April 30th, settlement day …
In Pei Qian's vision, the system screen appeared automatically.
"I didn't expect to convert nearly 40,000 yuan from profits alone …"
Pei Qian felt like he couldn't understand this world anymore.
A week before settlement, the article about Tengda Games made Tengda Games a trending topic. The netizens discussed it passionately, attracting a large number of fans for Tengda Games.
In the end, all of Tengda's games experienced a surge in sales. Even Boss Pei's Daily Life's views skyrocketed!
In the end, the actual amount of System Funds was 2.1 million yuan more than what Pei Qian had expected!
This also allowed Pei Qian's Personal Wealth to reach more than 80,000 yuan, the highest in history.
The system screen continued to refresh.
Pei Qian was still waiting, but the screen stopped there. After a few seconds, it automatically disappeared.
"There's no special task this time, and the cycle is much shorter …"
"Wouldn't I be more stressed out?!"
Pei Qian was still waiting for a new special task from the system, but such tasks seemed to be randomly refreshed. There was none this time.
The settlement time was no longer three months, but two months.
The initial System Funds turned from one million to five million. Since Pei Qian already had a surplus of 4,910,000 yuan, the actual topping up of the System Funds was only slightly more than 80,000 yuan. This made Pei Qian's heart ache.
If he could successfully lose all one million yuan in the previous cycle, not only would he be able to convert one million yuan into Personal Wealth, but the system would also automatically top it up to five million yuan.
In this way, it would be a loss of 100 million!
Pei Qian was a little worried, but he soon calmed down.
In the previous cycle, he had already done his best and left it all up to fate. This was because it was already too late when he realized that he was starting to make a profit.
There was less than a month before settlement. Pei Qian could no longer invest in other products. He could not have any unreleased products before settlement. Otherwise, settlement would be delayed, and he would suffer even more losses.
Judging from the results this time, being able to convert nearly 40,000 Personal Wealth seemed pretty good.
At the very least, Pei Qian was now equivalent to a white-collar worker with a monthly income of 13,000 yuan …
"There's only two months to lose so much money. It's so stressful."
"According to the original plan, the self-developed game will be paused and Lu Mingliang and the rest will update the old game first. We must open a few more chain stores for the internet cafes. "
"Hmm, we still have to think of another way."
"Time is tight, and the mission is heavy."
Although he only had five million in the System Funds on the surface, Pei Qian had to include all the profitable projects if he wanted to successfully incur losses.
Ghost General earned six hundred thousand yuan a month, Ocean Stronghold earned three and a half million yuan a month, and Game Designer earned about 1.7 million yuan a month.
These were all figures after the interview.
Although Game Designer was a new game, it was not as popular as Ocean Stronghold. It was not very playable either. What's more, many people chose to play it on the cloud. Hence, although it had a good reputation, it could not be compared to Ocean Stronghold in terms of profitability.
Pei Qian only had one loss-that was Fish-Catching Internet Cafe. He could only lose three hundred thousand yuan a month.
Including the company's rent, employees' salaries, benefits, and other expenses, he would only lose about a million yuan a month.
This was a drop in the bucket!
If Pei Qian did nothing else, his net income would be about 4.5 million yuan a month.
Of course, these were all rough estimates. The sales of these three games would fluctuate every month, and the company's actual expenses were not that accurate. However, overall, there was not much difference.
In two months, Pei Qian would have to make a loss of 4.5 million x 2 + 5 million = 14 million yuan.
"14 million yuan. Opening one Fish-Catching Internet Cafe would cost about three million yuan. This amount of money would be enough to open four more branches.
"Five internet cafes would incur losses at the same time. Other than the initial investment, I would have a net loss of 1.5 million yuan a month. Perfect!
"Wait, that's not right.
I have to create a new version for gamers this time. No matter how much I charge then, I would definitely have additional income.
"Opening three more internet cafes might not be enough. I have to think of something else."
Pei Qian thought for three minutes but still had no idea.
"Forget it. I'll open Fish-Catching Internet Cafe first before thinking about how to incur losses."
…
…
The atmosphere in the office was very good.
Some people were playing games, some were yawning, and some were eating snacks while watching dramas or looking at their schedules online.
Pei Qian did not care about people playing games during working hours. On the surface, he seemed to be tacitly approving, but deep down, he was very supportive.
