Gena flew to the Imperial Capital with a team of seven or eight people.

Chen Yiyang didn't have a place to stay in the Imperial Capital, so he had to ask Zhang Yuling to help him find a spot to host a banquet for Gena and his group.

Apart from Natasha and Zhang Yida, Chen Yiyang also invited a transnational lawyer proficient in Russian and Russian law.

In the private room, Chen Yiyang let the experts Gena brought take a look at the item.

Then these experts discussed privately with Gena for a while.

"Can we talk alone?" Gena came over to ask if he could speak with Chen Yiyang privately.

"But I don't understand Russian, how about we bring Natasha along?" Chen Yiyang pointed at Natasha.

"No." Gena quickly shook his head refusing and then, after thinking for a moment, said in broken English, "We can use translation software plus English to communicate."

"Alright then." Chen Yiyang nodded.

He wasn't sure what Gena wanted to discuss with him in such secrecy.

But considering they were old acquaintances and that he had a team outside, he wasn't too worried.

So, Chen Yiyang and Gena moved to a separate private room.

"The experts just confirmed that it is indeed an antique from the Tsarist Russia period, and most likely a treasure used by Tsar Elizabeth. This antique is actually recorded in our country,

but following well-known events, the Tsar's family met a tragic end, and this egg disappeared. Historians believed it might have been destroyed in the catastrophe.

But fortunately, we found it again."

Gena spoke with excitement.

Even though the majority of the conversation was comprehended through translation software.

Yet Chen Yiyang could tell from his expression that Gena really valued this matter.

"So, you want to buy it?" Chen Yiyang asked.

"No, no, no." Gena grasped Chen Yiyang's hand, "My foreign brother. Can I trust you?"

"Of course." Chen Yiyang also held Gena's hand.

As long as the money is right, he's absolutely trustworthy.

"Our family needs this egg to prove our noble lineage." Gena softly said, "The fact that this egg ended up in Huaxia means that it was brought here when the nobles fled Russia.

However, there's no historical record of this egg ending up in Huaxia. So I hope for an undisclosed transaction."

Chen Yiyang understood what Gena meant.

This egg was a royal item.

If Gena's ancestors were some noble family, they could easily claim that this egg was a gift from the Tsar to their family.

Bringing it out now, it would not only commemorate the Tsar's kindness but also prove their noble lineage.

This is a highly sought-after identity in today's Russia, significantly boosting one's social status.

Therefore, Gena couldn't let anyone know that this rare Tsar's antique porcelain egg was purchased from abroad.

At least there shouldn't be any evidence of the transaction on paper, to prevent future disputes.

As for the people present today, as long as there's no recording, even if the news gets out, it can easily be suppressed.

After the deal, everyone would definitely sign a confidentiality agreement, and anyone who reveals information would have to pay a huge compensation.

"What are you willing to offer to take this egg from me?" Chen Yiyang inquired.

He didn't mention selling.

Since there couldn't be written evidence of this transaction, cash payment was likely impossible.

Gena was definitely looking to exchange for other benefits.

"Do you know the game War Thunder?" Gena suddenly asked.

"A bit."

Chen Yiyang had played the game before.

Russians always had a knack for games, especially military ones, where they were consistently dominant.

And War Thunder, unsurprisingly, was an excellent war game.

The most talked-about aspect of this game is probably that many of its players are active military personnel.

The tanks, planes, and other vehicles in the game were made based on public data.

Of course, for some countries, even though they had published data of their active equipment, these data were certainly not accurate.

As a result, the game data of some tanks and planes had gaps when compared to their real-world counterparts.

Some players couldn't tolerate this.

For instance, a Briton, an active tank commander and a War Thunder player,

was dissatisfied with the performance and data of his country's tanks in the game.

He went ahead and uploaded screenshots of classified documents they were given by the official channel, and even pointed out unreasonable designs made by the game developers.

Therefore, the British Ministry of Defense personally confirmed that this man indeed leaked national secrets, and he was arrested directly.

And incidents like this happened more than once. The real data of many countries' active tanks and planes were publicly released by players just to prove the game developers' figures were wrong.

This demonstrates the game's popularity.

"I can give you the game's franchise rights in Huaxia." Gena proposed his offer.

"For five years, all revenue from the game in Huaxia will belong to you. After five years, we'll renew the revenue-sharing contract."

After hearing Gena's terms, Chen Yiyang was deeply impressed.

This guy was really going all out.

War Thunder could easily make tens of millions in pure profit annually in the country.

A few billion in five years wasn't a problem.

This deal was worth it.

Chen Yiyang immediately agreed.

But then he remembered something and asked, "Isn't this game currently under Tengxu's franchise?"

"Their franchise is expiring this month, and we haven't concluded our renewal discussions," Gena clarified Chen Yiyang's doubt.

Although Chen Yiyang knew that taking the War Thunder franchise away from Tengxu would probably offend their gaming division again,

it didn't matter, as the matter with the Extreme Path Team was still unresolved.

Furthermore, they were just about to promote their SLG game to compete with Tengxu's.

So, adding War Thunder didn't really matter.

"Make sure to retrieve user data from them," Chen Yiyang reminded Gena.

He didn't want to be stuck without the player data when he took over the local server franchise.

"Don't worry, it's written in our contract that you will definitely get the data. We can sign the contract within these few days."

It was evident that Gena was eager to finalize the deal quickly.

So, Chen Yiyang had to invest heavily to hire a professional legal team to handle it.

In the meantime, he also started looking for a professional team in the country to prepare for taking over War Thunder's servers in a month.
