Losing Money to Be a Chapter 402 - How to Thank Boss Pei

Chapter 402 How to Thank Boss Pei

January 22nd, Saturday...

Pei Qian was in a good mood last night. Moreover, he had a little wine with Cui Geng at the Ming House so he slept very well.

He woke up naturally at nine in the morning.

He glanced at his phone after he woke up. There was a mo on it. “Go to Huanyu Tianjie and take a look at the shared phone booth.”

Pei Qian took his ti, preparing to head to the stead bun shop downstairs for breakfast before heading over.

Pei Qian received another news when the stead buns were brought out. Huang Sibo, “Boss Pei, the rough cut of the film is out. Would you like to take a look?”

Hmm? Rough cut?

Director Zhu Xiaoce did seem to ntion this when the crew was eating at Ming Yun Private Kitchen. The so-called rough cut version was just a product of simple editing with the material that was shot. There would be no special effects yet, and one had to be imaginative with a lot of the content.

However, it was still a complete film in which you could see sothing.

Pei Qian considered it. It seed like this was more important. He could go to the phone booth in the afternoon. He then replied, “Okay, I’ll be there soon.”

He was about to keep his phone when he realized sothing was wrong.

“Today is Saturday. You are working overti?”

Huang Sibo replied in no ti, “Um, Boss Pei, we paid overti.”

Pei Qian put on a tough attitude. “You cannot work overti so self-righteously even if you are giving overti pay! Avoid it at all costs in the future!”

Huang Sibo, “I understand, Boss Pei.”

Fei Huang Workspace was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tengda, not a departnt. Pei Qian was not able to be too strict with the overti for it. He could only chide Huang Sibo and let him carry it out by himself.

Pei Qian might not have asked much from Fei Huang Workspace, but he definitely had to take the trip to Fei Huang Workspace. He had to give himself reassurance since the rough cut of the film was already out.

Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, Handong University branch...

Lin Chang ordered a cup of hot coffee and drank it while warming his hands. He still felt a little dusty. He just ca from the airport and had yet to settle down.

The first thing he did when arriving in Jingzhou was to co to the Fish-Catching Internet Cafe near Handong University, hoping to et Boss Pei to discuss the progress of the previous plan.

AS

Unfortunately, he only knew that Boss Pei had reached Fei Huang Workspace and was watching the rough cut samples when he sent the news.

He would need at least three hours to watch the clips and travel.

Moreover, Boss Pei said that he had a matter he had delayed for a very long ti to deal with in the afternoon. He might be delayed for at least another hour.

Lin Chang estimated that he would only be able to et Boss Pei at three to four in the afternoon.

Now, that was awkward.

Lin Chang knew that Boss Pei was usually busy at work. He fully understood that, but he did not plan to just sit around and wait either. He decided to et Lin Wan and observe the progress for a while.

Previously, Lin Chang and Boss Pei conspired pretty well to let Lin Wan be in charge of the horror gas of Shang Yang Gas while being in charge of the cell phone business.

There were many complications on both sides which greatly increased the chance of failure for Lin Wan’s projects.

The two of them originally considered leaving room for maneuver.

To better combat the mobile phone business, they were considering releasing a mobile phone here.

Lin Yu was in charge of developing a benchmark mobile phone in Shenhua’s cell phone departnt. The quality of the phone would be a bit better and would be a little cheaper. Their publicity would also be a little better.

Such close-contact combat was to eliminate hidden dangers in the budding stage enough for them to remain invincible.

However, Boss Pei sent Lin Chang a ssage when this mobile phone was developed halfway: ‘there was no need for this backup plan.’

This cell phone was going for 8,000 yuan. Shenhua’s flagship cell phone could already et the requirents for ‘higher quality, lower price, and better publicity’. There was no need to build a targeted mobile phone.

Therefore, there was no need for this back up plan.

Lin Wan arrived just as he was thinking. She sat down opposite of Lin Chang and ordered a coffee as well. She then frowned and asked, “Brother, why are you here again?”

Lin Chang’s mouth twitched. “What do you an by ‘again’? Can’t I see my own sister?”

Lin Wan looked on with disbelief. “I feel like you’re running here very frequently. Do you have so ulterior motive?”

“How is that possible?! I just like the livable Jingzhou environnt!” Lin Chang smiled rather unassumingly. “Also, don’t I have to co over and see you frequently? How are you doing? Everything going well?”

Lin Wan swirled the coffee in her cup. “It’s still alright.”

Lin Chang couldn’t help but be secretly delighted by Lin Wan’s low spirits.

There might be an opportunity!

Lin Wan would have boasted about it if these two projects were progressing well. The two projects must not be going well since Lin Wan was not boasting!

He was rejoicing within, but he could not show it on his face.

Instead, Lin Chang showed a face full of concern. “Why, did you et so difficulties? Do you have anything that you need help with? Let Bro know, and I’ll do my best to help you!”

