Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 1100: Keep an Eye on Teacher Qiao!

Logically speaking, he had to be on guard, but Meng Chang had no idea how to be on guard.

After Boss Pei informed the various related departments and agreed that he could still obtain a commission if the internal secrets were leaked, Meng Chang felt that the probability of problems happening within Tengda was very small. It basically did not exist.

How else could he be on guard?

Could it be that he could find all the players online and hold them by their necks and say “You are not allowed to discuss the inspiration class”? That would not do.

This question stumped Pei Qian.

How could he be on guard?

If I could predict such things, would I still need to think about how to lose money every day? Would I still have to read the work reports of the various departments and look after the secret reports from the Manage Loss Trainees?

Think about your own problems! I’m already being very kind by reminding you!

After a moment of silence, Pei Qian said, “I don’t know either. Think about whether there are any flaws. In any case, don’t blame others if you can’t get the commission. I’ve already reminded you.”

After hanging up, Meng Chang looked at his cell phone and fell into deep thought.

He suspected that Boss Pei had already seen the problem but purposely did not tell him.

That was completely understandable. Boss Pei’s interests were completely opposite from his after all. It was already very kind of him to remind him like that. He could not hope for more.

However... What was wrong?

There should be no more problems within Tengda, so he should look outside and into the players.

Especially since the downloadable content ‘Eternal Reincarnation’ had already been put on the development agenda. It was said that they had some ideas for the design manuscript. If there were any problems recently, it was most likely because of this project.

This was another game project...

Meng Chang thought for a long time. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration. A very dangerous figure appeared in his mind.

Teacher Qiao!

How could he forget Teacher Qiao when it came to games?

One had to know that many of Tengda’s games had become popular because of Teacher Qiao’s recommendation.

As Tengda Games became more and more well-known, Teacher Qiao’s influence was no longer as obvious as before. However, he still acted as a fuse and had to be guarded against.

The more Meng Chang thought about it, the more he felt that it was a huge mistake for him not to take any precautions against Teacher Qiao. If not for Boss Pei’s reminder, he might have failed in the next two days while he was feeling happy.

He had to take necessary measures to prevent Teacher Qiao from getting involved. It would be best if he could last until the end of this month. Even if he could not, he had to at least last until next week!

But how?

Make Teacher Qiao shut up?

It was not an easy operation. Instead, it would make it more obvious.

He would give Teacher Qiao a sum of money to keep him from mentioning anything about ‘Eternal Reincarnation’?

The problem was that the hush money could not be counted as publicity funds.

Teacher Qiao would not take a liking to what Meng Chang had in his pocket even if he were to pay out of his own pocket.

What’s more, Meng Chang’s basic salary was spent in its entirety. It was impossible for him to have spare money. Even if he did, he would not be able to bear to part with it.

Thus, the final thought had to be on publicity funds.

Meng Chang quickly thought of a solution.

He could not cover it up, but he could divert his attention.

He would use a portion of the publicity funds to shift Teacher Qiao’s attention elsewhere. He did not have the energy or time to pay attention to the works of Eternal Reincarnation and the inspiration class, right?

So where should he divert his attention to...

Meng Chang suddenly thought of a good direction: Slow Movement Studio’s VR project and the developing new game, Animal Island!

He would fork out a sum of money for Teacher Qiao to try out ‘Animal Island’ first.

Slow Movement Studio had Tengda’s investment. It would not be too much for Tengda’s publicity department to fork out some money to arrange the early publicity work, right?

Of course, they had to advertise “Animal Island” in the future. However, wouldn’t it be alright as long as Meng Chang chose other projects over this project?

Meng Chang felt that it would be worthed it if he were to give up this project that would most likely succeed to earn this month’s commission.

What’s more, Teacher Qiao was a gaming fan. He would definitely be especially happy if he could experience Tengda’s new VR game in advance.

Wouldn’t he be able to achieve his goal perfectly with the reason that the new project had to be kept a secret and allow him to experience it at the end of the month, cutting off his connection with the outside world as much as possible?

The more Meng Chang thought about it, the more he felt that it was appropriate. He immediately asked about the development of VR games.

At the moment, Slow Movement Studio’s various tasks were being carried out in an orderly manner. Animal Island already had its initial DEMO to play.

The VR glasses might not have been completed yet, but they could use the VR glasses of other foreign brands to experience the game.

After all, the development and testing of “Animal Island” also required VR glasses. It was impossible to develop the game after Shenhua’s VR glasses were completed. That would not be rushed.

Therefore, Meng Chang planned to communicate with Slow Movement Studio first and say that Teacher Qiao wanted to experience the new VR game, test it, and give suggestions. Then, he would look for Teacher Qiao and say that Slow Movement Studio was developing the VR game. He wanted to invite him as a special experience technician to go into seclusion for a period of time to help improve the game. There would also be a special evaluation fee.

