October 18th, Tuesday …
Qiao Liang dragged his suitcase and stepped onto Jingzhou's soil again.
"Jingzhou, I, Teacher Qiao, am back again!
"Eh, why did I say again?"
For some reason, Qiao Liang felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with Jingzhou.
After returning to the Imperial Capital, he sold all the things in his house that could be sold and returned the rent. He sent his computer, his collection of figurines, and other treasures to Jingzhou. Then, he dragged his own suitcase and brought along some clothes.
For some reason, Qiao Liang suddenly felt relaxed.
He bid farewell to the messy rental house completely and returned to the clean and tidy Sloth Apartments to start a new life!
In July this year, the high-speed rail station in Jingzhou was officially opened, making the journey from Beijing to Jingzhou more convenient.
This was the first time Qiao Liang came to Jingzhou's high-speed rail station. He followed the signs in the station to the taxi waiting area.
Many people were waiting in line for taxis. Qiao Liang dragged his suitcase to the end of the line and suddenly saw a huge billboard next to him.
"Jingzhou City's New Business Card!"
This seemed to be a series of billboards. The billboard closest to Qiao Liang was a famous scenic spot in Jingzhou. There was a line of artistic introduction below the billboard.
"Historical City, Jingzhou with Ancient Charm."
Looking forward, another billboard was a famous scenic spot in Jingzhou. Blue sky, white clouds, green hills, and green water. There was also a line of artistic introduction below.
"Poetry, Landscape, Beautiful Jingzhou."
Qiao Liang looked at the rows of billboards as the queue continued to move forward.
The billboards behind had the city's night view of the high-tech zone. The slogan was' Industrial Upgrade, Innovative Jingzhou '; the aerial view of Handong University. The slogan was' Apply Learning, Teach Jingzhou ', and so on.
Qiao Liang continued to walk forward. After passing these billboards, Qiao Liang's eyes suddenly lit up.
The slogan of the billboard in front of him was' Healthy Life, Livable Jingzhou '. The content of the billboard was actually the content of Tengda Life App!
In the center of the billboard was a cell phone screen. The screen was' Tengda Life App '. The labels extended from this app were various industries related to Tengda Life, including Sloth Apartments, Deposit Fitness, Fish-Catching Take-Out, and so on.
Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment and quickly took out his cell phone to take a photo.
"Awesome!"
Such city-level publicity was definitely not something that Tengda could come up with on its own.
Obviously, Tengda's concept of healthy living and these very advanced physical industries had become Jingzhou's new business card and part of the city's culture!
The concept of a city's name card was actually the appearance of the city as a whole, seeking more opportunities to show itself. It was not a packaging in the traditional sense. To be more precise, it was a comprehensive, three-dimensional, and special brand publicity complex.
In this concept, "lifestyle" was a crucial factor. It was the carrier of the city's own characteristics and values. People living in the city used "lifestyle" as a carrier to complete their psychological identification with the city.
On the other hand, Tengda's lifestyle-related industries had obviously had a very profound impact on the lifestyles of the people in Jingzhou. It was reasonable for them to become the city's business card.
Being able to become Jingzhou's city's business card was more than just advertising on billboards.
This also meant that Tengda Corporation had been recognized by the city of Jingzhou. In the future, it would be a benchmark enterprise in all aspects. It would receive all kinds of benefits and support. It could better establish itself in Jingzhou and radiate its influence throughout the province and even the country.
"It looks like Boss Pei's strategy of 'establishing a foothold in Jingzhou and developing in multiple ways' has worked!"
"Is this a strategic vision?"
Qiao Liang could not help but feel emotional.
If Boss Pei had worked hard to open Fish-Catching Internet Cafe all over the country and not involved in other industries after the initial success of Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, there would not have been a "Tengda Life". It was very likely that he would not have been recognized as a city's business card.
Qiao Liang got into a taxi and headed to Sloth Apartments.
A new life in Jingzhou was about to begin!
…
At the same time, Pei Qian was rubbing his temples in his office, feeling a headache coming on.
This time, it was not just about Jingzhou's city's business card.
In the previous cycle, the 'Tengda Life App' had become a hit. Fish-Catching Take-Out, Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, Sloth Apartments, Deposit Fitness, GOG's International Invitational Tournament, Thriller Hostel, and so on had all become very famous.
This series of actions had also made Jingzhou very famous across the country. Therefore, not only did Jingzhou make Tengda a city's business card, but it also gave Tengda the title of 'Outstanding Enterprise in Jingzhou'. It also reduced a batch of taxes for Tengda, a big taxpayer!
If Pei Qian had heard this news in the previous cycle, he would probably have fainted on the spot.
