Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 611: The Philosophy of Tengda Lifestyle Application

“The rules of the competition are very simple. Make a schedule according to the participating teams and try to win as much as possible. The winner could be scored by the spectators and a comprehensive ‘performance index’. The higher the index, the more bonus there would be for the game!

“Of course, there would be nothing if they lost in performance.

“The minimum for a game is 50,000 yuan with the maximum as 100,000 yuan. The bonus will grow with higher scores. There would be six games a day for a total of 10 days. If there were still bonuses left, they would all be given to the team with the highest score.

“Would you be interested to participate?”

Zhang Yuan could not help but sigh on the other end of the phone. Live-streaming platforms were really creative with their ways!

Performance competition? It sounded f*cking interesting...

Zhang Yuan thought for a while. Why not participate in it? If winning would be able to win bonuses. It would not be bad for the players to improve their lives.

“Alright, both of our teams would be participating,” Zhang Yuan replied after some thoughts.

Liu Liang was overjoyed. “Alright! Then, I will find other popular clubs and send you the schedule when it was arranged!”

Liu Liang could not help but feel happy after hanging up.

Success!

The sponsorship of DGE Club might be gone, but they could still bring traffic to ZZ Live-Stream through this method!

The previous GOG competition had proved that there were currently a group of GOG game spectators in China. The audiences of live-stream were also increasing. Everyone was looking forward to the competition since there was no such competition now.

In an entertainment competition, there would be traffic as long as they were entertaining.

The prize money of six million yuan might seem to be a lot, but ZZ Live-Stream would certainly not pay the entire amount. Such competition might be online, but it would definitely be able to attract advertisement sponsorship and share a huge part of the cost.

The more Liu Liang thought about it, the happier he became. He immediately ordered his staff to undertake it.

...

On DGE Club’s end, Zhang Yuan told the players that ZZ Live-Stream was about to host a ‘performance contest’. No one was very interested in it at first.

What ZZ Live-Stream Performance Competition which sounded very degrading?

We are professional players! GOG’s highest standards!

We respect every game! Never look down on their opponents!

Asking us to perform, what did you think we were? Are we circus clowns?

However, Zhang Yuan said that ‘every game could win up to 100,000 yuan according to their score. The club and the players would split half’. Everyone’s expressions changed significantly.

100,000 yuan for one game?

If Team One and Team Two were to play a game a day and perform well, wouldn’t everyone be able to get 10,000 yuan? If they were to play for 10 days, they would obtain 100,000 yuan each?

Moreover, they could obtain the remaining money if there were remaining bonuses? This quick money was too easy to obtain! Wouldn’t they be idiots?

The team members quickly became energetic about it.

“No problem, isn’t it just to perform as much as possible while guaranteeing that we’ll win? Leave it to us!”

August 11th, Thursday...

Pei Qian came to Fish-Catching Take-Out Store Number One to check on the status of the microbial waste processor and to have lunch. After more than a week of preparation, the microbial waste processor machines ordered beforehand would be able to be put to use soon.

It was close to lunch. Pei Qian sighed silently as he watched the delivery guys outside Fish-Catching Take-Out Store Number One picking up and delivering food. He sighed silently.

So difficult!

It had been almost two weeks since garbage sorting. As a result, many people’s living standards had changed. Many jokes appeared on the internet, such as ‘what kind of garbage are you?’

Discussions would make it a trend, and trends would bring sales volume.

During this period, Fish-Catching Take-Out’s orders had been increasing every day. The originally idle dishwashers were working non-stop. The delivery guys were all in good spirits since the more orders they delivered would mean that their commissions grew with it. Their incomes would rise sharply this month.

It was just that all these were not good news for Boss Pei. He could only silently hope that the waste processor and Gourmet Laboratory would be able to greatly increase the cost of Fish-Catching Take-Out so that they did not make too much money.

Pei Qian listened to Rui Yuchen explain the specific uses of the microbial waste processor while he observed this machine.

This thing was about two cubic meters in size. It had a stainless steel box which was a bit like a large washing machine or a freezer. It had a garbage input point and an operation panel.

He smelt it up close. It was very airtight so there was basically no smell.

However, Rui Yuchen deliberately placed it at the back door to prevent a small amount of smell from escaping. At the same time, it could facilitate the recycling of fertilizer within.

“Boss Pei, there are special microbes inside this machine. It can reduce up to 99% of kitchen waste; even the hard-to-digest garbage such as bones could be decomposed... though it would take a longer time.

“The gas discharged after filtering, plasma high-temperature sintering, UV photolysis, and other processes is colorless, odorless, and non-toxic. The remaining solid is a small amount of bacterial fertilizer which is organic.

“After being mixed with soil, it can be used as compost within a month or two to improve the soil condition of fields, vegetable gardens, and urban flower beds...”

