Chapter 1582 Is it a Mole or a Turncoat?

Pei Qian calmed down and carefully reviewed the names and details of these companies.

Sure enough, he found the problem!

It wasn't just the number of companies; Pei Qian also saw some familiar faces on the list.

These familiar faces were actually members of the Anti-Tengda Alliance!

What was going on? Which side were these companies really on?

If an ordinary person saw the names of rival companies, they would definitely become vigilant, suspecting that they might be moles.

Pei Qian wasn't afraid of them being moles, but he was afraid that they were genuinely turning coat!

If they were really moles, Pei Qian wouldn't mind sending Min Jingchao over to guide them, helping them make more money and temporarily strengthen the Anti-Tengda Alliance's power.

That way, the business war wouldn't end too quickly, and Pei Qian could freely burn more money!

But what if the members of the Anti-Tengda Alliance really wanted to join the Tengda Group?

Wouldn't the Anti-Tengda Alliance quickly fall apart?

That was absolutely unacceptable!

After a moment's thought, Pei Qian felt that the latter was more likely.

Although the Anti-Tengda Alliance seemed powerful, it had been defeated repeatedly so far!

The key was that the alliance was held together by interests, and they were all under direct threat from the Tengda Group.

The slightly awkward part was that, so far, the Anti-Tengda Alliance hadn't secured any benefits for any of its member companies.

Even the companies that tried to take the lead had been dealt with harshly by the Tengda Group!

Following the Anti-Tengda Alliance hadn't brought any benefits, and had even resulted in losses in reputation and actual profit.

On the other hand, the results of following the Tengda Group had been vividly demonstrated by Tianhuo Studio and Longyu Group!

Tianhuo Studio didn't even need to be mentioned; they had made a fortune with a blockbuster game, to the point where they were firmly on the Tengda Group's bandwagon and would never get off!

Longyu Group had not only tasted success in its operations but had also become the first cooperation target of Tengda's Cooperation Department.

After Min Jingchao made sweeping reforms to the games they were operating, although the actual revenue wasn't immediately apparent, the overall recovery of their reputation was undeniable!

For many domestic game companies, gaining a good reputation was much harder than making money.

There were many companies that made money, but only a handful had a truly good reputation!

In the eyes of companies seeking cooperation, the Tengda Group was recruiting troops and buying people's hearts.

The key was that everyone agreed that the Tengda Group had the ability to do so!

Sending just one Min Jingchao had boosted two companies.

Many companies were paying attention to the Tengda Cooperation Department and secretly observing the changes within Longyu Group.

It was said that the changes weren't just in the specific operational plans, but also included adjustments to the entire team structure and working model. And within just two weeks, there had been tangible results!

So, one person told ten, and ten told a hundred, and in the process of spreading the word, everyone exaggerated a little. Coupled with the image of President Pei as a strategist who always won from afar, Tengda's business miracle had become a perfect case study for many companies!

As the news spread more and more wildly, Min Jingchao's abilities were also exaggerated repeatedly.

In short, these companies were tempted by money!

Who wouldn't want to latch onto Tengda's golden thigh and happily fly high?

Although many companies in the Anti-Tengda Alliance had actual conflicts of interest with Tengda, only large companies had the strength to not compromise or concede.

For the smaller companies in the Anti-Tengda Alliance, what did it matter if there were conflicts of interest? In the face of money, they could compromise. As long as Tengda was willing to take them flying, even if it meant changing their business content, as long as they made more money, it was fine!

So these companies eagerly signed up for the Tengda Cooperation Department, afraid of being slower than others!

Because if other companies in the same field were seeking cooperation with Tengda, and if one company received Tengda's support early, it could crush the others.

This created a prisoner's dilemma: if you didn't latch onto Tengda's thigh, how would you know that other competing companies wouldn't stab you in the back?

Might as well try your luck; if you were really selected by Tengda as a partner, you'd be rich!

The more Pei Qian looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong!

"No, no, this won't do! This can't continue!"

"Min Jingchao's performance is too dazzling. The Tengda Cooperation Department is becoming popular much faster than I imagined."

"I have to find a way to cool down everyone's enthusiasm. I can't let this continue!"

"At least, I have to persuade the Anti-Tengda Alliance companies to withdraw, to stay on the other side and not come over to join me!"

Tengda's current ability to rally support made Pei Qian worried for the Anti-Tengda Alliance.

The defection of certain companies could lead to the disintegration of the Anti-Tengda Alliance, and that would be terrible!

It was still too early; there were still half a year until the settlement!

Pei Qian felt like he was a paperhanger.

The Anti-Tengda Alliance's repeated battles had left it battered and vulnerable, but each time, Pei Qian had tried his best to patch up the holes!

After considering for a moment, Pei Qian decided to set two ground rules with Min Jingchao.

Regarding the companies that signed up for cooperation with the Tengda Cooperation Department, the first was to set a threshold, and the second was to differentiate priorities.

Regarding the threshold: don't take companies that are too small or too large, only those that are just emerging in their fields but don't yet have a dominant market position.

Because companies that are too small are very easy to control, and they are also very likely to become staunch followers of Tengda, like Yan Qi.

And if companies that are too large cooperate with Tengda, it could easily lead to a strong alliance. Moreover, these companies already have a solid foundation. If Min Jingchao makes a slight effort and these companies' performance improves significantly, the commotion would be too great and would attract excessive attention!

