September 3rd, Monday …
Pei Qian had a worry-free weekend. He played games at home for two days straight until he was exhausted.
It was the weekend, and the entire Tengda Corporation was on holiday. As the boss, Pei Qian naturally had to rest well.
What? Some businesses might have problems during the weekend?
So what?
Xbiquge.biz] So what if it was.
All the departments were not working during the weekend. Even if they knew, they would not be able to do anything about it. What's more, they would only add to his worries and make him feel uneasy during the weekend.
Thus, he should disconnect from the internet and rest during the weekend. He should not think about the company at all.
Even if something big happened, he would think about it on Monday.
Pei Qian felt that he had already made the System obedient. He would be able to reap a lot of profits during each settlement cycle. Why should he be so worried?
Today was Monday. As usual, Pei Qian leisurely walked to the office after having lunch at home and prepared to go through the procedures.
He would first look at the reports from the various departments, wrap himself in a blanket, and watch some dramas. Then, he would knock off.
As for the next time … it would probably be Friday.
Of course, this did not mean that Boss Pei's work was easy.
He did not have to work, but he had to put in a lot of effort!
Whenever a department ran into problems, he had to personally go over and rack his brains to plan for the future development of each department. He had to think about how to incur losses, and he had to constantly be on guard for signs of danger … that was a huge drain on his brain cells!
Would he be able to recover if he did not rest and sleep well?
Pei Qian went to get a cup of coffee and then looked at the reports from the various departments as he sipped it.
Overall, everything was going quite well.
From the reports of these departments, there were only two things worth paying attention to.
The first was Upwind Logistics. The air transport business was gradually getting on track. However, there were many restrictions on delivery. Thus, most of the flights were not filled. In addition, the prices were not set very high. Thus, the air transport business was currently incurring losses.
Not only that, but to better coordinate with the air transportation business and increase the coverage, Lu Mingliang continued to set up Upwind Courier stations at important locations such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. Apart from the area around Jingzhou, Upwind Logistics' coverage in the three core regions was further increased.
Thus, while the air transport business was in operation, the losses were increasing.
Pei Qian was very satisfied with this. Indeed, Lu Mingliang was very reliable and worry-free!
The second was the progress of Eternal Fallen Samsara.
Pei Qian had not expected that there would be such a pleasant surprise when Little Tang took Li Yada away from the gaming platform.
This was because when Hu Xianbin left, he had handed over Eternal Samsara's work to Li Yada, and when Li Yada left, she had handed over the work to the original author, Yu Fei.
How did he come up with such a genius idea to find someone who didn't understand games at all?
It was simply too awesome!
Thus, when Li Yada called to ask for instructions, Pei Qian agreed without hesitation. He even wanted Yu Fei, the temporary chief planner, to work until the end of time.
But even so, 's development speed was unimaginably fast.
Based on the current speed, it would probably be officially online by the end of the month and meet the players.
Eternal Samsara was just a downloadable content. It used a large number of scenes and monsters from Repent and be Saved, but there were some minor adjustments.
In Repent and be Saved, the main character was an ordinary person. He had to fight his way into the six realms of rebirth and reincarnation and the endless hell. The process was extremely difficult.
In Eternal Fallen Samsara, the main character was a Martial God. He used his superb skills to fight his way into the endless hell and became the first Prison Warden.
was like a prequel. The setting was the same as Repent and be Saved. However, the world of the prequel looked more orderly. The main character was the destroyer of this order. , on the other hand, looked more sinister, chaotic, and hopeless. The main character was a struggling cultivator.
The result of this was that all art resources could be highly reused.
For example, the scenes in the original work could be used for the prequel after some slight changes, changes in style, and changes in route.
The monsters in the original work could become the monsters or NPCs in the prequels by changing their textures and adding a few new skills and actions.
In other games, this behavior could be summarized in two words: skin changing.
In fact, there was such a phenomenon in many games. After fighting a green-skinned goblin, a red-skinned goblin would appear. However, the red-skinned goblin's skills were much more powerful.
After all, the game's capacity and resources were limited. It would be a waste to only use a monster once. It would not hurt to use it a few more times. It would be fine as long as it was done well and did not make players feel that it was too repetitive.
How could game design be called slacking? That was called project resource management.
Eternal Samsara's DLC had a high degree of reuse of resources, and most of the actual development time was spent on the combat system.
In addition, Hu Xianbin and the others had already held back for two months to 'accumulate inspiration' and 'early planning' before the official development. All the content had been finalized, and everyone knew their work very well. Thus, the development was even smoother. Pei Qian pondered.
Since the development was going so fast, it was about time to arrange the early publicity work.
Coincidentally, Meng Chang's reverse publicity technique had already been mastered. The Eternal Fallen Samsara project could be handed to him without worry.
