Pei Qian did not pay much attention to it at first. After all, it was just snacks. Everyone could eat them if they wanted to or not. Tengda did not have a quota for snacks. There was nothing to make a fuss about.
However, Pei Qian felt that the employees' attitudes were a little strange.
The relaxed atmosphere seemed to have disappeared. It was replaced by a slightly solemn atmosphere. A few employees were even secretly watching him.
That made Pei Qian feel that something was wrong!
He came to an employee's desk and asked, "I remember that you always ate a lot of snacks before. Why didn't you eat any today? Are you tired of eating snacks recently? Do you want to change another batch tomorrow? "
The employee quickly shook his head. "No, no, no. Boss Pei, I just want to lose weight and stop eating snacks for a while."
"Lose weight?" Pei Qian sized him up. This guy was more than 1.7 meters tall and weighed only about 60 kilograms. How could he lose weight?
He should at least find a better excuse, shouldn't he?
Pei Qian looked at another employee next to him.
The employee quickly said, "Yes, yes, Boss Pei, I want to lose weight too."
Pei Qian looked suspicious. "Aren't there low-calorie snacks in the snacks area? They won't gain weight. "
"What's going on? If you don't say anything, I'll ask the administrative department to change a new batch of snacks! "
The two employees could not hold it in anymore when they heard that they were going to change a new batch of snacks.
That was because their original intention of not eating snacks was to save some money for Boss Pei and reduce the company's daily expenses. If Boss Pei mistakenly thought that they did not like to eat snacks and changed a batch of snacks, wouldn't that be even more wasteful?
The two employees looked at each other and knew that their reason for losing weight was completely untenable. They could only say, "Boss Pei, we heard that the company has a little problem with its funds … we are all part of Tengda after all. It is everyone's responsibility to save money …"
The other employee immediately added, "Yes, Boss Pei, don't worry. We will definitely not hold the company back at critical times!"
Pei Qian raised his eyebrows, unhappy at that moment.
Everyone's responsibility to save money?
Is that even human?!
How much money can you save by not eating snacks? You're not even willing to let me spend this small amount of money. How dare you be my employees?!
You're not holding the company back?
You're not dragging the company down, you're dragging me down!
At first, Pei Qian wanted to reprimand them. However, when he saw the other employees staring at him, he held himself back.
No, I can't berate him.
Now that his every move was under the watchful eyes of his employees, what if he showed some extreme behavior?
It was very likely to make the employees even more certain of their original conjectures?
It might even spread to other departments through the grapevine.
What if all of Tengda's employees felt that the company was in trouble and wanted to work together? What if all of the company's expenses were reduced?
Wouldn't that mean something big had happened?
Encountering such a situation?
He had to deal with it calmly.
At that thought, Pei Qian put on an amiable expression.
With a smile on his face, he made people feel as if they were bathing in the spring breeze. "Why would you have such thoughts?"
"When did the company run into financial problems? Don't believe the rumors outside?
Was that all fake news released by other companies?
This is an unprovoked attack on our company! "
"You've seen the results of the 'Mission and Choice' movie and game. Otto Technologies' new cell phones and smart fitness drying racks are also well-received. How could there be financial problems?"
"Our company has plenty of funds. Don't worry too much!"
"What's more?
The company wants to develop?
It's not based on saving. Just the snacks you eat, taxi reimbursement, and various other benefits, how much money can you spend on that? "
"You might as well put your energy into work. Eat more snacks and do your work well. That's how you truly contribute to the company!"
The two employees quickly nodded. "Alright, Boss Pei?
We understand! "
Pei Qian immediately said, "Quick, get some snacks.
Eat more before you get off work. Go, go! "
Under Pei Qian's urging?
The employees came to the pantry and returned to their desks with a few bags of snacks.
See this?
Pei Qian nodded in satisfaction.
Very good?
That's how it should be.
He no longer had any other requirements for these employees now.
It seemed a little extravagant to hope that the employees would slack off and delay the progress of the work. However, they should at least eat more snacks and drink more drinks, right?
What's the use of me keeping you if you don't even have this?!
Pei Qian left in satisfaction when he heard the sound of chewing potato chips in the office.
He might be able to find a buyer to sell the building tomorrow. Happy!
The two employees ate their snacks and whispered to each other as they watched Boss Pei leave.
"This is bad. It looks like there's a problem with the funds."
"What do you mean?"
"Boss Pei in adversity! Look at how Boss Pei is speaking to us so amiably and calmly. He seems very relaxed. However, the old employees who were familiar with him knew that the more this was the more it meant that Boss Pei was in adversity! Otherwise, would there be a need to explain so much to us? "
"That's right! Boss Pei would always think about problems calmly and worry about the next stage of development in advance. Boss Pei would always use optimism to infect everyone in adversity. From the looks of it, he is indeed in adversity! "
"What should we do?"
