Losing Money to Be a Tycoon
chapter-1611-30041322

July 17th, Wednesday.

Pei Qian looked at Tengda Games’ related industries seriously in his office and helplessly reached a tragic conclusion.

Tengda’s games industry seemed to be… hopeless.

In fact, Pei Qian had roughly realized a few cruel reality when the game router was selling hot. However, he was not willing to accept it at that time.

However, after two days of calm, combined with the current situation of Tengda Games and the other related industries, Pei Qian finally recognized this reality from the bottom of his heart.

At the moment, Tengda Corporation had already established a perfect and huge gaming empire in the country. Not only were there outstanding strengths, but there were no obvious shortcomings in various fields.

In terms of research and development, there were three main development departments: Tengda Games, Shang Yang Games, and Slow Movement Studio. They were responsible for the development of 3a Games and VR games respectively.

In terms of independent games, there was a Destitution Plan and independent game incubation base all over the country. All sorts of outstanding domestically-produced independent game designers had been taken into account.

Dawn Games platform had already achieved huge success in the game channel. After the official platform was named Tengda, a large number of players had flooded in.

On top of that, Tengda’s cooperation department had also brought a few domestic games companies along. It had also subtly influenced them. Under the influence of Sun Strike Studios, Long Yu Corporation, and other game developers and game channels, the entire domestic game environment would gradually lean towards Tengda Corporation’s model.

Now, the game router had already solved the most difficult and most important problem of hardware. From then on, Tengda had established an ultimate closed loop from content to hardware and channels. As long as Tengda could continue to continuously release good games in the future, the game empire would continue forever.

Even if Tengda’s games wilted in the future, the independent game incubation base and channels would be enough to ensure that Tengda’s game business would maintain high income in the future.

What a sad story!

Pei Qian recalled that he had been expanding his territory in the game industry. His root cause was to venture into unfamiliar and difficult fields. That would create losses and spend all the profits earned from developing games.

Now, he had nowhere to go!

Pei Qian’s last hope was on the game ‘The Future You Choose’. That was his last struggle.

However, Pei Qian had to be prepared for the worst. This game might also make a huge profit.

All in all, Pei Qian was basically playing dead in the game industry. He would let nature take its course.

Pei Qian turned his attention to other fields.

“The new project for the zoo and haunted house should be officially opened in the second half of the month.”

“Comparatively, the probability of failure of Thriller Hostel is lower. The zoo is a new field. It is worth investing more.”

“How can we increase the probability of the zoo not making money?”

“Hmm… since the gaming platform has given up on treatment, can Little Tang change to another place?”

The new projects in the zoo and Thriller Hostel were physical projects. They cost a lot of money and recovered their costs slowly. That was why they were deeply loved by Pei Qian.

However, considering that Thriller Hostel already had a few successful projects and a lot of human traffic, the chances of the zoo losing money were higher.

The location of the zoo might also be in the old industrial zone in Jingzhou, but it was a distance away from Thriller Hostel. Generally speaking, tourists would not walk so far and deliberately shop in the zoo if they were not particularly attracted.

After all, apart from the haunted house, Thriller Hostel also had its own roller coasters, various shops, and experience shops. There were many things to play in Thriller Hostel. It did not matter if they went to the zoo or not.

Therefore, the success or failure of the zoo was the most important!

Pei Qian suddenly thought of Tang Yishu.

Pei Qian had specially arranged for Tang Yishu to go over previously in order to ensure that the gaming platform would lose money. She had indeed created many difficulties for small companies that wanted to go to the gaming platform in the early stages. However, at this point, one or two bugs could no longer stop these companies.

Of course, Tang Yishu’s presence on the gaming platform could also delay the development of the game editor.

However, considering that so much time had passed, Tengda Games’ game editor should be on the right track. He just had to throw Little Tang over when the editor was about to be developed and let the bugs explode.

This free period would transfer Little Tang to the zoo and stabilize the situation.

At that thought, Pei Qian called Little Tang and sent the driver to fetch her. They went straight to the zoo.

…

Jingzhou City’s old industrial zone, a cold and warm zoo.

Pei Qian and Little Tang alighted from the car. The zoo director, Pan Xinzhang, was already waiting at the door.

He was a little nervous when he heard that Boss Pei was coming.

