Returning to his rented apartment, Pei Qian changed into his home clothes, curled up on the sofa, and enjoyed the afternoon sunlight, feeling indescribably comfortable.

In the past, while working, he had always wanted to experience the feeling of abruptly declaring a holiday, and now he finally had!

Unfortunately, he couldn’t experience this kind of thing too often, otherwise the system would determine it as a violation.

Taking a can of ice-cold cola from the refrigerator and taking a couple of sips, Pei Qian began to consider his plans.

The spending plan for this period had been progressing quite smoothly.

Renting office space, hiring employees, purchasing office supplies, and so on—these operations had indeed spent a considerable amount of system funds.

Moreover, these fixed expenditures were a burden every month, allowing for continuous spending.

This made Pei Qian feel very secure!

From the perspective of accelerating spending, Pei Qian had achieved his goal.

However, the company still needed to operate normally; the system stipulated that negative work attitudes were not allowed.

With more employees, Pei Qian faced a new problem.

He had to choose a wrong direction, allowing the company to naturally lose money, without letting employees immediately see that he was doing it deliberately!

“This is quite challenging…”

Pei Qian considered it briefly.

The key was to choose the right game type.

Mobile games were absolutely off the table; they were a huge trap!

Drawing lessons from “Ghost General,” Pei Qian deeply recognized that, benefiting from the wave of smartphone popularization, the mobile game field was currently in a boom period.

Even if they made a pig, it might still fly in such favorable winds!

That being the case, they should make PC games!

The current PC game market should be considered in decline, constantly going downhill.

Currently on the market was the comprehensive MMORPG game “Fantasy World,” roughly similar to WoW from his previous life.

If he wanted to fail, directly competing with “Fantasy World” would be a good choice.

But Pei Qian reconsidered—that wasn’t appropriate, there was still risk.

What if they ended up creating something like “Jian Wang 3”? Wouldn’t that be awkward?

The key was that MMORPG games had relatively fixed gameplay. Even with a perfect-score “Fantasy World” in existence, making a 90-point MMORPG game would still attract players.

It wasn’t particularly foolproof!

What kind of game would have a 99% chance of failure when competing?

Compete with “Divine Awakening”?

Absolutely not!

What if they created something like “League of Legends”? That would be a disaster!

Regarding what kind of game could lose money, Pei Qian actually couldn’t be certain and could only screen based on experiences from his previous life.

Games that had successful cases in his previous life should be avoided as much as possible!

After much consideration, Pei Qian finally thought of a good type.

This type currently has an extremely successful game on the market.

No matter how hard his employees worked to create it, the game Pei Qian developed would not compare to this game in terms of experience!

In his previous life, although there was also a successful case in this field, its success was mainly due to the broader environment.

In this parallel world, the broader environment had already undergone tremendous changes!

Pei Qian felt this was a very good choice!

Adding some modifications that would inevitably fail, this money-losing venture would surely be foolproof!

The more Pei Qian thought about it, the more beautiful it seemed, considering all aspects.

The only remaining problem was that he needed to slightly mislead these employees (slackers) he had hired.

Of course, there was no issue with not misleading them. Pei Qian was the boss; employees had to do whatever he said. He at least had that authority.

But Pei Qian was a reasonable person.

Forcing these employees to make games they didn’t believe in posed two risks: one was that many people would slack off, preventing the game from being completed or passing review, which would constitute negative work and trigger a violation.

The other was that employees might suspect Pei Qian was deliberately sabotaging the project, which could also trigger a violation.

Therefore, to be safe, Pei Qian still needed to unify their thinking, get these people to complete their work, and he only needed to slightly nudge key decisions, completely derailing the entire development direction!

……

Tuesday.

Tenda Network Technology Co., Ltd., conference room.

Huang Sibo and others all sat neatly, looking at Pei Qian with anticipation.

Today was November 12th. Yesterday, Monday, was Singles’ Day, but Pei Qian had still ordered everyone to take a forced holiday, making up for another day off.

These three and a half days of holiday made Huang Sibo feel like he was living in heaven!

However, after the holiday, Huang Sibo also became more determined in her belief.

Mr. Pei was a good boss, and he would give his all for him!

Others all had the same attitude.

Such a good boss was extinct!

Everyone is getting a holiday on Singles’ Day—those with partners could accompany their partners, those without could find partners—what kind of spirit was this!

Where could you find such a good boss who cared so much about employees’ lives?

So, after this holiday, most people were well-rested, full of energy, and motivated.

Even Bao Xu’s slightly balding head seemed to radiate a sense of optimism and positivity.

Pei Qian gently coughed twice and looked at everyone present: “The project we’re going to work on next is an FPS game.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Especially Huang Sibo.

He knew that Pei Qian’s previous successful work was “Ghost General,” a card-based mobile game.

Logically, the new project would more likely be a large-scale card-based mobile game, or at least a mobile game.

Suddenly jumping to PC games, and an FPS project at that—this leap was too great, normally, no company would do this!

After all, the entire company had never done it before; wasn’t the risk too great?

Moreover, mobile games should still flourish for a period in the future, being in a boom period. Abandoning this seemed too wasteful?

As if guessing what Huang Sibo wanted to say, Pei Qian continued: “We’re not doing mobile game projects.”

“Tenda’s goal is to become a gaming giant; we can’t let small mobile game projects cloud our eyes. Being content with small gains is not Tenda’s character, nor is it mine!”

“Our Tenda, either we make no sound, or we shock the world!”

When Pei Qian said this, he was righteous and dignified, with an air of a person worth billions, commanding the situation, with everything under control.

Huang Sibo suddenly understood, nodding vigorously.

So that’s how it was!

What a different perspective!

Huang Sibo himself had been thinking about following the routine, ensuring stable profits for the company.

But Mr. Pei’s vision and mindset were completely different!

The eight characters “either make no sound or shock the world” made Huang Sibo’s blood boil!

Look, look, this is the difference in perspective!

His previous company thought daily about how to extract money from players, despicable.

Looking at Tenda, the difference between companies was just this great!

Pei Qian looked at everyone’s reactions, very satisfied.

“Now, for my requirements for this project. This project… Huang Sibo, Bao Xu, you two will take the lead.”

“Bao Xu will be responsible for proposing design concepts, and Huang Sibo, as the executive lead planner, will be responsible for implementation.”

Both Bao Xu and Huang Sibo were shocked, almost thinking they had misheard.

Damn, such important tasks?!

Concept design could be said to be the soul of a game.

And the executive lead planner needed to be responsible for pushing progress and ensuring the game could be successfully made.

The two most important positions in the design group had been casually handed over by Pei Qian!

Bao Xu was still fine, after all, he didn’t understand the structure of game companies that well and didn’t have a clear concept of what kind of heavy responsibility he was bearing.

But Huang Sibo was completely shocked.

An implementation planner, skyrocketing to become an executive lead planner? How is that possible?

This was skipping five or six years of a professional career at once!
