Chapter 417 E-sports club
Pei Qian yawned in the office.
The company's heater is turned on very high, making people drowsy.
Although it was a little inappropriate to fish for fish on the first day of work, Pei Qian really didn't have anything else to do.
Although it feels like there are a lot of things to be busy with, as if countless bloody sharp knives are waiting to be stabbed in the back, but when I think about it carefully, I really can’t think of what I should do now.
Open the tpdb website and see which other projects need to be "improved".
Then Pei Qian's eyes immediately fell on Moyu Internet Cafe.
Come to think of it, I have always wanted to open a Moyu Internet Cafe near my parents’ house!
You should also open a store near your newly purchased house, so be prepared and make plans in advance.
In short, no matter where you live in the future, you can find a Moyu Internet cafe within a few steps of your home.
Thinking of this, Pei Qian immediately sent a message to Zhang Yuan and asked him to come over.
Zhang Yuan usually stays at the Moyu Internet Cafe Handong University store, dealing with matters related to the Internet cafe and ROF installation, and today is no exception.
So, we arrived in a few minutes.
"How's the handover going?"
Not long after Zhang Yuangang sat down, Pei Qian asked straight to the point.
"Mr. Pei, today is just your first day at work..."
Zhang Yuan was a little speechless, and also showed a little bit of reluctance.
After being selected as an outstanding employee, Zhang Yuan has received a dream fund of one million, but this also means that he must give up all his duties as an Internet cafe and ROF installation.
Of course Zhang Yuan was not happy.
Because whether it was Moyu Internet Cafe or ROF installation, he had done a great job. Even if his salary and benefits did not change at all, he would not be willing to change to other positions.
However, Pei Qian would definitely not agree.
Because the first place elimination system was established to eliminate these people!
Being judged as an outstanding employee means that he has done an outstanding job in this position. So for Mr. Pei, such an employee who has been the biggest threat to him in the past six months must be clearly arranged for him.
Therefore, we must beat Zhang Yuan to the end as quickly as possible.
Pei Qian could see Zhang Yuan's dissatisfaction, and his face darkened: "The efficiency is too slow. I will give you three days to complete the work handover, put down all the work of Moyu Internet Cafe and rof installation, and then submit the list of people to be promoted to the human resources
Ministry of Resources.”
Zhang Yuan had nothing to say and could only nod: "Yes, Mr. Pei."
Pei Qian added: "By the way, during the handover, I will tell the new person in charge that two more Moyu Internet Cafes 1.0 will be opened in these two places."
Pei Qian pointed out on the map where his parents lived and the location of his new house.
Zhang Yuan looked at these two places, slightly confused.
One is in a small county around Jingzhou, and the other is near a high-speed rail station that has not yet been opened in Jingzhou.
What special location advantages do these two places have that warrant Mr. Pei’s special emphasis on opening a Moyu Internet Cafe each?
You know, last time Mr. Pei asked about Moyu Internet Cafe, but the "Moyu Complex" opened in Lincheng City had an investment of tens of millions. Logically speaking, Mr. Pei should choose the location of these two small Internet cafes.
There's no need to ask.
However, Zhang Yuan had long been accustomed to Mr. Pei's special location selection skills, so he naturally didn't ask much about it. He just wrote it down silently and prepared to pass it on to his successor.
After making arrangements for Moyu Internet Cafe, Pei Qian asked again: "Have you decided how to spend the Dream Fund? Don't worry, if one million is not enough, you can add more."
The One Million Dream Fund was a standard established in the early days of Tenda Group. At that time, Tenda did not have such a big industry as it is now, and it was not easy to squeeze out one million.
But as Tengda grew bigger and bigger and made more and more money, a mere one million was only a drop in the bucket. For Mr. Pei, who was in urgent need of spending money, there was no way to quench his thirst.
Therefore, Pei Qian casually asked if Zhang Yuan's dream was outrageous, he wouldn't mind giving him more money.
Of course, if Zhang Yuan's dream is too utilitarian, then he will never give him an extra penny.
Zhang Yuan thought for a while: "Uh... Mr. Pei, I thought about it carefully during the vacation. My initial idea is to start a small e-sports club."
Esports club?
Pei Qian was slightly surprised.
He originally thought that Zhang Yuan would continue to mess with him about installing the machine, but he didn't expect that he would think about it.
Pei Qian was still very satisfied with this answer.
Because e-sports clubs burn money very quickly, and only a small part of them can actually make a profit.
What's more, in 2011, the e-sports industry was still very small. There were no large-scale events around the world, and many professional players were still sleeping on the curb and eating instant noodles.
Nowadays, those who engage in e-sports are basically rich second-generation people who play for tickets. It can be said that they are very popular with Pei Qian.
Even if Zhang Yuan didn't mention it, Pei Qian has already thought about setting up an e-sports club for fun!
