Chapter 1533 Found a Promising Game Development Company

This sentence stumped Nie Yunsheng.

Crap, he knew that the live streaming platform wouldn't be easy to handle!

He had been deliberately vague, trying to gloss over the issue. He didn't expect Zhu Yan to be so shrewd, an old fox who couldn't be fooled.

Nie Yunsheng wasn't lying. They had indeed convinced Waiwai Live to join the anti-Tengda alliance.

With Waiwai Live and Wolf Fang Live, two platforms with high market share, the anti-Tengda alliance held a comparative advantage over Rabbit Tail Live, at least in this area.

On the surface, this seemed like a great thing.

But the problem was... neither platform wanted to make the first move!

Although this alliance gave Waiwai Live and Wolf Fang Live hope of defeating Rabbit Tail Live, they were still competitors! Their previous spending war had been fierce, and they had built up a lot of animosity.

This hostility wouldn't disappear so easily.

Now, although Nie Yunsheng had brought them into the anti-Tengda alliance, neither wanted to fire the first shot.

Each was afraid of being used as a pawn, only to be ambushed by the other.

There was also a crucial factor: both live streaming platforms had a significant percentage of their business in game streaming.

Their feelings toward Tengda were complex.

On the one hand, they didn't dare offend Tengda too much. They didn't want to be the first to stick their necks out. What if Tengda banned them from streaming Tengda games? Would they let all those *gog* streamers starve?

Of course, Tengda had never done anything like that before, but what if they got desperate? You never knew.

On the other hand, they were very afraid of Rabbit Tail Live, because Rabbit Tail Live's connection with Tengda Games was getting closer and closer. Maybe one day, the two platforms would be fighting, and Rabbit Tail Live would swoop in for a double kill.

It was a contradiction.

So this time, the two platforms looked powerful, but they were still hesitating, not yet ready to commit.

Waiwai Live said they would follow suit as long as Wolf Fang Live went first. Conversely, Wolf Fang Live felt that Waiwai Live had to take the lead.

This was quite awkward.

As the saying goes, heavy rewards bring forth brave men, but who would provide the heavy rewards?

The anti-Tengda alliance was a relatively loose alliance. Nie Yunsheng couldn't possibly pay out of his own pocket, could he?

In specific areas, the companies in that area would have to pay for themselves, provide their own people, and find their own solutions.

The battle plan was "everyone attacks Tengda together", but there was never a precise conclusion on where the attack would start, who would go first, how many resources would be spent, or to what extent the attack would go. Each company had different ideas.

Nie Yunsheng was helpless, but he didn't have any better solutions. He could only laugh it off, "Okay, I'll communicate with Waiwai Live again to see if we can come up with rules that satisfy both parties. Then you can work together to poach Rabbit Tail Live's streamers!"

Zhu Yan nodded slightly, "Thank you, President Nie."

In fact, he wasn't particularly optimistic about the anti-Tengda alliance. Based on his experience with Rabbit Tail Live, Tengda Group's power might be far beyond what outsiders imagined.

This power wasn't about how much money Tengda had, or how many industries Tengda spanned, but about...

Tengda Group always seemed to play outside the box. You could never guess what they would do next!

Moreover, Tengda Group was an oddity. Its business model was completely different from other companies, even incompatible. Its reputation was also through the roof.

Being an enemy of Tengda was indeed a dangerous thing. It was easy to get ripped to shreds.

But he knew he had to do something, or it would be too late when Rabbit Tail Live declared war on the other two live streaming platforms.

Since someone was taking the lead, he would play it by ear.

Zhu Yan suddenly thought of something else, "By the way, President Nie, what about the most crucial game and film sectors... have you found any heavyweight partners?"

Nie Yunsheng didn't hide anything, "Movies are easy. Several film companies, including Fanqi Media, have agreed to cooperate with us. Especially Fanqi Media, President Lu Xiaoping's attitude is very firm. He even promised to fund a movie specifically to help us win this war of public opinion."

"The game side is also going smoothly. Several game platforms have joined us, so we have enough power in terms of distribution channels."

"Although we didn't manage to get the up-and-coming emerging game platform, Chaolu Games Platform, our existing distribution channels should be enough."

"The only thing is that our content is relatively weak."

Zhu Yan remembered Fanqi Media.

Fanqi Media's overseas blockbuster "Warship of Fury" had clashed with "Mission and Choice" in release date. They mistakenly thought that "Mission and Choice" moved its date out of fear, so they tried to get marketing mileage through the comparison, but were bitten back. They not only lost a lot of money, but were ripped to shreds.

