I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 596 - 594: Did They Even Deserve the Face?

"Hello, I'm Zhou Zishu." The middle-aged man called Zhou Zishu raised his hand.

"Here's your express package, please sign for it."

"Oh, thank you," Zhou Zishu took the box, "I don't seem to have bought anything for the company recently?"

Zhou Zishu unboxed it, revealing a thick stack of documents encased in an envelope, which bore the logos of both Tengxun and Wangyi, as well as an icon for "Operation Thunderstruck."

"Could it be..."

He eagerly tore open the box, and there it was, a property transfer agreement right before his eyes, and a smaller envelope besides.

He opened the envelope and instinctively began to read aloud.

Mr. Zhou Zishu:

Congratulations on being the first to collect 999 of Michel's mothers in "Operation Thunderstruck." According to the game's rules, you may choose one of the following prizes:

A villa worth 50 million: 1/1

A large flat worth 20 million: 10/10

A property worth 5 million: 50/50

A sports car worth 2 million: 100/100

Any car model worth within 1 million: 500/500

Note: All prizes can also be directly exchanged for equivalent cash.

"Fuck!" Zhou Zishu couldn't help but exclaim excitedly.

"Zhou Zishu, what are you doing? Do you want me to add a couple of lines to your employment termination agreement?" Claro came over, cursing and swearing.

"Sorry, boss, I'm not serving here anymore, write whatever you want!" Zhou Zishu threw the signed agreement at Claro.

"Zhou Zishu, you always bend the rules, even if you want to resign, you need to go through a month of work handover, the project isn't finished yet, you can't leave!" Claro said, arrogantly.

"I know, it's just a penalty, I'll pay it!"

Zhou Zishu was a middle-aged man, nearing 40, and in fact, people like him had little competitive edge in the workplace anymore, his salary had not been raised for a long time, but the company had kept him because his work ability was still acceptable.

As Claro knew, Zhou Zishu still had over a decade's worth of loans to repay, struggling with a 13,000 monthly mortgage while his income was only 18,000 per month.

If he broke the agreement and resigned immediately, he would not only lose three months' salary in compensation, but also have to pay two months' salary as a penalty.

"Zhou Zishu, do you realize what you're doing? Two months' salary is 36,000, do you think your family can afford this kind of expense now?"

"You don't need to worry about that!" The current Zhou Zishu, now the owner of 50 million in assets, didn't even blink at the sum of 36,000.

He slapped the agreement on Claro's face, "Listen up, I'm leaving now, and no one can stop me! You idiot!"

After saying that, Zhou Zishu strutted out of the office, "Guys, why keep working? Hurry up and play the game, collect Michel's mothers! Hahaha!"

...

"He... I got it, his prize got fulfilled!"

"Fuck! For real?"

"Now I know why he had such courage, if I had 50 million, I'd have fired that bastard Claro on the spot too!"

"Lemon tree above, lemons hang, under the lemon tree you and I stand, I'm soured."

"I'm soured too!"

...

"Fuck! It got fulfilled, really fulfilled!"

"Do you guys know? A colleague of mine collected 999 Michel's moms and actually got a large flat in exchange, and he said it could even be converted into cash!"

"Someone just had a Ferrari delivered right to our company's doorstep for an intern who just graduated; I was shocked!"

"President Zhang is just President Zhang, so straightforward. This must be the pleasure of the wealthy!"

Gradually, more and more people gathered 999 Michel's moms. At first, some thought it might be a setup, but they slowly realized that even people around them were becoming these lucky individuals, some of them even becoming the fortunate ones themselves.

This caused the game's reputation to surge once again, player activity skyrocketed, and downloads became terrifyingly high.

In the first month, the game shockingly reached 32 million downloads.

Though the game was of high quality, it required a computer, which was far less convenient than mobile devices, so players began shifting their focus to the mobile versions.

A month into game operation, Tengxun Games and Wang Yi Games announced that the mobile version would be immediately released and asked all players to please wait patiently!

...

However, a week passed, and although the game app appeared on the Android market, there was still no sign of "Mie Lei Action" on the Cashew Store, and iOS users had already started cursively their dismay.

"@Ma Hua@Ding Sanshi what's going on? Why hasn't it launched yet?" Zhang Menglong posted a message in the group chat of the three. According to their plan, the mobile app should have been launched a week ago.

"Can't explain in a sentence or two, let's have a video conference!"

Zhang Menglong realized that there might be some issues.

"F**k! What's going on with you two?" Two people with dark circles appeared in front of the camera, showing obvious fatigue, both Ma Hua and Ding Sanshi.

"Don't even mention it, these past few days have been suffocating us!" Ding Sanshi complained, "Do you know how disgusting this damn Cashew store is?"

"How disgusting?"

"They do not allow our Huaxia games to enter!"

"Are they stupid or what? Passing up money?" Zhang Menglong cursed outright.

"Of course they're not stupid; they just want too high a price!" Ma Hua said, "People from Cashew said that everyone is now boycotting our Huaxia games, and once the app goes online, it will likely cause much dissatisfaction and could possibly harm their reputation."

"Normally, we have to give a 30% revenue share as a technology service fee to the service platform, and for certain small and microenterprise products it's even as low as 15%, do you know how greedy they are?"

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on freeweɓnøvel.com.

"How greedy?" Zhang Menglong asked.

"They actually want a 70% technology service fee; isn't this robbery?"

"What? They want 70%?"

Zhang Menglong was of course aware of how much added value these games brought. Once converted into an app, the monthly turnover would likely be in millions of US dollars or more. He could understand Cashew wanting a higher share.

But 70% was exorbitant; it was almost like they were working for the Americans.

"What are they even thinking?"

"We obviously refused!" Ma Hua stated, "But you know, the players are too enthusiastic right now. In order to stabilize their emotions, we've been doing public relations for a week, so we've ended up like this."

"It really must have been tough on you," Zhang Menglong could imagine the kind of pressure they were under. No one could withstand it.

"So do we have no other app markets to consider now?" Zhang Menglong asked.

"President Zhang, as you very well know, although the reputation of domestic phones is improving, Cashew phones are still the mainstream in the market. It's possible to download through other means, but those avenues are, strictly speaking, illegal."

"So what you're saying is, either stay out of the Cashew app store or give them 70% of the revenue?"

"Exactly, that's what they mean."

"That's utter nonsense, giving them a platform is already giving them face!"

"But we can't just not use the Cashew store, right?"

"Of course, we still need to use it," Zhang Menglong sighed, aware of the long road ahead in achieving mobile domestication, "but to get them to loosen up, I have a thousand ways. Since we've caused a stir, let's not hesitate to stir up Cashew as well!"
