May 8th, Wednesday.

“This is the first batch of companies that have signed up for the Tenda Cooperation Department. There are a little more than expected. Take a look and decide which one to visit first?” Pei Qian handed the tablet to Min Jingchao.

Min Jingchao reached out to take the tablet, and upon seeing the list in the table, his expression froze in shock.

“Mr. Pei, you call this ‘a little more’?”

The list contained a full 70+ companies!

Moreover, not only were there gaming companies and game distribution channels, but also many other miscellaneous companies from various industries and of all sizes!

What were these companies doing, blindly joining the crowd?

Min Jingchao was a game designer himself, so he could only collaborate with gaming-related companies. Mr. Pei had made this very clear to other companies when establishing the Tenda Cooperation Department.

But these irrelevant companies had still signed up without hesitation!

Some companies even stated: It doesn’t matter; when suitable candidates become available, or when Min Jingchao had time to delve deeper into these businesses, they could cooperate later. For now, they just wanted to reserve a spot!

Min Jingchao couldn’t tell if these companies had too much faith in him, or too much faith in Tenda’s money-making ability, or if they were simply trying to gain visibility with Tenda, just to be counted among them.

However, more likely, it was because Firestorm Studio had made a fortune with the game “Bullet Hole 2,” causing countless companies to become envious and jealous!

This business miracle had turned the Tenda Cooperation Department into a hot commodity, with every company wanting to grab onto this golden thigh!

This made Min Jingchao feel a bit anxious.

“Mr. Pei, these companies seem to have some unrealistic expectations about my abilities! The success with Firestorm Studio was mainly because your ideas were good! Now that the Tenda Cooperation Department doesn’t have your help, I’m worried I might not be up to the task!”

Pei Qian waved his hand dismissively: “You needn’t worry about this. I’ve already told these companies. The Tenda Cooperation Department is only responsible for providing ideas; they provide the manpower and money, and assume the profits and losses themselves!”

“If the project loses money, it has nothing to do with us—it’s because they’re too incompetent to execute properly.”

“If the project makes money, Tenda and the Tenda Cooperation Department, including you and me, get bonuses.”

“As long as it succeeds, it’s a win-win! These companies are all voluntary participants who have signed agreements. You just need to work freely without worrying too much!”

For Pei Qian, this type of cooperation didn’t have any direct stakes for him. If they lost money, it wouldn’t affect Tenda because these companies assumed their own profits and losses. If they made money, wasn’t it reasonable for Pei Qian, as the chief designer, to take some commission and bonuses?

So he didn’t have as many burdens and was much more composed than Min Jingchao.

Infected by Mr. Pei’s spirit, Min Jingchao also calmed down, continuously encouraging himself with the Tenda spirit in his heart.

If Mr. Pei thought there was no problem, then there definitely wasn’t a problem!

Min Jingchao picked out the company he most wanted to visit from the list.

“Mr. Pei, let’s start with Longyu Group first.”

Pei Qian was somewhat surprised by his choice: “Why go to Longyu Group first? Haven’t they already tasted success in the ‘Bullet Hole 2’ collaboration project?”

Min Jingchao was silent for a moment, then explained: “I chose Longyu Group mainly for three reasons.”

“First, Longyu Group is a leading game channel in the country, holding a large number of games.”

“After going to Longyu Group, I can focus on transforming and improving these pay-to-win games, changing their operational strategies.”

“As a numerical balance specialist who has been responsible for GOG operations for a long time, I’m more proficient and confident in this area!”

“Second, Longyu Group can exert pressure on some cooperative developers, requiring them to modify their games.”

“As a top-ranking major channel in the country, Longyu Group has this capability.”

“Transforming Longyu Group also means simultaneously transforming many game development companies.”

“In terms of efficiency, it’s much higher than going to other game development companies!”

“Third, Longyu Group has already tasted some sweetness from our previous cooperation, which means they will be more willing to listen!”

“Although we can constrain them by signing agreements and requiring cooperation partners to comply with regulations, agreements can never cover everything!”

“If certain employees don’t cooperate during work, or if some leaders secretly set obstacles for me, I would be very uncomfortable.”

“Since Longyu Group has already tasted success, they will trust and rely on me more, and I will face less resistance in my work!”

“In summary, I believe that if this cooperation between the Tenda Cooperation Department and Longyu Group is also successful, then the cooperation can naturally be extended to other companies. This would set another good benchmark!”

Pei Qian very much agreed with Min Jingchao’s thinking: “Since you’ve considered everything thoroughly, don’t have any concerns just because I’m not there. Go ahead boldly!”

“However…” Min Jingchao wasn’t carried away by Pei Qian’s encouragement. He paused and said: “Mr. Pei, I still lack a handy management tool.”

