Chapter 1653 This is My Original Intention

Huang Sibo frowned, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Then how should we respond?"

Zhu Xiaoce shook his head slightly: "There's nothing we can do about this."

"Because the other party's attack is very clever. It launched the attack with this special method at a special time when the power contrast between the two sides is unbalanced. It is equivalent to taking advantage of the situation."

"In the face of this general trend, any explanation within the other party's framework is pale and weak."

"Unless we can jump out of the other party's framework, but how easy is that?"

"Another very important point is that the rapid development of Tenda Group has reached a dominant position in many fields. This monopolistic trend will indeed cause concern among many netizens."

"This is an inevitable result of the company's development. Because the larger the company, the more resources it has, and the greater the energy it possesses, it will naturally trigger vigilance."

"This is almost unsolvable. Other big companies can't solve this. As for Tenda... I dare not directly conclude that President Pei cannot solve it, after all, President Pei's thinking is far beyond that of ordinary people. But I can only say that this is the most severe challenge facing Tenda at present."

"The opponent Tenda faces is no longer a specific company, but people's hearts."

Huang Sibo nodded.

In fact, the fact that Tenda Group can still maintain a balance in the public opinion war under such circumstances is already a very remarkable thing. This is the result of Tenda's continuous good deeds and the accumulation of word-of-mouth among netizens.

If such a situation were replaced by any other company, it would have been defeated and devastated long ago.

It is easy for Tenda to defeat a specific company. But to conquer people's hearts, to make everyone believe that even after achieving absolute dominance over the market, Tenda Group can still maintain its original aspiration and maintain the image of a dragon-slaying warrior, rather than transforming into an evil dragon, is too difficult.

However, after considering for a moment, Huang Sibo said again: "I think although the situation is very serious, we can't say that we have absolutely no chance of winning."

"Because President Pei has already made arrangements in advance."

"President Pei spent so much effort to produce the movie and game *You Choose the Future*, and arranged for Tenda Group to be the villain. He should be preparing for today's situation."

"However, so far, we still cannot be sure whether President Pei has any backup plans."

"In this case, we can only trust President Pei."

At this stage of the public opinion war, specific tactics are no longer important. What plays a decisive role is strategic planning.

Whoever can stand higher and see farther in strategy will be able to achieve the final victory.

So far, although Tenda Group is at a disadvantage, as long as President Pei's plan is in place, no one dares to say that there is no possibility of a comeback.

...

At the same time, a small coffee shop near Tenda Group headquarters.

Qiao Liang was anxiously waiting for President Pei's arrival.

After the movie was released, Qiao Liang had been staying at home, pulling his hair for two whole days.

But he didn't get any results!

After the game *You Choose the Future* was released, Qiao Liang had actually released a video to interpret the game content.

Qiao Liang was very satisfied with that video, and the response was very good.

Moreover, at the end of the video, Qiao Liang also boldly predicted that after the movie was released, his video would play a role of prophecy, and the theme of the movie should not be far from the content he analyzed.

But after the movie was released, Qiao Liang realized that he seemed to have said this too early.

The themes of the game and the movie seem to be a bit misaligned.

Although the names are the same, and the themes expressed are the monopoly of large enterprises and the polarization between the rich and the poor, the forms of expression and entry points of the two can be said to be worlds apart. In other words, except for the similar themes, the others cannot be forced together.

With this degree of association, there is no way to make a video, let alone let Qiao Liang round up the bragging he had done before.

Seeing that many people are still urging him to update, waiting for him to release a video to combine the game and the movie for interpretation, Qiao Liang felt helpless.

So he made up his mind to ask President Pei for some advice.

As the source of inspiration for the game and the movie, and the person who understands the Tenda spirit best, no one in this world should understand the connotation of the game and the movie better than President Pei.

Of course, Qiao Liang didn't expect President Pei to reveal all these connotations to him. He just wanted to get some inspiration through a simple exchange with President Pei, so as to better complete this video and refute some of the online comments.

So far, the online trend has been distorted a bit by Fan Qi Media, and the objects of the two movies' shadow are becoming more and more like Tenda Group, which is a very dangerous phenomenon.

For Qiao Liang, he is definitely completely on the side of Tenda Group. Because he is deeply infected by President Pei's personality charm, and believes that President Pei is the one who can keep capital in a cage.

As long as President Pei is in Tenda Group, it will not deteriorate.

