Liang Qingfan introduced, "The furniture manufacturers that were interested in working with us previously, the big brands among them basically rejected our conditions."
"Only some unknown small brands are willing to let our inspection team supervise and supervise them."
"We did a simple screening and selected a few more reliable ones."
"However, speaking of which, there are actually a few small brands that are very willing to cooperate with us. They are also completely under the supervision of the inspection team. They even took the initiative to invite us."
"For example, this sofa was actually designed by the boss of Fanglan Residence and I. It was just shipped over a few days ago."
Only then did Pei Qian notice that the sofa in this room was obviously different from the sofa in his own residence.
Liang Qingfan introduced. "It's a genuine leather sofa. At the same time, it's electric. The single seats on the far left and far right can be adjusted electronically. They can be very comfortable to lie on."
"Compared to the sofa in the developer's model room on the third floor, without the concubine seat, it will not look bloated. It matches the minimalist design. On the other hand, compared to the sofa in Sloth Apartments 1.0, it can meet the needs of lying on its back."
"At the same time, the sofa's legs and armrests are very thin and made of wood. The North American black walnut texture is clear, and the wood is dense and exquisite. It feels like a fine fabric to the touch. It feels very good. Not only does it have clear patterns, but it also has a natural luster. It looks and feels good."
"Apart from that, its hardness, density, and stability are also not bad. It has always been one of the high-end woods used to make furniture."
"Compared to the Sloth Apartment 1.0 model, a breakthrough this time is that I designed this sofa with the boss of Fanglan Residence. I successfully combined the black walnut armrest and the electric leather sofa. While conforming to the minimalist style, it also maximized the practicality and quality of the sofa."
"This can also be considered a product of the combination of Chinese and Western culture. I was originally worried that it would be a little unnatural after being displayed, but it looks like the effect is not bad."
Pei Qian asked, "Fanglan Residence … is a sofa brand?"
Liang Qingfan smiled and shook his head. "Oh, no. Fanglan Residence is a furniture brand that has just been established. They make sofas, cabinets, and all kinds of furniture. "
"But what's different from other furniture brands is that their boss is a designer. His greatest interest is actually in design, and he strives to create a unique style for all his furniture."
"Take this sofa for example. I tried to combine Chinese style wooden furniture with an electric sofa. This idea is quite bold. I thought it was unreliable at first, but after I started designing it, I realized that it's actually not bad."
"They are one of the manufacturers who are most eager to cooperate with Sloth Apartments. They even took the initiative to invite our inspection team to inspect their studio and factory."
Pei Qian: "Why?"
Liang Qingfan explained, "Because their product concept is completely compatible with Sloth Apartments."
"The founder of Fanglan Residence is a designer. He wants to take the high premium route. In other words, it guarantees quality, after-sales service, and design, but it's expensive. "
"But a small brand with no reputation will not be able to take this route."
"The water in the furniture industry is also very deep. Take walnut for example. Some brands claim that their furniture is made of walnut. If you ask, they will say, 'This is African black walnut, or golden walnut. It's the same type of wood as North American black walnut. It's just that the place of origin is different."
"However, in reality, not only are these trees different species, but they are also different genera and families. They are basically unrelated in terms of botany, and there is also a huge difference in appearance. Manufacturers who use such low-grade wood are often not very meticulous when making furniture. If they are not careful, the visual effect of the furniture made is not even as good as ordinary solid wood."
"Only North American black walnut is truly reliable."
"However, ordinary consumers do not understand these. They often buy the cheaper one when they compare the price."
"A brand like Fanglan Residence would not be able to support a high premium without a high reputation and reputation. After all, other furniture brands could cut corners in terms of materials. The price of the same furniture could be cut in half compared to Fanglan Residence. There is no way to compete at all."
"This is also the reason why many big brands are unwilling to cooperate with us. On one hand, big brands feel that they have a big business and there is no reason for them to be controlled by others. On the other hand, it might be because big brands also have some tricks that we can't know about."
Liang Qingfan gently stroked the armrest of the sofa. "However, it's different for Fanglan Residence. They are more confident in the materials and quality of their products. They can't wait for our inspection team to go over and do free quality inspection for them."
"What's more, after working with us, they can use Sloth Apartments' brand endorsement to prove that their products are indeed excellent."
"In other words, what they lack the most is the trust of consumers, and we can provide it to them."
Pei Qian sat on the sofa. "How much is this sofa?"
Liang Qingfan: "About thirty thousand."
Pei Qian nodded in satisfaction. "Yes, sure. We can work with this Fanglan Residence more in the future."
Wasn't this the kind of brand that he was most satisfied with?
