first step! I have faith in your decisions!â€
Shancheng began to flatter the young man.
Yu Tian chucked.
“A collaboration is not impossible.â€
“Really?!â€
Shancheng grinned from ear to ear. The wrinkles on his face collided with one and another.
Without saying anything else, Yu Tian took out his phone and called Chu Qing.
The call was picked up within seconds. He told the woman about what happened.
Chu Qing had Shancheng and Kun investigated and the results came back quickly.
“Li Corporation is a small company. There’s nothing much to talk about, but Li Shancheng is a good man who often engages in charity work. Situ Kun is not bad as well. He once received the Righteous Bravery Award.â€
After getting his answers, Yu Tian hung up the phone. He turned around and looked at the two men.
“President Yu, so…â€
Shancheng gulped in fear.
“Come to my office,†said Yu Tian.
Go to his office?!
Shancheng and Kun exchanged looks. They thought they had heard the young man wrongly.
However, upon seeing that Yu Tian was leaving, they quickly followed him closely from behind.
In the office, Yu Tian took his seat and spoke in a straightforward manner, “Tell me more about your proposal.â€
Immediately, Kun replied, “This is what I have in mind…â€
“President Yu, what do you think?â€
Yu Tian gave it some thought before shaking his head.
“It’s too old-fashioned. This concept already exists in the market. It’s not exciting.â€
“Do you have any ideas, President Yu?â€
Shancheng frowned. The young man appeared to be quite arrogant.
“We’ll venture into mobile gaming since that’s all the rage now. Let’s create a game where five players compete against each other…
“That’s all I have for now. We can discuss the details later.â€
Yu Tian told the men his idea.
When he raised his eyes to look at them, he was surprised to see the astonished looks on their faces.
“What’s the matter?â€
Yu Tian asked.
“Amazing! President Yu, how did you come up with that idea?â€
Kun could not resist clapping.
Shancheng agreed.
“It’s a great concept. No wonder you’re the president of this company. Incredible!â€
Li Corporation had a long history in the gaming industry. Therefore, Shancheng was well versed in terms of video games.
However, this young man without any background was able to take him by surprise!
Yu Tian did not really believe them and said, “Just be honest if the idea is terrible. Don’t try to flatter me.â€
“We’re not flattering you! The concept is seriously incredible! President Yu, you’ve got a bright mind!â€
“President Yu, can I work for your company? You don’t need to pay me. I just want to learn from you,†said Kun.
Shancheng was not offended to hear that. If he was not the chairman of Li Corporation, he would have asked for the same thing.
“President Yu, please take me in as your underling.â€
Kun echoed, “Me too!â€
