Added DiffLines:
* QuantityVsQuality: Played with in both aspects
** Quality: Tengda has a relatively small development team when developing and maintaining their games, but are able to succeed due to Tengda being able to pay for the best resources for their games.
** Quantity: Tengda can develop a lot of delivery branches all over Jinzhou (and eventually the entire China) despite the lack of ability to gather adequate, due to Pei Qian funding it in order to occur more sure losses.
** Quality Supplement Quantity: Noted that the quantity in the industries Pei Qian created has an improved level of quality compared to the others and when customers notice & appreciate the quality provided, the profits comes rushing in all over Jinzhou.
* SeriesMascot: 2 for Tengda
** The first is Modest, Guardian of Justice, created by Li Yada for [=MOBA=] "Glory of Gods", a gold tank with many weapons stabbed on his back who fights by knocking back opponents, throwing friendly opponents to nearby areas and improve his ability to gather money when the player control him well, inspired by her boss Pei Qian. Pei Qian is quite mixed with it, as while it is quite overpowered at the start and he liked being honored as an inspiration, he don't like how the weapons are placed and the fan name Coin Scattering Hedgehog, due to him scattering coins when he's stabbed in the back.
** The second is AEEIS, An Efficient and Effortless Intelligent System, who can bicker with its owner until the owner cannot respond due to anger and eloquently recite Chinese poems and stating its origins.
* SlidingScaleOfGenderInequality: With Tengda itself, the majority of the higher position workers and notable recurring casts outside of Tengda are male, though some of the major female casts in Tengda did have positions that are important to Tengda development as well. And Tengda's gender equality is relatively more balanced to the other companies, where there's only one company (Shenhua) with a woman having a leadership position (with the caveat that, she has a bit role to the story and although competent, has familial ties with said company). Strange given that in this setting, people are more concerned about the person's age & experience than gender when they take over a leadership role.

** During the development of "Repent & Be Saved", some voluntary authors create the game plot for the Zhongdian section (webnovel) of the [=TPDb=] website, which is considered unpopular with the online readers due to its scattered plotlines.

He passed on the information to his fans, one of them discovered the powerful EasterEgg 'Pudu' (a cheat weapon made for Pei Qian to complete it as sanction by the system).

** The 2nd Tengda project, card game Ghost General, Pei Qian hired a mid tier artist Ruan Guangjian, who's work consist of cartoonish art at that time and have a team behind him. But when Pei Qian gives him the approval to make his own art according to Ma Yang's content, Ruan Guangjian got inspired and created a new set of art that stunned Pei Qian when he received the work.

The strategy of Tengda in targeting other industries after seeing their current industry being a success may be slow in getting profits and expanding their market, with Tengda still staying in the province of Handong; but this enables the different industries of Tengda to work with each other without any delays and provides strong brand loyalty to Tengda when a new venture is formed. The analyst even warned against other entrepreneurs to emulate their strategy, as it requires that person to having a far sighted mind like Pei Qian and needs a stable cash flow to create new ventures in the first place.

Losing Money To Become A Tycoon (亏成首富从游戏开始)is a Chinese WebSerialNovel written by Inebriation-seeking Blue Shirt, running from 2017 to August 2021.
Finding himself back in time 10 years ago (though technically, an almost similar world in 2009), Pei Qian got a system where he gets money to run his business. The funds for business and personal use are separated, and after a set period, he can earn his personal funds according to how much his business funds he has left.
The catch? Pei Qian earns more when he makes a loss in his business funds.
Happily thinking how easy it would be (with many, many failed startups proving a point), Pei Qian founded his company Tengda and achieve financial freedom through the losses.
Unfortunately, fate has other plans for him.
