Pei Qian did not fully understand Bao Xu's words, but he was certain of one thing.
Something big had happened again!
Pei Qian had thought that he was already miserable enough.
Boss Pei's Daily Life was profitable.
Game Designer was profitable as well.
There was no way he could finish spending the System Funds.
Was there anything worse than this?
The answer was … yes!
Because of an interview, passersby suddenly became very interested in Tengda Games. All of Tengda's games became popular again!
Pei Qian was even more depressed.
What was this called?
Life was full of ups and downs, ups and downs …
However, on further thought, this did not seem to be bad news.
Because … the System Funds could not be used up!
With no hope of incurring losses, the more money he made, the more Personal Wealth he could convert. From this perspective, it seemed …
Not bad?
Pei Qian started to doubt his life.
"Today is a joyous day. I suggest that we take a photo together?" Zhu Xiaoce raised his SLR camera and said loudly.
"Good idea!"
"Right, right, right! Take a family photo!"
"Come, everyone, stand properly!"
"Boss Pei, Boss Pei, stand in the middle!"
Everyone responded at once, spontaneously crowding around Pei Qian.
Zhu Xiaoce half-squatted and adjusted the SLR camera skillfully. "Come, smile. One, two, three, shout 'Congratulations on the sale'!"
"Congratulations on the sale!"
Everyone shouted in unison, their faces filled with blissful smiles.
Pei Qian stood among his own employees, listening to everyone's sincere 'blessings'. He felt complicated.
No matter how hard he tried, he would not be able to incur losses in this settlement cycle.
Yet, he could convert a huge sum of money. There was a silver lining in the misfortune …
Therefore, should he be happy or depressed …
Pei Qian's melancholy eyes drifted, and his lips subconsciously revealed a relieved smile.
Ka-cha!
Zhu Xiaoce pressed the shutter, and the flash lit up. This scene was perfectly captured by the SLR camera.
Pei Qian sighed silently and went into his office.
Now, he just wanted to calm down and think seriously about what was wrong with this world.
Zhu Xiaoce sent the photo to the computer, and everyone gathered around.
"Send it to me quickly."
"Director Zhu's photography skills are not bad. He's indeed a professional."
"Eh? Boss Pei, what's with that smile? "
"Zoom in a little."
"Zoom in a bit more."
Everyone leaned in and looked at the computer screen.
In the photo, Pei Qian's position had been magnified several times. Thanks to the high-definition image quality of the DSLR, Pei Qian's expression could be clearly seen.
His gaze wandered, and there seemed to be a faint sadness in his eyes.
However, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. It wasn't a forced smile, but a genuine one.
Zhu Xiaoce looked at Huang Sibo before looking at Bao Xu and the others.
"Boss Pei's smile …
"What do you mean?"
…
…
In the office.
Pei Qian did a quick search on the internet.
Bao Xu was telling the truth!
The keyword 'Tengda Games' had already become a hot search on Weibo. Netizens were discussing it enthusiastically, and some people were even flaming it.
Because this interview was a fake product, no one knew how much of it was true and how much of it was fake.
There were some people below who were exposing the truth, but with the mixture of true and false information, it was impossible for the audience to distinguish between them in a short period of time!
The reason why Pei Qian had done such a good job of keeping it a secret was mainly because Pei Qian's prestige in the company was too high.
All the employees in Tengda were extremely grateful and worshipped Pei Qian. Pei Qian had already made it clear that they could not reveal their true identities or the specific benefits that they would receive. Thus, everyone abided by it strictly.
Even people like Ma Yiqun, who secretly promoted Tengda and accepted interviews, followed these two rules 100%. What's more, he would never reveal his identity as a Tengda employee!
Therefore, there were both true and false information circulating at the moment, and the audience could not confirm the source.
This interview was said to lift the veil of Tengda's mysteriousness, but it only lifted half of it before they realized that they still couldn't see clearly!
This feeling of concealing one's face like a pipa pipa made one even more curious!
