Chapter 1468: Zhao Xuming’s Good Method

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After some consideration, Jin Yong had an idea.

He called Zhao Xuming and prepared to briefly explain the situation and ask for his opinion.

However, he was interrupted by Zhao Xuming. “Wait a moment. I’ll apply for an emergency overtime limit in the intranet.”

“Alright, what did you say?”

Jin Yong: “…”

Good lord, he had to apply for overtime limit for something like that?

Tengda’s rules and regulations were very strict. He had no choice but to submit to it.

Jin Yong briefly explained the situation.

Zhao Xuming could not help but snicker. “Indeed, a leopard never changes its spots.”

“For most people, when making decisions that do not involve their own interests, they would always be generous, generous, and wise. However, once it involves their own interests, they would naturally become stingy, petty, and short-sighted.”

“That’s how humans are. Nothing can be done about it. However, as the boss, he can benefit the most from it, so he is the most tempted.”

“There are very few people like Boss Pei who have a strong will and can resist all temptations from beginning to end.”

Jin Yong asked, “Then… what should I do?”

After some consideration, Zhao Xuming said, “This is difficult to say, but easy to say.”

“The reason why I said that it’s difficult is because this matter has actually exceeded the scope of your ability. It’s not just a operating problem, but also a workplace problem. If you do as I say, you will naturally be sandwiched between Tengda and Long Yu Corporation. It will also go against your intentions. If you don’t do as I say, the final outcome will only be replaced. Nothing will change.”

“If you don’t jump out of this circle, this problem will be unsolvable to you.”

“However, if you can jump out of this circle and stop being a chess piece in the gap, it would be much easier.”

Jin Yong could not help but feel energized. It was as if he had opened a door to a new world. “What should I do?”

Zhao Xuming said, “It’s very simple. Throw the blame! As long as you throw the blame to Tengda, you will be safe and the matter will be resolved.”

Jin Yong was a little confused. “To Tengda? This… how to shake it off?”

Zhao Xuming smiled. “I’ll look for the people in charge of Bullet Hole 2 from Tengda and ask them to contact Zhou Muyan to release a statement in the name of Sun Strike Studios and Tengda Corporation!”

“This reason is also very sufficient: The players on the internet do not trust us, so we have to release a statement to stabilize the players’ trust.”

“The content of the statement is that this game was jointly developed by Tengda Games and Sun Strike Studios. During the development and operations process, it will completely adopt Tengda’s model, especially in terms of operations.”

“The three parties have reached an agreement. A few principles will be strictly adhered to in terms of operations: we can only reduce the price and discount. Other activities like paying lucky draws, paywalls, and profits will not be involved. Please supervise all players together!”

“Make the previously vague content specific through the players’ certification and push the border directly to Long Yu Corporation!”

“As long as the space to play word games is completely blocked, no one will ask you to play word games.”

Jin Yong was stunned for a moment before realization dawned on him. “Amazing! This way, the entire situation would be completely different!”

The previous situation was one-on-one with Long Yu Corporation. Jin Yong was in the middle and was in a difficult position.

Tengda wanted the operations to be as simple as possible, while Long Yu Corporation wanted to organize some activities as much as possible to earn more money.

There might be corresponding rules in the contract, but it was impossible to leave no space at all. These spaces would become the battlefield for both sides to fight. Jin Yong himself became a soldier of Long Yu Corporation very reluctantly.

During this process, Sun Strike Studios’ attitude was most likely ambiguous because they had the genes of burning money. It was unlikely that they would stand firmly on one side. It was very likely that they would adjust on both sides and try to smooth things over. As for players, they might not know the twists and turns in this matter at all. Naturally, they would not play any key role.

Was there a need for Tengda to fall out with Long Yu Corporation over such a small matter within the contract? It did not seem to be necessary. After all, Tengda would split the money.

The boss of Long Yu Corporation had considered this point. That was why he had such a thought and asked Jin Yong to test it out.

Jin Yong had actually become the rope that Tengda Corporation and Long Yu Corporation were pulling together. How could that be good?

However, Zhao Xuming’s method immediately eliminated Jin Yong.

Tengda Corporation and Sun Strike Studios would release a statement to publicize the operations plan and let all players be witness.

That way, the blurry boundaries that existed in the original contract would no longer exist. Players would naturally supervise according to the strictest standards. Any tricks that they wanted to do would be exposed to players’ supervision.

Then, gamers would know where the problem was. It would definitely be on Long Yu Corporation!

