Chapter 738: Three Questions

Pei Qian answered, “That’s very simple. There can only be one MOBA game that dominates the world. This is a competition where the winner gets everything.”

“To me, this is not a matter of whether I dare to burn money or not. It’s because I have no other choice. If I don’t persevere, all the money I spent previously would be wasted.”

“What I want to ask is, what is the upper limit for Dayak Corporation to burn money for IOI?”

Eric took a sip of his tea and said after some consideration, “I don’t have a definite answer to this question, and I can’t guarantee its accuracy.”

“The senior executives of our company do not share the same opinion on similar issues. No one knows what the outcome would be before the meeting.”

“What’s more, the company has a department that is in charge of data analysis to provide evidence for higher management decisions. The data in this department is also very important. That is fine because I have a new and very important task for you!”

“If I were to judge, this number would fluctuate according to the situation. If we invest a large amount of resources without seeing any effect and the market share were to increase slowly, it would not be impossible for us to give up.”

“If I had to estimate a number… I would guess 100 million US dollars.”

“Our company only spent about 250 million US dollars on acquiring Finger Games. This has already brought us a certain amount of pressure. We can’t burn money indefinitely, especially if we can’t see a clear future.”

“My second question is the same as you, Boss Pei: What is the upper limit for Tengda Corporation to burn money for GOG?”

Pei Qian smiled. “The upper limit is all the funds that Tengda can use.”

“My third question, 100 million US dollars is obviously not the limit of Dayak’s ability. Then… do you think there is a possibility of Dayak burning more than 100 million US dollars?”

Eric considered for a moment. “I personally think that this possibility exists, but the odds are slim.”

“Everyone knows that our company has always been a company that focuses on short-term interests and immediate gains. This has nothing to do with whether the concept is right or wrong. It’s just our company’s way of thinking.

Lin Wan nodded subconsciously.

The reason why Dayak Corporation was so notorious in the gaming circle was because they displayed the ruthlessness of investment to the extreme.

They bought over many game companies with potential, quickly overdrawing and squeezing out all their potential. That process destroyed many outstanding games companies.

This showed that Dayak Corporation was indeed an investment company that only cared about immediate gains, not long-term interests. There was indeed a very high possibility of Dayak Corporation giving up and stopping their losses if the market share of Finger Games continued to decline and burned money like a bottomless pit without producing any results.

Eric said, “My last question is: Boss Pei, you said that you would use all of your funds to market GOG. However, the problem is that with Tengda’s current size, doing so would definitely put huge pressure on your capital. If there are any uncertain factors, it could cause huge losses and drag down the entire organization.”

“Boss Pei, where did your courage come from?”

Pei Qian remained silent for a moment and sighed. “My luck has always been good.”

That seemed to be a very empty answer, but Eric did not feel dissatisfied. Instead, he fell into deep thought.

A moment later, he smiled and raised his glass. “Boss Pei, I think we have all obtained the information we wanted. Let me toast you.”

Pei Qian raised his glass and smiled. “Mr Eric, I hope we can meet again if fate allows it.”

…

After the meal, at the entrance of the Great World…

Everyone from Tengda watched Eric leave.

Pei Qian could not tell what kind of information Eric would be able to summarize from his own words. He was only sure of one thing: their topic was always on burning money.

As long as Eric could influence the upper echelons of Dayak Corporation to continue burning money happily after he returned, that would be enough. Nothing else mattered.

“Boss Pei, do we need to coordinate with Shang Yang Games?” Lin Wan probed.

Pei Qian shook his head. “There’s no need. Everyone has worked hard today. Go back and rest.”

Little Sun was already waiting in the car. Pei Qian had a few drinks at the dining table and was naturally a little sleepy in the afternoon. Thus, after bidding everyone farewell, he took the car back to rest.

After watching Boss Pei leave, Lin Wan, Zhang Yuan, and Min Jingchao gathered together to discuss what had happened at the dining table.

Zhang Yuan looked confused. “What did Boss Pei and Eric’s three questions mean?”

“None of the three questions they asked seemed to be very important;”

“The answers were quite ambiguous as well, there was no telling which was real and which was fake.”

“Yet, both of them are very satisfied with the answers to the questions. This…”

“It looks like a riddle. I can’t figure it out.”

Zhang Yuan was really confused.

Min Jingchao nodded in agreement. “That’s right. The two of them seemed to have talked about many things, but they didn’t seem to have said anything.”

“Some information might seem important, but based on both parties’ ability to obtain
