May 24th, Thursday …
At 10 AM, Pei Qian went to Fish-Catching Internet Cafe for brunch before leisurely walking to the office.
He came very early two days ago mainly because he was looking forward to selling the buildings.
Now that the buildings were not being sold, he naturally had no motivation to come early.
Once he arrived at the office, he saw the employees taking a lot of snacks and coffee from the water bar. It seemed like everything had returned to how it was before.
No, they seemed to be taking more than before?
Pei Qian could not help but nod slightly.
Very good! This is what a good employee should be like!
Although the employees could not eat much even if they ate as hard as they could, it was a good thing to make Boss Pei happy.
He should have smiled, but he could not be happy at the thought of the huge pressure of spending money.
Thus, he quietly entered his office.
Two employees looked up at Boss Pei's back and began to whisper.
"Looking at Boss Pei, our company's crisis has really passed?"
"Yes, this is Boss Pei in good times. Looking at Boss Pei's serious face, the company's funding problem must have been solved. We can eat without worry!"
"It was solved so quickly … I don't know if the problem was not that big in the first place or if Boss Pei is too amazing."
"It must be because Boss Pei is too amazing! To put it bluntly, the funding problem was a problem of money. How could it be easy to get money? However, Boss Pei just sat in his office for a few days, and a huge sum of money immediately came into his account. Gamers all took out money, and other companies all extended a helping hand. Tengda solved the problem that was as difficult as ascending to heaven for others! "
"That's right, I also heard that this crisis helped Tengda establish a very high prestige! It had the effect of intimidating competitors! "
"What do you mean?"
"Tengda has some competitors in various fields, right? I heard before that some companies actually wanted to take advantage of Tengda's funding problem. However, before these companies could do anything, Tengda's crisis had been resolved! "
"Ah, this is just prevention, right? How could it be intimidating competitors? "
"Think about it, when ordinary companies encounter funding problems, they would often be badly battered. They would have to rob Peter to pay Paul, and they would be in a sorry state. However, what if Tengda encountered funding problems? It was easy and easy, leveraging on others' strength to fight back! The players took out their money, and the other companies also lent a helping hand. It was easily resolved! Would our competitors still dare to wage a price war with Tengda if they saw this? "
"I see! What about Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation? "
"Heh, them? They were probably the most shocked. They had wanted to kill Tengda while it was weak, but they did not expect Boss Pei to resolve it so easily. I think they should stop for a while. At least, they won't dare to cause trouble in the short term. "
"However, I think Boss Pei might not let them off. As the saying goes, it is better to cut off one finger than to injure ten fingers.
Wait for us to recover?
Shouldn't we settle the score? "
"I don't know about that, but given Boss Pei's personality,
I'm sure they won't let them off easily … "
…
In the office?
Pei Qian sneezed.
"Achoo!"
"The air conditioner is a little too high …"
Pei Qian silently wrapped himself in the blanket again.
It was almost June. Was Jingzhou's weather getting hotter by the day?
Therefore, the air-conditioning in the building was on full blast.
Everyone had to bring a coat to work in case it was too cold in the office.
The blanket that Pei Qian had not used for the entire winter?
It came in handy again.
He switched on his computer?
He checked Finger Games China's official website.
He did not find what he was looking for.
He then checked Long Yu Corporation's official website, as well as the official Weibo of Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation.
In the end, he found nothing!
"What's going on?"
"Logically speaking, shouldn't it be time for Eric to retaliate?"
"Why is there no movement at all?"
Pei Qian had predicted that Eric would continue to burn money after the 515 Games Festival and continue to put pressure on Tengda. He had specially set aside a portion of funds for this?
It was used to deal with Eric's money-burning plan.
The enemy will not move?
I will not move; I will move when the enemy moves.
In any case, as long as Eric burned money, Pei Qian would find a way to fool the system … Oh, no, a legitimate reason to counterattack. He could burn money according to the approximate scale of the other party?
After floating for a while, he came up with a money-burning plan.
Unexpectedly, the other party seemed to be dead?
There was no movement?
"Your efficiency is too low. Shouldn't you have come up with a new plan during the 515 Games Festival? Why hasn't it come out yet? "
"Wait a little longer."
Pei Qian wrapped himself in the blanket.
He leaned back in the boss's chair and watched a movie. Then, he watched a few episodes of foreign dramas?
Finally, he played games for a while.
In the blink of an eye?
More than four hours had passed?
It was almost three in the afternoon.
Pei Qian had eaten breakfast at ten in the morning, so he was not hungry at all. He was prepared to sneak away at four and have a meal at Fish-Catching Internet Cafe. His meal for the day would be settled.
