The rewards listed by the system were all rewards that were currently in effect. Other than that, there were also some one-time rewards, such as completing learning missions that would reduce a certain amount of the System Funds, or random technological breakthroughs. Rewards that had already been used up were not included in this list.
Pei Qian heaved a sigh of relief after completing the settlement.
It was mainly because he had relaxed mentally.
As for his body, Pei Qian slept until he woke up naturally every day. He also ate Fish-Catching Take-Out all the time. His nutrition was more balanced, and his body was better.
However, Pei Qian could not rest immediately. In order to ensure that all the projects could be completed before the next cycle's settlement, he had to assign tasks to the various departments.
After that, Pei Qian would have one to two months of rest time that he did not have to worry about.
Pei Qian felt a little emotional. Time passed really quickly.
In the blink of an eye, this was already the tenth settlement.
Pei Qian felt that his growth and improvement were quite obvious. At the beginning of settlement, he had been helpless to earn money. Now, he could steadily incur losses and obtain special rewards.
Obviously, the system would make certain adjustments to the rules as Tengda Corporation continued to grow.
He just didn't know when the next system update would be.
Pei Qian felt that he had to seize the opportunity while the system was not updated.
Otherwise, based on the System's nature, Pei Qian would not be able to handle another System upgrade based on the Matthew Effect in the future.
Pei Qian's management model for Tengda Corporation was completely different from how it was at the beginning.
In the beginning, Pei Qian only wanted to incur losses and did not have any specific plans. Once one business was profitable, he would open a new one without hesitation.
As a result, all the departments inexplicably joined hands.
There were too many departments in Tengda Corporation now. Pei Qian could no longer manage them all. Most of the time, he let some departments that he could not manage be left alone.
Now, Pei Qian's strategy was to grasp the big and let go of the small.
In the past, he had always wanted to court death by turning a profitable business into a loss-making one, but he found that the effect was not good. Not only did he not lose money, but he also earned more.
Thus, if Pei Qian did not have any good ideas for businesses that were already profitable, he would not touch them.
Letting them slowly earn money was better than letting them suddenly become popular after he gave them some pointers.
It would be more practical to focus on the new industries that had a higher chance of incurring losses and strive to achieve success in one fell swoop. It would be more practical to lose all the money earned from the other industries at once.
In addition, Pei Qian could not be bothered with some industries that involved the livelihood of the people, such as Sloth Apartments, Fish-Catching Take-Out, and the like. It would be good if they were to incur losses, but they would not be able to earn a lot of money. He would just treat it as a contribution to society while incurring losses.
There were still many things to do during this cycle. Pei Qian had even found a small notebook to jot them down, afraid that he would forget them.
"Where should I start?"
"Hmm … I'll start with the games department."
Pei Qian took out his small notebook and flipped through it. At the moment, Tengda Corporation actually had three games departments. They were the original Tengda Games department, Shang Yang Games, and Slow Movement Workspace.
Tengda Games had already decided to develop Eternal Fallen Samsara. Slow Movement Workspace had also confirmed that they were going to make Real Estate Agent Simulator.
The only thing that Shang Yang Games was going to do was not confirmed.
"I have to do a project with a very low chance of success this time!"
Pei Qian flipped through the types of games that Tengda had already created while thinking about what kind of new project he should arrange for Shang Yang Games.
…
…
August 1st, Wednesday …
In Shang Yang Games' conference room, Pei Qian was prepared to lead everyone to brainstorm.
That was because he had thought hard for a long time yesterday but could not think of a good idea.
He could only say that a person's intelligence was limited.
Perhaps he would come up with a good idea after brainstorming with everyone today?
Ye Zhizhou, Wang Xiaobin, and the other core members were all present. Everyone was obviously looking forward to the new game that they were going to create this time.
Tengda Games had already confirmed that they were going to make Eternal Fallen Samsara. It might only be Repent and be Saved's downloadable content, but anyone who understood the game's mechanics would know that it was not just a downloadable content.
It was only slightly smaller in size. In fact, the game's mechanics had been completely changed. It was not a problem to say that it was a sequel to Repent and be Saved.
