He was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Does it matter when the debt is paid off?"
Pei Qian nodded: "Yes."
Of course, the time is the same. The sooner you pay off your debt, the sooner you complete more reverse publicity, and the faster I will become the richest man.
What’s the difference if it’s earlier or later?
Meng Chang was a little confused.
He originally thought that Pei would always say something like "You can come and go freely when the time comes" and let him make his own choice.
In that way, Meng Chang can repay his debts with confidence. If he is given a choice, he will definitely continue to stay in Tenda.
But he never expected that Mr. Pei would say this.
What does this mean?
Didn’t Mr. Pei train me as the successor of Pei’s propaganda method? Then why do you say that after paying off the debt, there is no need to stay in Tenda?
This is strange and a bit unreasonable.
But Meng Chang didn't say anything more. This issue is very profound and cannot be figured out in two or three minutes. You can't just stay in Mr. Pei's office and think about this issue all the time, right?
So he decided to leave first, and then slowly consider what Mr. Pei's words meant.
…
After leaving Mr. Pei's office, Meng Chang went to the advertising and marketing department and sat down at his desk.
He did not immediately consider a new publicity plan, but first thought hard about what Mr. Pei's previous words meant.
At first glance, Mr. Pei’s words were very strange and completely inconsistent with Meng Chang’s previous inferences about Mr. Pei.
But Meng Chang believed that Mr. Pei definitely didn't say this for no reason, and there must be some deep internal logic behind it.
"If you want to understand Mr. Pei's deep meaning, you must start with Mr. Pei's overall layout."
"Mr. Pei has a clear plan for the development of Tenda, which is to teach the heads of each department a series of 'secrets' such as his own game production methods, marketing and publicity methods, investment methods, Tenda spirit, etc.
To the people in charge."
"After all the people in charge are trained into talents who can act independently, the entire Tengda can still maintain the established track without being independent of President Pei's will, and then President Pei can be free and retire."
"And Mr. Pei's arrangement for me should be the successor and propagandist of the 'Pei's Propaganda Law'."
"But as the successor, shouldn't Mr. Pei hope that I will stay in Tengda?"
"My understanding of Mr. Pei is definitely correct. That means... there is something wrong with my understanding of the concept of 'successor'?"
"The successor Mr. Pei is considering is different from the successor in the general sense?"
"Well, that should be the reason!"
"What Mr. Pei needs is for Pei's propaganda method to be passed on and spread, instead of stopping at me."
"Others, such as game production methods, investment methods, Tengda spirit, etc., also need to be passed on and spread, and it cannot just stop at the person in charge."
"That's why Mr. Pei constantly transfers the heads of the game department to other positions in the hope of accelerating this inheritance!"
After thinking about this, Meng Chang couldn't help but sigh again, Mr. Pei is indeed Mr. Pei, he can see so far!
Most people are completely unaware that there is anything wrong, and there is also a problem here with Mr. Pei!
Many CEOs of large companies often face the dilemma of not having a successor, so that they have to work until they die of old age and cannot retire at all.
Because there is no suitable successor, the company will fall apart as soon as he retires.
Therefore, the presidents of many large companies will consciously train successors. As long as the successors can maintain their success, the large companies can live well by relying on their previous good foundation and market advantage.
The ability to cultivate excellent successors is obviously also an important evaluation criterion for whether a CEO of a large company is excellent.
But just doing this is obviously not enough.
Mr. Pei was not satisfied with this at all, but went to a higher level.
It is not enough to only train one or a few successors. Because some successors may seem good at first, but then become less and less good. This incompetence may be due to ability or attitude.
, either his ability has declined, or his thinking has deteriorated.
And even if you are lucky and the successor you train succeeds, what happens next?
If the successor trains the successor, can he still have such good luck?
Just like in ancient feudal countries, it is certainly a good thing that the emperor gives birth to a wise son, but can you guarantee that every future emperor will give birth to a wise prince?
If it is passed down like this, sooner or later it will regress, and each generation will become worse than the last. This is an irreversible process.
According to the most trouble-free method, Mr. Pei can completely teach his game production methods to the person in charge of the game department, and then not let him move away, and continue to make games and take over his work.
Just like the master of a sect in some martial arts novels, if his disciples are not qualified, he will pass on many of his skills to different disciples.
In this way, your unique skills will not be lost, and your sect will not decline in a short period of time.
But in this way, the final result will inevitably be that one generation is inferior to the other.
Mr. Pei is well versed in human nature, so he has no trust in people.
