Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 6

Meng Chang, wearing a mask, sunglasses, and cap, came to the old industrial area near the snack market.

Meng Chang had already lost all his motivation, but after yesterday's conversation with Mr. Pei, the small flame of hope burned again in his heart.

That's why he came to visit today.

After removing the one error option, three options remain, namely Snack Bazaar, Experience Store, and Inspiration Class.

Today is already Friday, and it is impossible to investigate the situation of these three industries clearly within this week, but Meng Chang still feels that he should try to move forward with time.

If you research early and clearly, you'll be able to determine the publicity plan early, and if you burn money and spread it out, you'll get more commission.

The fact that the guaranteed amount of money became larger was not encouraging Meng Chang to adopt conservative promotional schemes, but rather encouraging him to make more risky schemes.

It's all the more reason to go after high commissions because you don't have to worry about the future.

In short, after Pei adjusted the content of the agreement between the two sides, Meng Chang rekindled his enthusiasm for the commission.

Today, Meng Chang was fully armed and wrapped his face tightly for fear of being recognized by others.

It's not that I have any idol baggage, or that I'm afraid of meeting fans on the road.

The main reason for being so cautious is to beware of CEO Pei's employees.

Meng Chang also replayed several of his failures and found that there seemed to be a huge shadow of existence behind these failures, that is, Mr. Pei.

Take the previous promotion of Mission & Choice, for example, the release date of a good game was changed.

Although Pei said afterwards that it was to bump the Fantasy War Remastered, Meng Chang was still slightly suspicious that it might just be a pretext and the real reason was to target him.

There are many similar cases.

Every time, Meng felt confident that he had a good grasp of the situation, but it was always because of some inexplicable, minor and inexplicable incident that his plan was ruined.

Once or twice is fine, but that's how many times!

Is it possible to say that there is no Pei playing tricks here?

Meng Chang felt that in these failures, there must be at least one or two times, it was Pei who was playing tricks. The purpose was to sabotage his own plan, so that he could only get the base salary.

Although Meng Chang had no evidence to prove it, he was convinced of it.

So, there must be a lot of Pei's eyes and ears in each department.

Even advertising and marketing departments are not immune.

As the saying goes, "Things are made secret, words are lost", meaning that the better the secrecy, the higher the chances of success.

Therefore, Meng Chang decided to do everything possible to keep it a secret and never let Mr. Pei guess which project he was going to promote before the publicity program was officially launched.

This way, the chances of getting a commission will definitely increase dramatically!

Meng Chang pretended to be a curious passerby and strolled near the snack market.

There are a lot of people in Beijing who are interested in Tengda's new industry, so there are a lot of people hanging around, and these people vary in age, some of them may be the nearby indigenous people, grandparents come to walk, drop by to see, while some young people may come all the way to prepare for a glimpse.

Meng Chang blended in and concealed his tracks very well.

According to the schedule, the Snack Bazaar will not open for business for more than two weeks, so no vendors have moved in yet and there are still some finishing touches to be done on the renovation.

Although the general style of the food bazaar has been decided, it is still very difficult to deduce whether it will be popular or not based on this.

Meng Chang circled around the food bazaar twice, but still had no clue.

It was difficult to determine whether it would be popular or not just by the contents he saw.

But at that moment, he suddenly saw a bright light and saw someone he knew.

Wasn't that Li Shi from Fai Capital?

If it wasn't for Li Shi, Meng Chang wouldn't have been in debt, and wouldn't have come to this point.

Strictly speaking, Meng Chang hated Li Shi more than Pei.

After all, Pei gave Meng Chang the feeling of being the ultimate villain in the movie, which was abominable, but powerful and full of charisma; while Li gave Meng Chang the feeling of being the henchman under the villain, which was not necessarily very harmful, but full of bad luck and should not be avoided.

This is the truth that the king of hell is better off and the devil is harder to deal with.

But now is not the time to hold a grudge, because Li Shi's appearance will reveal some information.

Meng Chang put aside his hatred for the time being, and silently pretended to be an ordinary passerby who was just strolling around, and followed Li Shi not far behind, observing in silence.

Li Shi definitely wouldn't come here for no reason, there must be something going on!

Meng Chang has long found out that Li Shi and several investors from Beijing have always been closely surrounding General Manager Pei, who is the only one who follows him.

The appearance of Li Shi in the vicinity of Pei's new property ...... is definitely not a good omen.

As expected, Li Shi went all the way to a store near the snack bazaar, went in and chatted with the owner.

After chatting for about half an hour, Li Shi seemed to be very satisfied, and came out with a big smile on his face to go to the next store to continue the chat.

Meng Chang cautiously kept his distance from Li Shi, keeping an eye on his whereabouts from a distance.

What did he want to talk to the store owners about?

Obviously, he wanted to buy the store!

There is no other explanation at all.

Meng Chang can't help but heave in his mind: no need to look, another wrong answer is ruled out!

Meng Chang has long known about this tactic of General Manager Pei.

When the hostel was built, Mr. Pei's funds were not enough to build the whole hostel, including the surrounding facilities.

Therefore, Mr. Pei intentionally gave the surrounding commercial facilities to Li Shi and other investors in Beijing.

In this way, the surrounding facilities are there, the palpitation of the hostel's publicity work in place, although the distribution of some of the benefits, but the people pick up the flame of firewood, earn more.

