Chapter 1165 - Boss Pei’s Third Favorite Segment Again
Chapter 1165: Boss Pei’s Third Favorite Segment Again
Pei Qian returned to his office and reconsidered his work after he was done with Shang Yang Games.
The work of the games department had been confirmed. Tengda Games had developed ‘Eternal Reincarnation’, Shang Yang Games had developed ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’, and Slow Movement Studio had developed ‘Real Estate Model VR’.
Of these three games, it looked like only Eternal Reincarnation had a higher chance of making money. Those two games should be relatively safe.
Eternal Reincarnation was not a big problem. After all, it was only downloadable content. It would not matter even if it made a small profit if it was priced at the first point as much as possible.
Eternal Reincarnation’s main mission was to make Repent and be Saved free.
As long as Repent and be Saved’s main body could succeed for free, it would be worth it for Eternal Reincarnation to earn a little.
As for the other departments, there were many tasks as well.
Lu Mingliang had been preparing for Upwind Logistics for three months. The cross-city air transport business was about to officially begin.
In addition to the game ‘Eternal Reincarnation’, Zhongdian Chinese Network’s copyright development, Fei Huang Workspace had to go overseas to film the web series for ‘Successor’. In addition, they had to form an animation department and change the novel ‘Executer Academy’, which was based on GOG, to an animation.
The publicity department had to continue working hard to make the reverse publicity effect more obvious. However, this was Meng Chang’s job. Pei Qian did not have to worry anymore.
GOG had to pay attention to IOI’s movements. Pei Qian thought that he could go easy on IOI and let it take a breather. He did not want to accidentally defeat IOI. That would be troublesome.
Otto Technologies had to cooperate with Shang Yang Games to make a driving simulator steering wheel.
Tengda’s experience shop had to continue opening. The shop in Golden Prosperity Square had a lot of traffic at the moment, but it only looked lively and not profitable. Considering that this was the first shop and it was in Jingzhou, it was understandable that there would be a lot of traffic. If he continued opening more shops, he would probably burn more money.
Pei Qian also planned to take care of Bunny Tail Live-Stream.
Previously, after Pei Qian created a ‘suicidal operation’, the flow of Bunny Tail’s live-stream had greatly decreased. Even though Bunny Tail’s live-stream had also organized activities like the ‘BP verification competition’ and warmed the website up, the overall development trend had indeed been curbed.
Pei Qian was thinking that the situation with Bunny Tail Live-Stream was more optimistic now. He could consider letting it share some responsibility and burn some money.
The last was the office building. However, there was no need to worry about this. According to the system’s regulations, the infrastructure project would not be settled. It could start whenever.
If they wanted to build a building, it would not be done in a few months. Thus, there was not much difference between whether they built it one day earlier or one day later.
Pei Qian thought about it. He could first discuss with Liang Qingfan and let him choose a location for the building to come up with a preliminary design plan. Then, it would not be too late to start building the office building after the movie box office and other funds were in place.
In any case, he just had to ensure that he spent the money before this settlement cycle.
Other than that, there were many other projects. However, Pei Qian did not intend to pay special attention to them if there were no special circumstances. After all, he had already established a “take it easy” approach. He could not manage all the projects. He could only focus on a portion of the projects.
Pei Qian stretched and scanned his work memo.
“Eh? It’s August again before I know it.”
“Doesn’t that mean… I’m going to have my third favorite ‘Bao Xu Travel’ segment again?”
Tengda had two outstanding employee selections each year, in February and August.
Half a year had passed too quickly. In the blink of an eye, the scene of Bao Xu and Liang Qingfan going to Egypt to look at the pyramid was still vivid in his mind. It seemed to have happened yesterday.
“Bao Xu’s Travel” has become a traditional retention project. It was Pei Qian’s third favorite segment.
What were the first and second places?
Of course, it was to settle the losses and Meng Chang getting the basic salary.
If he ranked further down the list, Teacher Qiao going around haunted houses might be ranked fourth on the list for the four happiest events in Boss Pei’s life.
“I wonder where Bao Xu will choose to travel this time?”
Pei Qian did not even consider the possibility that Bao Xu was not going on a holiday.
That was because it was basically a done deal from all the signs!
Before this, Pei Qian had wanted to protect Bao Xu. He had already written the commendation letter. In the end, he only showed it to Bao Xu and scared him. He did not send it out.
However, he did not expect the snack market to become popular and the television station to interview him. Bao Xu’s hard work for the snack market was immediately known by everyone!
Pei Qian could not protect him anymore.
Over the past six months, the most successful project should have been ‘Mission and Choice’. After all, it was a huge project that had been held back for nearly a year. The game and movie were very successful. The best employee would definitely be produced from this project.
Huang Sibo contributed the most since he was the one who took the lead in the entire project. However, the problem was that Huang Sibo had already received the Dream Fund once and would not get it a second time.
On the surface, this setting meant that since an employee had already received the Dream Fund, it meant that his dream had been realized. He would not take it a second time and leave the opportunity to others.
