Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

April 19th, Friday.

Pei Qian came to the office as usual to check on the work situation of the various departments.

"Eh? It looks like this week's work report is nothing special. It looks like the basic activities are still effective."

"What's more, I urgently added a patch to make the 'person-in-charge' segment temporarily suspended. That way, the person-in-charge should not be able to cause much of a stir, right?"

The heads of the various departments indeed had nothing to do just from the work report. They could only continue with the measures that had been set previously. They did not do anything inappropriate for the anti-Tengda Alliance.

Pei Qian could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

To him, it did not matter what these people in charge wanted to do. However, he must not collapse all the companies against Tengda Alliance at this stage.

No matter how important it was, please wait until after this cycle ended!

Pei Qian looked at the work report and heard a knock on his office door.

He looked up and saw Ma Yang, whom he had not seen in a long time.

Ma Yang's long face was filled with smiles. "Brother Qian, how's your thesis going? Do you have any hopes of obtaining an outstanding graduation thesis?"

Pei Qian sniggered. "I've only completed it step by step. I wonder what Teacher Zhang Wei will change to for me. Don't count on outstanding graduation thesis. My goal is only to pass."

"Old Ma, what's the situation on your side?"

Ma Yang said confidently, "I'm sorry, Brother Qian. I'll definitely get this outstanding graduation thesis!"

"My thesis might have been written using a part of your thesis's framework, but I think I can definitely surpass you with my ability! Brother Qian, don't be too jealous of me."

Pei Qian sniggered. Indeed, it was a familiar formula.

Even if the sky collapsed, Old Ma might not have any scientific and reasonable estimates of his true ability.

However, that was good as well. Only the everlasting Ma Yang was a trusted aide of Tengda!

Pei Qian stopped harping on this topic and asked, "How's the situation at Bunny Tail Live-Stream? Is Qiao Liang doing alright as the substitute person-in-charge?"

Ma Yang thought for a moment and said, "I think it's alright. He might not be as familiar with the business as Hu Xianbin, but he can steadily catch up to the stall that Hu Xianbin left behind. Of course, the most outstanding thing is his recording of 'The person-in-charge Said'. He ruthlessly dismantled Wolf Fang Live-Stream and Waiwai Live-Stream. I especially admire him!"

Pei Qian nodded subtly.

Indeed, after Qiao Liang became the substitute person-in-charge, he did something that was especially worth writing.

As for the other matters, they were just minor edits on the basis of Hu Xianbin's work.

Now that the segment 'The person-in-charge said' had been temporarily halted, the harm caused by Qiao Liang and the other person-in-charge could naturally be maintained within a completely controllable range.

Pei Qian asked again, "Did Qiao Liang badmouth me behind my back after the 'person-in-charge said' was suspended?"

Ma Yang smiled and said, "He definitely did in the beginning. He didn't understand it at first, but now, he completely understand your deeper intentions, Brother Qian!"

Pei Qian was stunned.

"Hm?"

"He understood my deeper meaning?"

Ma Yang nodded. "That's right, Brother Qian. Didn't you stop the 'In-charge said' segment because you wanted it to expand into ordinary netizens and ordinary people? Didn't you want to stimulate the enthusiasm of netizens and let them spontaneously dismantle these anti-Tengda Alliance companies?"

"The heads of Tengda Corporation's various departments are not the same. Anyone who has a deep connection with Tengda Alliance can become the heads of Tengda Corporation's departments."

"The person-in-charge does not only refer to the heads of Tengda's various departments. Everyone can be the person-in-charge of the industry!"

"I think this point is summarized too well. This is the deep meaning of the 'person-in-charge said'!"

Pei Qian was silent for a moment before saying, "Who told you these things?"

Old Ma could not have thought of something so ridiculous!

Ma Yang was confused. "Eh, isn't this already the consensus within Tengda Corporation? All the substitute person-in-charge already understand this point. What's more, Tengda Corporation's users are very clear about this point and actively participated in the segment 'The person-in-charge said'!"

"Brother Qian, you don't think that this is something very profound that no one knows about, do you?"

"Then you're underestimating the people in charge that you've worked so hard to nurture. You're also underestimating the customers that you've worked so hard to nurture!"

"Obviously, they are growing very quickly. They can understand and understand your intentions very quickly!"

Pei Qian blinked, stunned.

Something was amiss!

Pei Qian was very sure that he had missed something out!

He quickly opened Aili Island's website and searched for the keyword 'the person-in-charge said'.

Pei Qian was completely dumbfounded when he saw the results!

There were so many results!

Previously, Tengda Corporation's' The person-in-charge said 'had a lot of views. However, it had not been updated after Qiao Liang's video that dismantled the live-stream platform's tactics.

However, this did not affect the popularity of the person-in-charge, because mature audiences began to update on their own!

Some of the big names in the fitness industry began to dismantle the routine of Hao Shuai Fitness, some UP Masters in the Finance Channel, or UP Masters who had a certain level of attainment in the relevant professional fields, began to deeply dig out the business tactics of various companies in Tengda Alliance!

There were those who continued to whip corpses and Shengyun Express Delivery, those who targeted home take-out, the gaming industry, film industry, investment industry… There were all sorts of videos!

Of course, the quality of these videos were mixed. Some were very professional, while others were just trying to ride on the popularity.

