Chapter 1362 How Exactly Did President Pei Do It? (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets!)

Zhu Xiaoce whispered to Wang Xiaobin, "President Pei is truly amazing. He can even turn suffering into an industry? Could it be that we wrongly accused Brother Bao? Is Brother Bao genuinely trying to build a career?"

Wang Xiaobin chuckled. "Even if we were wrong, we were wrong about President Pei, not about that Bao guy! Do you think someone as petty as Bao Xu could come up with the idea of turning the Suffering Tour into an industry? I think you're overestimating him. It's all thanks to President Pei's foresight."

Zhu Xiaoce nodded. "Well, that makes sense."

"Look on the bright side, this is good news for us. After all, we were going to suffer anyway. Now we can get the title of 'Ascetic' and some benefits. Roughly speaking, it's free!"

"But I'm still puzzled. Where did all these people come from? Although the title of 'Ascetic' and those benefits are quite attractive, 50,000 yuan is a real sum of money, and suffering for two months is also a real thing. How can so many people be fighting for this?"

Wang Xiaobin shook his head slightly. "You're asking something I don't know. If I knew, I would have reached President Pei's level."

Zhu Xiaoce thought for a while, but couldn't come up with a particularly convincing reason, so he gave up for the time being.

At the same time, he silently marveled. As expected of President Pei, his business acumen is unmatched!

...

Meanwhile, in the Tengda Group CEO's office.

"No, where did all these people come from?"

"It's already full? Are these people crazy? Did their brains break?"

"Spending 50,000 yuan to buy two months of suffering? Are they burning money?"

"If they have too much money, they can transfer it to my private account! What's the point of giving money to Tengda for nothing!"

"Ah, this is really infuriating!"

Pei Qian was extremely annoyed.

Everything was fine in the morning, but in just a few hours, the situation had changed dramatically!

Pei Qian had been happily waiting for the Suffering Tour to not fill up, so he could either arrange more Tengda Group employees to participate or form a group with fewer people, both of which would burn more money.

But he never expected it to be full!

And judging by the current number of people, not only will he not be able to burn less money, but he may also have to consider expanding the scale of the Suffering Tour.

He can't really make people wait a year, right?

"No, I have to call Bao Xu and ask what's going on."

"Did he do something shady behind my back that led to this outcome!"

Pei Qian had been very trusting of Bao Xu, after all, Bao Xu had reported the price increase and the "Ascetic" title in advance. Pei Qian felt that Bao Xu wasn't like other people in charge who always kept secrets to themselves, and he was trustworthy.

But the problem is, these changes alone shouldn't be enough to make the Suffering Tour full, right?

There must be some hidden reason, a reason he doesn't know.

The key is, is this a coincidence, or did Bao Xu do it intentionally?

If it's the former, then so be it. If it's the latter, then Bao Xu is outwardly loyal, but his heart must be very bad. Pei Qian wouldn't mind adding some difficulty to the Suffering Tour and making Bao Xu, the person in charge, take the lead.

Soon, the call connected.

Bao Xu's surprised voice came from the other end of the phone: "Oh? President Pei, I was just about to call you to report."

"The Suffering Tour has received a big order."

Pei Qian was taken aback: "Huh? What big order?"

Bao Xu said: "It's like this, Director Zhou from Tianhuo Studio said he wanted to arrange a Suffering Tour for his employees. I offered a special price, half price."

"I thought it would only be a few people, but then Director Zhou said that the entire *Bullet Marks 2* project team would be coming! More than a hundred people, and that's just the core development members of the project team. The peripheral members aren't even included."

"This discount is a bit too much all of a sudden, so I wanted to report it to you."

Pei Qian was overjoyed when he heard this: "Oh? No problem!"

"Director Zhou is an old friend of ours, it's reasonable to give him a discount!"

"You can make the decision about giving discounts like this in the future. You don't need to report to me."

Hearing what Bao Xu said, Pei Qian's mood instantly improved.

No wonder the 200 slots filled up all at once. It turns out that Tianhuo Studio alone accounted for more than a hundred!

If it's just a friendly show of support, then there's not much to worry about.

After all, there are only so many companies that have close ties with Tengda. Even if there are individual cases of friendly support, it shouldn't last long.

Zhou Muyan wouldn't send his employees to the Suffering Tour over and over again, right?

That would be too inhumane. Even Pei Qian himself wouldn't do such a heartless thing.

What's more, these people aren't paying the original price, but the half-price special.

At 25,000 yuan per person, the Suffering Tour is definitely losing money. Although the money lost isn't a lot for the entire Suffering Tour, it's always good to lose money!

Bao Xu continued: "Okay, President Pei, then I'll open another session for them in addition to the current list. After all, the current 200 slots are already full. They can't join the current 200 people."

