You said you were going to make games, how did you become the richest man without doing anything?

Chapter 183 Extreme Pressure (Please Order)
"My son's grades in every subject are just above average. He is now in the second grade of junior high school. What should I do?

What are you doing all day long, farming and collecting elves? It will kill you!

I tell you, you have no future.
"Why don't you, over four hundred people, study hard? What's the point of playing Peach Blossom Village games all day long?"

The direct reason why Youyi banned the island owner’s life was that it received a large number of reports from parents.

Liu Mengyuan rubbed his brows and asked, "What about Cat Girl Paradise Adventure? Who did I offend by playing such a cute game?"

Mo Xiaoxuan's PPT displayed a piece of news from a few days ago:
"In a residential complex in Jianghai City, an unemployed man in his thirties stole the underwear of a female neighbor drying on the balcony.
When the police found him, he claimed that he mistook his panties for a cotton hat.

His parents said that he usually had some mental problems, and after playing "Cat Girl Paradise Adventure", his delusions became more serious.

This itself is a bad guide for the game.”

The employees of the Cat Girl Paradise team laughed out loud:

"I can't poop, I blame gravity!"

Meng Yue, the business girl from the cat girl group, asked, "Mr. Lu, should we issue a PR statement to defend ourselves?"

Lu Yu waved his hand: "It's useless. If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext. You Yi is determined to ban him. Even if these things didn't happen, they would find other ways to fabricate charges."

Zhang Fan sneered, "Haha, in the previous competition, everyone was just playing cards against each other. But this time, You Yi is going to flip the table! Aren't they afraid of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of their own?"

Lu Yu held his chin and analyzed:
"Youyi made this decision after careful consideration and took many measures to appease other manufacturers, including concessions such as commission rebates.
Moreover, this move must have been approved by the group headquarters. Shi Yi alone would not have the courage to play such a big game."

Xu Lu, the business girl from the island owner group, said in a tearful voice:
"What should we do? Our game is only available on the Youyi platform. If we are forced to shut down, the losses will be immeasurable."

Lu Yu rubbed his brows and said in a deep voice: "Don't panic, everyone continue to do what you should do and keep the company running. I will find a way."

Seeing Lu Yu so calm, the employees immediately felt relieved as if they had taken a tranquilizer.

Yes, what is our Taoyuan Township's biggest trump card? Of course, it's our President Lu!

With the old Thousand Layer Cake, who is capable of planning and winning battles from afar, in charge, Taoyuan Township will surely be able to overcome this crisis.

……

At the same time, in the Youyi headquarters building, Shi Yi’s office.

"Xiao Fan, you did a good job." Shi Yi looked at the official website announcement with satisfaction and nodded slightly.

Opposite him stood a young man who had just joined Youyi from the group headquarters.

This person is tall and slender, with pale skin, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and has deep and dark eyes.
He was wearing a smart suit.

But his gentle and elegant temperament reveals a unique coldness and insidiousness.

Fan Langtao, 24, worked as a management trainee at Liu Group for two years after graduating from Jianghai University. He is now the general manager of the platform department of Youyi Company.

Shi Yi turned off the computer, put his chin in his hand and looked at his new subordinate:
"But why did you give Taoyuan Township a week's buffer time?"

Fan Langtao adjusted his glasses and said with a smile:
"Manager Shi, the Liu Group headquarters' merger strategy emphasizes quick, accurate, and ruthless moves, using multiple approaches.

First, I directly used the review rules as the entry point to ban Taoyuan Township, thus occupying the moral high ground and having a legitimate reason.
At the same time, cutting off the server's technical support can further intensify the other party's internal panic.

Our public relations department, by cooperating in hyping up some negative news about Taoyuan Township, will continue to amplify this panic.

But this one-week buffer time seemed to give the other party hope of survival.

At this time, it would be relatively easier for me to go to Mr. Lu from Taoyuan Township to discuss mergers and acquisitions.

Even if we take a step back, if the pressure at this step is not enough and Mr. Lu is still stubborn and unwilling to accept the acquisition, then we will continue to block the other party's engine authorization.
By repeatedly giving and then taking away hope, and tormenting the other party's mentality, a good price can be negotiated. This tactic is also called "extreme pressure."

Shi Yi looked at the other party with a complicated expression. As expected of a management trainee at the headquarters, his methods were sophistication far beyond his age.

"But I still have to remind you that Mr. Lu from Taoyuan Township is not that easy to deal with. In the last round of confrontation between You Yi and him, he was very careful and calculated, and it is not easy to figure out his details."

Fan Langtao smiled:

"Thank you, Mr. Shi, for the reminder. But don't worry, I may know Mr. Lu better than others because... we were both members of the gaming club at Jianghai University."

