Chapter 141 The Perfect Plan

Pei Qian hoped that all players would be so short-sighted, frantically removing all games from the platform just to buy games at half price. If that happened, this game platform would probably crash and burn at the speed of light, truly becoming a "morning dew".

But alas, such a good thing was unlikely to happen. Unless the players on this platform were all paramecia, only able to see the immediate petty gains and unable to foresee future DLC updates, version adjustments, and discounted sales, and completely disregarding other players.

It was foreseeable that this system would not have much impact on truly excellent games.

There was no helping it. Excellent games were popular everywhere, and Pei Qian couldn't find a suitable reason to get rid of them.

This mechanism mainly served to eliminate games of lower quality, while accidentally harming some mediocre ones.

No matter how trashy a game was, there would always be some players who would buy it, which would generate revenue. The more games that were removed from the platform, the less money it would make.

Considering that this was a small, trashy platform with no reputation at the beginning, and a black-hearted fifty-fifty split, it would probably only attract garbage games.

As a result, most games would be frantically removed by players. After going back and forth, the platform wouldn't earn a single cent. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

If the players were really like paramecia, recklessly removing games in pursuit of a 50% discount, making the platform crash and burn even faster, that would be even more perfect!

Tang Yishu closed her notebook: "Senior, I've written everything down."

Pei Qian nodded. He was very confident in Tang Yishu.

Whether it was in terms of obedience or collapsing the game platform, he was very confident.

"Have you decided who you want to go with you to be in charge of the game platform?" Pei Qian asked.

Tang Yishu had obviously already thought about it: "I want Sister Ya Da to go with me!"

Pei Qian: "?"

So that's what you were waiting for?

Li Ya Da was also one of Tenda Games' main designers. After handing over to Hu Xianbin, she had been retired from the martial world for a long time.

Taking Li Ya Da to be the person in charge of the game platform?

No wonder Tang Yishu said, "If I can't do it, I can find someone to take over." It turned out it was all planned!

This put Pei Qian in a bit of a dilemma.

But then he thought about it, he had already promised before. If he disagreed now, Tang Yishu might not go.

Moreover, while Li Ya Da appeared to have retired bravely and started slacking off, who knew if she wasn't lurking in the Tenda Games department, secretly sabotaging things?

Transferring her away from the game department to the game platform to assist Tang Yishu, while detrimental to the game platform, would be good news for the Tenda Games department.

Li Ya Da was the least noticeable of all the chief planners at Tenda. Few people outside the company knew her, and even few people within the company's other departments knew her.

After all, Tenda had developed too quickly. After Li Ya Da "stepped down to make way for someone more capable," the Tenda Group expanded rapidly, hiring a large number of new people.

There was no need to worry about revealing the relationship between Morning Dew Game Platform and Tenda.

Thinking it over, it didn't seem unacceptable.

Of course, everything had to be premised on Tang Yishu making the decisions about the game platform.

Pei Qian finally nodded: "Alright, but there's one condition: you can't ask Li Ya Da about everything. She's just there to help you. After a month or two, when the game platform is on the right track and you can officially take over, she has to come back."

Tang Yishu nodded gently: "Okay, Senior."

She was thinking, she would go for a month or two to see how it went. If she really couldn't handle the job, then she would talk about it later.

...

Ten minutes later, Tang Yishu went upstairs and called Li Ya Da to the conference room.

Then, she told her about the establishment of a new company and the creation of the Morning Dew Game Platform.

Li Ya Da pushed up her thick glasses, her face full of shock.

"You want to create a game platform, but completely cut off ties with Tenda?"

Leaving aside Tang Yishu being in charge and specifically asking her to help, the game platform itself made Li Ya Da feel very absurd.

In her opinion, it was only natural for Tenda to create a game platform.

With so many popular games and a large number of extremely loyal players, making a game platform would be an easy way to make money. They should have done it a long time ago!

But the problem was, since they wanted to create a game platform, what was the point of cutting off ties with Tenda?

In this way, Tenda's reputation, player resources, and games couldn't be used. This game platform was basically starting from scratch, with nothing but money.

Of course, making a game platform required money, but money alone was far from enough.

It was like they could play on easy mode, but they had to make it hell difficulty. What was the point?

There was also something very suspicious.

Creating a game platform required the establishment of a new company, funded by Dream Chasing Venture Capital, but it wasn't a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tenda. Instead, it only owned 70% of the shares. The other 30% of the shares would be distributed to all the core and veteran employees.

Of course, Li Ya Da also had a share.

Although the shares were basically useless before the company developed and couldn't be cashed out, they were still shares after all.

In short, Li Ya Da felt that this matter was a bit strange, not like CEO Pei's previous style of opening up new industries.

But if you thought about it carefully, it felt like something CEO Pei would do. After all, CEO Pei had always been unconventional. If people could easily guess what he was thinking, he wouldn't be CEO Pei.

Li Ya Da tried hard to think, but still had no clue.

"Did CEO Pei say why he wanted to do this?" Li Ya Da asked.

Tang Yishu shook her head: "No, Senior just said that I would understand later."

Sure enough, it was CEO Pei's usual style.

Li Ya Da considered for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you."

"The main reason why I stepped down as the person in charge before was because I felt that the game department was full of talent and didn't need me anymore."

"But now, since there's a place where I can be useful, then of course I'm duty-bound!"

Tang Yishu was very happy: "That's great, Sister Ya Da. I feel relieved with you here!"

Li Ya Da smiled: "Don't be too happy. I will strictly follow CEO Pei's requirements and only assist you. I won't give you any extra ideas."

