Chapter 581: Terrible Loss
Lu Feng sat there quietly, not saying a word. He simply took out a cigarette, lit it, and put it in his mouth. The smoke curled up, blurring his face and making it difficult to understand his thoughts at the moment.
The atmosphere in the box grew increasingly tense as time went on. Beads of sweat began to form on Ding Rusong's forehead. He tried to speak several times, but he didn't know what to say.
He Zhiheng also looked at Lu Feng quietly, waiting for his decision.
He knew that Lu Feng's attitude would determine Hami's future.
If Lu Feng refuses Tengfei's conditions, the fight between the two sides may continue, and Hami will face huge risks.
But if Lu Feng agreed to Tengfei's conditions, he would feel unwilling, after all, Tengfei's request was too much.
Soon, a cigarette burned out, and in Ding Rushong's shocked eyes, Lu Feng extinguished the cigarette in his hand with his bare hands.
"Vice President Ding, you know what? When you showed up, I didn't want to say anything more to you. After all, it's you who are anxious now, not us."
"Your sincerity touched me, so I was willing to give you a chance. But in the face of my sincerity, how did you repay me?"
His voice made Ding Rushong lower his head in shame.
"Mr. Lu...I..."
Ding Rushong opened his mouth to explain, but Lu Feng didn't give him the chance and continued talking to himself.
"You told Tengfei that we had to pay you 100 million yuan in compensation and help you expand your overseas market. Once you put these two conditions out there, others who don't know about it might think we were the ones who started the dispute and are now asking you to make peace."
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Lu Feng's eyes.
"No...that's not the case...Director Lu...the top management has a reason for putting forward these two conditions."
"For example, regarding the 100 million yuan compensation, they just want to maintain Tengfei's status. They don't want your actual compensation, they just want your attitude."
"Let's be honest, at this point, 100 million is just a drop in the bucket."
Ding Rushong quickly explained.
In fact, what he said was right. Up to now, the losses of both sides of Hami and Tengfei have reached a terrifying level.
Take Tengfei for example, they wasted a lot of manpower and material resources, lost 200 billion yuan in foreign markets, and lost a lot of domestic stocks because of this incident.
According to incomplete calculations, Tengfei has lost at least 300 billion yuan since the two sides fought to date.
As for Hami, although it seems that he did not lose much, he still lost two or three hundred million yuan in cash.
This is not the most important thing. The important thing is that Lu Feng owes a big favor to both Hanzi Dance and Yafit Group.
But don't underestimate these two favors. They may cost Lu Feng tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars to repay in the future.
The higher the status of a person, the more afraid he is of owing favors to others, precisely because he is afraid of having to repay them.
Because when they reach their status, favors can no longer be repaid by simply doing a small favor.
This is also the reason why Zhang Tianyi and Snake are willing to help Lu Feng despite the pressure from within the group.
They all wanted Lu Feng to owe them a favor.
So on the whole, Hami's losses are no less than Tengfei's.
From this perspective, in this business war where the losses amount to tens of billions, one hundred million is indeed as light as a feather.
But the current problem is not a matter of one hundred million, but a matter of attitude.
The reason why Tengfei wants 100 million in compensation is because they want to maintain their status and face.
Otherwise, when others knew that Tengfei fought a 300-round battle with a group with a market value of 50 billion, lost hundreds of billions, and finally asked for peace, the other groups would laugh at Tengfei to death.
This is not the most critical point. The most critical point is that other Internet groups will think that Tengfei is no longer the Tengfei of the past, and it has begun to decline.
At that time, other ambitious groups will attack Tengfei, trying to occupy the leading position by stepping on Tengfei's corpse.
By then, even if Tengfei could defeat those groups, it would suffer heavy losses and would not be able to maintain its leading position.
This is why the top management of Tengfei is worried, so they put forward such a condition in order to deter those groups that want to replace Tengfei.
Tell them that Tengfei is still Tengfei, and not everyone can spy on it.
But from Lu Feng's perspective, this one hundred million is an insult to them.
Not to mention that Lu Feng would never agree, even He Zhiheng and Liu Ruize would not agree.
Once Hami really paid the 100 million yuan in compensation, it would be equivalent to Tengfei slapping Hami in the face. Hami also knelt down and kowtowed three times to Tengfei, and said it felt great.
If this happens, Hami will completely lose its position in the gaming industry and even the Internet industry, and will not be able to continue to develop.
He Zhiheng was so angry because he knew what this meant.
Ding Rushong also knew this, so he was so embarrassed.
After listening to Ding Rushong's explanation, Lu Feng narrowed his eyes.
Those who know him well know that whenever he makes this gesture, it means he is angry.
Lu Feng raised a mocking arc at the corner of his mouth and looked at Ding Rusong and said, "Vice President Ding, are you still asleep?"
"You, Tengfei, are offering such conditions, and you still expect us to accept them? If the top management of Tengfei wants to use such conditions for peace talks, then there is no need to say anything more. Hami will not agree and will continue to fight against Tengfei."
Ding Rusong became anxious when he heard this and quickly said, "Mr. Lu, please don't be angry. I'll let you think about it carefully. If it doesn't work, I'll discuss it with the senior management of Tengfei and modify the conditions."
When Lu Feng heard this, he immediately laughed, his eyes full of sharpness: "Vice President Ding, you'd better understand that it is Tengfei who wants to negotiate with Hami now, not Hami who is rushing to negotiate with Tengfei."
"If we have to propose conditions, we should do so. It's not Tengfei's turn to do so."
"Since you, Tengfei, are willing to seek peace, then show sufficient sincerity instead of testing us with these seemingly shrewd but actually foolish conditions. Do you think Hami can be manipulated at will? Humph, how naive."
Upon hearing this, Ding Rusong earnestly advised, "Mr. Lu, please calm down. I can persuade the Tengfei executives to modify the terms, but I hope Mr. Lu won't be so hard-line."
"After all, if the fight continues, Tengfei will indeed suffer considerable losses, but Hami will definitely not survive."
"You don't want to see Hami destroyed like this, do you? Only if both of us make concessions can we find a proper solution."
Ding Rushong's tone was full of anxiety and worry. He looked at Lu Feng, hoping that he could calm down and reconsider their relationship.
However, Lu Feng remained unmoved, his eyes remained firm and sharp.
