Losing Money to Be a Tycoon
chapter-1295

November 7th, Wednesday…

Meng Chang sat at his desk and racked his brains for the publicity plan.

He had roughly found the direction previously, but he had spent more than a day sorting out the details and still had not figured it out.

Most importantly, he did not know much about this industry.

Meng Chang had been living a smooth life ever since he graduated. His starting salary was very high, so he rented apartments directly in high-end districts that were very expensive. Basically, he had not been cheated by intermediaries.

Meeting unreliable intermediaries was a probability event after all. It was harder to meet people with more money.

What's more, even people who had been scammed by intermediaries might not be able to meet Meng Chang's current requirements.

The so-called being cheated was nothing more than being deceived by the intermediary into renting a house that he was not satisfied with. Or perhaps the intermediary had been full of nonsense and signed the contract without recognizing it. Or perhaps there had been problems with the rental of the house and they had been wrangling.

These alone were not enough to support Meng Chang in producing this promotional video.

The effect Meng Chang wanted was that on the surface, the promotional video looked normal, but on closer inspection, something was amiss.

However, if he said that it did not feel right, he would look back after some time and feel that there was no problem with this film.

That was the only way to fulfill the requirements of the Pei family's publicity method. However, it was obvious that this was still difficult.

It would be difficult to grasp the speed without a deep understanding.

Meng Chang definitely could not do it himself. He asked a few colleagues in the advertising and marketing department and basically did not get the answers he wanted.

That was because the benefits of Tengda's employees were too good. New employees who had just joined the company had the employee dormitory of Sloth Apartments to live in. After joining the company for a period of time, their economic conditions had improved. Most of them chose to buy their own houses.

At most, he would be scammed by other unreliable intermediaries once or twice before he joined Tengda. However, this was obviously far from enough.

Meng Chang needed someone like that: He had to have a deeper understanding of this industry. He had to be able to dig out the essence of this industry that was hated by everyone and was very familiar with some details.

Only then could the promotional video achieve the effect Meng Chang wanted.

Meng Chang cast his sights on the group of people in charge after his department failed to find anything.

In Tengda, if they encountered problems that their own department could not solve, they would seek help from the other departments. Often, they would be able to obtain the full cooperation and strong support of the other departments.

There were very few problems that could not be solved as long as the departments were linked.

Meng Chang knew this very well. He immediately sent a message to the department heads.

"Everyone, the advertising and marketing department's new plan is facing some difficulties. We need everyone's help."

"Please ask around, everyone. Is there anyone in the department who knows the profession of rental agent or who worked as a rental agent personally?"

"If there is, I hope to be able to talk about it in depth. This is very important. Thank you all for your help!"

He had to say that Tengda's department head group was very active. Everyone was very passionate.

Meng Chang received many replies not long after he sent the message.

Zhang Yuan: "I asked but we don't have any in our department."

Ma Yiqun answered, "Most of our applicants are direct school applicants. No."

Yu Fei: "We have been scammed before, but in terms of in-depth understanding, we have even worked as intermediaries… No."

Liang Qingfan: "Sloth Apartments has a similar position, but it should not match your requirements at all."

The people in charge replied one by one, giving negative answers.

It might be more accurate to say that the apartments had been scammed before, but it would be too difficult to understand them in depth.

That was because Tengda's overall development was relatively smooth. Not to mention the old employees who entered in the early stages, most of the people who entered in the later stages had gone through examinations and layers of selection. They were all very capable and had no interaction with people like Meng Chang.

Sloth Apartments was related to rental, but everyone knew that Sloth Apartments' model was completely different from traditional rental intermediaries.

Some of the people in charge did not say anything. The intermediary replied.

After all, the people in charge were still suffering in Shennongjia and could not reply.

Meng Chang was a little melancholic. He had not expected to be stuck at this step.

Could it be possible to find a rental agent outside the company to understand the situation?

However, the people outside the company might not be trustworthy, their cooperation might not be good, and their confidentiality might be a problem.

It would be best if he could find this person from within the company.

Someone replied just as he was struggling.

Tian Mo: "I've worked as a rental agent for a period of time, but… I don't think I'm a qualified intermediary. I don't know if the charm fits your requirements."

Meng Chang's eyes lit up.

Tian Mo?

He seemed to be the person-in-charge of the sales department!

The advertising, marketing, and sales departments were similar in nature. He could get closer to them so that he could cooperate in the future.

Tian Mo had worked as a rental agent before? That was great!

How could he be an incompetent intermediary if he could be the person-in-charge of Tengda's sales department?

That would definitely be appropriate!

Meng Chang replied immediately. "No problem. Where are you now? I'll go and look for you!"

Someone in the group asked, "Tian Mo seems to be in Shanghai, right?"

Tian Mo: "I just returned to Jingzhou two days ago. I have something to deal with here. I'm in the experience shop now."

Meng Chang was very happy. "That's great. Give me a moment. I'll be right there!"