But before that, he had to spend an hour to finalize his new money-burning plan and arrange the money that he had previously reserved before he could leave in peace.
However, Pei Qian was stunned when he opened the official websites of Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation, as well as the official accounts on Weibo.
There were still no new announcements!
Pei Qian finally realized that something was wrong!
The 515 Games Festival had ended yesterday. No matter how inefficient Eric was, there should be a new money-burning plan today, right? In the end, there was still no movement even at three in the afternoon.
That meant … Eric would probably not make any new moves in the short term.
Pei Qian felt like an innocent young man who had been deceived.
"Liar!"
"Didn't you say that you would burn until you die? Why did you give up after encountering a little setback? "
"What about my newly earned money?"
Pei Qian was speechless. That was because if Eric stopped burning money, he would definitely be restricted in terms of the amount even though he could continue to burn money through activities.
The system would not care if it was an ordinary marketing activity, but these activities would most likely make money. On the other hand, the system's supervision was flexible if it was purely spending money. The more intense the market competition, the higher the amount of money that the system allowed.
Pei Qian would not be able to spend any more money if the other party stopped while he was doing so!
At that thought, Pei Qian's remaining good impression of Eric was greatly depleted.
Back then, Eric was the one who wanted to fight a money-burning war. Pei Qian was overjoyed and immediately accompanied him. However, he did not expect Eric to suddenly give in midway. Pei Qian's spending of money had an effect. Gamers all paid to support him, and the smart fitness drying rack was also selling well … Not only did he earn money, but he also earned reputation!
Then, Pei Qian wanted to spend the money he earned. Eric was not playing anymore!
Don't you think it's infuriating?
Pei Qian refreshed the page a few more times before reluctantly accepting the fact that Eric would not be fighting a money-burning war in the short term.
He had been looking forward to it for nothing!
Pei Qian instantly felt bored. If he had known this would happen, he would not have come to the office. Wouldn't it be nice to sleep comfortably at home?
Of course, Pei Qian did not intend to let Eric off just like that.
Don't burn money just because you don't want to? How could there be such a beautiful thing in the world!
Previously, Pei Qian had already reserved a portion of money for the publicity and promotion of GOG's overseas league. Tengda would have more funds coming into its account next. At that time, he would find a suitable time to conduct another wave of money-burning activities and force Eric to keep up with the pace!
He wanted to run away after teasing him? How could it be that easy!
Pei Qian was just about to leave the office and go home to sleep when his phone rang.
He looked at the caller ID. It was Lin Wan.
"Eh?"
"Could Slow Movement Workspace have encountered some difficulties?"
Pei Qian quickly picked it up.
"Boss Pei, I have something to discuss with you. The research and development of the VR glasses is already in progress. However, after several revisions to the plan, we realized that the original research and development funds did not seem to be enough. If we want to achieve the best performance now, we have to increase the money or lower the level of the hardware configuration slightly … "
Pei Qian perked up when he heard that.
Not enough money?
That's great!
This was like sending charcoal in snowy weather!
Pei Qian immediately said, "What are you waiting for? Increase the money! How much exactly? Er … wait a moment, I'll go over now! "
…
Pei Qian arrived at Slow Movement Workspace less than half an hour later.
He was not here for money this time. He also wanted to see how Slow Movement Workspace was doing.
The office area, which was basically the same as Tengda's, was already filled with people. There were not many empty seats left. The employees were all doing their jobs and working seriously.
Lin Wan introduced, "Boss Pei, I carefully selected these people and recruited them. Only a small portion of them are locals of Jingzhou. Many of them were poached from Guangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai, and other places with their families."
"Look at everyone's working attitude, right? Is there anything that needs to be improved? "
Slow Movement Studio's first game was a VR game. What's more, even though the VR glasses were developed by the people from Shenhua Corporation, Slow Movement Studio also had to participate in the design and docking. They had to make the game and the equipment highly compatible.
Thus, some of the core employees in Slow Movement Workspace had to have VR-related design experience. At the very least, they had to have a deeper understanding.
After all, VR games were a different form of game compared to traditional client-side games and mobile games. There was a huge difference in the game interface layout, operation methods, and gameplay.
Jingzhou did not have so many professionals. Thus, Lin Wan had sent people to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and other first-tier cities to poach people. That was how she managed to gather the current team.
Many of them were originally unwilling to change cities. However, Slow Movement Workspace had offered them very high treatment and gave them a lot of subsidies. In addition, Tengda Corporation's operation over the past few years had made Jingzhou a holy land in the hearts of many office workers. That was why she could successfully poach them.
Pei Qian scanned the office. "If we have to improve … I think everyone eats too little snacks."
