(Adapted from the Qidian novel "Losing
Money to Be a Tycoon" by Qingshan Quzui)

3
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:21,480
Hello.

4
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:22,040
Finally here.

5
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,280
Why are airports located
so far away these days?

6
00:01:24,377 --> 00:01:25,590
I fell asleep on the way here.

7
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,040
I'll sleep more on the plane.

8
00:01:27,133 --> 00:01:28,420
We've still got a long way to go.

9
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,400
It's been a long time
since I traveled this far.

10
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,120
Still, you're more
experienced than I am.

11
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:36,950
Welcome aboard.

12
00:01:36,950 --> 00:01:38,310
Nice outfit you've got there.

13
00:01:38,310 --> 00:01:39,840
I bought it on my last trip.

14
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,400
Wei, is that a new model?

15
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:42,480
Let me take a look.

16
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:43,280
Mr. Pei.

17
00:01:43,822 --> 00:01:45,419
Hurry up.

18
00:01:45,420 --> 00:01:47,480
You've got the least luggage
and you're still slow.

19
00:01:47,488 --> 00:01:48,120
Mr. Pei.

20
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:50,280
Hurry up, Mr. Pei.

21
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:51,560
Yeah, hurry.

22
00:01:58,020 --> 00:02:07,220
(Stay true to our mission,
succeed for the greater good.)

23
00:02:11,750 --> 00:02:12,240
(Recently,)

24
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:13,590
(Tengda Group invested heavily)

25
00:02:13,590 --> 00:02:15,333
(to acquire a vineyard
in Burgundy, France,)

26
00:02:15,377 --> 00:02:17,000
(covering 1.3 hectares.)

27
00:02:17,022 --> 00:02:19,022
(The appellation
where the vineyard is located)

28
00:02:19,044 --> 00:02:22,240
(has produced numerous wines,
all awarded Grand Cru status.)

29
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:22,800
(This means)

30
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,240
(that beyond gaming, real estate,)

31
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,444
(food and beverage, film and television,
and logistics,)

32
00:02:26,466 --> 00:02:28,400
(Tengda is once again exploring
a new field.)

33
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,360
(Tengda's founder, Mr. Pei Qian,)

34
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,240
(independently developed
his first game many years ago)

35
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,280
(in the bedroom
of his shabby rental apartment.)

36
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,150
(It became a smash hit upon release,)

37
00:02:37,150 --> 00:02:39,960
(leading Tengda to its first step
toward success.)

38
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:40,955
(In the eyes of others,)

39
00:02:40,977 --> 00:02:42,700
(Pei Qian achieved success
at a young age)

40
00:02:42,700 --> 00:02:43,520
(and became a legend.)

41
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:44,680
Try this. It's good.

42
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:45,560
Thanks.

43
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:46,150
Qian.

44
00:02:46,310 --> 00:02:48,840
Tang told me. That magazine
contacted you over thirty times,

45
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:49,750
and you didn't go once.

46
00:02:49,750 --> 00:02:50,870
Skipping interviews is one thing,

47
00:02:50,870 --> 00:02:52,030
but you should attend the forum.

48
00:02:52,030 --> 00:02:53,355
At least show them some courtesy.

49
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:55,750
You...

50
00:03:01,030 --> 00:03:01,590
Qian.

51
00:03:03,030 --> 00:03:03,840
Mr. Pei.

52
00:03:07,870 --> 00:03:08,680
Mr. Pei.

53
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,750
(The man at the helm, Mr. Pei Qian,)

54
00:03:10,750 --> 00:03:11,750
(is extremely low-key,)

55
00:03:11,750 --> 00:03:13,150
(with unpredictable behavior,)

56
00:03:13,150 --> 00:03:14,150
(making Tengda)

57
00:03:14,150 --> 00:03:17,590
(a one-of-a-kind case
in local business history.)

58
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:19,840
(That's right.)

59
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:20,960
(I'm Pei Qian.)

60
00:03:21,130 --> 00:03:23,870
(The founder of the Tengda Group
that everyone's talking about.)

61
00:03:23,870 --> 00:03:26,520
(The eternal honorary chairman
in my employees' hearts.)

62
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,960
(Outsiders always praise me
for my early success.)

63
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,400
(But I feel)

64
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,590
(this is all just a dream.)

65
00:03:33,590 --> 00:03:35,150

(began eight years ago.)

67
00:03:42,430 --> 00:03:45,280
(2022)

68
00:03:49,870 --> 00:03:50,750
Pei Qian,

69
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,400
how many years have you been at Fuhui?

70
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:53,120
I...

71
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,340
I remember he joined
right after graduating from college.

72
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,240
(Fuhui)
Time really flies.

73
00:03:57,710 --> 00:03:58,960
Pei Qian's

74
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,310
thinking is very active,

75
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,280
but sometimes it's too active.

76
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,000
And that's not necessarily a good thing.

77
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,650
Fuhui has been established
for many years.

78
00:04:05,650 --> 00:04:06,590
From time to time,

79
00:04:06,590 --> 00:04:08,520
there will naturally be internal issues.

80
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,470
That's perfectly normal.

81
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,310
I've read what you wrote here.

82
00:04:13,310 --> 00:04:15,030
You're entitled to your own views,

83
00:04:15,030 --> 00:04:16,480
but circulating them in writing

84
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,510
is far too serious.

