261: Feihuang is popular

Yamai Murayu did not underestimate Qian Ziyong in the slightest.

Qian Ziyong held deep prejudices against the Shanjing Consortium; if they didn't beat Qian Ziyong into submission, the Shanjing Consortium would never be able to develop in China.

Furthermore, Qian Ziyong had previously scammed them with Bingmi Milk Tea, causing massive financial losses to the Shanjing Consortium. That score had yet to be settled!

After ending the call, Qian Ziyong could finally get a good night's sleep.

The feeling of having someone spend money to help you out was truly satisfying.

With the Shanjing Consortium here to keep an eye on things for him, he could rest easy.

...

On the other side, a thirty-year-old Video Blogger was searching for information online inside his bedroom, which was less than ten square meters.

His name was Xiang Yang—surname Xiang, given name Yang—and he felt he was destined to achieve great things in this life.

Having discovered that short videos were currently trending, he made his living from them, hoping to make a name for himself.

Unfortunately, after two years, although he had gained some popularity online, his career remained lukewarm.

He filmed whatever was trending, but his results were, at best, very average, and he could usually only earn enough for living expenses.

He was very dissatisfied with this.

Just some time ago, he discovered a very fun game called "kitchen chaos," which was extremely popular online.

Seeing how popular this game was, he started playing it and released several videos related to "kitchen chaos."

The boss behind "kitchen chaos" seemed to be very good at hyping up popularity, frequently creating buzz for the game on the official website.

He felt that this hot topic would likely remain popular for a while.

He decided to double down on "kitchen chaos," putting his all into making videos to take advantage of the opportunity and make some money.

He just never expected that only two days would pass before the popularity plummeted.

This made him very unhappy.

Once the popularity was gone, what was the point of making the videos, no matter how good they were?

But then he thought, since he had already started, he might as well finish it!

Since the game didn't have much popularity left, maybe he could change his angle and create content related to the game company instead.

He searched online and quickly found the game company behind "kitchen chaos," called Maha Game Company.

It was a new game company that had been established for less than half a year.

Seeing this, Xiang Yang was speechless.

Such a new game company—what was there to focus on?

It seemed this direction wasn't worth pursuing either.

Just as he was about to give up, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him.

Why would a newly established game company think about making a 3A masterpiece?

How could this game company have such big ambitions?

He continued digging and found the parent company of Maha Game Company: Feihuang Group.

It turned out to be a wholly-owned subsidiary under a conglomerate.

What was most surprising was that this Feihuang Group had also been established for a very short time—less than two years.

And under Feihuang Group, besides Maha Game Company, there were supermarkets, Hot Pot Restaurants, chain milk tea shops, chain restaurants, and even real estate!

This span was just too wide!

Apart from the connection between the Hot Pot Restaurants and the restaurants, milk tea, real estate, and the game company were completely unrelated industries.

What was the boss of this conglomerate thinking, to have such a massive span and engage in all these completely unrelated industries?

He went online to check the boss of this enterprise and discovered that it was actually a twenty-three-year-old young man.

Twenty-three?

Huh?

Twenty-three!

Are you kidding me!

At twenty-three, many people have only just graduated from college!

Wait, Qian Ziyong hadn't graduated from college that long ago.

Upon discovering this news, the previously listless Xiang Yang instantly came to life.

Big news!

Huge news.

He was going to go viral!

There must be more things to dig up regarding Feihuang Group.

The boss of Feihuang Group was already big news; if he kept digging into Feihuang Group, there would definitely be more explosive stories.

Compared to these stories, the news about the game "kitchen chaos" was just small potatoes!

While digging up information related to Feihuang Group online, Xiang Yang booked a train ticket.

He was going to go to Han City, the headquarters of Feihuang Group, to see for himself!

He was going to make it big; he was going to go viral!

...

On the other side, Qian Ziyong had been living very comfortably these past few days.

Especially after scrolling through short videos on his phone for a long time and not finding a single one about "kitchen chaos," he felt even more at ease.

Just when Qian Ziyong thought the game would remain lukewarm from then on.

In the afternoon, Qian Ziyong received another shocking piece of bad news.

"Boss, good news, our Feihuang has gone viral!" Bi Chengwang @ed Qian Ziyong in the group chat.

Qian Ziyong: "?"

"Our Feihuang caught fire?"

Feihuang had caught fire once before, which was quickly extinguished; that was how the boss of Yongnian Supermarket ended up in jail.

Bi Chengwang said: "No, it's that the boss's brilliant decision has made the entire Feihuang Group go viral!"

As he spoke, Bi Chengwang also sent a video into the group chat.

Qian Ziyong had a very bad premonition, and he tremblingly clicked on the video.

In the video, he saw a thirty-year-old Video Blogger who was incisively analyzing their Feihuang Group.

"Dear viewers, guess what I discovered?"

"Following the huge success of 'kitchen chaos,' I became interested in the game company behind it."

"I discovered that the game company for 'kitchen chaos' has actually been established for less than half a year."

"How could a game company established for such a short time create 'kitchen chaos,' a boutique game hailed by players as the pride of domestic production?"

"The popularity of 'kitchen chaos' is rapidly declining; it seems like someone is suppressing 'kitchen chaos' and suppressing this game company."

"At the same time, as the popularity of 'kitchen chaos' declines, information about the game company behind it has also become very difficult to dig up."

"I spent seven days, went through eighty-one tribulations, and finally uncovered a shocking secret!"

The Video Blogger's voice gradually grew louder and more excited.

One had to admit that this Video Blogger was very skilled; he fully stirred up the emotions of his audience.

The Video Blogger didn't delay, continuing: "The game company for 'kitchen chaos' is called Maha Game Company!"

"There's nothing strange about this game company; the most crucial part is that its parent company is called Feihuang Group!"

"Perhaps you all are very unfamiliar with Feihuang Group; to be honest, I am also very unfamiliar with Feihuang Group and have never heard of it before."

"Maha Game Company says it wants to invest 500 million to develop a domestic 3A game!"

"Are they just boasting, or do they truly have the strength to do it?"

"To get to the bottom of this, I inquired through various channels and even traveled thousands of miles to Han City to find the headquarters of Feihuang Group. Guess what I saw?"

"A supermarket! That's right, Feihuang Group started as a supermarket!"

"If you look down on Feihuang Group just because it started as a supermarket, then you are wrong!"

"Feihuang Supermarket has received rave reviews in Han City; even many people from Wu City have taken rides just to visit Feihuang Supermarket!"

Speaking up to this point, the Video Blogger paused and said: "Feihuang Supermarket is not the focus of what we are going to discuss today!"

"Besides Feihuang Supermarket, I have even more explosive news here, but because the video length is limited, please watch the next video. Your understanding is appreciated."
