Chapter 400 A Teachable Child!

Cui Geng remained silent for a moment, then sighed, "Tengda is truly a unique company."

"Other companies can't wait to plaster slogans on the walls, write them in employee handbooks, and even make all employees memorize them."

"But Tengda conceals its company spirit, allowing employees to comprehend it themselves, like 'enlightenment'..."

"I've suddenly developed a strong interest. Could you briefly tell me about the company?"

...

In the afternoon, Pei Qian didn't go to Tengda. Instead, he went to Dream Chaser Ventures to hear He Desheng's report on the "Xueba Kuai Lai" (Study God is Coming) situation.

The promotional campaign for the Xueba Kuai Lai project had been launched in the past few days and seemed quite impressive.

During the days Pei Qian was preparing for the exam, he often saw Xueba Kuai Lai posters at school and various leaflets distributed by students. Even some classmates around him were discussing it.

The specific data was unknown, but the first impression was that it was quite popular.

So, after weighing the pros and cons, Pei Qian decided to come here first and ask about the Xueba Kuai Lai situation.

He Desheng began to introduce the project's situation to Pei Qian. Although his emotions were high, it was still faintly discernible that he didn't have much confidence.

"President Pei, our project's promotional campaign has already been launched. Of course, it's mainly concentrated in Jingzhou for now..."

The initial promotional methods of Xueba Kuai Lai were relatively simple and crude.

In the past two days, many bus stop signs in Jingzhou had already displayed Xueba Kuai Lai promotional posters, and a group of people were distributing leaflets near university and high school campuses during noon and evening.

They also bought some more restrained advertisements on Jingzhou's local television stations, of course, during some rather poor time slots.

They also signed contracts with excellent students from Handong University and other universities, inviting them to be the first batch of "contracted study gods" on the App.

He Desheng paid them wages, and these people had to ensure that they completed a certain amount of work and time each week, with strict checks against fraud.

In addition, there was a reserved fund for subsidizing users during the initial operation of the App, which is commonly known as "burning money."

The money was being spent quickly.

However, throwing hard-earned money into the water wasn't a complete waste; it still stirred up a little splash: it turned into data.

But He Desheng was too embarrassed to mention these specific data because they were a bit shameful.

They were only conducting a test in Jingzhou and hadn't promoted it nationwide at all. How many active users could there be?

The revenue data was also dismal. They were burning money now, and they would definitely continue to burn money in the future, and it would only increase.

As for the evaluation, pessimistic voices still accounted for the majority because the App's current functions were relatively simple.

In short, He Desheng introduced the project, but apart from some empty talk about "good prospects," he didn't say anything concrete.

But for Pei Qian, this was undoubtedly good news – no good news was the best news.

If even He Desheng couldn't find anything to brag about, it meant that the project's start was indeed a complete mess...

However, Pei Qian was cautious and felt that he couldn't let his guard down.

These people under him always liked to conceal some budding good news, wanting to wait until the good thing was a sure thing before reporting it to President Pei.

This situation had to be guarded against.

Pei Qian looked at He Desheng and said, "The start is good, but I want to ask you a question... Where do you think the breakthrough for this App will be next?"

He Desheng thought for a moment: "As for the breakthrough... I think it's its social attribute!"

"Hmm?" Pei Qian frowned, instantly alert.

He Desheng didn't realize the change in President Pei's expression and said, "The social attribute is undoubtedly the fundamental guarantee for us to quickly make the App bigger and stronger!"

"Although our App's current data is average and the response in the high school student and parent groups is mediocre, the response in the university student group is quite enthusiastic!"

"Whether they are underachievers or top students, they earnestly fill in their information and photos, and the probability of meeting someone of the opposite sex is far greater than meeting someone of the same sex."

"This shows that our App has certain social attributes. If we can make good use of this..."

Pei Qian frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

This was a big hidden danger!!!

Pei Qian had no doubt that many people had a strong interest in "study god male" and "study god female," and some single-minded male and female study gods who were devoted to learning had little resistance to handsome or beautiful younger students...

If this situation was allowed to develop, wouldn't this software become the Century Jia Yuan (a popular dating site) of the education circle?

Thinking of this, Pei Qian immediately stopped He Desheng: "You're right."

He Desheng's eyes lit up, thinking that his point of view had been recognized by President Pei.

Pei Qian: "This is indeed a big hidden danger!"

He Desheng's eyes widened slightly: "?"

Pei Qian ignored his astonishment and said, "This kind of unhealthy trend must not be encouraged!"

He Desheng was a little dizzy: "Ah? Why?"

Pei Qian said earnestly, "The hidden danger is too great!"

"In the short term, we can indeed rely on this gimmick to gain good popularity."

"But in the long run, this will create security risks for our platform, and it will also make many users of the platform have impure motives, affect the entire platform's atmosphere, and cause damage to the reputation and loss of core users!"

"So, we must avoid this situation."

"Immediately arrange for a software revision. The next version will add a few new features: modify the personal profile page design: personal photos cannot be uploaded, the user's gender cannot be displayed, and when evaluating, comments cannot be freely written, only the descriptive words we have prepared for them can be selected."

