Chapter 749 The spirit of Tenda has been upgraded?
Liang Qingfan said: "The furniture manufacturers that were interested in cooperating with us, including the big brands, basically rejected our terms of cooperation."
"Only some less famous small brands are willing to let our inspection team supervise and supervise."
"We did a simple screening and selected a few that were relatively reliable."
"But having said that, there are actually several small brands that are very willing to cooperate with us, fully accept the supervision of the inspection team, and even actively invite us to go."
"For example, this sofa set was actually designed by me and the boss of Fanglanju. It was just shipped a few days ago."
Only then did Pei Qian notice that the sofa in this room was obviously different from the sofa in his own residence.
Liang Qingfan introduced: "The leather sofa is also electric. The single seats on the far left and right can adjust the backrests to rise and fall electrically, so you can lie down very comfortably."
"Compared with the sofa in the developer's model room on the third floor, without the imperial concubine seat, the whole sofa will not look bloated, and it is in line with the ultimate simple design; and compared with the sofa in Sloth Apartment 1.0, it can meet the needs of people lying on their backs.
"
"At the same time, the legs and armrests of the sofa are very thin and made of wood. The texture of North American black walnut is clear and the wood is dense and delicate. It feels a bit like fine fabric and has a good hand feel. It not only has clear patterns but also has a natural luster.
Both the appearance and the feel are good.”
"In addition, its hardness, density and stability are also good, and it has always been one of the high-end woods used for furniture."
“A breakthrough compared to the Sloth Apartment 1.0 model this time is that I designed this sofa together with the boss of Fanglanju. We successfully combined the black walnut armrests and the electric leather sofa, which is in line with the ultimate simplicity.
While enhancing the style, it also maximizes the practicality and quality of the sofa.”
"This can be regarded as a product of the combination of Chinese and Western cultures. I was originally worried that it would be unnatural after being displayed, but now it seems that the effect is very good."
Pei Qian asked: "Fanglanju...is a brand that makes sofas?"
Liang Qingfan smiled and shook his head: "Oh, no. Fanglanju is a furniture brand that was just established. It makes sofas, cabinets and all kinds of furniture."
"But what's different from other furniture brands is that their boss is a designer. His biggest interest is actually in design, and he strives to make all furniture in a unique style."
"Just like this sofa, I tried hard to combine Chinese-style wooden furniture with an electric sofa. This idea is quite bold. I didn't think it was reliable at first, but after I started designing it, I found that it turned out to be pretty good."
"They are one of the manufacturers most eager to cooperate with Sloth Apartment, and they also took the initiative to invite our inspection team to inspect their studio and factory."
Pei Qian: "Why?"
Liang Qingfan explained: “Because their product concept is completely consistent with the Sloth Apartment.”
"The founder of Fanglanju is a designer and wants to take the high-premium route. That means ensuring quality, after-sales service, and design, but the price is expensive."
"But a small brand with little reputation cannot take this path at all."
"The furniture industry is also very deep. Take walnut as an example. Some brands say their furniture is walnut. If you ask, they will say: This is African black walnut, or golden walnut."
, it’s the same kind of wood as North American black walnut, it’s just a different place of origin.”
"But in fact, these trees are not only different species, but also different genera and families. They have basically no relationship with each other botanically. They are also very different in appearance. Manufacturers who use this low-grade wood often do not use it when making products.
It will be very delicate. If you don’t pay attention, the visual effect of the finished furniture will be worse than that of ordinary solid wood.”
"The only one that is truly reliable is North American black walnut."
"But ordinary consumers don't understand this. They usually compare prices and buy the cheaper one."
"If a brand like Fanglanju doesn't have a very high reputation and reputation, it simply can't support a high premium. After all, other furniture brands just cut corners in terms of materials. The price of the same furniture is directly compared to Fanglanju's.
It’s possible to cut them in half, there’s no way to compete.”
"This is also the reason why many big brands are unwilling to cooperate with us: on the one hand, big brands feel that they have a big business and have no reason to be controlled by others; on the other hand, it may be because big brands also have some tricks that we cannot know about."
Liang Qingfan gently stroked the armrest of the sofa: "But things like Fanglanju are different. They are more confident in the materials and quality of their products. They would like our inspection team to go over and give them a free quality inspection."
"Moreover, after cooperating with us, you can use Sloth Apartment's brand endorsement to prove that your products are indeed excellent."
"In other words, what they lack most is the trust of consumers in them, and we can just provide them."
Pei Qian sat on the sofa and asked, "How much does this sofa cost?"
Liang Qingfan: "About thirty thousand."
Pei Qian nodded with great satisfaction: "Yes, yes, I can cooperate more with Fanglanju in the future."
Isn’t this the kind of cooperative brand that I am most satisfied with?
