"Hello, we are the business negotiation team of Yunwei Group in the United States. This is our vice president, Mr. Charlie Petain."
Wednesday.
Neon Osaka.
Phoenix Engine Development Co., Ltd.
The blond secretary spoke fluent Japanese and said to the receptionist at the front desk:
"Last Friday we made an appointment with the vice president of Nagashima to meet today."
For business negotiations, we made an appointment in advance and everything was in line with the process.
Originally, a team like the Yunwei Business Group that could conduct business negotiations with the president should be treated politely by the front desk, and then immediately go to notify the president and make a good introduction.
But today, I don’t know why.
After hearing the intention of Petain and his party, the receptionist who was responsible for welcoming him was a little hesitant:
"Uh...oh...oh...oh...that's it..."
A slightly stiff smile appeared on the front desk's face.
Not only was it a little hesitant, it was even a little embarrassing.
"Any questions?"
Seeing this, Petain frowned slightly.
Secretly, what are the qualities of this front desk person?
It's obviously a normal business process, why do you look so reluctant?
The secretary and translator beside him also translated Petain's questions.
"Ah...ah! No, no!"
Hearing this, the Sakura girl who was responsible for the reception quickly waved her hands and bowed repeatedly:
"Private Marseille! Private Marseille! I'm sorry for confusing you!"
"That's it. President Nagashima is currently in a meeting. Please come to the VIP room and wait for a while!"
Hi--
Hearing the explanation at the front desk, Bei Dan rolled his eyes.
It turns out that it was just because I didn’t have time for the impromptu meeting that it made me so nervous.
It is very normal for business negotiations to be delayed due to temporary matters.
Although Vice President Petain, who is highly regarded as Yunwei, rarely has this kind of experience of waiting for others. Generally speaking, others are waiting for him.
But come to think of it, Phoenix is not a group owned by Vivendi, and it doesn't point to their Yunwei company for food. This kind of ordinary attitude is normal.
Then just wait!
Although Pétain was a little uncomfortable, he didn't say anything.
But unexpectedly!
They waited for three and a half hours!
Started at 8am and waited until 11:30pm!
For the first hour, Pétain frowned slightly, feeling a little dissatisfied.
In the second hour, Pétain was pacing anxiously, and his questioning voice was full of resentment, even a little annoyed.
In the third hour, Pétain even directly hung up the phone with Corniche, saying that Phoenix had gone too far and wanted to cancel the originally scheduled cooperation negotiations, but Corniche stopped him on the grounds that "the new work is important."
Until half past eleven!
And when they were greeted at the front desk and brought tea to them!
Pétain finally couldn't stand it any longer!
Bang!
Pétain slammed the table and stood up directly, with an angry look on his face:
"Let me ask you one last time! Does your president still remember the business negotiation with our Yunwei today?!"
What a fucking bully!
You said to wait for five minutes, if something comes up, that's fine.
You said it would be fine if you wait ten minutes until the meeting is over.
Even if I wait for half an hour, I can barely bear it if the matter is difficult!
Three and a half hours!
Who has to wait three and a half fucking hours for a business negotiation?!
At first, he thought Phoenix just regarded Yunwei and Yunwei as equals and ordinary business colleagues.
Take a look now.
Phoenix doesn’t treat them as human beings?!
Do you think you are a fool if you don’t get angry?!
"Uh-this-Private Marseille! Private Marseille!!!"
What else is there to say at the front desk?
The poor, weak and helpless Sakura Girl could only bow and apologize repeatedly, comforting Petain and others.
And right now!
Tuk-tuk-tuk——
Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door of the VIP room.
Turn around and look.
I saw a lady about forty years old, with short hair and wearing a pearl-white suit, standing at the door:
"Sorry to bother you, may I ask this...?"
I saw a woman suddenly appear at the door.
Petain and others were stunned, but the disgraced receptionist, who had been scolded, seemed to have seen a savior, and quickly came to the woman and nodded slightly:
"President Mida, these are a business group from Yunwei in the United States. They have made an appointment with President Nagashima for business negotiations, but..."
"Oh, okay, you go ahead,"
After understanding the situation in a few words, the middle-aged lady known as "President Meitian" walked into the VIP room in a few steps. Hibiki Peitang stretched out his hand:
"Hello, Mr. Petain, I am Nagashima Mita, the vice president of Phoenix Engine Development Co., Ltd."
Nagashima Miata!
The sister of the second-in-command of Phoenix Engine Company and president Hiroki Nagashima.
"President Nagashima's meeting was a bit long. I'm sorry to keep you waiting."
