The next day, Lincoln arrived at the company on time, planning to finish the final touches of the “Assassins’ Alliance” promotional video with the employees.
But he saw a stranger, sitting in the reception area of the office.
Quentina quickly approached him, explaining: “Carl, the co-founder of Fusheng Capital. ”
In the meantime, the man in the suit and leather shoes had already stood up. He exuded the aura of a successful person and quickly approached Lincoln.
He stretched out his hand to shake hands with Lincoln when he was still several steps away.
Lincoln had no intention of accepting investment. He had things to do today and wasn’t interested in wasting time with investors.
However, there’s an old saying, we don’t hit a person who reaches out in friendliness, especially when their etiquette is so good. If you don’t even listen to what they say, you appear ill-bred.
He had to extend his hand courteously, shaking hands and saying hello to the other party.
“Boss Lin, hello, hello.”
“Hello, Mr. Carl. What’s up?” Lincoln jokingly asked: “You’re not going to say ‘buy Cloud Dream’ and then give me a cheque to fill in any amount, are you?” Carl showed a wry smile and shook his head.
When Lincoln had just registered Cloud Dream, he really wanted to buy it and was even willing to pay ten or a hundred times the price.
But the development speed of Cloud Dream was too fast. Dream Cloud Studio’s assets went from a 500 million loan to 2 billion a week later, then 6 billion a week after that, then 16 billion, 26 billion…
By this Saturday, it could possibly climb to 50 billion!
Could he not fork out 50 billion? Of course, he could.
If Lincoln was to say he wanted to sell Cloud Dream at this point, the investors willing to wave cheques to shut him up could line up two streets away! — If so many people could really afford it.
But the problem was — it’s not possible now!
Who would be foolish enough to sell such an asset that doubles every week and is currently irreproducible?
That’s why, from the very beginning, countless investors were looking for Lincoln all over the world, even going to Donghua University to find his homeroom teacher, hoping to get an introduction and board his ship as early as possible.
Later on, Lincoln’s assets increased several times a week, fully demonstrating the incomparable investment value of Cloud Dream and reflecting the foresight of many investors. But the number of people looking for him diminished.
Because everyone thought: Lincoln would not sell.
So they stopped wasting their efforts.
Carl came here today not with a wild hope of finding a bargain, but with the mindset of ‘just in case’. He wanted to use the resources he had and what Lincoln needed to exchange for a chance to buy shares in Cloud Dream, even at a high price and for only a small portion.
Buying it would truly be profiting!
After the two sat down, perhaps realizing that Lincoln was running out of patience, Carl didn’t bother playing games and directly revealed his trump card: he could help Cloud Dream go public. Fusheng has a wealth of experience in this area, and Cloud Dream has unlimited potential, he could guarantee a 100% success rate!
“With only a year and a half, I am confident that I can help you get Cloud Dream listed, breaking the fastest listing record in the country! I can push you straight into the top five on the domestic rich list! Even reaching the first place is not impossible!”
Unfortunately, despite Carl’s enticing promise, Lincoln’s interest remained low.
He achieved financial freedom just a week after creating Cloud Dream.
If it’s just personal expenses, one billion is enough for him to spend for a lifetime.
After that, whether it’s 10 billion, 100 billion, or 1,000 billion, they are just a numbers game, and it’s really hard to move him.
Carl was disappointed but not surprised.
He also knew that with the potential of Cloud Dream, it really doesn’t need any help to go public smoothly. Lincoln’s indifference is normal.
To his surprise, Lincoln didn’t have the slightest intention of going public with Cloud Dream.
Carl continued with another card: “Dream Cloud’s console and games are only developed domestically. The market will eventually be limited. Under our Fusheng Capital, we possess sales channels in several countries around the world. We can help you quickly tap into the international market.”
Lincoln’s eyes lit up, that’s good! He indeed needs this.
Carl noticed Lincoln’s interest and was about to continue, but Lincoln suddenly raised his hand to stop him.
“Mr. Carl, to save both of our time, I will get straight to the point: I do not intend to accept any capital injection. From the moment I established Dream Cloud, I am determined that Dream Cloud must be completely owned by me, and this idea will never change.”
Lincoln was firmed: “Dream Cloud does need to enter the international market, but I will not exchange Dream Cloud’s shares for it, I would rather take a slower pace.”
Carl was very disappointed, but he still finished the tea in his cup gracefully, then chatted with Lincoln for a while, and finally exchanged contact information with Lincoln before leaving.
“Global market…” After Carl left, Lincoln thought to himself, “No hurry, it’s
only a matter of time. Maybe we can cooperate later on.”
The supply of Mirage Console is not even sufficient for the domestic market. At least before the domestic market is saturated, it is not a hurry to expand overseas.
Lincoln logged into the virtual world, and the Easter eggs made by the employees have all been completed, the game production has been entirely finished, now they are waiting for him to record the promotional material.
Yes, the production of the promotional material had started last week, and most parts of it have already been completed.
However, for the climax scene, whether it is controlled by an NPC or a real person’s performance, it’s just not quite right, it’s not smooth and stylish enough.
If they use time to fine-tune it, they probably won’t have enough time.
The problem finally comes to Lincoln, and Lincoln simply said, “Sure, let me do it and show you guys my skill.”
He’s been wanting to show off his skill to everyone, that’s why Lincoln was not in the mood to talk to Carl.
Lincoln revealed yesterday in his live stream on Super Tomato that the latest promotional material of “Assassin’s League” would be released this afternoon, along with the release date.
The players are looking forward to it, but the problem is – he did not mention the specific time in the afternoon.
Many players have been restless since morning, their expectation reached its peak after lunch.
Players would pull out their mobile phones every few minutes to check Dream Cloud’s Spiritual Rhinoceros homepage.
The streamers in the live broadcasting room also couldn’t settle down.
Camille Victoria was idly chatting with the audience in her live broadcast as she was bored, suddenly she saw a comment from an audience saying “The promotional material is out! It’s amazing! Go check it out! ” She sat up abruptly and quickly opened Dream Cloud’s homepage.
Only to find nothing.
Subconsciously, she refreshed the page twice and still saw nothing.
Camille Victoria then realized that she had been tricked and angrily gestured at the camera.
The audiences especially enjoyed teasing Yi.
After being fooled 5 times in an hour like a fool, Yi finally learned his lesson and tried to ignore such comments.
However, after a while, a hardcore fan suddenly sent a conspicuous message: “The promotional material is out! Go check it out!”
Yi thought it would be true since he even paid to rush the message, so he hurriedly opened Dream Cloud’s homepage – but still found nothing.
However, his live broadcast room erupts with laughter.
The infuriated Yi decided: to completely ignore these teasing comments.
Until a moment when suddenly numerous comments appeared simultaneously, notifying Yi that the promotional material was out, he was still stubbornly saying, “Don’t try to trick me! If I’m fooled by you guys again, I’m a dog!”
But this time, the promotional material of “Assassin’s League” – was really released!
