Chapter 64 June 8th, Friday

Since the last meeting, the preliminary work for the "Eternal Reincarnation" DLC had begun to move forward.

Of course, to avoid system warnings, the DLC wasn't officially approved for development.

The employees of Tengda Games were just casually writing design drafts and modifying art resources in their spare time; the system wouldn't care about this kind of boundary-pushing.

This week had been relatively uneventful because there weren't many new projects worth paying attention to.

Pei Qian focused most of his attention on Meng Chang's new promotion plan.

That ugly picture wasn't just bought a lot of online advertising, but had also been gradually rolled out offline; many bus stop signs in Jingzhou had been replaced with the picture.

According to Meng Chang's promotion plan, some advertisements had also been bought in other cities such as the Imperial Capital and the Magic Capital, and soon they would form a series of ugly landscapes, polluting the eyes of innocent passers-by.

As for the effect of this plan, it could be said to be very good.

It didn't cause too much attention, but instead stimulated a lot of dissatisfaction among the readers of Qidian Chinese Website towards the Inspiration Class, and the criticisms were endless.

Seeing these criticisms, Pei Qian was also very gratified.

Great, this is a smooth start!

I knew it, how could any promotion plan be a success? That's not scientific at all!

The combined wisdom of President Pei and Meng Chang couldn't even come up with a failed promotion plan, it's really too much of a failure!

This time, Meng Chang gritted his teeth and made such a terrible promotion plan, and the netizens' reactions were finally normal.

Just thinking about how so much promotion funding could finally go down the drain, Pei Qian couldn't help but feel relieved.

"But then again, judging from Meng Chang's current spending... his commission will be at most seventy or eighty thousand."

"Maybe he's gotten timid and become more conservative with spending."

"That won't do! Since it's determined that the promotion effect isn't very good, then we have to spend more money decisively!"

"I can remind him."

Thinking of this, Pei Qian dialed Meng Chang's phone.

"The effect of the promotion plan is very good! It's just that you haven't spent enough money. Do you have any subsequent spending plans?"

Meng Chang was stunned for a moment, and said, "Uh... President Pei, not for the time being. The conventional channels have already been bought, and a lot of advertisements have been bought at bus stops and subway stations. I think that's about enough."

Pei Qian said persuasively: "Did you... forget to buy shills?"

Meng Chang was a little confused, and after a moment of愣, he asked, "Can promotion funds be used to buy shills?"

Pei Qian: "Why not? As long as the shills you buy are doing positive promotion, there's no problem!"

"You can use the promotion funds to hire some shills to spread things like 'The Inspiration Class is a cradle of great writers, a source of inspiration, and a sacred place for creation.' Isn't that also a very good way to promote it!"

Meng Chang was stunned.

There's such an operation?

I never even thought of that before!

President Pei's operation, on the surface, looks like it's promoting the Inspiration Class, but in reality, it's completely a high-level way to mock it, just like Meng Chang's poster!

A cradle of great writers?

It's more like a tomb of great writers!

It sounds like a fairly reliable way to spend money, but... this suggestion was made by President Pei, could there be some misunderstanding in it?

Could it be a trap?

Meng Chang thought about it seriously.

It seems... there's no trap.

This operation of buying shills to praise it overtly but mock it covertly seems to be a completely harmless operation for his reverse promotion, there's absolutely no problem!

Meng Chang thought for a while and said, "But President Pei, where am I going to find shills?"

Pei Qian smiled: "Isn't that easy? Don't worry, I'll find them!"

"But this will require the use of promotion funds, I'm telling you in advance, so you don't suspect me later."

Meng Chang: "..."

There was a feeling of magical realism.

President Pei, as the boss of Tengda, actually took the initiative to make suggestions and request the use of promotion funds to Meng Chang, the head of the promotion department, and even in a consultative tone, it was outrageous!

Moreover, what Meng Chang wants to do is reverse promotion, and President Pei just came up with an excellent reverse promotion plan...

This wild operation turned too many corners, making Meng Chang dizzy and once again confused about which side President Pei is on.

…

After hanging up the phone, Pei Qian immediately found Hu Xiao.

"Buy shills!"

Already an old customer, familiar with the routine, Pei Qian went straight to the point.

Soon, Hu Xiao replied: "What kind of content do you want to buy specifically? Is the scope within a certain website, or across the entire internet?"

