Chapter 355 - Guessing Boss Pei’s Intention-Difficulty Level High (1/2)

Chapter 355 Guessing Boss Pei’s Intention-Difficulty Level High

At the same time as the interview going on in Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd….

Dream Realization Ventures… Boss Ma did not turn up again today.

Boss Ma’s whereabouts had always been erratic, and the company did have no money for new investments. Nonetheless, the fact that Boss Ma did not turn up made He Desheng and the others worry.

Many of them would lose their jobs on the spot if Boss Ma lost interest in the rigged games! Even if they only fell out of favor, that would mean their career prospects were dim.

Therefore, these professional gamers—who accompany Boss Ma in gaming and invest on the sidelines—were feeling a little anxious.

The first thing He Desheng did when he went to work was to open his mailbox to check his email.

The modification suggestions they sent to Finger Games of the game last Friday should have received a reply by now since it was already Monday, right?

There was indeed an unread email from Finger Games.

He Desheng briefly browsed through it. He could only say, as expected of being a shareholder…

Finger Games had already replied to the email on Saturday. Dream Realization Ventures was on holiday during the weekend so no one was working overtime. He Desheng did not check his email during the weekend, which was why it was left unread until today. In any case, to reply in just a day showed how much importance Finger Games attached to their shareholder and local agent.

There was a lot of content in the email. The tone was very polite and was filled with respectful terms.

However, while the tone was rather euphemistic, the meaning between the lines was clear. There were three key points after being translated.

They were very grateful for the support and love Dream Realization Ventures gave to IOI.

They were also thankful to Dream Realization Ventures for their valuable comments on the game, which sparked the inspiration for their game design. However, due to some reasons that were difficult to be clearly expressed in the email, they would not be able to promise to make changes based on this as the game design was done as a whole. Of course, if conditions were to permit, these modifications were not completely impossible to consider.

He Desheng sighed silently and closed the email after reading this rather standard reply. He had no other way. Their attitude was clear; it was impossible to change.

Dream Realization Ventures might have bought into the shares of Finger Games and obtained the exclusive agency rights in China, but it was impossible for them to dictate what Finger Games should do.

Moreover, Finger Games’ attitude towards their investors was the same. Their determination to maintain independence was rather firm.

It was already pretty good to receive such a polite reply in a short time. Finger Games probably would not even give a d*mn about such opinions if it was put forth by other companies.

It was rather normal if someone thought about it. Dream Realization Ventures was an investment firm. How could Finger Games change the contents of its game just because of some advice from an investment firm?

Dream Realization Ventures’ backer might be Tengda, but Tengda did not possess much influence overseas. Finger Games’ answer would probably still be the same.

In short, this route was dead. They would have given up if it was any other matter. However, this concerned everyone’s job security. He Desheng felt he had to use games to win back Boss Ma’s trust.

Was there any similar game to IOI then?

He Desheng gave it some thoughts when a light bulb lit up suddenly. “Isn’t Tengda Games developing a similar game? It should be easier to talk to our sister company than to talk to Finger Games, right?”

He Desheng did not have any way of contacting Li Yada, but he could reach out to Assistant Xin.

He Desheng sent the modification plan to Li Yada after he obtained Li Yada’s contact information from Assistant Xin.

Would Li Yada, the head from Tengda, accept this plan?

He Desheng could not say for sure.

Tengda Games was indeed a sister company, but they made games for profit as well.

It is impossible for the head to completely violate her design philosophy and make major changes to the game just because of favor, especially if this modification plan was contrary to Tengda’s previous design direction.

Anyway, he could ask first.

Who knows? Perhaps the head would be interested in this modification plan.

Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd…. “Boss Pei, sorry to interrupt. “Boss Pei, can you give us a brief outline of what you want for the haunted house? “Hao Qiong and I might have some thoughts, but we are afraid that we may not be able to fulfill your expectations.”

Pei Qian fell into deep thoughts seeing the messages from Chen Kangtuo. He didn’t manage to fool them. They took the initiative to ask him. What should he do now?