85
00:04:18,910 --> 00:04:19,730
How about

86
00:04:19,730 --> 00:04:22,240
taking a break at home?

87
00:04:22,310 --> 00:04:23,830
Take some time to readjust.

88
00:04:28,950 --> 00:04:30,190
I understand.

89
00:04:30,950 --> 00:04:33,390
So in this situation,

90
00:04:33,933 --> 00:04:35,270
am I getting severance pay?

91
00:04:36,830 --> 00:04:39,630
In this situation...

92
00:04:41,070 --> 00:04:41,950
No compensation.

93
00:04:46,270 --> 00:04:48,190
Then can I get my things back?

95
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,720

Hey, just because you don't like it,
doesn't mean you can bully it.

101
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:38,600
Look at you, being all kind.

102
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:39,950
You can barely feed yourself,

103
00:05:39,950 --> 00:05:41,070
and you're playing saint?

00:05:45,510 --> 00:05:46,120

105
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:47,480
Come here, kitty!

106
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:52,870
You poor thing.

107
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,120
How about I take you home?

108
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:02,510

Mr. Sima.

111
00:06:09,830 --> 00:06:12,070
Are you sure this is the person
you're looking for?

112
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,240
What's so special about him?

Fuhui Job-Security Survival Manual?

114
00:06:24,510 --> 00:06:26,480
Isn't it basically a rant list?

115
00:06:27,510 --> 00:06:29,070
But honestly, Fuhui these days

116
00:06:29,070 --> 00:06:30,950
doesn't have anything new either.

117
00:06:31,950 --> 00:06:35,270
And are we at Jinghong any better?

(You've asked me this so many times.)

125
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,270

143
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,440
I mean... it's just a small thing.

144
00:08:54,790 --> 00:08:56,870
You're not going to kill me, are you?

145
00:08:57,790 --> 00:09:00,910
Been watching too many movies, Mr. Pei?

146
00:09:01,670 --> 00:09:02,550
Relax.

147
00:09:03,030 --> 00:09:04,790
Mr. Sima only wants to give you

148
00:09:04,790 --> 00:09:05,910
a new job offer.

149
00:09:07,270 --> 00:09:08,270
Mr. Pei,

150
00:09:08,630 --> 00:09:11,120
I hope you'll accept my investment

151
00:09:11,790 --> 00:09:13,390
and start a company.

152
00:09:16,790 --> 00:09:18,120
What Mr. Sima means is,

153
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,000
this company must launch projects.

154
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,150
We'll settle accounts based on
each project cycle.

155
00:09:22,150 --> 00:09:24,066
If the project makes a profit
during the cycle,

156
00:09:24,066 --> 00:09:26,150
you'll only receive a base salary
of 5,000.

157
00:09:26,150 --> 00:09:28,630
But if the project loses money,
however much it loses,

158
00:09:28,630 --> 00:09:31,030
that amount will be your bonus.

159
00:09:35,790 --> 00:09:37,390
So you're saying

160
00:09:37,630 --> 00:09:39,270
you give me startup capital,

161
00:09:39,270 --> 00:09:40,510
I set up a company,

162
00:09:40,510 --> 00:09:42,510
and if it succeeds, I don't get paid,

163
00:09:42,630 --> 00:09:44,510
but if it loses money,
you pay me instead?

164
00:09:51,790 --> 00:09:53,720
(Police)
You know what I ran into today?

165
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,440
Some old guy actually

166
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,150
rented a private jet,

167
00:09:57,150 --> 00:09:59,000
with a beautiful secretary,

168
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,840
saying he wanted to invest in my company

169
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,840
like some kind of angel investment.

170
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:03,720
Tell me,

171
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:04,960
in this world...

172
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:06,200
That's her.

173
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,250
- How could anything that good happen?
- Over here.

174
00:10:11,511 --> 00:10:12,790
Thanks for your cooperation.

175
00:10:12,911 --> 00:10:15,120
Not at all.
Thanks for your hard work, officer.

176
00:10:17,100 --> 00:10:18,790
You're the one who called
the police, right?

177
00:10:20,790 --> 00:10:22,600
We've verified the situation.

178
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,200
What Ms. Xin and Mr. Sima said is true.

179
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:28,840
As for this "angel investment" thing

180
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,320
they said they want to do with you,

181
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:34,600
we don't know the details either.

182
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:35,720
But that's fine.

183
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,720
As long as it's not illegal,

184
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:38,960
there's no problem.

185
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:40,550
Alright. You can go.

186
00:10:44,550 --> 00:10:46,320
A "beautiful secretary," huh?

187
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,120
He's a con artist.

188
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:58,550
So young,

189
00:10:58,550 --> 00:10:59,440
and telling lies.

190
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:00,222
No morals at all.

Sorry about that just now.

204
00:11:41,910 --> 00:11:44,270
So how much are you planning to invest?

205
00:11:51,700 --> 00:11:53,580
(Confidential Cooperation Agreement)

206
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:57,080
One...

207
00:11:57,270 --> 00:11:58,030
Two...

208
00:11:58,270 --> 00:11:59,030
Three...

209
00:11:59,030 --> 00:12:00,030
Four...

210
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:01,030
Five...

211
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:03,440
Six zeros.

212
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:05,360
That much?

