Chapter 290 The Final Purpose
Liu Wangxue took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and was very surprised: "So, they just left like that?"
Xu Qingsong picked up the teapot, refilled it for her, nodded and said, "Well, let's go."
"Then what are they trying to do?" Liu Wangxue was puzzled. "They came all the way here just to mess up this cooperation and cause trouble for you?"
She suddenly remembered: "Didn't you say that Richard and Boss Du were good friends? Then he just watched?"
Xu Qingsong shook his head: "Richard seems to be completely unaware of this, and he has already returned to Country M."
On the afternoon of the day when the negotiations broke down, Richard specifically asked Du Yunkai out, apologized to him for a long time, and flew back in the evening - it was said that the top management ordered him to return to China immediately.
"Ah?" What kind of magical operation is this? Liu Wangxue became even more confused.
Xu Qingsong said: "Lao Du and I both felt that they probably had other purposes from the beginning."
"What's the purpose?" Liu Wangxue asked.
Xu Qingsong poured himself a cup of tea, and the teapot was empty. He rang the bell to call the waitress and asked her to help refill the water.
Then he answered Liu Wangxue: "It's just a guess. Lao Du and I agree that they are not here to seek cooperation. Cooperation may just be a cover, and the ultimate goal is to occupy it."
Xu Qingsong and Du Yunkai guessed correctly.
After Richard submitted the carefully prepared materials to the senior management of D&L Game, the senior management sent people to conduct an investigation, and thus noticed the market of Country Z. They felt that it was profitable, so they held a meeting and approved Richard's proposal.
At the beginning, they really wanted to cooperate with Jingshan Technology, but as the subsequent investigation was gradually carried out, the data became more and more accurate. After a series of meetings and discussions, this group of people changed their minds.
They thought, the market of Country Z is so big, how much can they earn just by cooperating? It's just a small profit, not interesting at all. The cake is in front of them, of course they have to open their mouths and stomachs and eat as much as they can! They also did some background checks, but it was not easy to check Jingshan Technology, after all, it was far away from them. However, it was relatively easy to check the founder of Jingshan Technology, Du Yunkai - he and Richard used to be in the same game company, and they were both partners and friends.
After the investigation, they concluded that with Du Yunkai's personality, D&L Game would most likely not be able to get a piece of the Jingshan Technology pie. So from then on, they unilaterally eliminated their intention to cooperate with Jingshan Technology.
Since it has been eliminated, why bother going through this again?
First, according to their superficial understanding, people of country Z care about face and value friendship.
Since Du Yunkai and Richard are good friends and Richard has been working hard on the cooperation, perhaps Du Yunkai will be grateful for Richard's friendship and give him this face.
——After the top management changed their minds, they felt that Richard was no longer suitable to be the leader of this team. They originally wanted to kick him out directly, but because of this, they kept him.
Second, the exorbitant terms at the negotiation table are intentional.
Firstly, we cannot rule out the possibility that Du Yunkai made a mistake temporarily; secondly, even if Du Yunkai did not make a mistake and the negotiations failed, D&L would not suffer any loss; finally, the content of the negotiations might be leaked, and D&L could come up with normal and attractive terms when negotiating with subsequent companies, so as to achieve a contrast effect - they value you and that is why they treat you so well.
"Invasion?" Liu Wangxue thought for a moment and said, "Indeed, some daily chemical or food brands in our country have either disappeared or completely turned into foreign companies after the introduction of foreign investment."
Xu Qingsong followed up her words and mentioned a few brand names, and then the two discussed them for a while.
Liu Wangxue finished a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and said, "Let's learn from history. No one should be so stupid now, right?"
"Sometimes some people may be forced to do so, and sometimes some people are probably really stupid." Xu Qingsong said with a smile.
When Liu Wangxue heard this, he said, "No way? D&L has found its target? Who is it? Which company?"
"I told you before that I worked at Lumina Technology. Do you remember?" Xu Qingsong still had a smile in his eyes.
"Yes, I remember." Liu Wangxue nodded. She later went to look up the company. "According to the news online, it was acquired by Xu Corporation a few years ago."
In a flash, she thought of something and asked Xu Qingsong, "They all have the last name Xu, right?"
Xu Qingsong didn't expect her thoughts to suddenly go in this direction. He was stunned for a moment, but still nodded with a smile.
“No way?!” Liu Wangxue once again saw the novel come true—once it happened to her, once when she went to Du Yunkai’s house, and once again now, “So you are… the fugitive prince of a chaebol family?”
What kind of metaphor is this? Xu Qingsong was amused by her and his smile deepened: "No."
Then the topic completely deviated, and he told Liu Wangxue about the "family history" of the past.
"Oh - so that's how it is." Liu Wangxue thought of the plot in the novel again, with a look of anticipation and excitement on her face. She leaned forward, stared at Xu Qingsong, and asked him, "Do you want to fight back and take back everything that belongs to you?"
Xu Qingsong looked up and knew that she might have played out eighty dramas in her mind at this moment. He stretched out a finger and poked her forehead with amusement, pushing her back to her seat: "Eat well, the drama you expect will not happen."
"Huh——" Liu Wangxue felt quite regretful. She would not be able to witness the rise of the decisive and ruthless overbearing CEO.
She had no choice but to change the subject and asked Xu Qingsong, "So D&L went to discuss cooperation with Luminance Technology?"
"We have only heard some rumors in the industry," said Xu Qingsong. "Lumen Technology's current CEO, Xu Han, is my cousin in terms of seniority, but a reporter did take a photo of him playing golf with Edwin. And there are also leaks that the cooperation terms offered by D&L this time are very tempting."
"If the rumors are true, then it's pretty much the same as your guess." Liu Wangxue asked curiously, "What kind of person is your cousin?"
What's the difference between this expression and asking directly "Is he a fool?" Xu Qingsong smiled, told her a few things that happened in college, and then concluded: "He is just a very ordinary person."
Then he added: "An ordinary person with average IQ and average ability."
Liu Wangxue felt a little sympathetic: "If he is tempted for a moment, won't he be in big trouble?"
Xu Qingsong sighed: "That depends on whether there is anyone around him who can give him advice. But even if there is, the key is whether he will listen to the advice."
