Jester read the text in his hand very carefully, and as he read it, his face showed a different look.

Sometimes frowning, sometimes nodding, sometimes smiling.

Claudia just sat quietly across from him, taking a sip of Martini from time to time, and the expression on Jester's face didn't change in the slightest, no matter what look appeared on her face.

It's still that faint smile.

It took more than an hour for Jester to finish the last page of the text, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, he first closed the jiàn clip, then looked up, and then looked at Claudia across from him.

Seeing Claudia's calm demeanor, Jester was a little moved.

His eyes flickered for a moment, and he just wanted to say something, but it seemed that he suddenly thought of something, hesitated slightly, and was silent for a few seconds before he spoke: "The words are very beautiful." This is a very nonsensical sentence, especially when it is said at this time, it is very offensive and embarrassing to hear.

Just imagine, if a person asks you to read his article, and you don't talk about the content of the article after reading it, but directly say that the words are beautiful, then the hidden meaning is not also clearly visible.

But Claudia's face did not show the slightest dissatisfaction, she still had that faint smile, she listened to Jester's words, did not get angry, just nodded slightly.

"I've practiced since I was a child."

Jester muttered and organized his words, the plan that the other party had just shown him, to be honest, really moved him, the other party was very clear about his position, and he was also very brave to take risks.

Moreover, the dominance of this company in the future is also in their own hands.

In this plan, in the European branch of the future popular publishing company, he will own 75% of the shares, and the other party will account for 25%, and the other party will also inject 4 million pounds at the same time, of course, he will also inject capital according to the proportion, the other party will be responsible for the formation of the company's publishing network throughout Europe, and he only needs to provide the rights to the game.

Moreover, the other party has obviously done a lot of research on the video game industry before, not only its own, but also the cases of Nintendo, Sega, and the declining Atari have references.

After the post-war reconstruction of Europe, coupled with the economic take-off, Western Europe, especially Western Europe, was not inferior to the United States in terms of development, and in order to confront the high welfare of the Soviet Union and enhance its own institutional superiority, the high welfare of Western Europe made Americans extremely envious.

In this article, I very much agree with the model that Jester is implementing in the United States to build a logistics center with the state as the core, build a flagship store with the central city as the core, and other regions to build an agent franchise store, of course, the other party has also made many modifications according to the different conditions in Europe.

After all, the European Union is not yet in existence, and not all places in Europe are suitable for promoting video games.

Therefore, the initial channel formation only revolves around the three countries of the United Kingdom, France and the Federal Republic of Germany, and then radiates to the whole of Europe with these three countries as the core.

In fact, these three countries basically represent the most developed regions in the whole of Europe.

Moreover, because those four games have already been represented by Sega, Claudia put the games that the company was going to release in the future after Sega, because it could get the popularity that Sega helped promote for free.

After all, Sega is just an agent.

The initial release of the game Claudia's plan has been released in Japan, not yet in the United States Pokemon pet machine, which she is very optimistic about, she made a prediction as a player of this small handheld machine, she thinks that this small electronic handheld toy, will definitely sell in Europe, just like in Japan, of course, the first game is also the "Guild Wars City" that she just came with "GAME".

Even, Claudia has a suggestion, that is, to sell "GAME" to Europe as well.

The text is very detailed, and Jester reads it very seriously, and he agrees with most of it, especially "GAME", which he originally formed to build into an authoritative game publication in the world.

If he only had the intention of cooperating with Claudia before, then now, after reading this detailed article, he really wants to cooperate with the other party.

"To be honest, I can't think of an excuse to veto this article."

After thinking about it for a long time, Jester finally spoke, and this time he went straight to the point, instead of talking about him, "I have another question, Claudia, I heard you say that your father only gave you four million pounds in addition to the shares in this restaurant, a winery and a luxury company, and the amount of money you invested in my cooperation this time is also four million pounds, I want to know, why are you so confident in an industry that is not yet clear?" If it's an arcade machine, I can understand it, after all, I've proven success in the United States, and it's not the arcade machine you want to work with, but the home machine that I'm not sure will succeed. ”

Claudia chuckled, lightly pursed her lips, and said lightly: "Mr. Li, the Atari shock destroyed the video game market in the United States, not Europe, don't you see how prosperous Nintendo's new game consoles are selling in Japan?" ”

"Understood."