As he said that, Nagashima Miata walked to the guest sofa and sat down, and then stretched out his hand:
"Mr. Petain, please take a seat."
have to say!
Nagashima Mita has a very strong aura!
The master's gestures were full of momentum. It was obvious that he did not regard Yunwei as someone who needed respect. He even said he was sorry in a lighthearted manner.
and!
What annoyed Petain the most was that she had no intention of inviting them to the conference room!
It seemed that they were going to be dispatched in this temporary reception room!
“I’ve long heard that the Phoenix engine is powerful, and it’s true when I saw it today.”
There was no smile on Pétain's face, and his words were filled with thorns.
Nagashima Mita did not accept the offer at all, but nodded: "Thank you Mr. Pétain for the compliment, let's talk about business."
What the fuck-!!!
Petain was almost like Mr. Zheng with a jetpack in The Mermaid, who was so angry that he flew into the sky.
"So, is President Meida going to discuss engine licensing with us, Yunwei, here?"
Seeing that Nagashima Miata was not polite at all, Pétain simply stopped holding back and responded with a domineering question!
The big signboard of "Yunwei" was directly moved out!
The world's largest comprehensive game manufacturer! One of the most capable right-hand men of today's game giant Vivendi!
It is no exaggeration to say that at this moment, they sit here and represent half of the world's gaming industry!
Is this the attitude of Phoenix?
If the tiger doesn’t show off its power, do you really think I’m a sick cat?!
After saying that, the corners of Pétain's mouth sank slightly, and there was a hint of threatening anger in his eyes!
The scene froze for two seconds!
Then, I heard Nagashima Mita open his mouth and said:
"No, Mr. Pétain, I have no plans to contact you about engine authorization in this reception room."
snort!
Hearing this, Petain snorted secretly, and the lowered corners of his mouth calmed down slightly.
If you don't fight, you won't know the fun.
A second ago, he was very confrontational, but now that Yunwei's name is brought out, he becomes soft on the spot, right?
With a sneer in his heart, Petain rolled his eyelids arrogantly and raised his hand:
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go to the conference room to discuss..."
However!
Before he could finish his words!
Then Nagashima Miata showed a polite fake smile, nodded slightly and said:
"Mr. Pétain misunderstood, I mean we don't need to negotiate anymore, because-"
"In the meeting just now, we decided not to provide any engine authorization services to your company in the future."
As soon as this statement came out.
The entire reception room fell into a dead silence for an instant.
Petain didn't even react at the first moment, his eyes were blank.
It took ten seconds!
His eyes gradually changed from dull and confused to uncontrollable rage!
"What the fvk are you talking about?"
What the fuck are you talking about?
Do you know what the fuck you are talking about?!
At this moment, Pétain's patience finally reached the critical point, and his anger erupted like a volcano!
A full three and a half hours of waiting!
The whole morning, they were left hanging in this reception room!
Phoenix's meetings seem to be endless, endless!
And now, finally, a breathless senior executive came to receive them, and the result was that he said "I will no longer provide any engine authorization services to your company in the future"?
What are you doing here to act like a monkey?!
and!
"President Mida, I think I need to remind you to be responsible for your words,"
At this moment, Pétain's expression was already a little distorted. He suppressed the urge to curse, and in a tone full of naked threats, he 'reminded' Nagashima Mita opposite:
"Do you mean to block the engine of our Yunwei in the future? Are you sure? Do you want to block Yunwei?"
That’s right!
This is the crux of the problem today!
The three-and-a-half-hour wait and Nagashima Miata's attitude were certainly irritating.
But more important than these is Phoenix's current blockade of Yunwei!
Pétain never expected it.
In today's world gaming circle, there are still people who dare to take the initiative to block their Yunwei?!
Yes, you can say that Golden Engine has announced a technical blacklist for their Prestige Dis system before?
That's because they took the lead in imposing a blockade on a series of Chinese manufacturers such as Golden Wind. Moreover, they hold Fantasy in their hands and don't look down on the Golden Engine at all.
But the Phoenix engine is different!
As one of the engine developers whose market share is second only to Fantasy, Phoenix is one of the best in the world in terms of both its technical capabilities and reputation!
A company of this level, with no grudges in the past and no grudges in the recent past, suddenly announced a blockade against Yunwei!
Are you fucking serious?!
But when faced with Petain’s angry and aggressive questioning!
Seeing that Nagashima Mita still looked calm, he nodded without any hesitation:
"I am certain, Mr. Pétain, that Phoenix will refuse all engine service requests from your company from now on."
