Chapter 720 Auction Venue

Pei Qian still felt that there must be something wrong with the Tenda Spirit Test, so he was using this method to verify it.

The Tenda Spirit Test was the final section of the recruitment process, and only new employees could participate. Moreover, Pei Qian didn't need to look at everyone's answers; he just needed to do a spot check, look at a few papers, and he should be able to see something.

Pei Qian just wanted to see how these people managed to choose the correct answers.

Had they been cultivated with a mindset of slacking off?

Of course, what was answered on the exam paper might not be the real thoughts in these people's hearts.

It was also possible that some people wanted to slack off, but didn't dare to say it explicitly when answering subjective questions, and would cover it up slightly.

There was no way to solve this, after all, Pei Qian couldn't read minds and couldn't understand the employees' true thoughts.

But letting employees explain why they chose a certain option, even if the employee's answer wasn't entirely sincere, could still reveal some flaws.

This week's recruitment meant that the new employees would gradually join the company next week, so the next Tenda Spirit Test would be at least the week after next.

Therefore, Pei Qian asked that staff member to maintain the Tenda Spirit Test program, so that the new version of the test questions could be used directly next time.





November 6th, Sunday.

DGE Club.

Several cleaning ladies had just finished cleaning, and the entire training base instantly became very clean and spotless.

The ten new members of the club's two teams were playing a training match, but although their expressions were serious, they were actually a little distracted.

Because today, a major event would take place.

All bidding for the GPL spot would take place at the DGE Club!

Everyone was a little uneasy at the thought of the major event that would determine the future of the entire industry taking place here.

The living room on the second floor of the club's villa had always been used as a large conference room, and it had now been cleaned up, very tidy, with thirty chairs placed around the large conference table and around the outside of the conference room.

It was a little crowded, but it was okay.

But Zhang Yuan always felt that the impressiveness was a little lacking.

What kind of people were coming today?

President Lin of Shenhua Real Estate, President Zhou of Tianhuo Studio, Xue Zhebing, President Li, and so on.

They were here to buy a spot, and a spot would cost more than ten million yuan, but they were discussing business in the DGE Club's conference room?

Wasn't that a little undignified?

Although there was a three-day time limit, more than twenty companies or groups had expressed interest in qualifying for the GPL league in the first two days.

Representatives from more than twenty companies, plus the managers of the three clubs to be sold, plus Pei Qian, Zhang Yuan, and representatives from Tenda's legal department, totaled just over 30 people.

The entire future of the GPL league was finalized in this conference room.

Originally, Zhang Yuan planned to rent a larger, more dignified venue outside, but President Pei said it wasn't necessary, and that it would be fine to hold it here.

Zhang Yuan had no choice but to hire someone to clean the entire base and tidy it up, hoping not to leave a bad impression on these big spenders.

Pei Qian was drinking tea while waiting for these people participating in the bidding to arrive.

A lot of preliminary preparations had been made, and he hoped that the price would be slightly lower!

As for why he had to choose the DGE Club?

Wouldn't it be better to spend more money on a larger venue?

Obviously, Pei Qian wanted to leave a bad impression on these bidders.

If he got a particularly high-end venue, everyone would see it and think, "President Pei is so sincere! He's so willing to spend money for the GPL? It must be worth buying this spot!"

Then they would all frantically raise the price, and wouldn't that be a big problem?

He couldn't focus on small gains and lose big.

Therefore, Pei Qian didn't look for those high-end venues, and directly held this auction for the spot at the DGE Club's base, a relatively simple environment, so that everyone's bid would be more conservative, so that Tenda could earn less.

Pei Qian couldn't predict or interfere with how much the GPL spot would actually be auctioned for later. He couldn't stop people from raising the price.

He could only use this method to hope to have a subtle influence on these bidding companies.

Today was Sunday, and he could go to the largest private room in Wuming Restaurant for dinner tonight.

Pei Qian had already booked it in advance. After the auction was completed, he would invite everyone to have a meal. Since everyone had come, the timing was just right. Having a meal before leaving would also help President Pei share some of the burden.

Looking at his watch, there was less than half an hour left until the agreed time, and the big spenders who were preparing to bid for the GPL spot should be arriving soon.

Zhang Yuan suggested, "President Pei, should we go to the entrance to greet them?"

Pei Qian nodded, "Yes, let's go."

The two came to the entrance of the club and waited for everyone to arrive.

President Li and another local Jingzhou investor were the first to arrive. Speaking of which, this villa at the DGE Club originally belonged to him, so it was like returning to his own home.

After Li Shi greeted President Pei, he went upstairs to wait. There were special waiters who would receive him, guide him to his seat, and serve tea and water.

Not long after, Lin Chang also arrived.

