Losing Money to Be a Tycoon - Chapter 1572
Chapter 1572 Return Of The Dead Chen Kangtuo!
Nie Yunsheng thought about the upcoming failure and closed the live-stream sulkily. He briefly looked at the netizens’ discussions in the comments section.
Indeed, what worried him happened!
The netizens’ discussions were not limited to the operating model of the two companies, Home Take-Out and Fish-Catching Take-Out, nor were they limited to the take-out industry. Instead, they expanded further along the thought process of this thesis to the entire internet platform industry!
“This thesis is too deep. It gives me inspiration! These internet companies are all the same!”
“That’s right. On the surface, it looks like Home Take-Out is different from Shengyun Corporation. The former is more conscientious than the latter, but in fact, they are only at different stages. They are basically birds of a feather!”
“The home delivery man has been emphasizing the demands of the customers and delivery guys, but he has removed his identity as the leader of the platform and cut off his responsibilities. This method is exactly the same as what Shengyun Express did to the delivery guys back then!”
“The delivery guys requested for more orders and took the initiative to work more hours. At the end of the day, it was because there were not enough benefits. On the other hand, the platform did not solve this problem for them on the basis of earning enough benefits. They even created the illusion that the delivery guys were ‘working hard to get rich’. That’s too much!”
“If the platform only knew how to find various objective reasons but did not personally solve the problem, what would the meaning of the platform’s existence be? It deserved to be replaced by an even better platform!”
“That’s right! Fish-Catching Take-Out can do better than take-out. It’s a healthier operating model! I’m willing to pay a certain proportion of take-out fees for every meal to support the take-out industry to develop in a longer term and healthier direction!”
“Actually, Fish-Catching Take-Out’s delivery price is not much higher than that of home delivery! As for why, Rui Yuchen had already explained it before. On one hand, Fish-Catching Take-Out did not have the requirement of earning high profits. On the other hand, it was also because they had cleared the food and delivery segment. Thus, they could use the profits of the food and beverage to subsidize a portion of the delivery.”
“If not for Teacher Wang’s live-stream, I would not have thought about the future of the industry. If we consider the problems that will definitely happen in the future, Fish-Catching Take-Out’s operating model would obviously be a more mature and stable model! On the other hand, the operating model of take-out in the residential area can also create a take-out platform with a wide coverage. However, as it continues to develop, the conflict between the delivery men and the businessmen will definitely continue to highlight. It would be difficult to think of a solution then!”
“If one does not have far-reaching considerations, there will be near worries. I support Tengda Corporation and Fish-Catching Take-Out!”
Nie Yunsheng looked at these comments and closed the webpage in dejection.
The Vice-President noticed Nie Yunsheng’s change in emotions and asked softly, “Boss Nie, what should we do next?”
Nie Yunsheng closed his eyes for a moment and said, “Pause it. We can’t continue fighting!”
This battle of public opinion was obviously disadvantageous for him!
As the content of the debate deepened, the operating model of both sides were deeply analyzed and publicized.
On the surface, the companies under the anti-Tengda Alliance looked like they were fighting back. However, they were actually constantly generating popularity to attract the netizens’ attention and provide new material for the public opinion war in the Tengda Alliance.
In other words, both sides might win and lose during the battle of public opinion.
However, as the battle progressed, the situation would lean towards Tengda!
The war would gradually develop from a war of public opinion between Tengda Corporation and the anti-Tengda alliance into a war of rights and security between all ordinary consumers and these internet companies’ giants.
During this process, ordinary consumers, practitioners, and even social scholars would participate in and discuss these problems that would definitely happen in the future!
For a company that was opposing Tengda Alliance, the best way was to be a coward and not express any attitude towards this!
That was because their business model could not afford to be dug deeper.
More words meant more mistakes. If he said more, he would be worse off!
“Damn it, I nearly fell into Boss Pei’s trap
again!”
Nie Yunsheng realized that he probably could not go down the road of public opinion for the time being After several rounds of public opinion battles, the anti-Tengda Alliance thought that they could regain their lost land. In the end, they lost even more badly each time.
The Vice-President saw that Nie Yunsheng’s expression was not good. He asked carefully, “Boss Nie, are we really going to stop?”
“However, once we give up on public opinion, it would be extremely difficult to snatch it back in the future!”
“Once the trend stabilized and formed a stereotype in the netizens’ hearts, we might not have any chance to turn the tables!”
Nie Yunsheng pondered for a moment and said, “We’ll temporarily adopt a defensive stance next month. We’ll observe Pei Qian’s strategy and re-organize the resources that the anti-Tengda Alliance has.”
“Pei Qian is full of tricks. If we take the initiative to attack, we might fall into his trap!”
“We might as well do the opposite! Let’s hold on for a while and see what Pei Qian’s movements are like. It’s also considered pretending to be defeated. Let’s see if we can make Pei Qian careless.”
“If Pei Qian or the person-in-charge of Tengda Corporation get carried away by victory and do something irrational, we can find an opportunity to counterattack!”
“As for the battle of public opinion… of course, we have to continue fighting, but we cannot fight such a battle that we are not confident in.”
“I have to find an excellent breakthrough point to consider the battle of public opinion!”
The Vice-President quickly nodded and contacted the person-in-charge of the other companies.
Nie Yunsheng’s fingers made a regular sound on the table. He reviewed his many battles with Tengda Corporation in his heart. He was deeply shocked by Pei Qian’s magical calculations and tricks.
“What can I do to defeat this terrifying opponent?”
Nie Yunsheng fell into deep thought.
