Chapter 202: Chapter 202 Wei Haoran_1

"Haha, Mr. Shen, that remains to be seen." Li Zhengtai laughed heartily.

"What do you mean?" Shen Dong frowned slightly.

"Before you arrived, the person in charge of Penguin Games from Dragon Country had already come to see me," Li Zhengtai chuckled.

"What!" Shen Dong’s face changed.

He had rushed over as fast as he could, and had even gone out of his way to get a visa through connections, but still, he ended up running into Penguin Games.

This was the last thing he wanted to encounter.

Clearly, Li Zhengtai was sharing this piece of news to incite a bidding war between himself and Penguin Games, in order to drive up the agency fee.

It was identical to the tactic he had used when selling the Ghana Gold Mine Project before, where he had pitted three companies against each other in a bidding contest, and the price finally soared to one billion three hundred million.

Unexpectedly, this Li Zhengtai was using a trick Shen Dong had used himself.

This was going to be difficult.

After a moment of thought, Shen Dong asked, "Mr. Li, what kind of price do you want to give me the agency rights?"

Li Zhengtai smiled faintly, "Mr. Shen, there’s no need to hurry. Mr. Wei Haoran, the general manager of Penguin Games, should be arriving shortly. Let’s wait for him to come, then we can talk."

Shen Dong was helpless and could only wait.

He really had no choice, he couldn’t just walk away.

Soon after, Li Zhengtai’s assistant pushed the door open and said, "Mr. Li, Mr. Wei from Penguin Games has arrived."

"Please, have him come in quickly," Li Zhengtai said with a smile.

"Okay." The assistant left and soon came back with three people.

The man at the forefront was none other than Wei Haoran, the general manager of Penguin Games, accompanied by his assistant and lawyer.

"Mr. Wei, welcome, welcome," Li Zhengtai stood up to greet him and went forward to shake hands with Wei Haoran.

"Mr. Li, who are these gentlemen...?" Wei Haoran, noticing other people in the conference room, couldn’t help but look curiously at Shen Dong and his party.

Since they were all East Asians, he naturally couldn’t tell that Shen Dong and his group were from Dragon Country.

"Let me introduce them to you. This is Mr. Shen Dong, the boss of Dongyan Games from your Dragon Country, and he’s also interested in acquiring the agency rights for ’Survivor of the Abyss’ game," Li Zhengtai introduced them cheerfully.

Wei Haoran’s expression changed.

He wasn’t a fool; Li Zhengtai’s move was clearly meant to provoke a bidding war between them.

The crafty old fox!

Wei Haoran cursed inwardly and showed a smiling face to Shen Dong, "Hello, Mr. Shen, I am Wei Haoran, the general manager of Penguin Games."

Of course, he had heard of Shen Dong, not because Shen Dong was very famous, nor because of the Dongyan Guild and Shuidilao.

Someone like him, a corporate bigwig, wouldn’t bother with such matters.

But Shen Dong’s Dongyan Games had not only poached Fengyun Studio from under Penguin Games but also two of Penguin Games’ talents.

Therefore, he had someone investigate what Dongyan Games was and who was behind it.

This investigation led to Shen Dong, and that’s how Wei Haoran learned some basic information about him.

Of course, it was only superficial knowledge, such as Shen Dong being a major shareholder of Yikang Pharmaceutical; that hadn’t been discovered.

Shen Dong responded with a smile, "Mr. Wei, it’s a pleasure to meet you."

"Mr. Wei, please take a seat," Li Zhengtai gestured for Wei Haoran and his team to sit down.

On Shen Dong’s side of the long conference table, there were still some empty seats.

Wei Haoran didn’t stand on ceremony and sat down with his companions.

"Gentlemen, you both want the agency rights for our company’s game ’Survivor of the Abyss’ in Dragon Country. I won’t beat around the bush, whoever bids more will get the rights. Let’s have a fair competition," Li Zhengtai said amiably.

Shen Dong and Wei Haoran looked at each other, both silently cursing the sly old fox.

But what can we do? We can only bid.

Wei Haoran made the first offer, "I bid thirty million."

Shen Dong said, "Fifty million."

The system showed that Penguin Games had secured the distribution rights with forty million.

I added an extra ten million, Penguin Games probably won’t raise their bid, right?

Hearing this number, Li Zhengtai’s eyes lit up, and a smile spread across his lips.

The price exceeding forty million had already met his expectations.

Now Shen Dong had directly raised the bid to fifty million, which was ten million more than expected.

It seemed that letting the two of them bid was the right choice. When selling distribution rights to other countries in the future, I could use the same strategy to get a higher price.

Without hesitation, Wei Haoran continued to raise the bid: "Sixty million."

Shen Dong’s expression changed slightly.

Wasn’t it said that Penguin Games had won the distribution rights for forty million?

If they are willing to go so much higher, does Penguin Games still want to compete?

After some thought, Shen Dong figured it out.

Maybe, if he wasn’t competing, Penguin Games would have secured it for forty million.

Penguin Games clearly had high hopes for this game and were willing to pay a hefty price.

This was getting tricky.

Given the scale of Penguin Games, I really couldn’t compete.

They are backed by the Penguin Group, with very deep pockets.

Shen Dong gritted his teeth and said, "Eighty million."

Wei Haoran said calmly, "Ninety million."

At this, Shen Dong knew he couldn’t keep bidding like this. Otherwise, he would just be making it cheaper for Li Zhengtai, that guy from Zhenzi Country.

Can’t you see? The smile on Li Zhengtai’s face was getting thicker.

After thinking for a while, Shen Dong spoke up, "Mr. Wei, I think it’s almost lunchtime. Let’s not bid for now. How about we have lunch together first?"

His intention was clear, and Wei Haoran certainly understood. He didn’t want to be led by the nose by Li Zhengtai either, so he readily agreed, "Sure."

Now Li Zhengtai was anxious, "Gentlemen, it’s still early, only eleven o’clock. It’s not yet lunchtime. Let’s finish the bidding first, then go to eat. I’ll treat you to lunch, with the best food from Zhenzi Country."

How could he not see that the two men didn’t want to continue the bidding?

If they had a private conversation and formed an alliance, he probably wouldn’t get the advantage on the price.

Shen Dong said with a chuckle, "Mr. Li, I didn’t have breakfast. It’s okay to have an early lunch. Combining breakfast and lunch at this time is just right."

Wei Haoran echoed, "That’s right, I haven’t had breakfast either."

Shen Dong continued, "As for Mr. Li’s offer to treat us to the best Zhenzi Country cuisine, I think we can hold off for now. Let’s eat together after the deal is discussed. I am very happy to meet a compatriot like Mr. Wei in Zhenzi Country. I’d like to have a chat with him, so I will go and have lunch with him first."

Wei Haoran said, "I was thinking the same."

Afterward, Shen Dong and his group left the meeting room along with Li Zhengtai’s group.

"You..." Li Zhengtai, watching the backs of the two groups as they left, didn’t know what to say or how to retain them, helplessly watching them go.

"Mr. Li, they obviously want to discuss how to deal with us. What should we do?" a vice president asked.

"What else can we do? We can only see what price they come up with later." Li Zhengtai said with a wry smile.

What could he do? He couldn’t force them not to have lunch together.

Even if he prevented them from dining together, they could still communicate over the phone.
