Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Pei Qian paused for a moment and continued. "Second, I want to set up another supervisory meeting above the original person-in-charge."

"At the person-in-charge's meeting, they will determine the future direction of the company and discuss the specific transfer of resources. The supervision will be on the development of the entire company."

"This supervision will be made up of three types of people. First, it will be the experienced people in charge of Tengda Corporation, second, the bosses of cooperating companies, including Lin Wan, Li Shi, and so on. Lastly, it will be Ruan Guangjian, Qiao Liang, Cui Geng, and so on, the experienced users or related people who are deeply bound to Tengda Corporation."

"I would know immediately when a decision made at the person-in-charge's meeting caused a strong controversy and more than one-third of the people in the entire supervision meeting expressed their objections."

"Third, from now on, I will encourage Tengda Corporation's various departments to compete. I will always pay attention to Tengda Corporation's development no matter where I am."

"Whether a certain department develops well or not depends not only on how much money the department earns, but also on the social impact it has and its reputation among ordinary people. All these factors will be taken into account."

"If the thinking of the person-in-charge of certain departments changes, I believe that the side that is more in line with the Tengda spirit will win. Even if there are mistakes for various reasons, I will be back at any time and correct it in time."

"To Tengda Corporation, it might not be a good thing to completely disassemble it. After all, once the various departments are disassembled, it means that they will no longer be able to support those unprofitable departments through the resources of the various departments. However, it is not a good thing for the various departments to be highly concentrated. That is because this will really allow Tengda to enter a monopoly state. After losing competition, it will gradually decline and die!"

"That's why I hope that every department head can become the successor of the Tengda spirit. I hope that the most outstanding talent among you can appear and truly inherit the Tengda spirit!"

"I will also always observe Tengda Corporation's every move from the perspective of a bystander and be always vigilant against its changes."

Pei Qian paused for a moment again and said, "Of course, perhaps all methods will fail one day."

"After all, there is nothing in this world that will never deteriorate, nor is there a dynasty that will never decline, let alone a small company."

"However, I believe that we don't have to be too sad when that day comes. That's because Tengda Corporation has been here. It changed the world and planted a seed in everyone's hearts."

"If one day Tengda Corporation becomes a new dragon, there will definitely be people who inherit this will become the new dragon slayer!"

The people in charge lowered their heads and remained silent.

To them, Tengda Corporation was still in its vigorous youth. Its future was immeasurable, and it could still contribute to the world.

Boss Pei's worries seemed to be too far away. It was as if he had seen his twilight years in advance when he was young.

However, this was not a pessimism. Instead, it was calm and open-minded.

Everyone should indeed accept this calm and open spirit.

True idealism was not about harboring fantasies. Instead, it was about choosing to persevere until the end after recognizing the reality of this world!

"Since that's the case, this matter is settled."

"Everyone, don't feel melancholy or have too many emotions. The company's business will not change after I leave. You can make decisions however you want."

"If the company really faces difficulties one day, you don't have to worry. I believe you can solve it appropriately. In a real crisis, I might suddenly appear in the President's office and take over Tengda Corporation again."

"Alright, dismissed. I'll order a few people, come to my office."

Many people in charge were still unwilling to accept this reality. Some people even felt that their eyes were a little sore. They felt sad when they thought that they would not be able to ask Boss Pei for instructions when they encountered problems in the future.

However, they had to admit that what Boss Pei said made sense. There was no banquet that would not end! The reason why Boss Pei was Boss Pei was because he would always make decisions that were completely different from ordinary people at special times. These decisions were proven to be right in the end!

Thus, the people in charge chose to accept Boss Pei's decision as usual. Then, they would slowly figure out the deeper meaning of Boss Pei's decision.

...

Ten minutes later, Pei Qian was in his own office. He took one last look at the configuration and carefully put his blanket into the cabinet.

Then, he began to receive the important ministers he had named.

First was Xin Hailu, Assistant Xin.

"Actually, it would be a waste of your talent to be the Vice-President of Tengda Corporation with your ability. Of course, you are actually doing the work of the Vice-President of the company. The treatment and actual rights are on par with the Vice-President of the company."

"From today onwards, you will be the highest Vice-President of the company. When conflicts and disagreements occur in the various departments, you will coordinate."

"I'm not worried about your ability at all. You'll definitely be very capable!"

"For Tengda Corporation, you have always been a omnipotent Guardian. I also hope that you can continue to protect it in the future."

Xin Hailu nodded her head as usual and said briskly, "Alright, Boss Pei."

However, she paused for a moment and added, "Before making every decision, I will think about the decisions that you made previously. I hope that I will not let down this important task."

Pei Qian nodded.

