After returning to his residence, Pei Qian sent a message to Assistant Xin, asking her to find out more about the old industrial zone in Jingzhou City after work on Monday. He wanted her to pick a bigger factory to ask about the price and estimate the investment of the haunted house.
Then, Pei Qian looked at Tang Yishu's message.
It was Saturday, and many people had gone to work overtime.
On the surface, Tang Yishu was going to clean Glabella, but in fact, she was helping Pei Qian monitor the people who worked overtime to see if they crossed the line.
Pei Qian looked at the message and then compared it with the overtime list submitted by Li Yada.
"A girl wearing glasses. This should be Li Yada.
"A mole on her face. This should be Little Li.
"A tall man with a crew cut … eh?"
Pei Qian immediately found a problem after comparing Tang Yishu's message with the list submitted by Li Yada.
There was one more person on the overtime list!
The number of people working overtime was five, but Tang Yishu recorded that there were six members of the design team who actually worked overtime!
The tall man with a crew cut should be Chen Kangtuo of the design team, but he was not on the overtime list submitted by Li Yada.
Pei Qian sneered. Hmph, I knew it!
Indeed, there would always be people in the design team who would not give up on working overtime.
Caught the dog.
Pei Qian thought about how he should deal with such a stubborn person who refused to mend his ways and was still secretly working overtime.
Send him away happily on the spot and let him display his talent on a bigger stage. Kill the chicken to warn the monkeys?
That was not appropriate.
That was because such a method would not solve the root cause. It would cause endless harm for a moment of pleasure.
Pei Qian did not ask Tang Yishu who was working overtime over the weekend. He also did not think about installing surveillance cameras in the office because of the same considerations.
If Pei Qian transferred Chen Kangtuo to another department through the first-place elimination system, it would undoubtedly be a hint to all employees that they would be eliminated as long as they worked overtime.
Those who wanted to be promoted would deliberately work overtime when they saw this situation. Those who wanted to work overtime would become even more aggressive. The situation would then become out of control.
Pei Qian would not be able to distinguish who was a slacker and who was a real hard worker.
Or could Pei Qian warn Chen Kangtuo not to work overtime and strictly prohibit such behavior?
Then, on the surface, it would seem that those who wanted to work overtime would back off, but they would definitely turn to the dark side and secretly work overtime at home.
Everyone was working overtime at home. Boss Pei still could not tell which of his employees were slackers and which were hardworking.
Therefore, he couldn't do that!
As the saying goes, if the water is too clear, there will be no fish, and if a person is too scrupulous, there will be no disciples.
Whether it was strictly checking attendance or installing surveillance cameras in the office, many employees would subconsciously work harder and reduce the number of times they slacked off. On the other hand, Boss Pei would not be able to see the hard workers hiding in the dark.
Pei Qian's ultimate goal was to create an environment for all his employees. At the same time, he wanted them to think that Boss Pei would not care if they worked overtime secretly.
In this way, slackers began to mingle around with a clear conscience, while hardworking people would secretly work overtime. Only then could the two be distinguished.
After that, Pei Qian would be able to get hold of the list of struggling people and then arrange for them without anyone knowing.
He wouldn't alert the enemy.
Therefore, Pei Qian was not impatient. Instead, he silently remembered Chen Kangtuo's name and prepared to settle scores with him later.
At the same time, he was also waiting for more fish to enter the net.
…
December 6th, Monday …
Pei Qian arrived at the office at 10 AM as usual. He then realized that there seemed to be fewer people in the office today.
After a moment of confusion, he remembered that today was the day of Tengda's recruitment examinations.
Many employees from the HR and administrative departments had gone out to maintain order in the examination hall.
Although many postgraduate students from Handong University came to help, these students could only be assistants and had to be led by Hao Yun and the others.
Pei Qian planned to sit in the office for a while before walking around the examination hall.
Recruitment was a big deal after all. Whether he could filter out more slackers would affect the future development of the company. Pei Qian did not dare to be negligent.
He had just sat down when Assistant Xin came to report.
"Boss Pei, I've found out about the situation at the factory.
"The abandoned factory in the old industrial zone is planned to be developed under the name of cultural and creative industrial park. That's why we're not selling it. However, the good news is that the rent is very cheap because no one wants it.
"The rent for these factories is only eight or nine yuan per square meter per month. This cost is basically negligible.
"If you plan to turn these factories into haunted houses, you have to plan the scale and how many factories you want to occupy.
"That's the best way to calculate the initial investment."
Pei Qian nodded. The price was much cheaper than he had imagined.
It was only eight or nine yuan per square meter per month. In that case, renting a ten thousand square meters of space and several huge factories would only cost slightly more than a million yuan a year. It was a world of difference from the price of an office building.
Of course, whether the rent was expensive or not depended on the location.
These factories were located in remote locations. If they could not earn money from renting them, the one million yuan a year would be wasted. That was why most people were not willing to take over.
Assistant Xin continued. "There's another thing. Boss Pei, are we going to hold an annual meeting this year?
"If we are going to open it, it's about time to start preparing."
Pei Qian was stunned. Then, he immediately said, "Of course, we're going to hold one!"
How could he forget about that?!
How could he miss out on such a good opportunity to spend money?