"It's equivalent to only being able to post labels, not being able to leave free messages, so naturally you can't imply the other party's gender and appearance."

"Add a one-click alarm button and display location tracking at the same time, which can share your location with friends in real time."

"In a prominent position on the page, remind users that meetings must be in school study rooms, cafes, and other places with large crowds."

"At the same time, increase the review efforts. Whether they are underachievers or top students, not only must they undergo real-name authentication, but they must also be connected to the Internet to check whether they have criminal records, school disciplinary records, etc. Anyone suspected of having problems cannot be approved."

He Desheng felt a little dizzy.

If the original "Xueba Kuai Lai" App contained even the slightest spark that could allow the opposite sex to spark a fire, then President Pei's set of combination punches not only extinguished the spark but even completely eliminated the combustibles under the spark.

He Desheng originally thought he could use this as a gimmick to quickly stir up popularity, so he naturally wouldn't worry about anyone taking over.

Now, this road was completely blocked by President Pei.

But He Desheng didn't ask much, just nodded: "Okay, President Pei, I'll arrange it immediately."

Seeing President Pei's serious expression, He Desheng knew very well that this was definitely not a joke.

Pei Qian was very happy to have eliminated another hidden danger.

Things were stable here for the time being!

At this moment, he received a message on his phone from Wu Bin of the Human Resources Department.

"President Pei, the matter you arranged for me has been completed!"

Pei Qian nodded with satisfaction.

Well, not bad, good things come in pairs.

As for how far Cui Geng could spread the Tengda spirit after comprehending it and returning to the online author training class, that was a matter for the future.

He could observe it in a while.

"By the way, are you clear about the situation with the shared phone booths?" Pei Qian asked casually.

He Desheng was still considering the previous changes to the "Xueba Kuai Lai App." After two seconds, he said, "Ah, I'm not very clear. After you asked me to be responsible for the 'Xueba Kuai Lai' project, I didn't ask about it. I think everything should be going smoothly over there, right?"

Pei Qian nodded. Although he didn't ask for any useful information, at least it proved that He Desheng was obedient.

It seemed that he had to go and see it himself.

Today was Friday, and the flow of people in the shopping mall might not be as large as on Saturday and Sunday, but it shouldn't be too small.

Pei Qian got out of the car and said to Xiao Sun, "Go to Universal Sky Street."

...

"There are many stories about President Pei. What I just said is only a part of it."

"If you're interested, you can ask the website's President Ma to help you collect them. He is familiar with many of the people involved," Wu Bin said with a smile.

Cui Geng still seemed to have some unfulfilled intentions: "I didn't expect President Pei and Tengda's experiences to be so legendary."

"An unconventional boss creating an unconventional company..."

"If this story were written into a book, it would definitely be very exciting."

"But..."

Cui Geng frowned slightly, as if he had encountered some difficult problems: "President Pei's image may not be suitable as the protagonist."

Wu Bin couldn't help but be stunned: "Why?"

Cui Geng explained, "He's too perfect."

"There are indeed some people like this in reality, such as the great men, saints, and reformers throughout history..."

"Successful people must have some very prominent shining points and qualities."

"But if the protagonist in the book is such a person, it will seem unrealistic, a bit fake and empty, and it will be difficult for readers to believe."

"After all, reality doesn't need logic, but novels do."

"When a leader like President Pei exists in reality, everyone will only think that he is rare, very special, and very lucky."

"But if he exists in the book, readers will only think that he is fake, hypocritical, and unable to empathize with him."

"So this story must make some changes to better suit the readers' tastes..."

"Ah, thank you for everything today! Today's study of the Tengda spirit is very meaningful to me!"

Cui Geng shook hands with Wu Bin.

Wu Bin smiled: "This is all President Pei's arrangement. It's just a piece of cake for me."

Cui Geng looked at the time. It was a little after 4 PM, not yet off-work hours.

Wu Bin reminded him: "You're free to come and go here."

Cui Geng thought for a moment: "Can I borrow the entertainment room computer again?"

Wu Bin nodded: "Of course."

Cui Geng returned to the game room again. This time, he didn't play games, but sat in front of the computer that could easily run almost all the large games on the market, wanting to sort out his new ideas.

Inspiration was fleeting and had to be seized immediately.

But before that, Cui Geng first logged into the author's backend and entered the title of the new chapter: "Completion Notice"!

After writing the content, Cui Geng was a little tangled.

He knew very well that if this chapter was sent out, he would probably be scolded like a dog.

But after hesitating for five minutes, he still pressed the "Publish" button.

...

In the car.

Pei Qian took out his phone a little bored, opened the Qidian Chinese website App, and refreshed it casually.

It was not yet six o'clock, not yet the update time for the authors in the training class.

Therefore, the "Completion Notice" of one of the books was so conspicuous.

Pei Qian: "???"

He quickly clicked in and quickly scanned the content above.

After a moment, the doubts on Pei Qian's face disappeared, replaced by a gratified smile.

"This kid can be taught! This kid can be taught!"

He immediately said to Xiao Sun, who was driving, "Go to Universal Sky Street again tomorrow morning! Go back to the company first!"

"I want to meet this Cui Geng!"
