“Boss Pei, do you remember Chen Sha? He wants a Barrett,” Lin Wan said briefly.

Pei Qian’s immediate reaction was to reject him.

You must be kidding. I’ve limited it to five hundred guns so I’ll only sell five hundred guns. How can I break that rule so easily?

If I give out one gun today and another tomorrow, it’ll become as cheap as vegetables tomorrow. I cannot do something like that.

Boss Pei himself did not enjoy any special privileges. How could he make exceptions for others so easily?!

Of course, Boss Pei did not give himself these special privileges because he was very bad at these FPS games. Even if he had a Barrett Doom, he would be tortured in the game.

Having guessed what Pei Qian was going to say, Lin Wan quickly butted in. “Boss Pei, I know that his request is unreasonable. However, I feel that we should at least take care of our core players, right? Even if we can’t give them away, can we at least strike a compromise?

“We’re limiting sales to five hundred every month. It all boils down to how quickly one’s hand moves. We’re letting scalpers take the advantage. Players who genuinely love playing the game would not get to buy the weapons. It would be quite hurtful for them.”

Pei Qian pondered about it and realized that was true.

It did not matter whether Tengda made money or not, but he could not allow the players to get hurt. He also could not allow scalpers to take advantage of this situation easily.

After all, the players were innocent. Scalpers, on the other hand, were assholes.

Pei Qian thought about it and said, “That’s easy to settle. We can quickly create an account reputation system. According to various factors, accounts can get various ratings. Take core players like Chen Sha for example. Since they made great contributions to the game, they should get special contribution privileges.

“Other accounts can be judged based on whether they curse in the game or not, whether they are civilized in the game or not, how active they are, and the like. It would be just like a credit rating.

“Those with high credit ratings can pre-order epic weapons. Once their pre-order is successful, their purchase will be deducted from the limit of five hundred. The higher one’s credit rating is, the higher their priority for pre-ordering.

“Of course, those who have the same credit rating must still fight one another.

“Scalpers are not elite gamers; they will naturally be the last in line. Then, no matter how fast they work, it will be of no use. They would stand no chance in snatching the epic weapons.”

Lin Wan’s eyes lit up. “Good idea! Boss Pei, you’re amazing indeed. You could think of such a perfect solution! I’m going to tell Chen Sha about this and ask him to wait for it patiently.”

You don’t have to look so surprised, do you?

Pei Qian was stunned. This was a natural solution.

However, on second thought, Lin Wan’s reaction was logical. Most people’s thinking about games was still a bit backward at the time. Pei Qian had an additional few years’ worth of experience. That was why he naturally had the upper-hand.

Of course, under most circumstances, this upper-hand was only effective when thinking about little things such as this. Could he create a huge business empire like Shenhua Corporation based on what little additional experience he had?

Pei Qian felt that would be a distant dream; it was unrealistic.

He would do better to take care of the things in front of him for now.

What’s more, he could limit the amount of income from games, generate losses, freeload off the System Funds, and convert money to his Personal Wealth; all without compromising on his long-term dream.

Just as he thought about these things, he heard cheering from far away.

“Brother Huang is back!”

“Brother Huang, you’re late! Drink three glasses as punishment!”

Pei Qian was shocked.

He’s here. Huang Sibo is here!

According to Pei Qian’s instructions, Huang Sibo should have finished filming before June 18th. If he produced the video after the 24th, the System would delay settlement. To Pei Qian, this was unacceptable.

Pei Qian guessed that Huang Sibo must have finished filming and editing. They should be planning to publish the documentary within these two days.

How much Huang Sibo’s video earned would directly affect Pei Qian’s future plan.

Pei Qian watched from afar as Huang Sibo smiled and greeted everybody. However, he spotted a hint of loneliness in Huang Sibo’s eyes.

Huh?

Pei Qian rejoiced in his heart. Does Huang Sibo have a surprise for me this time?