Pei Qian was stunned, and a question mark slowly floated above his head.

?

"Wait a minute."

"The hundred or so people from Tianhuo Studio aren't in the current 200 people?"

Bao Xu replied matter-of-factly: "That's right. When Director Zhou contacted me to confirm the number of people, the 200 slots were already full."

"So I was thinking that after this session of the Suffering Tour ends, we have to make some adjustments to the entire structure of the Suffering Tour, otherwise we won't be able to handle the current surge in demand."

"Even if the Suffering Tour only takes forty people per session in the future, ten Tengda employees and thirty external people, it would take more than ten sessions, or two years, to take all three hundred plus people. This time is completely unacceptable."

"I think we should hurry up and expand the team, divide each session of the Suffering Tour into three or four classes, or even more. We also have to hurry up and prepare new indoor and outdoor venues..."

"Of course, staff training also has to keep up. We can open more classes, but not at the expense of reducing the quality of training. It's called the Suffering Tour, so the suffering definitely has to be in place."

"There are also benefits to expanding, which is that we can arrange for more Tengda employees to come in according to the proportion of people."

"There are so many Tengda employees, and only ten are arranged per session. It would take forever to arrange everyone, the efficiency is too low..."

Pei Qian didn't hear a word of what Bao Xu said after that.

There was only a huge question mark in his mind.

Why? Why!

The Suffering Tour has become like this, the price is high and it's suffering, and there are still so many people breaking their heads trying to get in?

The key is that this is under the condition of a 200-person limit. If there was no limit, wouldn't the waiting list be ten years long?

Bao Xu finally finished talking about his plan for the future of the Suffering Tour.

Pei Qian was silent for a moment, and asked, "So, do you understand why the Suffering Tour is so popular?"

Bao Xu was stunned for a moment, and then said with some shame: "I'm sorry, President Pei, I'm too dull and didn't understand how you laid out the Suffering Tour."

"Actually, I'm also very puzzled by the current popularity of the Suffering Tour. Or... could you give me some guidance?"

Pei Qian: "..."

You don't know, and I don't know, so who knows?

How did the Suffering Tour suddenly become popular?

"Okay, you continue to arrange it." Pei Qian silently hung up the phone.

There's a problem with the Suffering Tour, but he doesn't know which specific part of it has a problem.

Moreover, the problematic part is most likely on himself.

What should he do now?

Waiting online, it's urgent!

...

At the same time, netizens also launched a second round of heated discussion about the Suffering Tour.

"What's going on? In the morning, they were saying that no one would sign up for this thing at all, but in the afternoon, it's already full?"

"I just worked so hard in the live broadcast room to stir up the atmosphere, wanting the streamer to participate in the Suffering Tour, and other people followed suit. The streamer finally had no choice but to sign up, but the number of people was already full? WTF?"

"The streamer must be very happy, he escaped a disaster."

"No, his mood seems to be more complicated. On the one hand, he's glad he escaped a disaster, and on the other hand, he suspects that he missed a very valuable opportunity... After all, the Suffering Tour can be full so quickly, which means that many people recognize it very much, and even think that 50,000 yuan is worth it."

"Damn, this crazy world, I don't understand..."

"Could it be fake?"

"Impossible, Tengda has always disdained doing such things. Tengda's data is all real data. If it's full, then it's really full, absolutely no discounts."

"That's strange, are there really so many masochists in this world? Spending 50,000 yuan to buy suffering, what's the point?"

Netizens were all puzzled, and could only say that the world of the rich is so magical, and their spending circuits are completely different from normal people.

But this bewilderment has led to the continued hot discussion of the Suffering Tour.

When the first session of the Suffering Tour was held before, although there were promotional videos and documentaries released, it didn't generate too much discussion online, because everyone treated it as a joke and a funny story.

At most, they would make a few jokes and then stop paying attention to it.

But now it's different. This thing is open to external enrollment and it's full at lightning speed, which, to some extent, shows that its business model has achieved some success!

Although it cannot be said for sure that this popularity will continue, it has at least made a good start.

This huge contrast has aroused the curiosity and discussion of netizens, and their strong desire for knowledge has also made them want to work hard to explore the details and deep business logic of the Suffering Tour, thus forming a hot topic online!

And many self-media, big Vs, public accounts, up hosts, etc. have all seen this event and think it is a very good material that will definitely catch the eye!

As a result, many analyses of the Suffering Tour have gradually increased.

These analyses may be one-sided or even contradictory, but this is obviously not a bad thing, but will continue to increase the discussion of the Suffering Tour throughout the network!

Everyone is very curious, how exactly did President Pei do it, so that "suffering" can also become a business model?
