Chapter 1435: A Powerful New Energetic Car Company?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Of course, this difficulty did not only come from Prof Kong’s serious attitude and training, but also from all aspects of attention.
Boss Pei’s thesis was fragmented? It made Prof Kong bald?
This would be made into a joke that would spread online!
What’s more, Pei Qian felt very guilty. Strictly speaking, Old Ma should have been implicated by him accidentally after all. That was why he was dragged onto the boat.
Pei Qian could not help but think that if he had not created Tengda, he would not have created such a huge industry. If the scale had not been so big, his graduation thesis would not have attracted the attention of the school. Then, he and Old Ma would not have been assigned to Old Kong.
In that case, he and Old Ma should be playing happily now. They just had to float past 60 marks for their graduation thesis like usual exams.
Thus, Pei Qian was a little embarrassed to tell Ma Yang about this nightmare.
However, Pei Qian had changed his mind now.
Why should he be the only one under pressure?
He had to ask Old Ma to share the pressure. Good brother should not be so polite with each other!
At that thought, Pei Qian cleared his throat and said, “Old Ma, do you know why I’m under so much pressure? Teacher Zhang Wei said that both of us are under Prof Kong! How can I not panic if Prof Kong personally supervises the graduation thesis?”
“Think about it. At your level, what would happen if Prof Kong sees your thesis?”
Ma Yang looked elated. “Huh? Really? You mean my thesis can be confirmed by Prof Kong?”
“That’s great, Brother Qian. I knew I was with the right person! You actually managed to establish a relationship with Prof Kong. That’s awesome!”
“I wonder which professor would dare to block my thesis with Prof Kong around! I’ll make him feel like he has a mountain full of wisdom!”
Pei Qian froze as question marks floated above his head.
?
No, Old Ma, is there something wrong with your thinking?
Was that what I meant?
Why are you so confident that your thesis will definitely be recognized by Prof Kong! Why did you think that no one would dare to block your thesis?
Ridiculous!
Indeed, no matter what problems he faced, Old Ma had no idea what to do.
Sigh, I’m used to it. I’m used to it.
Pei Qian felt that he had made a mistake. Not only did Old Ma not help him to share his pressure, but he also increased his pressure.
He could only change the topic. “So, do you have a general direction for your thesis?”
Old Ma answered confidently, “No!”
Pei Qian was speechless. “Why are you so calm then!”
Ma Yang said, “That’s because I suddenly thought it through. Brother Qian, I can cozy up to you! Look, Tengda has already achieved so much success in the cultural field. What does that mean? It means that you’re very confident!”
“As long as you bring out the power you have in the cultural industry, wouldn’t it be easy for you to write a graduation thesis?”
“When the time comes, I just have to follow behind you and choose a subtle angle to study it, right?”
“Therefore, at the end of the day, you have to work hard, Brother Qian!”
Pei Qian was stunned. “Huh?”
So you are calm because of me?
On further thought, Old Ma’s words made sense.
What was Tengda like in the eyes of outsiders? It had opened up many cultural industries such as novels, movies, animations, games, and so on. There were domestic games that had a lot of discussion, and outstanding movies that had swept the box office in the world.
These successes could be said to be created by Boss Pei!
Huang Sibo, Zhu Xiaoce, Hu Xianbin, Cui Geng… They were all tools under Boss Pei.
What was there to worry about graduation thesis if he could achieve such huge success in the world and at the cutting edge of culture? He could just take out a project and write it simply.
It made so much sense!
However, Pei Qian knew very well that the success of these projects had nothing to do with him!
He even wanted to know how these projects became popular!
Pei Qian researched all of the projects at home last weekend, but he could not find any leads, much less back then.
One could say that Ma Yang’s confidence came from his trust in Pei Qian.
Pei Qian was not confident because he did not trust himself…
This formed a magical and confusing closed loop. Pei Qian deeply realized that the clown was himself.
Even his good brother Old Ma could not solve his problems this time. Instead, he was creating pressure for himself. It could be seen that the challenge of this graduation thesis was far better than any previous settlement.
This was too difficult!
At that moment, Pei Qian even thought about throwing the thesis directly to Assistant Xin.
However, he quickly dismissed this idea.
No, he had to have a bottom line.
How could Boss Pei’s graduation thesis be written on his behalf? He might as well hand in his blank script!
At the very least, people would think that Boss Pei was too awesome and would not write such a thesis.
Thus, he had to complete the thesis on his own!
Even if it was rubbish, it would be nothing more than letting Kong Lao lose a few more strands of hair. Then, he would visit him and give him some supplements.
Pei Qian sighed silently and continued to bury his head in a pile of Tengda’s successful projects, looking for possible entry points in the thesis.

