Super Island Tycoon

Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Old Fox!

This is true virtual reality! Forget VR, it’s streets ahead—this is how the wealthy describe it.

They believe the money was well spent! And they say if Cosmic Umbrella Technology has products in the future, they’ll definitely purchase them without hesitation!

Of course, after that, other things happened.

These devices were delivered to the hands of these wealthy individuals, who eagerly enjoyed them, and later, news media interviewed these elites.

During the interviews, these wealthy individuals couldn’t help but praise the devices, saying they had no words to describe how amazing they were.

”I really don’t know how to describe this magical Virtual Reality Device VI!”

”It’s incredible, I feel that in this world, no words of praise can accurately express how great this virtual reality device is! It’s the greatest invention of the century!!”

”Cosmic Umbrella, amazing!” Everyone was excitedly praising through the interviews with the wealthy.

The reactions of these elites invisibly increased the worldwide anticipation for the virtual reality devices!

Many people can’t afford the 10 million virtual reality devices, but 300,000 or 500,000, they can afford!

These people are eagerly anticipating Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company’s global sales campaign!!

......

The sale concluded.

Zhang Manlin quickly reported the income situation. First, aside from costs like promotion, tax, delivery, and production, the company earned about 60 billion dollars by filling in loopholes.

Sixty billion!

Upon hearing the news, Jiang Cheng immediately said to Zhang Manlin, ”Let’s start with the bonuses.”

”Hmm?” Zhang Manlin stopped. ”What did you say?”

”Bonuses.” Jiang Cheng smiled and said, ”Since you’ve made money, give the company’s employees some bonuses. I’ll leave it up to you.”

”Okay... okay.” Zhang Manlin nodded. He had no idea Jiang Cheng would do this, and he had to admit nothing is more powerful than a one-million-dollar bonus! The saying that money moves hearts applies directly to those who buy things, what could be more straightforward than this?

Though Jiang Cheng’s actions were generous, there were still many issues.

”But... the company still has many loans to pay, even this 60 billion isn’t enough, is this really okay?” Zhang Manlin asked.

”Will our company suffer losses?” Jiang Cheng laughed and said, ”Besides, where did you spend the money so quickly?” Anyway, soon enough, once we sell out the 10 million virtual reality devices, we could say, when the time comes, the loan money will sell out easily, but for now, I have other plans for this 60 billion!

”What else?” Zhang Manlin hesitated, unsure of Jiang Cheng’s intentions.

”What do you want to do? Is there something I can do?” Zhang Manlin instinctively asked.

”Alright.” Jiang Cheng nodded and said, ”Help me buy a factory—”

”A factory?” Zhang Manlin was unsure of Jiang Cheng’s intentions.

”Yes, preferably a factory related to graphene, I want to manufacture graphene.” Jiang Cheng began to smile.

”Graphene??” Hearing this, Zhang Manlin frowned and said, ”This new material—graphene—is said to change the 21st century. Though the name is grand, in practice, its application is unworkable, and the industry quickly became a bubble industry, considering entering at this time is an unwise choice.”

Jiang Cheng shook his head. ”Of course, my graphene is completely different from theirs. When did you get the impression I’m going to make graphene for them?”

This provoked Zhang Manlin’s response: ”Hmm... is there new technology? Well, since you told me, that’s what I’ll do!”

”No problem. If you unconditionally follow my orders, I won’t ask you to become the CEO of Cosmic Umbrella.” Jiang Cheng said calmly.

Zhang Manlin nodded and went to take action immediately.

However, Zhang Manlin didn’t leave for long before returning.

Jiang Cheng looked at Zhang Manlin, picked up a cup of coffee, and slowly drank for a long time. He said nothing, but his eyes seemed to say: ”What brought you back?”

Zhang Manlin knew the meaning of that look.

The other party said immediately, ”Tencent wants to collaborate with our company to develop a game.”

Then Zhang Manlin handed over a thick file.

Jiang Cheng glanced at the proposal, and with one look, he roughly understood Tencent’s intentions.

”I have a few ideas,” Jiang Cheng said sluggishly. ”Since President Ma wants to proceed this way, let’s set a time for a face-to-face discussion.”

”That’s it! I will convey your intention to them.” Zhang Manlin said, nodding.

Then Zhang Manlin turned around and left.

Jiang Cheng continued looking at the files on the table, a slight smile on his face.

It’s not surprising that President Ma from Tencent could find him; he is also ready to collaborate with someone, with mutual channels and resources, and the entire Penguin Empire! It’s a good partnership; collaboration isn’t impossible!

However, just don’t hope that President Ma always thinks that besides him, there’s nobody to collaborate with... that’s asking for trouble!!

.....

Zhang Manlin conveyed Jiang Cheng’s intention to the relevant personnel at Tencent Company, and they quickly informed President Ma.

Tencent boss hesitated only a moment, then nodded in agreement, directly rearranging all activities scheduled for tomorrow to meet, showing their priority.

Cosmic Umbrella, they must pay attention.

The next day, Jiang Cheng went to the appointment.

He didn’t fly anywhere, but President Ma himself flew to Luocheng for talks with Jiang Cheng.

President Ma wore glasses, somewhat thin and middle-aged, but his eyes were sharp, making one suddenly realize that he wasn’t an easy target!

However, even a shrewd person, upon seeing Jiang Cheng, couldn’t help but marvel at Jiang Cheng’s youth, almost like it’s unfair!

President Ma masked his shock, smiled, and said, ”First time meeting, hello President Jiang, I’m Ma Huateng, the CEO of Tencent. I’ve heard your name for a long time; it’s truly wonderful to finally meet you!”

”Alright.” Jiang Cheng nodded. ”Let’s sit down and talk.”

The meeting place was a private room in a five-star hotel, dishes already set on the dining table, and the two sat opposite each other, gazing at one another.

Worthy of Ma Huateng, merely under a minute from the start of the meeting, through observation, he deeply analyzed the relationship between Jiang Cheng and Zhang Manlin—though the president and CEO of Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company is Zhang Manlin, she does manage the company’s large and small affairs, this doesn’t change the truth that the real boss is Jiang Cheng.

Indeed, there weren’t many conflicts between the two, he saw Zhang Manlin and noted no existing conflicts, impossible to hide!

Ma Huateng was secretly surprised, realizing two things. First, Jiang Cheng is truly adept at hiding emotions.

Jiang Cheng didn’t know Ma Huateng thought so much. He continued observing him, wanting to see what this legend looked like.

”In my view, I dislike anything indirect, so since I have a meeting with Ma Yun, let’s briefly discuss our cooperation.” Jiang Cheng thought for a moment, said:”This game, let’s develop ours, I’ll provide Tencent’s institutions, my virtual reality devices can run your software, at the same time, you can utilize your games, all of which will run in our virtual reality devices, transforming from computer games to virtual reality games, that’s our work. But the bottom line is the bottom line. We take 90%.”

The staff beside Ma Huateng turned pale, but Ma Huateng’s expression didn’t change. Still a smile, an old fox’s posture.
