Chapter 1532 President Pei Gradually Becomes Wary

Thursday, March 21st.

Pei Qian once again ended his self-imposed "bondage play," removed the wristbands from his hands, and stretched contentedly.

"Excellent, rapid progress."

"Almost halfway done!"

From the current situation, everything was going smoothly, even progressing quite well.

If this speed could be maintained, submitting the paper by the 10th of next month would be no problem at all. He might even have time for a quick edit before submitting it.

But the price was… Pei Qian felt completely isolated from the world.

To increase his efficiency in writing the paper, Pei Qian had to force himself offline and told Assistant Xin not to notify him unless it was absolutely necessary.

And from the looks of it, nothing absolutely necessary had happened.

Pei Qian turned off airplane mode on his phone again, ready to catch up on some external information and see if any major events had occurred during his seclusion that required his attention.

"Oh, Meng Chang's promotional video for GoG and IoI is out."

"But… it seems to be getting a lot of flak."

"Although he’s taking the blame for me, he got his bonus either way. Congratulations!"

"It seems Meng Chang is getting it more and more. I am very pleased!"

The promotional video that Meng Chang made for GoG and IoI was, on the whole, quite steady.

In the video, two players were selected as representatives of GoG and IoI players.

In Touching Fish Internet Cafe, the two were playing their respective games, with close-ups of the GoG and IoI screens.

Then, something magical happened. The two players were surprised to find that their game characters had walked into each other's games and started fighting side by side!

In terms of hero selection, Meng Chang also chose representative heroes from the two games: Modest and Storm Swordsman.

Immediately afterward, the two players were clad in the armor of Modest and Storm Swordsman, and the scene in Touching Fish Internet Cafe turned into a battlefield, with a large number of hostile heroes and minions swarming them.

The two fought side by side, broke through the encirclement, and finally smiled at each other, creating an atmosphere of camaraderie and close comrades-in-arms.

Objectively speaking, the promotional video was pretty good.

Especially the scene where the two players crossed into the game world and fought side by side, the special effects were excellent, obviously a lot of money had been spent.

But the players weren't buying it.

Still for the same reason: they didn't want a merger!

Although the promotional video was well made, it further confirmed the "inevitable merger of the two games," which was tantamount to dragging out those players who strongly protested the merger and flogging them again.

So, no matter how well it was made, those players who were very resistant to the merger still wouldn't buy it.

Moreover, some players twisted the meaning of the promotional video.

Because in the second half of the promotional video, the two GoG and IoI players fought side by side, battling the classic villain heroes from both games.

From the content of the promotional video, this was normal. After all, there had to be enemies, right? It couldn't all be cannon fodder, could it?

It was perfectly normal to pick a few villain heroes from the game to run through the promotional video.

But many people interpreted it as: these villain heroes were implying us, the players who oppose the GoG and IoI merger!

Look, the two players transformed into Modest and Storm Swordsman are fighting side by side, representing the players who support the GoG and IoI merger, right?

Then who is the force besieging them?

The Dake Corporation and Finger Company? Obviously not! The Dake Corporation has already sold IoI, and the Finger Company is now completely under Tengda's control, and has nothing to do with the villains.

The biggest obstacle to the GoG and IoI merger now isn't these old players who are protesting the merger?

Therefore, this promotional video is loaded with hidden agendas! It's scolding one person while pointing at another!

Although most players are still in a wait-and-see state regarding the GoG and IoI merger, and feel that this interpretation of the promotional video is a bit far-fetched and over-interpreted, it has to be said that this voice does exist, and it is not small.

Because the players' resentment has never been relieved.

Many players are protesting the GoG and IoI merger, but Tengda officials have not appeased or said much, just treating the GoG and IoI merger as an inevitable thing to be promoted, so it is normal for players to have resentment.

Pei Qian couldn't help but admire, Meng Chang is a bit clever!

This reverse-promotion is becoming more and more natural and seamless.

Now Meng Chang knows how to adapt to local conditions and the times, and make a promotional plan that seems flawless on the surface but is always criticized in some inexplicable places, targeting the characteristics of the project.

Increasingly reassuring!

Pei Qian nodded slightly and looked at the current situation of Tengda's various departments.

"Huh? The grassroots activity is already underway? The heads of the various departments quickly completed the handover on Monday, quite efficient!"

"The list of acting heads..."

"What's wrong with this?!"

Pei Qian originally wanted to praise the execution of Tengda people, but after taking a closer look at the list of acting heads, he felt a little dizzy.

