"Mr. Yang, it's a pleasure to finally meet you!"
"Mr. Huang, the pleasure is all mine!"
After a rather mundane exchange of pleasantries, Mr. Yang enthusiastically began introducing the club's various activities.
Although it was already dinnertime, Mr. Yang showed no inclination to let Mr. Huang eat first. Instead, he eagerly led Huang He to the shooting range, inviting him to personally experience the thrill of shooting.
"Unlike the shooting ranges in China, we offer not only handguns but also rifles, semi-automatic rifles, automatic rifles, submachine guns, machine guns, sniper rifles, and more. If you're interested, I can even get you a Barret or a six-barreled Vulcan. I guarantee these are pleasures you absolutely cannot enjoy in China!" Yang Zhiyuan said with a chuckle, emphasizing the words "in China" heavily.
"Yes, I'm quite envious of you Americans. We don't have gun freedom back home!" Huang He lamented. Yang Zhiyuan nodded with satisfaction, only to hear Huang He continue, "Nor do we have the freedom to be shot!"
"..." Yang Zhiyuan's smile froze on his face.
"Mr. Huang, pick a gun and try it out!" Yang Zhiyuan suggested. "How about we have a shooting competition?"
"Sure, which gun are you planning to use, Mr. Yang?" Huang He asked.
"For target practice, rifles are naturally more accurate. I'll take a..."
Having sorted out these thoughts, Yang Zhiyuan's state improved significantly. At the very least, he no longer felt completely suppressed by Huang He's aura.
Indeed, money was the greatest source of confidence.
"That's right. We believe that the server products manufactured by our Jiangnan Server can fully meet your company's requirements, and our prices will undoubtedly be the lowest among all companies. By choosing to cooperate with Jiangnan Server, Yahoo can save at least over a hundred million yuan. I don't understand why such cooperation would be rejected," Huang He said with a smile.
"That is naturally because Yahoo values product quality over price. After all, Jiangnan Group is also in the network business and should understand the importance of network stability for a network product!" Yang Zhiyuan replied with a smile. "Your company's products have not yet been verified by the market. It is only natural that Yahoo is hesitant to take such a risk."
"Then you should at least give us an opportunity to participate in the bidding and evaluate our products to see if they possess qualified quality! Furthermore, all network services of Jiangnan Group currently use servers produced by our own Jiangnan Group. They have been in continuous service for over 200 days without a single major failure, and the number of minor faults is below 100. This data, even by international standards, would be considered above average," Huang He stated.
"This is all just your claim; I don't know if it's true or not!" Yang Zhiyuan smiled. "However, I highly value you, Mr. Huang, and therefore I am willing to give your company an opportunity, provided your company agrees to one small condition!"
"What condition?" Huang He asked.
"That on the homepages of your company's oo and Facebook products, you add a link to a portal website, which will then redirect to the homepage of Yahoo China. That's all!"
"As long as you agree to this small request, I can give your company the chance to participate in the bidding!" Yang Zhiyuan said with full confidence.
