September 27th, Tuesday …
Pei Qian came to the company on a whim today and checked the results of the recent Tengda Spirit compatibility test on the computer.
Ever since Tengda's recruitment changed from free recruitment to a unified examination, there had been two large-scale recruitment in November and May.
The employees recruited recently had also become official employees of Tengda Corporation.
Of course, the administrative and human resources departments were in charge of the relevant arrangements, such as expanding office space, arranging work positions, purchasing office supplies, and distributing salaries and benefits. Pei Qian basically did not ask if he could spend more money, except when he asked if he could spend more money.
That was because he really did not have the energy to care about these things. There was no need for him to care.
However, Pei Qian suddenly thought of a problem today.
Why did it seem like no employee had been eliminated in the Tengda Spirit compatibility test until now?
This test did not seem to be that easy to use?
Pei Qian flipped through the records. Indeed, only the earliest batch of employees were stuck at the Tengda Spirit compatibility test. The passing rate was very low at the beginning, but they still passed the test by a hair's breadth and were not eliminated.
The latest batch of new employees who took the exam in May all passed the Tengda Spirit compatibility test on the first try!
That was ridiculous!
Pei Qian had racked his brains and buried countless traps in order to come up with this set of questions.
As long as the respondent had the slightest bit of workplace inertia, it would be difficult to pass the test.
What's more, the question bank was constantly changing. Only Pei Qian had standard answers. Every time the respondent finished answering, even if they passed, it was impossible for them to know which question they had answered correctly and which question they had answered wrongly.
Under such circumstances, how did these newcomers all pass on the first try?
Pei Qian felt that there were only two possibilities if there was no leakage of the questions:
The first was that the people recruited happened to be slackers.
That was too optimistic. The possibility was almost zero. Pei Qian would not lie to himself.
The second was that these people were not slackers in the first place, but they had been reformed and groomed by the various departments to become slackers.
That was more likely.
The problem was, since the various departments had become slackers and the new employees had been groomed to be slackers, why was Tengda Corporation still thriving and thriving?
Could it be that Tengda Corporation had become a magical company where everyone could work together and allow the company to survive and develop?
This idea was a little ridiculous, but it could not be said to be completely unreasonable.
After all, that was what the "Matthew effect" referred to.
He had to think about it carefully.
Pei Qian spent two hours updating the entire question bank, including some of the questions. He changed a few keywords, and the answers became completely different.
Once he was done, Pei Qian submitted the question bank again.
Although it seemed like there was little hope of using the Tengda Spirit compatibility test to dissuade employees, he could not give up hope.
"Du du du."
There was a knock on the office door. Assistant Xin pushed the door open and entered.
"Boss Pei, Central TV's Financial Observation wants to do a special episode for our company.
"The production team wanted to use Tengda Corporation's slogan as the title, so they asked me. But our company doesn't have a slogan yet. "
"Would you like to think of one?"
Pei Qian turned to look at Assistant Xin after uploading the mental strength test. A question mark slowly floated above his head.
？
Financial Observation Segment?
Why is it a television station again!
Forget about Jingzhou TV Station. Now, even Central TV was here?
Did he want me dead?!
Pei Qian's face darkened. "Reject!"
"Er …" Assistant Xin hesitated. "Boss Pei, you might not understand. Financial Observation is an analytical program, not an interview. It doesn't need you or any Tengda employees to appear. Even if we don't provide this slogan as the title, the production team will set their own title and broadcast it. "
Pei Qian was stunned.
That could be done?
Was this acting first and reporting later?
In other words, the program would be broadcast as usual whether I cooperate or not?
Pei Qian remained silent for a moment and asked. "Then … can we discuss with them not to broadcast this episode?"
Assistant Xin smiled. "I'm afraid not."
Pei Qian leaned back in his chair, feeling melancholy.
It looked like this was not a discussion but a notice.
Alright, you just want a slogan, right? Here you go.
I'll give you a ridiculous slogan on behalf of Tengda Corporation. If you dare to use it, I'll respect your production team for being real men.
Pei Qian thought for a moment and said, "Tengda Corporation's slogan is: Always believe that strange things are about to happen."
Even the experienced and knowledgeable Assistant Xin subconsciously froze for a moment.
The so-called slogan could be translated as a slogan or slogan, but the translated meaning could not fully reflect the original meaning of the word.
To be more specific, it was to convey the company's philosophy through short and condensed words, emphasizing the most outstanding characteristics of the company and its products, and establishing brand characteristics to attract customers.
If we use social media as an example, the logo is the profile picture, the brand name is the nickname, and the slogan is the signature.
