November 4th, Friday …
Pei Qian finished his brunch at Fish-Catching Internet Cafe and walked to the office.
Ma Yang's live-stream yesterday was rather successful.
Although it was not very popular, the response was very good. What's more, the live-stream video was also uploaded to Aili Island and other major platforms.
Those toxic stationery brands were exposed overnight. Some of the more famous stationery manufacturers even sent out urgent notices, saying that they would investigate this matter thoroughly.
Although they had not given a satisfactory answer or compensation, at least this matter was exposed. Many people knew about it. That was a good thing.
However, Ma Yang's live-stream's popularity ended here.
It caused a wave of discussion within a small circle, but it did not become popular on a large scale. It earned some reputation, but it did not earn much money or traffic.
Pei Qian felt that it was acceptable.
After a while, Old Ma would offend more manufacturers. When all sorts of defamation articles were published, Pei Qian would then be able to see if this model could incur losses.
He had not planned to go to the office at first. However, he received a message from Hao Yun when he was eating. She said that she had something to report to him about Tengda's recruitment examinations.
Pei Qian happened to have nothing to do so he strolled to the office, wanting to hear what Hao Yun had to say.
Hao Yun knocked on his door not long after he entered the office.
"Boss Pei, these are some hidden problems that our department discovered during Tengda's recruitment examinations. We have not thought of a good solution for the time being. That's why we're reporting to you."
Pei Qian reached out to take the report. He listened to Hao Yun's report and browsed through it quickly.
The more he listened, the more magical he felt.
The teaching materials for Tengda's recruitment examinations had become an industrial chain?
These training institutions were even eyeing the Tengda Spirit Test?
It looked like Tengda was indeed a very influential enterprise. That was because more and more people wanted to join Tengda and become official employees. That, in turn, gave birth to a new industry.
Pei Qian could not help but frown, a little worried.
People who bought these guidance materials and attended training classes were indeed more likely to score high in the written examinations. That was without a doubt.
However, didn't that mean that the people who passed the examinations were more likely to be hardworking?
However, there was no other way. Tengda's reputation for good welfare had already spread. Many people wanted to get in.
No matter how much they changed the content of the exam and the rules of selection, they might not be the best group of people, but they would definitely be the least bad and the most well-rounded group of people.
This was a little unsolvable.
What's more, Pei Qian disliked the behavior of these training institutions. In essence, this was the same as what many 'super high schools' were doing.
The quota was limited, but when some people started the "arms race", the others were forced to follow suit. This formed a kind of entanglement. Everyone was tired, but no one got any benefits.
Although this did not stop Pei Qian from incurring losses, it made him a little unhappy.
Seeing that Boss Pei remained silent, Hao Yun's expression turned serious. "Boss Pei, have you noticed it as well?"
"?"
What did I notice?
Hao Yun continued, "Boss Pei, I think it's increasingly important to clean up the company's internal culture and resist external temptations!
"A publishing company approached Wu Bin yesterday, wanting to spend a lot of money to buy the Tengda spirit test questions. Fortunately, Wu Bin was strong-willed and rejected them.
"However, this will definitely not be the last time. Some people in key positions in Tengda might not be able to resist such temptations. We have to guard against such risks in advance! "
Pei Qian blinked.
Oh, that's what you're talking about …
He had not thought about this before. Now that he thought about it, it did seem to be a problem.
"What do you think we should do?" Pei Qian asked.
Obviously, Hao Yun had already thought about this problem. She immediately answered, "Boss Pei, I think there are two main ways.
"First, strengthen the supervision of the human resources department and administrative departments over the various departments and key positions in Tengda. Strictly prevent any betrayal of the company's interests or abuse of power for personal gain.
"Second, strengthen the ideological education of the employees so that they realize the seriousness of this matter and clarify the consequences and punishments.
"As for the specific punishments, I suggest that we establish different punishment mechanisms for different kinds of mistakes. If it's light, we'll deduct money; if it's heavy, we'll fire them. The punishment for different degrees of violations must be clearly distinguished. If there's any violation, we must report it immediately. We must not tolerate it."
Pei Qian fell into deep thought again.
Breaking the law and committing a crime had to be severely punished because the system had explicitly prohibited it.
As for employees taking advantage of their positions to earn some money, how should they be dealt with?
For example, someone from a training organization had approached Wu Bin yesterday, hoping that he could help produce training materials for the Tengda Spirit test. If Wu Bin had agreed, how should this matter be handled? How should he be punished?
That was the problem that Pei Qian was struggling with now.
Strengthening the supervision of the human resources department and administrative departments over the various departments and positions would definitely not work.
What if the slacking employees stopped slacking then?
However, it did not seem right to completely ignore it.
Pei Qian cleared his throat. "How about this? I don't think there's a need to establish different punishment mechanisms. Anyone who uses his position for personal gain — no matter how much money he earns, no matter how serious it is — should be fired immediately and never hired again!
