Chapter 999: Slow Movement Studio
At 10 AM the next day, Pei Qian went to the location that Lin Chang had sent him and arrived at the newly established Shenhua Games Department office.
This was another office building of Shenhua Real Estate. It looked equally dazzling and impressive. It was slightly worse than Shenhua View even though it was almost the same.
Shenhua Real Estate did not have many projects in second-tier cities like Jingzhou, but the quality was not bad.
Since it was an office building prepared for Lin Wan, all sorts of conditions had to be fulfilled.
Strictly speaking, it was a gaming company jointly funded by Shenhua Corporation and Tengda Corporation even though it was Shenhua’s gaming department. Thus, the name had not been determined yet.
However, names were minor details. The key was the company’s goal.
What he told Lin Wan was that establishing this company was to train her and improve her ability.
To Lin Chang, this company could allow Lin Wan to return to inherit the family business as soon as possible. At the same time, it could also be considered as expanding Shenhua Corporation.
Pei Qian hoped to use this opportunity to gradually get rid of Lin Wan and his relationship with Shenhua Corporation so that he could earn less money.
Thus, to Lin Chang and Pei Qian, whether or not they earned money by opening this company was secondary. They could accept it as long as they did not lose too much.
What’s more, even if they lost a lot of money, it would still make sense as long as they earned a good reputation.
Pei Qian was also thinking about this new game.
Lin Chang arrived early downstairs and brought Pei Qian to the office of the new company. However, Pei Qian was stunned when he saw the working environment.
It was almost exactly the same as Tengda Games!
The distance between the desks, the pantry, the layout of the entertainment room, and the various office tables were almost no different from Tengda Games!
Even the computer purchased was on ROF. The logo on it was too familiar.
Pei Qian scanned the office and realized that it was huge. There were at least a hundred work desks, all equipped with ROF computers…
He’d earned a f*cking load of money again!
Pei Qian was confused. “This…”

Lin Chang smiled and explained, “Boss Pei, don’t you find it familiar?”
“I was mainly worried that Ah Wan would not be able to adapt to the new working environment, so I did some homework. I arranged everything according to Tengda Games and Shang Yang Games’ office environment.”
“I heard that such an environment is good for increasing efficiency? It looks quite good.”
“I’ll get Shenhua Real Estate’s branch companies in Jingzhou to match this standard.”
Pei Qian: “…”
Soon, everyone arrived.
There were a few other employees other than Pei Qian, Lin Wan, and Lin Chang.
There was still a lot of preparation work in the early stages of the company. Lin Wan would definitely not be able to handle it alone. What’s more, there was no need for her to spend all her energy on these trivial matters.
Thus, Lin Chang prepared an entire team for her, including administrative, manpower, finance, and so on.
Of course, apart from these people, Lin Wan had to personally select, interview, and supervise the entire development team.
Lin Chang first gave a simple task to the person-in-charge of administration, manpower, and finance. He told them the important points of the expected work and then sent them away.
Pei Qian, Lin Chang, and Lin Wan were the only ones left in the conference room. They were ready to get down to business.
Lin Chang poured some tea. “There are no outsiders now. Let’s chat casually.”
“Actually, there are three things to be confirmed this time. The first is to give this company, or rather, the Studio, a nice name. The second is to confirm the general direction of the first project according to what Boss Pei said previously. The third is to confirm the general investment based on the situation of this project.”
“I’m not good at naming things. You two decide.”
Lin Chang sipped his tea like an outsider.
Indeed, there was no need for him to pay attention to it. That was because the gaming department had no intention of earning money. It was completely meant for Lin Wan to gain experience.
When Lin Chang had first returned, Old Master Lin had not directly allowed him to take over Shenhua’s entertainment industry. Instead, he had given him some money to practice with. It did not matter to Shenhua even if Lin Wan lost everything.

