The latest person to negotiate with Liu Neng is called John Li, but this is his own name translated into Chinese. According to the American name, it should be called John Lee.

Unlike the project leader like Abel, John Li is one of the few senior executives in the entire storm company and has relatively large decision-making power. The two of them met for the fifth day in California. Although there are not many things, he is not familiar with the people here, and he is a little anxious.

John Li and Liu Neng barely exchanged pleasantries, and after a simple hello, they went straight to the point.

Li obviously rejected Liu Neng's request:

1. The image of the game profession can be used, but it is not allowed to make a profit;

2. The affairs of the e-sports league are led by Storm Company, and if Liu Neng is willing to do so in Huaxia's company, he can give his opinion; However, whether the specific opinions are accepted or not needs to be considered and decided by the storm company;

3. There is no doubt that the e-sports league cannot hold a separate event, and it must be a unit of the current league event;

4. The authorization method of Dota Map is not only the agency right, but the comprehensive transfer of copyright; Leaving aside the domestic in China for the time being, the copyrights and agency rights of all overseas versions belong to Storm Company;

5. The cost of the authorized adaptation right as an image is exactly offset by the authorization of Dota Map.

Obviously, John Li didn't take Liu Neng and his company too seriously, as for the current "folk" circulation of his Dota map, in Li's opinion, they are all pediatrics.

John Lee possessed a sense of superiority inherent in the Caucasian race, as well as a contemptuous attitude towards the Chinese.

He didn't even think that the Dota map was worth it for him to personally go down and negotiate with this man from the Eastern Country, so during the negotiation, his eyes kept looking at Li Lizhen who was sitting next to him, intentionally or unintentionally.

"So, you basically have no room to maneuver?" Liu Neng looked at John Li with a smile, "Can you represent your Storm Company?" ”

There were some beads of sweat on Abel's head, and he didn't think that the current negotiation was on an equal footing. It was John Li who despised the other party very much, so he put forward such a condition, this is simply an unequal treaty, according to the previous contact between Abel and Liu Neng, it is absolutely impossible to agree.

"Mr. Liu, this is just a process of discussion, and it is definitely not a one-shot deal!" Abel hurriedly interjected.

"No!" John Li immediately objected unequivocally, "This is the condition we offered, and I can represent the storm company in this matter." ”

Liu squinted his eyes, this is no longer a simple matter as a "difficult master", this is clearly written on his face with the pride of "Caucasians", as well as disdain and contempt for Chinese people.

He spread his hands and said, "Then there is no need to continue the discussion!" Mr. John Lee, I think you will regret the decision you made today. ”

He stood up and clapped his hands, patted his buttocks again, and sighed, "It's really boring to come to the United States this time." ”

Li Lizhen got busy and stood beside him, "It's nothing, it's a big deal, let's do it ourselves, with the influence of the Dota map, this thing can't be done without reason." ”

John Li also stood up and said to Li Lizhen very friendly, "Beautiful lady, we have a banquet tonight, I wonder if I can have the honor to invite you as my female companion?" ”

"Obviously, you don't have that privilege." Li Lizhen smiled, and then kissed Liu Neng on the face, "Introduction, this one is my boyfriend." ”

The two of them came out of the storm company and didn't stop for anything, Liu Neng sighed, "It's really a goddamn waste of almost a week, no matter how you think about it, I feel a little fucked......"

"Mr. Liu! Wait! Someone suddenly shouted from behind, and the two turned around. Seeing Abel chasing after him, he walked up to them with an apologetic face, "I'm really sorry, I didn't know things would turn out like this." I heard that within the company, a similar game has also been established, which uses Mr. Liu's competitive mechanism, and the game's DOME is close to completion, and internal testing will be conducted in the next two days. I just learned about this news, otherwise I wouldn't have let Mr. Liu run for nothing. ”

"It's okay, this matter has nothing to do with you, obviously the cooperation between us today is not only because your company started to do similar projects, but also because of the attitude of John Li."

Abel was a little distressed, "I'm really sorry, I don't understand why the company's board of directors finally sent him to negotiate with you, people up and down the company actually know a little bit, this person is a narrow-minded racist......"

"If there is an opportunity, maybe we have the possibility of cooperation in the future." Liu Neng shook hands with Abel, his impression of Abel is actually quite good, he knows how to measure, he can't talk big, he can make decisions on his own things, and he can't make decisions. This kind of person is a person who can cooperate.

After the two left each other's contact information, he asked Abel by the way, "I don't know Mr. Abel, do you know that there are other companies in the United States that want to do e-sports events?" If you know someone in this area, can you introduce me to them? ”

Abel was stunned for a moment, even Europeans and Americans with very straightforward personalities would not say such things so bluntly - just after the negotiation with his own company broke down, he began to inquire about other cooperation channels? It seems to have changed a little too quickly. However, he didn't say anything, "Most of the people I know are engaged in game development, and they don't have many connections in operations and events. I can help you with an inquiry, and if there is any news, I will send you an email. ”

Europeans and Americans are accustomed to using mailboxes, which is obviously different from Chinese people.

The two exchanged a few words of greetings and parted. Liu Neng and Li Lizhen looked at the map and boarded the train to the beach.

After two days on the West Coast, I finally set off for home. This trip abroad took a little more than a week, but what was really done was about zero, and the only thing that was gratifying was that I met a reliable person, and other than that, there was nothing particularly worth writing about.

On the flight, Li Lizhen talked about her father coming to pick up the plane. Originally, Liu Neng didn't feel anything, but when the time came, after entering Huaxia airspace, he suddenly became nervous. "It's over, I feel like I'm not good! Your dad won't look down on me, will he? ”

"It's a sure thing, but you can't be afraid!" Li Lizhen covered her mouth and smiled, "My dad can't eat people, so you just treat it as a normal old man!" ”

"How is it possible, it's over, I feel like I'm getting more and more nervous now......"

Li Lizhen reached out to touch his hand and found that he was not joking, now his palms were full of sweat, and they were slippery and greasy when he touched them......
