October 20th, Sunday …
At the nameless restaurant.
Today was the day that Tengda Corporation booked the entire restaurant. The heads of the various departments gathered together, eating snacks and drinking tea as they waited for Boss Pei to arrive.
Although the 20th of every month was a fixed date for a dinner party, today's dinner party still made everyone feel a trace of an unusual atmosphere.
Yu Fei was the most junior among the people in charge, so he did not know much about the current situation. He turned to ask Huang Sibo, who was sitting beside him.
"Brother Huang, you all said that Boss Pei might have something important to announce this time. Why? Isn't this a regular gathering? "
Ever since the success of the game and movie 'The Future You Choose', Yu Fei's novel with the same name was also very popular.
To the readers, Yu Fei had changed from an author to a game designer. It could be said to be a very successful transformation. Many people even advised him not to write anymore and focus on making a few more good games!
As a result, Yu Fei was in a dilemma. He felt that the reason why he could create such a game was mainly because of Boss Pei's guidance. He did not have much strength, but on the other hand, he slowly felt the joy of making games. He felt that there was nothing wrong with being a game designer and writing at the same time.
Especially in the special atmosphere of working in Tengda Corporation. He felt that his current state was quite good to be able to grow quickly under Boss Pei's guidance!
However, this seemingly normal gathering of the people in charge gave him an unusual vibe, which was the reason why he wanted to seek an answer from Huang Sibo.
As one of the elders of Tengda Corporation, Huang Sibo was also one of the earliest employees to follow Boss Pei. He was obviously more sensitive than Yu Fei when it came to controlling the wind.
He sipped his tea and said, "Actually, Boss Pei has not been to the company for more than half a month since the success of the game and movie 'The Future You Choose'."
"Even when he arrived at the company, he would only stay quietly in the president's office. He rarely called the person-in-charge of the department over to hand over work or ask questions."
"This might seem like a regular gathering but Boss Pei must have something very important to announce since he appeared."
Realization dawned on Yu Fei. "Oh, is this the Boss Pei that you always talk about?"
"In other words, Boss Pei is going to think of ways to develop new businesses or carry out in-depth reforms in the company in the next period of time?"
Shaking his head, Huang Sibo replied, "I don't think it's that simple."
"Indeed, Boss Pei would always think of the next stage of the problem in advance when he is in good times. However, Boss Pei's reaction this time is a little abnormal."
"Previously, Boss Pei was always able to quickly come up with a plan for the next stage after every success. However, this time, Boss Pei took a long time to think and did not ask for the person-in-charge's opinion. That means that Boss Pei is not thinking about business problems, but some deeper and more complicated problems. "
"What's more, Boss Pei might announce the next stage of the plan at this gathering."
"This plan might be very bizarre and unexpected. We need to be mentally prepared."
Yu Fei nodded. He had a clearer understanding of the current situation.
He seriously sorted out the work of Tengda Games in the past few months. At the same time, he was also guessing what kind of new plan Boss Pei would give.
Boss Pei arrived just as everyone was talking.
The people in charge stood up to greet him. President Pei waved his hand and gestured for them to sit down.
Yu Fei sized up Boss Pei seriously and realized that Boss Pei's expression was a little serious. What's more, Boss Pei seemed to have become more haggard after not seeing him for a while. He did not know if it was his imagination.
Perhaps Boss Pei was indeed thinking about a very complicated problem. That was why he spent so much energy, right?
Pei Qian looked around at everyone and said, "I invited everyone to a meal today because I have two small matters to discuss. It has nothing to do with the company's business. It's good that everyone knows. "
The people in charge listened attentively. Boss Pei might have said that it was a small matter but everyone knew that it was definitely not a small matter! Otherwise, wouldn't it be fine to send a notice? There was no need to make such a big fuss.
Pei Qian said, "The first thing. In the next two months, which is until the end of December, our various departments have to carry out a negative profit activity. "
"In other words, we have to think of all ways to make our department's profits negative by giving users benefits, expanding production scale, setting up new industries, and so on."
"Without affecting the company's cash flow, we have to reduce profits to the lowest possible and raise the turnover rate to the highest possible!"
"We have to organize such an event at the end of every year in the future. Everyone has to remember that there is no need to leave so much useless money in Tengda's accounts! "
"That's because money lying in the accounts means that we are causing a huge waste of resources. All departments have to remember this."
