At that moment, Pei Qian had just woken up. After washing up, he was playing games in front of his big television.
Today was the long-awaited weekend. It was time to have a good rest after working hard for a week. What's more, there were no particularly big threats to deal with recently. All the work was progressing in an orderly manner. There was a high chance of incurring losses this cycle.
His cell phone rang just as he was immersed in the game.
He picked it up and saw that it was Wu Yue.
Pei Qian instinctively resisted.
That was because he really did not know how to deal with FV Club!
This thing was a hot potato now. He could not throw it away or continue holding it in his hand.
In fact, Pei Qian's idea when he first invested in the entire FV Club was very simple. He wanted to find another way to incur losses. Especially when he sent these people to competitions and travel at public expense. Spending a few million yuan in one go made Pei Qian extremely happy.
In the end, he did not expect to win the championship for no reason. He had earned back all those millions of yuan with interest!
That made Pei Qian very uncomfortable.
The problem now was that Pei Qian would definitely make a huge profit if he sold the club's shares. That was because FV Club's reputation had increased rapidly after winning the championship, and its valuation had also risen.
Selling it now meant that Pei Qian would get a huge sum of money that he did not know how to spend. It would easily disrupt his overall plan for this cycle.
However, if he did not sell it, this club would have an endless stream of money for him. That would be very uncomfortable.
Pei Qian picked up the phone after hesitating for a moment.
He had no choice. There were some things that he had to face no matter how unwilling he was.
"Boss Pei! I think there's a need to report to you about the situation with FV Club. Zhao Xuming called me just now and said two things … "
"What do you think I should do?"
"Refuse to cooperate? Pretend to agree but oppose? Or … cooperate? "
Wu Yue felt that Boss Pei would most likely ask him to choose the first two.
That was because GOG and IOI were competitors. Tengda Corporation and Finger Games also had some grudges. Boss Pei had no reason to use FV Club to increase IOI's popularity, be it out of personal grudges or interests.
Of course, it was unlikely that he would refuse to cooperate. Boss Pei would most likely ask him to cooperate on the surface, but in reality, he would do something behind his back to suppress IOI's popularity.
This time, Eric became the person-in-charge of the China region again. The new official burned three fires first: lowering the price to fight a price war, preparing to develop the mobile version of IOI, and organizing the ICL league. Obviously, he was aggressive.
In Wu Yue's opinion, Eric's three strategies would put a lot of pressure on GOG.
Although GOG was huge and had a stable position in the local server, once the offensive and defensive positions changed, it would be hard to predict what would happen in the future.
Even if the other party had once been defeated by him, he still had to muster 100% of his strength to deal with him. Otherwise, his arrogance might very well lead to failure.
As the person-in-charge of the club that Boss Pei had invested in, Wu Yue was already prepared to sacrifice FV Club under certain conditions.
What Wu Yue did not know was that Boss Pei was looking ecstatic on the other end of the line.
Not bad! Eric did a good job as the person in charge of the Huaxia region!
Look at the things he did after he took office. They were all very reliable! Now that Zhao Xuming had come to look for Wu Yue, it was obvious that he wanted to repair his relationship with FV Club. He wanted to use the influence of FV, the champion team, on domestic players to publicize and attract a wave of players to IOI's local server, which already had very few players.
It had to be said that IOI's local server was indeed the pain in Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation's hearts. Their competitive standards were not high because there were few players. What's more, the version was often behind other countries. Thus, many professional players, including FV Team, hung accelerators and went to the foreign server to train with high delays.
This time, be it custom-made champion skins for FV Club or the ICL league, it could have a very good drainage effect and inject some fresh blood into IOI's local server.
Of course, Pei Qian supported such actions with both hands!
Pei Qian was not worried at all about the threat IOI might pose to GOG. Instead, he hoped that IOI would be stronger so that it would be more logical for him to burn money.
At that thought, Pei Qian immediately said, "You have to fully cooperate with Long Yu Corporation's requests! Make this champion's skin beautiful and help them publicize it. As for ICL's publicity, you have to do your best to cooperate. The cooler and more influential it is, the better! "
Wu Yue: "Huh?"
He was momentarily stunned.
Wasn't that funding the enemy?
Wu Yue was not sure. He said doubtfully, "Boss Pei, that would also bring huge popularity to IOI and pose a threat to GOG!"
"FV Club might be playing IOI, but we are obviously on your side, Boss Pei. As long as you give the order, we will immediately switch to GOG!"
Pei Qian was shocked. Switch to GOG?
Stop fooling around!
I don't want DGE's tragedy to repeat itself!
Pei Qian's tone became serious. "Don't think blindly!"
"Of course, I have my reasons for asking you to fully cooperate with Long Yu Corporation's publicity plan. You will understand in the future."
"What's more, FV Club is also my favorite. You have won the world championship, so you should receive such publicity and preferential treatment. Now that Long Yu Corporation is willing to fork out this money, you deserve it. Why not? "
Wu Yue remained silent for a moment and said, touched, "Thank you, Boss Pei. I understand! I will definitely get my team members to train harder and continue to achieve good results. I will not let Boss Pei down! "
Pei Qian was confused after hanging up.
？
Why was Wu Yue so touched?
…
On the other side, Wu Yue hung up the phone. He felt that his goal was clearer than ever.
