Tycoon: I Have an Unlimited Modifier novel Chapter 540

Chapter 540 -292: There’s a Future with Chairman Qi

“It might not be Chairman Qi’s own money. Maybe it’s a bank loan.”

“Even if it is a loan, that’s still freaking awesome, okay? You really think just anyone can get a loan from a bank like that?!”

“I heard they sold the company for 12 billion. President Cai himself cashed out for nearly 5 billion.”

“Bro, you’re missing the point entirely. Our Chairman Qi did an all-cash acquisition. How badass is that?”

“True. When Mg Group acquired Mobike, they even used a stock swap. Anyway, I’m not planning on jumping ship anymore. I feel like there’s a future following Chairman Qi.”

“Jump ship my ass. President Cai is a genius, no doubt, but he’s too arrogant. He never even showed much respect for President Liu or President Luo.”

“Exactly. We’re just employees; no need to get sentimental about the old bosses. We worked our asses off on Genshin Impact for three years, after all. Seeing how Chairman Qi operates, our year-end bonuses are definitely going to be huge!”

…

The looming threat of employees being poached was easily neutralized by Qi Sheng’s purchase of the headquarters building.

Cai Haoyu, Liu Wei, and Luo Yuhao sat in a teahouse, and none of them looked pleased.

Liu Wei, in particular, looked extremely awkward.

He had originally sworn with complete confidence that Yu Chenxi, his right-hand man, would definitely jump ship and follow them.

But in the end, the man had blocked him directly.

Liu Wei knew exactly what that meant.

“This Chairman Qi is really something. The attitude of many of the old-timers I contacted has become ambiguous.”

“They’ll only jump ship if we increase the cost of poaching them.”

Liu Wei sighed, feeling for the first time that the situation was tricky.

Having been forced to sell their company, the three “brothers” were naturally planning to stage a comeback.

The feeling of powerlessness, of seeing the dawn only to have someone else snatch the prize, made it impossible for them to simply retire in peace.

So, Cai Haoyu put up 2 billion, while Liu Wei and Luo Yuhao each contributed 1 billion.

They founded Time Knot Technology to be the new ‘Miha You’.

But the problem facing them was what kind of new project to launch.

Cai Haoyu was the calmest of the three.

Because in his mind, Genshin Impact was merely a mediocre work.

Only a project like Sword Art Online could fill him with fighting spirit.

Therefore, Cai Haoyu felt that selling Miha You wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

He finally had enough capital to develop the epic project that had been swirling in his mind for so long.

“Old Liu, Old Luo, if you trust me, let’s have our new company focus all its efforts on developing Project ‘PJSH.’ I guarantee this game’s prospects will be no worse than Genshin Impact’s!”

Although Cai Haoyu was the new company’s majority shareholder, he couldn’t just act willfully.

After all, Liu Wei and Luo Yuhao had each invested a billion as well.

The company belonged to the three of them, so for a project to be approved, it naturally needed the consent of the other two partners.

“Old Cai, you’re still not giving up on ‘PJSH’?”

Liu Wei’s brow furrowed. He hadn’t expected Cai Haoyu to be so obsessed with that project.

You could say that the main purpose of developing Genshin Impact was to raise R&D funds for the ‘PJSH’ project in Cai Haoyu’s heart.

It was just that no one had expected Genshin Impact to become such a massive hit, letting Miha You make a fortune.

“Old Liu, we didn’t have money before, so I had to shelve this project. But now we’re all rich, and you two don’t have any suitable projects to develop. Why not make a 3A shooter with me?”

Cai Haoyu did his utmost to persuade his two closest friends.

“Since these domestic employees don’t want to leave, let’s go abroad and recruit top-tier talent. We’ll develop an epoch-making 3A shooter masterpiece for the domestic market.”

“Old Cai, I still think it’s too risky for us to tackle a 3A shooter with our current capabilities.”

Liu Wei had a more cautious personality and felt that going all-in on a single project was too big a risk.

“3A games have always been a weakness for domestic game developers.”