Now Pei is obviously trying to do the same old trick again!

Tengda could not buy all the stores around the snack bazaar, so he deliberately set aside part of it for Li and other investors to buy.

In this way, not only do they not have to pay too much money, but also they can keep all the surrounding stores firmly under their control, and unify the development and planning.

Seeing this, Meng Chang was basically sure that the snack market was going to be a big hit.

Since Mr. Pei has arranged for Mr. Li to buy all the surrounding stores, he obviously has 100% confidence in the snack bazaar.

At that time, even if Meng Chang's publicity plan is well done, no matter how ineffective the money is, he probably still won't get any commission, because CEO Li will definitely find a way to make this place popular!

Because Mr. Li and the others will definitely find a way to make this place hot!

Under the favor of so much capital, even if you throw money at it, you have to smash this place into the fire.

It can be said that when you see Li getting involved, you basically declare this place untouchable.

Because not only is Li the puppet of Pei and an extension of Pei's will, he will also take the initiative to implement Pei's intentions so that his own interests are not harmed.

Judging from the previous cases, any project that involves Li is definitely the project that Pei values the most.

And for business genius Pei, "most valued" often means "must be hot"!

Meng Chang did not stop any longer, immediately gave up the snack market, and took a taxi to the next inspection site: the Tengda Experience Store across the street from Yuanda Tiandi.

This is considered official business, and a taxi will be reported.

......

Because the two places were far apart, there was a little traffic jam on the road, and Meng Chang came to Tengda's experience store after nearly an hour.

This was the first time that Meng Chang came to Tengda's experience store.

However, after getting off the car, Meng Chang just took a glance from a distance, and then pulled open the door again and got into the car.

"Master, let's go, I've changed my schedule."

The driver didn't ask too many questions, and just drove away with one foot of the gas pedal.

Meng Chang just got out of the car, just took a glance at the surroundings, and gathered the following information.

Across the street from Tengda's Experience Store was the GPL tournament venue, which often welcomed players from all over the country, and it seemed that the GPL Spring Finals were about to begin.

The Tengda Experience Store occupies the most perfect piece of the mall, with a huge glass curtain wall that is so imposing that it is even expected to become a new landmark attraction in the capital city.

Once the construction is completed, these two big screens will bring great visual impact to the passers-by, and may even be filmed and posted on the Internet, causing even more heat.

Therefore, Meng Chang did not intend to go inside, and a casual glance at the outside showed that this was mostly a wrong answer.

No matter if it's a snack market or an experience store, even if he then racked his brains to come up with a publicity plan and worked hard to reduce the heat, he would probably only last two weeks at most and get a basic salary.

Meng Chang would never do something like this, where the payoff is not proportional to the reward.

"Mr. Pei is too much, although he gave me four options, which looks like a lot, at least three of them are wrong options ah! If he chooses, he'll work for free!"

"There's one last option, an inspiration class for authors."

"I wonder if this option would be the wrong option as well, at least, to give me a little room to play with, right?"

"Hey, Mr. Pei, please be a human being!"

The more Meng Chang thought about it, the more despondent he became.

At first, he thought it was just a simple matter of messing up the publicity program.

As a result, Meng Chang now feels more and more that this is simply an epic difficulty, something that is impossible to accomplish!

And as Tengda gradually grows, the difficulty of this matter will only increase. Because Tengda is such a maverick company, its every move will be watched by the netizens, any behavior will be repeatedly interpreted by the netizens, even if it is a very ordinary publicity, can also play an unexpected effect.

Meng Chang doesn't know what to do in the future, so he can only take one step at a time and see what happens.

......

At around 4:00 p.m., Meng Chang walked out of the building where the "Inspiration Class" of the Chinese website was located.

I finished my research before the end of the day.

In fact, Meng Chang had not planned to be so fast. According to the original plan, he had reserved at least three days for the project.

Originally, he planned to finish the research and decide the final project for promotion on Tuesday.

However, he did not expect that the first two projects would be researched too quickly, and after just a glance and a few turns, they were already passed off, thus saving so much time.

Although this is a sad story, there was an advantage: Meng Chang could quickly develop a publicity plan over the weekend and then implement it immediately on Monday.

This would minimize the possibility of leaks, so that Pei wouldn't have time to pull a fast one.

"It seems to be four choices, but it's the only choice."

"I can only give this inspiration class publicity."

"Although the copyright development plan for this inspiration class is ambitious, all the plans will only officially begin two months later. The time left in between gives me a lot of room to operate."

"For two days over the weekend, I have to come up with a foolproof promotional plan."

"And the plan must be simple enough, preferably one that doesn't require any preparation and can be placed directly on subway stations, bus stops, and billboards."

"The fewer the intermediate steps, the lower the possibility of leaking secrets, and the less chance for Mr. Pei to play tricks."

"Well, let's do it!"

Meng Chang's spirit could not help but be uplifted.

Although the first three options are all very pokey, and if you do the publicity program, you will get a basic salary again, but fortunately, there is still the option of inspiration class.

Meng Chang felt like a person trapped in a big battlefield, although there were many dangers and difficulties, but no matter what, Mr. Pei left himself a "life gate".

Whether or not you can seize this opportunity is up to your own destiny.
