Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 1538 Professional Journalist Again

March 25th, Monday.

In the blink of an eye, the weekend passed.

Yan Qi went to work as usual. He took a cup of coffee and sat at his desk.

He had wanted to continue arranging for people to develop the content after Shu Li. However, on further thought, he searched for the latest discussions about Shu Li online.

He was stunned.

On Saturday, he made an announcement to explain that the ‘Shu Li’ project was not short of money so that everyone did not have to worry too much.

He had thought that this matter would be over. Now, it seemed like not only was it not over, but it had also blown up!

First, He An expressed his support for Tengda. Then, for some reason, the entire domestic gaming circle began to form teams!

Some game designers, including He An, supported Tengda. They severely reprimanded some people with ulterior motives for discrediting Tengda and messing up the domestic games industry. However, there were also some game channel merchants and bosses of games companies that did not get along with Tengda. They seemed to be commenting on it logically, but they were actually leading the way and pulling the strings, wanting to pull Tengda down from its pedestal.

At first, everyone held back. However, the gunpowder soon became stronger!

That was because the game industry was not harmonious to begin with. Some manufacturers had grievances.

Now that new and old hatreds had exploded together, they were naturally less and less polite.

At the beginning, the debate revolved around ‘Shu Li’. The focus of the discussion was: Tengda had said that it wanted to revive domestically-produced games, but what contribution had it made to domestically-produced games with ability, reputation, and resources?

Dream Realization Ventures had so much money to invest in strange companies but did not have money to invest in “Shu Li” or other domestically-produced independent games?

Tengda had such a strong reputation but it had never thought of speaking for Dawn Games?

As they argued, the topic got further and further away. It became attacks and fights between manufacturers. Of course, some unnecessary things were naturally blamed on Tengda.

To be honest, this scene was quite shameful.

Селем

However, that was exactly what the anti-Tengda Alliance needed.

That was because it was impossible to cause any harm to Tengda in a decent way!

The current playstyle looked very shameless, but they did not care much about face in the first place. This was also a ‘low moral advantage’.

It was obviously unreasonable and would not obtain the support of players, but as long as he persevered and harassed them endlessly, working hard to muddle the water, he would always be able to cause a certain negative impact on Tengda.

What’s more, it seemed like he had come prepared this time. Someone must have added fuel to the fire. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for the argument to reach this extent in just two days over the weekend.

The person behind it had grasped Tengda’s weakness of not working over the weekend and attacked Tengda!

On the other hand, Tengda did not make any moves during the weekend. It did not even make any comments until Monday.

Yan Qi saw it and was very anxious.

In his opinion, Tengda’s actions were a little unreasonable.

As long as he openly announced to the outside world that the project ‘Shu Li’ was funded by Tengda, and that the idea of this game was inspired by Boss Pei, wouldn’t that be enough?

At that time, the doubts from the outside world would naturally dissipate. The arrogant clowns and fake reviewers who were against Tengda would naturally be slapped in the face.

If it was possible, Yan Qi wanted to personally go and expose this news.

It was a pity that Boss Pei did not allow him to say it. What’s more, it looked like Boss Pei did not intend to say it himself.

What was Boss Pei waiting for?

That was extremely confusing.

Just as he was struggling internally, his assistant walked over. “Boss Yan, there’s something.”

“The official games platform just called. They said that they wanted to arrange an emergency interview for you. They probably saw the promotional video for ‘Shu Li’ and attached great importance to our project, so they wanted to report it.” “Do you want to accept this interview? If you do, what time would be suitable?”

“The official platform should arrive by tomorrow.”

Yan Qi was stunned. “Huh? Interview?”

“Accept it, of course! Set the time tomorrow, the earlier the better!”

Being interviewed by the official platform was something that every game designer could only dream of!

Once this interview manuscript was released on the official platform, Shu Li would naturally not have to worry about attention. A large number of players would definitely flood in.

Shu Li might have been confirmed to be an exclusive game on Dawn Games platform but the nature of the official platform was relatively special. There was no direct competition with such a private platform.

The official platform would not prohibit or reject the existence of other games platforms. According to the rules, the exclusive games of other platforms had to be released on the official platform after three months. However, even if they were to go online the official platform only provided an additional entrance. If players wanted to play this game, it was not enough to download the main body. They had to download another original platform before they could play this game. In other words, according to the rules, even though “Shu Li” was exclusive to Dawn Games platform, it would have to be on the official platform after three months. However, players had to download a Dawn Games platform when they went to the official platform to download “Shu Li”.

That way, it would protect the monopoly games of these gaming platforms so that the platform could still rely on the gaming monopoly to expand the user groups of the platform. It would also maintain the authority of the official platform and integrate resources to a certain extent.

