Pei Qian could not help but be stunned.
Game design?
Yes, that was true in the eyes of others.
Ever since Tengda's games department was established, every project had been successful. What's more, the game genre was almost never repeated.
The other departments were more or less at a low point. Only the games department seemed to have never failed.
In the eyes of others, Boss Pei's foresight, leadership, and decision-making skills were outstanding. He was also very successful in various fields such as investment, industry, digital, and food and beverage. However, the most outstanding thing was probably his ability to design games.
Tengda Games had always been seen as the trump card of Tengda Corporation. The employees who walked out of this department were all able to hold their own.
However, that was only what the outside world thought.
Pei Qian really wanted to say: I don't have any game design skills at all!
All along, the thing he did the most in the process of creating games was to go against the successful experience in the market. However, for some reason, the games would always be a huge success in the end.
However, Tang Yishu's words gave Pei Qian a lot of inspiration.
Pei Qian nodded. "Yes, I understand. There's nothing else."
Pei Qian had already determined his direction after Tang Yishu left.
Learn game design!
All the problems that he had been struggling with before could be solved with this method.
First of all, he actually did not understand game design at all. There was a lot of room for improvement. If he understood a little, the System would judge it as a gain.
Second, it should not be very difficult to learn game design concepts. It would not be like professional knowledge where he could not learn it at all.
Third, he would definitely not go to training classes to learn games. He would directly spend money to hire awesome designers from top-tier domestic games companies for one-on-one tutoring. Those big shots' monthly bonuses were hundreds of thousands or even millions. It would not be too much to pay them a hundred thousand yuan for one-on-one tutoring, right?
Finally, learning more game design knowledge was a way for Pei Qian to fill in the gaps. He had been making money because he did not understand game design. If he understood, wouldn't he be able to avoid making money better and realize Tengda Games' historical loss?
It was a perfect solution!
The more Pei Qian thought about it, the more reliable he felt.
At the moment, there might not be many domestic game designers who could gain fame and fortune, but there were definitely many who could make money.
Pei Qian thought that making money was definitely a kind of design skill. The System should also recognize it.
All in all, he would contact a few first.
Even if Boss Pei was willing to pay, they might not be willing to move to Jingzhou.
This kind of successful producer either had their own company, held shares of the company, or received a large sum of money from a successful project.
Even if they were short of money, they might not have the time. If their project was in the research and development stage, they wouldn't be able to leave at all.
Considering the consumption of time and energy, he might not be interested in the tuition fee of a few hundred thousand.
In short, he had to find a suitable candidate first before discussing in detail.
Pei Qian called Assistant Xin over. "Contact a few well-known domestic games companies and find their best game designers. Tell them that I sincerely want to learn some game design knowledge. Ask them if they're willing to come to Jingzhou to teach. Tuition fees can be negotiated."
Assistant Xin's face revealed a trace of astonishment, but she did not ask any more questions. She nodded and turned around, ready to go.
Pei Qian added, "This matter should not be spread."
Assistant Xin nodded. "Understood."
After Assistant Xin left, Pei Qian could not help but let his imagination run wild.
I don't know which game designer will accept my kind invitation.
Pei Qian tried hard to recall and realized that he had not really interacted with other game designers apart from Sun Strike Studios' Zhou Muyan. However, that was more than a year ago.
The main reason was that games were just a way for Pei Qian to incur losses. He had no interest in the domestic games industry and had no motive to take the initiative to befriend these successful game designers.
Thus, until now, Pei Qian did not know many game designers.
However, that did not matter. Tengda Games was considered slightly famous in the domestic games industry. If Boss Pei sincerely wanted to learn some game design knowledge, there would have to be one or two big bosses who would be willing to come, right?
Or perhaps, they could simply come to befriend Boss Pei!
Jingzhou was a rich place with many good things to eat and play. It would not be a loss to come!
Pei Qian wondered which big boss would be willing to come. He was looking forward to it.
Pei Qian could not help but let his imagination run wild.
More than ten minutes later, there was a knock on the door. Assistant Xin had returned.
Pei Qian was looking forward to it. "Who agreed to come?"
Assistant Xin's expression was slightly strange. "Er, Boss Pei, I asked four companies. They … all rejected me."
Pei Qian was stunned. "Why? Is it because I did not clarify the issue of tuition fees? Or is it because we are not sincere enough? "
Assistant Xin shook her head. "It's not about money or sincerity.
They did not believe us at all. They thought we were joking.
"One of them said this: Stop joking. Boss Pei is already the top game designer in the country. Who would dare to teach him? Are they trying to show off in front of an expert?
"Another said: I only know how to make games with paywalls. I can't even taste Boss Pei's car exhaust when it comes to artistry. How would I have the cheek to teach Boss Pei?
"Everyone expressed that they would be very willing to come as guests and befriend him. However, they would forget about teaching him.
