Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

ction, but he had no idea how to go about achieving the

goal.

He had no other choice but to ask He Desheng.
After all, he was the professional.

Pei Qian remained silent for a moment and asked, “What would you do to make the other investors lose confidence in ‘Top Student, Come Quick’?”

He Desheng was stunned.
Had Boss Pei been thinking about this while he remained silent for so long?

Why did he want to cause the other investors to lose confidence in “Top Student, Come Quick’? Shouldn’t their competitors be thinking about that instead?

He Desheng looked at Boss Pei’s expression.
It looks like… he’s testing me.

He Desheng immediately looked more serious.
He thought that there must have been a hidden meaning behind this deceivingly simple question.

After two minutes, He Desheng still could not figure out the deeper meaning.
Thus, he had no choice but to give a safe answer.
“If it were me, I would keep trying to sell my shares.

“Increasing my shareholding shows my belief in this project.
However, trying to reduce my shareholding would have the opposite effect.
That’s why trying to sell my shares would affect other investors’ confidence.”

Pei Qian nodded.
That’s right! Trying to reduce my shareholding would be a very clear expression of my confidence level: I think this is the most that this project would give me, and I want to run now!

On the other hand, if I keep holding onto my shares, no matter how hard I try to tell others that I don’t believe in the project; no one would believe me!

However… doesn’t that mean that I would have to reap profits?

Even if I don’t sell all of my shares at once but sell them bit by bit, I would still reap profits for sure.

Of course, if I sell a bit at a time, the money I earn would still be considered acceptable.

More importantly, I would be able to shatter the others’ confidence and cause the project to become less popular.
In the end, I would be able to burn more money and incur more losses.

At that thought, Pei Qian made up his mind.
“We’ll sell, then!”

He Desheng was stunned.
Sell now? The project’s doing well.
We can try to earn more from it now, right?

However, seeing Boss Pei’s resolute gaze made He Desheng perk up at once.
There was a wise saying in the investment circle: never try to earn the last cent.

Everyone was seeing a lot of potential in ‘Top Student, Come Quick’ now.
If they sold their shares now, they might not sell at their peak price, but they would earn a lot.

If they continued to wait and the share prices started to fall, others might lose confidence in the project as well.
Then, it would be too late!

He Desheng could not help but feel emotional.
Boss Pei lived up to his name indeed.
Even in such good times, he could think so clearly!

“Boss Pei, I understand! Leave it to me!” He Desheng patted his chest confidently.

February 11th, Friday…

At Zhongdian Chinese Network’s authors’ class…

It was lunchtime.
The atmosphere here was slightly different from before.
Everyone at the table normally spoke as they pleased about anything under the sun.
Many of the topics they touched did not even have anything to do with online literature.

That was to be expected.
Even in their own chat groups, authors only talked about writing occasionally.
Most of the time, they talked about everything else.

However, today was different.

Everyone held onto their phones, seriously reading a novel as they ate their Fish-Catching Take-Out.

“I’ve caught up.”

“Brother Cui’s new novel is really awesome! Nothing can beat it; nothing can beat it.” “That’s right.
Brother Cui’s new book has found the right path.
He always wrote Xuanhuan novels in the past.
Although he wrote well, many people wrote even better than he did.
Now that he has found new material, he has immediately become superior! I’ve never seen anyone write a story set in the city like that!”

“He’s been listed on the new novels chart for a week now.
Ever since he released his book on the eve of Chinese New Year, his figures have been jumping rapidly.
He’s really awesome!”

“It’s a refreshing way of writing, and he’s pinned down the rhythm as well.
We can learn from him!”

“I can tell that even the website is supporting him.
I have a feeling that Brother Cui’s book is going to become very popular.
For all we know, he might break many of the website’s records!”

“He’s been uploading ten thousand words a day.
If he keeps this up, he can probably make the novel pay-to-read by the end of the month.
Then, we’ll know how awesome he really is!”

“Speaking of which, Ming Yu’s book has been improving as well.
I read a few of his readers’ comments.
All of them were saying that his plot has become more well-written recently.”

The writers kept sharing their personal opinions.

Whenever a popular book that had the potential to start a new trend appeared on the website, the writers would study it, discuss it, and try drawing learning points from it.

Cui Geng was not around.
He was in Tengda Games, gathering material.

On the other hand, Ming Yu was there.
He was also reading Cui Geng’s new book, The Butterfly Game, with the others.
When he heard them mention his name, Ming Yu felt emotional.
“That’s right.
I have to admit-learning about the Tengda spirit has really helped me a lot!

“It’s not just me.
Little Chong, Long Ye, and Cong Xin have attended the class on the Tengda spirit as well, right? All of you have seen improvements in your figures, right?”

Little Chong nodded.
“Yes, I’ve been getting more subscriptions.”

Long Ye stroked his beard and said, “My figures are improving, but I’ve also written a satisfying mini-plot recently.
I don’t know if the improving figures can be attributed to the Tengda spirit class.
As for the other aspects.
I’ve been writing more smoothly for sure.”

Without looking up, Cong Xin said, “My figures haven’t changed much, but I think it’s because my plot hasn’t been very well arranged recently.
I’ll make some changes, and then I should see some improvement.”

The other writers looked at them admiringly.

“The class sounds very useful!” “That’s right.
Brother Cui was the first to go, and he was even made a ‘special observer’.
He’s improving so quickly because he can look deep into the Tengda spirit.
Ming Yu, Little Chong, Long Ye, and Cong Xin are all seeing improvements after learning about the Tengda spirit as well! The improvements are not huge, but at least they’re steady!

“It looks like the class is really effective!

“I’m starting to itch.
I’m reserving Monday’s lesson on the Tengda spirit.
Don’t fight me for it, everyone!”

“No way! I want to go, too! Let our skills do the choosing!”