Since Boss Pei had spoken, he would do as Boss Pei said and fully cooperate with Long Yu Corporation's publicity activities!
Wu Yue understood Boss Pei's meaning.
On one hand, cooperating with Long Yu Corporation's publicity was in line with Boss Pei's plan for the business competition between both parties. On the other hand, it was also out of concern for FV Club.
Obviously, Boss Pei did not treat FV Club purely as a money-making tool. He did not treat it as his own accessory. Instead, he respected the dreams of every member of FV Club and treated everyone as friends!
Wu Yue immediately headed to the training room to tell his team members about the champion skin and the ICL league.
…
…
February 20th, Monday afternoon.
The crew members of Mission and Choice came to the nameless restaurant for their second meal.
This time, it was the real 'farewell meal'.
After this meal, everyone would go their separate ways and get busy with their own matters.
The editing and post-production of 'Mission and Choice' had to continue. Time was tight and the task was heavy. Director Zhu Xiaoce had to bring a group of people to film a documentary for the Cold-Faced Lady on the roadside vendors. Lu Zhiyao had to leave Jingzhou. Celebrities like him had a very full schedule.
In fact, Zhu Xiaoce, Lu Zhiyao, and the others could choose to leave last week, but they chose to stay mainly because they could not bear to part with this meal.
It was not a common reward to be able to have a meal in the nameless restaurant. It might only happen once a year. Of course, they could not miss it!
Everyone stuffed themselves with food as they chatted.
Lu Zhiyao said regretfully, "Boss Pei didn't come today. It's a pity that I can't meet him for the last time."
Zhu Xiaoce could not help but be amused. "What are you saying? Why is it the last time? Didn't we just meet last week? What's more, the movie will be released in a month. You and Boss Pei will definitely have a chance to meet then. "
Lu Zhiyao nodded. "Yes, I just want to thank Boss Pei in person. He invested a few hundred million yuan in a movie, but it's all my one-man show. He's really flattering me! It's hard to express my gratitude with words. "
Zhu Xiaoce said, "There's no need for that. You acted very well. It's a win-win situation."
"However, it's a pity that Boss Pei didn't come. I wanted to tell him about the Cold-Faced Lady's documentary today, but since Boss Pei didn't come … forget it."
"Perhaps he already knows about this."
Huang Sibo nodded. "Yes, Boss Pei is busy with work. There's no need to waste his time on such a small matter."
"I wonder what Tengda's business Boss Pei is busy with now?"
…
At the same time, in the office area of Sloth Apartments …
Pei Qian was listening to the Manage Loss Trainee report on the current operations of Sloth Apartments when he suddenly felt his nose itch. He wanted to sneeze. He rubbed it and held back the sneeze.
As for why the Manage Loss Trainee was reporting and not Liang Qingfan …
That was because Liang Qingfan was not around. He had gone to Egypt with Bao Xu and would only be back in the middle of next month.
However, the Manage Loss Trainee knew the business of Sloth Apartments like the back of his hand, so it was not affected at all.
So far, Sloth Apartments had developed 1.0's' Focus Mode 'and 2.0's' Livable Mode '. All of them had been a huge success, and all the apartments were filled with tenants.
In addition, Sloth Apartments had naturally derived other profit models, such as working with furniture manufacturers to customize furniture, working with real estate developers to customize model rooms, and so on.
It could be said that Sloth Apartments' model was a huge success among young people.
However, this did not affect Pei Qian from using Sloth Apartments to burn System Funds.
That was because of the special rules of the System when calculating funds. Pei Qian would only be included in fixed assets if he spent a lot of money on buildings. Thus, as long as Pei Qian did not sell these buildings, it would be equivalent to a loss at settlement.
What's more, the quota of System Funds had doubled in this cycle. Pei Qian had gained a lot of room to operate in buying buildings.
He had to prepare for the next stage of buying buildings.
Pei Qian said to the Manage Loss Trainee, "I'll briefly explain the next stage of the plan. You can start studying it first and make specific plans when Liang Qingfan returns."
"This time, Sloth Apartments is leaving Jingzhou and heading to super-first-tier cities. You guys investigate and buy a building in the remote areas of Beijing and Shanghai. "
Pei Qian had already done some simple research on the relevant policies.
At the moment, Beijing and Shanghai did not have strict purchase restrictions on businesses buying houses. They only had to pay additional taxes, so it was much more expensive than buying a house for individuals. What's more, these properties had to be used for legal operations and taxes according to the law.
Pei Qian had not intended to sell these houses in the first place. He did want to do a rental business, so it was completely in line with the regulations.
Pei Qian had thought it through now. Since Sloth Apartments were all full, it would be the same no matter which house he bought.
As long as he did not buy houses like those in Beijing or Shanghai, it should not be a problem.
Of course, he might not be able to buy an entire house in the city center even if he wanted to. On the other hand, Sloth Apartments' model was that he had to buy an entire building. Otherwise, it would be difficult to carry out unified closed management.
That was because the quota this time was higher. If he bought buildings in Jingzhou or other second-tier cities, he might have to buy a few. It would be more troublesome if there were too many.
He might as well go to Beijing and Shanghai. The total price of the houses was high. He could buy one in each and spend enough System Funds.