A good slogan had to be closely related to the characteristics of the company or product. It had to be simple, easy to read, understand, and remember so that customers could see the core value of the brand at first glance.
It was not only a promotional slogan, but also a slogan that embodied the core spirit of the entire company.
For example, the sentence "JUST!
IT "was a good slogan.
On the other hand, Tengda Corporation did not have a very clear slogan even though it had many industries and different industries had their own characteristics.
However, Boss Pei's slogan …
Always believe that something inexplicable is about to happen?
This sentence gave people the feeling that it was as inexplicable as the content it described.
"Boss Pei, are you sure you want to use this slogan?"
This slogan was a little too ridiculous, so it triggered a second confirmation mechanism that Assistant Xin rarely used.
Pei Qian nodded. "That's right, that's it!"
Assistant Xin did not ask further. She nodded and left.
She could predict that the people from the Financial Observation segment would be as shocked as she was when they heard this slogan.
…
The final destination …
Ma Yiqun welcomed Wu Bin, Cui Geng, and Lu Mingliang in and then quickly closed the door of his office.
After that, he took out a few books from a locked drawer and distributed them to everyone.
A few words were written on the cover of the book: 'A Preliminary Exploration of the Tengda Spirit'!
The so-called 'preliminary exploration' meant preliminary exploration. It was usually used as the title of a thesis to express humility.
The use of 'preliminary exploration' here was obviously to emphasize the breadth and depth of the Tengda spirit. These were only preliminary explorations of the Tengda spirit. Apart from the contents of the book, they could continue to dig deeper.
He reminded the readers that they should only treat this book as an inspiration and not a doctrine.
Wu Bin reached out to take it, looking pleasantly surprised. "It's already printed? That's fast! "
He stroked the cover happily. This was the result of months of hard work! He finally saw a physical book!
Ma Yiqun nodded. "Yes, we saved a lot of time because we did not publish it. As we agreed before, we only printed a small number of two hundred copies and distributed them to the core employees and good friends of Boss Pei like Boss Li.
"If you can't distribute them all, lock them up and keep them. Don't distribute them indiscriminately."
Although there was not much content in this book and there was nothing against the rules, they had to obtain a permit if they wanted to print it in bulk according to the relevant regulations. Otherwise, they would violate the regulations.
Many people secretly printed books without permission. Strictly speaking, it was against the regulations even if they only read it themselves.
Therefore, Ma Yiqun discussed with Wu Bin and felt that it was better to publish the book through proper channels and at their own expense.
There were three stages of writing, publishing, and distributing a book at one's own expense. The so-called distribution was to enter the sales terminal market through distribution channels and face customers directly. One needed to spend money on promotion and distribution.
However, the book 'A Preliminary Exploration of the Tengda Spirit' was not expected to make money. It was not even expected to be widely distributed. It was only for core members to communicate and learn. Therefore, it was only published and not distributed.
There were three points in this book that were worth mentioning:
It was clearly written on the first page of the book that this was only a preliminary interpretation of the Tengda spirit. It could only serve as an inspiration. Do not fall into dogmatic thinking. Instead, one had to continuously experience, expand, and dig deeper in work.
Boss Pei's three 'world-famous paintings' were 'Countercurrent's Back View', 'Boss Pei's Lunch', and 'Boss Pei Thinking'. All of them were printed in the book as illustrations.
On the last page of the book, a long list of Boss Pei's titles was written in small print. It was easy to miss it if one did not pay attention.
Ma Yiqun said, "The printed books are basically in Lu Mingliang's warehouse. Everyone can take them according to their needs, but the whereabouts of each book must be recorded."
Wu Bin added, "Also, I have to emphasize something.
"The reason why this book is limited is not because we are afraid of leaks, but because we want to cultivate everyone's independent thinking spirit.
"One of the rules of the Tengda spirit is to 'think independently and not follow blindly'. If everyone stops thinking deeply about the Tengda spirit after getting this book, that would be another kind of blind obedience. We have to be wary of that.
"The more valuable content of this book lies in Boss Pei's actions and specific examples.
"There is no need to deliberately keep these few contents of the Tengda spirit a secret."
Wu Bin's meaning was very simple. If the 'Tengda spirit' was a secret manual, then the highly summarized sentences would at most be the names of the moves.
It would be meaningless to know the names of the moves but not the specific mental cultivation methods.
On the contrary, it would be helpful to let these highly summarized contents spread in private in an unofficial way. It was an important part of the dissemination of Tengda's corporate culture.
Everyone nodded. "Understood!"
