Game Development Giant

"How about my story?"

After the appetizers and main dishes were finished, Claudia had almost finished her story. Seeing that Jester had just swallowed a piece of vanilla mousse for dessert, she asked with a smile.

Jester was silent for a while.

To be honest, the story told by the other party moved him very much. He likes his character of being the first to do things like this.

He agrees with the famous saying that only the first survives.

But now it is not a question of whether he likes it or not, but that he wants to negotiate a cooperation agreement. What he is looking for is someone who can help him establish an entire sales channel in Europe. This cannot be done solely by himself. To choose based on your likes and dislikes.

"Miss Robert." Jester thought for a long time, put down the silver knife and fork in his hand, then picked up a napkin on one side and wiped his mouth and put it aside. He looked up at the delicate face opposite, He opened his mouth and said, "The food is very good. I'm not just saying this. I believe you have investigated my family before, and you know who my grandfather is."

Then, Jester changed his voice and said: "But, Miss Robert, I'm here to talk about cooperation, not to listen to your personal stories. Although your story is very good, if you want to cooperate with me, You should know what I can bring out, the question is, what can you bring out?”

Claudia smiled after hearing this, smoothed her hair, picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the martini.

"Mr. Li, sometimes you really need to take risks. With all due respect, aren't you taking risks by investing all your money in video games?" Claudia chuckled, shaking her wrist slightly as she held the wine glass. Then, suddenly, she leaned forward, staring at Jester motionlessly, and said with the same tone, "If everyone goes into this industry, can you still have such a big return ratio?" ?”

Of course, Jester cannot directly say that making video games is not a risk, but because he knows the future prospects of this industry, and he is also good at it.

But Jester couldn't object to what the other party said was good.

After pondering for a moment, Jester's fingers subconsciously knocked on the heavy oak table, making dull sounds one after another.

Claudia stopped talking, but sat there quietly waiting for Jester's answer.

Five minutes later, Jester took a deep breath, and there was a faint scent of roses floating in the air. Jester had smelled this smell before, and it should be from the lady in front of him.

"You're right." Jester's tone was not as crisp as usual. He leaned back slightly and intertwined his fingers on the table, saying, "But please don't turn in. Please answer me at the beginning. Question, what can you offer in our collaboration?”

As he spoke, Jester's eyes became sharp and his tone became serious.

"With all due respect, what I need is a collaborator who can provide convenience for us in Europe, not a deportee like you who can no longer get help from your family."

Hearing the unpleasant words Jester said, Claudia raised her eyebrows, and the warm and angry look in her eyes flashed away.

But she still held back. She just showed a slightly sarcastic smile and said: "Mr. Li, don't you know that ten years ago in Britain, no one would think that a woman could become the leader of the country?"

Jester just smiled contemptuously after hearing this. He straightened his collar, looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, and said coldly: "Miss Robert, don't think too highly of yourself. First of all, you are not Mrs. Thatcher. Secondly, Now I just want to know what you can provide me. If your next answer is not satisfactory to me, then I can only leave. Although I am very interested in exploring the European market, you cannot impress me. .”

"Before answering this question, I would like to ask Mr. Li, do you want a publishing company of your own, or do you just want a company that just publishes your games?"

As she spoke, Claudia stood up. She was 180 centimeters tall and tall, with two white arms resting on the table. Her upper body was slightly bent down, looking down at the angle. Jester, who was still sitting in her seat, still had a mocking tone in her tone, "If you just want a company that can just publish your games, then you can go. I was wrong." Got people."

Hearing Claudia's words, Jester's expression moved, and he somewhat understood what Claudia meant.

And Claudia also knew that her words had an effect through the slight change in Jester's expression, so she continued: "To be honest, if I am now in the identity of the Robert family, or other identities of the same kind, Other people will come to talk to you. Even if we can reach a cooperation agreement, you will never be the leading party, you can only be the partner. I hope you can make this clear before you know what I can do."

Jester nodded, the other person was right.

If some giants really come to negotiate cooperation with us, even though they can get a lot of convenience when their games are released in Europe, it is not without cost. It is impossible for these giants to be willing to work for them. They have the dominant power of the company. It is inevitable that he will win. Even if he can keep it at the beginning, he may not be able to keep it in the future.

