Upon hearing Hong Weiguo’s analysis, the faces of all the executives present took on a ghastly tint.

It was because they knew that Liu Yihui’s move was extremely hard to tackle.

“CEO Hong, what should we do?” The executive who had previously spoken anxiously said, “We can ignore the others, but we definitely cannot allow him to develop the search engine!”

“That’s right, that’s right. If the search engine is developed successfully by them, wouldn’t our Sangle…”

“‘Search’ is our foundation, we can’t lose it no matter what!”

“Alright, I’m fully aware of what everyone is worried about.” Hong Weiguo thought for a while, yet he felt very helpless as well. Lack of funds was just one of the issues, another issue was that, since the other party’s six sets of business services were completely dependent on the Turkey Messaging Software, it was very hard to prevent it even if he wanted to. As for what should exactly be done, the anxious Hong Weiguo couldn’t think of any solution in the meantime.

Miserable and gloomy.

All the executives were truly helpless as well.

Just as everyone was worried, all of a sudden, Hong Weiguo’s secretary came in in a hurry. He ran very desperately, and a mere short distance had already caused him to be gasping for breath. It was obvious that he ran here at a speed of a hundred-meter sprinter. Upon entering, the secretary loudly exclaimed. “CEO Hong! Good news! A huge piece of good news! An earth-shattering huge piece of good news!”

“What good news, quickly say it!” Hong Weiguo knew this secretary of his rather well, for he was definitely the kind of person who could easily maintain his composure. That was definitely a huge piece of good news if he could shout out such words at such an important meeting!

“Xiao Liu, exactly what kind of news has caused you to be so frightened.” The executives below were immediately surprised. “You don’t behave that way usually.”

“It’s really a huge piece of news! A great huge piece of news!” The secretary Xiao Liu laughed heartily and said, “CEO Hong! The news broadcast just now, the first piece of news, it was the country issuing a policy to develop the West Fourth Loop! The country has taken the initiative in wanting to develop the West Fourth Loop! We’d bought so many pieces of land…”

“What?!” Upon hearing this piece of news, Hong Weiguo and the executives below were dumbfounded.

After a short period of silence, soon after, Hong Weiguo and all the executives jumped up as if they had gone mad. Hong Weiguo roared with laughter and said, “Hahahaha! I have a good son, I have a good son! Quick, quickly let me see it, where’s that piece of news!”

The secretary hurriedly took out his phone and connected it to the big screen on the wall. As an assistant personnel with a high level of intelligence quotient, such good news definitely needed to be recorded down to serve as strong evidence.

In no time, the face of the news presenter appeared on the television. “This report is in accordance with the latest resolution passed down from the central government. Due to the unique location, beautiful surroundings, and bountiful travel resources available at the West Fourth Loop in Tianjing City, the government has decided to increase the speed of development in Tianjing City’s Fourth Loop. The exact plan is as follows…” Afterward, it was the detailed development policies.

Hong Weiguo and the others were entirely stunned.

Truly shocked.

A moment later, the entire conference room was entirely chaotic!

“God, quickly pinch me. I’m not dreaming, am I?”

“CEO Hong had previously thrown in 1.2 billion into the West Fourth Loop estates for Young Master Dali! Now that there’s such a policy, it won’t be a problem to increase it by seven- or eight-fold!”

Hong Weiguo was also entirely stupefied. Happiness had come a bit too soon. “Xiao Liu, quickly give me a pinch, this is true, right?”

Very soon. “It hurts!” Hong Weiguo let out a cry, and soon after, he roared with laughter. “Hahahaha, good, good! I have a good son! Hahaha! 1.2 billion invested in the land has received at least 100 million and above worth of yieldings!”

The secretary, Xiao Liu, excitedly said, “CEO Hong! With this piece of news, when we negotiate terms with others, won’t it be…”

“Hahaha! What’s more to say, then.” Hong Weiguo slapped the big conference table fiercely. “Online Gaming, Turkey Level, these two are the exclusive business services by Turkey, we can’t interfere in these. However, we can work with other related big companies in the country to provide the other business services! For Turkey Space, we can work with Xinhai Weibo to provide this business service; as for board and card gaming, we can work with Lianxing Chess; for music, we can find Ku Ge, hahaha! With the potential value in these pieces of land, there’s sure to be a huge hike in the value of our company’s shares, needless to mention the right to have a say. Xiao Liu, go and let the news out now, quick!”

Secretary Xiao Liu was also rather overjoyed, as he immediately ran outside without objection. “I’ll go now!”

“Hahaha! As for the rest.” Hong Weiguo slapped the conference table until he almost crushed it. “Let’s exert all our might in attacking Turkey Search Engine! Let’s make the money he spent on it vanish without a trace! Hahahahaha!”

A huge hike in the value of these pieces of land—what does that mean, that means having the confidence to speak out and state their conditions!

Money was the source of courage for heroes since ancient times!

While Hong Weiguo was laughing to his heart’s content, a bespectacled executive with not much hair left on his head went along with it and dryly laughed a few times. Afterward, he apologized and said, “CEO Hong, I can’t take it anymore. I’m a little too overjoyed. I’ll make my way to the washroom first to relax a little…”

“You may go.” Hong Weiguo nodded and said, “Remember to come back quickly, we’ll celebrate tonight!”

