"How's my story?"

Waiting for the appetizers, the main dishes were all eaten, and Claudia's own story was almost finished, and when she saw that Jester had just swallowed a piece of vanilla mousse as an after-dinner dessert, she asked with a smile.

Jester was silent for a moment.

To be honest, the story told by the other party still touched him very much, and he liked this kind of character who must be the first in everything.

He agrees with the famous saying that only the first can survive.

But now it's not a question of whether he likes it or not, it's that he wants to negotiate a cooperation agreement, and he wants to find someone who can help him build a whole sales channel in Europe, which cannot be chosen by his own likes and dislikes alone.

"Miss Robert." Jester thought for a long time, put down the silver knife and fork in his hand, then picked up the napkin on one side and wiped his mouth and put it aside, he looked up at the delicate face opposite, and said, "The dish is very good, I don't have a cliché, I believe you have also investigated my family before, and you know who my grandfather is." ”

Then, Jester's voice changed, and he said, "But, Miss Robert, I'm here to talk about cooperation, not to listen to your personal story, although your story is very good, if you want to work with me, you should know what I can come up with, the question is, what can you come up with?" ”

Claudia smiled, her hair was brushed, and she took a sip of Martini from her glass.

"Mr. Li, sometimes you do need to take a risk, and with all due respect, isn't it also risky for you to invest your whole life in video games now?" Claudia chuckled, her wrist holding the wine glass shook slightly, and suddenly, she leaned forward, staring at Jester motionlessly, and said in an unchanged tone, "If everyone went to work in this industry, would you have such a big reward?" ”

Jester certainly can't just say that he doesn't take a risk when he makes video games, but because he knows what the future holds for the industry, and he's good at it.

But Jester couldn't disagree with what the other party said.

After a deep groan, Jester's fingers subconsciously kept knocking on the heavy oak table, making one dull sound after another.

Claudia stopped talking, but sat quietly waiting for Jester's answer.

Five minutes later, Jester took a deep breath, and a faint scent of roses wafted through the air, which Jester had smelled before, presumably from the lady in front of him.

"You're right." Jester's tone was not as crisp as usual, his upper body leaned back slightly, his fingers crossed on the table, and said, "But please don't go in, please answer my initial question, what can you offer in our cooperation?" ”

As he spoke, Jester's eyes sharpened and his tone became stern.

"With all due respect, I need a collaborator who can facilitate us in Europe, not someone like you who is no longer able to get help from your family...... Deportees. ”

Hearing Jester's somewhat unpleasant words, Claudia's eyebrows furrowed, and the look of warm anger in her eyes flashed.

But she still couldn't bear it, she just showed a slightly mocking smile, and said: "Mr. Li, don't you know that ten years ago in Britain, no one would think that a woman could become a national leader?" ”

Jester only smiled contemptuously when he heard this, he straightened his neckline, looked directly at the beautiful woman in front of him, and said coldly: "Miss Robert, don't look down on yourself, first of all, you are not Margaret Thatcher, and secondly, I just want to know now what you can offer me." If your next answer doesn't satisfy me, then I'll have to leave, and although I'm very interested in exploring the European market, you can't impress me. ”

"Before answering this question, I would like to ask Mr. Li, do you want a publishing company of your own, or just a company that just publishes your games?"

As she spoke, Claudia stood up, she was one hundred and eighty centimeters tall, tall, with two white arms propped up on the table, her upper body bent down slightly, looking at Jester who was still sitting in her seat from a downward angle, her tone was still tinged with a hint of mockery, "If you just want a company that can only publish your game, then, you can go, I guess I'm wrong." ”

Hearing Claudia's words, Jester's expression moved, and he somewhat understood what Claudia meant.

And Claudia's expression changed slightly, and she also knew that her words had a role, so she continued: "To be honest, if I were to talk to you now as the Robert family, or someone else in the same capacity, even if we could reach a cooperation agreement, you would definitely not be the dominant party, but only the partner, I hope to make this clear before you know what I can do." ”

Jester nodded, and the other party was right.

If it is really some predators to talk to them about cooperation, although they can get a lot of convenience when their games are released in Europe, but this is not without a price, these predators are not willing to work for themselves, and they will inevitably win the dominance of the company, even if they can keep it at the beginning, they may not be able to continue to keep it in the future.