The second person he wanted to meet was Ma Yang.

Once Ma Yang entered, he said, "Brother Qian, I don't want to work anymore. I think I've already achieved my freedom of wealth. I want to travel the world with you and continue learning. We'll even be classmates."

Pei Qian smiled. "Forget it. You want to play with me and cheat me, right?"

"I will support your decision whether you choose to stay in the company or leave the company."

"However, I'm more inclined to let you continue to stay in the company because I understand you. You might not have any idea of your own standards when you play games, and you always have a psychedelic feeling sometimes, but you can distinguish the big and the small. You can also not be tempted by too many benefits. That is the best quality!"

"I think you can stay in the company. You don't have to be in charge of the specific business anymore. However, you can play the role of supervision. You don't have to ask Tengda Corporation to move forward quickly and smoothly in the future. You just have to not take the wrong path."

"If you have any questions, you can contact me at any time."

Ma Yang was moved. "Alright, Brother Qian. Since you trust me so much, I'll continue to stay and be glorified by Tengda Corporation!"

The third person to enter the president's office was Lin Wan.

Lin Wan might not be an employee of Tengda Corporation anymore but the President of Slow Movement Studio but Pei Qian still felt that he had to remind her.

"I always knew that you were an idealist and a very executing person."

"Slow Movement Studio has developed to its current scale. Your dreams are being realized one step at a time. However, idealists are only the first step."

"I hope that you and the other companies can supervise Tengda Corporation from outside. If Tengda Corporation deteriorates one day, I hope that you can lead Slow Movement Studio and continue the spirit of Tengda Corporation."

Lin Wan nodded. "I will."

"If Tengda Corporation really becomes public enemy one day in the future, Slow Movement Studio will be the first to raise the flag."

"However..."

"Boss Pei, you will return to Jingzhou often in the future, right?"

Pei Qian smiled. "Of course."

The fourth person to enter the office was Huang Sibo.

As a veteran of Tengda Corporation and a core employee of the games and film departments, Huang Sibo was the representative of all of Tengda's employees. He had created huge results for Tengda Corporation. At the same time, Tengda Corporation had turned it from a dejected and bitter planner to the current world's famous game and movie producer!

Pei Qian said, "It's about Tengda Corporation's future game business."

"In the past, the games department has been creating games that I want. You people in charge have not had a good opportunity to show your talents."

"Yu Fei might be the person-in-charge of the games department, but his alone ideas are limited. Therefore, I hope that you, Lu Mingliang, and the other producers will not give up on game design. Every time you have some new thoughts, create a new game."

"The gaming department has always been the most important pillar of Tengda Corporation, both in material and spirit."

Huang Sibo nodded seriously. "Alright, Boss Pei. I will definitely spread your game design concept and glorify it."

"Keep in mind to nurture more talents in the domestic games industry and contribute more good works."

Tang Yishu was the last to enter the office.

Pei Qian could not help but smile when he saw his little mascot.

"Little Tang, the company's Management Trainee system will continue to persist and deepen. I hope that you will not be affected by the company. Instead, you will form an independent department outside Tengda Corporation with the Management Trainees and monitor every move of Tengda Corporation from the various departments."

"You can report any problems to me directly."

Tang Yishu nodded timidly. "Then, Senior, can I ask you other questions if there's nothing special?"

Pei Qian nodded. "Sure."

Tang Yishu said, "Alright, alright. Senior, I'll definitely complete the task!"

...

Pei Qian looked at the president's office one last time and recalled his 'legendary business life'.

Initially, he had only wanted to spend all fifty thousand yuan.

However, under the constraints of the system, Pei Qian had taken a different path.

When others opened companies, they would do their best to reduce costs, reduce expenses, and mess up 996. The employees would work overtime hard and have low work efficiency. If outsiders guided the insiders, the products they made would also be filled with the feeling of making money.

Thus, those who wanted to earn money often earned a little money, but their companies would never be able to develop. The final outcome would definitely be to leave silently.

On the other hand, Pei Qian was thinking of ways to increase costs and expenses by opening the company. He wanted to give his employees ample rest and overtime pay. The employees could fully display their passion and ability. To the employees, even though they did not hold the company's shares, they were actually equivalent to the company's shareholders. That was because they would not be able to find a better job if they left this company.

Thus, the employees worked hard. Coupled with their innovative and unique product ideas, they appointed people who really knew the industry as the person-in-charge. The entire company naturally developed quickly.

Pei Qian could not help but wonder what would have happened if he had successfully lost the fifty thousand yuan back then.

Perhaps he would have a considerable amount of Personal Wealth now. However, that would make him no different from rich second-generation heirs who ate, drank, and played every day without caring about official business.

