My capital is quite large.

Chapter 218 Cutting

November 1st.

Jinling, Xianlin Science and Technology City.

After a two-week vacation in Hong Kong and a harrowing experience of taking care of his child, Li Feng finally returned to the headquarters of Haofeng Group.

Although the boss is not in the company, this huge business machine is still running at high speed.

As soon as Li Feng returned to China, the top executives of various business units gathered in the top-floor conference room with documents in hand to conduct monthly reports and make final decisions on key matters.

"Mr. Li, there's a project in the mobile game division that we need your review regarding the development progress of the acquired company."

Feng Yi, head of the mobile game division, stood up first and handed over a report: "Mihoyo Studio, their 2D side-scrolling shooting mobile game 'Honkai Impact 2' is in the final stages of development and is expected to be launched for testing next month."

"In addition, those young people are very ambitious. Before Honkai Impact 2 was even launched, they submitted a project application to the group for Honkai Impact 3, saying that they wanted to make a full 3D action mobile game."

Feng Yi looked at Li Feng and tentatively asked, "Mr. Li, what do you think about the Honkai Impact 3 project? Should we hold off on it for now? Wait until we get market feedback on Honkai Impact 2 and make some money before approving the budget? After all, the development cost of a full 3D action mobile game is not low."

Li Feng glanced at the application form, which was filled with anime and chuunibyou (delusional) vibes.

Honkai Impact 3?

This is a masterpiece that could carry half the sky of domestic anime-style action mobile games in the future! He has never doubted the execution and R&D capabilities of those few otaku.

"No need to hold back. The entire budget will be approved."

Li Feng signed his name on the application form without writing a single word of additional requirements.

"Tell Cai Haoyu and the others not to worry about money. As long as they can solidify their technical foundation, they can do whatever they want. Our Haofeng Group can support tech geeks with dreams."

Feng Yi was taken aback and glanced at the boss with some surprise.

He could tell that the boss was extremely indulgent towards this "small workshop" that he had only spent ten million to buy!

It's worth noting that even for "Let Go of That Three Kingdoms," a game developed by the mobile game division itself, the boss still made several revisions and scrutinys when the project was first initiated!

This treatment is practically like being treated like a godson by Haofeng Games!

"Okay, Mr. Li, I'll give them the green light right away." Although Feng Yi was puzzled, he quickly agreed.

After finishing with the game, Lao Han, the director of the film and television department, took over the conversation.

"Mr. Li, the 'National Animation Support Plan' that you emphasized before is progressing very quickly on various platforms. However..."

Old Han frowned slightly, his tone revealing a hint of worry: "It seems our subject matter has gone a bit astray."

"Currently, the most popular and trending works in the animation section are mostly supernatural and bizarre. For example, 'Corpse Brother' and 'Mr. Amazing China'."

"Furthermore, the anime series we imported from Japan, such as 'Attack on Titan' and 'Tokyo Ghoul,' with their gory, violent, and bizarre themes, have become incredibly popular, practically dominating online anime traffic!"

"Mr. Li, this kind of subject matter is popular, but the content is too explicit. I'm worried that once it becomes too popular, it might face the risk of being taken down by the authorities."

Upon hearing Lao Han's report, Li Feng fell into deep thought.

As a reborn being, he knew the fate of these works.

"Corpse Brother," "Attack on Titan," "Tokyo Ghoul"... these bizarre and grotesque themes are precisely the easiest way for this generation of young people to break out of their niche and attract attention!

But at the same time, they are also the sword of Damocles hanging over our heads!

He clearly remembers that in the near future, relevant national departments will launch a massive "Clean Internet Campaign"!

Without exception, all of these works were banned and removed from the entire internet!

Li Feng couldn't judge whether this "one-size-fits-all" review system was right or wrong, but he deeply understood an age-old truth:

When doing business in China, never go against the will of those in power!

Anyone who goes against the policy, no matter how big they are, will ultimately suffer the consequences!

"Old Han, your concerns are valid."

"Starting today, we will implement physical isolation measures for anime content!"

"All works with positive themes, uplifting themes, and in line with core socialist values ​​will be broadcast on the two main platforms, Bilibili and iQiyi!"

"And those works that deal with sensitive themes such as the supernatural, the bizarre, or gore..."

