Wu Zhicheng was stunned. "Boss Pei? Which Boss Pei? Why are you thanking him? "
Qiu Hong was stunned. His heart skipped a beat.
Sh * t!
Why did he say what he was thinking?!
Previously, Boss Pei had repeatedly instructed him not to have any contact with Tengda for the 'Destitution Plan'. This matter had to be kept a secret.
Qiu Hong had done it in his own name when he implemented the 'Destitution Plan' and provided financial help to these independent game studios. He did not use Boss Pei and Tengda's names.
However, this time, Qiu Hong was feeling emotional and could not control his emotions.
In Qiu Hong's opinion, the 'Destitution Plan' was a plan that could greatly promote the development of the independent games industry. Boss Pei was truly contributing to this industry.
Of course, 'contribution' did not necessarily mean that he did not want any income and was purely doing good deeds.
Sometimes, he could clearly earn more, but he chose to earn less and give more benefits to the vulnerable groups in the industry. That was also a form of contribution.
What Boss Pei was doing was to give as much profit as possible. The 'Destitution Plan' itself was a business plan and had a certain chance of earning money. However, no one would do such a thing other than Boss Pei.
That was why Qiu Hong sighed from the bottom of his heart. He and all the independent game designers, and even the entire domestic games industry, should thank Boss Pei.
That was because Boss Pei was truly helping the entire industry.
In the end, he accidentally let it slip and forgot that Boss Pei had asked him to keep it a secret.
Qiu Hong quickly coughed twice. "What I mean is, I was actually inspired and inspired to do this after seeing the independent game that Boss Pei created."
"From this point, Boss Pei can be considered the mentor and spiritual pillar of the 'Destitution Plan'."
"Boss Pei might not have provided direct help to this plan, but he provided spiritual support. That is also very important."
"Of course, I was just saying that casually. Don't take it seriously."
Wu Zhicheng nodded. "Oh, I understand. Actually, I also treat Boss Pei as my idol. "
Qiu Hong wiped the cold sweat off his forehead seeing that Wu Zhicheng did not suspect anything.
What a close shave!
However, Qiu Hong knew very well that Boss Pei's identity as the backer of the Destitution Plan would be exposed sooner or later.
He could hide it now because Qiu Hong had not helped enough independent game studios. It did not have such a huge impact yet.
In the future, when his business expanded, he would provide funds and establish incubation bases. There would be more and more business dealings. Sooner or later, he would be discovered.
He could only follow Boss Pei's instructions and hide it for as long as possible.
Qiu Hong stood up. "Continue with your work. I'll go back and prepare. I'll contact you again when the incubation base is ready."
"In short, just focus all your energy on the game development. I'll think of a way to solve the other trivial matters!"
Wu Zhicheng quickly nodded. "Alright, Boss Qiu!"
…
In the afternoon.
After the meal, Pei Qian chatted with the bosses for a long time and finally sent most of them off.
Now that the matter of the GPL had been finalized, all that was left was for Zhang Yuan and the E-Sports Department to carry out the preparations.
The new bosses had to build a club from scratch. They had to recruit club employees including managers, team leaders, teaching assistants, analysts, and so on. Then, they had to recruit members, organize training, and wait for the GPL competition to officially begin.
On the other hand, Zhang Yuan had to be in charge of the daily training of the DGE Club while arranging for the staff of the E-Sports Department to prepare for the GPL, GDL, and internet cafe competitions.
That was a very long and tedious job, especially for the internet cafe competition.
In order to ensure that the internet cafe competition was fair and just, he had to ensure that the competition would be held in Fish-Catching Internet Cafe 3.0.
However, Fish-Catching Internet Cafe 3.0's model had not been promoted to the entire country yet.
Thus, Zhang Yuan had to inform Xiao Peng and ask him to open up Fish-Catching Internet Cafe 3.0 as soon as possible. Even if it was impossible for each city to have one internet cafe, he had to at least have one internet cafe in each province.
For example, in some economically developed areas with many E-Sports talents, he had to open up a few more.
Fish-Catching Internet Cafe 3.0 was already a profitable model, but opening up these internet cafes would still require a lot of investment. It would take a long time for them to recover their capital.
Thus, Pei Qian welcomed this matter very much. It was always good to spend money now. Earning money in the future was a matter for the future. There was no need to think so far away for now.
Thus, Pei Qian would not ask too much about the details of these things. In any case, the results would not be too different whether he asked or not. He might earn more if he asked. It was better to not see it and not worry about it.
Pei Qian was just about to leave when he saw Li Shi and Xue Zhebin send off the other three bosses and walk over.
Li Shi and Xue Zhebin were treating today. Pei Qian wanted to rush to pay the bill, but he held back after some consideration.
Li Shi and Xue Zhebin came to Pei Qian, and the three of them chatted for a while.
Then, Li Shi changed the topic and asked casually, "Boss Pei, I heard that Dream Realization Ventures has invested in a new project recently?"
Pei Qian was instantly alert.
Eh?
What do you mean?!
Boss Li and those investors want to invest with Dream Realization Ventures again?
Stop fooling around!
Pei Qian quickly said seriously, "Dream Realization Ventures is indeed investing in new projects, but I am not involved in these projects. I don't even know what companies Dream Realization Ventures has invested in.
"If you want to invest again, you must think twice before you act!"
Everything he said was true.
