Chapter 32 [Strategic Alliance]
. "Hey, is it Mr. Feng? I am Shi Lei."
I was driving the car while calling Feng Yihua.
"Hello, Mr. Shi, haha, what's the matter with me?" Feng Yihua seemed very polite as always.
"Hello, that's it. You caught a story with me about cooperating with that online game some time ago. I wonder if you are still interested in it now." Although I am asking for help now, I can only say it straight to the point.
Feng Yihua smiled, "Okay, I'm still interested, but I don't understand why Mr. Shi suddenly wanted me to join again?"
Although Feng Yihua's words were somewhat sarcastic, I felt relieved by this answer. So I said bluntly, "Let's do this, let's meet and talk, where is Mr. Feng now?"
"In my own store, it's the one from 1912."
"Okay, let's meet at the Starbucks next to your store, the second floor."
After Feng Yihua agreed, I hung up the phone and drove the car directly towards 1912.
When I arrived at Starbucks, I went upstairs. Feng Yihua was already sitting in the seat at the top. I smiled and waved to her, greeted her, and then sat down opposite her.
"What should I drink?" I asked Feng Yihua.
"Look at Mr. Shi's taste, which one do you usually drink?"
I raised my eyebrows, "I usually go latte here, so I'll drink one by one?"
Feng Yihua nodded, I stood up and ordered two lattes downstairs, and also helped Feng Yihua ask for a dessert, so I took it upstairs.
After each took a sip of coffee, I spoke, "It can be seen that Mr. Feng is a very refreshing person, so I won't hide it. I didn't agree to cooperate with Mr. Feng before. First, this is the company's business, after all, I'm not up to my own decision. Second, the entire development progress of the game is not determined, and I'm not sure about it in my heart, and it's not convenient for Mr. Feng to participate. Third, I have some personal reasons for me, so I won't explain it to Mr. Feng here. Now, to be honest, after Mr. Feng joining, it's great benefit to me, or to our Tongda. But I don't want to hide it from you. You must have profits after joining. If, according to Mr. Feng's previous statement, the purpose is to enter the mainland market, then there is no problem. However, if Mr. Feng joins at this time, he may offend Mr. Bai. I guess Mr. Feng is not unfamiliar with Mr. Bai, right?"
After hearing what I said, Feng Yihua was stunned.
Maybe she never expected that I would confess so frankly and actually expressed the biggest factor of Mr. Bai.
This is rare in business negotiations, which is not a heart-to-heart talk between friends, and can say anything. Business negotiations must involve interests, so how to hide your weaknesses and expand your advantages becomes the inevitable key to every business negotiation. In other words, the more weaknesses are exposed, the fewer chips you can use for negotiation in your hand, and the further the result of the negotiation will be from your psychological expectations. Therefore, the level of frankness like what I said just now can be said to violate the normal laws of all business negotiations.
"Ahem, why did Mr. Shi suddenly confess so frankly?"
I smiled and took a sip of coffee, "Maybe Mr. Feng's impression of me is that he is very cunning and happy, but he will not be tantamount to his emotions, but he is just facing ordinary business objects. If Mr. Feng agrees to cooperate with us, then he will be our partners. In other words, we are comrades in the same trenches. I don't want to offend my allies just as the cooperation begins. And since Mr. Feng wants to help the family business open up the domestic market, then we may have the possibility of cooperation in many aspects in the future, so I don't want to position our relationship as a pure one-time deal from the beginning. Besides, although we don't have deep relationships, there are actually many strange connections. So I don't want to hide this from Mr. Feng. I'm afraid it won't be hidden for long."
Feng Yihua nodded quietly, as if agreeing with me. However, although I seemed to be very honest and everything was reasonable, the reason why I was so straightforward was entirely because I decided after driving here just now when I went downstairs to buy coffee. Before, I kept thinking about how to use a breakthrough and slowly explain the matter of Master Bai to Feng Yihua at the end. However, because of the rather teasing words on her previous phone and the interesting expression on her face after I sat down, I suddenly felt like I woke up suddenly.
Yes, although the conflict between Mr. Bai and I have not been known to many people, people in the entire four major families are probably spread everywhere. Good things don’t go out, bad things spread thousands of miles. The more personal grudges related to women are like this, the more likely they are to spread.
At first it was for a model, and although there was no substantial conflict with Chuchu, before I appeared, Chuchu followed Master Bai. But shortly after I appeared in their sight, Chuchu completely left Master Bai and went to make a movie for me. A pre- and queen who had been in the film for two years has returned to the world. There are many things that are worth gossiping and guessing in the process.
