1155 I Can't Make Losses Even Though I'm In The Age of Losses

Lin Wan and Cai Jiadong looked at each other and fell silent for a moment.

They had clearly said to not trouble Boss Pei as much as possible and to complete his homework independently…

Cai Jiadong saw Lin Wan's doubts and said, "Boss Lin, you have to take things one bite at a time. You have to take things one step at a time. If you want to rush, don't."

"Of course, it's a very good idea for you to want Slow Movement Studio to become independent as soon as possible. However, you still have to consider our current actual ability."

"If we act on our own and cause the company to go astray and incur losses, we might as well ask Boss Pei before making a decision. After all, half of our company's investment comes from Tengda. We have to be responsible towardsTengda."

Lin Wan nodded. That made sense.

She could not trouble Boss Pei too much when designing games. That was not a problem. However, she had to trouble Boss Pei if she wanted to understand the future of an industry!

Apart from Boss Pei, no one else had the confidence to make this decision at the fork in the road that decided the company's fate.

It was indeed a little difficult for Cai Jiadong to answer this question.

Lin Wan might have obtained some information from Old Song but it was easier said than done to make decisions through this information.

After much consideration, she decided that she could only consult Boss Pei because this was a very important matter.

Even if Boss Pei could not give her a specific direction, she would definitely gain something by asking.

Lin Wan sighed softly. "Alright, I'll give Boss Pei a call."

A few minutes later, Lin Wan hung up. "Boss Pei said that he wants to come down personally."

Cai Jiadong was overjoyed. "Great news! It would be best if we can talk about this in person!"

"I'll organize the current situation so that I can report to Boss Pei!"

…

A few minutes ago.

Pei Qian had just finished his breakfast at a nearby bun shop.

Why not go to Fish-Catching Internet Cafe?

That was because there were too many people in Fish-Catching Internet Cafe!

In the past, Fish-Catching Internet Cafes' customer flow was relatively fixed. They were all regular customers. Thus, it was not a big deal for Pei Qian to have a meal there.

However, many people were queuing at Fish-Catching Internet Cafe every morning because of the popularity of the VR experience area. Those who could not reach were waiting in the coffee area. It would be difficult for Pei Qian to find a place to rest if he was late.

He could not go to the internet cafe that he opened. That was too despairing!

Pei Qian missed the time when Fish-Catching Internet Cafe was first opened. HIt was great! He was the only one in such a huge internet cafe. He could order whatever he wanted to drink, play games whenever he wanted. The waiters in the internet cafe surrounded him. How good was that?

It was a pity that the beautiful days were gone.

"It's the same for these games media. Why are they interfering!"

"Teacher Qiao is just full of nonsense. He just said it casually. This fellow will feel uncomfortable if he doesn't brag about Tengda for a day."

"Other people can boast that Tengda has heat to ride on, but why are you boasting about Tengda!"

Pei Qian felt a headache when he saw the various games media and even news media praising the Doubt VR glasses, saying that it "symbolized the arrival of the VR era" and "established the rules of VR games."

Chaos, chaos!

A few months ago, the reason why Pei Qian slapped his forehead and asked Slow Movement Studio to do VR was mainly because he felt that the VR industry was not mature and was still in the budding stage. It was a market that could not be more niche.

If he invested so much money, he would probably only be able to earn reputation and not money, right?

However, things were developing completely differently from what Pei Qian had expected!

Why did he suddenly "establish standards for VR games" and "start the VR game era"?

It was just an ordinary casual game!

It was one thing for Teacher Qiao to boast about it, but Pei Qian was not very surprised by this. No matter what game Tengda created, Teacher Qiao would always find special points to boast about it.

The key was that the other game media and gamers were really scammed by Teacher Qiao!

Now, Doubt VR and Animal Island have started the VR gaming era. It had almost become a consensus in the domestic gaming circle and even other circles.

Not only were many companies eager to develop VR games for Doubt VR, but they were also looking for opportunities to enter this blue sea. Many other internet companies were also thinking about taking a share of the profits.

Develop a cheaper version of the VR glasses while the Doubt VR is popular? Make a VR panoramic video application?

Or should he introduce some foreign VR content?

Since the VR era had arrived, this was a huge investment opportunity. Everyone would definitely want a share of the profits.

That was how the internet age was like. Everyone wanted to find the right outlet to be the pig that was being praised. They did not consider that 90% of the pigs would die after the crazy was over.

The remaining 10% would probably be shelved and half-dead.

Only one investment opportunity in a million could grow into a unicorn giant.

"These people are really suicidal."

"VR is definitely a dead end!"

Pei Qian could not help but feel sorry for their fates.

