November 9th, Tuesday …
Pei Qian had been very busy last week.
Over at Fei Huang Workspace, Zhu Xiaoce and Huang Sibo were still preparing according to Pei Qian's script.
Zhu Xiaoce had to expand the script to the length needed for a movie. He also had to hire some people urgently. Once the script and storyboarding were done, they would probably have to discuss the script, select actors, and choose the locations. There were still many things to do.
Over at Shang Yang Games, everyone was still frantically playing horror games to find material and inspiration. However, Pei Qian estimated that Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin should be able to finish the design draft in a few days, given their efficiency.
There were not many things to prepare for at the investment company. With He Desheng's help, Dream Realization Ventures should be on the right track very soon.
The HR department was also working on the detailed recruitment rules. At the moment, the general process had been set. However, the specific written test and interview questions had to be finalized, including the reception arrangements during the recruitment process, the cooperation of the various departments, the measures to prevent leaks, and the like. They still had to prepare.
As for the cell phone department, Chang You was already contacting his brothers at Hongcheng Technologies. When they found a suitable office building in Jingzhou, they would be able to officially start research and development.
After that, it was time to transfer money.
Yesterday, Pei Qian had transferred twenty million yuan to Dream Realization Ventures.
November 1st and 8th were Mondays. They were also the days when Pei Qian received his share of the game.
On the 31st of the previous month, the System Funds had reached ten million yuan. However, that did not mean that Pei Qian only had ten million yuan at his disposal.
Ghost General, Ocean Stronghold, Game Designer, Repent and be Saved (including the overseas version), Bloody Battle Song … all these games were still generating income.
Take Bloody Battle Song for example. It was generating four to five million yuan per month. That meant two million yuan in two weeks.
Ghost General and Game Designer were generating similar income. Repent and be Saved was currently at its peak. The domestic and overseas versions of the game had generated seven to eight million yuan in two weeks.
Ocean Stronghold's income was more stable than Repent and be Saved's.
On top of that, Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, ROF, and other businesses that had been negatively affected by the spending spree were also generating profits this month.
There was no need to mention the stable Ming Yun Private Kitchen and Zhongdian Chinese Network, which had just started to make a name for itself.
Even after deducting Upwind Logistics' expenditure, Pei Qian would still be able to generate more than ten million yuan in two weeks.
His monthly salary was almost 30 million.
The settlement cycle this time was five months. In these five months, the income of these games would fluctuate and fluctuate. For example, the income of a few standalone games would definitely decrease. However, online games like Bloody Battle Song and Ocean Stronghold were too tenacious. They were the main source of income.
Thus, Pei Qian's goal was not to spend ten million yuan in five months. Instead, he wanted to spend 150 million yuan in five months.
Moreover, this was only the amount of money that he was certain would be earned at the moment.
What if a project becomes popular before settlement? He still had to make preparations beforehand.
Even if the System stipulated that 50% of the initial System Funds could be used for charity, it would only be 5 million.
Thus, Pei Qian had to spend as much as he could.
Pei Qian divided the current businesses and decided to transfer twenty million yuan to Dream Realization Ventures first so that Old Ma could practice.
The main reason was that Ma Yang was in a state where he was fearless. It was a good time for him to squander.
If they had given too little money at the start, Ma Yang would only have lost one or two million yuan.
What if Ma Yang learned his lesson from these failures and invested more money in a successful project in the future? Wouldn't that be the end of him?
Thus, Pei Qian considered giving Old Ma twenty million yuan to spend as much as he could!
As the saying went, a fall into the pit, a gain in your wit. In any case, as long as Old Ma suffered enough losses in the beginning, Pei Qian did not have to worry about Old Ma's intelligence growing too quickly in the future.
As for the other businesses, they had to be fully budgeted to share Boss Pei's burdens.
For Shang Yang Games, they had to invest at least twenty million yuan into developing a horror game.
For Tengda Games, although Pei Qian had not thought about what game to make, it was the leading department of the company. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. It was not too much to spend fifty million yuan.
For Fei Huang Workspace, although there was not much content to film and it was a low-budget movie, it was reasonable to spend more money on special effects.
As for the cell phone department, although they did not plan to mass produce high-end cell phones, it was necessary to invest twenty million yuan in the early stages. If they realized that the cell phones could not be sold, they would have to continue investing money and mass producing.
In the end, if they could not finish spending the money, they would find a department that had not produced results and invest more in it until the next cycle.
Of course, there was also the five million yuan charity fund that could be used as a last resort.
In any case, no matter how Pei Qian calculated, the situation was not optimistic. However, it was still bearable.
These were all estimates. If everything went smoothly, they would definitely be able to push the System Funds down to ten million yuan before settlement.
Pei Qian's goal was not high. He would lose four or five million yuan and convert it into four or five hundred thousand yuan. At the same time, he would get a reward from the System. He would earn a hundred thousand yuan every month for the next five months. That would not be a waste of his efforts.
