August 3rd, Wednesday.

Feihuang Studio.

Huang Sibo returned to his long-absent office, feeling as if he had been away for a lifetime.

Feihuang Studio, fully revived!

After receiving President Pei’s order and entering a state of “suspended animation,” everyone was indeed confused for a while. But soon, they analyzed the true meaning of President Pei’s “shock therapy.”

It was to save their “severely imbalanced” mental state!

So, Director Zhu Xiaoce arranged learning tasks for everyone. Everyone signed up for the advanced director training course for on-the-job postgraduates at Handong University, with classes on Saturdays and Sundays, lasting for two years.

At the same time, Director Zhu Xiaoce also arranged other supplementary learning tasks, such as analyzing and studying a film every day, reading a book on film and television every week, writing reading notes, and exchanging experiences.

After this period of study, everyone deeply realized the importance of “shock therapy!”

Before, no one felt that they had a mental imbalance.

After all, they had just climbed to the peak, creating a critically acclaimed and commercially successful film like *A Better Tomorrow*, and were being praised in every possible way. Even if they were getting a bit cocky, no one wanted to admit it.

But as the saying goes, if one's virtue doesn't match their position, there will be misfortune.

If this mentality of "seemingly easily and naturally achieving success" spread, coupled with the depletion of their inspiration and unstable foundation, their next film would likely fall from grace!

Flying too high often means that the goal also becomes higher, but in reality, they simply don't have the matching ability, and the result can only be a terrible fall.

But now, after shock therapy, everyone's mentality has changed.

First of all, in terms of mentality, everyone is more down-to-earth.

After studying these professional knowledge, they realized that their foundation was not solid, and they had not mastered many basic concepts. They realized that they had only created a popular work by chance, and there was still a huge gap compared with the truly top film production teams.

Secondly, they replenished their inspiration.

After this period of accumulation and precipitation, everyone had many ideas, but these ideas may not really be usable.

As creators, they often encounter the situation of "feeling good about themselves." They are particularly happy when they think of a new idea, and the more they think about it, the more satisfied they are. But after putting it aside for a while and looking back, they find that the idea is not good.

The reason why they felt so obsessed with the idea at the time was just an illusion.

In most cases, there are only two ways to break this illusion:

Either a higher-level creator wakes you up, or after a long enough time, you can re-examine these ideas with a more calm and objective mind and re-evaluate them.

So, after this period of precipitation, everyone accumulated some good ideas that have stood the test, and their inspiration reserves have been replenished.

As a result, everyone's desire to fight is unprecedentedly high!

They can't wait to start a brainstorming session now and finalize the direction of the next film.

Looking at the colleagues who had returned from “suspended animation” and were full of energy, Huang Sibo couldn't help but sigh. President Pei really had the power to bring the dead back to life!

Speaking of President Pei, it seems that he should report the current situation to him.

Although President Pei certainly remembers the date when Feihuang Studio’s “suspended animation” ended, Huang Sibo felt that it would be better to remind him. It’s not that he doesn’t trust President Pei’s memory, but simply wants to show President Pei that everyone is now full of fighting spirit and can undertake any work task.

Thinking of this, Huang Sibo immediately dialed President Pei’s phone.

…

Pei Qian was in Mo Yu Internet Cafe, drinking coffee and sorting out mind maps.

Several more lines had been added around Mo Yu Takeaway, making Pei Qian look worried.

The phone on the table vibrated.

Seeing that it was Huang Sibo calling, Pei Qian suddenly shook all over and instantly remembered something.

Crap!

It seems that the suspended animation time of Feihuang Studio has arrived!

Because the arrangement for Feihuang Studio to enter suspended animation was in the last cycle, Pei Qian didn't know how long this settlement cycle would be at that time, so he made a decision on a whim.

As a result, this settlement cycle was longer than before, so the settlement cycle had not yet arrived, and Feihuang Studio had ended its suspended animation state ahead of schedule!

What to do?

Pei Qian is now very worried that Feihuang Studio will start doing things with full confidence. There are less than two months left before the settlement. If Feihuang Studio spreads its stall too large and fails to complete it during the settlement, it will lead to a delayed settlement!

Because the only delayed settlement spot in this cycle has been given to Otto Technologies to build a mobile phone image laboratory.

"Calm down."

"Just stabilize them with your silver tongue."

Pei Qian quickly calmed down. After all, fooling employees is just an easy+ mode compared to losing money. He can do it without thinking.

Pei Qian answered the phone: "Hello?"

Huang Sibo's excited voice came from the other end of the phone: "President Pei, Feihuang Studio has officially started work!"

"Your 'shock therapy' is very effective. Everyone is now full of inspiration and energy. We are about to start a brainstorming session to decide what to film next!"

"I don't know when you have time, can you come and guide us?"

Pei Qian was shocked.

They are sharpening their knives!

These people want to make a movie?

Definitely not. There are less than two months left for settlement, and the script has not even been finalized yet. It is definitely impossible to release it before the settlement. If it really starts filming, I will have wasted all my efforts in this cycle!

Because after the settlement date of each cycle is set, Pei Qian will try his best to achieve a balance between profit and loss according to this date, and spend money in a surprise attack when the settlement period is approaching, so as to create losses.

Once the date changes and a inexplicable payment arrives suddenly, it will be difficult to create this state of loss again.

What's more, delayed settlement means that the next cycle will come later, and the initial system funds and other data will not be refreshed.

