450: The cost of infringement
The distributor assumed they knew each other and simply let them chat in the lobby.
Su Yue sat in front of the General Manager and chuckled, "Did you come specifically to pick up goods this time?"
The General Manager nodded repeatedly, "Our hotel is opening a new branch soon. Which hotel are you from?"
When Su Yue and Liu Long heard the General Manager ask them back, they immediately understood that the General Manager hadn't recognized their identities.
Given this, Su Yue's face broke into a smile, "We're planning to open a hotel and think futuristic things are good."
Listening to Su Yue wanting to buy robots, the General Manager seemed to have found a business opportunity and leaned closer to Su Yue.
"I think we have a connection, so I'll reluctantly tell you something."
Su Yue glanced at Liu Long beside him, pointing outside, "Go help me buy a carton of cigarettes if you have time."
Since the General Manager wanted to speak to him alone, Su Yue certainly couldn't just say anything.
Liu Long understood Su Yue's meaning, nodded repeatedly, and quickly left the distribution company.
When the General Manager saw that Su Yue was so perceptive, he nodded with satisfaction, "It seems our future cooperation will also be pleasant."
Su Yue glanced around and said, "Are you also here to buy robots?"
The General Manager shook his head repeatedly, "If you want to buy robots here, you might not be able to."
Upon learning that he couldn't buy robots from this distributor, Su Yue immediately understood that there were others behind them.
Only by uncovering everyone around Wang Ye could he truly gain control of the copyright and patent.
The General Manager looked at Su Yue's curious face and chuckled, "Some things, I can't tell you directly."
In his eyes, some things couldn't be carelessly spoken.
Su Yue watched the General Manager's gaze fall on him and laughed heartily, "Business is easy to discuss, let's change locations later."
The distributor's company was full of surveillance, and neither party wanted to negotiate in such a place.
If they were filmed by the people inside, that video could become trouble for both of them.
Perhaps because the General Manager couldn't bear to lose a business opportunity that came to him, he quickly greeted the people inside.
The distributor didn't dare offend his patrons; he knew that selling his robots depended on these few people.
In just a few minutes, Su Yue followed the General Manager to the coffee shop across the street.
The General Manager took a deep breath, "Let's be straightforward. We'll propose five points, is that okay?"
Su Yue watched the General Manager's gaze fall on him, pretended to think for a moment, and nodded.
"As long as our hotel can buy those robots, we don't think five points is too much; we can give it to you."
At this moment, he only had one thing on his mind, which was to quickly uncover the people inside the factory.
Otherwise, their robots would only be sent out more and more. Once a substitute for future robots appeared, they would lose their early advantage.
Only by nipping the danger in the bud could they earn more money.
The General Manager originally thought Su Yue would bargain more or less, but who knew Su Yue had no intention of bargaining at all.
Just then, Liu Long walked in through the door with a carton of cigarettes.
Su Yue looked at the cigarettes in Liu Long's hand, took the bag casually, and placed it in front of the General Manager.
"This is a small token of our appreciation. See if you need anything else."
After going through the whole process, the General Manager was completely won over by them.
Su Yue watched the General Manager's gaze fall on him and couldn't help but ask the General Manager, "You see... how much time do you need?"
In his eyes, the shorter the time, the greater the power of the person behind it.
The General Manager thought carefully for a moment, "I need to buy them first, then you can buy from me."
The two finished all the preparatory work in the coffee shop, and the General Manager mistakenly thought he had gotten a bargain.
Who knew that Su Yue had recorded their entire conversation and sent it all to Yu Qing.
In just a few seconds, Yu Qing called back.
Since they had long become rivals, Su Yue didn't take Yu Qing seriously and hung up the phone.
Since Yu Qing was willing to betray them, Su Yue didn't need to give him any face.
Liu Long looked at Su Yue not answering Yu Qing's call, his face full of surprise, "Aren't we answering his call?"
