< About to reevaluate the value of fixed assets… >
< System Funds: 1,220,000 + 34,110,000 + 15,000,000 (| 9,670,000) >
< Fixed Assets: 341.08 million >
< Infrastructural Projects: 1.5 billion yuan >
< Click to unfold details of Fixed Assets and Infrastructure Project >
Pei Qian did not click on the details of the fixed assets because Tengda did not buy much buildings during this cycle. Sloth Apartments had become a rental model. It would not be displayed on the fixed assets.
The situation with fixed assets was similar to the previous cycle. They had increased slightly.
‘The infrastructure project was Tengda’s construction headquarters. It would be converted into a fixed quota in the System Funds in a 100: 1 ratio.
Pei Qian had been in a good mood at first. However, he could not remain calm after seeing the specific number.
“That’s not right. I had narrowly reduced the System Funds to 1,220,000 yuan, but it only dropped by nine million yuan? Isn’t the starting sum as high as 60 million yuan this week? Where did my starting sum go?”
“60 million – 1.22 million – 34.11 million – 15 million… alright, the system is not wrong, I was stupid.”
Pei Qian nearly fainted on the spot.
He had been burning money with fixed assets. Now, he was finally suffering the consequences!
There were indeed 60 million yuan in the starting sum of the System Funds, but there were more than 300 million yuan in fixed assets. Coupled with a headquarters building of more than a billion yuan, even though the proportion of conversion was low, it still squeezed the upper limit of the loss to a lot.
However, he had no choice. He would take it one step at a time!
In fact, Pei Qian was already very restrained with the money of the headquarters building. Many large companies’ buildings were done in three billion to five billion yuan. Even the large companies’ headquarters buildings overseas were worth billions of US dollars.
However, Tengda’s situation was more special. Those headquarters buildings were basically in the prosperous areas of first-tier cities. The land prices were very high. Tengda’s buildings were in the old industrial zone in Jingzhou. The land prices were very cheap and there were some preferential policies.
After restraint, he made 1.5 billion yuan. That also made Pei Qian lose 15 million yuan less. If he made three billion yuan, Pei Qian probably would not be able to make a loss at all.
Previously, he had decided to spend a lot of money to build a building. Now, seeing the final outcome, he felt an inexplicable sense of regret.
It was not worth it!
‘The system screen continued rolling.
«Settlement in progress…>
< System Funds: 1,220,000 + 34,110,000 + 15,000,000 (| 9,670,000) >
< Fixed Assets: 341.08 million >
< Infrastructural Projects: 1.5 billion yuan >
< Personal Wealth: 5,190,000 (| 970,000 x 10%) >
< If you convert more than 800,000 yuan per cycle, you will receive a mysterious reward with a huge impact (available to be received now) >
< Unfinished project for now: The zoo project must be officially opened for business during the next cycle. >
Pei Qian could not help but snicker when he saw his Personal Wealth.
It’s a good thing that I’m better!
His Personal Wealth should have been hovering around 3.7 million yuan but Pei Qian could now earn extra money!
Boss Pei earned about tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yuan a month from Tengda, including the income from GOG’s Literary Genius of the Winds, Ruan’s skin. The most important thing was that the bonus for Bullet Hole 2 had reached more than four hundred thousand yuan!
Bullet Hole 2 had just been released, and there were not many players yet. In the future, there should be more bonuses, and they would be there every month.
Comparatively, the System did not make the most of the money converted.
“Hmph, did you see that? Even without the money converted by your system, I can still make my own villa!”
“If your system continues to cheat me, I won’t think about how to incur losses anymore. Leave everything to fate and focus on earning extra money!”
“Hmm… I’ll accept the mysterious reward first.”
After showing off for a while, Pei Qian decided to accept the reward first.
< Mysterious reward: The starting sum for the next stage will be doubled. >
< The starting sum has been increased to: 200 million yuan. >
“Hm?
Pei Qian’s eyes lit up, and he forgot all about his complaints about the system.
It was meaningless to have 60 million yuan in the starting sum. However, if it was 200 million yuan, they could have a good chat!
‘That was because the fixed assets and infrastructure projects alone already occupied about 50 million yuan. If the initial funds were to lose 60 million yuan completely, they would only lose 10 million yuan and convert 1 million yuan into their Personal Wealth.
However, if he were to lose 200 million yuan, he would be able to convert… 15 million yuan!
At that thought, Pei Qian suddenly became excited.
Tm sorry, system. I blamed you wrongly!
Pei Qian pondered for a moment. The money that he had earned so quickly was not good enough for the system.
However, no matter what, his Personal Wealth had reached more than five million yuan!
Not only that, there would be bonuses for Bullet Hole 2 in the future. That meant Pei Qian had two more units.
To Pei Qian, it was considered complete. His initial goal was to build a huge villa to live in. He had no other requests.
With the current sum of money, it would not be a problem to buy a villa in Jingzhou.
Even if they considered follow-up renovations, furnitures, and the like, Bullet Hole 2’s bonus could be covered.
At first, Pei Qian thought that he could slack off. However, when he saw that there were 200 million yuan in the initial limit of this cycle, he suddenly had the idea of one last job.
