Pei Qian clicked it open and saw that there were over twenty people, both men and women. Since it was a liberal arts major, there were more girls.

Most of the resumes were very clean, with basically no honors and not many special skills.

As for appearance, to put it politely, they were all very ordinary.

This was normal. If they were pretty girls, even if they didn't have much ability, companies would be willing to hire them for administrative positions as eye candy.

Those who were left over until July basically had the following advantages:

Poor grades, unable to get recommended for postgraduate studies;

No connections or background in their families, unable to arrange jobs;

Basically hadn't done any student work or part-time jobs, unable to find jobs themselves.

In short, they were too perfect!

Well, had he really received a group of slackers this time?

Pei Qian was particularly satisfied. After casually flipping through them, he decided to take them all!

So, as the saying goes, there is no such thing as garbage in this world, only misplaced resources.

To Pei Qian, these people were definitely misplaced resources!

"However, I have to consider what kind of work to arrange for them."

Pei Qian thought about the job positions he currently had on hand.

Arrange them to the game department?

Not appropriate.

The game department's framework was already well-established, and it was running without any problems.

These people would only be doing odd jobs if they went to the game department. Even if their work ability was particularly poor, it wouldn't be enough to ruin the game.

Pei Qian couldn't directly parachute them into the game department to take on management positions. That would be too unreasonable and would arouse suspicion.

Send them to Moyu Internet Cafe?

The positions there were mainly physical labor, such as waiters and delivery drivers. After all, these people were his senior classmates. It wouldn't be appropriate to arrange for them to wipe tables. It wouldn't sound good.

Moreover, anyone could do this kind of physical work, so it wouldn't be able to fully utilize their value.

"Why not arrange a new company for them?"

Pei Qian had a flash of inspiration. He had an idea.

Open another company, put all these people in it, and let them shine brightly, how wonderful!

Of course, the boss of this new company had to be one of his own people.

On the one hand, this boss couldn't engage in petty tricks, tax evasion, or anything like that. Although these students were his senior classmates, they were all strangers after all, and Pei Qian couldn't trust them.

On the other hand, letting them directly become management would not make sense from a rational point of view and would easily arouse suspicion.

Pei Qian would first find a lucky person from his own company and have them open a new company, equipped with finance, administration, and other personnel, and then recruit all these people. This would be much more reasonable.

After that, the company would operate normally and start losing money. Everything was so perfect.

Pei Qian considered it for two minutes and immediately had an idea.

Wasn't there still a hidden danger that hadn't been resolved?

Perfect, let's solve it together this time!

That Ma Yiqun from before was still writing copy and plot in Tengda Games.

He was originally recruited as a mascot to neutralize Pei Qian's good luck.

It was just that it was a bit unreasonable to let Ma Yiqun do nothing all the time, so Pei Qian reluctantly arranged for him to be responsible for the game's plot.

As a result, Ma Yiqun beautified the copywriting and added a lot of points to the text content of several games.

He definitely had to find a way to get rid of this kind of person!

This time, the opportunity was just right.

As for what to have him do...

Pei Qian had already planned it.

Start an online novel website!

First of all, this was Ma Yiqun's dream. Helping employees realize their dreams has always been President Pei's motto.

Secondly, Ma Yiqun had proven that he was not cut out for this line of work after repeatedly failing to write books. Pei Qian was very relieved to let him be in charge of this company.

Finally, it was relatively easy to lose money in the online literature industry.

This world already had a very mature online novel website called Infinite Chinese Network, which had developed into a large-scale website. Some capital had also tried to do this, but only a small number succeeded, and most of them failed.

And Pei Qian was now doing this completely as a joke. Invest a sum of money, support a group of editors and authors, and under the leadership of Ma Yiqun, he would definitely lose money!

Actually, thinking about it now, starting an online literature website was something that could have been launched a long time ago.

