Losing Money to Be a Chapter 735 - Assigning Bodyguards To Boss Ma

Chapter 735: Assigning Bodyguards To Boss Ma

November 14th, Monday...

Pei Qian briefly organized his schedule in the office.

This cycle was relatively short. There were still more than two months to settlent. At the mont, it seed like all the projects were progressing smoothly. There should not be any problem.

Soone knocked on his door just as he was considering.

Pei Qian looked up as Ma Yang pushed the door open and entered.

“Eh? You’re back. How was the news conference?” Pei Qian asked casually.

Ma Yang sat down opposite Pei Qian’s desk. “News conference? That was so boring! I almost fell asleep listening to it.”

“However, not to worry, Brother Qian. I didn’t embarrass you. I even asked two questions.”

Pei Qian looked up at him, lowered his head, and continued browsing the web page. “Oh.”

Old Ma asked questions?

It was better not to talk about this topic. It would be very awkward to imagine the scene at that ti.

Pei Qian was not interested in what exactly Old Ma had asked. Old Ma had not even listened to the contents of the news conference seriously. What kind of high-level questions could he ask? It would be good enough if he did not embarrass Tengda.

Of course, it did not matter even if he did lose a little bit of face. One of Pei Qian’s biggest worries was that Tengda and Dream Realization Ventures had too many good reputations. As a result, they had been overly glorified and caused a huge obstacle to his loss.

Ma Yang did not take this matter to heart. He did not bring it up again seeing how Pei Qian was not interested. Instead, he began to talk about the problem that he had been more concerned about recently: becoming an internet celebrity.

“Brother Qian, I’m here today to talk to you about the live-stream.”

“I’m still trying to fulfill people’s dreams through weibo. It’s just that the frequency has decreased by quite a bit, roughly about one to two tis a week now, at a rate of about thirty to fifty thousand yuan each ti.”

Pei Qian was stunned for a mont. “Oh? We can’t be stingy or slack at realizing dreams. We have to persevere since we’re doing this.”

It was originally a good thing for Ma Yang to spread coins on Weibo, but why was it that the frequency of him doing so was getting lower? While the amount of money he spent each ti was still the sa as before, the less he did it, the less he would spend.

Ma Yang replied, “Brother Qian, it’s not that I don’t care. The key is that there were many people who wanted to fulfill their dreams in the beginning. Now, there are fewer and fewer of them. There are fewer and fewer new comnts on Weibo as well. As a ‘dream investor’, I have to keep a close eye on such investnt opportunities. I can’t give money to just anyone.”

Pei Qian was a little confused. “Erm... actually, the aning of dreams is very broad. We can relax the standards a bit.”

Ma Yang waved his hand. “Hey, Brother Qian, I’ve already made it very general, but how can their dreams be considered dreams if they are not passionate about them?”

“So people wrote dicorely on weibo. It’s hard for

to believe that this is their true dream.”

“I even got soone to record all of the dreams and tabulated them. Let

tell you, Brother Qian, I’m not an elite but I’m still smart. No one can fool !”

Pei Qian could not help but fall into silence.

It did not seem realistic to expect Old Ma to distribute money without limit.

Old Ma’s splurge on Weibo depended on whether the idiotic netizens’ dreams were creative or not. He did not pay for all kinds of dreams. Just as Old Ma said, if the paragraphs were not well-written, it ant that these people did not care about their dreams. Old Ma would not give these people money.

In theory, Old Ma’s thinking was right.

However, he only spent thirty to fifty thousand yuan once or twice a week. Wasn’t that too infrequent?

He had used up all the money from Dream Fund previously and Pei Qian had been giving money to Old Ma non-stop when he was giving away money at a neck-breaking speed. However, Old Ma’s efficiency was getting slower.

However, seeing how principled Old Ma was, Pei Qian could not say much.

Ma Yang continued, “There’s also my live-stream live comrce. I’ve already made two episodes so far. It will be the third episode this week.”

“During my live-stream, so staff recorded the video and uploaded it to the Aili Island website. The goods in live comrce were very bad. A few of the smaller brands closed their online stores the next day. A few larger brands also released an urgent notice that all the products involved had been taken off the shelves and changed.”

“A local channel seed to be reporting about this. They’re trying to teach these rchants a lesson. I think I deserve so credit even though they didn’t ntion , right?”

“Sigh, however, Brother Qian, I still don’t quite understand. Is this a live-stream live comrce to sell goods or to destroy goods? The effect seems to be a little different from what I expected.”

Old Ma’s face was filled with pride, but there was also a hint of confusion.

Pei Qian smiled. “Sigh, these are all minor details. Don’t worry.”

Ma Yang pondered for a mont and continued, “Brother Qian, Chen Yufeng told

that while what I’m doing now is reasonable and legal, it’s still a little dangerous. He said that if possible, he wants

to talk to the company and apply for a bodyguard or sothing.”

“I don’t think it’s necessary, but he insisted that I report the situation. So, I want to ask, Brother Qian, what do you think?”

Pei Qian looked at Old Ma, his eyes twinkling. “Bodyguard?”

Ma Yang nodded. “Yes. Brother Qian, you think it’s a little exaggerated too, right?”

Pei Qian raised his hand. “No, not exaggerated at all! Old Ma, I’m just filled with regret. Why didn’t I think of that before?”

