Pei Qian had just woken up at that moment and was playing games on his big television after washing up.
Today was his long awaited weekend. He should have a good rest after working hard for a week. What’s more, there weren’t any major threats to be dealt with recently. All sorts of work were progressing in an orderly manner. There was a high chance of losing money this cycle.
His cell phone rang just as he was immersed in the game.
He picked it up and saw that it was Wu Yue.
Pei Qian instinctively resisted.
That was because he really did not know how to deal with FV Club!
This thing was now a hot potato. He could not throw it away or continue holding it in his hand.
In fact, Pei Qian’s idea was very simple when he first invested in the entire FV Club. He wanted to find a way to incur losses for himself. Especially when he sent these people out for competitions and public travel. Spending a few million yuan at once made Pei Qian extremely happy.
In the end, he did not expect to win the championship for no reason. He had earned all of those millions with interest!
That made Pei Qian very uncomfortable.
The problem now was that if Pei Qian sold the shares of the club, he would definitely make a huge profit. That was because FV Club’s reputation and valuation had risen rapidly after winning the championship.
Selling it now would mean that Pei Qian would get another huge sum of money that he did not know how to spend. It would easily disrupt his plan for this cycle.
However, if he did not sell it, the club would have an endless stream of money for him. That would be very uncomfortable.
After some hesitation, Pei Qian picked up the phone.
He had no choice. There were some things that he had to face no matter how unwilling he was.
“Boss Pei! I think I have to report the situation at FV Club to you. Zhao Xuming called me just now to discuss something…”
“What do you think I should do?”
“Should we refuse to cooperate? Pay lip service? Or… cooperate?”
Wu Yue felt that Boss Pei would probably let him choose the first two.
That was because GOG and IOI were competitors. There were also some grudges between Tengda Corporation and Finger Games. Be it personal grudges or interests, Boss Pei had no reason to use FV Club to increase IOI’s popularity.
Of course, the possibility of rejecting the collaboration was low. Boss Pei would probably make himself look compliant on the surface, but in reality, he would do something behind the scenes to suppress IOI’s popularity.
Eric had become the person-in-charge of the Huaxia region once again. The new official was burning three fires: lowering the price to fight a price war, preparing to develop a mobile version of IOI, and planning for the ICL league. Obviously, he was coming on aggressively.
In Wu Yue’s opinion, Eric’s three strategies would put a lot of pressure on GOG.
GOG might have a huge business and a stable position in the local server, but once the attack and defense changed, it would be difficult to predict what would happen next.
He had to mobilize 100% of his strength to deal with him even if the other party had been defeated by him before. Otherwise, arrogance might lead to failure.
As the person-in-charge of the club that Boss Pei had invested in, Wu Yue was prepared to sacrifice FV Club under necessary conditions.
What Wu Yue did not know was that Boss Pei was looking ecstatic over the phone.
Not bad! Eric, the person-in-charge of the Huaxia area, did well!
The things he had done after taking office were very reliable! Now, Zhao Xuming had come to Wu Yue, obviously hoping to repair his relationship with FV Club. He wanted to use FV as the champion team’s influence on domestic players to publicize and attract a wave of players to IOI’s local server, which had very few players.
It had to be said that IOI’s local server was indeed the heartache of Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation. There were few players, their competitiveness level was not high. What’s more, their version was often behind foreign countries. Thus, many professional players, including FV Team, used accelerators and went to the foreign server to train with high delay.
It could have a good directional effect and inject some fresh blood into IOI’s local server this time if they were to customize the champion skin of the Chinese style for FV Club and organized the ICL league.
Of course, Pei Qian would support such behavior with both hands!
Pei Qian was not worried at all about the threat that IOI could pose to GOG. Instead, he hoped that IOI would be stronger so that he could burn more money.
At that thought, Pei Qian immediately said, “You have to cooperate fully with Long Yu Corporation’s requests! Make this champion’s skin beautiful, help them promote it, and do some live commerce. As for ICL’s publicity, you have to do your best to cooperate. The cooler it is, the more influential it is, the better!”
Wu Yue: “Huh?”
He was stunned.
Wasn’t that funding the enemy?
Wu Yue wasn’t sure. He said doubtfully, “Boss Pei, this would bring huge popularity to IOI and pose a threat to GOG!”
FV Club might be playing IOI but we are obviously on Boss Pei’s side. We can immediately transfer all our members to GOG as long as you give the order!”
Pei Qian was shocked. Transfer everyone to GOG?
Stop fooling around!
I don’t want DGE’s tragedy to repeat itself!
Pei Qian’s tone became serious. “Don’t guess blindly!”
“I have my reasons for asking you to fully cooperate with Long Yu Corporation’s publicity plan. You will understand in the future.”
“What’s more, FV Club is also important to me. You’ve won the world championship, so you should be receiving this kind of publicity and preferential treatment. You deserve this treatment now that Long Yu Corporation is willing to fork out this money. Why not enjoy it?”
Wu Yue was silent for a moment. He was a little moved as he said, “Thank you, Boss Pei. I understand now! I’ll definitely get my team members to train harder and continue to get good results. I won’t let Boss Pei down!”
Pei Qian was a little confused after hanging up.

Why was Wu Yue so moved?
…
On the other side, Wu Yue hung up and felt that his goal was clearer than ever.
