Chapter 152: Poaching and Intercepting My World [Subscription Request]

December 12st at 21pm.

After Wang Chengguang and Xiao Ma Ge finished a dinner party and returned to the hotel, he was in a much better mood. Pony was really helpful and the friends he introduced were very important.

If Wang Pengqi continues to develop in Shanghai in the future, he will have more people to help him when he encounters various messy things and accidents.

Of course, it is not impossible for Wang Pengqi to go to a tertiary hospital in Beijing for an interview or apply for a job, but the same thing applies, leaving aside the various problems in the hospital.

As a human being living in the world, there are people who specifically target you... You can't guard against thieves for a thousand days, you can never be too defensive.

After he returned to the hotel room and drank a cup of tea, he looked at Gu Jingjing who came from Beijing yesterday and asked, "Have you found out who hired Gu Qian and another beautiful girl from our county to do this?"

Gu Jingjing shook her head, "Not yet. Gu Qian and the blind date girl from your county both received money from the middleman to do things. Gu Qian got evidence of bribery and corruption to corrupt my third cousin. One million, and if there is other evidence, the more things there are, the more valuable it is."

"The blind date with my third cousin in my hometown was promised to give her a house of no less than 100 square meters in Shanghai."

"But the clue ends at the gloves..."

Wang Chengguang was not surprised. It was not so easy for big capitalists to expose themselves. Once the secrets were leaked, Wang Chengguang would definitely fight back.

Just as he was enjoying Gu Jingjing's massage, Zhong Miaomiao came out of the suite and said in surprise, "Brother Guang, it's a text message from Lu Tao. He said he just found out what happened in our family."

"Xu Zhisen said that the Liang family from Hong Kong Island was responsible for this. They were the family of Liang Zhengxian who was detained by Principal Liu for a month."

Wang Chengguang suddenly realized, "It's them? It's both unreasonable and expected."

It’s not that he didn’t suspect the Liang family in this matter, but he hadn’t found any evidence yet.

The Liang family was just an ordinary one among those who wanted to acquire shares in Financing Spark from the beginning to the end. They had suffered serious losses in the financial crisis and planned to seek help from Financing Spark... to get ashore.

One thing must be made clear, it is now late December.

The share prices of major Internet companies such as Zhalang, Alibaba and Sohu are still at a low point and look like they are in a bad state. However, the share prices of major companies such as Tencent Holdings Ltd. and NetEase, which have various game companies backed by various popular games, have begun to rise again, thanks to their share prices being boosted by various popular games.

The Spark platform has transferred Happy Farm to three platforms, but Plants vs. Zombies includes King of Heroes Card Game and Three Kingdoms Tower Defense, including the subsequently launched Journey to the West and Fengshen Tower Defense web games.

They are all exploding one after another and becoming more popular than the other.

What the outside world doesn't know is that Wang Chengguang had already commissioned Shao Anna from the Jiahui Global Investment Group, whose head office is in England, to help him find and poach several game developers.

According to the original track, the first version of the sandbox game Minecraft was released in May 2009. Its developer, Marcus Persson, is a Swede who now works for King Group, a large casual game company in the UK.

He slowly worked out various game structures and settings of Minecraft, produced a trial version, then resigned from the company and devoted himself to running his own studio.

After Wang Chengguang’s great victory in October, he asked Shao Anna to look for this person, including another important promoter of the Minecraft game, Jens Bergenstein, who is also from Sweden.

The two of them also got in touch and were trying out the stand-alone version of Plants vs. Zombies. They then sent international emails to privately chat with Wang Chengguang about the creativity, conceptual structure, etc. of "Minecraft".

International email chats don’t go too deep, too much.

But Wang Chengguang's random advice and new ideas were like lightning that could break through the cognitive barriers of the two people's thinking...

He offered the two men an annual salary of one million US dollars, and asked them to join Spark to develop "Minecraft". He decided on this plan and promised the two men that he would give them a 5% share once the game was completed.

The two of them are already going through the formalities of resigning and are waiting to fly to China to join the new project department of Spark Game Studio.

Minecraft was sold to Microsoft for US$2014 billion in September 9, and Pig Farmer obtained the agency rights in mainland China. With this game, he also created huge profits for the pig farm, including attracting a large number of new players.

This new game is the new backbone support pillar of the Xinghuo Weibo Game Center.

Wang Chengguang did not copy it verbatim like he did with Plants vs. Zombies because he was afraid that the information he had memorized before was incomplete... and there would be copyright disputes and other similar problems.

Plants vs. Zombies has not yet been sold to Europe and the United States, but a factory in Europe and the United States did come out and said that Plants vs. Zombies had similar concepts to the games they were developing and plagiarized.

Want to sue.

It's just that after the legal team studied a lot of things, they found that the Spark version of Plants vs. Zombies was fully and greatly improved by a North American factory, and its various gameplay structures were several versions more advanced than yours.

If you say that Xinghuo copied them, even if the judge supports it with his eyes closed, it may still cause public criticism and ridicule...