This was similar to the “Bill Gates’ Son-in-law” joke.

The only difference was that the joke was pure nonsense and not feasible. However, Meng Chang’s operation was feasible and the success rate was infinitely close to 100%!

Meng Chang immediately took action and went to Slow Movement Studio.

He could not delay this matter after all. Every additional day he delayed meant an additional day of risk.

Teacher Qiao was a huge threat to Meng Chang’s commission. He could not let him wander outside. He had to be locked in a cage as soon as possible so that Meng Chang could feel at ease!

June 14th, Thursday...

Zhongdian Chinese Network’s inspiration class.

The original author of the Eternal Reincarnation novel, Yu Fei, was in the work area. He frowned and seriously edited the plot.

The originally deserted work area was now more than half full.

It was not only Cui Geng’s three works that had been copyrighted and developed that were being modified. The other authors in the inspiration class were also busy creating!

Some were polishing works, some were redesigning the entire story structure, and some wanted to finish their current works as soon as possible and create a new story.

The atmosphere of the entire inspiration class had a 180-degree turn compared to before!

Obviously, Boss Pei had given life and vitality to the inspiration class.

Previously, everyone had written for the sake of the fixed-rate contract. At first, they were more passionate, but they quickly lost their goals.

That was because it was difficult to make a breakthrough no matter how hard they worked after the results of a book were fixed. Naturally, the authors became lazy.

However, the copyright development of these three works allowed all the authors to see the light.

If they could do it, I would definitely be able to do it if I worked hard!

Thus, everyone found a goal to work towards once again. More and more authors were seriously writing in the work area.

Yu Fei worked especially hard.

That was because ‘Eternal Reincarnation’ was confirmed to be developed by Tengda Games as the official downloadable content for Repent and be Saved. Boss Pei even proposed a series of new designs at the meeting, making Yu Fei, an old player of Repent and be Saved, very excited.

As an author, this was the happiest thing in the world.

His own work was recognized by the official platform. What’s more, it was being developed as an official sequel. They had even modified the gameplay according to the characteristics of his own work so that the game itself fit the novel better.

It was enough to be overwhelmed!

Thus, Yu Fei had to ensure that the content of the novel was perfect and not drag the game down.

Yu Fei leaned back in his chair and stretched after revising the plot and took a sip of coffee to refresh himself.

During the break, he opened his fan group, habitually wanted to see what his idiotic fans were discussing.

“Eh? The lousy author is editing the content of Eternal Reincarnation again?”

“Really? How do you know?”

“I had nothing better to do so I read it again. However, the APP suddenly reminded me that the content of my chapter has been updated. I read it again and the plot changed completely...”

“Indeed, the content that I saved previously is gone. I need to download it again. What’s more, there are many changes. There are at least sixty changes in the first hundred chapters...”

“Wouldn’t that be akin to rewriting it?”

“That’s not the case. Some chapters only change the dialogue and the names of the items. It does not affect the plot. Only a few chapters greatly revised the plot.”

“That’s a lot of effort! Actually, everyone who has written before knows that editing a book is much more painful than writing a new book. That’s because writing a new book is equivalent to painting on a piece of white paper. There are almost no restrictions. However, if you want to write a new book, you have to pay attention to the plot and foreshadowing of the front and back chapters. It’s like straightening out a messy pile of wires. It’s very torturous!”

“Is the author crazy... Is there a need to edit this book?”

“I don’t think it’s necessary either. This book is not bad. It just doesn’t fit the online literature model. I think from the perspective of Repent and be Saved players, this book will be given 80 points. A major repair would only give it 85 or even 90 points from 80 points. However, 90 points is useless. There won’t be many new readers. The fixed-rate contract is paid according to the word count. There won’t be additional income after the repair.”

“In my opinion, if the lousy author has the energy, he might as well start a new book. There’s no need to keep fighting with this book that has already been finalized.”

The group of friends expressed their opinions, but it was obvious that most of them did not understand flying.

That was because ‘major renovations’ was a very unpopular behavior in the field of online novels. They were stingy with details and strived for perfection. The benefits they obtained were often not as good as updating more and providing a lot of food.

He should rather write more new content than to do such an arduous and thankless operation.

Yu Fei was considered a veteran author of Zhongdian Chinese Network. Obviously, he knew this very well. However, he had been working hard on it and had no intention of stopping.

This puzzled many of his old readers.

Yu Fei could not help but smile.

He really wanted to share the good news about copyright development with his readers!

However, Boss Pei had said that it had to be kept a secret. Naturally, Zhongdian Chinese Network’s authors had to abide by this rule.

Thus, Yu Fei decided not to respond and continued to focus on editing.

In any case, the group of people were so smart. They would guess it sooner or later.