"I think we have to believe in Boss Pei. We can't let his efforts go to waste. Boss Pei is right. We won't be able to save much money even if we don't eat snacks. We still have to work hard and create more results for the company! As for this time, I believe that Boss Pei will definitely lead us through this! "
"Yes, believe in Boss Pei!"
The two of them ate their snacks and continued to work seriously.
At the same time, some employees opened their internal chat software and chatted with colleagues and friends from other departments about this matter …
…
That night …
In a villa in Ming Yun Villas.
Lin Chang of Mythical Entertainment, Li Shi of Fu Hui Investments, Xue Zhebin, Zhou Muyan of Sun Strike Studios, Yao Bo of Jinding Corporation, Ding Gan, the boss of SUG Club, and a few other local investors in Jingzhou with Li Shi were all gathered.
A few of them were not in Jingzhou at first. They had just arrived during the day.
Lin Chang looked at Li Shi. "Is the news reliable? Is Boss Pei really going to sell the building? "
Li Shi nodded. "It's absolutely true!"
Zhou Muyan looked a little surprised. "It can't be, right? Boss Pei's two new games have been a huge success. Would he be short of money? "
He had been busy with Sun Strike Studios in Shanghai all year round and did not pay much attention to Tengda's situation. Thus, he instinctively did not believe it when he heard the news.
Li Shi nodded slightly. "You'll know after calculating Tengda's recent expenses. With Boss Pei's way of spending, it would be a god if the capital chain could withstand it."
He briefly analyzed Tengda's situation, including the fact that Mission and Choice had yet to be paid back, the large backlog of smart fitness drying racks, and the large-scale spending on the 515 Games Festival in order to compete with Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation.
After a simple explanation, Li Shi said, "Tengda has indeed expressed its intention to sell a building and hopes that the funds will arrive as soon as possible."
Lin Chang slapped his thigh in frustration. "There's actually such a thing? It's my fault! "
"If Boss Pei hadn't spent a huge sum of money to help build Slow Movement Workspace, we wouldn't have had to sell the building for this bit of working capital!"
"At that time, Boss Pei very generously offered to set up Slow Movement Workspace with us. He even personally designed the first game and finalized the first product. He even asked Shang Yang Games to help. I didn't think much about it at the time. Who would have thought that Tengda's internal funds were actually quite tight?"
"Under such circumstances, Boss Pei actually squeezed out a sum of money. He would rather sell the building to help. I'm really ashamed!"
There was no doubt about Tengda Corporation's revenue.
The new games and two digital products had all been a huge success. They would definitely earn a lot of money. Thus, Boss Pei selling the building was definitely not an internal problem of the company. It could only be said that it was to turnover funds and deal with the price war between Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation.
However, even so, taking out the company's precious liquidity to help set up Slow Movement Workspace was a very touching act!
Li Shi looked serious. "We have received a lot of favors from Boss Pei. We cannot sit back and do nothing now that Boss Pei has encountered some difficulties!"
Everyone nodded.
There was no need to talk about Li Shi and the other local investors in Jingzhou. They had already earned a lot of money by following Boss Pei. They were just short of treating Boss Pei like the God of Wealth.
The others, such as Zhou Muyan of Sun Strike Studios and Yao Bo of Jinding Corporation, had benefited a lot from the GPL league even though they did not have much business dealings with Tengda.
Everyone had paid a high price to buy a spot in the GPL league back then. Now, it had proven that they had definitely bought the right spot.
That was because the GPL league's slots were already out of print. If there were other clubs that wanted to enter, they would have to buy the slots from them.
Given the current popularity of the GPL league, the price of the slots had almost doubled. What's more, it would definitely continue to rise in the future!
Even if they did not consider the price of the slots, the popularity of the GPL league was so high that the advertising effect it had brought them had long earned back the cost of buying the slots.
What's more, Boss Pei had always spared no effort in promoting the GPL league. They were all beneficiaries.
Yao Bo said, "On the surface, GOG and IOI are fighting a price war. It involves Tengda Corporation and Finger Games, but it obviously affects us as well."
"Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation created the ICL league to fight against the GPL. We are all aiming at the popularity of the GPL. In fact, we are all in this together!"
Zhou Muyan also nodded. "Yes, this is a matter of reason. We have to help!"
Ever since Sun Strike Studios bought a GPL slot, they had tasted the sweetness. Through the popularity of the GPL, their game's revenue had increased greatly.
The popularity of the GPL was equivalent to Sun Strike Studios' income. How could they not be concerned?
Seeing that everyone had quickly reached a consensus, Li Shi asked, "How exactly should we help?"
