Chapter 80 Suffering Travel

August 7th, Tuesday, noon.

Pei Qian woke up naturally, feeling satisfied as he stretched luxuriously.

Not having to worry about settlements is so comfortable!

Of course, saying he wasn't worried was only temporary; these past two months had just been relatively peaceful.

Yesterday, after arranging matters for the Dawn Games platform, Pei Qian called Liang Qingfan to give him a heads-up about constructing the Tenda headquarters.

There was no need to rush this matter; it needed careful consideration. He'd have Liang Qingfan consider the location and produce a basic plan first, then give the go-ahead for construction.

Even though this building wouldn't be profitable, how it was built would make a big difference.

The headquarters building was where most employees worked every day.

How should this building be constructed to spend more money while also reducing employees' work efficiency, making them not want to come to work when they were at home, and not want to work even when they were at work?

That was a skill.

So, while Liang Qingfan was considering the location and developing the initial plan, Pei Qian also had to think hard about how to build this building to achieve his goals.

After all, almost all of Tenda's departments had previously rented office space. Although the space was large, it wasn't their own building, and many unconventional operations were restricted.

Now that they were building their own building, they definitely had to make up for all the previous shortcomings!

Pei Qian had tried to find some information online and looked at other companies' buildings, but it was mostly unhelpful.

After all, when other wealthy companies built buildings and provided good working environments for their employees, the fundamental purpose was to keep them at the company to work overtime.

This was clearly completely contrary to Tenda's fundamental purpose in building a building.

Therefore, Pei Qian couldn't rely on other companies' successful experiences and could only rely on his own imagination.

After eating the lunch delivered by Lazy Kitchen Takeaway, Pei Qian took out his laptop and continued to gather inspiration online.

He was starting to feel a bit sleepy when the phone rang sometime after one in the afternoon.

It was Bao Xu calling.

"President Pei, I've thought about the basic situation of the travel agency. When would you have time for me to report to you in person?"

Pei Qian was surprised and delighted.

Bao Xu's efficiency was impressive!

He'd only received the Excellent Employee award last Friday and decided to start a travel company, and by Tuesday he had already figured out the specific arrangements.

If it were any other industry, Pei Qian would be a little worried about doing things too quickly, but this was different.

The sooner the travel agency was set up and the relevant procedures were completed, the sooner the backbone employees of each department could be sent on trips. Of course, the faster, the better!

"I'm free this afternoon. At 3 PM, come directly to the conference room on the 16th floor of the company."

After setting the time with Bao Xu, Pei Qian took a nap and then went to the company, feeling refreshed.

...

In the conference room, Bao Xu handed over a document.

"President Pei, this is the plan I came up with in one day yesterday. Please take a look."

"The funding required is relatively large, so I wanted to consult with you first."

Pei Qian reached out and took the plan. When he heard that the required funding was relatively large, he couldn't help but smile.

"You don't have to worry about funding, just spend it freely!"

The original Dream Fund was only one million, but that was the standard when Tenda was first established. With Tenda's current size, one million couldn't do much, so the actual funding received was far higher than that.

Now that he had the Dream Fund, he could start a new company. He could just take the plan to President Pei and ask for as much money as he wanted. If it wasn't enough, he could add more later.

After taking the plan, Pei Qian first looked at the name of the company.

"Suffering Travels?"

Pei Qian looked up at Bao Xu.

Bao Xu nodded, "Yes, President Pei, that's the name I came up with. If you don't think it's appropriate, we can change it..."

Pei Qian raised his hand, signaling him to stop, "No, this name is excellent, no need to change it!"

He was more than delighted; he was simply gratified.

Finally, there was an employee who took the initiative to name a project and it met his requirements!

Most of the previous industries were named by Pei Qian himself.

Although these names all held good wishes, naming them all the time was a bit too much, even for a naming expert.

It was too much of a waste of brain cells!

This time, Bao Xu took the initiative to come up with a name, and it met Pei Qian's standards, which was simply a pleasant surprise.

Suffering Travels.

This name was not only straightforward but also subtly revealed a murderous aura, which was perfect!

Pei Qian asked, "Is Suffering Travels only for Tenda employees, or do you also accept external orders?"

Bao Xu replied, "I haven't thought about that carefully yet."

Actually, it wasn't that he hadn't thought about it carefully, but that he simply didn't care whether or not he accepted external orders.

For Bao Xu, the main task of this department was to arrange trips for all the people who had voted for him to go on a trip, so the focus was naturally on internal employees!