The amount of investment in this industry varies greatly. One million had one million's worth of gameplay, and one hundred million had one hundred million's worth of gameplay.

If he spent money to poach the top writers from various websites, buy out their copyrights at high prices, open up sales channels, operate copyrights, etc., that would require a lot of money.

But if he was just building an ordinary website, recruiting a batch of editors, and collecting some failed manuscripts at low prices, symbolically giving them a little attendance bonus, buying a cloud server and a domain name online, then about a million in funds would be enough to play around with.

Pei Qian considered that he could first throw a million or so to Ma Yiqun to play around with. If he could really lose money, then he would increase his efforts later.

Thinking of this, Pei Qian was in a great mood.

...

...

In the afternoon, Pei Qian came to the company.

First of all, Pei Qian had to arrange the work of the game department.

After updating the DLC before, the game department had been slacking off for a while. Now that the new cycle had begun, Pei Qian had to get everyone busy again.

After all, the system stipulates that they cannot be passive and cannot be without products for a long time.

Everyone was also looking forward to the research and development plan for the next new game.

However, Pei Qian did not call everyone to a meeting this time. After all, there were too many people now, and the conference room could no longer fit them.

He only called Lu Mingliang, Bao Xu, and a few core members of the department.

Pei Qian would still tell them his general ideas this time, and set the game's direction. As for the specific details, he would let them play freely.

Mainly, even if Pei Qian wanted to set the details, he couldn't set them. He didn't have the ability...

Soon, everyone arrived.

Lin Wan was also there, holding a small notebook, ready to take notes seriously.

Ma Yiqun was also there. Although he didn't have a notebook, he was also very serious.

Pei Qian thought silently, "I'll arrange both of you after the meeting!"

Pei Qian had been considering for a long time about what to do with this game, and he had a rough idea.

According to previous experience, the mistakes he had made must not be repeated.

Due to the existence of the system, Pei Qian could not make a bad game and sell it at a high price to deceive people. Although the price could fluctuate within a certain range, the overall pricing had to roughly match the investment.

At the same time, with the influence of the previous few hit games, many players were staring at Tengda's new game.

This new game would most likely be popular before it was even made. It was impossible to hope that it would not be promoted, and then the game would be unknown and unheard of, like *Lonely Desert Road* and *Ghost General*.

In that case, he had to make a niche game, a game with a good reputation, and invest a lot of money. Even if players knew about it, most people would still not buy or play it!

Pei Qian knew a lot of games like this.

Soulslike games, or some extremely difficult side-scrolling games, were this type.

Pei Qian didn't plan to make a side-scrolling game, mainly because the investment was too small, and he wouldn't lose much money.

If he was going to do it, he would make a big production and spend more money on art resources.

Of course, Pei Qian also knew that Miyazaki Hidetaka's Soulslike games were very successful and sold very well, and were definitely not games that would lose money.

But when considering the problem, he had to consider many factors comprehensively.

Any type of game could be a flop or a hit. The key was how to operate the details.

Many manufacturers also wanted to copy Soulslike games, but which one had succeeded?

In the end, they all flopped, proving that this approach only worked for Miyazaki Hidetaka.

Pei Qian didn't think he had Miyazaki Hidetaka's ability.

Besides, he couldn't perfectly reproduce the Souls series even if he wanted to. He didn't have that much money.

Including the 8 million that the system originally had, plus the income from several games and miscellaneous items, deducting various expenses...

Now Pei Qian could squeeze out a maximum of about 20 million for this new game.

With this little money, it wasn't enough to make a truly meaningful AAA game.

The number of R&D personnel was almost enough. After all, a game like *Metro 2033* was made by 30 people. Pei Qian now had six or seventy R&D personnel on hand, and he would have to recruit more later.

But considering that the R&D time was only four months, this manpower would still be tight, and the game content would have to be further compressed.

In other words, he could only make a miniature version, and the game content would be greatly reduced.

This further increased the chances of failure!
