As soon as Mr. Pei said this, both He Desheng and Meng Chang were stunned.
Meng Chang was excited to continue talking, but Mr. Pei's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on his head, which chilled him to the core.
Meng Chang's expression changed from shock, to confusion, to bewilderment.
His usual calm demeanor disappeared without a trace, and even his speech was a little stuck: "Pei, Mr. Pei, why did you say this? You are not kidding, are you? What is there that the cold-faced girl can't do well?
You can point out the place!"
Meng Chang panicked instantly.
For him, it was important to get money from Mr. Pei today, but if he couldn't get the money, he wouldn't suffer too much of a loss. After all, the funds on hand were enough to last for a while.
In this case, it's always a good idea to try your luck.
However, Meng Chang never expected that Mr. Pei would withdraw!
For Meng Chang, this news was like a bolt from the blue!
Because what Meng Chang needs most right now is not money, but the confidence of investors.
Whether it's getting investment from Mr. Pei, or spending money to give speeches and create buzz, it's all to increase the confidence of investors.
Only when investors have confidence in the cold-faced girl and continue to invest money can the company's valuation continue to rise, and the game can continue to be played, and finally cash out and achieve financial freedom.
But on the other hand, once the confidence of investors collapses and no one is optimistic about the Cold Noodle Girl brand, Meng Chang will not be able to sustain it for long at its current rate of burning money.
It is impossible to hide the news about Mr. Pei's withdrawal, and it is very likely to cause the cold-faced girl to completely collapse!
Therefore, even Meng Chang, who had always been calm and faced all kinds of big scenes with ease, couldn't help but panic.
Pei Qian smiled very politely: "There is nothing wrong with the Cold Noodle Girl brand. I did this simply because of some internal reasons at Tenda, which have nothing to do with you."
The corners of Meng Chang's mouth twitched slightly, feeling that his intelligence had been insulted.
God, it doesn’t matter. Do you think I’m a fool?
We were having a good conversation when we came here, but in the middle of my ppt presentation you suddenly said you wanted to leave, and then said you had nothing to do with me?
What a liar!
Mr. Pei definitely did this on purpose!
But Meng Chang has no choice but to point his finger at Mr. Pei’s nose and scold him now, right?
Pei Qian took a sip of tea: "Based on the current situation of the cold-faced girl, there should be many investors vying to invest. If Tengda sells its shares, someone will definitely buy it, and the valuation of the cold-faced girl will not
Affected. What’s more, since you’ve already made a profit, there’s nothing to worry about, right?”
Meng Chang opened his mouth and was speechless for a moment.
What Mr. Pei said made sense, and he was speechless for a moment.
Indeed, if we go by Meng Chang's boast, Tengda's withdrawal will not have any impact on the cold-faced girl. Anyway, there are many people waiting to take over. But the question is, why did Tengda withdraw?
Wouldn’t it be good to continue holding the shares and wait for the value to appreciate?
Or is it that Mr. Pei has already seen my plan and is deliberately acting here to tease me?
Is this irony or humiliation?
Meng Chang froze for a moment. With his intelligence and cunning, he couldn't figure out what Mr. Pei's real thoughts were at this time, and he instantly became a little at a loss.
He Desheng, who was sitting nearby, did not speak, but paid close attention to the subtle changes in Mr. Pei's demeanor.
In his opinion, although the data on Meng Chang's ppt does have some careful thoughts, and it is obviously a little financial number game, this is a common phenomenon, and the flaws cannot be concealed. Cold-faced Girl is still a company worth investing in.
What Mr. Pei considered was not to sell part to cash out and keep part of the shares, but to exit directly and completely cut off the relationship with the cold-faced girl.
Could it be said that Mr. Pei is still resolutely implementing the previous investment strategy? Even a brand like Cold Noodle Girl is no exception?
But... Strictly speaking, the so-called "turnaround" of the cold noodle girl is actually very watery. It is a "turnaround on the ppt" after a large amount of costs are amortized in the future and a part of the marketing expenses are deducted.
Not really making money.
He Desheng felt that as a subordinate, it was necessary to give a reminder.
