Chapter 1173: Is This The Mysterious Tengda?
On the other hand, Pei Qian hoped that all gamers would be so short-sighted. They would want to take down all the games at half price. If that happened, the gaming platform would probably die. It would really become exposed.
However, it was a pity that such a good thing was obviously unlikely to happen. That was unless the players on this platform were all sloppy. They could only see the small benefits in front of them. They could not see the future downloadable content update, version adjustments, and discount sales. They were also not considered by other players at all.
It was conceivable that this system would not have much impact on truly outstanding games.
That could not be helped. Outstanding games would be popular everywhere. Pei Qian could not find a suitable reason to get rid of these games.
This mechanism was mainly to get rid of inferior games and accidentally injure ordinary games.
No matter how trashy a game was, there would always be some players who would buy it. That would also generate income. The more games that were taken off the shelves, the less money they would earn.
On top of that, this was a small and unknown rubbish platform in the beginning. It was black-hearted fifty-fifty chance. They should only be able to accept rubbish games.
Thus, most games would be taken down by gamers crazily. After that, the platform would not be able to earn a single cent. Wouldn’t that be perfect?
It would be even more perfect if gamers were really like caterpillars, crazily taking down the game for the 50% discount to make the platform cool faster!
Tang Yishu kept her laptop. “Senior, I’ve noted everything down.”
Pei Qian nodded. He trusted Little Tang very much.
He was very a.s.sured in terms of being obedient and bringing the gaming platform to collapse.
“Have you asked anyone to be in charge of the gaming platform with you?” Pei Qian asked.
Tang Yishu had obviously thought about it. “I want Big Sister Yada to come with me!”
Pei Qian: “?”
Good lord, are you waiting for me here?
Li Yada was also one of the chief designers of Tengda Games. She had retired from the industry for a long time after transferring to Hu Xianbin.
Bring Li Yada to be the person-in-charge of the games platform?
No wonder Little Tang said that he could find someone to take over if he could not do it. It was all planned!
That made things difficult for Pei Qian.
However, on further thought, he had already agreed to it previously. If he did not agree now, Little Tang might not go either.
What’s more, on the surface, it looked like Li Yada was retreating and slacking. Who knew if she was not lurking in Tengda Games, secretly causing trouble?
He would transfer her away from the games department and help Little Tang with the games platform. It might be disadvantageous for the games platform but it was good news for Tengda Games.
Li Yada had the least presence among all of Tengda’s previous chief planners. Very few people outside of the company knew her. In fact, not many people in the other departments even knew her.
Tengda was developing too quickly after all. After Li Yada ‘abdicated’, Tengda Corporation expanded rapidly and recruited a large number of new people.
He did not have to worry about revealing the relations.h.i.+p between Dawn Games and Tengda.
No matter how he thought about it, it did not seem unacceptable.
Of course, there was a prerequisite for everything: Little Tang had to decide on the gaming platform.
Pei Qian nodded in the end. “Alright, but I have a request: You cannot ask Li Yada every single thing. She is only going to help you out. In a month or two, when the games platform is on the right track and you can officially take over, she will come back.”
Tang Yishu nodded lightly. “Alright, Senior.”
She thought about going for a month or two to see how things were going. If she really could not do this job, she would think about it.
…
Ten minutes later, Tang Yishu came upstairs and called Li Yada into the conference room.
Then, he told her about the newly established company and the establishment of the morning sun gaming platform.
Li Yada adjusted her thick spectacles, looking shocked.
“If you want to create a gaming platform, you have to completely separate yourself from Tengda?”
Putting aside the fact that Little Tang was the person-in-charge and had been named to help, just the gaming platform itself made Li Yada feel that it was ridiculous.
In her opinion, it was only natural for Tengda to want to create a gaming platform.
There were so many universally accepted good games and a large number of extremely loyal players. They could make money by lying down on the gaming platform. They should have done it long ago!
However, the problem was, what was the logic of cutting ties with Tengda since they were going to create a gaming platform?
That way, Tengda’s reputation, gamers’ resources, and games would all be useless. This gaming platform would basically start from scratch. Apart from money, there would be nothing.
Of course, he needed money to create a games platform. However, money alone was far from enough.
He could have played a simple mode, but he had to make it h.e.l.lish. What was he trying to achieve?
There was another point that was very suspicious.
Creating a new company for the games platform would be funded by Dream Realization Ventures. However, it would not be Tengda’s fully-funded subsidiary. Instead, it would only take up 70% of the shares. The other 30% would be distributed to all the core members and veteran employees.
Of course, Li Yada had a share in those shares.
Before the company developed, shares were basically useless and could not be made into cash. However, that was still shares after all.
All in all, Li Yada felt that this was a little strange. It was not like Boss Pei’s previous style of developing new industries.
However, if one thought about it carefully, they would feel that this was something Boss Pei would do. After all, Boss Pei had always been unique. If people could easily guess that he was not Boss Pei.
Li Yada tried her best to think but to no avail.
“Did Boss Pei say why he did that?” Li Yada asked.
Tang Yishu shook her head. “No, Senior only said that I will understand in the future.”
Indeed, this was Boss Pei’s usual style.
After some consideration, Li Yada nodded. “Alright, I’ll go with you.”
“The reason why I stepped down as the person-in-charge previously was mainly because I felt that the gaming department was filled with talents and did not need me anymore.”
“However, since it is of use to me now, I will definitely not s.h.i.+rk my duty!”
Tang Yishu was elated. “That’s great, Sister Yada. I can relax with you around!”