This is not to say that he does not trust his people in charge, but that he understands the weaknesses of human nature, and also knows how to plan ahead and plan for the long term, so that the route he designs is as less affected by subjective factors as possible.
Mr. Pei chose a more long-term approach. By constantly mobilizing the people in charge and cultivating their comprehensive abilities, everyone can be independent. At the same time, potential people in the department can be promoted quickly and the person in charge can be mastered.
skills.
In this way, there is no risk of sudden faults.
If Mr. Pei just passed on Pei's propaganda method to Meng Chang, what if Meng Chang was poached midway? What if he started his own business? Or simply betrayed the spirit of Tengda?
Meng Chang realized that in Mr. Pei's view, he should be just a springboard, used to pass on Pei's propaganda method.
After thinking about this level, it is not difficult to understand the meaning of Mr. Pei's words.
If according to Mr. Pei's plan, Meng Chang paid off his debts by taking commissions, it would definitely be many years later. Pei's propaganda method should have spread throughout Tengda, and Meng Chang is by no means the only one who masters it.
Under such circumstances, there is really no need for Meng Chang to stay.
Because anyone can do publicity work, and Meng Chang should go out into society and play a greater role and value, instead of staying in Tengda, doing his old job of marketing and publicity, and standing still.
"So, Mr. Pei still highly recognizes me. He doesn't completely see me as a subordinate or successor, but sees me as an independent person who is not attached to Tengda? Encourage me to study after I finish my studies.
Go start a business in society and exert greater value?”
"But if I pay off my debt now, so what..."
Before Meng Chang left, he added a special sentence and asked if it would be the same regardless of when the debt was paid off. Mr. Pei gave an affirmative answer.
This also made Meng Chang a little confused.
According to Mr. Pei's plan, it will take at least a few years for Pei's propaganda method to spread in Tengda.
Meng Chang is so smart, it took him more than a year to learn Pei's propaganda method before he mastered it. If he wants to pass it on layer by layer, how can it be accomplished overnight?
But if Meng Chang has paid off his debts now and has to leave Tengda before the inheritance of Pei's propaganda method is completed, why is this?
"Could it be that... Mr. Pei thinks that I am not on the right track because of this?"
Meng Chang suddenly thought of this possibility.
Obviously, according to the normal process, Meng Chang spent several years studying at Tengda and promoting Pei's propaganda method. After the promotion was completed, he just relied on commissions to pay off his debts.
But if his debt repayment is much ahead of schedule, it means that in addition to using Pei's propaganda method, he also used other methods to make extra money outside.
Mr. Pei obviously does not support these approaches.
Could it be that President Pei felt that he could not encourage this evil trend and could not allow problems in the communication of Pei's propaganda method, which was completely off track from top to bottom, so he asked Meng Chang to leave immediately?
Thinking of this, Meng Chang broke into a cold sweat.
Fortunately, I didn't tell Mr. Pei about repaying the debt, otherwise something big would have happened!
President Pei will definitely drive him out of Tenda by then.
Now for Meng Chang, paying off debts is no longer his first goal. What he cares more about is how to learn real skills from Mr. Pei.
So, we can’t pay off the debt now!
Not only could I not repay my debt, I also had to find a way to get rid of some of the ill-gotten gains.
It is definitely impossible to completely give up making extra money. Meng Chang is still not as high as Mr. Pei, but for peace of mind, it is still okay to use the money to do some good things within his ability.
Even if Mr. Pei really discovers Meng Chang's behavior of making extra money by then, as long as he knows that he has done good things with the money, he should be lenient.
After thinking about all this, Meng Chang felt suddenly enlightened and quickly made a decision.
…
After sending Meng Chang away, Pei Qian continued to think about spending money unexpectedly.
"Who would have thought that "Successor", which seemed so reliable, would also have problems?"
"Hey, these people in charge are really unreliable!"
"It's better to raise an animal than to raise this group of responsible people. At least the animal won't think about stabbing me in the back when it's full of food and drink. But it's different with people..."
"Hey, wait."
"animal?"
Pei Qian's eyes suddenly lit up and he had an idea.
The amusement park has already opened, so what about opening a zoo?
Animals are so simple-minded. They only eat and sleep every day, so they won't backstab themselves anymore, right?
Moreover, the expenses of the zoo are also very high. We need to provide the animals with the best living environment, food, clothing, housing and transportation... Oh no, animals do not need to consider clothing and transportation, but just housing and food is very expensive!
Moreover, providing a better living environment for animals is unlimited.
Opening a zoo requires a huge initial investment, a lot of funds are needed to maintain operations, and the subsequent expansion is also very strong.