He leaned close to Mr. Pei's ear and whispered: "Mr. Pei, the cold-faced girl has not really made a profit yet, but there is a trend of making profits. We are strictly following the investment rules we set before, and we will wait until the cold-faced girl really makes a profit.
Just withdraw, or withdraw now?”
Um?
Pei Qian couldn't help but frown slightly and hesitated again.
If you withdraw your capital, you are afraid of killing a loyal minister in vain; if you don't withdraw, you are afraid that the valuation will get higher and higher in the future. The later you withdraw, the more you will make, and you will be in trouble then.
After thinking about it for a moment, Pei Qian felt that it was better to give this last opportunity to Meng Chang himself.
He looked at Meng Chang: "Don't talk about those bells and whistles on the ppt. Just tell the truth. How likely is the cold-faced girl to make me make money, and how much."
"Is there any possibility of losing money? How much can I lose at most?"
"Tell the truth and give an accurate number."
Meng Chang saw He Desheng whispering something next to Mr. Pei. Although he didn't know exactly what he said, judging from Mr. Pei's attitude, the matter seemed to have turned around.
Meng Chang felt as if he had grasped a life-saving straw and was overjoyed.
In his opinion, Mr. Pei was obviously giving him a blow first to make him express his determination!
Meng Chang couldn't help but regret a little, because he felt that he had shown cowardice just now.
When Mr. Pei said he wanted to withdraw, his reaction was a little extreme, which actually showed that the cold-faced girl really relied on Tengda's financial support.
And Mr. Pei’s next question was like asking Meng Chang how much benefit he could bring to Tenda Group after accurately grasping the fate of the cold-faced girl.
At this time, Meng Chang didn't have many choices. He must stand firmly on President Pei's side and promise a bright future to President Pei in order to exchange for President Pei's continued support.
Thinking of this, Meng Chang immediately became very serious and serious, and decisively promised: "Don't worry, Mr. Pei, the cold-faced girl will definitely make you money! It's just a matter of making more or less!"
"I guarantee you that the two ways to make money can help you achieve at least one of them."
"The first is that Cold Noodle Girl continues to make profits. As the major shareholder of Cold Noodle Girl, you hold the shares for a long time and receive dividends until they are listed and obtain long-term benefits; the second is that after more capital comes in, you want to
You can leave the market at any time when you leave the market. The longer you hold it, the higher the valuation will be and the more you will earn!”
"As for losses, I assure you that this will never happen."
"So far, every step of the development of Cold Noodle Girl has been in my plan. As long as we continue to develop step by step, your investment will definitely get generous returns without any risk of loss!"
"So, I hope you will persist for at least another three months, no, one month, and you will definitely see returns! Of course, if you can invest some more money, that would be even better..."
Pei Qian fell into silence for a minute.
Then, he picked up the teacup and said, "Send off guests!"
Meng Chang was instantly shocked: "Hey? Mr. Pei!"
He looked at Mr. Pei and then at He Desheng, his mind went blank.
What's going on? Didn't things just take a turn for the better? Why did Mr. Pei's face suddenly collapse?
What did I say wrong?
He Desheng had already stood up: "Please."
Meng Chang still wanted to say something more to try to make President Pei change his mind, but seeing President Pei's decisive attitude, he hesitated and gave up.
Because he knows that caring leads to chaos, and now if he loses his composure due to anxiety, it will be easier to expose his flaws in front of President Pei, and President Pei will only retreat more resolutely.
Withdraw first and wait for Mr. Pei's emotions to settle. Maybe things will turn around in two days.
There is no other way around this.
Thinking of this, Meng Chang could only nod reluctantly: "Okay, Mr. Pei, please think about it slowly."
He Desheng sent Meng Chang away and then returned to the reception room again.
"Mr. Pei, are you sure you want to sell all the shares in Lengmian Girl? Don't you think about it anymore?" He Desheng asked.
Pei Qian had a firm attitude: "Sell! Sell immediately!"
"If I sell it now, will I make a lot of money again?"
Pei Qian had already prepared for the worst.
He Desheng shook his head: "Mr. Pei, it's hard to say. At present, Lengmian Girl has not been listed on the market, and the valuation is very fictitious. The exact value of these shares depends on negotiations between the two parties and how much the person who takes over is willing to spend.
