Chapter 446 Fujiko has been possessed
2 month 22 number.
How should I put this date?
The day with the most 2s in a year.
It doesn't sound very auspicious.
Last night, Yifeng received a notification.
This morning, I went to Tencent's headquarters for a meeting.
It's not the kind of place where game project teams usually hold meetings, give presentations, and work.
It's actually Tencent's headquarters.
It is the center of power in the TX Empire.
It is the heart of this massive business machine.
Yifeng had never been here before.
It's not that I didn't want to come.
They are not qualified.
Even Su Ming, who was previously known for his work, was only summoned once after Delta became a sensation.
And this time...
The meeting regarding Delta's overseas regional servers was held here.
Yi Feng sat in the car, watching the Shenzhen street scene recede outside the window, and for a moment he couldn't quite describe his feelings.
His briefcase was placed on his lap.
It contained two documents.
One document was the "Delta Global Regional Server and Event Ecosystem Construction Plan," which he compiled overnight.
The other document was a resignation letter.
Yi Feng gently pressed his fingers against the edge of his briefcase, suddenly wanting to send Jiang Feng a message.
I want to say something.
Ask him what he thinks.
Or simply to tell him.
The delta is going to go to a more distant place.
But after taking the phone out, he put it back.
In the end, he didn't post anything.
This is his battlefield.
Even if Jiang Feng becomes popular, he is still a live streamer, and he has to face that reality.
Today's meeting is a place that Yifeng must enter himself.
The car stopped.
The conference secretary was already waiting for him downstairs.
Yi Feng straightened his collar, picked up his briefcase, and followed the other person inside.
As the elevator ascended, he watched the constantly changing floor numbers and felt a sense of unreality.
Until the conference room door was pushed open.
He then realized that the scale of this meeting was even higher than he had imagined.
Many people were already seated on both sides of the long table.
Game business line.
International business.
Legal services.
finance.
Brand.
The competition.
There were also a few high-ranking officials whom Yifeng had only seen in the group's internal news.
What confused him the most was...
Next to the head of the table sat someone I knew all too well.
Even Little Ma (Ma Huateng, a famous Chinese businessman) came.
Yi Feng paused slightly.
Then, as if in a dream, he walked to his place.
sit down.
turn on computer.
Connect to screen mirroring.
The report begins.
In the first half, he talked about data on overseas players.
This discusses issues with older versions of the international server.
Discuss the situation regarding contact with overseas capital.
Explain the significance of region-specific servers.
In the latter half, he talked about four bottom lines: compliance, operation, competition, and ecosystem.
This explains why the exclusive server isn't an agency right, but rather a regional qualification.
Explain why short-term licensing fees are acceptable, but long-term control of the ecosystem cannot be relinquished.
Explain why S3 must launch a regional server.
Why must regional leagues be started in Season 4?
Why can't the first Delta Force Global Finals be postponed any longer?
He had expected it to be a tough debate.
It could even be a direct confrontation.
That's why he spoke very firmly.
He left himself no way out with every word he uttered.
But strangely enough...
No one interrupted him in the meeting room.
Everyone was listening attentively.
Some people even took notes on the documents while listening.
After Yifeng finished speaking the last sentence.
"This is the path to globalization of the Delta."
There was a two-second silence in the conference room.
Then, applause broke out.
At first, it was just a few sporadic bursts.
Soon, applause erupted.
In the end, it exploded like a thunderclap in the conference room.
Yi Feng stood there, somewhat dazed.
He even doubted whether he had misheard.
This was not the scene he had envisioned.
He had anticipated the questioning.
I anticipated the opposition.
He anticipated that someone might pressure him with short-term income.
I anticipated that I would have to argue my case, and even slam my resignation letter on the table in the end.
But he hadn't expected applause.
I never expected the applause to be so enthusiastic.
The first to speak was a senior executive from the gaming business line.
He closed the plan in his hand, his tone clearly showing satisfaction.
"Well said."
"Very clear, and very restrained."
"I wasn't blinded by the current hype."
"This is very rare."
Another person in charge of international business took over the conversation.
"Your project team's assessment of the overseas servers is correct."
"If we were just selling agency rights, we could certainly make a lot of money very quickly."
"But that's the shallowest layer."
"Given the current hype surrounding Delta, overseas capital isn't coming in to buy just a server."
"They are vying for a ticket to the future global esports ecosystem."
The legal representative nodded in agreement.
"Compliance and default recovery clauses must be included upfront."
"I agree with that."
"In the past, many projects went overseas and, in order to speed up and generate revenue, they loosened the local operating rights too much in the early stages. When problems arose later, they had to revise the contracts, which was extremely costly."
"It's correct that you put ecological responsibility at the very beginning of your plan."
The finance manager flipped through the documents and smiled.
"Short-term profits will indeed be lower."
"But it's not unacceptable."
"If Delta can truly become a global region, the commercial potential from skins, passes, tournament items, broadcasting rights, sponsorships, co-branding, and offline events will far exceed the one-time licensing fee."
"This is not a difficult problem to solve."
As Yi Feng listened to these words, his fingers unconsciously tightened.
He finally realized it.
I seem to have underestimated these people's vision.
It's not that they can't see the money right in front of them.
They just knew better what was more valuable than the money in front of them.
At this moment, Ma Huateng, who hadn't said much until now, finally raised his head.
The meeting room fell silent instantly.
Little Ma looked at Yi Feng, his tone very calm.
"You just said that when Riot Games went global with League of Legends, they didn't just focus on immediate profits."
I completely agree with that statement.
He gently tapped the plan in front of him.
"Actually, the same applies to Tencent."
"League of Legends is very successful."
"But it is ultimately not our own child."
"We participated in its growth and learned a lot from it."
"But that kind of success will always have a part that belongs to the fist."
No one spoke in the meeting room.
Ma Huateng continued:
"The Delta is different."
"This is a project that grew out of our own system."
"Its success today is not only due to the project team's achievement, but also the result of Tencent Games' years of accumulated experience in R&D, operations, esports, content ecosystem, and anti-cheating system."
"Therefore, we certainly won't treat it as a short-term transaction."
"It's my own child, and he's finally grown up to this height."
"How could I only be thinking about getting a good price?"
"We at Tencent don't lack money! We only lack good games and good stories!"
Upon hearing these words, the tension that had been building up in Yi Feng's heart suddenly eased.
He originally thought he was going to be a loyal minister.
As it turned out, the higher-ups understood the value of the Delta better than he had imagined.
