Chapter 1505 The Profound Meaning of the Initial Aid Plan!

Afternoon, No Name Restaurant.

Li Shi, Zhou Muyan, Che Rong of Xingniao Fitness, and several other local Jingzhou investors gathered together, happily drinking in the largest private room.

"After arriving on Friday, has President Zhou already met with President Pei?" Li Shi asked.

Zhou Muyan nodded, "Yes, I had dinner with President Pei at No Name Restaurant over the weekend. I didn't expect to be able to freeload on President Li's meal again. This trip to Jingzhou has been a real treat for me!"

Li Shi smiled and said, "I booked today's meal more than a month in advance, just a routine thing to satisfy my cravings. I didn't expect President Zhou to be in Jingzhou at the same time, so of course, we had to get together!"

"The only regret is that President Pei didn't come today. It's a bit of a pity."

Zhou Muyan nodded, "President Pei must be too busy. Recently, he's been striking hard at Sheng Yun Express and splurging a billion dollars to buy Finger Company. He's doing earth-shattering things, so he really doesn't have time to participate in these dinners."

"But after this time, I'm completely convinced by President Pei!"

"You guys didn't see President Pei at Tianhu Studio back then."

"We initially agreed that three companies would jointly develop a game, but we were all clueless. After President Pei arrived, he quickly cut through the mess and directly finalized several major directions, including the name *Bullet Marks 2*. Then, after Min Jingchao interpreted President Pei's ideas, the hit game *Bullet Marks 2* was created!"

"I've been making games for so many years, and I've never seen such a popular game. I can't even imagine that this kind of design is so easy for President Pei!"

Everyone's eyes showed envy, and they all congratulated Zhou Muyan.

Although everyone was getting a share of the pie with President Pei, Zhou Muyan was getting the best of it!

The return on investment is very different from the return on a hit game.

Unfortunately, most of those present were investors and didn't have Zhou Muyan's advantages. When it came to the game industry, they couldn't get a piece of President Pei's pie.

It's a bit of a shame.

"But President Pei is really fierce. Before, when Tenda was smaller, it wasn't so obvious, and he was a bit more low-key. Now, he's just staring at those big companies with tens of billions of market value and hitting them head-on!" Che Rong said with emotion.

So far, Tenda's conflicts with many large companies have become increasingly intense.

For example, the previous Zhujia Group and the current Sheng Yun Express, aren't they both domestic giants?

Che Rong only felt that these giants were out of reach and had nothing to do with him, but President Pei's attitude seemed to be saying: Giants? Tenda is taking on giants!

This kind of execution and courage is truly amazing.

Of course, it's not that other entrepreneurs completely lack this kind of courage. In fact, even if there is a huge difference in size between two companies, a weaker party may have a strong position in a specific field, and fierce conflicts may break out between the two sides.

But other entrepreneurs, even if they want to fight, often look ahead and behind, and have to think carefully before doing so.

But President Pei... seems too decisive, so decisive that it feels a bit reckless.

Of course, President Pei is also constantly turning hostility into friendship with some large companies, such as Longyu Group. Before, they were in a state of confrontation, but with one game, President Pei directly tied Longyu Group firmly to his chariot.

In addition, Tenda maintains good relations with some large enterprises, such as Shenhua Group and Jindin Group, so it's okay to stir up some hatred.

It's just that everyone can see that Tenda is now holding a knife to the necks of these big companies. Even if they seem indifferent now, they are probably brewing something.

Especially Tenda's targeted poaching, openly poaching talent from Sheng Yun Express, and even dragging all domestic internet platform companies into the debate, it would be unreasonable not to be retaliated against.

I just hope President Pei can withstand it!

At this critical moment, everyone is really too embarrassed to invite President Pei to dinner.

Compared with President Pei, everyone feels that they lack the spirit of struggle and are just muddling along.

And President Pei is clearly more successful than everyone else, but he can still maintain such a strong fighting spirit, which is truly admirable!

Li Shi picked up a piece of food and said, "By the way, has everyone joined Tenda's 'that plan'?"

Zhou Muyan and the other investors looked at each other, a little confused: "Which plan?"

Li Shi coughed lightly twice: "Ahem, that plan... Hey, I signed a confidentiality agreement, so I can't say! How about this, I'll make a call and ask for a few copies of the agreement. You can sign them, and if you're interested, you can join now."

Zhou Muyan instantly became extremely serious.

Good heavens, what kind of secret plan could be making President Li so secretive?

This level of confidentiality is high enough. Could it be some major development strategy plan for Tenda?

Li Shi made a phone call, and after a while, a clerk brought the relevant materials.

Everyone present received two documents: a confidentiality agreement and a detailed plan.

