January 31st, Tuesday …
It was the second day of work after the Chinese New Year holiday.
As the 'culprit', Pei Qian knew nothing about the storm that was happening in Los Angeles on the other side of the ocean. At that moment, all he could think about was the system settlement for this cycle.
At that moment, he was in his office, checking on the spending situation during the Chinese New Year holiday.
There might have been many accidents in the last cycle but the overall control of funds was not bad.
Mission and Choice had absorbed a huge amount of funds. In addition to the promotional activities and preferential activities in various cities during the Chinese New Year period, the System Funds were almost depleted.
Physical industries such as takeaways, internet cafes, gyms, and logistics were also opening branches, helping Pei Qian to reduce a lot of pressure.
In addition, the Useful App that he had been developing had also been successfully released a week before settlement. However, this app only had the content of poems at the moment. What's more, there was no time to do any publicity, so it did not cause too much of a reaction.
Pei Qian was very satisfied with this. He felt that this was the most successful project of this cycle and should continue to develop it.
As for the other projects, Pei Qian knew very well that the price of spending money this month was to transfer the risk of profits to the next cycle even though there were profits and losses.
For example, Mission and Choice had a huge sum of development funds. For example, the advertisements in various industries were everywhere, greatly increasing their popularity. For example, Dream Realization Ventures's operations around the Cold-Faced Lady had caused those entrepreneurs with ill intentions to stay away …
All of these had buried quite a lot of hidden dangers for the future.
However, to Pei Qian, it was fine as long as this cycle passed safely. He could think of new ways to spend money in the next cycle.
The system screen automatically appeared in front of Pei Qian.
Wealth Conversion System 2.0
Owner: Pei Qian
Profit Conversion Ratio 1000: 1. Loss Conversion Ratio 10: 1
Settlement is about to be …
Fixed Assets Value Reestimated …
System Funds: 5.76 million + 16.32 million (↓ 8.92 million)
Fixed Assets: 163.22 million]
[Details: One commercial villa in Ming Yun Villas (9.2 million), 12 households in Dawn of Prosperous City Building 1 (41.28 million), 77 households in Shundong Garden Commercial Residential Building (22.89 million), 16 households in Binhu District Building 8 (12.9 million), 16 households in Binhu District Building 9 (12.95 million), 30 households in Golden Residence Huating District Building 5 (64 million)]
Pei Qian could not help but heave a sigh of relief when he saw the figures in the System Funds.
His heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was finally at ease!
Although this number was higher than he had expected, it was still acceptable.
After careful observation, one would find that the value of fixed assets was fluctuating. For example, the value of the residential-commercial building had dropped by hundreds of thousands, while the value of the residential building had more or less increased.
Now, it seemed like the Golden Residence's Huating District, which was the Sloth Apartments 2.0 model, was not much different from what Pei Qian had expected. That was because the property prices were relatively high to begin with. Thus, there was not much of an obvious increase in the settlement this time.
All in all, the amount of fixed assets was still within an acceptable range.
However, Pei Qian could not help but feel emotional. Unknowingly, the fixed assets in his hands — no, in Tengda's hands were worth 160 million yuan.
Although it had brought a burden of 16 million yuan to the System Funds, it also meant that Pei Qian had spent more than 100 million yuan on the property. It was still very worth it.
Without these fixed assets, Pei Qian really did not know where to spend the money.
What's more, most of the money was used to build Sloth Apartments, which solved the problem of renting housing for many people. It was considered a good deed.
That gave Pei Qian a sense of accomplishment.
The system screen continued to scroll.
Pei Qian finally relaxed when he saw that the System Funds had been converted into Personal Wealth.
"Alright, I converted more than 900,000 yuan. It might be tens of thousands less than the previous cycle, but this cycle only lasts for four months after all. What's more, there are no special missions that can reduce the System Funds. It's already very good to be able to convert so much money."
"There are also some daily expenses. Coupled with the skin money and other miscellaneous income, it's not obvious with the total amount of Personal Wealth now."
"More than three million yuan, ah … Personal Wealth has reached a new peak. At this rate, it shouldn't be a problem to save up for a villa in another year or two, right?"
"However, why do I still feel a little bitter looking at the figures of the System Funds and fixed assets …"
Pei Qian felt a little melancholy when he thought about how he could earn tens of millions of yuan as the boss of Tengda Corporation. The company's fixed assets had reached 160 million yuan and there were several buildings. However, he had to save up for so long to buy a villa.
However, he quickly got over it.
"It's fine. As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. I've already passed the beginning stage."
"I used to earn a lot before, but now, I can steadily incur losses. I can convert eight to nine hundred thousand yuan of Personal Wealth every time. This means that I've already understood the System's temper. I've already mastered the art of spending money."