Li Shi, Qiao Liang, Ruan Guangjian, Yao Bo, Chen Lei... they were all a bunch of old acquaintances!

"What are you doing here as acting heads for no reason! Don't you have your own companies!"

Pei Qian was speechless.

His original idea was to have these heads of departments pull people from the streets at random, or find some relatives and friends to replace them.

Just like Pei Qian pulled Tian Mo from the street and formed a sales department back then.

But he never expected that he would pull all of Pei Qian's enemies outside the company!

Pei Qian didn't think about this possibility, because these people are very busy!

Looking at the people on this list, except for Qiao Liang, the pigeon spirit, who might be a little idle, which of the others doesn't have his own company? Which one isn't usually very busy?

Li Shi has Fuhui Capital, Ruan Guangjian has the Halo Studio, Yao Bo is the young master of the Jinding Group, Xue Zhebin has to inherit his father's mine, and Chen Lei recently released a new album and heard that he will be preparing for a concert in a few months...

As a result, these people forcibly pushed aside their own jobs and came to Tengda to be acting heads?

Madness, this world is mad!

Pei Qian originally thought that by getting rid of this batch of heads and letting them go to the grassroots level to languish for two or three months, it would at least give the Anti-Tengda Alliance some breathing room, allowing them to let go and attack, seizing some market positions.

As a result… this batch of people who have been replaced look equally capable!

Then what is the point of this going to the grassroots level? Simply change President Pei's way of dying?

"Calm down, calm down, always think of the good things."

"Although these acting heads who have been replaced are all capable, they may not be familiar with Tengda's working model, and they have their own companies, so it is difficult to take care of both sides."

"If something really goes wrong with their own company, they will definitely put aside the affairs of Tengda and take care of themselves first."

"In short, although the matter of going to the grassroots level and replacing the acting heads has not achieved the best results in my plan, it cannot be said that it is unacceptable."

"On the whole, it should be more beneficial than harmful."

"At least, we should observe for a while before drawing a conclusion."

"It just so happens that there is an event on the Rabbit Tail Live side, so I will first observe how well Master Qiao, this acting head, is doing."

"If it is very successful, then it means that this idea of going to the grassroots level is a complete mistake, and we have to find a way to remedy it."

"If it is not very successful, then it means that my plan is fine and can continue."

Each acting head has his own work plan, some are more radical and propose new plans, while others are more conservative and just continue the previous work content.

Among them, the situation of Rabbit Tail Live, where Qiao Liang is located, is relatively special, because a live broadcast competition of *Safe and Civilized Driving* planned by Hu Xianbin before is about to be held as scheduled, so Qiao Liang took over halfway, and became the first department to make a big splash after the "going to the grassroots" activity.

Pei Qian felt that he could take this opportunity to observe carefully.

...

At the same time, the guest room of the Wolf Fang Live headquarters in the Magic City.

Zhu Yan, the vice president of Wolf Fang Live, is discussing the plan for the next period of time with Nie Yunsheng of the Shengyun Group.

Tengda suddenly replaced everyone, which did make these big bosses a little confused, and they couldn't figure out what President Pei was thinking.

But if they can't figure it out, they don't dare not pay attention to it.

Nie Yunsheng said with a smile: "President Zhu, Waiwai Live has also reached a preliminary cooperation intention with us. The two largest live broadcast platforms on the market will definitely be invincible when they join forces! You shouldn't have any more concerns about this cooperation, right?"

Zhu Yan took a sip of tea and said, "President Nie has a lot of energy. I didn't expect that we and Waiwai Live have been fighting for so long, but we can still unite because of Rabbit Tail Live."

Nie Yunsheng smiled and said: "This is perfectly normal. Although Rabbit Tail Live's current market share is not very high, it is after all based on Tengda Group, and it will eventually show its true colors! The recent new features of Rabbit Tail Live are all trying to connect with Tengda games, which is enough to show President Pei's ambition in this industry."

"President Zhu, you and Waiwai Live can see through President Pei's plan as soon as possible and react in advance, which definitely shows your visionary vision!"

"Waiwai Live has already said that as long as Wolf Fang Live makes a move, they will immediately follow up!"

"Many people boast that Rabbit Tail Live is the live broadcast platform with the highest stickiness, but in the live broadcast industry, what is the real stickiness? As long as the two live broadcast platforms grab the resources of Rabbit Tail Live together and poach the anchors of Rabbit Tail Live, even if President Pei is a god, he can't maintain it!"

Zhu Yan was silent for a moment, then said: "Waiwai Live is quite smart, but... why should we make the first move?"
