August 7th, Tuesday afternoon…
Pei Qian woke up naturally, got up satisfied, and stretched.
He did not have to worry about the settlement; it was very comfortable!
Of course, saying that he was not worried was only temporary. It was just that these two months were relatively stable.
Pei Qian called Liang Qingfan and told him about the construction of Tengda’s headquarters after he arranged for the morning before.
There was no need to rush this matter. He had to think about it at length. First, he had to let Liang Qingfan think about choosing a location and come up with the most basic plan. Then, he would start construction.
This building would not generate profits but there was a huge difference in how the apartments would be built.
The headquarters was where most employees worked daily.
How were they going to build this building? Not only would they be able to spend more money, but they would also be able to reduce the efficiency of the employees. That would make them not want to work even if they were at home.
This was a technical job.
Thus, while Liang Qingfan chose the location and came up with the preliminary plan, Pei Qian had to think about how to build this building to meet his requirements.
After all, almost all of Tengda’s offices had been rented previously. The place might be huge, but it was not their own building after all. Many operations were limited.
Now that he was building his own building, he had to make up for all his previous shortcomings!
Pei Qian tried to find some information online and looked at the buildings of other companies, but it was basically useless.
After all, other wealthy companies would build buildings and provide good working environments for their employees so that they could stay in the company to work overtime.
This was obviously the complete opposite of Tengda’s original goal.
Thus, Pei Qian could not refer to the successful experiences of other companies. He could only rely on his own imagination.
After eating the lunch delivered by Fish-Catching Take-Out, Pei Qian took out his laptop and continued to collect inspiration online.
One in the afternoon, when he was feeling sleepy, his cell phone rang.
It was Bao Xu.
“Boss Pei, I’ve thought about the basic situation of the travel club. When do you think you have time, I’ll report it to you in person?”
Pei Qian was very surprised.
Bao Xu was very efficient!
He had only obtained an outstanding employee last Friday and decided to set up a travel company. He had already thought of the specific arrangements on Tuesday.
Pei Qian would be a little worried if it was other industries, but this was different.
The earlier the travel agency prepared and completed the relevant procedures, the sooner they could send the core employees of the various departments on a holiday. Of course, the sooner the better!
“I have time in the afternoon. Come to the conference room on the 16th floor at 3 PM.”
After deciding on a time with Bao Xu, Pei Qian took another afternoon nap before heading to the office full of energy.
…
In the conference room, Bao Xu handed a document over.
“Boss Pei, this is the plan that I thought of yesterday. Please take a look.”
“I need more funds, so I want to ask you for instructions.”
Pei Qian reached out to take the proposal. He could not help but smile when he heard that it would require more funds.
“You don’t have to worry about the funds. Just spend as much as you can!”
The original Dream Fund only had a million yuan, but that was the standard when Tengda had just been established. Given Tengda’s current size, a million yuan would not amount to much. Thus, the actual amount of money it had received was much higher than that.
Now that he had the Dream Fund, he could start a new company. He could just use the plan and follow Boss Pei if he wanted more money. If it was not enough, he could add more in the future.
Pei Qian took a look at the company’s name after receiving the proposal.
“Suffering Travels?”
Pei Qian looked up at Bao Xu.
Bao Xu nodded. “Yes, Boss Pei. This is the name that I have thought of. If you don’t think it’s suitable, you can change it…”
Pei Qian raised his hand to stop him. “No, this name is very good. You don’t have to change it!”
He was not only overjoyed, but also comforted.
Finally, someone took the initiative to name the project and fit my requirements!
Pei Qian had named most of the previous businesses personally.
Even though all of those names contained beautiful dreams, if they kept naming names like that, even a minority would not be able to take it.
It would be a waste of brain cells!
This time, Bao Xu took the initiative to come up with a name that met Pei Qian’s standards. He was overjoyed.
Suffering Travels.
This name was not only straightforward but also faintly murderous. It was perfect!
Pei Qian asked, “Does Suffering Travels only host Tengda’s employees or take orders from outside?”
Bao Xu answered, “I haven’t thought about it carefully.”
It was not that he had not thought about it carefully, but he did not care if he wanted to accept orders from outside.
To Bao Xu, the main task of this department was to arrange for everyone who had voted for him to go on a holiday previously. Therefore, the focus was naturally on internal employees!
It did not matter whether the people outside received him or not.
Pei Qian pondered for a moment. “Let’s take on external orders as well. That way, we can invest more.”