Pei Qian nodded silently, not really listening attentively.

Alright, the money was spent anyway. The fertilizers they produced were so little that it was impossible to make much money. The waste decomposer machine was hidden behind the store so no one should notice it.

Pei Qian lost interest in no time. “Alright, let’s equip all future Fish-Catching Take-Out stores with this machine.”

Pei Qian went back to the store and took a seat. He had decided to have lunch here before leaving. The dishes were ready in no time.

Pei Qian took two bites, and his expression froze.

He saw two uninvited guests walking towards Fish-Catching Take-Out. One of them was holding a microphone, and the other was holding a camera!

Pei Qian looked at the journalist who came in through the front entrance and the bright camera lens. He looked at the food that he had just eaten and turned his back towards the journalist to prevent his face from being photographed.

It would be problematic if the journalist were to interview him as ‘an enthusiastic citizen, Mr. Pei’.

Fortunately, there were other customers in the store. Pei Qian ate in silence and pretended to be an ordinary passerby.

As expected, the journalist interviewed a customer on his left.

“Hello, what do you think about Fish-Catching Take-Out’s garbage sorting?” The journalist asked.

This guy happened to have his side facing the journalist. He swiped his phone while eating and did not notice the camera shooting.

“What do I think? I’m too lazy to sort the garbage! The food here is delicious and substantial. It is slightly more expensive, but I can eat worry-free since I don’t need to do garbage sorting after my food...”

He realized that something was wrong when he was half-way through his comment. He turned, only to see a huge camera filming him.

The customer froze. “Are you filming? Interview? News program?”

The journalist nodded. “Yes.”

The customer hurriedly turned around after placing his phone in his pocket. “Uh, garbage sorting is good! It is everyone’s responsibility to protect the environment and save resources! I think Fish-Catching Take-Out has done a very good job in this area, in line with the concept of environmental protection. Therefore, I’ll support it with my own actions!

“Please delete the part in front, thank you.” The customer said in a small voice after he was done.

The journalist could not help but laugh. “Sure, don’t worry.”

Rui Yuchen also noticed the journalist and greeted him with a confused face. Obviously, he was totally unprepared for it so it was not prearranged.

“Hello, I am a journalist for the evening news section of Jingzhou TV Station. Are you the manager of this store?” The female journalist asked with a smile.

Rui Yuchen nodded. “I am the person-in-charge of Fish-Catching Take-Out Business Unit from Tengda Corporation and also the manager of Fish-Catching Take-Out Store Number One.”

He glanced at Boss Pei and deduced that Boss Pei did not want to show his face based on his seating posture. He tacitly pretended not to know him.

Pei Qian was slightly relieved that Rui Yuchen did not mention him. Fortunately, he was more discreet.

The journalist was very happy. “The thing is... our evening news section wants to report on F&Bs[1] that are doing well in garbage sorting. Fish-Catching Take-Out seems to have done a great job in this regard.

“Could you please give us a brief introduction to the operating philosophy behind Fish-Catching Take-Out?”

Rui Yuchen nodded. He had stored a wealth of content previously. It would be great for him to take the opportunity to explain in detail.

“Fish-Catching Take-Out is an important part of Tengda Life App; it represents Tengda Corporation’s healthy, environmentally-friendly, and exquisite life philosophy!

“Healthy refers to the fresh ingredients of Fish-Catching Take-Out. We use less oil and salt and make the dishes as close to home-cooked food as possible while taking nutrition and deliciousness into account.

“Environmentally-friendly here refers to the concept of using recyclables for Fish-Catching Take-Out. All tableware is recycled, cleaned, and disinfected in a unified manner to reduce the damage of plastic waste to the environment. A special microbial waste processor is used to treat food waste and turn it into fertilizer.

“Exquisite is referring to Fish-Catching Take-Out being committed to providing customers with a high-end dining experience. We cooperated with the nameless restaurants to launch the Food Harmony brand to get rid of the inherent impression that takeaways are inferior and cheap.

“In addition, we also have special muscle mass increasing meals, nutritious meals, and fat reducing meals...”

Rui Yuchen spoke with gusto in front of the camera. He was completely familiar with these contents. Fish-Catching Take-Out had contained many philosophical ideals from Boss Pei since its inception.

Rui Yuchen discussed these with content many times with Lin Canrong as the person-in-charge of Fish-Catching Take-Out. He had a deeper understanding of Boss Pei’s philosophy when he provided fitness meals to Deposit Fitness gym.

Tengda Life App has integrated all these contents now, which could be introduced in front of the camera!

The chopsticks in Pei Qian’s hand stopped moving as he listened. He might have his back on Rui Yuchen and the journalist, but a question mark still appeared slowly above his head.

Tengda Life App? What was that?

[1] This refers to Food and Beverage, generally a reference to industries dealing with food.
