Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After leaving the main building, Liu Zhongyuan’s mood was obviously quite good. Although it was Hong Dali who was holding his elbow and supporting him, it was the old man who was walking even faster than Hong Dali...
“Oh my, Grandfather Liu, walking slower, slower, don’t fall!” This time, it was Hong Dali’s turn to say these words...
Actually, according to Hong Dali’s current attributes, he could double his speed without any problem, but that would reveal the fact that his body had entirely recovered—after all, he was a lazy person, it was better if he could avoid troubles.
“Hehe, young man, you need to train more.” Liu Zhongyuan was happy from being able to walk now and instead reprimanded Hong Dali. “I have heard that your body condition has always been poor, you need to exercise more. Once a person doesn’t often move about, he will tend to fall sick easily. That’s why I dislike staying in hospitals. If I can only just lie there and do nothing, I will soon get ill even if I wasn’t ill at first!”
“Yes yes yes, you are really old and fit!” Hong Dali smiled.
“OK, let’s rest for a while.” Liu Zhongyuan was finally satisfied and found a long wooden bench to sit down. “Go and accompany them, these old bones of mine still seem to be doing quite well. I will at least still be fine for the next one to two years!”
It was fortunate that he didn’t know he had stomach cancer yet. If not, his mood wouldn’t be as good.
Naturally, Hong Dali didn’t dare to tell him. He “Ok-ed” and immediately returned to Hong Weiguo’s side.
Now that Old Master Liu seemed to be fine, Liu Yihui and Hong Weiguo started discussing how their companies could work together. “Weiguo, I really didn’t feel very good in my heart when you actually came over today. Previously, I prepared three billion yuan to fight with you, but it was resolved because of Dali, hehe. Let’s not talk about those things anymore. From now on, let’s cooperate. You aren’t still blaming me, right?”
Hong Weiguo smiled and said, “It’s all in the past. Speaking of which, I really got a shock when I heard that you prepared three billion yuan. If it wasn’t because of Dali’s luck and that the news broadcast came just in time, it would really be hard to counter.”
At this moment, these two rivals in the business field seemed to have let go of their past rivalry with a smile.
“Yup, let’s not mention those things anymore.” Liu Yihui and Hong Weiguo sat down on a bench. “Now, let’s discuss how we can cooperate together in the future. Yup, I shall say this beforehand. Today, you and Dali really showed me respect for coming over. From now on, when we cooperate, I shall just hold 49% of the shares and you hold 51%. Don’t refuse. Otherwise, there isn’t a need to discuss anymore.”
These words were akin to giving leadership to Hong Weiguo.
It could be said that just these words alone were worth at least a few billion to the Hong Family.
“Old Liu, how can I accept such generosity?” Hong Weiguo shook his head helplessly. “It’s our duty to show filial respect for the elderly. Actually, I’m quite envious of you. At least, you and your old man can still maintain your father and son relationship. Unlike my Hong Family, once he became an elder, then... Hehe, let’s not talk about this anymore.”
As the two of them were discussing the collaboration, Hong Dali was not still. Liu Mingxin smiled and said, “Young Master Dali, thank you for coming today. My Grandfather was able to disregard his illness so quickly because of you. Actually, I wanted to show my appreciation too, just that I am not sure what you need.” As he said so, he helplessly smiled. “You definitely don’t lack money or manpower. What I can give, you don’t seem to lack too. Hehe, this is really difficult.”
“Dali, let me give my Turkey Bookstore to you. Just give me a VIP account.” Liu Mingcheng knew that Hong Dali liked to read novels, giving him this was better than giving him money.
“Haha, sure!” Hong Dali agreed without a second word. “It’s settled, then. I hope that I can find some good reads there, hehe.”
Speaking of which, if Turkey Bookstore and Zhong Dian website combined, that would mean that Zhong Dian website would be able to conquer the online literature industry. By that time, the daily visitor volume might exceed the two million benchmark. It would definitely become a giant website.
However, for this prodigal Hong Dali, having good novels to read was the most important thing...
The three of them laughed for a while. Then, Hong Dali suddenly looked at Xiao Ming who was standing in the distance. He grinned and said, “Old Liu, when are you going to marry Xiao Ming? I’m waiting to eat your wedding cake!”
Cough! Cough! Cough! Hearing Hong Dali’s words, Liu Mingxin instantly started coughing violently. He said in surprise, “Dali, don’t tell me that you really took it for real? Xiao Ming and me... Hm... Hm...”
In the end, he wasn’t able to continue with his words after a long time. Hong Dali became even more interested. “What’s wrong? From what I see, although you aren’t very active, you don’t dislike her, right? Speaking of which, it really is time for you to find a girlfriend. Oh right, Old Liu, can you tell me about your story with her?”
“About Xiao Ming?” Liu Mingxin gently looked at Xiao Ming who was massaging his Grandfather, smiled and said, “She is a good girl, understanding, cooks well, and able to take care of people. Speaking of which, she possesses all the good qualities that a woman should have, and she is very pretty too. I really can’t find any flaw with her.”
“Oooh...” Hong Dali suddenly asked, “You think that her background is not good?”