"I felt that there would not be any results even if I continued asking. Thus, I did not ask any more people. I came back to report to you first."
Pei Qian was speechless. "Why don't we ask Sun Strike Studios' Zhou Muyan?"
Old acquaintances should be easier to talk to, right?
Assistant Xin smiled. "I've asked him. His reaction was the most intense."
Pei Qian, "…"
This matter was going to blow up.
Pei Qian did not want to be picky about words. Be it learning or communication, the effects were about the same.
However, the System's requirements were very clear.
It had to be learning. Furthermore, the 1.6 million yuan had to be spent in the form of tuition fees and teaching related expenses.
Communication and discussion were not in line with the System's requirements!
Pei Qian did not expect to be rejected. He did not expect to be rejected for such a reason.
Everyone thought that Boss Pei's game design standards were too high. They were too embarrassed to teach him!
Pei Qian was indignant.
He had painstakingly thought of this idea. Was he going to give up just like that? Absolutely not!
If they were not willing to teach him, he would have to learn anonymously!
That was because Pei Qian had always kept his identity a secret. Not many people knew who he really was. There were also no photos or videos of him during the interview.
In other words, even if he met these producers, they would not know that he was Boss Pei.
Pei Qian thought that he could pretend to be a rich second-generation heir. He could pay 1.6 million yuan to these successful producers to teach him game design.
In any case, he was a rich second-generation heir. It would not be strange for him to do anything. These producers would not be too suspicious.
However, that brought about a new problem.
The 1.6 million yuan was paid by the System. He had to transfer it from the company's account. What would the other party think when they realized that it was Tengda who transferred the money?
Why would this rich second-generation heir use Tengda's company account to pay his tuition fees?
That did not seem right.
After further consideration, he decided to change his identity. He would not be a rich second-generation heir. He would be an outstanding employee of Tengda.
Boss Pei had specially paid 1.6 million yuan for him to use as he pleased to further his studies because of his outstanding work.
This outstanding employee had always yearned for game design. As he did not lack money, he decided to use the money to hire an outstanding game designer to learn from successful game design.
In that case, he would definitely not be an employee of the games department. In that case … he would be in the investment department!
He would receive a special reward from Boss Pei because his investment was successful.
Hmm, if that's the case, it barely makes sense.
If someone asked him why he did not look for Boss Pei to teach him game design since he was an employee of Tengda …
He could reply: Boss Pei was busy with work and did not have time.
Although there were still some loopholes, it should not be a big problem. In any case, he would be able to bluff as many people as he could.
As long as a successful game designer was willing to teach him, he would be able to spend the money.
What's more, these were basically the truth. Pei Qian could indeed be said to be an outstanding employee of Tengda. He had indeed achieved results in the investment department.
However, he had hidden one piece of information: this outstanding employee was the same person as Boss Pei.
Pei Qian considered for a moment and said, "How about this? Switch to a few more companies. Say that our investment department has an outstanding employee who wants to learn some game design knowledge. We will hire him to teach us with a lot of money."
Assistant Xin immediately understood. "Alright, Boss Pei."
She knew very well that the 'outstanding employee' that Boss Pei was referring to was himself. This was to avoid a situation where no one dared to teach him again.
As for why Boss Pei was so insistent on hiring other game designers to teach him?
Assistant Xin was slightly curious, but she did not ask much.
Boss Pei had always been a unique person. This was not the most puzzling thing that Boss Pei had ever done. There was nothing to be surprised about.
Another ten minutes later, Assistant Xin returned.
"Boss Pei, one of the game designers said that he could consider it."
Pei Qian was elated. "Who?"
Assistant Xin: "He An, Boss He of Mengguo Games. As a veteran game designer in the country, he has made achievements in both standalone and online games. He is well-known in the domestic game industry. He is currently semi-retired and flies around the country to enjoy life.
"Boss Pei, do you think it's alright?"
Pei Qian nodded. "Alright!"
In any case, to him, these successful game designers should be similar. They should have a more unique understanding of games.
It was fine as long as they were willing to come.
Assistant Xin nodded. "Alright, I'll book the air tickets now. Boss He is now semi-retired and has nothing to do. If everything goes well, he should be able to reach Jingzhou tomorrow.
"Oh, that's right. Boss He said that he wants to do a simple test. He won't teach people who are too stupid."
At this point, Assistant Xin smiled. "Of course, this is just a small condition that is not worth mentioning to you, Boss Pei."
With that, Assistant Xin turned and left.
Pei Qian's mouth was slightly agape as he fell into a daze.
Huh?
A small condition that is not worth mentioning?
Pei Qian felt like a student who had not done any revision at all and was suddenly going to take an entrance test.
It sounded simple, but in reality, it was impossible!
Was it too late to do some revision now?
The problem was, who knew what the other party was going to do? There were no textbooks either. How was he going to revise …?
Pei Qian could not help but frown. He deeply doubted the decision he had made.
