November 14th, Monday …
Pei Qian briefly sorted out his recent work in his office.
This cycle was relatively short. There were still more than two months before settlement. At the moment, all the projects were progressing smoothly. There should not be any problems.
Someone knocked on the door as he was thinking.
Pei Qian looked up and saw Ma Yang pushing the door open.
"Eh? You're back. How was the news conference? "Pei Qian asked casually.
Ma Yang sat opposite Pei Qian's desk. "News conference? That was boring! I almost fell asleep listening to it. "
"However, don't worry, Brother Qian. I didn't embarrass you. I even asked two questions."
Pei Qian looked up at him and continued browsing the web. "Oh."
Old Ma asked questions?
It was better not to talk about this topic. It would be very awkward to imagine the scene at that time.
Pei Qian was not interested in what Old Ma asked. Old Ma did not even listen to the content of the news conference seriously. What high-level questions could he ask? It would be good if he did not embarrass Tengda.
Of course, it was fine to embarrass himself. One of Pei Qian's biggest troubles now was that Tengda and Dream Realization Ventures had too many good reputations. They were overly deified and created a huge obstacle for him to incur losses.
Ma Yang did not take this matter to heart. Seeing that Pei Qian was not interested, he did not mention it anymore. Instead, he talked about the problem that he had been more concerned about recently: becoming an internet celebrity.
"Brother Qian, I'm here today to talk to you about live-streaming.
"I'm still helping people realize their dreams on Weibo, but the frequency has decreased a lot. Now, it's about once or twice a week. Each time, it ranges from thirty to fifty thousand yuan."
Pei Qian was stunned. "Oh? You can't be stingy or slack off when it comes to realizing dreams. Since you want to do this, you have to persevere. "
It was a good thing for Ma Yang to distribute money on Weibo. Why did it become less frequent? The amount of money distributed each time was about the same as before, but the total amount distributed decreased as the frequency decreased.
Ma Yang said, "Brother Qian, it's not that I'm not interested. The key is that there were many people who needed to realize their dreams at first, but now there are fewer and fewer. There are fewer and fewer new comments on Weibo. As a 'dream investor', I have to be strict. I can't just give money to everyone. "
Pei Qian was a little confused. "This … actually, dreams are very broad. You can relax your standards."
Ma Yang waved his hand. "Hey, Brother Qian, I've already been very broad. However, if they don't put their hearts into their dreams, how can they be considered dreams?"
"Some people don't even put their heart into their Weibo posts. It's hard for me to believe that this is their true dream."
"I even got someone to record all the records of the Dream Realisation and made a special table for them. Let me tell you, Brother Qian, although I'm not that smart, just average, no one can fool me! "
Pei Qian fell silent.
It seemed unrealistic to expect Old Ma to spend money endlessly.
Old Ma's spending on Weibo depended on whether the netizens' dreams were novel or not. He did not give money for all kinds of dreams. Just as Old Ma had said, if the jokes weren't well written, it meant that these people didn't care about their dreams. In that case, Old Ma wouldn't give them money.
In theory, Old Ma's idea was quite correct.
However, it was only once or twice a week, and it only cost thirty to fifty thousand yuan. Wasn't this frequency too low?
He had spent the Dream Fund's money quickly previously. Thus, Pei Qian continued to give money. In the end, Old Ma was becoming slower and slower.
However, seeing that Old Ma was so principled, Pei Qian could not say much.
Ma Yang continued. "There's also my live-stream. I've done two episodes so far. This week, I'll do the third episode.
"My live-stream was specially recorded by the staff and uploaded to Aili Island's website. The goods I carried were basically all flamed. A few small brands' online shops were closed the next day. A few bigger brands also sent an urgent notice. All the products involved were taken off the shelves for rectification." "That's right.
"There seems to be a local TV station that reported that these merchants were beaten down. Although they didn't mention me, I think I should have contributed a little, right?
"Sigh, however, Brother Qian, there's something I don't quite understand. Is this considered a live-stream of goods or a live-stream of goods being destroyed? The effect seems to be a little different from my initial expectations. "
Old Ma's long face was brimming with pride, but there was also a little confusion.
Pei Qian smiled. "Sigh, these are all minor details. Don't worry about it."
Ma Yang pondered for a moment and continued, "Brother Qian, Chen Yufeng told me that what I'm doing now is reasonable and legal, but it's still a little dangerous. He said that if possible, he wants me to talk to the company and apply for a bodyguard or something. "
"I don't think there's a need, but he insisted that I report it. That's why I want to ask, Brother Qian, what do you think?"
Pei Qian looked at Old Ma, his eyes shining. "Bodyguard?"
Ma Yang nodded. "Yes. Brother Qian, you think it's a little exaggerated, right? "
Pei Qian raised his hand. "It's not exaggerated! Old Ma, I'm just regretting that I didn't think of this. "
"We might be a society ruled by law, but we must not have the heart to harm others and not have the heart to guard against others."