Li Feng tapped the table: "Move everything to the [U17] platform! Separate U17 from our entertainment matrix and make it an independently operated app!"

"Youyaoqi should focus on adult content and edgy/grotesque themes, continuing to capitalize on this surge in traffic. But remember!"

"If there's any sign of trouble from above, or if any relevant internet cleanup policies are introduced, immediately take physical action against Youyaoqi! If necessary, be ruthless and shut it down!"

"We absolutely cannot allow this sensitive content to implicate Bilibili and iQiyi, our two core platforms!"

Old Han was terrified. His boss had even planned out an escape route and a way to cut his losses in advance!

"Understood! I'll immediately arrange for the legal and technical departments to isolate the platform!"

Next came lengthy reports from the Investment & Mergers & Acquisitions Department and the Finance Department.

"Mr. Li, the 'indirect approach' to acquire ATL Battery in Japan is progressing very smoothly. We have successfully sown discord within their Chinese founding team, and we expect to complete the management buyout (MBO) as early as August next year, bringing absolute control of ATL back to China!"

"Furthermore, if everything goes smoothly, we will still have a considerable surplus from our reserved acquisition budget of 35 billion..."

"Mr. Li, Weibo's Google revenue hit a new record high again last month..."

"Pop Mart's offline store expansion is progressing smoothly, and blind box sales are steadily increasing..."

Listening to these detailed reports, Li Feng patiently sat in the conference room for more than an hour before finally finishing these routine tasks.

……

The meeting ended, and everyone dispersed.

Li Feng returned to his CEO office and leaned wearily against his chair.

"Boss, you've worked hard. Let me give you a massage~"

As a fragrant breeze wafted by, Zhang Yuxi, the new chief secretary who had already been trained quite well, obediently walked behind Li Feng.

Those soft, delicate little hands rested on Li Feng's temples and shoulders, kneading them with just the right amount of pressure, which relaxed Li Feng's tense nerves considerably.

"Any other important schedules this week?" Li Feng asked casually, his eyes closed as he enjoyed the massage.

Zhang Yuxi immediately recalled her boss's schedule in her mind and reported to her supervisor in a clear voice:

"Boss, tomorrow, the 3rd, Mr. Wang from Wanda has scheduled a visit with you. It's mainly about the guaranteed screenings for Wanda Cinemas and Haofeng Films' upcoming blockbusters, as well as the details of a deeper partnership."

At this point, Zhang Yuxi paused, then added, "Oh, by the way, Mr. Wang's secretary specifically mentioned that Mr. Wang will also be coming tomorrow, apparently to consult you about his e-sports business."

"Not again?" Li Feng scoffed.

Li Feng had absolutely no interest in dealing with that young master Wang, who was determined to make waves in the e-sports world.

However, out of respect for Wang, the richest man in China, it wouldn't hurt to meet him.

Li Feng reached out and pulled Zhang Yuxi, who was standing behind him, into his arms. His large hand covered her firm, soft breasts, kneading them to relieve his fatigue.

"Continue." Li Feng leaned back in his chair, gesturing for her to continue her report.

Zhang Yuxi blushed at the sudden action, and her breathing became a little rapid, but she still tried to remain calm, enduring the strange sensation in her body, and continued:

"Number 4 is... it's JD.com's Dong Ge."

"Dong Ge said that their preparations for listing in the US have entered the final sprint stage. This trip to Jinling is probably to finalize some details about the distribution of control and board seats after the listing with you, the major shareholder with a 15% stake."

When JD.com's shares were mentioned, Li Feng paused in his work.

"How much did you borrow to acquire this 15% stake in JD.com?" Li Feng asked.

"We borrowed US$450 million, which is nearly RMB 3 billion. The expenditure was used to buy the penthouse in Hong Kong's The Grand Hotel outright," Zhang Yuxi blurted out, her memory excellent.

"Three billion..."

Li Feng pondered for a moment, then said, "Inform the finance department to repay this loan and redeem the shares."

"Okay, boss, I've got it." Zhang Yuxi nodded obediently.

"Is there anything else?" Li Feng continued to ask.

"Number 5..."

Zhang Yuxi glanced at the last name on the schedule. "The 5th is a private meeting with Mr. Su Youpeng. He's the one Boss Jack Ma introduced to you before..."
