"BP proving match? What is this thing?!"
At Moyu Internet Cafe, Pei Qian sipped his coffee while looking at the overwhelming discussions on various forums, once again falling into a state of blankness.
He thought it was just an exhibition match for the old DGE members?
Is *this* how you entertain?!
Pei Qian originally thought this activity wasn't a big deal, just inviting the old members back to play an entertainment match and boost the popularity of Rabbit Tail Live, but now he realized it wasn't that simple at all!
"I fell for Chen Yufeng's trick!"
Pei Qian was speechless. It was all Chen Yufeng's fault for only writing "special mode" in the promotion. If he had written the details of the rules clearly, he would never have approved it!
Yesterday, Pei Qian happened to be busy with some matters at school and didn't pay attention to Rabbit Tail Live. It wasn't until this morning, when he came to Moyu Internet Cafe for breakfast and coffee, that he took out his phone and browsed the forums.
Then he realized he had been tricked!
Last night, various discussions about the "BP proving match" occupied many of the hot topics on game forums, and the recorded video on the Elly Island website also gained a high number of views.
What was even more speechless was that many people had downloaded Rabbit Tail Live again, just to be able to watch the new episode of the "BP proving match" as soon as possible!
If it weren't for Rabbit Tail Live's current "forced one hour" rule, which curbed the momentum of this surge in popularity to a certain extent, Pei Qian's mentality would have collapsed again.
"This activity plan is too much of a failure! But... it hasn't reached the point of being unrecoverable."
"Although many people are saying that they will re-download Rabbit Tail Live and hang up every day, most of them will only have a three-minute heat, and won't be able to stick with it."
"The heat of this 'BP proving match' will slowly pass, and then the viewers will still be dissuaded by Rabbit Tail Live's 'forced one hour' rule."
"Well, in that case, I shouldn't give Rabbit Tail Live any resources in the near future, and let its popularity cool down a bit."
"Speaking of which... I wonder how Tian Mo is doing."
"Even if he's a bit slow, it's been more than a week, he should have memorized everything by now, right?"
Pei Qian looked at the calendar. The last time he saw Tian Mo was probably last Thursday.
After that, Pei Qian briefly explained the requirements for the experience store to Liang Qingfan and asked him to select the location for the first experience store.
In addition, Pei Qian also made some other arrangements to prepare a place for Tian Mo to "practice."
It was about time to check his homework.
In fact, Pei Qian was a little unsure whether he should hope that Tian Mo could memorize these few principles or not.
If Tian Mo hadn't memorized them, it would mean that either Tian Mo's IQ was low to a certain extent, or Tian Mo wasn't paying attention to his work at all, which seemed to be good news;
But if Tian Mo had memorized them, it would mean that Tian Mo was more obedient, and it would be easier to control him after he started working, and he wouldn't deviate too much.
Pei Qian thought about it, and he still preferred the latter.
He strolled to the office of the Advertising and Marketing Department.
The employees of the Advertising and Marketing Department were all slacking off, playing games, and watching dramas, looking quite at ease.
Most of them were so focused that they didn't even notice President Pei's arrival. Even those who noticed only smiled and nodded, without any shame on their faces for playing games.
Pei Qian was very satisfied with this and nodded frequently.
However, when he saw that Meng Chang's workstation was empty, Pei Qian instantly felt a surge of anger.
This Meng Chang disappeared after messing things up!
It was outrageous!
Before, Pei Qian had trusted Meng Chang so much. The promotion of *Mission and Choice* was completely handed over to him, and he didn't even ask too much about it. And Meng Chang patted his chest and guaranteed that there would be absolutely no problem.
And what was the result?
*Mission and Choice* not only didn't flop, but it actually became popular. And Meng Chang, the person most responsible, simply played dead and didn't even come to work!
Pei Qian was speechless and wanted to call him over right now and scold him face to face.
But then he thought again, it was almost the end of the month anyway, and Meng Chang would have to come to his office sooner or later to reconcile this month's commission. It wouldn't be too late to scold him then, so there was no need to rush and make himself seem impatient.
Thinking of this, Pei Qian temporarily suppressed his anger and looked at Tian Mo's workstation.
He saw Tian Mo spacing out at his workstation, looking bored.
After spacing out for a while, he took out his notebook and recited the "Sales Department Guidelines" that President Pei had given him again, and then fell into a state of spacing out again.
Obviously, he had already memorized them a long time ago, but after memorizing them, he had nothing to do but space out.
Pei Qian came to his workstation and coughed lightly twice, "How is it, have you memorized the guidelines?"
When Tian Mo saw that it was President Pei, a look of joy like that of a released prisoner appeared on his face, and he immediately stood up, "I've memorized them! President Pei, I'll recite them for you right now..."
Pei Qian immediately raised his hand to signal him to stop, "No need, I believe you."
Tian Mo: "..."
He had already memorized all the content perfectly and was just waiting to perform well in front of President Pei, but he had absolutely no chance to perform, which was very awkward.
Pei Qian waved to him, "Since you've already memorized them, then come with me, you can move on to the next stage."
...
After leaving Shenhua Haojing, the driver, Xiao Sun, drove the two to a nearby shopping mall.
Tian Mo followed President Pei with some confusion. The two of them took the elevator to the fifth floor of the mall.
With a quick glance, the surroundings were all kinds of digital product stores, with specialty stores for various mobile phone brands, as well as specialty stores for audio, television, projector, and computer brands.
One of the stores was locked, and it looked like it wasn't open for business.
Pei Qian led Tian Mo straight to the door, took out the key from his pocket to open the door, and then handed the key to Tian Mo.
Tian Mo was stunned for a moment, "President Pei, this..."
