Chapter 236: Wasn’t There No Promotion?

What on earth is going on?!

How did four million suddenly appear in the System Funds?

Chen Mo felt a sudden wave of unease. He had already familiarized himself with the profit points of several companies, and it was impossible for such a large sum to appear out of nowhere.

The only possibility was the Weekly Card income from Tianlong, but the timing didn’t match.

So where did this huge amount of money come from?

Chen Mo’s face darkened. There was no way over four million could appear without reason; there had to be some mistake in the environment.

But where exactly was the mistake?

Chen Mo mentally reviewed all the potential profit sources from his companies.

Finally, he realized that only Cangxue Games could generate such a significant revenue in such a short time.

Could it be that Tianlong suddenly gained a massive influx of fans?

He was puzzled, but he couldn’t rest easy until he figured out the source of this revenue.

He took out his phone and called Fang Chang directly.

As soon as the call connected, without waiting for Fang Chang to speak, he asked directly.

“How’s the revenue for Cangxue today?”

“President Chen, you found out?”

Fang Chang instinctively thought President Chen must have learned that “Extreme Survival” was about to become a hit.

“Found out what?”

Hearing Fang Chang’s words, Chen Mo realized that the four million was definitely related to Cangxue Games.

“Extreme Survival! Last night alone, Extreme Survival gained over a million downloads, and the game revenue exceeded four million. Based on my predictions, this game is going to explode in popularity!”

Fang Chang spoke excitedly, initially planning to report this to President Chen the next day.

Unexpectedly, President Chen discovered it first.

Over a million downloads,

Revenue exceeding four million.

The game was about to explode.

Hearing these words felt like a heavy hammer pounding on his chest.

He reached out to open his computer and entered the game download platform.

Finding “Extreme Survival,” he saw that, as Fang Chang said, the downloads had indeed surpassed 1.4 million.

He checked the game reviews below.

“A great game, my first time playing this type of shooting game.”

“So much fun, I teamed up in a game group last night and played all night.”

“Hahaha, I was in the group last night too, but today I can random match, no more bots.”

“I played Ghost Mode, it was awesome.”

“……..”

Seeing a slew of five-star reviews, Chen Mo’s head buzzed.

What happened?

Wasn’t there no promotion? How did the downloads suddenly increase so much?

Something was off,

Definitely off.

This download count was not what you’d expect without promotion.

“What exactly is the reason? Wasn’t there no promotion? How did the downloads suddenly increase so much?”

“President Chen, we indeed didn’t do any promotion, but someone helped us promote it.”

Fang Chang smiled as he spoke.

“What do you mean, who helped us promote it?”

Chen Mo frowned, wondering who would do such a thing.

“It was the Sky Pavilion Game Club. We previously authorized them to host game events, and in return, they would feature our game on the homepage of Tiger Head Live.”

“And the reason for the surge in downloads is thanks to the club’s members live streaming our game on Tiger Head Live last night, attracting a large audience.”

“Plus, our game is novel and fun, so many viewers downloaded it after watching the live stream.”

“……..”

Fang Chang quickly explained over the phone.

Listening to Fang Chang, Chen Mo gripped his phone tightly. These guys, causing trouble for him like this.

He knew Tiger Head Live well; it’s one of the two major live streaming giants. Being featured on such a platform’s homepage brings unimaginable traffic.

More crucially, he had played “Extreme Survival” himself, and it was indeed a good game.

Combining these two factors, it’s no wonder the game took off.

He had planned to wait until after this settlement, but it was unexpectedly disrupted.

“President Chen!”

Fang Chang called out tentatively after not hearing a response from President Chen for a while.

Chen Mo listened to Fang Chang’s words, didn’t respond, and silently hung up the phone.

He didn’t want to talk to him right now.

He had hoped Fang Chang would develop a game that would lose money, but he didn’t expect this guy to be hiding such a card.

Even without promotion, the game could have lasted until the system settlement.

But this guy went and collaborated with the Heavenly Pavilion club, putting the game on Tiger Head Live’s homepage.

Thinking of Tiger Head Live,

Chen Mo’s eyes flickered, then he opened the webpage and entered Tiger Head Live.

Sure enough, on the homepage’s live streaming recommendations, he saw four streamers for “Extreme Survival.”

Hmm!

Chen Mo’s eyes suddenly landed on one of the streamer’s names.

TG-Gan Jiudi.

Gan Jiudi?

That name sounded familiar!

After a moment,

Chen Mo suddenly had a flash of realization. Damn, wasn’t this the same guy under Tycoon Bro from Tianlong?

Good grief!

After causing trouble in Tianlong, now he’s stirring things up in “Extreme Survival.”

He clearly remembered that one of his settlement failures was because Tycoon Bro spent money in the game.

Now that Tianlong was no longer played, this guy chased after “Extreme Survival.”

And even brought him popularity through live streaming.

The more Chen Mo thought about it, the angrier he got. It was bad enough to be backstabbed by his own company’s people, but now outsiders were doing it too.

He just wanted to lose some money; was it really that hard?

Slumping in his chair, Chen Mo felt a sense of despair. His foolproof spending plan had suddenly taken a major hit.

In just one day, revenue had increased by over four million. With Tiger Head Live’s traffic, who knows how much more revenue would increase.

After a while!

Chen Mo gradually came to his senses, opened a drawer, and took out his spending manual.

He still had many ways to spend money. Even if “Extreme Survival” was now popular, the income over the next ten days wouldn’t be absurdly high.

As long as he made an effort to spend money, there should still be a chance to fully convert System Funds.

And even if he couldn’t convert them all, he had to spend as much as possible. After all, the fewer System Funds he had left, the more personal funds he could convert.

Looking at the various spending plans in his manual.

Hosting an annual meeting,

The end of January, in a few days, it would be the Chinese New Year.

Holding a company annual meeting before the holiday was a normal thing.

Inviting performances for the annual meeting and giving employees year-end gifts were also reasonable.

Then there was the year-end bonus. As a legitimate company, how could they skimp on employees’ year-end bonuses and 13th-month pay?

Chen Mo looked at each spending plan and finally relaxed a bit. Thankfully, he had prepared so many spending plans.