Shi Yi suddenly realized.

No wonder! There are many people with more experience than Fan Langtao in the group headquarters, but he was parachuted in to be the platform manager.
The headquarters is really ruthless in letting students show off their killer moves...

…On Monday night, on the banks of the Hongpu River in Jianghai City, at the luxurious Black Pearl Three Diamond Restaurant – Tang Wenge.

As soon as Lu Yu, dressed in a suit and tie, walked in, Fan Langtao, who was sitting by the window, waved at him with a smile.

In the afternoon, Lu Yu received a text message from the other party inviting him to dinner, and he happily accepted the invitation.

"Senior Fan, you look well. Have you been on a roll in the last two years?"

"Brother Lu, are you deliberately mocking me? I'm still a poor worker, and you've become the CEO of a prestigious gaming company. Come on, order whatever you want. I'll treat you."

The two of them ate and drank while chatting about interesting things that happened in college.

Lu Yu joined the school's Travel Research Society when he was a freshman. At that time, Fan Langtao, who was a junior, served as the vice president.

But because the real president is too bad, basically all the club's affairs are managed by Fan Langtao.

After three rounds of drinks, Fan Langtao looked at the cruise ship outside the window and suddenly said:

"Actually, this time when I returned to Jianghai City, besides wanting to reconnect with you, I also wanted to apologize to you for what happened back then."

Lu Yu smiled slightly, he naturally knew what the other party was talking about.

During my sophomore year, Youyi Company held a college student game development competition.
In addition to "The Way of Cats" developed by Lu Yu and Liu Mengyuan, Jianghai University's Game Research Society has another game registered for the competition, which was developed by Fan Langtao.

In the end, Cat's Way won the third prize, while the other party's game didn't win any prize.
Soon, the people in Fan Langtao's group began to gossip sourly, saying that the award for "The Way of Cats" was pre-determined because Liu Mengyuan was Liu Lan's daughter.

Lu Yu was so angry that he had a big quarrel with Fan Langtao and others and quit the Game Research Society.

Fan Langtao took a sip of wine and smacked his lips:
"I was so stupid back then. I thought I was so awesome, I couldn't stand this or that, and I kept talking about 'evil capital'.
What was the result? After graduating and spending two years in Shenzhou, experiencing countless social beatings, I finally understood that people like us, born to be slaves, must either become capitalists or rely on them.

Fan Langtao smiled bitterly and shook his head, then drank the wine in his glass.

"You are awesome, you have always stuck to your original intention.

I really didn't expect that you could carry forward the original idea of ​​"The Way of Cats" and make it into "Cat Girl Paradise Adventure", and make a fortune directly with this game.

However, the more I know how difficult it is for you to realize your dream, the more I hope you will listen to the advice of the senior..."

When Fan Langtao said this, his eyes inadvertently gleamed, and he revealed his killer move:
"In this situation, you can only rely on capital to keep your hard-earned business."

Lu Yu put down his chopsticks with a smile, without commenting, but asked:
"Senior Fan, are you treating me to a meal today as a college classmate, or as the manager of the Youyi Platform Department?"

Fan Langtao's pupils shrank sharply, he was stunned for a moment, then said with relief:

"Good boy, you already know my position, don't you?"

"Hey, after all, the circle of classmates is so small. If you just ask around, you'll know that the senior has a high position in the Liu Group."

Fan Langtao's face trembled, but soon returned to a smiling expression:
"In that case, I won't be so reserved. Let's speak frankly.
Liu's Group will offer a good price to acquire Taoyuan Township in full. You can also get a producer title at Youyi Company and continue your dream of making games.

And Liu Xuemei can go home, and I can report to the board of directors smoothly. Everyone is happy, isn't that wonderful?"

When Lu Yu heard the other party suggest that Liu Mengyuan go home, he suddenly understood.

No wonder You Yi would rather kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of his own men in order to besiege Taoyuan Township.

As he was thinking, his cell phone suddenly rang. After answering it, Liu Mengyuan's voice came from the receiver:
"Aren't you going home for dinner tonight? The turtle soup is almost cold."

Lu Yu's voice was soft: "Well, I won't reply. Let's put it in the refrigerator first. Senior Fan and I are having dinner."

"Oh, well, when you go home tonight, can you please buy me a pack of Seven Degrees? I... feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach."

"Hmm? Upset stomach?"

"No, there are always one or two days every month..."

"Oh, I see. Then I'll buy you some motherwort granules and brown sugar. Be careful not to touch the cold water. Wait for me to come back."

After hanging up the phone, Fan Langtao was shocked.

With a clatter, his chopsticks fell directly onto the table.

"You, you are living together with Schoolmate Liu?!"
