Chapter 111: Using Their Own Spear to Attack Their Own Shield

Wan Dai was extremely aggressive. As soon as they came up, they directly took the initiative and instead put on a posture of holding them accountable.

The group of people from Dongling High-Tech exchanged glances. Ren Yuefeng, Hu Zi, Gao Peng, and others all showed displeasure, while Li Dongling's expression remained as usual, even carrying a playful smile.

Facing Wan Dai's accusations, Gao Zhiyuan, who was in charge of Dongling High-Tech's legal affairs, couldn't help it first, "Since the electronic pet machine started selling, our legal department has directly or entrusted lawyers to sue more than 27 companies for counterfeit and pirated electronic pet machines in the mainland, Hong Kong, Japan, America, Europe, and other places. The lawyer and litigation fees spent for this have exceeded 1 million USD!"

"But now they are still repeatedly banned, aren't they? Including in the mainland region, when we transferred from Hong Kong to Yangcheng, we found that many stores were selling counterfeit electronic pet machines!" Miao Chize said aggressively at this time.

Seeing that the two sides were about to continue arguing, Li Dongling reached out and stopped the Dongling High-Tech side, looking toward Makoto Yamashina, "I think President Makoto Yamashina didn't just come over from Japan to argue about these things with Dongling High-Tech, right?!"

"Of course not!"

Makoto Yamashina also said with a smile. As the man who fought hard against Sony and Ren Tiantang game consoles and almost dragged Wan Dai down, Makoto Yamashina was famous for being stubborn and would not stop until he reached his goal, "This is just a kind reminder from Wan Dai as a friendly business partner to Dongling High-Tech.

After all, electronic pet machines are not only related to Dongling High-Tech but also to Wan Dai, Toys "R" Us, Ning's Trading Company, etc. What do you think, Ning Zong?!"

Makoto Yamashina looked at Ning Wenge and also directly stated his purpose. He came this time with the intention of forcing them, wanting to fight for more benefits for the major overseas agents of electronic pet machines.

Dongling High-Tech's electronic pet machines could sell well overseas, which was inseparable from the support of overseas agents like Wan Dai. Without these sales channel agents, the overseas sales volume of electronic pet machines would probably collapse immediately. Even if they wanted to replace them with new agents, re-stocking, and promoting, they didn't know how long it would take.

This was Makoto Yamashina's confidence. Li Dongling even felt that Makoto Yamashina had probably already consulted with Toys "R" Us in America before daring to come and force them!

Facing the gaze cast by Makoto Yamashina, Ning Wenge glanced at Li Dongling and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Ning's Trading Company naturally hopes to be able to act as an agent for more products with our partners, but we will also abide by the cooperation agreement!"

Hearing Ning Wenge not directly stand on Wan Dai Company's side, Makoto Yamashina showed dissatisfaction on his face, but quickly restrained it. He glanced at Miao Chize to the side, and the latter immediately said knowingly, "Li Zong, we came here this time mainly for two things!

The first thing, Wan Dai requires Dongling High-Tech to grant Wan Dai more authorization, including allowing Wan Dai to develop new products by itself and launch co-branded, limited-edition, and other versions of electronic pet machines.

The second thing, Wan Dai requires a renegotiation of the profit-sharing. Wan Dai Company requires a 50% profit-sharing for electronic pet machines sold in Japan!"

Hearing these aggressive and lion-opening-its-mouth conditions, Ren Yuefeng couldn't help it directly, "This is impossible. Dongling High-Tech originally gave Wan Dai enough profit. Now Wan Dai takes away 50% of the profit for one electronic pet machine. How much is left for Dongling High-Tech?!"

"Wan Dai Company in Japan has contributed enough profit to Dongling High-Tech on electronic pet machines. If it weren't for Wan Dai Company, does Dongling High-Tech think it could get so much money? Even whether electronic pet machines could reach the current level is a question."

Miao Chize said with some arrogance, attributing all the credit for the electronic pet machine to Wan Dai.

"Dongling High-Tech will not agree to such conditions!"

Li Dongling suddenly spoke at this time, directly rejecting all of Wan Dai's conditions, leaving Makoto Yamashina, Miao Chize, and several Wan Dai executives stunned there. Even Ning Wenge showed some anxiety on her face.

On Wan Dai's side, it was clearly a lion opening its mouth, but it was also clear that they were waiting for Dongling High-Tech to bargain and finally take away a portion of the electronic pet machine's profit, not wanting to fall out directly with Dongling High-Tech.

But who would have thought that Li Dongling would directly put on a posture of overturning the table at this time? Miao Chize, who was just arrogant, was also somewhat panicked at this time. He just wanted to suppress Dongling High-Tech and make Li Dongling make concessions, but he didn't really want to fall out with Dongling High-Tech. The current Wan Dai in Japan really couldn't do without this thing. Once it got out that Wan Dai and Dongling High-Tech had fallen out and couldn't sell electronic pet machines, Wan Dai's stock price in Japan would collapse tomorrow!

Ning Wenge also kept winking at Li Dongling. Although she also looked down on Wan Dai's inch-by-inch advancement, she also knew that if Dongling High-Tech still wanted to sell electronic pet machines in Japan, it couldn't do without Wan Dai's sales channels.

