Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Everyone was shocked.

Good lord, Boss Li's acting skills had improved again!

Yet, he had managed to trick him again. Damn it!

It had exploded with such a huge piece of news in such a casual manner.

"What's going on? Boss Pei arranged everything? Is' Shu Li 'a project that Boss Pei invested in? What's going on?"

"Something's not right, right? 'Shu Li' is a project that Boss Pei invested in. Why would the anti-Tengda Alliance make an issue out of this game? Are their brains short? Isn't this slapping themselves in the face?"

"'Shu Li' is Boss Pei's project, why didn't everyone say it? Is there a need to keep this a secret?!"

The investors were shocked, shocked, and unacceptable.

Had the anti-Tengda Alliance made a huge mistake?

Li Shi smiled. "If Boss Pei had explained the investment in 'Shu Li' clearly from the beginning, would the Tengda Alliance have taken the bait?"

"Boss Pei is fishing. Those who are willing will be hooked!"

"I can't blame the people of the anti-Tengda Alliance for being stupid. To be honest, before I flipped through the internal information of Dream Realization Ventures, I did not expect that the person who invested in 'Shu Li' was really Boss Pei!"

"After all, according to the thinking of normal people, this is a supportive investment. The risk and benefits are not proportional at all. It's impossible to make such an investment for profit. It's more for fame. We have to publicize it."

"However, Boss Pei did not intend to publicize it and ask the entire investment project to be kept a secret. Boss Pei was still very calm and did not expose it even when the anti-Tengda Alliance was attacking it crazily. He was too calm and had the style of a great general!"

"As for why it's a secret, there are many ways to interpret this."

"Perhaps Boss Pei is indifferent to fame and fortune and doesn't want to seek such superficial fame. He doesn't want to raise Tengda too high and become a moral model."

"Perhaps Boss Pei had expected that one day, someone with ulterior motives would use similar excuses to attack Tengda. Thus, he arranged a backup plan in advance."

An investor was shocked. "Could Boss Pei have predicted it to this extent? He invested in 'Shu Li' and the people against Tengda Alliance happened to see 'Shu Li' and attacked Tengda?"

Li Shi shook his head. "I think there should be some luck here."

"First of all, if the people from the anti-Tengda Alliance use other games to attack Tengda, Tengda can also use 'Shu Li' to fight back and prove that they really invested and supported a hopeful domestically-produced game. They did not invest in that project because they felt that the quality of this project was average or that it was not in line with Tengda's concept."

"All in all, with the logo of 'Shu Li' around, the fact that Tengda did not invest in domestically-produced games would naturally not be reliable."

"Secondly, there aren't many outstanding standalone projects in the country to begin with. There are even fewer outstanding projects. The outstanding quality of 'Shu Li' is also an outstanding existence among many domestically-produced games. It's like a bait. It's too attractive. It's difficult not to notice the anti-Tengda Alliance!"

"Lastly, and the most important point: First, Tengda invested in 'Shu Li', provided it with a starting sum, and made the game DEMO. It had a certain amount of results which was why it was noticed by the anti-Tengda Alliance!"

"The companies in the anti-Tengda Alliance have one characteristic: they can only add flowers to the brocade and would not help in times of need. Sometimes, they are not even icing on the cake. They just forcefully cut in and pick fruits seeing that the fruits are almost ripe."

"To them, if Shu Li only had an initial design manuscript, they would definitely not invest in it. They would only approach it when Shu Li achieves results and sees hope for success."

"Therefore, 'Shu Li' is a huge bait. Under such temptation, it's almost inevitable that the anti-Tengda Alliance will take the bait!"

"Those companies that were against Tengda Alliance thought that Yan Qi's team used the money earned from the mobile game 'Blade of the Empire' to develop 'Shu Li'. They did not expect that there was really an investor behind Yan Qi's team who dared to back them up!"

The investors sighed after hearing Li Shi's explanation.

Brilliant, truly brilliant!

Boss Pei's' Jiang Taigong fishing and the willing get hooked 'had really caught the fish in the anti-Tengda Alliance!

"In that case… Boss Pei is really farsighted and farsighted!"

"Even if this is not a pure prediction and deduction ability, he must at least have a deep understanding of the current situation and the companies that are opposing Tengda Alliance to make such a advanced judgment!"

"No wonder Boss Li, you said that Dream Realization Ventures is boring. Every time we encounter a problem, we can always find a solution that Boss Pei had left behind. This is indeed lacking in challenge!"

"By the way, Boss Li, this information should still be kept a secret, right? Is it alright to tell us?"

The investors were satisfied.