"Of course, you have to compensate them if they're fired. After all, they're employees who have more or less contributed to Tengda.
"As for ideological education, you guys can do as you see fit. You don't have to be too serious about it."
Pei Qian was thinking that if he really encountered such a situation, he could just fire them directly!
In any case, those who could really use their position for personal gain were definitely people who occupied more important positions in the company. The fact that such people could work for so long meant that they were capable. Pei Qian could find a reason to fire capable people so that they wouldn't delay him from losing money.
What's more, he could give them full compensation when he left. That would be making the best use of their talents and resources.
Spending more was better. No matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat!
Hao Yun was inexplicably touched. She nodded. "I understand, Boss Pei!"
Boss Pei might have said it casually, but Hao Yun felt that there was another meaning in his words.
Boss Pei rejected the suggestion of 'strengthening supervision'. That meant that in Boss Pei's opinion, strengthening internal management and preventing profiteering were important, but maintaining a free and spiritual working atmosphere within the company was more important.
As for why he did not use a graded punishment mechanism?
Obviously, in Boss Pei's opinion, no matter how minor the profiteering was, it had to be severely punished!
Other companies would think of ways to protect employees who were capable but morally flawed. This was not about being humane, but protecting the company's interests.
After all, if an executive in a key position was replaced, the person who replaced him might not be up to the task. What's more, such a change would definitely affect their daily work.
However, this would actually have a negative impact on the company's internal atmosphere. They would not be absolutely impartial.
This was also where Boss Pei was different from other bosses.
On one hand, he was impartial and did not care about old friendships. As long as someone used their position for personal gain, he would immediately fire them regardless of the position. He would not care about old friendships at all.
On the other hand, if it was just a mistake, there would be no punishment. Even if they were fired, they would be given sufficient compensation as a form of gratitude and gratitude to their colleagues. This also showed Boss Pei's humane attitude towards his employees.
On further thought, this was the best way to deal with the situation according to the Tengda spirit!
Looking at Hao Yun's complicated expression, Pei Qian felt that his words had probably been misinterpreted again.
However, it did not matter. He was already used to it.
Hao Yun asked again, "Then, Boss Pei, do we still need to deal with the training institutions outside that are using our recruitment test questions to make profits?"
Pei Qian thought for a moment and shook his head. "It's not too big of an impact for now. Don't worry about it for now. I'll think about it first."
The behavior of these training institutions had created an ecosystem among the Tengda candidates. What's more, they were using Tengda candidates to make profits. Pei Qian felt disgusted.
However, the impact was relatively small at the moment. What's more, Pei Qian had not thought of a good solution. He could only put it aside for now and think about it when he had good ideas.
Hao Yun turned to leave.
"Wait."
Pei Qian suddenly thought of a question and stopped her. "The passing rate of the Tengda spirit test has been 100% recently. Do you have any thoughts on this matter?"
Pei Qian had been suspicious about this for a long time.
However, he had never thought of a possible reason.
Logically speaking, the Tengda spirit test was so difficult. How could one pass 100%?
However, the truth was that a large number of newcomers had passed the test on their first try. The worst of them had passed the final test within a month. Not a single one of them had been eliminated.
That was very strange.
Hao Yun froze and quickly said, "Perhaps … everyone has a deeper understanding of the Tengda spirit? After all, the atmosphere of the entire company is subtly influencing these new employees. "
Pei Qian nodded slightly.
That was indeed possible.
"Yes, it's alright," Pei Qian said.
Hao Yun heaved a sigh of relief and turned to leave.
Pei Qian opened the platform of the Tengda spirit test again and looked at the questions that had been changed many times.
In fact, Pei Qian often changed these questions. Sometimes, he would change a few keywords for the same question, and then the answer would change. Sometimes, he would simply come up with new questions.
However, no matter how he changed them, the new employees would always pass the test.
Pei Qian had secretly checked the employees in charge of this function many times. There was indeed no possibility of the questions being leaked.
Therefore, the employees all understood the Tengda spirit. That was why they passed the test. That was the most likely explanation.
Here was the problem. Since the employees understood the Tengda spirit of slacking, why was he still earning money?
Pei Qian could not figure out what was going on.
"No, there must be something going on here!
I can't just let this go! "
The more Pei Qian thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
Perhaps the Tengda spirit had been misunderstood?
Perhaps these people had accidentally thought of another solution, and it just so happened to match my answer?
That was not impossible!
At that thought, Pei Qian immediately began to think of countermeasures.
A moment later, he sent a message to the TPDb employee in charge of this function.
"Modify the Tengda spirit test and complete it before this batch of new employees enters the company.
"Reduce the number of questions and extend the answering time. Leave an input box under each question as a subjective question. Ask them to write in detail why they chose this option! "
