Chapter 1435 President Pei and President Ma, What Big Thing Have They Encountered?

Ye Zhizhou said, "So, we should continue to put effort into this aspect."

"Many driving schools across the country are now purchasing safe and civilized driving simulators, which has become a trend. For driving schools, our games and simulators can bring them more students, but isn't the same true for us?"

"Driving schools are essentially the entry point for everyone to start driving, which is like advertising our product to all students!"

"Shang Yang Games will now dedicate a department to serve these driving schools, adding the commonly requested features of these schools to the game, so that 'Safe and Civilized Driving' firmly grasps this entry point, eliminating all possible competitors."

"In addition to creating different venue maps for driving license exams, I also thought of something, which is to create a local area network teaching mode for driving schools. This would allow driving school instructors to lecture all students through the simulator, just like the current live streaming function, and the teaching effect should be better."

"In addition, the VR version of 'Safe and Civilized Driving' is being developed by Chi Xing Studio and should be available to players soon."

"The details of the cooperation with Xingniao Virtual Sports have also been finalized. To increase their appeal, we will develop something similar to 'internet cafe privileges' to encourage players to experience it in physical stores. After all, people who go there may become the next potential users of the simulator."

Hu Xianbin listened carefully, nodding occasionally.

Many of these things required Hu Xianbin's cooperation, and if the cooperation was good, it could further increase the popularity and visibility of Rabbit Tail Live.

Ye Zhizhou changed the subject: "However... there's one thing I'm not sure how to proceed with."

"It's about the cooperation with car companies."

"President Pei said before that we should raise the threshold for car companies to cooperate with us, to strive to ensure the quality of the vehicles in the game is as consistent as possible with reality."

"Regarding this point, President Pei only said that car companies should pay us platform fees and pay for crash tests. But these seem to be relatively passive measures and don't fit with Tenda's consistent style of taking the initiative."

"Is there some deeper meaning here that I haven't grasped?"

The Tenda spirit has always been about divergent thinking, pioneering, and enterprising. If there are conditions, we go for it, and if there aren't conditions, we create them!

But currently, the cooperation with car companies is only in the stage of passively waiting, which is very un-Tenda-like.

What if the car companies don't come to us? Do we just keep waiting?

But Ye Zhizhou couldn't think of how to take the initiative, because this kind of thing couldn't be forced.

Hu Xianbin couldn't help but sink into thought: "Hmm... let me think."

He stood up and walked around the office twice, saying, "I think we can't do this thing ourselves, after all, we are playing the role of a platform."

"But we can't wait passively and do nothing."

"This kind of work... is best left to the car companies that are currently cooperating with us."

Ye Zhizhou's eyes lit up: "Oh?"

Hu Xianbin explained, "Only when players generally agree with the concept that 'cars that dare to be on "Safe and Civilized Driving" are cars that are confident in themselves' will our platform be a platform with unique value."

"How can we make players agree with this concept? It's not good for us to say it ourselves, the car companies have to say it."

"If they don't know how to say it, then we have to teach them how to say it."

"In this regard, I think we can refer to the approach of Chi Xing Studio and establish a reality service department."

"Didn't you just plan to split a department from Shang Yang Games to be responsible for these matters?"

Ye Zhizhou was stunned for a moment: "Reality service department? Teach these car companies to talk?"

"Oh! I understand!"

Originally, Ye Zhizhou was still a little confused, but when he thought of the reality service department of Chi Xing Studio, he instantly understood.

President Pei raised the cooperation threshold of the game "Safe and Civilized Driving" to this level to strictly control and be responsible for the players. But this will inevitably bring a serious problem, that is, the willingness of car companies to cooperate will be greatly weakened.

Not only do they have to pay platform fees, but they also have to provide sample cars for crash tests, and there are a lot of very inhumane terms.

From the perspective of players and consumers, this is of course a great thing, but will car companies be happy?

Absolutely not.

So, if Shang Yang Games has been passively waiting, the result will definitely be bleak.

Although President Pei gave such harsh conditions to carefully screen these car companies, is President Pei's intention not to let car companies cooperate? Obviously not!

So, we still have to find a way to promote cooperation with major car companies!

As for how to promote it, that's a technical job.

Tenda certainly can't do this itself, that would be too rigid.

We need a "catfish effect" to create a trend and a sense of crisis to prompt these car companies to cooperate with Tenda.

Just like the role of Hengyuan Driving School for other driving schools.

