Chapter 1284: The Confident Meng Chang Is Back!
October 31st, Wednesday…
Meng Chang came to Boss Pei’s office in high spirits. He tidied his appearance and knocked on the door very steadily.
Knock, knock, knock.
“Enter.”
Pei Qian naturally smiled when he saw that it was Meng Chang.
“Come, sit.”
“The publicity for Suffering Travels has won my heart! It’s a plan that I’m very satisfied with.”
“Take a look at the commission this month.”
Pei Qian handed his laptop over as he spoke.
Meng Chang reached out to take it and scanned it briefly.
This month’s commission was about 110,000 yuan. It was more than the 98,000 yuan that he had obtained from the Dawn of Games platform previously.
The last time he did not get a full commission was because the promotional plan for the Dawn Games platform did not burn much money. What’s more, there was too much negative news. It caused a wide range of hot discussions and had an objective publicity effect.
Negative popularity was also popularity.
On the other hand, the publicity plan for Suffering Travels had been bought in large quantities into office buildings, public transport, subways, and other advertisements. The expenses were huge, but it had not caused much popularity.
Many people just laughed it off when they saw it and knew that there was something called Suffering Travels.
As there was no negative news, the netizens did not fight it out. Everyone treated it as a joke and enjoyed it. Thus, the publicity effect was even worse than when they recruited the game platform.
Of course, since he did not get a full commission, it meant that there was still a flaw in the plan this time.
The biggest problem was time.
The entire publicity plan for Suffering Travels was released a little too late, so the heat at the end of the month had not completely passed. The residual heat slightly affected the commission limit.
However, this was a huge improvement for Meng Chang.
What’s more, Meng Chang was already very indifferent to the commission problem now.
Meng Chang’s mentality had become very stable after so many ups and downs, and he had passed by commission so many times.
He had slowly understood Boss Pei’s deeper intentions.
Commission? That was just a number.
Boss Pei was teaching him how to publicize!
What’s more, this was not just a simple theory teaching. Boss Pei obviously combined theory and practice, and he paid a lot of attention to the method of teaching.
He got Meng Chang to be in charge of publicity for Tengda’s various industries. Boss Pei would correct any deviations in the process. Boss Pei would even back him up when he was about to mess up.
What’s more, Boss Pei was not filling in the gaps between the lessons. Instead, he was letting Meng Chang comprehend it bit by bit.
This method of teaching was so in-depth that Meng Chang improved rapidly!
Meng Chang felt that his way of thinking had changed a lot during the time he looked back and joined Tengda.
Previously, his eyes had only been staring at the commission. It was just like when he was working on the publicity plan. He only knew how to stare at the popularity.
However, he did not know that he had only seen trees, no forest, picked up sesame seeds, and lost a watermelon.
The original way of thinking could bring him popularity, but it also planted the seed of failure.
Now, Meng Chang has learned to look at the problem in the long term. Naturally, he no longer cared so much about the commission.
As long as he understood Boss Pei’s publicity method, wouldn’t it be easy to get as much commission as he wanted?
What’s more, Boss Pei’s teaching was priceless. Many people wanted to learn it, but they did not have the means!
From this perspective, not only did Boss Pei not accept his tuition fees, but he even gave him a commission. This was simply a mountain of kindness.
Once he figured this problem out, Meng Chang no longer cared about the commission.
He only wanted to learn from Boss Pei as soon as possible. Then, he would be able to show what he had learned in Tengda and other places. He would be able to make everyone look at him differently!
Therefore, Meng Chang only scanned the number briefly and had a rough idea.
He handed the laptop back. “Boss Pei, what’s the plan for next month?”
Pei Qian took the computer and could not help but look at Meng Chang in a new light.
Yo, this young man is getting better and better!
Meng Chang used to look like he had nothing to live for at the end of every month when the commission was calculated. He would not be able to lift his spirits at all after receiving the new mission next month. It was just like a criminal on death row choosing a different way to die.
But now?
After receiving the commission, he nonchalantly and proactively asked about the contents of the next month’s project. He began to plan the publicity plan in advance.
Perfect!
Meng Chang, Meng Chang, you’ve finally been nurtured by me. I didn’t waste so much effort!
Pei Qian had wanted to talk to Meng Chang about Suffering Travels and discuss the deeper intentions behind this plan. He wanted to analyze the pros and cons with him. However, on further thought, it was a little unnecessary.
Meng Chang had already gotten a commission. Didn’t that prove that their brainwaves were synchronized?
Meng Chang was more passionate now. He could not let him be immersed in past success. He had to enter the preparation stage of the next project as soon as possible.
At that thought, Pei Qian nodded. “The project next month will be the real estate agent simulator.”
“According to the previous development progress, this game will be officially released at the end of next month.”
“You can understand the details of this game in advance and think about how to publicize it.”
“Actually, I also held back the publicity plan I made for the VR glasses the last time. It was not particularly successful. This time, I’m going to work with Slow Movement Studio. You have to summarize the experience and lessons from the last time and try to do better.”
