Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

Lin Li was quite confident about this.

No matter what, Xinghuo is a Chinese company. You can't use an American sword to kill a Chinese company.

But I don't know why.

Even when he actually met a sweet baby, Lin Li still got goosebumps all over.

Fortunately, I am in China.

Spark's two major bases, China and Japan, are unlikely to be eroded by the diversification efforts in Europe and America.

In addition, he has the water of Honghu Lake.

Moreover, the game sales industry is actually very similar to football; as long as the product is good enough, everything else is just a paper tiger.

In its previous life, Black Myth was suppressed and beaten in Europe and America.

But it still sold out in the end.

Moreover, after the products sold out, the pressure shifted to the media outlets that had initially put pressure on Black Myth.

Chapter 360 Refusal

"You mean he explicitly rejected you? You didn't even get to see him? He didn't leave you any room for negotiation!?"

Sweet baby.

headquarter.

A spacious office, the air thick with a stifling atmosphere.

In the center of the office was a large mahogany table, on which, besides a few documents, lay a slightly steaming cup of coffee and a cigar.

Emmett picked up the cigar from the table, squeezed it gently, and then fell into thought.

And opposite him.

It was none other than the "freak" Horney Lawson who had been turned away at Spark America that morning.

Back at headquarters, although Horney was still wearing a dress and makeup, she spoke in a normal tone.

"Yes, BOSS, I'm sure they reported to Lin Li, but in the end they just kicked me out."

When Horney spoke to Emmett, his tone was somewhat weak.

He is like many others.

I got into this company because of the L*BT brand.

Despite Sweet Baby's public image as a company that supports equality and L*BT, none of its top executives are actually L*BTs.

When Horney was facing these truly important figures.

They also felt no sense of equality whatsoever.

All that exists is the enslavement of capital.

"Should I go again tomorrow, Boss...?"

Emmett glanced at him, immediately swallowing back Horney's words, and then placed the cigar in her hand on the cigar rack.

Only then did he slowly begin to speak.

"Go again? Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?"

Horney dared not look up again, and Emmett then continued speaking.

"Do you remember what I said when you joined the company?"

Like many people in positions of power, Emmett often used the phrase, "Do you remember what I said?" as a catchphrase.

People like Emmett, who have been at a high position for a long time, are bound to develop illusions.

I always feel like what I say is like a royal decree.

Everyone should remember this.

But actually.

This is just a trick they use to enjoy authority and a test of obedience.

After saying this, Emmett didn't wait for Horney's reply, but instead tapped the table lightly with his hand, making a dull sound.

"Have you seen the reports about the Alex incident from a few days ago?"

As someone who makes a living from this, Horney naturally knew about Alex and Zoe's situation, but he actually went to find out the details.

"Boss, I've been told I need to meet Lin Li, but time is tight. I've been looking into things related to Xinghuo these past few days..."

"No need to explain, I didn't read it, but I did read the report."

Lin Li used his water army to disperse Zoe.

The public opinion was turned around again, and at first glance, the whole thing seemed to be done flawlessly.

But as time goes by.

Many people also noticed something was amiss. People like Emmett saw it immediately: Spark had taken control of a grassroots propaganda hub.

“Spark is not a lamb to the slaughter. They have globally renowned intellectual property, a platform, ample funding, the ability to make their voice heard, and a good relationship with the Los Angeles authorities.”

Horney didn't quite understand why Emmett was saying all this. Was it because of his own failure that he had given up?

"So, should we let Starfire go, Boss?"

Emmett did not answer the question.

Instead, he asked a question in return.

"Do you know what the profit model results were for Xinghuo during the first half of this year, which was six months?"

"It's okay if you don't know, I'll tell you, it's $14 billion."

For Sweet Baby, gaming companies are their targets for extortion; the question is, how much money can they extort?

It's something that requires deep computation.

It's also a technical skill.

You need to make the other person feel pain, but not too much, otherwise they might grit their teeth, stomp their feet, and refuse to pay.

In that case, it's Sweet Baby herself who suffers the loss.

Therefore, within the company, they have their own set of calculation methods, and the result of these calculations is that Spark has already earned $14 billion in the first half of the year.

Although this is only an internal calculation by Sweet Baby.

Emmett was unsure of the accuracy of this result.

But there was one thing he was very clear about.

That means that Steam's projected revenue at the same time was only $9 million.

no doubt.

Spark is a fat sheep.

If anyone could bite off a piece of Xinghuo, even just a small bite, it would be enough to make their mouth water.

"I like conquering big companies. Although they are tough to take on, the rewards are huge once you do."

Honey nodded.

He was also very excited. If Emmett could really tear a piece of flesh off Starfire, then he could also get some soup.

"What does BOSS mean?"

Emmett's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and then he pulled a document from the table and handed it to Horney.

"Spark is not short of funds, but it is not without weaknesses."

“This is an exclusive piece of information from a Chinese friend of mine. I need you to verify it. If the information is true, then use this weakness to send a ransom note to Xinghuo.”

"Note that as long as they apologize for Zoe's incident and announce their support for L*BT, that's enough. Don't mention money."

"Let them feel that we are really extreme supporters of L*BT."

“As long as they apologize, Xinghuo is like a persimmon in our hands, which we can squeeze however we want.”

Upon hearing this, Horney looked up and glanced at Emmett.

I thought to myself, "Wonderful!"

Although I haven't read the document yet, upon careful consideration, it seems that if I don't want money, but only an apology...

Xinghuo is very likely to agree.

After all, there was no economic loss.

But as soon as Xinghuo apologizes, Sweet Baby can unleash a series of attacks.

You apologize.

This proves that you have accepted the values ​​of "awakening" and "pluralism".

So next, when Sweet Baby tries to sell you diversification advice again, will you accept it or not?

catch.

Then pay up.

If you don't accept it, you just apologized and said you would support diversity, but then you refuse Sweet Baby's help.

At this point, public opinion suddenly came under pressure.

Lying, dishonesty, and a whole host of other accusations were leveled against them.

Even if you don't die, you have to shed your skin.

"To catch a big fish, you need to cast a long line."

Emmett's gaze was extremely cold.

"Yes, Boss, I'll arrange it right away."

Horney turned to leave.

Emmett stopped him and said with a smile.

"Hey, wait a minute, Honey, come here and check under my table to see if anything's fallen down."

Hear this.

Honey paused for a moment, then spoke.

"Boss, I... I've become an assistant."

Emit was still smiling, but his expression was starting to show signs of impatience.

"I told you to come down below me and see if anything has fallen. What? Can't you understand what I'm saying?"

Honey instinctively clenched his fists, but in the end, he stiffened and crawled under Emmett's table.

Chapter 361 This move?

A few minutes later.

Honey went to the restroom.

After frantically rinsing his mouth, he hurriedly left the company.

After going outside, he took a few deep breaths.

Only then did I manage to barely put the scene from before out of my mind.

After opening the file folder and carefully reading the documents, Horney did not follow Emmett's instructions, or at least not completely follow Emmett's plan.

Even in Europe and America, extortion is something that can't be done openly.

Once exposed, or if it fails.

That would be a complete disgrace.

This is why Emmett entrusted the matter to Horney.
