After settling the movie script, Pei Qian felt relaxed.
However, now was not the time to relax.
Boss Pei had 1.8 million yuan in his hands now. It was enough to buy a new house for his parents.
As for how to explain the source of the money …
He could say that he was now part of Fei Huang Workspace's management team. The company's short videos had made a lot of money, and he had received a lot of bonuses.
Strictly speaking, there was nothing wrong with this. Boss Pei was indeed part of Fei Huang Workspace's management team, and Fei Huang Workspace had made a lot of money.
Pei Qian planned to take some time to go home and settle these things.
However, before that, he had to settle the company's matters properly.
The settlement cycle this time was five months long. It did not look short, but he did not have much time either.
That was because Pei Qian planned to be busy with things like movies and cell phones during this cycle. All of them would take up a lot of time.
Take movies for example. Although the content was simple and there were not many special effects, it would take at least a month of planning, two months of filming, and a month of editing and post-production. Finally, it would barely be released before settlement.
Fortunately, after the System was upgraded to Version 2.0, there was an additional benefit. Pei Qian was allowed to have one unproduced project every cycle.
Take movies for example. If they were not completed in this cycle, settlement would not be affected. They could be delayed to the next cycle.
They had to be released before the next cycle.
However, to Pei Qian, it was best if they could be completed in this cycle.
This benefit from the system was more of a guarantee. If he kept thinking about this and deliberately delayed a certain project, it was very likely that he would fail in the end.
Pei Qian flipped through his notebook and looked at Ma Yang.
Although he did not want to trouble this good brother of his, he had no other choice.
Capable people do more work!
Although Ma Yang's Fish-Catching Internet Cafe had stabbed Boss Pei in the back during the previous settlement, Pei Qian knew that it was not Ma Yang's intention.
Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's success was mainly due to Boss Pei's Repent and be Saved. Ma Yang had won without doing anything.
What's more, Zhang Yuan was the one who created ROF, not Ma Yang.
Thus, Old Ma was still trustworthy. He was indeed Boss Pei's most valued employee!
However, given the current situation, Pei Qian had to separate Ma Yang and Zhang Yuan.
Pei Qian was already certain that Zhang Yuan was a traitor. On the surface, he looked like a big hand on Tieba, but recently, his thinking had become problematic.
If he continued to fool Old Ma, the situation would be very bad.
Pei Qian thought about it. He could either let Old Ma be in charge of the current business and find some new work for Zhang Yuan or let Zhang Yuan be in charge of the current business and find some new work for Old Ma.
No matter how he thought about it, the latter was more suitable.
That was because Boss Pei had a new business direction that was very suitable for Ma Yang to unleash his talents.
Pei Qian would have been worried if he had handed this job to anyone but Ma Yang!
Boss Pei wanted to start an investment company.
In fact, he had this idea for a long time, but due to the lack of funds, he had never realized it.
Before this, Tengda had basically invested all its funds into production. Whether it was making games or opening physical shops, they had spent a lot of money. There was not much spare money in the account.
He could squeeze out three or four million yuan at most, but it would be meaningless. He would rather open a few more Fish-Catching Internet Cafes and Upwind Courier stations.
But now, the side effects of spending money at the end of the last cycle would come sooner or later. Just relying on conventional methods to spend money was a little too much.
Thus, after some thought, Pei Qian decided to open an investment company.
Although he was a little reluctant.
Venture capital was full of risks, but once it was successful, the returns would be very terrifying.
Pei Qian knew his own luck very well. Based on how he had been able to make money from trash games previously, he would probably lose his pants if he started an investment company.
However, the arrow was nocked on the bow now. He had no choice but to release it. Pei Qian could no longer rely on himself to squander the System Funds. He had to seek help from others.
Thus, after much consideration, Boss Pei had no choice but to open this investment company reluctantly.
As for why he could not manage it himself …
On one hand, Boss Pei was very busy with work. He had to personally keep an eye on the other fields. If he took full responsibility for the investment company, the other businesses might stab him in the back.
On the other hand, Boss Pei was starting to doubt his own judgment.
Thus, it was safer to leave it to Old Ma.
He did not hope for Old Ma to lose everything. He just wanted to symbolically mix in and incur some losses. That would be enough to achieve Boss Pei's goal.
…
October 3rd …
At Fish-Catching Internet Cafe …
"Brother Qian, we're counting on you. Hurry, hurry, hurry …"
Ma Yang stared at Pei Qian's screen and shouted louder than anyone else.
However, looking at the word 'failure' on the screen, Pei Qian only felt one thing: speechless.
In the last wave of the team battle, the fat Boss Pei went out to lead the line. His teammates sacrificed themselves like the Calabash Brothers saving their grandpa. They achieved a glorious result of exchanging four for one.
Ma Yang was not the first to rush forward and sacrifice himself. He was the last.
Originally, if Ma Yang had been alive, he could have cooperated with Boss Pei on the high ground. There was still hope for two against four.
However, Ma Yang also sacrificed himself. Pei Qian used all his skills and only managed to kill two people in a one-versus-four situation. He could only watch helplessly as the base exploded.
