Chapter 1436 A Powerful New Energy Vehicle Company? (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets!)

Of course, this difficulty wasn't entirely due to Kong Lao's serious scholarly attitude and quality; a large part of it came from the attention of all parties.

President Pei's thesis was a mess? And Kong Lao had to revise it until he went bald?

This would be made into a joke and spread online!

Moreover, Pei Qian felt very guilty. After all, strictly speaking, Lao Ma was accidentally implicated by him and dragged onto this pirate ship.

Pei Qian couldn't help but think that if he hadn't founded Tengda, he wouldn't have created such a large industry; if the scale hadn't reached such a large size, his graduation thesis wouldn't have attracted the school's attention; then, he and Lao Ma naturally wouldn't have been assigned to Kong Lao.

In that case, he and Lao Ma should be happily playing at this time, and the graduation thesis would just barely pass with a score of sixty, like the usual exams.

So, Pei Qian was originally a little embarrassed to tell Ma Yang this bad news.

But now, Pei Qian changed his mind.

Why should he bear the pressure alone?

Lao Ma must also share some of this pressure. Good brothers shouldn't be so distant!

Thinking of this, Pei Qian cleared his throat twice and said, "Lao Ma, do you know why I'm under so much pressure? Because Teacher Zhang Wei said that we've both been assigned to Kong Lao! Letting Kong Lao personally supervise the graduation thesis, how can I not panic?"

"Think about it, with your level, what will happen when Kong Lao sees your thesis?"

A joyful expression appeared on Ma Yang's long face: "Ah? Really? Does that mean my thesis can be affirmed by Kong Lao?"

"That's great, Brother Qian, I knew I didn't follow the wrong person! You can even build a relationship with Kong Lao, that's awesome!"

"With Kong Lao here, I don't think any professor will dare to block my thesis! I'll definitely let him feel what it means to be grateful to his teacher!"

Pei Qian froze, and a question mark slowly floated above his head.

?

Wait, Lao Ma, is there something wrong with your brain circuit?

Is that what I meant?

Why are you so confident that your thesis will definitely be affirmed by Kong Lao! And how did you think about the fact that no one would dare to block your thesis?

That's outrageous!

As expected, no matter what kind of problem he encounters, Lao Ma is always so clueless.

Well, he's used to it, he's used to it.

Pei Qian felt that he had miscalculated. Not only did Lao Ma fail to help him share the pressure, but he also made his pressure even greater.

He had no choice but to change the subject: "So, do you have a general direction for your thesis?"

Lao Ma said confidently: "No!"

Pei Qian was speechless: "Then why are you so calm!"

Ma Yang said: "Because I suddenly figured it out, Brother Qian, I can rely on you! Look, Tengda has already been so successful in the cultural field, what does that mean? It means you are confident!"

"As long as you bring out the energy you have in the cultural industry, writing a graduation thesis will be a piece of cake, right?"

"Then I just have to follow behind you and choose a slightly more subtle angle to study, right?"

"So, in the final analysis, it still depends on Brother Qian's hard work!"

Pei Qian was dumbfounded: "Huh?"

So, you're so calm because of me?

On second thought, what Lao Ma said made a lot of sense.

What is Tengda like in the eyes of outsiders? It has opened up many cultural industries such as novels, film and television, animation, and games. It has both national games with explosive discussion and excellent films that sweep the box office worldwide.

And these successes can be said to be created by President Pei single-handedly!

What Huang Si Bo, Zhu Xiao Ce, Hu Xian Bin, Cui Geng... they are all just tools under President Pei.

Being able to achieve such great success in the world, in the forefront of culture, what is there to worry about for a graduation thesis? Just take a project and write a little about it?

That's too reasonable!

But Pei Qian knew clearly that the success of these projects had nothing to do with him at all!

He even wanted to know how these projects became popular!

Not to mention back then, Pei Qian studied all these projects at home last weekend, but he couldn't find any clues.

It can be said that Ma Yang's confidence comes from his trust in Pei Qian.

And Pei Qian's lack of confidence comes from his distrust of himself…

This formed a magical and confusing closed loop, allowing Pei Qian to deeply realize that he himself was the clown.

Even his good brother Lao Ma couldn't solve his problems this time, and instead created more pressure for him. It can be seen that the challenge of this graduation thesis is far greater than any previous settlement.

It's too difficult!

At a certain moment, Pei Qian even subconsciously had the idea of ​​simply throwing the thesis to Assistant Xin to handle.

But he quickly dismissed this idea.

No, people still have to have a bottom line.

President Pei's graduation thesis was ghostwritten, is that appropriate? It's better to just hand in a blank paper!

At least when others talk about it, they will think that President Pei is too awesome and doesn't bother to write such a thesis at all.

So, this thesis must be completed by himself!

Even if it's a little garbage, it will just make Kong Lao lose a few more hairs. When the time comes, he can visit and send Kong Lao some supplements.

