Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 987: “No King Rules Forever”

Pei Qian’s mouth could not help but turn upwards into a smile.

Alright, the plan was a huge success!

He knew very well that Lin Wan was a very headstrong person. Her greatest wish was to prove herself. However, at the same time, Lin Wan liked to give the credit to others.

The combination of these two personalities made Lin Wan determined to stay in Tengda. She could not be chased away even if he wanted to because she really felt that she could learn more if she stayed.

Thus, Pei Qian took advantage of Lin Wan’s personality traits to change her thinking.

Lin Wan was confused. “But Boss Pei, what should I do exactly? How should I walk out of my comfort zone?”

Pei Qian remained silent for a moment and said, “It’s very simple. Leave Shang Yang Games. I have a job that is more suitable for you and can improve your ability.”

“Leaving Shang Yang Games would mean leaving your comfort zone. You would be able to obtain more challenges. On the other hand, Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin would be able to officially take over your job and improve themselves.

“Their positions have not changed for a long time. This is also disadvantageous for their career development.”

“We plan to collaborate with Shenhua Corporation on a strategic partnership to establish a new gaming department. You will be the person-in-charge of this department. You will be in charge of all the development tasks in this department.”

“What’s more, your work is not limited to that. You will be in charge of the staff selection, daily management, development direction, and so on.”

“Only by personally creating a powerful team can you truly obtain the management and control of this team. There would not be a situation where you would collapse after changing teams.”

“Once you leave the comfort zone of Shang Yang Games, you will be able to face the real challenge and improve your abilities!

Lin Wan fell silent.

Obviously, when she heard about Shenhua’s games department, she still felt a little repulsed.

However, Boss Pei’s words made so much sense!

On one hand, Tengda’s employees were being transferred and promoted frequently. Lin Wan had been the person-in-charge of Shang Yang Games for too long. This was not a problem for other companies. However, it had indeed limited Wang Xiaobin and Ye Zhizhou’s development and improvement in Tengda. This made Lin Wan feel a little bad.

On the other hand, if what Boss Pei said was true, Lin Wan should have walked out of her comfort zone and changed her environment to accept new challenges.

If she were to get the Dream Fund and start a business, Lin Wan might not hesitate to agree.

However, being the person-in-charge of Shenhua’s games department... felt like something was amiss.

Pei Qian saw through her concerns and continued, “There’s no need to hold a grudge against Shenhua Corporation.”

“Don’t worry. This company’s name might be Shenhua games department. However, it’s actually jointly funded by Shenhua Corporation and Tengda. You take 40% of the shares, and Shenhua Corporation and Tengda take 30% each.”

“Shenhua Corporation will not take this small amount of money to heart. You don’t have to worry about being controlled. You will have absolute say.”

“You can treat this as a form of training. Tengda will still keep your staff number. If you’re not satisfied with the situation there in the future, you can come back anytime.”

The last few sentences were purely a bluff. So what if he kept his work number and came back?

At that time, Wang Xiaobin or Ye Zhizhou would take over Shang Yang Games. Would Lin Wan have the cheek to take over and interfere with their projects? Lin Wan would definitely not do something like that.

What’s more, given Lin Wan’s character, she would probably persevere no matter whether the project succeeded or failed.

Indeed, Pei Qian’s final words had more or less dispelled Lin Wan’s worries.

She pondered for a long time and finally made up her mind. “Alright, I can give it a try. I hope I can really break through my bottleneck!”

Pei Qian smiled and nodded. “No problem, I trust you!”

Alright, a great success!

Pei Qian could not help but to feel a little inflated.

The value of Old Lin’s family was immeasurable but they could not do anything to Lin Wan. However, didn’t I arrange everything for Lin Wan once I made a move?

I am indeed a genius!

Pei Qian stood up. “In that case, arrange for the handover of work for now. I’ll let you know if there’s any new news.”

...

Pei Qian began to think about the sales team on the way back after making arrangements for Lin Wan.

However, he had no idea how to handle this matter. He had to think about it at length.

It would not be easy to find someone who could accurately understand Pei Qian’s intentions and lead the entire sales team well.

Ding.

Suddenly, there was a notification sound from the cell phone. A notice banner popped up on the cell phone screen: The UP Master that you paid special attention to has been updated. Please don’t miss it!

Pei Qian’s expression changed.

That was because he saw the title of the video.

Fifth episode of Products of the Gods: ‘Mission and Choice’. No king rules forever!

Teacher Qiao was indeed late but he did arrive!