This is like the Apple 6S smartphone, which is selling well all over the world, and suddenly someone comes out with a half-finished Apple 3, accusing the other party of plagiarism and causing a copyright dispute.

It's a bit ridiculous that a half-finished product accuses a few more perfect versions.

The incident didn't become a big deal.

Because of that little dispute, his development of Minecraft was actually a way to intercept and recruit developers from the original track.

After selling well for several years, it can still be sold out for 25 billion US dollars. This super classic sandbox game that has taken the world by storm, even if it changes its surname to Wang in advance, is also a basic operation for a time traveler.

What we are pursuing here is not how much money a game can make, but how Spark Games can drive Spark Payment and further expand the payment market.

After the financial crisis, many investors are still optimistic about Spark. They also have the precedents of Penguin and NetEase, and know the power and terror of the game blood-making machine. Spark Games is stable and powerful! !
Wang Chengguang took another sip of tea. "The stock market will open tomorrow. What is the market value of the Liang Group by the end of the week?"

Gu Jingjing thought for a moment, "I remember when Xiao Liang went in, I looked at the stock price. It was worth 50 billion, and before the financial crisis, it was worth more than billion Hong Kong dollars."

"Compared with Li Chaoren and others, it is far behind and is only considered a second-tier city. However, it is also a city where Hong Kong businessmen have invested in the mainland and followed the construction trend. They have real estate projects in Beijing and Shangyang."

"The Liang family's shareholding should have been around 31% at the time, and the family's net worth was more than HK$15 billion. Of course, they also had real estate, properties and cash flow that were not included in the listed group."

"During the financial crisis, Liang Zhengxian's uncle lost 200 to 300 million yuan in foreign exchange trading and his account was liquidated."

Wang Chengguang nodded, "Wait until the market opens tomorrow to see the specific market conditions. I will go meet Xu Zhisen. If he is sure, we will have a good fight in the stock market."

Wang Chengguang wanted to snipe or seize the power of a listed group with a market value of more than 50 billion yuan. Does he have money? Yes.

When he was setting up the Xinghuo online store, which was a non-deceptive online computer shopping business, to compete with Taobao and Zhifubao's counterfeit and shoddy products, and to improve the image of Xinghuo Payment, he said that he originally wanted to buy several hundred acres of land near the Fourth Ring Road to build a villa after the financial crisis...

There are still more than ten billion left!
Originally, the tens of billions were intended for buying land and building houses, but Meng Laicai insisted on transferring and reselling his 100 acres, leaving the land largely idle.

In the first three quarters of 2008, before the financial crisis, the land price in Beijing was basically equivalent to 3500 yuan per square meter. This was the land price. One acre of land at 666 yuan was equivalent to more than 230 million yuan.

One hundred acres of residential land would cost 2.3 million yuan on average at the auction.

After the financial crisis, the real estate market fell sharply in the cold winter. Meng Laicai sold him 100 acres of land, but the other party insisted on selling it for one yuan. Wang Chengguang couldn't take advantage of that, so he settled the deal at the market price of more than 100 million yuan.

Not to mention the more than one billion yuan he had reserved for buying the land, the private savings of Wu Xiaowei, Gu Jingjing, Zhong Miaomiao, and Wang Manni, after going through the financial crisis, turned into more than 100 million yuan, which was enough to easily pay for the acres of residential land.

The land Wang Chengguang bought is in the Fourth Ring Road, which has height restrictions...and the land prices are far lower than those in the Second and Third Ring Roads.

The more than one billion yuan he reserved was originally used for the second round of business war with Zhifubao, but now it is transferred to snipe the Liang Group, including acquiring shares and seizing power. In fact, it doesn’t matter as it will not hinder the subsequent business war.

As long as he gets the shares of Liang Group, the other party will also have various real estate projects, commercial office buildings and community projects in Beijing Shangyang!
This equity can be mortgaged to ICBC and money can be easily borrowed.

His business operations of this scale are already the standard for honest people in the market. Those who are dishonest can be seen as Ali Jack in the late 10s, including Wei Zhentian.

Those who use tens of millions to leverage billions are unscrupulous players.

Wang Chengguang took the equity shares with a market value of more than 10 billion yuan, and only borrowed more than 10 billion yuan to fight the next round of business war? Jack Ma would cry to death. How could he be beaten by such an honest and stupid colleague?

………………

A new day, go to Fuxing Road in Shanghai.

Wang Chengguang drove to a certain western-style villa. Lu Tao quickly walked out and said politely and full of emotion, "Old Wang, if Xu Zhisen hadn't said it yesterday, I really wouldn't have thought that your business war would be so high-end."

"Tsk, now I know why the honey trap is so enduring. Come on, we're having dinner at home, do you want to join us?"

Wang Chengguang laughed, "No need to trouble you, I just came to ask, how did Mr. Xu know for sure it was the Liang family?"

Lu Tao rolled his eyes. "Liang Zhengxian said it himself. After he got out, he went to Xu Zhisen to complain. He was a little drunk and then he broke the news. He also said that he would find an opportunity to strike you down when you are down and out."

