Chapter 416 - E-Sports Club (1/2)

Pei Qian yawned in his office. The heater in his office was very comfortable, making one sleepy.

It might be inappropriate to laze around on the first day of work, but Pei Qian really had nothing much else to do.

It might feel as though there were much to do, as though countless blooded swords were pointing at his back. However, he really could not think of what he could do even as he thought hard.

He opened the TPDb website to see which other projects required ‘improvement’.

Pei Qian’s eyes were attracted to the Fish-Catching Internet Cafe immediately.

Come to think of it, I had always wanted to open an internet cafe near Dad and Mom’s house!

I have to open one near the new house I bought. Have to plan ahead for the future.

In short, a Fish-Catching Internet Cafe should be nearby no matter wherever I live in the future.

Pei Qian immediately sent Zhang Yuan a text, asking him to come over.

Zhang Yuan was usually situated at the Fish-Catching Internet Cafe at Handong University. He handled matters relating to the internet cafe and ROF Computer-Installation. Today was no exception.

He, therefore, arrived in a matter of minutes.

“How is the handover going on?” Pei Qian asked directly as soon as Zhang Yuan sat down.

“Boss Pei, today is just the first day back at work…”

Zhang Yuan was a little speechless and a little reluctant.

Zhang Yuan received the Dream Fund of a million yuan after being selected as an outstanding employee. However, that meant he had to give up everything at Fish-Catching Internet Cafe and ROF Computer-Installation.

Zhang Yuan was of course not happy about it.

He was now rather competent when it came to the Fish-Catching Internet Cafe and the ROF installations. He was not willing to change to other positions even if his salary and benefits did not change. However, Pei Qian would definitely not agree.

The first-place-elimination system was set up to eliminate such people!

He had done a very good job since he was judged as an outstanding employee. To Boss Pei, that meant that he was one of the employees who had threatened him the most over the past six months. He had to arrange something great for him.

Therefore, he had to use the fastest method to end Zhang Yuan.

Pei Qian could see that Zhang Yuan was not willing so his face turned black. “Your efficiency is lacking. I’ll give you three days to complete the handover. Put down all work at the ROF Computer-Installation and then submit the people to be promoted to the HR department.”

Zhang Yuan had nothing to say. He could only nod. “Yes, Boss Pei.”

Pei Qian continued. “By the way, tell the new person-in-charge during the handover to open two more Fish-Catching Internet Cafe 1.0 in two other places.”

Pei Qian pointed out the location of his parents’ house and his new house.

Zhang Yuan looked at the place, slightly confused.

One was a small county in Jingzhou. One was near a high-speed rail station that had yet to open in Jingzhou.

What was so special about these two places that Boss Pei felt he should open a Fish-Catching Internet Cafe there?

The last time Boss Pei asked about the Fish-Catching Internet Cafe was when a ‘Fish-Catching Complex’ was to be opened at Lincheng City. He invested tens of millions of yuan then. Boss Pei shouldn’t have to bother about these two small internet cafes.

However, Zhang Yuan had long been accustomed to Boss Pei’s unique site selection skills so he naturally did not ask much about it. He just noted it down in preparation to hand over to his successor.

“Have you thought of how you will spend the Dream Fund? Don’t worry, if one million is not enough, I’ll give you more,” Pei Qian continued asking after he was done arranging for the Fish-Catching Internet Cafe.

The One Million Yuan Dream Fund was a standard established in the early days of Tengda Group. It was not easy to squeeze out one million yuan then since Tengda was not as big as it was now.

However, one million yuan could only be regarded as a droplet in an ocean now that Tengda grew larger and was more profitable. It was peanuts to Boss Pei who was in urgent need of spending money.

Pei Qian, therefore, asked casually. He did not mind giving Zhang Yuan more money if his dream was outrageous.

Of course, he would not give another penny if Zhang Yuan’s dream was too realistic.

Zhang Yuan gave it some thought. “Erm… Boss Pei, I gave it some thought during the holiday. My initial thinking is to create an E-Sports Club.”

E-Sports Club? Pei Qian was quite surprised. He originally thought that Zhang Yuan would continue to do the installations he was good at, but he didn’t expect him to be enlightened.

Pei Qian was very satisfied with this answer.

An E-Sports Club would burn money in no time, and there would be very, very little profits.

What was more, the e-sports industry was still very small in the year 2011. There was a lack of large scale competition around the world. Many professional players were still sleeping on the streets and eating instant noodles.

The current E-Sports was basically games that the rich second-generation heirs played. It was something that Pei Qian was into.

Pei Qian had long wanted to create an E-Sports club for fun before Zhang Yuan even mentioned it!

Pei Qian was all smiles immediately. He put out a thumb. “Good idea!”
