September 12th, Monday …
The first group stage of GOG's international invitational tournament had reached the third day of competition.
Many people in Fei Huang Workspace were watching the international invitational tournament on their computers.
The video exposing the formaldehyde rooms in residential apartments would be finished in a day or two, and most people's work was done.
Therefore, those who were free could watch the competition and relax.
Fei Huang Workspace would burst into exclamations every time the competition reached a climax.
Zhu Xiaoce was waiting for the video to be exported with the post-production staff.
The editing and post-production had been completed, but it was still unknown whether the video would be satisfactory after export. They might have to fine-tune it two or three times before it could be published online if they wanted to improve it.
It was boring to wait for the video to be exported, so the two of them were also watching GOG's international invitational tournament.
"This competition is really good. All the details are in place. Shang Yang Games must have put in a lot of effort," the editor said.
Zhu Xiaoce nodded. "That's right. GOG's international invitational tournament has shown its face around the world this time. None of the previous esports competitions were able to do this. Boss Pei is very ambitious this time!"
"However, it's not strange when you think about the whole street in Times Square. Boss Pei has long thought about burning a lot of money to promote GOG. It would be strange if this international invitational tournament was too small."
Jiang Huan was being interviewed on the live-stream.
All kinds of bullet screen comments quickly floated by, covering the entire screen.
"It's here, DGE's strongest man!"
"The way to judge strength is very simple. You only need to follow two laws: DGE's first law is that the DGE Club is made up of muscular men, so the overall muscle mass and strength of all professional players in all clubs are proportional; DGE's second law is that the weakest person in the DGE Club has the most extra training, so the overall muscle mass and strength of all muscular men are inversely proportional!"
"Jiang Huan belongs to the category of muscular men, but he has the least muscle mass in the team. That means that he has the least extra training in the DGE Club. This kind of strength can be described in four words: unfathomable and terrifying!"
"An e-sports competition can actually use body size to judge the strength of a player. That's f * cking ridiculous!"
"I'm really curious about the DGE Club now. They're invincible in online competitions, offline competitions, solo competitions, and group battles! Everyone can be the MVP if they're distributed to different teams. How terrifying would that be if they were all in one team! "
"Do you want to know about the Performance Competition? That's precious historical information! "
"Is this the legendary 'gathering is a ball of fire, scattering is a sky full of stars'?"
"A mysterious club that doesn't participate in competitions and only relies on selling members to earn money. What a moneymaker!"
Zhu Xiaoce couldn't help but laugh when he saw the jokes on the bullet screen.
The idiotic netizens were really good at creating jokes!
Huang Wang already had the reputation of being a 'boxer'. In the first two days of the competition, many people dug into the ten members of the DGE Club and found that all of them had appeared in this international invitational tournament. What's more, all of them had MVP-level performances in the competition.
That was ridiculous!
Most of the time, when two teams fought, it depended on which DGE Club member was more powerful.
Every post-match interview, the audience would look expectantly at the player being interviewed. Sure enough, it was another muscular man!
Just by looking at his muscles, one could be sure that he was definitely a former member of the DGE Club!
His muscles were simply a walking billboard. Wherever he went, the advertisements of the DGE Club and Deposit Fitness would be there.
What was even more ridiculous was that before the start of many competitions, the audience would shout 'Go DGE!' after cheering for both teams. It became a trend.
The winner was king in e-sports, and the audience naturally worshipped the strong. Rookies did not deserve applause.
For example, the DGE Club did not participate in the competition, but every member could affect the direction of the competition. That made DGE's position in the hearts of the audience infinitely higher.
They were strong and had jokes. After a few days of competition, the DGE Club had more fans than all the other clubs combined!
Zhu Xiaoce was envious. "The atmosphere is so good. It's a pity that I have to edit the film and have no time to watch it."
The editor asked curiously, "Director Zhu, is the Deposit Fitness really that good? These players have only been training for a few months. Why is it more obvious than me who has been training for nearly a year? "
Tengda had applied for fitness cards for all employees before, so the employees more or less had some fitness habits.
