He Desheng and Meng Chang were stunned by Boss Pei's words.
Meng Chang was originally in high spirits and was about to continue speaking. However, Boss Pei's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, causing his heart to turn cold.
Meng Chang's expression changed from shock to confusion and then to confusion.
His usual calm and composed demeanor had disappeared without a trace. He was even stuttering as he said, "Boss … Boss Pei, why do you say that? You're not joking, are you? You can point out what you did wrong, Cold-Faced Lady! "
Meng Chang panicked.
To him, it was very important to get money from Boss Pei today. However, he would not suffer too much of a loss even if he could not get the money. After all, he had enough funds to last for a period of time.
It was always right to try his luck under such circumstances.
However, Meng Chang did not expect Boss Pei to withdraw!
This news was like a bolt out of the blue to Meng Chang!
That was because what Meng Chang needed the most at the moment was not money but the confidence of investors.
Whether it was taking investments from Boss Pei, burning money to make speeches, or creating hype, they were all to increase the confidence of investors.
The company's valuation would only continue to rise if investors had confidence in the Cold-Faced Lady and continued to invest money. Only then would they be able to continue playing this game and finally cash out and achieve financial freedom.
However, on the other hand, once the investors' confidence collapsed and no one thought highly of the Cold-Faced Lady brand, Meng Chang would not be able to last long at his current rate of burning money.
The news could not be hidden once Boss Pei withdrew. It was very likely that the Cold-Faced Lady would collapse completely!
Thus, even Meng Chang, who had always been calm and could handle all kinds of situations with ease, could not help but panic.
Pei Qian smiled very politely. "There's nothing wrong with the Cold-Faced Lady brand. I'm doing this purely because of some internal reasons in Tengda. It has nothing to do with you."
The corners of Meng Chang's mouth twitched. He felt like his intelligence had been insulted.
What the f * ck do you mean it has nothing to do with me? Do you think I'm a fool?
We were having a good chat when you came, but you suddenly said that you wanted to leave halfway through my PowerPoint presentation. Then, you said that it had nothing to do with me?
Who were you lying to!
Boss Pei was definitely doing this on purpose!
However, Meng Chang had no choice. He could not possibly point at Boss Pei and scold him now, right?
Pei Qian sipped his tea. "Given the Cold-Faced Lady's current situation, there should be many investors who would fight to invest. Someone would definitely buy Tengda's shares if it sold them. The Cold-Faced Lady's valuation would not be affected. What's more, since it's already profitable, there's nothing to worry about, right? "
Meng Chang opened his mouth but was momentarily speechless.
Boss Pei's words made so much sense that he was speechless for a moment.
Indeed, according to Meng Chang's bragging, Tengda's exit would not affect the Cold-Faced Lady. There were many people waiting to take over anyway. However, the problem was, why did Tengda want to leave?
Wouldn't it be better to hold on to the shares and wait for them to appreciate?
Or could it be that Boss Pei had already seen through my plan and was deliberately acting to tease me?
Was this sarcasm or humiliation?
Meng Chang froze for a moment. Even with his intelligence and cunning, he could not figure out what Boss Pei was really thinking at that moment. He was instantly at a loss.
He Desheng, who was sitting at the side, did not say anything. Instead, he paid close attention to the slight changes in Boss Pei's expression.
In his opinion, Meng Chang's PowerPoint might have some tricks up his sleeves, and it was obvious that he had played some numbers games in the financial department. However, this was a common phenomenon. The flaws did not obscure the beauty. The Cold-Faced Lady was still a company worth investing in.
Boss Pei was not thinking about selling a portion of the shares to cash out and retain a portion of the shares. Instead, he was thinking about leaving directly and completely separating himself from the Cold-Faced Lady.
Could it be that Boss Pei was still resolutely carrying out his previous investment strategy? Even a brand like the Cold-Faced Lady was no exception?
However … strictly speaking, the so-called 'turning losses into profits' of the Cold-Faced Lady was actually a lot of exaggeration. It was a 'turning losses into profits on the PowerPoint' after deducting a large amount of costs in the future and a portion of marketing expenses. It was not really profitable.
He Desheng felt that as a subordinate, he had to remind him.