Pei Qian was personally in charge of the publicity of the VR glasses the last time. Meng Chang was only in charge of filming a concept promotional video.
That was because Meng Chang always failed and was very determined to leave. Thus, Pei Qian only had to personally show him the right way to get commission.
However, it did look very difficult to get a commission. Pei Qian had worked so hard for a long time only to get an additional 2,000 yuan guaranteed commission for Meng Chang. In addition to his base salary, it was a total of 6,000 yuan.
Pei Qian had put in a lot of effort, but in the end, Teacher Qiao’s video had still ignited popularity. The Doubt VR glasses and Animal Island VR had become popular together.
That was why Pei Qian said that the previous plan was not perfect.
However, he definitely could not say that he had tried his best because that would severely affect Meng Chang’s confidence.
Wouldn’t it make Meng Chang feel that Boss Pei was making things difficult for him if he did not get a full commission after spending so much effort?
That was why Pei Qian said nonchalantly that he had held back on his publicity plan the last time, so it was not particularly successful.
He wanted Meng Chang to summarize his experience and lessons so that he could do better.
Meng Chang nodded immediately. “I understand, Boss Pei.”
In his opinion, the publicity plan for the Doubt VR glasses could not be more successful.
Boss Pei’s performance art-style announcement simply gave the VR glasses a soul. The entire process also showed Meng Chang the textbook-like standard operating method of Pei’s publicity method.
Yet, Boss Pei said that he was not particularly successful? He was still holding back?
It looked like Boss Pei had set the standards for ‘success’ too high.
Boss Pei’s true standard was too unfathomable.
Such a perfect plan was not perfect in Boss Pei’s eyes. There was still room for improvement.
Indeed, Boss Pei did not get a full commission at that time, but that was obviously because he did not want Meng Chang to reap the benefits without working hard. Thus, he only took a guaranteed commission.
The method had been completely displayed. As long as Meng Chang controlled the timing, it would only be a matter of time before the two thousand yuan became two hundred thousand yuan.
Boss Pei asked him to summarize the experience and lessons from the previous time. Obviously, he wanted to revise and digest the lessons at that time. He did not want to be complacent and slow down because of the commission this time. Instead, he wanted to continue learning and improve.
Meng Chang had already experienced the profoundness of the Pei family’s publicity method.
Previously, he felt that he had already understood the essence. In the end, Eternal Reincarnation gave him a blow on the head. He nearly stabbed a hole in the roof. Boss Pei was the one who dealt with it.
Now, he knew that he had only grasped the surface. He did not dare to be arrogant.
The next publicity plan was “Real estate agent simulator”. This was a VR game that Boss Pei had given creativity and Slow Movement Studio was in charge of.
Previously, Meng Chang’s biggest headache was the publicity plan for the game because it was too difficult.
Tengda’s other businesses might not be able to make money for now, but it was very rare for games to not become popular once they were released.
Therefore, Meng Chang wanted to die when he encountered the game project previously.
However, the situation was different now. Meng Chang was no longer afraid of challenges after mastering the Pei family’s publicity method.
This was just like a question. When one did not know how to solve the problem, they would only want to tear the paper when they encountered difficult questions. However, if they knew how to understand the problem, simple questions would be meaningless. If they really began to study difficult questions, they would feel immersed.
Meng Chang was in such a state at that moment. He had become positive and full of fighting spirit again as if he had returned to his high-spirited self.
However, he had been in high spirits because he had been young and frivolous. He had been arrogant because of his talent. He had not known that there was always a higher mountain.
In his current state, he had seen the highest mountain and found the path to climb. Thus, he regained his fighting spirit.
It looked like they were in similar states, but there was a fundamental difference.
Pei Qian was very happy to see Meng Chang so confident.
“Alright, go back and prepare well. Make sure you’re well-prepared. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.”
Meng Chang successfully obtained the commission which improved Pei Qian’s mood.
The current state of Suffering Travels was a good sign!
At the moment, the suffering of the people in charge should have come to an end. There would be two weeks of relaxation followed by another week of suffering.
Since the suffering of this group of people was about to end, the suffering of the next group of people could almost be put on the agenda.
This time, not only did Pei Qian want to bring the department heads who had slipped through the net, but he also wanted to arrange for a few enemies in his notebook.
For example, people like Ruan Guangjian and Qiao Liang.
There was no need to talk about Qiao Liang. It was definitely exciting to watch him suffer.
Ruan Guangjian was a rather formidable person. Even the haunted house and roller coasters could not hold him down. Pei Qian wondered if Suffering Travels could make him feel tortured.
There had to be something he was not good at, right?
However, there was another important question: how to lure them over.
Tengda’s internal employees were easy to deal with. They could be arranged with a single sentence. However, if people outside the company did not want to come, they could not possibly be kidnapped, right?
He had to think of a good way to lure them in.
