Chapter 1275 Suffering Tour Promotional Video

Before, in the Longyu Group, once Eric and Zhao Xuming had differences of opinion, the outcome was often difficult to resolve.

Because there was no authoritative arbitrator.

They were already the highest persons in charge of IoI in the national server. If there were disagreements, they could only ask the senior management of Longyu Group and the senior management of Finger Company to mediate.

But the senior management rarely came into contact with the specific business below, so how could they understand the specific situation here? They could only smooth things over and give each side fifty strokes.

So once a disagreement occurred, the biggest possibility was internal friction, wasting time on meaningless communication.

But it was different in Tengda.

If the two people's plans had differences, it was easy to handle, just find President Pei!

President Pei only needed a minute to judge who was right and who was wrong, and the wrong party would definitely not be unconvinced.

In this case, it was no longer appropriate to use the previous cooperation model.

One person's ability was ultimately limited. Letting Zhao Xuming always be an assistant was actually a waste.

President Pei pointed out the positions of the two people, which was actually a reminder.

Eric was responsible for overseas business, and Zhao Xuming was responsible for domestic business. Because the situations in different regions were different, the two should cultivate their respective fields separately.

At the same time, Zhao Xuming should also take the initiative to be responsible for some activities, and the two should cooperate more naturally.

As for what to do if the two people's plans conflicted?

With President Pei around, there was no need to worry about internal friction at all.

Eric suddenly felt that President Pei was truly worthy of his reputation.

He had long heard that President Pei was good at discovering problems in success and maintaining optimism in failure, and now it seemed to be true!

Coming here and with a few words, he directly pointed out the crux of the problem.

Eric and Zhao Xuming had different ideas, but they were both sincerely convinced by President Pei, and had no objections to this arrangement.

Eric did not feel that his position was being challenged, but felt that he could breathe a sigh of relief and put most of his energy into the international server.

After hearing Eric's explanation, Zhao Xuming understood.

"I see."

"Well, there's really no way..."

Zhao Xuming knew that it would be impossible to muddle through.

President Pei had discerning eyes and was not easy to fool. This plan was so successful, yet President Pei pointed out his problems without any mercy. He had to make some changes.

Fortunately, this was Tengda, not Longyu Group.

He had heard that in Tengda, President Pei was very tolerant of employees who made mistakes, and with President Pei watching, employees rarely had the opportunity to make mistakes. After all, everything had been planned by President Pei, and most of the plans could be said to be thrilling but safe.

Zhao Xuming sighed and somewhat helplessly began to conceive his first plan in Tengda.

Fortunately, the opponent was the very familiar IoI. Being a little more ruthless and leaving a good impression on President Pei should make things easier later.

...

Pei Qian returned to his office not long before Meng Chang arrived.

"President Pei, this is the promotional video for the suffering tour that I've made, please take a look." Meng Chang handed over his phone.

Pei Qian took the phone and casually asked, "How is the situation on the suffering tour side? Are the people in charge adapting well?"

Meng Chang was silent for a while: "It's simply heartbreaking to hear and tearful to see..."

"I'm there filming a documentary, watching them suffer, and I feel a little empathetic."

"It's hard to imagine what it would be like to experience it personally."

Pei Qian smiled slightly, thinking that Meng Chang, you don't need to suffer now, and I hope there will never be such a day.

Because when that time really comes, it would mean that this good brother has also left me...

Meng Chang added: "Moreover, these people in charge seem to be deliberately acting miserable in front of the camera, probably hoping to evoke sympathy and get rid of it as soon as possible."

"Oh?" Pei Qian raised his eyebrows.

Then you're thinking too much.

The more miserable you act, the more meaningful the suffering tour will be!

If you all enjoy it and feel the joy of suffering, then I'll have to consider whether to let you come back quickly.

Pei Qian asked, "How did you film it?"

Meng Chang: "Of course, I filmed it normally, faithfully recording it. Regardless of whether they're acting or not, the suffering is real."

"This promotional plan is divided into two parts."

"The first part is the current promotional video, which is only a few minutes long. If there are no problems, it will be released today."

"The second part is a relatively longer documentary, about thirty minutes to an hour, which will record the content of the trip in more detail. It will be released two or three days after the promotional video is released, and it hasn't been edited yet."

Pei Qian nodded: "Remember what the ultimate goal of your promotional plan is."

This was to remind Meng Chang that the ultimate goal of the promotional plan was still to spend a lot of money and achieve negative publicity effects. He must think clearly and not let his commission disappear again.

Meng Chang confidently assured: "Don't worry, President Pei, I've considered this plan carefully."

Ultimate goal?

