Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

"President Lin, the Seven Days City project is the culmination of NetEase's hard work."

"The first month's revenue exceeded 6000 million, and the income was also good, making it a successful project."

"There were actually a lot of internal disputes regarding the transfer of this project. It's just that Qin Nan has a good relationship with your company, and there were also project adjustments within NetEase."

"President Ding just asked us to come and talk, but before we talk, we would also like to inquire about Xinghuo's acquisition intentions."

"For a game that has generated over 6000 million in revenue, does a price of 3 million seem a bit stingy to your company?"

Lin Li glanced at the executive who had spoken.

With his words, the balance of the negotiations shifted slightly in NetEase's favor.

"May I ask you are?"

"I am Chen Lei from NetEase Games."

"Oh, I've never heard of it."

"..."

"Although I've never heard of you before, what you said has made me understand a principle."

"The reason why NetEase is no good is because of executives like you. Don't you know what the situation is like during the Seven Days event? If you don't, let me explain it to you."

Lin Li's tone gradually became serious.

As someone who built Spark Games from scratch, it would be a stretch to say that Lin Li possesses an aura of dominance.

But anyone in the gaming industry would face this situation with its numerous competitors.

To some extent, one will feel a strange sense of awe.

As the saying goes, a person's reputation is like a tree's shadow.

It's like someone in e-commerce meeting Jack Ma and starting to share their e-commerce experience.

No matter where you are, everyone else will immediately quiet down.

The reason why an ever-victorious general is so imposing is because of his illustrious military achievements.

Chapter 269 Let the Bullets Fly

Spark Games has been around for less than two years.

But within the industry, especially in the ACG (Anime, Comics, and Games) sector, this is already quite remarkable.

If not.

When Lin Li first stood up to leave, the reaction of NetEase and others was not surprise, but anger.

It is precisely because of Linli's "status" in the industry.

This made others feel that Lin Li could be a little willful, and that he had the "right" to leave if they couldn't reach an agreement.

It's something mysterious, but it definitely exists.

In summary, it can also be described as aura.

When others comment on NetEase's Seven Days City, Hu Peng will most likely directly rebuke them, saying, "You don't know anything!"

Lin Li will provide his comments.

They didn't dare say that; they could only listen for now.

"Do you really think Xinghuo is a sucker? 60 million in revenue in the first month? Why don't you mention the revenue in November?"

"Don't you know the current state of the Seven-Day Capital?"

"Do you really think I'm unaware of the Seven-Day Capital's disadvantages?"

"The reason you're here is because you think multi-playthrough games don't fit the current market, right?"

"If this project team were put in the hands of NetEase, it would be a complete waste of time and energy!"

"I only made the offer because I felt it was a pity."

"Don't think that just because I have ideas to make the Seven-Day Capital better, I can take advantage of you."

“My money didn’t grow on trees. Without me, if you continue operating, this project will definitely die within two years.”

Lin Li was very certain of the result, and after speaking, he tapped the table twice.

"I have all your transaction data."

"The reason I gave you a quote is because I don't think you can do it. Since you can't do it, I might as well give it a try."

"If you're willing, 3 million RMB plus the first month's revenue will be enough to offset your initial investment."

"If you're not willing, then forget it. If your project loses money in two years, I can use this material for amusement when I publish my memoirs."

"Back then, it was you short-sighted people who stubbornly refused to sell, turning a potentially profitable project into a loss-making one."

Throughout the entire conversation, Lin Li maintained a calm tone.

He even made a joke at the end.

The tone sounded playful.

But the more things went this way, the more NetEase employees felt at a loss.

Before they arrived.

They came here with the intention of trapping Xinghuo.

But now it seems that Xinghuo attaches great importance to the Seven-Day Capital, yet it also seems that it doesn't attach that much importance to it.

After Lin Li finished speaking, he reached for the soda water in front of him and started drinking it by himself.

The executive named Chen Lei stood there speechless for a full half minute after hearing what was said.

Half a minute later, Hu Peng's counterattack finally arrived.

He was already angry.

Seeing Lin Li's directness, he stopped pretending and expressed his opinion directly, with a hint of rebuke.

"Hehe, Lin Li, Lin Li, you're really good with words. You've said so much, just to try and lower the price."

"Unfortunately, you're mistaken. A few hundred million is nothing; NetEase can afford to lose that much!"

"If you want the Seven Days Capital, it's a flat price of 500 million. If you can afford it, then take it. If you can't, then stop pretending to be a big shot here."

Upon hearing this, Lin Li flew into a rage.

What a courageous person.

"Five hundred million? You guys are delusional. Haha, with your level of skill, this game won't even make five hundred million by the time it shuts down."

"If we don't make money, that's our problem, it's none of your business," Hu Peng said angrily.

"It's alright, then you can leave." Lin Li sneered.

In the blink of an eye, thunderous noise erupted in the conference room, turning it into a chaotic mess.

To tell the truth.

Neither side's representatives expected the situation to develop this way.

Who negotiates like this?

To the end.

Lin Li simply took the soda water from his hand.

"If you don't want to talk, then don't. Show him out. I'll stay until the day Seven Days City shuts down."

After saying that, Lin Li stood up abruptly and left without the slightest hesitation.

Hu Peng was stunned, and the rest of the NetEase executives were even more surprised.

this..

Are you really leaving?

Then their next idea was...

What did we come here for? To get scolded?

But if you get scolded and still don't close the deal, wouldn't it be a waste of the scolding?

~~~

The NetEase employees left with grim faces.

But Lin Li's face was full of smiles.

Lin Li could take the 5 million if he wanted, but there was no need for it.

3 million is a figure that Lin Li has carefully calculated. NetEase would not be interested in anything less than that, since it is not just the copyright and operation rights of a game.

Rather, it was a change in personnel throughout the entire studio.

Even though NetEase would lay off some of these people anyway, the core members are still very valuable.

And it exceeds this number.

Lin Li also felt it was unnecessary.

Just like the acquisition of DEWORK, when it comes to acquisitions, you can't just throw money at it; you have to use force to overcome skill.

Too low level.

Moreover, when people from NetEase appeared at Spark Games.

Lin Li knew that the acquisition was a done deal.

Because when NetEase decided to go to Xinghuo, Lin Li saw through all of NetEase's trump cards.

"Mr. Lin, NetEase wouldn't really refuse to sell out of anger, would they?"

He stood beside the forest.

Su Shanshan, who had listened to the entire process, expressed her doubts.

Upon hearing her question, the members of the Spark Negotiation Team behind her all had almost the same expression.

Upon hearing this, Lin Li did not reply, but instead slowed his pace and stopped.

They had now reached the 8th floor via the stairs.

It's right next to the corridor on the 8th floor.

Lin Li stopped in his tracks.

"Alright, that's enough for now. Let's wait here for a bit."

"What are you waiting for?"

Su Shanshan asked in confusion.

"Let the bullets fly for a while."

When Lin Li said this, no one else understood what he meant until, just as Lin Li finished speaking, one of the negotiation team members' phones rang.

"Yes, yes..."

"Okay, okay..."

The man answered the phone, replying while looking at Lin Li in surprise.

His expression was as if he had just witnessed Liu Qian performing magic in front of him.

His expression naturally aroused the suspicion of others.

Hang up the phone.

Others followed suit with their questions.

"Mr. Lin, the receptionist just called me back and said the NetEase negotiation team that went out earlier is back. They said they'll sign the contract according to our previous quote..."

This result left the senior executives of Xinghuo, who had participated in the entire meeting, completely dumbfounded.

What's going on?

Are all the people at NetEase masochists?
