Chapter 659: The Handbook of Tengda Spirit

Pei Qian was utterly dizzy after watching Teacher Qiao’s video.

It was totally unfounded!

He thought that He An’s long Weibo post was ridiculous enough; he never thought that there was something that could top that!

At least He An focused his energy on explaining the game Struggle, which was relatively acceptable to Pei Qian.

Struggle was an interactive movie game after all. The investment itself was huge, and the payback cycle was long. He would not be able to make a profit in this settlement cycle itself.

However, what did Teacher Qiao do now?

He linked Struggle with Tengda Games’ other industries!

In other words, a phenomenon-level game like ‘Struggle’ was equivalent to advertising for other Tengda Industries!

It was true that many players did not purchase the game but chose to go through cloud clearance. However, these players were also paying attention to the interpretation of the game ‘Struggle’.

Therefore, the video posted by Teacher Qiao on Aili Island became a great hit instantly overnight. So much so that it was ranked first in popularity ranking!

Therefore, the cloud players that did not want to purchase the game found a place to purchase it!

Some ordered a Fully-Automated Bickering Machine, some decided to order Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, some of them decided to sign up for Deposit Fitness, and some were going to book a train ticket to Jingzhou to experience the Thriller Hostel and the Fish-Catching Internet Cafe…

In short, all the industries in Tengda Life App had been affected!

The money that the game did not earn would soon come to Pei Qian in another way.

Pei Qian nearly fainted from anger on the spot.

Teacher Qiao, are you f*cking mad?!

How did you manage it so forcefully?

Moreover, something lacking from the ‘Thriller Hostel’ was really filled by Teacher Qiao!

It was just that the thing that Teacher Qiao used to fill it was Boss Pei…

The biggest problem now was that, in the future, the saying that ‘Boss Pei likes haunted houses and extreme sports’ will be spread more widely to the point where everyone would know.

That was too scary!

In particular, the phrase ‘quiet led to minimalist philosophy; movement led to the haunted house and the pendulum rides’. It was simply a killer.

Pei Qian felt that he could not explain it anymore. He had no relation with the amusement park and the haunted houses in this lifetime anymore.

There would be countless people inviting Boss Pei to experience the pendulum rides when he had to show up in the amusement park.

It seemed like he could only shrink deeper into the darkness and not show up in public; otherwise, their lives would be in danger!

Pei Qian flipped through various comments at the bottom of the video and on the webpage, and he found that the popularity had spread to the other industries of Tengda thanks to the video of Teacher Qiao.

Even ROF Computer-Installations, OTTO cell phones, and shared phone booths—which had been silent for a long time—had been revived.

However, these departments did not give Pei Qian the good news.

Obviously, everyone was embarrassed to bother Boss Pei because of the good news.

In the eyes of the people-in-charge of the departments, the interpretation by Teacher Qiao was arranged by Boss Pei early in the morning!

Why bother to announce the good news if Boss Pei planned it all out? It would seem like they were asking for credit when it was obviously Boss Pei’s contribution.

Therefore, the people-in-charge of the various departments were all busy entertaining a large number of new customers and did not trouble the Boss Pei because of this matter.

Everyone knew that Boss Pei was an avid thinker now.

He must be somewhere thinking if he did not appear in the company.

To interrupt Boss Pei at this time was to affect the interest of Tengda Corporation. Who would dare be that scapegoat?

Therefore, everyone would be more careful before they went to report to Boss Pei in the future. They would definitely not report trivial stuff to Boss Pei anymore.

Pei Qian felt melancholic.

He once again had the idea of hiring assassins to get rid of Teacher Qiao.

The system funds might not allow him to be reimbursed, but Pei Qian had some savings after all…

However, it was just a thought; he quickly dispelled that idea.

He could only sigh, ask the waiter to bring the laptop over, and start thinking in advance how to spend money during this cycle.

The waiter could not help but feel moved when he saw Boss Pei start working without even eating first.

It was like what Teacher Qiao said: Boss Pei was thinking all the time.

Teacher Qiao did not deceive us!

…

On the 16th floor of Shenhua View, at the HR department of Tengda Corporation…

“Finally done!”

Wu Bin and Cui Geng were celebrating excitedly.

Wu Bin suddenly realized his mission during the recruitment examinations for Tengda’s recruitment drive more than four months ago: to make more explanations for the Tengda spirit!

There were now three major items to Tengda spirit:

Work efficiently; focus on innovation…

Obey the leader, maintain independent thinking…

Work-life balance, long-term goals!

However, obviously, it did not represent Boss Pei’s true thinking since it was just a one-sided interpretation.

Moreover, it could only provide guidance to Tengda’s employees.

Therefore, Wu Bin and Cui Geng had been following in Boss Pei’s footsteps for more than four months; interviewing many people’s views on Boss Pei; and carefully identifying, selecting, organizing them into a book for a comprehensive and detailed explanation of the Tengda spirit.