“No.” Liu Mingxin shook his head. “To be frank, Young Master Dali, at our level, it isn’t so important whether the female party is rich or not. If they are rich, it will just mean our net worth increased by a bit, that’s all. Whether she’s poor or rich, there’s no difference to me.”
“That’s true.” Hong Dali touched his chin and muttered, “At your level, even if the lady is worth billions, she is also too poor for you. There really isn’t much difference. Then, why don’t you agree to take her as your girlfriend? Oh right, how did the two of you meet?”
“Let me tell you!” Liu Mingcheng smiled. “A few years ago, my Brother rescued a few orphans from human traffickers. After he rescued them, he adopted them himself. But he is very busy, so he found a caretaker. At that time, I only knew that he found a caretaker to look after these children. Only today did I learn that my Brother’s eyes are so good!” In the end, he added, “My sister-in-law, Xiao Ming, her cooking is really excellent!”
This foodie!
Hong Dali said in surprise, “Not bad, Old Liu, you actually do charity too? I’m really impressed, really impressed indeed!”
“Hehe, you are making fun of me again.” Liu Mingxin smiled. “It’s just that I don’t lack the money and saw that the children were quite pitiful, so I just adopted them. Instead, I’m the one impressed with you, Dali. You secretly opened a school that is said to only accept children from the mountains and orphans who can’t afford to pay for education. To be honest, in terms of level, you are much higher than me. At least, I never thought of opening a charity school myself.”
He was speaking from the bottom of his heart and his words were sincere, but Hong Dali said in surprise, “Huh? Why do I feel that your words seem a bit weird? I opened the school just to make my Sister Lin Zixuan happy...”
“Haha, you are already doing something good unintentionally.” Liu Mingxin laughed. “In this aspect, I lose to you even more.”
The three of them laughed for a while. Then, Liu Mingxin suddenly said, “Oh right, Dali, speaking of which, the children that I adopted will be reaching the age to go for schooling too. Why don’t I directly send them to your school?”
“Sure!” Hong Dali vigorously nodded. “These kids must all be very adorable, right? Why don’t you bring me over to take a look?”
“No problem!” Liu Mingxin directly nodded in agreement. “Later, when my Grandfather is resting, I shall bring you to see them. Speaking of which, they are all quite curious of you too because of your incredible luck, hehe.”
“Ah, I’m not as fantastic as you said!” Hong Dali was a bit shy. He scratched his head and decisively changed the topic. “Oh right, speaking of which, our first gaming fest is about to start, right? How many more days are there?”
“The day after tomorrow.” Liu Mingxin smiled. “It will start the day after tomorrow. Why, do you have any more good ideas?”
“I don’t have any more good ideas...” As he was saying this, Hong Dali suddenly remembered something and said, “Ah, now that you mention it, I really thought of something important! Hahaha, Old Liu, you shall be the one This matter really has to rely on you!”
“What thing is it that has to rely on me?” Liu Mingxin felt strange and asked, “Young Master Dali, are you planning to make some game?”
“That’s right!” Hong Dali nodded. “I have even thought of the name, it’s called ‘Dream Dota League’!”
Brouhaha, this time, with Old Liu helping out, it will definitely save me a lot of trouble. I don’t have to be troubled over this anymore, humph!
“Dream Dota League?” Liu Mingxin muttered the name a few times and curiously asked, “What kind of game is it? Speaking of which, I do indeed have a game development team. If you like, we can cooperate and do this project together. I shall just take 49% of the shares and the rest will belong to you. I will be in charge of the capital and management and stuff, you just provide the creativity. What do you think?”
His offer was full of sincerity.
One game consisted of three main aspects. Creativity, capital, and the game development team. The rest was just advertisements. However, with Turkey Software and Sangle Search Engine working together to advertise on it, the popularity definitely wouldn’t be low!
“Dream Dota League?” Hong Dali laughed. “This is a very interesting PK game!”
As he spoke, he started drawing a map on the floor with a stone. “This is the battlefield of the Valoran Continent. The one at the bottom is called Noxus, and the one at the top is called Demacia!
“Then, each side will have five players each controlling one hero, so there will be five heroes on each side.” He then drew three paths and a river. “These three paths are the path that the minions will follow. The river in the middle is very particular—there are bushes, dead zone angles, and forests in the surroundings with jungle creeps in them.”
Liu Mingxin’s eyes instantly lit up. “Once the terrain is completed, there will be lots of variables.”
Hong Dali proudly said, “That’s right. Then, we can also place jungle creeps in the jungle zones, players will earn gold from killing them.
“Now, there will be a lot of things to consider. For example, this bush, if a player goes in, the enemy wouldn’t be able to see them. If not, they can also move in circles around the trees to hide in blind spots. The battle will definitely be very intense!”
“Yup...” Liu Mingxin was involved in the gaming industry, he naturally understood how broad the future prospect for this game would be. “If we add it in our E-Sports competition...” Thinking up to this point, Liu Mingxin was covered with cold sweat. “Young Master Dali, when you said you wanted to create E-Sports last time, could it be that... you were planning to pave the path for this game!?”