First of all, it was of high quality and pollution-free. It ensured that the residents of Sloth Apartments would not be harmed. What's more, the furniture would not have any serious quality problems if they rented it for a long time.
Secondly, the premium was high and it was sold at a high price. That was very important.
That was because the model of Sloth Apartments was actually for Pei Qian to pay for the house, renovate it, equip it with a complete set of furniture and appliances, and then rent it to customers.
In that case, the more expensive the furniture, the more money he would have to spend!
The sofa that Pei Qian had prepared for Tengda's headquarters was priced at sixty thousand yuan. However, that was the standard for office supplies in the guest room after all. It represented the company's face, so the System gave it a high limit.
The sofa in Sloth Apartments could not be so expensive. Thirty thousand yuan was already considered relatively high.
However, compared to many ordinary sofas that cost three to five thousand yuan, a sofa that cost thirty thousand yuan was already considered very high-end.
If he spent more than twenty thousand yuan on a sofa for a house, what about a hundred houses? What about the cabinets, TV cabinets, dining tables, bookshelves, and other furniture?
Many a little makes a mickle!
Pei Qian walked around the room and nodded in satisfaction. "Yes, Sloth Apartments 2.0 is done well. Continue to push forward.
"By the way, don't neglect the previous Sloth Apartments. Remember to maintain it well. If there are any problems with the houses, the housekeepers of each building must report and deal with it in time. Don't be afraid to spend money. "
Liang Qingfan quickly nodded. "Alright, Boss Pei."

…
November 18th, Friday …
Tengda Spirit compatibility test …
The recruitment mission at the beginning of the month had been completed. Most of the new employees had been employed for more than a week and could take the first Spirit compatibility test.
Pei Qian specially made a trip to the company to see the effect of the revised Tengda Spirit test questions.
However, Pei Qian did not go to the large conference room to invigilate the test.
That was because he did not want to mislead everyone. Once everyone knew that 'Boss Pei seemed to pay special attention to the Tengda Spirit compatibility test', the situation might become even more out of control.
Therefore, Pei Qian was still in his office, pretending that he was here for work and had no interest in the Tengda Spirit compatibility test at all.
After the test was completed, he would sneak a look at the new employees' answers to determine what went wrong with the Tengda Spirit compatibility test.
The new employees entered the large conference room with serious expressions, sat down in their respective seats, and began to answer the questions.
However, when they saw the question, many of them looked surprised and subconsciously looked at the others beside them.
Why was there a fill-in-the-blank?
Didn't the seniors say that there was a multiple-choice question?
The person in charge of invigilating the exam was a colleague from the HR department. He coughed lightly to remind everyone to pay attention to the order of the examination hall.
The new employees did not dare to look at each other and quickly buried their heads to answer the questions.
Wu Bin was also invigilating the exam. At first, he was just going through the motions and did not take the invigilation too seriously.
That was because the originally profound and obscure Tengda spirit had gradually spread within the company and become easy to understand after the tireless efforts of him and many department heads.
The Tengda spirit handbook that he and Cui Geng had painstakingly written had also been distributed to the heads of the various departments.
This handbook could not be directly distributed to all employees, especially the new employees. However, as long as the person-in-charge grasped the Tengda spirit, he could subtly influence the core employees and then gradually influence the new employees.
Sometimes, the actions and words of the old employees would inadvertently reveal the Tengda spirit and set an example for the new employees.
Over time, the new employees would quickly adapt to this way of thinking. Before the exam, as long as the department heads or the old employees gave a hint, these new employees would be able to successfully pass the test.
Thus, the passing rate of the Tengda Spirit compatibility test had been maintained at a very high level so far. Even if they could not pass the first time, they would definitely be able to pass within four times.
Wu Bin felt that this was just a formality so he did not pay much attention to it.
However, he soon frowned and realized that this test seemed to be a little different from before.
That was because he realized that all the candidates were using keyboards?
Something didn't seem right?
Wu Bin had participated in the Tengda Spirit compatibility test himself and had invigilated many of them. He clearly remembered that the previous tests were all multiple-choice questions that only needed to be clicked with the mouse.
Why did they need to use keyboards now?
Could it be that … the test had been upgraded? There were subjective questions now?
That was not right either.
Boss Pei was the one who set the answers for the Tengda Spirit compatibility test, and the system would automatically produce the results. How would the subjective questions be scored now that there were subjective questions?
Boss Pei could not possibly give so many candidates subjective questions one by one, and the HR department did not receive any orders to 'grade the Tengda Spirit compatibility test'.
Then … what was going on?
Wu Bin was very confused.
Could it be that the Tengda spirit had been upgraded again?
Did I have a new mission?
