  At 3 PM in the afternoon……

  Pei Qian was lying on the sofa in the living room watching television. The afternoon sun was not bad. It shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows into the living room, warming him up.

  Suddenly, his cell phone rang.

  Pei Qian glanced at the caller ID. It was Min Jingchao.

  “Boss Pei, are you watching Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation’s news conference?” There was a hint of worry in Min Jingchao’s voice.

  Pei Qian was stunned. “No, why?”


  Min Jingchao quickly said, “Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation seem to be making a big move. They’re coming for us.”


  “According to the information we have now, Finger Games is going all out to promote IOI’s local server. The contents of this news conference include IOI’s mobile version, exclusive heroes and skins for domestic players, and a series of preferential activities.”


  “On top of that, according to some sources, Dayak Corporation and Long Yu Corporation don’t seem to intend to limit the burning of money to the games industry. It seems like there are fake reviewers who want to attack our company’s other industries and products. Their primary target should be the cell phone that we just released this month. The fitness equipment that is about to be released might also be quickly included in the attacking range……”


  Pei Qian could not help but be overjoyed hearing Min Jingchao’s anxious voice. “Oh?”


  It’s finally here. I’ve waited so long!

  Pei Qian had been looking forward to the appearance of such a powerful enemy ever since he established Tengda Corporation. It would be able to attack all of Tengda Corporation’s businesses and start a money-burning war with Tengda Corporation. It would not stop until one of them died.

  At first, Pei Qian had thought that Boss Li would be a formidable enemy. However, he did not expect Boss Li to back out so quickly. Instead, Boss Li had come to suck up to him. How infuriating!

  It was the same for Dayak Corporation as well. Pei Qian had provoked them time and time again, but Dayak Corporation seemed to have been very restrained. Instead, they had admitted defeat first. That was why Pei Qian had advanced triumphantly after provoking them for so long. That made him very uncomfortable.

  Dayak Corporation and Finger Games were finally enlightened after Eric’s comeback. They were going to play a money-burning war!

  There was another more optimistic piece of news. The other party was aggressive. Not only did they place the money-burning war in the games industry, but they expanded it to all of Tengda’s businesses.

  Obviously, in Eric’s opinion, it was not wise to fight Tengda to the death in the games industry.

  Tengda Corporation was a conglomerate that spanned across many fields. Its strongest point was that it had formed a business circle in Jingzhou. The various industries supported each other, transfused blood, and then slowly radiated to the surrounding areas.

  If they were to fight to the death in the game industry, Boss Pei would be able to mobilize the forces of other industries to support the game. He would be able to continuously transfuse blood to the game. That way, the chances of winning would not be high.

  Thus, Eric chose the games industry as the main battlefield. At the same time, he spread the secondary battlefields to other industries. That way, it would be able to divert as much of Tengda Corporation’s energy as possible, making it difficult for the various industries to take care of themselves and divert their attention to support the games department.

  What’s more, this was a very efficient method.

  Eric did not really need to enter these fields. He did not need to develop products to compete with Tengda. He only needed to buy more fake reviewers to cooperate with Tengda’s competitors in these industries and think of ways to discredit them.

  Better an open enemy than a false friend. It was easy to dodge a spear in the open, but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow. Tengda was basically in the open now. The situation of various industries had been thoroughly investigated. Eric was hiding in the dark and shooting two arrows from it so that Tengda’s various departments could not take care of themselves.

  Take the cell phone for example. Eric only needed to work with other cell phone manufacturers to constantly smear and attack the Otto cell phone online. That would be very effective.

  After all, it was easy to create rumors and stop them from spreading. However, it was too difficult to get rid of them.

  Obviously, Min Jingchao knew this very well. Thus, he immediately felt a huge threat and quickly came to report to Boss Pei.

  However, this was exactly what Pei Qian wanted!

  Wasn’t Pei Qian worrying about the same thing as Eric?

  Pei Qian could not wait for one of the industries to go cold. That way, he would be able to incur losses continuously. However, these industries would unknowingly link up and pull some industries back from the brink of incurring losses. Instead, they would revive and become profitable!

  Now, Dayak Corporation was willing to spend a huge sum of money to hire fake reviewers to attack Tengda Corporation’s various industries in all directions. What kind of spirit was it to let Pei Qian complete the loss without doing anything?

  Pei Qian felt that if he really made a huge loss this time, he should set up a statue for Eric at home and offer incense every day.

  At that thought, Pei Qian sighed. “It’s finally here!”


  Min Jingchao was stunned at the other end of the phone.

