Pei Qian did not spend too much time thinking about it even though the System hinted that it could consider this question for a long time and was not in a hurry to make a decision.
"I choose to incur losses."
His decision was not immediately accepted by the System. Another line of text appeared on the screen as a second confirmation.
"Once you make a choice, the system upgrade will be completed and you will never be able to change it in the future. Confirm?"
Pei Qian could not help but smile. "I'm so sure because I can't change it in the future."
"If the future can be changed at any time, I'm really afraid that one day I will make a hot-headed decision because of a private jet, an island of my own, a global limited edition top sports car, or something else."
"Once I make a choice, I can never change it. I don't want to have such a chance to regret it."
"That's because once I go back on my word, it would mean that I would fail as Tengda's last line of defense!"
"Actually, this multiple-choice question is not about how to convert wealth, but about choosing between two different identities."
"I can choose to be a rich slave, or I can choose to be an upright person who is not so rich."
"At most, I will be a slave to capital. I want to be the master of capital!"
"Wealth is not about how much you have, but how you use it!"
"The richest person should not be the one with the most wealth, but the one who knows how to use it the best."
"I'm just an ordinary person. I can't resist this temptation forever. Fortunately, I can make this decision when my mind is at its clearest so that I won't have a chance to regret it in the future."
The words on the system screen scrolled again.
Pei Qian's heart was finally relieved when he saw that the System upgrade was completed.
Now that the dust had settled, he could not regret it even if he wanted to. That was a good thing.
Pei Qian had been reading people's analysis of Tengda Corporation's business model and the Future of Your Choice game and movie over the past two months.
Some people praised Tengda Corporation and Boss Pei to the skies, while others wanted to trample Tengda Corporation and Boss Pei to the ground.
Some people said that Boss Pei was a business genius that had never appeared before. At the same time, he was a wise man and philanthropist who could see through the fog of history!
Boss Pei had built a behemoth like Tengda Corporation with his amazing business acumen, but he was also able to stick to his heart and use his idealism to illuminate the entire company's employees and users. It allowed his idealism to spread and influence more and more people.
Tengda Corporation was the process of good money driving out bad money. Under the leadership of Tengda Corporation, domestic companies were either defeated or assimilated. From the games industry to other fields, the entire business environment had undergone earth-shattering changes!
It would not be an exaggeration to call Boss Pei, who had created all of this, a savior.
Others said that Tengda Corporation was a huge scam!
Boss Pei and Meng Chang were both genius liars. However, Meng Chang's level was too low, and Boss Pei's level was so high that no one could see through him.
Everyone thought that Boss Pei was a perfect person, and that was the most dangerous thing. Tengda Corporation could defeat all opponents through the will of the people during its development period, but no one could guarantee that Boss Pei and Tengda Corporation would suddenly reveal their true colors one day and stand against everyone.
At that time, he would be the most terrifying enemy!
Pei Qian did not know whether to laugh or cry while feeling emotional.
That was because neither of these statements was the truth. However, they were extremely close to the future that could be touched.
Would Tengda Corporation never deteriorate?
Pei Qian was more suspicious of this than anyone else.
How could there be anything in this world that would never deteriorate?
Many people thought that Boss Pei was the embodiment of Tengda's soul and will, but Pei Qian knew that he was just an ordinary person. In the future, he would face all sorts of temptations. As Tengda Corporation developed, the temptation it would face would be stronger.
In fact, Boss Pei had supreme power in the entire Tengda Corporation. No one could compete with him for this power!
Once Pei Qian lost his heart, even if it was for a limited-edition luxury car, a yacht, a private jet, he wanted to earn more personal wealth through the company's profits. Perhaps the entire Tengda Corporation would collapse quickly.
It would either be quickly abandoned by the people, or it would surpass the people and become an even more terrifying existence.
At that time, the scenes depicted in the game and movie 'The Future You Chose' would no longer be a fantasy.
Thus, Pei Qian had been thinking about how to firmly defend his heart.
It was impossible to rely on his own willpower.
The system's upgrade had given him a perfect solution to this problem.
As long as Pei Qian never benefited directly from Tengda Corporation's development and chose to stand against Tengda Corporation, he would be the greatest threat to Tengda Corporation. He could cut the Gordian knot without any pressure at any time when he discovered that something was wrong.
