Zhao Mei's words were so shocking that even Huo Cailiang glanced over in surprise.
Du Hongzhe was stunned. After coming to his senses, he chuckled and said, "You should know why I rejected my previous company, right?"
Zhao Mei, having considered it carefully, was naturally not surprised by his question: "I know, but this is also a means of protecting your project. Of course, I also have my own selfish motives."
"It's true that your project is quite impressive, and no one would want to refuse this wonderful opportunity. However, the flip side of its appeal is that it's also dangerous."
"I guarantee you, if I give up investing in your project, your small studio will be disbanded immediately, and you'll be left holding onto your core technology with nowhere else to go."
"Since you know that the leaders are a pack of jackals, then you should also know that I'm right. These people would rather have no technological progress than not see such progress under their leadership."
Du Hongzhe is not stupid. How could a person who can push technology forward half a step be stupid?
But he lacks business acumen and has no idea what a bomb the technology he has is for today's society, so he is still hesitant.
Zhao Mei had also expected this. Combining her previous and recent impressions of Du Hongzhe, she knew that he was a research and development type of person. His family wasn't short of money, and the store he opened was based on his own interests. Naturally, he had a very superficial understanding of some business tactics.
Even though he directly refused to invest because of his knowledge of some bad reputations of the leading companies, Zhao Mei still felt that it was a bit naive.
But since the person is in her hands, she has no obligation to hand him over. He doesn't have to worry about all these miscellaneous things under her control and should just study it seriously.
"Don't hesitate. Although I want to buy your studio, the treatment I can give you is also top-notch, because I don't need the little money you earn."
Seeing Du Hongzhe's surprised look as she wished, Zhao Mei suppressed the urge to curl her lips and continued, "I don't even care about the money from your project."
I have to say, it feels great to be rich. After Zhao Mei felt happy, she looked at Du Hongzhe who still didn't understand and could only continue to click on him.
"First of all, although I am acquiring you, I will give you the greatest autonomy. To sum it up, I will only provide the money. If you don't believe me, we can sign a contract."
"Secondly, if your small studio doesn't have a stable backer, even if you persevere to the end and develop the game, you will face an all-round blockade from the top."
"I'll just mention one thing. Your Xianxian game is an online game, so what about your server? Setting up your own server is absolutely impossible with your current financial resources."
"Also, since this is new technology, have you considered how you're going to handle public opinion? If someone posts a few articles that are harmful to Xunxian, will you die or not?"
"The last thing is the headhunting company. In your small studio, there's always going to be family problems. When another company offers a high salary and a house, they'll leave."
"Even though the core of the team isn't in his hands, it wouldn't matter if one of them left. But what if they all left? What can a team with only you do? I think if you could really do it all by yourself, you wouldn't have set up this studio in the first place, right?"
Zhao Mei's continuous questioning left Du Hongzhe no room for rebuttal, because these were all facts.
He had no solution to any of the problems Zhao Mei raised. Even though he had strong technical skills, he could not deny that he still thought very simply when it came to human relationships and business.
Huo Cailiang, who was acting as a decoration on the side, put down the cup in his hand and said, "Boss Zhao is right. This is what I wanted to tell you. The reason I called Boss Zhao here today is that I also hope you can listen to a few more people's opinions. After all, if I told you this, you would definitely think I was joking."
After hearing these words, Du Hongzhe's mind became very clear. He stopped thinking and just raised his head.
"So can you guarantee that all of our struggles are worth it? Can we really trust you?"
Zhao Mei nodded. "Of course, I also know that you don't want to trust me because you've learned a lot of hard lessons before. It's not uncommon for people to be kicked out of the creative team after being acquired by a large company."
"But I can guarantee with my character that I wouldn't do such a thing. On the one hand, I don't need the money you can bring me. On the other hand, I can sign an agreement with you in Ming Zhao's name, so that both of us can be assured."
"how?"
Zhao Mei's assurance was undoubtedly a reassurance to Du Hongzhe. He only thought about it for a while this time.
"Since you've said so much, and I've formed a certain impression of you from Mr. Huo's side, and I know you're not the person I thought you were, then I'll trust you for once."
"I just need you to guarantee the absolute autonomy of our studio and the ownership of all patents for our technologies."
As long as he agrees, that's fine. Anyway, she's just envious of him being able to complete the task for her. Zhao Mei nodded perfunctorily.
"No problem at all."
"And about the people in our studio..."
Zhao Mei didn't really want to hear the rest of the miscellaneous additional conditions, so she just threw them to Huo Cailiang.
"Stop, you don't need to tell me anything else. Mr. Huo next to me is more professional than me in this area. Come on, talk to him."
Du Hongzhe was stuck for a moment, and Huo Cailiang just stroked his forehead and took over the topic without any surprise.
The two of them quickly entered into a normal, harmonious and efficient communication atmosphere, and drafted the rules that both parties should follow one by one.
When Zhao Mei was about to fall asleep, she heard several knocks on the door.
Huo Cailiang let the three people in, and Zhao Mei realized that this was actually the company's legal department. When did her company, which was so big, have a legal department?
However, at this time it had become a communication meeting for five people. Zhao Mei was just listening on the side, and no one cared about her opinion.
I don’t know how long it took, but Zhao Mei looked up from her phone in a daze, and the calm and serious voices of men and women seemed to still linger in her ears.
At this time, outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the president's office, the gentle afternoon of late autumn had transitioned to a cold night.
Zhao Mei tilted her head and stared at the neon lights outside the window, questioning her life and complaining about why it took so long to write such a crappy contract.
But she didn't have to wait any longer. Suddenly, a neat sentence "Happy cooperation!" came into Zhao Mei's mind, making her eyes light up immediately.
At the same time, there was an extremely unexpected system announcement.
