Min Jingchao immediately understood. Bao Xu was the one who had called him!
No wonder Zhou Muyan said that they had met once!
Min Jingchao had heard that when Tengda was developing Ocean Stronghold, they had organized a team-building trip to Guangzhou and visited Sun Strike Studios. That must have been when they met.
Of course, Bao Xu was just an ordinary employee back then. He was very inconspicuous, and Zhou Muyan might not have noticed him. He was just being polite.
However, the things they were talking about were too scary. What did they mean by half price?
Seeing Min Jingchao's confusion, Sun Xi felt a strong desire to live. "Hehe, Boss Zhou, that's not very good!
We just wanted to go out and play, and you owe us such a huge favor. We feel bad! Why don't we choose the alternative plan? I think the alternative plan is quite good! "
Zhou Muyan shook his head. "Ai, you're not right to think that way. The alternative plan is the alternative plan. Since the original plan doesn't have any budget problems, what's the use of the alternative plan?
"Given my relationship with Boss Pei, I don't owe him any favors. There's no need to be so distant.
"What's more, Bao Xu said over the phone that this is to return Jingchao's favor.
"Didn't you say it yourself? You're very interested in the Suffering Tour, but at the same time, you want to be with the other employees, through thick and thin.
"Isn't this solution perfect?"
Min Jingchao and Sun Xi were both speechless. They did not know what to say at all.
It's over. All the excuses they had used previously had been used by Boss Zhou!
There was no reason not to go now!
Zhou Muyan waved his hand. "Alright, this matter has been resolved perfectly. You guys don't have to worry about the registration. I'll handle the registration here. You guys continue to work hard and finish developing Bullet Hole 2."
"Go!"
Min Jingchao and Sun Xi walked out of Zhou Muyan's office in a daze. They returned to their desks and sat there, dumbfounded.
It's over. It's all over!
Min Jingchao wished he could slap himself. This was a case of being too smart for his own good!
If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have brought up the subject of suffering with Zhou Muyan in the first place. Now, even if he didn't want to go, he couldn't!
Suddenly, Sun Xi seemed to have thought of something and asked curiously, "Big Brother Chao, what did Director Zhou mean just now? Why would Bao Xu return a favor to you? "
Min Jingchao was about to take a sip of water to calm himself down, but he almost choked when he heard that. "Cough, cough, cough! It's nothing, it's just that I once helped Bao Xu with a small favor … It was a very insignificant matter, but I didn't expect Bao Xu to remember it … "
Sun Xi said indignantly, "Then he's completely repaying kindness with enmity!"
Min Jingchao nodded awkwardly. "Yeah, who said it wasn't!"
He didn't dare to tell Sun Xi the details of how he convinced Bao Xu to raise the price. If the project team found out, wouldn't they tear him apart?
Fortunately, Bao Xu didn't tell Zhou Muyan the details and only spoke vaguely.
If he told them in detail, it would be a huge problem!
Right now, Sun Xi was only a little suspicious, but he was clearly immersed in grief and didn't probe further.
Although Min Jingchao was already in a dangerous situation, Director Zhou was still the main culprit.
All in all, he could only keep a low profile and act as though he didn't know anything about it. The blame was all on Zhou Muyan …
Once this was over and he left Sun Strike Studios, even if these people found out the truth, they wouldn't be able to settle the score with him …
Min Jingchao was initially disheartened but now, he was suddenly motivated.
He had to hurry and work! He had to develop Bullet Hole 2 as soon as possible!
Furthermore, it had to be popular.
After all, Bullet Hole 2 had Boss Pei's name on it. If it didn't become popular, wouldn't he be ruining Boss Pei's reputation? If that was the case, he would have to continue staying in Sun Strike Studios to improve the content of the game.
The longer he stayed, the more danger he would be in!
Right now, Min Jingchao only had one thing on his mind – complete Bullet Hole 2 as soon as possible and leave this troublesome place. He had to run as far as he could!
…
At the same time, Pei Qian was also paying attention to the netizens' discussions about the suffering tour as well as the progress of the registrations and reservations.
From the netizens' comments, the situation was quite optimistic.
The price increase strategy was working!
From the netizens' reactions, most of them were still discussing the matter in a joking manner and none of them really wanted to sign up.
The threshold of 50,000 was indeed enough to dissuade most of them.
"Man, I won't ask for much from you. Fixed price, 50,000!"
"I can do anything else with 50,000. Why would I go suffer if I'm out of my mind? This is really spending money to seek suffering!"
"I was quite curious about the content but after watching Teacher Qiao's livestream … erm, sorry to disturb you. Even if I get a free ticket, I won't go …"
"A project like this can actually be completed to the third phase? Am I the one with the problem or is it the world with the problem? This is ridiculous! "
"Could there really be people signing up? That can't be, right?"
