He was just thinking about it when he heard a knock on the door.

He looked up and saw Meng Chang.

Obviously, it was the end of the month again. Meng Chang was going to calculate the commission.

Pei Qian took a look and handed the laptop to Meng Chang.

“That last move was a pity,” Pei Qian said.

The publicity plan for ‘Successor’ had been maintained very well. They had spent a lot of money, but the popularity had not risen. The rating had also fallen to 6 points.

All in all, they were fragmented.

According to the previous progress, Meng Chang might really be able to get a full commission if he maintained this state of spending money without making a splash after the second round of publicity.

Unfortunately, it was that Young Master Tian again.

This Young Master Tian really posted something.

Actually, Pei Qian had just mentioned it casually.

He said that Young Master Tian would definitely not post a video. At most, he would post a dynamic. More accurately, there was a very small chance that Young Master Tian would post a dynamic post.

That was because Pei Qian felt that it was too risky for Young Master Tian to get involved in this messy situation. The benefits were too low. It was not something a smart person should do.

However, he did not expect Young Master Tian to not only participate, but also take the bait!

The lethality was no less than posting a video.

Pei Qian was also very confused. Was this Young Master Tian crazy? Tengda did not give him money?

Why did he make ‘Successor’ an epochal masterpiece?

What’s more, he said that on the second day after ‘Successor’ finished playing, all debate about it would naturally disappear?

Pei Qian was very nervous. He searched for this date on Qiandu but could not find anything.

The search results were filled with content such as “What holiday is January 13th”, “January 13th calendar query”, “Analysis of the Destiny of the birthday on January 13th”, “What Constellation is January 13th”, and so on.

Every time this happened, Pei Qian would feel like saying something.

The first sentence was: Get lost!

The second sentence was: Trash Qiandu!

He hated the fact that the Useful App might be more useful now, but it was not completely useful. It could be imagined that for a long time in the future, Pei Qian would still say ‘rubbish Qiandu’.

Young Master Tian might have been a hateful riddler for once and the netizens had not guessed what special day January 13th was, but the popularity had been brought up.

Previously, many people had criticized ‘Successor’ online and gave it low ratings. This had aroused the disgust of many viewers or old readers who liked ‘Successor’. In addition, the official platform for the film reviewers who supported ‘Successor’ and Young Master Tian’s statement. The gunpowder between the two parties became stronger and more intense.

Young Master Tian’s simple dynamic could not reverse the situation, but it did add fuel to the fire.

Such a god-like statement attracted many people’s attention. The haters took this matter as a joke and mocked the people who supported ‘Successor’. They waited for January 13th to pass and nothing would happen. Then, they would continue to attack ‘Successor’ and start to party.

All in all, it was getting more and more popular.

This directly caused the commission that Meng Chang could get to shrink drastically to 76,000 yuan.

It was not bad compared to when he received the base salary previously. However, Young Master Tian’s dynamic had at least cut his commission by half after all. Those who did not have any psychological tolerance would not be able to withstand it.

Pei Qian felt that Meng Chang’s attitude towards Young Master Tian was most likely the same as his attitude towards Teacher Qiao.

Absolutely irreconcilable!

Thus, Pei Qian empathized with it and expressed his’ pity ‘from the bottom of his heart.

Meng Chang sighed silently. “That’s right, but there’s nothing we can do about it.”

The Pei family’s publicity method would not be perfect if he did not use Young Master Tian’s account to post any updates. He could only cut off more than half of the commission.

The two hundred thousand US dollars had already been spent on it. If the profits completely crushed this commission, the loss would still be more than a hundred thousand yuan!

It was impossible for Meng Chang to say that he did not feel pain at all.

However, after following Boss Pei for so long, Meng Chang had long learned the principle of giving up and obtaining something after repeated painful lessons.

After reading it from beginning to end, Meng Chang had no objections to the commission.

Pei Qian kept his laptop and said, “Choose one of the two publicity plans for next month. They are Shang Yang Games’ ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ and Tengda Games’ ‘Ghost General 2. I heard that the engineering samples for the steering wheel and hardware equipment have been produced. They are currently being mass-produced. There is already a DEMO for the game, but the complete version will be released in the middle of the month.”

“Ghost General 2 should be released at the end of next month or the beginning of next month.”

“The two projects are a little difficult this time. Go and inspect first.”

The difficulty level was mainly due to two considerations.

First, both of these were gaming projects. Tengda’s gaming project would definitely be very popular. It would be very difficult to suppress it.

While the gameplay of Safe and Civilized Driving was more boring and Pei Qian hoped to dissuade players with the gameplay, it did not seem safe to rely on this alone.

Second, the timing was relatively awkward.

