Losing Money to Be a Tycoon-Chapter 1665

Chapter 1665: Choice Between Losses and Profits

Pei Qian did not spend too much time thinking. The system hinted that this problem could be considered for a long time and there was no hurry to make a decision.

“I choose to incur losses.”

His decision was not immediately accepted by the system. Another line of text appeared on the screen as a second confirmation.

< Once you make a choice, the system will be upgraded. No changes will be made in the future. Do you want to confirm this? >

Pei Qian could not help but smile. “I’m only so sure because there is no way to change the future.”

“If the future can be changed at any time, I’m really afraid that one day, I will make a decision on a private jet, an island that belongs to me, a global limited edition top-notch sports car, or something.”

“Once you’ve decided, you can never make a change. I don’t want to have such an opportunity to regret.”

“That’s because going back on my word means that I’ve lost my last line of defense as Tengda!”

“Actually, this multiple-choice question is not to choose the way to convert wealth, but to choose two different identities.”

“I can choose to be a rich slave or a not so rich and upright person.”

…

“The most assets I have would only be slaves to capital. I want to be the master of capital!”

“Wealth does not depend on how much you have, but how to use it!”

“A tycoon should not be the person with the most wealth. Instead, he should be the person who knows how to make the best use of his wealth.”

“I’m just an ordinary person. It’s impossible for me to resist such temptation forever. However, luckily, I can make this decision when my mind is the most clear. I’ll never have the chance to regret in the future.”

The words on the system screen continued rolling.

< Wealth Conversion System 3.0 >

<Owner: Pei Qian>

< Loss Conversion Ratio: 50: 1 >

< Fixed Settlement Time: December 31st every year >

< Initial System Funds for the next cycle: 250 million yuan >

< Click to unfold fixed assets, infrastructure projects, personal wealth etc. >

The huge stone in Pei Qian’s heart was finally lifted seeing the system being upgraded again.

After the dust had settled, he could not regret even if he wanted to. That was a good thing.

Pei Qian had been watching people online analyze Tengda Corporation’s business model and the game and movie ‘The Future You Choose’ for the past two months.

Some praised Tengda Corporation and Boss Pei to the skies, while others wanted to step on Tengda Corporation and Boss Pei to the ground.

Some said that Boss Pei was a business genius that had never appeared before. At the same time, he was a wise man and philanthropist who could see through the fog of history and embrace all mankind!

Boss Pei had used his astonishing business wisdom to create a behemoth like Tengda Corporation, but he could also stick to his original beliefs and use his idealism to light up all the employees in the company and all the users. He could allow his idealism to continue expanding and affect more and more people.

Tengda Corporation was the process of good money expelling bad money. Under Tengda Corporation’s lead, domestic companies were either defeated or assimilated. The entire business environment had changed drastically from the game industry to other fields!

It was not an exaggeration to call Boss Pei the savior who created all of this.

Some also said that Tengda Corporation was a huge scam!

Boss Pei was a genius liar like Meng Chang. However, Meng Chang’s rank was too low, and Boss Pei’s rank was so high that no one could see through him.

Everyone thought that Boss Pei was a perfect person, and that was the most dangerous thing. Tengda Corporation could defeat all opponents through the will of the people during its development period. However, no one could guarantee that Boss Pei and Tengda Corporation would suddenly reveal their true colors one day and stand against everyone.

Then, he would be the scariest enemy!

Pei Qian did not know to laugh or to cry as he sighed.

That was because these two arguments were obviously not the truth of the matter, but they were extremely close to the future that could be touched.

Would Tengda Corporation never change?

Pei Qian was more suspicious of this than anyone else.

What in the world would never deteriorate?

Many people thought that Boss Pei was the embodiment of Tengda’s soul and will, but Pei Qian knew that he was just an ordinary person. In the future, he would also face all sorts of temptations. The more Tengda Corporation developed, the stronger the temptation it would suffer.

In fact, Boss Pei had unparalleled power in Tengda. No one could compete with him for that power!

Once Pei Qian lost his composure, the entire Tengda Corporation might collapse quickly, even if it was for a limited edition luxury car or a yacht or a private jet.

He would either be quickly abandoned by the people or become a more terrifying existence above the people.

Then, the game ‘The Future You Choose’ and the scene described in the movie would no longer be a fantasy.

Thus, Pei Qian had been thinking about how to guard his inner defense.

It was impossible to rely on one’s willpower.

