April 3rd, Sunday …
At Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's Handong University branch …
Pei Qian and Lin Chang sipped their coffee silently, not saying a word to each other.
These two days were weekends. Pei Qian could finally rest in peace without any psychological burden. He could put all his worries to the back of his mind and live a short and happy life.
However, Lin Chang was in Jingzhou today. He had to meet him.
However, after exchanging greetings, both of them fell silent.
They thought about how they had planned and strategized a few months ago. They thought that they were halfway to success. However, in the end, both the game and the cell phone became popular. Lin Wan also became unprecedentedly arrogant. She even started to attack in her own group and attract hatred …
Both of them were a little troubled.
However, it did not seem appropriate to just look at each other without saying anything.
The problem had to be solved!
After a moment of silence, Lin Chang spoke helplessly. "Boss Pei, the game and the cell phone are not going well … Didn't we already make sufficient plans?"
The corners of Pei Qian's mouth twitched.
Pei Qian was the one who made sufficient plans. It more or less meant that the plan was as fierce as a tiger, but in the end, he earned like a dog.
However, Pei Qian was not convinced. Lin Chang, how dare you say that you don't have any responsibility!
If you had not taken the initiative to publicize Tomorrow is Beautiful, this movie would not have become popular, the advertisement would not have been studied, and Otto Technologies would not have had such a good start …
All in all, you must be to blame!
You can't throw all the blame at me!
Pei Qian sighed and said, "You did publicity for Tomorrow is Beautiful and arranged so many screenings. In the end, Otto Technologies established a high-end image in the hands of consumers before it was even released. That also disrupted my plans."
Lin Chang looked incredulous. "How is that possible?!"
"Boss Pei, didn't you write the script for this movie? You must have known about the advertisement for Otto Technologies in the movie. The quality of the movie is so good, and the spiritual connotation is so rich. You know better than anyone else that this movie would not have become popular even without my publicity. It would still become popular! "
"I would believe that other movies succeeded because of publicity, but Tomorrow is Beautiful? The publicity was just icing on the cake! "
Lin Chang actually threw the blame back at him at lightning speed.
Pei Qian: "…"
He couldn't accept it in his heart, but when he thought about it carefully, he found it hard to refute it.
Tomorrow is Beautiful was now seen as a work of high quality and deep meaning. Most people believed that the success of a good work was due to marketing, but quality was the key factor.
As for the quality … Zhu Xiaoce might be the one to blame, but Pei Qian seemed to be a little responsible.
Pei Qian even began to doubt himself.
Based on what Lin Chang said, could it be that all of this was fated from the start?
The two of them fell into a brief silence.
Lin Chang looked suspicious as he whispered, "Boss Pei, you're not doing this on purpose, are you?"
"On the surface, you put Ah Wan in charge of these industries that looked like they would fail, but in fact, you already knew that both the games and the cell phone would be a great success? Otherwise, why would you use other industries to help? "
"As far as I know, BE
You were personally in charge of the promotional activities for the game 'Be Quiet'. The advertisements and various benefits for the cell phone have also benefited from other industries. "
"Could it be … you actually don't want Ah Wan to leave?"
Pei Qian's face darkened. "There's no such thing!"
"Lin Wan is the director of two departments, and she is very familiar with the people in charge of the other departments. She has the authority to ask for benefits from the other departments and to plan the overall situation."
"As for BE
BE QUIET … It was an accident. "
"President Lin, trust me. I want Lin Wan to go home more than anyone else."
Pei Qian looked extremely sincere.
Lin Chang looked at Pei Qian without saying anything, but his eyes were filled with suspicion.
This was normal. If someone promised you something but failed time and time again because of some "objective reasons" or "unexpected factors", you would also have such doubts …
However, Pei Qian was the most wronged person at that moment.
But now that things had come to this, there was no point in trying to explain himself …
He could only continue setting the next goal. This time, he had to dissuade Lin Wan!
However, just as Pei Qian was thinking about his next goal, Lin Chang's words completely surprised him.
Lin Chang sighed softly. "Alright, Boss Pei. I'm not here to push the blame away this time. I have something else."
"To be honest, the situation has changed again."