However, many people's bodies did not change much even after training for so long.
Zhu Xiaoce smiled. "How did you train? Sometimes, you can't even go for two days a week, and you're not particular about your meals. How do they train? They have a strict training schedule, and they can only eat matching fitness meals. The daily training volume is arranged. Can the effect of ordinary gyms compare to Deposit Fitness?
"But don't worry, Deposit Fitness is about to be opened as an employee benefit. Tengda headquarters has already started trying it. Boss Pei tried to open Deposit Fitness branches near various companies for this purpose."
The editor was stunned. "Huh? Is that so? Why haven't I heard about this? "
Zhu Xiaoce said, "I heard from Guo Licheng that Boss Pei planned to wait and see before letting the employees use these gyms after he arranged for the branches. In the end, the gyms were already full before he could arrange for the employees to enter."
"Deposit Fitness' reputation was accumulating. The popularity of Tengda Life App and Fish-Catching Take-Out also provided Deposit Fitness with a high reputation. The slots for peak periods were already full.
"The competition some time ago ignited the popularity of Deposit Fitness. On one hand, the team members' figures were too conspicuous, and the advertising effect was too good. On the other hand, many people asked around and found that the fitness effect was indeed immediate. Those who used it said it was good. Therefore, many people signed up these two days!
"You don't know how difficult it is to get a spot in Deposit Fitness now.
"I have to say that Boss Pei's publicity strategy is really calm. Think about it, it would not be effective to advertise something like a gym. People would not believe it. However, it would be amazing if you could train the internet-addicted teenagers into muscular men.
"People who want to work out would see that even internet-addicted teenagers who don't like to exercise could train like this. I can definitely do it too! They would ask their friends around them, and they all said that Deposit Fitness would improve as long as they persevere. They would definitely sign up even if it was more expensive.
"However, only Boss Pei could use this method. How could ordinary gyms be patient and spend a few months to train internet-addicted teenagers? They were all thinking of making quick money. They might have already finished applying for fitness cards in a few months and were ready to run away.
"However, Boss Pei is different. He obviously has a long-term goal. Even if he had been incurring losses for a few months, he could still maintain his composure and build reputation!
"Now, the photos of the DGE Club members' bodies in the gym are going viral on the internet. This is a living advertisement!"
The editor also nodded frequently. "Indeed, Boss Pei's move is really brilliant. He used the popularity of the world finals to publicize both the DGE Club and Deposit Fitness.
"So, when will this good thing happen to our internal employees?"
Zhu Xiaoce said confidently. "Don't worry, Boss Pei will not forget us. The Deposit Fitness is full now, and he will definitely continue to open branches for us to use. It's just a matter of sooner or later.
"I heard that Boss Pei also intends to use the Sloth Apartments as an employee dormitory, but he is still in the wait-and-see period."
The editor was a little puzzled. "Why is he still in the wait-and-see period? What is Boss Pei waiting for? "
Zhu Xiaoce could not answer it either. He thought about it and said, "Maybe he is waiting to see if this business model can succeed first. He will use it to distribute employee benefits after it is confirmed to be successful.
"Maybe there is something unique about the Sloth Apartments model that needs to be tested."
Both of them were chatting when an employee suddenly ran over.
"Director Zhu, look at this! Someone is actually one step faster than us! "
Zhu Xiaoce was stunned and took the cell phone to check.
The title of the video was' Rental Housing Formaldehyde Evaluation: Home Safe House, Snail Apartments, and six other rental companies; only one passed! '
The publisher was a domestic technology review media.
Zhu Xiaoce was stunned because he knew that this technology review media had a good reputation in the digital circle.
However, why did the technology review media come to test for formaldehyde?
This was a video that was nearly half an hour long, and the content in it was almost the same as the video that Fei Huang Workspace was producing.
First, some consumers exposed excessive formaldehyde in the rental houses and health problems, including the employees of this review media, who also lived in formaldehyde houses.
After that, this review media began to recruit volunteers to test the formaldehyde houses.