Wealth did not matter how much one had, but how one used it.

On the surface, the restrictions that the System had placed on Pei Qian prevented him from becoming the owner of the System Funds. However, in reality, it was guiding Pei Qian to spend the money more meaningfully.

Wealth was a resource that could change the world.

Perhaps at the beginning, this change would be very small. However, as long as it accumulated, there would be a day when it would cause a world-shaking change.

Pei Qian was like a butterfly, gently fluttering its wings, causing a violent storm.

Now, Pei Qian finally understood how to use this wealth.

He wanted to continue like before, spend all the System Funds in meaningful places, do research on advanced technology, work hard to make technological products that benefit ordinary people, revive the weak industries, advocate a healthy lifestyle, subtly change this world, make it better.

Everything in Tengda Corporation would not change. They would still not work overtime and still have full benefits. They would still spend money to do things that other companies were unwilling to do. They would still be willing to do their best to make the world better.

However, Pei Qian, whose mind was filled with only thinking about losing money, had to work hard to become the 'Boss Pei' in the hearts of his employees.

At that thought, Pei Qian left his office and walked to the office.

He looked at the serious and hardworking employees and smiled for the first time.

"Everyone, please stop everything you're doing. I have something to announce."

Everyone turned to look at him.

Pei Qian cleared his throat. "Ever since the company was established, everyone has been working hard and taking no complaints. You've worked hard!"

"Next, I hope that everyone can continue to work hard to better complete our goal, make Tengda Corporation better and contribute more to society!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment before they applauded warmly.

It had been a long time since he had heard Boss Pei's impassioned speech!

The employees were very excited. It looked like Boss Pei had something big to announce.

What big project did he have to do? Or did he confirm Tengda Corporation's new development goal and direction?

Everyone rubbed their hands together and waited.

With a stoic expression, Pei Qian made a fist in the air and instantly, the applause came to an end.

"Today is a good day. To celebrate, everyone can knock off early!"

"Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the three-day holiday!"

"Everyone, go home and rest well. Come back to work after you've conserved your energy!"

Pei Qian walked out of the office happily as the employees looked confused.

The warm sunlight shone on him, making him extremely satisfied.

He still remembered when he had just established Tengda. He had given his employees three days of leave to celebrate their first day at work.

Now, in order to celebrate the new stage that he and Tengda Corporation had entered, and the three-day holiday, this was called echoing.

Pei Qian looked up at the blue sky. For the first time, he could clearly feel that he had unlimited possibilities in this world.

...

Pei Qian returned to his residence after leaving the office.

He took off his suit, his glasses, and changed into his usual casual clothes. Then, he went downstairs to get a new hairstyle.

He had to admit that the barbershop on the streets was very good!

A second ago, Pei Qian had been the legitimate CEO of a company. Now, with just a few scissors from this street hair stylist, Pei Qian had turned back into a young man who had just graduated from university.

He could not help but feel emotional. These magical barbers had the ability to turn magic into decay.

However, that was good as well. Not many people would be able to recognize Pei Qian in other cities.

That made Pei Qian think of that superman.

Many people said that Superman had only taken off his glasses. Why couldn't so many people recognize him? The reason was very simple. Superman had not just taken off his glasses and changed his clothes. More importantly, his image and environment had changed drastically. Most people would not associate Superman with the ordinary and yes-man journalist.

Pei Qian was the same. When he changed out of that expensive suit and changed his hairstyle to walk the streets as an ordinary person, no one would associate him with the almightly Boss Pei!

What's more, Pei Qian had been avoiding showing his face in public previously. He had also covered himself up as an actor. It was also helpful.

Of course, Pei Qian did not intend to change his appearance and become a human again. He just wanted to be less disturbed.

At that moment, he felt that he had finally put down the heavy burden on his shoulders. At that moment, Tengda Corporation's President was no longer his most important identity. He had returned to being himself.

"Yes, I'll buy a villa next. Then, I'll tour the world and sign up for some classes to continue my studies."

"Sigh, it's all Tengda's fault. If not for this lousy company, I would not have neglected my studies!"

Pei Qian thought about the beautiful future as he walked away.

He was very grateful because he was in his most free state.

He did not need to be troubled by material things. This sum of money was enough for him to live freely in this world. It could also support most of his pursuits!

On the other hand, he would not be firmly tied to the company like other bosses. He would become a tool from then on. No matter how much money he earned, he would not be able to live his own life.

Pei Qian's future goal was to work hard to improve himself. He hoped that one day, he would be worthy of everyone's expectations for Boss Pei.

At the same time, he would supervise Tengda Corporation at all times to ensure that it continued on the right path!