Bao Xu did not really understand what he meant, but he did not think too much about it. He only nodded. “No problem.”
He felt that this travel agency might spend a lot of money and not make money by only receiving Tengda’s internal employees, but it was nothing to the huge Tengda Corporation. Boss Pei might feel that it would be a little extravagant if he only received internal employees and invested a huge sum of money.
Therefore, receiving customers outside would recover their profits.
However, that was not the case at all.
That was because the System was very strict about such things.
If this department was only open to Tengda’s employees, it would be a part of employee benefits. The amount of funds allowed to be spent would be very limited.
However, if it was a normal company or travel club that was open to the outside world, it would be a legitimate and profitable industry. The amount of money allowed to be invested would greatly increase.
Since he could spend more money, why not?
Of course, opening it to the outside world meant that this industry had a possibility of making profits. This was a hidden danger.
He had to see how Bao Xu’s plan was done.
Bao Xu explained, “Boss Pei, just like the name of this travel agency, ‘Suffering Travel’, I hope that during the process of traveling, I can give everyone a completely different experience from ordinary travels.”
“Suffering travels would bring customers to places with bad environments, tough conditions, and unique scenery. In such extreme environments, they would be able to feel the hardships of real life and feel a sense of happiness.”
“At the same time, you can also strengthen your body and improve your physical fitness. You can invest in work in a better mental state.”
“In order to further increase the challenge, the contents of the journey must be completely confidential to customers. Customers would not know where the next destination is. They would be in a state of ignorance about everything in the journey.”
Just listening to it made Pei Qian feel hopeless.
How could he say that he wanted to strengthen his body, improve his physical fitness, and invest in work in a better mental state?
Good lord, why should I believe you?
This was obviously revenge. He wanted all of Tengda’s employees to feel his pain!
However…
Well done!
Pei Qian was completely enjoying the show. In any case, he was not the one suffering. What was there to worry about?
However, there was a problem.
Pei Qian asked, “If the environment is really bad and the conditions are really tough, we still have to ensure our safety, right?”
Bao Xu nodded. “Of course! This is a torturous trip, not a suicidal trip. We will definitely ensure safety.”
“I’ve already written everything in my plan for this.”
“First, we have to find a professional with rich experience in wilderness survival to conduct special training for everyone before we set off. That includes physical fitness special training and professional learning. We have to ensure that everyone’s physical fitness reaches the standard before we set off.”
“Secondly, when making plans, we have to make sufficient considerations and evaluations of the location. We will not go to more dangerous places. We will only go to more arduous but not dangerous places.”
“On top of that, we must have a safe team when we travel. Apart from this professional with rich outdoor survival experience as the team leader, we must also have logistics support. Once something special happens, we must deal with it immediately.”
“Lastly, considering how tired you are from traveling and how long you have to travel, you have to rest sufficiently during the journey. Raise your standards in food, rest, and other aspects, and plan your itinerary well to prevent over-exhaustion.”
Pei Qian scrolled down. The contents of the proposal were written in detail.
For example, the last point. There might be some stages in traveling where one had to travel mountains and water, camp in the wilderness, and look for food, but this experience could not be too frequent.
When one was more tired, they had to immediately return to rest. They would not be like many Wilderness Survival Masters who had to survive in the wilderness for a month. That would be more harmful to their bodies. Ordinary people could not do it, and there was no need to.
All in all, this plan summarized how to make passengers suffer while ensuring their safety.
Pei Qian could not help but nod slightly.
Alright, it looked like Bao Xu had not completely turned dark. He still had some humanity left.
Of course, he might also want to take it slow and steady so that he could fatten the pigs before killing them. After all, if the customers were really tired and fell sick, the trip would not be able to continue. On the contrary, it would only be able to make them suffer continuously if the customers were constantly full of energy.
Even though this plan was extremely tragic, Pei Qian really liked it.
That was because it could obviously burn money!
According to Bao Xu’s plan, it was necessary to specially hire a wilderness survival expert, right? A logistics team was also indispensable, right? The hotels and accommodations outside must also be very high standards, right?
All of those were extremely expensive!
It would be fine if the company would reimburse Tengda’s employees for their holiday. However, if customers outside the company wanted to come, the expenses would definitely not be small.
How could ordinary people have so much spare money to spend on torture?
In that case, wouldn’t the travel company not be able to make money but incur losses instead?
Losing money and affecting the employees’ work were killing two birds with one stone!