Pei Qian silently sighed and continued to bury himself in a pile of Tengda's successful projects, looking for possible entry points for the thesis.

January 29, Tuesday.

Inside the meeting room of Chili Workshop.

"The development of the VR version of *Safe and Civilized Driving* is progressing steadily, don't worry, it should be online next month."

"As for the relevant information of the Reality Services Department of Chili Workshop, it's all here. You can take it back and study it slowly."

Lin Wan said, handing a document directly to Ye Zhizhou.

Ye Zhizhou reached out and took it, saying, "Thanks."

Lin Wan smiled: "That's too polite. No matter where I am, I'm always a member of Shang Yang Games."

Ye Zhizhou casually flipped through the document and found that it clearly outlined the current work content and status of the Reality Services Department of Chili Workshop.

After *Real Estate Agency Simulator* became popular, it gradually began to lean towards becoming an independent rental platform. The primary task of Chili Workshop's establishment of the Reality Services Department was to promote the game *Real Estate Agency Simulator* to reality.

On the surface, it seems to be doing the same thing as many real estate agencies, but there are obvious differences in many details.

Other real estate agencies are also working hard to develop their own App software and constantly enrich the listings on it, but in terms of technical strength, they are far behind Chili Workshop.

This can't be blamed on them, after all, their development team is just an Internet App development team, while Chili Workshop's development team is a serious VR game development team!

The real estate agency Apps have some functions that *Real Estate Agency Simulator* also has; and the Apps may not necessarily have the functions that *Real Estate Agency Simulator* has!

What's more, the profit models and ultimate goals of the two parties are also completely different.

For real estate agencies, earning platform fees and agency fees is their only way to make a profit, so this App is just a simple tool for making money. Then all the functions of this App will naturally serve to generate profits.

This makes it easy to explain why these real estate agencies turn a blind eye to fake listings on the platform, and it's not difficult to understand why these Apps, no matter how optimized, are ultimately just improvements rather than fundamental changes.

Because real estate agencies rely on it to make money!

Optimizing the App is of course necessary, but these companies will carefully calculate the cost-effectiveness. If the investment is too large, the risk is too high, but the improvement is not significant, then this App revision plan is unlikely to be approved.

But it's not like this for Chili Workshop. As the name "Reality Services Department" suggests, this department is not the main source of profit for Chili Workshop, but just a supplement.

Chili Workshop's main profit comes from the sales of games and Doubt VR glasses, as well as the derivative value that may be generated in the future. The existence of the Reality Services Department is to better serve players.

Therefore, Chili Workshop can crack down on fake listings, and can also continuously iterate and develop the game *Real Estate Agency Simulator*, because there are other charging points that are constantly infusing blood.

This allows the game *Real Estate Agency Simulator* to enter a positive cycle, the snowball is getting bigger and bigger, constantly digging users from other real estate agencies, more and more people buy games and buy VR glasses, and this money supports the Reality Services Department to do better and better...

Now the development speed of the game *Real Estate Agency Simulator* has far exceeded Lin Wan's original expectations, and this development will continue.

Therefore, Lin Wan can be said to fully support Shang Yang Games also opening a Reality Services Department, after all, this is a successful model that has been verified by Chili Workshop.

Maybe in the future, *Real Estate Agency Simulator* and *Safe and Civilized Driving* can further deepen cooperation and linkage?

Of course, that will be a long time in the future. After all, the two games still have many follow-up functions to do. They have to wait until all the extended functions of the two games themselves are fully developed before they can consider deepening cooperation.

Ye Zhizhou briefly scanned the document and prepared to take it back for a detailed study.

But before that, he had other questions.

"By the way, there's another question. *Safe and Civilized Driving* wants to cooperate with a relatively strong domestic new energy vehicle company. I don't know much about these new energy vehicle companies. Do you have any recommendations?"

Lin Wan thought for a while: "New energy vehicle company... how strong does it have to be?"

Ye Zhizhou: "The stronger the better, technical level, market share, brand value, none can be missing."

If they want to introduce a catfish like Hengyuan Driving School to drive other car companies to enter *Safe and Civilized Driving*, the catfish can't be weak, it can't make a splash.

Lin Wan frowned slightly: "Technical level, market share, brand value, none can be missing... does such a new energy vehicle company really exist in China..."

"Hmm? Got it!"

"A single car company may not have it, but if two companies are combined, it can barely be considered to have it!"

Ye Zhizhou was a little dumbfounded: "Huh?"

Lin Wan explained: "Striver Automobile and Shenhua had an autonomous driving cooperation project as early as five years ago, but the autonomous driving technology has not been very mature, so it has been in a closed research and development stage, and few people know about it."

"However, I heard that the autonomous driving technology has recently become relatively mature, and mass-produced models are about to be launched."

"Striver has technology and a certain market share, while Shenhua has brand value. If they are added together, they can meet your requirements."
