Chapter 376 - 182: Lu Mingzhe Wants to Sell Shares to Chen Mo?

Chapter 376: Chapter 182: Lu Mingzhe Wants to Sell Shares to Chen Mo?

After listening, everyone contemplated whether the rules Jiang Huiyang had described were good or bad.

"I think we could add rules for regional competition and a leaderboard."

Just then, an interesting idea seemed to spark in Chen Mo’s mind.

"Regional competition and a leaderboard?"

Hearing this, Jiang Huiyang looked at Chen Mo with curiosity.

"Players are automatically assigned to a group based on their province. When they clear a level, they earn points for that province."

"And we’ll have a real-time leaderboard to foster a sense of collective honor."

Chen Mo smiled slightly and explained his idea.

Ever since websites started displaying users’ IP locations, people’s sense of regional pride seems to have gotten much stronger.

If they could leverage that sense of collective honor in this game, it might produce some excellent results.

"Brilliant! President Chen, that idea is absolutely genius!"

After hearing Chen Mo’s idea, Jiang Huiyang was so excited he couldn’t help but applaud.

’This is a truly genius idea.’

He understood Chen Mo’s intention almost instantly: use the players’ sense of collective honor to ignite their passion for playing the game and climbing the ranks.

It was just like when the country was competing with a foreign nation on some ranking list; everyone would undoubtedly chip in without a second thought.

The same principle applied domestically, just divided by province.

He could already picture the heated battles that would erupt after the game’s launch, with everyone fighting for their province’s rank on the leaderboard.

’If my province’s score gets surpassed, I’ll have to fight to get the top spot back immediately, right?’

To get it back, you have to keep playing. To keep playing, you have to watch ads or share links to get more chances.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Chen Mo’s stroke of genius had just significantly boosted the game’s chances of success.

"That’s a great idea!"

Upon hearing it, the others in the meeting room also smiled and nodded in happy agreement.

Whether it was actually a good idea or not didn’t matter; since Chen Mo proposed it, it was a good idea.

Besides, everyone genuinely thought Chen Mo’s idea was fantastic.

"I agree with adding the leaderboard feature."

A glimmer of hope reappeared in Xu Xiyue’s beautiful eyes. She felt Chen Mo’s idea truly had the Midas touch.

She hadn’t held out much hope for this game initially, but now she felt it might actually have a chance of succeeding.

"How long will it take to implement?"

Chen Mo smiled and asked Jiang Huiyang.

"That part’s easy. It won’t even take a full day."

With an excited shake of his head, Jiang Huiyang indicated it would be ready in no time.

"Alright then. Let’s launch with that."

Chen Mo nodded in understanding at Jiang Huiyang.

"Yes, President Chen! We will definitely make this project a success!"

His confidence restored, Jiang Huiyang guaranteed it to Chen Mo with newfound conviction.

"Go for it."

Chen Mo smiled at him, offering a word of encouragement.

He knew better than anyone whether this project would succeed or not.

But he still had to offer encouragement where it was due.

Afterwards, after discussing a few more details in the conference room, Jiang Huiyang’s team quickly returned to their work.

Chen Mo, on the other hand, drove to a mall to buy some gifts.

’Can’t show up at someone’s home for the first time empty-handed.’

He browsed the mall and bought some toys for Lu Mingzhe’s son.

He also bought some health supplements for Lu Mingzhe’s parents.

’Doesn’t matter if they work or not, this is the kind of thing you get for elders on your first visit.’

After he was done shopping, he placed the gifts and toys in the front trunk.

After work in the afternoon, Chen Mo picked up Xu Xiyue and drove toward Lu Mingzhe’s house.

He had never been to Lu Mingzhe’s home before, but Lu Mingzhe had sent him the location.

It was located at Gubei No.1, a top-tier luxury residence in Modu.

Moreover, Lu Mingzhe had called the building management, so the security guard immediately raised the barrier gate upon seeing his car approach.

The guard then led the way, guiding him to the Lu Family’s spot in the underground garage.

Gubei No.1 was truly a top-tier luxury residence; the parking space ratio was 1:3.

That meant every apartment came with three dedicated parking spots.

They must have known Chen Mo was coming, as they had specifically saved a spot for him to park.

He had just gotten out of the car and was getting the gifts from the frunk with Xu Xiyue when he saw Lu Mingzhe coming out to greet him personally.