However, compared to Fei Huang Workspace, they did not target Home Corporation. Instead, they conducted spot checks on all six rental companies, including Home Corporation's Safe House and Snail Apartments.
The final result was that Home Corporation's Safe House, where the formaldehyde in the houses within three months had exceeded the standard. Half of the houses had exceeded the standard for three to six months, and one house had exceeded the standard for more than six months.
The smaller Snail Apartments, which followed the same model as Home Corporation's Safe House, also exceeded the standard for formaldehyde.
Only Sloth Apartments passed the test, and the standard was obviously lower than the national standard!
Finally, the review media also popularized some basic knowledge, such as the best way to eliminate formaldehyde was to open the windows for ventilation. Formaldehyde removal companies could only temporarily reduce formaldehyde, but formaldehyde volatilization was a long-term process. Therefore, there was no better way to live in formaldehyde houses. It would definitely harm one's health, and one had to be careful.
Compared to Fei Huang Workspace's video, this video was not as meticulous in editing and was not as sophisticated. However, this was a very famous media in the digital circle. Basically, no one would question their fairness and objectivity.
Moreover, their video tested six rental companies, and the content presented was more comprehensive.
There was already a heated discussion below the video and on the Weibo of this review organization.
"Isn't this killing people? The formaldehyde exceeded the standard by so much. Living here for a few months might cause cancer, let alone a year! "
"How can this be called 'Safe House'? Safe for what? To die in peace? "
"I was so scared that I quickly opened the window!"
"It's true. I once worked in Safe House for a month, and a tenant kept telling me that there was a problem with the smell of the room. I went to investigate, and there really was a problem! "Then, I asked my boss, what should we do if there was a problem with our house? My boss told me not to bother and that this was the rule of the industry. "Then, I resigned. I lacked money, but I didn't lack money to the point where I would kill for it!"
"Now that I think about it, when I looked at the Safe House project previously, the house was still under renovation, and the smell was especially strong. "Then, the agent told me that I could move in the day after tomorrow if I signed the contract. He even promised to send a formaldehyde removal company over to remove the formaldehyde. Hehe, luckily, I didn't move in!"
"Snail Apartments had always claimed that it had a conscience and was better than the 'Safe House'. Now, this test result is a slap in the face. They're all jackals of the same tribe! "
"Sloth Apartments' tests all meet the national standards? This is too f * cking ridiculous. Didn't they just finish renovating less than a month and a half ago? "
"In theory, it's possible to use environmentally friendly materials for renovation materials and furniture. Coupled with a fresh air system that constantly ventilates, it's just that the price is higher."
"Yes, the video also introduced it. It seems like the fresh air in Sloth Apartments is non-stop 24/7, and the furniture is all high-end."
"In the end, Boss Pei is still the kindest! During this period, all sorts of negative comments about Sloth Apartments have been everywhere. They talk about IQ tax, raising rent, cutting leeks from fans, and so on. What a bunch of demons dancing around. Now that the test results are out, it's a slap in the face! "
"Indeed, Tengda's physical industry might not be cheap, but it must be of high quality! Take this house for example. If not for the professional review media exposing this matter, who would know that the difference between Safe House and Sloth Apartments would be so huge? "
"Ai, speaking of this, I can't help but feel emotional. Most of the time, it's not that Tengda does well; it's all because of its peers!"
The netizens were extremely emotional.
That was because most of the people renting houses were young people, especially those in first-tier cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. Their demand for rental houses was especially huge.
Young people had a higher demand for housing. Usually, no one wanted to live in old and dilapidated houses. They all wanted to live in better-renovated houses. That was why Home Corporation's' Safe House 'and' Snail Apartments' came into being and became popular among young people.
However, who would have thought that these were all gold and jade on the outside but rotten inside?
They looked well renovated, but in fact, they were cutting corners in places that were not visible, seriously harming the lives and health of consumers.
Moreover, young people were the main group of people online. When they saw this news, they were all furious. Of course, this popularity exploded instantly!
After watching the video, the editor fainted.
"Director Zhu, this … what about our video?"