"Ai, what a pity, Brother Qian. Let's do it again!"
Ma Yang said as he was about to start another round.
Pei Qian quickly stopped him. "Don't! I have something important to tell you! "
"Oh, alright." Ma Yang reluctantly turned off Gods Rising.
Pei Qian came to Fish-Catching Internet Cafe today to briefly explain the investment company to Ma Yang.
When he came, he felt an itch to play a game with Ma Yang.
In the end, he did not get motivated!
Although he was angry that he lost the game, Pei Qian felt that he had to look at it differently.
On the bright side, Pei Qian lost the game.
On the bright side, Pei Qian confirmed that Old Ma was still the same old Ma. He was still reliable!
The two of them came to the resting area. Pei Qian called Zhang Yuan over.
Zhang Yuan had been busy with ROF recently.
After 1024 Digital Day, ROF's prices had returned to normal. However, the brand's reputation had spread. Thus, many Jingzhou locals were still buying it.
Thus, Zhang Yuan had been very busy recently. Ma Yang, on the other hand, was very free.
Pei Qian looked at Zhang Yuan first. "From now on, you will be the CEO of Fish-Catching Internet Cafe. You will be in charge of the internet cafe and ROF's business."
Zhang Yuan was stunned.
I'm the CEO?
How could I be so careless?
What about Boss Ma?
Ma Yang's face turned pale in an instant.
"Brother Qian, I … I didn't perform well in the previous game. You don't have to beat me to the end, right?
I didn't make any contributions, but I worked hard … "
Ma Yang thought that Pei Qian was holding a grudge because he had been cheated in the previous game.
Pei Qian did not know whether to laugh or cry. "What are you thinking?! I have a new task for you. It's very important!
"Tengda is going to start a new investment company. I'm thinking that you are the most suitable candidate to be the CEO of this investment company! "
Ma Yang's long face froze. It turned from a bitter expression to one of confusion and then to ecstasy.
"Really, Brother Qian?! I … I've wanted to be an angel investor for a long time! Don't worry, Brother Qian. This job is very suitable for me. I will not let you down! "
Zhang Yuan watched from the side, his mouth agape.
At that moment, he could not tell what Boss Pei's standards were for hiring people.
Boss Pei was selecting people with ability?
Boss Ma's talent did not look like he was cut out for an investment company.
Zhang Yuan had always felt that it was ridiculous enough for Boss Ma to manage Fish-Catching Internet Cafe. Managing an investment company was much more difficult than managing a network cafe. Could he really do it?
Boss Pei appointed people by favoritism?
That was not true.
Zhang Yuan was not related to Boss Pei in any way, and yet he was promoted. He took over Ma Yang's position and became the CEO of Fish-Catching Internet Cafe.
Boss Pei did not assign this position to any of his aunts either. It was not nepotism.
Thus, Zhang Yuan was confused. He only felt that Boss Pei was very mysterious.
Perhaps Boss Ma had some good points that ordinary people could not see.
Pei Qian looked at Zhang Yuan. "Alright, there's nothing else. You can go back to work."
Zhang Yuan nodded. "Alright, Boss Pei. I will work harder and make Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's business achieve great results!"
Pei Qian, "…"
After Zhang Yuan left, Pei Qian cleared his throat and began to seriously talk to Ma Yang about the investment company.
This time, Pei Qian decided not to find any more assistants for Ma Yang.
That was because Pei Qian realized that Ma Yang's views depended on the last person he spoke to.
Boss Pei was doing his best to brainwash Ma Yang. If Pei Qian did not keep an eye on him, he would be brainwashed by someone else in minutes.
Thus, Pei Qian could not find any more assistants for Ma Yang. At the very least, they could not be assistants who would come up with random ideas.
Thus, Pei Qian had to find some tools with no personal thoughts. That way, Ma Yang would always act according to Pei Qian's ideas.
Of course, this was all in the future.
His main goal was to brainwash Ma Yang.
"Our investment company is different from other investment companies."
Ma Yang listened very seriously. "Yes, what do you mean?"
Pei Qian asked, "You should know what an investment company does, right?"
Ma Yang nodded excitedly. "Of course! An investment company invests in companies that are likely to make money. Then, when they make a lot of money, they will split the profits with us! "
Pei Qian, "…"
It was very common, but it was not the answer that Boss Pei wanted.
"Your understanding is too shallow!"
"Does Tengda lack money?
"Don't games and internet cafes make enough money?"
Boss Pei sounded like he was gritting his teeth.
Ma Yang, "Er … Brother Qian, you mean …"
Pei Qian said earnestly, "I'm not saying that an investment company can't make money. Making money is just one of its many goals.
"Investment is to invest the extra money you have in your hands, to the place where it should go the most."
"What is the place where money should go?
"Is the place where it should go to make money? Of course not!
"Many companies that truly work for the welfare of society have closed down because their capital chain has been broken. Partners who have gathered together for their dreams have been forced to go their separate ways. What a pity that is!
"Thus, our investment company will be called Dream Realization Ventures. Our goal is not to make money but to realize the dreams of small companies whose dreams have been shattered!
