Chapter 460 - This is the Friendship Between Boss Pei and Big Boss Ruan! (1/2)

After recovering from his momentary shock, Pei Qian regained his composure and decided to act as if he had not seen them! He could not allow pre-decided things to affect him and his train of thought now!

Although there were less than two weeks to settlement, the situation was looking sufficiently positive already.

Pei Qian waved his hand at the waiter, and the latter immediately understood what he wanted. He brought Pei Qian his personal laptop.

Pei Qian liked to ponder about life at this branch especially. Thus, he had left his laptop here so that he could work whenever he wanted.

Of course, he called it ‘work’, but he was only recording simple notes in a document.

It was often nothing urgent. In fact, he would normally delete the document once he had organized his thoughts. That saved him from worrying about his secrets being leaked.

Pei Qian opened the laptop, created a new document, and began to write his thoughts out.

Although the next cycle would only start in April, it was never too early for Pei Qian to prepare for rainy days. Coming up with a new plan now would save him from being flustered come April.

At the moment, he had several avenues to spend money: Distributing prizes to top players of GOG four times a year…

Distributing bonuses to employees based on their projects’ ratings on TPDb, according to the normal rules. On top of that, he could provide various benefits like paying different types of allowances and arranging for physical examinations…

Holding regular celebration parties so that employees could help spend a portion of his money…

Lastly, investing huge amounts of money into Thriller Hostel…

After thinking for a long time, Pei Qian still felt that this was not enough.

Although it was more or less sufficient for now, they were less than two weeks from settlement. What’s more, Glory of Gods’ client-side game would be released soon. That would generate even more revenue, which Pei Qian had to account for as soon as possible.

Thus, Pei Qian added another avenue.

Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, ROF Computer-Installation, Fish-Catching Take-Out, Zhongdian Chinese Network, and Upwind Logistics… he could burn a week’s worth of money for all of those businesses!

He could distribute allowances, whether people helped him with incurring losses or not.

Take Zhongdian Chinese Network for instance. He could give readers a subsidy for reading books and give writers an additional allowance. That would be achieving double the happiness at a single go! All of his money would disappear in no time!

This would be viewed as publicity efforts by the System. It would be allowed.

Of course, while doing this would increase his chances of incurring losses during this cycle, it would make his life much harder at the beginning of the next cycle.

Thus, Pei Qian had to think of ways to eliminate all hidden threats! He would have to employ new measures from the next cycle onwards!

Pei Qian started a new line in his document and then continued brainstorming. The first-place-elimination system could not hold the fort any longer.

However, Pei Qian had no intention of getting rid of it. The system could help him eliminate some hidden threats after all. Without it, Tengda Games would probably earn even more money than it was earning now.

What he had to do was supplement and perfect the system.

Pei Qian wrote the words ‘Cyclical Shock Therapy’ on the document.

He had many businesses to take care of now. There was no way he could take care of them all.

Even if he handed them to others, he would have no time or effort to check in on things. Everything could easily go haywire.

Thus, Pei Qian decided to use Cyclical Shock Therapy on the businesses!

In every cycle, one portion of Tengda’s businesses would be operating while the rest undergo shock therapy.

Of course, the System prohibited employees from remaining passive or slacking at work. They had to release new products every once in a while.

So… Pei Qian decided to negotiate with the System. According to his understanding of the System, there was room for negotiation.

“System, if a certain company has made outstanding contributions to the development of the entire group of companies, it would be perfectly reasonable to give that company a few months off so that employees can upgrade their skills, right? Not only would their knowledge improve, but they would also be able to contribute more to the group of companies in the future.”

Soon, Pei Qian got a positive answer.

However, there were limitations. Only one company could take a few months off during each cycle. What’s more, while he had to continue paying the necessary expenses for the company, he could not make any investments.

In other words, he could pay the employees their salaries, but he could not invest in any projects.

Pei Qian was extremely satisfied. He could do that!

There was no need for any more discussion. Fei Huang Workspace would go into shock therapy first! Judging by their current speed, they could produce three or four films each year. If each film earned tens of millions of yuan, wouldn’t the income be incredible?

On top of that, Pei Qian had learned one thing. The first-place-elimination system was effective, but there were still shortcomings. For example, it could encourage employees to work even harder.

Thus, Pei Qian had to offer consolation to what he thought were ‘outstanding companies’, the companies that incurred sustained losses.

He would supplement the ‘first-place-elimination system’ with a “last-place-reward system’!

Pei Qian had already thought about whom to give this reward.

Upwind Logistics…

Ever since it had been established, Upwind Logistics had been steadily incurring losses for Boss Pei. Lu Mingliang had not turned the losses into profits, and he had thus gained Boss Pei’s deep trust.

Pei Qian had even thought about what the reward would be.

It would be called the ‘Tengda Cornerstone Award’.

He could forcibly explain the award by saying that Upwind Logistics had fought hard to serve the other companies and was thus the ‘cornerstone’ for Tengda Corporation’s rapid growth.