“After signing the cooperation agreement, although we’ve agreed on the general direction, this agreement is difficult to implement in daily work.”

“As I just mentioned, I’m very concerned that some employees won’t cooperate, or that some leaders will secretly set obstacles for me!”

“After all, each company’s situation is different, with internal factions. As a new manager who has just arrived, I can easily be marginalized and isolated!”

“Although Longyu Group is a relatively reliable company, it’s a large company with deep internal waters. I can’t be sure that after gaining the support of Longyu Group’s upper management, I can execute my plan without any resistance!”

“The previous successful cooperation with Firestorm Studio was because Zhou Muyan understands games and also completely trusted your ideas, Mr. Pei! Combined with the fact that people like Sun Xi got along well with me, it was only under these multiple coincidences that such good results could be achieved.”

“This time, I’m going in alone, and I’m really not very confident.”

Pei Qian seemed to have anticipated this problem and smiled slightly: “That’s easy to handle! Our company’s new office software has just been developed; you can try it.”

“You can bring this new office software and require all employees from top to bottom in the companies cooperating with Tenda to use it! We’ll write this directly into the cooperation agreement, and they must comply!”

Min Jingchao was surprised: “Mr. Pei, does this software have a name yet?”

“Of course it does. Its name is ARS,” Pei Qian said with a smile.

The name sounded a bit unfamiliar, and Min Jingchao didn’t immediately know which three words it was an abbreviation for. He pondered, knowing that the most commonly used office software was called FXT, and there might be some connection.

Seeing his puzzled expression, Pei Qian explained: “It stands for ‘arouse revolution system.'”

Min Jingchao tasted these three words: “Awaken Reform System?”

Pei Qian smiled slightly: “Exactly! This office software is meant to initiate a revolution in the corporate office field. It’s not just office software, but also a comprehensive and complete communication system.”

Min Jingchao praised: “The name is truly apt!”

Pei Qian smiled slightly but didn’t tell Min Jingchao the true meaning of ARS. He was afraid Min Jingchao wouldn’t be able to maintain his composure if he knew the truth.

In fact, this ARS wasn’t “arouse revolution system” at all, but an abbreviation for the three Chinese characters meaning “Sleep Soundly”!

Pei Qian’s original intention was that the biggest difference between this software and other work communication software was: other software would suddenly ring at midnight, waking people from their sleep to execute urgent work. But this communication software would never allow such situations to occur!

All employees using it could fall asleep soundly at any time, without worrying about being disturbed, whether sleeping at night or resting at noon.

What a fitting name!

Such a name, of course, came from the naming genius, Mr. Pei!

Min Jingchao immediately said: “With this software, things will be much easier. If someone tries to secretly set obstacles for me or doesn’t cooperate with my work, I’ll directly use this software to deal with them!”

“There’s absolutely no need to worry about situations where I let employees rest, but employees don’t dare to rest.”

As he spoke, Min Jingchao stood up eagerly: “I’ll head to Magic City right away and strive to complete the handover by this Friday, so I can start the comprehensive transformation of Longyu Group from next Monday!”

Pei Qian also stood up and patted his shoulder: “Good luck, I’m waiting for news of your victorious return!”

…

After seeing Min Jingchao off, Pei Qian briefly checked the situation of the Anti-Tenda Alliance.

“The Anti-Tenda Alliance seems to have lowered their flags and silenced their drums lately!”

“Ah, how boring. I didn’t do anything, and they’ve already retreated. It’s truly troubling…”

“Well, let them recuperate for a while. After all, this cycle is too long, and there’s no rush for a day or two!”

If following a normal person’s thinking, this would definitely be the time to pursue victory and pour oil on the fire. The Anti-Tenda Alliance had initiated a public opinion war but lost and had now retreated. If Tenda Group launched a public opinion offensive now, they might achieve good results.

But Pei Qian didn’t think that way!

What if one wave completely killed off the Anti-Tenda Alliance? Then there would be nothing left to play with! This cycle was still ongoing!

Since the Anti-Tenda Alliance had retreated, they should be given a chance to recuperate, deliberately nurturing the enemy to cause future trouble.

“For the short term, let’s focus our energy on the Tenda Cooperation Department side.”

“If all goes well, Min Jingchao should be able to bring me good bonus income.”

“We need to consider both the settlement losses and the occasional small incomes.”

“Can’t treat them differently just because one is 15 million and the other is a few hundred thousand. It’s all money.”

Thinking of this, Pei Qian sent another internal notice to all departments.

He notified all departments that they need not continue to pay attention to the movements of the Anti-Tenda Alliance but should focus on handling their internal work!

If Min Jingchao’s Tenda Cooperation Department needed anything, all departments should closely monitor and fully cooperate.

This would give the Anti-Tenda Alliance some time to better prepare, allowing this battle to continue for a longer duration!