He leaned over to Boss Pei's ear and whispered, "Boss Pei, the Cold-Faced Lady has not really made a profit yet. It's only showing signs of making a profit. Should we strictly follow the investment rules we set previously and wait for the Cold-Faced Lady to make a profit before withdrawing, or should we withdraw now? "
Eh?
Pei Qian could not help but frown and hesitate for a moment.
If he withdrew his investment, he would be afraid of killing a loyal subordinate in vain. If he did not withdraw, he would be afraid that the valuation would become higher and higher. The later he withdrew, the more he would earn. That would be troublesome then.
After some consideration, Pei Qian felt that he should give Meng Chang the last chance.
He looked at Meng Chang. "Don't talk about those fancy things on the PowerPoint. Just tell me the truth. What's the probability that the Cold-Faced Lady will make me earn money?"
"Is there any possibility of incurring losses? How much can we lose at most? "
"Tell me the truth and give me an accurate figure."
Meng Chang saw He Desheng whispering something into Boss Pei's ear. He did not know what exactly he said, but judging from Boss Pei's attitude, this matter seemed to have turned for the better.
Meng Chang was overjoyed as if he had grabbed onto a life-saving straw.
In his opinion, Boss Pei was obviously giving him a warning to show his determination!
Meng Chang could not help but feel a little regretful because he felt that he had exposed himself just now.
His reaction was a little too extreme when Boss Pei said that he wanted to withdraw. This actually showed that the Cold-Faced Lady was indeed very dependent on Tengda's financial support.
On the other hand, Boss Pei's latter question seemed to be asking Meng Chang how much benefit he could bring to Tengda Corporation after accurately grasping the Cold-Faced Lady's weakness.
At that moment, Meng Chang did not have much choice. He had to stand firmly on Boss Pei's side and promise Boss Pei a bright future in exchange for Boss Pei's continued support.
At that thought, Meng Chang immediately became very serious and solemn. He decisively guaranteed, "Boss Pei, don't worry. The Cold-Faced Lady will definitely make you earn money! It's just a matter of earning more or less! "
"I promise you that I can help you achieve at least one of the two ways to earn money."
"The first is for the Cold-Faced Lady to continue to earn profits. As a major shareholder of the Cold-Faced Lady, you will hold the shares for a long time and obtain dividends until they are listed. The second is for you to leave at any time when you want to after more capital enters. The longer you hold it, the higher the valuation, and the more you will earn!"
"As for incurring losses, I guarantee you that such a situation will never happen."
"Up until now, every step of the Cold-Faced Lady's development has been within my plans. As long as you continue to develop step by step, your investment will definitely be rewarded handsomely. There will not be any risk of incurring losses!"
"Therefore, I hope that you can persevere for at least another three months, no, a month. You will definitely see returns! Of course, it would be even better if you could invest more money … "
Pei Qian fell into a minute of silence.
Then, he picked up his teacup. "Send the guest off!"
Meng Chang was shocked. "Eh? Boss Pei! "
He looked at Boss Pei and then at He Desheng, his mind blank.
What was going on? Didn't things just turn for the better? Why did Boss Pei's face collapse all of a sudden?
What did I say wrong?
He Desheng had already stood up. "Please."
Meng Chang did not give up. He wanted to say something else to try and make Boss Pei change his mind. However, he hesitated and gave up seeing Boss Pei's determined attitude.
That was because he knew that caring would lead to chaos. If he lost his composure because of anxiety, it would be easier for him to reveal flaws in front of Boss Pei. Boss Pei would only be more determined to retreat.
He would retreat first and wait for Boss Pei's emotions to settle. Things might turn for the better in two days.
This was the only way out of desperation.
At that thought, Meng Chang could only nod unwillingly. "Alright, Boss Pei. Take your time to think about it."
He Desheng sent Meng Chang off and returned to the guest room.
"Boss Pei, are you sure you want to sell all of the Cold-Faced Lady's shares? Aren't you going to reconsider? "He Desheng asked.
Pei Qian was determined. "Sell! Sell it immediately! "
"Wouldn't we be able to earn a lot of money if we sell it now?"
Pei Qian was already prepared for the worst.