"Lin Wan has been showing off in our family's group again over the past few days. In particular, the OTTO cell phone has successfully sold at eight thousand yuan. That's a price that even my older sister's flagship cell phone has not reached. Although the sales are worlds apart, Ah Wan has only been making cell phones for a few months, and my older sister has been doing it for years … "
"All in all, the situation has been very chaotic."
Pei Qian pondered for a moment. "Then … will the Old Master let her do as she pleases?"
Lin Chang sniggered. "Boss Pei, you've indeed asked the core problem. It's also the key to the change in the situation this time."
"Not only is the Old Master not angry, but he's very happy."
"Tell me the truth, Boss Pei."
"The Old Master was very unhappy that Ah Wan ran out to work in a fit of pique. That's because he knows very well what state most companies are in now. He thinks that Ah Wan is wasting her time, so he keeps asking Ah Wan to go back and inherit the family business.
"Ah Wan has been making games before, but she did not make much of a name for herself. Mobile games might have made money, but they were not elegant after all. Thus, the Old Master's attitude did not change.
"However, this time, Ah Wan said in the group that she made a cell phone priced at eight thousand yuan … the Old Master suddenly became interested!
"Thus, he found someone to understand Otto Technologies and Tengda Corporation in detail. Guess what happened?"
The corners of Pei Qian's mouth twitched. A very bad feeling rose in his heart. "What happened?"
Lin Chang's expression was a little complicated. "The Old Master thought about the process of this cell phone becoming popular and selling it at eight thousand yuan. He was full of praise for you, Boss Pei!
"You boldly used Chang You, established a high-end position from the beginning, subtly promoted the brand in the movie, and used Tengda's other businesses to protect the cell phone. Thus, you fought your way out of the cell phone market where countless domestic brands had already divided up almost all the price points …
"Any of the above steps could lead to the failure of Otto Technologies' cell phone!
"Especially the news conference. Even the Old Master was very surprised. After all, domestic manufacturers have never done this before. The Old Master said that this news conference alone saved Otto Technologies at least hundreds of thousands of yuan in marketing fees!
"The Old Master knew that most of this must be Boss Pei and Chang You's efforts. However, as the director, Ah Wan would definitely grow greatly even if she was only in charge of a small part of the things.
"After that, the Old Master briefly understood Tengda Corporation's other businesses, including Upwind Logistics, Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, and so on …"
Pei Qian felt even worse. "Just tell me what happened in the end …"
Lin Chang paused and said, "The Old Master changed his mind."
Pei Qian: "?"
"He changed his mind?
"He didn't let Lin Wan go back?"
Lin Chang's expression was complicated. "Yes.
"The Old Master originally wanted Ah Wan to go back because he felt that the companies outside were not reliable. He felt that Ah Wan was wasting her time working in these companies.
"However, after seeing Ah Wan's outstanding results, the Old Master's prejudice against these companies disappeared … oh, that doesn't seem to be accurate. I should say that his prejudice against Tengda has disappeared.
"In fact, the Old Master admires you very much, Boss Pei. He feels that Ah Wan would definitely learn a lot by working under you. It doesn't seem like a bad idea to let her go back and inherit the family business after training here for a few more years."
Pei Qian: "??"
It doesn't seem like a bad idea to let her go back after training for a few more years?
How is it possible to let her go back? That's obviously not possible!
If she were to be the director here for a few more years, I don't know what she would do to my company!
What's the meaning of this? Is the 'united front line of Lin Wan going back' going to be destroyed and collapsed just because of one insignificant success?
Old Master Lin, can you be more resolute?!
Pei Qian quickly asked, "What did Lin Yu say?"
Lin Chang shrugged. "What can she say? Since the Old Master has spoken, of course, she has to listen to him.
"Right now, the Old Master's attitude is that since Ah Wan can learn a lot here, there's no harm in her staying here for a while longer. What's more, the Old Master hinted that during this period, the three of us have to work together and help her career … "
Pei Qian: "???"
Brother, if a behemoth like Shenhua wants to 'help' her career, that's no laughing matter!
If I'm not careful, I might even break my arm!
Think about the past.
Lin Yu helped promote the mobile version of Bloody Battle Song on Shenhua's application store.
Lin Zhou gave Shenhua View free rent.