However, everyone would still give it their all when they were working. This made Pei Qian feel uncomfortable.
Tomorrow was the Labor Day holiday. Tengda always had more holidays than the official holidays; it would never be less than the official holidays. What's more, the development plan had come to an end. Thus, many people had plans to go out during the Labor Day holiday. They might be going home or going out to play.
Pei Qian called everyone to the conference room to make arrangements for their work after the holidays.
Soon, everyone was present.
If it were any other boss, he would first give his employees a shot of adrenaline, brag about the results of Game Designer, praise everyone's hard work, and encourage everyone to continue working hard on the new project and achieve even better results.
However, Pei Qian did not mention these things. That was because the wound in his heart had not completely healed.
No one would find it strange. After all, Boss Pei was not someone who would rest on his past achievements!
Pei Qian thought about it and decided to start with the first-place-elimination system.
"First, I'll briefly talk about the Best Employee Selection.
"In the future, the Best Employee Selection will be held twice a year. They will be on February 1st and August 1st. The first-place winner of the Best Employee Selection will receive a Dream Fund of one million yuan. The second-place winner will receive a month of paid leave. "
After the previous Best Employee Selection, Pei Qian did not think about when the next one would be held. He had originally planned to do it as often as possible.
This time, it was fixed to be held twice a year mainly because Pei Qian realized that the first-place-elimination system did not seem to be very effective.
What's more, Lu Mingliang had done a good job as the chief planner. Pei Qian was quite satisfied and did not want him to leave.
Now, Pei Qian could be said to be extremely cautious when dealing with such personnel transfers. He was afraid that he would accidentally unearth another treasure boy!
However, this Best Employee Selection could not be canceled. Thus, Pei Qian finally decided to hold it twice a year.
Regarding this, no one had any objections.
Actually, no one could think of a particularly good candidate for the Best Employee Selection. Most likely, they would vote for Lu Mingliang.
However, strictly speaking, Lu Mingliang did not live up to his reputation. After all, Boss Pei had personally handled the entire game from development to publicity.
Even Lu Mingliang himself felt that he was just a bystander.
What's more, this Best Employee Selection was not set to be held every so often. Thus, everyone was happy to accept it.
There were still three months until August 1st. Many people were rubbing their palms together, eager to give it a try!
Even if they could not get the Best Employee Award and the Dream Fund of a million yuan, getting second place and a month of paid leave would be extremely good too!
Only Bao Xu shivered. He really wanted to ask Boss Pei if he could give up voluntarily.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Pei Qian continued, "Next is the two-month work plan.
"Considering that the gamers of a few old games are strongly requesting for updates, I have decided to temporarily stop the development of new games. I will update a few of the old games in these two months to satisfy the gamers' requests.
"Here's the rough plan.
"The Lonely Desert Road will develop Endless Mode, multiplayer functions, and new maps. They will be sold as downloadable content, priced at one yuan.
"Ghost General will release a new set of generals, priced at five yuan.
"Ocean Stronghold will release a new epic weapon, priced at eight hundred and eighty-eight yuan. However, this weapon will only be sold in limited quantities every month.
"Game Designer will release a new voice package and setting style, priced at five yuan."
Everyone could not help but look at each other.
Did I hear wrongly? So cheap?!
Would this … be able to recoup their costs?
Putting everything else aside, the original arts for Ghost General and Game Designer had been personally designed by Big Boss Ruan Guangjian. Even if Boss Pei had a close relationship with the big boss, he still had to be fair with him!
Ocean Stronghold was even more ridiculous. There were only five hundred new epic weapons every month?
Right now, Ocean Stronghold had about four to five hundred thousand active users. There were so many of them, and they were only selling five hundred copies? Only 200 thousand a month?
Everyone's expression changed from shock to confusion, and then to reverence.
Indeed, only Boss Pei could have such boldness!
Pei Qian's expression remained the same despite everyone's respectful gazes.
He had no choice. The downloadable content of Ghost General and Game Designer that cost five yuan was already the lowest price allowed by the system …
Ocean Stronghold could not profit from selling downloadable content; it could only continue to sell epic weapons.
Epic weapons were priced at 888. This price could not be changed. The system did not allow it. Thus, Pei Qian had no choice but to take a different route and sell them in limited quantities.
In this way, no matter how good the guns were, they would only sell 1,000 guns a month. Wouldn't the revenue be controlled?