After making this choice, it also meant that Pei Qian's identity was no longer just the President of Tengda Corporation. He was also a ruthless regulator, so that Tengda Corporation could forever be free from the curse of capital appreciation.
Pei Qian himself could forever be free from the terrifying situation of being controlled by capital.
Perhaps in the future, Pei Qian would regret the decision he made today countless times.
Perhaps this decision would cause him to lose a private island, a few private jets, many luxury sports cars, many sea-view villas, and many other expensive things.
However, Pei Qian firmly believed that he would be extremely determined and thankful for his decision today in the last second of his life.
That was because this decision could allow him to step on the heads of capital forever and be an upright person.
It would also allow countless people who might be oppressed by capital to live with dignity.
Pei Qian felt that he could use some planes and yachts in exchange for such a better future. It was simply too worth it.
"That's why I have to thank the System.
"Without the System, I really can't do anything.
"I don't know if I'm considered the worst host to the System. After all, I can turn losing money into personal wealth. I actually dragged it out for four years and only managed to get 20 million yuan. It's really embarrassing for the host.
"However, maybe my way of playing is the most correct way to open this System?
"I chose the most correct path by accident. I have to say that my luck is really good."
Pei Qian sighed from the bottom of his heart.

January 3rd, 2014 …
The New Year's Day holiday passed, and Tengda Corporation resumed its daily work.
At that moment, the people in charge gathered in the big conference room of Tengda Corporation's headquarters. They looked worried and expectant.
Boss Pei had not been to the company for two whole months. The amazing thing was that Tengda Corporation's various work was still progressing smoothly even without Boss Pei's decision and approval. Many businesses were even developing better than before.
The negative profit activity that Boss Pei proposed not only caused a warm response in society but also gave these people in charge some new insights into the Tengda spirit.
Perhaps the negative profit activity was to temporarily abandon the company's profit attribute and assume more of the company's social attribute, using the company's development to feed society.
They seriously thought about the company's mission and whether they could do more important things other than making money.
Today, Boss Pei came to the company to hold a meeting with all the people in charge.
According to Boss Pei, he wanted to make some simple arrangements for the company's future development.
Boss Pei had said that he would leave the company for a year or more at the last gathering. However, Boss Pei did not say anything definite at that time. Instead, he left some leeway and said that he might change his mind.
Thus, Boss Pei might announce that he would not leave at today's meeting and continue to lead Tengda to fight for 20 years.
Many people in charge attended the meeting with such expectations.
What's more, the meeting this time was not only attended by the heads of the various departments, but also included Lin Wan, Li Shi, and other company bosses who had a close relationship with Tengda Corporation.
The company bosses like Lin Wan and Li Shi, who followed Tengda Corporation closely, were as worried as the various department heads of Tengda Corporation. In fact, they were even more worried!
For example, Li Shi had always treated Boss Pei as his investment secret. No matter what project Boss Pei did, he just had to follow him brainlessly. However, if Boss Pei was no longer in charge of Tengda Corporation's various investments, wouldn't his investment secret disappear?
Could it be that Li Shi was going to retire with Boss Pei? That seemed a little ridiculous.
Boss Pei did not mind that he retired early, but Li Shi felt that he was still in his prime. It would not be a problem for him to work for another ten years.
As for Lin Wan, Slow Movement Studio's cooperation with Tengda Corporation was no longer that close. What's more, Slow Movement Studio had already formed its own brand and game design concept. It had even made some achievements in VR games. However, Tengda Corporation would always feel empty without Boss Pei.
Boss Pei was like a flag that could unify everyone's spiritual world.
Even if Boss Pei did not interfere in any actual company business, as long as he sat in the office, it would make people feel very at ease. It would make people feel that everything was on track and that there was no need to worry even if there were problems.
However, once Boss Pei was not in that office and went to a corner of the world that no one could find, everyone would inevitably worry!
Pei Qian walked into the conference room in this atmosphere.
Everyone looked at Boss Pei and realized that Boss Pei did not look as shy as before. Instead, he looked relieved. It seemed that after more than three months of thinking, some problems that had been troubling him had finally been solved.