213
00:12:05,550 --> 00:12:06,670
For a startup,

214
00:12:06,670 --> 00:12:08,150
that number isn't much.

215
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:09,750
No, Mr. Sima...

216
00:12:09,750 --> 00:12:11,270
This is way too easy.

217
00:12:11,270 --> 00:12:12,550
Startups are startups.

218
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,870
Out of ten projects,
nine will lose money,

219
00:12:14,870 --> 00:12:15,840
and one

220
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,750
will start losing before it even begins.

221
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,960
This job is so good, I'd do it
even without a base salary.

222
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,550
I suggest you take it.

223
00:12:22,870 --> 00:12:26,720
Maybe someday you'll realize
the base salary matters.

224
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,390
All the terms are in there.

225
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,600
Mr. Pei, please read them carefully.

226
00:12:36,555 --> 00:12:38,466
(Confidential Agreement)
One gigabyte of terms...

227
00:12:39,510 --> 00:12:40,870
Chapter 1, Article 1.

228
00:12:40,870 --> 00:12:43,150
You may not, by any means,

229
00:12:43,150 --> 00:12:45,440
disclose or hint at the contents
of this cooperation.

230
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:46,390
Article 2.

231
00:12:46,390 --> 00:12:47,270
Company formation...

232
00:12:47,270 --> 00:12:50,270
Rich people really have
the weirdest hobbies.

233
00:12:50,270 --> 00:12:52,750
Is Sima just so rich
he's bored out of his mind?

234
00:12:55,630 --> 00:12:57,600
Could there be some kind of trap?

235
00:13:00,550 --> 00:13:02,360
The chairman of Jinghong Group

236
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,270
set up this huge scheme for you?

237
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:05,440
What does he want?

238
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,510
At this stage,

239
00:13:09,510 --> 00:13:11,270
if HR does a background check
with Fuhui,

240
00:13:11,270 --> 00:13:12,670
they won't say a single good thing.

241
00:13:12,670 --> 00:13:14,044
I can't get into a big company,

242
00:13:14,044 --> 00:13:15,870
and small companies don't pay enough.

243
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,240
Might as well take this
to get by for now.

244
00:13:19,390 --> 00:13:20,750
Then, when I job-hunt again,

245
00:13:20,750 --> 00:13:23,080
I can add Jinghong to my resume.

246
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,750
Honestly, these terms

247
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:29,750
are pretty reasonable.

248
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,910
No large-scale real estate purchases
or property speculation.

249
00:13:32,910 --> 00:13:34,870
No buying cryptocurrency.

250
00:13:34,870 --> 00:13:36,222
(Law Code)
No illegal activity.

251
00:13:36,266 --> 00:13:38,670
(Supply and Demand)
No disrupting markets.

252
00:13:42,510 --> 00:13:44,270
So basically, everything's banned.

253
00:13:44,270 --> 00:13:46,200
And it says they'll add more terms later

254
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:47,360
depending on the situation.

255
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,390
And the final approval for every project

256
00:13:49,390 --> 00:13:51,600
lies with Mr. Sima and Ms. Xin.

257
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,670
That means we have zero autonomy.

258
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,270
But did you notice?

259
00:13:55,270 --> 00:13:57,150
There's no penalty
for breach of contract.

260
00:13:57,150 --> 00:13:59,270
So for us, there's no downside at all.

261
00:14:00,630 --> 00:14:01,720
True.

262
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,840
But anything that would lose money fast
is off-limits.

263
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,480
We can't do charity donations,

264
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,360
and we can't invest in stocks.

265
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:09,960
Then what can we do?

266
00:14:10,670 --> 00:14:11,670
Pagers.

267
00:14:11,670 --> 00:14:13,200
Who even knows what a pager is anymore?

268
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:14,200
Guaranteed losses.

269
00:14:15,390 --> 00:14:16,600
The terms say

270
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:17,840
the industry we go into

271
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,750
must benefit market development,

272
00:14:19,750 --> 00:14:21,600
and it has to be profitable.

273
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:22,800
How am I supposed to tell them

274
00:14:22,866 --> 00:14:24,670
pagers can be profitable?

275
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:27,360
Then do art.

276
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,440
Price our self-portraits at one million.

277
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:30,733
Who's going to buy that?

278
00:14:31,910 --> 00:14:33,390
The terms say

279
00:14:33,390 --> 00:14:34,150
the company may not

280
00:14:34,150 --> 00:14:35,910
pay far above market value

281
00:14:35,910 --> 00:14:37,750
to purchase production materials,

282
00:14:37,750 --> 00:14:39,510
rent venues, hire staff, and so on.

283
00:14:39,510 --> 00:14:40,720
Bike-sharing?

284
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:41,390
Not allowed.

285
00:14:41,390 --> 00:14:42,630
A farm?

286
00:14:42,630 --> 00:14:43,360
Not allowed.

287
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:44,260
(Insurance Policy)
Insurance?

288
00:14:44,266 --> 00:14:44,909
Not allowed.

289
00:14:44,910 --> 00:14:45,644
A car dealership?

290
00:14:45,666 --> 00:14:46,840
Not allowed.

291
00:14:47,870 --> 00:14:49,150
Let's start with games.

292
00:14:49,270 --> 00:14:50,480
This is what I do.

293
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,270
I know what kind of games
can lose money.

