Chapter 1059 - God’s Wound Healed On Its Own…

May 23rd, Wednesday…

Pei Qian arrived at the office early in the morning just like yesterday, happily waiting for Assistant Xin to report on work.

This building should have been sold yesterday, right?

The price was not high to begin with. Shouldn’t everyone fight for such a good deal?

At the very least, many people would want to make a deal.

However, Assistant Xin did not report to him after waiting for a long time.

“Strange, where’s Assistant Xin? Why does she seem so unreliable recently?”

“It’s just a building. Is it that difficult?”

Pei Qian took out his cell phone and called Assistant Xin.

“How are the sales arrangements going? Have you found the buyer?”

“Even if it’s not decided, there should be companies interested in buying it, right?”

“Do they think the price is too high? We can discuss the specific conditions.”

Assistant Xin replied, “Er… Boss Pei, are we still selling our building?”

Pei Qian was stunned. “What do you mean? Of course I’m selling.”

Assistant Xin hesitated for a moment. “However… Boss Pei, so far, no company has any intention of acquiring that building. They are not even willing to discuss it in detail.”

“I asked the bosses of several companies. They said that they respected Tengda very much and did not want to take advantage of it.”

“What’s more…”

“The smart fitness drying rack has been sold out. Recently, sales of several games in our company, especially mobile games, have increased significantly. Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, Fish-Catching Take-Out, and other physical industries seem to have reached a peak in customer traffic. On top of that, cell phones and other industries’ income…”

“We have enough money. There were some gaps previously, but not only have we made up for them, we have also earned a lot.”

“Since there’s no problem with the funds, why should we sell the buildings?”

“That is a building that you have carefully selected after all. It is prepared to be used for Sloth Apartments. It would be best if you don’t sell it, right?”

On the other end of the line, Pei Qian was at a loss for words. He fell into a daze.

“What? What did they say? They don’t want to take advantage of the situation?” Pei Qian almost thought that he had heard wrongly.

Tengda might have developed quite well in Jingzhou, but it had not deliberately befriended any local companies, much less large foreign companies.

He was only connected to Boss Li’s Fu Hui Investments and the Lin Family’s Shenhua Corporation. However, Pei Qian did not take the initiative to befriend them. It was purely a coincidence.

Therefore, Tengda Corporation did not have much of a relationship with Jingzhou’s local companies and some large real estate companies.

Yet, these people said that they respected Tengda and did not want to take advantage of it?

Pei Qian was almost speechless. He could not wait to beg them to take advantage of the situation and share some of the pressure!

Assistant Xin said, “Yes, Boss Pei. I spoke to a few bosses. They all said that Tengda is a model of Jingzhou Corporation and admire the business myth that you created from scratch. They also said that Tengda is in trouble now. If you need help, they can lend a hand at any time.”

“As for buying a building, there was no need. They say that they might be businessmen, but they also know what to do and what not to do. They cannot do things that will make them criticized by the people of Jingzhou.”

Pei Qian: “…”

He suddenly had the urge to throw his cell phone on the ground.

That’s crazy!

The business world was like a battlefield. This was not a place that emphasized human emotions. Why were you being so polite to me?!

Pei Qian paused for a long time before asking, “What about the growth of the game?”

Assistant Xin answered, “I did not investigate this carefully. However, I guess that it was because gamers spontaneously bought our game after it was exposed online that Tengda was in a financial crisis. In addition to the aftershocks of the 515 Games Day event, our game income increased significantly.”

“The income growth of other physical industries might also be because of this.”

“Also… some companies seem to be doing their best to help us after knowing that we’re in a difficult situation. It might have some impact.”

Pei Qian frowned slightly. “Help as much as they can?”

Assistant Xin: “Yes, Shenhua Corporation, Jinding Corporation, and Fu Hui Investments seem to be seeking to cooperate with our company. They are giving us some benefits.”

Pei Qian was utterly speechless.

Li Shi! Lin Chang!

It’s you two again!

Wasn’t that a scam?

What are you all trying to do!

Pei Qian was furious. He had planned to sell the buildings after saving money for the game, and then continue to spend money. If the players were happy, Boss Pei would be happy as well.

He did not expect this building to be unable to sell!

What was worse was that not only were the buildings not sold, but they were also spending more and more money!

Once the news of Tengda’s intention to sell the building spread, gamers and companies that had worked with Tengda swarmed over, desperately giving Tengda money!

What should Pei Qian do?

Assistant Xin asked, “Then… Boss Pei, are you still selling the building?”

Pei Qian remained silent for a long time. “Not selling anymore…”

How was he supposed to sell it now?

This building was no longer a simple building in the eyes of many. It was a barometer of Tengda’s current financial situation.

Selling buildings meant that Tengda’s capital flow was not good. Gamers would burst out with unprecedented enthusiasm and charge in the game. They could not let Tengda collapse.

Players would only feel that Tengda’s crisis was over if they gave up on selling the buildings. They would not continue to charge money.

What’s more, he had a lot of funds now. How would he spend the extra money if he sold the building?

After hanging up, Pei Qian felt melancholic.

Even though he had to reconsider how to spend money even if he sold the building, he had to reconsider how to spend money even if he did not sell the building now. The two moods were worlds apart!

Pei Qian briefly considered the new spending plan.

There was already a wave of activity on the 515 Games Day. If Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation did not continue to upgrade the burning war, the System would probably not allow him to burn money on a larger scale.

