"Old Qiao, what the f * ck …"
Pei Qian almost fainted after watching the last paragraph.
Look, look, is this something a human would do?
I don't care if you explain the rules of the lucky draw and expose the industry's insider information.
However, don't put the blame on me!
Especially when Qiao Liang said that "Boss Pei was the one who really stood up to expose everything", he threw the blame away cleanly.
At that time, no matter how influential this video was, everyone would think that Boss Pei was the real exposer, and Qiao Liang was just a video creator who happened to interpret it.
Wasn't that causing trouble!
In fact, Pei Qian had not thought so much. He was quite envious when he saw Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation's lucky draw.
As for the Fitness Battle, they could refund it at will. That was only to let gamers refund more and spend less.
In the end, Qiao Liang misunderstood it again!
Based on the current situation and previous experience, it was useless to clarify now. That was because the players had already been bewitched by Qiao Liang. The topic was rapidly heating up.
Even if he explained, the players would not believe him!
After all, compared to the reason of 'simply wanting to incur losses', the reason given by Qiao Liang was more reasonable, sufficient, and convincing.
That was what made Pei Qian the most uncomfortable: No matter what he did, Qiao Liang seemed to be able to give a reason that gamers would believe more than his original motives …
Pei Qian felt that something was amiss as he watched the video become more and more popular.
That was because the public opinion on both sides was changing subtly.
Originally, many people felt that Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation's lucky draw was quite conscientious. Their impression of them had changed greatly, and the unhappiness from before had gradually shown signs of amnesia.
However, many people felt that something was amiss after watching this video.
It was said to be a lucky draw to give back to the players, but according to Teacher Qiao's video, this lucky draw was actually making money!
Many ballers had already started to take action and show off their results.
Probability was something that was very difficult to verify. That was because the probability would only be infinitely close to the true probability when the data was large enough. If the sample was not large enough, the probability would naturally be inaccurate.
It was precisely because it was difficult to verify that many game merchants were fearless and did all sorts of tricks.
However, Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation's lucky draw this time was huge. Many ballers participated. Therefore, when the ballers showed their lucky draw records, there would still be some reference value.
Most importantly, many people were staring at the final owner of the car.
Teacher Qiao had already made a judgment in the video. According to the rules of the lucky draw, this car would definitely not be given to an ordinary player. There would definitely be a spending threshold, and it would only be available after topping up to a certain level.
If the final result was as Teacher Qiao predicted, then it could prove that the probability of the lucky draw was indeed false. There were indeed rules hidden in the code that were not written.
Although these were unspoken rules that many people were used to, once it was made clear, it was no longer the case.
This lucky draw was indeed more conscientious than many other lucky draws. What's more, even after Qiao Liang's video was released, those who should draw would still continue to draw. It was impossible to achieve the effect of everyone boycotting it.
But the most important thing was the direction of the wind on the Internet!
Previously, many people had lost their memories because of this lucky draw. They felt that Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation's lucky draw was more conscientious than Tengda's. However, this video exposed a fact: this lucky draw only looked conscientious, but in fact, it could not compare to Tengda's sincerity!
Thus, the focus of attention on the internet tilted towards Tengda once again.
Discussions about the Fitness Battle, the Fully-Automated Smart Bickering Machine, and the 515 Games Festival once again gained the upper hand.
Many people who had wanted to participate in the lucky draw and grab a few earphones or keyboards to play with dispelled their thoughts after watching this video.
Instead of spending a lot of money on an illusory lucky draw with negative expectations, they might as well buy a smart fitness drying rack, top up money in the Fitness Battle, or participate in the 515 Games Festival.
At least they were full of sincerity!
…
Pei Qian could not help but feel sorrowful as he watched the trend on the internet change.
Wasn't this causing trouble?
Everything was fine at first. Why did this suddenly happen!
What was even worse was that players' interest in the smart fitness drying rack seemed to be growing rapidly after it merged with the Fitness Battle.
Qiao Liang was not the first live-streamer to introduce the smart fitness drying rack. This thing seemed to be about to become a trend. Many live-streamers and UP Masters were experiencing it!
The sales of the smart fitness drying rack also showed a rapid trend.
It would not be easy even if Pei Qian wanted it to sell slower because there were too many inventories. Upwind Logistics was also automatically shipping them. He could not interfere at all.
The situation might change drastically after this weekend …
Pei Qian could not sit still anymore.
"No, I have to do something."
"All the departments are off work now. It's definitely too late to come up with a new money-burning activity."
"Is there anything I can change directly …"
Pei Qian thought hard for a long time and suddenly had an idea.
Got it!
He immediately opened the backstage of the 515 Games Festival and used his highest authority to modify the values of a few rewards.
The 515 Games Festival was divided into many parts. For example, there were random rewards for epic items, rare skins, random free purchases of games, random red packets for a certain period of time, and so on.
Some of the rewards here were also based on probability.
For example, the probability of a random free order was 5%. In other words, there might be one free order in every 20 orders.
Pei Qian pondered for a moment and then doubled the probability of that happening.
The original probability of a free order was 5%, but it had been changed to 10%. The probability of obtaining rare items, rare skins, and red packets had also increased.
That was because he only needed to change a few numbers. Thus, he did not need to trouble the employees of the relevant departments. He could complete it himself very smoothly.
Pei Qian felt a little more at ease after changing it.
He hoped that Tengda's funds would run out as soon as possible if he gave more money. Thank you!
What's more, it was very difficult for gamers to verify the probability. Even if he changed it, he might not be discovered. If he kept a low profile, the risk would naturally be reduced.