294
00:14:52,270 --> 00:14:53,960
If we lose money in other businesses,

295
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:55,910
we'd have to sell off fixed assets.

296
00:14:55,910 --> 00:14:56,750
But games?

297
00:14:56,750 --> 00:14:59,270
It's just a bunch of code
that's worth nothing.

298
00:14:59,270 --> 00:15:00,480
A total loss.

299
00:15:01,270 --> 00:15:03,200
Pull this one job, take the loss,
and walk away.

300
00:15:03,630 --> 00:15:06,080
(Pay Slip)
Worst case, I get a 5,000 base salary.

301
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,870
If I win the bet, I'm set for life.

302
00:15:15,340 --> 00:15:16,580
(Confidential Agreement)

303
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:17,720
I've decided.

304
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:19,240
I'm making a game.

305
00:15:22,550 --> 00:15:24,960
Since you've decided
to start with games,

306
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,240
then I wish you success

307
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:30,390
in losing your way to the top.

308
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:33,960
Then, Mr. Pei,

309
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:35,790
please sign and leave your fingerprint.

310
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,630
Mr. Sima has assigned me
to be involved throughout.

311
00:15:39,630 --> 00:15:41,150
From now on, I'll be transferred

312
00:15:41,150 --> 00:15:43,480
(Party B: Pei Qian)
from Jinghong Group to your startup

313
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,000
as your special assistant.

314
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:45,960
Everything you do,

315
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,200
I will report to Mr. Sima in real time.

316
00:15:48,390 --> 00:15:49,510
All major decisions

317
00:15:49,510 --> 00:15:51,320
require our approval before you proceed.

318
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:52,660
(Party B: Pei Qian)

319
00:15:54,550 --> 00:15:55,550
All signed.

320
00:15:55,550 --> 00:15:57,840
Then you can start thinking

321
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,390
about your new company's name.

322
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:03,720
Wait.

323
00:16:06,620 --> 00:16:09,020
(Confidential Cooperation Agreement)

324
00:16:10,260 --> 00:16:11,060
(Jinghong Group)

325
00:16:13,540 --> 00:16:16,940
(Tengda)

326
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:18,390
We'll call it Tengda.

327
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,510
"Flying High to Prosperity."

328
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,440
(May Tengda crash and burn fast!)

329
00:16:30,270 --> 00:16:33,120
Today is Tengda's first day.

330
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:34,600
You've got such a "lucky" color.

331
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:35,960
I'll call you Yintang.

332
00:16:39,270 --> 00:16:40,000
Qian.

333
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,480
This is the cat you messaged me about
on WeChat?

334
00:16:43,244 --> 00:16:44,440
I was only home for two days,

335
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,360
and it already feels bigger
than in the photos.

336
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,120
Yintang, this is Uncle Ma.

337
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,200
From now on, he'll raise you with me.

338
00:16:52,270 --> 00:16:53,390
Its name is Yintang?

339
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,910
Well, it's certainly black.

340
00:16:56,450 --> 00:16:57,520
Ma Yang!

341
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,200
Where are you?
My hands are dying here!

342
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:00,960
Are you healing under the tower?

343
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:01,550
Fight!

344
00:17:01,550 --> 00:17:02,200
No...

345
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:03,840
No, Ma Yang!

346
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:04,866
Why'd you push him back?

347
00:17:04,888 --> 00:17:05,790
He's got his ult!

348
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,030
Why'd they go quiet?

349
00:17:10,030 --> 00:17:11,533
I feel like I'm about to get flamed.

350
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:12,880
They rage-quit early.

351
00:17:13,750 --> 00:17:15,000
Classic you.

352
00:17:16,750 --> 00:17:17,750
Let me play with it.

353
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,000
Yintang.

354
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,200
You can't call me "Uncle Ma."

355
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,110
You have to call me "Grandpa Ma."

356
00:17:26,110 --> 00:17:27,920
I'm older than your dad.

357
00:17:29,270 --> 00:17:31,200
Let's see whose hair is darker.

358
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:33,110
Whose hair is darker?

359
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,720
Your hair is darker than mine.

360
00:17:38,110 --> 00:17:39,920
Qian, did you bathe him?

361
00:17:40,120 --> 00:17:41,240
(Ma Yang)
(My best buddy.)

362
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:42,550
(Manager of a fruit stall.)

363
00:17:42,550 --> 00:17:44,480
(A daytime dreamer, Ma Yang.)

364
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,480
(A "genius" who's achieved nothing)

365
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:47,400
(for years.)

366
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,400
Number one, hold that lane!

367
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:50,400
Come back!

368
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:54,920
You guys are terrible.

369
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:56,240
Someone here has died eight times!

370
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:56,960
Who is that?

371
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,000
It's you, Ma Yang.

372
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:00,750
I'm done.

373
00:18:02,500 --> 00:18:04,620
♪Upon my hill♪

374
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:05,750
Hey.

375
00:18:06,510 --> 00:18:08,400
My nephew caused trouble again today.

376
00:18:08,955 --> 00:18:11,440
This time it wasn't forgetting
to display the payment QR code.

377
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:12,977
The customer wanted him to round down,

378
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,400
and out of 150.5,

379
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:15,750
he rounded off 50.5!

380
00:18:17,820 --> 00:18:19,911
And you always pick
the most expensive stuff to eat.