When I encountered my online game project, when my popularity has reached its peak, any operator would probably use the shortest time to switch the game from internal testing to public testing and then go online. However, I have not let this game go online for a long time and announced that it will take some time before the public testing. Although the excuse is perfect, it can make most gamers believe that we are trying not to remove the small bugs exposed in the internal testing as much as possible, but for those who already know some insider information, it is not so easy for them to believe it.
That's why I boldly acted like this as the most honest look. I guess Feng Yihua probably knew about the tricks that Mr. Bai was playing with the server operator. Instead of being discovered, it would be better to take the initiative to tell him and take the initiative. The rest depends on whether the other party is sincere in cooperation.
"This is the case. I don't want to hide it from Mr. Feng. There are some personal grudges between Mr. Bai and Mr. Bai, so he must spare no effort to make things difficult for me. If Mr. Feng decides to cooperate with us this time, he will definitely stand opposite Mr. Bai. Regarding this, Mr. Feng, please consider it clearly..."
I said the number one brother said so much, waiting for Feng Yihua's answer.
Feng Yihua pondered for a moment, "So, since you are so honest, you have blocked some of my original questions back. But this is good, which saves a lot of trouble from going back and forth. As for me, I have also heard some rumors before, saying that the grudge between you and Master Bai is related to women. I don't believe it very much, because since I met Mr. Shi, Mr. Shi, seems to be very self-controlled in this aspect, so I have never quite understood the real situation here. Since I have talked about this today, I want to hear Mr. Shi talk about what is going on."
After a long time, Feng Yihua still started to inquire about gossip. I really don’t know what the rumors have been said between Mr. Bai and Mr. Bai have been rumored to be like this. Scandals and scandals, especially those who are already plagued by Mr. Bai, are not good things to do if they are involved in Mr. Bai.
"Haha. I don't know what the version you heard looks like. This matter is definitely not as exaggerated as it is rumored outside. The reason is that at Wu Jun's house, you may know that the kind of model auctions are openly auctioned at a regular party. At that time, Long Da and Fang Dafu advised me to play. Without thinking too much, they just offered a price of 180,000 yuan. Unexpectedly, they became the top scorer that night, just like Mr. Bai. Then they chose a model. I don't like Mr. Bai very much. The arrogant look made people feel a little urge to beat him. So after seeing the model he liked, I deliberately raised a quarrel with him and took the girl away first."
After hearing this, Feng Yihua smiled thoughtfully, "Haha, what's going on with Miss Anne? I heard that she seems to have something to do with Young Master Bai?"
Hearing this, I sighed and shook my head and said, "Oh... Chuchu... She... The entertainment industry has ruined many good girls. I was also surprised to see Chuchu next to Young Master Bai that day. I had contacted her twice before. Although I was not very familiar with her, I had a good impression of her. As for later, it was also because Peter's movie was really suitable for Chuchu to act, just like when Peter saw Chuchu himself. He also exclaimed that Chuchu was the best candidate for Xiao Zhouhou. I think Mr. Feng should
Is there a consensus?" Feng Yihua nodded unconsciously, and I continued, "I don't want to ask about her before. After all, it's all personal choices. In my contact with her, I think she's not bad. When Peter said he planned to let Chen Chong or Gong Li play this role, I thought of Chuchu and thought it was a very suitable candidate. After being introduced to Peter, he chose Chuchu as the heroine. If Peter didn't like it, I wouldn't say anything to Chuchu."
Feng Yihua turned around and looked out the window. It was a gloomy weather outside.
"Actually, I didn't want to ask about these things, but I just think that if you want to understand the grudges between Mr. Bai and you, I still need to know some. Actually, I know most of what you said. Ask you, just confirm with you. To be honest, I also know your background and all aspects of the situation. Wang Hang talked to me a lot about you before. In addition, I also know that the reason why you are engaged in this game is largely related to a girl. Maybe this is the personal reason you said, and it is not convenient for me to say more. However, I would like to advise you, sometimes don't be too persistent in being a person, let it pass on the things you should forget, and you may be the one who is entangled in this and ultimately hurt yourself." Feng Yihua unexpectedly said something about something other than the project, and she actually felt Li Xiaoyu very keenly.
I hesitated for a moment and decided to just ask, "Do you know Li Xiaoyu?"
"I'm considered acquaintance, not very familiar. My family is quite good. They came to my place for dinner some time ago, and I stayed with me for a while. During the meal, they talked about Xu Hao, that is, Li Xiaoyu's boyfriend. When Xu Hao's company has been under great pressure and resistance recently, almost all the publicity has been suppressed by the game of your company. Wherever they appear, you will appear on the same page. After Xu Hao's parents left first, there was a dispute between Xu Hao and Li Xiaoyu because of this... Really, Shi Lei, I'll tell you about this as an elder sister. If you want Xu Hao and Li Xiaoyu to understand some truths, I think it's almost done now. They must have already understood that Zu Yin and ability are not the same thing. A person's future is often not determined by a simple family background." Feng Yihua was also very frank and told me all the information she knew.