Su Yue shook his head repeatedly, "Why should I answer his call? Without a face-to-face negotiation, I won't believe anything he says."
The current Yu Qing was not the same as before; he had also learned to record conversations.
As long as Su Yue accidentally said something wrong on the phone, both sides could have the other's weakness in their hands.
At that time, it would be very troublesome for Su Yue to persuade them.
Suddenly, the door of the private room was opened, and the General Manager walked up to Su Yue with a face full of anger, "You... are you Su Yue?"
Su Yue shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, "You just found out I'm Su Yue?"
His arrival here could only mean that Yu Qing had revealed Su Yue's identity.
Otherwise, there was no way he could have come here, as the General Manager had never met Su Yue before.
Su Yue glanced at the General Manager and chuckled, "Everything you just said to me, I recorded it."
The General Manager knew he had made a mistake, and his heart was filled with endless anger.
However, there was nothing he could do. He looked at Su Yue with a face full of anger, slammed the door, and left the room.
In just a few minutes, Su Yue called Yu Qing.
He knew there was a high possibility that Yu Qing would come looking for him, as the whole matter affected the hotel's prospects.
Perhaps because Yu Qing had been waiting for the call, the phone was answered before even the first busy signal sounded.
"Su Yue, what do you mean by this? You're causing trouble for our General Manager now?"
Su Yue listened to Yu Qing's voice, his face full of smiles, "If you continue to use that tone, I think we don't need to talk."
At this point, Su Yue held the biggest advantage and could completely control Yu Qing.
Just as he was about to hang up, Yu Qing's anxious voice came through, "Don't hang up yet, let's talk face-to-face."
Upon learning that Yu Qing was on his way, Su Yue shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, "Let's leave here first."
Liu Long looked at Su Yue, who had no intention of giving Yu Qing face, and laughed heartily, "Okay, then let's leave here first."

It didn't take long for the two of them to leave the coffee shop.
Shortly after they left, Yu Qing ran in through the door with a face full of anxiety and stood at the door of that private room.
Yu Qing originally thought Su Yue must be inside, but who knew Su Yue wasn't here.
He quickly found the coffee shop staff, wanting to ask about Su Yue.
However, the staff hadn't paid attention to the people in the room and knew nothing.
Just then, Su Yue called Yu Qing, "Yu Qing, if you have something to discuss, come to Far View (Yuantu) Investment now."
He felt that they had to talk face-to-face this time; there was no reason to give him face.
In just two or three hours, Su Yue arrived at the Virtual Future City where Wang Ye was located.
In Xiong Kuo's hands, this area was called Virtual Industrial Park, while Wang Ye changed it to Virtual Future City.
Su Yue originally thought it would take some time for Wang Ye to modify the decoration, but who knew he felt the sense of technology as soon as he entered.
Su Yue glanced inside, his face full of shock, "I didn't expect it! It's already so high-end inside?"
He had never thought that Wang Ye could give him a miracle and didn't react for half a day.
In just a few seconds, Wang Ye walked out from inside, his face full of embarrassment as he approached Su Yue.
"General Manager Su, what brings you here? What do you think of the decoration here?"
Su Yue looked at the surrounding walls and nodded slightly, "The money Far View (Yuantu) Investment gave you wasn't wasted."
Almost no one believed that Wang Ye could transform the Virtual Future City in half a month, but who knew he actually did it.
Suddenly, Su Yue seemed to think of something, took out his phone, and placed it in Wang Ye's hand.
Wang Ye's face was full of surprise, not understanding why Su Yue was showing him his phone.
Su Yue pointed to the contact information on the phone, "Look at this contact. Fire this distributor."
Before Wang Ye could say anything, Su Yue continued, "Make them recall all the robots they've sold."
Since they already knew where the robots were going, there was no problem in getting them back now.
Wang Ye saw that Su Yue had given him an order, so he could only agree and immediately called the distributor.
It didn't take long for the distributor's authorization to be revoked.
