1361 How Did Boss Pei Do It?

Zhu Xiaoce said to Wang Xiaobin in a low voice, "Boss Pei is really amazing. How can he make suffering an industry? Could we have wronged Brother Bao? Brother Bao really wants to make a career out of it?"

Wang Xiaobin sniggered. "Even if I'm wrong, I'm wrong about Boss Pei. What has it got to do with the person surnamed Bao?! How can a petty person like Bao Xu think of turning Suffering Travels into an industry? I think I've overestimated him. Isn't he relying on Boss Pei's foresight?"

Zhu Xiaoce nodded. "Yes, that makes sense."

"Think on the bright side. This is good news for us. After all, we were meant to suffer. Now, we can get the title and benefits of being an ascetic. It's equivalent to freeloading!"

"However, I'm still very confused. Where did so many people sign up? The title of 'ascetic' and the benefits are more attractive, but 50,000 yuan is real after all. The two months' suffering is real as well. There shouldn't be so many people snatching it, right?"

Wang Xiaobin shook his head slightly. "You've touched on my blind spot. If I knew, I would have reached Boss Pei's level."

Zhu Xiaoce thought for a while but could not think of a particularly convincing reason. He could only give up temporarily.

At the same time, he felt emotional. As expected of Boss Pei, no one could compare to his business sense!

…

At the same time, in Tengda Corporation's President's office…

"No, where did so many people register?"

"The spots are taken up? Are these people crazy? Is there something wrong with their brains?"

"Fifty thousand yuan for two months of suffering? Do you have too much money to burn?"

"If you think you have too much money, you can transfer it to my private account! What's so good about giving Tengda money for free!"

"Ah, I'm so pissed off!"

Pei Qian had nowhere to vent his anger.

Everything had been fine in the morning. However, within a few hours, the situation had changed drastically!

Pei Qian had been happily waiting for the registration for the Suffering Travels to be unsatisfied. In that case, he would either arrange for more employees in Tengda Corporation or form a team with fewer people. No matter which one it was, he would be able to burn more money.

However, he did not expect it to be full!

What's more, based on the current number of people, not only could he not burn less money, but he might also have to consider expanding the scale of Suffering Travels.

He could not possibly ask them to wait for a year, right?

"No, I have to call Bao Xu to ask what's going on."

"Did he do something shameful in secret that caused this outcome!"

At first, Pei Qian trusted Bao Xu very much. After all, Bao Xu had reported the increase in price and the title of 'ascetic' in advance. Pei Qian felt that Bao Xu was not like the other person-in-charge who always hid things and was trustworthy.

However, the problem was that this change alone should not be enough to fill the Suffering Travels, right?

There must be a hidden reason, a reason that he did not know about.

The key was whether this was a coincidence or Bao Xu's intention?

It would have been fine if it was the former. However, if it was the latter, Bao Xu might look loyal on the surface but he was actually very bad on the inside. Pei Qian did not mind adding more difficulty to the Suffering Travels so that Bao Xu, the person-in-charge, could take the lead.

The phone call was connected in no time.

Bao Xu sounded surprised. "Eh? Boss Pei, I was just about to call you to report."

"I've received a huge order for Suffering Travels."

Pei Qian was stunned. "Huh? What big order?"

Bao Xu said, "It's like this. Boss Zhou of Sun Strike Studios said that he wanted to arrange a Suffering Travels for his employees. At that time, I offered a friendship price of 50% off."

"I thought there were only a few people, but Boss Zhou said that the entire Bullet Hole 2 project team is coming! There are more than a hundred people, and these are only the core development members of the project team. The peripheral members are not included."

"This discount is a little too much, so I wanted to report to you just now."

Pei Qian was elated when he heard that. "Oh? No problem!"

"Boss Zhou is our old friend. It's reasonable to give him a discount!"

"You can decide on the discounts in the future. You don't have to report to me."

Pei Qian's mood improved after hearing Bao Xu's words.

It was no wonder that the quota of 200 people had been filled up so quickly. Sun Strike Studios had taken up more than a hundred!

He did not have to worry too much if it was just a friendly visit.

After all, there were only so many companies that had a close relationship with Tengda. Even if there was a situation of friendship and support, it should not last long.

Zhou Muyan would not send his employees to Suffering Travels time and time again, right?

That would be too inhumane. Even Pei Qian could not do something so deranged.

What's more, the registration price of these people was not the original price. It was a 50% discount for friendship.

If it was 25,000 yuan per person, Suffering Travels would definitely incur losses. Even though the loss would not be considered a lot of money for the entire Suffering Travels, it was always good to incur losses!