Li Yada smiled. “Don’t celebrate too early. I will strictly follow Boss Pei’s instructions. I will only a.s.sist you and not give you more ideas.”
“Boss Pei must have his reasons for choosing you as the person-in-charge. It must be because you have some merits that we don’t have.”
“Therefore, if you encounter any problems, you have to think independently. Don’t rely on the inherent experience of us old employees. That might go against Boss Pei’s expectations.”
“Ah…” Tang Yishu was a little disappointed.” But I don’t know anything. ”
Li Yada said, “When I was the person-in-charge of the games department, I knew nothing. That’s normal.”
“Now that I think about it, it might be because I didn’t know anything that I did well. Now that I’m the person-in-charge, I’m worried about gains and losses. I don’t have that kind of drive anymore.”
“Trust me, since Boss Pei said that you can, you definitely can.”
Tang Yishu nodded reluctantly. “…Alright.”
Initially, he had thought that with Li Yada around, he would be able to do nothing.
From the looks of it now, things were not that simple.
However, Li Yada’s words gave her some confidence.
Tang Yishu had also partic.i.p.ated in a lot of work in Tengda for more than a year. Tengda’s colleagues were very good people. She was no longer as autistic and introverted as before.
Tang Yishu felt that she had been taken care of ever since she joined Tengda. However, she had only been clearing sh*t and doing meetings. The contributions she had made did not match the intern salary she had received.
It would not be bad if he could really make this gaming platform good and share Tengda’s worries.
“Alright, you don’t have to worry about the gaming platform. I’ll help you with the preparatory work.”
“As the person-in-charge, you don’t have to interfere in these things. Your main job is to figure out Boss Pei’s intentions.”
“Once you figure it out, you won’t be far from success.”
Tang Yishu nodded. “Alright, alright.”
“Go back and wait for my news. I’ll hand over the work here. We’ll contact each other over the phone.”
After sending Tang Yishu off, Li Yada returned to her desk and fell into deep thought.
After that, she called Hu Xianbin, who had already gone overseas. After a simple chat, she called the author of Eternal Reincarnation and asked him to come to Tengda Games.
Yu Fei had always been in Jingzhou, working hard at the inspiration cla.s.s to modify the content of Eternal Reincarnation. He had come to Tengda Games a few times and exchanged some details of the game with the person-in-charge of Tengda Games. He was more familiar with it.
Yu Fei arrived half an hour later.
Li Yada followed him to the conference room.
“What’s wrong, Big Sister Li? Is there a problem with the game plot that needs to be modified?” Yu Fei asked.
Li Yada shook her head. “It’s not the plot.”
“I called you here this time mainly to ask you for a favor. Of course, I’ll talk to the finance department about the salary. It’s the daily settlement.”
Yu Fei smiled. “Sister Li, what are you talking about? If you need help, I won’t hesitate. Why are you talking about money?”
“Just tell me what help you need.”
Li Yada paused. “You’ll be the chief planner for two months.”
Yu Fei almost thought that he had heard wrongly. “Huh?”
“Chief planner? What chief planner?”
Li Yada answered, “Of course, the chief planner of Tengda Games. Are there other chief planners?”
Yu Fei pointed at himself. “Me?”
“I’ll be the chief planner?”
“I know nothing about game design! How can I be the chief planner!”
Yu Fei was shocked. If he had not known Li Yada for a long time, he would have thought that she was joking with him.
Game design was a very professional job!
Yu Fei felt that he was just an ordinary author. He was lucky to be selected by Boss Pei when he wrote this book. How could he be the chief planner?
Li Yada explained, “I’m just here to take over temporarily.”
Yu Fei shook his head like a rattle drum. “I can’t even take over the s.h.i.+fts!”
“Big Sister Li, you cannot joke about this! It’s very serious!”
Li Yada nodded. “I’m very serious!”
“Look, this is the situation.”
“Hu Xianbin was originally in charge of Eternal Reincarnation, but he obtained second place for the outstanding employee and went on a holiday. He left in a hurry, so he entrusted this matter to me.”
Yu Fei nodded. This was very reasonable.
After all, Li Yada was the chief designer of Repent and be Saved. It was only natural that Hu Xianbin would hand over the job to her.
Li Yada continued, “However, I just received an appointment to be transferred to another department. The work here is also very important.”
“Therefore, I’ve communicated with Hu Xianbin. You’ll keep an eye on the Eternal Reincarnation project until Hu Xianbin returns. There shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
“Actually, it’s not that difficult. The design plan has been done. Everyone knows what to do. You don’t have to rush us. You just have to make a decision when you encounter problems.”
“If you really can’t decide, just give me or Hu Xianbin a call.”
Yu Fei had nothing to say.
Every step sounded reasonable, but what was it like to make an online author the chief planner?
What’s more, he was the most awesome chief planner in the industry. It was ridiculous!
“Then… Can Boss Pei agree to this?” Yu Fei asked.
Li Yada pondered for a moment and said, “There shouldn’t be a problem, right? Boss Pei has never been one to make use of his employees. Perhaps he would be quite happy.”
“How about this? I’ll give Boss Pei a call.”
Li Yada whipped out her cell phone and reported the situation to Boss Pei.
Soon, she hung up. “See, I told you that Boss Pei would definitely agree. What’s more, he’s very supportive!”
Yu Fei:”…”
Was this the mysterious Tengda?
The project was still being developed. The chief planner had gone on a holiday and found an online author to take over. That was ridiculous!
However, what was there to say since Boss Pei had agreed?
Yu Fei was also very excited to be the chief planner.
“Alright, then. I’ll take over for a month. I’ll do my best.”
