Chapter 1667 Gratitude and Arrangements

Pei Qian gestured for everyone to sit down, then said, "I've called everyone here today to announce a few decisions."

"But before that, I want to express my gratitude to everyone here."

"It is thanks to everyone's joint efforts that Tengda Group has reached its current scale and achievements. I just happened to be the one who created Tengda by accident, but you are the real creators of Tengda Group."

"Here, I want to express my gratitude to each of you individually."

"Huang Sibo, Lü Mingliang, Li Yada, Ye Zhizhou, Wang Xiaobin, Hu Xianbin, Min Jingchao, Zhang Nan, Yu Fei, thank you so much for being in charge of the game department. With your boundless imagination and diligent execution, you have turned one idea after another into reality, bringing players one fun game after another."

"Director Zhu Xiaoce, thank you for making so many wonderful films and changing the atmosphere of the entire domestic film market."

"Bao Xu, although you moved through several departments before finally becoming the head of Suffering Travels, you played a vital role in every position. I am proud of you."

"Zhang Yuan, Xiao Peng, thank you for finding a better operating model for Moyu Internet Cafe and supporting Tengda Group's esports industry; Lin Canrong, Rui Yuchen, thank you for changing the Moyu Takeaway and even the entire Jingzhou's catering model, allowing many people to eat healthy and safe takeaways..."

Pei Qian expressed his gratitude to the heads of each department and fully affirmed their contributions during their tenure at Tengda Group!

This process was very long. Although Pei Qian's praise for each department was very concise, only two or three sentences, Tengda Group now has too many departments and its business spans many fields.

There were forty or fifty departments of all sizes, and each department had two or three or even more people in charge and making outstanding contributions, plus bosses of other companies like Li Shi. Pei Qian took more than half an hour to thank everyone one by one.

Pei Qian's feelings for these people were complicated.

When Pei Qian was single-mindedly thinking about creating losses to convert into personal property, these people were the biggest stumbling blocks on his road to success, always trying to stab him in the back and make money for him.

Although Pei Qian sometimes hated them, he would at most send them on Suffering Travels or to the Haunted House, or replace them in other departments through the first-place elimination system, but he never thought of demoting or firing them.

Because Pei Qian knew very well that they were all people who were contributing to the company and to the entire society. The greatest credit for Tengda Group's ability to develop to its current scale should belong to them.

As for Pei Qian himself, he might just be a very lucky koi.

And Tengda's ability to achieve today's achievements and become the most loved and welcomed company...

Pei Qian had received so much praise that did not belong to him, and it should all be attributed to these heads of departments.

So Pei Qian wanted to express his heartfelt gratitude to them, thanking these heads of departments for being able to complete this great cause together with him!

After Pei Qian thanked all the heads of departments, many people were a little uneasy.

For example, Bao Xu was one of them.

Bao Xu still remembered that he used to be an internet addict with no goals in life, just wasting his time every day. But President Pei found him in a dark internet cafe and invited him to Tengda Group, and then changed his life.

Although he was forced to travel countless times in this process, Bao Xu now felt fortunate for his experience and sincerely grateful to President Pei.

And President Pei thanking all the department heads in such an occasion revealed a very dangerous signal.

Obviously, President Pei had not changed his mind. He did not intend to lead these department heads to work hard for Tengda Group for another 20 years, but was going to leave Tengda Group for a period of time according to his previous decision, although he would still hold the title of president.

Maybe it was a year, maybe it was many years.

As soon as Pei Qian finished speaking, the heads of departments began to plead with him to stay.

"President Pei, you're not really going to leave the company, are you?"

"President Pei, the company can't do without you!"

"Yes, if we encounter new business problems or the company needs to transform, who should make the decision?"

"That's right, Tengda Group without President Pei is incomplete. I can't accept it!"

Seeing the emotional reaction of the department heads, Pei Qian waved his hand, signaling everyone to calm down.

He smiled slightly and said, "Everyone doesn't need to be so excited. In fact, the current Tengda Group is already a perfect operating whole. It doesn't make much difference whether I'm here or not. In fact, it might even develop better without me, after all, there's no one to hold the company back."

The heads of departments all regarded this as President Pei's comfort or some kind of cold joke, but this cold joke was not funny at all.