After all, he himself knows how profitable video games will be for him when his console comes out.

These people who can achieve predators will never let go of this piece of fat.

At that time, it is inevitable that the European company will split, or even be expelled, which is why he has not agreed to further cooperation with Sega.

The issuing company cannot be controlled by others.

Of course, if you don't cooperate with these well-established predators, what is the difference between re-establishing a distribution channel by yourself?

Thinking of this, Jester frowned and glanced up at Claudia, who was looking at him with a downward gaze, with a slightly mocking smile on his face, waiting for him to reply.

"Ahem...... Jester coughed twice and groaned slightly before he spoke, "If you started from scratch and did it yourself, why should I cooperate with you?" Wouldn't it be nice if I found someone to do it myself? Besides, then again, why should I believe you have that ability? ”

Claudia straightened up, and when she heard Jester's words, she chuckled lightly, her face was full of confidence, and in a declarative tone, she said again the words she had said before that made Jester scoff: "Mr. Lee, don't you know that ten years ago in England no one would have thought that a woman could be the leader of the country?" ”

It was a very arrogant sentence, but Jester looked at the extremely confident woman in front of him, and did not have a trace of disobedience as before, and in his senses, this sentence matched Claudia's demeanor, demeanor, and tone of voice in the here and now, making him feel that she was stating an irrefutable fact.

"Go on." Jester only said two words.

Obviously, Claudia's eyes flashed with a strange light after Jester said those two words, and she knew that she was off to a good start, if not Jester—at least he was willing to listen to him.

"My plan ......" said as she turned around, gracefully walked to a table on the side, and took out a thick piece of text from the drawer, which was sandwiched by a light blue text clip, and the plastic translucent text clip was printed with some beautiful quaint patterns.

Claudia walked over to the table with the clip and handed it to Jester.

It wasn't until Jester took it that she sat down in her seat.

"That's my plan for a European distribution company." She saw that Jester didn't open it immediately after taking the Wen Jiàn clip, so she said directly.

"The text is beautiful." Jester didn't flip it open, but first admired the inconsequential things.

"Thank you, I designed it myself." Claudia nodded in acknowledgement, and there was nothing unusual in her eyes, as if she had expected this.

Jester smiled, he directly put Wen Jiàn on the table, he didn't look, but looked at Claudia with some curiosity, he asked in a somewhat strange tone: "This is not in a hurry, I have some questions, I want to ask, I don't think you are a person who is not cautious enough, nor is you a stupid person, but why did you take the initiative to talk about your own experience at the beginning and show weakness?" ”

The corners of Claudia's mouth curled up, revealing a smiling expression, and she said simply, "Because I'm already in a weak position." ”

"So......" Jester hesitated, and asked with some confusion, "why are you so strong in who invites this dinner?" You know, as a host, you are too strong, and you don't have the strength to match this strength. ”

Claudia's turquoise eyes blinked, and she said flatly: "The strength of the previous table is to enhance your confidence in cooperation, to make you feel that your partner is powerful and trustworthy, and at the same time, I also want to test how eager you are to form a European distribution company, I think, a person who can't even give in to who invites him to a meal, shows that this matter is not urgent for him." ”

"Then the show of weakness after that is to win sympathy?" Jester chuckled a little sarcastically.

"Nope." Claudia's tone was firm, and then she looked at Jester with a strange look, and her tone became like the one she had mocked her brothers before, and said, "Do you think I'm a woman who can only get promises by gaining sympathy?" ”

"Huh." Jester was still in that mocking tone, "I'm sorry, Miss Robert, I only know about you for this dinner, and as for what kind of woman you are, because I have too little contact, I can't make a specific evaluation, but I'm still curious, since you don't want to win sympathy, but you say that this is your show of weakness, then, don't you want to explain?" ”

Claudia chuckled, and she asked rhetorically in a somewhat strange tone: "Does Mr. Lee want a partner who cheats on me, and not an open and honest partner?" ”

Jester's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light when he heard this, and he once again took a closer look at the faint smile on the face in front of him, exuding the smell of roses, and after a few seconds of silence, he suddenly spoke.

"I'll see your plan first."

After hearing Jester's words, Claudia's delicate face still had that faint, confident smile.