“We are a society governed by law, but while we must not have the heart to harm others, we cannot fail to guard against others.”

“How about this? You’re making a sacrifice for the company by showing your face in public. In order to ensure your personal safety, I’ll hire a personal bodyguard for you. I’ll hire him for 100,000 yuan a month. He’ll definitely protect you well!”

Ma Yang was stunned. “Brother Qian, isn’t this a little too high? You don’t even have such a setting for yourself.”

Pei Qian shook his head. “Sigh, you can’t say that. Your job requires you to have a bodyguard. Don’t reject it.”

Ma Yang might say that there was no need but he was still elated to see Pei Qian’s persistence. “Alright, Brother Qian, I’ll accept the company’s arrangent!”

“That’s right, Brother Qian. Recently, a few of my brothers have asked

for tickets to the GPL league. I told them that the company has regulations and that tickets have to be done in a business-like manner. They don’t believe , I have no choice but to ask you for advice.”

Pei Qian nodded. “Yes... I can give you so tickets, but not a lot.”

“How about this? I’ll talk to Shang Yang Gas and ask them to reserve a portion of the tickets for the internal employees. However, the number of tickets and seats must be strictly controlled and not given randomly.”

Ma Yang was now an influential figure in school.

Since Pei Qian had been deliberately hiding his identity, most people in the school only saw him as a small internet celebrity. They saw him as Boss Pei’s actor. They saw him as a high-level employee in Tengda at the very best.

In any case, no one treated him as Boss Pei himself.

However, Ma Yang had never thought of hiding his identity. Everyone knew that Ma Yang was a high-level executive of Tengda. Especially recently, Ma Yang since had been spreading money on Weibo and live-streaming. More people knew about him as the days passed.

Now, Ma Yang rarely appeared in school, he was now afraid of trouble.

However, even if he could avoid trouble in school, he would not be able to avoid his friends.

The good thing was that most of his friends knew their limits, and it was not ti for them to graduate and find a job. Therefore, they were too embarrassed to ask Ma Yang for too much.

It was not too much to ask for a few tickets to the GPL competition.

What’s more, there should be quite a number of internal employees with such needs. It would be better to set the rules as soon as possible so that when the GPL league officially began, the internal employees would not fight with the audience for the tickets. That would not do.

Ma Yang was elated. “Alright, Brother Qian, I have nothing else. I’ll head back to prepare for the next live comrce.”

After sending Ma Yang off, Pei Qian pondered for a mont. It had been so ti since he had visited Shang Yang Gas. Thus, he stood up and headed over to see how the work there was going.

...

In Shang Yang Gas’ conference room...

A few core mbers had arrived. Lin Wan began to report her work situation.

“Boss Pei, Shang Yang Gas is still in charge of two aspects according to the previous work plan. The first is GOG’s overseas operations, and the second is that Wang Xiaobin is in charge of revising old gas.”

“GOG is doing quite well overseas. Even though our marketing campaign has slowed down, GOG’s popularity and market share are still increasing because of its advantages in gaplay, mobile gas, and early-stage operations.”

“For us, spending less money to maintain this rate of growth is very cost-effective.”

“At the mont, GOG’s main job in overseas operations is to promote and operate as usual. They also have to develop the existing characters of Hurricane Comics Company. The response is not bad. They are more suitable for Western players.”

“The developnt of the new version is going smoothly as well. However, due to limited manpower and resources, the working period is relatively short. Thus, they are all modifications that are within the norm.”

Pei Qian nodded.

Yes, that would do.

It would be unrealistic if he did not wish to spend a huge sum of money without producing results.

GOG would be slowly promoted after so small fights. The new version would also be quite standard. Even if they made a profit, they should not make too much. That was good enough.

Lin Wan continued, “Also, Boss Pei, there’s sothing that you might not have paid much attention to. I just happened to see it and would like to just ntion it.”

“Eric has been replaced. Dayak has changed the person in charge of the promotion of IOI’s dostic server.”

Pei Qian was stunned. “Eric? Oh, the person-in-charge of IOI’s dostic server, right?”

Lin Wan nodded. “Yes, it seed to have happened in the past few days. If I’m not wrong, he should have already flown away.”

Pei Qian could not help but fall into silence.

Eric ca and left in a hurry.

Didn’t he say that he was going to make a na for themselves? Didn’t he say that he was going to lead IOI’s local server to et GOG?

In the end, I had just been prepared, nothing had happened yet and Eric had already left?

Things were really... unpredictable.

For so reason, Pei Qian felt emotional.

If he had known earlier, he would have sent him off. What a pity.

“That’s right, Boss Pei.” Lin Wan recalled sothing else.

“I’ve already arranged for the tickets for the GPL league that you ntioned previously. As for the specific location and how the internal employees would obtain these tickets, we’ll have to research further on that.”

“The renovation of the venue for the GPL league has been more or less completed. It’s still the sa venue for GOG’s international finals. However, according to the decisions of the various clubs, they have rearranged the decorations and hung the flags of the various clubs.”

“Of course, the details of the venue have also been optimized according to the suggestions of viewers in the global finals.”

“Why don’t we take so ti out in the afternoon to take a look?”

Pei Qian nodded. “Alright, let’s go take a look.”