381
00:18:22,270 --> 00:18:23,000
It's fine.

382
00:18:24,350 --> 00:18:26,400
Yeah, it's fine.

383
00:18:27,750 --> 00:18:30,640
(A partner candidate, found.)

384
00:18:32,350 --> 00:18:35,400
Ma Yang, want to start
a business with me?

385
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:36,880
Just help me out.

386
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:38,510
Normally, I wouldn't ask,

387
00:18:38,510 --> 00:18:39,880
but the situation's special.

388
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:40,440
Qian,

389
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:41,830
is something bothering you?

390
00:18:41,830 --> 00:18:42,880
Talk to me.

391
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,440
I quit Fuhui.

392
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,350
Fuhui's such a great company.

393
00:18:48,350 --> 00:18:49,440
You just quit like that?

394
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:50,270
Why?

395
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,000
I actually got pulled into a plan.

396
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,310
They want me to run a company.

397
00:18:55,310 --> 00:18:56,110
You?

398
00:18:56,350 --> 00:18:57,830
Running a company?

399
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,000
I'm really starting a company.

400
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,070
This thing is actually...

401
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,030
Actually, I...

402
00:19:08,030 --> 00:19:09,070
Actually, you

403
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,200
are a rich kid!

404
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:15,440
Qian.

405
00:19:16,270 --> 00:19:18,110
We've known each other for years.

406
00:19:18,110 --> 00:19:19,590
If you really trust me,

407
00:19:19,590 --> 00:19:20,830
then tell me the truth.

408
00:19:20,830 --> 00:19:22,110
Are you a rich kid or not?

409
00:19:23,030 --> 00:19:24,550
- I could tell back then.
- I...

410
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:26,550
When we were kids,

411
00:19:26,550 --> 00:19:28,060
you were always the one buying me food.

412
00:19:28,133 --> 00:19:29,590
When people borrowed money from you,

413
00:19:29,590 --> 00:19:31,110
you never made a big deal out of it.

414
00:19:31,110 --> 00:19:32,440
And at work, even more so.

415
00:19:33,110 --> 00:19:35,310
You dared to speak your mind
to the boss.

416
00:19:35,510 --> 00:19:36,510
Everyone says

417
00:19:36,510 --> 00:19:39,720
Pei Qian is just sticking to his guns.

418
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,270
But only I

419
00:19:41,270 --> 00:19:43,200
figured out your secret.

420
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:44,920
You're actually a rich kid.

421
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,200
So you're done pretending,
and you're coming clean!

422
00:19:47,350 --> 00:19:49,310
I've been waiting for this day.

423
00:19:49,590 --> 00:19:51,160
And you kept it from me all this time.

424
00:19:53,110 --> 00:19:54,310
But it's fine.

425
00:19:54,310 --> 00:19:57,110
Now that you've picked me,

426
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,350
we're like Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang,

427
00:20:00,510 --> 00:20:02,270
like Sherlock Holmes and Watson!

428
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,030
Watson...

429
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:12,030
Classic you.

430
00:20:12,590 --> 00:20:13,920
Anyway,

431
00:20:14,070 --> 00:20:15,750
just don't tell anyone else.

432
00:20:15,750 --> 00:20:17,030
I've got startup funding.

433
00:20:17,350 --> 00:20:18,590
Startup funding?

434
00:20:19,270 --> 00:20:20,510
Do you even have ten grand?

435
00:20:27,030 --> 00:20:28,160
Pei Qian.

436
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:29,830
I may look dumb,

437
00:20:29,830 --> 00:20:31,350
but I'm not actually stupid.

438
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,310
If you're starting a company,

439
00:20:33,310 --> 00:20:34,550
what am I supposed to be?

440
00:20:35,030 --> 00:20:35,790
BA.

441
00:20:35,790 --> 00:20:37,790
BA? Like security guard?

442
00:20:37,830 --> 00:20:40,400
You think I've been living under a rock?

443
00:20:40,550 --> 00:20:41,440
Fine.

444
00:20:41,830 --> 00:20:42,590
General manager.

445
00:20:42,590 --> 00:20:43,790
I want to be the chairman.

446
00:20:43,790 --> 00:20:44,790
General manager.

447
00:20:44,830 --> 00:20:45,830
Vice chairman.

448
00:20:45,830 --> 00:20:47,270
General manager.

449
00:20:47,270 --> 00:20:49,400
Vice chairman, final offer!

450
00:21:06,580 --> 00:21:10,580
(Unity, Efficiency, Win-Win)

451
00:21:10,590 --> 00:21:12,830
Qian, we're working here?

452
00:21:14,270 --> 00:21:15,750
The decor's kind of old-school,

453
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,440
but it's fine. I can live with it.

454
00:21:20,590 --> 00:21:22,030
Is this our office?

455
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:23,160
How do we split it?

456
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,044
You take the bigger side
and put up a divider.

457
00:21:25,066 --> 00:21:26,750
It's a little too open, isn't it?

458
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:28,160
This is Mr. Pei.

459
00:21:28,590 --> 00:21:29,440
Hello, Mr. Pei.

460
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:29,830
Mr. Ma.

461
00:21:29,830 --> 00:21:30,888
I'm Cui from the agency.

462
00:21:31,270 --> 00:21:32,440
Just call me Cui.

