Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Qiao Liang watched the last part of the video several times and felt that it was indeed a small flaw.

Qiao Liang had always been a perfectionist. It would be fine if he did not notice any problems. However, once he did, it would be like his OCD had acted up. He would feel terrible if he did not change it.

"How are we going to change that? We can't say that everyone in the country is trash apart from the Tengda Games, right? Some things cannot be said carelessly even if they are true."

"I can only find a few domestically-produced games that are not developed by Tengda."

"Hmm… where should I look?"

"Oh right, there was a game called 'Black Ink and Clouds' previously."

Qiao Liang immediately recalled the period before Chinese New Year where the Destitution Plan had been widely circulating with the release of the Survival Guide for Working Adults and the pre-sales of Black Ink and Clouds. It had caused quite a good response. They might be independent games but it was still a representative of outstanding domestic games.

Qiao Liang immediately opened the official platform. He wanted to edit the content of Black Ink and Clouds and Survival Guide for Working Adults and insert it at the end of his video.

There was no need for more editing. A few seconds and a few more screenshots would be enough.

However, when Qiao Liang opened the official platform, he was pleasantly surprised.

"Hm?"

"Black Ink and Clouds is scheduled to be released tomorrow. What's more, the official platform has given an exclusive interview to the incubation base of the Destitution Plan?"

Qiao Liang's eyes lit up as he immediately clicked on the interview.

The interview detailed the situation of the incubation base in Beijing and Shanghai. It also interviewed Wu Zhicheng, the designer of Black Ink and Clouds, and Qiu Hong, the founder of the Destitution Plan. The content of the interview was detailed and rich. It completely unveiled the mystery of the Destitution Plan.

"No problem, that's all I need!"

Qiao Liang was elated. He immediately recorded a special interview with the Survival Guide for Working Adults, Black Ink and Clouds and the Destitution Plan. He added it at the end of his video.

Then, Qiao Liang changed some of the words at the beginning of the video so that the contents of the entire video would echo each other.

When comparing the domestically-produced gaming environment of the 'Mission and Choice' era and the current domestically-produced gaming environment, it had the effect of reminiscing about the sweet.

Qiao Liang worked until 2 PM. Finally, he edited the video and uploaded it onto Aili Island.

…

At the same time, on the 16th floor of Shenhua View…

The employees of the two administrative departments were whispering to each other.

"Boss Pei has been coming to the office more frequently recently."

"That's true. In the past, he only came here for a day a week. This week, he had been sitting in the office for three or four consecutive days. What's more, He had been here for four or five hours. That's really rare!"

"Is it because the other industries are not busy, so Boss Pei doesn't have to interfere personally?"

"How is that possible? There are many things happening in the other departments! In my opinion, it must be because Mission and Choice is going to be released and the movie is going to be released. Boss Pei is worried."

"That can't be. In my impression, Boss Pei has always been a strategist. He has never worried about any project."

"I don't think he's worried but I think there's definitely pressure. After all, the investment this time is too huge. A few hundred million yuan has been invested. Who can withstand it if something goes wrong?"

"Indeed, this is a huge gamble. You will take off on the spot if you win. You will explode on the spot if you lose. I'm afraid there's no third scenario."

"I only hate myself for not being able to share Boss Pei's burdens."

"Forget it, don't think too much. We have to trust Boss Pei."

"Yes, that's right. We just have to do our job well. Boss Pei has never made a mistake in such a huge matter that decides the fate of the company. It must be the same this time."

The two employees discussed for a while before continuing with their work.

However, everyone looked at Boss Pei's office with more encouragement and admiration.

This was the leader of Tengda Corporation, Boss Pei!

His entire focus was on the company, be it worries or happiness!

What they did not know was that Pei Qian was indeed sighing in his own office. However, what he was worried about was the opposite of what everyone had guessed.

Boss Pei was worried that Mission and Choice would be a huge success and a huge profit…

Logically speaking, a project that had taken a long time and cost a lot of money would finally be completed. He should feel relieved.

However, Pei Qian did not feel relieved at all as April 14th approached. Instead, he felt more and more stressed.

