This question stumped Nie Yunsheng.

Damn it, he knew the livestreaming platform matter wouldn’t be so easy!

The reason he had been vague was that he wanted to gloss over this issue as much as possible, but he hadn’t expected Zhu Yan to be so shrewd. He was an old fox too, impossible to fool.

Nie Yunsheng hadn’t lied; they had indeed persuaded Yayi Livestreaming to join the Anti-Tenda Alliance.

This way, the Anti-Tenda Alliance included Wolf Fang Livestreaming and Yayi Livestreaming, two platforms with extremely high market shares. When facing Rabbit Tail Livestreaming, they would at least have a comparative advantage in this field.

On the surface, this was indeed a great thing.

But the problem was… neither of these platforms was willing to make the first move!

Although this alliance had given both Yayi Livestreaming and Wolf Fang Livestreaming hope of defeating Rabbit Tail Livestreaming, the two were also competitors! Their previous cash-burning war had been brutal, generating a lot of animosity.

This hostility couldn’t be eliminated so easily.

Now, although they had both been brought into the Anti-Tenda Alliance by Nie Yunsheng on the surface, neither wanted to fire the first shot.

They were afraid of being used as pawns, only to be betrayed by the other later.

Moreover, there was a crucial factor: for both livestreaming platforms, gaming content made up a significant portion of their business.

Their feelings toward Tenda were complicated.

On one hand, they didn’t dare offend Tenda too much and didn’t want to be the first to stick their necks out. What if Tenda banned these two platforms from streaming Tenda games? Were they supposed to let all those GOG streamers starve?

Of course, Tenda had never done such a thing before, but what if they were pushed too far? It was hard to say.

On the other hand, they were also afraid of Rabbit Tail Livestreaming, as its connections with Tenda games were becoming increasingly close. There was no guarantee that someday in the future, as these two platforms were fighting each other, Rabbit Tail Livestreaming might suddenly ambush them both for a double kill.

It was contradictory.

So this time, although these two platforms appeared powerful, they were still hesitating, not fully committed.

Yayi Livestreaming said they would follow if Wolf Fang Livestreaming went first; conversely, Wolf Fang Livestreaming felt that Yayi Livestreaming should take the lead.

This was quite awkward.

As the saying goes, great rewards bring forth brave men, but who would offer these rewards?

The Anti-Tenda Alliance was a relatively loose coalition, and Nie Yunsheng couldn’t possibly pay out of his own pocket, could he?

In specific fields, it would naturally be the companies in those fields that would have to provide the money, people, and solutions.

The battle plan was “everyone attack Tenda together,” but where to start the attack, who goes first, how many resources to commit, how far to push—these questions had never had definitive answers, and each company had different ideas.

Nie Yunsheng was also helpless, but he had no better solutions, so he laughed it off: “Alright, I’ll go communicate with Yayi Livestreaming again to see if we can establish rules that satisfy both parties. Then you can take action together and poach streamers from Rabbit Tail Livestreaming!”

Zhu Yan nodded slightly: “Thank you for your efforts, President Nie.”

In truth, he wasn’t particularly optimistic about the Anti-Tenda Alliance. Based on his experience dealing with Rabbit Tail Livestreaming, Tenda Group’s strength might far exceed what the outside world imagined.

This strength wasn’t about how much money Tenda had or how many industries it spanned, but rather…

Tenda Group always seemed to break conventions—you could never predict their next move!

Not only that, Tenda Group was an anomaly, with a business model completely different from other companies, even incompatible, and its reputation was stellar.

Being at odds with Tenda was indeed a rather dangerous thing to do, as one could easily be severely criticized.

But he also knew something had to be done, otherwise, by the time Rabbit Tail Livestreaming declared war on the other two livestreaming platforms, it would be too late.

Since someone was taking the lead, they would take it one step at a time.

Zhu Yan suddenly thought of something else: “By the way, President Nie, for the crucial game and film sectors… have you found heavyweight partners?”

Nie Yunsheng didn’t conceal anything and responded: “The film sector is easier; several film companies, including Fanqi Media, have already agreed to cooperate with us. Fanqi Media in particular—President Lu Xiaoping’s attitude is very determined. He even promised to fund a film specifically to help us win this public opinion battle.”

“As for the gaming sector, things are also going fairly well. Several gaming platforms have already joined us, so our channel strength is more than sufficient.”

“Although we couldn’t secure the recently outstanding and rapidly developing emerging gaming platform, Morning Dew Gaming Platform, our current channel strength is about enough.”

“The only issue is that our content strength is relatively weak.”

Zhu Yan had an impression of Fanqi Media.

Back then, Fanqi Media’s imported blockbuster “Fury of the Sea Battleship” had clashed with “Mission and Choice” at the box office. They mistakenly believed that “Mission and Choice” changed its release date out of fear and aggressively marketed against it, only to face backlash, not only losing money but also being severely criticized.

