Chapter 159 DOTA2
Chapter 159 DOTA2
The next day at noon, on the outskirts of Jinling, at that ancient temple with its flourishing incense offerings.
It was early spring, and there weren't many pilgrims coming and going.
On the bluestone path leading to the Guanyin Temple, two women wearing sunglasses and masks were walking hurriedly inside.
Leading the way was Yang Mi, who had just experienced a storm at Zijinshan Manor the night before.
Although her body was still aching, a near-obsessive anxiety burned in her eyes.
Following behind her was Reba, a beautiful woman from Xinjiang who was also bundled up.
As Yang Mi's trusted ally, Dilraba has now become almost Yang Mi's shadow in the company.
In order to secure her favor, Yang Mi would often take Dilraba to Zijin Mountain.
Therefore, Dilraba knew everything about the secrets between the boss and those top actresses, and naturally understood Yang Mi's frustration at the moment.
"I just don't understand!"
As Yang Mi walked, she gritted her teeth and muttered a complaint, "I already checked, there's absolutely nothing wrong with my body, I can definitely have children! Since she can get pregnant, it means the boss is fine too!"
"But why... why did she have to get pregnant first?!"
Yang Mi's eyes were red with anger.
The annual data review of Haofeng's Weibo this year is about to begin, and her popularity and commercial value still remain number one across the entire internet!
She is even confident that the title of "Weibo Queen" will remain hers for the next two years!
But what good is that?!
Even if she wins ten Weibo Queen titles, can they compare to that woman's get-out-of-jail-free card inside her belly?!
"Look at what the company has been doing lately!"
Yang Mi grew angrier the more she thought about it. "Old Han hinted a couple of days ago that he's going to postpone 'Let's Get Married' until next year!"
"What is he doing?! Isn't it obvious?!"
Yang Mi dug her nails into her palms. "Does Li Xin really have the ability to push Liu Yifei's Weibo ranking down to fifth? Isn't it just to avoid the 'Four Little Actresses' gala in June?!"
"How much money have I, Yang Mi, made for the company through all my hard work? What good have three years of being number one?!"
"Without children, my so-called status as Haofeng's number one sister is nothing but a castle in the air!"
Seeing Yang Mi's near-collapse, Dilraba, who was following behind, was also terrified.
In this cruel arena of fame and fortune, she has come to understand the rules of survival.
"Sister Honey, don't worry."
Dilraba quickly stepped forward and took Yang Mi's arm, gently comforting her, "These things, the more you rush, the less likely it is to happen. In my hometown, there are actually many secret recipes for conceiving passed down from generation to generation. I heard that adjusting your diet and using traditional Chinese medicine can help many women who have difficulty conceiving to get pregnant in the end."
"real?!"
Yang Mi gripped Dilraba's hand tightly, as if she had grasped a lifeline.
"Have your family inquire right now! No matter the cost, find all those folk remedies for me! I'll endure any hardship as long as I can get pregnant!"
"Yes, yes! I'll call my mom as soon as I get back!" Reba nodded repeatedly, accompanied Yang Mi into the temple of the Goddess of Fertility, and knelt down devoutly.
……
Meanwhile, in Nanshan District, Shenzhen, at the Fiyta Building.
Inside the highest-level meeting room of the Penguin Empire, the atmosphere was equally enthusiastic, but it also exuded a long-lost sense of triumph!
"Mr. Ma! Great news!" The head of the overseas investment department held up a fax from across the ocean.
"Our team in Seattle has lived up to expectations! We finally managed to get Valve on board in the US!"
"We've secured the exclusive distribution rights for DOTA 2 in Greater China! The official Chinese server launch could be as early as next year!"
Pony Ma, sitting in the main seat, showed a rare smile upon hearing the news.
"Good! Well done!"
During this period, Tencent has suffered a lot of humiliation in the gaming industry.
Haofeng Network's "League of Legends" has not only spread like wildfire in internet cafes across the country, leaving "Dream of the Three Kingdoms" with no chance to fight back, but its university league and city championship have also pushed netizens' enthusiasm for e-sports to its peak.
Faced with a series of setbacks, Tencent urgently needs a masterpiece with authentic competitive spirit and hardcore foundation to stabilize its position!
DOTA2 is undoubtedly the only weapon on the market that can rival LOL in the MOBA arena!
"It's not just about games, Mr. Ma!" Zhang Xiaolong from the WeChat business unit stood up.
The latest version of WeChat has added the "Moments" feature! This is a brand new social mode that differs from the public forum-style social interaction of Weibo—private social sharing!
"In this circle, only those who have added each other as friends can see each other's posts and comments; it's essentially an information cocoon among acquaintances!"
"Furthermore, our third-party electronic payment license approval process has entered its final sprint! Conservatively estimated, the 'WeChat Pay' function will be officially integrated into WeChat by early 2014!"
Upon hearing the words "WeChat Pay," Pony Ma seemed to see the final battle of the future internet!
"Haofeng Networks? Li Feng?"
"Li Feng is indeed a genius in the pan-entertainment field, with a sharp eye for game development, Weibo, and copyright acquisition. But he's still too young!"
"With so much cash on hand, why did he go to Xuzhou to build a thankless semiconductor factory and lithography machines? He's just wasting money on appearances!"
"Does he think he can stand shoulder to shoulder with Tencent just by having a few hit movies?"
Pony looked at the executives present and said firmly:
"Go check Haofeng Group's financial report from last year! Even with all their hard work and overseas revenue, they could only earn a maximum of three to four billion RMB a year!"
"And what about us, Tencent?! Last year, our net profit was over 10 billion!"
"Alibaba in Hangzhou and Baidu in Beijing are both giants in the 10 billion yuan club!"
"Compared to BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent), Haofeng's current size is simply not enough!" Pony Ma looked towards the north.
"The real threat to Tencent has never been Haofeng, who's content with his isolated position, but rather Jack Ma from Hangzhou!"
"O2O food delivery, ride-hailing apps, and even future offline QR code payments... these are the everyday scenarios that affect people's lives—these are the battlefields where we and Alibaba will fight tooth and nail!"
