April 15th, Sunday, 8 AM …
Pei Qian looked at the computer screen blankly. His right hand rolled the mouse wheel stiffly, clicked the mouse, and browsed the webpage page by page.
He did not sleep well last night because the news about 'Mission and Choice' and 'Fantasy Battle Remake' on the internet was overwhelming, giving him a heavy blow.
Pei Qian tossed and turned the entire night. The terrifying comments on the internet lingered in his ears the moment he closed his eyes.
"'Mission and Choice' beats' Fantasy Battle Remake '!"
"The river flows east for thirty years, and then west for thirty years!"
"The shame of the domestic games industry has become the glory of the domestic games industry. I have to buy it all!"
"I'll refund 'Fantasy Battle Remake' and buy 'Mission and Choice'!"
Pei Qian could not accept the fact that he had not slept well the entire night. He knew that he had woken up in the morning.
"How did such a trashy game get remade?"
"It doesn't make sense!"
Others could not figure out why Fantasy Battle Remake could be so trashy, much less Pei Qian!
However, such an outrageous thing had happened. Who could he reason with?
"Ding."
The cell phone on the table rang. Pei Qian picked it up and saw that it was a message from He An.
The Old Master was more healthy and always slept early and woke up early. Obviously, he had just found out about the news of Fantasy Battle Remake not long ago.
He An looked very excited and sent several voice messages in a row.
"Wow, Boss Pei, could it be that you planned for Fantasy Battle Remake to be so trashy?"
"Otherwise, why would you be so confident to release Mission and Choice and Fantasy Battle Remake on the same day?"
"Yes, actually, now that I think about it, there were some signs of the failure of 'Fantasy Battle Remake'. I could tell from some clues previously."
"For example, the few games that have been released in recent years have been deteriorating. They have gradually lost the reputation of 'products must be top-notch'. They appear very arrogant when dealing with players' feedback and always' teaching players to play games' …"
"What's more, Fantasy Battle Remake had always been secretive when it was previously revealed. There was also some negative news."
"It's just that everyone has too much faith in this game. That's why they've ignored these small negative messages and wishfully thought that this game would continue to be a classic …"
"Could it be that Boss Pei, you can judge that 'Fantasy Battle Remake' would fail based on this information alone? What's more, it would be a crushing defeat? Is that why you brought forward the release date of 'Mission and Choice' to this day? "
"Wait, the schedule is so coincidental. Don't tell me you've already thought about the genre and theme from the beginning? Even though the news of the release of 'Fantasy Battle Remake' was only announced last month, all sorts of rumors had already spread. Could it be that you estimated the approximate release time of this game and confirmed the development time of 'Mission and Choice' … "
He An was old, so his typing speed was very slow. However, sending voice messages was still very fast. One message after another quickly filled the screen.
From his tone, one could tell that he was very excited and agitated at the moment.
A domestically-produced game had actually defeated "Fantasy Battle Remake" head-on. What's more, it was a head-on crushing it in all aspects. This was such a proud thing for domestic gamers!
In the era when they were active, this was simply unimaginable!
Of course, the reason why it could be crushed head-on was mainly because 'Fantasy Battle Remake' was too lame. It could be said to be trash among trash. However, no matter what, it was still trash.
What's more, the quality of 'Mission and Choice' was high enough!
He An had originally thought that 'Mission and Choice' would definitely die when it collided with 'Fantasy Battle Remake'. However, he now realized that the other party was the one who died. All the popularity had been sucked away by 'Mission and Choice'!
He An instantly felt that everything was within Boss Pei's plan when he thought about how confident and secretive Boss Pei was previously.
Pei Qian's expression became even more stunned as he listened to He An's voice message.
What are you talking about!
Are you muddle-headed? I was the one who asked you about the game genre and theme. You were the one who decided it!
How did it become part of my plan?
I can take the blame for the success of the game, but choosing the game genre and theme has nothing to do with me!
Pei Qian immediately replied, "How is that possible? Didn't you decide on the game genre, theme, story background, and even some design details?"
He An quickly replied, "Boss Pei, don't be humble. I've recalled the scene at that time. You must have used a special psychological cue, right?"
"You asked me what the coolest game genre was now. At the same time, Tengda had not developed RTS games before. Thus, I subconsciously led my train of thought to the RTS genre!"
"The content after that was similar. Boss Pei, you had already thought about the design details of the game, but you had to say a plan that looked less difficult. You deliberately lured me to say a more difficult plan, but in fact, you had already planned the most difficult plan!"
"Therefore, on the surface, it looks like I've confirmed the framework and many details of 'Mission and Choice', but in fact, I've only confirmed these details under your guidance and psychological cues."
"Otherwise, how could such a successful game be created by just gathering all the failed elements? That doesn't make sense! "
He An spoke very confidently, as if he had completely seen through Pei Qian's despicable thoughts.
However, Pei Qian's mouth opened slightly. He could not explain himself.
"What the f * ck …"
He An's rapid analysis stunned Pei Qian. He could not even think of a way to refute him.
Obviously, He An had already adjusted Pei Qian's level to an infinitely high level in his mind. It was useless no matter how Pei Qian explained.
He An continued, "I might have been made a joke by you again, but I'm still very happy! I didn't expect you to really be able to turn the rotten into the magical. You gathered all these elements that were bound to fail and turned the situation around! "
"I'm really happy that a genius like you can appear in domestically-produced games! Let's not talk anymore. I've already bought the tickets. I'll invite my old friends to play Mission and Choice for the second time today! "
Pei Qian: "…"
He was hopeless.
The movie and game 'Mission and Choice' became popular. Gamers wanted to watch the movie's plot again. Those who had watched the movie wanted to play the game …
The gamers reaped double the happiness and only left Boss Pei with double the pain.
Pei Qian stood up and walked around the living room quickly.
"I can't let this go on. I have to think of a way to remedy it."
"From the looks of the current situation, the game and movie are probably going to become popular. It will take some time for the movie's box office income to arrive, but the game's income will arrive very soon …"
"The money that I spent previously will soon be collected back. I have to think of another way to spend it!"
"However, it seems a little too late to open a new business. There are still three months until settlement. What's more, opening a new business would easily cause more chain reactions and trigger a greater crisis …"
"I can consider setting up a gaming department with Shenhua Corporation. I should be able to spend a sum of money."
"Is there any other way …"
"What department does Tengda lack now?"
Pei Qian walked around again and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"I got it, the sales department!"
"Tengda doesn't have a sales department yet!"
Pei Qian suddenly found a blind spot.
He had always been disdainful of the sales department. That was because a company like Tengda did not intend to sell any products at all. It was too late to hide them. What was the use of the sales department?
However, Pei Qian suddenly thought that setting up a sales department did not necessarily have to promote sales!
He could use the name of the sales department and spend the funds of the sales department, but in reality, he was doing the work of dissuading customers. How good was that!
"I'm a f * cking genius!"
Pei Qian suddenly felt less uncomfortable because he suddenly thought of a very good way to spend money!