How worrying!

Logically speaking, there should be no hope at all no matter whether it was the game or the movie. It would die on April 14th.

However, perhaps because he had failed too many times before, Pei Qian felt an inexplicable sense of panic. He felt that something was going to happen.

This last week was the hardest for Pei Qian.

Huang Sibo had called to say that Mission and Choice had been completed just now. It was slightly troublesome but everything had gone smoothly.

It was not a simple task to increase the release date but it was not uncommon. The release date was too important to the movie after all. The producers and distributors would do everything they could in order to obtain more box office.

Most of the movies were uploaded in order to avoid competitions and obtain a higher box office. For example, a film that was originally scheduled to be released on May 1st last year was moved to April 24th because the estimated film of a competition film during May 1st had surpassed them. The film released on April 24th was relatively weak, so it was a huge success at the box office after choosing to upload.

Other than that, there were also people who deliberately wanted to freeload on the same day as the movie. There were also people who tied up marketing and took the opportunity to create hype… All of these could cause the movie's schedule to change.

All in all, the producers and distributors of all the movies would try their best to choose the best slot for their own movies. That was because the quality of the slot would often determine the box office of hundreds of millions yuan. That was all real money.

However, it was probably unprecedented for someone like Pei Qian who was afraid that his own movie would be too aggressive and dominate the May 1st slot, and deliberately upload his own movie into a trash-tier slot.

Huang Sibo and Lin Chang did not agree with the proposal.

After all, in their opinion, Mission and Choice's quality was too good. Wouldn't it be a waste if they did not make it to the May 1st slot?

However, Pei Qian's reason was also very good. It was because the game was going to clash with the Fantasy Battle remake. Thus, the movie's schedule had to be brought forward along with the release date of the game.

Thus, even though Huang Sibo was reluctant he still did as he was told.

That made Pei Qian feel a little more at ease. Thus, he decided to browse Aili Island's website and watch videos to relax.

However, after browsing through the website, Pei Qian saw the video that Teacher Qiao had just released.

"Trash Games Diss Episode 92: The Trashiest Domestic Game in History looks like this!"

Pei Qian instinctively shivered when he saw Teacher Qiao's new video.

Once this guy released a video, he would stab Pei Qian in the back eight times out of ten. This made Pei Qian react quickly!

However, Pei Qian took a closer look at the title and immediately relaxed.

Oh, a false alarm!

He had thought that Qiao Liang had obtained the DEMO test of Mission and Choice from some other source and published another episode of Products of the Gods!

Qiao Liang had a good relationship with the heads of the games department. It was not entirely impossible for him to get the DEMO that Mission and Choice were developing.

If Qiao Liang were to release an episode of Products of the Gods before the game was released, he would be in big trouble!

However, since the title of the video was Trash Games Diss, there should be no problem.

Tengda Games had not been on this segment since The Lonely Desert Road after all.

However, Pei Qian only relaxed for two seconds before he realized that something was amiss.

The words 'the worst domestically-produced game in history 'made Pei Qian realize that things were not that simple!

He then looked at the summary of the video. Indeed, this episode was criticizing the disgraceful domestic 'Mission and Choice' game more than ten years ago!

"F*ck!"

Pei Qian could not help but curse.

What a scam!

Logically speaking, the 'Trash Games Diss' segment was no longer related to Tengda Games. Yet, Qiao Liang chose to diss 'Mission and Choice'!

Obviously, this video would bring gamers back to more than ten years ago to experience the collapse of domestic standalone games.

Next week, the remade version of 'Mission and Choice' will be officially released. Most people had just recalled the old version of 'Mission and Choice'. They would definitely add a lot of emotional points after seeing the remake…

Wasn't this a huge problem!

Pei Qian was speechless.

What was wrong with this Teacher Qiao! Why did he always have such perfect timing in sending videos?!

Pei Qian clicked on the video after struggling for a few minutes.

He had no choice. The video had already been released. He could not contact Aili Island to delete it, right?

He could only look at the content of the video and think of a countermeasure.