Therefore, it was beneficial to the game ‘Shu Li’ and Dawn Games platform to establish a good relationship with the official platform.

Yan Qi also took this opportunity to express his views through the official platform: The project of “Shu Li” was really not lacking money! Such meaningless quarrels and sides could be quitted!

March 26th, Tuesday.

The interview team from the official platform came to Jingzhou once again and headed straight for the Shu Li project team.

There were a total of five people in the interview team this time. The editor-in-chief leading the team was still Xia Jiang.

After all, she was considered a more experienced journalist in the official platform. She had interviewed Tengda Corporation before, the independent game incubation base, and produced many good manuscripts.

Sending Xia Jiang over showed that the official platform attached more importance to this interview.

Of course, Xia Jiang was also filled with anticipation for this interview. That was because the game ‘Shu Li’ looked like an AAA game that had taken care of Chinese culture and exquisite production after Repent and be Saved. On the other hand, the producer Yan Qi’s personal experience of ‘making mobile games for survival and standalone games for ideals’ was also very good interview material.

“Chief Editor Xia! Hello, hello. I’ve heard a lot about you.”

“I’ve watched your interview for Tengda Corporation and the Destitution Plan. I admire your professionalism!”

Yan Qi was already waiting downstairs. When he saw Xia Jiang, he shook her hand warmly.

He was not saying pleasantries. Instead, he had indeed watched the two interviews and was very appreciative of this’ blank interview’. The ability to outline Boss Pei’s image by interviewing people around Boss Pei matched his true image very well. Such a strong interview foundation could not be underestimated.

At the thought that the person being interviewed had been changed from Boss Pei to him, Yan Qi felt a little excited. It was as if he was walking on a wide path opened by his predecessors. This Chief Editor Xia Jiang was definitely a lucky charm!

Back then, she had interviewed Tengda. Then, Tengda had taken off quickly and been prospering

If he interviewed the Shu Li project team now, perhaps this game would become popular?

Yan Qi warmly led Xia Jiang and the other staff of the official platform’s interview team in and sat down in the conference room that had been arranged.

The other staff were busy setting up the scene, and the photographer was busy looking for cameras and adjusting the equipment.

Xia Jiang had already prepared the interview script. The interview had not started yet. Since there was nothing else for now, they decided to chat for a while.

She sized Yan Qi up and asked, “The project ‘Shu Li’..”

“It was funded by Boss Pei, right?” Yan Qi: “…Huh?” That question stumped him on the spot.

Yan Qi’s expression froze. He did not expect Xia Jiang’s first sentence to be this.

How did she know?

This matter should be kept strictly confidential, right? Could it be that… there was a mole among the core members?

Or did she obtain information from Tengda in advance?

Impossible… there were no such rumors in the outside world.

It was most likely a guess. “Why… why are you asking this?” Yan Qi was a little shocked, but he quickly calmed down. He did not answer directly but chose to ask a question.

Xia Jiang smiled. Actually, she already understood when she saw Yan Qi’s reaction.

She did not expect to really test it out after a surprise attempt!

Xia Jiang smiled. “I guessed!”

“Now, the matter with ‘Shu Li’ is abuzz. The companies that are countering Tengda Alliance are using this as an article to attack Tengda. It almost caused the entire domestic gaming circle to stand. If it were other companies that invested in ‘Shu Li’, they would have long jumped out to report their own name. How can they remain calm?”

“I really can’t think of a second person who does good deeds without leaving a name.”

“Your current expression is simply carved from the same model as Boss Qiu in the independent game incubation base.”

“However, I think… you will be like Boss Qiu, refusing to admit it, right?”

Yan Qi was speechless.

Good lord, is this a professional journalist?

What else could I say after you understood?

However… Boss Qiu’s independent game incubation base, which was the ‘Destitution Plan’, was actually Boss Pei’s industry?

Yan Qi did not have much interaction with the ‘Destitution Plan’ because the ‘Blade of the Empire’ that he had started off with was a mobile game with paywalls. It was not an independent game. What’s more, he had a more complete development team, so he could not obtain the investment of the ‘Destitution Plan’.

His main impression of the ‘Destitution Plan’ was that the ‘Destitution Plan’ had previously provided many outstanding independent games to Dawn Games platform and gave Dawn Games platform a wave of health.

Of course, there should be no concrete proof based on Xia Jiang’s expression.

It was the same for Qiu Hong. He would not admit it even if he was beaten to death.

As long as he did not admit it, as the editor-in-chief, Xia Jiang could not directly write this matter in the report. She could only hint.

As for hinting… his influence was limited.
