Chapter 1663 Regret Creating Tengda

The heads of departments all thought that President Pei was just being modest and comforting them, but Pei Qian knew in his heart that he was being sincere.

And it was a rather helpless sincerity.

Was Tengda Group able to develop to its current scale due to the joint efforts of all the employees, or was it because President Pei was destined for greatness, succeeding every time he gave reverse guidance?

It was a muddled account, impossible to calculate!

However, Pei Qian felt that from his perspective, he clearly believed that the company could continue to operate smoothly without him.

After all, no one knew better than him that he, the president, didn't actually do much work. Besides being a hindrance, he was just a mascot.

If he had to say, he felt that his existence was probably similar in significance to Xiao Tang's.

Seeing that the heads of departments still looked doubtful and were about to raise their hands to ask questions, Pei Qian quickly said, "Alright, that's settled. Everyone should focus their main energy on the negative profit activities for the next two months."

"I won't be coming to the company during these two months, but I will continue to think about how the company will develop in the future. I'll hold another meeting in two months to rearrange and redeploy."

"Maybe I'll change my mind by then."

The heads of departments looked at each other and remained silent.

They clearly saw that President Pei had made up his mind, and no one could dissuade him in this situation.

Moreover, President Pei didn't make his words absolute. Since President Pei would be seriously considering the future development direction of Tengda Group in these two months, perhaps he would have some new discoveries and change his mind during the process.

They would wait and see in two months.

If, by then, President Pei still insisted on his decision, it might mean that this decision was indeed a better choice for Tengda Group!

At that time, all the heads of departments could only obey and carefully analyze the profound meaning behind President Pei's actions.

Pei Qian raised his glass. "Everyone has worked hard during this period, but I still hope that everyone can continue to work hard and achieve even better results in the upcoming negative profit activities!"

...

After the dinner, Pei Qian, accompanied by Zhang Yuan, strolled to the nearby "Esports Holy Land Ruins."

The reason why it was called the "Esports Holy Land Ruins" was because this area once gathered the vast majority of teams in the entire GPL League, and many domestic esports clubs developed from here.

However, with the rapid development of the domestic esports industry, mobile villas alone were not enough to support the daily training of these large teams. Therefore, major teams gradually began to move their bases to other areas in Jingzhou, and the esports base buildings became taller and taller.

As for the old bases here, they were preserved as a tourist area for esports enthusiasts from all over the country to come and worship regularly.

Visiting Jingzhou to watch a game at the stadium and then visiting the old site of this large base was an attractive route for many esports viewers.

Pei Qian came to the old site of the DGE Esports Club, sat on the sofa, and recalled the past when he founded this esports club, feeling a little emotional.

"How is the preparation for the new league going?" Pei Qian asked.

Zhang Yuan replied, "From the current situation, everything is going smoothly. For esports players on both sides, although there are different advantages and disadvantages, overall, everyone is still on the same starting line. This merger will inevitably lead to the emergence of a batch of newcomers and the retirement of a batch of veterans, which is inevitable."

"We have been expanding the esports industry as much as possible to find the most suitable jobs for these eliminated athletes."

"I think this is a difficult but ultimately necessary thing to do. It can't be rushed. It may take two to three years, or even longer, to completely integrate the players and spectators of the two games."

Pei Qian nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and then urged, "The popularity of esports is getting higher and higher, which is certainly a good thing, but we must also pay attention to guiding the hype at all times."

"Although it is common for fans of both sides to become too invested in similar intense competitions, leading to mutual attacks and abuse, we must still try to avoid it and maintain a relatively healthy environment."

"Many things are worth doing precisely because they are difficult."

Zhang Yuan quickly nodded. "Okay, President Pei, I understand."

Pei Qian stood up to leave, and Zhang Yuan quickly asked, "President Pei, are you really leaving Tengda Group? I'm not sure why this is necessary."

Pei Qian was silent for a moment and said, "I can't give you a very strong explanation right now, but I believe this choice is the right one."

...

Back home, Pei Qian leaned on the sofa, and suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Since the success of the *You Choose the Future* game and movie, Pei Qian hadn't been to the company much for more than half a month, and had been staying at home.

At first, he was a little desperate and doubted his life.

Because he couldn't figure out how such a situation that was bound to lose could be turned around.

The Anti-Tengda Alliance had clearly delivered a fatal blow, but Tengda Group had inexplicably survived!