I smiled slightly, and my face was touched, "Haha. I have my plans for this matter, Mr. Feng doesn't have to worry too much. Let's talk about the important matters. Regarding cooperation, Mr. Feng has now known all the real situation of our Tongda. I wonder if Mr. Feng still has the intention to join?"
Feng Yihua smiled faintly and suddenly changed the topic, "It seems that the coffee is gone, why do you feel that it is not satisfying to drink it? Should Mr. Shi have another cup?"
I was not in a hurry to force Feng Yihua to express her opinion. She was in such a situation. There was probably something to say, so she could let her go.
I nodded, "Okay, then let's have another latte..."
Feng Yihua smiled, "Haha, Mr. Shi is really a very persistent person, which can be seen from the details of drinking coffee."
I also smiled and shook my head, "I am used to it. In fact, the main reason is not persistence. It is laziness. Because I am lazy, I don't want to try new things, it's not persistence or nostalgia."
Feng Yihua smiled without saying a word, turned around and walked towards the stairs.
I sat alone at the window and looked at the scenery outside. Suddenly I remembered a sentence I heard a long time ago, "Standing on the bridge and looking at the scenery, people watching you upstairs..." It seems like a poem by Bian Zhilin called "Out of context". Thinking about now, I am playing a cat and mouse game, teasing Li Xiaoyu and her boyfriend named Xu Hao, who was fascinated by the way, but I didn't expect that my every move would fall into the eyes of others, and became some interesting stories in the eyes of others. Now the real run has not begun, and when they really force them to sell the game, it is probably the real joke. At that time, many people will definitely laugh and watch a movie that happened around them.
Just as he was thinking, Feng Yihua came back with coffee, put a cup in front of me, and smiled and said, "What are you looking at?"
“Look at the scenery.”
"Oh?" Feng Yihua's eyebrows jumped, "often when you are looking at the scenery, you become part of the scenery."
I smiled, and it seemed that Feng Yihua also remembered the poem, "You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, and people look at you upstairs. The bright moon decorates your window, and you decorate other people's dreams." I couldn't help but read aloud, and the next two sentences were read by Feng Yihua and me.
After reading it, we looked at each other and laughed at each other for this rare tacit understanding.
After smiling at each other for a while, Feng Yihua spoke, "Mr. Shi, I have some things to ask you..."
Halfway through the conversation, I left a conversation. I smiled and replied, "President Feng ask..."
"First, I wonder if we can't be so formal in the future. I call you Mr. Shi, you call me Mr. Feng. As you said, there are still many relationships between us who are stumbled around the bush. Is this good? How old are you? I'm a few years older than you, so I will call you Shi Lei, as if they all call you that. And you, even if I get a bargain, you call me Mr. Feng." After that, she looked at me and waited for my answer.
It's okay if I think about it. Maybe I will become a partner soon. I always say that Mr. Feng and Shi are like this. To be honest, I feel awkward, so I nodded and said, "Then I will call you Sister Hua."
Feng Yihua nodded, "Well... what's the second, Shi Lei, how many shares do you plan to give me?"
"This is a small problem. The only principle is that I must ensure my identity as the largest shareholder, and other shares can be negotiated."
Feng Yihua nodded, "Okay, then the third item is, what is our cooperation plan? In other words, what position do you plan to give me."
I smiled, and leaned back with a relaxed body, "Haha, this is also within the scope of negotiation. However, my own idea is probably like this. I don't want to find a temporary partner for cooperation, so if Sister Hua intends to invest, then we are in a long-term cooperative relationship. What I give you is not the share of this project, but the shares of the entire Eleven Plus Nine Company. However, if Sister Hua's ideal way of cooperation is venture capital investment, and then quickly make a profit and recover within a certain period of time, I don't have much objection."
Feng Yihua smiled, "Oh, do you really want me to join your company?"
"Haha, it's just a company that does not occupy any shares of Tongda Group, it's just Eleven Plus Nine Game Entertainment Company." I smiled and crossed my legs. The conversation reached such a point. I was already sure that Feng Yihua would definitely enter this muddy water.
Sure enough, Feng Yibi didn't hesitate anymore and said directly, "Okay, I'll go to your company to discuss the details tomorrow. Our Hong Kong Feng family has formed a strategic alliance with your Tongda. For the media, if you need to release the news, it's no problem now."
