Huh?
Yan Sheng was a little dumbfounded.
This still wasn't enough?!
Miss, weren't you being a little too unreasonable?!
If it had been anyone else, Yan Sheng would have stormed off and told Secretary Li to show them out!
But this was Shen Miaomiao.
The eldest daughter of Shen's Capital, Shen Wanlin's precious girl.
So he could only suppress his impatience and say with a pained expression, "CEO Shen, this is already the greatest sincerity we can offer."
"If you're still dissatisfied with this price, then I can beat my chest and guarantee you—"
"Among all first-tier domestic and international immersive cabins, our platform fee and revenue split are absolutely the lowest."
"If you don't believe me, you can conduct market research."
"Take a look at the platform fees charged by other immersive cabin providers. Aren't they often over a hundred thousand?"
"Some are even worse. The platform fees for Neon Komeila and US Cloud Might have now risen to nearly a hundred and fifty thousand..."
Yan Sheng was utterly helpless, inwardly groaning without end.
That wasn't how you bargained, dear lady.
I'd laid all my cards on the table and told you the bottom line. If you were still dissatisfied, then there really was no way to continue this negotiation.
However!
Before Yan Sheng could finish speaking!
Shen Miaomiao's brows furrowed even deeper!
With a cold snort, she cut him off!
"CEO Yan! It seems you completely misunderstood what I meant!"
As she spoke, Shen Miaomiao put on a stern face.
"You actually thought I wanted to haggle?!"
Yan Sheng:?
There was a saying: when I put up a question mark, it wasn't because I had a problem—it was because I thought you had one.
That was exactly Yan Sheng's situation right now.
Shen Miaomiao's question practically made his CPU smoke!
Wait, what? If you weren't bargaining, what did you mean?
Could it be that you wanted to raise the price instead?
He hesitantly opened his mouth, his face filled with confusion. "So, CEO Shen means—?"
"I mean—you're a dignified first-tier domestic immersive cabin provider! And you're charging such a tiny platform fee and revenue split?!"
Shen Miaomiao was furious!
"CEO Yan, I came to you sincerely seeking cooperation, and this is your attitude?!"
"A seventy-thousand platform fee! And you're even giving an eighty-percent discount!"
"Are you out of your mind?!"
"If those foreigners saw this, they'd think Golden Wind couldn't afford the platform fee!"
Holy shit, she really wanted me to raise the price!!!
Yan Sheng was stunned senseless!
He waved his hands repeatedly. "Huh? No, no... our pricing... has always been like this."
"What do you mean, 'always like this'?"
Upon hearing that, Shen Miaomiao seemed even angrier.
"With such a tiny platform fee, how am I supposed to speak up when people ask me about it?!"
"Match the international giants! Raise it to a hundred and fifty thousand!"
"One hundred and fifty thousand every month!!!"
The moment those words came out!
The office instantly fell dead silent!
Secretary Li raised a hand and vigorously rubbed her eyes!
Damn, I must have gotten up too suddenly. Why was this person sitting there shining with golden light? Should I go back and sleep a little longer?
Yan Sheng, sitting on the sofa, felt both knees go weak. He nearly wanted to kneel before Shen Miaomiao and kowtow!
Damn! So that was what you meant, godmother!
You should've said so sooner!
This child had been ignorant. I didn't realize you were someone who cared so much about appearances.
The two people from Yiyou had golden light shining in their eyes, as though they had just witnessed the God of Wealth descend into the mortal world.
But Chu Qingzhou beside Shen Miaomiao was about to lose her mind!
No!
We couldn't squander money like this!
Yan Sheng and the others might not know the state of our company, but didn't you know?!
We only had two million in liquid funds!
Old CEO Shen wasn't going to give us a single cent in support!
You were generous enough not to accept their discount, but why were you bargaining in reverse?!
Even more outrageous, a hundred and fifty thousand was already comparable to the platform fee charged by top international immersive cabins!
Even if we took ten thousand steps back, if you really had that kind of money, why not negotiate with Neon Komeila or US Cloud Might instead?!
Their market was international—wasn't it far bigger than Yiyou's?!
Of course, none of that was even the key issue!
