Chapter 277 Negotiation
Ye Xi laughed so hard that she almost choked. She took a deep breath and said, "I have recorded the entire process from the moment the guards violently took us away to the moment you forced me to sign to identify Sui Sui, including your phrase 'female loser'. Oh, guess what will happen next?"
Han Chen's face turned gloomy. Suddenly, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and the staff of the public relations department hurried in with a nervous look: "Mr. Han, there are a large number of protesters outside. They are demanding the release of Qiao Suisui and Ye Xi, and the media is already reporting on this matter."
Han Chen's expression became even gloomier. He obviously had not expected things to develop to this point.
Eight hours ago.
On the plane, Qiao Susu and Ye Xi simulated all possible situations.
The two found that even if they directly used the media and live broadcasts to expose the truth, they might be defeated by INF in the end, because they were fighting against capital, a huge company, and a trusted brand in the hearts of players.
Ye Xi was a bit desperate. She said in frustration: "Why not just be simple and rude? I will directly attract the firepower. Anyway, I am on their blacklist. Then you can force your way in and shut down that damned erasure program!"
Qiao Suisui remained silent.
Ye Xi probably thought that his plan was outrageous, so he stopped talking.
After a long silence, Qiao Suisui suddenly spoke up: "What if we can't beat them, then we can join them?"
"Ah?" Ye Xi adjusted his glasses and came over to ask, "V50 you, tell me your revenge plan in detail."
Qiao Susu whispered her thoughts into her ear, and the more Ye Xi listened, the brighter her eyes became.
She knew that she couldn't fight INF head-on, she could only outsmart them, so she planned to throw a smoke bomb first, making Han Chen think that her purpose was to expose the company's erasure of the player's game world in the live broadcast, so that Han Chen would definitely take action to fight back. At this time, Qiao Suisui could cooperate with Ye Xi, pretending to be at a disadvantage, and record the whole process with a pinhole camera hidden under the collar in advance. They originally planned to guide the topic in the process, so that Han Chen would reveal his true colors and admit that INF used improper means to defraud Ye Xi of the game design copyright. In this way, Qiao Suisui had one more chip in her hand.
I guess Qiao Susu and Ye Xi didn't expect that the assistant was so powerful. He was like an undercover agent sent by our army, who dared to say anything.
Ye Xi smiled at this too. All her videos were uploaded to the cloud in real time. She only needed to press the inconspicuous button in the center of her glasses to achieve the transmission. She had done this action tens of thousands of times in the past. It was so natural that her assistant didn't even notice it.
Time goes back to the present moment. Han Chen looks at Qiao Suisui and growls angrily: "What on earth did you do?"
Qiao Suisui raised her eyes calmly, looked directly at Han Chen, and said, "I didn't want to do this. I just wanted to negotiate the terms with you, but at the beginning, President Han didn't take me seriously and thought we were not worthy of negotiating terms with you. I wonder if President Han still thinks so now?"
Han Chen grabbed the tie and pulled it down in frustration. He stared at Qiao Susu and smiled ferociously.
"Good, you're fine."
Then he asked the PR department to bring him the latest information. He saw that the assistant's words had become a short video that was played repeatedly on major public platforms.
"Those players are empty, hungry, and loser girls like you. We spent a lot of money to make this game to fill their hearts, but you're still talking about your self-worth in the live broadcast. It's ridiculous."
Once this video was pushed, it quickly captured the public's attention, and the terms used were very inhumane: #INF company despises players#, #These days, game developers can even criticize those who spend money on games#, #INF company is a blood-stained man#, #INF company or Koreans, who is better at stealing? The original game designer was threatened#
Han Chen smashed the iPad to the ground. The employees were so scared that they dared not even breathe. The assistant also knew that he had caused trouble and his face turned pale with fear.
The man panted and glared at Qiao Suisui, but he started to give instructions to the public relations department in an orderly manner: "Issue a notice immediately. The employee involved has been fired and a formal apology is made to calm the public opinion and the anger of the players. Then, contact all platforms, remove all related entries, and reduce the trending searches!"
The PR employee said in embarrassment: "We contacted the platform as soon as possible, but it seems someone got there before us."
Han Chen frowned and looked at him inquiringly, only to hear the employee say, "The account that posted the video is just a newly registered account. It stands to reason that there is no traffic pool in this range to push it. But now it seems that it took less than ten minutes from the release of the video to its fermentation. There must be someone behind the scenes." At the same time, the landline phones in the open work area kept ringing, and dozens of them rang at the same time from all directions, like a symphony of death.
An employee answered the phone, said hello, and was nailed to the spot. Then he turned around slowly, his face full of the helplessness and difficulty of a working man.
The man said: "Boss Han, the front desk called and said..."
"Speak!" Han Chen was on the verge of exploding and almost shouted.
"There is a Mr. Guan with a group of lawyers in the hall. He said that you should release his student immediately."
Han Chen held his forehead, not understanding why such a big deal had to happen today. He shouted angrily, "What student? Find someone to pick him up."
The employee was afraid of being scolded, so he interrupted him before he finished speaking and said, "He said his student's name is Qiao Suisui."
Han Chen finally understood at this time that the young girl in front of him came prepared and was not acting rashly.
Qiao Suisui remained calm. She looked at Han Chen and said, "Perhaps, Mr. Han, do you think I am qualified to negotiate with you now?"
Han Chen sneered and waved everyone away. At this moment, there were only two of them left in the meeting room.
"You are very smart." He stared at Qiao Suisui.
"Thank you, you are very arrogant." Qiao Suisui was not afraid at all and said, "It is your contempt that made my plan go smoothly unexpectedly."
Han Chen looked grim. "Tell me, what do you want? You've gone through so much trouble, is it just to have a game world where I don't want to wipe you out?"
"I want you to give me the license to operate this game."
Han Chen leaned back and looked at her in disbelief, as if he hadn't heard clearly, and said, "Can you say it again?"
Qiao Suisui was not intimidated by his attitude. On the contrary, she said confidently, "Give me the operating license, and I will give you twice your current overseas revenue in the mainland market."
Han Chen narrowed his eyes and only then did he take a closer look at Qiao Susu.
Although INF has strong funding, it does not mean that the project is profitable. In fact, due to the early development, the game is still in a loss-making state, which is why Han Chen cares so much about this promotional opportunity.
The demand from overseas female users is not as huge as that from mainland China, and Ye Xi's design has been very localized from the beginning. This has always been a constraint for Han Chen, as he can only do some business in East Asian markets, and sales performance in North America and other places is not good.
Han Chen didn't show it on his face, but he was shocked in his heart. Such business insight actually came from this seemingly weak girl in front of him.
She looked like she had just reached adulthood, and her delicate face was the object of all college boys' affection. At this age, she should be kissing and cuddling with those immature boys, but the girl in front of him was talking about business with him confidently.
