Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

But in their hearts, they were both secretly thinking that the other person might be an idiot.

"Mr. Chen, I look forward to a complete success for our cooperation."

Ichiro Mimura said with a smile, his tone full of "sincerity".

That smile and tone were like a carefully crafted gift, making it difficult to discern one's true thoughts.

“Mr. Mimura, I also believe that this cooperation will bring great rewards to both of us.”

Chen Dong responded, a confident smile also on his face.

He knew in his heart that this collaboration was full of challenges and might face suppression from Nintendo.

But it also contains tremendous opportunities, and 361° is about to usher in a new chapter of development.

With the signing of the contract, this important business cooperation has officially begun, and 361° will usher in new development opportunities.

Back at the company, Chen Dong went straight to the chairman's office.

He was still replaying the details of the negotiations with Sega in his mind regarding this collaboration.

He placed high hopes on it, firmly believing that this would be a crucial opportunity for 361° to reach new heights.

I had just sat down at my desk and hadn't even had a sip of water when I heard a knock on the office door.

"Please come in."

Chen Dong responded, his voice tinged with weariness, but mostly composed.

The door opened slowly, and the sales team leader walked in. He had a hint of doubt on his face, and his steps were slightly hurried.

"Mr. Chen, may I ask you a question?" the team leader asked politely, his eyes full of confusion.

Chen Dong nodded slightly, gesturing for him to sit down.

"Tell me, what's the problem?"

After the team leader sat down, he directly asked the question that had been on his mind: "President Chen, I've never understood why we don't cooperate with Nintendo of Japan?"

“Nintendo is a giant in the game console industry, while Sega is three to five times smaller and less influential in comparison.”

"I feel that collaborating with Nintendo can bring greater benefits to our company."

Chen Dong leaned back slightly in his chair, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and began to patiently analyze the situation for the team leader.

"It's normal for you to have such questions. In fact, the decision to choose Sega over Nintendo was made after careful consideration."

"First, let's take a look at the current situation of Nintendo game consoles in China."

"Most of the Nintendo game consoles on the domestic market are grey market imports, either smuggled in or counterfeit."

"As the sales team leader, you should have noticed this when you were out there doing business."

“Under these circumstances, even if we cooperate with Nintendo, we will not be able to effectively control the domestic market or accurately push our games to domestic players.”

The team leader frowned slightly, pondering Chen Dong's words, and nodded gently.

Chen Dong continued, "Secondly, and most importantly, Nintendo has an extremely problematic platform review mechanism."

"They are extremely strict in their review of games released on their consoles, to the point that it can be described as domineering and arrogant."

"Many game developers have suffered as a result, with a large number of excellent games unable to be released on Nintendo's platforms because they do not meet their review standards."

“Our company’s games have their own unique style and content. If they were to go through Nintendo’s review process, they might be rejected for some inexplicable reason.”

The team leader suddenly realized, and a look of agreement appeared on his face: "So that's how it is. I really hadn't considered these things before."

Chen Dong then added, "Sega, although relatively smaller in scale, entered the domestic market much earlier than Nintendo."

"Moreover, precisely because they are small in scale, their desire to expand the market is stronger, and their attitude towards cooperating with us and in all aspects will be better."

"They are more willing to listen to our ideas and give us more room for cooperation."

After listening, the team leader's doubts were completely resolved, and he was full of admiration for Chen Dong's decision.

"Mr. Chen, you've thought this through so thoroughly, I understand."

Just as Chen Dong was talking to the sales team leader, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

Another employee from the sales team rushed in, looking anxious and panting. "Boss, something terrible has happened!"

His voice was slightly distorted due to his anxiety.

Chen Dong frowned, somewhat displeased that his employee had so rudely barged in.

But seeing the employee's anxious expression, he didn't bother to investigate further and quickly asked, "What happened? Tell me slowly."

The employee took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and said, "Boss, the alien company is making a big move."

"The cartridge games they independently developed are already on the market."

"That's not the point. The point is that the cartridge games they sell are almost the same type as ours—management games."

"Moreover, their game is called 'Luoyang Knights Inn,' and it plagiarizes many aspects of our 361 Company's 'I Run an Inn in Chang'an 1,' only changing the background to a martial arts style."

The employee finished speaking in one breath, his eyes filled with worry.

Upon hearing this, Chen Dong was first taken aback, then sneered.

In fact, he had long anticipated that this situation would occur.

The domestic game market is a mixed bag, with plagiarism and piracy being commonplace.

His collaboration with Sega was a strategic move to prepare for potential competition.

"Hmph, just as I expected."

Chen Dong said softly, but his expression was very serious.

He knew that the alien corporation was no ordinary opponent.

"Boss, what do we do now?"

"I can't believe it," the sales team leader asked anxiously.

Chen Dong did not answer immediately. He stood up and paced back and forth in his office, thinking about how to deal with the situation.

After a moment, he stopped and said, "Notify the procedures department that I need to call a meeting immediately."

After saying that, Chen Dong walked straight out of the office and headed to the programming department's office area on the fourth floor.

The staff in the programming department were busy with their own tasks when they saw Chen Dong walk in with a serious expression. They all stopped what they were doing and looked at him with puzzled eyes.

Chen Dong stood in the center of the common office area, with the employees' desks in front of him.

He cleared his throat and said loudly, "Everyone, stop what you're doing and hold an emergency meeting."

The employees quickly gathered around, their faces showing a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.

Chen Dong said with a solemn expression, "As you all probably know, Alienware has released a cartridge game called 'Luoyang Knights Inn,' which is extremely similar to our 'I Run an Inn in Chang'an 1.'"

"This is a huge challenge for us."

Upon hearing this, the employees whispered among themselves, their faces showing concern.

"Everyone, please be quiet."

Chen Dong raised his voice.

"Although Alienware's behavior is unethical, we cannot let it throw us off balance."