"A few days ago, Liang Zhengxian was beaten up by a group of people. He was put in a sack outside the bar. He felt very wronged."

"The honey trap was carried out by his father. By the way, this is the evidence Xu Zhisen recorded at the time."

Wang Chengguang, “…”

Is it okay for someone who was wronged and drunk to reveal the truth in person? There are recordings.

After he finished listening to the recording, he found that it was indeed Ah Xian's own revelation.

Lu Tao said awkwardly, "Xu Zhisen said that what he did was not fair and decent. He used to have many dealings with groups like the Liang family, and they always had a good relationship."

"But Old Xu said he can't have children anymore and he's getting older. He wants me to have a chance to ask you for help if I run into trouble in the future. If you want to attack the Liang Group, he can also cooperate. Can he take out 1 billion yuan? Can we invite him in?"

Wang Chengguang was speechless.

He was not sure whether this was Xu Zhisen's true thought, or whether he just wanted to make a fortune with him, or whether he had a legitimate excuse to make a fortune.

In Xu Zhisen's struggle, after returning from North America, he was involved in buying land, carrying out projects, and building houses in Beijing and other inland cities, which were indeed closely connected with Hong Kong capital.

If they have a good relationship and you suddenly stab them in the back, it will ruin their reputation in that place.

But if he stabbed his friend for the sake of his son, there is a chance that he will be forgiven. The market value of the Liang family in the Liang Group has shrunk to around 15 billion.

Wang Chengguang took more than one billion and Xu Zhisen added another ten billion, and they easily seized power. There were too many major shareholders, small shareholders, etc. who sold off in the market.

The 4 trillion yuan answer to reporters’ questions was released last month, but before the money is actually invested in the market and takes effect, there are still many people who have doubts... The reality is that North America can’t bear it and the United States has given up.

There are many doubts about the mainland’s big plans.

If you ask global capital, who do you trust this year between China and the United States? Except for the Chinese, 90% of them invested in the United States.

Otherwise, there wouldn't have been official statistics in February 09 showing that the domestic market economy was hit by the financial crisis and there was widespread grief.

Wang Chengguang waved his hand again, "After listening to the recording, I won't go in."

Lu Tao was anxious, "I didn't tell them you were here when I came out, otherwise they would have all come out to greet you. If you leave now, my grandma will blame me for being rude and disrespectful. I didn't even know to invite a distinguished guest in when he arrived at my door. You are so ignorant."

Wang Chengguang, he remembered that Grandma Jiang really attached great importance to etiquette.

A moment later, Wang Chengguang, led by Lu Tao, arrived at the restaurant on the first floor of the Jiang residence. Looking at a large dining table filled with neatly arranged breakfast, the entire Jiang family, including Xu Zhisen and Xia Lin, all got up in a hurry.

Wang Chengguang smiled and said, "Sorry to interrupt your meal."

Grandma Jiang smiled and stood up. "You're not right to say that. You're Xiao Tao's classmate. Just treat this as your own home..."

Xu Zhisen also laughed. "I don't deserve it. Mr. Wang, you are here in person. My humble abode is honored. Mr. Wang, have you had breakfast? How about trying it? Although the family banquets at my humble abode are average and far inferior to Mr. Wang's daily meals, home-cooked meals can occasionally help people change their taste."

Jiang Pengfei, "..."

Jiang's mother, Jiang Nansun and others looked at each other in bewilderment.

This boss who has disappeared for more than 20 years and popped up again is really not shy, right? The Chiang family's old Western-style villa in the center of Shanghai, where every inch of land is valuable, and a large mansion from the Republic of China era, can also be called a humble abode?
Can this table be called just a home-cooked meal with a change of taste?!

Grandma Jiang's face was a little awkward, but when she saw Lu Tao's happy face, the old lady's heart melted.

Xia Lin also hurriedly said, "Boss Wang, do you want to eat something? I'll get you some bowls and chopsticks."

Wang Chengguang smiled and waved his hands, "No, really no, I just came to ask a question and say hello to Mr. Xu. Can you raise enough money in a few days?"

Xu Zhisen was ecstatic and suppressed his excitement, saying, "We'll all be there within three days."

Wang Chengguang nodded, "The Liang Group is at a low point right now. If we join forces to acquire it, the stock price will definitely rise..."

Xu Zhisen replied cheerfully, "As long as I follow Mr. Wang and acquire more than 51% and gain absolute say, I can marginalize the Liang family within the group, and the financial storm will surely pass, especially with the government's trillion stimulus."

"The real estate and hotels owned by the Liang Group in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen may be worth 10 to 20 billion yuan next year or the year after, or even 50 billion yuan."

Wang Chengguang nodded, "Then let Mr. Xu take charge of this matter. I will ask Jiahui Global to cooperate. I am not interested in real estate. This is just a counterattack. Afterwards, I will sell at a high price or cash out with real estate land and office buildings."

Xu Zhisen laughed, "Lu Tao, hurry up and pour some tea. It's early in the morning. I'll serve Mr. Wang a few cups of tea instead of wine."