However, it did not matter. With the high attention of video platform users, a screening mechanism naturally formed!

Professional videos obtained a lot of views and likes. In fact, they had the same effect as the person-in-charge.

On the other hand, those videos with relatively low quality might have also explained one or two problems in one aspect. Even though the impact was not huge, it had also formed a trend. It allowed viewers to see these content frequently when they refreshed the home page, adding fuel to the fire of the entire content of 'The person-in-charge said'!

It could be said that the popularity soared instantly!

The original 'The person-in-charge said' segment had actually become a benchmark. If everyone followed the routine of this segment to dismantle the business model of the Tengda Alliance, they would be able to obtain a lot of attention.

He did not even need to think too much about the content. That was because as long as he compared Tengda's business model with other companies' business models, the content would naturally be there!

To these UP Masters, this was a gain in both fame and fortune. Not only could they imitate the model of the person-in-charge and obtain a lot of attention and popularity, but they could also dismantle these wrong business models so that ordinary people could step into fewer pits. This was a merit without compare.

The UP Master's passion for creation had been stimulated, turning this incident into a new hot topic!

All the videos had the name 'The person-in-charge's words'. It meant that everyone was the person-in-charge of the industry. Even though they were not really in charge of these businesses, as consumers' behavior patterns, consumer habits, and choices would affect the direction of the entire industry!

The original 'The person-in-charge said' segment might not be updated anymore, but they would still like and share some outstanding videos every now and then to express the official attitude.

For Upwind Logistics, the greatest glory of being the person-in-charge of the series was being overtaken by the official platform.

The audience was also very happy with this interactive method. Every time the official platform reposted it, a large number of viewers would flood into the bottom of the video, instantly forming a cluster popularity.

All in all, the popularity of 'The person-in-charge's words' was not suppressed by Pei Qian's ban. Instead, it became even more popular!

Previously, only the heads of the various departments in Tengda were doing these segments. However, the speed of producing them one by one was too slow.

Now, it had suddenly become a national activity. It kept dismantling the routine and comparing it with Tengda's business model. Not only did it bring a lot of popularity to the segment 'The person-in-charge's words', but it was also equivalent to vigorously promoting Tengda's business model and advertising Tengda!

The effect of such advertisements was much more efficient than Tengda's own marketing because it was a spontaneous choice by ordinary consumers!

Scrolling through the endless videos, Pei Qian was shocked.

How did this happen?

Finished!

What was the point of pausing 'The person-in-charge's words' plan then? The people in charge would not film videos, but the big shots in various industries would!

In the end, it became even more popular!

What was this called? Was he shooting himself in the foot?

Pei Qian's head was hurting, but he could not do anything!

He could restrict 'The person-in-charge's words' segment, but he could not restrict ordinary UP Masters and ordinary consumers who participated on their own!

It could be seen from this matter that ordinary consumers hated the layers of tactics of these companies. Otherwise, they would not have exploded with such an intense reaction!

Pei Qian looked at Ma Yang, and then at the endless webpages with the keywords 'The person-in-charge's words'.

After some thought, Pei Qian sighed slightly and decided to let him be!

Since everyone hated these companies' business tactics, then take it!

Pei Qian really wanted to lose money, but he could not turn the tables at such a time. He had to respect the voice of the people.

Wouldn't it become a reaction if he went against the voice of the people?

As for himself, he could only think of other ways to lose money.

However, Tengda Corporation and the anti-Tengda Alliance fell into a deadlock once again!

From the looks of it, Tengda Corporation had the upper hand again. The public opinion on the anti-Tengda Alliance was completely suppressed.

Among them, the one who suffered the most was Hao Xian. After all, they had been beaten twice.

Especially after the internet celebrity trainers were flayed, it could be said that Hao Xianjian's reputation in the circle had plummeted. Many people who did not pay attention to the fitness industry also knew that Hao Xianjian was very unprofessional and hired a group of internet celebrity trainers to deceive their own students.

Hao Xian Fitness was also in a dilemma. If he said that he had been deceived by these internet celebrity trainers, he would say that he was very unprofessional and did not understand fitness at all. If he said that he knew fitness, why did he not notice such a low-level scam like the internet celebrity trainers? Wasn't this obviously cheating his own students?

All in all, he was in trouble!

Coupled with the dark history from before, the reputation of Haoxiu Gym was completely ruined. It was a relatively large chain gym but its price kept decreasing. It was barely maintained by relying on the other companies in the Tengda Alliance to transfuse blood.

The customer flow had greatly decreased now. It was impossible for the other companies in the Tengda Alliance to transfuse blood to Haoxiu Gym without limit.

As the segment 'The person-in-charge's words' expanded from Tengda to the entire industry, Haoxiu Gym had actually been sentenced to death. It was just a matter of time.

Pei Qian felt exhausted. "Forget it, forget it. We struggled this month. In the end, Tengda has nothing to do, but the anti-Tengda Alliance is getting worse! Let the people in charge in the last week stabilize themselves a little. Don't fight the anti-Tengda Alliance to the death. I also hope that the anti-Tengda Alliance will think about how to achieve some results. Don't let Tengda benefit every time we attack!"

Pei Qian was a little anxious. He could not wait to roll up his sleeves and take the field personally to show Nie Yunsheng the way!