  Why did it sound like Boss Pei had expected this?

  What’s more, Boss Pei sounded like he was relieved of a huge burden, but also a little happy.

  Could it be……?

  Boss Pei had already predicted that Eric would do this. He had already prepared a countermeasure in advance. He reacted this way because Eric had taken the bait and his preparations could finally be put to use now?

  As expected of Boss Pei!

  He was devising strategies to determine the outcome of the battle. No one else had such wisdom and magnanimity other than Boss Pei!

  Pei Qian could rest assured since Boss Pei had already made arrangements.

  Min Jingchao had been a little flustered before, but after the call with Boss Pei, he immediately felt more at ease. He went to do his own things after hanging up.

  Pei Qian immediately switched on the television, found the live-stream of Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation’s news conference, and watched it with interest……

  The news conference finally ended at 6 PM almost three hours later.

  Pei Qian yawned as he switched off the television.

  The content of the news conference was alright, but it was too slow!

  They could have finished the speech in an hour, but they just had to fill it in for three hours, making Pei Qian sleepy.

  He strongly suggested that all news conferences be held similar to Otto Technologies’ news conference. No matter how much content there was, he would compress it to within an hour. He did not want to waste the audience’s precious time!

  However, even though this news conference went on for far too long, the product itself was still quite good.

  Zhao Xuming and Eric, two heavyweights, went on stage and introduced their respective business fields.

  The content of the news conference was divided into the following parts.

  First, he introduced the changes in IOI’s global data, the various achievements of the local server since it was released, and various exclusive benefits for local server users, including the changes in data since the ICL league was held.

  Next was a summary of their previous achievements. It was a daily bragging segment.

  Then, IOI’s version update content was introduced.

  Apart from making slight adjustments to the game’s balance and gameplay, the version update this time included a set of local style skins, a new hero, Skyglow Dragon, that was targeted at the domestic market, and a series of discounts, half-price, and promotional activities.

  The game’s version update content was synchronized globally. Foreign players could also enjoy this content, but the local style and the new hero obviously still had the intention of pleasing domestic players.

  Of course, Long Yu Corporation would definitely spend a lot of money to promote this new version. They would buy a lot of advertisements online and offline. These were not mentioned at the news conference, but they were definitely necessary.

  After that, there was news about IOI mobile games.

  Eric introduced this segment personally and exaggerated the IOI mobile game. It was said to be able to “perfectly reproduce the details of the client-side game”. It promised that the dual-terminal game would be interconnected and all of the current assets of the client-side game could be brought to the mobile game.

  Eric had actually played a little trick here.

  He only said that ‘all of the current assets of the client-side game could be brought to the mobile game’. However, he did not say that there were special fees in the mobile game.

  It wouldn’t be much of a problem even if one were to examine his words carefully. It could only be considered a small word game.

  If the players misunderstood, it would be on the players themselves. They would curse on the internet at most. There should not be much opposition.

  However, no one knew about this other than Eric, Zhao Xuming, and a few others.

  After all, IOI mobile games would only be released next week after the news conference.

  Pei Qian was very satisfied with the contents of the news conference.

  Obviously, Eric was finally enlightened. He had been lying low and quietly preparing for so long. He had finally revealed his true intentions and attacked!

  He glanced at the bullet screen comments in the live-stream and the discussions online. Obviously, most players had also expressed positive and excited attitude towards this news conference.

  After all, the contents of this news conference summarized to one sentence: Dear gamer, you are my daddy!

  From the new heroes of the local style to the new skins, to the interconnected data of IOI’s mobile games, including various operations with huge discounts, it could be seen that Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation had lowered their stance and were completely subservient to domestic players.

  As the saying went, one would not slap a smiling face. The game developers had offered so many benefits, how could players reject them?

  It was just like how no matter how much of a scam some games platforms were, as long as they persisted in sending gamers games every month, as long as they gave enough, gamers would collectively lose their memories and help them wash the ground.

  After all, players were the ones benefiting from the price war.

  Thus, everyone was very happy.

  Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation were ambitious and wanted to burn money to snatch back the domestic market. The domestic players were cheering and jumping for joy, and they could get a bunch of good skins for free. Pei Qian was even happier. Eric was simply a lucky star sent by the heavens to reduce the difficulty of incurring losses!

  As the saying went, it was impolite not to reciprocate.

  Since the other party had already expressed it this way, it would be unreasonable if Tengda did not do anything.

  Pei Qian immediately began preparing a proposal to give back to Tengda games’ players.
