Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 1533 Nie Yunsheng: I Can Do It Too!

Translator: Atlas StudiosEditor: Atlas Studios

March 22nd, Friday.

Nie Yunsheng stepped onto Jingzhou soil, feeling smug.

This time, he had a huge responsibility on his shoulders. He wanted to rope Yan Qi’s Shu Li team and Dawn Games platform under the banner of the anti-Tengda Alliance!

Of course, this was a little difficult. After all, Jingzhou was Tengda’s territory.

However, it was precisely because of these cheap tricks that it was so exciting!

Nie Yunsheng felt that the possibility of success was not low.

On one hand, there were several gaming channels in the anti-Tengda Alliance and the support of a few investment firms. There was no lack of money.

To Yan Qi, he would definitely lack money if he made a game like Shu Li. The money earned from the previous mobile game, Blade of the Empire, would not be able to support him in developing this AAA game

completely.

ie Yunsheng would give him money, and he would not interfere too much. No one would go against money, right?

Of course, it was hard to say if Tengda would make a move. After all, Tengda was a sacred place in the eyes of domestic game designers. What’s more, Tengda was not short of money.

However, the problem was that since Yan Qi’s team did not publicize it widely, it probably meant that they did not get Tengda’s investment.

erhaps it was because it was dark under the light? Or perhaps it was because Tengda was more inclined to spend money on their own game projects and look down on other companies’ game projects?

o matter what, this gave Nie Yunsheng the possibility of theft!

ie Yunsheng could not help but think about what had happened previously.

Back then, Lu Mingliang could sneak into Shanghai alone and play tricks under his nose. He caught Shengyun Corporation off guard during the live-stream. Why couldn’t I, Nie Yunsheng, do the opposite and go to

Jingzhou to fight Tengda?

can go wherever you want!

ie Yunsheng came to the office building where Dawn Games platform and Yan Qi’s Shu Li team were with high fighting spirit.

This time, as long as he could pull Yan Qi’s team over, it would be a success. If he could pull Dawn Games platform over, it would be a huge win.

He could not possibly not be able to get any of them, right? That should be unlikely.

How could money fail completely?

This time, a Vice-President had followed over. What’s more, he had already communicated with Yan Qi.

tt sounded like Yan Qi’s attitude was more perfunctory, but he still agreed to meet and talk.

ie Yunsheng felt that this was normal. Shengyun Corporation was a logistics company after all. Ordinary people would not think that it was reliable to say that they wanted to invest in a game. It was normal for them

to be cold.

As long as they could meet.

That was because after meeting, Nie Yunsheng would display the game channels and investors who had already established a cooperative relationship. Yan Qi would see his sincerity and strength.

At that time, the success rate of cooperation would naturally increase greatly.

ie Yunsheng saw the situation of Shu Li’s team before meeting Yan Qi.

Yes, it was indeed as the rumors said. It was prosperous and lively!

He might not be able to see the specific game results but he could not disguise this mental state.

A positive team might not be able to produce successful products, but it was absolutely impossible for a team that was down and exhausted to make successful products.

However, Nie Yunsheng had new worries after seeing the office.

That was because he realized that Yan Qi’s team seemed to… not be particularly short of money?

f it was a startup team that lacked money, everything would definitely be simple. The office environment would definitely not be much better.

On the other hand, Yan Qi’s team’s office environment was obviously not bad.

Of course, whether a team was lacking money or not could not be judged from the current situation of the office. After all, some bosses liked to do face engineering. Even if they were poor, they had to have enough

face. Some bosses were more pragmatic. Even if the company was rich, they would not spend a lot of money to improve the office environment. They would put it nicely as maintaining the fighting spirit.

This differed from person to person. He had to ask in person to confirm if he was lacking money.

After walking through the office area, Nie Yunsheng saw Yan Qi in the guest room.

“Hello, Boss Yan!”

Yan Qi stood up and said very politely, “Hello, Boss Nie.”

Both of them shook hands and exchanged pleasantries before taking their seats.

ie Yunsheng cleverly chatted with Yan Qi about the game’s situation and development progress. Then, he asked, “Boss Yan, what’s the investment for this game?”

Yan Qi hesitated for a moment. “Er… a lot.”

He did not want to talk about the specific numbers. After all, the research and development budget was not something absolutely confidential. However, it was not appropriate to say that our game had spent more

than a hundred million yuan on it.

Whether he wanted to publicize it or not depended on the publicity strategy after the game was released.

ie Yunsheng probed, “Fifty million yuan?”

Yan Qi cleared his throat and did not say anything.

ie Yunsheng was shocked. He asked, “A hundred million yuan?”

Yan Qi reluctantly said, “I can’t divulge the exact amount, but… more or less.”

ie Yunsheng could not help but gasp. In his heart, he thought that this brother really dared to.

After some calculation, this was equivalent to a huge production overseas that cost more than ten million US dollars. It was really rash for a mobile game team to make such a resolute transformation.

However, this was good news for Nie Yunsheng.

