Chapter 142 - You Have to Rely on the Professionals to Lose Money (1/2)

“I have long heard that Boss Pei and Tengda Games are black horses in Jingzhou City. Every game that you made became popular and would be on the popular searches on Weibo. This makes us so envious.” Du Ruijie sipped his tea and exclaimed.

Pei Qian replied politely, “Actually, I am very envious of Boss Du, too.”

Du Ruijie was momentarily stunned. “What are you envious of?”

“Umm… I am envious of your luck.” Pei Qian originally wanted to say that he was ‘envious of his ability to lose money’. However, he suddenly realized that those words were not suitable to say out loud and changed his words suddenly.

Du Ruijie laughed out loud. “Boss Pei, you are so hilarious. It seems like I am indeed pretty lucky. If other companies faced such a situation, I suppose that they will shut down in no time. I am indeed lucky that Boss Pei is willing to acquire the company.

“Boss Pei, I am very thankful that you are willing to save Shang Yang Games. Therefore, I will save all those tricks and tell you the absolute truth.

“In reality, I bear the greatest responsibility for the bad operations of the company. If you could truly save Shang Yang Games from its demise and give it a new life, I am even willing to give the company to you directly.

“However…

“Firstly, this company was opened by me and another brother of mine. We two had invested a lot of blood and sweat into it. Secondly, the employees of the company are all my brothers. I hope that I can try my best to find a good place for them to go to…” Du Ruijie sipped on his tea as he spoke.

Although Du Ruijie said a lot of nice words, Pei Qian knew internally that Boss Du wanted to raise the price.

The focus of his words was after the word ‘however!

All in all, Boss Du wanted to emphasize his struggles when opening the company and how good these employees are. He also wanted to point out that there was still hope to revive those two games that were still operating and that they could profit again with just some effort.

Pei Qian listened quietly and smiled.

Du Ruijie talked for an entire ten minutes. He introduced the situation in Shang Yang Games and added a lot of personal opinions. He appeared very prepared and amiable.

Pei Qian did not respond to his speech. He wasn’t interested in this content at all.

Maybe because of Pei Qian’s age, Boss Du wanted to bluff him and convince him to list a higher price. However, he had no idea that Pei Qian was not interested in that at all and was not in charge of that. Those were all part of Assistant Xin’s job.

Assistant Xin listened quietly behind Pei Qian and continuously recorded the information down on her notebook. She was prepared to start slashing the price anytime with Pei Qian’s orders.

“Boss Pei, this is all. I’ll give you a very reasonable price. I’ll wipe off the remaining digits and give you an exact figure: one million. What do you think of it?”

Boss Du had a ‘this is such a bargain for you’ look on his face.

Pei Qian did not respond and instead asked casually, “I remember that your company’s previous chief planner was called Liu. Where is he?”

Du Ruijie was stunned. He then shook his head slightly. “Oh. Old Liu. He resigned a few days ago. I think he found another company to work for.

“Rest assured, Boss Pei. Xiaobin had always been our systems designer. His abilities are incredible. He has been promoted to the chief planner and can definitely take over Old Liu’s responsibilities! Wait. No. He might even perform better than Old Liu!”

Resigned?

This…

Pei Qian was a little troubled.

Old Liu found out that the company was about to fail and had found his next job beforehand. That’s true. It wasn’t difficult for Old Liu to find a job given his experience in planning games and his brilliant resume.

However, that was a little pitiful. This fantastic company became incomplete before he had even bought it over. Then again, Pei Qian did not take that to heart and did not plan to get Old Liu back either.

The company was only short of a chief planner. It could continue operating by finding someone to take up that role.

However, Pei Qian glanced over at Wang Xiaobin and felt that he could not be the chief planner.
