When Li De stepped into the building adorned with the massive Sword and Shield Club logo, his expression was faintly amused.
Sword and Shield Club was quite well-known in the gaming world.
This club maintained professional teams for nearly ten different games, and Li De had watched their matches in the past.
It was just that technology advanced too quickly, games that were popular one year could lose all their players the next.
Many teams had simply faded from memory that way.
But for this club, whose name he had heard so often, Li De still felt quite a fondness. He needed a professional organization like this to provide him with data support.
Leading the way in front were ten Tianyue Headhunters staff, all dressed in professional business attire.
Six men and four women. The young, attractive woman walking beside Li De was the same person who had negotiated the cooperation with him earlier.
"Mr. Li, Sword and Shield Club is a very famous organization, definitely one of the leaders in the gaming industry. I'm sure you've reviewed their information.
Three months ago, a buyer had offered eighty million to purchase Sword and Shield Club.
Although in the end, that buyer didn't reach an acquisition agreement with them, we conducted a detailed investigation of Sword and Shield Club at the time.
Liabilities, operating conditions, revenue, it's all in the documents we provided you.
I believe everything you're looking for exists in this club."
Li De nodded calmly. He trusted Tianyue Headhunters' professionalism, he had already studied those materials in detail the previous night.
Sword and Shield Club indeed matched his requirements perfectly.
The other party was not merely a mature club, they also possessed many of the resources he needed.
A professional data analysis team, a professional team of career players, and even a professional virtual item sales team, this fit his requirements perfectly.
He needed a team capable of providing him with enough information, as well as professional players with a certain level of combat ability.
Sword and Shield Club undoubtedly met his expectations perfectly.
Now, the only question was: how much did the other party want to sell for?
The balance in his account at this moment wasn't even enough to pay for a single appearance fee of these ten elite staff from Tianyue Headhunters.
That was just how broke this flamboyant spender was.
When Chen Feng saw the Tianyue Headhunters people enter the conference room, he immediately noticed that strikingly handsome figure standing among them.
Wearing a classic Versace suit that made his already tall frame appear even more imposing, Li De exuded an undeniable elegance and aristocratic aura in every movement, so dazzling it almost hurt the eyes.
Anyone could tell at a glance how extraordinary he was.
Chen Feng instantly identified who the buyer must be today.
When he saw Li De's young face clearly, he breathed a faint sigh of relief.
What he dreaded most was a man in his forties or fifties coming to buy the club, because people of that age were usually no longer interested in games.
Having someone like that run a gaming club would undoubtedly be a disaster.
That was why he had turned down the previous eighty-million offer.
That buyer merely wanted to squeeze Sword and Shield Club for profit and had no intention of managing it sincerely.
Young people were different, loving games was practically second nature to them. It was rare to find a young person who didn't play. While the buyer might not necessarily manage well, at least he wouldn't make a mess of it.
"Hello, President Chen, this is President Li."
After a round of polite handshakes and introductions, everyone took their seats.
Li De sat opposite Chen Feng and Zhao Yue.
Tianyue Headhunters' team of ten split evenly to sit on his left and right; today, he was undoubtedly the main character.
Although there wasn't much more than a few coins in his pocket, just sitting there with that commanding presence, no one dared to ignore him.
Looking at the two people across the table, Li De's gaze was slightly amused. Chen Feng was fine, but Zhao Yue, this thirty-something elegant woman, made him subconsciously glance a few more times.
Dressed in a red professional suit, her voluptuous figure had the allure of a perfectly ripe peach.
On her delicate face, a faint beauty mark at the corner of her mouth lent a trace of sultry charm and temptation to what was otherwise a pure expression.
A textbook mature beauty, thoroughly ripened.
"The first moment I laid eyes on President Li, I was amazed. It is truly my good fortune to meet such a brilliant young talent," Chen Feng began with a warm smile, complimenting Li De as soon as they sat down.
Li De remained utterly unfazed. They were all old hands, who would take such words seriously?
"President Chen, you are the truly impressive one. To grow a modest, unknown club into something like this, it is a model for people like me.
I've heard you also run a rather large chain of restaurants? You are exactly the person I should be learning from."
"President Li flatters me. People always say 'young and promising,' but you are the real standard."
"You're joking, President Chen, you are the real example."
This exchange of hollow flattery went on for a while, until even the Tianyue Headhunters staff nearby were getting bored. Seeing the two men's expressions remain unchanged, they couldn't help but feel some admiration.
No wonder these people were bosses, just having a face that thick, how could they possibly fail?
At last, it was Chen Feng who couldn't stand the empty words any longer and took the initiative to get down to business.
"President Li, I believe you came today because you're very interested in Sword and Shield. May I ask why you want to acquire a gaming club?"
Li De's expression didn't shift in the slightest, it was as if all the meaningless chatter just now had nothing to do with him.
