Milo didn't know.

Just when he was feeling lost and confused.

The people at Spark America are also reviewing the situation.

"Did we just call each other's names?"

“…”

"what is it now?"

"What else can we do but play along?"

after one day.

Accompanied by Los Angeles police.

Spark America, Mino, and Honey met at a secluded hotel.

At this point, Mino had completely lost the arrogance she had shown on the phone.

soon.

Lin Li learned the whole story from Honey, including Sweet Baby's plan to take action against Spark and how she would do it.

Everything is made perfectly clear.

In the end, Xinghuo kept its promise.

Instead of taking the two to the police station, they were allowed to go home.

Spark even gave each of them ten thousand US dollars.

They were turned into corporate spies for Spark.

In the United States, extortion is illegal, but commercial espionage is not.

Honey and Mino glanced at the head of Spark, then at the policeman smoking outside the door.

You have to take responsibility for the stupid things you did.

at the same time.

That very evening, Spark made the announcement to the public.

In order to better serve European and American players, Spark is seeking to acquire GOG.

They also promised that once the acquisition is completed, GOG and the Spark platform will achieve full data interoperability, and Spark will not interfere with any of GOG's operational strategies.

The GOG platform will be operated using an A/B share structure to ensure its independence.

at the same time.

Spark also acquired a platform in Japan that sells indie games. Before the acquisition, the platform had annual revenue of less than one million yen.

However, after the acquisition, Spark adopted the same model as GOG.

This is the end.

The whole farce caused by Sweet Baby has come to an end.

Lin Li has already patched up the hole.

Although it wasn't completely filled in, because China is indeed very complex.

Even if Lin Li did these things, it would still be a very troublesome matter if it were exposed.

Fortunately, all Lin Li needs to do is provide an answer and convince outsiders that it is the correct answer.

This matter has been resolved.

It's already mid-August.

The entire Xinghuo team, especially the employees of "Xinghe Paradise," were incredibly busy.

the other side.

Sweet Baby headquarters.

It was still that spacious office.

In the shadowy corner, Emmett's eyes kept scanning Horney.

"You mean, Xinghuo easily broke through our defenses? Without paying any price?"

"I remember you didn't report it like this a few days ago?"

Emmett touched the coffee cup in his hand, but his eyes remained fixed on Horney.

At this moment, Horney was also very nervous. The matter with Starfire was too complicated. He had not only failed to gain any benefits from it, but had also gotten himself into trouble.

"I didn't mess it up on purpose, BOSS. It's just that Xinghuo is too shameless. They pretended not to see the extortion letters we sent before, but they secretly made countermeasures behind the scenes."

"By the time we realized what was happening, it had already turned into this."

"Honey said."

He even showed Emmett the extortion letters he had sent.

By this time, Horney had already established communication with Starfire, so he could naturally forge some letters.

Emmett glanced at it, then tossed the phone back.

"Who gave you permission to extort Xinghuo? How come I didn't know about this?"

The mission has failed.

Emmett could no longer admit to these things.

However, whether he admits it or not, the plan did fail, and Emmett felt some regret.

This shouldn't have been entrusted to Horney; the plan was so simplistic, it was like stabbing someone directly in the chest.

Even such a simple plan can go wrong.

She then found other things to indirectly criticize him, and after hurling her grievances, Emmett finally caught her breath.

Strictly speaking, this was about instructing Horney to do this.

Emmett wasn't too confident either.

It was done with a try-it-and-see attitude, just in case it succeeded.

Moreover, it involves illegal activities such as extortion.

Emmett really didn't pay much attention to what Horney was doing, and therefore, even if you gave him a hundred heads, he would never believe that Horney, who was standing in front of him at this moment, already had a dual identity.

After a long while, Emmett took another deep breath.

"Alright, let's just leave it at that..."

Seeing that he had successfully passed the test.

Logically, Horney should have just said something casually and left the office.

However, he subconsciously asked this question.

"So what's next? Should we still deal with Starfire?"

"Of course! I'm determined to take this piece of the pie, Spark. If all else fails, I'll use the old methods..."

Chapter 369 Fatty Meat

For Emmett...

He was determined to get his hands on Xinghuo, this lucrative opportunity.

The reason for such persistence is that Sweet Baby's internal power structure is very interesting.

A normal company makes a profit either through its products or its services.

However, Sweet Baby relies on intimidation.

Essentially.

Sweet Baby doesn't actually bring any benefits to customers; it's just a protection racket. If you don't pay protection money, Sweet Baby will use the media.

Or cause trouble in other ways.

This peculiar "production" model also makes Sweet Baby's revenue structure very simple.

It is a typical "salesperson" model.

Sweet Baby provides the tiger skin, and its sales representatives are responsible for going out and intimidating people. As long as a company believes your lies and actually pays money, you can enjoy a share of the profits.

Don't let Emmett's position as a senior executive in the company fool you.

Logically, he is also a "salesperson," but because he is a founding employee of the company, he receives a higher commission.

This allows them to build their own "sales" team.

But no matter what.

Emmett is also a "salesperson," and as a salesperson, he has to find ways to attract business.

With Sweet Baby's first round of expansion in 17 and 18.

Most American game companies have been practically wiped out, with the authorities trying to squeeze more money out of them.

We'll have to wait at least another year.

You can't keep collecting protection money forever.

The problem is, Sweet Baby has so many people to support, they need to eat, right?

So many people turned their attention to Europe and overseas. Emmett had bad luck during this period, and started late, so he didn't get many clients.

Therefore, while others in Europe were already indulging in meat feasts.

Emmett's business is still limited to North America.

People are more likely to die than others.

You have to throw it away when comparing things.

The same principle applies everywhere. As Sweet Baby flourished internally while Emmett achieved nothing, some discussion naturally arose.

Emmett needs a big order to prove himself.

spark.

That's the big order he chose.

Of course, dealing with Starfire is no easy task.

It would be very difficult for Emmett alone.

To acquire Xinghuo, we need to hire more people and utilize the company's resources.

The more people you invite, the more people will share the pie.

This is what's bothering Emmett.

Emmett felt a little annoyed at the thought that he would have to share the fruits of his hard work with others.

However, he was still confident in taking down Xinghuo.

This group of people stayed in the office, with nothing to do all day but look for loopholes and companies that were easy to extort.

In this process.

Emmett believed he had found two weaknesses in Spark.

One of them is media promotion.

"Go contact IGN, and those other gaming media outlets..."

Emmett wanted to blackmail Spark.

The most important thing is to bring the media to your side.

In fact, the media has always been a partner and the biggest collaborator in Sweet Baby's extortion strategy.

Sweet Baby's biggest marketing cost each year is advertising.
