Chapter 79 Intention
"How is my story?"
After the starter and the main dishes were finished, Claudia's own story was almost done. Seeing that Jester had just swallowed a piece of herb mousse for a dessert after meals, she asked with a smile.
Jester was silent for a while.
To be honest, the story told by the other party was still very touching. He liked this kind of personality that must be the first.
He agrees with the famous saying that only the first can survive.
But now it is not a question of whether he likes or not, but he wants to negotiate a cooperation agreement. What he is looking for is someone who can help him establish a complete sales channel in Europe. This cannot be chosen based solely on his own likes and dislikes.
"Miss Robert." Jester thought for a long time, put down the silver knife and fork in his hand, then picked up the napkin on one side, wiped his mouth and put it aside. He looked up at the delicate face opposite him and said, "The food is very good. I'm not a cliché. I believe you have investigated my family before. 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 private stories. Although your story is very good, if you want to work with me, you should know what I can bring out. The question is, what can you bring out?"
Claudia smiled after hearing this, she closed her hair, picked up her glass and took a sip of Martini.
"Mr. Li, sometimes you really need to take risks. IMHO, isn't you also taking risks by investing your full wealth in video games now?" Claudia chuckled, holding the wine glass and shaking her wrist gently. Suddenly, her body leaned forward, staring at Jester without moving, and said in a constant tone, "If everyone goes to this industry, can you still have such a big reward?"
Of course, Jester couldn't directly say that he was not taking risks when making video games, but because he knew the future prospects of the industry, and he was also good at doing this.
But Jester couldn't object to what the other party said well.
After pondering for a moment, Jester's fingers subconsciously kept knocking on the heavy oak table, making dull sounds after dull sounds.
Claudia stopped talking, but sat quietly waiting for Jester's answer.
Five minutes later, Jester took a deep breath, and a faint fragrance of roses floated in the air. Jester had smelled this smell before, which should be from the woman in front of him.
"You're right." Jester's tone was not as straightforward as usual. His upper body leaned back slightly, his fingers crossed on the table, and said, "But please don't turn in. Please answer my initial question. What can you provide in our cooperation?"
As he said that, Jester's eyes became sharper and his tone became serious.
"Please be immoral, what I need is a collaborator who can facilitate us in Europe, not a … expelled person like you who can no longer get help from your family."
Hearing the ugly words that Jester said, Claudia raised her eyebrows and a warm and angry look flashed in her eyes.
But she still couldn't bear it. She just showed a slightly sarcastic smile and said, "Mr. Li, don't you know that no one in the UK would think that a woman could become a national leader ten years ago?"
Jester only smiled contemptuously. He straightened his neckline, looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, and said coldly: "Miss Robert, don't be too savvy to yourself. First of all, you are not Mrs. Thatcher. Secondly, I just want to know what you can provide for me now. If your next answer cannot satisfy me, then I have to leave. Although I am very interested in developing the European market, you cannot impress me."
"Before answering this question, I would like to ask Mr. Li, do you want a distribution company of your own, or just a company that just publishes your games?"
As she said, Claudia stood up. She was 180 cm tall and tall. She had two white arms on the table. Her upper body bent slightly and looked at Jester who was still sitting in her seat from a downward angle. Her tone still had a sarcastic scent, "If you just want a company that can publish your game, then you can leave, it is me who saw it wrong."
Hearing Claudia's words, Jester's expression moved, and he understood what Claudia meant.
Claudia knew that her words had played a role through the slight change in Jest's expression, so she continued: "To be honest, if I were now in the Robert family or other people of the same identity, even if we could reach a cooperation agreement, you would definitely not be the dominant party, you could only be the partner. I hope to clarify this before you know what I can do."
Jace nodded, the other party said it was good.
If some big players really come to talk to them about cooperation, although their games can get a lot of convenience when they are released in Europe, it is not without cost. These big players cannot be willing to work for themselves. They will inevitably win the dominance of the company. Even if they can keep it at the beginning, they may not be able to continue to keep it in the future.