The ultimate goal, of course, is to let everyone see the suffering side of the suffering tour in the short term, dissuading most people who want to participate, but in the long run, it can make everyone realize the value of the suffering tour!

There was no need for President Pei to point this out, Meng Chang had already fully understood it.

Pei Qian clicked on the video to view this promotional video.

The content of the video itself was relatively conventional, and could basically be divided into two kinds of shots: one was aerial photography or beautiful scenery shot from various other angles, and the other was scenes of people rock climbing, rappelling, and engaging in wilderness survival activities.

The background melody was relatively light, but not the kind of very artistic feeling, but a slightly passionate melody.

Accompanying these pictures, a male voice was reciting a narration.

"There are many experiences in life that you have not experienced, places you have not been to, whether you see them or not, they are there waiting."

"There can be many trips, and there can be many kinds of beautiful places, and when they meet you, they become unique."

"Don't let the mundane atmosphere of life turn you into a mediocre person. Travel is not for beautiful scenery and encounters, but to use fatigue to dispel the trivialities of life."

"Don't forget the things you promised yourself to do, the places you want to go to, and the beauty you want to feel."

"In the dense forests, in the wilderness, in the suffering asceticism, liberate the mind bound by the steel jungle, and find the true meaning of life."

"On the arduous journey, meet the soul that accompanies the entire journey."

"Suffering Tour, take you to see the distance with your soul."

The narrator's voice was relatively masculine, giving people a feeling of excitement and enthusiasm. The voice was also somewhat bewitching, seemingly enticing the audience to immediately take a trip that they could just take at any time.

Of course, these were only a few of the more representative sentences in the video. In fact, the script for the several-minute-long promotional video wouldn't have just a few sentences, but the overall style was consistent, and it was pretty much the same meaning.

After watching this promotional video, Pei Qian couldn't help but frown slightly.

This...

He looked up at Meng Chang: "Are you sure this will work?"

From all aspects, it seemed to be a fairly normal promotional video?

The video content was aerial photography of beautiful scenery. Shennongjia itself was a scenic spot, so it wasn't difficult to find some good-looking scenery.

When people were rock climbing, rappelling, and engaging in wilderness survival, they were fully equipped, and this kind of scene naturally gave people a feeling of passion and motivation.

Moreover, judging from the script of the promotional video, it was also quite positive, completely beautifying the suffering tour as a kind of self-challenge.

If this video was broadcast, Meng Chang, are you sure you can get a commission?

Pei Qian was quite skeptical about this.

Meng Chang smiled slightly: "President Pei, you don't know, this video has some deeper meaning."

"First of all, I didn't choose to use a more artistic female voice to do the narration, but chose a relatively masculine voice, and added words like 'suffering' and 'asceticism' to the script, just to discourage ordinary tourists as much as possible, especially more artistic female tourists."

"In this way, those who are attracted by this promotional video will only be those hardcore tourists who are full of challenging spirit and naturally fit the characteristics of the suffering tour."

"Secondly, this promotional video is only the first step."

"Next, there will be a documentary, and the documentary can show the audience a more realistic situation."

"After that, we will also announce the price of a trip on our official website..."

After hearing Meng Chang's explanation, Pei Qian instantly understood.

So that's how it is!

This set of measures was obviously a multiple screening.

First of all, it was to screen out ordinary tourists by promoting the element of "suffering."

Emphasizing suffering in the promotional video would let most people know what the suffering tour was about at a glance.

Of course, it couldn't be ruled out that some people would suddenly have a bout of masochism and insist on trying it out after hearing about suffering.

At this time, the real situation of the documentary would be needed to show the most real side of the suffering tour in front of them, using the cruel reality to shatter their beautiful fantasies.

After this set of screenings, basically those tourists who were watching out of curiosity would retreat in the face of difficulty, leaving only those tourists who were truly determined, persevering, and passionate about this high-difficulty challenge.

At this time, there would be the last trump card, which was the price!

Looking at this price, the last group of people would also be dissuaded.

It wasn't that they couldn't afford the money, the key was, if a person was determined, persevering, and motivated, then why would they want to join a group?

They could completely organize a few like-minded friends, plan their own route, and achieve the goal of challenging themselves with very little money.

Even after the price came out, the content of this promotional video would arouse everyone's resentment. After all, many people naturally hated this set of artistic rhetoric and thought it was忽悠 (hūyou, to con/swindle).

There were some commodities whose positioning was called "the rich can't use them, and the poor can't afford them."

The positioning of the suffering tour was also pretty much in this kind of in-between state. After screening back and forth, the only people left would be a very small group.

And these people were obviously not enough to support the huge expenses of the suffering tour.

Pei Qian was very happy.

This Meng Chang was really something, his progress was rapid!

The way he thinks about problems is getting closer and closer to me!