Li Shi smiled. "Actually, it's only a matter of time before this news spreads. Last month, the company's credibility information system was released. Tengda used Dream Realization Ventures to create an independent game incubation base, Dawn Games platform, and the project team of Shu Li. It can't be hidden anymore!"

"I think that it's precisely because of this that Boss Pei did not choose to release the news himself to slap Tengda Alliance in the face."

"That's because letting others expose this news would be more lethal!"

"The more popular this matter is, the more people would want to find out the truth. Someone would be able to find the real investor behind 'Shu Li' through this public announcement system."

"Therefore, Tengda is not flustered at all now. No matter how big the storm outside is, Boss Pei is only sitting steadily. That's because the bigger the storm, the worse the anti-Tengda Alliance will lose in the end. It looks like they are shooting at Tengda 10,000 arrows, but in fact, Boss Pei is only borrowing arrows from the grassroots!"

Li Shi's cell phone vibrated as he spoke.

He picked it up and smiled.

"See! I told you that someone would find out about this sooner or later. Isn't that it?"

The two investors immediately came over curiously.

Li Shi smiled, obviously pleased with himself. "I'll share it to you."

He might not have planned this plan like Boss Pei, and he had not even participated in it, but he had taken over halfway. He was part of this plan. Li Shi was very proud to be able to see such an exciting prediction.

The investors took out their cell phones one by one to check the content that Li Shi had shared.

It was a special report against Shu Li on the official games platform!

This special report looked rather impressive. It was arranged in the most eye-catching position on the official games platform. It was difficult not to see it.

Of course, what Li Shi reposted was not the official games platform's original report. Instead, it was reposted by other media.

That was because the official platform's reports were all posted on the platform. They could only be seen after logging in. However, this news was really too explosive. Therefore, once it was released, it caused various media to repost it and spread throughout the internet in an instant!

…

The title of the interview was: Interview with the producer of "Shu Li", Yan Qi: carefully protect the spark in your heart. Once you encounter salary, it would naturally burn out!

The first half of the interview was quite conventional. It only talked about Yan Qi's life as a game designer.

He loved action games when he was young. He had always had the dream of 'making outstanding domestically-produced action games' in his heart. After work, he entered the game industry resolutely. However, the dream was too far away. He was forced to make a mobile game first, be an employee, and then be a producer.

Even though the Blade of the Empire had achieved commercial success, materialism did not stop him from working hard. Instead, he was more desperate for his initial dream. The money earned by the Blade of the Empire did not become a burden to him. Instead, it became a support for him to take off.

This was what the title said: Take care of the spark in your heart carefully and not let it be extinguished. When the conditions are ripe, it will naturally burn.

This was a rather conventional interview just looking at the first half.

After all, Yan Qi's experience could be said to be a reflection of many domestic game designers. It might have been a leap but on the whole, it was very solid. Everyone's route was not much different.

The key was in the latter half of the video.

"When he was talking about the game 'Shu Li', Yan Qi said that this game had an external source of inspiration. The help and support of investors were the fundamental motivation for him to develop this game to the extreme at all costs. Otherwise, the money earned by 'Blade of the Empire' would not be enough to support him developing 'Shu Li' to the extreme…"

The interview script became a little strange when it reached this point.

That was because the content suddenly became vague!

Yan Qi had mentioned external help many times in the interview, but he did not say where this external help came from.

He did not elaborate on the sources of inspiration and funds. Instead, he pulled out Dawn Games platform and praised it greatly. He was grateful for the help that Dawn Games platform provided him.

Everyone was confused. How could this be called an interview?

After a long time, he was completely lonely!

Why don't you clarify such important information? Or rather, don't put these ambiguous and ambiguous things in the report at all?

Why are you leaving this riddle for everyone to play with?

Would a professional reporter from the official platform make such a low-level mistake?

The content of the interview was not over even though it felt a little ridiculous. Thus, everyone read it patiently.

At the end of the interview manuscript, Yan Qi did not mention the source of inspiration and funds for "Shu Li". He was very tight-lipped.

However, just because Yan Qi did not say it did not mean that the manuscript was not written!

There was a final line in the interview manuscript after the interview was over.

"When talking about this mysterious investor, Yan Qi's face always brimmed with an uncontrollable smile, but he never revealed it."

"However, the company's information platform was just released last month. As long as you check it, the truth will naturally be revealed."

"I sincerely hope that there would be more companies that would be down-to-earth and truly contribute to domestically-produced games. On the other hand, the fewer companies that would provoke conflict, attack, and help domestically-produced games carry out moral abduction, the better!"

"The eyes of the masses might be occasionally blinded by the illusion that they were meticulously created, but the eyes of the masses are still clear. All the despicable tricks will eventually be melted away by the sun. The truth will definitely be revealed to the world!"