They did not hold an annual meeting last year because Tengda was too small then. They could not hold an annual meeting.
However, Tengda had so many employees this year. It was reasonable for them to hold an annual meeting!
They could hold some big prizes at the annual meeting and give everyone a Sunshine Award. Wouldn't they be able to spend a huge sum of money then?
It was all thanks to Assistant Xin's reminder!
Assistant Xin nodded. "Alright, Boss Pei. I'll inform them to get ready. If you have any requests for the annual meeting, feel free to let me know. "
Pei Qian said, "I don't have any other requirements. We just have to conform to the Tengda spirit, understand?"
Assistant Xin: "Understood, the prizes will definitely be of high quality."
Pei Qian nodded in satisfaction.
After Assistant Xin left, Pei Qian prepared to watch some dramas for a while. After lunch, he would head to the examination venue to take a look.
However, just as he opened Aili Island's website, he received a message on his phone.
It was from Lin Wan.
"Boss Pei, Be
'Be Quiet' already had an initial demo. As for the cell phone, the first version of the system has also been finalized. "
"If you have time in the next two days, would you like to take a look?"
Pei Qian pondered for a moment and typed. "Alright, I'll go to Shang Yang Games tomorrow and Otto Technologies the day after …"
However, halfway through the sentence, Pei Qian felt that it was inappropriate and deleted everything.
He shouldn't have gone there himself. He should have asked them to come over.
Tang Yishu, the nuclear weapon, would definitely be put to use at this critical juncture to test the results of research and development.
However, it would seem strange if Pei Qian brought Tang Yishu to Shang Yang Games or Otto Technologies to inspect the results.
After all, Tang Yishu's current position was only that of an 'encourager'. It would be inappropriate for him to bring her around, and it would easily arouse suspicion.
Thus, it would be best for everyone to come to Tengda Games and unknowingly be influenced by Tang Yishu's halo effect.
At that thought, Pei Qian typed again. "Come to Tengda for a demonstration in the next two days."
After a while, Lin Wan replied. "Alright, Boss Pei."
…
In the afternoon …
At Tengda's recruitment examination venue …
Wu Bin was full of praises as he ate the set meal from Fish-Catching Take-Out.
He was the HR employee of Hengtu Games who had tried to poach Hao Qiong previously and ended up being humiliated. He had been paying attention to Tengda's recruitment.
Now that the recruitment examination was finally here, he naturally would not miss this opportunity.
He had already finished one subject in the morning, and it was time for his lunch break.
Wu Bin could be said to have many thoughts about this recruitment examination.
His first thought was that it was strange!
The timing was strange, the process was strange, and even the questions for the examination were strange.
In terms of timing, it was quite ridiculous that it was arranged on a Monday.
That was because many companies would have meetings on Mondays, and it was extremely difficult to apply for leave.
They deliberately arranged the examination on a Monday. Was it because they were afraid that the employees taking the examination would be able to take leave?
In terms of process, there were many inexplicable and seemingly unnecessary steps.
Wu Bin was in HR himself, and he was very familiar with such processes.
From his point of view, Tengda might not be small, but such a large-scale comprehensive examination was like taking off one's pants to fart. It was superfluous, expensive, and laborious. It would be better to use the regular recruitment method.
The most confusing thing was that there was a Tengda Spirit compatibility test in the recruitment process. However, one would not be able to become a permanent employee if that was the case. That was quite ridiculous.
What's more, the questions were really difficult!
Wu Bin had also participated in civil servant examinations and similar written examinations before. He had been prepared for such questions before.
He had originally thought that Tengda was a private company, and the written examination questions would be much simpler.
However, he was completely wrong.
He had never seen the difficulty of such questions before!
Wu Bin had almost broken down after answering the questions for the entire morning. He had thought that he had prepared very well, but he had been pressed to the ground by such difficult questions.
However, there was no other way.
Who asked Tengda to treat people well?!
This could be seen from the lunch.
There were at least a few hundred job seekers in this hotel venue. Tengda was directly providing for their meals. This alone would cost at least tens of thousands of yuan.
What's more, this was not the only examination venue.
It would probably cost a huge sum to hire these university graduate students to invigilate and mark the papers.
Ai, it's so good to be rich!
As Wu Bin ate the set meal from Fish-Catching Take-Out, he imagined how wonderful it would be if he could work in Tengda one day.
After lunch, Wu Bin saw many people leaving the venue.
Tengda had arranged accommodation for the job seekers from other cities. Thus, they could return to their rooms to rest for a while and come back before the examination in the afternoon.
Wu Bin, on the other hand, did not have such treatment since he was staying in Jingzhou.
He could go home and rest, but it would be troublesome to travel back and forth. Thus, there was no need for him to torment himself.
Since he had nothing to do, Wu Bin's gaze swept across the hall and observed the candidates — his competitors.
Most of them were young, and many of them should be local university students in Jingzhou.
That was normal. After all, fourth-year students were frantically looking for jobs. They would definitely not pass up such examinations.
Employees of Wu Bin's age either could not bear to part with their year-end bonuses or could not take leave on Mondays. Thus, many of them gave up.
"It feels like Tengda is biased towards younger employees.
I wonder if an old hooligan like me would be able to get in. "
Wu Bin felt a little melancholic.
