“Here we go! Cheers!”

Jasper and Hudson clinked their wine glasses in midair.

On the morning of the second day after receiving the good news, Hudson— representing Terizone Inc.—officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the Waterhoof City branch of ICBC.

Hudson leaned toward Jasper and said with great enthusiasm, “Are online games really so lucrative? We’ve done so many promotions during this period—if things don’t work out, we’ll be a laughing stock in everyone’s eyes.”

Jasper responded, grinning, “This is an absolute 100 billion-grade blue ocean market; its potential just hasn’t been fully realized yet.

“United Legends will be our stepping stone to success!”

Hudson had complete confidence in Jasper’s discerning eye. When he heard Jasper’s comment, he immediately inquired eagerly, “Do you think Terizone could do it?”

Hearing this, Jasper immediately recalled his past life. Domestic gamers had described Terizone games through an ad slogan, “No cash, no chance.”

With a light laugh, Jasper answered, “It’s doable. Once United Legends becomes a hit, we’ll talk.”

The domestic online gaming market was undoubtedly a large one, with a market value of over 100 billion dollars. It was absolutely impossible for a single company to monopolize it.

This was the consensus Jasper and Malcolm Malibu had reached after communicating with each other.

They decided to follow Procter & Gamble’s example by establishing more sub-brands.
