Chapter 64 They all have to die!
Chapter 64 They all have to die!
The news quickly reached Little Ma's ears, and his brows furrowed with surprise.
"Why is Ding Sanshi so confident now?" he muttered to himself. "After years of focusing solely on aquaculture, why has he suddenly become so competitive again?"
In his view, the two sides were able to compete on equal footing ten years ago, but now the pig farm has long lost its former power and is no longer comparable to Xunteng.
But he was certain that Sun Shan alone would not dare to provoke a conflict rashly, even if he had several lives; it must be Ding Sanshi's doing behind the scenes.
But just how much profit would it take for Ding Sanshi to challenge him?
But after much deliberation, he still couldn't figure out the other party's intentions: "Does the pig farm really have high hopes for 'Operation Terrorist Hunt'?"
Recalling the positive reaction to the hands-on demo of "Terrorist Hunting" that Li Xiaoguang had introduced to him at Gamescom, he shook his head repeatedly. The performance of that game was simply not worth Ding Sanshi taking the risk of going head-to-head with XunTeng.
He had also speculated that the other party was secretly building up their strength and taking the opportunity to undermine his own "Tactical Special Forces"? But he quickly dismissed the idea.
Cologne trade fair is the perfect stage for building momentum, and everyone is eager to reveal their cards; no one will deliberately hide anything.
What deeper meaning could there be?
After reviewing the current business layouts of both parties, Pony Ma concluded that there were no major conflicts of interest between them.
A thought suddenly popped into my head: "Could it be that he wants to use us as stepping stones to steal the spotlight in the September market?"
He then quickly denied it, saying that although Ding Sanshi had lost his initial enthusiasm over the past decade and devoted most of his energy to pig farming, his brain was not rusted.
The two have been clashing for years and are seasoned veterans in the business world. How could they do something so absurd?
This is bizarre, absolutely bizarre! Even Little Ma can't figure out why his old rival is going crazy.
It can't be that they really dislike XunTeng!
When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it. This time, Little Ma wanted to take charge personally, but felt that the current pig farms were not quite up to the task.
He instructed his assistant beside him, "Ding Sanshi has become much more shrewd now, and I can't quite figure out the deeper meaning behind his actions this time."
"Since Li Xiaoguang doesn't have much to do right now, I'll have him keep a close eye on the pig farm for me. If there are any problems, he should report them directly to me and not act on his own."
"I need to think about the specific countermeasures; we'll discuss that later..."
As he gave the orders, Little Ma muttered to himself, "Could it really be that Sun Shan is brainless and leaked the information to us on his own?"
------
"Sun Shan, do you even have a brain? I told you to find a way to turn the situation around, and what you did was go and directly break ties with Xun Teng?"
The atmosphere in the office was tense. Ding Sanshi pointed at Sun Shan, unable to suppress his anger:
"I don't even dare to curse him directly, so I just try to find ways to sarcastic or sarcastic remarks about him."
"I watched the Red-Clothed Cult Leader run away back then."
"If you push Little Ma too far, what wouldn't he do?"
"What's the difference between what you're doing and actually shitting on Chow Yun-fat's head right there?"
Sun Shan shrank back and muttered softly, "The only difference is that I didn't poop on the spot."
Hearing this, Ding Sanshi felt a lump in his throat, his years of cultivated composure vanishing completely: "What are you muttering about? Just say what you want to say!"
Having been publicly called out, Sun Shan no longer tried to hide it.
There was no point in backing down now, so he forced himself to speak:
"Yang Yi has already clashed with Xun Teng twice before, and each time the commotion was much bigger than mine. I deliberately kept my post to myself, at most it was a few veiled sarcasm, not a complete falling out."
Mentioning Yang Yi only fueled Ding Sanshi's anger: "You dare compare yourself to him? Every time he confronts someone, he's always in the right, has a solid position, and is perfectly justified."
"If XunTeng wants to take action against him, they should first consider whether they can withstand the backlash from public opinion!"
"You lack the foresight to assess the situation and you can't produce a work that can command attention. If you could actually create a masterpiece like Overwatch, I would be the first to speak up for you without you even having to step forward."
"In terms of strategy and strength, you are no match for Yang Yi. Even he would never linger in a fight if he knew when to stop. He knows exactly where Xun Teng's bottom line is, do you understand?"
"So where does your confidence come from that you think you can beat XunTeng? And what makes you so sure they won't retaliate?"
These words jolted Sun Shan awake, and a wave of fear instantly surged in his heart.
He had previously only seen a small company like Beehive with no background, yet it was able to face Xun Teng several times without any problems.
They naturally assumed that with the backing of the pig farm, they would be more confident and Xun Teng would have to be more cautious.
But he completely overlooked the fact that he was worlds apart from Yang Yi in terms of vision, strength, and tactics.
Hearing the boss's implication that he wouldn't do everything in his power to protect him, cold sweat instantly soaked through his clothes.
His voice trembled as he asked hesitantly, "Boss, how should we handle this now? Maybe... we should issue a statement and shift the blame onto the intern?"
Seeing his timid and hesitant appearance, Ding Sanshi shook his head in disappointment, his tone suddenly becoming firm:
"It's too late to back down now. We might as well face it head-on! If we just bow down and admit defeat, outsiders will only think the pig farm is weak and pathetic, and they'll think I, Ding Sanshi, am a coward!"
"Furthermore, now that we've broken ties with XunTeng, we've also broken the monopoly of September Beehive. Next, we'll focus all our efforts on promoting 'Operation Terrorist Hunt' and launching more first-time recharge bonus events to at least recoup our investment."
Sun Shan acknowledged the order and walked out of the office, looking dejected.
Although the final decision went in the direction he had expected, he knew in his heart that it was just a helpless choice made when he had no other options.
Regardless of whether Xun Teng ultimately pursues the matter further or not, its situation is already precarious after this incident.
If the other party keeps pressing, I'm afraid I'll end up like Ji Feng.
Even if I don't go to jail, how will I live without a job?
The mistresses (mistresses three, four, and five) will not share his hardships.
I'll have nothing left soon!
Thinking of this, Sun Shan's eyes became bloodshot.
It's better for both sides to lose than for one to win. Since you're going to lose anyway, you should at least drag someone down with you!
Didn't the boss say Yang Yi was awesome? I'm going to take everyone down with me!
If I can't handle XunTeng, I can certainly handle you!
If you have the ability to take revenge on the pig farm, then go ahead. I wholeheartedly support you. Anyway, I can't stay at the pig farm any longer.
As a result, Sun Shan spent the whole afternoon thinking but still couldn't figure out how to guide public opinion towards the bee swarm.
Does making a good game really mean you can do whatever you want?
Wait! Do whatever you want!
Okay, very good, excellent.
Today I'm going to accuse you of monopolistic practices!
With a clear idea in mind, Sun Shan wrote furiously, and in less than an hour, he had written an article criticizing the bee colony and Yang Yi—a manifesto denouncing Yang Yi.
But Sun Shan felt that one article wasn't enough, so he wrote another one—"Ten Deadly Sins of Bee Swarms".
Haha, when autumn comes on the eighth day of the ninth month, my flowers will bloom and all other flowers will wither!
Ding Sanshi looked through the glass at Sun Shan, who was still working overtime and trying to make amends for her mistake, and nodded with satisfaction.
He's a bit stupid and spineless, but his attitude is alright. If Xun Teng doesn't pursue the matter... should we give him a chance?