That was because he remembered very clearly that VR had indeed been popular for a period of time, but it quickly went downhill.

Of course, it was not appropriate to say that it went downhill. It was still developing slowly. There were still some new companies that made VRs. However, it quickly subsided compared to the initial craze.

The main reason was that the equipment could not keep up with the market's demand.

Many people liked to compare VR to cell phones, but on further thought, they would realize that the difference between these two devices was too huge.

Cell phones were necessities, but VRs were not; cell phones developed very quickly and new models were released at neck breaking speed. On the other hand, VR technology improved slowly. It might not even reach the ideal resolution and refresh rates for new models within a few years.

Pei Qian was very sure that Doubt VR had indeed started an era, but it had started a false VR era.

The investment opportunity had indeed surfaced, but it would disappear soon.

Companies that had been scammed and rushed in would most likely burn all their investment and lose everything in a year or two.

How envious!

Unlike other companies, Slow Movement Studio had already eaten its first piece of meat in the VR era. What's more, this bite was so delicious.

Even if the entire VR industry turned cold in the future, Doubt VR and Slow Movement Studio would be remembered as the pioneers of the VR era.

The so-called 'pioneer' here did not mean that Slow Movement Studio was the first company to make VR glasses.

This was just like games. Those that had truly established the operating standards of a certain game type were most likely not the first game, but a certain game that had a huge success.

Doubt VR had become a master of the VR industry.

In the past, even though there were VR glasses and VR games, they did not unify all these rules and create a game with high visibility, mature product form, and wide range of equipment and games.

Slow Movement Studio's logo would probably be linked to the concept of virtual reality for a long time.

In other words, it would be very difficult to incur losses.

To Pei Qian, this was a very sad story.

He had clearly started the Great Loss Era of the VR industry, but he could not benefit from this Great Loss Era.

Just thinking about it made him sad.

At that moment, Pei Qian's cell phone rang. It was Lin Wan.

Pei Qian did not want to pick up when he saw the caller ID.

Needless to say, this was definitely to give him undesirable good news!

Pei Qian struggled internally before picking up even though he was very reluctant.

"Boss Pei, I'm sorry to disturb you. I'm a little confused about Slow Movement Studio's future development…"

Pei Qian remained silent for a while after hearing Lin Wan explain her confusion.

"Doubt VR has just been confirmed to be successful, and you're already thinking about the new project?"

"This is too rushed!"

"Give yourself, give the company a break. It won't be too late to work after playing for two months!"

"Work and rest have to go hand in hand!"

Pei Qian did not want to bother about Slow Movement Studio at all.

Don't mess around. The settlement was not even over!

Getting him to think about something that he would only have to think about in the next cycle. Did she think that his brain cells would not die quickly enough?

Lin Wan said, "Boss Pei, aren't you used to thinking about your next step after a project succeeds?"

"I think such great foresight is very worth learning from."

"I'm just like you, Boss Pei. I want to be stricter with myself."

Pei Qian laughed.

Great foresight?

There must have been a misunderstanding!

I had no other choice. If a business failed and earned money, I could only think of other ways to put out the fire as soon as possible. Otherwise, the heavy responsibility of incurring losses during the settlement cycle would not be over!

You don't even have a deadline for the loss settlement cycle. Why are you so anxious?!

However, he could not say these clearly.

After a moment of silence, Pei Qian said, "Alright, I'll go over."

It was not impossible to leave it alone. However, the key problem was that if he left it alone, who knew what Lin Wan would do?

Slow Movement Studio was no longer as famous as before.

No matter what he did, a large number of players would pay attention.

It did not matter if Lin Wan made a new VR game or a regular game. As long as she did not lose her mind and worked hard to show her advantage, the chances of success would be very high.

At most, it would not become popular. However, it would probably still be able to make money.

Thus, Pei Qian felt that he could not be sloppy. He had to take a look personally.

…

Half an hour later, Pei Qian arrived at Slow Movement Studio. He sat in the conference room with Lin Wan and Cai Jiadong.

"As for the future development of Slow Movement Studio… Briefly tell me your views first."

Pei Qian felt that he had to figure it out first.

Lin Wan looked at Cai Jiadong. "Go ahead."

Cai Jiadong nodded. "Boss Pei, my original idea was to continue developing VR games."

"Just as Teacher Qiao said, the Doubt VR glasses have been successful. What's more, 'Animal Island' has established standards for VR games."

"There are actually many ways to develop VR games next."

"For example, make a 3A shooting game or work with other manufacturers to develop VR versions of some successful racing games."

"The chances of success are high and the risks are small. What's more, we can maximize the current VR popularity and further link the image of Slow Movement Studio with the VR industry."