After all, he knew how much profit the video games would bring to him after his console came out.
These people who can achieve great things will never let go of this piece of fat.
At that time, it might be inevitable that the division of European companies and even the expulsion of themselves would be a necessity, which is why he has always disagreed with Sega to further cooperate.
The issuing company cannot be controlled by others.
Of course, if you don’t cooperate with these bigwigs with deep background, what’s the difference between rebuilding a distribution channel with yourself?
When Jester thought of this, he frowned and looked up at Claudia who was looking down at him with a slightly sarcastic smile on his face, waiting for him to reply.
"Ahem..." Jester coughed twice, pondered for a moment, and then said, "If I start from scratch and do it myself, why should I cooperate with you? Isn't it better to find someone to do it myself? Besides, then again, why should I believe you have this ability?"
Claudia straightened up, and when she heard Jester's words, she chuckled at first, her face full of confidence, and in a tone of statements, she said again the sentence she had made Jester sneer at before: "Mr. Li, don't you know that no one in Britain ten years ago would think that a woman could become a national leader."
This was a very arrogant sentence, but Jester looked at the extremely confident woman in front of him, and did not have any disagreement thoughts like before. In his feelings, this sentence was in line with Claudia's expression, manner and tone at this time, making him feel that she was explaining 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 would have a good start - at least he would be willing to listen to him continue.
"My plan..." Claudia turned around and walked gracefully to a table on one side, and took out a thick document from the drawer. The document was sandwiched by a light blue folder, and the plastic translucent folder had some beautiful and quaint patterns printed on it.
Claudia walked to the table with the folder and handed the folder to Jester.
She sat down in her seat after Jester took it.
"This is my plan for a European distribution company." She said directly when she saw that Jester had taken the folder and did not open it immediately.
"The folder is beautiful." Jester did not open it and looked, but first praised the irrelevant things.
"Thank you, it was designed by me myself." Claudia nodded and thanked her. There was no abnormality in her eyes, as if she had expected this.
Jester smiled, and he placed the folder directly on the table. He did not look at it, but looked at Claudia curiously. He asked in a strange tone: "Don't worry about this, I have some questions. I want to ask, I don't think you are a person who is not cautious enough, nor a fool, but why do you take the initiative to talk about your own experience at the beginning and show your weakness?"
Claudia's lips curled up, showing a smiley expression. She simply said: "Because I am at a disadvantage."
"Then..." Jester hesitated for a moment, and he asked with some confusion, "Why are you so strong at whom you invite this supper? You must know that as a host, you are too strong, and you do not match your strength."
Claudia blinked her green eyes and said calmly: "The strength I performed before was to enhance your confidence in cooperation and make you feel that your partner is capable and trustworthy. At the same time, I also want to test how eager you are to form a European distribution company. I think that a person who cannot give in to anyone who treats a meal means that this matter is not urgent for him."
"Then the subsequent show of weakness is to gain sympathy?" Jester teased with some sarcasm.
"No." Claudia's tone was firm, and then she looked at Jester with a strange look, and her tone became like the brothers she had mocked her before, saying, "Is it that in your eyes that I am a woman who can get promises by gaining sympathy?"
"Haha." Jester still had the same sarcastic tone. "Sorry, Miss Robert, I know you only the time of this dinner. As for what kind of woman you are, I have not been able to make a specific evaluation because I have contacted too little, but I am still very curious. Since you don't want to gain sympathy, but you said that this is your show of weakness, then don't you want to explain?"
Claudia chuckled, and she asked in a strange tone: "Does Mr. Li want a scheming partner instead of an open-minded partner?"
When Jester heard this, an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes. He once again looked at the faint smile on the face in front of him, and the woman with a rose smell was silenced for a few seconds. He suddenly spoke.
"I'll check out your plan first."
After hearing Jester's words, Claudia's delicate face still had a faint, confident smile.