As for whether or not to accept outsiders, it didn't matter.

Pei Qian thought for a while, "Let's also accept external orders, that way there can be more investment."

Bao Xu didn't quite understand what he meant, but he didn't think too much about it and just nodded, "No problem."

He felt that although it would cost a lot of money and not make any money for the travel agency to only serve Tenda employees, it wouldn't be a big deal for the large Tenda Group. President Pei probably felt that it would be a bit extravagant to only serve internal employees and invest a lot of money.

So, they could accept some external customers to make some money back.

But that wasn't the case at all.

It was because the system had very strict definitions for this kind of thing.

If this department was only open to Tenda's internal employees, then it would be part of the employee benefits, and the allowed expenses would be very limited.

But if it was a normal company, a travel agency, open to the outside world, then it would be a proper industry with profitability, and the allowed investment would be greatly increased.

Since he could spend more money, why not do it?

Of course, opening it to the outside world meant that the industry had the potential to be profitable, which was a hidden danger.

He still had to see how Bao Xu's plan was specifically done.

Bao Xu introduced, "President Pei, just like the name of this travel agency, 'Suffering Travels,' I hope that in the process of traveling, we can bring everyone a completely different experience from ordinary travel."

"Suffering Travels will take customers to places with harsh environments, difficult conditions, and unique scenery. In this extreme environment, they can better feel the hard-won nature of real life and feel a sense of happiness."

"At the same time, it can also strengthen their physique, improve their physical fitness, and allow them to devote themselves to their work in a better state of mind."

"To further enhance the challenge, the content of the trip must be kept completely confidential from the customers. Customers will not know what the next destination is, and they will be completely unaware of everything on the trip."

Pei Qian felt a little despair just listening.

What did he mean by strengthening their physique, improving their physical fitness, and allowing them to devote themselves to their work in a better state of mind?

Yeah right, he believed him!

This was clearly revenge, wanting all of Tenda's employees to feel his pain!

But...

Well done!

Pei Qian was completely in a state of watching the fun, not worrying about anything since he wasn't the one suffering.

But there was also a problem with this.

Pei Qian asked, "If you're really going to travel to places with harsh environments and difficult conditions, safety issues still need to be guaranteed, right?"

Bao Xu nodded, "Of course! We're doing Suffering Travels, not Suicide Travels. We'll definitely ensure safety in all aspects."

"I've written about this in my plan."

"First of all, we need to find a professional with extensive experience in wilderness survival to give everyone special training before departure. This includes physical training and professional knowledge learning. We must ensure that everyone's physical fitness meets the standards before departure."

"Secondly, when making the plan, we will fully consider and evaluate the choice of locations. We will not go to some of the more dangerous places, only to those that are more difficult but not dangerous."

"Thirdly, there must be a safety team when traveling. In addition to this professional with extensive experience in wilderness survival as the leader, there must also be logistical support personnel to deal with special situations as soon as possible."

"Finally, considering that traveling is very tiring and the travel time is very long, we must take adequate rest during the trip. We will improve standards and plan the itinerary in terms of diet and rest to prevent excessive fatigue."

Pei Qian flipped through the plan and saw that these contents were indeed written in the back, and in great detail.

For example, the last point, although there may be some links in the trip that involve trekking, camping in the wild, and finding food, this kind of experience should not be too frequent.

When they are more tired, they should immediately return to rest. There will be no situations like many wilderness survival experts who live in the wilderness for a month continuously, because that would be more harmful to the body. The average person can't do it, and there's no need to do it.

In short, this plan can be summarized as how to make passengers suffer in every possible way while ensuring safety.

Pei Qian couldn't help but nod slightly.

Okay, it seemed that Bao Xu hadn't completely turned evil and still had some humanity left.

Of course, he might also want to take it slow and raise the pigs before slaughtering them. After all, if the customers really got sick from exhaustion, the trip wouldn't be able to continue. Only by ensuring that the customers are always full of energy can they continue to suffer.

Although this plan was quite cruel, Pei Qian liked it very much.

Because it was obviously going to burn money!

According to Bao Xu's plan, it was necessary to hire a wilderness survival expert, right? A logistics team was also essential, right? The hotels and accommodations outside must also be of a very high standard, right?

These were all very valuable!

Tenda employees could get reimbursed for their trips, which was fine. But if customers from outside the company wanted to come, the cost would definitely not be low.

Where would the average person get so much money to spend on suffering?

Wouldn't this travel agency completely fail to make money and instead lose money all the time?

It would lose money and affect the work of the employees, which was a double win!
