120: Chapter 120 A beautiful young woman who makes decisive decisions with just a few words!

After the meeting ended, Jiang Yuan returned to her office.

As soon as she pushed open the door, a rich aroma wafted toward her. Jiang Yuan, who had only eaten a slice of bread for breakfast, twitched her nose; her eyes instantly lit up, and her appetite was whetted.

Looking closely, she realized that Lin Ran had somehow snuck in at some point. She was squatting by the coffee table, her golden, fluffy head bobbing incessantly.

Before her sat seven or eight takeout boxes, each opened to reveal delicious dishes that looked, smelled, and tasted exquisite.

Jiang Yuan closed the door, walked over, and sat down opposite her. As she picked up her chopsticks, she asked in a crisp voice:

“Why are you here?”

Lin Ran, who was salivating over the dishes, looked up with an innocent face and said:

“Sister Su said the meeting would take a long time, so she told me to buy the food in advance and deliver it to President Jiang's office around noon.”

She cast a reluctant glance at the lunch boxes emitting a rich fragrance on the table, then slowly stood up and shuffled toward the door. As she walked, she said longingly:

“Then President Jiang, please enjoy your meal. I'll head downstairs to grab lunch myself!”

But that was only what she said.

After walking for a while, she had only moved less than a meter, her beautiful eyes practically glued to the coffee table.

Jiang Yuan shook her head helplessly, picked up her chopsticks, and put a piece of rib into her mouth.

Sweet and sour—it was indeed quite good.

While savoring the delicious food, Jiang Yuan said in a soft voice:

“Don't leave. Stay and eat with me.”

Watching Lin Ran, who almost jumped for joy and let out a 'wahoo' before scurrying back, Jiang Yuan took another bite of white rice.

With a faint smile, she asked:

“How come I never noticed before that you were such a glutton?”

Although she was a bit dissatisfied with being called a glutton,

Lin Ran was immersed in the joy of the food, and since the one speaking was Jiang Yuan, she merely hummed a protest and let it go.

They had only taken a few bites when there was a knock on the office door.

Su Meng pushed the door open with a folder in her hand. Seeing the heartwarming scene of the two sitting across from each other eating, she paused and said with a light laugh:

“Lin Ran? Why are you still here?”

Suddenly hearing the familiar voice of her direct superior, Lin Ran jumped in fright. She quickly cleared a space for Su Meng and said with a silly, charming smile:

“The boss told me to stay and eat. Sister Su, you should have some too; these Salt and Pepper Ribs are amazing!”

Su Meng ignored her and walked over, bringing a gust of fragrant air. She sat on the sofa next to Jiang Yuan, handed over the folder, and said warmly:

“The information on those game companies that took the initiative to contact us, which you asked Qin Gong to organize earlier, is all here. I ran into him on my way over and brought it along.”

Jiang Yuan took the folder, put down her chopsticks, and opened it to check.

Qin Gong had organized the file very thoroughly, listing the background, scale, and representative works of every interested company, displaying everything clearly.

Jiang Yuan scanned through it, her clear eyes stopping on a certain page. She pointed at it and asked clearly:

“This Yunjing Games looks somewhat interesting. Su Meng, do you know their specific background?”

Su Meng unconsciously leaned closer to Jiang Yuan's side. After taking a look, she explained softly:

“This is a new company founded the year before last. The founder was the former Vice President of NetEase's game division, and he took an entire team with him to start his own business.”

“Last year, they released an open-world mobile game called shan hai xing. Its revenue exceeded two hundred million in its first month of launch.”

Oh?

They actually have quite a pedigree and strength.

Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly and asked curiously:

“From NetEase? Then why did he come to find us? Isn't his shan hai xing running perfectly fine on NetEase's channels?”

Su Meng smiled slightly, having a clear understanding of the situation:

“I heard from former colleagues that NetEase has always held a grudge about him leaving with the team. Although shan hai xing had a good start, because of several blunders in subsequent operations, NetEase used those as excuses to keep squeezing their revenue share from the channels.”

“The reason they reached out this time is reportedly because shan hai xing is launching a PC version. They probably have their eyes on the massive active user base of our Spark Game Platform.”

Jiang Yuan nodded thoughtfully.

This was indeed an interesting situation.

Yunjing Games had products, technology, and a user base. It was a game company that already possessed a certain level of strength and had moved beyond 'studio' status, but lacked channels.

And Spark Game Platform happened to be a game platform with channels, traffic, and a user base experiencing explosive growth.

The needs of both parties were almost a perfect match!

Although [shan hai xing] was an online game, considering the game's quality was decent and it wasn't the type that forced players to pay-to-win—the reason the mobile version's operations were deteriorating was due to several major operational accidents they hadn't recovered from.

Jiang Yuan felt they could prioritize talking to this company.

As for the other companies,

Most were just low-quality 'reskinned' products, making Jiang Yuan frown as she looked through them.

For games of this quality to get on Spark Game Platform, as long as they passed review, Jiang Yuan certainly wouldn't stop them. But as for launch revenue share discounts or featured spots, they shouldn't even dream of it; everything had to be determined by quality.

However, Jiang Yuan could also guess.

If they couldn't swindle any preferential terms, these people would most likely change their tune instantly and choose to continue trying their luck on Steam. After all, Steam had over ten million active users, which the current Spark Game Platform couldn't even be compared to yet.

After finishing lunch, she rested for a while in the small lounge inside her office.

In the afternoon,

A spirited Jiang Yuan quickly and resolutely called Qin Gong over and instructed him:

“Here's the plan: go talk to Yunjing Games. Tell them we can give them a launch revenue share discount. The fixed share will temporarily drop from twenty-five percent to twenty, and the share ratio can be tiered.”

“For annual revenue under two hundred million, the platform takes twenty percent! From two hundred million to five hundred million, we take eighteen percent. Above five hundred million, we take sixteen percent! Additionally, the platform will provide a large number of featured spots during the launch period. Have the Operations Team coordinate the specific schedule.”

Qin Gong quickly committed all of Jiang Yuan's words to memory, then looked up and asked:

“President Jiang, are there any other discounts?”

Jiang Yuan thought for a moment and continued:

“If they have new client games in the future—whether single-player or online—as long as they are willing to sign an exclusivity agreement, the share can be reduced by another two points on top of the current basis!”

Qin Gong looked with some awe at the beautiful young girl, whose delicate face was full of calm yet who had made such a major decision in just a few words.

Qin Gong felt his hands faintly trembling. He truly wished he could immediately replace the boss of Yunjing Games and just agree on the spot.