"There seems to be 200 slots for the registrations this time around. Can they bring so many people?"
"I think they have to make an appointment first. Then, the staff will contact them one by one to confirm the time. It's not easy for some people to take two months off and they might have to wait until a year later. All in all, it's quite a lot of work to arrange the name list. "
"In any case, it's not full yet. I think it'll be good if we can get 200 people in a month."
"Actually, these benefits are quite attractive. The identity of 'ascetic' is quite impressive. If we can get it, we should be very proud in the game."
"Hehe, spending 50,000 yuan to buy suffering just to get a title? Whoever wants to go can go, but I'm not going. "
"I think we can let the streamers challenge themselves. What do you think, everyone? I'll go to the live-stream now to fan the flames! "
Pei Qian nodded in satisfaction at everyone's discussion.
Yes, it looked like everyone was very clear-headed. The title of 'ascetic' might be tempting, but the price of 50,000 yuan and two months of suffering made most people's minds clear.
As for some people saying that they wanted to fan the flames in the live-stream and let the streamers participate, that was indeed a problem, but it should not be a big problem.
On one hand, the streamers were not stupid. On the other hand, there were only a few streamers after all. Even if there were a few who took things too hard, it would not affect the long-term loss-incurring plan.
Alright, this could be considered a good start!
Pei Qian was very happy, but he did not dare to let his guard down. He planned to see the number of applicants at night or tomorrow.
…
At the same time, at Fu Hui Investments …
Li Shi had just finished working on Starbird Fitness and began to look at the investment plans that he had accumulated during this period of time.
After flipping through for a long time, Li Shi felt a headache coming on. Thus, he stopped and rubbed his temples.
It was really too difficult to find a good investment project!
Many people who did not know the truth would say that Li Shi did not live up to his name as an investor and was just investing in Tengda's related industries. I can do that too.
However, the problem was that the other projects really did not have any investment value!
Li Shi also wanted to invest in other projects, but he could not find a project with enough potential and value after flipping through so many investment plans.
Since that was the case, he might as well invest all of it in Tengda's related industries.
Sometimes, Li Shi felt that flipping through these investment plans was a waste of his time. He might as well enjoy his life while drinking soup from Tengda.
He had just rested for a while when someone knocked on the office door.
"Please come in."
Li Shi looked up and saw that it was one of his employees.
"Boss Li, you asked me to keep an eye on the Suffering Tour previously. They just released an announcement today saying that registration is open. The price is fifty thousand yuan per person."
Li Shi's eyes lit up and he became interested. "Is that so? I'll take a look at the announcement first. Go and inform the core employees of the company's departments to come to the big conference room for a meeting. "
The employee nodded and left.
Li Shi immediately searched for the official website of the Suffering Tour and read the announcement from beginning to end. Once he had a plan, he went to the big conference room for a meeting.
Everyone was a little confused. They did not know what big project was going to be done this time. They actually called all the more experienced employees in the company for a meeting.
Li Shi did not keep them in suspense and said directly, "I've been paying attention to the Suffering Tour. Registration is finally open today.
"Everyone is an old employee of the company, the backbone of the company. Now, I'll provide everyone with an additional benefit: if you want to participate in the Suffering Tour, I'll give you two months of paid leave and reimburse everyone an additional twenty thousand yuan. You only need to fork out thirty thousand yuan of your own and you can go.
"It's completely voluntary. Those who want to go can go to the HR department to sign up. The HR department will give me a list later."
Everyone in the conference room was stunned and looked at each other after hearing Li Shi's words.
Boss Li, we have no enmity with you. What's more, we've been working in Fu Hui Investments for so long. Even if we don't have credit, we've worked hard. Why do you treat us like fools?
This benefit was quite good. Two months of paid leave and an additional twenty thousand yuan. That way, as long as they paid thirty thousand yuan out of their own pocket, they could go on the Suffering Tour that originally cost fifty thousand yuan.
However … who the hell wanted to go on a Suffering Tour!
Was that a good place?
Everyone looked at each other, and no one raised their hand.
Li Shi was not in a hurry and waited calmly.
Finally, someone could not hold back and raised his hand to break the silence. "Boss Li, I have a question. Why do you want us to go on a Suffering Tour? What's so good about that place? Or is it purely to support Boss Pei's new industry? "
Li Shi shook his head slightly. "Supporting Boss Pei's new industry is only a very small reason. It's not the main reason.
"It's mainly for your sake and for the long-term development of the company. You're all the backbone of the company. The better you grow, the better it will be for the company's development. "
The employee who asked the question was even more confused. "Boss Li, don't tell me you also believe in the saying that a Suffering Tour can hone one's willpower?"
Li Shi shook his head again. "Honing one's willpower is only a very insignificant aspect. Of course, that's not what I care about.
"What I care about is … connections!