It was not easy for outsiders to think that it was not easy to win against Tengda so many times. However, the more Nie Yunsheng fought, the clearer he felt that Tengda was so powerful that it was invincible.
May 6th, Monday.
This year’s May Day holiday was a little strange. On the surface, it looked like five days had been released. However, the two days in the middle were broken.
How could anyone tolerate that?
Pei Qian immediately waved his hand and gave the weekends to his employees. That made it a real seven-day long holiday. He would only officially start work on May 6th.
As Tengda Corporation expanded, the system became less and less concerned about one or two days of leave. Pei Qian could take leave without following the legal holidays.
Often, the system would turn a blind eye as long as he did not go overboard.
It was the first day of work after the long holiday. Pei Qian sat in his office, thinking about his work plan for next month.
At that moment, a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.
Two faces entered the office: Chen Kangtuo and Min Jingchao!
Two months had passed since the two of them suffered. It was considered a rebirth.
Both of them had lost some weight after rebirth. Their skins had also become tanner, but their spirits had obviously improved. They exuded vigorous vitality and vitality from head to toe.
After the two of them ended their Suffering Travels, they followed Pei Qian’s instructions to look for him.
However, the Suffering Travels happened to be in time for a long holiday. Thus, the two of them only came to him after the long holiday ended.
Pei Qian looked at Min Jingchao’s change and patted his shoulder gratefully. “You’ve worked hard. Come, take a seat!”
Chen Kangtuo felt sour in his heart seeing that Pei Qian did not intend to greet him.
Why was Boss Pei so good to Min Jingchao?
Chen Kangtuo did not know that the reason why he and Min Jingchao went on a torturous trip was completely different. Pei Qian did not notice the change in Chen Kangtuo’s expression. He casually asked, “How does Suffering Travels feel?”
Both of them smiled angrily and politely.
“Actually, it’s alright. I’m quite inspired!” Chen Kangtuo said through gritted teeth.
Min Jingchao forced a smile. “My colleagues at Sun Strike Studios gave me good reviews and I strongly hope that Boss Zhou can experience it personally!”
“However, I’ve been paying attention to the battle of public opinion in Tengda ever since I left from the torturous trip. I didn’t expect the battle of public opinion to be so beautiful!”
“Boss Pei really did everything in his power to block every move of the anti-Tengda Alliance! Especially in the food delivery industry, he managed to suppress the take-out industry with his advanced judgment!”
Chen Kangtuo agreed. “Yes, I’m also very excited. It’s a pity that I was held back by Suffering Travels and could not come back to help!”
“Otherwise, I will definitely be the first to kill my way over and turn the anti-Tengda Alliance upside down!” Their comments made Pei Qian fall silent. For some reason, he felt like he had missed something
Battle of public opinion?
That’s not right, right? Didn’t the person-in-charge say that the segment had been stopped a long time ago? Where was the public opinion war?
Their information was really lagged.
Pei Qian did not know that he was the one whose information was lagging behind…
The thesis on the internet had instantly ignited netizens’ discussions about take-out and other industries, but this popularity was mainly concentrated on the knowledge board of Useful App and Bunny Tail Live-Stream.
There were many people discussing on other forums as well, but it was a pity that they were not within Pei Qian’s scope of attention.
Pei Qian’s focus had gone off track, so he did not understand why Min Jingchao and Chen Kangtuo were so excited.
He thought that they had been cut off from the world during Suffering Travels. Their information was laggy. They had even used the matter from a month ago to congratulate him.
Pei Qian interrupted their excitement and cut straight to the chase. “I’m calling you this time because I have a new task for you!”
“Many companies wanted to obtain the precious opportunity to cooperate with us because they saw the success of Sun Strike Studios working with us. These companies are too passionate and are almost snatching the slots!”
“I think there’s a very good saying on the internet previously. Tengda wants to ‘Tengda will not forget our original intentions’. We will help the world if we can. We can lend a hand to these companies.”
“Therefore, I plan to set up a Tengda Cooperation Department to work with other companies on some projects. Of course, we will focus on game development in the early stages!”
“Min Jingchao, you have the successful experience of working with Sun Strike Studios. I think you are the best person-in-charge of this department! As for Chen Kangtuo, you have been the person-in-charge of Thriller Hostel for so long. It’s time to walk around. You can go to Tengda’s cooperation department to assist Min Jingchao.”
In fact, Pei Qian only spoke half of it. On the surface, he sounded righteous and righteous. However, in fact, Pei Qian had set up this Tengda Cooperation Department because he had his own intentions.
It was true that many companies had approached him for cooperation.
After all, Sun Strike Studios had relied on a game that they had worked with Tengda to earn a lot of money. Which games company would not be jealous?
However, the reason why Pei Qian agreed and personally prepared the Tengda Cooperation Department was mainly because he tasted the sweetness of splitting the profits.
The bonus that Sun Strike Studios gave Pei Qian as a producer was equivalent to several months of losses. How could Pei Qian let such a good thing go?
Of course, he had to glorify this cooperation model!
However, Pei Qian did not expect Chen Kangtuo to immediately become anxious and object once he heard his words. “Boss Pei, that cannot be!”
“I still have unfinished business in Thriller Hostel! Can you wait until I’m done in Thriller Hostel before you ask Tengda to help?”
Chen Kangtuo had already handed the design draft for the new haunted house project to Thriller Hostel. Now, Ruan Guangjian and Ma Yiqun were in charge.
This project could be said to have gathered Chen Kangtuo’s hard work and hatred. How could he give it up easily? Therefore, Chen Kangtuo did not want to go anywhere. He only wanted to return to Thriller Hostel immediately and work overtime to complete this project!