After all, Boss Pei had not visited the zoo even once after so long. He had also managed all sorts of funds, supported and guaranteed. It was enough to show that Boss Pei attached great importance to the zoo’s work.

Now that the zoo was finally about to open for business, Boss Pei’s arrival should be to check the results.

If Boss Pei was not satisfied with the state of the zoo, wouldn’t he be letting Boss Pei down?

After working for this period of time, he had already fallen in love with this zoo.

In terms of environment and conditions, it was obviously much better than the zoo that he and his father were in charge of previously.

Thus, money was not omnipotent in many cases. However, one could not do without money.

Without money, even though he could also make the animals live very well through careful care, there were still huge flaws in the overall experience in all aspects.

With Boss Pei’s help, Tang Xinzhang could finally display his talents on a larger stage.

“Boss Pei, I have a question to report to you first.”

“Previously, you suggested that we can arrange for some interactive animals for tourists to touch. For example, we can borrow the experience of some owls and coffee shops overseas.”

“However, I looked through the information carefully and consulted the opinions of relevant professionals. I realized that touching owls randomly might cause its stress reaction. It would not be friendly to the physical and mental health of animals, so I banned similar animals.”

“For animals who are closer to people by nature, close contact would not cause serious stress. It can be arranged.”

Pei Qian nodded. “Yes, that should be the case!”

“My previous suggestion was actually thought of on the spot. I don’t know much about the professionalism behind this. Since we’re called a zoo, we definitely cannot hurt animals.”

“As the zoo director, you have to strictly supervise this. You have to do what you have to do. You cannot cause damage to the physical and mental health of animals for profits and income.”

“The name of this zoo is to constantly remind all staff to abide by this principle!”

He nodded, thinking that Boss Pei was indeed a rare good boss.

Many times, it was very rare for the boss to be able to do something with clear logic! Foreigners commanding insiders would often only lead to tragedy, but many laymen did not have such awareness.

The name ‘Cold and Warm Zoo’ was actually telling all the staff in the zoo that whether the animals were doing well or not was up to them. They knew very well whether they did their best to take care of these animals!

Most of the time, he had to have a clear conscience.

He led Pei Qian and Tang Yishu in.

Pei Qian’s first thought was that the greenery had turned for the better.

The entire zoo took up a lot of space. Even though the main zoo interactive museum was still modified from the large factory buildings in the old industrial zone, the empty spaces outside the factory buildings had basically been modified. There was a resting area, a fountain, a grass field, and flowing water.

The animals lived in the air-conditioned room of the stadium and were adjusted to the most appropriate temperature. However, the environment outside had to be worked.

Otherwise, if the environment was too different, tourists would easily be dissuaded.

Comparatively, the greenery around the zoo was the best in the entire old industrial zone. It could make a clear distinction with Thriller Hostel.

Pei Qian was happy to hear this.

It might have improved the greenery and improved the mood of the tourists but it also cost money.

Such a huge area of greenery had been modified so much. He must have spent a lot of money. Well done!

The functions of the few large stadiums were similar. They only made a simple division according to the type of animals.

There were not many precious protective animals in this zoo for the time being. Basically, they were all common animals in the zoo. There were also a large number of them between wild animals and pets.

The Serval cat, alpacas, foxes, and parakeets were the type that would not be strange if they were kept in the zoo. It seemed reasonable to keep them at home.

Different zones were also arranged according to the different habits of these animals. The scenery and decorations of the different zones were also compatible with the animals.

The zoo had three entrances and exits that led to different locations in the old industrial zone. Tourists could choose to shop in Thriller Hostel first according to their own needs, then shop in the zoo or directly walk in the zoo.

Pei Qian and the others entered from the main entrance by the road. There would be some differences in the tour route.

After teasing the handsome Serval cat and feeding the round and hairy hunchback, the three of them arrived at the Parro area.

At a glance, Pei Qian saw a handsome Amazonian bird. Most of its feathers were gray, its irises were orange, and there was a tuft of yellow on its head like a hat. There were a few red embellishments at the turn of its wings. Its main feathers were purple-blue. It was very beautiful!

The bird stood on a wooden frame, looking proudly into the distance.

Tang Yishu exclaimed, “Sigh, it’s so beautiful!”

The moment he finished speaking, the wooden frame on which the bird was standing collapsed.

The bird let out a “Holy sh*t” and immediately flapped its wings and flew up. It looked at the three customers in confusion.