Lin Wan remained silent for a moment. “I’m also helpless at names…”
Pei Qian sighed softly. Alright, it looked like he had to come personally as the naming genius.
After some consideration, he said, “I think ‘Slow Progress Studio’ is not bad.”
Lin Chang sipped his tea while savoring it.
“Slow Movement Studio, Slow Movement…”
“Moving forward slowly, hinting that this studio has to take one step at a time. They can walk very slowly but they have to walk steadily. They can’t be anxious for quick success, they can’t be delusional and want to reach the sky in one step. They have to be down-to-earth and stop being arrogant and impetuous.”
“Alright, the meaning is not bad!”
“Ah Wan, this should be a wish from Boss Pei to you. You have to be humble and not be rash. You have to be down-to-earth.”
Lin Wan nodded. “Yes, I understand!”
Pei Qian sipped his tea silently and smiled without saying a word.
In fact, “Slow Movement” was another way of saying “Wan Leave”. In other words, he hoped that Lin Wan could leave as soon as possible. However, it was a little obscure and not that straightforward[1.The chinese character Lin Wan’s “Wan” means “slow” or “late” while the chinese word for movement can also mean “go” or “leave”].
As for how Lin Wan and Lin Chang would understand it, that had nothing to do with Pei Qian.
Lin Chang continued, “Alright, the name of the studio has been decided. It will be called Slow Movement Studio.”
“Next is the question of what Slow Movement Studio’s first game project should be.”
“Boss Pei, you said that you have a general idea?”
Pei Qian did not panic at all. After taking a sip of tea, he said, “I do have some ideas, but I still want to hear your opinions before that.”
Lin Chang nodded. “Alright, I’ll tell you my opinion first.”
“That’s what I think: Even though Ah Wan has some successful experience in Shang Yang Games, she is now in a new environment and a new batch of colleagues. The entire new research and development team still needs more time to work together. If she were to challenge a particularly difficult project right from the start, the chances of failure would be higher.”
“The problem with money is secondary. We mainly don’t want to hurt her confidence.”
“That’s why I feel that we should choose some successful projects that were done before. We can extend the experience of these projects and create a similar game. We can create innovations.”
“This project will mainly be to run-in the team. Once that is done, we can challenge more difficult projects.”
“Ah Wan, what do you think?”
Lin Wan pondered for a moment. “Yes, I agree.”
“Boss Pei has to fork out half of the funds this time after all. What’s more, I might have to trouble my colleagues at Shang Yang Games to help me with the development of the project…”
“If the project fails, the team might still be able to run-in but I would feel bad if everyone’s efforts go down the drain.”
“Therefore, I think it’s better to go from easy to difficult. We can think about making a mobile game to practice first. At the same time, we can sharpen the team. Once this project succeeds, we can think about the long-term goal.”
“This is in line with Boss Pei’s expectations of ‘Slow Movement Studio’. After all, Slow Movement Studio has to take it one step at a time and walk slowly. We cannot think of eating a fatty in one bite.”
Pei Qian raised his eyebrows slightly.
Slow Movement did not have that meaning. Don’t interpret it blindly!
If he really followed the thoughts of these two siblings and created a cell phone game first, then hung it on Shenhua’s application market, would there be any possibility of losing money for this project?
No way!
Pei Qian cleared his throat. “That’s not how you interpret ‘Slow Movement’.”
“There’s a saying: Make bold assumptions and seek confirmation carefully. When you set a goal, you have to have a long-term vision. You do have to walk step by step, but if you only care about what’s under your feet and don’t have foresight, you will still take the wrong path.”
“You already have enough experience in mobile games. What’s the point of making a few more mobile games? It’s just repeating what you’ve done many times before.”
“You can only improve if you dare to break through.”
“Think about it carefully. Which of the previous successful projects relied on ‘stability’ to succeed?”
Lin Wan was stunned for a moment, then a somewhat ashamed expression appeared on her face.

Demon Blade
Ryuken is your average 15-year old high schooler, living his life in an ordinary way, until he comes across a mysterious katana and is pulled into the world of unbelievable supernatural.An anime-inspired passion project of mine, sparked from my childhood love of shounen anime. I have big plans for this world but we'll see if I get to stick around long enough to finish it.Enjoy! Notes: 1. My writing style is mostly script-like with some 3rd person-ish narrative sprinkled in, and it is VERY dialogue-heavy. 2. It can be pretty slow, as I tend to focus more on characters rather than action. 3. Since the story is set in Japan with Japanese characters, I will be using Japanese honorifics whenever the characters are interacting with each other. To learn more about Japanese Honorifics, you can go to this website here. I apologize if I used them wrongly, or if I forgot to use them from time to time, or if it turns you off. 4. I don't have a fixed release schedule as I don't have time to write regularly at the moment. I may update tomorrow or next year. Who knows. I'm like your dad who's gone to the store for some milk. I'll be back. Cover Source