"How about this? You're making a sacrifice for the company by appearing in public. In order to ensure your personal safety, I'll hire a personal bodyguard for you. I'll hire one hundred thousand yuan a month. He'll definitely protect you properly!"
Ma Yang was stunned. "Brother Qian, isn't this a little too high? You don't even have such specifications. "
Pei Qian shook his head. "Sigh, you can't say that. It's a job requirement to have a bodyguard for you. Don't decline."
Ma Yang might have said that there was no need, but he was still overjoyed to see Pei Qian so insistent. "Alright, Brother Qian, I'll accept the company's arrangements!"
"By the way, Brother Qian, a few brothers have been asking me for tickets to the GPL league recently. I told them that the company has rules that tickets have to be handled professionally. They didn't believe me, so I had no choice but to ask you."
Pei Qian nodded. "Hmm … I can give you some tickets, but I can't give you too much."
"How about this? I'll talk to Shang Yang Games later and set aside a portion of the tickets for internal employees. However, the number and seating must be strictly controlled. We can't give them randomly. "
Ma Yang was now an influential figure in school.
That was because Pei Qian had been deliberately hiding his identity. Thus, most people in school only treated him as a small internet celebrity and Boss Pei's actor. At most, they treated him as a higher-level employee of Tengda.
In any case, they did not treat him as Boss Pei himself.
However, Ma Yang had never thought of hiding his identity. Everyone knew that Ma Yang was a higher-up in Tengda. Especially recently, Ma Yang had been spreading money on Weibo and live-streaming. More and more people knew him.
Ma Yang rarely showed his face in school now because he was afraid of trouble.
However, he could avoid trouble in school, but he could not avoid friends that he had known for a long time.
Fortunately, most of his friends knew their limits. It was not time for them to graduate and look for jobs, so they were too embarrassed to ask Ma Yang for too much.
It was not too much to ask for two tickets to the GPL competition.
What's more, there should be quite a number of internal employees who had such needs. It was better to set up the rules as soon as possible so that when the GPL league officially started, the internal employees would not fight with the audience for the tickets. That would not be appropriate.
Ma Yang was very happy. "Alright, Brother Qian, I have nothing else to do. I'll go back and prepare for the next delivery."
After sending Ma Yang off, Pei Qian thought for a moment. It had been a while since he had gone to Shang Yang Games. Thus, he stood up and headed over to see how work was going.
…
Shang Yang Games, conference room …
A few core members had arrived. Lin Wan began to report on the work during this period.
"Boss Pei, Shang Yang Games is still following the previous work plan and is mainly in charge of two aspects. The first is GOG's overseas operations. The other is Wang Xiaobin, who is in charge of the new version of the old game. "
"At the moment, GOG's overseas operations are developing well. Our publicity might have slowed down, but GOG's current popularity and market share are still growing because of its advantages in gameplay, client-side and mobile games, and early-stage operations. "
"To us, spending less money and maintaining such a growth rate is a very cost-effective and cost-effective thing."
"At the moment, the main work of GOG's overseas operations is to develop the existing characters of Hurricane Comics Company in addition to the usual promotion and operations. The response is not bad, and it is more suitable for the tastes of European and American players."
"The development of the new version is also going smoothly. However, due to limited manpower and resources, the deadline is relatively short. Thus, there are only some standard changes."
Pei Qian nodded.
Yes, that would do.
Now, he could not hope to spend a lot of money without producing results. That would be too unrealistic.
GOG would be slowly promoted after a small period of time. The new version would also be standard. Even if they were to make money, they would not make too much. That was good enough.
Lin Wan continued. "Also, Boss Pei, there's a piece of news that you might not be paying attention to. I saw it by accident, so I'll mention it."
"Eric has been replaced. Dayak Corporation has changed someone to be in charge of the promotion of IOI's local server. "
Pei Qian was stunned. "Eric? Oh, that's the … that's the person-in-charge of IOI's local server, right? "
Lin Wan nodded. "Yes, it seems to have happened in the past few days. If I'm not wrong, he should have flown away quietly, right?"
Pei Qian could not help but fall silent.
Eric really came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
Didn't he say that he was going to do something? Didn't he say that he was going to lead IOI's local server to a good fight with GOG?
In the end, I was just ready, and nothing had happened. Eric had already left?
This was really … the affairs of the world were unpredictable.
For some reason, Pei Qian felt a little emotional.
If he had known, he would have sent him off. It would have been a pity.
"That's right, Boss Pei." Lin Wan recalled something.
"I've already arranged for the GPL league tickets that you mentioned previously. We have to study the exact location of these tickets and how internal employees can obtain them."
"The GPL league venue has been renovated recently. It's still the same venue as GOG's global finals. However, the decorations have been rearranged according to the clubs that have been finalized, and the flags of the various clubs have been hung up. "
"Of course, the various details of the venue have also been optimized according to the suggestions of the audience in the global finals."
"Why don't we take some time to go and take a look in the afternoon?"
Pei Qian nodded. "Alright, let's go and take a look."
