The city's number one tycoon - Chapter 239
When he had dinner with the CEO of Tencent before, the CEO told him that the richest people in China are not the people in the public eye like them; the truly wealthy are the mysterious tycoons hidden behind the scenes.
Xu Wen now truly understood the meaning of those words. In Xu Wen's eyes, Ma Yunteng was now the mysterious tycoon hidden behind the scenes in China. Otherwise, how could he dare to play such a game?
Moreover, if Jack Ma really does this, then Tencent could challenge Alipay in a few years, considering that Jack Ma's "Collect Five Blessings" campaign only distributed 500 million yuan in red envelopes.
Meanwhile, Tencent is going to distribute more than 300 billion yuan in red envelopes. Is 500 million yuan going up against more than 300 billion yuan?
Xu Wen could almost picture Jack Ma crying himself to sleep in the bathroom!
"Mr. Ma, on behalf of Tencent WeChat, thank you!" Xu Wen knew very well that if they issued more than 300 billion this time, it would be a powerful publicity for Tencent WeChat.
"Well, it's alright. Win-win has always been the principle of my Calorie Group." Ma Yunteng paused and then continued, "By the way, when you're giving out red envelopes, please note that you should also give out five red envelopes with a value of ten million each, plus one lucky winner's red envelope. The lucky winner will directly receive one percent of the shares of my Calorie Group!"
Calorie Internet Cafe, Banana Phone, and TR Technology have been combined to form the Calorie Group. The Calorie Group already has a market value of hundreds of billions, and its future market value is unimaginable. It is conceivable that if a lucky person were to acquire one percent of the shares of the Calorie Group, they would truly be considered a lucky person!
“No problem!” Xu Wen readily agreed. “Mr. Ma, do you have any other requirements? If not, I’ll arrange for the technical department to modify the code right away!”
Upon hearing this, Ma Yunteng pondered for a moment, feeling that he hadn't considered everything comprehensively enough.
"We've distributed over 300 billion yuan, and everyone who tries to grab a red envelope can get one? That makes my money seem a bit cheap, doesn't it? While it's certainly a form of publicity for the Calorie Group, after thinking it over, I still feel it's somewhat inappropriate." So, Ma Yunteng paused and continued, "How about this... among these 500 million red envelopes, we'll also make five empty red envelopes!"
At this point, a wicked smile crept across Ma Yunteng's lips.
I've never won the lottery myself, and I often fail to grab red envelopes, so I'll just play a trick on you guys!
Actually, five empty red envelopes are nothing compared to 500 million red envelopes! You could say that with Jack Ma's 300 billion+ red envelopes, it's hard not to get some money! Just imagine how ridiculous it would be if everyone around you got at least 1000 yuan, and then someone else got an empty red envelope.
How bad must that person's character be?
"Okay! I'll arrange for someone to do it right away!"
"Yes, thank you for your hard work!" After arranging the distribution of red envelopes, Ma Yunteng returned to the living room to have dinner with his family.
The Spring Festival Gala has already started, and several people are watching it.
"Brother!" Ma Xiaomeng suddenly ran into the living room, her little face round and chubby from eating.
"Hey... New Year's money!" Ma Yunteng didn't say anything when he saw Ma Xiaomeng, he just tossed her a bank card. Ma Xiaomeng was his cousin, like a younger sister. As an elder, he had to give her some New Year's money, right?
"Ugh...no, I want colored scratch paper too!" Ma Xiaomeng pouted. Now she knew that colored scratch paper could be exchanged for lots of lollipops, and she had no idea what a bank card was!
"You silly child..." Uncle Ma Yunteng also came over, and immediately took the bank card, saying, "Quickly thank your cousin, the money in this card is worth much more than those colorful scratch papers!"
"Really?" Ma Xiaomeng blinked her glasses and asked.
"Really!" Lin Shike looked at the adorable Ma Xiaomeng and couldn't help but pick her up, sit her on the sofa, and start watching the Spring Festival Gala.
The whole family, including Ma Yunteng's uncle's family, happily ate and drank while watching the Spring Festival Gala.
"Wow, this lady sings so well! I wish she could sing for me herself!" Ma Xiaomeng kept exclaiming how beautiful the princess's singing was on TV.
"Okay. Then I'll have her sing it for you herself!" Seeing that his cousin didn't like listening to children's songs but preferred listening to Faye Wong sing, Ma Yunteng smiled wryly and then took out his phone to make a call to Zhao Peng.
Even a superstar like Faye Wong should still be able to get someone to respond!
After receiving the call, Zhao Peng quickly used all his connections to contact Wang Fei.
Five minutes later, Ma Yunteng's phone rang. Instead of answering it, Ma Yunteng handed the phone directly to Ma Xiaomeng and said, "Hurry up and answer it, your favorite singer is going to sing for you!"
With her big, bright eyes wide open, Ma Xiaomeng took the phone in disbelief, then smiled like a happy little princess! The voice coming from the phone was the same one she had just heard on TV!
"Yun Teng, Xiao Meng is still young. We can't spoil her like this, or she'll become spoiled." Ma Xiao Meng's uncle said politely. First of all, the bank card he just gave her was supposedly for New Year's money. But how could he not see that even if Ma Xiao Meng got married in the future, she probably wouldn't be able to spend all the money in that card?
That's not all. Ma Xiaomeng insisted on hearing Faye Wong sing for her, so Ma Yunteng immediately sent someone to contact Faye Wong. In less than five minutes, Faye Wong personally called and sang for Ma Xiaomeng.
They are indeed spoiled too much!
"Okay, I understand, Uncle. But girls should still be raised in luxury!" Ma Yunteng believed that girls must be raised in luxury. If he had such a lovely daughter in the future, he would not hesitate to pluck the stars from the sky and give them to her!
As soon as Ma Yunteng finished speaking, Ma Xiaomeng immediately seized the opportunity and earnestly shouted, "Brother! I want the stars in the sky!"
In Ma Xiaomeng's heart, her older brother is simply a god!
"Uh..." Ma Yunteng was speechless!
"Then think about it." Ma Yunteng laughed. Ma Xiaomeng was stunned when she heard this, then realized what he meant and pouted, wanting to kill Ma Yunteng with her eyes.
Seeing how adorable he was, everyone teased him, and the family enjoyed watching the Spring Festival Gala together.
"Brother Teng, have you collected all five blessings yet? It's about to open!" Li Xiyue and Lin Shike had both collected all five blessings, and they even had several extra of the most difficult ones, the Dedication Blessing and the Patriotism Blessing.
"Five Fortunes?" Ma Yunteng chuckled: "What era are we living in? Who still plays Five Fortunes? You can only win a few cents at most. You should check out Tencent Red Packets!"

Chapter 163 I quit! [Second update!]
"Penguin red envelopes?" My cousin was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Brother Teng, you're kidding, right? When has Tencent ever done a losing business? How could they possibly give us red envelopes!"
My cousin plays games all the time and knows how diverse Tencent's money-making methods are. How could they so easily give out red envelopes to the people of the whole country? Impossible.
"Yeah, just click on it and you'll know."
Everyone immediately opened their WeChat Wallet as if by magic and found the New Year's greeting red envelope section.
"My God... a thousand yuan? I got a thousand yuan!" My cousin couldn't help but exclaim. This was too unbelievable. He had tried to grab all kinds of red envelopes from Tencent, but he could never get any. But now he actually got a thousand yuan!
"Mine...mine is also a thousand yuan!" Li Xiyue exclaimed in surprise.
