Chapter 20 June 20th.

The school summer vacation would start in mid-July, so this period was gradually entering exam week. Pei Qian still had to spend some time mastering the coursework.

Although it was easy to pass the exams, he still had to spend a few sleepless nights preparing for certain closed-book courses.

On this point, Pei Qian especially admired Ma Yang.

Ma Yang could juggle the internet cafe, Fish-Catching Takeaway, while still attending classes diligently. It was hard to say if he could get high scores on the exams, but passing was definitely no problem.

Sometimes, slacking off was also a very powerful ability.

So far, Pei Qian's identity had not been exposed. Although he rarely returned to the dormitory and was rarely seen, there were many similar students in the university, so there was nothing to be surprised about.

Ma Yang, the only one in school who knew the truth, kept his mouth shut, and no classmates deliberately asked about it.

Every time Pei Qian went to school, he would return to the rental house to change back into his usual clothes, so he didn't arouse any suspicion.

On the other hand, Ma Yang's clothes became more and more expensive, and the digital products he used became more and more high-end, making his classmates mistakenly believe that his family had recently been compensated for relocation.

With Ma Yang attracting the firepower for him, Pei Qian was happy to be an ordinary student in the school.

Of course, Pei Qian also knew that this matter was like hiding it from his parents, it wouldn't last long, but he didn't need to expose it now. It was good to get along with everyone as an ordinary person.

However, as the final exam week approached, Pei Qian had to review while paying attention to the company's affairs, feeling very miserable.

In the study room.

Pei Qian forcibly memorized the borrowed and copied notes, occasionally picking up his mobile phone to take a look.

Although he couldn't pay attention to the news on the internet all the time, he could let Lu Mingliang sort out some key information and notify him at any time.

"President Pei, Game of Leisure has reported on the DLCs of several of our games, praising us as the conscience of domestic games, and the response is good!"

Pei Qian looked at his mobile phone and put it down.

Game of Leisure was the earliest media outlet to report on Tenda Games. This kind of news release riding on the hype was expected and wouldn't have a big impact.

"President Pei, the news about our DLC update is trending on Weibo! Many players are discussing it intensely!"

This wasn't a big problem either. Trends came and went quickly, and they could be bought with money, so there was nothing to worry about.

"President Pei, it is said that in the black market, an account with Barrett – Doom has been炒 to two thousand yuan..." (speculated to)

What the hell, it's almost the end of the month, and the limited 500 pieces next month are about to go on sale, what are you guys in a hurry for...

Oh, that's right, you probably won't be able to buy them next month either. Buying an account now can still give you ten days of fun.

Then you guys buy it, anyway, the limit is set at 500, and it's impossible to have one more.

"President Pei, Aili Island has created a special zone for our game!"

"President Pei, a game developer scolded us on Weibo for disrupting market order, and was sprayed by the players!"

"President Pei, the ESRO official platform has created a special feature for several of our games and placed it in the recommended spot on the homepage. It is estimated that in the next few days, our game sales and DLC sales will have a significant increase!"

Seeing this, Pei Qian's hand trembled violently.

The official platform was causing trouble again!

The last time they gave *Game Producer* a big recommendation on the homepage, it was already a bit too much for Pei Qian to bear.

As a result, this time, they directly packaged all the games into a special feature and put them all on the homepage?

Calm down, calm down...

Pei Qian took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.

Judging from the last experience, although the homepage recommendation was indeed effective, the increase was still within an acceptable range.

Pei Qian still had the opportunity to spend money in a hurry, and now that it was on the recommendation, the income next week shouldn't have an explosive increase. The settlement would be completed before the income explosion the week after next, so there shouldn't be a big problem.

"President Pei, also, the official platform believes that our company is a benchmark in the game industry and has decided to vigorously help and support us!"

Pei Qian was stunned.

Vigorously help and support?

Giving homepage recommendations from time to time was already generous enough. How many game companies could have this kind of treatment?

How else could they help and support?

"President Pei, the official platform has raised our company's rank. In order to encourage us to have more sufficient funds for game production, they have decided to change our profit sharing with the platform from a 50-50 split to a 70-30 split, with us taking 70%!"

"This is a special treatment that is generally only enjoyed by some very large game companies with high bargaining power, or game companies with very good reputations that are set up as models. This represents the official recognition of our games!"

"I heard that the highest you can strive for is a 90-10 split. President Pei, we will definitely continue to work hard!"

Pei Qian's hand shook, and his phone fell on the table with a "啪" (pa) sound.

It was over!

Changing the 50-50 split to a 70-30 split meant that from now on, without doing anything, all games would inexplicably have 20% more income every month???

For *Fortress at Sea*, which could earn about 3.5 million a month, 20% more would be 1.3 to 1.4 million!

In other words, with one week left before the next settlement, even without considering the income from the DLC, the income of all games would be 20% higher than the usual weekly income, at least 600,000 to 700,000 more!

Plus the income from the DLC...

Pei Qian was dumbfounded.

He had expected that the game would make money, and he had roughly estimated the sales of all the DLCs. Originally, these profits were within his expectations, but this one trick by the official platform directly disrupted his plan!

If other companies knew about this news, they would definitely celebrate it, but Pei Qian was now like an ant on a hot pot.

If he wasn't careful, he might not be able to spend all the money!

After all, he couldn't invest money in developing new things in the week before the settlement. He could only rely on giving out benefits and other means to spend money in a hurry, which wouldn't be very fast.

In case there was a surplus of one or two million at the time of settlement, it would only convert into ten thousand, and losing a little bit could be far greater than this number. Moreover, the system would make up for the lost funds.

This was really too exciting, heaven or hell in one thought...

Pei Qian couldn't sit still anymore, so he packed up his books and left the study room.

At this critical moment, what was the point of reviewing!

The emergency money-spending plan had to start in advance!

...

...

Arriving at the company, Pei Qian hurriedly called Assistant Xin and went straight to his office.

Lu Mingliang and Ma Yiqun couldn't help but sigh when they saw President Pei's solemn expression.

They had just received an official commendation, and the profit-sharing ratio had been changed. This was something that other game companies dreamed of, and it would be enough to make countless people envious if they told others about it.

But President Pei's expression was as usual, as if nothing had happened!

Instead, he was in a hurry and looked serious, still worrying about other company affairs.

This kind of mentality could truly be called the style of a great general!

...

In the office.

Pei Qian opened a form and carefully checked the company's various expenses.

So far, Tenda's various expenses had become very complicated, from the most basic rent and utility bills, to various research and development investments, to employee benefits, etc. The huge form made Pei Qian's head hurt.

He could only take a rough look.

After browsing through it, Pei Qian thought of a good starting point.

"Our company's business is getting better and better recently. It's about time to expand."

"Let each department set a recruitment plan and start recruiting people next month, including your administrative, human resources, and financial departments, and expand them as well."

"There is no limit to the number of positions, let them report as many as possible."