Pei Qian flipped through Qiao Liang’s previous submission records and realized that the Products of the Gods series had already been released for five episodes. It was Tengda Games from the first to the third episode. The fourth episode was an overseas Triple-A masterpiece. The fifth episode had returned to Tengda Games!

Pei Qian did not know whether to be angry or relieved.

Before this, Pei Qian had thought that Qiao Liang had been trying to take advantage of him. He thought that Qiao Liang would be able to produce three consecutive episodes of Products of the Gods. He had never seen anyone achieve God status three times.

In the end, Qiao Liang changed a sheep to symbolically pull it out and then turned back to pull Tengda out. Pei Qian had mixed feelings...

However, Pei Qian was rather calm about this video.

Pei Qian would have been more flustered if he saw Qiao Liang’s video of Products of the Gods previously.

There was not much public opinion on the internet that was because before Qiao Liang released the videos of the previous games. There were at least many voices of doubt not mentioning the sales volume.

On the other hand, Qiao Liang’s Products of the Gods had instantly turned the game’s reputation around. It had made the game’s reputation and sales skyrocket!

Thus, Pei Qian suffered deeply.

However, Pei Qian was much calmer about Mission and Choice.

That was because it was different from the previous few times. There was not much controversy about Mission and Choice this time!

Perhaps it was because ‘Fantasy Battle Remake’ was set off too well, but the comments on the internet were praising ‘Mission and Choice’ very well.

Everyone had already bragged so much. Even if Qiao Liang continued to brag about this video, he would only repeat what everyone had bragged about. Could the situation get worse?

What’s more, Pei Qian began to doubt the content of the video after reading the title.

The title was actually ‘No King Rules Forever’?

Could it be that Teacher Qiao was so very disappointed in this game and thought that Tengda’s success had not been sustained and that Tengda’s reign had ended?

Otherwise, why would he use the title “Mission and Choice, No King Rules Forever”‘?

Pei Qian pressed the play button with that thought in mind.

...

“Greetings, dear daddies. I’m the same old Godfather of Games that you are familiar with. You guys know me as Teacher Qiao.”

“Ever since the previous episode of ‘Trash Games Diss’ was broadcasted, I received a lot of baseless attacks and criticisms. Many people sent me private messages saying, ‘Aiya, Teacher Qiao, your current video is an insanely lousy filler episode. The Trash Games from ten years ago has been overdone yet you are still taking it out to put a video together. How disappointing!’”

“I want to say that you’re wrong about me!”

“Who said I wanted to make a filler video? It was obviously to pave the way for the latest episode of Products of the Gods!”

“Now, I believe all of you have understood my good intentions.”

“Please follow me and compare the past and present lives of the two games. You can also see the changes in the fate of domestic games!”

“Bringing us back to 1997.”

“In that era, there were all sorts of outstanding video games. In the beginning, there was Command and Conquer, followed by Starcraft and Fantasy Battle.

“RTS games are the same as FPS games. They became the two most popular games during the period when computer functions fell behind.”

“A game called ‘Mission and Choice’ has also appeared in China. The overwhelming publicity convinced gamers who passionately support domestically-produced games that it would be our own ‘Command and Conquest’, ‘Star Ocean’ and ‘Battle of Fantasy’.”

“Everyone knows what happened after that.”

“As a result, the domestic and foreign games market walked on two completely different paths. There were all sorts of outstanding Triple-A games overseas, and domestically-produced games could not recover after that.”

“Bringing back the time till now.”

“There were a lot of negative comments after the highly-anticipated ‘Fantasy Battle Remake’ was released. Fantasy Battle Remake, which was once regarded as a classic game in the history of the game, was unable to maintain its integrity. The original version was a masterpiece with a score of 9.3 points. The remake’s rating had already soared all the way to 0.7 points, and it now ranks first in reverse. It added up to exactly 10 points, which made people sigh.”

“What no one expected was that ‘Mission and Choice’, the former disgrace of the domestic games, had been remade.

“This time, ‘Mission and Choice’ is no longer a complete electronic rubbish. Instead, it is an outstanding piece of work that is comparable to all the classic games in the world. There was a flood of good reviews once it was released!”

“We found that they have a magical connection in many aspects when comparing these two games. They cannot represent foreign games and domestically-produced games, but they can allow us to witness the changes in domestically-produced games over the years.”

“There is a very famous line in Fantasy World: No King Rules Forever.”

“The sad thing is that this sentence seemed to have turned out to be true. The respectable games factory that had once produced Starcraft and the Fantasy Battle would one day fall from its pedestal and personally smash its own ‘top quality’ brand.”

“We are also willing to believe that in the near future, Tengda Games will lead domestically-produced games to the top with Mission and Choice and replace them!”