Of course, this money could not be earned in one go. There would be a sum of money coming in every week. He still had to arrange the order of spending money for each project and continue investing money. He could not spend all the money at once.
Someone knocked on the door as Pei Qian was calculating.
He looked up and saw Li Yada.
"Boss … Boss Pei.
"Um, shouldn't we be preparing to develop a new game?"
Or should we create a downloadable content for Repent and be Saved?
"Everyone is … a little free."
How could she take the initiative to ask for a mission?
Pei Qian was very unhappy with her proactive attitude.
However, it was not good for him to say much. He could only pretend to be deep in thought and say, "Don't be anxious. Let everyone rest. I have a very important mission for everyone soon."
Pei Qian had not thought about what kind of mission to assign to Tengda's games department.
The success rate of those conventional games was too high. Pei Qian was not interested at all.
He could not afford to throw fifty million yuan into another money-making tree. That would be completely different from Boss Pei's original goal.
Li Yada nodded. "Ah, alright. Boss Pei, call me whenever you have a mission. "
After Li Yada left, Pei Qian slumped weakly in his seat.
It was so difficult to be a boss!
He had to rack his brains to arrange work for his employees every day. Then, he let them rest for a few days, and they came knocking on his door.
It was really difficult!
Ding, ding.
Pei Qian received a message on his cell phone.
Pei Qian picked up his cell phone and saw that it was from Chang You.
"Boss Pei, the team is almost assembled. I'll arrange for someone to decide on a working location this week. We can officially start work next week.
"Also, our design team received the moving fee. They are very excited. They rushed out the logo of Otto Technologies overnight. Please take a look."
There was a picture below.
Pei Qian opened it and found that it was quite an interesting logo.
At first glance, it looked like a rectangle on the outside and two circles stacked in a complicated way inside.
The rectangle and the circle overlapped in a special way. One of the long sides of the rectangle twisted and turned into the side of the circle. One could vaguely see that it was the change of two capital'T's'.
In other words, this image was the product of the change and combination of the four letters' Otto '.
At first glance, it looked a little like a rectangular eye, but there were two pupils in the eye sockets.
At a closer look, it looked a little like a Möbius strip.
Apart from that, the way the two circles in the middle overlapped was a little like the symbol that represented 'infinity' in numbers.
This logo was relatively simple. It looked quite cool against a pure background. It was quite post-modern.
Pei Qian could not help but feel emotional. This was a talent.
How could such an old-fashioned brand name like 'Otto Technologies' be made into such a high-end logo?
He might really be able to scare people if he printed this logo on the back of the cell phone.
What's more, this was not the only logo.
The second logo used two 'tens' and two 'o' to form a shape that looked like a handle. The 'tens' were on the upper left and lower right respectively. The 'o' were on the lower left and upper right respectively. The layout was similar to that of a handle. The two 'o's were like two joysticks on the handle.
This logo was no longer a pure color. The shape had become more complicated. The colors were also very bold. It was easy to associate it with game elements.
The third logo was the most conventional. It was a row of capital letters' Otto Technologies'. It was round and straight. It looked passable and consistent with the style of a technology company.
The designer came up with three proposals. They were:
Abstract;
Game;
Alphabetic.
He probably wanted Boss Pei to decide on one.
Pei Qian looked at them. They seemed to be not bad. Thus, he replied, "All of them are not bad. Keep them for now. It won't be too late to decide which one to use after the cell phone design is completed. "
…
…
November 12th, Friday …
Pei Qian planned to go to Dream Realization Ventures to look for Ma Yang.
He wanted to go yesterday, but it happened to be Double 11. Pei Qian bought some messy things online and was delayed.
The express delivery had not arrived yet. He could go to Old Ma's place.
He had already transferred the twenty million yuan to Dream Realization Ventures on Monday. Five days had passed. A portion of the money should have been spent.
However, Pei Qian guessed that Ma Yang should still be conflicted based on his character. He should have spent two or three million yuan at most.
Pei Qian had repeatedly emphasized to Old Ma to make a move when it was time and not to hesitate.
However … it was still twenty million yuan no matter what.
Pei Qian was afraid that Ma Yang could not bear to spend money. That was why he wanted to see Dream Realization Ventures' situation and do some ideological work for Old Ma.
Dream Realization Ventures had already rented an office space. It was about a fifteen-minute drive from Tengda. It was also in a high-end office building.
Pei Qian followed the address to Dream Realization Ventures' office and quietly walked in.
The floor was covered with a thick carpet. Thus, Pei Qian did not make any sound when he stepped on it.
The huge company was currently empty, but he could hear people shouting inside. The entire company was filled with echoes.
"Hurry, hurry, we can fight, we can fight!"
"Kill this fragile skin first!"
"Save me!"
"Protect! Protect! Protect Boss Ma! "
