Chapter 41 A Blind Spot

April 15th, Sunday, 8:00 AM.

Pei Qian stared blankly at the computer screen, his right hand stiffly scrolling the mouse wheel and clicking, browsing the web page after page.

He hadn't slept well last night, because the news about "Mission and Choice" and the "Fantasy Battle Remake" was overwhelming, giving him a very heavy blow.

All night, Pei Qian tossed and turned, and as soon as he closed his eyes, those terrible comments on the Internet lingered in his ears.

"Mission and Choice" crushes "Fantasy Battle Remake!"

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river!" (fortune changes constantly)

"The disgrace of national games has become the light of national games, must buy it like crazy!"

"I'm refunding 'Fantasy Battle Remake' to buy 'Mission and Choice'!"

He didn't sleep well all night, and when he woke up in the morning, Pei Qian still couldn't accept this fact.

"How could such a trash game be remade?"

"It doesn't make sense at all!"

Others couldn't figure out why "Fantasy Battle Remake" could be so terrible, but Pei Qian couldn't figure it out even more!

But such an outrageous thing happened, who can he reason with?

"Ding."

The phone on the table rang. Pei Qian picked it up and saw that it was a message from He An.

The old man was very health-conscious and always went to bed early and got up early. Obviously, he had just learned about the news of "Fantasy Battle Remake" not long ago.

He An seemed very excited and sent several voice messages in a row.

"Good job, President Pei! Could it be that the terrible state of 'Fantasy Battle Remake' was also within your plan?"

"Otherwise, why would you dare to confidently release 'Mission and Choice' and 'Fantasy Battle Remake' on the same day?"

"Well, now that I think about it, there were some signs of the failure of 'Fantasy Battle Remake'. I could see some clues from before."

"For example, the few games released in recent years have been getting worse and worse, gradually losing the reputation of 'every product must be a masterpiece'; when dealing with player feedback, they seem very arrogant, always 'teaching players how to play the game'..."

"Moreover, 'Fantasy Battle Remake' always concealed information when disclosing information before, and there were some negative news."

"It's just that everyone trusted this game too much, so they ignored these small negative information and wishfully thought that this game would continue the classic..."

"Could it be that President Pei, you can judge that 'Fantasy Battle Remake' is very likely to fail, and it is a complete failure, just based on this information? So you advanced the release date of 'Mission and Choice' to this day?"

"Wait, the schedule is so coincidental, could it be that you had already considered it from the beginning when you decided on the game type and theme? Although the news of the release of 'Fantasy Battle Remake' was only announced last month, various rumors had already spread before. Did you estimate the approximate release time of this game and determine the development time of 'Mission and Choice'..."

He An was old and typed very slowly, but sending voice messages was very fast. One message after another quickly filled the screen.

And from his tone, it could be heard that he was very excited.

A domestic game actually defeated "Fantasy Battle Remake" head-on, and it was a complete crushing in all aspects. What a proud thing for domestic game developers!

In the era when they were active, this was simply unimaginable!

Of course, the reason why it could be crushed head-on was mainly because "Fantasy Battle Remake" was too terrible, it was simply the worst of the worst, but no matter what, it was crushed.

What's more, the quality of "Mission and Choice" is good enough!

He An originally thought that "Mission and Choice" would definitely fail when it collided with "Fantasy Battle Remake", but now he found that it was the other party who failed, and all the popularity was absorbed by "Mission and Choice"!

Thinking back to President Pei's confident and secretive appearance before, He An instantly felt that everything seemed to be within President Pei's plan.

Pei Qian's expression became even more dazed as he listened to the voice messages sent by He An.

What are you talking about!

Are you senile? The game type and theme were all questions I asked you, and you personally decided on them!

How did it become part of my plan again?

I can take the blame for the success of the game, but the choice of game type and theme has nothing to do with me!

Pei Qian immediately replied, "How is that possible? Didn't you decide the game type, game theme, story background, and even some design details?"

He An quickly replied, "President Pei, don't be so modest. Now that I recall the scene at that time, you must have used a special psychological suggestion technique, right?"

"You asked what the most unpopular game type is now, and at the same time, Tengda just hasn't developed an RTS game, so I subconsciously directed my thinking to the RTS type!"

"The content afterwards is also similar. President Pei, you have already thought about the design details of the game, but you insist on saying a seemingly easier plan, deliberately inducing me to say a more difficult plan, but in fact, you have already planned the most difficult plan!"

"So, on the surface, it was me who determined the general framework and many details of 'Mission and Choice', but in fact, it was under your step-by-step guidance and psychological suggestion that these details were determined."

"Otherwise, how could you make such a successful game just by concentrating all the elements of failure? It doesn't make sense at all!"

He An said very firmly, as if he had completely seen through Pei Qian's despicable little thoughts.

However, Pei Qian's mouth opened slightly, and he was simply speechless.

"What the heck..."

He An's barrage of analysis directly stunned Pei Qian, and he couldn't even think of how to refute it for a while.

Obviously, in He An's mind, he had already adjusted Pei Qian's level to an infinitely high level, and no matter how Pei Qian explained, it would be useless.

He An continued, "Although I was tricked by you again, I'm still very happy! I didn't expect you to really be able to turn decay into magic and reverse the situation after concentrating these inevitable elements of failure!"

"I am sincerely happy that such a genius as you can appear in domestic games! I won't say more, I have already bought the tickets, and today I will invite a few of my old friends to watch 'Mission and Choice' for the second time!"

Pei Qian: "..."

Hopeless.

The movie and game of "Mission and Choice" became popular together. Players wanted to watch the plot of the movie again, and those who had seen the movie wanted to download the game to play...

The players gained double the happiness, leaving President Pei with only double the pain.

Pei Qian stood up and walked around the living room quickly twice.

"I can't go on like this, I have to find a way to remedy it."

"Judging from the current situation, the game and movie are likely to be popular. It will take some time for the box office revenue of the movie to arrive, but the game revenue will arrive soon..."

"The money I spent before will soon be rolled back, and I have to find another way to spend it!"

"But starting a new industry seems a bit too late. There are still more than three months before the settlement, and starting a new industry is likely to trigger more chain reactions and induce a greater crisis..."

"The matter of jointly establishing a game department with Shenhua Group can be considered, it should be able to spend a sum of money."

"Is there any other way..."

"What departments does Tengda still lack now?"

Pei Qian turned around again, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"I have it, a sales department!"

"Tengda doesn't have a sales department yet!"

Pei Qian suddenly found a blind spot.

He has always disdained the sales department, because for a company like Tengda, he doesn't plan to sell any products at all, and he can't even hide them in time, so what's the use of a sales department?

But Pei Qian suddenly thought that setting up a sales department doesn't necessarily mean selling!

Under the banner of the sales department, spending the funds of the sales department, but actually doing the work of persuading customers to quit, how great!

"I'm simply a genius!"

Pei Qian suddenly didn't feel so bad anymore, because he suddenly thought of a good way to spend money!
