Chapter 960: First Success Of The Publicity Plan!

Hu Xianbin continued, beaming with joy. “I heard from Jiang Yuan that even though Shen Renjie’s research direction was mainly in the conventional application of artificial intelligence, it had also involved some research on game AI. There was a certain amount of technical reserves. However, the focus of the research was not on this side, so many of the research results were half set aside.”

“Who would have thought that there would be results this time? This is a pleasant surprise!”

“According to Jiang Yuan, the artificial intelligence AI algorithm developed by the Nag laboratory this time is very advanced. It can be directly used in Mission and Choice!”

“I’ve already spoken to the other side. There’s still half a month until the official release of the game. As long as we update the new AI, we’ll definitely be able to make up for the last shortcomings and turn Mission and Choice into a perfect game!”

Hu Xianbin’s eyes were no longer filled with excitement. Instead, they were filled with heartfelt admiration!

Before this, he had only heard that Boss Pei had bought over a company that researched artificial intelligence technology and established an artificial intelligence laboratory that belonged to Otto Technologies. However, he had no idea what this laboratory was for or what its research results were.

Now, he knew that Boss Pei had already seen that the AI in Mission and Choice was not mature enough. That was why he had created this artificial intelligence laboratory. On the surface, it was for Otto Technologies, but in fact, it was for Mission and Choice!

It had to be said that Boss Pei was really good at showing off. Others were only showing off their opponents. Boss Pei was no longer satisfied with only showing off his opponents. He had even made his teammates faint!

Pei Qian blinked, temporarily stunned.

What the hell?

My fault again?

Pei Qian had even asked Shen Renjie to help him get rid of a correct answer when he was building the Nag laboratory. He thought to himself that it would take at least a few months to produce results.

However, he did not expect the system reward to produce results within a week!

What’s more, it was released at the end of the six months’ period!

He was fooled big time!

Pei Qian could not help but feel speechless.

He heaved a sigh of relief and calmed himself down. Then, he stood up. “I’ll get going first.”

Hu Xianbin quickly stood up as well. “Alright, Boss Pei! I’ll definitely cooperate with Nag laboratory to change the AI before the game is released. I’ll make up for the last shortcoming and have a good clash with ‘Fantasy Battle’!”

Pei Qian left Tengda Games without looking back. His back view was indescribably miserable.

Hu Xianbin watched Boss Pei leave and could not help but feel emotional.

“Why does Boss Pei look so lonely?”

“Could this be the legendary... loneliness of invincibility?”

Hu Xianbin regained his energy and returned to work confidently.

Suddenly, he thought of a problem.

“Boss Pei said that the release date of the game would be on the 14th of next month. He also said that this matter had to be kept a secret and not be mentioned to anyone.”

“Then... should I inform the marketing department?”

“However, so far, none of the promotional plans seem to be related to the release date of the game. I don’t think they need to know about this.”

“What’s more, Boss Pei told me to keep it a secret. I don’t think I should tell him.”

“Boss Pei must be very clear about the game’s publicity plan. If he felt the need to tell the Advertising and marketing department, he would definitely say it himself. I don’t have to say anything.”

“Yes, I should just do my job well.”

Hu Xianbin did not think much about it. He had Boss Pei to back him up anyway. Nothing would go wrong.

Thus, he quickly forgot about this episode and continued working.

...

...

March 30th, Friday...

Pei Qian was looking at the work reports of the various departments in the office. He looked like he had nothing to live for.

He had not fully recovered from yesterday’s huge blow.

Who could he blame?

‘Mission and Choice’ was something he wanted to develop. He was the one who requested for the construction of the Nag artificial intelligence laboratory. While he was not directly involved in this research direction, it was indeed related to him.

The strange system did not make it clear?

It did not make sense... Strictly speaking, the system did not use any misleading words. The time limit and the notifications after the technological breakthrough were very clear.

It seemed like the biggest blame was on himself...

Who asked him to misunderstand the system?

That was the most unbearable.

Thus, Pei Qian was dealt a huge blow. For the past two days, the big television at home did not appeal to him and he was in no mood to play games.

He could only go to the office to look through the work reports submitted by various departments and look for good news that could make him happy. Only then could he barely maintain his life.

Knock, knock.

Someone knocked on the office door.

Pei Qian looked up and was surprised to see Meng Chang.

However, Pei Qian immediately recalled that today was March 30th, Friday, the last working day of the month. He should calculate Meng Chang’s commission based on his performance this month.

Pei Qian opened his laptop and sent the analysis report.

Pei Qian had not been in a good mood for the past two days, so he had not opened it previously. However, based on Meng Chang’s expression, the results this time... seemed pretty good?

