Personal connections?
They were all confused.
Li Shi could not help but sigh silently.
His own employees were more satisfactory overall. They were reliable and hardworking.
However, in terms of diverting their thoughts and thinking deeply, they were far from Tengda’s employees. They were on a completely different level.
There was no helping it. There was a gap between Fu Hui Investments and Tengda Corporation after all. There was also a gap between Li Shi and Boss Pei.
He could not rush these things. He could only teach them slowly.
Li Shi explained, “What is the most important thing in making investments? The vision of the project.”
“What do you rely on to have a keen eye for projects? Your understanding of the latest business model and people you know.”
“If you know a business genius, then communicate more with him, learn more, or invest directly in his project. This is also part of your investment ability.”
“I keep emphasizing that you should not always work on these repetitive tasks. You have to use your brain more, think more, and expand your connections. It is also necessary to do.”
“However, how can such talents be easily interacted with?”
“Let me ask you now. Who were the people in the first and second episodes of Suffering Travels?”
Everyone could not help but look at each other. Most of them really did not know about this.
That was because they had not deliberately advertised these things on Suffering Travels. Until now, everyone’s understanding of Suffering Travels came from three aspects: the promotional video, documentary, and Teacher Qiao’s live-stream that Meng Chang had filmed previously.
The members of the first two episodes had indeed appeared on screen, but their identities were not indicated on the top. Many people did not pursue this point. They thought that they were just ordinary employees of Tengda.
However, there were still people who knew.
The employee who had been paying attention to the Suffering Travels according to Li Shi’s request previously raised his hand and said, “The first batch of people on the Suffering Travels are all the heads of Tengda’s various departments. Apart from the heads of the various departments, there are also outsiders who have made major contributions to Tengda from the lucky draw, such as Ruan Guangjian and Teacher Qiao.”
Li Shi nodded. “So, do you understand?”
Everyone was stunned for a moment before realization dawned on them.
So that was why!
This was what Boss Li meant by ‘connections’!
Boss Pei was a business genius, and Boss Li’s most successful investments were all invested with Boss Pei. According to his’ connections’, Boss Pei was Boss Li’s biggest connection.
However, how could ordinary people come into contact with Boss Pei’s level?
Thus, many people envied Boss Li for being able to rope Boss Pei in. Some people also said that Boss Li’s brainless investment method would not be a problem for anyone else.
However, Boss Li’s words today were earth-shaking. It made everyone in the conference room realize the huge mistake they had fallen into previously.
Finding useful connections was part of his investment ability!
Everyone only saw Boss Li investing mindlessly with Boss Pei. However, who would have seen Boss Li’s foresight before Tengda developed completely and established a deep friendship with Boss Pei?
Ordinary people would not be able to reach Boss Pei’s level, but what if they could contact the heads of Tengda’s various departments?
These people in charge were all able to take charge of things on their own. They made their own business very good and were deeply trusted by Boss Pei.
He could not invest in them directly but wouldn’t it be beneficial to chat with them, understand their way of thinking, and talk about their views on the current popular business model?
Under normal circumstances, Fu Hui Investments would definitely not be able to come into contact with the heads of Tengda’s various departments because there would not be direct business dealings.
It was even more impossible to contact you in private. Who are you? Why would they want to talk to you?
However, it was different in a place like Suffering Travels.
Everyone had suffered for two months. During this period, they trained together, suffered together, and could not play with their cell phones. When they rested, they could only chat. In addition, they had enough common topics to talk about. Naturally, they became familiar with each other.
What’s more, the announcement of the torturous trip said that it would provide more ways for the ascetics to communicate.
Wouldn’t they get to know each other after a while? What’s more, they would not like nodding off and having a superficial relationship. Everyone had suffered together. This friendship was relatively more bearable.
It would be a great thing if he could establish this connection with the heads of Tengda’s various departments!
Many people in charge had suffered in the first episode but it was entirely possible that Boss Pei would arrange for them to participate in the torturous trip a second time.
Of course, this might only happen once.
However, according to the current situation, even if the heads of Tengda’s various departments had been arranged, they would definitely continue to arrange for the candidates and core employees of the various departments. It was also very valuable to be able to contact these people.
Tengda’s various departments had changed so quickly. What if one day, this potential stock became the person-in-charge?
What’s more, on further thought, the earlier they signed up, the more they would be able to come into contact with Tengda’s higher management and core employees. If they signed up late, they might encounter ordinary employees.
There was also a certain amount of network value but compared to the first few episodes, the value of connections was greatly reduced. It was not very worth it.
Many people finally understood Li Shi’s foresight.
This was undoubtedly a benefit to the core employees of his company, a form of nurturing!
Of course, once these core employees matured, they would also bring tangible benefits to Fu Hui Investments. Li Shi would also be able to spend less effort.
However, no matter what, it was indeed generous of Boss Li to be willing to fork out money for two months of paid leave and twenty thousand yuan for each person. Boss Li was right. This was indeed for everyone’s good.
Everyone immediately raised their hands after figuring this out.
