Chapter 135 Agreement
Xiong Xiaoge was left speechless by Qin Shaoyan's series of rhetorical questions. Looking at the other party's indignant look, he could only sigh, "Okay, Mr. Qin, just forget that I was wrong, okay?"

"What do you mean you are wrong?" Qin Shaoyan frowned, "Wrong is wrong, right is right. I, Qin Shaoyan, am a principled and reasonable person."

"Mr. Xiong, you can't communicate with your attitude."

Hey!
Xiong Xiaoge was angry, "Mr. Qin, you have to let me know where I went wrong."

Qin Shaoyan nodded, "For the sake of your sincerity, Mr. Xiong, I will tell you how you misunderstood me."

"All ears!" Xiong Xiaoge said with a solemn face.

"Mr. Xiong, we have a strategic cooperation and promotion agreement with Penguin, do you know this?" Qin Shaoyan asked rhetorically.

Xiong Xiaoge nodded. He knew this for sure. Qin Shaoyan had shown it to him before.

"For a price of three million, Penguin will promote the campus network for one year, including a package of framework agreements." Qin Shaoyan glanced at Xiong Xiaoge, "You have also invested in Penguin, and you should know how big the user base and traffic of Penguin are. Although I don’t know why you sold your Penguin shares again.”

Xiong Xiaoge coughed a few times, and his face turned dark to the naked eye.

Qin Shaoyan continued, "Don't you think it's strange that Penguin is such a big company and does a full set of promotions, but only charges 3 million from the campus network?"

Xiong Xiaoge thought for a while, "It's indeed strange."

"Why Penguin is willing to give such a big discount? It's because we have other agreements."

"Other agreements?!" Xiong Xiaoge was suddenly surprised, and then asked alertly, "What agreements did you and Penguin sign? Why didn't you tell us before that you were selling out the interests of the campus network?"

"You don't have to worry about this. This agreement has nothing to do with the campus network." Qin Shaoyan said unhurriedly, "This can be regarded as a gentleman's agreement between us."

Xiong Xiaoge frowned and asked curiously: "What kind of agreement is it?"

"This agreement is related to the game." Qin Shaoyan sighed, "Penguin only charges three million. That's because we signed a bundled agreement for game operations."

"Game? Operation?!" Xiong Xiaoge looked surprised and asked in confusion, "What's going on?"

As he spoke, Qin Shaoyan took out a contract from the safe and handed it to Xiong Xiaoge, "Take a look for yourself."

Xiong Xiaoge glanced at it briefly and quickly understood the contents of the contract.

The contract stipulates that once Qin Shaoyan's subordinate game company obtains the authorization from Valve to develop the online game "Counter-Strike", it must complete the development within three years.

Moreover, this online game can only be operated by Penguin and is not allowed to cooperate with other companies.

The content of the contract is very detailed, including the development time node. The development content should not be less than 50% when it is launched. Penguin will not interfere in Qin Shaoyan’s negotiations with V agency.

If Penguin wants to fully ensure the stable operation of "Counter-Strike OL", it must invest a certain amount of resources, such as royalties and sharing agreements.

Of course, the above also includes liquidated damages for both parties.

Xiong Xiaoge was silent after reading the contract and slowly returned the contract to Qin Shaoyan.

Qin Shaoyan snorted coldly, "Why am I working so hard to make games here? Is it to fulfill my promise to Penguin as soon as possible so that they can do their best to promote the campus network."

"Everything I do is for the campus network. Mr. Xiong, you criticize me indiscriminately. It's too much!"

Xiong Xiaoge felt a little ashamed and said sincerely: "I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, it's my fault. I apologize to you."

"There's no need to apologize." Qin Shaoyan said very generously, "Just stop interfering in my work in the future."

Xiong Xiaoge was about to nod in agreement when he suddenly frowned, "Mr. Qin, I don't have to interfere, but you have to explain to me what's the next step for the campus network?"

"Didn't I tell you?" Qin Shaoyan replied simply, "First the northeast, then the southwest, and finally the southeast."

"When?"

"Wait until I finish the game project at hand."

"Then how long will you be busy with this project?" Qin Shaoyan thought for a while, "More than a month, probably. After participating in the American exhibition next month, my campus network will take action."

Xiong Xiaoge reminded, "Your opponent will not stop if you stop him. A lot of things will happen in a month."

Qin Shaoyan smiled, "Campus Network has taken 300 million from IDG and Sequoia, and the other opponents are not worth mentioning."

"Others are indeed not a threat, but don't forget Southern Dazhong. They have also raised 45 million US dollars." Xiong Xiaoge warned, "Once they complete the integration of the Southern University market, they will go north immediately."

Qin Shaoyan said calmly, "I am looking forward to the performance of Dazhong.com."

Xiong Xiaoge smiled and said, "Mr. Qin is very confident."

Qin Shaoyan asked back: "Mr. Xiong, you can invest 100 million in the campus network. Don't you have confidence?"

"I'm also looking forward to the performance of the campus network this year." Xiong Xiaoge stood up and suddenly said, "Mr. Qin, can you take me to see your game?"

"No problem." Qin Shaoyan suddenly became energetic, threw the contract with Penguin in his hand into the safe, and then kicked the door of the safe closed with his foot.

Xiong Xiaoge felt a little confused after seeing Qin Shaoyan's flowing movements.

Why does this guy seem not to pay attention to the contract at all? He is not trying to fool me with a fake thing, right?
However, Xiong Xiaoge didn't ask him face to face and followed Qin Shaoyan to the workstation where the game team was in silence.

Seeing Qin Shaoyan's enthusiastic demonstration of the game demo, Xiong Xiaoge also watched it carefully for a while.

Although he doesn't understand games, he thinks Qin Shaoyan should make this game.

Hey, don't tell me, it's really interesting.

After Xiong Xiaoge said goodbye, he sat in his car and after thinking about it, he took out his cell phone and called Ma Huateng.

After a few pleasantries as usual, Xiong Xiaoge asked straight to the point: "Mr. Ma, do you have a promotion agreement with the campus network?"

Ma Huateng was stunned and hesitated, "Mr. Xiong, how did you know?"

"I invested 100 million in Campus Network. Qin Shaoyan, CEO of Campus Network, told me." Xiong Xiaoge asked, "Three million for one year's promotion."

"Uh, yes." Ma Huateng admitted simply, and then warned, "Mr. Xiong, you have to keep it secret for us."

"Don't worry, I won't go around talking nonsense." Xiong Xiaoge continued to ask, "Why does Penguin give such a favorable price to the campus network?"

"This..." Ma Huateng hesitated. Although the agreement he signed with Qin Shaoyan was not a secret agreement, business cooperation information should still be kept confidential.

Seeing that Ma Huateng was silent, Xiong Xiaoge added, "It must be because of that game."

"Ah?!" Ma Huateng was shocked, "Mr. Xiong, how did you know?"

Seeing Ma Huateng's reaction, Xiong Xiaoge breathed a sigh of relief and made sure that Qin Shaoyan did not fool him with a fake contract.

"I saw Qin Shaoyan playing a shooting game today at his place." Xiong Xiaoge explained.

"Shooting game?!" Ma Huateng was surprised and delighted, and quickly asked, "Mr. Xiong, have you seen it with your own eyes?"

"Yes." Xiong Xiaoge thought for a while, "Qin Shaoyan demonstrated it to me and found it quite exciting."

"F*ck!" Ma Huateng cursed, and then said quickly, "Mr. Xiong, I have to hang up now. Let's talk later."

Xiong Xiaoge frowned as he listened to the hang-up sound on his phone.

Why do you get so excited when you talk about games?

Is this game that fun?