The upgrade made by the system gave him a perfect solution.

As long as Pei Qian did not benefit directly from Tengda Corporation’s development and chose to stand on the opposite side of Tengda Corporation, he would be the biggest threat to Tengda Corporation. He could cut the Gordian knot at any time when he found that something was amiss.

After making this choice, it also indicated that Pei Qian’s identity was no longer just the President of Tengda Corporation, but a ruthless regulator. It allowed Tengda Corporation to forever be free from the curse of capital appreciation.

Pei Qian could also avoid being controlled by capital forever.

Perhaps in the future, Pei Qian would regret his decision countless times.

Perhaps this decision would cause him to lose a private island, a few private planes, many luxurious sports cars, many seaview villas, and many very expensive things.

However, Pei Qian firmly believed that he would definitely persevere and be grateful for his decision today in the last second of his life.

That was because this decision could allow him to step on the heads of capital forever and be a upright person.

It would also allow countless people who might be oppressed by capital to live with dignity.

Pei Qian felt that using some planes and yachts to exchange for a better future was simply not worth it.

“Therefore, I have to thank the system.”

“I can’t do anything without the system.”

“I don’t know if I’m considered the trashiest host to the system. After all, losing money can convert Personal Wealth. I delayed for four years before I managed to get 20 million yuan. That’s really embarrassing for the owner.”

“However, perhaps my gameplay is the best way to open this system?”

“By chance, I chose the right path. I have to say that my luck is really good.”

Pei Qian could not help but feel emotional.

…

…

January 3rd, 2014.

After the New Year’s Day holiday, Tengda Corporation resumed its daily work.

At that moment, in the large conference room in Tengda Corporation’s headquarters, the people in charge gathered. They looked worried and expectant.

Boss Pei had not visited the company for two months. The amazing thing was that Tengda Corporation’s various tasks were still progressing smoothly even though Boss Pei was not around to make decisions. Many businesses were even developing better than before.

The negative profit event that Boss Pei suggested not only had a enthusiastic response in society, but it also gave the people in charge some new insights into the Tengda spirit.

Perhaps negative profit activities were to temporarily abandon the company’s profitability and more bear the company’s social attributes, using the company’s development to feed the society.

He had to think about the mission of the company seriously. Apart from earning money, he had to think about whether he could do more important things.

Today, Boss Pei came to the company to hold a meeting with all the people in charge.

According to Boss Pei, he wanted to make some simple arrangements for the future development of the company.

When the person-in-charge had gathered for a meal the last time, Boss Pei had said that he would leave the company for a year or even longer. However, Boss Pei had not said anything at that time. Instead, he had left some room for himself to say that he might change his mind.

Thus, at today’s meeting, Boss Pei might announce that he was not leaving and continue to lead Tengda for twenty years.

Many people in charge came to participate in the meeting with such expectations.

What’s more, the meeting this time was not only about the heads of the various departments. It also included Lin Wan, Li Shi, and other company bosses who were closely related to Tengda Corporation.

As for Lin Wan and Li Shi, the bosses of companies who followed Tengda Corporation closely, they had the same worries as the heads of Tengda’s various departments. In fact, they were even more worried!

For example, Li Shi had always regarded Boss Pei as his investment secret. No matter what project Boss Pei did, he just had to invest mindlessly. However, if Boss Pei was not in charge of Tengda Corporation’s various investments now, wouldn’t his investment secret be equivalent to disappearing?

Was Li Shi going to retire with Boss Pei? That did not seem appropriate.

Boss Pei did not think that he had retired early, but Li Shi felt that he was still in his prime. It would not be a problem for him to work for more than ten years.

As for Lin Wan, Slow Movement Studio might not be working so closely with Tengda Corporation at the moment. What’s more, Slow Movement Studio had already formed its own brand and game design concept. It even had some achievements in VR games. However, Tengda Corporation would always feel empty without Boss Pei.

Boss Pei was like a flag that could very well unify everyone’s mental world.

Even if Boss Pei did not interfere in any actual company business, as long as he sat in the office, he would feel very safe. He would make people feel that everything was on the right track. There was no need to worry if there were problems.

However, once Boss Pei was no longer in that office but in a corner where no one could find him, everyone would inevitably become very worried!

Pei Qian walked into the conference room amidst this atmosphere.

Everyone looked at Boss Pei and realized that he did not look as shy as before. Instead, he looked relieved. It was as if some problems that had been troubling him had been resolved after three months of long thinking.