Fanqi Media definitely harbored resentment about this.

However, Flying Yellow Studio's movies were all hits, and Fanqi Media couldn't find a suitable opportunity, so they could only seethe with impotent rage.

Now that they had joined the anti-Tengda alliance and found so many allies, they were happy to act as the vanguard.

Moreover, Fanqi Media wasn't just a distributor. They also had the resources to make movies.

If they could really make a movie and win a lot of box office revenue, it would definitely be a huge help in winning the war of public opinion against Tengda.

Zhu Yan specifically asked about games and movies because these were Tengda's most important foundations, and could create a huge wave of public opinion.

If they couldn't take down these two hard nuts, their chances of winning were slim.

Fortunately, Nie Yunsheng was well aware of this and was already making arrangements.

But the progress on the game side wasn't particularly smooth. So far, they had only found distributors, in other words, various game platforms.

Official game platforms would definitely not get involved in this kind of thing, but it was a pity that they hadn't managed to get the recently emerging Chaolu Games Platform.

Also, it was a bit of a shame that they hadn't found a capable game development company to join them.

Only having game distribution channels wasn't enough. Game distribution channels could only provide timely help, not make something from nothing. They could promote some good games, but they couldn't create excellent game content out of thin air.

Tengda's game development capabilities were definitely their biggest strength.

Nie Yunsheng didn't expect to find a game development company on the same level as Tengda. That was unrealistic. But they had to find at least one powerful development company to join this alliance to have a better chance of winning.

Otherwise, if Tengda seized on this and attacked fiercely, and his side had no way to fight back, the situation could become difficult to handle.

Just then, Nie Yunsheng's phone vibrated, and he received a new message.

Nie Yunsheng didn't pay attention at first, but when he saw the content of the message, his face lit up.

"President Zhu, we have it! We found a suitable game development company!"

Zhu Yan couldn't help but be delighted. He raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Which company is it?"

A large part of Wolf Fang Live's business was game streaming, so they were very interested in excellent original games.

Nie Yunsheng was a little proud, "I sent people to look for promising game developers in the country, wanting to bring them in to strengthen our team. As the saying goes, nothing is impossible to a willing mind. We finally found one!"

"It's a game company in Jingzhou that previously developed a mobile game called *Empire's Edge*."

Zhu Yan frowned slightly, "Mobile game?"

Obviously, although mobile games were also profitable, they were completely outmatched by Tengda.

Nie Yunsheng continued, "President Zhu, let me finish. They did develop a mobile game before, but now they're making a AAA single-player game!"

"From the information I've obtained so far, the quality of this game is quite good, not inferior to Tengda's various masterpieces! Of course, the game is still in development, and it will be a while before it's officially released."

"But this gives us an opportunity! If this game had already been completed, it would be difficult for us to get involved. Since it hasn't been completed yet, their funds will definitely be tight. If we offer a helping hand at this time, I don't think anyone would refuse."

Zhu Yan thought for a moment, "It sounds good. But... this company is in Jingzhou. Could it be related to Tengda?"

Nie Yunsheng said, "From what we can tell, it shouldn't be!"

"This company seems to have a close relationship with Chaolu Games Platform, but Chaolu Games Platform... shouldn't have much to do with Tengda."

"Put yourself in their shoes. If this company had a close relationship with Tengda, or received investment from Tengda, they would have already been promoting themselves under President Pei's banner. Why would they have remained unknown for so long?"

Zhu Yan nodded slightly. That made sense.

They couldn't say for sure that a certain company had absolutely no relationship with Tengda, but they could think about it the other way: if they had already received Tengda's investment, they would have advertised it widely. Why would they keep it a secret?

When Skyfire Studio and Longyu Group reached a cooperation agreement with Tengda to jointly develop "Bullet Marks 2", the marketing plan was released not long after, and they started building momentum in advance.

The effect was indeed very good, making the game a new hit this year.

Now, President Pei was already a golden brand. As long as domestic game companies put up the banner of President Pei and Tengda, they could immediately gain a lot of attention.

But this company hadn't mentioned it at all... so it was probably really not related to Tengda.

Zhu Yan asked, "What's the name of the game this company is developing?"

Nie Yunsheng, "*Shu Li*!" (Note: *Shu Li* refers to a poem in the *Book of Songs*, expressing nostalgia and longing for the past)

"I'll have someone arrange a trip to Jingzhou immediately to meet with the owner of this company, bring together several investment companies, and try to bring him over to our side!"

"By the way, we can also pay a visit to Chaolu Games Platform."

"Although they refused before, maybe the situation will change if we visit them in person?"