Pei Qian: "The entire internet! Anyway, as long as you see discussions related to online novels, have the shills mindlessly spam these few sentences: Qidian Chinese Website's Inspiration Class is a cradle of great writers, a source of inspiration, a sacred place for creation, and a producer of famous works..."

"Focus on this theme and praise it to the skies, the more exaggerated the better!"

Hu Xiao nodded slightly, this time the requirements were quite clear.

"As for the price, is an 80% discount still okay, just like before?"

Pei Qian waved his hand: "No need for a discount this time, give me more discounts next time when I need them!"

Just kidding, this time the system can reimburse it, why would I want a discount?

This discount obviously has to be saved for the next time I pay for shills out of my own pocket.

Hu Xiao scratched his head, a little confused.

What's going on?

Has the person in charge behind this account switched back again?

He remembered that this person in charge used to be very generous, but last time he became very stingy and meticulous. How come he's generous again this time?

How many people are actually managing this account?

But despite his doubts, Hu Xiao didn't ask any more questions and immediately arranged for his shill brothers to get busy.

This time it's another big job, he can make a good profit!

Chapter 65 June 10th, Sunday

Tengda Experience Store Officially Opens for Trial Operation!

After the location of the experience store was officially finalized, related work had been progressing. Various display cabinets, samples, home furnishings, etc. were continuously delivered to the store, and Liang Qingfan gradually handed over the work of the experience store to Tian Mo.

The entire layout of the experience store was completed yesterday, and the trial operation began today as originally planned.

Compared with the initial plan, the VR experience area has not yet officially opened, because the VR glasses from Chihuo Studio have not yet been developed and mass-produced; the large screen outside is still under construction; the snack stall owners and chefs in the food area have not yet been fully staffed, but it should be no problem to cope with the traffic during the trial operation.

Apart from that, all the goods and staff in the entire experience store are now in place.

A business car stopped in front of Jinsheng Plaza.

Yao Bo got out of the car, and when he looked up, he saw the super-large LED display screen under construction, and he also saw the interior of the core area of the Tengda Experience Store through the huge glass curtain wall.

The other car door also opened, and Zhou Muyan also got out of the car, looking at the grand experience store and sighing: "As expected of President Pei, the first experience store is such a big deal!"

Yao Bo smiled: "Of course, when has President Pei ever been stingy! Let's go."

The two of them walked towards the experience store.

The two of them had come all the way to Jingzhou to learn from experience.

They wanted to see what the Tengda Experience Store was all about!

Although Tengda didn't promote the experience store in a big way, Yao Bo and Zhou Muyan were well-informed and naturally knew exactly that the experience store would start its trial operation today.

If it were other brands' experience stores, there would be no need to visit them, because it would be the same old stuff over and over again, and you wouldn't learn anything from it.

But Tengda's experience store is different!

As everyone knows, turning the rotten into the magical is one of President Pei's most outstanding abilities as a boss.

No matter what industry he enters, President Pei can always find a new business model.

In addition, President Pei is also unique and unconventional in other aspects such as internal company management, project promotion, and investment.

Each of them could probably be used as a textbook.

The great way is simple, and the sword takes a slant, but they all lead to the same goal by different routes.

Only those who have been dealing with President Pei for a long time can appreciate how all-round President Pei is!

So, would Tengda's experience store be an ordinary experience store?

Definitely not!

This experience store must be an experience store that contains President Pei's sales philosophy, completely different from other brands' experience stores and physical stores.

It is naturally very necessary to observe and learn from it!

Yao Bo and Zhou Muyan happened to be in urgent need of this knowledge.

Yao Bo's Jindin Group's main business is sportswear and sports drinks, and it also has many sportswear stores across the country.

However, in recent years, due to the increasing market competition, squeezed by foreign brands, and coinciding with the rapid rise of online shopping, Jindin Group's physical stores have become increasingly difficult.

Yao Bo wanted to come and see Tengda's experience store, learn from it, and if he could learn something, it would be best to upgrade Jindin Group's stores and retrain its staff.

And Zhou Muyan, as the boss of Tianhuo Studio, also had the idea of opening a game experience store in order to better promote the games developed by his company.

However, due to the lack of experience and preparation, this idea is still in the conceptual stage, and there is no feasible plan at all.

Therefore, they both wanted to come and see Tengda's experience store and learn how President Pei arranged the experience store during this special period.

If they could learn something, it would definitely help their stores!