Safe and Civilized Driving would be released in the middle of the month. At that time, the game, steering wheel, and other peripherals would be released. It would be too difficult to maintain a very low popularity before the end of the month.

On the other hand, even though Ghost General 2 was released at the end of the month, its biggest disadvantage was that it was a combat game. The game’s content itself was not much of a disadvantage. It was actually not easy to perform in reverse publicity.

Fortunately, Meng Chang was no longer the same Meng Chang as before. He was getting better at getting commissions.

Therefore, he decided to let Meng Chang choose himself.

Meng Chang hesitated for a moment before saying, “Boss Pei, I don’t want to choose either of them. I think these two games are very difficult to play.”

“Can I continue with the publicity plan for ‘Successor’?”

In Meng Chang’s opinion, it was not easy to publicize these two games with the Pei family’s publicity method.

That was because Tengda Games’ reputation was naturally good. It was difficult to suppress its popularity in the early stages. Once the game was released, it would definitely be filled with good reviews in less than three to five days.

Such a project basically had no use for the Pei family’s publicity method. He would not get any commission at all.

He might as well continue working on the publicity plan for ‘Successor’ instead.

There was a benefit to doing this: he could slightly hedge against the risks.

If ‘Successor’ became popular on the 13th, the commission for this month would definitely be gone. However, his 200,000 US dollars would be earned!

Who would care about the two hundred thousand yuan commission then?

If the worst case scenario happened, ‘Successor’ would not become popular on the 13th. Even though two hundred thousand US dollars would be wasted, the commission would definitely be full.

Compared to Safe and Civilized Driving and Ghost General 2, which had a negligible success rate, choosing to continue promoting ‘Successor’ was obviously more worth it.

What’s more, Meng Chang wanted to continue keeping an eye on the situation of ‘Successor’. He could adjust the publicity plan at any time and pull Young Master Tian out if necessary.

Meng Chang wanted to use the Pei family’s publicity method perfectly this time after learning it for so long.

On the other hand, the publicity plan for ‘Successor’ was only half done. Meng Chang wanted to make up for the other half.

If he were to completely use the Pei family’s publicity method on ‘Successor’, Meng Chang felt that his strength would definitely improve by a huge margin and undergo a qualitative change.

Pei Qian pondered for a moment and said, “Alright.”

He could not help but laugh inwardly. This Meng Chang was quite smart.

He knew that the publicity for the two games was difficult, so he wanted to continue fighting ‘Successor’.

Pei Qian had no objections to this because there were two purposes for letting Meng Chang do the publicity plan. The first was to lower the popularity of the project and reduce the chances of the project succeeding. The second was to burn more publicity funds.

The first goal could not be forced because the success or failure of the project mainly depended on the project itself. No matter how fragmented the publicity plan was, a good product would only temporarily suppress its popularity and make it unknown. It would still become popular later on.

Therefore, Pei Qian’s current expectations for Meng Chang were mainly on the second point.

It would be fine as long as Meng Chang could guarantee that the publicity funds would be wasted and that he would not be able to receive the response.

On the other hand, ‘Successor’ was already a sure failure from the current situation. It would be a waste to invest more publicity funds. Since that was the case, why not let Meng Chang continue burning money there to play?

In any case, it was all publicity funds. It would burn anywhere. Meng Chang felt that Successor was more confident. Pei Qian thought so too.

Meng Chang nodded. Boss Pei was still considered benevolent. He knew that he was not very proficient in the Pei family’s publicity method. He did not force himself to choose a difficult game project. Instead, he tacitly allowed himself to delay the middle difficulty racing track for another month.

Just as he was about to leave, Pei Qian recalled something else and stopped him.

“I have a question. I’m just asking. Speak your mind.”

“If… I mean if. Young Master Tian is in Tengda Corporation. Who do you think is most suitable to be Young Master Tian among Tengda’s employees?”

Pei Qian had been suspecting that Young Master Tian was hidden in Tengda, and that he might be Tian Mo.

However, the reason why he did not alert the perpetrator and send Tian Mo on Suffering Travels was mainly because he felt that this might be a gang crime. Someone had edited Tian Mo’s video and edited the proposal.

After all, Young Master Tian’s video was too exquisite. It did not seem like Tian Mo could make it alone.

However, he could not let it drag on like this. Tian Mo was not in Jingzhou now. He had gone overseas to open a new experience shop. The sky was high and the emperor was far away. It was unrealistic for Pei Qian to want to observe and catch him.

Pei Qian felt that it was better to listen concisely and to listen in secret. Perhaps he would be able to gain something if he were to communicate with others?

Meng Chang was the only good brother in the entire company who had the same goal as him. He had also been investigating Young Master Tian and had already deduced his character and character in reality. Naturally, he was the first to ask.

Meng Chang was stunned when he heard this question.

He was confused..