Just block you!
If you didn’t hear it clearly, I’ll tell you again!
And hear this!
Then Pétain, who was so angry that he couldn't hold himself any longer, suddenly slammed the table and stood up!
"Let your president come out and explain! We have been waiting for nearly four hours, not just for your frivolous decision to block it!"
"I need a reasonable explanation!"
And at this tense moment when the tension was at stake, Pétain had completely turned his back on him and became furious!
suddenly!
Just at the door of the reception room, a clear female voice sounded:
"A blockade is a blockade. Who do you think you are? Do I need to explain to you?"
Showing your arrogance!
court death!
As soon as this statement came out, the members of Yunwei Business Group were all shocked!
The leader, Petain, raised an angry eyebrow and turned his head to glare in the direction of the door!
But the next second!
When he saw clearly the person standing at the door, his whole person couldn't help but froze for an instant, freezing in place——
Chairman of Golden Wind Games Company!
MiaShen! Shen Miaomiao!
"you--?!"
For a moment, Petain was stunned on the spot!
Pig brain overload.
He really couldn't understand why Shen Miaomiao appeared in this place at this time.
To know!
One is the internationally renowned Neon commercial engine developer.
One is the popular Chinese game development company.
It is true that theoretically, these two companies are indeed in the same industry, and it is normal for them to overlap.
but!
He has never heard of any in-depth cooperative relationship between Golden Wind and Phoenix!
The two parties are just acquaintances. At best, they have had normal authorized cooperation in previous works such as "Silent Hill PT" and "Escape"!
Just this little bit of friendship...
This can't be the reason for you, Phoenix, to vent your anger on the Golden Wind and reversely block me, right?!
Thinking of this, Petain couldn't help but frown and sneered:
"Is Mr. Shen being too lenient? I'm asking the person in charge of Phoenix, not you."
Talking.
Petain turned his head to look at Nagashima Mita, who had a plain face, and said with a cold snort:
"And I also suggest that President Meita try to have as little contact and cooperation with companies that cause trouble at will, and be careful of the fake power of the fox and the misfortune that comes from the mouth."
These words are very damaging, and the meaning of sowing discord cannot be more profound.
Although I don't know what's wrong with it.
But judging from the current situation, it was not difficult for Petain to analyze that the current blockade imposed by Phoenix on their Yunwei was definitely related to Shen Miaomiao, the disaster star of Golden Wind.
It seems that today's talks are destined to have no good outcome.
If that's the case, then I might as well make you sick and disgusted.
The meaning of Pétain's words is obvious——
Look, Nagashima Mita, a vice president of yours is still standing here, yet Shen Miaomiao dares to speak so rudely to us, Yunwei, in front of you, who among you is the host and who is the guest?
Besides, by cooperating with such a trouble-making company, aren't you afraid that one day they will use your Phoenix name to mess with the wrong people?
"Be careful if you come with bad intentions..."
Say it.
Petain glanced at the faces of Nagashima Miata and Shen Miaomiao, hoping to see some embarrassment and discomfort on their faces.
However.
Things went counterproductive.
Hearing this, they saw that instead of showing unnatural expressions on their faces, the two of them looked at each other as if they were having fun, and both showed inexplicable smiles.
Shen Miaomiao looked at Petain up and down as if looking at a fool for a long time. Shen Miaomiao was so dumbfounded that she slowly shook her head cheerfully and said:
"Mr. Pétain, I'm afraid you still need to learn more about slang."
"You just said that I'm 'borrowing power to do evil',"
"It means that the weak realize their evil ideas by borrowing powerful power,"
"Let's not talk about whether it is just to impose counter-sanctions on you, a hegemonic organization in the gaming industry,"
"I just want to ask a question:"
"As the second largest shareholder of Phoenix Engine R&D Co., Ltd.——"
"Which family is the fox, and whose authority is it borrowing from?"
Petain's guess was correct——
Shen Miaomiao indeed did not have enough friendship to influence Phoenix Engine's attitude!
But unfortunately -
She has enough money to influence the equity structure of Phoenix Engine!
1.8 billion dollars!
23.22% equity!
Shen Miaomiao standing in front of Petain now does not represent the golden wind!
Rather, I am talking to you on behalf of one of the world's top game engine developers and the second largest shareholder of Phoenix!
"Is this coming with bad intentions?"
With soft footsteps, Shen Miaomiao walked into the reception room, picked up the briefcase on the table and handed it to Petain, and issued an expulsion order:
"You are the one who came..."