But ordinary people outside do not know this. Although they can feel this temperament from Tenda Group's style, they have never met President Pei himself, nor have they worked together. Under such circumstances, it is normal to question Tenda Group.

Qiao Liang didn't have much hope for this meeting. He just sent President Pei a message, briefly explaining his thoughts. He didn't expect President Pei to agree happily and arrange to meet at this small coffee shop.

Qiao Liang was already prepared. At this time, he felt like a reporter specializing in interviews, trying to restore the truth as much as possible through his conversation with President Pei.

...

Pei Qian hummed a little tune as he strolled to this coffee shop.

For him, the current situation is developing well.

Fan Qi Media's goal has been achieved. The objects of the two movies are all tending to lean towards Tenda Group, which is great news for Pei Qian.

But the threat of Qiao Laoshi has not been completely eliminated.

The videos released by the game before almost ruined things. Fortunately, Fan Qi Media was clear-headed and focused the public opinion war on the movie, so the game's attention was relatively low.

But Qiao Laoshi may release another video at any time, combining the content of the game and the movie, which must be prevented.

Originally, Pei Qian didn't want to meet him, but then he thought that if he let Qiao Laoshi stay in the room and think hard, he might come up with something outrageous again.

In this case, it's better to take the initiative to meet Qiao Laoshi and reveal his true thoughts to him.

Although the truth may be hurtful, Pei Qian felt that he had to slowly let Qiao Liang accept this painful fact.

If he could use Qiao Laoshi's mouth to convey his true meaning to all the netizens, that would be even better.

After arriving at the coffee shop, Pei Qian sat down opposite Qiao Liang. They were already very familiar with each other, so there wasn't much small talk and they quickly got to the point.

Qiao Liang was prepared and said, "President Pei, thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to answer my questions. Don't worry, I will only ask a few simple questions this time. I won't ask too much detail, and I won't touch the inner meaning of the design."

"After all, for creators, some questions need to be left blank, I understand this."

Generally speaking, creators are unwilling to interpret their works in too much detail.

The reason is very simple. Literary works are a carrier, a channel for conveying thoughts. Sometimes it is precisely because of the blank space and multiple interpretations that there is beauty. Once the creator comes out to interpret it himself, it will destroy the beauty of this blank space.

Obviously, this is also President Pei's consistent style. He never interprets his games or movies himself, but entrusts this important task to all the netizens to complete together.

So this time, Qiao Liang didn't plan to ask too much detail, just wanted to ask a few key questions to answer his doubts.

Pei Qian felt a little regretful.

In fact, Qiao Laoshi could ask in more detail, and he would give more detailed answers, but for Qiao Laoshi, this answer might make his worldview collapse even more.

Pei Qian thought to himself: This is also good, leave a little room for each other.

Although his answer was very direct and could allow Qiao Laoshi to accept the cruel reality, it was not too direct, and the blow to Qiao Laoshi was not too heavy.

So he nodded: "Okay, ask away."

Qiao Liang thought for a moment and first asked the first question: "At the beginning of the creation of the game and the movie *You Choose the Future*, was there any deep connection between the two?"

Pei Qian shook his head: "No, the only connection between the two is that the background of the entire world is roughly similar, and Tenda Group plays the role of the villain in both of them. Other than that, there is no deliberate connection."

Qiao Liang was stunned. He was confused by the first question.

Because he preconceived that there must be a deeper connection between the game and the movie, and there are many deeply buried Easter eggs that can affect each other in the plot.

But he didn't expect President Pei to deny him as soon as he came up.

Qiao Liang frowned slightly and asked again: "Then, the object of the game and the movie's criticism should not be Tenda Group itself, but some invisible existence, right?"

Pei Qian was silent for a moment and said, "In fact, relatively speaking, I still hope that everyone thinks that the object of the criticism is Tenda Group itself."

Qiao Liang was stunned again, because President Pei's answer was beyond his expectation again.

Moreover, this question blocked many of Qiao Liang's subsequent questions.

Qiao Liang originally thought that in the game and the movie, Tenda Group was just a representative image, not a concrete image. Many of his judgments were based on this point, but he didn't expect President Pei to directly deny this point.

Qiao Liang frowned slightly and asked: "But now many people have a negative impression of Tenda Group because of these two movies, and even regard Tenda Group as an imaginary enemy, and foresee the evil consequences of Tenda Group monopolizing multiple industries in the future. Is this also within your expectations, President Pei?"

Pei Qian smiled slightly: "This is the original intention of my making this movie and game."