"In the future, not only must every department be able to earn money, but they must also be able to spend money!"
"The second thing. From today onwards, everyone should try to get used to the situation where I am not around and carry on with the work smoothly. That way, Tengda Corporation can continue to develop along its previous path. "
"That's because I won't be coming to the company for the next two months."
"From January next year, I will leave Jingzhou."
"I might go anywhere in the world for a year, but I might not come back after a year."
"That's why you have to get used to not having me in the company."
Everyone in charge was in an uproar when he said that.
In fact, many people in charge had already mentally prepared themselves in advance. They felt that Boss Pei must have something important to announce this time. However, no matter how mentally prepared they were, they would never have thought that Boss Pei would say such a thing!
This negative profit activity was a little strange but it was understandable given Tengda Corporation's corporate culture and corporate values. The people in charge could think of many explanations for it.
For example, they had to pay attention to social responsibility, return wealth to society, always pay attention to the flow rate of funds to ensure the speed of the company's development, and so on.
For the people in charge, Boss Pei was the one who planned how much money the department spent and how much money they earned. Now, it was the departments who spent their own money. It would be inconvenient in terms of overall planning and efficiency. However, for the people in charge, this obviously gave them more power and made them more handy when dealing with their own department's work.
The key was the second point.
Boss Pei was leaving Tengda Corporation!
First, he would not come to the company for two months. Then, he would leave Jingzhou for a year. He might not even come back after a year.
How could that be?
Tengda Corporation was now a giant company whose business covered various fields and extended to the country and even overseas. However, the people in charge still felt that the company had grown under Boss Pei's wings. Without Boss Pei, wouldn't they lose their backbone?
It was like a building that was about to collapse.
At the moment, Tengda Corporation's work was being carried out by the various departments themselves. They did not know if Boss Pei had read the work reports that they submitted. However, at every critical moment, Boss Pei would always stand up against everyone's opinions and turn the tide. He would make Tengda Corporation walk on the right path.
Boss Pei was the decision-maker. That was the most important job.
Everyone in the company could be replaced, but Boss Pei could not be replaced!
It was like an empire that was thriving, but a young and powerful emperor suddenly announced that he would ignore the imperial court and bury himself in cultivation. Even a loyal minister would not be able to accept it.
Huang Sibo was especially confused. He raised his hand and asked blankly, "Boss Pei, do you mean to retire?"
He did not quite believe that himself.
It was not uncommon for company founders in their twenties to achieve wealth and freedom and decide to retire. However, such founders would usually choose to sell the company before retiring.
However, that was mostly because they felt that the company would not be able to progress further under their leadership. They would not be able to achieve greater development. They might as well retire successfully and achieve wealth and freedom in advance so that they could find meaning in life in other directions.
If a company had developed to the scale of a giant, invincible in all fields, and deeply supported by all customers, it would not be a problem for the company to become a giant. Under such circumstances, which founder would retire?
The company was the founder's life's work! Under the premise that there was still a bright future for development, how could the founder be assured to hand the company over to others?
What's more, achieving wealth and freedom meant retirement. That was obviously severing work and life completely.
Only people who thought that work was to earn money and to enjoy life better would think that way.
As for those who regarded work as the goal of their life, or even the highest meaning of their existence, they would work until they couldn't move anymore. Even after they retired, they would still secretly maintain control of the company.
No matter how one looked at it, it was extremely unreasonable for Boss Pei to retire now!
Pei Qian shook his head. "It's not considered retirement. It's just that I won't interfere with the company's specific business unless necessary."
To put it bluntly, he was still sitting in the position of the president, but he would not do anything.
Upon hearing this, the people in charge relaxed a little.
Fortunately, as long as Boss Pei was still the president of Tengda Corporation, everyone would still have a backbone in their hearts. When they encountered key problems, they would always feel that someone was backing them up.
Yu Fei was the most confused. He slowly raised his hand and asked, "However, Boss Pei, if you're not in Jingzhou, what should I do if there are problems in the company's business in the future?"
Pei Qian smiled slightly. "You can ask Huang Sibo or the other people in charge. If there are any problems that are really difficult to solve, the person-in-charge will hold a meeting to discuss. We will always come to a relatively reliable conclusion. "
"There's no need to pursue perfection in everything. For the current size of Tengda, it's important to forge ahead, but it's more important to not forget your original intention!"
"Who knows, you might be able to develop Tengda Corporation better without my interference?"