"
"But don't worry, Mr. Pei, I will try my best to negotiate and strive for the highest price."
"Moreover, it is impossible for Meng Chang to let the shares in your hands be sold at a low price. After all, this will affect the valuation of the cold-faced girl and the confidence of other investors. He will definitely work hard to facilitate a high-value transaction. The two of us will discuss it together.
, it should be 9 out of 10, but it’s difficult to guarantee a specific number.”
The corners of Pei Qian's mouth twitched slightly.
Trying to sell for a high price?
How can that work!
Pei Qian has invested a total of 8 million in the cold-faced girl. If he earns 20 to 30 million by then, why should he vomit blood on the spot?
It has to be sold cheaply, preferably lower than 8 million!
Pei Qian thought for a while and said, "Can you sell it a little...lower?"
He Desheng was stunned for a moment.
What does selling at a slightly lower price mean? Does Mr. Pei still think the selling price is too much?
But he quickly reacted: "Oh, Mr. Pei, you mean, don't negotiate repeatedly in order to sell at a high price, but sell it as soon as possible? In order to sell it as soon as possible, it doesn't matter if you sell it a little lower?"
Pei Qian: "...Almost."
We can't expressly say that He Desheng is selling at a low price, we can only hint at it. However, there is nothing wrong with He Desheng's understanding. The result should be the same.
He Desheng nodded: "I understand, Mr. Pei, I will definitely handle this matter properly!"
…
…
Wednesday, December 14th.
The filming scene of "Mission and Choice".
"Card!"
"Okay, this one is good. We'll secure another one later and we can call it a day."
"Yes, things are getting better and better recently. The filming progress is faster than expected. Sure enough, we know that our leading actor has found the right person!"
Zhu Xiaoce did not hesitate to speak kindly to Lu Zhiyao.
Lu Zhiyao smiled sheepishly: "Hey, this is all due to Mr. Pei's good guidance and the script. I'm just the icing on the cake."
Zhu Xiaoce patted him on the shoulder: "Why are you so humble? Come on, this is the script for the next stage. You should take the time to read it first and feel it."
Lu Zhiyao reached out and took it.
According to director Zhu Xiaoce's plan, the film "Mission and Decision" must complete all filming and officially wrap up around March, because there will still be a lot of time for post-production and special effects.
Almost all scenes in "Mission and Choice" have special effects, which is very time-consuming to make, and enough time must be set aside to ensure that it can be released in June as planned.
The pressure on filming is also quite high.
The current filming schedule has not completely followed the script. Many scenes of the previous plot have not been fully filmed to the most satisfactory state. However, Zhu Xiaoce believes that Lu Zhiyao's acting skills and condition have been adjusted almost, and they are basically ready.
If he can perfectly control the role of Qin Yi in the previous stage, he can almost give him a script for the next stage, allowing him to figure out Qin Yi in the next stage in advance.
The filming went relatively smoothly, thanks to Mr. Pei.
On the one hand, Mr. Pei gave Lu Zhiyao confidence and stimulated his potential, allowing him to figure out the role by himself, hone his acting skills, and improve his acting skills without anyone's guidance; on the other hand, Mr. Pei arranged for someone to produce
The fully automatic intelligent lifting machine also allows Lu Zhiyao to play with aeeis whenever he has time, allowing him to more immersively figure out the role.
Now, Lu Zhiyao is about to accept a new challenge.
Lu Zhiyao also couldn't wait to open the script and check out the plot behind it.
In the previous plot, Qin Yi had already understood the inevitability of the previous commander and the aeeis command, and Lu Zhiyao couldn't wait to welcome the final battle between humans and Zerg.
…
Qin Yi had no expression on his face and commanded one battle after another in an orderly manner. Around him, countless starships were destroyed, and countless humans and Zerg were blown to pieces, leaving no bones left.
He was like a perfect war machine, issuing instructions one after another and directing battle after battle. The death of soldiers seemed to be hard to cause any emotional waves in him.
If the death of one person is a tragedy, then the death of too many people is just a number.
