At the reception banquet in the evening, Penguin Company came to a vice president, plus Manager Gao, Manager Xu, and the project leader of Penguin Game Platform in charge of "Happy Farm" and "Happy Landlord", a total of six people.

The restaurant is a Hong Kong-style restaurant, and Shenzhen is close to Hong Kong, so both the diet and the way of working have been greatly affected. Everyone chatted about some customs and interesting things that happened recently, and no one mentioned work.

After eating and confirming the time of the next day's meeting, Jiang Hui went back to the hotel.

The Penguin headquarters is now in the FIYTA Building, renting several floors for office, and the company's self-built Penguin Building will not be completed until 2009, and there is not even a shadow yet.

After eating breakfast at the hotel, Jiang Hui took a taxi to FIYTA Building, and Manager Gao was already waiting in the lobby. Jiang Hui followed Manager Gao directly to a conference room on the tenth floor, and not long after he sat down, Boss Ma entered the conference room with a few people.

Although Penguin Company was jointly founded by Boss Ma and five other people, there is only one soul of the company, and that is Boss Ma.

Speaking of which, Boss Ma is also a legend. After graduating from Shenzhen University in 1993, Mr. Ma joined a company in Shenzhen and began to work as a software engineer. In 1997, Boss Ma met ICQ for the first time. As soon as they met, he was attracted by its infinite charm and immediately registered an account. However, after using it for a while, he felt that it was not easy for ICQ with English interface to be promoted among Chinese users. So he thought, can he make a Chinese version of the tool similar to ICQ? In November 1998, Boss Ma cooperated with his classmate Boss Zhang to register Penguin in Shenzhen and decided to develop a Chinese ICQ software. Since then, he has embarked on a journey of entrepreneurship.

Like other start-up Internet companies, money and technology are Penguin's biggest problems. "First of all, there was a lack of funds, and the funds had software and couldn't keep up." At the beginning of 1999, Penguin developed the first "Celestial Empire-flavored" ICQ, which was well received by users. When Boss Ma was struggling for funds, he had the idea of selling the penguins, and negotiated with four companies successively, all of which ended in failure. Boss Ma had no choice but to go around raising money. In the second half of 1999, from the United States to the Celestial Empire, the Internet began to heat up, inspired by the overseas financing of his old friend Boss Ding, Boss Ma took the version that had been changed 6 times and a business plan of more than 20 pages and began to look for foreign venture capital, and finally met IDG and Yingke Digital, who gave Penguin an investment of 2.2 million US dollars. From then on, a new round of entrepreneurship began.

Since the launch of "Happy Farm" and "Happy Landlord", the number of Penguin registrations and game users have skyrocketed. As of today, the total number of registered users of Penguin is 321 million, the number of active users is 105 million, and the highest number of simultaneous online Penguin Communications is 16.9 million, and the highest simultaneous online Penguin Games is 5.78 million, making it the largest casual game portal in China.

"Mr. Jiang, you are really young and promising, you have founded the school intranet and developed a number of popular games in a short period of time, you are the savior of our penguin game platform", after Boss Ma walked into the office, he quickly came to Jiang Hui and said while shaking hands with Jiang Hui.

"Before I came to Shenzhen, I still thought I was quite amazing, but when I saw Mr. Ma, I was ashamed of myself. Penguin Company already earned more than 300 million yuan last year, right? But the school intranet is still a grass platform team, and there is not even a formal office space," Jiang Hui said with a smile that was not humble or humble.

"When I was studying computer science at Shenzhen University, I only thought about dealing with all kinds of viruses, and I often did some pranks to lock the hard disk in the computer room.

"If you want me to say, Mr. Jiang and Mr. Ma are not simple, they belong to the best among the people, and the red rabbit among the horses. There is a saying: Count the romantic characters, but also look at the present day", Manager Gao said.

"Mr. Ma, in fact, I envy you very much, the current penguin company not only has the veterans of the entrepreneurial time, but also a group of outstanding talents, and the future of penguins is limitless," Jiang Hui said.

"Mr. Jiang is too modest, now the most limitless thing is your glorious game, my vision is really not as good as yours. When Manager Gao signed the contract with you a few years ago, he also reported to me, at that time, the total number of users of all games on the Penguin game platform was not one million, although I was also very optimistic about the creativity of these two games, but I didn't expect that "Happy Farm" and "Happy Landlord" would be so crazy, it was completely like a rocket-like development", said Boss Ma.

"The rapid development of these two games is due to the big platform of Penguin. "Happy Farm" is also available on the school's intranet, but the number of registrations in our entire intranet is currently only a few million, which is too big a gap with Penguin's 300 million, so it can be regarded as my blessing that Guanghui Games met Penguin," Jiang Hui said.

According to the contract, Penguin now pays 120 million yuan in cash and 30% of the game revenue to Guanghui Games," said Boss Ma.

"At the moment, let's focus on browser games, I just launched "Angry Birds" on the school intranet a while ago, and the next step is to promote a fun game. Whether it's the school intranet or the glorious game, it's still in the state of the grass platform, and there is not even a formal office, so the next step is to improve the situation in this regard," Jiang Hui said.

"In fact, the development of the school intranet is on the right track, and the Internet company is not the more people, the better, the key is to have good ideas and core talents; office buildings are not expensive to rent, and they don't need so much money of 120 million at all." Has Mr. Jiang ever thought about making good use of this money?", said Boss Ma.

Jiang Hui felt that today's drama should be coming up.

"I would like to hear the details, what is Mr. Ma's opinion?", Jiang Hui said.

"Actually, I think so, and I don't hide it from you, Penguin is preparing to go public in Hong Kong, and is currently optimizing the composition of shareholders, we are not short of money now, but we lack investors' confidence in us. Now "Happy Farm" and "Happy Landlord" have allowed Penguin to find a new direction of profitability, which is very good for enhancing investor confidence, investors have confidence, the company's valuation will be high, and it will be able to raise more funds when it goes public. Has Mr. Jiang ever considered joining Penguin?", said Boss Ma.

"How do you join?" do you mean I work at Penguin or do I take a stake in Penguin?", Jiang Hui said.

"If Mr. Jiang is willing to come to the penguins, I will raise my hands in favor, but I don't think you will be willing to come. I'm suggesting you consider taking a stake in Penguin," said Mr. Ma.

Happiness came so suddenly! Jiang Hui forced the surprise in his heart.