"Since CEO Pei chose you to be the person in charge, there must be a reason. It must be because you have some shining qualities that we don't have."

"So, when you encounter problems, you have to think independently. Don't rely on the inherent experience of us old employees, otherwise, it may go against CEO Pei's expectations."

"Ah..." Tang Yishu was a little disappointed, "But I don't understand anything."

Li Ya Da said: "When I first became the person in charge of the game department, I didn't understand anything either. That's normal."

"Looking back now, it may be precisely because I didn't understand anything that I was able to do well. Now, if I were to be the person in charge, I would be worried about gains and losses and wouldn't have that kind of drive."

"Believe me, since CEO Pei said you can do it, then you definitely can."

Tang Yishu reluctantly nodded: "...Okay."

She originally thought that with Li Ya Da here, she could be a hands-off shopkeeper and not care about anything.

Now it seemed that things weren't so simple.

However, Li Ya Da's words gave her some confidence.

In the year or so that Tang Yishu had been at Tenda, she had participated in a lot of work. The colleagues at Tenda were all very nice, and she was no longer as closed off and introverted as she was at the beginning.

Since joining Tenda, Tang Yishu felt that she had been well taken care of, but all she had done was shovel shit, take meeting minutes, and the contributions she had made really didn't match the salary she received as an intern.

If she could really do a good job with this game platform and share the burden for Tenda, that wouldn't be bad either.

"Okay, in short, you don't have to worry about the game platform. I'll help you with the preliminary preparations."

"As the person in charge, you don't have to intervene in these things. Your main job is to figure out CEO Pei's intentions."

"Once you figure it out, you'll be close to success."

Tang Yishu nodded: "Okay, okay."

"You go back and wait for my news. I'll hand over my work here and we'll contact each other by phone later."

After Tang Yishu left, Li Ya Da returned to her workstation and fell into deep thought.

Then, she called Hu Xianbin, who had already gone on vacation, chatted with him briefly, and then called the author of *Eternal Reincarnation*, asking him to come to Tenda Games.

Yu Fei had been in Jingzhou, buried in the Inspiration Class, modifying the content of *Eternal Reincarnation*. He had come to Tenda Games several times, communicated with the people in charge of Tenda Games about some details of the game, and was quite familiar with them.

Half an hour later, Yu Fei arrived.

Li Ya Da took him to the conference room.

"What's wrong, Sister Li? Is there a problem with the game's plot that needs to be changed?" Yu Fei asked.

Li Ya Da shook her head: "It's not about the plot."

"I called you here this time mainly to ask you for a favor. Of course, I'll talk to the finance department about the salary, which will be paid daily."

Yu Fei smiled: "Sister Li, what are you talking about? If you need my help, I'm duty-bound. Why are you talking about money?"

"Just tell me, what do you need my help with?"

Li Ya Da paused: "Be the chief planner for two months."

Yu Fei almost thought he had misheard: "Huh?"

"Chief planner? Chief planner of what?"

Li Ya Da said: "Of course it's the chief planner of Tenda Games. Is there any other chief planner?"

Yu Fei pointed at himself: "Me?"

"I'll be the chief planner?"

"I don't know anything about game design! How can I be a chief planner!"

Yu Fei was simply stunned. If he hadn't known Li Ya Da for a long time, he would have thought she was joking with him.

Game design was a very professional job!

Yu Fei felt that he was just an ordinary author, and that he was already extremely lucky to have his book be favored by CEO Pei. How could he do something like being a chief planner?

Li Ya Da explained: "It's just a temporary substitute."

Yu Fei shook his head like a rattle: "Even a substitute is no good!"

"Sister Li, this is not something to joke about! It's very serious!"

Li Ya Da nodded: "I'm very serious!"

"Look, here's the situation."

"*Eternal Reincarnation* was originally Hu Xianbin's responsibility, but he won second place for outstanding employees and went on vacation. He left in a hurry, so he entrusted this matter to me."

Yu Fei nodded, this was reasonable.

After all, Li Ya Da was the original main designer of *Turn Back to the Shore*. It was natural for Hu Xianbin to hand over the work to her.

Li Ya Da continued: "But I just received an appointment to be transferred to another department, and the work here is also very important."

"So, I communicated with Hu Xianbin and decided that you should keep an eye on the *Eternal Reincarnation* project until Hu Xianbin comes back, is that okay?"

"Actually, it's not difficult. The design plan has already been made, and everyone knows what they should do. You don't need to urge them, just make a decision when you encounter problems."

"If you're really not sure, you can call me or Hu Xianbin."

Yu Fei was speechless.

Although it sounded reasonable at every step, what kind of operation was it to have a web novelist be the chief planner?

What's more, it was the chief planner of the most awesome Tenda Games department in the industry. It was outrageous!

"Then... will CEO Pei agree to this?" Yu Fei asked.

Li Ya Da thought for a moment: "It shouldn't be a problem, right? CEO Pei has always been unconventional in his use of people, maybe he'll be quite happy about it."

"How about this, I'll call CEO Pei."

Li Ya Da took out her phone and reported to CEO Pei.

Soon, she hung up the phone: "See, I told you CEO Pei would definitely agree, and he's especially supportive!"

Yu Fei: "..."

Was this the magical Tenda?

The project was still in development, the chief planner ran off on vacation, and they casually found a web novelist to fill in. It was outrageous!

But since CEO Pei had nodded, what else was there to say?

Yu Fei was also eager to experience being a chief planner.

"Okay then, I'll fill in for a month and do my best."
