"Kris, there are currently many players asking King of Fighters to start the open beta early, what do you think?" Li Haoyu looked at Guo Weiwei in front of him and said.

Guo Weiwei pondered for a moment and said, "Chairman, I think the King of Martial Arts can start the open beta." After a month of testing, the king of fighters has not had any major bugs, we don't have to test it three times and then open the beta, it can be put on the day of your wedding, the chairman of the board, to start the open beta, which can be regarded as a benefit for all our players. ”

Li Haoyu said: "Since this is the case, then your game operation department must be prepared, and the server will start preparing and debugging from now on, and strive to start the public beta as scheduled on October 3rd." ”

October 3rd is the day of Li Haoyu and Xiao Yuqing's wedding, it is said that this day is a rare auspicious day of the zodiac, the elders discussed the day, Li Haoyu and Xiao Yuqing naturally have no reason to object.

Guo Weiwei said with a smile: "Chairman, you can put one hundred and twenty hearts, the king of martial arts will definitely be able to open the beta as scheduled on the day of your wedding, even if we work overtime, we will never dare to delay time, this is also a wedding gift from our game operation department to the chairman." ”

Li Haoyu said with a smile: "Kris, you are very poor, you have to wrap me a big red envelope on the day I get married to Yuqing, otherwise don't blame me for wearing small shoes for you in the future." ”

Guo Weiwei said pitifully: "Isn't it the chairman?" You are the richest man in Shancheng, and you can definitely rank in the top ten on the national rich list, and you can also see my red envelope? ”

"No matter how small the mosquito legs are, it's also meat, and in a few days I will marry Yuqing, and the financial power will basically be gone, so I have to prepare a little more of my own small treasury now, so as not to apply for pocket money in the future." Li Haoyu also looked helpless.

Guo Weiwei said angrily: "Chairman, are you still crying with me? You think I don't know that you have several small coffers in Switzerland, anyway, I put the words here, on the day you got married, I only put 1,000 yuan in my red envelope, and I want more, unless you give me a salary increase, I am thinking about it. ”

Li Haoyu is in a good mood, he and Guo Weiwei have known each other for two or three years, and the relationship has always been very good.

When the mythical group issued an announcement that the king of martial arts will open the public beta on the day of Li Haoyu's wedding on October 3rd, countless long-awaited fighting fans immediately cheered, and began to order the public beta client disc of the king of fighting in the nearest mythical retail store or on the Internet, Taobao and JD.com's online stores and even the mythical group's own trading volume on the mythical game trading platform began to grow on a large scale, and the daily sales of the public beta client of the king of fighting were more than fifty or sixty thousand copies, and the highest day even exceeded 100,000 copies.

Li Haoyu's second uncle Li Yuanhang's factory began to transform more than a year ago to print physical point cards and game clients for the Mythical Group, and more than a year ago, with the high sales volume of the Mythical Group in China, his factory has gradually expanded from only two or three hundred workers to a factory with more than 1,000 workers. However, in the past few days, the client discs of the King of Fighting have been sold out, orders from all over the country have been floating like snowflakes, and Li Yuanhang's factory has been unable to meet the fanatical demand of the entire China for 24 hours of uninterrupted production.

The time came on September 28, 2016, and Li Haoyu had decided to rush to Yanjing the next day, but he did not expect to usher in an unexpected guest at this time.

When Li Haoyu saw this person, he was really taken aback, and the tall and thin middle-aged man in front of him was the leader of Huaxia e-commerce, Ma Yun, chairman of Alibaba.

Taobao and Alipay changed the perception of Chinese electronic netizens about online shopping, from this time, online shopping has also become a commonplace thing among Chinese netizens, in 2015 Taobao's annual transaction volume exceeded 1.4 trillion yuan (in 2013 just exceeded one trillion, this figure I roughly estimated), is a well-deserved overlord in Chinese e-commerce.

Even since the marriage of Tencent and JD.com in 2014, coupled with the huge user base brought by Tencent and convenient conditions such as WeChat payment, Taobao has still not been able to shake Taobao's position in e-commerce in the past two years, which shows Taobao's strength.

"Ma Dong, I really didn't think about how you came over, if there is something, I will fly to you in person to listen to your teachings with a phone call." Li Haoyu was flattered that Ma Yun came to the mountain city at this time, and the mythical group has expanded rapidly in the past two years, but the gap is really not a little bit compared to Alibaba Group.