Shang Yang Games and Tengda Games had always been competitors. Since Tengda Games was already going to create an outstanding game, Shang Yang Games could not fall behind!
With Boss Pei's supervision, it would definitely be a classic this time. There was no doubt about that.
However, the new project this time was a little different at the establishment stage.
In the past, Boss Pei would point out a few directions for everyone. These directions might look a little vague, but they were all puzzles given by Boss Pei. In fact, Boss Pei had already thought of the ultimate form of the game.
Everyone just had to follow the clues given by Boss Pei and try their best to restore the complete form of the game in Boss Pei's mind.
However, the situation was slightly different this time. Boss Pei did not seem to have a very specific idea. Instead, he asked everyone to brainstorm and determine the general direction of the game together.
Obviously, this would further increase the proportion of everyone's ideas in the game design plan.
Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin were guessing if this was because Shang Yang Games had already produced many successful games. The design and production standards of the entire workspace had improved. Was that why Boss Pei was consciously asking everyone to move forward with higher difficulties?
Was Boss Pei trying to reduce Shang Yang Games' reliance on his ideas and try to let Shang Yang Games continue to produce outstanding works without his own ideas?
That should be the case.
Therefore, everyone was on high alert, hoping that they could keep up with Boss Pei's train of thought.
Pei Qian looked around the meeting table and felt that the atmosphere was a little strange.
What was going on with these people's expressions as if they were on steroids?!
It was just a new project. Why were they so excited?
Forget it. Let them be excited.
Remember your expressions of anticipation now. In a few minutes, it would turn into confusion!
Pei Qian decided to officially begin now that everyone was almost present.
"Today's meeting is a brainstorming session to decide what we should do for the new game. Everyone, feel free to speak. Everyone has a chance to speak. "
"It doesn't matter even if you think your ideas are immature. Don't feel embarrassed. Many outstanding designs are born from these seemingly unreliable ideas."
"First …"
"Everyone, think about what type of game we should make."
Obviously, the first step was to determine the genre of the game.
They might be doing it blindly and aiming to lose money, but they still had to clarify the genre of the game. Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin would have a lot of room for imagination if the game genre was not clear. The final game might be too different from what Pei Qian had expected.
To other games companies, this often meant that the project would fail and they would lose money. However, to Tengda, this would most likely mean a huge profit.
Thus, Pei Qian had to eliminate these uncertainties as much as possible.
Everyone looked at each other and quickly raised their hands to speak.
"I think action games are not bad!"
“Doubt
VR glasses are selling like hotcakes. 'Fitness Battle VR Version' is also very popular. How about we take this opportunity to develop a VR game? "
"I think we can make an FPS game. Dual-terminal would be best."
"Can MMORPGs be considered?"
Everyone was talking at once, saying all sorts of things.
Everyone present might be designers but different designers had different game preferences. Under such unrestricted circumstances, everyone's speech would obviously be affected by their own game preferences.
They would say whatever they thought of.
Pei Qian listened quietly. His already messy thoughts became even more chaotic.
This method of discussion would not do!
That was because everyone present was the core members of Shang Yang Games. They had been developing games for a long time and were very capable. The plans they proposed might be affected by personal preferences but they were basically more reliable plans.
Even if there were some proposals that seemed to have a chance of failure, such as making a more retro MMORPG that paid for time, the chances of failure were not high enough.
Even if this kind of game was created step by step, there would most likely be people who would buy it.
Thus, he had to think of a way to guide everyone back to the right way of discussion.
Pei Qian knocked on the table gently. "Everyone, wait a moment."
"It's a good thing that everyone has their own thoughts, but it's difficult to form a unified opinion."
"How about this? I'll give everyone a simple direction."
"Which type of game do you think our company does less at the moment and has a relatively weak foundation?"
"It's best if it's a standalone game."
The reason why he added the last sentence was mainly to be safe.
Indeed, Tengda had not created a large-scale multiplayer online role-playing game, or MMORPG, until now. However, the risk of success in developing such a thing was still too high.