First of all, it is of high quality and pollution-free, ensuring that the residents of Sloth Apartment will not be harmed, and the furniture will not have any serious quality problems after a long period of renting;
Secondly, the premium is high and the price is expensive, which is very critical.
Because the model of Sloth Apartment is actually that Pei Qian pays for the house, decorates it, furnishes it with a complete set of furniture and appliances, and then rents it to customers to live in.
So, the more expensive the furniture, the more money you will spend!
The sofa that Pei Qian provided for the office area of Tenda's headquarters was priced at as high as 60,000 yuan, but after all, it was the standard for office supplies in the reception room and represented the company's face, so the system gave a high quota in an open-minded manner.
There is no way to use such expensive sofas in the Sloth Apartment. 30,000 is already relatively high.
However, compared to many ordinary sofas priced at RMB 3,000 to 5,000, a sofa priced at RMB 30,000 is already considered very high-end.
A house costs more than 20,000 yuan more for a sofa, but what about a hundred houses? What about cabinets, TV cabinets, sideboards, dining tables, bookshelves and other furniture?
After all, a little adds up to a lot!
Pei Qian walked around the room and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, the Sloth Apartment 2.0 model is doing well, let's keep pushing forward."
"By the way, don't ignore the old sloth apartment. Remember to maintain it well. If there is any problem with the house, the housekeeper of each building must report it in time and deal with it in time. Don't be afraid of spending money."
Liang Qingfan nodded quickly: "Okay, Mr. Pei."

Friday, November 18th.
Tenda Spiritual Fit Test.
All recruitment tasks at the beginning of the month have been completed, and most of the new employees have been employed for more than a week and can undergo the first mental compatibility test.
Pei Qian made a special trip to the company just to see for the first time how effective the revised Tengda Mental Test questions were.
However, Pei Qian did not go to the large conference room to invigilate the exam.
Because he doesn't want to cause some wrong misleading to everyone, once everyone knows the fact that "Mr. Pei seems to attach great importance to the Tengda Spiritual Compatibility Test", the situation may become even more uncontrollable.
Therefore, Pei Qian was still in his office, pretending that he was here for work and had no interest in the Tengda Spiritual Compatibility Test.
After the test is completed, I will secretly take a look at the answers of the new employees to determine what went wrong in the Tenda Spiritual Fit Test.
The new employees entered the large conference room with serious expressions one by one, sat down in their respective seats, and began to answer questions.
However, when they saw the title, many people had surprised expressions on their faces and subconsciously looked at other people next to them.
Why are you still filling in the blanks?
I asked the seniors before, didn’t they say there are multiple-choice questions?
The person in charge of invigilating the exam was a colleague from the human resources department. He coughed twice to remind everyone to pay attention to the order of the exam room.
The new employees didn't dare to look at each other anymore and hurriedly started answering questions.
Wu Bin was also on hand to invigilate the exam. Originally he was just going through the motions and didn’t take the proctoring exam too seriously.
Because through the unremitting efforts of him and many department heads, the originally profound and obscure Tengda spirit has gradually spread within the company and become easy to understand.
The Tengda Spirit Manual that he and Cui Geng had worked so hard to write has been distributed to the heads of various departments.
Although this manual cannot be distributed directly to all employees, especially new employees, as long as the person in charge grasps the Tengda spirit, it can subtly influence key employees and then gradually influence new employees.
Sometimes, a behavior or a word from an old employee can inadvertently reveal Tengda's spirit and set an example for new employees.
Over time, new employees will quickly adapt to this way of thinking. Before the exam, as long as the department head or old employees give a little hint, these new employees will be able to pass the test smoothly.
Therefore, so far, the pass rate of Tengda Spiritual Fit Test has been maintained at a very high level. Even if you fail to pass the test the first time, you can definitely pass it within four times.
Wu Bin thought this was just a formality, so he didn't pay much attention.
But he quickly frowned, realizing that this test seemed a little different from the previous ones.
Because he found that all these candidates were using keyboards?
This seems a little wrong?
Wu Bin himself has participated in the Tengda Spiritual Compatibility Test and has invigilated many exams. He clearly remembers that the previous tests were all multiple-choice questions that only required a mouse click.
Why do we still need to use the keyboard now?
Could it be that...the test has been upgraded? Now there are also subjective questions?
That's not right either.
In the Tengda Spiritual Fit Test, Mr. Pei decides the answers himself, and the system automatically generates the results. Now that subjective questions are added, how do you score the subjective questions?
It is impossible for Mr. Pei to read the subjective questions for so many candidates one by one, and the Human Resources Department has not received any order to "correct the Tengda Spiritual Compatibility Test questions."
So... what's going on?
Wu Bin felt very puzzled.
Is it possible that Tengda’s spirit has been upgraded again?