Therefore, delayed settlement is something that Pei Qian absolutely does not allow. He would rather make money than delay.

Pei Qian quickly thought about countermeasures.

"You, don't make a movie."

Huang Sibo was stunned: "Uh... then make a web series?"

Pei Qian: "Don't make a web series either. Don't bother with any projects that take a long time. Just do some small projects and make sure they are completed before September 20th."

Huang Sibo was a little puzzled: "Ah? President Pei, only do small projects? Is there any deep meaning? We are now in a stage of inspiration explosion. Doing small projects seems to be a waste of this state..."

Pei Qian was speechless. These people are really too active!

There is no way, he has to increase the strength of his flickering.

Pei Qian said in a deep voice: "Do you know what 'suspended animation' means? You have just recovered from suspended animation, and you must not do strenuous exercise!"

"You think your body is strong and full of energy, but in fact your body is still very weak and needs to recover slowly and rest slowly, understand?"

"First find some small projects to do, practice your hands, warm up, and then do big projects after everyone regains their working state."

Huang Sibo suddenly understood: "I see! I understand, President Pei."

"Then, we will find small projects ourselves!"

"Thank you for your guidance, President Pei!"

After hanging up the phone, Pei Qian breathed a sigh of relief.

It's done.

Let Feihuang Studio do a small project casually. There is only less than a month in total. He doesn't think there will be too much destructive power. At most, he will make a short film and post it on Aili Island. At most, he will earn hundreds of thousands of yuan, which is not a big problem.

This little money will be spent as soon as it is scattered.

Pei Qian now has a money-burning tree in his hand. With ioi's sudden spending spree in the national server, a mere hundreds of thousands of yuan is really nothing.

After solving Feihuang Studio, Pei Qian felt a little relieved and continued to busy himself with his own affairs.

More than ten minutes later, a figure pushed open the door and entered Mo Yu Internet Cafe, looking hurried.

He Desheng was holding a document in his hand. After entering the Internet cafe, he looked around for President Pei's location and found it as expected.

"President Pei!"

He Desheng almost ran all the way and sat down opposite President Pei.

Pei Qian had already closed the mind map and handed the computer to the waiter at Mo Yu Internet Cafe.

"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry? Can't you say it on the phone?" Pei Qian signaled the waiter to get He Desheng a drink.

He Desheng wiped the sweat from his forehead: "President Pei, this matter can't be explained on the phone."

"In short, it's about the Daoyak Group!"

Pei Qian didn't care: "Oh, you told them my two words as they are?"

He Desheng nodded: "I told them."

Pei Qian: "What was their reaction?"

He Desheng: "They seemed very angry."

Pei Qian smiled, which is understandable.

A multinational giant was directly replied "f**koff" by Tenda, a game company that is not well-known in the world. It is normal to be angry.

But, what can you do to me?

You can't do anything to me.

As the saying goes, a cliff stands tall because it has no desires.

First of all, Tenda is located across the ocean, and almost all of its business has no intersection with Daoyak Group;

Secondly, Tenda is not listed and does not accept foreign investment;

Finally, President Pei is basically not interested in the company's income, unless you give me tens of billions.

More optimistically, if Daoyak Group can really make Tenda lose money, then Pei Qian will have to give it a big red envelope and thank it.

I am invincible, what is there to worry about?

Pei Qian calmly took a sip of coffee: "They were very angry, and then what?"

He Desheng gave a thumbs up: "Then they were really hooked as expected!"

Pei Qian stopped halfway through his coffee, and a question mark slowly floated above his head.

?

What does it mean that they were "really" hooked?

Where is the "really"?

What did they get hooked on?

From He Desheng's expression, Pei Qian smelled a hint of ominousness.

Originally, Pei Qian thought that He Desheng was running over in a hurry because of some serious situation that made him sweat so much.

But now, taking a closer look, his expression seems to be... very excited?

He Desheng handed the document in his hand to President Pei and explained excitedly: "President Pei, your trick of aggressive tactics is really wonderful!"

"It can be compared to Kong Ming's wise stimulation of Zhou Gongjin!"

"Originally, Daoyak Group was only willing to pay 50 million dollars to buy our shares and the right to operate ioi in the national server, but your two words instantly angered them!"

"Our resolute attitude makes it impossible for them to recover all the shares through conventional means."

"So, Daoyak Group decided to forcibly recover all the shares of Finger Company through a privatization offer!"

"In order to complete 100% control, Daoyak Group is simply disregarding the cost. First, it acquired nearly 80% of the shares of Finger Company at a high price, so that it can pass the offer by voting by the majority shareholders and forcibly purchase the remaining small number of shares!"

"However, this also means that Daoyak Group must pay an additional premium of 50% to 60% on the original price to acquire the part of the shares we hold, and this is almost a value that no normal stock transaction negotiation can achieve!"

"Daoyak Group is rich and powerful, and it is obviously stimulated by your 'aggressive tactics', President Pei, and it is willing to take this big bleeding method to seize our 20% shares and the right to operate the national server!"

Pei Qian's hand holding the coffee froze, his mind blank.

What the hell?

Privatization offer?

What is that?

You can forcibly buy my shares even if I don't sell them?

He was silent for a moment and asked, "So, how much money did they finally pay?"

He Desheng said excitedly: "They finally paid 72 million dollars, President Pei!"

"Compared with the price when President Ma bought the shares, we made a net profit of 70 million dollars! Five hundred million!!"
