213 A Special Meeting
Twenty minutes later, Su Ping and Angelica got out of the taxi. Meanwhile, they saw a coffee shop in front of them.
Moreover, it was a very high-end coffee shop. The consumer group was also middle-class or above, and only they had enough financial strength to spend in this kind of coffee shop.
If it were an ordinary person, they would probably feel very distressed to spend money here. After all, a cup of coffee here might cost many people a week’s worth of meals.
“Tsk-tsk! The person we’re going to meet is indeed a big shot in the gaming industry. I hadn’t even been to this coffee shop before. I heard that people will spend a lot of money inside!”
Angelica stood at the entrance of the coffee shop and looked at the luxuriously decorated door in front of her. She sighed with emotion.
Su Ping said with a smile.
“Haha! It’s just because you’re maintaining a frugal lifestyle. Speaking of which, your live stream room will usually attract millions of viewers. You should be able to make a lot of money in a year, right?”
“Don’t tell me you don’t even dare to enter this coffee shop, huh?”
Angelica said indifferently, “Huh, anyway, the coffee here won’t be as good as the one I grind at home. Why would I come here and spend so much money in vain?”
With that, Angelica walked into the coffee shop ahead. Meanwhile, Su Ping shook his head helplessly.
Of course, Su Ping liked Angelica’s frugal style. After all, although both of them had made a lot of money…
However, if they started to squander money as soon as they had it, they would spend it all sooner or later.
The environment in the coffee shop met its standard of being a high-end coffee shop. They didn’t hear any unconventional music when they entered, and everyone who appeared there was well-dressed and polite.
The staff of the coffee shop greeted the two of them as soon as they entered. Since they had come here to meet someone, the staff had already reserved a private room.
After Su Ping told the staff his name, the staff only needed to do a simple check to get all the information about him.
Then, the staff said politely and respectfully, “Please, follow me.”
Soon, the staff pushed the door open and gestured for them to enter. Su Ping and Angelica walked in and saw a group of people already seated in the room.
There were six people in the room. One of them looked very familiar to Su Ping.
It wasn’t that Su Ping had seen the guy before. It was just that the guy’s eyes made it seem as if the two of them knew each other.
The staff closed the door and left after bringing Angelica and Su Ping in. Su Ping went to his seat and sat down. Angelica naturally sat next to him, looking a little awkward.
Su Ping, on the other hand, was very relaxed. After all, he knew that he was the most important person in the room.
In fact, everyone in front of Su Ping had to flatter him and act according to his preferences.
Su Ping knew that if he left with dissatisfaction today, everyone in front of him will be severely punished when they return to their companies!
Of course, Su Ping didn’t need to worry about anything. He was the most relaxed person on the scene.
The person who had made eye contact with Su Ping and whom Su Ping found familiar was the first to speak.
“Haha! I’ve finally met Mr. Su in person. It isn’t easy to form today’s meeting. Mr. Su is famous in the gaming industry for being elusive. Nobody can find you in person, no matter what!”
The man had a warm smile on his face when he spoke. His style of flattery gave Su Ping a familiar feeling, which gave him a rough idea of the man’s identity.
Afterward, the man began to introduce himself.
“I’m Steam’s marketing manager. You can call me Smith. That’s right. I have the same name as Agent Smith in your game, The Matrix.”
“It’s nice to meet you, Mr. Su. Since we’ve worked together many times before, I believe you should still have some impressions of me.”
Su Ping immediately understood the situation.
As Su Ping expected, the man was Steam’s marketing manager. Back then, whenever Su Ping was about to release a new game, he would contact the man to make arrangements for him or to promote the game on Steam in advance.
After all, it was the era of popularity. No matter how excellent something was, in order to increase its influence, it had to be popularized. Only then could more people know about one’s game.
At that time, one would be able to achieve better results when their games were officially released. Even Su Ping’s games couldn’t skip the rule.
After all, there are so many people in the world. No matter how popular Su Ping’s game was, there must be some people who didn’t hear of it.
Su Ping showed a faint smile after listening to the man’s words. He then said, “Haha! It’s a pleasure to meet you. Steam also plays a major role in improving the sales of my game!”
Mr. Smith was stunned by Su Ping’s words. After all, Su Ping had gained a high status in the gaming industry.
No one could gain the upper hand in front of Su Ping. Anyone who saw Su Ping would have to lower their stance or even flatter him.
Some people were jealous of the heated conversation between Smith and Su Ping. They were all eager to talk to Su Ping.
In the end, Su Ping’s eyes fell on another man. Su Ping could guess which company he worked for by judging the man’s clothes and the symbol on his clothes.
It was obvious because the man wore a uniform with a logo made up of several simple lines. The logo belonged to the Storm Gaming Company!
After enjoying a glorious era for more than 20 years, Storm Gaming Company was now on the decline due to its arrogance and wrong decisions in the past.
It could be said that the number of users for many of Storm Gaming Company’s popular products in the past had significantly decreased around the world.
Even in some special countries and regions, these products had completely lost the soil to survive.
It led to the current Storm Gaming Company urgently looking for a new market to continue to maintain its seemingly “beautiful” financial reports.
However, for Su Ping, who knew a thing or two about Storm Gaming Company, he was optimistic about its revival plan.
It was because Storm Gaming Company was still acting arrogantly.