“Sh * t!”
“Me too!”
People would be willing to go, even if the company did not give them subsidies, as long as they were allowed to take two months off.
Suffering was secondary after all. Mental training was secondary as well. The key was for connections and future career development!
If he thought about it this way, a mere 50,000 yuan was not considered expensive for those who worked in investment firms. That was because connections were priceless and could not be bought with money.
Li Shi could not help but smile when he saw everyone raise their hands enthusiastically.
Very good, these people were the core employees of Fu Hui Investments after all. They were not too stupid. They understood immediately.
“Alright, since that’s the case, the HR department should come up with a name list as soon as possible to sign up. The earlier you sign up, the more valuable the 50,000 yuan would be.”
…
At the same time, at the special training base of Suffering Travels.
Everyone who had just ended their training obtained a short break. Yao Bo obtained the privilege of playing with his cell phone because he obtained first place for rock climbing.
That was reasonable. After all, he was the most professional among everyone. If he had not deliberately given in to others, his privileges would probably have been snatched away every time he played with his cell phone.
Everyone looked at Yao Bo with envy as he played with his cell phone.
Yao Bo scrolled through the messages and suddenly perked up. “Bao Xu left previously to do something. The Suffering Travels is finally open for registration!”
“I’ll send a message to the HR department and ask them to arrange for our company’s people to come and build a Suffering Travels!”
Yao Bo realized that Zhu Xiaoce, Hao Yun, and the other Tengda employees were looking at him strangely the moment he said that.
Qiao Liang obviously still had a conscience. He cleared his throat and said, “Boss Yao, don’t do what you don’t want! Can you bear to let your subordinates come to such a torturous place?”
Yao Bo was very surprised. “Why are you suffering? I think this place is quite good!”
“I might have played rock climbing for many years but this place is quite standardized. The training schedule is very reasonable.”
“Our Jinding Corporation’s main business is fitness clothing and drinks. How can it be reasonable for the employees not to work out or train? We should organize more activities like that!”
“I’ve calculated. Rock climbing classes are quite expensive to begin with. An hour of private training would cost at least two to three hundred yuan. Not only can you learn rock climbing during Suffering Travels, but you can also train in various wilderness survival activities. It would help to nurture the spirit of working hard. It’s quite worth it!”
“What’s more, I’ve already set an example. What reason do they have not to come?”
Qiao Liang was speechless after hearing Yao Bo’s words.
Indeed, Yao Bo had already set an example. What’s more, he had quite a good time on Suffering Travels. He had arranged for his own employees for a completely different motive from Bao Xu…
Yao Bo continued, “What’s more, there’s so much official verified content on Suffering Travels. Even if our employees are allowed to sign up voluntarily, someone should want to come. Look.”
Yao Bo showed the announcement of the Suffering Travels to Qiao Liang as he spoke.
Qiao Liang was stunned. “The title of ‘ascetic’? There are various benefits? Holy sh * t…”
He suddenly felt that Suffering Travels did not seem to be that torturous anymore.
As a gamer, I might not be interested in you telling me about suffering. However, if you tell me about complete success and upgrading, I won’t be sleepy!
Qiao Liang felt that as a gamer, his genes had recovered and he was suddenly filled with motivation.
Wasn’t the title ‘ascetic’ tailor-made for him?
However, Qiao Liang panicked when he saw that there was one that would record the results of this episode.
At that time, he would not add a line of words like ‘bottom-tier member of the second episode’ behind his title of ascetic!
That title would not be an honor. It would be completely embarrassing!
Of course, there was no detailed description of ‘recording results’ in the announcement. Clarifying the ranking was considered a record. The titles such as’ outstanding ‘and’ outstanding ‘were also recorded. The latter was more acceptable mentally.
However, no matter what, Qiao Liang felt that he had to work hard.
He could not end up at the bottom after coming to suffer!
Qiao Liang was cheering himself on when he heard Yao Bo say in frustration, “Hey! The registration is full!”
“Jinding Corporation only signed up for ten-odd people, and they’re already full?”
“I didn’t expect netizens to think that it was too much. They were more eager than the other when they signed up.”
“Forget it, I can only wait for the next episode. I’ll ask the HR department to pay attention. I’ll try my best to register for the next episode.”
Yao Bo felt very regretful. The quota of 200 people had only been filled up a few hours ago. It was enough to show the popularity of Suffering Travels.
He was still too slow!
“It’s full?” Yao Bo and everyone else, including Qiao Liang, were very surprised.
Zhu Xiaoce and the others were especially shocked.
That was because most people in Tengda felt that this Suffering Travels was purely created by Bao Xu to torture people. If it was really open to registration, no one would come even if it was free, let alone fifty thousand yuan.
Boss Pei probably supported this industry out of love and indulgence for Bao Xu.
However, from the looks of it now, the people outside were actually so eager to sign up?
Could it be that… Boss Pei really saw the commercial value behind the torturous trip? Did he really make the project that Bao Xu used to torture people a brand new business model?
Was this the charm of the God of Commerce?