During this long shot, aeeis had an emotionless side, which seemed to be addressed not only to Qin Yi, but also to the audience in front of the camera and the players playing the game.
"Command is the most critical part of war. It brings together countless soldiers to form a powerful joint force."
"Command can be divided into two aspects: information processing and action decision-making."
"In war, information processing is particularly important, because wrong information means wrong decisions. Both warring parties will receive massive amounts of information every moment. How to process this information, judge their authenticity and priority, often determines
Was the final decision correct?"
"Information can be regarded as a 'transmission chain': whether a piece of information is uploaded or delivered, it needs to go through various levels and channels like a chain. The transmission chain determines the efficiency of information utilization."
"In any case, the information transmitted must be 'selective', otherwise both the commander and his subordinates will be overwhelmed by the massive amount of information and become overwhelmed."
"This selectivity is the most basic logical setting, so deception has always existed along with war."
"In ancient China, there was a story about 'looking at plum blossoms to quench thirst'; in modern wars, the Japanese army after the Battle of Midway deliberately concealed the truth of the war."
“The truth about the Battle of Midway was neither informed to the public nor to senior officials. Instead, it was announced that the war was ‘a battle that will determine the overall situation’, and the deceived citizens celebrated the ‘victory’ with lights and colorful decorations.”
"And in more cases, 'deception' does not mean 'telling the wrong truth,' but 'deliberately concealing part of the information.'"
"In order to ensure that soldiers obey orders, few superiors will directly give orders to soldiers: 'Go and pay with your life.' This will not only not give the soldiers any sense of honor, but will also cause a fatal blow to morale."
"In war command, the commander often just issues a clear mission, such as holding a certain position for 2 hours and then retreating. But the commander will never say out of the blue: 'This operation has a high probability of destroying the entire army.
The entire army was wiped out.'"
"So, deception is not a hypocritical trick. More often than not, it is just the most efficient processing of the information transmission chain, in order to expand the results, reduce losses, and achieve greater victory."
Along with aeeis' narration, Qin Yi began to direct battles one after another.
Because of the presence of immersive elements, these battles are a mixture of real battles and virtual battles.
If Qin Yi fails in a certain battle, or is dissatisfied with the results, he can ask aeeis to review the battle. The simulation will restore the original deployment of troops on both sides, but things will still happen during the war due to the system's calculations.
A series of random events make every review different.
In this case, Qin Yi was able to judge that this was a simulation simulated by aeeis, rather than a real battle, because in reality, these people had already died due to the failure of the initial battle.
The battles that Qin Yi encountered for the first time were also a mixture of real and fake. According to Aeeis, sometimes he was commanding real armies, and sometimes he was commanding virtual battles.
But regardless of whether these battles are real or fake, Qin Yi will direct them with 120% concentration, because in the mixture of real and fake, he has become accustomed to treating every unit on the screen as a living person.
It is precisely because of this mentality that Qin Yi began to rely more and more on various data provided by aeeis.
Because Qin Yi discovered that in most cases, data is more reliable than people. If a soldier's morale has dropped to freezing point, then commanding him to perform important tasks will have obvious results.
During this long process, Qin Yi gradually became numb.
In addition to the necessary sleep every day, Qin Yi is constantly conducting command and mechanical operations one after another.
If it succeeds, move on to the next battle; if it fails, replay it countless times until you win.
Infinite loop day after day, infinite repetition.
There is no day or night in the command cabin, only aeeis accurately calculates the time to let Qin Yi go to sleep or wake up.
Qin Yi didn't remember how many times he slept or how many days had passed, because the decisive battle could come at any time, so he had to seize all the time to prepare.
Finally one day, Qin Yi was awakened by aeeis in his sleep.
In the surrounding holographic images, Qin Yi saw an overwhelming swarm of insects moving in and out of the reorganization nest. Human strongholds on the planet and starships floating in the starry sky were already in full swing.
The current situation is self-evident, and a new round of large-scale battles is about to begin.
This battle may take a long time, or it may collapse in an instant and end quickly because of a trivial mistake.
Qin Yi stepped towards the console. When the day finally arrived, he felt calmer than ever before.
