Chapter 1542 The Truth Will Inevitably Come Out!

The investors present were all shocked.

Good heavens, President Li's ability to show off has increased again!

Inadvertently, they were shown up again. How annoying!

He revealed such a big secret so casually.

"What's going on? President Pei arranged everything? *Shu Li* is a project invested in by President Pei? What exactly is going on?"

"Something's not right. If *Shu Li* is a project invested in by President Pei, why is the Anti-Tengda Alliance using this game as a weapon? Are they short-circuiting their brains? Isn't this slapping themselves in the face?"

"If *Shu Li* is President Pei's project, then why didn't anyone say so? Is there any need to keep this a secret?!"

The investors were all shocked, both surprised and a little incredulous.

So this whole thing, after all the fuss, was a huge blunder made by the Anti-Tengda Alliance??

Li Shi smiled slightly: "If President Pei had made it clear from the beginning that he invested in *Shu Li*, would the Anti-Tengda Alliance have taken the bait?"

"President Pei is like Jiang Taigong fishing, waiting for those who are willing to be hooked!"

"It can't be blamed on the Anti-Tengda Alliance for being too stupid. To be honest, before I looked through the internal data of Dream Chasing Venture Capital, I couldn't have imagined that President Pei was really the investor in *Shu Li*!"

"After all, according to normal thinking, this is a supportive investment, and the risk and return are completely disproportionate. Making this kind of investment is not for profit, but more for fame, and it must be publicized everywhere."

"But President Pei really didn't intend to publicize it, requiring the entire investment project to be strictly confidential. Even when the Anti-Tengda Alliance was attacking it frantically, President Pei remained calm and didn't reveal anything. He's so composed, so much like a great general!"

"As for why it was kept secret, there can be many interpretations."

"Perhaps President Pei is indifferent to fame and fortune, doesn't want to pursue this kind of false reputation, and doesn't want to elevate Tengda too high and turn it into a moral model."

"Or perhaps President Pei had already foreseen that one day, some people with ulterior motives would attack Tengda with similar excuses, so he arranged a backup plan in advance."

One investor was surprised: "Could President Pei have such divine foresight? He invested in *Shu Li*, and the people from the Anti-Tengda Alliance just happened to see *Shu Li* and used it to attack Tengda?"

Li Shi shook his head: "I think there should be an element of luck in this."

"First of all, if the people from the Anti-Tengda Alliance used other games to attack Tengda, Tengda could also use *Shu Li* to counterattack, proving that it truly invested in and supported promising domestic games. The reason for not investing in the other project was because they felt that the quality of the project was average or did not align with Tengda's philosophy."

"In short, with *Shu Li* as a benchmark, the accusation that Tengda doesn't invest in domestic games naturally becomes untenable."

"Secondly, there are not many excellent domestic single-player projects, and even fewer outstanding projects. The excellent quality of *Shu Li* makes it stand out among many domestic games. It's like bait; it's too attractive, and it's difficult for the Anti-Tengda Alliance not to notice it!"

"Finally, and most importantly: Tengda's investment in *Shu Li* came first, providing it with start-up funds, creating a game demo, and achieving certain results, which is why it was noticed by the Anti-Tengda Alliance!"

"The companies in the Anti-Tengda Alliance all have one characteristic: they can only add icing to the cake, never help in times of need. Sometimes, they don't even add icing to the cake; they just forcibly cut in line to pick the fruit when they see it's almost ripe."

"For them, if *Shu Li* only had an initial design draft, they would never invest in it. Only when *Shu Li* has achieved results and sees the hope of success will they come closer."

"Therefore, *Shu Li* is a huge bait. Under this temptation, it is almost inevitable that the Anti-Tengda Alliance will take the bait!"

"The companies in the Anti-Tengda Alliance all thought that Yan Qi's team used the money earned from the mobile game *Empire's Blade* to develop *Shu Li*. They didn't expect that there was really an investor behind Yan Qi's team who dared to take responsibility!"

After listening to Li Shi's explanation, the investors were all filled with emotion.

Brilliant, truly brilliant!

President Pei's move of "Jiang Taigong fishing, waiting for those who are willing to be hooked" really caught the fish of the Anti-Tengda Alliance!

"So... President Pei is really far-sighted and visionary!"

"Even if this isn't purely predictive reasoning ability, it's at least a deep insight into the current situation and a very deep understanding of the companies in the Anti-Tengda Alliance that allows him to make such advanced judgments!"

"No wonder President Li, you said that Dream Chasing Venture Capital is boring. Every time you encounter a problem, you can always find a solution that President Pei left behind. It really lacks some challenge!"

"By the way, President Li, this information should still be confidential, right? Is it okay to tell us?"

The investors had a big scoop and were satisfied.

