The guiding robots are even more impartial and show no mercy.
They would block people from entering places they were told they couldn't, and wouldn't budge an inch no matter what anyone said.
Meng Xiu and the others who were receiving them said there was nothing they could do; the robot was programmed and they didn't have the authority to make it open back doors for strangers.
I'd especially like to see the three insiders from the Yunzhao special effects team: ...
This damn feeling of being targeted and restricted—on Yun Zhao's own turf, he really doesn't hold back at all, right?
Don't blame them for being anxious; they know exactly what the group is here for.
Even without knowing the full plan, one knows that one is about to cease to be human.
He might soon anger Yun Zhao and be kicked out at any time.
Therefore, they were eager to see what they were looking for, and no one knew how long they could stay there. They were afraid that they would miss the opportunity and come all for nothing.
But Yun Zhaofang was keeping a close watch on them and wouldn't allow them to take advantage of the situation.
"No way, we're here to exchange ideas. There's only so much in the film and television industry. We can't just be allowed to tour your building!" Someone exclaimed, blurting out most of their thoughts.
Meng Xiu maintained his smile: "Let's not talk about Yan Country anymore. Who in the world doesn't know that Yunzhao Special Effects Team uses the latest technology and is at the forefront of science and technology?"
"You come up here and want to see everything? Do you think we're fools?!"
"Exchanges are definitely mutual. What do you have to offer Yun Zhao for exchange?"
Although she was smiling, she spoke without any politeness.
So this is what it feels like to negotiate with confidence—no need to worry about the consequences, it's so comfortable.
Foreign delegation: ...
His face was extremely pale, unlike that of an ordinary person. In just two short years, the status of Yan Kingdom had changed compared to other countries.
In the past, would the Yan Kingdom have dared to treat them like this?
Yeah, if it were before... but now, it hasn't been good since I got off the plane.
The original plan was to have these three celebrities from the entertainment industry lead the way and test the waters, which is why the others remained silent.
As a result, they figured out the depth, but they also put themselves in a very difficult situation.
Before they could even react, they were already in an awkward position.
Peter then spoke up: "It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. It's just that Yun Zhao's technology is so advanced that it's beyond the reach of most people, which is why industry professionals are so eager to see it for themselves."
"Since this is an important place for Yun Zhao, it's really not appropriate to force anyone. Now that we've finished our tour, let's go discuss the program for this time!"
As expected, Hollywood people are used to being flattered. Logically, the most sophisticated people in the industry should be the most tactful, but they were so anxious that they needed him to bail them out. Enough already.
It's true, nothing goes smoothly when it comes to Yan Kingdom.
Oh, except for the two special people who were arranged to come in and successfully arrived in Yunzhao.
Meng Xiu was quite polite: "Yes, it's just too advanced. Even our own people can't just go in casually. It's really great that you all understand."
"This way, please..."
Everyone else followed, but the three in the circle were reluctant to leave, their faces ashen, but they had no choice but to follow.
Upon arriving at the conference room, Meng Xiu gave his assistant a wink, and the tea that Liu Yun had given him was served.
I guess they hadn't had a moment's peace, and they'd talked a lot in the car earlier, so they were thirsty. When they saw tea, they picked it up and drank it, regardless of whether they liked it or not.
Cook also wanted to take Joe's place, saying, "I just like coffee, thank you."
Meng Xiu turned his head and said, "Excuse me, this is a specialty of Yan Kingdom, specially brought out to entertain distinguished guests."
"In any case, since you've come all this way, you should at least try the taste. Next time, I'll have someone prepare coffee for you. However, Yan doesn't produce much coffee, so the quality might not be as good as yours. Please don't mind."
Mr. Liu said that just one sip is enough; the amount doesn't matter much.
I have to drink this one, no matter what.
Cook opened his mouth, but under Peter's gaze, he didn't say anything more, picked up his teacup and took a sip.
Hmm, it doesn't have much flavor. Coffee has a stronger flavor and tastes better.
At this moment, Cook was unaware that Meng Xiu's words were a form of warning: next time, just serve instant coffee and don't complain.
I don't know when it started, but even though we're on someone else's turf, we still insist on preparing their own good stuff for these so-called VIPs. They're spoiled. It seems like the good stuff they like is imported from abroad and then brought to us. Who knows how much it costs or how valuable it is?
Don't ask, the only answer is: don't you have any idea about the recent trade war?
Yun Zhao didn't have that much money to buy unnecessary things.
Seeing that they couldn't agree on anything, Meng Xiu watched as everyone took a sip, then got down to business. He subtly glanced at Judy and Warren, and only felt relieved when he saw that the two of them had drunk quite a bit.
They entered the negotiation stage with full concentration.
Before that, Meng Xiu made no secret of having the foreign delegation select several assistants to help with meeting and negotiation minutes, organize materials, coordinate with them, and take charge of all subsequent itineraries.
If the other party cannot provide meeting minutes when requested, then Yun Zhao will naturally have to make the arrangements.
Then they would openly say that they hired them, charged them by the day, and deducted the payment.
Peter and the others were trembling as they held their water glasses. Although they didn't pay for it and weren't bothered by the expense, Yun Zhao's meticulousness made them anxious about the upcoming negotiations.
As expected, the subsequent negotiations proceeded amidst Yun Zhao's refusal.
Either Yan Kingdom won't allow it, or Yun Zhao is incapable of doing it.
Or they might ask in return, "Why does it have to be in Yan?"
For example, when it came to the choice of the competition venue, the foreign delegation only mentioned considering setting it in Yan Country, and hadn't even mentioned Shennongjia yet, but Yun Zhao rejected it very decisively.
"If we're talking about danger and challenges, there are many more places around the world, and even more places with diverse species. Why choose Yan Country?" Meng Xiu asked calmly. "It doesn't align with Yan Country's current policies, and Yun Zhao can't do it."
Peter: ...You didn't even hesitate for a moment!
It seems there's really no room for maneuver.
To be honest, he really didn't think Yun Zhao was stupid; it would be amazing if he actually agreed.
Fortunately, their focus shifted, and they weren't so disappointed.
"The production team will cover the venue rental fee..."
Meng Xiu: "Is it because my English is bad? Or do you not understand me? Is this a matter of cost?"
"It would be best if the production team could pay us. I believe there are many people willing to earn that money. If you want to save that money, you can also give it a try. They would definitely flock to it."
"This show looks expensive, why not cut costs where possible?"
"Why does it have to be in Yan Kingdom? Do you all enjoy forcing people to do things against their will?"
If you won't listen to reason, then don't blame me for being harsh.
Peter: ...Since Yan Guo gained confidence, the difficulty level of negotiations has increased considerably.
The side profile really shows how tolerant she was before!