Game Designer and Boss Pei's Daily Life had created a blurry image of Tengda together. The combination of these two hot topics had the perfect effect of a second round of publicity!
Pei Qian opened the platform and saw that the figures of the games had all increased.
Although the increase was not that fast, it was four games together!
Even The Lonely Desert Road once again experienced a small peak in downloads.
Boss Pei's Daily Life had an exclusive broadcasting agreement with Aili Island. Every click would be converted into real income.
He closed the platform.
Pei Qian started to doubt himself like never before.
Was he too talented that he could do anything with ease? Could he be successful just by messing around?
That couldn't be.
Pei Qian knew himself very well.
Could it be that the few times he succeeded was purely a matter of luck?
That wasn't right either.
There had to be some element of luck. For example, if Teacher Qiao had not coincidentally discovered The Lonely Desert Road, it would have been dead for sure.
However, it wasn't right to say that it was all luck.
There seemed to be a deeper reason behind all of this, a reason that Pei Qian had always neglected.
Pei Qian thought about it carefully.
The Lonely Desert Road was popular because it was different.
Ghost General, Ocean Stronghold, Game Designer …
All of them were the same!
Although the success of these games had a certain degree of chance, there was also a certain degree of inevitability.
On one hand, Pei Qian wanted to go against the trend of the market and the tastes of the players. Thus, he specially created some interesting content.
On the other hand, Pei Qian wanted to spend more money and created many outstanding art resources. He gave out a lot of salaries and benefits, and the enthusiasm of the employees was fully mobilized.
As a result, a new game with excellent quality was born!
Pei Qian slapped his forehead.
"… so that's it. I was the one who misunderstood!
I can't do this!
I'm so stupid!
So, I should follow the trend when I make games?
No, no, that doesn't seem right either … "
Pei Qian immediately rejected this idea.
There were many examples of games imitating other games and completely surpassing the original. Pei Qian's company had the word 'Teng' in it. That was not a joke.
"No, I have to spend some time thinking about this problem.
Before that, I have to stop all research and development of new games. I can't take any more risks.
I already have three money trees. If there's another one, it would be really hard for me to survive. "
Pei Qian immediately decided to give up on the research and development of new games.
Coincidentally, he had promised the players that he would update a few old games.
In that case, he would let Lu Mingliang and the rest work on the old games for the next cycle.
According to the usual practice, there should be a 'first place elimination' round next month.
However, Pei Qian did not want to eliminate Lu Mingliang. From the current situation, Lu Mingliang would follow Pei Qian's orders faithfully and would not be like Huang Sibo and Bao Xu.
Pei Qian was very satisfied with this point.
The failure of Game Designer this time should be attributed to Pei Qian himself. It did not make sense for him to push the blame to Lu Mingliang.
Although the dubbing was a serious matter, as long as he did not have to do it for the next game, it would not be a big problem.
Since he could trust Huang Sibo, he should not change him easily.
The main thing was that he was worried that Huang Sibo would be the second one. That would be the end of the game!
Thus, after some consideration, Pei Qian decided to let Lu Mingliang continue to be the chief planner and develop the new version.
When the time came, he would set a lower selling price. He would definitely make profits, but he would try to earn as little as possible.
If he wanted to incur losses, he had to think about other things.
"I have to correct my thinking.
"Then, it's clear how to incur losses next.
"I have to spread the experience of Fish-Catching Internet Cafe.
"I have to open a branch in Jingzhou City!"
There was still one more week before settlement for this cycle. However, Pei Qian was already thinking about the next cycle.
It was just like some 'best-of-five' matches. This game had already become a twenty-for-twenty game. Everyone could start discussing how to play the next game.
Until now, Pei Qian's most successful experience was with Fish-Catching Internet Cafe!
He had invested three million yuan in the beginning, but he could not recoup his capital. After that, he would incur losses of three hundred thousand yuan every month. It could be said that this was Pei Qian's most successful experiment!
If he could spread this experience and open more branches …
Wouldn't he be able to incur losses as he pleased?!
