March 25th, Friday …
Boss Pei was very busy these two days.
In the last week before settlement, Pei Qian had to enter a state of spending money.
GOG's season bonus, Thriller Hostel's investment, and employees' frequent celebration parties had eliminated most of Boss Pei's burden for this cycle, but there were still some finishing touches to be done.
That was what Pei Qian had been busy with during this period.
The first was the most basic employee salaries, benefits, and other expenses. According to the reputation of each project on TPDb, those that should be awarded bonuses and basic salaries that should be increased would be increased as much as possible.
Of course, he had only completed the statistical work at the moment. Salaries and bonuses had to go through the process and would only be issued at the end of the month.
After that, many projects carried out inhumane promotional activities.
For example, Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, ROF Computer-Installation, 'Top Student, Come Quick', Upwind Logistics, Zhongdian Chinese Network, and so on. They burned money within the limits permitted by the system.
On the surface, it looked like they were burning money to gain popularity, but in fact, it was purely for the sake of burning money.
At that time, Pei Qian realized the benefits of many projects becoming popular.
For example, Fish-Catching Internet Cafe wanted to take the route of high pricing and strive to dissuade as many customers as possible to ensure a loss.
In the end, after a few magical operations, even Lincheng's Fish-Catching Internet Cafe was f * cking full …
The rule of dissuading customers and causing them to incur losses was, in fact, self-defeating.
However, Pei Qian realized that this was the time for promotions!
The internet cafe would be full if they maintained the original price. That meant that there was no room for increase in the number of customers in the internet cafe if they burned money for promotions!
Therefore, burning money at this time was pure burning money!
What's more, after the project was profitable, the system's restrictions on 'losing money to gain popularity' would become much looser. It even condoned and encouraged 'quenching thirst with poison' to a certain extent.
Obviously, such behavior would bring some negative effects, such as increasing the popularity of the project.
However, for Boss Pei, who had already tasted some sweetness from 'quenching thirst with poison', this was not a big deal.
Boss Pei also drank a lot during the last settlement. At that time, he was worried if this cycle would be particularly difficult. Reality proved that although it was indeed a little difficult, he had still reached this point through his own intelligence and was about to pass it safely!
Uh, that's not right. It seems to be a little too early to say this. I shouldn't have set up an FG.
All in all, everything had been arranged to spend as much money as possible. Their current financial situation was good, and they would receive a sum of money next week. At that time, they would spend it all in the form of GOG's season bonuses and employee benefits. After that, they would just have to wait for the settlement.
Pei Qian looked at his watch. It was 2: 50 PM.
It was almost time.
At that moment, many people had gathered outside Boss Pei's office on the 16th floor of Shenhua View.
They were all the person-in-charge of Tengda Corporation's various departments.
They had only received a notice that there would be a short meeting at three o 'clock in the afternoon, but no one seemed to know the specific content of the meeting.
Apart from the individuals in charge who were directly related to the preparation process.
However, these people in charge were all tight-lipped and would not divulge anything.
Now, all the employees of Tengda's departments, whether they were at the top or the bottom, had formed a tacit understanding of the Tengda spirit. That was to unconditionally fulfill Boss Pei's requirements and not ask too much. As long as Boss Pei asked for confidentiality, everyone would do their best to fulfill the confidentiality requirements.
After all, no one knew what Boss Pei's deeper intentions were. They were afraid that they would mess things up and lose Boss Pei's trust. The safest way was to be obedient and do whatever Boss Pei said.
Of course, it was hard to say what these people were thinking and imagining.
They would listen to whatever Boss Pei said except for Boss Pei telling them not to think too much. That was absolutely impossible.
Boss Pei came out of his office when it was almost three o 'clock.
Everyone was already seated in the conference room, waiting for the meeting to start.
Pei Qian also sat down at the conference table. After looking around, he went straight to the point and said, "Today, I want to present a new award to an outstanding department in Tengda Corporation.
"In the future, this award will be released from time to time. The timing of the release depends on me.
"When I find that a department meets the conditions for this award, I will immediately hold a meeting to give it out."
Hearing this, the person-in-charge's face revealed a look of surprise.
Another award?
Wasn't the current award enough?
Everyone felt that the internal benefits were already to the point where other companies were jealous. All department members could receive extra bonuses based on the ratings on the TPDb website every month. Salary increases were also very frequent. In addition to that, in order to recognize outstanding employees, there were two main prizes every year: outstanding employee selection.
There was even a monthly competition without overtime, and the winning department would be commended.
Now, there was a new award for outstanding departments?
This was really … exciting!
The person-in-charge of several departments who felt that they had hope all sat up straight and waited.
For example, Huang Sibo, Lin Wan, Chang You, Hu Xianbin, He Desheng, and the others.
Pei Qian saw this and felt angry.
From the perspective of making money and stabbing me in the back, all of you really deserved the award.
Unfortunately, there was no place for you!
Pei Qian took the trophy from Assistant Xin's hands. The shining golden light immediately blinded everyone's Khorium Ore dog eyes.
The entire trophy was glittering in gold!