Li Shi smiled slightly: "Actually, it's only a matter of time before this news spreads. Last month, the Enterprise Credit Information Disclosure System went online. Tengda's layout in the independent game incubation base, Morning Dew Game Platform, and *Shu Li* project team through Dream Chasing Venture Capital can no longer be hidden!"

"I think it's precisely for this reason that President Pei didn't choose to release the news himself to slap the Anti-Tengda Alliance in the face."

"Because it's more lethal to have someone else break the news!"

"The hotter this matter gets, the more people will want to find out the truth, and someone will always find the real investor behind *Shu Li* through this public disclosure system."

"So, Tengda is not worried at all now. No matter how big the storm outside is, President Pei is just sitting tight on the fishing platform. Because the bigger the storm, the more miserable the Anti-Tengda Alliance will lose in the end. It looks like they are firing all arrows at Tengda, but in reality, they are just being used by President Pei to borrow arrows with straw boats!"

As Li Shi was speaking, his phone vibrated.

He picked it up and a smile appeared on his face.

"Look! I said that someone would find out about this sooner or later, and here it is!"

The two investors next to him immediately leaned over curiously.

Li Shi smiled triumphantly: "I'll forward it to you."

Although he didn't plan this layout like President Pei, and didn't even participate in it, he was still a part of this layout by taking over halfway. Being able to see such a brilliant prediction, Li Shi felt very proud.

The investors took out their phones one after another to check the content forwarded by Li Shi.

It turned out to be a special report on *Shu Li* from the official game platform!

This special report looked quite impressive and was directly placed in the most conspicuous position on the official game platform, making it difficult to miss.

Of course, what Li Shi forwarded was not the original report from the official game platform, but a secondary repost from other media.

Because the reports on the official platform are all posted on the platform and can only be seen after logging in. But this news was so explosive that as soon as it was released, it was reposted by various media, and it spread all over the internet in an instant!

...

The title of the interview was: Exclusive Interview with Yan Qi, Producer of *Shu Li*: Carefully Protect the Flame in Your Heart. Once You Encounter Fuel, It Will Naturally Burn into a Prairie Fire!

The first half of the interview was generally relatively conventional, simply describing Yan Qi's journey as a game producer and his career.

He loved action games very much in his youth, and he always had the dream of "making excellent domestic action games" in his heart. After graduation, he resolutely entered the game industry, but the dream was too far away, and he had to make mobile games first, work as a wage earner, and then become a producer himself in order to make a living.

Although *Empire's Blade* achieved commercial success, material things did not stop him from striving, but made him more eager for his original dream. The money earned from *Empire's Blade* did not become a burden to him, but instead became an aid for him to take off.

And this is exactly what the title says: Carefully protect the flame in your heart, don't let it go out, and when the conditions are right, it will naturally burn brightly.

If you only look at the first half, this is a fairly conventional interview.

After all, Yan Qi's experience can be said to be the epitome of many domestic game producers. Although there are leaps, the overall progress is very solid, step by step, and everyone's route is not much different.

The key lies in the second half.

"When talking about the game *Shu Li*, Yan Qi said that the game has external sources of inspiration, and the help and support of investors is the fundamental driving force that allows him to develop this game to the extreme at all costs. Otherwise, the money earned from *Empire's Blade* is not enough to support him to develop *Shu Li* to the extreme..."

When the interview draft reached here, it became a bit strange.

Because the content suddenly became vague!

Yan Qi repeatedly mentioned external help in the interview, but he did not specify where this external help came from.

Sources of inspiration and sources of funding were not explained in detail, but the Morning Dew Game Platform was praised and praised for providing him with help.

Everyone was a little puzzled. Is this even an interview?

After interviewing for so long, nothing was gained at all!

Why not ask clearly about such important information? Or rather, why put these vague and ambiguous things in the report at all?

Are you playing riddles and teasing everyone?

Could professional reporters from the official platform also make such low-level mistakes?

Although it felt a little outrageous, the content of this exclusive interview was not over yet, so everyone continued to read patiently.

Until the end of the interview, Yan Qi didn't say what the sources of inspiration and funding for *Shu Li* were. He kept his mouth shut.

However, Yan Qi didn't say it, but that doesn't mean the article didn't write it!

After all the interview content was over, there was one last paragraph in the interview article.

"When talking about this mysterious investor, Yan Qi's face always beamed with an uncontrollable smile, but he never revealed it."

"However, the Enterprise Credit Information Disclosure Platform was just launched last month. As long as you check it on there, the truth will naturally come to light."

"The author sincerely hopes that there will be more companies that can contribute to domestic games in a down-to-earth and genuine manner, and fewer companies that stir up conflicts, launch attacks, and use helping domestic games to carry out moral kidnappings!"

"Although the eyes of the masses are occasionally deceived by carefully crafted illusions, the eyes of the masses are ultimately discerning. All the vile tricks of petty people will eventually melt away under the sunshine, and the truth will inevitably come out!"