From then on, the development of Tengda Group would be smooth sailing, and no other company would be able to pose a real obstacle to Tengda.

Of course, Tengda Group, as a giant, only exists in China at present. Its influence is not very strong worldwide.

But the problem is that how far a company's international business can go does not actually depend on the company's true strength.

It depends more on some other factors.

Objectively speaking, Tengda Group's development to its current level and scale has actually briefly reached its peak.

This peak does not mean how much market share it has globally, nor does it mean how large its size is, but that it is on the most correct path. Its booming trend and the appeal and brand image it has established in the minds of domestic consumers have formed a cross-dimensional blow to other companies.

It's like a large-scale battle.

The real moment of victory may be when the enemy's headquarters are captured and the culprits of the entire war are brought to justice. But in fact, the result was already determined at the turning point of the key battle.

Pei Qian was standing at this turning point. He looked back at the past development of Tengda Group and looked forward to the future of Tengda Group, seeing a soaring curve.

And at this moment, he felt confused and bewildered.

This confusion and bewilderment was not only about his worries about losing money during this cycle settlement, but more about the unbridgeable gap between Tengda Group and President Pei himself in the eyes of the outside world, and the real Tengda Group and Pei Qian himself.

There was no one else in the world who could empathize with this gap.

Pei Qian had never agreed with any of the praises from the outside world. He had always felt that he was just an ordinary person with a little determination, able to stick to the bottom line of being a human being.

But now, the praise and admiration from the outside world had reached an increasingly outrageous level!

There is a saying: "If virtue does not match position, there will be misfortune."

Pei Qian felt that this sentence was very appropriate to describe himself.

So, Pei Qian became more confused than ever about his future and the future of Tengda Group as the final commercial war came to an end.

On the one hand, Pei Qian was worried that he would be praised so highly that he would fall and be shattered one day. On the other hand, he was worried that Tengda Group had developed into such a behemoth, mastering such vast resources, and whether something unexpected would really happen one day.

Sometimes, mastering resources is a danger in itself.

The scenario depicted in *You Choose the Future* was not just Pei Qian wanting to make fun of himself, but he also had this potential concern in his heart.

Tengda Group was too powerful, so powerful that even he, the president, did not fully control it.

Perhaps others believed that once Tengda Group went astray, President Pei would immediately take action and bring Tengda Group back on track with an iron fist.

But Pei Qian might have to ask, am I worthy?

Including Qiao Liang, netizens conducted in-depth analyses of the *You Choose the Future* game and movie. And Pei Qian naturally read many similar analyses. Although these people were completely wrong in their analysis of President Pei's initial intentions and motives, the content of these analyses was very meaningful.

Therefore, what Pei Qian was worried about now was not only how to complete the cycle settlement, how to finally get a big profit from the system. He was even more worried about where Tengda Group should go in the future?

He had been thinking about it for more than half a month, but he had only come up with a little clue. Next, he would spend two months, a year, or even longer to think about this issue more deeply.

Pei Qian really regretted creating Tengda a little.

His initial goal was just to get a villa from the system, but now he had inexplicably gained a lot of praise that didn't belong to him, and naturally put on shackles.

If something really went wrong with Tengda Group in the future, then he, the president, would be primarily responsible.

Thinking of this, Pei Qian sighed softly, feeling a little melancholy.

"In short, things have developed to this point. Don't think about anything for these two months. Leave the loss-making matter to the heads of departments. Whether it can be lost in the end depends on fate. I am powerless anyway."

Pei Qian found that the system's restrictions on him seemed to be getting less and less.

If Pei Qian had directly issued an order for negative profit activities to the heads of various departments a year or two ago, this order would have been warned by the system.

But now he could say it directly.

If you really want to delve into the reasons, it is likely because the original heads of departments would consider the negative profit activity to be deliberately losing money, but now they would not. Even if Pei Qian said the negative profit activity, these heads of departments would only think that President Pei had some special requirements for the company's development.

It was hard to say whether the system's removal of restrictions was a good thing or a bad thing?

From a positive point of view, this removal meant that Pei Qian could issue increasingly clear instructions to complete his goal of losing money; but from a pessimistic point of view, perhaps it meant that everyone had misunderstood Pei Qian, and even if he told the truth, everyone would always think in other directions.

It had to be said that this scene seemed to be full of black humor and irony.

Pei Qian leaned on the sofa and looked up at the sky, his whole person full of melancholy.
