May 23rd, Wednesday …
Just like yesterday, Pei Qian arrived at the office early in the morning and waited happily for Assistant Xin to report to him.
The building should have been sold in one day, right?
The asking price was not high to begin with. Shouldn't everyone be fighting for such a good deal?
At the very least, many people had the intention to trade.
However, Pei Qian did not see Assistant Xin report to him after waiting for a long time.
"Strange, where's Assistant Xin? Why do I feel so unreliable recently? "
"It's just selling a building. Is it that difficult?"
Pei Qian took out his cell phone and called Assistant Xin.
"How's the arrangement for selling the building? Have you found a buyer? "
"Even if they haven't decided, there should be a company that has the intention to buy, right?"
"Do they think the price is too high? We can discuss the specific conditions later. "
Assistant Xin replied, "Er … Boss Pei, are we still selling that building?"
Pei Qian was stunned. "What do you mean? Of course."
Assistant Xin hesitated for a moment. "But … Boss Pei, no company has any intention to acquire that building so far. They are not even willing to discuss it in detail."
"I asked the bosses of a few companies. They said that they respect Tengda very much and do not want to do such a thing."
"What's more …"
"The smart fitness drying rack has been sold out. Recently, the sales of our company's games, especially mobile games, have also increased significantly. Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, Fish-Catching Take-Out, and other physical industries seem to have ushered in a peak in customer traffic. Including the income from cell phones and other industries …"
"We have enough working capital. We might have had some shortfalls before, but not only have we made up for all of them now, but we have also earned a lot."
"Since we have no problems with our funds, why should we sell the building?"
"That was a building that you carefully selected to open Sloth Apartments after all. It's best not to sell it if we can, right?"
Pei Qian was speechless on the other end of the line. He fell into a daze.
"What the hell? What did they say? Don't want to take advantage of the situation? "Pei Qian almost thought that he had heard wrongly.
Tengda might be developing well in Jingzhou, but it did not deliberately befriend the local enterprises in Jingzhou, much less the big enterprises from other places.
He only had contact with Boss Li's Fu Hui Investments and the Lin Family's Shenhua Corporation. However, he did not take the initiative to befriend them. It was a complete coincidence.
Thus, Tengda Corporation did not have much of a relationship with Jingzhou's local enterprises and some large real estate groups.
Yet, these people actually said that they respected Tengda very much and did not want to take advantage of the situation?
Pei Qian was almost speechless. He wanted nothing more than to beg them to take advantage of the situation and share some of the pressure with him!
Assistant Xin answered, "Yes, Boss Pei. I chatted with a few bosses, and they all said that Tengda is a role model for Jingzhou enterprises. They all said that they admire Boss Pei for creating a business legend from scratch. They also said that if Tengda is in trouble now and needs help, they can lend a helping hand at any time. "
"There's no need to buy the building. They said that although they were businessmen, they knew what to do and what not to do. They said that they could not do something that would cause the people of Jingzhou to criticize them.
"…"
He suddenly had the urge to smash his phone to the ground.
What a lunatic!
The business world was like a battlefield. This was not a place that cared about human kindness. Why the f * ck were you being so polite with me!
Pei Qian paused for a long time before continuing, "What's going on with the increase in the game's revenue?"
Assistant Xin answered, "I didn't investigate this carefully, but I'm guessing that it should be because gamers spontaneously bought our game to spend after it was revealed that Tengda was in a financial crisis on the internet. Coupled with the aftermath of the 515 Games Festival, our game's income increased significantly."
"The income of other physical industries might have increased because of this."
"Also … after some enterprises knew that we were in trouble, they seemed to have done their best to help us. It might have had a certain impact."
Pei Qian frowned slightly. "Helped them as much as they could?"
Assistant Xin: "Yes, Shenhua Corporation, Jinding Corporation, and Fu Hui Investments seem to be seeking business cooperation with our company. They have given us a certain amount of benefits."
Pei Qian was completely speechless.
Li Shi! Lin Chang!
It's you two again!
Isn't this a scam?
Why are you guys getting involved?!
Pei Qian was furious. He had planned well. After the 515 Games Festival, he would sell the building and continue to spend money. The players would be happy, and Boss Pei would be happy as well.
In the end, he did not expect the building to not be sold!
What was worse was that not only did he not sell the building, but he also spent more and more money!
Once the news that Tengda was going to sell its buildings got out, all of them swarmed over, be it players or companies that had worked with Tengda before. They gave Tengda money as much as they could!
What should he do?
Assistant Xin asked, "Then … Boss Pei, are we still selling the building?"
Pei Qian remained silent for a long time. "No …"
How could they sell it now?
This building was no longer a simple building in the eyes of many people. It was a barometer of Tengda's current financial situation.
Selling the building meant that Tengda's cash flow was not good. Players would erupt with unprecedented enthusiasm to top up in the game. They could not let Tengda fall.
Only by giving up on selling the building would players feel that Tengda's crisis had passed and not continue to top up.
What's more, they already had a lot of funds now. How would they spend the extra money if they sold the building?
Pei Qian felt very melancholic after hanging up.
While he had to reconsider how to spend money after selling the building, he had to consider spending money again even if he did not sell the building now. These two feelings were worlds apart!
Pei Qian roughly considered his new spending plan.
The 515 Games Festival had already organized a wave of activities. If Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation did not continue the money-burning war, the System would probably not allow them to burn money on a large scale.
