Chapter 24: Allies
Being stirred up by John like this, Zhang Yang and Zixia lost interest in continuing to participate in the exchange meeting, and were about to go back to the hotel to figure things out first, but when they passed by the exhibition hall outside, they bumped into Zhang Yang's most hated person at the moment, Hideo Fukuda.
"Miss Li Ziyu, I heard that someone just came to the door? Did something happen? ”
"It's just a little thing, and you don't have to bother."
Zixia said lightly, and Zhang Yang saw Hideo Fukuda blinking, revealing a strange smile.
"Miss Li Ziyu, it seems that your company is a little bad now, so I won't bother, but I have a feeling that maybe one day we will meet again."
"Hmph."
Zixia snorted coldly, no longer bothered with Hideo Fukuda, Zhang Yang followed behind him silently, and when he passed by Hideo Fukuda, his fingers moved slightly, and then the two sides staggered.
The two did not delay, went out and took a taxi back to the hotel where they stayed, and the company personnel who were far away in China transmitted John's lawyer's letter and materials, and the two checked it carefully.
"This material has obviously been carefully prepared, that guy Hideo Fukuda should have started preparing very early, and he didn't do it before but was just waiting for the opportunity."
Zhang Yang looked at the 2 cm thick material and said his guess.
The reason why he insisted that it was Hideo Fukuda was very simple, except for Hideo Fukuda, no one else would spend so much effort, and when he cheated on John before, a trace of unnaturalness flashed in John's eyes, which confirmed Zhang Yang's speculation even more.
Zixia pulled out a few sheets of printer paper, which were densely packed with English.
"The company, which is from Narvada in the United States, is called Clis Studios, which was originally a personal business after being acquired more than three months ago. A new chain of money was injected, and according to them, they developed a special effect software called "Hand of God". ”
"The Hand of God?"
"Yes, according to them, this software has been in a high level of secrecy and has not yet been officially tested publicly, and they suspect that our Unigroup software has stolen their software source code, so they filed a lawsuit with the Chinese Embassy in the United States, because the embassy is involved. That's why the industry and commerce sector reacted so quickly. ”
Zhang Yang looked at the English material and asked a question: "What evidence do they have to prove that this "Hand of God" software really exists?" If it is only a false complaint, it is malicious defamation. ”
Zixia frowned: "The trouble is here, these guys don't know where to find programmers." Wrote a software package, although it is far from ours. But because it is written in imitation of the corresponding function. So there is a certain similarity, it will take a while if there is to be a formal investigation, and their aim is to disrupt our business plan, which is enough, and they are registered with a global patent, although the application has not yet been approved. ”
The veil is gradually lifted. An impenetrable net was revealed, and a conspiracy shrouded the head of Unisplendour.
Zhang Yang and Zixia glanced at each other, knowing in their hearts that the other party was doing this, at most, causing some trouble to Ziguang Software. It won't really win, because Unisplendour software is a real future product, and it is simply impossible now.
But the problem is that this lawsuit involves the reputation of Unisplendour Software, which is a very heavy and dangerous blow to a fledgling rookie, not to mention that the other party's goal is to directly target the business cooperation between himself and Nintendo.
Without orders, without partners, what do you rely on to eat?
Zhang Yang's heart is a little gloomy, this matter has not spread at the moment, but the paper can't contain the fire, Nintendo, Blizzard, EA, will always get the news, and the reaction of these three companies is not clear, if it is okay to stand on their own side, if they take the initiative to clear up the relationship, or simply fall into the ground, then it is a little dangerous.
Said Cao Cao Cao arrived, Zhang Yang was still thinking about this problem just now, and the next moment there was a knock on the door outside, and after Zixia opened the door, standing outside was the general manager of Nintendo, Kazuhiko Aoki.
"I heard about what I just said."
Kazuhiko Aoki said directly, Zhang Yang and Zixia's faces were silent, and Kazuhiko Aoki was let in. After the two sides sat down, Zixia said directly.
"Mr. Aoki, we can guarantee that Unisplendour Software has absolutely not plagiarized anyone, and the other party is pure slander."
Aoki Kazuhiko nodded and shook his head after hearing Zixia's words, thought about it for a moment and said:
"Miss Li Ziyu, I also think this matter is a little strange, because this matter is too coincidental, the situation is like this, after two days of contact with you, I believe that you are not such a person, in my experience, this incident is more likely to be related to Sony."
"As you know, there's a bit of competition between us and Sony, and I'm very interested in working with you, but I need some evidence to convince the board, and you know, we're just running errands, and it's the senior management who really makes the decisions."