January 29th, Tuesday…
In the conference room of Slow Movement Studio.
“The development of the VR version of ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ is progressing steadily. There’s no need to worry. It should be released next month.”
“As for the relevant information about Slow Movement Studio’s realistic service department, it’s all here. You can take it back and study it slowly.”
Lin Wan handed a document to Ye Zhizhou as she spoke.
Ye Zhizhou took it and said, “Thank you.”
Lin Wan smiled. “You’re too polite. No matter where I am, I will always be a member of Shang Yang Games.”
Ye Zhizhou flipped through the document casually and found that it summarized Slow Movement Studio’s current work content and current situation in the real service department.
After the real estate intermediary simulator became popular, it began to gradually move closer to an independent rental platform. Slow Movement Studio established the real service department. The first task was to push the game ‘Real Estate Agent Simulator’ into reality.
On the surface, it looked like what many real estate companies were doing. However, there were obvious differences in many details.
Other real estate intermediary companies were also working hard to develop their own application software to constantly fill up the house sources above. However, in terms of technical strength, they were far from Slow Movement Studio.
He could not blame them. After all, their development team was only the development team of the Internet APP, and Slow Movement Studio’s development team was the proper VR game development team!
The functions of these real estate intermediary apps, ‘Real Estate Agent Simulator’, and ‘Real Estate Agent Simulator’ had functions, these APPs might not have them!
What’s more, both parties’ profit models and final goals were completely different.
For real estate intermediary companies, earning platform fees and intermediary fees were their only way of making profits. Thus, this APP was, to put it bluntly, a simple money-making tool. Then, all of the functions of this APP naturally had to serve profits.
This was not difficult to explain why these real estate intermediary companies turned a blind eye to the fake houses on the platform. It was also not difficult to understand why no matter how these APPs were optimized, they only improved and not fundamentally changed.
That was because real estate companies were counting on it to make money!
Of course, it was necessary to optimize the APP, but these companies would carefully calculate the price-quality ratio. If the investment was too big and the risk was too high but the improvement was not big, it would be impossible for such an APP modification plan to be passed.
However, that was not the case for Slow Movement Studio. Just like the name of the ‘realistic service department’, this department was not Slow Movement Studio’s main source of profits. It was just a supplement.
Slow Movement Studio’s main profit came from the sales of the game and Doubt VR glasses, as well as the derivative value that might be produced in the future. The existence of the real service department was to serve players better.
Thus, Slow Movement Studio could achieve a blow to the fake house. It could also achieve continuous iteration and development of the real estate intermediary simulator because there were other charging points that were continuously transfusing blood.
This made the Real Estate Agent Simulator enter a positive cycle. The snowball was getting bigger and bigger. It was constantly poaching users from other real estate intermediary companies. More and more people were buying games and VR glasses. This money was supporting the realistic service department to do better…
Now, the development speed of the real estate agent simulator had far exceeded Lin Wan’s estimates, the development would continue.
Thus, Lin Wan had agreed to open a real service department for Shang Yang Games with both hands. After all, this was a successful model that Slow Movement Studio had already verified.
Perhaps in the future, the real estate agent simulator and Safe and Civilized Driving would further deepen cooperation and link up?
Of course, that would take a long time. After all, there were still many follow-up functions to be done for the two games. He could only consider deepening the cooperation after the expansion functions of the two games themselves were completed.
Ye Zhizhou scanned the document briefly and prepared to study it closely.
However, he had other problems before that.
“That’s right, there’s another problem. ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ wants to work with relatively powerful new energy car companies in the country. I don’t know much about these new energy car companies. Have you recommended them?”
Lin Wan pondered for a moment. “How capable… must a new energy car company be?”
Ye Zhizhou answered, “The stronger the better. Our skills, market share, and brand value are all indispensable.”
If he wanted to introduce a catfish like the Hengda driving school to drive other car companies into Safe and Civilized Driving, this catfish would not be weak and would not be able to cause much of a stir.
Lin Wan frowned. “The technology level, market share, and brand value must be indispensable… Is there really such a new energy car company in the country…”
“Eh? I got it!”
“There might not be a single car company, but if the two companies were to combine, it would barely be considered there!”
Ye Zhizhou looked confused. “Huh?”
Lin Wan explained, “There was an automatic driving cooperation with between Shenhua and Stamford five years ago. However, the automatic driving technology had never been too mature, so it had always been in a closed development stage. Very few people knew about it.”
“However, I heard that the automatic driving technology has matured recently. There is also a mass-produced car model to be released.”
“Stamford has technology and a certain market share, while Shenhua has brand value.. If you add it all up, it can meet your requirements.”
