Chapter 103 Special Training Camp

Pei Qian took another stroll around the special training base, feeling very satisfied overall.

"President Pei, that's pretty much it. Do you see any room for improvement?" Bao Xu asked.

Pei Qian shook his head. "There's no need for any changes. It's perfect."

Bao Xu was both surprised and a little delighted.

As far as he knew, President Pei rarely said things like "no need for changes"!

To have President Pei unable to find fault, it seemed that he had done exceptionally well this time!

Was it because he had put his heart and soul into the plan, making it perfect, or was it just a lucky coincidence that he had achieved the ultimate in some aspects, perfectly meeting President Pei's requirements?

In any case, this evaluation was too precious!

However, the key reason why Pei Qian felt there was no need for any changes was that his and Bao Xu's thought processes had completely aligned this time!

President Pei's goal was to make everyone suffer, and Bao Xu's goal was also to make everyone suffer.

Moreover, Bao Xu's feelings were even stronger.

Therefore, Pei Qian felt that there was no need for any changes, and even if there were, they would be considered later.

The special training base for the first phase of the Suffering Travel plan was already quite perfect at this stage.

Pei Qian strolled around again, sighing, "The only regret is that this special training base is still a bit empty, with too few people."

Bao Xu quickly explained, "President Pei, please rest assured, the relevant personnel for the special training base have been almost fully recruited, including cleaning staff, equipment maintenance personnel, physical training coaches, nutritionists, wilderness survival experts, and other staff. They are all ready and will be able to start work soon."

Pei Qian shook his head. "That's not what I meant. I mean, we lack customers!"

"I'll make a call and ask when Huang Sibo and Hu Xianbin are coming back."

Pei Qian took out his phone, turned on the speakerphone, and called Huang Sibo.

After a few rings, the call was answered.

"Hello? President Pei! Is there anything work-related you need me for?"

Pei Qian chuckled. "Of course not. I just remembered that you've been on vacation for almost a month, so I wanted to check on you. How is it going? Having fun? Is everything smooth?"

Huang Sibo quickly said, "President Pei, please rest assured, everything is fine! The hotel is very comfortable, and we've been eating local delicacies. We're getting plenty of rest."

"We'll be able to get right back to work when we return from the trip!"

Pei Qian chuckled inwardly.

Get right back to work when you return from the trip?

Dream on!

There's no such thing as a free lunch!

With the speakerphone on, Bao Xu could hear everything clearly.

His lips twitched slightly, and a murderous glint appeared in his eyes.

Good for you, Huang Sibo! I'm suffering on my trips, but you're turning it into sightseeing and enjoyment!

Can I stand for that?

Arrangements, arrangements must be made!

I won't rest until you've eaten three tons of dry meat cakes!

Pei Qian cleared his throat twice. "Don't rush with work-related matters."

"You guys, don't tire yourselves out too much while you're on vacation. It's important to take care of your health. There's no need to push yourselves too hard these last few days. If you really can't, just rest at the hotel. There will be plenty of opportunities for travel in the future."

Huang Sibo quickly said, "Okay, thank you for your concern, President Pei. We'll be sure to conserve our energy so that we don't get too tired and it won't affect our work when we get back."

Pei Qian chuckled again.

Who told you to conserve your energy because I was afraid it would affect your work?

I'm afraid you'll be too tired from playing too hard and won't be able to withstand the special training, okay?

If Huang Sibo plays too hard these last few days and comes back exhausted or even develops minor ailments, wouldn't all of Bao Xu's painstaking preparations be wasted?

If they misunderstood, so be it, as long as Huang Sibo and Hu Xianbin conserved their energy and didn't get tired beforehand.

"Alright, then have a good time. I'll see you in Jingzhou."

Pei Qian hung up the phone.

Everything was ready!

All the preparations for the Suffering Travel plan had been completed, and all that was left was to wait for the fish to bite.

Pei Qian looked at Bao Xu. "How many people are you planning to take in for the first phase of this Suffering Travel Special Training Camp?"

Bao Xu answered truthfully, "In terms of the overall capacity of the special training base, the upper limit is about 20 people. It will last for a month, during which phones will be confiscated, and daily training, diet, accommodation, etc., will all be arranged uniformly."

"However, 20 people would be a bit crowded, and it might not be so easy or smooth to arrange things. So, for the initial phase, we'll just have 10 people, which will be relatively easier to take care of. Once the whole process is more familiar, we can gradually increase the number of people."

Pei Qian nodded. He was very satisfied to hear that the training would last for a month and that phones would be confiscated.

This would definitely interfere with their work, right?

"Then let's start with 10 people. Huang Sibo and Hu Xianbin have already reserved two spots, and as for the other eight spots..."

Pei Qian silently calculated the names of the responsible persons at the top of his mental list.