Pei Qian did not want to ‘point the way’ because he felt like he had a lucky mouth that would turn anything he said into facts. Every bad idea he gave became a golden goose.

That made Boss Pei feel very confused and troubled.

That was why he did not say much to Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong this time. He wanted them to try it out and see if he could deceive them.

In the end, both of them felt something was wrong and still took the initiative to ask after one weekend.

Pei Qian did not want to ‘point the way out for them’, but it did not seem appropriate to say nothing.

Hm, just one sentence then.

Pei Qian thought for a while before he typed his reply: “Make it a destination for the courageous without spending much and where the timid could only watch on in fear without entering.”

Chen Kangtuo replied in less than two minutes: “Boss Pei, can you please explain a little more…?”

Obviously, he thought hard for two minutes after reading this sentence carefully. However, he did not fully understand what it meant so he had no choice but to ask again.

Boss Pei might think of him as useless if he asked, but it was a huge project of 10 million yuan. Chen Kangtuo did not dare to execute it with no clear route.

Pei Qian laughed.

Explain?

It was very simple. He meant courageous ones could come and play casually so the ticket fee should be low to the point of not making a profit. Timid ones would not dare to come at all, so there would be no way for them to contribute income to the haunted house.

The timid dare not come, the courageous would not need to spend much money. Wouldn’t this haunted house make a great loss?

However, that certainly could not be said clearly.

Pei Qian did not dare explain anymore for the fear that any wrong word would cause them to think too much in the wrong direction.

At such times, silence would triumph.

Therefore, Pei Qian only replied three simple words: “Comprehend it yourself.” Chen Kangtuo, “…Alright, Boss Pei, I understand now.”

He passed the cell phone to Hao Qiong. Both of them looked at the screen with Boss Pei’s reply ‘comprehend it yourself’ and were speechless.

Comprehend it yourself, ha…

The hint was just one sentence. Wasn’t it too difficult to comprehend?

Hao Qiong heard that Boss Pei’s general direction usually had three to four points, and they were generally relatively clear.

However, it had now concentrated to just one point. It was really too baffling!

Teacher, that was super out of the line!

Chen Kangtuo felt his head spin. “H-how are we to comprehend this?”

Hao Qiong sucked a deep breath. “Calm down, calm down. Director Lin once told us how to analyze Boss Pei’s intentions. Wait a bit, let me recall what she said.

“The first step is to clarify a belief. No matter how absurd Boss Pei’s words are, they must be right…”

Hao Qiong began to analyze the deep meaning behind the words of Boss Pei with Lin Wan’s method.

The bold and the timid. These should be the potential customers of the haunted house. The attitude of these customers towards the haunted house would directly determine the success or failure of the haunted house.

They should be able to create fun for both the courageous and timid customers according to common sense. They should pay for it.

However, the demands of these two types of customers were different. The more courageous customers would need a more thrilling experience. For example, the staff roleplaying ghosts and frightening them up close. The time customers were easily dissuaded from such thrilling projects. They might not even dare to enter, which meant that they would naturally not spend their money there.

How to then bridge the demands of these customers?

Chen Kangtuo felt that the answer must be hidden in Boss Pei’s words!

Make it a destination for the courageous without spending much and where the timid could only watch on in fear without entering.

In other words, make the haunted house extremely scary and set a low price? That way, the timid would not dare to enter so they would naturally watch on in fear while those with courage could come and enjoy as they pleased…

That seemed to be in line with Boss Pei’s words.

However, the problem was that it would not be profitable so it wasn’t reasonable.

Why discourage the timid from coming? Wouldn’t it be better for them to spend their money with us? Why should we scare them away?

It was definitely not as simple as that. Therefore, this thinking had to be completely overturned. They had to re-excavate the deep meaning behind Boss Pei’s words!

The two of them thought hard for a long time.

Chen Kangtuo suddenly had a ‘eureka’ moment. He slapped his thigh suddenly and said, “Yes! I understand it now! I’ll briefly tell you my thoughts. Listen to them and see if they make sense.”