Lin Chang promoted Tomorrow is Beautiful.
Think about the future …
The three of you are in charge of cell phones, real estate, and entertainment. If you work together, Lin Wan's career will indeed advance by leaps and bounds. It will be smooth sailing. Wouldn't Boss Pei's money-losing business collapse on the spot?
Pei Qian immediately rejected. "No need!"
Lin Chang nodded. "That's right. That's what I told the Old Master!"
Pei Qian: "Huh?"
Lin Chang put on an expression that said 'I'm Boss Pei's confidant'. "I told the Old Master that Boss Pei started from scratch and is extremely talented. You've always been very resistant to help. Since Boss Pei has already planned every decision and has a high chance of success, we would only be adding to his troubles by helping him blindly. It's really superfluous. "
Pei Qian nodded happily. "That's right!"
Boss Lin really knows me best. I feel so good hearing you say that!
Although you have some problems with 'planning', as long as you don't add to my troubles, we can still be good friends!
Pei Qian pondered for a moment and then asked, "Boss Lin, did the Old Master hint when Lin Wan can go back?"
Lin Chang pondered for a moment. "Based on the Old Master's current attitude … Ah Wan should be able to go back when she has the ability to take charge."
Pei Qian quickly said, "I think she can hold her own with her current abilities!"
Lin Chang shook his head. "Obviously, the Old Master doesn't think so. Boss Pei, from the Old Master's point of view, Tengda is obviously still too small. Otto Technologies' current sales and profits are not even comparable to an ordinary OEM from a subsidiary of Shenhua's cell phone business. These results are still a long way from the Old Master's goal of 'taking charge'.
"At the very least, the business that Ah Wan is in charge of has to be ranked very highly in the same field. Only then would the Old Master take notice …"
Pei Qian's face darkened.
Ranked very highly?
If the cell phone had to be ranked very highly, the company would have to be worth tens of billions of yuan, right?
Are you kidding me?
Pei Qian pondered for a moment. "What about other businesses? For example, ranking at the top of the world in a certain category of the game industry. Does that count? "
Lin Chang pondered for a moment. "It should count. Old Master doesn't have any prejudice against games, but mobile games like Bloody Battle Song definitely won't do. Apart from making profits, you have to have enough influence as well. "
Pei Qian nodded. He had a rough idea.
He would arrange for Lin Wan to be in charge of IOI's local server!
They both had the same goal of 'letting Lin Wan go back and inherit the family business'. In the past, he had worked hard to make the project fail. Now, he was working hard to make the project a success.
Of course, the success of the project was contrary to Boss Pei's ultimate goal. However, success did not necessarily mean that the project would be profitable. It could also mean that the project would be popular!
Coincidentally, Pei Qian was still worried about who he should hand over IOI's local server, a project that would succeed even if it did nothing.
Now that he had confirmed it, he would hand it over to Lin Wan and Shang Yang Games!
He would be killing three birds with one stone.
In order to prevent Shang Yang Games from producing standalone games that were popular and popular, they had already proven their strength with Be Quiet.
They had proven their strength with Be Quiet.
No matter what, IOI's local server would most likely be a huge success. Since this was unavoidable, he would throw Lin Wan into the project to gild it. Once the project was successful, he would quickly ask Old Master Lin to pick her up.
Finally, the success of IOI's local server would also help them get rid of GOG. Tengda Games and Shang Yang Games would be at each other's throats. The younger brother would beat up the older brother. That would be a very exciting scene.
At that thought, Pei Qian nodded. "Alright, I'll try to get the Old Master to come pick him up in half a year!"
Boss Pei had no confidence in ensuring that the project would fail.
However, if the project succeeded, especially a project as reliable as IOI … Boss Pei still had some confidence.
Seeing how quickly Boss Pei's expression changed, Lin Chang looked suspicious. "Er … Boss Pei, you look like you're strategizing. Obviously, you have a well-thought-out plan."
"Then … you said before that you wanted Ah Wan to fail. You were just bluffing me, right?"
"Could it be that you have long guessed that as long as Ah Wan's career is successful enough, the old man will change his mind?"
"…"
"Boss Lin, if you keep guessing like this, you'll lose my friendship sooner or later."
