Chapter 56

Kentucky, Pizza Hut, Wallace.

Qin Xiaoyu flipped through the materials on the table; they were all fast-food brands.

The first two were significantly larger.

Not only did they have numerous stores within Xia Country, but they also had vast numbers of company-owned or franchised outlets in most countries worldwide.

The last one was relatively smaller, but it was a domestic Xia Country enterprise.

Their purpose in coming was essentially the same: to broker a cross-over collaboration.

In simple terms, they wanted to partner with the game Genshin.

With daily active users exceeding three million and daily revenue hitting the top spot, these fast-food brands saw limitless business opportunities.

After their marketing departments conducted surveys,

they found that Genshin’s primary user base was concentrated between the ages of eighteen and thirty.

This demographic overlapped heavily with their own core customer group.

Because

a collaboration would make for an excellent marketing campaign.

The manufacturers could gain tangible financial benefits, while Genshin would gain greater visibility—essentially a win-win partnership.

To be honest,

Qin Xiaoyu himself did not oppose such cross-over marketing collaborations.

Take this case: even if Kentucky and Pizza Hut hadn’t come to him, he would have approached them himself within a few days.

After all, this would also serve as a pre-launch warm-up for Genshin’s global release.

However,

no matter what, this collaboration could not be handled as poorly as it had been in his past life.

Thinking of this, Qin Xiaoyu glanced at the three men present, then spoke directly: “Gentlemen, I believe you’ve already gotten some sense of my personality.

I’ll be straightforward.

I don’t oppose the collaboration marketing—I actually want to make it happen.

But before we proceed, I’d like to state my personal requirements; if you can accept them, we’ll continue discussing the details.”

Qin Xiaoyu’s words were blunt and forceful.

Yet none of the three brand representatives showed any sign of displeasure.

Before arriving, each of these three brands had commissioned professional analytical firms to conduct comprehensive data analyses.

If the collaboration succeeded, it would generate at least two hundred million, or more, in sales.

Such a large slice of cake was not to be abandoned lightly.

So,

after a brief pause, all three men nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Qin Xiaoyu cut straight to the point: “First, I want this campaign to extend beyond Xia Country’s borders.”

“Excuse me, Mr. Qin, may I interrupt?”

This condition effectively rejected Wallace, so its representative immediately stood up to interrupt and asked: “Does this mean we have no chance at all?”

“Mr. Li, I have no issue with your brand—it’s simply that my game will launch globally next month and requires large-scale promotion. I hope you understand.”

Since he was turning them down, Qin Xiaoyu felt it best to explain, to avoid unnecessary friction: “If we develop our next game and you’re still interested, I’ll give you priority consideration.”

In fact,

upon seeing the representatives from Kentucky and Pizza Hut, Mr. Li had already known he had little chance.

He had merely held on, hoping to fight for something until the end.
