Chapter 580 Excessive Conditions
"Mr. Lu, I'm here on behalf of Tengfei to discuss with Hami the possibility of both sides stopping the fight and seeking cooperation. We all know that continuing to fight like this will not benefit either side."
Ding Rushong smiled kindly and stated his purpose.
When Lu Feng heard this, he sneered, "Oh? When Tengfei was so aggressive, he never thought this would happen. Now that the situation seems wrong, he wants to ask for peace? It won't be that easy."
Ding Rusong smiled awkwardly and said, "Mr. Lu, we were inconsiderate before. But now we realize our mistake and hope to make peace with Hami. We at Tengfei also have many resources and advantages. If we work together, we will definitely achieve a win-win situation."
Lu Feng remained silent, as if thinking about Ding Rushong's words.
He Zhiheng said softly, "Director Lu, we still need to think carefully about this matter. If we can really stop the war, it will also be beneficial to Hami's development."
When saying this, He Zhiheng felt extremely unwilling and helpless.
It was he who created Hami. To him, Hami is his own child.
Now that the child was beaten, he was about to fight back when his enemy came and asked for a ceasefire. Even though he was filled with rage, he had no choice but to persuade Lu Feng to stop.
Because the gap in strength between the two sides is so huge, Hami is like a three-year-old child in front of Tengfei.
The reason why they have achieved their current results is basically all due to Lu Feng.
So for the sake of the overall interests, he had to suppress his anger.
When Lu Feng heard this, he still didn't say anything. He certainly knew that a ceasefire would benefit Hami in every way.
But he felt a little unwilling to stop just like that.
But if he chooses to continue fighting with Tengfei, Hami will eventually disappear from the gaming industry.
Time passed by minute by minute, and He Zhiheng and Ding Rushong were very nervous because Lu Feng's next decision might very likely affect the fate of the two groups.
After a while, Lu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, staring closely at Ding Rusong, with a hint of pressure in his tone: "Vice President Ding, is your request for peace this time your personal opinion, or your chairman Ma Fei's?"
Ding Rusong quickly responded, "Mr. Lu, without the chairman's approval, I wouldn't dare make a decision on my own. This request for peace is indeed a decision made by the company's top management after careful consideration."
Lu Feng was silent for a moment, then asked, "Since this is a decision made by the company's top management, then there must be conditions for the ceasefire, right? Why not tell us about it?"
Ding Rushong showed an embarrassment on his face and was extremely conflicted inside.
On the one hand, based on the conversation with Lu Feng over the past few minutes, he was well aware of Lu Feng's proud personality. Once he mentioned those two harsh conditions, it would likely cause Lu Feng's strong dissatisfaction.
On the other hand, he could not go against the company's instructions and fail to convey these conditions.
After much hesitation, Ding Rusong stammered, "Director Lu, this... we do have some considerations for Tengfei. But as for the specific conditions, I... I don't know how to begin."
Lu Feng frowned. He Zhiheng, who was standing beside him, saw through the situation and hurriedly tried to smooth things over.
"Director Lu, let's not talk here anymore. This is the company after all, and it's easy for employees to overthink things. It just so happens that we're going to have dinner, so why not take Vice President Ding with us and talk while we eat?"
Ding Rusong felt relieved when he heard He Zhiheng's proposal, and showed a grateful look to He Zhiheng. In this tense atmosphere, He Zhiheng's proposal undoubtedly gave him a chance to buffer.
After a brief thought, Lu Feng nodded in agreement.
He also understood that continuing to be deadlocked here was not a solution, and changing the environment might allow the negotiations to proceed more smoothly.
So the three of them walked towards a nearby restaurant together.
Along the way, the atmosphere was subtly awkward.
Ding Rushong hesitated several times, wanting to find a topic to break the silence, but he didn't know where to start.
Lu Feng had a blank expression on his face, still thinking about the conditions proposed by Tengfei and Hami's response.
He Zhiheng looked at the two of them and was secretly worried, but he could only try his best to remain calm and hope that the negotiation would have a good result.
Even though he wanted to cut Tengfei into pieces at this moment, for the sake of the overall situation, he could only swallow his anger.
Soon, the three of them arrived at a restaurant specializing in Cantonese cuisine. After arriving at the restaurant, the waiter led them to a quiet private room.
After the three of them sat down and ordered their food, silence once again enveloped the room.
He Zhiheng cleared his throat and tried to break the deadlock: "Vice President Ding, since everyone is sitting here, don't hesitate any longer and tell us the conditions for taking off."
Ding Rusong took a deep breath, knowing that he could no longer escape. He slowly said:
"Mr. Lu, Mr. He, Tengfei has proposed that the precondition for a ceasefire between the two sides is that Hami compensates Tengfei 100 million. They also hope that Mr. Lu can use your influence in Europe to help Tengfei open up the European market."
After saying that, he looked at Lu Feng and He Zhiheng nervously, waiting for their reaction.
In fact, when he saw Lu Feng, he already regretted coming to the Magic City.
If he had known that Lu Feng would give people such a strong sense of oppression, he would never have come.
But now the arrow was on the string and had to be shot, so it was no use for him to regret it.
As Ding Rushong finished speaking, the private room instantly became quiet, and then was enveloped by an extremely solemn atmosphere.
After hearing Ding Rushong's words, not to mention Lu Feng, even He Zhiheng, who had been trying to bring them together, was stunned.
He never expected Tengfei to be so excessive. It was clearly they who started the war, and then Hami was forced to fight.
In the end, it seemed as if Hami was the one who provoked Tengfei.
He Zhiheng's expression turned extremely ugly. He suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at Ding Rusong and said:
"Vice President Ding, aren't Tengfei's conditions too harsh? Tengfei was the one who started this fight, and now they're asking us, Hami, to pay 100 million in compensation, and they're also asking Director Lu to help you open up the European market. Don't you think this is a bit too much?"
Ding Rusong's face was filled with bitterness when he heard this. He said helplessly, "Mr. He, I know this condition is a bit excessive, but this is indeed the decision of the top management of Tengfei. I'm just a messenger. I hope you can understand."
He Zhiheng stopped talking. Tengfei still didn't take them seriously. If that was the case, there was no need for him to try to please them.
Seeing that He Zhiheng stopped talking, Ding Rushong had no choice but to look at Lu Feng.
