Chapter 184 Bury the Hatchet

Ma Yang was stunned for a moment, then his eyes welled up with tears.

"Brother Qian, even now you still trust me so much, I really..."

Pei Qian patted Ma Yang on the shoulder and looked at Zhang Yuan. "Remember, I have always had high expectations for you, and that has never changed!"

"So what if we lose more than 300,000 yuan each month? That's small money! Tenda is a big company now, and keeping so much money won't make it generate more money on its own. We need to spend it wisely!"

"As I said before, Mofish Internet Cafe is an important part of the Tenda Group's strategy. I value it more than anything else, which is why I entrusted it to you two."

"You should completely forget about making a profit now. You must not lower the price. Just maintain the current situation, understand?"

"Ma Yang, don't worry about 300,000 yuan, or even 3 million or 30 million. As long as you honestly do as I say, I won't bat an eye no matter how much you lose!"

"Do it boldly, and as I said before, I'll cover all the losses!"

Pei Qian then looked at the slightly apprehensive staff in the internet cafe.

"Everyone is the same. Don't have any psychological burden. I guarantee that no matter how much Mofish Internet Cafe loses, we will never lay off any of you!"

"All the brothers at the internet cafe will get a 30% raise! Please continue to serve every customer with full enthusiasm!"

"Next month, we will open a new internet cafe in Jingzhou City, and every one of you will have the opportunity to be the manager of the new store!"

Pei Qian's words were impassioned and filled with inspiration.

The eyes of several staff members lit up instantly!

Everyone was getting a raise!

Moreover, a new branch was opening soon, and the branch manager would be chosen from the current employees!

This was amazing! Really amazing!

Originally, everyone was afraid that President Pei would give up because the internet cafe was constantly losing money, and that they might suddenly lose their jobs one day and lose such a good job.

However, President Pei did not abandon anyone and was going to take everyone to new heights!

Now, everyone had only one thought in their minds: to give their all for President Pei!

"Alright, I'll go back first."

"I'm leaving the internet cafe to you. I'm at ease."

Pei Qian patted Ma Yang's arm one last time, then turned and left.

Watching Pei Qian leave in Assistant Xin's Cayenne, Ma Yang's heart was surging. "I'm going to think of other ways. I definitely can't lose to Huang Sibo!"

Zhang Yuan was also full of energy. "It's almost evening. I'll sing a few more songs today and try to attract more customers to buy drinks!"

…

…

In the car.

Pei Qian was well aware of the impact that his inspiring words would have on the people at Mofish Internet Cafe.

But he wasn't worried.

Because many times, if the direction was wrong, no matter how hard you tried, it would be useless!

Ma Yang was excited, so what?

Pei Qian wasn't worried that he would do anything out of line.

So what if Zhang Yuan worked harder when mixing drinks and sang more passionately?

So what if the other staff treated every customer like a god?

The key was that Mofish Internet Cafe's pricing and location had already deterred most of the mainstream crowd.

Even if the employees were all inspired, with this price, the rich people who should come would still come, and ordinary people who couldn't afford it still wouldn't come. Everything wouldn't change much.

Moreover, once Pei Qian opened a branch next month, the losses would roll upwards. Wouldn't everything be fine then?

…

Back at the company.

Pei Qian felt that there was nothing else he could do now. He was just quietly waiting for the settlement.

During this period, the company's employees were basically all left to their own devices, doing whatever they wanted.

However, when Pei Qian walked into the office area today, he felt that the atmosphere was a bit off.

It seemed a bit too enthusiastic!

Many people were gathered around Lu Mingliang, looking at something. They were all smiling without saying a word.

And Pei Qian even saw Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce.

What were they doing here?

Pei Qian was instinctively alert!

Mainly because these two were like jinxes. Every time Pei Qian saw them, nothing good would come of it!

He quickly reviewed everything. Had he missed any key information?

"Game Producer" was already popular.

"Pei Zong's Daily Life" was also already popular.

He had just come from the internet cafe, which was still losing money. There was no problem there, right?

President Pei was already practically buried; what worse news could there be?

Then what were these people secretly discussing?

It made him uneasy...

"President Pei is back!"

Someone shouted.

Huang Sibo came to Pei Qian with an excited expression. "President Pei, I never thought you would be playing such a big game! I admire you to the extreme!"

Lu Mingliang also said with emotion, "Yes, who would have thought that President Pei's casual instructions would have such a profound meaning!"

Ma Yiqun gave a thumbs up. "Strategizing in the command tent and winning a thousand miles away, that's President Pei!"

Pei Qian was surrounded by the crowd, his mind blank.

What were they talking about? Why couldn't he understand?

Pei Qian tried his best to remain calm. "What's wrong?"

Bao Xu came to Pei Qian. He, who was always calm and steady, was now filled with admiration.

"President Pei, you said before that we shouldn't reveal your true identity or Tenda's specific benefits and treatments to the outside world."

"At first, I only understood the first layer of meaning."

"I thought it was because you didn't want Tenda's high benefits to affect the overall environment of the domestic game industry."

"Now I realize that there's a second layer of meaning!"

"President Pei, look at this report!"

Bao Xu handed over his phone. On it was a news article: "A Closer Look at the Mysterious Tenda Games: A Utopia in the Domestic Game Industry!"

Pei Qian raised an eyebrow.

Damn it!

Who did this!

Quickly scanning the content of the report, Pei Qian breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Luckily, it wasn't a big deal!

The report didn't mention his real name or Tenda's specific benefits and treatments. The entire report didn't even mention who the interviewees were, so it had no credibility.

But so what about this report?

Was there any need to be so happy?

Seeing that Pei Qian had finished reading the report, Bao Xu couldn't wait to continue.

He wasn't a particularly showy person, but today, he really wanted to show off!

On the one hand, he hoped to get President Pei's approval.

On the other hand, he also hoped to share such a brilliant plan with everyone!

"President Pei, you deliberately concealed your true identity and Tenda's benefits and treatments. This tactic of creating a smokescreen is simply too brilliant!"

"Based on its high quality and unique 'performance art-style promotion,' 'Game Producer' has already established a reputation in the domestic game circle."

"And 'Pei Zong's Daily Life' has accumulated extremely high popularity in the short video field, sparking widespread discussion."

"But I really never expected that they were all part of your strategy!"

"'Game Producer' and 'Pei Zong's Daily Life' are like two raging flames, and you, President Pei, just lightly threw down a small spark, and it made them burn into an even bigger fire, and it's burning brighter and brighter!"

"This small spark is the previous smokescreen!"

"After this report came out, players and viewers of short videos suddenly developed an extremely strong interest in our company!"

"If it were a real report, perhaps their interest would soon fade."

"But this smokescreen report instantly triggered a large number of leaks, and with real and fake news mixed together, this topic instantly became a hit!"

"The topic of 'Tenda Games' has already been trending on Weibo, and a large number of curious onlookers are being drawn in. Some are being drawn to our existing games, and some are being drawn to the short videos!"

"In the past two days, the popularity of all our games has been rising, and even 'Lonely Desert Road' has seen a surge!"

"And the short videos are even more exaggerated. Each video has an average increase of 300,000 to 400,000 views, and countless people are curious about whether Tenda's boss is really like President Pei in the short videos!"

"I believe that the day President Pei's true identity is revealed will set off an even bigger wave!"

"I just don't know when President Pei is planning to drop this bombshell, maybe when the next game is released?"

"It's really exciting!"

Faced with the overwhelming praise, Pei Qian was dumbfounded.

What did this mean?

He thought he was already at rock bottom, that he couldn't be any more miserable, but... they had dug up his grave??
