Packaging and Transfer

"The primary threat we face is Greedy Blue Moon Legend. Unlike other private servers, which are small-scale and disorganized, I suspect Greedy Blue Moon Legend is backed by a company of dozens of people, with strong technical, operational, and planning teams.

Their promotional methods and their free-to-play with internal monetization model are also worth learning from! We should study their strengths and then, under the guise of legitimacy, use the company's full force to strike them. This is just a humble suggestion from your subordinate, and I ask for your criticism and guidance, leaders." After speaking, Zhou Xiao returned to his seat.

Regarding the promotion and monetization model, Chen Tianqiao, who maintained a traditional mindset, disagreed with Zhou Xiao's last point, viewing them as underhanded and unscrupulous tactics. However, he largely agreed with Zhou Xiao's other suggestions.

Clearing his throat twice, Chen Tianqiao waited until all attention was on him. He tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table, his voice calm yet firm.

"Xiao Zhou has spoken very well. I will add a few points based on his suggestions.

First, we will select several employees skilled in hacking to form an assault team. Their main task will be to attack the servers and websites of major private servers. This is already in progress.

Second, we will continue to recruit more technical personnel, including but not limited to artists, numerical analysts, programmers, and planners. We will build a dedicated technical team. We need to create our own 'Legend of Mir' and no longer be constrained by those Koreans.

Cheats go unbanned, bugs go unfixed, private servers are ignored. Yet, when it comes to collecting money, their efficiency is sky-high. What's the difference between this and property management!

Third, we will attempt to contact Greedy Blue Moon Legend for business cooperation to see if we can acquire them.

Fourth, we will send individual lawyer's letters to each private server. These letters will be drafted by the legal department.

Fifth, we will negotiate with Korea's Wemade regarding private server and Legend of Mir modification permissions."

After speaking, Chen Tianqiao surveyed the room, intending to assign tasks. He suddenly felt a lack of talent, lamenting, "We have to send Liao Hua as the vanguard."

"The tasks are assigned as follows: for points one and two, Old Tan will be fully responsible. We will create our own Legend of Mir, and I want to see a finished product in three months! For points three and four, Zhou Xiao will be responsible. You two will report your progress to me weekly. For the last point, I will personally go to Korea to discuss it with them in some time."

"Yes."

Chen Tianqiao looked deeply at his wife and said, "Additionally, I am announcing a personnel change. Zhou Xiao is promoted to Operations Director and Project Manager for the Legend of Mir project. Qianqian will also have an easier time and can focus her energy on the company's finances. This will be announced throughout the company shortly. That's all, meeting adjourned!"

With that, he left the conference room directly, giving no room for those below to react.

Zhou Xiao was packing his things, and the gazes from all around him held an unreadable meaning.

Luo Qianqian was the first to approach. She extended her hand and said with a forced smile, "Xiao Zhou, congratulations on your promotion. Sister Luo wishes you smooth sailing." The last word was spoken with a slightly lower tone, drawn out a bit.

As if not noticing, Zhou Xiao, as usual, lowered his head, clasped her hand, and thanked her, "Thank you, Sister Luo, for your continuous care and cultivation!"

This time, he had overstepped his bounds, sending the report directly to the big boss, bypassing her and reaching the highest authority.

Reporting above one's direct superior was a serious workplace taboo, and he had thoroughly offended Luo Qianqian this time.

But he didn't care. He had sent her a report last month, and what happened? Nothing.

Since that was the case, if you don't act, I'll act myself!

At least he had value now. As for the future, it would depend on the big boss's decisiveness.

If he was a wise lord, he would continue to assist him. If not, he would use the company's resources to strengthen himself. With a series of experiences and qualifications in operating Legend of Mir, he would be able to fly freely and would not lack good opportunities.

This meeting, which lasted over an hour, finally allowed Chen Tianqiao to see clearly and make up his mind to recruit some professional senior executives. Besides his wife continuing to manage finances, it seemed necessary to relegate these less capable relatives to secondary roles.

On his way back to his office, he had already decided on a name for the "Legend of Mir" he was developing himself.

Legendary World!

Ten o'clock at night.