However, Pei Qian felt that Eric would not let the matter rest so easily.
I already believed you when you said that you wanted to burn money until Tengda's capital chain broke. Don't lie to me!
Thus, Pei Qian planned to split the funds he had on hand and could obtain in the future into three parts.
A portion would be left in the country to deal with the possible escalation of the money-burning war between Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation. A portion would be scattered overseas to continue burning money to promote GOG's overseas league. A portion would be left for the first large-scale store that was about to officially open.
At the moment, Tengda had a store in the shopping mall, but it was too small. It was only rented for Tian Mo to practice.
After practicing for so long, Tian Mo should have memorized the sales department's rules.
Pei Qian had also secretly gone there a few times. He confirmed that Tian Mo was indeed strictly following his instructions to receive customers. He could basically rest assured.
The new large-scale store had been handed over to Liang Qingfan to design. The renovation should be completed this week and they could officially move in.
Pei Qian planned to set aside a sum of money to decorate the store, recruit salespeople, and other expenses.
If the sales department could operate according to plan, they could open more stores and hire more salespeople, but it wouldn't affect the sales volume too much. Wouldn't they be able to spend a lot of money?
Pei Qian switched on his computer and painstakingly planned the next stage of spending money.
…
At the same time, at Long Yu Corporation's headquarters in Shanghai …
Zhao Xuming hurriedly knocked on Eric's office door.
"Bad news!"
"Tengda's building is not for sale!"
Eric could not help but be shocked. "How could that be? Could Tengda's funds have already been turned over? "
Zhao Xuming nodded. "I think so! Gamers went to spend money one after another after news of Tengda's funds ran out. The smart fitness drying rack was quickly sold out. What's more, it seems like several companies have secretly helped … "
Zhao Xuming quickly reported the situation he had learned.
He might not be able to understand the ranking of Tengda's various games on the best-selling list, the traffic of each Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, and the changes in the sales volume of the smart fitness drying rack were all obvious. They could be found out easily.
Based on these data and the information that Tengda was no longer selling buildings, even the silly netizens could deduce a simple fact: Tengda was rich again!
Eric froze, disbelief written all over his face.
He could not accept this fact for a moment.
Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation were burning money desperately. Dayak Corporation had also specially taken out a huge sum of money to help. What's more, they were still holding back from burning money. All sorts of money-burning activities, be it lucky draws or discounts, could recover to a certain extent.
Even so, it was very painful to burn money. If Eric did not have enough determination and perseverance, he would not have been able to persevere.
On the other hand, Tengda had organized the 515 Games Festival for free. It had obviously burned more money than Finger Games, and the effect was better.
He had thought that he had finally forced Tengda to its limits and had already started to sell buildings. It might still be too early to see the dawn of victory, but it at least proved that Tengda was not invincible. Even God would bleed.
However, the current situation was that God was indeed bleeding. However, the wound healed on its own in less than two minutes!
One had to know that Tengda had yet to receive a few payments, and the expenses of various projects were still going on as usual.
Under such circumstances, Tengda had actually relied on the players' spontaneous blood transfusions and the help of some brother companies to survive the crisis without any suspense?
Eric had originally thought that he could continue to organize activities and seize the market while Tengda's funds were flowing.
In the end, Tengda was already ready before their activities could even begin!
Eric felt like his worldview had been overturned. "How could this be? Gamers are rushing to give money just because there's news of a lack of funds?! "
"This is unbelievable!"
Eric could not imagine what kind of scene this was.
If Finger Games' capital chain was also problematic, would gamers fork out money to buy skins and help Finger Games tide over the difficulties?
It was impossible even if one thought about it with their feet!
In this world, only a very small number of companies had this kind of appeal. Such a company not only produced good products, but it also became the spiritual support of many people. That was why they could be so popular!
Zhao Xuming also sighed. "I thought that Boss Pei was courting death with this move. I never expected him to be reborn from death!"
"Could it be that Boss Pei had already expected that Tengda's reputation, which had been built up over the years, would play a key role at such a time? That's why he was so confident in spending money without worrying about the capital chain?"
"Then, what should we do next …"
Zhao Xuming's voice became softer and softer.
Both of them knew their current situation very well.
It was just like fighting a boss. They had used all their strength, medicine, and props. The boss could not hold on any longer and they saw the dawn of victory.
Unexpectedly, the boss squatted on the ground and took two breaths. Then, its health bar returned to full!
This feeling was really hopeless.
Eric remained silent for a moment. Suddenly, he thought of something and quickly said, "Put aside the new marketing plan that we previously set aside for now. Don't do it!"
"There must be a trick in this!"
They had originally thought that Tengda's funds were already stretched thin and would not be able to turn it over in the short term. Thus, they had already formulated a plan to burn money in the next stage. They wanted to take advantage of the critical period when Tengda was relatively weak to snatch a large piece of the market.
However, Eric suddenly chickened out when he realized that Tengda seemed to have made preparations and was waiting for them.
Boss Pei's methods were simply unpredictable and impossible to guard against. What was even more terrifying was that Boss Pei always seemed to be able to walk ahead.
What if Boss Pei had predicted Long Yu Corporation's plan to burn money in advance and was already prepared to block it?
If they continued to burn money foolishly according to the original plan, they might fall into Boss Pei's trap!
Eric said, "Cancel all plans. Let's not move for now and see what Boss Pei does!"
"We can't be tricked by Boss Pei again!"
Zhao Xuming nodded immediately. "Understood!"
