Chapter 1520 Leaders Go Down to the Grassroots!

Moreover, Haoxiang Fitness's situation was different from large companies like Sheng Yun Express and Zhujia Group.

These large companies were well-established, with a high market share, making it difficult to inflict serious damage.

But Haoxiang Fitness was different. As a gym, its capital chain was not very healthy, its market share was not particularly high, and even its public image wasn't great.

Once it was attacked collectively, it could quickly collapse.

Within the anti-Tengda alliance, there were also investment companies and various large capital brokers. Would other companies stand idly by and watch it die?

That was hard to say.

After all, this alliance was not a monolith, and each member had its own interests.

If a Tended-operated gym had problems, all Tengda departments would help at all costs.

But if Haoxiang Fitness had problems, would large companies like Zhujia Group and Sheng Yun Express provide assistance at all costs? That was hard to say.

Once it couldn't hold on, Haoxiang Fitness only had two options: either be stubborn and die on the spot, or withdraw from the alliance and prolong its survival for a while.

If it withdrew, even if it had to die, it would have to wait until Tengda had finished off the leading companies.

But no matter what they chose, the ending would be the same: as more and more companies withdrew, the companies in the anti-Tengda alliance would become suspicious of each other, and begin to splinter and collapse again.

Finally, there was the war of public opinion.

Pei Qian discovered that the official Tengda Group account on the Aili Island website had launched a new column called "The Person in Charge Speaks"!

The content of this column was very simple: the heads of various Tengda departments took turns to dismantle the models and routines of various hostile companies, and then compared them with the business models of Tengda's own industries.

For example, the first issue was Guo Licheng analyzing the fundamental differences between the Tended-operated gym model and Haoxiang Fitness's newly launched "Desperate Card" model in a video.

There was a passage in it that could be described as a heart-piercing attack.

"The success of Tended-operated gyms is due to their dedication to helping all members plan their diets and develop exercise habits, while ensuring the gym's capacity so that every member can get the best workout experience."

"In contrast, the 'Desperate Card' only learned the surface."

"Tended-operated gyms have accompanying fitness meals, strictly planned workout times, ensure that the number of people in the gym does not exceed its capacity, and have a large number of coaches who provide free guidance."

"Does the 'Desperate Card' have these features?"

"Haoxiang Fitness's model supports both regular membership workouts and pay-per-visit workouts with the Desperate Card, but the problem is that it is impossible to determine the number of people based on the gym's capacity. Even if you get a Desperate Card, how can you guarantee the workout effect if you find the gym is overcrowded?"

"What's more, without a good control of calorie intake and necessary nutritional supplements in the diet, and with the trouble of conservative personal trainer sales courses, most people can't stick to this Desperate Card."

"To put it bluntly, the Desperate Card is forcibly borrowing the Tended-operated gym model without any supporting measures. It is simply using consumers' psychology of wanting to save money to deceive them into thinking that the Desperate Card has the same effect as the Tended-operated gym, so as to squeeze more income, without guaranteeing the training effect at all."

"What's more, the rules of the Desperate Card are problematic. The number of visits will be returned after completing the task. On the surface, it looks very favorable, but when the students want to leave, they will inevitably argue over the number of visits..."

"In short, this is in line with the consistent routine of many companies' events: on the surface, it looks like you've made money, but in reality, you can never make money."

"Of course, opening a company is to make a profit, and the Tended-operated gym is also profitable. It's understandable to make some money. But the key is how exactly is this money made, and whether or not it provides good enough service to customers?"

"I also ask everyone to keep their eyes open when choosing. The cheaper the product, the higher the cost performance. The so-called cost performance can't just look at the low price, but also pay attention to the 'actual experience' and 'value'. Don't be fooled by these little tricks!"

Guo Licheng was a professional fitness coach, a standard muscle man. With a little dressing up, he could be said to be handsome and attractive on video, which was very attractive to the same sex.

Many words coming out of his mouth naturally had a strong persuasive power.

What's more, Guo Licheng didn't lie. He was telling the absolute truth. Even if Haoxiang Fitness wanted to refute it, there was no way to start!

This video was very popular.

Some people were indeed confused and considered getting this Desperate Card, but after listening to Guo Licheng's analysis, they immediately dismissed the idea.

Forget it, let's just wait for the quota for the Tended-operated gym!

With this set of combined punches, Haoxiang Fitness had just started to launch an attack, but it was firmly suppressed. Moreover, the Tended-operated gym had no intention of stopping at all, and was directly hammering them to death!

This "The Person in Charge Speaks" column also sparked widespread discussion among the audience.

"This column is really interesting. Tengda's heads take turns to expose a business routine every day?"