Pei Qian continued, "I have been thinking about this decision for a long time. As for why I finally made up my mind, there are three main reasons."

"First of all, each of you is very capable. If I am here, you will always want to ask me when you encounter major problems. This is not conducive to you发挥 [fā huī] your true level. I hope you can explore a way to not only perfectly replace me, but also surpass me even more."

"I don't think surpassing me is a difficult task. You should try it."

"Secondly, Tengda Group will always experience such a process as it continues to develop. This company ultimately belongs to all employees and even all users of Tengda Group! As the company continues to develop, it must try to use the most appropriate method to bring everyone into the decision-making system and let it move in a more correct direction."

"Before, I just relied on one stroke of luck after another to avoid making major mistakes, but I can't make this guarantee in the future. Therefore, everyone needs to use their wisdom to let Tengda Group enter a new stage."

"The person in the game is confused, the onlooker sees clearly. I think it might be better if I stood in the position of an onlooker."

"Finally, I don't want my identity to be only the president of Tengda Group. I also hope that I can have more identities."

"I deeply feel that my abilities are still far behind, so I want to travel around the world. I want to have more time to learn and think more deeply. I want to continue to grow and gradually become a person worthy of everyone's praise, and these all take time and focus."

"I don't want Tengda Group to be the upper limit of my life, so I don't want to be tied to it forever."

The heads of departments looked at each other. What President Pei said seemed overly modest, but it was indeed somewhat reasonable.

As the president of a company, there is so much to pay in order to allow the entire company to develop better!

In the trivial matters, many company bosses completely lose their time and life.

For those bosses who regard the company and career as the most important part of their lives, this is the life they want.

But if President Pei has higher pursuits and believes that his life should not only have Tengda Group as a company, then he also has the right to choose other lives.

If President Pei is always tied to Tengda Group and restricted by the identity of the president, then he really does not have more time to improve himself.

So in President Pei's eyes, his temporary separation from Tengda Group is for the sake of better development prospects for both parties.

At this time, Director Zhu Xiaoce, who had been silent, raised his hand and asked, "But President Pei, if all the heads of departments make decisions together, how can we be sure that the situation in the game 'The Future You Choose' will not happen in the future?"

"Without you, I'm afraid we won't be able to resist this temptation forever."

"The four words 'no selfishness' are easy to say, but how many people can do it? If it really happens in some extreme situation, I have no doubt that many heads of departments will put personal interests or the company's interests above the interests of ordinary people."

As soon as this statement came out, the heads of departments echoed.

Obviously, they shared the same concerns as Pei Qian, especially after "The Future You Choose" had clarified this risk, more and more people realized the necessity of this concern.

Currently, Tengda Group is still in a stage of vigorous development, and the heads of departments are also selfless, but no one can be sure that this will still be the case in three years, five years, or ten years.

With President Pei, he can naturally easily suppress everyone's selfishness. Once a trend appears, he can take swift measures to prevent problems before they occur.

But if President Pei is not in the company, and a large-scale deterioration occurs in the entire group of heads of departments, who should turn the tide?

Pei Qian smiled and said, "I've also considered this matter."

"I've also made some simple arrangements for this."

"First of all, I would like to briefly share my views with you."

"I think the so-called richest man should not look at how much wealth he has, but at what he does with that wealth. Owning wealth does not equal mastering wealth. If you only think about making your wealth continue to appreciate, then you are actually just a slave to money."

"If the person who masters wealth can use this wealth to do more meaningful and valuable things, then even if he does not have too many personal assets, he is actually the real master of wealth."

"The richest man should not only have money, but also have intangible powers such as reputation, trust, and cohesion. Even if a person is temporarily materially poor, as long as he is spiritually rich, then he can also be called the richest man! Limiting the concept of the richest man only to the property that a person possesses, and judging a person by the money he possesses, is very narrow-minded. This is actually treating people as slaves to money."

"People may not be able to live without money or material possessions, but they cannot only have money and material possessions. Money is a resource, and people should know how to make good use of resources instead of becoming slaves to resources."

"I will always use this concept to restrain myself, remember that how much resources you master, you must do as much things. If you waste these resources or use them to seek personal gain, then I am a sinner."

"I hope everyone can always remember this. All of you together constitute the entity of Tengda Group. And what Tengda Group will become in the future depends on the choices of each of you."