That was because Pei Qian had already explained to He Desheng that no matter who came to ask for investment, the process would be the same: first do the most basic review, then give money according to the size of the company, and at the same time send finance to supervise the company.
Pei Qian really did not know how many companies Dream Realization Ventures had invested in so far, nor did he care.
Pei Qian could not get rid of Boss Li and these investors. He felt very helpless.
Pei Qian had also thought about letting Boss Li and the others invest with him. In any case, if the investment failed and they lost everything, they would naturally leave. However, the problem was that they would not lose money once they invested!
How many unreliable projects had been lifted up by Boss Li and the others?
Thus, Pei Qian spoke very sincerely, afraid that Boss Li would misunderstand and stubbornly follow Dream Realization Ventures to invest and make a loss project profit.
He had thought that Boss Li would continue to probe, but Li Shi only nodded slightly and did not comment. "Alright."
Pei Qian could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Boss Li did not insist.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Li Shi and Xue Zhebin, Pei Qian got into the car and prepared to go back to rest.
Li Shi said to Xue Zhebin after watching Boss Pei's car drive away, "As expected, Boss Pei probably doesn't know about the 'Cold-Faced Lady' project."
"That Meng Chang has been using the banner of 'Boss Pei' to do publicity. He's probably selling dog meat to ride on the popularity."
"If it's a project that Boss Pei has personally reviewed, we can indeed invest directly. However, a project like 'Cold-Faced Lady' … forget it. Let's pay closer attention."
Xue Zhebin frowned slightly and asked, "Boss Li, are you saying that this Meng Chang is actually a liar? Is this project a scam? "
Li Shi shook his head. "We can't jump to conclusions about that. I don't have mind-reading skills after all. It's impossible for me to know what Meng Chang is thinking."
"Many outstanding entrepreneurs in history would have a kind of fanaticism. They would come up with overly grand and idealistic ideas. Sometimes, they would indeed act like liars."
"As for Meng Chang's actions …"
"He used the banner of 'Boss Pei's investment' to attract more resources. That's not considered a lie. That's because he did receive an investment from Dream Realization Ventures. However, he only told a portion of the truth and deliberately misled other investors."
"However, how this behavior is characterized depends on the final outcome of this project."
"If he fails, he would be a morally corrupt liar and a clown. If he succeeds, he would be a quick-witted entrepreneur who doesn't care about trifles."
"Most of the time, business society is based on results. That's funny, but that's the truth."
"I think we have to observe Meng Chang a little more."
"Let's not be in a hurry to invest money, but we can't label him as a liar now."
Li Shi had obtained a lot of news about the 'Cold-Faced Lady' over the past two days.
After Meng Chang received the investment from Dream Realization Ventures, he began to spread the news that the 'Cold-Faced Lady' project had received an investment from Dream Realization Ventures. It was a very mature business plan and he wanted to use it to attract more investments.
Li Shi was really tempted. If it was really a project that Boss Pei had invested in, he would consider investing in it.
However, after asking today, he realized that this was not a project that Boss Pei had invested in. It was just a regular investment by Dream Realization Ventures.
That was a huge difference.
Xue Zhebin pondered for a moment and asked, "Are we still going to the 'Cold-Faced Lady' investment news conference that Meng Chang said will be held in Beijing the day after tomorrow? I heard that the news conference this time will be quite a big one. What's more, they will explain the business model of the 'Cold-Faced Lady' and only open it to a small number of investors. "
Li Shi pondered for a moment. "It's fine to go and take a look. However, I'm more concerned about … will Boss Pei go? "
Xue Zhebin nodded. "Alright, let's go together and see if Meng Chang is really capable or if he's just scamming money."
…
Pei Qian was dozing off in the car.
His cell phone rang when he was about to reach home.
Pei Qian took out his cell phone and saw that it was He Desheng.
"Boss Pei, er … I have something to disturb you about. We invested in a company called 'Cold-Faced Lady'. The day after tomorrow, we will hold an investment news conference in Beijing. The main purpose is to introduce the business model to investors and attract more investments. They also sent us an invitation. Do you think there's a need to go? "
He Desheng probed.
To be honest, he was not sure if there was a need to report this to Boss Pei. However, Meng Chang's powerpoint was indeed good and the business model was very clear. Thus, he reported it to Boss Pei truthfully and let him decide whether to go or not.
Pei Qian yawned.
He instinctively did not want to run back and forth and mess around when he heard that it was in Beijing.
"This company … we've already invested in it?" Pei Qian asked.
He Desheng answered, "Yes, Boss Pei. Actually, this company has already received our two million yuan investment. It's also because of this that the founder of this company sincerely invited you to attend the news conference. "
Pei Qian was still uninterested. After some thought, he said, "How about this? Tell Boss Ma to attend on my behalf."
He Desheng was stunned. "Huh? Boss Ma? Oh, alright, Boss Pei. I got it. "
He Desheng's subconscious reaction was, how could Boss Ma replace Boss Pei?
However, on further thought, Boss Ma seemed to be really capable. After all, it was not too much to call Boss Ma an investment genius in terms of the investment results.
What's more, Boss Ma was Boss Pei's good brother, comrade-in-arms, and an outstanding employee of Tengda. He was completely qualified to replace Boss Pei.
Since that was the case, he would hand Meng Chang's invitation to Boss Ma.