"Tengda's heads are as brave as Lu Mingliang, love it, love it!"

"This Guo Licheng looks like a professional. These muscles and this size can't be trained by ordinary people. He's definitely a professional!"

"From the image point of view, Tengda has already won! The bosses of other companies look very cunning, full of empty words and clichés, and hypocritical, making it impossible to trust them at all. But what about Tengda's heads? They are all professionals, and they are telling the truth. They don't feel pretentious at all, and they are definitely doers!"

"It's still President Pei who is good at employing people! Tengda, from top to bottom, doesn't have any similarities with other companies. It's too unique!"

"Which department head will be the next to speak? I'm so looking forward to it!"

…

This set of combined punches left Pei Qian dumbfounded.

Something's wrong, the script is completely different from what I expected!

Pei Qian didn't approve a lot of funds for these departments, mainly because he wanted to wait and see.

Wait until the papers were finished, and the anti-Tengda alliance tasted the sweetness and seized a certain market share, then he would be happy to burn money to his heart's content.

But now, it should have been a period of strategic defense, so why did it directly turn into a period of strategic counter-offensive?

These heads really didn't indulge at all, and slapped them back on the spot.

If the anti-Tengda alliance's offensive was disintegrated without spending money, then... how could the money be burned?

Pei Qian never expected that these heads would be so full of military virtue. Pei Qian hadn't allocated military funds to them yet, and they were already howling and fighting back.

Moreover, Lu Mingliang set a bad example. After he slapped Nie Yunsheng in the face in the live broadcast, the other heads followed suit and directly went down to the field to kill the Quartet in the war of public opinion!

They were not good at being heads, and they all wanted to show their faces and become idols, which was outrageous!

Can't they learn from President Pei and be a little more low-key?

Pei Qian actually supported Lu Mingliang's matter, but this time it was different.

Because Lu Mingliang's behavior was actually attracting hatred, which was helpful for Pei Qian to lose money; but now the behavior of these heads was to beat the dog in the water, which was a bit wrong.

"This is not okay, wouldn't it be that after I finish writing my paper and come out of seclusion, the anti-Tengda alliance will no longer exist?"

"Damn it! How can that work? You must hold on until the day I burn money with you!"

Pei Qian panicked a little.

This anti-Tengda alliance looked a little weak. Only a few days had passed, and there was a trend of a complete reversal of public opinion. How could this be reassuring?

"I have no choice but to help you."

"Everyone, please don't blame me. I really can't resist the temptation of 15 million..."

Pei Qian decided to help the other party, at least not let the companies in the anti-Tengda alliance lose so quickly.

The crux of the problem seemed to be with these heads.

They were really too good!

There was not a single person who was just muddling along, and each of them had unique skills, which was outrageous!

What to do?

The first thing Pei Qian thought of was the Suffering Travel.

If he could arrange for all these people to go on the Suffering Travel, then the matter would be solved immediately.

But the problem was that the Suffering Travel had already started, and there was no way to force people in. Moreover, these heads had basically already gone on the Suffering Travel, and there was no really suitable reason to arrange another one in the short term.

Even if Bao Xu had great official authority, he had to have a justifiable reason to arrest people, he couldn't just arrest them forcibly.

"Forget it, I can't rely entirely on Bao Xu."

"If Chen Kangtuo's haunted house project had already been built, I could have arranged for all these heads to go through it again, but unfortunately, it's not possible in the short term."

"Since these two paths are not feasible, then I can only think of other ways..."

Pei Qian sighed. Has Tengda developed to the point where President Pei can't just go into seclusion?

There was no way, he had to endure it for a while. As long as he finished this cycle and made enough money, he would be free in the future!

Pei Qian quickly thought of a way, and then sent an email to Assistant Xin.

Let these department heads go to the grassroots to experience life for three months after changing departments!

For example, Xiao Peng, the head of Moyu Internet Cafe, would go to Nifeng Logistics as a deliveryman and experience life for three months. The heads of other departments were in similar situations. Not only did they have to go to the grassroots to experience life, but they also had to change departments.

Because if they didn't change departments, even if the heads went to the grassroots, they would still have the final say, and there would be no essential change.

Of course, who would be responsible for the work of the department during these three months?

If the department head was allowed to promote someone himself, he would definitely give priority to the backbone employees of the department, and there might still be little difference.

After considering it, Pei Qian added another rule: it was recommended that the department head find someone from outside the company to temporarily take over the position of head!

If someone from within the department was found to temporarily take over as head, then they would have to stay in other departments for three full months; but if someone from outside the company was found to temporarily take over as head, then this sentence could be reduced to two months!

This should be a rather attractive condition for many heads, right?