Without authorization, they naturally had no way to hand over the robots to outsiders.
Since the Virtual Future City had been transformed into this state by Wang Ye, Su Yue felt they could look around inside.
Su Yue glanced at Liu Long behind him and said to Liu Long, "General Manager Liu, let's look around inside."
Liu Long heard Su Yue say this and nodded slightly, "Of course, I'll go around inside with you."
Su Yue originally thought the Virtual Future City was only as luxurious as the entrance, but who knew the equipment inside had started to be assembled.
When Su Yue saw that the site inside had started to be assembled, his face was full of surprise, "This... you did this alone?"
In his eyes, one person shouldn't be capable of completing such a task.
However, Wang Ye nodded, his face full of fatigue, "You guessed right, I did all of this alone."
Xiong Kuo had taken all the equipment and people from the Virtual Future City, which meant there wasn't even one active person around him.
It wasn't that Wang Ye didn't want help, but that he simply couldn't find anyone to help.
To prevent Wang Ye from getting exhausted, Su Yue called Lan Zijun.
Lan Zijun thought Su Yue had made a breakthrough in the hotel aspect, but no one expected Su Yue wanted to talk about the Virtual Industrial Park.
Su Yue glanced at Wang Ye, his face full of seriousness, "Why didn't you send people to Wang Ye? Is he doing it alone?"
When Lan Zijun learned that Wang Ye was working alone here, her eyes widened, "What did you say? Wang Ye alone?"
She hadn't expected Wang Ye to be busy with the equipment alone, and she felt a lot of guilt.
Lan Zijun thought for a moment, "Have Wang Ye give me a list of how many people he needs, and I'll arrange it for him now."
Su Yue heard that Lan Zijun was willing to arrange people and felt relieved, "I need him to arrange it now. Send people as soon as possible."
Digital Future City and Virtual Future City were both properties under their name, and there was no reason for any trouble to occur.
As soon as he hung up the phone, Su Yue walked up to Wang Ye, his face full of seriousness, "If something like this happens again, tell me."
Wang Ye nodded slightly, "I was a bit embarrassed to trouble you, so... I couldn't help it."
In his eyes, he had already taken so much money from Far View (Yuantu) Investment, there was no reason to ask for more expenses.
Su Yue watched Wang Ye's gaze fall on him, his face full of speechlessness, "Don't say so much, just get the list as soon as possible."
Without a list, Far View (Yuantu) Investment had no way to arrange people to come here.
Just then, the phone in Wang Ye's pocket rang.
Wang Ye originally thought equipment had arrived, but who knew the security guards at the entrance found someone coming inside.
Since the security guards had never seen that person before, they were unwilling to let that person in.
Su Yue watched Wang Ye trying to stop that person from coming in and took a deep breath, "Ask who that person is?"
In Su Yue's eyes, the person who followed them here was very likely Yu Qing.
Only Yu Qing had the possibility of coming here; others didn't.
It didn't take long for Su Yue to take Liu Long to the entrance, where he saw Yu Qing pacing anxiously at the door.
Su Yue walked up to Yu Qing, his face full of smiles, "Yu Qing, I didn't expect to see you here."
Yu Qing heard Su Yue's voice, his face full of anger as he walked up to Su Yue, wanting to see what Su Yue had to say.
Su Yue pointed to the robots inside, "You'd better return your robots obediently; you don't have the authorization."
If Yu Qing insisted on keeping the items in their hotel, Su Yue might cause them trouble.
At this moment, Wang Ye walked up to Su Yue, his face full of seriousness, "Yes, the robots are all my patents."
Now, the patent holder was right here.
As long as Wang Ye pursued his responsibility, he believed he had no power to resist.
Yu Qing watched Wang Ye's gaze fall on him, took a deep breath, and forcefully suppressed his temper.
In his eyes, losing his temper here would only bring disadvantages, with no benefits whatsoever.
Given this, he could only talk nicely and try to keep all the robots in his hotel.
