“This website… its Chinese name is Ailidao?” Pei Qian looked at Huang Sibao, trying his best not to look so shocked.

Huang Sibao nodded. “That's right, ilid, a homophone for Ailidao.”

Pei Qian was speechless.

*You’re actually making sense!*

“Alright, President Pei, we'll be going first. We need to seriously consider the studio’s future plans these next few days.”

“Hopefully *Pei Zong's Daily Life* and *Game Producer* will both be huge hits!”

After Huang Sibao and Zhu Xiaoce delivered their venomous curses, they packed up their equipment and left.

The entire office was filled with a joyful and harmonious atmosphere!

Pei Qian mechanically returned to his office and silently typed Ailidao’s website address into his computer.

The webpage loaded.

Seeing the familiar webpage, Pei Qian was certain.

It really was this world’s version of Bilibili!

Pei Qian quickly used Qiandu to search for more information about it. It would have been better if he hadn’t searched, because his heart sank even further after doing so.

Ailidao was one of the earliest danmu (bullet comment) video websites to rise to prominence in the country. Although it hadn't been established for long, it was gaining momentum rapidly and was currently challenging traditional video giants like Sweet Potato Video!

Moreover, Ailidao had one difference from the Bilibili that Pei Qian was familiar with: it was rich!

Although it was still losing money, it was an independent video company jointly invested in by Shenhua Group and Qiandu, which was why it had such strong financial resources to spend so much money acquiring so many exclusive hit dramas!

To make matters worse, because Qiandu had also invested in this website, Ailidao's video website was prioritized in search results, no matter what you searched for on Qiandu.

"An enhanced version of Bilibili?"

"Bilibili plus iQiyi?"

"I'm doomed…"

Pei Qian leaned back in his office chair, feeling completely unwell.

He originally thought that he would be sentenced to death at 8 PM tonight, but he realized that the death warrant had already been written!

He was suffering the consequences of not being familiar with his environment!

Pei Qian was wary enough of the video websites in this world, especially those starting with A and B.

However, Pei Qian never expected that this world's Bilibili would be reversed, from bilibili to ilidilid!

In addition, the inexplicable Chinese name led Pei Qian to mistakenly believe that it was just a small website that would soon die out, and he didn't consider anything else!

Now, the situation was very awkward.

After a long period of inertia, Pei Qian desperately summoned the System Panel.

[Wealth Conversion System]

[Host: Pei Qian]

[Surplus Conversion Ratio: 100:1, Loss Conversion Ratio: 1:1]

[System Funds: 710,000 (↓290,000)]

[Personal Assets: 48223.5]

[Special Mission for this Cycle: The company must own at least one physical store, located in a bustling area or near a university. (Completed)]

[Reward for Completing the Special Mission: An additional 10% increase in the original conversion amount.]

It seemed that the system was still in a state of loss.

But it wouldn't be for long!

From the last settlement until now, Pei Qian's main sources of income were still the two games, *Ghost General* and *Sea Fortress*.

Due to the constant lack of new paid content, *Ghost General*'s revenue was declining rapidly, but its monthly revenue was still over one million, with a net profit of about six to seven hundred thousand.

And *Sea Fortress*, with its steadily increasing active players, had a rising monthly revenue, currently approaching seven million, with a net profit of about 3.5 million.

Although they only sold one Fire Kirin, the domestic market had a large number of FPS game players!

Currently, *Sea Fortress* could be considered one of the leading FPS games in the country. A large number of *Counter-Terrorism Plan* players had converted, and with Tengda constantly purchasing servers and increasing bandwidth, more and more players were joining, so the game's monthly revenue not only didn't decrease, but was actually increasing!

After all, FPS games were very long-lived.

In two and a half months, these two games had brought Pei Qian a net income of about 9 million!

Adding the initial 1 million in System Funds, the total income was just over 10 million.

As for spending:

1 million for Fei Huang Studio;

Over 3 million spent on the development of *Game Producer*;

300,000 spent on game promotions, paying streamers;

About 3.5 million invested in Fish-Touching Internet Cafe, including three months' rent;

The company's rent was less than 400,000 a month, employees' salaries were over 200,000 a month, and miscellaneous expenses were about 800,000 a month, totaling 2 million spent in two and a half months.

The total expenditure was over 9.8 million!

Of course, Pei Qian wouldn't know the specific numbers in such detail; these were naturally calculated by the company's finance department.

Pei Qian only needed to look at the System Funds value every day and figure out how to continue spending money.

Originally, this number was controlled very well, successfully pushing the System Funds below 800,000.

Before this month's settlement, as long as he conducted another large-scale spending spree, lavished benefits on all employees, and then made a public-funded splurge himself, controlling the System Funds to around 100,000, he would definitely get over 800,000 into his own pocket before the next settlement!

But all of this had one premise: that the new game, short videos, and internet cafe had to be unprofitable or not very profitable!

An internet cafe with a net loss of about 300,000 a month was exactly what Pei Qian needed!

But now, the problem had arisen.

Although *Pei Zong's Daily Life* had not yet been broadcast, judging from its current popularity, it should generate at least a million in revenue.

Of course, Pei Qian wouldn't take all of this money, but he had to take some, or it wouldn't make sense to the System.

And the sales of *Game Producer* were also constantly climbing. In the remaining half month, it should sell at least 200,000 copies!

Adding these two together, it would be 3 million in revenue!

The internet cafe could certainly lose a bit more, but facing so much revenue, it was a drop in the bucket, completely inadequate.

If Pei Qian didn't do anything from now on, optimistically, the final surplus should be two to three million.

Pessimistically, a final surplus of four to five million was also possible.

If there was a surplus of 4 million, it could be converted into 40,000 yuan, which would be good for Pei Qian, whose personal assets were currently less than 50,000 yuan. It was better than nothing.

But the key was how to compare it!

Losses could get him seven to eight hundred thousand in personal assets, a difference of dozens of times!

Pei Qian sighed. Now he was powerless and could only resign himself to fate.

If the numbers weren't too far off, like the last settlement, Pei Qian could completely organize another spending spree.

But in the current situation…

He could only take it one step at a time.

Pei Qian felt a faint sense of melancholy.

Wasn't I supposed to have triple insurance…?

How did it become like this…?
