My capital is quite large.

Chapter 273 If I become rich and powerful, let us not forget each other.

The astonishing performance of "Land of Glory" in its first month of open beta has left the entire mobile internet industry breathless.

The marketing gimmick of "Defeat Boss Li and split ten million" is more like a shot of adrenaline, stimulating countless wealthy people and business owners with some assets to start a business.

However, as the sole strategist of this vast business empire, Li Feng naturally couldn't possibly spend every day glued to his phone researching strategies for conquering new territories or arguing with the lowly pawns in his alliance all night long.

He has to keep track of the billions of yuan in R&D spending at Huaxin Technology every day, and balance the power struggle between Alibaba and Tencent. Where would he find the time to be a 24/7 online leader in a game?

However, the account "Haofeng001" must remain absolutely powerful.

This signboard is the most crucial tool for attracting players in the long-term ecosystem of "Land of Glory," and it must not be allowed to reveal any flaws.

Therefore, the important task of power leveling naturally fell to Lao Chen, the director of the game department.

Old Chen oversees the entire gaming department, including PC games, mobile games, and esports events. He's usually so busy he barely has time to spare. Where would he find the time to coach for the boss?

So he quickly set his sights on his eldest son, Chen Jiahao, who was the supervisor of the animation department and had a relatively easy job.

"Jiahao, I've called you here today to entrust you with a crucial task that concerns the future of both of us!"

Old Chen pulled his son into the empty office, his face as serious as if he were being led to the execution ground.

Chen Jiahao was somewhat bewildered: "Dad, what happened? Could it be that there's a problem with the acquisition contract for Xuanji Technology?"

"It's much more serious than that!" Old Chen took out a black combination lock box, opened it, and inside lay a Xiaomi customized high-end mobile phone, with the login interface of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" on the screen.

"This is Mr. Li's personal account, 'Haofeng001'!" Old Chen's tone was very heavy.

"Mr. Li is usually too busy, so you will be responsible for the daily maintenance of this account from now on. I'm warning you repeatedly, you absolutely, positively must not use this account to chat with anyone in the game, and you are not allowed to make any personal comments!"

"Your mission has only three parts: spend money! Get all the high-star generals! Assemble your generals according to the best early-game setup! On the battlefield, if any alliance dares to provoke our 'Haofeng Alliance,' use your unreasonable resource advantage to crush them!"

Old Chen warned, "Remember, you don't have room for error. If people realize this isn't really Mr. Li playing around, or if he says something wrong and damages the company's reputation... the consequences will be severe!"

After hearing his father's stern warning, which sounded almost like entrusting his son to someone else, Chen Jiahao felt immense pressure.

He took the phone with trepidation, feeling as if he were holding a bomb that could explode at any moment.

"Dad, don't worry, I... I'll definitely talk less, spend more money, and make a fortune quietly!"

Back in his office, Chen Jiahao didn't dare waste a second and immediately started searching for various strategies for early-game team composition in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Strategy Edition" on his computer.

The complex numerical formulas of the cleaver, the Shu step, the magic knife... prompted this animation director, a graduate of a prestigious university, to embark on intensive self-study.

……

The money-making ability of "Land of Glory" in its first month of open beta has undoubtedly made domestic manufacturers who are still immersed in fast-paced mobile games envious.

It turns out that an SLG sandbox strategy game doesn't need tens of millions of ordinary players; it only needs to attract a small group of wealthy middle-class and nouveau riche bosses to generate tens of millions in revenue per month!

This isn't making a game; it's clearly mining gold through legal means!

In an instant, the domestic mobile game market was in an uproar, with companies of all sizes announcing the launch of their own SLG products.

As a traditional giant in the gaming industry, Tencent is naturally not willing to fall behind.

Tencent Interactive Entertainment's three flagship studios under IEG—TiMi Studio, Polar Bear Studio, and Lightspeed & Quantum Studio—have all urgently launched their respective SLG benchmark projects!

"King of Chaos"! "True Dragon's Hegemony"! "My Dynasty"!

Tencent is trying to use its expertise in "pixel-level imitation" and "one-click traffic redirection to WeChat/QQ" to snatch this lucrative piece of the mobile market in the shortest possible time.