463
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,350
High-floor units in
the Shenhua International office tower

464
00:21:35,350 --> 00:21:36,590
rarely become available.

465
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:38,070
Take a look.

466
00:21:40,510 --> 00:21:43,109
The environment is great,
the floor is great,

467
00:21:43,110 --> 00:21:44,270
and the view is great too.

468
00:21:44,270 --> 00:21:45,680
There's only one downside.

469
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:46,920
The rent

470
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:48,270
is a little on the high side.

471
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:50,000
As you can see,

472
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,400
the previous tenant's layout

473
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:53,440
wasn't optimal,

474
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,110
so it only seats fifty-something people.

475
00:21:55,110 --> 00:21:57,400
But with a little adjustment,

476
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,000
it can seat at least seventy.

477
00:22:01,030 --> 00:22:02,350
I think this is great.

478
00:22:04,790 --> 00:22:06,590
You two are in luck.

479
00:22:06,590 --> 00:22:08,830
The last tenant was in debt,
and the boss ran off.

480
00:22:09,030 --> 00:22:09,790
The landlord said

481
00:22:09,790 --> 00:22:12,160
all the office furniture you see here

482
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:13,510
can be used for free.

483
00:22:13,510 --> 00:22:14,110
That's great.

484
00:22:14,350 --> 00:22:15,200
Throw it all out.

485
00:22:17,590 --> 00:22:19,590
This place looks fine.

486
00:22:19,590 --> 00:22:21,160
Why hasn't it been rented out?

487
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:22,790
Actually, it rents easily.

488
00:22:22,790 --> 00:22:25,030
It's just that the last few tenants

489
00:22:25,030 --> 00:22:26,533
all went under due to poor management.

490
00:22:27,110 --> 00:22:28,200
They all went under?

491
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,070
We'll take it.

492
00:22:40,030 --> 00:22:41,640
If you're really interested,

493
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:42,750
I can give you a discount

494
00:22:42,750 --> 00:22:43,640
on my fee.

495
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:44,790
No discount.

496
00:22:46,350 --> 00:22:47,680
You deserve it.

497
00:22:54,350 --> 00:22:55,830
Then I'll go prepare the contract.

498
00:23:01,070 --> 00:23:02,270
Ms. Xin,

499
00:23:02,660 --> 00:23:04,070
the contract only says

500
00:23:04,070 --> 00:23:06,350
we can't rent an office
above market price.

501
00:23:06,550 --> 00:23:08,550
If I don't ask for a discount
or negotiate,

502
00:23:08,550 --> 00:23:09,790
that's not a violation, right?

503
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:11,750
Technically, no.

504
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,110
But that only lets you burn
a small amount of money.

505
00:23:17,110 --> 00:23:19,110
We're a game company.

506
00:23:19,110 --> 00:23:21,110
Employees are prone
to occupational injuries.

507
00:23:21,110 --> 00:23:22,240
So all our facilities

508
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:23,310
need upgrades.

509
00:23:23,310 --> 00:23:24,030
Look,

510
00:23:24,030 --> 00:23:26,350
we need to use
the most expensive chairs.

511
00:23:26,350 --> 00:23:28,030
For everyone?

512
00:23:28,030 --> 00:23:28,750
Of course,

513
00:23:28,750 --> 00:23:30,440
there's no hierarchy at Tengda,

514
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,550
so the chairs should be the same.

515
00:23:33,790 --> 00:23:34,590
And also,

516
00:23:34,590 --> 00:23:35,510
look at these desks.

517
00:23:35,510 --> 00:23:37,680
We should switch them all
to automatic sit-stand ones.

518
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:39,550
And since we're a game company,

519
00:23:39,550 --> 00:23:41,200
every computer should come with

520
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,200
an RTX 4090 graphics card.

521
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:44,750
The CPU must be an i9,

522
00:23:44,750 --> 00:23:45,440
and throw in

523
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,790
two 128GB RAM sticks.

524
00:23:48,790 --> 00:23:51,110
Swap all drives to SSDs.

525
00:23:51,110 --> 00:23:53,920
And fill these empty spots with plants.

526
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,270
Like dracaena, alocasia...

527
00:23:57,270 --> 00:23:59,790
Whatever's the most delicate,
that's what we get.

528
00:23:59,790 --> 00:24:02,000
For guests, we'll serve...

529
00:24:05,070 --> 00:24:06,270
Premium Lao Ban Zhang tea.

530
00:24:09,790 --> 00:24:11,000
Alright.

531
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,030
I'll assign someone
to handle procurement.

532
00:24:15,310 --> 00:24:16,200
Qian,

533
00:24:16,350 --> 00:24:18,350
is she from your previous company?

534
00:24:18,350 --> 00:24:20,350
No. Her name is Xin Hailu.

535
00:24:20,550 --> 00:24:22,350
She's the special assistant.

536
00:24:22,350 --> 00:24:24,070
From now on, you two are coworkers.

537
00:24:25,350 --> 00:24:26,790
A big office

538
00:24:27,350 --> 00:24:28,550
and a nice assistant.

539
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:29,680
What a dream start.

540
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,110
But I'll admit, I'm the weak spot
in this setup.

541
00:24:32,790 --> 00:24:34,270
I don't have much experience.

542
00:24:34,550 --> 00:24:36,310
I don't even know if I can help you.

