Chapter 681 Deliberately Building Favorability
Shi Yi listened to Wang Yu's words, seemingly lost in thought.
Qin Ce and Han Yan were led to a private room, and the woman pushed the door open.
"Mr. Tan, the guests have arrived."
Tan Yuwen turned around from the French windows and saw the two people at the door. A polite smile appeared on her lips. She walked over and extended her hand to them. “President Han, President Qin, I am Tan Yuwen. My father is not feeling well and is unable to attend, so he specially asked me to entertain you both. It’s a pleasure to meet you both. Please take good care of me.”
She was wearing a white blazer, her hair was in a bun, and she had a beautiful face and a generous and capable demeanor.
Han Yan politely extended his hand and shook hers. "It's not exactly the first time we've met. I even attended Miss Tan's coming-of-age ceremony back then."
Han Yan's words made Tan Yuwen laugh.
However, compared to his casualness, Qin Ce seemed too indifferent.
He didn't shake hands with Tan Yuwen, but simply said, "Sit down and talk."
Tan Yuwen didn't seem to be affected by Qin Ce. After Qin Ce and Han Yan sat down, she instructed the secretary at the door to start serving the dishes.
"I've only been back in China for a few days and I don't know what people in Beijing like these days, so I just ordered some local specialties. I don't know if they'll suit Mr. Han and Mr. Qin's tastes."
Although the meal was secondary during today's meeting, Han Yan still glanced at the dishes after they were served.
There weren't many dishes, but they were all basically to his and Qin Ce's liking.
Tan Yuwen claimed she didn't understand anything, but in reality, she put in a lot of effort.
But Han Yan knew that her true intentions were not what they seemed.
This time, they are the ones who want to discuss projects with Ye Group, not the other way around.
Tan Yuwen took the initiative to arrange all of this, which was clearly a deliberate attempt to win favor.
There were only two people present, and Han Yan knew that Tan Yuwen's target was not him.
After a few simple toasts and pleasantries, the conversation finally turned to business.
“Although my father didn’t come this time, he has already told me to tell you both that he is very honored that S&C chose our Heye Group, which is a recognition of us. My father also said that Heye Group will strictly control the output of this project. Several batches of VR equipment have already been put into the trial stage. If the positive feedback exceeds 80%, we will consider investing in other cities.”
"Eighty percent?" Han Yan frowned. "But our purpose in promoting VR is to attract players so that we can test the applicability of XR technology in games later. If we have to reach eighty percent, isn't that too slow?"
After all, Beijing is not a city where VR is widely used, and this upper limit may greatly affect the progress of subsequent projects. Han Yan felt that it was not feasible.
“President Han, my father also considered that this figure might be a bit high, but he also has his own concerns. After all, Heye Group is at the forefront of this promotion, and we also need to ensure that the equipment will not have any problems. Otherwise, if an accident occurs in other cities, the losses to Heye Group will be uncontrollable.”
Han Yan felt somewhat uncomfortable hearing these words.
They could have launched VR directly to the market without going through Heyue Group, but the latest batch of devices suffered data corruption due to Qin Liang's involvement.
Currently in Beijing, Heyue Group is the most suitable and fastest company to produce a new batch of equipment.
Although S&C contacted Heye Group through Tang Xi, they were not the only option for S&C.
But now, not only is Chairman Tan deliberately avoiding showing up, but judging from Tan Yuwen's words, she also seems to be trying to suppress them.
Isn't this a bit too disrespectful to them?
Tan Yuwen's words were filled with helplessness, and her seemingly plausible reasons were almost believable even to Han Yan.
However, Qin Ce didn't tolerate them. He tapped the table lightly with his fingertip, interrupting Tan Yuwen, "We chose Heye because currently in Beijing, only Heye can produce equipment that meets S&C requirements and standards. But if your company doesn't even have confidence in itself, then there's no need to continue this discussion."
Tan Yuwen explained, "No, President Qin, this matter..."
Qin Ce didn't give her a chance to speak. He stood up and said to Han Yan, "You can go back now."
Han Yan also stood up, and said somewhat helplessly, "Ms. Tan, please go back and tell Chairman Tan that we chose Heye because we hoped that this project could be launched in Beijing as soon as possible. However, if Chairman Tan insists on this requirement, then I'm sorry we cannot continue to cooperate."
Tan Yuwen felt a little regretful; when her father mentioned something to her earlier, she already felt it was unfeasible.
Who is Qin Ce? Even if this cooperation was initiated by them, we can only say that we're giving them face.
Such an opportunity is something many people would kill for.
However, his father not only failed to be humble and grateful, but also tried to use this incident to give Qin Ce a hard time.
That's incredibly naive.
"etc!"
Seeing that the two were about to leave, Tan Yuwen quickly called them back.
She agreed to meet with Han Yan and Qin Ce today, not just to discuss work.
Tan Yuwen would not be willing to let the two of them leave like this.
Han Yan stopped in his tracks. "Is there anything else, Miss Tan?"
Tan Yuwen glanced at Han Yan but didn't speak to him. Instead, she looked at Qin Ce beside her. She knew that the decision-making power ultimately rested with Qin Ce.
“President Qin, I know that S&C has given our Heyue Group an opportunity this time, and we really want to seize it. If President Qin is still willing to support Heyue Group, I am willing to persuade my father to lower the test data and bring VR to market as soon as possible.”
From the moment he entered, Qin Ce's gaze never lingered on Tan Yuwen for more than three seconds.
Only after she finished speaking did Qin Ce truly look at her.
As the daughter, she actually saw things more clearly than Mr. Tan, who had been in the business world for over a decade.
The atmosphere in the private room quieted down.
Tan Yuwen was a little nervous.
She wasn't sure Qin Ce would change his mind because of her words, but she had to make him stay today no matter what.
Only by successfully negotiating this matter will she and Qin Ce have the opportunity to come into contact.
To Tan Yuwen's relief, Qin Ce relented.
"I'm only giving you three days."
Tan Yuwen breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you so much, President Qin, for still giving us this opportunity."
She picked up the wine glass on the table and said, "I thank you both on behalf of my father."
Once she picked up the wine, Han Yan and the others had a hard time leaving.
Although it's unclear whether this proposal was Tan Yuwen's own idea or Chairman Tan's decision, since they've agreed to cooperate, they still need to put on a show.