However, Pei Qian felt that Eric would not give up so easily.

I already believed you when you said that you wanted to burn money until Tengda’s capital chain ruptures. Don’t lie to me!

Thus, Pei Qian planned to divide the funds that he had and could obtain in the future into three parts.

Part of it was left to the domestic market to deal with the burning war between Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation that could be upgraded. The other part was scattered overseas to continue burning money to promote GOG’s overseas league. The other part was left to the first large store that was about to officially open for business.

At the moment, Tengda had a shop in the shopping mall. However, it was too small and was only rented for Tian Mo to practice.

After training for so long, Tian Mo should have already memorized the rules of the sales department.

Pei Qian had secretly gone there a few times and confirmed that Tian Mo had strictly followed his instructions to receive customers. He could basically relax now.

The new large store had been handed over to Liang Qingfan to design. The renovations should be completed this week and they would officially move in.

Pei Qian planned to leave a sum of money for the layout of the shop, recruit salesmen, and other expenses.

If this sales department could operate completely according to plan, the more shops there were, the more salesmen there would be, but it would not affect the sales of the goods much. Wouldn’t that spend a lot of money?

Pei Qian switched on his computer and painstakingly planned the next phase of spending money.

…

At the same time, in the headquarters of Long Yu Corporation in Shanghai.

Zhao Xuming hurriedly knocked on Eric’s office door.

“This is bad!”

“Tengda’s building is no longer for sale!”

Eric could not help but be shocked. “How can that be? Has the pressure on Tengda’s funds been released?”

Zhao Xuming nodded. “I think so! After the news of Tengda’s funding problem spread, gamers spent on their industries. The smart fitness drying rack’s inventory was quickly sold out. There seemed to be several companies secretly helping…”

Zhao Xuming quickly reported what he knew.

He might not be able to understand it so clearly, but the rankings of Tengda’s various games on the best-selling charts, the flow of people in various Fish-Catching Internet Cafe branches, and the changes in the sales volume of the smart fitness drying rack were all obvious. He could easily find out.

Combined with these figures and the news that Tengda was no longer selling buildings, even the idiotic netizens could deduce a simple fact: Tengda was rich again!

Eric froze, disbelief written all over his face.

For a moment, he could not accept this fact.

Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation were burning money with all their might. Dayak Corporation had also specially taken out a large sum of money to help. What’s more, they were still holding back while burning money. All sorts of burning money activities, be it lucky draws or discounts, could recover to a certain extent.

Even so, it was painful to burn money. Eric would not have been able to persevere if not for his determination and perseverance.

On the other hand, Tengda had set up a 515 Games Day. It was a pure free gift. Obviously, it would burn more money than Finger Games, and the effect would be better.

He had thought that he had finally pushed Tengda to its limits and was starting to sell its buildings. Even though it was still too early to see the light of victory, it at least proved that Tengda was not invincible, even Gods would bleed.

However, the current situation was that God was indeed bleeding. However, the wound healed by itself in less than two minutes!

One had to know that Tengda had not received a few payments. The expenses of various projects were still going as per normal.

Under such circumstances, Tengda managed to survive the crisis without any suspense by relying on the players’ spontaneous transfusions and the help of some brother companies?

Eric had originally wanted to continue organizing events and seizing the market while Tengda’s funds were still in a tight spot.

However, Tengda was ready before their event even started!

Eric felt that his worldview had been subverted. “It can actually be like this? The players are fighting to give money just because there’s a slight financial tension?!”

“This is unbelievable!”

Eric could not imagine what this was like.

If there was a problem with Finger Games’ capital chain, would players buy skins and help Finger Games survive?

There was no doubt that it was impossible!

Only a very small number of companies in the world had such appeal. Not only did such companies produce good products, but they also became the spiritual support in many people’s hearts. Only then could they call for help!

Zhao Xuming sighed as well. “I thought that Boss Pei was courting death with this move. I never thought that he found a way to survive through death!”

“Could it be that Boss Pei had already expected that Tengda’s reputation, which had been built up over the years, would play a key role at this time? That’s why he was so relaxed and daring to spend money without worrying about the capital chain?”

“Then our next step…”

Zhao Xuming’s voice became softer and softer.

Both of them knew the current situation very well.

It was as if they were fighting a boss. They had given it their all and even consumed medicine and props. They saw the light of victory seeing that the boss could not take it anymore.

However, the boss squatted on the ground, took two deep breaths and his health bar was full again!

This feeling was truly despairing.

Eric was silent for a moment. He suddenly thought of something and quickly said, “The marketing plan for the new phase has been shelved for now. Don’t go on it!”

“There must be a trap!”

They had thought that Tengda’s funds were running out and that they would not be able to make it in the short term. Thus, they had already formulated a plan to burn money in the next stage. They wanted to take advantage of Tengda’s weakness to snatch a huge piece of the market.

However, when he realized that Tengda seemed to have been prepared and ready for battle, Eric suddenly became terrified.

Boss Pei’s methods were unpredictable and impossible to guard against. What was even scarier was that Boss Pei seemed to always be ahead.

What if Boss Pei had already predicted Long Yu Corporation’s plan to burn money and was prepared to stop them?

If he continued to foolishly burn money according to his original plan, he might fall into Boss Pei’s trap!

Eric said, “Cancel all of our plans. We’ll wait and see what Boss Pei does!”

“We cannot be tricked by Boss Pei again!”

Zhao Xuming nodded immediately. “Understood!”