543
00:24:36,310 --> 00:24:37,590
Helping your grandpa

544
00:24:39,110 --> 00:24:40,350
run a fruit stall.

545
00:24:40,790 --> 00:24:42,200
In a way,

546
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:43,440
isn't that basically

547
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,960
operating a family-owned business?

548
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,000
Who says you don't have experience?

549
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:49,288
You're an indispensable partner

550
00:24:49,288 --> 00:24:50,790
on my entrepreneurial journey.

551
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,350
Together, we're unstoppable.

552
00:24:52,590 --> 00:24:57,070
Let's get Tengda off the ground
as soon as possible.

553
00:25:01,350 --> 00:25:03,110
Mr. Pei, you want to pay Ma Yang

554
00:25:03,110 --> 00:25:05,070
a 50,000 monthly salary?

555
00:25:05,830 --> 00:25:07,110
What's the problem?

556
00:25:08,590 --> 00:25:09,400
After graduating,

557
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:10,790
he hasn't had a single

558
00:25:10,790 --> 00:25:11,830
proper job.

559
00:25:11,830 --> 00:25:14,270
In school, he failed every subject
and had to retake them.

560
00:25:14,350 --> 00:25:15,680
And under "Certificates,"

561
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,590
(Certificates)
he didn't even list CET-4.

562
00:25:19,110 --> 00:25:21,790
That's because he didn't want
to show off.

563
00:25:22,830 --> 00:25:24,830
So he never passed CET-4.

564
00:25:26,310 --> 00:25:28,350
He wanted to go straight for CET-6,

565
00:25:28,350 --> 00:25:29,640
so he didn't take CET-4.

566
00:25:34,070 --> 00:25:35,110
Keep it low-key.

567
00:25:47,790 --> 00:25:50,110
Anyway, I have my reasons
for hiring him.

568
00:25:50,333 --> 00:25:51,550
And according to the contract,

569
00:25:51,550 --> 00:25:53,350
I have hiring authority.

570
00:25:59,310 --> 00:26:00,750
That was my oversight.

571
00:26:01,830 --> 00:26:03,350
But everyone has a cap.

572
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,070
For Mr. Ma,

573
00:26:05,070 --> 00:26:07,350
the most you can pay him
is 5,000 a month.

574
00:26:07,350 --> 00:26:09,550
5,000? That's the same as me!

575
00:26:09,550 --> 00:26:11,550
Why does he get to be on my level?

576
00:26:11,550 --> 00:26:12,550
At least 20,000!

577
00:26:12,790 --> 00:26:13,750
8,000.

578
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:15,830
10,000.

579
00:26:15,830 --> 00:26:16,590
Deal.

580
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:29,110
Ma Yang,

581
00:26:29,110 --> 00:26:30,720
why'd you buy so many books?

582
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,270
For our future.

583
00:26:32,980 --> 00:26:33,730
Qian,

584
00:26:33,830 --> 00:26:34,440
I never thought

585
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:35,960
I'd ever make 10,000 a month.

586
00:26:36,110 --> 00:26:37,240
Starting today,

587
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:38,880
I'm going to prove myself!

593
00:26:53,750 --> 00:26:55,000

heaven ever gave me.

a hundred times.

598
00:27:05,830 --> 00:27:06,830

599
00:27:07,510 --> 00:27:08,550
Too bad

600
00:27:08,830 --> 00:27:10,070

603

There's a legend from our class.

605

672
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,000
So why'd you get a black one?

673
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:46,960
It's name is Yintang.
It is our company cat

674
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,533
and Tengda's Chief Motivation Officer.

675
00:30:48,533 --> 00:30:50,350
I found it by the roadside when I quit

676
00:30:50,350 --> 00:30:51,400

After I found it,

678
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,030
I founded Tengda.

679
00:30:54,030 --> 00:30:55,720

685
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,270
we'll definitely be hiring more, right?

686
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,720

687
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:23,830

689
00:31:37,750 --> 00:31:40,000

690
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:41,440
so my room was...

691
00:31:41,750 --> 00:31:43,030
But don't worry.

692
00:31:43,110 --> 00:31:44,680
As the boss, I think

693
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:46,960
the best stuff should go
to the employees.

694
00:31:48,030 --> 00:31:49,070

695

I've heard of

cutting a yellow ribbon for an opening.

718

Isn't that bad luck?

That's right, yellow means "go bust."

720
00:33:30,110 --> 00:33:33,400
I meant cutting off the projects
that "go bust."

721
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,920

00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:19,760
Mr. Qiao,

741
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,760
what should our next video be about?

742
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:24,480
Games these days

743
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:25,659
have zero creativity.

744
00:34:25,660 --> 00:34:27,230
Even the bad ones are all bad
the same way.

745
00:34:27,230 --> 00:34:28,466
I can't even roast them anymore.

746
00:34:28,488 --> 00:34:29,880
Why make videos at all?

747
00:34:30,030 --> 00:34:31,920
The banality of evil, I'm telling you.

748
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:34,760
But...

749
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:36,880
your likes have been

750
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:38,110
dropping lately.

751
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,480
You've got to do something about it.

752
00:34:42,030 --> 00:34:43,590
Alright, alright. Let me see.

753
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:48,760
There is a new release.

754
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:50,444
(The Lonely Road)
This looks roast-worthy.

