Chapter 144: I disagree!

Qian Zhong's expression became more solemn.

Although this was his first contact with Lu Yu, merely a commonsense communication, it could also be called a negotiation.

But Lu Yu's performance was like that of a negotiation expert.

In such a situation, why would Lu Yu let Xiao Min speak?

Why would Xiao Min refuse as well?

This is merely Lu Yu's way of wanting more benefits.

Without stating his own position clearly, he let his employee express his meaning, giving himself room to advance or retreat.

Without twenty years of grinding in the business world, how could one be as seasoned as Lu Yu?

Thinking this, Qian Zhong couldn't help but look at Lu Yu with greater esteem.

"Regarding profits, we can talk."

"If you think three percent isn't enough, we can give five percent."

"This is already great sincerity."

Qian Zhong said this, then turned his eyes toward Lu Yu.

But… Lu Yu gently shook his head.

Qian Zhong's brows furrowed tighter; Lu Yu is even greedier than he imagined!

"At most six percent—this is already the limit."

"You should know we need to pay costs, manpower and material resources, far too much."

Qian Zhong stepped back again.

Lu Yu still shook his head.

Qian Zhong's eyes widened as he said, "Do you still want operating rights? That's impossible. Leaving you the Mo Du market is already our limit."

Lu Yu still shook his head, but finally spoke, saying, "Mr. Qian Zhong, I think you've misunderstood."

"My shaking head means we don't accept your investment."

"Why?" Qian Zhong almost immediately asked this, his voice rising due to agitation.

Qian Zhong also realized he was rude, lightly coughed, tidied his clothes, to hide his embarrassment.

"Because Xiao Min said she disagrees—you should have heard just now." Lu Yu said matter-of-factly.

"Ah?" Qian Zhong opened his mouth again.

This… what the heck!

A casual remark from a general manager can decide a business worth billions?

Is this too childish?

Or am I dreaming?

Qian Zhong's face full of disbelief.

Lu Yu thought, then explained, saying, "Moyuwangka is a rough concept I proposed, but the one who actually established it is Xiao Min."

"So she should be the owner of this internet cafe."

"Since she is the owner, she naturally has the right to decide Moyu's stay or go."

"You… you're serious?" Qian Zhong could only ask that.

"Of course, you don't need to look for me over this anymore." Lu Yu nodded.

Then he rose from his seat.

"Mr. Qian, I have something to do, I'll go first."

Having said that, Lu Yu left directly.

Qian Zhong… stood there dumbfounded.

Really!

This is actually true!

The shock this matter gave Qian Zhong is as if the sun rose from the west, as if a magnitude‑12 earthquake struck Mo Du—enough to make him doubt life.

For people like them, isn't making money the most important thing?

Now…

Lu Yu actually gave up the big money about to be in his grasp because of a staff member's remark?

This…

Truly dreamlike!

Speaking of shock, Xiao Min's shock is no less than Qian Zhong's.

In fact, the moment she uttered the three words "disagree," she already regretted it.

Although she couldn't quickly calculate the exact value of this deal, a little thought shows what Qian Zhong and Lu Yu's cooperation represents.

She's merely a worker—how dare she voice an opinion on such an important matter!

Moreover, Lu Yu has always trusted her so much, almost handing over Moyuwangka to her, never opposing any of her actions!

Yet she wants to block Lu Yu's prosperity?

No matter how you think, it's wrong.

But who knows…

Lu Yu actually refused Qian Zhong because of her!

When Lu Yu refused, he was utterly decisive, without hesitation!

He even left straight away!

Xiao Min wanted to cry at this moment!

She was more like rushing out to pull Lu Yu back!

She felt she didn't deserve it!

But at this moment, her legs couldn't move, and her tears had already streamed down.

Being trusted so much by someone, being valued so much by someone… turns out… this is the feeling!

"You're very lucky." At that moment, Qian Zhong finally reacted, he took a deep breath, then looked at Xiao Min and said.

"Yes, I'm very lucky." Xiao Min said, her voice choked with tears.

"But Lu Yu will regret the decision he made today." Qian Zhong said, as if it were obvious.

Xiao Min's eyes suddenly became firm, and she said: "The boss will definitely not regret it, because… I will open Moyu to every corner of the country!"

"I will make Moyu the largest chain of internet cafes in the country!"

Qian Zhong found himself unable to say anything for a moment.

He, the mighty General Manager of Pioneer Capital, holding investments worth hundreds of millions, yet was outmatched in presence by this little girl before him.

Qian Zhong gave Xiao Min a deep look, said nothing, and directly stood up and left.

……

As for the conversation that later took place between Xiao Min and Qian Zhong at Moyuwangka, Lu Yu naturally didn't know about it.

Over the next few days, Lu Yu didn't wander around; instead, he stayed at home in front of his computer, opened a document, and began writing the game's planning content.

At the very beginning of the document, Lu Yu typed a few characters.

《Angry Birds》!

"Yes, the first game Lu Yu intends to use for the competition is none other than 《Angry Birds》."

This is a small game, but absolutely not ordinary.

At one point, 《Plants vs. Zombies》 notified the indie game scene, and then at another point, 《Angry Birds》 did the same!

How popular did this game become?

One could say that even people who don't play games, or who are indifferent to games, have heard of this game!

This is yet another mass-appeal casual game!

The gameplay is very simple, but… it really relieves stress!

For such a game, Lu Yu felt it was more than enough to handle the first round of the competition.

Even if the judging panel wanted to target Lu Yu, it would be absolutely impossible to eliminate him.

After all, this is a game that has stood the test of time.

……

One day before the opening of the International Game Maker Competition, Lu Yu brought Xie Lin, Wang Meng, and Chen Qiao together, and they boarded a flight to Jingdu.

Bringing these people was actually the result of Lu Yu's careful consideration.

Chen Qiao needs no further explanation.

Xie Lin is now the game's art director, while Wang Meng is the technical director, i. e., responsible for developing the program.

They have become the core figures in Lu Yu's game development.

Taking them to witness the opening of the International Game Maker Competition also counts as broadening their horizons.