However, Pei Qian’s real thoughts were that if an employee took the Dream Fund and was sent to other departments, and made huge contributions, it meant that this person would be able to succeed no matter how many times he changed positions. There was no need to repeatedly waste precious spots in the first-place-elimination system on such a person. It would be more practical to eliminate others.
All in all, Huang Sibo would not win this award.
If Huang Sibo was excluded, Hu Xianbin, Min Jingchao, and Zhu Xiaoce would stand a chance.
However, considering that the gaming department was the core department of Tengda Corporation, it had always had the reputation of “Tengda’s elite” and had a natural advantage in voting.
Hu Xianbin had been in charge of more than one game. Even in terms of seniority, it was most likely his turn.
Doubt VR glasses were also very successful, but Slow Movement Studio did not belong to Tengda Corporation after all. It did not participate in the selection.
As for second place…
The other departments had their own bases, such as Otto Technologies making smart fitness drying racks, Shang Yang Games developing Fitness Battle, and so on. However, Bao Xu had a unique advantage in running for second place.
The success of the snack market in the Cyberpunk style caused a warm response. The television stations reported it. At the same time, it indirectly caused Tengda to buy the snack street shops. After the announcement of the subway plan, it caused a complicated chain reaction. This result was very prominent.
Bao Xu had made outstanding contributions in this project. He was the one who suggested the style, and he was also the one who designed the various interactive elements in the snack market. He was very busy and worked very hard.
Zhang Yahui, the person-in-charge of the snack market, thought that Bao Xu’s contribution was far above his own.
What’s more, as an employee of the games department, Bao Xu worked hard for the snack market. He had a very good role.
Lastly, everyone wanted Bao Xu to go on a holiday. Many people would probably work hard to place him in second place.
Thus, no matter how Pei Qian thought about it, Bao Xu was probably the only one who would get the opportunity to travel.
The question worth considering now was what Hu Xianbin would do after obtaining the Dream Fund. Who would take over Hu Xianbin’s job and become the new person-in-charge of Tengda Games? Where would Bao Xu choose to travel?
Pei Qian could not help but look forward to Friday’s Best Employee Selection!

…
August 2nd, Thursday…
Otto Technologies’ conference room.
Wang Xiaobin and Ye Zhizhou were discussing the game ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ with Chang You and Jiang Yuan, as well as the development of the steering wheel.
After yesterday’s brainstorming session, Wang Xiaobin and Ye Zhizhou had quickly written the design draft for ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’.
According to his understanding of Boss Pei’s initial design concept, the steering wheel was obviously very important to this game.
Thus, on the second day after writing the concept draft, Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin arrived at Otto Technologies. They quickly arranged for the steering wheel so that the game would be released together with the game.
The design concept draft had been printed out. Chang You and Jiang Yuan each had a copy. They read the design draft while listening to Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin explain the core gameplay of this game.
“This game is too realistic.”
Chang You could not help but feel emotional after understanding the various settings of this game.
He did not know much about games, but he knew what these ‘inhumane’ settings meant in a racing game.
Using harsh punishment measures to make players obediently follow the rules in the game. Only Boss Pei could come up with such a design. Other game designers probably did not have such guts.
Of course, Chang You and Jiang Yuan would definitely not raise any questions about this design plan. There were specializations in the industry. Game design was a matter for the games department. What’s more, this was Boss Pei’s design plan.
Who would dare to question Boss Pei’s game design standards?
To Chang You and Jiang Yuan, the most important thing was to cooperate with Shang Yang Games and set the exterior of the steering wheel well.
Wang Xiaobin said, “I don’t know much about simulated steering, but our project team happens to have a brother who is very passionate about playing racing simulators. That’s why I learned from him yesterday. It can be said that I’ve supplemented the relevant knowledge.”
“I’ll share the basic situation with everyone now.”
“At the moment, there are many games on the market, ranging from a hundred yuan to more than ten thousand yuan. The difference is very obvious.”
“There can be two types of game steering. Entertainment steering and simulated steering.”
“The simulated steering wheel can also be divided into two types. They are the gearshift or belt-reaction steering wheel, as well as the direct steering wheel that steps into the motor or servo motor.”
“Basically everything below a thousand yuan is an entertainment steering wheel. Such a steering wheel does not have the strength to give back. It is purely through primitive mechanical structures such as springs or elastic ropes to make the steering wheel correct. The steering wheel cannot turn by itself, and it cannot simulate the state of the tires. To put it bluntly, it is the controller changing the shell.”
“The entry-level power feedback steering wheel and the direct steering wheel are both simulated steering wheels, but the specific structure is different. The mainstream power feedback wheel’s price is basically from 2,000 to 3,000 yuan. It can be considered an entry-level model of the simulated steering wheel.”
“The power feedback of such a steering wheel is mainly transmitted through gears, straps, or a combination of gears and straps. Compared to the entertainment steering wheel of less than a thousand yuan, the experience will rise by a huge level. It will also be the first choice for newbies.”
“The last type would be to direct the drive steering wheel.”