Chen Hao was calculating accounts in his rental room, with an electronic calculator beside him.

March: 4.82 million, April: 9.57 million. As of May 1st, the daily revenue record had already been broken, with an income of 1.28 million, and this number was still climbing.

The daily revenue would drop back to normal levels afterward. Assuming an average of 500,000 per day, by the end of the month...

One month: 15 million!

Chen Hao mentally ran through his subsequent plans.

That should be enough!

Everything he had done so far was to gain the capital to do something big.

That was...

Chen Hao looked at the large title on the fourth page of his notebook, consisting of only two words: Miracle!

Below it was a line of information that occupied a page: In July 2002, The9 acted as the agent for Miracle MU to be introduced into China, with an agency fee of 2 million US dollars.

The9 was still a very popular online gaming community at the time. Boss Zhu, with this game, soared to the heavens and gained the possibility of contending for World of Warcraft!

In life, sometimes winning a gamble once can lead to wealth and honor. To win twice in a row is truly unparalleled luck, and Boss Zhu was such a child of destiny. Unfortunately, later he played too much football, losing sight of the main goal. After Blizzard terminated their contract with The9, they found a new partner in NetEase, and The9 declined from then on. Oh, later, with the boom of Bitcoin, he followed and went mining.

This shows that even the most immense luck cannot withstand the drain of football, especially in China. It is said that the big bosses are all football fans, and then what? They still ended up the same. Later, Japan had the Three Kings of Football, Korea had King Sun, and China could only produce the Iron Prisoner King.

Speaking of Blizzard and NetEase, even after these two companies became partners, they didn't have many good years. In early 2023, NetEase was unilaterally dumped by Blizzard, that green tea girl, and the NetEase Blizzard department was disbanded on the spot.

A few months later, Blizzard's plan to get rich with Microsoft fell through, and they wanted to seek reconciliation.

Blizzard: After experiencing countless storms, I finally realized you are my true love.

NetEase: Get lost, I'd rather raise pigs than have you!

With such scummy behavior, NetEase directly launched a new product at the company's water bar: Blizzard Green Tea.

Since the agency news was announced in July, it meant that Boss Zhu probably went to negotiate in June. Therefore, Chen Hao planned to set off for Korea at the end of May to intercept it in advance.

Not far away, Pang Ban was constantly tapping on his phone. Chen Hao walked over and smiled, "Is Snake this fun?"

With a sneak attack, he snatched the phone. In just over ten seconds, Chen Hao accidentally...

GAME OVER!

"Noob!"

"Holy crap, what difficulty is this?" Chen Hao refused to believe it and started a new game. Was there any game his gaming encyclopedia couldn't handle?

One minute later, defeated!

Pang Ban glanced up at him, the meaning clear: weaklings, begone.

"Looks like low-end games aren't for me~" Chen Hao chuckled, trying to save face. He almost forgot the main point. "Old Ban, do you have a passport?"

"No!"

"Then let's go apply for one tomorrow?"

"Okay!"

Chen Hao pulled out his phone and called Old Brother and Big Bird, telling them he was going to Korea for a full body massage at the end of the month, asking them to take leave in advance and get their passports and visas ready.

Now, only one major thing remained.

That was to transfer the Greedy Blue Moon Legend of Mir and its private server alliance, which had just reached its peak.

He had already informed the other two about this matter over the phone earlier.

Initially, Chen Hao wanted to lay low and develop slowly, but firstly, time didn't permit, and secondly, developing stealthily earned money too slowly.

Starting from scratch, he had to make quick money within a limited time, racing against time. Therefore, Greedy Blue Moon's current dominance was inevitable.

Chen Hao knew that later on, Shanda, in conjunction with the Public Security Department, would launch a massive operation to crack down on private servers, arresting a few typical cases. Based on the current situation, Greedy Blue Moon Legend of Mir would definitely be within the scope of the crackdown.

A few months later? Or perhaps next year? He didn't remember the exact time.

Anyway, the money he had now, plus the transfer fee, would be enough capital to become an agent for Miracle. There was no need to keep dancing on a tightrope.

This hot potato, which made a fortune every day, should naturally be gotten rid of sooner rather than later.