Makoto Yamashina couldn't hold it anymore at this time, and asked Li Dongling with a dark face, "Is this Dongling High-Tech's final decision?!"

Looking at the group of people from Wan Dai who had completely changed their faces and no longer had the arrogant, aggressive, and condescending attitude from just now, Ren Yuefeng, Gao Zhiyuan, and others felt a sense of relief in their hearts. So this group of goods also had times when they were afraid.

After Li Dongling exchanged glances with Makoto Yamashina for a few moments, his expression softened, and he said with a smile, "Dongling High-Tech is prepared to change to a different way of cooperation with Wan Dai. Dongling High-Tech is willing to sell the copyright of the electronic pet machine to Wan Dai!"

As soon as these words came out, the conference room became silent again. The reversal today came too fast, making Ning Wenge feel somewhat unable to react. Dongling High-Tech was actually going to sell this cash cow of electronic pet machines. For a moment, she didn't know if she had heard wrong.

After a few seconds of silence, Makoto Yamashina spoke with heavy breathing and trembling, "Dongling High-Tech is not joking, right?!"

Coming this time, Makoto Yamashina originally only wanted Wan Dai to get more electronic pet authorization, to be allowed to sell new products by themselves, and to let Wan Dai get more profit. But he didn't expect Li Dongling to directly play a pair of kings, making him feel stunned for a moment.

"Does President Makoto Yamashina feel that this is a place for joking?!"

Pointing his finger in the direction of Miao Chize, Li Dongling also used the routine Makoto Yamashina just used—before stabbing, first flatter the other party, "Just as Manager Miao Chize said, the current situation of electronic pet machines globally is somewhat out of Dongling High-Tech's control. Perhaps handing it over to Wan Dai is the best choice!"

Hearing this, Miao Chize, who was just panicked, showed a satisfied expression on his face again.

Taking a deep breath, the surprise came too fast, making Makoto Yamashina somewhat unaccustomed for a moment. After adjusting for a while, he asked, "What price does Dongling High-Tech want to sell the electronic pet machine copyright and project for?!"

"300 million USD!"

Li Dongling said to Makoto Yamashina with a smile, "This sale fee should be negligible for Wan Dai Company. In Wan Dai's hands, electronic pet machines can earn 1 billion, 2 billion, or even more USD in the future!"

Using their own spear to attack their own shield—didn't Miao Chize just flatter that Wan Dai was the reason electronic pet machines could sell so well? Now, Dongling High-Tech would give the copyright of electronic pet machines to him. In the future, it wouldn't be excessive for Miao Chize to earn billions of USD from electronic pet machines, right? Dongling High-Tech only selling the electronic pet machine copyright to Wan Dai for a "mere" 300 million USD wasn't excessive, right? It was simply a cabbage price!

Miao Chize opened his mouth and couldn't refute. He had just flattered too hard, belittling Dongling High-Tech to raise Wan Dai's price, but now he couldn't get off the stage and could only look at Makoto Yamashina awkwardly.

Makoto Yamashina was also somewhat helpless. Li Dongling's move completely exceeded his expectations. At the beginning, their posture was too high, and the result was digging a hole for themselves.

But at this time, what was face? This was real USD. Coughing, Makoto Yamashina said, "This selling price is too high. With the current situation of electronic pet machines, if Wan Dai takes over, it will need to spend a lot of time and money to sue those counterfeit manufacturers. This cost is too high!"

Makoto Yamashina pulled out a lot of reasons—that suing counterfeit manufacturers costs money, the future market is uncertain, it might not sell that many machines, and in America and other places, it faces the legal risk of some states banning electronic pet machines, etc. Anyway, he pulled out a bunch of reasons, wanting to press the price down.

At this time, a very strange scene appeared in the conference room. When they first arrived, Wan Dai was the strong side, aggressive and unrelenting. Now they had become miserable, finding various reasons to press the price. Instead, Ren Yuefeng, Hu Zi, Gao Peng, and others showed strength, with the posture that if Wan Dai didn't buy, Dongling High-Tech would find other manufacturers to sell the electronic pet machine copyright, such as Sony or Ren Tiantang, who were also very greedy for it, and they also had many IPs that could be linked with electronic pet machines…

"235 million USD. This acquisition price is already suitable enough, Li Zong!"

When the price was pulled to 235 million USD, Makoto Yamashina said to Li Dongling. This price had already reached the psychological price Makoto Yamashina could bear, and Ren Yuefeng and others also felt the heat was about right.

It looked like electronic pet machines were still selling hot, but for Dongling High-Tech to earn this net profit of over 200 million USD, they would have to sell at least nearly 55.5 million more electronic pet machines, selling for two or three years, before it was possible to get this money. And that was on the premise that the electronic pet machine market didn't collapse. But could the electronic pet machine market maintain until then?

Never mind two years later, if the electronic pet machine market didn't collapse at this time next year, Li Dongling would consider Wan Dai capable!

"250 million USD!"

Li Dongling added a bit more to the price, then took out a plan from the side, "Along with the follow-up plan formulated by Dongling High-Tech for electronic pet machines, it will also be transferred to Wan Dai together!"
