Losing Money to Become a Tycoon: Starting with Games
Recently, a special correspondent conducted an exclusive interview with Pei Qian, President of Tengda Group.
Tengda Group, now valued at hundreds of billions, operates across various sectors such as gaming, internet services, digital hardware, cultural media, and restaurants, significantly impacting numerous aspects of daily life.
Pei Qian himself is widely regarded as the "World’s Best Boss," an unparalleled investment genius, and a brilliant game developer. He is known for his effortless leadership style and keen ability to precisely forecast industry trends.
However, during the interview, Pei Qian expressed deep frustration:
“I’m truly not some kind of business genius!”
“My success is entirely due to luck!”
“My initial goal was merely to lose fifty thousand yuan…”
See? This is exactly how a genuine business genius maintains humility and modesty.
One of my favorite novels I have already read up to date elsewhere, but just to share this awesome read, it deserves a 5-star rating. Anyways, thanks for your efforts.
He needs to lose money to make 100 times that amount from the system, but it doesn't allow fraud or spending the money on anything not considered a business expense. This system is in the background, not OP and doesn't do anything besides providing funds. It's comedic coincidences that cause the games to succeed. It's well worth reading! No knowledge about games, nor specifics about programming are required to read this, and the setting is in a similar but different world. The story tends to avoid going to in-depth on facts or hard numbers on things, for example, there is a list of 100 violations, but they don't all get listed out, the system judges by the spirit of the rules as well as the letter. As you can expect, he goes on to pay his employees very well, with a lot of the comedy being from him buying the most expensive things he's possibly allowed to. The story's done well with him progressing in game size, starting off with a small, terrible game designed to annoy and be boring, then a phone card game, then moving onto a zombies style FPS. He never does marketing and reduces his profits whenever possible by making the games cheap with only 1 micro-transaction each game so far, which inevitably backfires! He does also sometimes succeed in failing XD. I highly recommend reading this. Thanks for the chapters!