Ma Yun looked at Li Haoyu and said with a smile: "Li Dong doesn't dare to do this, you have a lot of opportunities, and you are going to get married again in the next few days, how dare I let you come over." ”

The two came to the sofa and sat down separately, and Li Haoyu said, "Ma Dong, what to drink?" ”

Ma Yun said: "I used to like to drink coffee, but now that I'm older, I start to like tea, and Li Dong can just have a little tea at will." ”

Li Haoyu turned his head to Zhang Ningqiao, who was standing on the side, and said, "Ningqiao, give us the big red robe I brought back last time." Said to Ma Yun: "Ma Dong, there is no tea produced by the mother tree of Da Hong Pao, these tea leaves are the tea leaves of the second generation of Da Hong Pao, I hope they can still enter your eyes." ”

Since the last time he drank the tea leaves of the Dahongpao mother tree at President Lin Ping'an, Li Haoyu tried his best to buy some second-generation Dahongpao tea at a high price, and spent nearly one million on half a catty.

Ma Yun said with a smile: "Dong Li has a heart, I haven't drunk the tea of the second generation of Da Hong Pao a few times, and now I feel very honored to be able to taste it here with Dong Li." ”

After a while, Zhang Ningqiao came over with tea leaves and teapots and cups, started to boil water with electricity, and then exited the office and closed the door.

Li Haoyu saw that Ma Yun didn't say anything for a while, and he was not in a hurry, so he began to chat with him. While chatting, Ma Yun's accurate judgment of the Internet amazed Li Haoyu and learned a lot of things. Ma Yun was also shocked by Li Haoyu's ambition or ambition in the game industry, he didn't expect that although Li Haoyu's mythical group was still competing for the Chinese market, his eyes had already looked at the world.

After the water boiled, Li Haoyu personally poured tea for Ma Yun and said straight to the point: "Ma Dong, you are a busy man, I don't know what advice Lu Dao has when he comes to the mountain city this time?" ”

Ma Yun took a sip of Dahongpao tea, with a look of enjoyment on his face, as if he was still savoring the fragrance of the tea, and said after a while: "Dong Li, the main purpose of my visit to Shancheng this time is to make Alibaba Group and Shenhyun Group reach a strategic alliance. ”

Li Haoyu raised his eyebrows and said: "Ma Dong, my mythical group is a game, Alibaba Group is engaged in e-commerce and the electronic financial industry, I really don't know that our two groups can reach a strategic alliance in the above places, please advise." ”

Ma Yun smiled: "Chairman Li, in fact, Alibaba and Mythical Group have common interests in many places. For example, Taobao books overlap with your company's mythological literature, and Taobao can also vigorously develop web games and mobile games, all of which we have the same goal. On top of that, we have a common enemy, and if we go it alone, it's hard to defeat this enemy with the largest user base in all of China. However, if Alibaba and the Mythical Group join forces, our common enemy will no longer be so unattainable! ”

Li Haoyu groaned, he naturally knew who the common enemy of the mythical group and Alibaba that Ma Yun said was, that is, Tencent, the super octopus of Huaxia Internet. This Internet company, which started with instant messaging software, has become a big problem for most Internet companies in more than ten years, and Ma Yun's family is also a powerful and extraordinary figure.

"Ma Dong, Alibaba's family is big, and the mythical group is just a baby who has just learned to walk in front of you, why are you looking for us to reach a strategic alliance?" Li Haoyu didn't know Ma Yun's plans, so he asked directly.

Ma Yun said: "Li Dong, you are too humble, although the Mythical Group has only been established for more than three years, it is now a top enterprise in the game industry with hundreds of millions of registered users and tens of millions of paying players. What's more, Shinhwa Group has a natural competitive relationship with Tencent's game division, while we at Alibaba are different. Although we also dabble in mobile games and web games, I believe that this share of our games will not have any impact on the Mythical Group, that is, the Mythical Group and Alibaba will not have a competitive relationship, plus we have common enemies, so we are natural allies! ”

Li Haoyu pondered for a moment, he had to admit that Ma Yun's words moved him, at present, there is indeed no competition between the mythical group and Alibaba, and after the alliance, they will not be ripped off because of their respective interests, and they can go all out to fight against the increasingly powerful Tencent.

"It's just that the two of us have formed an alliance to compete with Tencent in the fields of e-commerce and games, but it's not enough to completely defeat Tencent." Li Haoyu was still a little hesitant.

Ma Yun smiled: "With us are the new Lang and NetEase. ”

Li Haoyu frowned, Xin Lang was greatly injured after the "Internet Publishing License" and "Information Network Dissemination Audiovisual Program License" were revoked in 2014, and he has not been able to recover until now, but the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and its strength cannot be underestimated. NetEase's strength is also not bad, under the leadership of Ding Lei, although NetEase has developed slowly, it has also maintained a strong momentum, which is enough to pose a certain threat to Tencent.