He opened the analysis report and read it carefully.

As he read, Pei Qian’s brows gradually relaxed.

The situation was indeed not bad!

The analysis report was mainly based on the amount of money and resources invested by the advertising department and the actual publicity effect of the game ‘Mission and Choice’ to determine the commission.

The better the publicity, the higher the commission.

Meng Chang obviously did very well this time. His commission was actually 1,500 yuan.

There was almost no publicity for Mission and Choice, but the problem was that the money spent was too little, so the commission was relatively low.

The report did not detail how Meng Chang did it because the relevant personnel were only responsible for evaluating the investment and effect of the publicity and determining a commission figure. The work content did not include evaluating Meng Chang’s publicity plan.

It was fine as long as Meng Chang’s publicity plan did not violate the rules.

Pei Qian finally smiled in relief.

Fortunately, there was finally good news. He could take a breather!

However, at the same time, he was also curious about Meng Chang’s specific publicity plan.

“You did not spend much money but the publicity was pretty bad. It was very good!”

“How did you do it?”

Pei Qian handed the laptop to Meng Chang and asked.

Meng Chang reached out to take the laptop. When he saw the commission of 1,500 yuan written on it, he revealed a happy expression.

However, he did not answer Pei Qian’s question immediately. Instead, he remained silent for a moment. “Boss Pei, can I... not answer?”

Pei Qian pondered for a moment. “Alright.”

In fact, Pei Qian could ask the staff who evaluated Meng Chang’s publicity plan or the other employees of the marketing department. He would immediately know what exactly Meng Chang’s publicity plan was.

However, after some thought, Pei Qian decided not to ask since Meng Chang was unwilling to tell him.

That was because Pei Qian knew that he had an ‘observer effect’. Many things would change if he took note of them even slightly.

Take this publicity plan for example. Perhaps, if he asked, this publicity plan that could have incurred a huge loss would suddenly fail?

What’s more, once Pei Qian knew the details of the publicity plan, he might be tempted to give them some pointers. At that time, he might destroy the plan.

This had happened many times before.

Therefore, since Meng Chang was unwilling to say it, it was better not to ask. In any case, Meng Chang had already gotten his commission and spent the publicity funds. He would only continue this process next month to increase his spending.

Pei Qian did not care about the process. He only cared about the results. As long as Meng Chang could fulfill his requirements, that would be enough.

As for the specific plan, was it important?

At that moment, Meng Chang was both happy and suspicious.

He was happy because his plan was going well!

Meng Chang’s idea was to stuff the game, Mission and Choice, into the “classic domestically-produced collection” and then advertise it crazily. Th1s chapter is updated by n)ovel/\bin/\

The publicity budget was spent on the compilation, which was naturally equivalent to spending it on Mission and Choice. However, as long as it was hidden deep enough and was discovered late enough, the publicity would not have any effect. That way, Meng Chang could happily get monthly commissions.

Meng Chang did not invest too much money in publicity this month. He only made a small fuss and tested the waters. He mainly wanted to test if this plan was feasible and if it would be exposed in advance.

If he invested a huge sum of money all of a sudden and exposed it in advance, wouldn’t all his previous efforts be wasted?

After earning 1,500 yuan this month, he had finally changed the awkward history of raising it from zero. Now that he had confirmed that this plan was feasible, he could spend as much money and money as he could to advertise to Boss Pei next month and get a full commission!

Meng Chang pondered. Since the game was released on May 1st, it wouldn’t be overboard to get a full commission in April, right?

The reason why he was so suspicious was because he was afraid that Boss Pei would secretly play tricks on him after he told Boss Pei about this plan. That would make all his previous efforts go to waste.

Not only was Boss Pei eccentric, but he also worked his bad intentions silently. Pei Qian had to be wary of him.

Of course, Meng Chang also knew that even if he did not say it, Boss Pei had many other ways to find out. Therefore, he did not use all his publicity methods this month but held back.

If Boss Pei guessed all of these methods, Meng Chang would admit defeat. However, if Boss Pei did not guess it... Sorry, he would get 100,000 yuan commission!

Both of them had their own ulterior motives and neither could guess the other’s exact thoughts.

However, Pei Qian felt that this was not a big problem. As long as both of them had the same goal, that would be enough.

Meng Chang said, “Boss Pei, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go back and continue preparing the publicity plan for next month.”

Pei Qian nodded. “Okay, good luck!”

He sounded extremely sincere, but Meng Chang obviously didn’t believe him.

Meng Chang left Boss Pei’s office and secretly made up his mind.

“Hmph, I’ve been tricked by you several times. I don’t believe you can win every time!”

“I must get back at you this time and get a full commission!”
