Chapter 1060: Trying To Run After Flirting?

May 24th, Thursday…

At ten in the morning, Pei Qian went to the Fish-Catching Internet Cafe for an early lunch before walking to the office.

He came very early two days ago mainly because he was looking forward to selling the building.

Now that the building was not for sale, he naturally had no motivation to come earlier.

The moment he arrived at the office, he saw the employees taking a lot of snacks and coffee from the water bar. They seemed to have returned to how they were before.

No, they seemed to be taking more than before?

Pei Qian could not help but nod slightly.

Great! That’s my good employees!

The employees might not be able to eat much but it was still a good thing for Boss Pei to see.

Pei Qian should have smiled, but the thought of the huge pressure of spending money made him unhappy.

Thus, he quietly entered his office.

The two employees looked up at Boss Pei’s back and started whispering.

“Has our company’s crisis really pa.s.sed, look at how Boss Pei is?”

“Yes, this is the Boss Pei in the good times. Looking at Boss Pei’s serious expression, the company’s funding problem must have been resolved. We can eat without worry!”

“It was resolved so quickly… I don’t know if it was because this problem was not big to begin with or because Boss Pei was too amazing.”

“It must be because Boss Pei is too amazing! To put it bluntly, the problem of funds is the problem of money. How can it be easy to get money? However, Boss Pei has been sitting in the office for the past few days, and a huge sum of money has immediately entered his account. Players are taking out their money, and the other companies are lending a helping hand. Tengda has resolved the difficulty that is as difficult as ascending to the heavens for others!”

“That’s right, I also heard that this crisis helped Tengda establish a very high prestige! It served to intimidate its compet.i.tors!”

“What do you mean?”

“Tengda has some compet.i.tors in all fields, right? I heard that some companies were actually intending to hit Tengda while it was down when it had problems with its capital chain. However, before these companies could use their underhanded methods, Tengda’s crisis was resolved!”

“Ah, this is just a precaution, right? How can it be to intimidate the opponent?”

“Think about it. Normally, when companies encounter financial problems, they would be badly battered and rob Peter to pay Paul. However, Tengda is facing financial problems? It is light and easy, borrowing strength to fight, and is free and easy! Players are taking out their money, and other companies are lending a helping hand, easily getting rid of them! Would the compet.i.tors dare to fight a price war with Tengda after seeing this?”

“I see! What about Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation?”

“Heh, them? I guess they’re the most shocked. They wanted to kill Tengda when it was weak, but they didn’t expect Boss Pei to resolve it so easily. I think they should stop for a while. At least, they won’t dare to cause trouble in the short term.”

“However, I think that Boss Pei might not let them off. As the saying goes, it’s better to break one finger than to injure ten fingers. Wouldn’t we have to settle this once we recover?”

“I don’t know about that. However, given Boss Pei’s character, he would definitely not let them off easily…”

…

In the office, Pei Qian sneezed.

“Achoo!’

“The air-conditioning is a little too strong…”

Pei Qian silently wrapped the blanket around himself.

It was almost June. The weather in Jingzhou was getting hotter by the day. Thus, there was a lot of air-conditioning in the building.

Everyone had to wear a coat to work in case they caught a cold from the coldness.

The blanket that Pei Qian had not used for the entire winter was put to good use again.

He switched on his computer and checked the official website of Finger Games.

He did not find what he wanted.

He then checked Long Yu Corporation’s official website, as well as the official Weibo accounts of Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation.

In the end, he found nothing!

“What just happened?”

“Shouldn’t Eric be fighting back now?”

“Why is there no movement at all?”

Pei Qian had predicted that Eric would continue burning money after the 515 Games Festival, and continue to pressure Tengda. For this reason, he had specially reserved a portion of the funds to deal with Eric’s burning money plan.

If the enemy does not move, I will not move; if the enemy moves, I will move.

In any case, as long as Eric burned money, Pei Qian would be able to find a way to fool the system… oh, no, a legitimate reason to counterattack. Then, he would be able to create a money-burning plan based on the approximate scale of the other party’s burning money.

However, he did not expect that the other party seemed to be dead. There was no response?

“The efficiency is too low. Shouldn’t you have come up with a new plan during the 515 Games Festival? Why haven’t you done it yet?”

“Wait a while more.”

Pei Qian wrapped himself in a small blanket, leaned back in his chair, and watched a movie. He watched a few more episodes, and finally played some games.

Four hours pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye. It was almost three in the afternoon.

Pei Qian had eaten his breakfast at ten in the morning. Thus, he was not hungry at all. He was prepared to leave at four in the afternoon. Then, he would go to the Fish-Catching Internet Cafe for a meal. That would settle the food for the day.