He Desheng shook his head. "Boss Pei, that's hard to say. The Cold-Faced Lady is not listed at the moment, and its valuation is very low. How much these shares are worth depends on the negotiation between the two parties. Let's see how much the buyer is willing to pay. "
"However, don't worry, Boss Pei. I'll do my best to negotiate and strive for the highest price."
"What's more, Meng Chang would not let you sell your shares cheaply. After all, this would affect the Cold-Faced Lady's valuation and the confidence of other investors. He would definitely work hard to facilitate a high price. The two of us should be able to negotiate together. However, it would be difficult to guarantee a specific figure. "
The corners of Pei Qian's mouth twitched.
Work hard to sell it at a high price?
How could that do!
Pei Qian had invested a total of eight million yuan in the Cold-Faced Lady. Wouldn't he vomit blood on the spot if he earned twenty to thirty million yuan?
He had to sell it cheaply. It would be best if it was lower than eight million yuan!
Pei Qian thought for a moment and said, "Can you … sell it at a lower price?"
He Desheng was stunned.
What did he mean by selling it at a lower price? Did Boss Pei think that selling it at a higher price was too much?
However, he quickly reacted. "Oh, Boss Pei, are you saying that we should not negotiate repeatedly in order to sell it at a higher price but sell it as soon as possible? It's fine to sell it at a lower price in order to sell it as soon as possible? "
Pei Qian: "… Something like that."
He could not explicitly say that He Desheng was selling it cheaply. He could only hint at it this way. However, He Desheng's understanding was not wrong. The outcome should be the same.
He Desheng nodded. "I understand, Boss Pei. I will definitely handle this matter properly!"
…
…
December 14th, Wednesday …
At the filming location of Mission and Choice.
"Cut!"
"Alright, this one is not bad. We'll keep another one later. We can call it a day."
"Not bad, your condition has been getting better recently. The filming progress is faster than expected. Indeed, we knew that we did not find the wrong person as the main lead!"
Zhu Xiaoce was not stingy with his praise for Lu Zhiyao.
Lu Zhiyao smiled in embarrassment. "Sigh, it's all because of Boss Pei's good guidance and the script. I'm just icing on the cake."
Zhu Xiaoce patted him on the shoulder. "Why are you being humble? Come, this is the script for the next stage. Take some time to take a look and feel it. "
Lu Zhiyao reached out to take it.
According to Director Zhu Xiaoce's plan, the movie 'Mission and Choice' had to be completed around March. That was because there was still a lot of time to do post-production and special effects.
Almost all the scenes in 'Mission and Choice' had special effects. It was very time-consuming to do. They had to reserve enough time to ensure that it would be released in June according to the original plan.
The pressure on filming was also quite great.
The current filming progress did not follow the script completely. Many scenes in the first part of the plot had not been completely filmed and were in the most satisfactory state. However, Zhu Xiaoce felt that Lu Zhiyao's acting skills and state had more or less adjusted. He could basically perfectly control the role of Qin Yi in the previous stage. He could almost give him the script for the next stage so that he could figure out the next stage of Qin Yi in advance.
The filming progress was relatively smooth, thanks to Boss Pei.
On one hand, Boss Pei had given Lu Zhiyao confidence and stimulated his potential. He had allowed him to figure out the role and train his acting skills on his own. His acting skills had improved without anyone's guidance. On the other hand, the Fully-Automated Smart Bickering Machine that Boss Pei had arranged for someone to create also allowed Lu Zhiyao to act with AEEIS whenever he had time. He could be more immersed in figuring out the role.
Now, Lu Zhiyao was about to accept a new challenge.
Lu Zhiyao could not wait to flip open the script and check the rest of the plot.
In the previous plot, Qin Yi had already understood the inevitability of the previous commander and AEEIS's command. Lu Zhiyao could not wait to welcome the arrival of the final battle between humans and Zergs.
…
Qin Yi was expressionless as he commanded battle after battle in an orderly manner. Countless starships were destroyed around him. Countless humans and Zergs were blasted into pieces without any corpses left.
He was like a perfect war machine, giving orders one after another and commanding one battle after another. The death of soldiers no longer seemed to cause any ripples in his emotions.