There was no doubt that this was pure gold.
The appearance of the trophy was in the shape of a mountain. However, it was more abstract and had undergone some artistic treatment.
There was a small line of words on the base: Tengda Cornerstone Award.
There were two vertical lines of traditional Chinese characters on the golden mountain. They looked like dragons and phoenixes dancing. It seemed to be the work of a certain calligrapher.
The golden mountain has a flaw, but it does not lose its height.
The sea of money is boundless, but it corrodes deeper.
Pei Qian had specially found a local calligrapher in Jingzhou to write these two lines of words after thinking hard. He then scanned the words and engraved them on the golden mountain when he ordered the trophy.
Why did he have to make it so complicated?
He was mainly worried that the award would have the opposite effect after it was awarded!
Pei Qian had already thought about it. In the future, this trophy would be awarded directly to the department that incurred the most losses.
However, it would easily have the opposite effect if it was not handled well. The department that incurred the most losses would think that Boss Pei was spurring them to work harder to turn losses into profits.
Wouldn't that be self-defeating?
Therefore, he must not let everyone misunderstand!
This award was not a indirect spur at all. It was a complete and unreserved praise!
It was to encourage them to incur losses!
Of course, he could not say it so straightforwardly. Therefore, Pei Qian engraved these words on the golden mountain to hint that the only criterion for this award was to see who incurred the most losses.
'Golden mountain' and 'sea of money' both symbolized wealth. These two sentences together meant that there was no end to the money earned. When would it end? It would not affect Tengda Corporation if you lost more. In fact, you might even benefit from it. Therefore, please work harder!
Pei Qian felt that the hint of these two sentences was already very obvious. Anyone with a little bit of culture should be able to understand it.
At this moment, these department heads looked at this' golden mountain 'with surprise on their faces.
It seemed like this award was more prestigious than the best employee?
The custom-made trophy was engraved with words on it. What's more, it was also awarded by Boss Pei himself. It was of great significance!
Pei Qian cleared his throat and said solemnly, "Today, I'm going to award the Tengda Cornerstone Award!
"As everyone knows, Tengda has many departments that are very profitable, but there are also many departments that have been incurring losses. I think the departments that are incurring losses should also be rewarded!
"The Tengda Cornerstone Award is to be awarded to those departments that have been incurring losses. That's because only these departments are worthy of the title 'Tengda Cornerstone'!
"I hereby announce that the award-winning department for the Tengda Cornerstone Award is — Upwind Logistics!"
Pei Qian stood up, smiled at Lu Mingliang, and gestured for him to come over to receive the award.
Lu Mingliang was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that this award would be given to him.
The other department heads were also stunned for a moment, but they quickly reacted. Warm applause sounded in the conference room.
Although they were very confused, Boss Pei was presenting the award and Lu Mingliang was receiving the award.
Lu Mingliang stood up, bowed slightly, and received the heavy trophy from Boss Pei. He was just about to say something along the lines of 'I don't deserve it' when Pei Qian interrupted him with a smile.
"There's no need for a speech of thanks. All of Tengda's employees will remember your contributions."
Lu Mingliang returned to his seat with the trophy, stunned.
Pei Qian did not allow him to say a speech of thanks mainly because he did not want him to say things like 'I don't deserve it' or 'I'll work harder to turn losses into profits'. That would destroy the atmosphere that Pei Qian had worked so hard to create.
Seeing that the other department heads were so envious that they were twisting, Pei Qian smiled slightly and continued to speak. "Other than this trophy, there are other rewards.
"All of Upwind Logistics' employees will receive two thousand yuan as a cornerstone award and a Koi Medal! On top of that, Upwind Logistics will also receive thirty Otto E1 cell phones.
They will be rewarded to employees who have made outstanding contributions in the department! "
The other department heads were even more envious when they heard this.
These benefits were too good!
Forget about the two thousand yuan, there was even a 'Koi Medal'? And thirty Otto E1 cell phones?
To Tengda's employees, cash rewards were not very attractive. However, such honorary rewards, especially those given by Boss Pei personally, were extremely attractive to them!
Pei Qian's gaze swept across the various department heads, who were obviously envious, and his lips curled into a smile.
It was obvious that they were anxious.
That was because these departments felt that they had made great contributions to Tengda, mainly in terms of earning money.
However, Boss Pei had pointed out that the cornerstone award had to be given to the department that had incurred the most losses.
How could they be convinced?!
"That's right, don't be convinced!
"Are you jealous, jealous, and feeling unbalanced? You can also risk your lives to incur losses!
"As long as all the departments are consciously incurring losses, why should I work so hard?
"Hurry, everyone, hurry up and compete!"
The corners of Pei Qian's mouth curled up slightly as he thought happily.
However, he looked around and realized that everyone was staring at him as if they were waiting for him to give a reasonable explanation.
Oh? Waiting for the plot to change?
Sorry, no!
Pei Qian stood up directly. "Alright, that's all for today's short meeting. You may all leave."
With that, he turned and left the conference room.
The department heads were left looking at each other with different expressions.
