Chapter 233: Chapter 233 Homeowners Gathering_1

Dongyan Games couldn’t rely solely on the game "Survival of the Fittest"; they had to develop their own games.

Only by truly developing their own hit games could they break through in the industry.

The premise of developing a hit game, of course, was talent.

Penguin Games had secured their dominant position in the gaming industry by recruiting a lot of talent with high salaries.

Dongyan Games had only brought in the team from Fengyun Studio and poached two core talents from Penguin Games, but they still needed more talents to join.

At the beginning of its establishment, Shen Dong instructed Jia Tongsheng to release recruitment ads; they were recruiting talents with high salaries.

His goal was for Dongyan Games to become a leader in the gaming industry, even if it couldn’t reach the heights of Penguin Games.

When it came to game production materials, there was absolutely no need to worry.

The rights to many famous online novels had been bought by the Lixing Company.

For example, the rights to phenomenon-level novels like "Douluo," "Cultivation," and "God-King" were all in the hands of the Lixing Company.

The fan base for these novels was very large.

Developing them into games, there was no concern about the lack of players.

Shen Dong specifically instructed Lu Xingzhou not to sell these novels’ rights because he wanted to keep them for Dongyan Games to develop and produce games.

As long as the game wasn’t too bad, it was basically guaranteed to make money.

Now, Dongyan Games lacked nothing but talent.

There was no helping it; Dongyan Games hadn’t been established for very long.

In this regard, you can’t rush things.

Whether it’s individuals or companies, growth requires time.

"Mr. Shen, we have already recruited a batch of graduates who majored in game development. They are full of ideas and have the strength, but they lack work experience, which requires time to grow. As for poaching talent, we haven’t had much success," Jia Tongsheng said.

"As for the recruited graduates, have the people from Fengyun Studio mentor them more. Regarding poaching talents, if we can do it, we’ll do it; there’s no need to force it too much," Shen Dong said.

The gaming company’s treatment was excellent; unless some talented people were not valued or someone had some irresistible reasons to find a way out, very few would switch jobs.

It was just like the two people who had been poached from Penguin Games; although they were also core personnel of Penguin Games, many of their ideas were always rejected by their leaders, which left them frustrated and willing to join Dongyan Games.

As for Fengyun Studio, they did not want to be integrated by Penguin Games and hoped to preserve their own studio and creation, so they left Penguin Games.

If such talent could be poached, it was best, but if not, there was no need to force it.

He believed that the growth of Dongyan Games was only a matter of time.

Leaving Dongyan Games, Shen Dong went to Dongyan Investment.

There were no problems there; after chatting with Luo Cheng’an for a while, he left.

...

At six in the evening.

Shen Dong drove to a manor in the outskirts.

The Century Garden homeowner’s meeting was held here.

This manor belonged to an invisible tycoon in Hai City.

Originally, the tycoon had bought it intending to live there himself, but after going abroad, he handed it over to someone to manage, making it available for rent.

Many large-scale banquets and gatherings organized by the circle of tycoons were chosen to be held here.

The property management company had really put in a lot of effort to serve these homeowners well.

In the past, these events were held at luxury hotels, but this year they were held here.

Hosting it at a luxury hotel was much cheaper than doing it here.

In the manor, tables and chairs had already been arranged, and there were many beverages and snacks on the tables.

Quite a few homeowners had already arrived, holding wine glasses, chatting in groups of threes and fours, all smiling and laughing.

The homeowners of Century Garden were no ordinary people, and many were keen to attend such gatherings, as it was a great opportunity to expand their networks.

Waiters continuously weaved among the guests, providing services.

"Mr. Shen, Mrs. Shen."

Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan walked in and were immediately greeted by a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes.

It was Tao Guohao, the manager of the property company.

Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan had met Tao Guohao when they moved into Century Garden; it was Tao Guohao who delivered their property title to their door.

There was also a middle-aged man of around fifty following behind Tao Guohao.

"Manager Tao," Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan responded with a nod and a smile.

"Mr. Shen, Mrs. Shen, let me introduce you," Tao began, "this is Zheng Leshan, the chairman of Changsheng Property."

"Mr. Shen, Mrs. Shen, hello," Zheng Leshan quickly greeted.

"Chairman Zheng, hello," Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan nodded in response.

Changsheng Property was a well-known property management company nationwide.

What Shen Dong had not expected was that the owner himself would attend this gathering of Century Garden residents.

"Mr. Shen, I’ve long admired your reputation and have been wanting to meet you; today, I finally have the chance."

Zheng Leshan knew of Shen Dong and held him in high regard.

Shen Dong was so young, yet he already had a net worth of tens of billions.

Even the owner of this property management company felt slightly inferior.

It could be said that Shen Dong’s future was limitless.

Being on good terms with someone like Shen Dong could only bring benefits, not harm.

One could say that the main reason he had come today was to get to know Shen Dong.

"Chairman Zheng, you’re too kind," Shen Dong said with a smile.

At that moment, an elegant woman in a blue dress approached with a wine glass in hand, and Zheng Leshan immediately introduced her: "Mr. Shen, Mrs. Shen, this is my wife, Wang Lan."

"Hello," Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan greeted her with smiles and nods.

It was evident that Wang Lan was a woman who knew how to take good care of herself.

Though she was actually in her forties, she looked to be only in her thirties, and her overall condition was very good.

"Hello," Wang Lan said with a smile.

After a brief exchange, Zheng Leshan said, "Mr. Shen, I was just chatting with Mr. Zhang, Mr. Cheng, and Mr. Ge, and we talked about you. They all want to meet you. May I take you over to meet them?"

"Certainly," Shen Dong nodded.

He had attended the gathering for the purpose of expanding his social network.

The people Zheng Leshan mentioned were likely the wealthy individuals who had bought other large flats.

Chen Yuyan did not follow along.

Clearly, when Shen Dong accompanied Zheng Leshan, it was to discuss business matters.

It was not appropriate for women to join in at such times.

Moreover, women have their own social circles.

Wang Lan took Chen Yuyan to her circle.

There were quite a few women at the event, all of them relations of the homeowners, some wives, some daughters.

Shen Dong followed Zheng Leshan.

On the way, he asked Zheng Leshan who the people he mentioned were.

Finding out their identities was somewhat surprising to him.

These three were all no ordinary people.

Having arrived at the destination.

A middle-aged man in a Polo shirt extended his hand to Shen Dong with a smile and enthusiasm, saying, "Mr. Shen, I am very pleased to meet you."

"Mr. Zhang, I didn’t know we lived in the same community; had I known, I would have made it a point to visit you," Shen Dong replied.

This Mr. Zhang Xuansong was the chairman of Yonghui Group.

His company operated a nationwide supermarket chain called Yonghui Supermarket, present in major cities across the country.

Shen Dong then shook hands with the other two.

These two were also significant figures, one being Cheng Dejun, the chairman of Shengtong Express, and the other Ge Rui, the chairman of Anmei Insurance Company.

Anmei Insurance Company was the very company where Chen Yuyan’s uncle worked.