They interviewed Boss Li, Liang Qingfan, Qiao Liang, and Ruan Guangjian and saw four completely different images of Boss Pei from them.

In Boss Li’s eyes, Boss Pei was a business genius who had both ‘cold’ and ‘generous’ characteristics.

As a strategist and business genius, Boss Pei had always remained calm and able to make the most correct decisions. He had always put Tengda’s interests first and had never been emotional.

At the same time, Boss Pei was very good at cooperating with the other people. Boss Pei would be very generous with sharing profits as long as there was a partner who firmly followed Boss Pei.

In Boss Li’s own words: ‘Boss Pei is the perfect blend between the cunning of a sly old fox and the idealism of a young man’.

In Liang Qingfan’s eyes, Boss Pei’s pursuit of the ultimate art was endless. Boss Pei did not intend to compromise and would not give up his pursuit of the ultimate art even if it may lead to the failure of the Sloth Apartments.

In Teacher Qiao’s eyes, Boss Pei was a broad-minded person who could even become close friends with the most eccentric collaborators. He could also see problems from a more detached perspective.

At the same time, Boss Pei was a unique expresser.

This point was made very clear in Teacher Qiao’s new video.

In the eyes of Ruan Guangjian, Boss Pei was a very conscientious client. He broke the vicious cycle of mutual distrust and the zero-sum game between the client and the freelancer, allowing both parties to establish mutual trust.

Extending from this point, it could be seen that Boss Pei had broken this zero-sum game and established mutual trust in these three aspects:

Client and Freelancer…

Boss and Employees…

Producers and Consumers…

Obviously, it was now known that Liang Qingfan’s judgment was wrong since not only did Boss Pei pay attention to the ultimate artistry of the Sloth Apartments, but he also foresaw its success. Like in the game ‘Struggle’, it achieved perfect unity with commercial interests.

The statements of Boss Li and Ruan Guangjian actually had some common points which could be viewed together.

Breaking the ‘zero-sum game’ did not only emphasize the attitude toward the partners, but also the dialectical relationship between immediate and long-term interests.

Therefore, Wu Bin added new explanations for the Tengda spirit other than the three major items:

He would also seek mutual benefit and win-win cooperation with other partners on the basis of safeguarding Tengda’s interest.

The perfect unity of the artistry and commercial interest… it was necessary to maintain the pursuit of elegance while making profits…

Think about the problems from a helicopter perspective, have a broad mind, break the zero-sum game, and strive to find a win-win solution…

The first two points could be regarded as an attitude and direction, and the third point could be regarded as a methodology.

They could be condensed into six points if compared to the original three Tengda spirit and removing the repetitive content:

Work efficiently and focus more on innovation…

Obey the leadership but more importantly, think independently…

To work hard but also to combine work and rest…

To serve the customers while chasing artistic pursuits…

To thrive in business would require win-win situations…

To be in the present but also have long term visions…

The first three points could be regarded as the Tengda spirit that every employee must abide by and the latter three points could be regarded as the Tengda spirit for the entire company in the business world, society, partners, and customers.

These six points were all condensed with countless experiences; each one of them was taken out separately, and some cases could be explained.

Boss Pei had been using his actions to explain the Tengda spirit.

Moreover, this internal reading on the Tengda spirit has also explained the meaning and cited a case study behind each article, which could be used to better understand how Boss Pei and his Tengda Corporation did and to obtain a better understanding of the Tengda spirit.

For more than four months, Wu Bin and Cui Geng jointly wrote such a book.

It was just a small booklet, but every word in it was meticulously crafted—a thousand words of gold.

For some reason, Wu Bin suddenly had an idea. He wanted to give Boss Pei a title like in a fantasy novel.

Pei Qian, the Silent and Lonely Expresser, Pursuer of Art, Breaker of the Zero-Sum Game, Interpreter of the Tengda spirit, Pioneer of Healthy Living, Investor of Dreams, Advertiser in the Era of Peace, He who Truly Controlled Wealth, Light of Domestically-Produced and Standalone Games…

It might seem a little strange, but every title was appropriate!

Print it on the last page of the book as an Easter egg.

Wu Bin let out a sigh. It was finally done!

The Tengda spirit might continue to expand in the future, but this book had summarized things that Tengda employees would probably take a long time to learn.

“I have asked Ma Yiqun to urgently publish it. They should be on time. In the most optimistic case, they could be done within a week!

“The Zhongdian Chinese Network would pay for it. Every core staff employee would have one copy each so that everyone could better learn from the Tengda spirit!”

Wu Bin was very satisfied with his work.

Who said that the HR department was a lackey, henchman, or a lapdog?

I am also contributing to Tengda and to society at large!
