Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 1236: Cross-Server Chat

September 28th, Friday…

Pei Qian came to the special training base for the suffering trip again, wanting to see how the people in charge were doing.

In the huge hall, the people in charge were training daily.

Pei Qian stood in the corner and observed silently. He realized that these people’s climbing speed seemed to have improved significantly compared to the last time he came.

“Boss Pei.”

Bao Xu had been supervising the rock climbing of these people. When he saw Boss Pei, he quickly came over to greet him.

Pei Qian nodded. “Yes, how was the training? Did you encounter any problems?”

Bao Xu smiled. “Don’t worry, Boss Pei. Everything is going well.”

“These people’s improvements are visible to the naked eye.”

“However, Guo Licheng lost some muscles during training. His heart hurts.”

The training program at the special training base was very different from the training at the gym.

Guo Licheng trained in the gym mainly to train his strength so that his muscles would be bigger and more beautiful.

On the other hand, there was very little time to do strength training in the special training base every day. There were some changes in his diet, so his body had lost a little weight overall. This made him, who valued muscles as much as his life, very distressed.

Pei Qian smiled. “It doesn’t matter. He’ll slowly train them back when he leaves.”

“However…”

“Happiness is always too short. The special training is almost over. Half of the beautiful time has passed.”

Pei Qian felt melancholic.

The special training started at the beginning of the month. The original plan only lasted two months.

It had been a month.

These people in charge had been tortured by Bao Xu but they were finally going to make it through the tough times.

Bao Xu nodded. “Indeed.”

“However, don’t worry, Boss Pei. This is just special training. The next month will be the highlight.”

Pei Qian sighed. “However, there’s only one month left.”

Bao Xu was moved as well. “Exactly.”

After he finished speaking, he realized that it would be inappropriate to speak so directly. He quickly added, “However, I think two months of training is about it.”

Pei Qian could not help but smile. It looked like Bao Xu still had a conscience.

However, on further thought, even though Bao Xu had gone overseas so many times, he had only gone on a holiday for a month at most. After torturing this group of people for two months, his anger had more or less dissipated.

It was time for a new batch of people to be tortured.

Pei Qian pondered for a moment and asked, “Where are you planning to pull these people next month?”

Bao Xu was already prepared. He said, “Considering that it’s their first time going out to suffer, we won’t choose those places that are too far away.”

“Let’s make a trip to Shennongjia first.”

“Don’t worry, Boss Pei. This is my current plan. The first half of the trip will be simple field survival. The second half will be a very safe scenic spot to tour.”

“Sa Ziran has already gone to the wilderness to carefully inspect. Safety measures will also be done. This time, it will mainly be an experience. They will not be allowed to do things that are too difficult or too dangerous.”

Pei Qian nodded. “Yes, the prerequisite for a torturous trip must be safety. Otherwise, it would not be a torturous trip. It would become a suicidal trip.”

“I’m not worried about your work. Just let me know if you have any problems.”

“By the way, at the end of next month, this group of people will all return to Jingzhou. Summarize the experience and lessons of the first batch of special training. I’ll discuss creating an outdoor special training base.”

Pei Qian had already briefly mentioned this idea to Bao Xu previously.

Considering that everyone in the special training camp had different physical conditions and had different mastery of outdoor survival skills, someone would definitely fall behind if they wanted to go for more difficult training.

Thus, Pei Qian’s idea was to find a suitable place to transform it into an outdoor training base near Jingzhou or Handong Province.

At the moment, there were many training projects in this special training base. However, they were only indoors after all. The atmosphere was lacking.

Once the new base was built, they could split the members into two groups.

First, they would train their bodies and learn skills in the special training base indoors. A month later, based on the training and adaptability, they would send people who met the criteria and had an adventurous spirit to all over the world. Those with weaker physical conditions and survival skills would be placed in Tengda’s own outdoor special training base for another month.

In short, everyone had to train for two months. No one could run.

However, the current level of suffering was enough. There was no need to consider the upgrading of suffering.

Pei Qian was very satisfied with the situation of the torturous trip. He left happily after giving Bao Xu a few more instructions.

…

After lunch, Pei Qian arrived at his office.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door. Meng Chang had arrived.

This was the last Friday of the month. It was time for the commission again.

Pei Qian opened his laptop and took a look. Indeed, there was only a basic salary.

Meng Chang reached out to take the notebook, glanced at it, and handed it back.

Both of them looked at each other speechlessly.

Pei Qian was very angry when he first realized that Meng Chang had a serious problem with the publicity plan for Eternal Reincarnation. He even said a few harsh words to Meng Chang.

However, Eternal Reincarnation was still popular. Meng Chang did not get a commission. Pei Qian had long been appeased.