Pei Qian immediately smiled and raised his thumb: "Not bad, a good idea!"
Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment. He felt that Mr. Pei's expression when he heard the news was even happier than when the price of memory modules increased.
"Is one million enough? The players have worked hard to play the game. We cannot make them suffer. The treatment must be adequate! If it is not enough, feel free to ask me for money!" Pei Qian immediately became excited.
Zhang Yuan quickly waved his hand: "No, no, no, Mr. Pei, I have to test the waters and explore the way in the early stage. After all, I have no experience in this area."
"Well...well, if you need money, please feel free to speak." Pei Qian reluctantly agreed.
Obviously, Zhang Yuan had some fun mentality, so he didn't dare to ask for more money.
If we really want to seriously build a building by ourselves, complete all supporting facilities, and then pay a high price to recruit a few star players, then this million will not even be enough to fill the gap between our teeth.
Nowadays, most so-called e-sports clubs and game studios have not been completely separated. There are so many rooms and computers, and they dare to call themselves e-sports clubs.
This is probably what Zhang Yuan wants to do.
Of course Pei Qian couldn't accept it and had to pay more.
But this matter cannot be rushed. Forcibly giving money now may put some pressure on Zhang Yuan, giving him the illusion that Mr. Pei attaches great importance to this project and must do his best to do it well.
If Zhang Yuan is hit with chicken blood and Mr. Pei's "encouragement buff" takes effect, the consequences will be disastrous.
Therefore, Pei Qian did not force it.
After the club opens, Pei Qian will definitely go to inspect it, then pick and choose, and just add money in a clever way.
"Okay, then go ahead and get busy. Remember, the work handover will be completed within three days, so hurry up and transfer all your energy to the e-sports club."
Pei Qian gave some more instructions and sent Zhang Yuan away.
Then, Pei Qian quickly ran through the things in his mind that he had not had time to deal with a year ago.
By the way, come here!
Pei Qian immediately called He Desheng.
Although other projects are also dangerous, this one seems to be the most dangerous.
Years ago, Pei Qian updated Xueba Kuai Lai to a new version, which completely eliminated the possibility of using it as a social software. This caused the software's popularity and traffic to plummet, and all the previously spent promotional funds were in vain.
I originally planned to make this project a complete failure in one go, but I never expected that by telling the truth to those investors, I actually attracted more than 7 million yuan in investment.
Even if he refused to listen, Pei Qian had no choice but to find a way to continue burning money!
As for how it was burned, Pei Qian wasn't sure. He Desheng took care of it, so he had to take the time to ask.
The call was answered quickly.
He Desheng seemed to be prepared and answered Mr. Pei's questions fluently.
"This money is mainly spent in three areas."
"The first is the development of other functions. Currently, only offline meetings are supported. After the development of new functions, top students and low-achieving students will be allowed to open the camera to video lectures. It can also have a built-in question bank to search for correct answers and explanations by taking photos. The functions will be richer and oriented to
The crowd is also wider.”
"The second thing is publicity."
"Finally, there are subsidies, which allow low-achieving students to spend less and top students to earn more."
"The good news is that with our promotion, Shared Learning has taken root in first-tier cities with rich educational resources such as Imperial Capital, Magic Capital, and Yangcheng, and daily living expenses are rising steadily!"
Pei Qian decisively interrupted: "I don't want to hear good news, just tell me bad news."
"Uh..." He Desheng originally had a series of good news to say, but Mr. Pei stopped him with one sentence, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"The bad news is that the current model may be a bit unsustainable. I'm afraid that after the heat has passed, it won't have enough stamina and only a piece of chicken feathers will be left."
"In fact, the current model of academic masters coming quickly has caused widespread discussion, and there are many unfavorable voices."
Um?
Not optimistic about the sound?
Then I definitely have to listen to it!
While Pei Qian was on the phone, he searched the web for relevant discussions about Xueba coming soon.
As a result, after a little research, I found that there were indeed a lot of discussions, but not many "disliked voices"!
"Come on, the top students: a new direction for educational software!"
"Xueba, please come and revise the version to eliminate possible safety hazards. This move must be praised!"
"Come here, top students, knowledge sharing is on the way!"
Pei Qian glanced briefly and felt his heart beat faster and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"How can there be any unfavorable voices? This is obviously a good review?" Pei Qian said confused.
He Desheng hurriedly explained: "Oh, Mr. Pei, most of the reports you saw were stuffed with money, and some of the discussions were also done by the trolls we invited. Part of the seven million was spent here..."
"Mr. Pei, this idea did not come from me! It was requested by other investors..."
He Desheng knew that Mr. Pei didn't like this kind of publicity method, so he decisively dumped the blame.
Pei Qian breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that so many people were claiming to be fake. I was shocked.
I thought so many people really praised this project!
Chapter completed!