Lin Wan glanced at him. “Forget it, one of my projects is a horror ga; the other is a cell phone. Which can you help

with?”

“These projects are still ongoing. There might be so progress, but I still don’t have much confidence in them.”

“The horror ga does not have any problem with its general frawork, but there are many small details that need to be modified. Moreover, even if these small details are done, it would be difficult to gauge if the players would accept this new type of horror ga...

“So I’m a bit worried.

“Fortunately, we have a very powerful artistic big boss who has been adjusting the ga style and enriching the ga details with us. It looked a lot better recently.

“For the cell phone... sigh. To be honest, I really cannot do it.

“A horror ga alone is enough of a headache so I did not have much ti for the cell phone. The staff gave

a brick-like prototype the last ti I visited. I felt it was a huge problem even then.

“The prototypes have been made even though I have not been involved in their developnt. It’s impossible to tell them to overthrow and start over.

“I can only wait until the cell phone is made and run to the other departnts of Tengda to ask for a bit of welfare. That would be considered a contribution.

“Even so, I think this cell phone will be a flop.” Lin Wan’s relationship with Lin Chang had always been good. She did not think so much during the eting and revealed everything – her confusion and distress—to him.

Lin Chang looked worried for Lin Wan on the surface, frowning deeply; but he was jumping for joy within.

Great Boss Pei, this plan is truly perfect! Ah Wan has yet to notice anything.

The blow to Ah Wan will definitely not be small if they were to maintain the current status with the horror gas and the cell phone hitting the market together!

Lin Chang could not help to feel elastic when he thought of that. He then whispered, “It seems like I have to find a way to thank Boss

Pei.”

Lin Wan frowned. “Hm? What did you say? Why thank Boss Pei?”

Lin Chang was shocked. You heard my whispers?

“What I an is that Boss Pei trusts you so much, giving you such an important responsibility. As an older brother, I will definitely have to find an opportunity to thank Boss Pei as well!” Lin Chang hurriedly explained, seeing a hint of suspicion from Lin Wan’s gaze.

Lin Wan’s expression lightened. “That’s true.” “However, Boss Pei doesn’t seem to need anything.” Lin Chang thought for a while. “What about if we ask Second Brother to forgo his rent?

“Or I can go and take care of his Fish-Catching Internet Cafe business?”

Lin Wan shook her head. “That feels as insincere. Boss Pei doesn’t care about such a small change.”

Lin Chang agreed. “That’s true. These small favors are not enough to repay Boss Pei’s sincerity. Then... is there anything Boss Pei urgently needs? It’s best if it’s sothing I can help out with.”

Lin Wan frowned and thought for two minutes.

“Aha! You know that the movie Fei Huang Workspace was filming recently was finished,

right?”

Lin Chang thought for a while. Boss Pei did say that he was going to watch the rough cut version so he nodded.

Lin Wan continued, “The movie was Boss Pei’s creativity. The entire story summary was written by Boss Pei himself. That effort in itself shows the great importance he must attach to this movie.”

Lin Chang was a little puzzled. “So? If you had told

earlier, I could have found a good director and a few popular celebrities. It’s useless now that it’s done filming.” He paused understanding imdiately. “Oh, I understand now! You want

to help contact the distributors and theaters?”.

Lin Wan nodded. “Yes, it’s simple to you, but it’s sothing urgent that Boss Pei requires now.”

Good wine needed no bush[1].

as

Lin Chang gave it so thought. That was really the case.

The Tengda Corporation might be big under Boss Pei, but it was Fei Huang Workspace’s first film. They did not have relevant contacts and resources.

However, Lin Chang was different. He was responsible for the entertainnt, television, and dia business of Shenhua Corporation. He had lots of resources on hand.

“Alright, consider it done! I’ll let Boss Pei know now!” Lin Chang was very happy, thinking that his ‘thank you’ gift should be quite sincere.”

Lin Wan waved her hand dismissively. “Uh... I think there is no need to tell Boss Pei. Boss Pei has been very busy with work recently. He shouldn’t be bothered with such trivialities. “What about I just give you the number of the person-in-charge of Fei Huang Workspace for you to contact?

“Won’t it be better to give Boss Pei a surprise when the movie is released?”

Lin Chang thought about it; that seed right as well.

Boss Pei was going to at least three places today. There was also a long-delayed job to deal with, which showed that he had a very full schedule.

Thinking about it this way, the people from Fei Huang Workspace must be responsible for things like film distribution, talks with theater chains, and the like. Such trivial matters could not be the responsibility of Boss Pei, right?

Wouldn’t it be much more splendid if he were to et the people from Fei Huang Workspace to get it done and give Boss Pei a surprise?

Lin Chang nodded as he thought of this. “Okay, give

the contact of the person-in-charge of Fei Huang Workspace then. I’ll talk to him.”