"I understand that, but we need some time and our cooperation ......"
In the face of the face, Zixia is the chairman, and Zhang Yang is only an expert negotiator, so most of them are made by Zixia.
"I will apply to the board of directors and still maintain cooperation, but you have to do your best, I can probably buy five days, and after five days, I can't guarantee it."
Kazuhiko Aoki readily agreed, apparently having thought about these things before coming.
"Thank you so much for that."
Zhang Yang breathed a sigh of relief, the arrival of Kazuhiko Aoki, obviously specifically to express his position, he himself temporarily stood in his own position, that is to say, there should be no big problem with cooperation, but his side needs to solve it as much as possible, at least to come up with evidence to prove his innocence, and persuade Nintendo's top management first.
And Zhang Yang knows very well that he wants to convince not only Nintendo, but also Blizzard, which has signed a contract and started to produce zuò, and EA, which is at the end of negotiations.
The three giants in the industry can indeed bring huge profits and attention to Unisplendour Software, but once something goes wrong, these three industry giants will become the first lifeline of Unisplendour Software.
Zixia was talking to Kazuhiko Aoki about some other issues, and then there was a knock on the door again, and this time it was an unexpected person who came in, it was Kyo Miura of the Lvest Group.
"Mr. Miura, what are you?"
Zixia was a little confused, unlike Miura Kyo, Aoki Kazuhiko had been in contact with him for a few days, and the trust between the two sides was based on mutual understanding, but Miura Kyo was just a meeting in the morning, so not only Zixia, but even Zhang Yang and Aoki Kazuhiko were a little strange.
"Miss Li Ziyu, isn't there something strange?"
A smiling Miura sat down on the sofa before saying, "Why did we come to you at this time?" ”
"That's right, after all, we are the defendant in this matter, and you should keep your distance from us."
Zixia didn't hide it.
Kyo Miura looked at Zixia and Kazuhiko Aoki on the side, with a smile in his eyes.
"I trust you more than that Clis studio from the United States." Kyo Miura waved his hand and said:
"Miss Li Ziyu doesn't know, although our lvest group is not big, there are still some backgrounds and connections, others may not know, but we have all the information of this Clis studio, because the real owner behind this company has some connections with us, or rather, there are some small frictions with us."
With a faint sense of confidence, Miura Jing looked at the three people present with burning eyes: "The so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend, not to mention that our group originally planned to cooperate with your company, so I must come today." ”
The first to react was Kazuhiko Aoki, who re-glanced at Kyo Miura with a cautious gaze, who was originally just a general acquaintance, and was immediately remembered by Kazuhiko Aoki, who also remembered some legends about the Lvest Group, which seemed to have a strong underworld background.
However, Kazuhiko Aoki cautiously did not talk much, he has been in this circle for many years, and he knows what to say and what not to say.
The old man who drank sake with you in the tavern may be the CEO of a certain consortium, and the person who borrowed paper from you in the toilet may be a big man with a deep background, although Miura Kyo is very ordinary, but he represents deep connections and power.
"I get it, and I'm sure this collaboration will be a pleasure."
Zixia understood what the other party meant, although she didn't know what friction Lvest had with the behind-the-scenes boss of that studio, but since she was firmly on her side at the moment, she was an ally.
A few people waited for a while, but they didn't see anyone else coming, and no phone calls came, knowing in their hearts that there were only a few people standing on this side at the moment.
After establishing a cooperative relationship, everyone also tore off their hypocritical coats and began to talk about this incident, and the first to speak was Kyo Miura.
"We have the information of this Clis Studio, a company in Narvada, USA, which was recently acquired, and the owner of this acquisition is called Smith. Warwell, an internationally renowned intelligence dealer specializing in the underground black trade. ”
"Intelligence peddlers?"
Zhang Yang repeated it to the other two, this term is still rare.
"That's right, it's to do things with money, reverse black and white, black will be white for you, white will be black for you, don't doubt them, they do have this strength."
"You're talking about them?"
Zhang Yang paid attention to the word.
"Yes." Miura Jing glanced at Zhang Yang appreciatively, nodded and said: "Such a huge work is naturally impossible for one person to complete, Smith's subordinates have a large team of professionals who specialize in these, but his fees are very high, so ordinary customers can't offer this price at all." ”
"And Sony, which has a lot of money, of course doesn't care about this little money."
This sentence was not said by Miura Jing alone, but by the other three people present who looked at each other and said it in unison. (To be continued......)
