246: I don't recognize the game I designed.

Qian Ziyong typed back, "I said I'm the lead planner for this game, and I planned it all myself. Do you believe me?"

The other side replied without hesitation, "I don't believe a word you say, you old scoundrel, you're so wicked!"

"If you're the lead planner for this game, I'll eat the table in front of me!"

Qian Ziyong: "..."

No one would believe him if he said it out loud.

He didn't recognize the game he had planned himself.

To prove he was the lead planner for the game, Qian Ziyong pulled out his ID card, took a picture of his name, and sent it over.

He then opened the game "kitchen chaos," found the game production team list, and screenshotted the big words "Lead Planner Qian Ziyong" at the very top, sending it to the person.

The other side: "..."

"Brother, are you serious? Are you really the game's lead planner?"

To prevent the brother on the other side from dying by eating the table, Qian Ziyong told a lie: "No, I was just tricking you!"

After sending it, Qian Ziyong ignored him and stared blankly at the joyful streamer, happily playing the game.

The game was joyful, the audience was joyful, and Qian Ziyong knew that this game would sell very joyfully.

But as the game's lead planner and the owner of the game company, Qian Ziyong was not joyful at all.

Not only was he not joyful, but he was also very sad.

That's right!

"trouble in the kitchen 2" is about to be released!

Sadness X2

Qian Ziyong was almost in tears.

He cautiously opened the company group chat, found Bi Chengwang, and carefully asked, "How much money... did our game company make?"

"The PC version earned about eighty million yuan," Bi Chengwang replied succinctly, "I estimate that it will bring in twenty million yuan in revenue for the company every month from now on."

"The game's revenue will only start to decrease after about a year!"

"If we sell the game at a discount after a year, we can probably earn another twenty million yuan a month for another year!"

Hearing twenty million yuan a month, Qian Ziyong's heart ached.

Bi Chengwang continued, "This is just the income from the PC game version. Our 'kitchen chaos' supports multiple game versions, and other versions can double our earnings."

"The money from the PC version will take some time to receive, but we've already applied for early payment. Given the popularity of our game, we shouldn't have to wait half a year."

"As for the other versions, we've already received the money."

"Now our Maha Game Company can break even, and once 'trouble in the kitchen 2' is released, I believe we'll immediately start making a profit!"

"And we'll make a huge profit, a really huge profit!"

Hearing this bad news, Qian Ziyong became even sadder.

What kind of rotten game, it even developed multiple game versions!

Qian Ziyong opened his phone, searched in the app store, and found that there was even a mobile version.

It's over.

This rotten game is going to be popular everywhere!

What to do?

What to do??

What should he do with all this money?

All along, Qian Ziyong's income and expenses had been balanced.

The money earned from the Hot Pot Restaurant and the supermarket went to Liu Gaoda for milk tea.

And the one billion yuan he had earned before had already been invested in the rotten Qinglin Home project.

Now the game has earned eighty million yuan on PC, and with the mobile version and other platforms combined, it's probably at least another eighty million yuan.

Plus, all game ports combined, it's about forty million yuan every month.

In other words, until this system cycle ends, which is five more months, this rotten game must earn at least three hundred and sixty million yuan!

And this is just the first part; "trouble in the kitchen 2" is about to be launched.

To be safe, by the time the system cycle ends, he will have to spend at least over seven hundred million yuan!

Over seven hundred million yuan!

Qian Ziyong immediately lay on the bed, not wanting to move.

Perhaps he was a bit too pessimistic; after paying taxes, he might not earn that much, but it would still be at least five hundred million yuan!

What should he do with so much money!

When Qian Ziyong closed his eyes now, all he saw was money; money was everywhere.

This money kept chasing him, and he ran desperately forward, but he could never escape.

Carelessly, Qian Ziyong fell into a vast ocean full of money.

The sea wasn't water; it was all money.

It was about to drown him.

Until Qian Ziyong woke up with a start.

Only then did he realize he had a terrible nightmare!

He opened his phone and saw the private message with Bi Chengwang.

It wasn't a dream after all.

Qian Ziyong was on the verge of tears.

Qian Ziyong still couldn't believe he had made so much money, so he opened the game company's ledger.

He discovered an even crueler truth.

The income Bi Chengwang reported to him was actually after tax!

Oh my goodness, does a game make that much money?

"That's not right!"

"Even if my game is fun, it shouldn't have become popular so quickly?"

"I didn't do any promotion for it, so even if it were to become popular, it shouldn't have become popular this fast!"

Qian Ziyong was completely baffled.

He opened the game company's ledger online and examined it carefully.

All companies under Feihuang had their ledgers publicly accessible, visible to all employees.

Both income and expenditure were clearly traceable.

The company's finance department kept records directly online.

Qian Ziyong saw that in the estimated income, the first money came from abroad, from the United States.

Qian Ziyong was curious.

He hadn't promoted it domestically, let alone abroad.

Domestically, many people knew Feihuang, and because of Feihuang, the game would become known.

Qian Ziyong could understand that.

But abroad, they had no foundation whatsoever, so why was it popular?

Qian Ziyong messaged Bi Chengwang: "Why is our game so popular abroad?"

Upon receiving Qian Ziyong's message, Bi Chengwang sent Qian Ziyong a foreign news article, thoughtfully translated for him using translation software.

After reading the news, Qian Ziyong finally learned that a foreign game company called Youth Games Company had actually promoted them.

And the promotion was very grand, inviting many reporters.

Qian Ziyong was even more confused!

Their Maha Game Company and Youth Games Company weren't relatives, so why would the other party promote him?

Not only did they promote it, but they also thoughtfully used their own company's game as a foil.

"Boss, are you the illegitimate child of that game company?" Bi Chengwang joked.

Qian Ziyong: "..."

"I'm telling you, I don't know what's going on with them? Why are they so desperately promoting me, do you believe me?"

Bi Chengwang nodded: "I believe you, but the other employees of the company might not!"

Qian Ziyong was a bit speechless and said seriously, "Do you have the contact information of that company's person in charge?"

"I want to ask them what exactly they want to do!"

Qian Ziyong didn't understand why two game companies, which were competitors, would disadvantage themselves by promoting his game.

Could it be that the other party also had a money-losing system?

What kind of rotten game company is this, why are they meddling with his money-losing plan when they have nothing better to do?

Qian Ziyong was indignant!

Bi Chengwang said, "Their supervisor did call, wanting to contact you!"

"But I knew you were busy, Boss, so I politely declined for you."

"I'll send you his number now!"