"Xiao Peng from Moyu Internet Cafe, Rui Yuchen from Moyu Takeaway, Ye Zhizhou from Shangyang Games, Shen Renjie from the Numa Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, Guo Licheng from the Managed Fitness Gym, He Desheng from Yuandream Ventures, Ma Yiqun from Zhongdian Chinese Website..."

"Okay, let's start with these."

It was a pity that there were so few spots, but these ten people basically covered all of Tengda's major industries that were making a lot of money.

There were some other industries, such as Useful App, Thriller Hostel, and Upwind Logistics, etc., but these industries were basically not making much money or were even still in a state of loss, so they didn't need to be prioritized. They could wait for the second batch.

For example, Lv Mingliang from Upwind Logistics was President Pei's trusted aide, and he definitely couldn't bear to send him to the training camp.

What if Lv Mingliang handed over his work to his subordinates after coming here and suddenly made Upwind Logistics profitable? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?

He still had to prioritize these profitable industries.

For key departments like Tengda Games, Shangyang Games, and Fei Huang Workshop, he could even arrange two rounds, with the two main responsible persons going on vacation twice a year, for half a year each time, for a truly seamless connection.

Take Fei Huang Workshop for example. Previously, Pei Qian had been targeting Huang Sibo, but Zhu Xiaoce could use Huang Sibo as a shield and sit back and relax.

This time, he had to arrange for Zhu Xiaoce as well, and not let him get away!

Bao Xu silently wrote down the list, feeling shocked in his heart.

Good heavens, President Pei was going to wipe out all the heads of Tengda's departments in one fell swoop!

One person was selected from each of the popular departments, so it could be said that they were being treated equally and suffering equally.

He was supporting his work too much!

At Tengda, every employee was not innocent when Bao Xu went on vacation. And the heads of these departments were especially not innocent.

Therefore, arranging them first also gave Bao Xu a sense of great revenge.

He immediately expressed his position: "President Pei, please rest assured, I will immediately start their special training next month, and I will definitely arrange everything clearly!"

Pei Qian patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction: "Good! I trust you to handle things. Make sure you train them to death for me!"

...

...

August 31st, Friday.

In the blink of an eye, another week had passed.

Pei Qian had a pretty comfortable week.

The special training base for the Suffering Travel plan was largely ready, and the first batch of training lists had also been selected. All that was left was to wait for Huang Sibo and Hu Xianbin to return at the beginning of the month, so that they could be arranged immediately.

The situation on the Dawn Games platform was also very good. No good news was the best news.

After the "Find Bugs Competition" officially started, a large number of players flooded into the Dawn Games platform, including some players who were trying to take advantage of the situation and profit from it.

The staff of the Dawn Games platform went into full swing this week, exposing and publicly announcing those fake videos that did not meet the requirements, repeatedly popularizing the corresponding rules, and even inviting some of the players who were cursing happily online to Jingzhou to livestream the bug hunting.

As a result, no one came.

Obviously, most of the people who were cursing online probably knew that they would not be able to reproduce these bugs on the spot...

But this did not prevent them from continuing to BB and curse online, saying that the Dawn Games platform was marketing and playing tricks.

The current situation was still relatively chaotic. Although many players had searched for a long time and had not found any bugs, there were still some players who were stirring up trouble online for various purposes.

There was even a group of players who had threatened that once the event was over, they would remove all the games on the platform by means of not recommending them, to give the official a good look.

Although the official still had the final say on whether a particular game should be removed or not, the official had already given the players the right to remove the game. If they broke their promise, it would inevitably lead to some very unfavorable public opinion.

In short, the future of the entire platform was still unclear, and judging from the current situation, the possibility of tragedy was high.

Pei Qian was already very satisfied with this. Seeing that the Dawn Games platform was about to become a real money-burning tree, it was gratifying!

Just as he was thinking this, there was a knock on the door.

Meng Chang had arrived.

"Come, come, come, have a seat."

Seeing Meng Chang, Pei Qian couldn't help but smile.

It was worth cultivating you for so long. You've finally gotten the hang of it!

How much commission would he get this time?

Pei Qian opened this analysis report on his laptop and went straight to the specific commission number.

Ninety-eight thousand!

Seeing this number, Pei Qian couldn't help but let out a "huh."

It was a little lower than he had expected.

After all, the commission he gave Meng Chang was capped at 200,000, and the commission was directly proportional to the publicity expenses spent and inversely proportional to the publicity effect.

Logically speaking, this case should be considered relatively successful, right? The publicity plan that Pei Qian himself made for the DoubtVR glasses only received the minimum commission and failed to last until the end of the month.

But it was only less than 100,000?

However, after looking at the detailed content of the report again, Pei Qian understood.

The team responsible for the data analysis was still very rigorous and strictly followed Pei Qian's requirements at the time.

The so-called publicity effect could have positive effects or negative effects.

Too much negative news would also create heat for the project and have a publicity effect.

Therefore, in order to get the maximum commission of 200,000, it had to be the kind of situation where a lot of publicity expenses were spent, but it ended up being silent.