After all, he knows how much profit video games will bring him when his console comes out.

It is absolutely impossible for these people who can become giants to let go of this piece of fat.

By that time, the split of the European company, or even his expulsion, may be inevitable. This is why he has never agreed to further cooperation with Sega.

The issuing company cannot be controlled by others.

Of course, if you don’t cooperate with these powerful predators, what’s the difference between re-establishing a distribution channel yourself?

Jester thought of this, he frowned and looked up at Claudia who was looking down at him with a slightly mocking smile on her face, waiting for his reply.

"Ahem..." Jester coughed twice, pondered for a moment, and then said, "If you are starting from scratch and doing it yourself, why should I cooperate with you? Can't I just find someone to do it myself? Besides, , then again, why should I believe that you have this ability?"

Claudia straightened up. After hearing Jester's words, she first chuckled. Her face was full of confidence, and she said it again in a declarative tone, which Jester scoffed at after she had said it before. That sentence: "Mr. Li, don't you know that ten years ago in Britain, no one would think that a woman could become the leader of the country?"

This was a very arrogant statement, but when Jester looked at the extremely confident woman in front of him, he did not have the slightest thought of disobedience like before. In his feeling, this sentence matched the situation here and now. Claudia's demeanor, behavior and tone made him feel that she was stating an irrefutable fact.

"Continue." Jester only said two words.

Obviously, after Jester said these two words, a strange light flashed in Claudia's eyes. She knew that even if she didn't impress Jester, she was still off to a good start - at least he Be willing to hear yourself continue.

"My plan..." As she spoke, Claudia turned around, elegantly walked to a table on one side, and took out a thick document from the drawer. The document was covered with a light blue Folded in colored folders, the plastic translucent folders have some beautiful simple patterns printed on them.

Claudia walked to the table with the folder and handed the folder to Jester.

After Jester took it, she sat down on her seat.

"This is my plan for the European distribution company." She said directly when she saw that Jester didn't open the folder immediately after taking it.

"The folder is beautiful." Jester did not open it to look at it, but first admired the insignificant things.

"Thank you, I designed it myself." Claudia nodded in thanks. There was no abnormality in her eyes, as if she had expected this.

Jester smiled and put the folder directly on the table. He did not look at it, but looked at Claudia with some curiosity. He asked in a strange tone: "Don't rush me. I have some questions, and I want to ask, I don’t think you are a careless person, nor a stupid person, but why did you take the initiative to talk about your own experience in the first place and show weakness to the enemy? "

The corners of Claudia's mouth curled up, showing an expression that was half a smile, and she said simply: "Because I am already in a weak position."

"So..." Jester hesitated for a moment, and asked with some doubts, "Why are you so aggressive in deciding who invites this dinner? You know, as a host, this is too much. He is strong, but he does not have the strength to match his strength."

Claudia's green eyes blinked, and she said calmly: "The strength you showed before was to enhance your confidence in cooperation and make you feel that your partner is capable and trustworthy. At the same time, , and also want to test how eager you are to form a European distribution company. I think that a person who can't even give in to someone's invitation to a meal shows that this matter is not urgent for him."

"Did you show weakness after that to gain sympathy?" Jester teased with some irony.

"No." Claudia said firmly, and then she looked at Jester with a strange look, her tone became like the way she had mocked her brothers before, and said, "Is it true that in your eyes Am I a woman who relies on gaining sympathy to gain commitment from others?"

"Haha." Jester still had the same mocking tone, "I'm sorry, Miss Robert, I only know you during this dinner. As for what kind of woman you are, because I have too little contact with you, I There is no way to make a specific evaluation yet, but I am still very curious. Since you are not trying to gain sympathy, but you also said that this is a sign of weakness on your part, don't you want to explain it?"

Claudia chuckled, and asked in a strange tone: "Does Mr. Li want a partner who is cunning and deceitful, rather than an open and honest partner?"

An inexplicable light flashed across Jester's eyes when he heard these words. He took a closer look at the woman in front of him with a faint smile on her face and smelled like roses. After a few seconds of silence, he spoke suddenly.

"Let me see your plan first."

After hearing Jester's words, Claudia still had that faint, confident smile on her delicate face.