Bao Xu continued, "Alright, Boss Pei. I'll open another episode for them outside of the current name list. After all, the current 200 people have been fully registered. They cannot join the current 200 people."

Pei Qian was stunned. His mind was filled with question marks.

?

"Wait a minute."

"The hundred over people from Sun Strike Studios are not among the current two hundred?"

Bao Xu answered matter-of-factly, "That's right. When Boss Zhou contacted me to confirm the number of people, 200 people had already been reported."

"That's why I thought that after this episode of Suffering Travels ends, I have to make some adjustments to the structure of the entire Suffering Travels. Otherwise, I won't be able to eat the high demand now."

"Even if we bring 40 people in one cycle of Suffering Travels after that, 10 internal Tengda employees and 30 external employees would take more than 10 cycles to bring over these 300 people, which is two years. This time is completely unacceptable."

"I think we should expand the team as soon as possible and divide the suffering travels into three to four classes, or even more. We have to hurry up and prepare new indoor venues and outdoor venues…"

"Of course, we have to follow up with personnel training. We can open more classes, but we can't sacrifice the quality of training. The name is Suffering Travels. That suffering will definitely be deserved."

"Of course, there are benefits to expanding. We can arrange for more Tengda employees according to the proportion of people."

"Tengda has so many employees. It would take years to arrange for ten people to work in each cycle. The efficiency is too low…"

Pei Qian did not hear a single word that Bao Xu said after that.

There was only one huge question mark in his mind.

Why? Why!

The Suffering Travels had already become like this. The price was high and the suffering was high. Yet, there were still so many people who wanted to enter?

The key was that there was a limit of 200 people. If there was no limit, wouldn't the queue be ten years later?

Bao Xu finally finished explaining his plan for the Suffering Travels.

After a moment of silence, Pei Qian asked, "Do you understand why Suffering Travels is full?"

Bao Xu was stunned for a moment. Then, he said in shame, "I'm sorry, Boss Pei. I'm not very talented. I don't understand how you plan the Suffering Travels."

"Actually, I'm also very confused about the popularity of Suffering Travels. Or… can you give me some pointers?"

Pei Qian: "…"

You don't know, I don't know either. Who would know?

Why did Suffering Travels suddenly become popular?

"Alright, continue making arrangements." Pei Qian hung up silently.

There was a problem with Suffering Travels, but he did not know where the problem was.

What's more, the problem was probably with him.

What should he do now?

I'll wait online. It's quite urgent!

…

At the same time, netizens began their second round of heated discussions about Suffering Travels.

"What's going on? I said in the morning that no one would sign up for this thing. It's already full in the afternoon?"

"I just spent a lot of effort to make the live-stream popular. I wanted the host to participate in Suffering Travels. The others followed suit. The host finally had no choice but to sign up. In the end, the number of people was full? WTF?"

"The host must have been so happy that he escaped."

"No, he seems to be in a complicated mood. He's grateful that he escaped the calamity, but he also suspects that he missed a very precious opportunity… After all, the fact that the Suffering Travels can be filled so quickly means that many people approve of it very much. They even feel that 50,000 yuan is quite worth it."

"Sh * t, I don't understand this crazy world anymore…"

"It can't be fake, right?"

"Impossible. Tengda would never do something like that. Tengda's data is all real data. If it's full, it would really be full. It would definitely not be discounted."

"That's strange. Are there really so many masochists in the world? What's the point of spending 50,000 yuan to suffer?"

The netizens could not figure it out no matter how hard they thought. They could only say that the world of rich people was so magical. The way they spent money was completely different from ordinary people.

However, this confusion made the topic of suffering travel continue to be hotly discussed.

Previously, during the first episode of Suffering Travels, although there were promotional videos and documentaries released, not much discussion was stimulated online because everyone treated it as a joke.

At most, he would joke about it and then stop paying attention.

However, things were different now. This thing was fully registered to the public at the speed of light. To a certain extent, it meant that its business model had been successful!

He could not guarantee that this popularity would continue, but at least it was a good start.

This huge contrast aroused the curiosity and discussion of netizens. Their strong desire for knowledge also made them want to work hard to dig out the details and deeper business logic of Suffering Travels. Thus, it became a hot topic online!

Many self media, Big V accounts, public accounts, UP Masters, and so on also saw this incident. They felt that it was a very good material that would definitely catch people's attention!

Thus, many analyses of Suffering Travels began to increase.

These analyses might be one-sided or even contradictory. However, this was obviously not a bad thing. Instead, it would continue to increase the internet's discussion of Suffering Travels!

Everyone was very curious. What did Boss Pei do to make 'suffering' a business model?