“Alright!”

After the bespectacled man had gone out, an executive from below smiled and said, “CEO Hong, about Hao Mingxu, don’t you plan to…” As he said that, he gestured a “cut,” and others nodded their heads as well.

Hong Weiguo smiled and said, “Don’t you feel that we should have someone who is so capable at divulging secret information?”

“Hahahaha, that’s true, that’s true, haha!”

“I reckon that Liu Yihui is on fire by now, right? Haha.”

“Like what I said, how would it be possible for CEO Hong to make such a mistake? But CEO Hong, had you already predicted that there would be such a good piece of news today?”

Hong Weiguo smiled and said, “How’s that possible? I was just thinking that it doesn’t matter if he’s present when we can’t think of a solution, but once we have a good solution, we naturally can’t call him along. It was just that today’s news was too unexpected, but that’s good as well, we might as well ask him to bring Liu Yihui a message, haha!” Speaking up to this point, Hong Weiguo even winked on purpose. “When we celebrate later, don’t forget to remind him well again, hahaha!”

“Haha, of course, we have to!”

…

Tianjing City, Turkey headquarters.

Liu Yihui sat on a sling chair in front of a French casement. He was in quite a good mood as he looked at the night view of the city with neon lights.

He was even holding a glass of red wine in his hand as he leisurely took occasional sips.

He had planned this big movement for a long time. He had already acquired information about Hong Weiguo’s land resumption. Thus, he threw a few pieces of the West Fourth Loop land out first to trap Hong Weiguo’s liquid funds, and afterward, he secretly raised funds to create the application. Soon after, he grasped ahold of the timing of the Hong Family’s family meeting and struck at once, immediately catching Hong Weiguo off guard.

“Space, Chess Cards, Music, Online Gaming, Search, as well as Level System. Hehe, once these six sets of applications are released together, no matter how much a genius Hong Weiguo may be, he can’t possibly do anything, right? Just by relying on his remaining mere 7 billion liquid funds, at most, it could only target the Search portion, as for the others, no matter how anxious he may be, there’s no way for him to do anything to them, haha.”

Liu Yihui gleefully shook the glass of red wine in his hands and gently took a sip.

His side had thrown in 3 billion at one go, in fact, just to use the “Search” to block Hong Weiguo’s vision. In fact, he had only spent about around 200 million on the search engine. Thus, it was the typical all talk but no action.

His real goal was the other five sets of business services.

Turkey Space could be used by all Turkey users, with various types of functions tied to it—diary, photo album, Weibo, and so on. Moreover, this Turkey space could be decorated by the users themselves. What was Xinhai Weibo compared to this? Though it had many users, could it compare to his Turkey Messaging Software? Even if it couldn’t fully strike Xinhai Weibo down with one blow, it could at least take huge advantage of the situation.

Chess Cards and board games, this was inclusive of almost all the Chess Cards and board game-related games, and the players could attain a free Turkey coin. What if it had been used up? Of course, spend money to buy more. Though it couldn’t get everyone to spend money, there was still quite a number who were willing to pay.

Music, needless to say, was tied with the Messaging software and Space. Just by opening Turkey Messenger, people could easily search for music to listen to online. Ku Ge? Heh heh, could it possibly be as convenient as mine?

Online gaming, with Mingxin’s Draconic Continent holding its fort there, there was no need to worry about that at all. By doing more advertisement again on Turkey Software, his popularity would skyrocket for sure. On the other hand, by just downloading the applications there, users could even obtain a virtual object from the game.

As for the Turkey user upgrade system, if he could strengthen the Customer Stickiness, it would not be a problem to upgrade, just hang it down there! One feather per level, silver after five levels, gold after 25 levels, diamond after 100 levels! Hang it there for 10 hours daily, and the user would be rewarded with a Turkey bean that could be used for all Turkey business services!

This time, he had thrown in 3 billion at one go not just to give rewards to the users, but also for an overwhelming amount of commercials.

What can Hong Weiguo rely on to fight with me?

In this world, without money, relying on just pure reputation, what use does it have? Can it be used as money?

As for Xinhai Weibo and Ku Ge Music, Humph humph, just like how the arm was always weaker than the leg, what can they do even if they knew? As long as he had gotten ahead of them, wouldn’t they be easily manipulated by him afterward?

This Turkey Software of mine aims exactly to be convenient and fast. It can easily be used, and when these business services open up together and give many benefits to the users, I don’t believe that they will not be tempted!

Not to say that users will come and experience all those new business services, but they’d at the very least choose one or two, right? Heh heh, these softwares of mine are all good stuff. As long as they use it, they will at the very least think that it’s not too bad even if it’s not perfect. When they become used to them, it won’t be impossible for it to replace the softwares of the leading companies! Even if it can’t drive them out, it will at the very least gain a huge share of the market!

Upon thinking up to here, Liu Yihui got even more excited as he sat there alone and sipped a mouthful of red wine. As if talking to himself, he chuckled and said, “After this thing has achieved success, heh heh, who will be able to fight with me over the Internet? Sangle? Its main thing is the search engine, the other application services are going to be dominated by me, how great can it get? By that time, my business service will continue to expand, and from now on, my company will be the only largest one in the world of the Internet! Hahaha!”