"Chen Mo, you’re here! Come on in."

"And this must be your girlfriend, right? A true beauty."

Lu Mingzhe welcomed Chen Mo with a smile, and couldn’t help but add a compliment after seeing Xu Xiyue.

’No wonder Chen Mo was willing to buy an entire venture capital firm just for her.’

But saying something like that would have been impolite, so he only praised Xu Xiyue’s appearance.

Chen Mo, never one for formalities, followed him inside.

"Thank you, President Lu."

Xu Xiyue, however, thanked Lu Mingzhe very formally.

On the way over, she had just learned from Chen Mo that the VIP treating him to dinner tonight was none other than Lu Mingzhe!

Lu Mingzhe had been all over the news since last Saturday, so she knew who he was: the founder and President of Chaolu Technology.

’A tycoon worth tens of billions is treating Chen Mo to dinner. Their relationship must be something special.’

"Don’t be so formal."

Lu Mingzhe smiled and waved his hand dismissively, leading them into the elevator and up to his home.

When Zhao Wan saw them at the door, she also came up warmly to exchange a few pleasantries.

Of course, the couple both found themselves praising Xu Xiyue’s beauty.

Especially Zhao Wan; she couldn’t help but steal a few more glances at Xu Xiyue’s prominent chest, feeling a secret pang of envy.

’That’s a gift few women could see and not feel envious of.’

"Oh, Xiaochen, we’re so grateful to you for what you did for our Xuanxuan last time..."

Upon seeing Chen Mo, the elders of the house immediately began thanking him with expressions full of gratitude.

Their grandson had gone missing, and the old couple had been worried sick.

Thankfully, Chen Mo had found a trace of Xuanxuan in time, allowing them to find their grandson as quickly as possible.

In the eyes of the old couple, Chen Mo was their family’s great benefactor.

"You’re both too kind. That was a long time ago, I’d almost forgotten about it. Let’s not talk about the past."

"It’s my first time visiting, so the gifts are a bit modest. Please don’t mind."

Chen Mo quickly smiled and waved his hands, then presented the health supplements he had bought to the old couple.

"You came all this way, you shouldn’t have bought anything... what a waste of money..."

After a round of pleasantries, Chen Mo and Xu Xiyue were led into the living room.

Over here, they saw Lu Mingzhe’s son, Xuanxuan, watching *Boonie Bears*. He seemed to have better manners now while watching TV, no longer jumping around.

"Xuanxuan, here are some toys for you."

Chen Mo smiled and gave him the toys he had bought.

"Thank you, Uncle!"

Xuanxuan gave Chen Mo a strange look, but he still obediently took the gift and thanked him earnestly.

He knew that if this uncle hadn’t made that phone call back then, he could have had a few more days of fun outside.

’Unfortunately, a single phone call had ruined his wonderful life.’

"Xiyue, come sit over here. Let’s chat."

Just then, Zhao Wan pulled Xu Xiyue aside to chat with her.

Xu Xiyue knew that Lu Mingzhe must have something to discuss with Chen Mo.

Sure enough, Lu Mingzhe soon led Chen Mo into the study.

The two sat facing each other at a tea table, and Lu Mingzhe poured Chen Mo a cup of tea that gave off a faint, fragrant aroma.

"Chen Mo, our company’s successful bid this time was all thanks to your tip. You were the key to our success!"

"To thank you, I plan to sell you some shares in Chaolu Technology!"

After taking a sip of tea, Lu Mingzhe cut to the chase and revealed the big surprise he had prepared for Chen Mo.

"What?"

Hearing this, Chen Mo looked at Lu Mingzhe in utter astonishment, wondering if his ears were deceiving him.

Chaolu Technology had already become the undisputed leader in its field; its valuation was definitely soaring.

Once it went public, its stock price would skyrocket.

You have to understand, Chaolu Technology was going to list on the STAR Market, where there are no price limits on the first day of trading.

With Chaolu Technology’s current leading position and market share,

it was possible for the stock to rise over 100% on its first day of listing!

For Lu Mingzhe to be willing to sell him shares now was like manna from heaven!

It was an absolutely massive surprise, far beyond his wildest imagination!

PS: I’m feeling really under the weather, I’ve got an upper respiratory infection. Running a fever of 39.6°C, dizzy, and exhausted, so I’m only releasing one Chapter today. I’ll get back on schedule once I’m better. Sorry about that.