However, before that, he had to spend an hour to finalize the new money-burning plan. He had to arrange the money he had saved before he could leave.

Nonetheless, when he opened the official website of Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation, as well as the official accounts on Weibo, he was stunned.

There was still no new announcement!

Pei Qian finally realized that something was amiss!

The 515 Game Festival ended yesterday. No matter how inefficient Eric was, he should have a new plan to burn money today, right? Yet, there was still no sign of it until three in the afternoon.

This meant that… Eric would probably not do anything new in the short term.

Pei Qian felt like a pure young man who had been deceived.

“Liar!”

“Didn’t you say that you would burn until you die? Why did you give up after a slight setback?”

“What about my newly earned money?”

Pei Qian was speechless. If Eric stopped burning money, he would be able to continue doing activities and burning money. However, he would definitely be limited.

The System would not bother with ordinary marketing activities, but these activities would most likely make money. On the other hand, the System’s regulation was flexible. The more intense the compet.i.tion in the market, the higher the amount of money allowed by the System.

Pei Qian would not be able to legitimately distribute money if the other party stopped!

At that thought, Pei Qian’s good impression of Eric was greatly diminished.

At first, Eric had wanted to fight a money-burning war. Pei Qian had been elated and had immediately accompanied him. However, he had not expected Eric to suddenly back down in the middle of the game. On the other hand, Pei Qian’s money had been effective. Players had taken out money to support him, and the smart fitness drying rack had also sold very well… After this, not only had he earned money, but he had also earned a reputation!

Then, Pei Qian wanted to spend the money he earned but Eric would not play anymore!

How infuriating.

Pei Qian refreshed the page a few more times before reluctantly accepting the fact that Eric would not fight a money-burning war in the short term.

He had waited for nothing!

Pei Qian instantly felt disinterested. If he had known earlier, he would not have come to the office. Wouldn’t it be nice to sleep comfortably at home?

Of course, Pei Qian did not intend to let Eric off so easily.

Not burning money just like that? How could there be such a beautiful thing in the world!

Pei Qian had already reserved a portion of the money for the publicity and promotion of GOG’s overseas league. Tengda would have more funds in the future. At that time, he would find a suitable time to organize a money-burning event and force Eric to keep up!

Trying to run away after flirting? Not so easy!

Pei Qian was just about to leave the company and go home to sleep when his cell phone rang.

He looked at the caller ID. It was Lin Wan.

“Hm?”

“Could Slow Movement Studio have encountered some difficulties?”

Pei Qian quickly accepted the call.

“Boss Pei, I have something to discuss with you. The research and development work on the VR spectacles is already underway. However, after a few modifications to the plan, I realized that the original research and development budget seemed to be insufficient. Now, if we want to achieve the best performance effect, we have to add more money or reduce the standard of hardware…”

Pei Qian perked up at once.

Not enough money?

That’s great!

This was a timely help!

Pei Qian immediately said, “What are you hesitating for? Increase the funds! How much exactly? Er… wait a moment, I’ll go over now!”

…

Less than half an hour later, Pei Qian arrived at Slow Movement Studio.

This time, he was not only here for money, but also to see how Slow Movement Studio was doing.

The office area that was basically the same as Tengda’s office area, was filled with people. There were not many empty seats left. The employees were all doing their own jobs and working seriously.

Lin Wan introduced them. “Boss Pei, these people were carefully selected by me. Only a small portion of them are Jingzhou locals. Many of them were poached from Guangzhou, Beijing, and Shanghai with their families.

“Do you think everyone’s working att.i.tude is alright? Is there anything that needs to be improved?”

Slow Movement Studio’s first game had been decided on VR directly. What’s more, even though Shenhua Corporation was in charge of the research and development of the VR gla.s.ses, Slow Movement Studio still had to partic.i.p.ate in the design and docking. It had to match the game and equipment to a high level.

Therefore, some core employees in Slow Movement Studio had to have VR-related design experience, or at least have a deeper understanding.

After all, VR games were a different form of game compared to traditional client-side games and mobile games. There were huge differences in the game’s interface layout, operation method, and gameplay.

There were not that many professionals in Jingzhou. That was why Lin Wan sent people to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and other first-tier cities to poach people. That was how she managed to gather her current team.

Many of them had not been willing to change cities at first, but Slow Movement Studio had offered them very high remuneration and given them a lot of subsidies. In addition, Tengda Corporation had been operating for the past few years, making Jingzhou a sacred place in the hearts of many working people. That was why they had been able to successfully poach them.

Pei Qian scanned the office. “If I have to pick an area to improve on… I think everyone is eating too few snacks.