Pei Qian was a little surprised, because Shenhua Real Estate was bidding this time, so Lin Zhou should have come.

Lin Chang smiled, "My second brother is too busy, he doesn't have time. Don't worry, I can make the decision for him! President Pei, just wait and see!"

After speaking, Lin Chang winked his right eye at Pei Qian.

Pei Qian: "…"

He suddenly had a bad feeling.

Lin Chang also went to the conference room to wait.

Not long after, Zhou Muyan, Xue Zhebing, and Yao Bo, the "princeling" of the Jinding Group, another big spender who wanted to bid for the GPL spot, also arrived.

Xue Zhebing and Yao Bo were both rich second generations and had known each other for a long time, and Zhou Muyan's Tianhuo Studio had always made pay-to-win games, so they had some connections with these rich second generations who loved to play games, so they happened to meet.

Pei Qian shook hands with the three in turn and exchanged a few simple pleasantries.

"Please come in, everyone. Someone will receive you on the second floor," Pei Qian said.

Pei Qian was actually relatively resistant and repulsed by these people who came to bid for the GPL spot, after all, these people were here to give money instead of spending money, so they couldn't get too many good looks from President Pei.

But after all, guests came from afar, and Pei Qian couldn't be so rude, so he was still slightly polite.

Zhou Muyan looked at his watch, "President Pei, there's about a quarter of an hour before it starts, can we just wander around inside?"

Pei Qian nodded, "Of course, feel free."

He didn't care too much. It was fine for them to look around. The so-called training base of the DGE Club was just a broken villa, and there were no secrets. They could look at whatever they wanted.

After the three entered the villa, Pei Qian and Zhang Yuan continued to wait outside for the arrival of the others.

Zhou Muyan, Xue Zhebing, and Yao Bo entered the villa, and didn't rush to go to the second floor. Instead, they first glanced at the training room in the hall.

Yao Bo was visiting Jingzhou for the first time, and couldn't help but frown when he saw it, "The GPL spot is being auctioned in a place like this? Isn't this too irregular! At least it's a business worth tens of millions of yuan, it's being done like a farmhouse."

Zhou Muyan also vaguely felt that something was wrong, but didn't speak.

A villa was a bit too private and not formal enough, and they were supposed to be having a meeting and auction, but the players were still playing training matches in the training hall on the first floor, how could they do it like this?

Xue Zhebing looked around and smiled, "Didn't you two see? This is President Pei's uniqueness!"

Yao Bo was stunned, "What do you mean?"

Xue Zhebing deliberately paused before saying, "President Pei has always been generous. If he wanted a good venue, he could just rent one in a five-star hotel. Do you think President Pei would be reluctant to spend that money? How is that possible."

"Obviously, there's a deeper meaning to arranging it here!"

As he spoke, he raised his chin at the ten players who were training seriously in the hall, "This is to show us the style of the esports club!"

Yao Bo and Zhou Muyan were both stunned, "You mean…"

Xue Zhebing continued, "Let me put it this way, for other companies bidding, a high-end venue is definitely a must, as well as hotels, meals, and all kinds of other treatment."

"But who will show you the most basic things?"

"If you see it, it's easy to be afraid!"

"President Pei put this auction at the DGE Club, which is obviously not because he's stingy, but to allow everyone who comes to bid to see the appearance of the DGE Club!"

"Look at these players, they are all muscular and energetic, which shows that the club's daily training is very scientific and the management is very strict."

"The entire club is spotless, and everything is arranged very neatly. It's no problem to shoot a documentary here directly."

"Even the players' bedrooms and beds are all tidied up neatly."

"What does this mean?"

"It shows that President Pei is seriously operating the esports industry as a mature and standardized industry. Unlike other esports clubs, to put it bluntly, it's just a large Internet cafe."

"As the saying goes, a glimpse reveals the big picture."

"The DGE Club has such scientific and standardized management, and other clubs will naturally follow suit. If all clubs can achieve this level, then can the GPL league not be successful in the future?"

Yao Bo and Zhou Muyan suddenly understood, "I see!"

"No wonder President Pei arranged the auction here, it turns out this is to show us a kind of sincerity!"

Xue Zhebing nodded, "Yes, President Pei's attitude is very clear, which is to generously show everyone the details of the club at will, without hiding anything. What could be more practical than this?"

"The scale is so small now, and President Pei can still do this. When the GPL gets better and better, and the club's funds become more abundant, it's normal to build a building as a training base."

"With President Pei's statement, what else is there to worry about? Bid with confidence, as long as there is funding, President Pei can handle everything else!"

Yao Bo also put away his contempt and began to seriously examine the situation of the DGE Club.

Obviously, this will affect all bidders' judgment of the value of the GPL league!