Jester nodded, Claudia's words were also a reminder to him, but what he had thought before was a little off.

It is true that the Atari shock destroyed the world video game industry, but the problem is that in this era, only the United States can call video games an industry. As for Japan, before FC was really popular, video games were far from an industry for them.

As for Europe? Their development in the video game industry is far inferior to that of Japan right now.

If Japan today is compared to the pioneer period of video games, then Europe is not even a barbaric period, as for the United States? Hehe, this is the wasteland period after being destroyed by a nuclear bomb.

For Jester, rebuilding civilization in the wasteland is a long way to go.

"I'd love to give you an answer right now." Jester said after a moment of silence, tapping his fingers on the table as he spoke, it had almost become a subconscious habit of his, and every time he made this action, it meant that he had actually made a decision in his heart.

But Jester's voice changed, and he continued.

"Originally, the cooperation was as fast as possible, after all, the construction of the channel takes a lot of time, and my home console release is scheduled for the end of the year, but the formation of a huge distribution company is not a play after all, it involves a huge investment of tens of millions of dollars, I still have to decide to go to the UK to see it in person, I got the news from Sega here, the European version of my four arcade games will be officially released at the end of this month, I heard that the pre-sale sales are not bad, but you have sold more than 10,000 units in the UK, And I have some other things to deal with in the UK, and we will talk about it in the UK when the time comes. ”

Although Jester did not refuse, Claudia was disappointed by the wording that did not agree immediately, but the disappointed look was only fleeting, after all, looking at Jester's statement, he had already preliminarily agreed.

So she could only nod her head and signal that she could.

"Actually, don't be disappointed, I also have a card game in the process of making zuò, which is very suitable for release in Europe, the mathematical modeling has been completed, but the composition needs to be completed until the end of the month, when I will bring it to the UK together, believe me, this card game, will definitely be successful." Jester, who had been carefully observing the other party, keenly caught the fleeting disappointment in Claudia's eyes, he thought about it for a moment, and still said something that could be considered comforting.

Actually, that's what Jester really thinks.

One of the most important things he did ignore when building this game was - this is a game based on the gameplay of the future "BANG", and the historical background has been redesigned, the problem is that in the original version of the card, there is no United States in terms of power, although Europe and the United States are one, but if you want to release a card game in the United States that is not directly related to them at all, there is still a great risk of failure.

So, after careful consideration, Jester decided to place the card game's first launch in a place that matched its setting.

Although Britain is not the initial power, they belong to Europe after all, and they have a high acceptance of European history, and the first expansion of the power to pack out the British power is also in line with the background and development trend of this card game.

And now that the Olympics are coming to an end, my grandfather's mainland investment group is also scheduled to leave in the next few days, the charter flights are all set, and I have to accompany him, so the time to go to the UK can only be set after returning from the mainland, just a rough calculation of my itinerary in the mainland, the time to go to the UK can only be moved to the beginning of next month, but at that time, the design of this card game was completed, and the time was also just right.

Jester is also happy with this.

"Card games?" Claudia's face showed a somewhat puzzled look, she unconsciously raised her delicate eyebrows, and asked in some surprise, "You are talking about playing cards?" "The world's first truly modern card game was Magic in the early '90s, and when people talk about card games today, the biggest thing that comes to mind is poker.

Jester smiled after hearing this: "If it's a poker card, how can I explain it specially?" All in all, it's a very special card game, which I designed myself, and it's very interesting. Jester didn't want to say it very clearly, he just briefly introduced two sentences.

With that, Jester stood up.

This time, he took the initiative to extend his hand and said to Claudia with a smile: "I am looking forward to seeing you in the UK next month, and I am looking forward to us being able to truly become partners." ”

Claudia also stood up, and the smile on her face became a little richer when she heard Jester's words, and she stretched out her white palm to shake it with Jester.

"I'm looking forward to it too."