…

Half an hour later, Meng Chang came to Tengda experience shop and found Tian Mo.

Tian Mo had previously received orders from Boss Pei to open the experience shop in first-tier cities in the country. They would open one in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou.

The requirements were very loose. He just had to open a shop before February next year.

In fact, Tian Mo could have chosen two shops to prepare together. However, he felt that that would be too risky, so he chose Shanghai first.

After all, Shanghai was considered an economic center. It was prosperous. There were also Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, Upwind Logistics, Deposit Fitness, and other physical industries. Building this experience shop could obtain some support from other departments.

Tian Mo's attitude was to actively prepare and leave enough room for advancement. He did not want to open the shop quickly, but he wanted to be safe.

On the other hand, even though Zhuang Dong was in charge of the experience shop in Jingzhou, Tian Mo was still a little worried about his good brother. He would return to Jingzhou every now and then to ensure that there were no problems with the experience shop in Jingzhou. At the same time, he would go home to visit his parents.

After all, Jingzhou's experience shop was the main base. All future salespeople had to be transferred from here.

Meng Chang happened to be in time for this trip back to Jingzhou.

Meng Chang and Tian Mo did not go to the experience shop. Instead, they chose to find a cafe in the Great World Shopping Mall opposite and chose a seat by the window to chat while drinking coffee.

There were too many people in the experience shop. It was difficult to chat quietly.

Meng Chang could not help but feel emotional. "The experience shop has been open for so long, but it's still so popular?"

Logically speaking, the experience shop could not remain popular forever. At most, it would become popular when new products were released.

The flow of people should gradually stabilize.

However, Tengda has not released any new products recently. All the departments were in a state of holding back their ult. The experience shop was still full. That was a little ridiculous.

How popular was he?

Tian Mo smiled. "That's mainly because of the location."

"That's because the GPL competition venue is opposite the experience shop. Spectators from all over the country who come to watch the competition would walk around the experience shop after watching the competition. Thus, human traffic has been maintained at a relatively high level."

Meng Chang asked, "However, there shouldn't be any GPL competitions recently, right? The international invitational tournament seems to be about to start."

Tian Mo nodded. "There are indeed no GPL competitions, but there are offline viewing activities."

"The E-Sports Department has spoken in advance this time. They have arranged for offline viewing activities in many places so that audiences who cannot go to Europe can feel the atmosphere of watching the competition live."

"GPL venue, the big screen outside the experience shop, and some cinema chains, including Shenhua Film, have all organized offline viewing activities."

"This screen is the biggest, and the square outside can accommodate many people. Of course, it's an important place to watch the competition online."

Meng Chang nodded, once again recognizing the power of Tengda's various departments combined.

Even if GOG organized a global invitational tournament overseas, it would still be as popular in China. That was all thanks to the solid foundation that Boss Pei had laid.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, both parties got down to business.

Meng Chang briefly introduced his requirements, mainly because he needed to know where the most annoying part of the rental agent was. He had to think of a way to integrate these contents into the promotional video.

In order to film the effect of positive and negative, there had to be another interpretation angle so that it could be reversed in the future.

This request was actually very complicated. It could be said to be full of twists and turns. Any problem with any detail would cause the entire publicity plan to completely deviate.

If they went off track, the publicity plan would naturally fail.

Tian Mo could not help but frown after hearing Meng Chang's request. His expression was solemn.

"The requirements are actually so high?"

"Previously, I could only be considered the shoddy rental agent. I only managed to get two contracts. One of them was a good deal, and the other was given to me by someone else…"

Meng Chang was a little surprised. "Huh?"

That can't be. Aren't you the person-in-charge of Tengda's sales department?

He was the person-in-charge of the sales department. Had he only agreed to two orders when he was the rental agent?

"Don't tell me you only worked for half a day before leaving?" Meng Chang asked.

Tian Mo shook his head in shame. "No, I actually worked for more than a month."

"I was very introverted. At that time, I could not even speak properly. Of course, I could not get a deal. The reason why I can be in this position now is all because of Boss Pei's exploration and nurturing."

"If not for Boss Pei, I would probably still be distributing flyers on the streets."

"Hmm… it could also be because we can't distribute the flyers."

Meng Chang was stunned.

Good lord, how could he be fired for distributing flyers?

How ridiculous was that!

His first reaction was that Tian Mo was being humble. However, looking at Tian Mo's expression, it did not seem like it. He was speaking sincerely.

What's more, was there a need to be humble about something like that?

It would be terrible if this was true.

According to Tian Mo, he had been distributing flyers on the streets previously. What's more, he had been an intermediary for a month. He had signed two orders in total. One was luck, and the other was someone else's help.

How could Boss Pei find someone like that and force him to become the person-in-charge of the sales department?

Either Boss Pei had an eye for talent and saw his potential at a glance, or Boss Pei had taught him well and turned a stone into a raw gem.

Either way, it was terrifying!