In addition, they thoughtfully provided pens, inkpads, and other items.

Zhou Muyan became even more serious.

This is so formal!

The key is that he hadn't heard any news about this matter before, which shows that the confidentiality is very high and the importance is very high!

Zhou Muyan took the two documents with a solemn mood and read the confidentiality agreement first.

"Initial Aid Plan? Sounds like a very impressive plan."

"But... there's only a name, no detailed plan. It should be in the plan document. To see the plan document, you have to sign the confidentiality agreement first."

"It's quite formal."

Zhou Muyan looked at it, and this confidentiality agreement didn't seem to have anything special, so he quickly signed his name and then looked at the plan document.

The plan document wasn't too long, and he quickly finished reading it.

After reading it, Zhou Muyan looked up at Che Rong and the other investors, then at Li Shi, and then at the plan document in his hand.

The scene fell into a brief silence.

He now had only one feeling: he really wanted to slam the plan document directly on the table and shout, "Are you crazy?!"

They made it so mysterious, but in the end, it's just a charity plan??

If he didn't know better, he would have thought it was a confidential document and a major plan!

Moreover, this charity plan really didn't have anything particularly noteworthy. It was just sending some meat, eggs, and milk to students in poor areas, and helping them subsidize their families.

Compared with Tenda's other grand projects, this was really insignificant.

Of course, doing charity is a good thing, and the scale of this Initial Aid Plan seemed to be not small, but the key is... there was a big gap between it and Zhou Muyan's initial expectations.

The other investors basically had similar expressions.

That's it?

Good heavens, it's just a charity event, is it necessary to sign a confidentiality agreement specifically for it?

Are they afraid that exposing the charity event will cause everyone to rush to participate and rush to donate money?

They were a little dumbfounded.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Li Shi became serious: "Everyone, don't think that this is just an ordinary charity plan!"

"Think carefully, if it was just a simple charity plan, would President Pei bother to go to so much trouble, painstakingly keeping it secret, and making everyone who participates sign a confidentiality agreement?"

"If it was just to donate some living supplies such as meat, eggs, and milk to students in poor areas, how would it matter how it was donated? Is Tenda short of money?"

"From all aspects, President Pei's attention to this project is even higher than some of Tenda's core industries. Have you ever thought about the reason for this?"

Zhou Muyan and others were really stumped by Li Shi's question.

Thinking carefully, it's true!

According to normal people's thinking, why would a charity event need to be kept secret? There's no need for that!

Is it because they think their reputation is too good? Making too much money?

That can't be!

A good reputation is definitely something you can never have too much of. Even if Tenda's reputation is already good, what's wrong with making it even better?

Zhou Muyan asked, "Then... President Li, what do you think is the reason?"

Li Shi said with a serious expression: "There is only one explanation, and that is that this charity plan looks simple, but it is actually intricate and of great importance! It is not only inherently mysterious, but it is also likely to have many subsequent arrangements. It is the cornerstone of an entire system, which is why President Pei attaches so much importance to it!"

The investors looked at each other. Obviously, their first reaction was disbelief.

Just a charity event, how could it be "intricate" and "of great importance"?

And "subsequent arrangements"? Or "the cornerstone of the entire system"?

It's... pretty ridiculous.

President Li, you can praise Tenda all you want, but you have to follow the basic laws of logic, right?

Zhou Muyan said with a complicated expression: "President Li, this is just a charity plan..."

Li Shi asked in return: "Can President Pei's charity plan be an ordinary charity plan? Think carefully, President Pei directly draws his sword against large companies like Zhujia Group and Sheng Yun Express. He never thought about being low-key. Why would he painstakingly keep a harmless charity plan secret?"

Li Shi's words directly stumped everyone.

That's right!

The matter between Tenda and Sheng Yun Express was a big deal. Lu Mingliang was so sharp in the live broadcast, refuting Nie Yunsheng into silence. Everyone saw this.

Moreover, everyone just felt that President Pei was very courageous in this matter, and seemed to be targeting these giant enterprises.

So, does President Pei need to keep a simple charity event secret?

Keep it secret from whom?

Keep it secret from consumers and earn less reputation?

Or keep it secret from partners and receive less charitable funds?

That's impossible. You wouldn't think of such a thing without ten years of brain damage.

Then the only explanation is to keep it secret from competitors!

Li Shi was silent for a moment and said, "Obviously, this is not just a charity plan, but a 'team selection' plan!"

"On the one hand, it is screening companies that are truly standing with Tenda and confirming how close the connection between them is. On the other hand, it is to keep it secret from competitors, prevent them from noticing the formation of this hidden alliance, and let them relax their vigilance!"

"This is a declaration before the war begins!"