Pei Qian smiled, "You'll be selling things here in the future, practice first. After you've practiced well, there will be a bigger stage waiting for you to perform!"
Tian Mo looked up and noticed that although the sign above the store didn't have a specific brand name, it did have the logos of Tengda Group and Otto Technologies.
Looking inside, the store was divided into two parts: the outside was a small hall, with good lighting from the floor-to-ceiling windows. One side was a transparent glass display case, displaying various Tengda-related products, such as the Fully Automatic Smart Counter-Argument Machine, Otto mobile phones, physical game discs, game figures, etc.; while the other side had sofas, a large TV, and a Fully Automatic Smart Counter-Argument Machine in use, which seemed to be for customers to rest and try out.
And in addition to this small hall, there was another part of the space inside, with dimmer lighting. There were a total of six small TVs and six single sofas, three on each side, probably a game trial area.
This was the place Pei Qian had arranged for Tian Mo to "practice."
Pei Qian had already arranged for Liang Qingfan to get a large experience store, but the location and decoration of this large store would definitely not be done in a short period of time.
Moreover, Pei Qian also considered that letting Tian Mo take over this large experience store, which occupied several thousand square meters and might be several floors high, as soon as he started might cause problems.
What if Tian Mo's skills in dissuading customers weren't proficient, and a large number of customers flooded in, and all the goods sold out?
During the decoration of this large experience store, Pei Qian decided to first rent a small store in the nearby shopping mall, put some Tengda products inside, and let Tian Mo practice his skills in dissuading customers.
"This place will be under your care from now on. Do you know what you should do after customers come?" Pei Qian asked.
Tian Mo immediately nodded, "I understand!"
"Good, then I'll test you." Pei Qian casually picked up an Otto E1 mobile phone from the side, "I want to buy this mobile phone now, what should you say?"
Tian Mo paused slightly, "Uh... I should truthfully state the various parameters of this mobile phone, talk about the advantages and disadvantages, and not deliberately induce customers to buy, let the customer make their own decision."
Pei Qian shook his head, "No, you should directly tell the customer that this is an old model from more than a year ago, and it is completely not recommended to buy. Why introduce the parameters for something that is completely not recommended to buy?"
Tian Mo's mouth opened slightly, and he was speechless for a moment.
Why would you put something that is completely not recommended to buy on the shelf?
Pei Qian also casually picked up a physical disc of *Repentance is at Hand* from the side, "What if I want to buy this game?"
Tian Mo thought for a while and said, "Uh... I will truthfully tell the customer that this game is a high-difficulty action game, and it is generally not recommended for people to try."
Pei Qian nodded slightly, "Well, not bad, but in addition to that, you have to tell the customer that buying the digital version online often has various discounts, which will be much cheaper and more cost-effective. Even if you want to buy it, you definitely wouldn't buy it in a physical store."
"What if the customer doesn't have any action game experience, but insists on buying it despite being advised against it?"
Tian Mo was a little confused, "Then... then sell it to him?"
Pei Qian shook his head, "Wrong. You should let him go to the trial area over there to try it out first. When he dies enough times, he will naturally give up."
Tian Mo scratched his head, his eyes filled with three parts confusion and seven parts bewilderment.
Pei Qian sighed slightly, "I can see it, although you have memorized all the guidelines, they are all rote memorization. You haven't truly understood them, and you haven't been able to apply them flexibly."
"So, keep working hard!"
Tian Mo looked ashamed, "Yes..."
Pei Qian sat down on the sofa next to him and said, "By the way, you can also start recruiting a few employees for the sales department. Such a big store, you can't take care of it by yourself."
Tian Mo immediately nodded, "Okay, President Pei, what should I do? Post a job on the recruitment website?"
Pei Qian immediately shook his head, "No, no, no. If you're going to post a job on the recruitment website, I'll have the Human Resources Department do it. Do I need to tell you?"
"Like this, you find a few of your classmates or childhood friends. Elementary school classmates, middle school classmates, high school classmates are all fine, but the only requirement is that their education level cannot be higher than yours."
Tian Mo: "Huh?"
"Cannot be higher than mine?"
"But I only graduated from high school..."
Tian Mo thought to himself, there weren't many classmates with lower education levels than him.
The key is, can these people help? Can they complete the tasks assigned by President Pei?
Pei Qian coughed lightly twice and explained, "As the saying goes, 'Brothers are best for fighting battles, fathers and sons are best for going to war.' If I recruit strangers, I'm afraid you won't be able to cooperate well. It's better to recruit old classmates, preferably those who have a good relationship with you, to create team cohesion more easily."
"These people can't be more excellent than you, because a department can only have one thought. What if you say east and he says west, who should the other people in the department listen to?"
"So, you recruit people according to this standard. After you recruit them, tell the Human Resources Department, and they can directly join the company without going through those cumbersome procedures."
Pei Qian didn't want to recruit employees who were smarter than Tian Mo and then give Tian Mo advice and lead him astray.
If that were the case, wouldn't his hard work in training Tian Mo be wasted?
The previous department recruitment was all unified recruitment. Although Pei Qian had tried very hard, the quality of the people recruited through the written test and interview was still too high.
Therefore, Pei Qian wanted to try the method of "nepotism" in the sales department to see what the result would be.
"Okay, then let's do that for now. You take care of this store while looking for people. If you need anything, tell me at any time."
"Oh, here's my business card."
Tian Mo reached out and took the business card, looking a little puzzled.
Pei Qian explained, "This is a stylist. Someday, you can make an appointment with him and have him help you dress up and put together a few outfits. All expenses are reimbursed by the company, so don't think about saving money, just spend it!"
"As a salesman, you still have to pay attention to your image."
"Oh, the only requirement is no formal wear. You can wear anything you want except formal wear."