However, when Tencent's technical team actually took possession of the underlying architecture of "Land of Glory" and dissected it, they discovered that SLG games are not as easy to copy as casual games.

A seamless sandbox with two million grid squares, high-concurrency data synchronization of tens of thousands of players on the same map, and highly competitive unit and general stat counters...

Even someone as skilled as Haofeng spent years meticulously refining these techniques and numerical values.

Based on Tencent's development schedule, these competing mobile games will not be able to launch until at least 2017.

It can be said that SLG games have an extremely high barrier to entry on mobile devices.

What's even more fatal is that Li Feng had already blocked all the possible paths in this industry.

From the very first day of the "Land of Glory" project, Haofeng Network had already registered over a hundred mobile SLG patents both domestically and internationally.

From "large-scale sandbox marching routes" and "alliance territory tile border occupation mechanism" to "seasonal data reset and settlement process"...

If you're making a mobile SLG game, and if your players need to occupy land and build fortresses on a grid, you absolutely can't avoid the scenario that Haofeng drew back then.

As long as you're making touchscreen games, and as long as your screen still requires swipe and click feedback, you can't escape the circle drawn by Haofeng back then.

In order to avoid Haofeng's original patents such as "slingshot pulling" and "cutting judgment", mobile game developers began to try various new operation modes. However, they underestimated Li Feng's determination to follow other people's paths and leave them with no way to follow.

In today's domestic game market, almost every mobile game that generates in-app purchase revenue has to pay Haofeng Network a 5% patent usage fee!

As Haofeng further monopolizes game interaction and system patents, a certain voice has even begun to emerge in the industry.

If Haofeng succeeds in innovating in new game categories in the future, the proportion of Haofeng's tax revenue may very well exceed 10% in the future!

Haofeng Network is no longer just a game company; it is becoming, in fact, the tax collector for the entire mobile software ecosystem of Southeast University.

……

In an old residential area in Nanjing, a tall girl sat in a narrow living room, looking at a stack of paper documents in her hand, her eyes red and swollen.

She is the girl who recently played the female lead in the web series "White-Clad School Beauty and Long Legs".

There was no luxury nanny car to pick them up, nor a dedicated assistant to serve them.

In the same three years, Zhang Yumoxi, who was chosen by Li Feng, rose to the top and is now the secretary Zhang, second only to Li Feng in the Haofeng Group.

Zhang Tianai, who was eliminated, could only struggle on the fringes of fame and fortune.

She thought that she might spend her whole life sitting on the sidelines of the entertainment industry, silently rotting away.

But today, when the postal express delivered the document bearing the official seal of Haofeng Film and Television to her, a turning point arrived.

There are two things in the document.

The first thing is a ten-year official agency contract with Haofeng Film & Television! The revenue is split 50/50, and the penalty for breach of contract is set at a level that will put anyone at ease.

The second item was a low-budget web series script with somewhat rough binding.

The cover features five strikingly subversive words: "Go Princess Go"!

Looking at the contract and script, Zhang Tianai burst into tears.

She knew what this meant.

In the entertainment industry where personal relationships are as thin as paper, how could she, a nobody with no background, get Haofeng's management contract?

And what makes her so capable of getting a lead role in a film?

"It was Yu Xi... she got it for me."

Tian'ai wiped away her tears and dialed Zhang Yuxi's number.

She wanted to personally thank her best friend who had shared joys and sorrows with her for three years.

"Sorry, the number you dialed has been cancelled. Please check your number and dial again..."

The cold, mechanical female voice coming from the phone made Tian'ai freeze in place.

She slowly put down her phone, and smiled with a bittersweet yet relieved expression.

It's been cancelled.

Yes, Zhang Xinyu is now the powerful head housekeeper of Haofeng Group.

They were no longer from the same world.

"But you still haven't forgotten me..." Zhang Tianai held back her tears.

Looking at the script of "Go Princess Go" in his arms, a fighting spirit of not giving up was ignited.

Since Yu Xi was at the very top, she held up an umbrella for her in this quagmire.

Then she must use her strength to create a miracle!
