Chapter 200: Cooperation

Xue Luo?

Upon hearing this, Wei Yan felt that the ID sounded somewhat familiar, but he couldn’t recall exactly who it was at the moment. He only turned to look at Fang Chang.

Fang Chang pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered something. He looked up at Chen Cong and cautiously asked, “Mr. Chen, may I ask why you’re inquiring about this ID?”

This ID was the one he had handed over to President Chen back then. President Chen had even used this ID as a front, with a little help from Dian Dian, to revive Tianlong.

But why was Mr. Chen asking about this ID now? Could it be that there was some grudge between him and President Chen when he was acting as the front?

If that were the case, would it affect the upcoming cooperation?

Fang Chang felt a bit worried but had already made up his mind: if the other party proposed any conditions detrimental to this ID account or President Chen, even if cooperation couldn’t be reached, he would not allow it to happen.

Seeing Fang Chang’s expression, Chen Cong smiled.

“It’s nothing serious. There was a fight in the game’s wilderness, which is quite normal. But after that, this ID’s account never logged in again, so I was a bit curious.”

Although he and Du Zhiteng had been managing the Tiange Club recently, Tianlong’s game was still occasionally logged into and played, and their guild members kept an eye on the status of the Xue Luo ID.

But it hadn’t logged in even once for such a long time.

So he was curious and wanted to ask about it.

Fang Chang suddenly understood. Hearing that the Xue Luo ID hadn’t logged in for a long time, he felt a bit surprised.

After handing the account to President Chen, he hadn’t paid attention to it anymore, assuming that President Chen was still playing Tianlong.

He hadn’t expected that President Chen hadn’t logged in for a long time.

He couldn’t help but feel some admiration.

President Chen was truly President Chen. After revitalizing the Tianlong game, he quietly exited the game.

Then he gave all the credit for reviving Tianlong to them.

He achieved greatness without arrogance—that was the realm of President Chen!

Thinking back to his own happy expression when he received the project bonus, he now felt somewhat ashamed.

His own character was really far inferior compared to President Chen.

It seemed he still needed to study hard and train himself well!

Fang Chang sighed inwardly and looked at Chen Cong.

“Since Tianlong no longer needs fronts to stimulate consumption, there are no more fronts in Tianlong now. It’s quite normal that the Xue Luo ID hasn’t logged in for a long time.”

He didn’t mention anything about President Chen, after all, that was his boss, and as an employee, it wasn’t appropriate to talk about his boss behind his back.

Moreover, whether he said it or not wouldn’t affect the upcoming cooperation.

Hearing Fang Chang’s words, Chen Cong felt a little regretful. It seemed he had no chance for revenge.

He sighed and helplessly said, “Then let’s get down to business.”

“All right! Tell us your demands.”

Wei Yan looked at the other party. As an experienced businessman, he naturally took the lead in discussing cooperation.

“We want exclusive rights to host the Tianlong tournaments.”

“That can’t be agreed to.”

Wei Yan shook his head directly.

Chen Cong frowned upon hearing this but then heard Wei Yan speak again.

“Don’t be so quick to refuse. Let me finish. We can hand over the hosting rights to you and guarantee that apart from our Cangxue, no other companies will be allowed to hold any Tianlong-related tournaments.”

“So you mean only the two of us will host the Tianlong tournaments, and there won’t be a third party?”

Chen Cong caught the meaning behind Wei Yan’s words. His frown eased slightly. If that was the case, it was acceptable.

“How about it? Can you accept this proposal?”

Wei Yan smiled at Chen Cong. As the game developer, they could choose not to hold tournaments, but they could never give up the right to hold them.

Chen Cong and Du Zhiteng exchanged a glance, then slowly nodded.

“We can accept this proposal, but I also want your game company to give priority to us for the rights to host tournaments for any games you release in the future.”

“That can be discussed. But I want to know, since I’m giving you so many privileges, what benefits can you bring us?”

Wei Yan didn’t answer Chen Cong’s request immediately. When doing business, you can’t just follow the other party’s rhythm blindly.

“Do you two know Hutou Live?”

Du Zhiteng spoke softly.

“Hutou Live is one of the two major live streaming platforms. Of course, we know it.”

“Then how about I put your game on the homepage recommendation? What do you think? And as long as we reach a cooperation, every new game you release in the future, I will put it on the homepage for recommendation.”

“I’ve heard that getting a homepage recommendation on Hutou Live is very difficult. How can I trust you?”

Wei Yan looked at the two men in puzzlement. After studying in the gaming industry for so long, he was very familiar with Hutou Live.

Homepage recommendation spots were not easy to get.

So it was impossible for them to believe just because of a few words.

“If I told you that Hutou Live is my family’s business, would you believe me?”

Du Zhiteng smiled confidently.

Fang Chang was shocked upon hearing this, then thought of Du Zhiteng’s name and seemed to recall something.

He looked up at Du Zhiteng.

“What’s your relationship with Du Feng?”

“That’s my father.”

Du Zhiteng replied.

“So it’s Young Master Du!”

Fang Chang had no doubt. He knew about Du Zhiteng’s existence but hadn’t connected the dots when they first met.

After all, who would expect the son of the head of a giant mobile phone company to choose to run a gaming club?

That’s right.

Du Zhiteng’s father, Du Feng, was the founder of the domestic mobile phone brand Hualing, a giant in the domestic mobile phone market.

And Hutou Live was just one of the businesses under the Hualing Group.

With such an identity, it was obviously easy for Du Zhiteng to get a homepage recommendation spot on Hutou Live.

“I prefer you call me President Du.”

Du Zhiteng smiled slightly and continued.

“Now that my identity is confirmed, there should be no problem with the recommendation, right? Can we continue discussing cooperation?”

“Of course.”

Wei Yan nodded. When Tiange held the Tianlong tournament before, it was recommended on Hutou Live’s homepage, bringing nearly a million new players directly to Tianlong.

No matter how you look at it, this cooperation was not a loss.

“Then if there are no issues, let’s sign the contract.”

“Agreed.”

After some discussion, both sides took out the prepared contract, and after confirming there were no problems, they signed it directly.

“Pleasant cooperation!”

“Pleasant cooperation!”

“Oh, President Du, we have a new game about to be developed. We might need a batch of test players in a while. Could you help us find some players?”

Fang Chang put away the signed contract and suddenly remembered the game he was responsible for was nearing completion.

They would definitely need a batch of players for testing. Now was a good time to see if Tiange had any channels for that.
