Chapter 151: Convenient Noodle Talk
"Okay, then I'll wait for you at Tomson First Class." Lu Jingyao's tone was full of helplessness.
After Xu Youyou hung up the phone, she still felt strange. Lu Jingyao was always brief and to the point, but why was he speaking so dryly now? It was as if he was the kind of person who would force himself to say a few words even if there was no topic to talk about.
This thought just flashed through Xu Youyou's mind for a moment before being put behind her. She continued to immerse herself in the manuscript of Mr. Zhang's book review.
Xu Youyou still took a private plane on her return trip, but this time she had a lot of luggage. She asked someone to pack all of the old man's manuscripts and bring them back to Shanghai.
Not long after the plane took off, someone found the shantytown in the old alley.
"What did you say? Your father is gone? Where are his room full of books?" The person who was speaking was of the same generation as Mr. Zhang, but because he had been pampered for many years, he looked much younger than the deceased Mr. Zhang.
Whether it was his meticulously combed back hair, his well-tailored tailored coat, or the expensive watch on his wrist, he looked so out of place in this dirty and messy alley.
The middle-aged man who had blackmailed Xu Youyou before looked at the watch on the old man's hand with envy, and explained with his neck shrank: "Uncle Wang, I sold all the things my father left behind."
"Sold it? Are you so short of money?" Wang Qianshu's voice suddenly became higher.
Middle-aged man: "I think the price is right..."
Wang Qianshu was so angry that he almost fainted. He had only been abroad for a week of academic exchange, but who knew that he had already been cremated and all his belongings were gone. He couldn't hold back his composure and cursed, "Do you know what you sold? You loser!"
The middle-aged man still felt aggrieved. He started cursing as soon as he arrived and didn't even pay the gift money. He spat fiercely at Wang Qianshu's back as he left angrily: "Stingy guy, you still want to take advantage of my dad? Dream on!"
The car drove all the way back to Tomson First Class. The housekeeping aunties had already filled the bathtub with water and even lit the incense.
Someone is already waiting at home.
Xu Youyou packed up the important belongings she carried with her by herself and handed the rest to the nanny. The professional document photocopier she had ordered earlier also arrived. Without letting anyone else use it, she personally photocopied a version of the manuscript and handed it to Lu Jingyao.
Lu Jingyao was overjoyed.
After Xu Youyou took a shower and washed away her tiredness, Lu Jingyao was still staying in the small reception room of her house, staring at the photocopied manuscript intently.
Lu Jingyao suddenly asked: "Has Peter contacted you recently?"
Xu Youyou was stunned for a moment before she remembered who this person was. When she was abroad, she invested in a gaming company. In order to purchase shares, she also borrowed Lu Jingyao's negotiation team.
After returning home, Peter would contact her occasionally, but he was like a son going to college. Every time he took the initiative to contact his parents, he had only one thing in mind: to ask for money.
Xu Youyou made several more transfers afterwards, and her investment increased from 20 million US dollars to 50 million US dollars. Her shares also increased a bit, but she never saw any results. If she hadn't known that Peter had been successful in his previous life, Xu Youyou would have almost thought that she had encountered a pig-killing scam.
"Peter's game was launched three days ago." Lu Jingyao said.
Xu Youyou looked down at her phone and found out that about five days ago, Peter sent her an email telling her that the game was about to be launched.
"Although it has just been launched, the user retention rate is very high. It is now spreading like wildly on foreign social media. The last game to achieve such results was "Island Survival" three years ago," said Lu Jingyao.
Xu Youyou seemed to have heard of this game. At that time, she was busy working and studying, but the classmates around her seemed to be crazy about playing it.
Lu Jingyao explained the popularity of this game in a more popular way: "The highest monthly revenue of "Island Survival" was 160 million US dollars."
Xu Youyou:!!!
Lu Jingyao continued, "My company is preparing to strive for the exclusive domestic agency rights for this game."
Xu Youyou immediately asked: "Do you want me to help you connect?"
Lu Jingyao nodded gently: "If you are willing, it would be great."
He also thought about getting a share of the plan when he was abroad, but because Xu Youyou brought it up first, he was afraid that if both parties joined in at the same time, Peter would take the initiative, so he did not take any action.
Xu Youyou's cell phone suddenly dinged.
She received another email, which turned out to be from Peter.
"You don't have to talk to Peter. He just sent me an email asking me to be responsible for the domestic agency matters." Xu Youyou said.
Lu Jingyao didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.
"I don't know anything about games, so you can just make a bid." Xu Youyou said casually.
Lu Jingyao immediately became serious and said, "Business is business, and personal relationships are personal relationships. They can't be mixed together."
Xu Youyou was troubled. She had never played many games in her two lifetimes. She only knew that this game was very popular, but she had no idea about the market situation. It seemed that it would not be easy to find professionals in the short term.
Although she had intended to give Lu Jingyao a favor just now, she believed in Lu Jingyao's character and knew that he would definitely not give her a low price.
Lu Jingyao suggested: "Why don't I talk to Xie Ran about this."
Xu Youyou's eyes lit up. In her eyes, Xie Ran was a hexagonal warrior, and there was nothing he could not handle.
Xie Ran returned to Shanghai earlier than Xu Youyou. He lived nearby and arrived at the door in 20 minutes.
Xie Ran did not disappoint Xu Youyou's expectations. He was quite knowledgeable about the gaming industry and tried to speak in a non-subjective tone: "There are currently two giant game agents in the domestic gaming industry. One is Qihang Games under the Lu Group, and the other is Xingyao Games under the Star Diamond Group. Although some other small agents are backed by big companies, their promotion efforts in the gaming industry are not as strong as these two."
When Xu Youyou heard the word "Star Diamond", she immediately frowned and said, "Star Diamond is not under consideration."
As soon as she finished speaking, her cell phone rang.
"Hello, Miss Xu. I'm Li Huairen, Director of the Overseas Game Department of Xingyao Games. I want to discuss with you the domestic agency rights for the game "Peak Battle". Are you in Shanghai now? Would it be convenient for us to meet at 10 a.m. tomorrow? The location is set in the large conference room on the 15th floor of Xingyao Building. I hope you remember to come."
Xu Youyou frowned slightly. The other party's tone seemed polite, but there was a sense of refusal in his words.
"Not interested." Xu Youyou replied.
"Ms. Xu, you may not have heard clearly. We are Xingyao Games, backed by Xingzuan Group. In China, no one has offered a higher price than our company..."
Before the man finished speaking, Xu Youyou hung up the phone, turned to look at Xie Ran, and said, "I reject Xingyao's offer. Please talk to Mr. Lu."
Xie Ran said in a hoarse voice: "You don't even ask the price?"
Xu Youyou said in a matter-of-fact tone: "There's nothing to ask. I won't sell him to anyone else."
Xie Ran felt like there was a ball of wet cotton stuck in his throat. Xingyao was a giant in the domestic gaming industry. If it weren't for the disputes between him and Xingyao's parent company, Xingzuan, Xu Youyou would definitely not have refused so straightforwardly: "Thank you..."
Xu Youyou patted his shoulder vigorously and said, "Why are you being so polite to me? Your enemy is my enemy! Even if I lose money by giving up the agency rights, I won't sell it to Xingyao!"