If the death of one person was a tragedy, then the death of too many people was just a number.
During this long shot, AEEIS had an emotionless side. It looked like it was speaking to Qin Yi, the audience in front of the camera, and the players who were playing games.
"Command is the most crucial part of the war. It gathers countless soldiers together to form a powerful force. "
"Command can be divided into two aspects: information processing and action decision making."
"In war, the processing of information is especially important, because the wrong information means the wrong decision. Both sides of the war will obtain a huge amount of information at every moment. How to deal with this information, judge its authenticity and priority, often determines whether the final decision is correct. "
"Information can be seen as a 'transmission chain': a message has to go through various levels and channels like a chain, whether it is uploaded or sent down. The transmission chain determines the efficiency of information utilization. "
"Under any circumstances, the information transmitted is' selective '. Otherwise, both the commander and his subordinates would be overwhelmed by the huge amount of information and would be at a loss."
"This selectivity is the most basic logical setting. Therefore, deception has always existed with war."
"In ancient Huaxia, there was a story of 'looking at plums to quench thirst'. In the modern war, the Japanese army deliberately concealed the truth of the war after the Battle of Midway."
"The truth of the Battle of Midway was not told to the public nor to the senior officials. Instead, it was announced that this war was' one battle to determine the overall situation '. The deceived citizens even celebrated the' victory 'with lanterns and banners."
"In most cases, 'deception' is not 'telling the wrong truth', but 'deliberately hiding part of the information'."
"In order to ensure that the soldiers obey orders, very few superiors would directly order the soldiers to 'give up your life'. Not only would that not give the soldiers any sense of honor, but it would also cause a fatal blow to their morale."
"In war command, commanders often only give a clear mission. For example, they can hold a position for two hours and retreat after that. However, the commander would never say that there is a high chance that the entire army will be wiped out in this operation. "
"Therefore, deception is not a hypocritical trick. Most of the time, it is just the most efficient way to deal with the information transmission chain. It is to expand the results of the battle, reduce losses, and obtain greater victory."
Qin Yi began to command battle after battle with AEEIS 'narration.
These battles were mixed with real and virtual battles because of the existence of realistic elements.
If Qin Yi failed in a battle or was dissatisfied with the results, he could ask AEEIS to review and simulate this battle. It would restore the initial deployment of both sides. However, a series of random events would still occur during the war because of the system's calculations, making each review different.
Under such circumstances, Qin Yi could tell that this was a simulation by AEEIS and not a real battle. That was because in reality, these people had already died because of the failure of the initial battle.
The battles that Qin Yi encountered for the first time were also mixed with real and fake battles. According to AEEIS, sometimes he was commanding the army in reality, and sometimes he was commanding the virtual battle.
However, regardless of whether these battles were real or fake, Qin Yi would use 120% of his focus to command. That was because he was already used to treating every unit on the screen as a living person.
It was also because of this mentality that Qin Yi began to rely more and more on the various data given by AEEIS.
That was because Qin Yi realized that data was more reliable than people under most circumstances. If a soldier's morale had already fallen to a freezing point, the outcome would be obvious if he was ordered to carry out an important mission.
Qin Yi began to gradually become numb during this long process.
Apart from the necessary sleep every day, Qin Yi was constantly commanding battle after battle and operating mechanically.
If he succeeded, he would continue to the next battle; if he failed, he would review the battle countless times until he won.
Day after day, in an infinite cycle.
There was no day or night in the command cabin. Only AEEIS accurately calculated the time and let Qin Yi sleep or wake up.
Qin Yi did not remember how many times he had slept or how many days had passed. That was because the final battle could arrive at any time. He had to make the best use of his time to prepare.
Finally, one day, Qin Yi was woken up by AEEIS in his sleep.
Qin Yi saw the overwhelming swarm of insects reorganizing on the holographic images around him. They were entering and exiting the nest densely. The human stronghold on the planet and the starships floating in the starry sky were already on standby.
The current situation was self-evident. A new round of large-scale battles was about to begin.
This battle could last for a long time, or it could collapse and end quickly because of a trivial mistake.
Qin Yi walked towards the control panel. When this day really arrived, he felt unprecedentedly calm.