Regarding this matter, Fanqi Media surely harbored resentment.

However, previously, every film from Fei Huang Studio had been a hit, so Fanqi Media couldn’t find a suitable opportunity and could only express impotent rage.

Now, having joined the Anti-Tenda Alliance and found so many allies, they were naturally eager to play the role of vanguard.

Moreover, Fanqi Media wasn’t just involved in distribution; they also controlled resources and could produce films.

If they could actually make a film that garnered significant box office success, it would be of enormous help in winning the public opinion battle against Tenda.

The reason Zhu Yan specifically asked about the game and film aspects was because these were Tenda’s crucial foundational businesses, capable of generating enormous public influence.

If these two tough nuts couldn’t be cracked, the chances of victory would be slim.

Fortunately, Nie Yunsheng was also well aware of this and had been making arrangements.

It was just that progress in the gaming sector wasn’t particularly smooth. Currently, they had only found some channel partners, or in other words, various gaming platforms.

Official gaming platforms certainly wouldn’t get involved in such matters, but it was a bit unfortunate that they couldn’t bring in the recently emerging Morning Dew Gaming Platform.

Additionally, it was regrettable that they couldn’t find any capable game development companies to get involved.

Having only gaming channels clearly wasn’t enough influence. Gaming channels could ultimately only provide aid in difficult times, not add flowers to brocade; they could promote decent games but couldn’t create exceptional game content out of nothing.

And Tenda’s game development capability was absolutely its greatest strength.

Nie Yunsheng didn’t hope to find a game development company on par with Tenda—that was completely unrealistic. But at least finding a company with strength to join this alliance would improve their chances of success.

Otherwise, when Tenda seized on this weakness and attacked relentlessly, and they had no way to counter, the situation could become unmanageable.

Just then, Nie Yunsheng’s phone vibrated, receiving a new message.

Nie Yunsheng initially paid no attention, but after seeing the content of the message, his face immediately lit up with joy.

“President Zhu, we’ve found it! We’ve found a suitable game development company!”

Zhu Yan couldn’t help feeling some delight, raising an eyebrow: “Oh? Which company?”

A large portion of Wolf Fang Livestreaming’s business was game streaming, so they were also very attentive to excellent original games.

Nie Yunsheng looked somewhat proud: “I had previously sent people to search for promising game developers in China, hoping to bring them in to strengthen our team. Where there’s a will, there’s a way, and we’ve finally found one!”

“This is a game company in Jingzhou that previously developed a mobile game called ‘Edge of Empire.'”

Zhu Yan frowned slightly: “A mobile game?”

Obviously, although mobile games were quite profitable, they were still no match for Tenda.

Nie Yunsheng continued: “Let me finish, President Zhu. They did develop a mobile game before, but now they’re working on a AAA single-player game!”

“From the information I’ve gathered, the quality of this game is quite impressive, not inferior to various major works from Tenda! Of course, the game is still in the development stage, and it’s still some time away from official release.”

“But this actually gives us an opportunity! If the game had already been completed, it would probably be impossible for us to get involved. Since it’s not yet finished, they must be relatively tight on funds. If we extend a helping hand at this time, I believe no one would refuse.”

Zhu Yan thought for a moment: “It sounds good. But… this company is in Jingzhou. It wouldn’t happen to have connections with Tenda, would it?”

Nie Yunsheng said: “From what we can tell, it shouldn’t!”

“This company seems to have close ties with Morning Dew Gaming Platform, but Morning Dew… should not have much connection with Tenda.”

“Put yourself in their shoes—if this company had close ties with Tenda or had received investment from Tenda, they would have definitely come out promoting under Mr. Pei’s banner. How could they remain so low-profile for so long?”

Zhu Yan nodded slightly, seeing the logic.

They certainly couldn’t declare that a certain company had absolutely no connection with Tenda, but they could think about it conversely: if they had already received Tenda’s investment, they would surely publicize it extensively, so why would they keep it hidden?

When Tianhua Studio and Longyu Group reached a cooperation agreement with Tenda to jointly develop “Bullet Hole 2,” the marketing plan came out not long after, and they began building anticipation early.

The effect was indeed very good, making the game a new blockbuster this year.

Now that Mr. Pei was a golden signboard, when domestic game companies developed new games, as long as they displayed Mr. Pei and Tenda’s banner, they would immediately gain extensive attention.

Yet this company hadn’t mentioned it at all… so most likely, they truly had no connection with Tenda.

Zhu Yan asked: “What’s the name of the game this company is developing?”

Nie Yunsheng: “Millet Separation!”

“I’ll immediately have someone arrange a trip to Jingzhou to try to meet with the owner of this company and bring together some investment companies, aiming to pull them to our side!”

“And incidentally, we can also visit Morning Dew Gaming Platform in person.”

“Although they refused before, perhaps the situation might change if we visit in person?”