Fortunately, this cycle had just begun. Thus, Pei Qian was only stunned for a moment and quickly adjusted.
Fortunately, fortunately!
There was still a long time before settlement. The problem was not big.
However, this also added some variables to the original spending plan.
What's more, Pei Qian had to take care of Tengda Life App.
Yu Pingan had screwed Pei Qian over in the previous cycle. The 'Top Student, Come Quick' application, which had already failed, integrated Tengda's physical industry, changed its name, and was reborn.
Now, Tengda Life App had gained so much attention. Its future development prospects were bright. If he did not take care of it, who knew what kind of trouble it would cause in the future!
Therefore, Pei Qian felt that he had to do something.
In line with the principle of 'whoever makes money, spends it', he had to find something new for Tengda Life App so that they would not continue to work on this project.
At that thought, Pei Qian called Yu Pingan and asked him to come to his office.
…
An hour later, Yu Pingan arrived.
"Boss Pei!"
Yu Pingan's face was full of smiles. Who would not feel proud to be used as a city's business card in Jingzhou?
From the 'Top Student, Come Quick' application to the Tengda Life App, this team had been successful several times.
In Yu Pingan's opinion, this kind of success did not rely on luck. It all relied on Boss Pei's foresight and the efforts of all the employees!
Pei Qian gestured for Yu Pingan to sit down and asked, "How's work recently?"
Yu Pingan quickly answered, "Boss Pei, everything is going well! The number of active users of Tengda Life App is steadily increasing, especially in Jingzhou. Our app's influence is getting bigger and bigger!
"Of course, our team will not take it lightly, let alone be arrogant.
"I have made a very perfect update plan!
"At present, there are still many problems with Tengda Life App. We have two main goals next. The first is to simplify and optimize the interface layout so that our users can use it more conveniently. The second is to further deepen cooperation with various industries and launch more practical functions …"
The more Pei Qian listened, the more dangerous he felt.
Tengda Life App was not making a lot of money at the moment, but its problem was that it would make the physical industry make a lot of money!
Therefore, he had to find something else for the team to do.
Pei Qian coughed lightly: "Well, your plan is quite good, but I have a new project for you."
Yu Pingan was stunned: "Boss Pei, please tell me."
He was a little confused.
It stood to reason that Tengda Life App was so successful. Shouldn't it be time to increase manpower and capital investment?
Why did he want to do a new project?
Was it a project related to Tengda Life App?
Yu Pingan did not ask much and listened carefully.
Pei Qian paused and said, "I want to do a new project, including a web page and a mobile app. The name is … 'Useful'."
Yu Pingan: "Useful App? Then … what is the use of it? "
Pei Qian explained: "This idea actually originated from some unpleasant experiences when I used Qiandu to search for information.
"The Internet is now full of all kinds of garbage. The same article is repeatedly reposted and washed by dozens of websites so that when you search for keywords, you can't find what you want at all.
"Therefore, I think someone has to stand up and change this situation!"
Yu Pingan was stunned: "Then … Boss Pei, are you going to make a product similar to a search engine?"
Pei Qian shook his head: "Although there are many problems with the current search engine itself, we can't solve this problem even if we make a conscientious search engine.
"If 99% of the things on the Internet are worthless garbage, then how good of an algorithm do we have to use to search for the 1% of things that are worthless? That's unrealistic.
"Therefore, we won't do a search engine, we will do content production."
It stood to reason that there was a high probability of losing money by making a search engine.
Qiandu had many problems, but it was very strong in terms of technical accumulation in the search engine field. Many big companies had tried to make search engines, but without exception, they could not shake Qiandu's position.
However, Pei Qian felt that it was better to be safe than sorry.
Tengda already had an excellent reputation. Considering TPDb and other factors, many people might use it if it launched a search engine.
What's more, a search engine was a window. What if it linked with existing industries? This was a big risk.
Yu Pingan thought about it: "Then … maybe we can make a Q&A platform? Although we already have Qiandu Encyclopedia and Qiandu Q&A products, we can still continue to do it. "
Pei Qian said: "We want to make a combination of the 'encyclopedia' and the 'Q&A' model, and we have three requirements.
"First, we have to create a closed environment and divide our users into two parts: one is the creator, and the other is the viewer. All of them have to be authenticated with their real names, and if they want to be a creator, they have to prove their professional ability to the reviewers. They can only answer questions in their own field and edit entries in their field.
"Second, we have to protect intellectual property rights as much as possible. We don't allow copying and pasting to prevent reposting and theft. If someone really wants to steal, we have to hold the person responsible and ask for compensation at all costs.
"Finally, we have to charge all users. If they don't pay, they can't watch. These membership fees will be given back to the creators.
