Chapter 205 Misunderstanding

Pei Qian had now roughly determined that Tang Yishu's aura effect didn't cause problems in games that had none.

Although she had a special, and very mystical, aura of bad luck, its effects were conditional.

For example, tripping over shoelaces was a low-probability event, but near Tang Yishu, it was much more likely to happen.

But if you wore shoes without laces, it couldn't happen.

In other words, Tang Yishu's aura was like an amplifier, significantly increasing the likelihood of certain low-probability unlucky events.

The same applied to game bugs.

Many of Tenda's older games also had bugs, but these weren't created out of thin air. They had always been there, but their appearance rate was too low, so they were rarely encountered.

However, under the influence of Tang Yishu's aura, these low-probability bugs would appear.

On the surface, it seemed like there were more bugs, but in reality, many bugs that were originally deeply hidden and had a low trigger rate were being activated.

In a normal environment, many of Ye Zhizhou's demo's bugs were hidden and not necessarily encountered.

But once under Tang Yishu's aura, the demo became unplayable.

Pei Qian was very satisfied with this.

Before, every time he went for an inspection, it was always good news, which was too much to bear.

Finally encountering some setbacks was truly gratifying!

He wished he could be this happy every day.

When good things happen to a person, he feels refreshed.

Pei Qian sent a message to his driver, Xiao Sun: "After lunch, come with me to the old factory area in the old industrial zone."

"I want to do some preliminary planning for the haunted house."

...

...

Afternoon.

Old Industrial Zone, Jingzhou City.

Pei Qian got out of the car, and his first feeling was that it was too damn far!

It took a full hour to drive here from the company.

The Old Industrial Zone was in the northeast of Jingzhou, while Jingzhou was basically expanding to the west and south.

Ming Yun Manor was in the southeast direction of Jingzhou, which could勉强say that it might develop in the future, but the Old Industrial Zone... basically had no such possibility.

Looking around, Pei Qian realized that his previous expectations for the Old Industrial Zone were a bit off.

Pei Qian originally thought that it would just be a bit remote and lack supporting facilities.

But now, what was with the weeds growing everywhere in this factory area?

The surrounding buildings were all in the style of the last century, completely different from the center of Jingzhou.

Moreover, almost all the factories here had been shut down. The few that were still in use were busy relocating and handling the aftermath.

There weren't any large residential buildings nearby either. Even if there were, they were all old buildings that looked dilapidated, and probably didn't have many residents.

This was during the day.

If it were at night, Pei Qian probably wouldn't dare to come here alone.

"President Pei, watch your step."

Xiao Sun led the way.

Pei Qian looked around, his gaze sweeping over the huge factories.

No wonder the rent was so cheap. If this place were to be renovated, no matter what it was used for, it would be a huge project, and it would definitely cost a lot of money.

If the cost couldn't be recovered, the money would be wasted. No wonder no one wanted to take it over.

Pei Qian looked into the distance, but still couldn't see the boundary of the entire Old Industrial Zone.

The area of the entire Old Industrial Zone was too large. If it were all rented and converted into a haunted house, the investment would probably be at least several hundred million, which was unrealistic.

Therefore, Pei Qian was considering choosing a few large factories, renting a few thousand square meters, and converting them into a haunted house would be about right.

It wouldn't be safe to make the scale too large.

Many haunted houses were popular because they were too large and too scary, attracting horror movie and horror game enthusiasts from all over the world.

Pei Qian only hoped to be able to spend as much money as possible without becoming famous or attracting too many tourists.

Therefore, the scale must be controlled.

It shouldn't be so large that everyone knows about it, but it must be scary enough, at least enough to scare Ruan Guangjian so Pei Qian could vent his hatred.

This place was too remote and inconvenient to access. As long as it wasn't too famous, there wouldn't be many tourists coming from all over the country.

Relying solely on local tourists in Jingzhou definitely couldn't support daily profits.

Thus, this haunted house would become Pei Qian's little black room. Every time an enemy on his little notebook visited, he would arrange for them to go in.

He could lose money and take revenge at the same time.

It was a win-win situation, simply perfect.

Pei Qian and Xiao Sun walked a little further inside and tried to see the situation inside the factories.

In short, it was a mess, and there was no value in continuing to look.

"Let's go."

Pei Qian only wandered around here for five minutes before calling it quits.

Xiao Sun quickly followed and asked, "President Pei, do you want to go to other places to take a look? There are many places that can be used as haunted house locations."

Pei Qian was stunned: "What are we going to other places for? This is it."

Xiao Sun: "Uh..."

He misunderstood.

Xiao Sun originally thought that President Pei wanted to leave after only walking around here for five minutes because he was definitely very dissatisfied with this place.

If he was interested, he would definitely wander around more.

Therefore, Xiao Sun was wondering if he should drive President Pei to the next haunted house location.

However, he guessed wrong.

President Pei was very satisfied with this place and had already decided to go back.