This time, Pei Qian had nothing to worry about. After all, Eternal Fallen Samsara had never intended to incur losses from the beginning.
With the success of Repent and be Saved first, this downloadable content would probably sell a lot no matter how badly Eternal Fallen Samsara was done.
In fact, there were two main goals. One was to place the downloadable content before the main story. Buying the downloadable content before buying the main story would greatly reduce the sales of Repent and be Saved. From there, it would reach the system's free threshold and stop Repent and be Saved from continuing to earn money. The second was to use the illusory copyright adaptation to retain the authors of the inspiration class and prevent them from going back to write books that earned money.
Thus, even if Meng Chang's plan failed this time, Eternal Fallen Samsara would be completely acceptable as long as it was not too popular.
Meng Chang's mentality should have stabilized after receiving last month's commission. Meng Chang would not run away regardless of whether he succeeded or failed this time.
All in all, this month's work seemed relatively easy and the overall situation was relatively optimistic.
As for Chao Lu Gaming Platform … it would not send a work report to Tengda for the time being because it was not a subordinate department of Tengda.
Pei Qian planned to call them later to ask about the situation there.
…
Just as he was thinking, someone knocked on the door.
Pei Qian looked up and saw He Desheng from Dream Realization Ventures.
"Eh? What's the matter? "
Pei Qian was a little surprised because He Desheng had not been here for some time.
Logically speaking, Dream Realization Ventures could operate on its own now. He Desheng only needed to filter the projects according to the corresponding rules. Profits and losses would all depend on the will of the heavens. There was no need for him to ask for instructions.
He Desheng obviously knew this very well. He said, "Boss Pei, there's nothing much with Dream Realization Ventures. I'm here this time mainly because I feel that I haven't reported work for a long time. I want to make another investment application. "
Pei Qian nodded. "Alright."
He had not paid much attention to Dream Realization Ventures for some time. It was good to hear about it.
He Desheng first gave a brief report on the current work situation, focusing on a few recent projects that were more profitable.
He especially emphasized that there were a few previous projects that had always failed. However, Dream Realization Ventures kept investing money and finally succeeded in turning losses into profits and making a lot of money.
In addition, he emphasized the matter of Starbird Fitness. At present, Starbird Fitness was rapidly expanding to Jingzhou and even the surrounding areas. Its valuation was growing rapidly.
Of course, there were also some projects that suffered larger losses. However, the funds that Dream Realization Ventures earned from other projects were enough to make up for these losses. They continued to invest.
In addition, Dream Realization Ventures' investment during times of crisis and withdrawal after the crisis was averted had also gained the friendship of many companies and won a good reputation for Tengda Corporation. Many companies were proud to be able to cooperate with Tengda.
Pei Qian listened and sighed silently.
Ai, it would be great if Dream Realization Ventures could lose more money than it earned!
"Alright, I think I understand."
Pei Qian completely lost interest in the content once he heard that Dream Realization Ventures was still making money. He did not want to listen anymore.
He Desheng nodded. He did not intend to say too much.
After all, these things were all within Boss Pei's plan. It would be a waste of Boss Pei's precious time if he said too much.
"In addition, Boss Pei, I would like to apply for additional investment in a project."
Pei Qian was not very interested and asked perfunctorily, "Oh, what project?"
He Desheng might be the person-in-charge of Dream Realization Ventures now, but he could only screen because of the company's special rules and could not take the initiative to invest.
In other words, other companies had to submit investment plans and wait in line before He Desheng could decide whether to invest or not.
This brought about a problem. For example, companies like Starbird Fitness that had submitted their investment proposal a long time ago but had not been able to get in line, or some companies that had not submitted their investment proposal at all, He Desheng could not invest in them.
He had to first obtain Boss Pei's approval to invest.
Moreover, he would definitely have to obtain Boss Pei's approval if he wanted to invest in these projects that he had already invested in outside the rules.
This time, he most likely had his eyes on a project and came to seek Boss Pei's opinion.
It was also because of this reason that Pei Qian lacked interest.
A project that He Desheng had his eyes on was definitely a project that would make money! Most likely, he could not pursue it.
However, it was obviously not appropriate to reject him without even asking.
Therefore, he would listen casually, go through the motions, and then find a random reason to reject him.
He Desheng said, "Boss Pei, I want to pursue Morning Dew Gaming Platform!
"From the current situation, your early arrangements for Morning Dew Gaming Platform have been a great success, and your exploration of the platform's model has also been verified!
"Now, the interrogation of the players' souls has worked. A large number of players and game manufacturers have entered, which also proves that the platform's model is extremely compatible with Tengda's model!
"Next, we should further invest in it so that it can develop and grow quickly!"
Pei Qian was stunned. A question mark slowly floated above his head.