His only hope was that Meng Chang could reflect on his pain and think about what good deeds he had done. He did not want to cause any more trouble for the publicity next month.

At that thought, Pei Qian observed Meng Chang’s expression.

Meng Chang’s expression was still considered normal. It was not like before. He was either hysterical or ashen.

“Do you know where you went wrong?” Pei Qian asked.

Meng Chang nodded and answered confidently, “Got it!”

“Yes, it’s good that you know.” Pei Qian was quite satisfied with Meng Chang’s attitude. He emphasized again. “I didn’t give you a commission this time. It’s also to teach you a lesson. Don’t do such things again in the future.”

Pei Qian felt that he had made it very clear.

These words might be a little vulgar but the logic was not rough, which was easy for Meng Chang to understand.

Tell me, you suppressed the popularity until it exploded next month, but you took a commission. When the popularity exploded later on, you asked me to clean up your mess and made me earn money. Wasn’t that doing nothing?

Er… something’s not right. Why do I sound like I’ve become ‘bum’…?

Forget it, forget it. This was not a key problem.

It was enough as long as the meaning was reached.

Meng Chang nodded again. “Don’t worry, Boss Pei. I’ve completely understood this principle. I won’t make the same mistake as before.”

He did not care about being a bum… Boss Pei’s words might be a little straightforward, but they were quite down-to-earth and fitting.

He had only wanted to put on a strong show for the Pei family’s publicity method, but he had neglected the gamers’ gaming experience. Wasn’t it just caring about their heads and not their bums?

In the future, he would definitely have to plan more comprehensively. He could not make it so stiff.

The two of them stared at each other, feeling that they were both smart people. This communication was very effective.

Pei Qian pondered for a moment and moved on to the next topic.

“How about Young Master Tian?”

Meng Chang was a little ashamed. “Oh… I’m sorry, Boss Pei. There’s still no progress.”

“It’s mainly because I’ve been reflecting on the previous plan. It requires more energy.”

Pei Qian nodded slightly. “Yes, we can’t rush it. I’m just reminding you to remember this.”

Meng Chang was so miserable this month that he did not even get a commission. He must not be in the mood to investigate Young Master Tian’s identity. That was completely understandable.

At the moment, it looked like Young Master Tian was a threat as well. However, he had only posted one video after all. He could not be considered a threat.

It was not too late to plan slowly.

Meng Chang was a little touched.

Boss Pei was really worried. He was afraid that he would be defeated by the failure of the previous month’s plan. He even reminded me to dig deeper into the connotation of the role of Young Master Tian and continue to glorify the Pei family’s publicity method.

Yes, he was hinting to me that even though I encountered some setbacks during my learning process, I should not be discouraged. The process is tortuous and my future is bright.

Both of them reached a “consensus” once again.

“Alright, next is the work schedule for next month.”

Pei Qian flipped through it on his computer. “Hmm… there’s actually no particularly suitable project for you to publicize next month. Why don’t you consider Suffering Travels?”

Pei Qian hoped that Suffering Travels would become a part of Tengda’s employee benefits, but that obviously would not work. The system defined it as one of Tengda’s businesses.

It was still the same reason: the System was very clear about the boundaries between ’employee benefits’ and ‘profiting industry’.

Employee benefits and investments were severely limited. However, there was no possibility of profits and they could only spend money. On the other hand, for profitable industries, there were only a few restrictions on investment. They might lose out but there must be a possibility of profits.

If it was purely for employee benefits, there was too little space for him to show off.

What’s more, the suffering trip was a company that Bao Xu had set up with the Dream Fund. From any angle, it was a proper travel company.

They could publicize it or not.

However, based on Pei Qian’s experience, even if he did not publicize it, with Traveller Bao Xu’s reputation, the torturous travel would sooner or later be seen by the public.

Since this ending was unavoidable, he might as well let Meng Chang do up a plan for publicity. If the reverse publicity was successful, he could spend a huge sum of money on publicity.

Of course, it also depended on whether Meng Chang was willing to accept this job.

After all, considering the influence of Traveller Bao Xu, it was very difficult to achieve the reverse publicity of this project.

However, Meng Chang did not seem to be conflicted at all. He immediately nodded. “Alright, Boss Pei. I’ll take it.”

Of course, he knew the difficulty of this project very well. However, if he wanted to completely master the Pei family’s publicity method, he must not have any fear.

The harder it was to do reverse publicity, the more benefits they would gain after success!

Pei Qian was very satisfied seeing that Meng Chang was still full of motivation and did not seem to be affected by what happened this month.

“Alright, that’s settled then. Go back and prepare!”

“I’ll call Bao Xu later and ask him to cooperate with you. If you need anything, you can look for him or me directly.”