The most absurd part was that you were planning to pay Yiyou a platform fee every month?!
Did you have so much money that it burned your hands?!
Why did it feel like this money wasn't yours?!
"Um..."
Chu Qingzhou really couldn't hold it in any longer.
At this rate, Shen Miaomiao was going to hand the company directly over to Yiyou.
She gave Yan Sheng an awkward smile and spoke up.
"Our CEO Shen doesn't really understand how platform fees are charged. She thought they were paid monthly, hahaha..."
Huh?
I know that!
Shen Miaomiao looked at Chu Qingzhou in surprise.
I know platform fees are a one-time payment, paid once for each game.
She opened her mouth to argue. "But I... mmph..."
The next second, Chu Qingzhou stuffed a lollipop into her mouth.
Dear lady, please stop talking.
"Oh—so that's how it is, haha."
Hearing this, Yan Sheng waved a hand and laughed.
"It's fine, it's fine. I was just about to mention that as well."
"CEO Shen is generous, spending money without hesitation."
"But our immersive cabin platform fees are also regulated by the market supervision authorities."
"In other words, even if you wanted to pay monthly, we wouldn't dare accept it!"
After saying that, both sides looked at each other and laughed.
Seeing this, Chu Qingzhou planned to strike while the iron was hot and see whether she could recover that fifty-nine-thousand discount.
But unexpectedly, Shen Miaomiao pulled the lollipop from her mouth at that moment.
"Fine! Then it's settled! We'll go with one hundred and fifty thousand!"
"As for that revenue-share discount, you don't need to offer it either. Whatever the normal rate is, that's what it'll be!"
"Golden Wind will never take the back door!"
As those bold words rang in her ears, Chu Qingzhou nearly fainted!
She couldn't stop her.
There was simply no stopping her.
Chu Qingzhou silently thought that it was over.
Then Yan Sheng burst out laughing from across the room.
"Hahaha, what spirit! CEO Shen truly is the descendant of a prestigious family! Such extraordinary bearing! I was too shallow-minded!"
"Then we'll proceed as CEO Shen says. Happy cooperation!"
As he spoke, Yan Sheng joyfully extended his hand.
What a wonderful girl.
If every boss in the world were like this dear lady, why would Yiyou ever worry about dominating the global gaming industry!
They sealed the agreement with a high five, and this absurd collaboration was settled.
After finalizing the partnership, Yan Sheng wanted to host a banquet for Shen Miaomiao and Chu Qingzhou. After all, this was a God of Wealth one might not encounter even once in a century.
However, Shen Miaomiao declined on the grounds that the company still had many matters to arrange.
After seeing Shen Miaomiao off, Yan Sheng was in an excellent mood!
When he returned to the office, Secretary Li took his suit jacket and hung it up before lowering her voice to ask quietly.
"CEO Yan, this CEO Shen... is she..."
As she spoke, Secretary Li pointed to her own head.
The implication was clear: 'What a lovely girl, but sadly she had no brain.'
Seeing this, Yan Sheng frowned. "Hey—how could you speak about a partner like that?"
Secretary Li quickly stuck out her tongue. "Sorry, CEO Yan. I misspoke."
Yan Sheng waved his hand.
"Little Li, remember this: any big client willing to spend money like that isn't stupid."
"They may not understand certain emerging industries, but they absolutely understand revenue ratios, because money doesn't lie."
"Do you really think Young CEO Shen paid twice the platform fee just to do charity?"
"Some things can only be understood, not spoken aloud."
"Didn't you understand what Young CEO Shen meant?"
Hearing this, Secretary Li's expression turned solemn. "Please enlighten me, CEO Yan."
"Hehe."
Yan Sheng chuckled and explained.
"Young CEO Shen has tasted the benefits of promotion on our platform. The explosive success of Vampire Survivors showed her the power of our platform's official promotion!"
"So!"
"This time, she wanted to do the same thing again, but it wasn't easy for her to ask directly. That was why she could only use this seemingly money-giving method to hint to us—"
As he spoke, Yan Sheng looked at Secretary Li and raised his brows.
Secretary Li immediately understood!
"Got it!"
Secretary Li nodded emphatically.
"Step it up!"
"Make every penny worth it!!!"