That was because it meant that Yan Qi’s team would definitely not have enough money!

erhaps it was not enough after Yan Qi spent all the money earned by the Blade of the Empire. He found a few investors. However, no matter what, he would definitely lack money.

it was easy since he lacked money.

ie Yunsheng smiled. “Boss Yan’s spirit is really admirable! Actually, I’m not only here to represent Shengyun Corporation, but also to represent a few well-known game channels and investors in the country. It’s like

this. We are willing to provide financial help and won’t interfere too much with the creation of the game…”

ie Yunsheng first explained his strong strength, and then tried to reason with him. He moved his emotions and described various beautiful prospects.

Allin all, he would tie Yan Qi’s team to the tank first and talk about dealing with Tengda slowly in the future.

ff he laid his cards on the table now, he could easily scare them away.

ie Yunsheng felt that his conditions should be quite attractive, right?

Game designers would not go against money in order to complete the game.

Yan Qi sipped his tea silently, looking a little awkward.

He wanted to interject a few times, but Nie Yunsheng was too engrossed in his speech. In the end, he wanted to say something but hesitated.

it was only when Nie Yunsheng finished speaking that Yan Qi said in embarrassment, “Boss Nie, I’m really sorry. Our team… really doesn’t lack money.”

To be honest, this was a little awkward.

n fact, Yan Qi rejected it the moment he received the call.

He even wanted to say that Boss Pei had already invested in this project. However, Boss Pei’s only request back then was to keep it a secret. He could not reveal his relationship with Tengda to the outside world. Thus,

Yan Qi held it in and did not say anything.

n the end, Shengyun Corporation misunderstood. They thought that Yan Qi was being polite, so they insisted on meeting.

Yan Qi did not want to meet him, but Nie Yunsheng had personally come all the way to Jingzhou. It would not be right to not meet him.

That was why the current awkward situation happened.

Nie Yunsheng was stunned. “You don’t lack money?”

Why are you talking to me about this? It’s an investment of more than a hundred million yuan! Why did you pull in so much money as a small team that only worked on mobile games?

“Boss Yan, do you have any other requests? You can raise them. We can discuss it slowly.”

Yan Qi said very sincerely, “I’m sorry, Boss Nie. We really… don’t lack money.”

Nie Yunsheng blinked, looking confused.

Something was amiss with the script!

ie Yunsheng still could not figure out what was going on until he walked out of the office building.

o matter what he said, Yan Qi insisted that he was not short of money!

However, when he asked Yan Qi where he had taken the investment and how much he had taken, Yan Qi spoke in detail and stuttered. It was very suspicious.

ie Yunsheng was very depressed. He could only leave temporarily after trying but to no avail.

He went to Dawn Games platform on the way. In the end, it was even worse this time. He did not even see the person-in-charge there. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ Noᴠelꜰire

He was blocked back at the front desk.

Don’t ask why, it was as good as not seeing him!

This was quite ridiculous. Nie Yunsheng had never suffered such a blow.

He was the President of a listed company after all. He came all the way here and could not even meet him?

What the hell!

The Vice-President asked softly, “Boss Nie, what should we do next?”

He had not expected that his trip to Jingzhou would end in loneliness.

Nie Yunsheng’s expression was dark. Obviously, he could not hold it in anymore. However, he was the one who made the decision after all. He could not give up under such circumstances. He had to think of a solution.

“Yan Qi has been saying that he has enough money, but he is determined not to say which company invested in him. That’s very strange.”

“It feels like an excuse.”

“I think he probably still lacks money. However, he might have a good impression of Tengda. He might even be a fan of Tengda. That’s why he has a certain prejudice against us and is unwilling to take our money.”

“From his attitude, the possibility of us wanting to invest is not high. However, that does not mean that we cannot use this project!”

The Vice-President asked, “Eh? Does Boss Nie have another way?”

Nie Yunsheng sneered and said, “This company is in Jingzhou. Yan Qi probably asked Tengda to invest in it, but Tengda did not invest in it.”

“We can make an issue out of this point. We can first release some news about ‘Shu Li’, saying that this game is lacking in development funds and cannot achieve the best effect. Then, a few investment firms and game

channels will appear and say that they are willing to invest in this game.”

“After that, we publicized that this company is in Jingzhou, but Tengda was indifferent to it. Tengda said that it wanted to revive the domestically-produced games industry, but in the end, didn’t it still sweep itself

clean?”

“At the very least, this would deal a blow to Tengda’s reputation in the gaming circle!”

The Vice-President asked again, “What if Tengda really invested because of face after seeing this news?”

Nie Yunsheng shook his head slightly. “Yan Qi’s team is in Jingzhou. If Tengda wanted to invest, they would have invested long ago. Since they did not invest, they must not be optimistic about this game.”

“Investing tens of millions or a hundred million yuan into a game that you don’t like because of some pressure from public opinion? I don’t think that’s possible.”

“Even if Tengda really invested, we can say that they were forced by the pressure of public opinion to protect their character.”

“For Yan Qi’s team, he must be lacking money. This matter has caused a huge uproar. Both the team and the players want him to accept our investment and ensure the completion of the game.”

“If things blow up and Tengda doesn’t invest, Yan Qi might be forced by internal pressure to reconsidered and accept our investment.”

“All in all, Tengda did not invest in the game ‘Shu Li’. They had already lost! No matter what happens, we will not lose out!”.