All in all, he would do his best and leave it to fate!
The weekend was the peak period for gamers to be active. The money given out by the 515 Games Festival would definitely increase greatly after these probabilities were changed.
There was still hope of spending all the money if the situation was optimistic!
Pei Qian did not think too much about it. He decided to make plans after he arrived at the company on Monday.
…
…
May 21st, Monday …
Pei Qian flipped through his cell phone as he arrived at the office worriedly.
He was looking at the sales records of the smart fitness drying rack.
Obviously, the sales of the smart fitness drying rack had skyrocketed over the weekend!
The income from the Fitness Battle could not be underestimated either.
The smart fitness drying rack itself was a hot topic. Many gamers had already recognized its fitness effect after being paired with the Fitness Battle. With the help of many live-streamers and UP Masters, the sales volume could be said to be rising steadily!
Previously, a large sum of money had been accumulated as inventory. However, with the rapid sales of the smart fitness drying rack and the income of the Fitness Battle, they would naturally be able to recover quickly.
This was obviously very bad news for Pei Qian.
However, he did not know if the 515 Games Festival would be able to spend this money even more after the probability was changed.
The two employees could not help but mutter when they saw Boss Pei walk past them.
"Boss Pei doesn't look too good today."
"Don't you know? The news online has gone viral. It's said that there might be a small problem with our company's cash flow. "
"Huh? How could the problem of cash outflow be a small problem? It must be a big problem! The company might even fall into a crisis! Hasn't our company been doing very well? All the games are making money. Why would we encounter such a situation? "
"We earn a lot, but our expenses are also huge! Think about it, the movie key for Mission and Choice has been delayed and we have yet to receive a refund. So many projects have to spend money. In addition, there are so many benefits given by the 515 Games Festival … "
"Where did this news come from? Is it accurate? "
"These are all trade secrets. How can there be accurate information? However, looking at Boss Pei's expression, it was most likely accurate. What's more, have you noticed that Assistant Xin has been going to Boss Pei's office very frequently recently? Obviously, there is something very important. Of course, it might not be as serious as we think. With Boss Pei's reputation, it should not be difficult to raise some funds to tide over the crisis, but I don't think it will be that easy. "
"Then … what can we do?"
"What else can we do apart from working hard?"
"Why don't we reduce our expenses? Before this, I always came to the company to eat and drink. I drank coffee and ate snacks. Our company's snacks are expensive. Even the chocolate is the highest grade. I probably eat hundreds of yuan every day. I've decided that I won't eat any snacks in the company in the future. I won't take a taxi to reimburse after work in the future. I'll take the bus! "
"Yes, that's right. These might not be much money, but they add up. It can be considered a token of our appreciation. I won't drink coffee in the future. I'll drink plain water and advocate a healthy life! "
"Do the people from the other departments know?"
"Of course they know. I've already seen several internal groups discussing it. The key is that the credibility of this matter is quite high. I'd rather believe it than not. "
"The company is already like this, but Boss Pei did not think of reducing our benefits and treatment. Instead, he thought of how to rely on himself to tide over the difficulties. It's really touching …"
The two of them continued to work seriously after whispering to each other for a while.
Assistant Xin knocked on the door not long after Pei Qian sat down in the office.
"Boss Pei, did you … change the probability of the 515 Game Festival?"
Pei Qian nodded. "Yes, I realized that the probability was a little low. It was not strong enough, so I changed it. What's the situation with our funds now? "
Assistant Xin answered truthfully, "I couldn't hold on at first, but the sales of the smart fitness drying rack suddenly increased this weekend. The income from the recharge of 'Fitness Battle' will be received very soon. Once the money arrives, the financial situation will be greatly alleviated!"
"However … the 515 Game Festival has changed the probability, causing our estimated expenses to soar by more than 30%."
"In that case, it should not be a problem for us to finish the 515 Game Festival with our current funds. However, I'm afraid we won't have the spare energy to organize new activities after that."
"Of course, your goal of changing the probability has been achieved. Players on the internet have already discovered the change in the probability. Coupled with the previous lucky draw incident, the current trend on the internet is completely on our side."
Pei Qian's emotions were like a roller coaster as he followed Assistant Xin's report.
Pei Qian was quite happy when he heard that the expenses of the 515 Game Festival had increased by more than 30%. However, his face fell again when he heard the last paragraph.
What the hell?
The players have already discovered it?
What's more, the wind has completely shifted to our side?
Do you players have to be so sharp!?! The probability that was only changed over the weekend was discovered in just a day or two?
Pei Qian had thought that these players would not discover it until the end of the 515 Game Festival.
He sighed a little.
Forget it, so be it if they discovered it. In any case, the money had already been spent. The popularity and reputation created might be harmful to him in the long run, but he could not care less.
All in all, he had spent most of his funds. He could sell the building now, right?
He had bought so many buildings previously because he had no choice but to spend money quickly. Buying a building might be able to spend money quickly, but it would also take up the System Funds' quota and affect the final loss.
If he sold a building and continued to burn money, there would be fewer obstacles during settlement.
Pei Qian said, "Go and spread the news. Find a buyer and see which building is suitable to sell."
"We might have to continue burning money after the 515 Game Festival. We have to ensure that we have sufficient funds."
"We definitely won't sell the villa in the nameless restaurant. It's best to sell the Sloth Apartments that we bought recently and not many people have moved into. Of course, we can also consider transferring the Sloth Apartments that we have already moved into without affecting the interests of the tenants. "
"You can decide how to make the arrangements."
Assistant Xin nodded. "Alright, Boss Pei. I'll report to you at any time."