Look, wouldn’t it be great if he could earn 15 million yuan at once?!
Pei Qian was suddenly filled with motivation once again. He had to make the system bleed once!
‘The system screen continued rolling and loaded the information for the next cycle.
< Next Settlement: 10 months later. >
< System Funds will be topped up. Target amount: 200 million >
< Topping up the System Funds… >
«System Funds topping up completed.>
< System Funds: 200 million + 3411 million + 15 million >
< Fixed Assets: 341.08 million >
< Infrastructural Projects: 1.5 billion yuan >
< Personal Wealth: 5,190,000 >
< Detailed Permanent Reward regulations: Click to unfold >
< Unfinished project for now: The zoo project must be officially opened for business during the next cycle. >
The details of the reward for permanent residence here were actually that the conversion quota would increase by 10%, 50% of the initial System Funds could be used for charity, and if the wealth conversion value reached more than 800,000 yuan, there could be a mysterious reward, consumed personal
property to increase the profit quota, and so on. There was still no change from before, so the system automatically kept it. Pei Qian could open it when he wanted to.
After completing the settlement once again, Pei Qian felt much better.
It felt like the beauty was coming tomorrow!
“Yes, this month’s goal is to arrange the main industries first. Then, he will go into seclusion and write the thesis.”
“As usual, we’ll settle the gaming department first.”
“Tcan rest for a while after I finish this ticket. I have to prove that I can incur losses by making games this time!”
Pei Qian’s obsession with the games department was no longer about losing money or earning money. After all, he had found various other ways to lose money.
His obsession was, why can’t I create a failed game? That doesn’t make sense!
Even Bullet Hole 2 was making money. That was ridiculous.
Of course, the outcome of Bullet Hole 2 was good.
However, when the new cycle arrived, it meant that Tengda Games, Shang Yang Games, and Slow Movement Studio, these three troublesome stubborn people, had to think of ways to start eating again.
Fortunately, Pei Qian learned from his experience and thought of a new method.
If he relied on the games department to incur losses this time, it would be a success. It would put a perfect end to his loss-making life!
If the games department still could not incur losses and still profited… then… it would be a perfect end. It would be a perfect end for Boss Pei, the epochal game designer.
“Tl go to Slow Movement Studio to take a look first, and then consider Tengda Games and Shang Yang Games.”
“After all, Slow Movement Studio’s situation is special. I can look for inspiration first.”
Pei Qian felt that these three hard bones were divided into priority. Slow Movement Studio would go first.
That was because Slow Movement Studio was relatively independent. Lin Wan might have her own thoughts. Pei Qian had to guide them and could not forcefully arrange for them to make a game.
As for Tengda Games and Shang Yang Games, they were much more free and could be controlled however they wanted.
Once he arranged all the industries for this cycle, Pei Qian could consider writing the thesis steadily. Then, he could take more than ten million yuan from the system and live a happy life without any shame.
At that thought, Pei Qian immediately moved, preparing to make a trip to Slow Movement Studio!
March 1st, Friday.
Pei Qian came to Slow Movement Studio.
“Boss Pei! You came at the right time. They are all discussing the new game in the conference room. There is no conclusion now since there is no point in arguing. Please give them some pointers!”
Slow Movement Studio’s front desk also recognized Boss Pei. It was as if they had seen family when they saw him.
Pei Qian was very happy. Eh, what a coincidence!
It’s just as well. What new game do you want me to create, Kangkang?
Lin Wan, Cai Jiadong, and the other major designers were all present in the conference room. However, they were all a little listless, and the atmosphere was not particularly enthusiastic.
Obviously, everyone had just gone through a few brainstorms. Their brains had been hollowed out after the storm, but there were no results from the storm. That was why they were in this state.
Everyone looked pleasantly surprised to see their “savior’, Boss Pei.
“Eh, Boss Pei!”
“That’s great, Boss Pei! Please take a seat!”
“Boss Pei, give us some pointers!”
Lin Wan immediately vacated the middle seat for Pei Qian. Pei Qian sat down reluctantly, chuckling inwardly.
These people from Slow Movement Studio are still too kind. You can’t judge a book by its cover. They don’t know that I’m actually a bad person!
Hmph, after what I did this time, I’ll definitely make a game that won’t make money!
Of course, he would not make them incur too much losses. He would just barely recoup their costs.
Pei Qian’s heart was filled with killing intent. On the surface, he still looked warm. “What game are you planning to create this time?”
Lin Wan said, “Boss Pei, we plan to create a game related to clothing!”
“Clothing, food, accommodation, and transportation. Tengda has already touched on the last three parts. However, it has not made any attempt in the field of ‘clothes’.”
“I think that since Slow Movement Studio is focused on the VR game direction and has a natural advantage in the field of ‘clothes’, this task is naturally mine!”
“What’s more, the establishment of the Real Estate Agent Simulator and the realistic service department, including the link between Safe and Civilized Driving and the real car business, has raised the role of the game. It has linked with real companies and improved people’s lives.”
“I think this is one of the main directions for future game development. It is also the goal that I am working hard for!”