But...

This was also a project worth several million or even tens of millions. Was it not too hasty to make a decision after only looking at it for five minutes?

However, Xiao Sun quickly dispelled this thought from his mind.

What kind of person was President Pei? Would he make a hasty decision?

He must have understood the situation well enough before coming, so he only needed five minutes to verify his previous thoughts.

This was planning ahead and winning from a thousand miles away...

...

Back at the company, Pei Qian began to think about how to do this haunted house project.

It was relatively easy to lose money by making a haunted house.

Especially a haunted house in a fixed location.

Because haunted houses were basically a one-time consumption. Most tourists would probably not go a second time after playing once.

Unless there were special purposes such as picking up girls, or the haunted house was renovated with new themes and new gameplay.

However, in places like haunted houses, the cost of renovating once was not cheap, and it was impossible to operate during the renovation period, so the input and output were not proportional.

Therefore, haunted houses were basically in three modes:

The first type was some super-large haunted houses abroad. Because the scale was too large and the reputation was outside, tourists from all over the world came to experience it.

With such a huge tourist group, both ticket sales and peripheral sales would be good, which could naturally guarantee a very rich income.

The second type was mobile haunted houses, which would open in a large shopping mall in a certain city for a period of time and then change to another city, so that they could always ensure a new source of customers.

Many domestic haunted houses used this model.

The third type was to build the haunted house in a large amusement park. As long as the flow of visitors to the amusement park could be guaranteed, then the flow of visitors to the haunted house would not be bad.

Pei Qian didn't consider any of these three models.

Because he didn't plan to make money in the first place.

He wanted to learn from the failure experience of most haunted houses and open a haunted house in a fixed location with a scale sufficient to scare people, but not famous throughout the country.

In this way, even if people near Jingzhou came to visit, the situation might look good in the short term, but in the long term, it would definitely be a huge loss.

Pei Qian didn't have a very clear idea about what specific projects to do.

But there was no need to worry about this matter. First, he had to find someone in charge of the haunted house project.

Pei Qian was too busy now, and he couldn't do everything himself.

Besides, Pei Qian didn't want to get involved in the haunted house business.

On the one hand, it was because the haunted house was too scary and Pei Qian was timid; on the other hand, it was because Pei Qian was worried that the haunted house he designed wouldn't be scary.

Although a non-scary haunted house was more likely to lose money, Pei Qian would rather choose the latter between losing money and being scary.

After all, this haunted house had a special mission. President Pei was counting on this haunted house to arrange the enemies on his little notebook.

If the haunted house wasn't scary, and President Pei was counter-killed by the enemies on his little notebook, it would be too embarrassing.

Pei Qian thought for a while, there were internal spies in the company recently, so he had to arrange a wave in advance.

Chen Kangtuo, it's you!

Go and be responsible for the haunted house project!

This arrangement could be said to be a win-win situation.

First of all, Chen Kangtuo was a workaholic, so getting rid of him could purify the company's atmosphere well.

Secondly, Chen Kangtuo had a serious work attitude, so letting him be responsible for the haunted house project should be able to complete the task well.

In addition to this, Pei Qian also thought of a special use for this haunted house.

The first elimination system could only eliminate those who were too talented, but Pei Qian had no way to deal with those who were generally excellent and liked to work overtime secretly.

But now, he could throw them all to the haunted house!

Because this was a project destined not to make money, they didn't have to worry about them tossing around no matter what.

Pei Qian was more and more satisfied, he could only say that this was fate!

If he hadn't accidentally met Tang Yishu, Pei Qian wouldn't have realized that someone was secretly working overtime on weekends, and naturally he wouldn't have found Chen Kangtuo.

Fate, it's wonderful.

However, wouldn't it be a little lonely if there was only Chen Kangtuo?

Should he arrange some helpers for him? For example, arrange a few more workaholics from Shang Yang Games to work on the haunted house together?

Well, that's a good idea.

The people from Shang Yang Games had been playing horror games for more than a month, maybe they had some experience in this area.

He had to arrange a few more professional people to make the haunted house scarier, at least to scare Ruan Guangjian so he peed his pants.

Thinking of this, Pei Qian sent a message to Lin Wan.

"Choose the most motivated ordinary employee from Shang Yang Games."

"I have a new task for him."

...

...

The next morning.

Bao Xu arrived at the company on time as usual and sat down at his seat.

He opened Zhongdian Chinese Website and then opened the document, carefully modifying it.

However, after only a few minutes of modification, he felt something was wrong.

Bao Xu quickly scanned the audience, wanting to find the source of this uneasy feeling.

Finally, his gaze fell on an empty seat.

Chen Kangtuo didn't come to work today.

Not only that, but his personal belongings on his work station were also gone!

If he was sick and asked for leave, was it necessary to take away his personal belongings as well?

Bao Xu felt cold all over.

What happened to him?

Did he disappear from the world?
