Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

fireworks after winning and showing off!”

Eric sighed.
“What can we do?”

Eric was helpless about this summer promotional event.

He wanted to burn money with Boss Pei.
It was easy to talk to Finger Games, but Dayak Corporation could no longer accept it.

This time, Eric did not fly to Los Angeles to meet the upper echelons of Finger Games, but to Europe to meet the upper echelons of Dayak Corporation.
There was a fundamental difference between the two.

He might not have said what it was exactly but it was not a very positive signal to rush around the other higher-ups of Finger Games to summon Eric during the summer rush.

Eric was fundamentally different from Chrétien as the person-in-charge of the China region.

Chrétien was originally one of the core designers in Finger Games, but Eric was originally a high-level executive of Dayak Corporation’s media business.

Dayak Corporation had rejected the person-in-charge of Finger Games’ original China region and parachuted Eric in when he first became the person-in-charge of the Chinese region.

Eric might have to report to the upper echelons of Finger Games in his daily work but he obviously still represented Dayak Corporation.

Eric had a premonition that he might still have a chance to return to Shanghai.
However, even if he returned, it would probably not be the current situation.

Thus, he planned to make a trip to Jingzhou before leaving.
It would be best if he could meet Boss Pei.
If not, he could at least see how Jingzhou looked now.

Tengda’s various industries were expanding rapidly from the discussions online.
They were no longer satisfied with Jingzhou or even Handong Province.
All sorts of physical industries had already taken root in first-tier cities like Beijing and Shanghai.

Even Shanghai had opened branches of Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, Fish-Catching Take-Out, and Deposit Fitness.

In that case, what would it be like in Jingzhou, where Tengda’s headquarters was located?

Eric walked into the high-speed rail station after waving goodbye to Zhao Xuming.

Zhao Xuming got into the car with a melancholic expression.

“Sigh, actually working with Eric is not bad.
At the very least, he would fight to take the blame.”

“I hope you don’t change the person-in-charge.
IOI’s current revenue might not be as good as expected but it is still making money.”

Zhao Xuming sighed.
He knew that he could not say anything about this.
Who knew what the upper echelons of Dayak Corporation were thinking?

…

…

July 9th, Monday…

Pei Qian was still sleeping at 9 AM when his cell phone rang.

He glanced at the caller ID.
It was an unknown number from Shanghai.

Pei Qian picked up his phone.
“Hello?”

A slightly accented foreigner’s voice came from the phone.
“Boss Pei, it’s not easy to get your phone number…”

Pei Qian was stunned for a moment, but then recalled this voice.

Eric!

His voice was not very recognizable, but he was a foreigner after all.
He had an accent, and Pei Qian knew very few foreigners who spoke Mandarin.
Thus, he immediately remembered.

Pei Qian instinctively felt excited when he heard Eric’s voice.

Could it be…?

You want to burn money with me?

Was he here to issue a challenge?

He looked at the date.
It was only July 9th.
There were still three days until the end of July 11th’s summer promotion.
He might only have one tail left, but he would still be welcomed if he was willing to burn money with me!

Pei Qian could not help but smile.
“So it’s you, Brother Eric! Why did you think of calling me today?”

Eric corrected him speechlessly.
“Not today.
I arrived in Jingzhou yesterday.
I’ve been wanting to call you.”

“In the end, I asked a few of Tengda’s employees.
They said that they did not work during the weekend and could not disturb your rest.
They were unwilling to give me your phone number.”

“I didn’t get your number until it was time for work this morning.”

“It’s a good thing that the air tickets I booked are for around 8 PM tonight.
Otherwise, I would have to change my visa just to meet you.”

“I have to take the high-speed rail back to Shanghai at 1 PM.
There are still a few hours.
Boss Pei, can we meet?”

Pei Qian was a little embarrassed.

Look at what happened!

If I had known that you were here yesterday, I would have given up playing games at home to meet you.

Now, there were only a few hours left.
How rushed was that? It was too late to even have a good meal.

“Alright, let’s meet at Ming House.
I’ll treat you to lunch.”

What a pity.
If it was Sunday, he could have eaten at the nameless restaurant.
Eric might not have a huge appetite, but he should not have any problems woofing down a few lobsters.

However, there was no reservation today since it was Monday.
He could only eat at Boss Li’s restaurant.

Pei Qian struggled to get out of bed and wash up even though he was still a little sleepy.
He was going to meet an old friend who was burning money for him after all.

His hair was a little messy.
At first, Pei Qian was hesitant about whether he should wash his hair or something.
However, he decided that it did not matter whether he washed his hair or not since he was going to meet Eric.

He had been waiting the entire day.
It was better to arrive earlier.
