My capital is quite large.

Chapter 324 Turbulent Times

Just as the domestic film industry was making quite a stir due to the box office clash between two summer blockbusters, the game division, the lifeblood of Haofeng Group's revenue, delivered news even more shocking than that from the film industry.

Haofeng Games' mobile game division released two major titles within a week, stirring up the nerves of players both domestically and globally.

The manga-adapted masterpiece "Naruto Mobile" and the card game masterpiece "Fate/Grand Order," which carries the faith of countless anime fans, launched their open beta simultaneously on major app stores around the world in a very short period of time.

From the very first day of the public beta, the data for these two manga adaptations skyrocketed.

Although they are still far from being comparable to the mobile game giant "Honor of Kings" in terms of overall daily active users and national popularity.

However, its ability to generate revenue and its explosive growth in data during the first week of its open beta were in no way inferior to the wildly popular "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Furthermore, due to its global performance in overseas markets, FGO's revenue in its first week was even slightly higher than that of Rise of Kingdoms.

The Saint Quartz system, which combines the faith in anime characters with a gacha mechanic, has shown an amazing ability to attract otaku in Europe, America, and East Asia, making countless players willingly spend money like crazy for their favorite Servants.

In the eyes of actuaries in the industry, this means that two super cash cows with annual revenue of at least 3 billion RMB have successively landed in Haofeng's mobile platform.

The success of two consecutive mobile game masterpieces naturally owes its credit and glory to Feng Ji, the head of the mobile game department.

As a key player that Li Feng recruited at great expense, Feng Ji's reputation and influence within the group have risen significantly after he successfully developed "Clash Royale" and these two manga-based blockbusters.

But Feng Ji knew very well that compared to Old Chen, the department head who held the two trump cards of LoL and Honor of Kings, his current resources were far from enough to challenge Old Chen's position.

In terms of national popularity, daily active user base, and long-term esports ecosystem, neither card-based anime adaptations nor horizontal-screen esports can compare in terms of scale.

Feng Ji was naturally a smart man, and he knew that his success with Nenggou on the mobile platform had almost reached its limit.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have specifically sought out Li Feng to volunteer and ask to lead the team for the PC game project "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" under Bluehole Studio, which was still in the development stage.

He had a premonition that in the next five years, if he wanted to truly surpass Old Chen and take his place, he would have to achieve his own breakthrough in hardcore PC games.

He had read the current product introduction of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds". The FPS mode plus the battle royale mode, coupled with the popularity of similar competing products such as H1Z1, made him convinced that this new game was the key to his breakthrough.

Upon learning of Feng Ji's new game, Old Chen naturally wouldn't sit idly by.

As a veteran with deep knowledge of workplace politics, Old Chen has always been very astute about the changing of the guard.

While fully managing the League of Legends LPL league and the overall esports landscape, he personally took charge of the new 3D action mobile game being developed by miHoYo, a subsidiary of Haofeng Games!

……

Just as the entire game department was in an uproar over the launch of a new project.

Jinling, a villa area adjacent to Zijin Mountain.

The living room was lit only by a floor lamp with soft light. Li Xin, dressed in tight yoga clothes, sat in the main seat of the sofa with a somewhat cold and hard expression.

As someone who stands apart from the three major factions of the Great Tang Poet Immortals and forms his own faction within the company, Li Xin's mood has been anything but good lately.

There is no other reason.

It's all because of that corruption case that Bai Lu pulled off a while ago, which caused their Lianliankan Sisters group to have a drastically reduced presence in Zijin Mountain recently.

The favors that used to come twice a week have been reduced to once every two weeks.

Such neglect is naturally a very dangerous sign in the harem, where there are far more monks than concubines.

"Look at your bones, they're as hard as a rock!"

Li Xin scolded Bai Lu, who was struggling to bend over while holding onto the wall, with a hint of disappointment:

"You've been with the company for years! And you still can't even do a basic split properly!"

"All those Pilates and yoga classes I signed you up for, did they all go to waste?!"

Despite feeling wronged by such a harsh reprimand, Bai Lu didn't dare utter a single word in front of this boss.

He could only grit his teeth and endure the soreness in his thighs as he continued to practice his flexibility against the wall.

"Alright, Sister Xin, don't hold a grudge against Bai Lu."

Sun Yi, peeling an orange beside him, said with a hint of helplessness, "I heard that the boss has been busy with the photoresist business lately, so he doesn't have time to bother with us sisters."

"There's no use in us being anxious. After all, Secretary Zhang holds all the rules."

Li Xin leaned back on the sofa, somewhat irritated, and stuffed the food into her mouth.

Of course she knew that rushing wouldn't help.

However, unlike Yang Mi and the others, she did not have the authority to establish an independent subsidiary.

Even Tang Shi Film and Television was co-founded by two top actresses, Tang Yan and Liu Shishi.

Although Li Xin has become a very popular actress in the past two years, she believes that her position in her boss's heart is far from comparable to those of the others.

After all, those women all bore sons for the boss.

Moreover, if we really disregard the opportunistic sisterhood...

In terms of her own importance in the boss's heart, she is at most on par with Ni Ni.

Even compared to rising star Zhao Liying, her strengths are quite limited.

"Sister Xin, since Miss Ni and the others are all rushing to put people into the company now."

Sun Yi's eyes darted around, and he leaned closer with a mischievous grin, saying, "Then, shouldn't we go and recruit some new people?"
