Soon, the development plans for the new versions of the games were all arranged.
Pei Qian did not care about what to do after that. He left it all to Lu Mingliang.
On this matter, Pei Qian's mentality was very good.
He knew that the new versions and downloadable content of these games would definitely make money. They would probably make a lot of money, but not a lot either.
Since earning money was within his expectations, he wouldn't be too upset.
What if I make a loss? That was a pleasant surprise!
Sure enough, after changing his mindset, his life became much happier.
After the meeting ended, Pei Qian prepared to head to Fish-Catching Internet Cafe. He wanted to push the matter of opening new branches to the agenda as soon as possible. He wanted to quickly decide on the locations for each branch after the Labor Day holiday and start renovations.
One month of renovation and another month of losses, just in time for the next settlement. The timing was perfect.
Just as he was about to leave the conference room, Ma Yiqun called out to him.
"Boss Pei, can I speak to you privately?"
Pei Qian was stunned. Then, he nodded. "Alright, follow me to my office."
Pei Qian liked Ma Yiqun a lot.
This kind of mascot was hard to find.
Until now, Ma Yiqun had been obediently staying in the office and learning from Boss Pei's advanced game design concepts every day. He had not done any meaningful work at all.
Pei Qian was quite satisfied with this.
If every employee could be like Ma Yiqun, it would be so much easier!
"What is it?" Pei Qian sat down in his boss's chair and then pointed at the chair opposite his desk, gesturing for Ma Yiqun to sit down as well.
Ma Yiqun looked a little embarrassed. However, after some hesitation, he said, "Boss Pei, this is what happened. I have a friend who recently encountered a small problem …"
Pei Qian smiled. "Is this friend of yours you? Don't worry, just tell me if you have any difficulties. I'll give you three days of paid leave. You can come back to work after you've dealt with it. "
Ma Yiqun quickly shook his head. "No, no, no. Boss Pei, you've misunderstood. He really is a friend of mine."
"Huang Sibo and I used to work at Shang Yang Games. You should know that."
"After Huang Sibo left, we were short of an executive planner, so we hired someone to take his place."
"Recently, he lost his job, so he came to ask me if I could introduce him to a job …"
Hmm?
Pei Qian noticed that Ma Yiqun had used the word 'unemployed'.
Generally speaking, "unemployment" should be a passive state, not an active action.
He didn't resign but was fired by Shang Yang Games?
He pinched his fingers and divined.
Huang Sibo had joined Tengda in November last year. It had only been half a year since then.
Since this guy was replacing Huang Sibo, he should have entered Shang Yang Games around the end of November to work as an executive planner.
And then … he was fired after half a year?
This young man is very capable!
This kind of talent must be recruited!
However, on further thought, Pei Qian realized that he had to clarify this matter.
What was the reason for his dismissal?
If he was incompetent, Pei Qian would have taken him in without a second word.
However, if they were to leak company secrets or commit similar illegal acts, Pei Qian could not accept them.
If he did something wrong, Pei Qian would be implicated. That was because the system did not allow the company to violate any laws and regulations.
"Why was your friend fired?" Pei Qian asked.
"Fired? No, no, no. "Ma Yiqun hurriedly shook his head." He lost his job. Shang Yang Games is going to close down. "
"…"
His thoughts had gone astray and he had been happy for nothing.
Pei Qian knew about Shang Yang Games. After all, it was Huang Sibo's old employer. What's more, there were only a few games companies in Jingzhou City. Shang Yang Games was considered quite famous.
However, he heard that this company was doing well. Why was it going to close down?
How envious!
"Shang Yang Games … why is it going to close down?" Pei Qian asked very concernedly.
He was really concerned. After all, this could be a valuable experience for him.
Ma Yiqun felt a little emotional as well. After all, he had worked at Shang Yang Games for a long time. It was impossible to say that he had no feelings for the company.
"Ai, it's a long story."
"Actually, there were signs of it long ago. Since October last year, many people in Shang Yang Games had been secretly looking for their next employer. Even our chief planner, Old Liu, was trying to find his next employer. It was obvious that the situation was not looking good."
Pei Qian recalled. That was indeed the case.
In November last year, Old Liu and Huang Sibo had come for an interview almost one after the other. However, Old Liu had been decisively rejected by Pei Qian because of his rich experience.
Now that he thought about it, the chief planner of a company had been secretly looking for his next employer. It was obvious that the company's situation was not looking good.
Ma Yiqun continued, "However, although the company's operations were getting worse, we could still manage. After all, our main game had a stable income.
"However, the pressure on our income was getting bigger and bigger.
"As far as I know, Old Liu had always been thinking of jumping ship. However, he could not find a good opportunity. That was why he had been working at the company.
"After that, Old Liu saw the success of Ocean Stronghold. He saw that the Red Kilin was selling at 888 yuan and was very popular. So, he organized an event and sold a saber in the game at 888 yuan.
"I suspect that he felt that the company was going to collapse. That was why he let himself go.
"In the end, the boss really acquiesced. After all, the company was already having a hard time operating normally. He wanted to generate a wave of income in the short term to at least keep himself alive.
"In the end, he was scolded badly by the players! Not only did he not make any money, but the reputation of the game also collapsed. The number of active players plummeted, and so did the income!
"This time, he could not even keep himself alive. He had been struggling at death's door for so long, but he could not even pay his salary. Last week, the boss gathered everyone together and said that the company's capital chain was broken. He wanted everyone to find their next employer as soon as possible.
"That was why this brother of mine came to me."
Pei Qian listened quietly.
I'm the one to blame for this?!
Ocean Stronghold had actually sent Shang Yang Games on its way without Pei Qian's knowledge, causing it to die even faster.
Pei Qian could only say that this was a coincidence.
What's more, the gaming circle in Jingzhou was really small.
At that moment, Pei Qian actually felt a little envious of Shang Yang Games' boss.
Look at him. He could incur losses whenever he wanted!
What's more, he could incur so much that he would go bankrupt!
Eh? Wait a minute.
Pei Qian suddenly had a flash of inspiration. I don't have to be envious of him!
I can just take over the business!
Why should I be envious of Shang Yang Games' boss? How good would it be if I became Shang Yang Games' boss!
If I took over a company that had successfully incurred losses, wouldn't I be incurring losses as well?
This was a treasure trove!
Seeing that Pei Qian did not agree immediately, Ma Yiqun hurriedly said, "Boss Pei, I know that Tengda is very strict with its employees. I hope that you can give my friend a chance and let him come for an interview."
Pei Qian nodded. "Don't worry, your friend will not lose his job."
Ma Yiqun was stunned. Then, he said happily, "Really? Thank you, Boss Pei! Thank you so much! "
Was Boss Pei trying to say that even if he did not meet Tengda Games' requirements and could not enter Tengda Games, he would still recommend other jobs to him?
Righteous, he was too righteous!
Ma Yiqun did not expect Boss Pei to agree so readily. It looked like Boss Pei really treated all his employees as friends and brothers!
Ma Yiqun thanked Pei Qian profusely and left.
Pei Qian was very happy as well.
Whether Ma Yiqun's friend met Tengda's recruitment requirements or not was no longer important.
In any case, he could just buy the entire Shang Yang Games and be done with it, right?
He could buy it and let it continue to operate as it should. All the losses would be on Pei Qian.
Where else could he find such a good deal?!