755
00:34:50,630 --> 00:34:51,760
Is it?

756
00:34:52,030 --> 00:34:52,920
This one.

757
00:34:53,630 --> 00:34:55,070
What kind of game is this?

758
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,190
The Lonely Road.

759
00:34:57,190 --> 00:34:58,190
With this trash icon?

760
00:34:58,190 --> 00:35:00,039
And it's only one yuan.
Can it even break even?

761
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:00,760
Try it.

762
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:02,150
Do it.

763
00:35:03,820 --> 00:35:06,420
(The Lonely Road)

764
00:35:11,666 --> 00:35:13,070
Just look at my character's design.

765
00:35:13,070 --> 00:35:14,070
I've got to see

766
00:35:14,230 --> 00:35:16,400
how trashy this game can get.

767
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:29,630
Isn't it running already?

768
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,480
You just hold down the direction key.

769
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:36,360
That's it?

770
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:44,960
This game is way too slapdash.

771
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:46,510
Zero effort.

772
00:35:47,070 --> 00:35:48,960
The cutout work is awful.

773
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:49,960
Even I could do it.

774
00:35:50,510 --> 00:35:51,590
And there's no choice

775
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:53,150
of car.

776
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:54,030
Exactly.

777
00:35:54,030 --> 00:35:56,230
Look, everything
on both sides of the road

778
00:35:56,230 --> 00:35:57,030
is static.

779
00:36:00,230 --> 00:36:02,480
It's been a straight line forever.
Are there no turns?

780
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:04,030
We just keep going like this?

781
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,030
No way. Who makes a game like this?

782
00:36:07,030 --> 00:36:08,360
Isn't this just insane?

783
00:36:14,300 --> 00:36:15,860
(Level Cleared)

784
00:36:18,177 --> 00:36:19,510
- This thing is insane.
- Insane...

785
00:36:19,510 --> 00:36:20,800
(Loading next level)

786
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:22,000
There's a second level?

787
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,320
This game is so boring.

788
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:33,480
There's nothing new at all.

789
00:36:33,622 --> 00:36:35,480
It's just driving straight
and sightseeing,

790
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:37,360
and the scenery is all pixelated.

791
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,150
Turn...

792
00:36:46,150 --> 00:36:47,030
Brake...

793
00:36:47,030 --> 00:36:47,590
Brake!

794
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,030
Why are there no brakes?

795
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,030
No...

796
00:36:54,230 --> 00:36:55,550
(Game Over)

797
00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:01,550
Okay, there's something here.

798
00:37:10,550 --> 00:37:11,670
Time to turn.

799
00:37:11,670 --> 00:37:12,760
I know.

800
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:18,550
Nice.

801
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,000
Can't trick me a second time.

802
00:37:32,150 --> 00:37:33,030
Turn this way!

803
00:37:39,230 --> 00:37:40,550
(Game Over)

804
00:37:45,030 --> 00:37:46,030
What is this?

805
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:48,670
This game doesn't follow rules at all.

806
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:50,030
It's totally unhinged.

807
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:51,150
Again!

808
00:38:01,340 --> 00:38:02,980
(Series of turns)

809
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:08,800
(Game Over)

810
00:38:10,860 --> 00:38:13,060
(Series of turns)

811
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:19,590
(Game Over)

812
00:38:19,590 --> 00:38:20,760
Focus.

813
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:22,880
Left-left-left.

814
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:24,550
Right-right-left.

815
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:26,320
Left-left-right.

816
00:38:26,590 --> 00:38:27,760
Right-right-left.

817
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:29,760
Left-right-left. Right-left-right.

818
00:38:30,230 --> 00:38:31,030
Right-right-left.

819
00:38:31,030 --> 00:38:32,590
Left-right-left. Right-left-right.

820
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:34,550
Left-left-right-right. Left-right-left.

821
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:45,670
We made it.

822
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:03,800
(Game Over)

823
00:39:12,590 --> 00:39:13,590
Again.

824
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:19,880
Ready?

825
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:20,760
Ready.

826
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,360
I'm ready to go to war with this game.

827
00:39:24,110 --> 00:39:26,710
No way I can't beat it.

828
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:30,880
Left. Left.

829
00:39:31,190 --> 00:39:31,710
Right.

830
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:33,480
Left.

831
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:35,110
Right.

832
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:36,630
Left.

833
00:39:37,230 --> 00:39:38,230
No, right!

834
00:39:41,510 --> 00:39:43,230
Left. Right.

835
00:39:43,590 --> 00:39:44,230
Left.

836
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:45,400
Right.

837
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:56,070
Right-right-left.
Left-right-left-right. Right.

838
00:39:56,230 --> 00:39:57,590
Left-left-left.

839
00:39:58,110 --> 00:39:59,360
Left-right. Right.

840
00:39:59,590 --> 00:40:00,280
Right. Left.

841
00:40:00,590 --> 00:40:01,230
Left.

842
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:02,880
Left-left-right-right.

843
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:03,360
Left.

844
00:40:08,540 --> 00:40:09,620
(Level Cleared)

845
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,030
(Congratulations, you've wasted)

846
00:40:12,030 --> 00:40:13,880
(eight precious hours of your life.)

847
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:30,400
What kind of company made this game?

848
00:40:30,620 --> 00:40:31,460
(Congratulations!)