Like the commotion caused by Longyu Group this time, which many companies saw, causing the Tengda Cooperation Department to become popular!

If Min Jingchao had gone to an ordinary, medium-sized company, it definitely wouldn't have caused such a stir.

Pei Qian originally wanted to refuse the Anti-Tengda Alliance companies from joining, but after thinking about it, he realized that it would easily backfire.

Wouldn't that be forcing these companies to take sides? That would actually weaken the Anti-Tengda Alliance!

So he couldn't refuse! He could only turn a blind eye.

Let the Anti-Tengda Alliance companies also participate in cooperation with Tengda, so that they could gather intelligence or act as fence-sitters, increasing the probability of double agents.

In terms of the priority of cooperation choices, companies that are too close to or too distant from Tengda should be ranked lower.

If companies with close ties to Tengda were given priority, then many companies might desperately try to curry favor!

For example, by signing up for the Chuji Plan, or by transferring benefits to Tengda, expressing their loyalty, and so on.

This was clearly contrary to Pei Qian's intention!

If companies that are not so closely related to Tengda were given priority, it would create a de facto situation of expanding territory, and Tengda's domain would inevitably continue to grow.

So he could only choose the companies in the middle, so that it would be difficult for everyone to guess the true rules of the Tengda Cooperation Department's selection of partners.

Pei Qian quickly finalized the plan and wrote a simple proposal.

When Min Jingchao returned, he could slowly select partners according to the new rules.

However, after Min Jingchao returned this time, Pei Qian would have him focus on training new people in the future.

Because Min Jingchao was too awesome; he had boosted both Tianhuo Studio and Longyu Group. Next time he went to other companies, it would be easy for him to succeed!

If Min Jingchao could train a few more people and spread them out to different companies, then even if he succeeded, it could be neutralized by the failures of others to a certain extent.

…

…

Friday, May 31st.

Shengyun Group headquarters.

Nie Yunsheng was listening to the vice president's recent report with a gloomy face.

"President Nie, the situation at Zhujia Group is very pessimistic; they have requested our help several times!"

"After Chen Lei took over Shulan Apartments, he made many reforms, the most important of which was the launch of a new flagship apartment type."

"Zhujia Group privately calls this the Chen Lei co-branded model."

"One is a room type similar to Chen Lei's current living style, focusing on high-end artistry, and the other is an economically applicable room type that Chen Lei lived in before he became famous."

"These two room types were designed by specialized designers, and Chen Lei added many of his favorite elements to them, such as a Chen Lei-branded guitar hanging in the high-end artistic room type."

"Of course, this thing can be used like the home appliances in Shulan Apartments, but it cannot be damaged; if it is damaged, you have to pay compensation. Although most people can't play the guitar, the key is that Chen Lei has too many fans."

"These two room types were quickly swept away and all rented out!"

"In the future, Chen Lei also plans to launch more co-branded apartments."

"He may find film and television stars such as Lu Zhiyao or other singers Chen Lei knows to co-design. In this way, he has successfully established the brand value of Shulan Apartments and further widened the gap in grade with other rental brands!"

"Zhujia Group originally polished for a long time, wanting to launch a relatively cheap and affordable apartment type, but it happened to collide with the situation of Shulan Apartments!"

"It was directly defeated by the economically applicable room type in the Chen Lei co-branded model of Shulan Apartments!"

"Although it is a similar room type and quality, Chen Lei's model has special blessings. Many residents think that Chen Lei can turn over in this environment, so I will definitely have hope of turning over in this environment, so it is very popular!"

"Not only that, Chen Lei is also continuing to link with the *Real Estate Agent Simulator* and other derivative industries. Just a simple rental is almost making him play out of it!"

"Zhujia Group really has no way, can't find any breakthrough. Every time they make a move, Tengda Group always has better countermeasures waiting!"

"President Nie, what do you think we should do about this?"

Nie Yunsheng was silent. Zhujia Group actually encountered the same problem as Shengyun Group.

That is, in the face of the Tengda Group, which has many tricks and frequent moves, it is difficult for them to pose a threat to Tengda's core business model in a specific field, but their own core business model is constantly being eroded by the Tengda Group.

Nie Yunsheng felt that he had to change his strategy.

The previous few attacks launched by the Anti-Tengda Alliance were easily resolved by Pei Qian, and they lost too badly!

So Nie Yunsheng decided to temporarily lie dormant to lure Tengda, take the initiative to attack, and see if Tengda would reveal any flaws!

As a result, he didn't expect that President Pei had completely seen through his plan and did not take the initiative to attack at all. He just guarded himself like an iron barrel!

In these related businesses, the two sides did not have fierce conflicts again.

However, President Pei, through the Tengda Cooperation Department, was subtly disintegrating the Anti-Tengda Alliance, gradually strengthening the strength of the companies around Tengda Group, and establishing a Tengda Alliance.

If this situation continues to develop, the comparison of strength between the two sides will inevitably change.

Now there are indeed many more companies in the Anti-Tengda Alliance, but what about in the future? It's hard to say!

During this period of dormancy, the other companies in the Anti-Tengda Alliance did not completely lie dormant, and were still trying to make some counterattacks.

As a result, Pei Qian didn't even need to mobilize the resources of other departments of Tengda. Just a department head, and only an acting head, had already settled it.

This marked the complete failure of Nie Yunsheng's operational strategy, and also meant that he had to find a new breakthrough!