Assuming that the concept that "manufacturers who cooperate with 'Safe and Civilized Driving' are manufacturers who are confident in their own vehicles" can be deeply rooted in people's hearts, then more and more car companies will inevitably accept the conditions and cooperate with Tenda.

If we can go a step further and make the concept that "manufacturers who do not cooperate with 'Safe and Civilized Driving' are mostly guilty and lack confidence in their own vehicles" deeply rooted in people's hearts, then... I'm afraid these manufacturers won't be able to avoid cooperating with Tenda even if they want to.

At this time, a manufacturer is needed to achieve this "catfish effect," just like Hengyuan Driving School.

After Hengyuan Driving School purchased safe and civilized driving simulators on a large scale, other driving schools followed suit, fearing that they would be left behind, and were forced to purchase them one after another.

The same is true for car manufacturers.

Ye Zhizhou frowned: "But we don't have such a car company at hand."

"Although the first batch of car companies that cooperated with us also includes relatively well-known new energy car companies in China, in terms of market position, they are far from being comparable to Hengyuan Driving School's position in the domestic driving school circle."

"If it can't generate enough heat, then there's no point in talking about the 'catfish effect.' After all, it has to be a relatively strong catfish in the first place."

Hu Xianbin also fell silent.

He thought for a while and said, "I can't help with this either, I don't know much about the automotive industry. But... when in doubt, ask the department heads, maybe other heads will have a solution."

"That's right." Ye Zhizhou nodded, "Okay, let's talk about it here today, I'll go back and consult with Chi Xing Studio to see how to specifically run the reality service department, and if there's any ready-made experience to draw on."

...

9:30 AM, 16th floor of Shenhua Grand View.

Pei Qian came to the company and, as usual, plunged into his office.

A few minutes later, Ma Yang also arrived and entered the president's office as well.

The two stayed there all morning, and even when it came time for lunch, they only had the Moyu Takeaway guy deliver the food to the office without coming out.

Over in the Human Resources Department, Wu Bin and Hao Yun were eating their working lunch delivered by Moyu Takeaway while making serious guesses.

"President Pei and President Ma are in a meeting that lasts all morning? They even have to eat in the office? Wow, this must be a big deal!"

"I don't know. And I saw President Ma when he came out to get lunch just now, his usual optimistic expression was gone, and he looked very serious. It must be some important matter."

"Could they be worried about 'Ghost General 2'?"

"Not likely. 'Ghost General 2' is just one of many games, it wouldn't make President Pei and President Ma so nervous. In my opinion, it must be a major plan related to the company's future development, and they're making some extremely important strategic decisions."

"Well... after all, Tenda is so big now. We often feel overwhelmed just being responsible for one department, let alone President Pei and President Ma."

"It's okay, just trust President Pei. No matter what difficulties we encounter, he will definitely be able to lead us to overcome them!"

Wu Bin and Hao Yun finished their meal, took a short rest, and then threw themselves back into their busy work.

President Pei is racking his brains for the development of the company, how can the heads of the departments slack off?

Let's work hard!

...

Meanwhile, inside the president's office.

Pei Qian and Lao Ma were staring at the empty documents in front of them, at a loss.

How do you write this graduation thesis!

They had been thinking about it all morning, but they had no clue!

Pei Qian originally wanted to write it at his place, but judging from the experience of the weekend, with the temptation of the big TV and various games, the efficiency was obviously too low.

Pei Qian also thought about going to the school's study room, but he got up too late, and there would definitely be no seats left at this point.

The students of Handong University are very fond of studying, and their ability to grab seats is no less than their learning ability.

After thinking about it, it's better to go to the office!

It's spacious and comfortable here, and there's a small blanket to wrap around if you get cold.

It's good to bring Lao Ma along, so we can have a bit of a learning atmosphere.

However, this move didn't have much of a good effect. The thesis that couldn't be written was still unwritten!

Facts have proven that not being able to write a thesis has little to do with the environment.

It has a lot to do with people...

Pei Qian sighed silently: "Lao Ma, what are we going to do?"

Ma Yang raised his head, his long face full of surprise: "Huh? Brother Qian, weren't you full of confidence before? Why are you suddenly starting to feel dejected?"

Pei Qian said "hehe," it seems that Lao Ma doesn't fully realize the seriousness of the situation yet.

Thinking about it, that's right, because no one has told Ma Yang this sad news yet: he, like himself, has been assigned to Old Kong!

This graduation thesis has suddenly gone from easy mode to hell mode.
