Chapter 985: Start A Sales Division!

April 15th, Sunday 8 AM.

Pei Qian looked at the computer screen blankly, his right hand stiffly rolling the mouse wheel and clicking the mouse as he browsed the web page.

He did not sleep well last night because the news about Mission and Choice and the Fantasy Battle Remake was all over the internet, giving him a very heavy blow.

Pei Qian tossed and turned in bed for the entire night. He heard the terrifying comments online the moment he closed his eyes.

“Mission and Choice beat Fantasy Battle Remake!”

“Life is full of ups and downs!”

“The humiliation of the domestic games has become it’s light. We have to buy it all!”

“I’ll refund ‘Battle of Fantasy’ to buy ‘Mission and Choice’!”

Pei Qian could not accept the fact that he had not slept well the entire night.

“How did such a trashy game be created?”

“That doesn’t make sense at all!”

Others could not figure out why ‘Fantasy Battle Remake’ was so trashy, what more Pei Qian!

However, such a ridiculous thing had happened. Who should he reason with?

Ding.

His cell phone which was on the table rang. Pei Qian picked it up and saw that it was a message from He An.

The old man was more well-nourished. He always slept early and woke up early. Obviously, he had just found out about the news of Fantasy Battle Remake.

He An looked very excited as he sent several voice messages.

“Wow, Boss Pei, could it be that you had foresaw that the ‘Fantasy Battle Remake’ would be so lousy?”

“Otherwise, why would you dare to sell ‘Mission and Choice’ and ‘Fantasy Battle Remake’ on the same day?”

“Yes, actually, now that I think about it, there are some signs of the failure of ‘Fantasy Battle Remake’. I could tell from some clues earlier.”

“For example, the few games that were released in recent years have been deteriorating and have gradually lost the reputation of ‘products must be top-quality’. When dealing with players’ feedback problems, they appear very arrogant and always ‘teaching players how to play games’…”

“What’s more, ‘Fantasy Battle Remake’ always covered up the information before it was released. There was also some negative news.”

“It’s just that everyone trusts this game too much. That’s why they neglected this small negative information. They wishfully thought that this game would continue to be a classic…”

“Could it be that Boss Pei, just based on this information, you can tell that ‘Fantasy Battle Remake’ is likely to fail and that it would be a crushing defeat? Is that why you brought forward the release date of ‘Mission and Choice’ to this day?”

“Wait, the timing is so coincidental. Don’t tell me you’ve already thought about it from the beginning when you decided on the game genre and theme? 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’ve estimated the rough time the game would be released and confirmed the development time for ‘Mission and Choice ‘…”

He An was old and he takes a long time to type but he still sent voice messages very quickly. One message after another quickly filled the screen.

From his tone, one could tell that he was very excited.

A domestically-produced game had actually defeated Fantasy Battle Remake head-on. What’s more, it had crushed it in all aspects. This was something to hold their heads high for domestic gamers!

This was unimaginable in their era!

Of course, the main reason why it could be crushed head-on was mainly because Fantasy Battle Remake did too poorly. It could be said to be trash among trash, but no matter what, it would be crushed.

What’s more, the quality of ‘Mission and Choice’ was very good!

He An had originally thought that Mission and Choice would definitely be done for if they were to clash with Fantasy Battle Remake. However, he now realized that the other party was done for. All of its popularity had been sucked away by Mission and Choice!

He An suddenly felt that everything was within Boss Pei’s plan thinking back to Boss Pei’s confident and secretive manner.

Pei Qian’s expression became even more blank as he listened to He An’s voice message.

What are you talking about!

Are you senile? I was the one who asked you about the genre and theme. You decided it yourself!

How did it become what I planned?

I can take the blame for the success of the game but the choice of genre and theme had nothing to do with me!

Pei Qian immediately replied: “How is that possible? Aren’t you the one who set the game genre, theme, story background, and even some design details?”

He An quickly replied, “Boss Pei, don’t be so humble. I’m recalling the scene back then. You must have used a special psychological suggestion method, right?”

“You asked me what the coolest game genre is now. At the same time, Tengda has not developed RTS games before. Therefore, I subconsciously directed my thoughts to RTS!”

“The content after that is about the same. Boss Pei, you have already thought about the details of the game’s design. However, you insisted on saying a plan that looked relatively easy and deliberately lured me to talk about a more difficult plan. In fact, you have already planned the most difficult plan!”

“Therefore, on the surface, it looks like I have confirmed the framework and many details of ‘Mission and Choice’, but in fact, I only confirmed these details with your guidance and psychological hints.”

“Otherwise, how could they create such a successful game by gathering all the failed elements? That doesn’t make sense!”

He An sounded very confident, as if he had seen through Pei Qian’s despicable intentions.

However, Pei Qian’s mouth was slightly agape. There was no way he could explain himself.

“What the f*ck…”

He An’s continuous analysis stunned Pei Qian. He could not think of anything to refute.

Obviously, He An had adjusted Pei Qian’s level to an unlimited height. 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 think that you would really be able to turn something rotten into something magical. You gathered all the elements that were bound to fail and turned the situation around!”

“I’m genuinely happy that a genius like you has appeared in domestically-produced games! I’ll stop talking. I’ve already bought tickets. Today, I’ll invite my old friends to watch ‘Mission and Choice’ for the second time!”

Pei Qian: “…”

It was hopeless.

‘Mission and Choice’ became popular with the game. Gamers wanted to watch the plot of the movie again. Those who had watched the movie wanted to play the game…

The gamers received double the joy and only left Boss Pei with double the pain.

Pei Qian stood up and walked around the living room twice.

“I can’t let this continue. I have to think of a way to remedy this.”

“From the looks of the current situation, the game and movie are probably going to become popular. The box office earnings of the movie will only arrive after some time. However, the income from the game will soon arrive…”

“The money that I spent previously will soon be recovered. I have to think of a way to spend it!”

“However, it seems a little too late to start a new industry. There are still more than three months to settlement. Opening a new industry would easily trigger more chain reactions and induce a greater crisis…”

“We can consider forming a gaming department with Shenhua Corporation. We should be able to spend some money.”

“Is there any other way…”

“What department does Tengda lack now?”

Pei Qian looked around again and his eyes lit up.

“Yes, sales department!”

“Tengda has no sales department yet!”

Pei Qian suddenly found a blind spot.

He had always looked down on the sales department because a company like Tengda did not intend to sell any products. It was too late to hide them. What was the use of the sales department?

However, Pei Qian suddenly realized that he might not necessarily have to promote sales even though there is a sales department!

He was using the sales department’s name to spend the sales department’s funds, but he was actually doing the job of dissuading customers. How good was that!

“I’m a bloody genius!”

Pei Qian suddenly felt less miserable because he suddenly thought of a very good way to spend money!