They would do as Boss Pei said since he had spoken, and fully cooperate with Long Yu Corporation’s promotional activities!
Wu Yue heard the implied meaning in Boss Pei’s words.
On the one hand, cooperating with Long Yu Corporation’s publicity was in line with Boss Pei’s plan for the business competition between the two sides. On the other hand, it was out of concern for FV Club.
Obviously, Boss Pei did not treat FV Club purely as a money-making tool nor as his accessory. Instead, he respected the dreams of every member of FV Club and treated everyone as friends!
Wu Yue immediately went to the training room to tell his team members about the championship skin and ICL league.

February 20th, Monday afternoon.
The crew of Mission and Choice came to the nameless restaurant for the second gathering.
This time, it was a real ‘farewell meal’.
After this meal, everyone would be going on their separate ways to do their own things.
The editing and post-production of the movie ‘Mission and Choice’ would continue to be edited. Time was tight and the task was heavy. Director Zhu Xiaoce would bring a group of people to film a documentary for the Cold-Faced Lady by the roadside vendor. Lu Zhiyao would leave Jingzhou. Celebrities like him had a very full schedule.
Actually, Zhu Xiaoce and Lu Zhiyao could have chosen to leave last week, but they chose to stay because they could not bear to miss this meal.
It was rare to be able to enjoy a meal in a nameless restaurant. It might only happen once a year. Of course, he could not miss it!
Everyone stuffed themselves with food and chatted.
Lu Zhiyao said regretfully. “Boss Pei didn’t come today. It’s a pity that I can’t meet him one last time.”
Zhu Xiaoce could not help but laugh. “What are you talking about? Why is this the last time? Didn’t we just meet him last week? What’s more, the movie is going to be released in about a month. You’ll definitely have a chance to meet Boss Pei then.”
Lu Zhiyao nodded. “Yes, I just want to thank Boss Pei in person. He invested a few hundred million yuan into a movie, but it turned out to be my one-man show. He is really flattering me! It’s hard to express my gratitude with words.”
Zhu Xiaoce said, “That’s not necessary. You acted very well. This is a win-win situation.”
“However, it’s a pity that Boss Pei did not come. I wanted to tell him about the documentary at the Cold-Faced Lady’s stall today, but since Boss Pei did not come… forget it.”
“Perhaps he already knows about this.”
Huang Sibo nodded. “Yes, Boss Pei is very busy. There’s no need to waste his time on such a small matter.”
“I wonder which industry is Boss Pei working on now?”
…
At the same time, in the office of Sloth Apartments.
Pei Qian was listening to the Manage Loss Management report on the current operations of Sloth Apartments when he suddenly felt his nose itch. He wanted to sneeze. He rubbed it and suppressed the sneeze.
As for why it was the Manage Loss Trainee reporting instead of Liang Qingfan…
Liang Qingfan was not around. He had gone to Egypt with Bao Xu and would only be back in the middle of next month.
However, the Manage Loss Management knew the business of Sloth Apartments very well, so it did not affect the report at all.
Up until now, Sloth Apartments had developed the 1.0 version ‘focus mode’ and 2.0 version ‘livable mode’ respectively. They had both achieved great success. All the apartments were filled with tenants.
In addition, Sloth Apartments naturally developed other profit models, such as working with furniture manufacturers to customize furniture, working with real estate developers to customize model rooms, and so on.
The Sloth Apartments model could be said to be a huge success among young people.
However, this did not affect Pei Qian’s use of Sloth Apartments to burn System Funds.
That was because the System had a special rule when it came to calculating funds. If Pei Qian spent a huge sum of money on buying buildings, they would only be calculated as Fixed Assets. Thus, as long as Pei Qian did not sell these buildings, he would incur losses during settlement.
What’s more, the System Funds would be doubled during this cycle. Pei Qian would have a lot of space to operate when it came to buying buildings.
He had to prepare for the next stage of building purchases.
Pei Qian said to the Manage Loss Trainee, “I’ll briefly explain the next stage of the plan. You can start researching it first and make specific plans after Liang Qingfan returns.”
“This time, Sloth Apartments will leave Jingzhou and head towards the super first-tier cities. Do some reece and buy buildings in the remote areas of Beijing and Shanghai.”
Pei Qian had done some simple research on the relevant policies.
At the moment, Beijing and Shanghai did not have strict restrictions on purchasing property. They only had to pay additional tax. Therefore, it was much more expensive than an individual buying a house. What’s more, these properties had to be used for legal operations and pay relevant taxes.
Pei Qian had not intended to sell these houses in the first place. He had indeed wanted to do the rental business. Thus, it was completely in line with the rules.
Pei Qian had thought things through now. The Sloth Apartments were full anyway. Wouldn’t it be the same no matter where he bought now?
It should not be a problem as long as he did not buy houses in the heart of Beijing or Shanghai.
Of course, one might not be able to buy an entire building in the downtown area even if they wanted to. The model of Sloth Apartments was that one had to buy an entire building, otherwise it would be difficult to conduct a unified closed management.
That was because the quota this time was higher. They might have to buy a few buildings if they were to buy in Jingzhou or other second-tier cities. It would be more troublesome once the number increased.
He might as well buy in Beijing and Shanghai. The prices of each house were high. He could probably spend enough System Funds by buying one building each.