"In the future, the more System Funds there will be, the more losses there will be. The money converted will definitely be more and more!"
Pei Qian was filled with confidence once again. He clicked to receive the reward for this cycle.
The so-called 'mysterious reward' of the previous cycle was a random technological breakthrough in the next six months. From the looks of it, it should be a breakthrough in artificial intelligence technology of Xunke Technologies.
If not for this technological breakthrough, the Fully-Automated Intelligent Bickering Machine would not have earned so much money. The new system of Otto Technologies would not have been so well received. It could be said that it had created a certain difficulty for Pei Qian.
However, on the bright side, the impact of this technological breakthrough was not that big.
If global games entered the VR era, communication technology advanced by leaps and bounds, and mobile games achieved unprecedented development, it might cause even greater difficulties for Pei Qian.
Thus, he had to be content.
This reward did not make Pei Qian lose much money, but at least he did not make a huge profit. He should be satisfied.
Pei Qian could rest easy and not worry too much if the technological breakthroughs in the future were only at this level.
However, he did not know what the mysterious reward would be this time.
[Mysterious Reward (Upgraded): You can consume a certain amount of Personal Wealth to increase the profit margin of a certain industry. The ratio is 1: 100. This reward is a permanent option, but it can only be used once per cycle. The consumption of Personal Wealth cannot exceed 100,000 yuan each time.]
Pei Qian: "?"
He took a closer look at the description of the reward.
Simply put, Pei Qian could consume a certain amount of Personal Wealth to increase the profit margin of a certain industry to consumers.
At the moment, most of the industries in Pei Qian's hands could be sold to consumers through promotional activities. For example, during 1024 Digital Day, ROF Computer-Installation could be promoted at a low price.
Similarly, Fish-Catching Take-Out, Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, and other industries could also use promotions to increase their market share to give profits to consumers.
However, there was a limit to such a profit margin. The System would conduct dynamic monitoring, and Pei Qian could not sell at a loss indefinitely.
This new reward rule was equivalent to adding a permanent option. Pei Qian could spend ten thousand yuan from his own pocket to let a certain industry burn an additional one million yuan to give profits to consumers.
Pei Qian could not help but be overjoyed. "Eh? That's good!
"Wouldn't it be easier to spend money this way?"
This rule obviously had to be used when he was already incurring losses. If he used it when he was profiting, he would be out of his mind.
Take this settlement for example. Although he had successfully incurred losses, he still had more than five million yuan left in the System Funds. Pei Qian only had to fork out another fifty thousand yuan from his own pocket to return the remaining five million yuan to consumers. That would create a loss of more than five million yuan. In fact, he would earn another five hundred thousand yuan at settlement.
That would be equivalent to using fifty thousand yuan to earn five hundred thousand yuan of Personal Wealth.
Even a primary school student could calculate that this was a pure profit!
Of course, the System had restrictions on this. It could only be used once per cycle, and it could not exceed a hundred thousand yuan. That meant that he could only give an additional ten million yuan to consumers through this method.
Of course, Pei Qian did not know if this amount would change in the future, but at least it was enough for now.
The System screen continued to scroll.
[Current incomplete project: 'Mission and Choice' project. The game must be released and the movie must be released before the next settlement.]
"Alright, the next cycle will make me feel smug again!" Pei Qian felt that he had become strong-willed again.
The next settlement would be six months later, on July 31st, 2012. That was plenty of time for Pei Qian.
The game 'Mission and Choice' had to be released and the movie had to be released during this cycle. However, that also meant that Pei Qian could open a new pit and delay the release of the product until the next cycle.
In any case, he would not have to worry about not being able to spend all the money as long as the business was big enough.
Pei Qian had already roughly thought of what to do with the next delayed project: start a new project for Thriller Hostel!
As the saying went, spectacles mislead the country.
Ever since the 'Silent Minimalist Philosophy Bickering Machine, Haunted House, Flying Car, and Pendulum Hammer' became popular, Thriller Hostel and Tengda's many physical businesses in Jingzhou had also become popular.
Many people who came to Jingzhou to play would go to Thriller Hostel to experience it.
However, even so, Thriller Hostel would not be able to earn back its investment in a short period of time because of its huge investment. What's more, half a year had passed. Those who were interested had all gone to experience it. The popularity of Thriller Hostel had slowly decreased.
Since it was not that popular anymore, he could start a new project and spend tens of millions of yuan!
Apart from that, Pei Qian had his own arrangements for the other businesses.
All in all, the initial System Funds for this cycle had reached an unprecedented 50 million yuan. Pei Qian could use this opportunity to do something big!