Previously, if players had scolded them, they might have scolded Tengda, Sun Strike Studios, and Long Yu Corporation together. However, now, they would only attack Long Yu Corporation together.

It was equivalent to Jin Yong jumping out directly. It was no longer a tug-of-war between Tengda Corporation and Long Yu Corporation, Sun Strike Studios dissuading the fight, and the gamers knew nothing. Instead, it became Tengda Corporation, Sun Strike Studios, and the gamers standing together and staring at Long Yu Corporation to see if they dared to cause any trouble!

Of course, Jin Yong could never be exposed during this process. He could not let his boss know that he was the one who instigated it. Instead, he had to make it look like Tengda Corporation and Sun Strike Studios had predicted it inexplicably and accidentally blocked Long Yu Corporation’s operation.

Jin Yong was very happy. “Thank you, thank you! This idea is great! I’ll trouble Boss Zhao to arrange this!”

Zhao Xuming smiled. “Don’t worry, leave it to me.”

After hanging up, Jin Yong could not help but feel emotional. Indeed, Boss Zhao was good at pushing the blame away!

What’s more, after Boss Zhao went to Tengda, it seemed like his business level and vision had improved.

Previously, Boss Zhao had also pushed the blame, but it did not seem to be practical. Now, he still pushed the blame away without leaving any traces. However, he could do things without realizing. He had to admit that this was a huge improvement.

As for why this change happened…

Perhaps it was because the environment was different?

It was very difficult to achieve anything big in Long Yu Corporation. Under such circumstances, the best choice was to protect himself and take care of his promotion and salary first.

However, in Tengda Corporation, the entire company was positive. As long as they took advantage of the situation and could naturally achieve good results, Boss Zhao could naturally take advantage of the situation and do things well.

Jin Yong was a little envious.

Strictly speaking, would Tengda’s salary be much higher than Long Yu Corporation’s? Not necessarily.

The salaries of the mid to low-level employees were definitely high, but that was not the case for the upper echelons.

The upper echelons of Long Yu Corporation took a lot of money and had various shares. The person-in-charge of Tengda did not have any shares but only had a high dividend. In fact, he might not be inferior to Tengda.

However, the key was that Tengda’s unique working environment and working environment where all employees were free and easy and their abilities were fully displayed made them feel like they were a part of the company, even the owner of the company.

In Tengda, everyone, including Boss Pei, were partners. They had different responsibilities.

However, in other companies, their hierarchy was often strict. There was even a trend of becoming subservient to others. It made people feel that they were not the owners of companies but slaves. They would only be higher-class slaves if they took more money.

Jin Yong thought for a while and did not continue thinking. After all, the more he thought, the more jealous he became.

Now, he was the person-in-charge of the Bullet Hole 2 project. The project bonus was not little, and the operations were comfortably done. This position was quite good. There was no need to jump to Tengda.

What’s more, even if he wanted to go, people might not have such a high position for him.

He had to do his job well first!

In the afternoon…

Jin Yong pretended to follow his boss’ instructions and made a new operating plan while paying attention to Sun Strike Studios’ movements.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

An announcement was made!

This announcement was made by Sun Strike Studios, but it also included Tengda Corporation’s Long Yu Corporation.

Obviously, this announcement was definitely not what Zhou Muyan wanted to publish. Instead, Tengda had found him. Zhao Xuming and Min Jingchao had worked together internally and emotionally to make Zhou Muyan publish this announcement.

The excuse was not difficult to guess. It was nothing more than: “There are many rumors online now. Gamers don’t believe that we will stick to our current operating plan. We will definitely cheat people of money in the future. This will have a very bad impact on Bullet Hole 2. We have to eliminate the impact in time. At the same time, it will bring more popularity and discussion to Bullet Hole 2. That will make the game more popular.”

Comparatively, even though Zhou Muyan liked to spend money, he still listened to Boss Pei after all. He was completely different from the boss of Long Yu Corporation.

Jin Yong opened the announcement.

“Dear gamers:”

“Bullet Hole 2 was developed by Tengda Corporation and Sun Strike Studios together. It’s the FPS game that Long Yu Corporation was operating in the second era. Given that there have been some baseless suspicion on the internet about the operating model of Bullet Hole 2, we will make two solemn promises to all players here:”

“First, Bullet Hole 2 will strictly set the price of the game according to the pricing list. It will definitely not exceed the pricing under any circumstances;”

“Second, during the operations period of Bullet Hole 2, it would not engage in any other charging and spending activities apart from lowering prices.”

“All gamers are welcome to supervise this statement!”
