Chapter 1518: The Framework Of The Thesis!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Pei Qian’s previous thesis t.i.tle was: The Creation and Transmission Theory of popular literary works in the online age.
This question might have been limited by the keywords ‘online age’ and ‘popular literacy works’ but it still seemed huge. It was still a theme that undergraduates could not control.
However… if he were to write a thesis in a serious manner, Pei Qian was afraid that what he wrote might be worse.
That was because his basic foundation was really not solid. Some details’ theories could only be said to be fragmented. The more detailed he wrote, the easier it would be to show his weaknesses.
On the other hand, such a huge and empty question was more conducive to his performance.
Pei Qian felt that he should be able to protect his graduation certificate and image after writing this thesis considering his halo blessing, Prof Kong’s guidance, and the low requirements of his undergraduate thesis.
It would not be worth it if he were to destroy Boss Pei’s character and cause a social death for the sake of graduation certificate.
As for the results of Pei Qian’s seclusion… they were actually quite promising.
At the very least, this thesis was no longer just a new folder and t.i.tle. Instead, it had a clearer general direction.
Pei Qian thought about it. He had to write this thesis from these directions.
First, he a.n.a.lyzed the difficulties faced by literary works in the online age. They were: the division between traditional artistic works and ordinary people, the invasion of Western cultural works, the impact of fast food and entertainment models.
This would raise the need to study the creation and transmission theory of popular literary works in the online age.
Second, based on this dilemma, he proposed the necessary factors for the creation and transmission of popular literary works in the online age.
This could also be simply summarized into three points: the connotation of traditional cultural foundation and the demands of ordinary people’s culture. The era, novelty, and even foresight of the work itself, the tight and eye-catching expression and structure.
Third, put forward the mission of the online age’s popular artistic works: promote positive value to spread in ordinary people, meet the spirit and entertainment needs of the people, explore the theoretical rules of artistic creation in the new era, and form guidance.
Lastly, he would go in three different directions from online literature, film and television works, and interactive game works. Through some specific cases, he would a.n.a.lyze the theoretical creative rules and form guidance.
In fact, after finalizing these general directions, Pei Qian realized that this article would definitely surpa.s.s it.
That was because undergraduates’ graduation thesis was basically around 8,000 words. Even though some schools or majors would require more than 10,000 words, the word count requirements for most undergraduates’ graduation thesis were not very high.
This was very reasonable. After all, undergraduates did not have much scientific research ability. 8,000 words was enough to talk about a small academic argument. There was no need for it to be so high. Everyone was diluting it crazily. The students and teachers were uncomfortable.
What’s more, this was a thesis, not online literature.
For some web novel authors who could be called Tentacled Beasts, 8,000 words would usually take three to four hours. However, the thesis had to be carefully crafted after all. They had to weigh every sentence and sentence. They could not use useless words and nonsense. Coupled with the citation of the
literature and various explanations, it could be said that every word was squeezed out through their brains.
However, Pei Qian still decided to follow this structure.
It was the same reason as before. If he wrote too little, he would be afraid of showing his weaknesses. He was also afraid that he would not be able to gather enough words.
What if he ended up writing a small thesis with five thousand words, but the thesis required eight thousand words? Wouldn’t he have to fill it up?
If he wrote more content, it would not be a problem to write 8,000 words. As for the details and citing doc.u.ments, Pei Qian did not need to worry. Someone would change them for him anyway.
The instructor would carry him first before handing him to Prof Kong, As an outstanding graduate who could stay in his alma mater as an instructor, Zhang We’’s level was also very outstanding. This matter was easily done. It would be foolproof if he handed him to Prof Kong later.
Even if the word count was slightly higher, it would not be a big deal.
Pei Qian followed this train of thought and wrote on. Needless to say, after he tied himself to the chair and tied his hands up, his efficiency really increased a lot.
Pei Qian felt an inexplicable sense of pride and satisfaction seeing the number of words in the thesis increase rapidly.
“Go into seclusion and give it your all!”
March 13th, Wednesday.
Pei Qian unbolted the seat belt on the ergonomic chair, took off the medical wrist guards on his hands, and then went to the toilet comfortably.
‘When he returned, he looked at the thesis and could not help but feel a little proud. “My progress is too fast. I’m really awesome!”
“Ican rest for a while. Based on my calculations, my thesis progress has reached this level in only three days. There’s no problem with completing the thesis smoothly!”
“Ihave to strike a balance between work and rest and take a break.”
“Yes, we can’t go overboard. We can’t install the game on the computer back, and we can’t tear the seal on the television and game machine. We should just… play the cell phone for a while.”
“Just playing for a while.”
Pei Qian knew very well that once the evil seal on the television and game machine was tom apart, he might not be able to paste it back in the future. Thus, he very carefully touched the long-lost cell phone.
In today’s society, everyone lowered their heads. There would be serious withdrawal reactions without cell phones. Ordinary people would find it difficult to withstand it.
Pei Qian relied on his great perseverance to only look at the cell phone less than ten times in the past three days. This was already a greater achievement than creating Tengda.
He took his cell phone and lay comfortably on the sofa.
Pei Qian planned to scan his cell phone casually, watch the news and videos, and then go back to continue fighting the thesis.
However, after reading the news online, Pei Qian was stunned.
“Tengda Corporation and the anti-Tengda Alliance are in the midst of an intense battle?”
“Tengda Corporation has gone all out and is gradually turning the situation around?”
“Fish-Catching Take-Out and Upwind Logistics are working closely together to create a brand called ‘selling bubble tea’
“A new video segment has been opened on Aili Island’s website. The heads of Tengda’s various departments have specially appeared to dismantle the opponent’s company’s business plan?”
“This…”
“How many things happened in the three days that I was in seclusion!”
It would have been better if he had not watched the news. However, once he did, Pei Qian was stunned.
Initially, his so-called ‘seclusion’ was just a form of ridicule. It was nothing more than cutting off the internet, not going out, and writing the thesis in peace.
Now, he realized that it seemed like he had really entered seclusion. He had the illusion that ‘a day above the sky, a thousand years in the world’!
How did so many things happen in just three days? It was ridiculous!
“Every time I let go, these people would come up with new tricks for me… F*ck!”
Pei Qian was speechless. It looked like he could not rest in seclusion. He had to worry about Tengda.
He sorted out the information carefully and roughly understood what had happened over the past three days.
Pei Qian had originally intended for Tengda to attack at will. Tengda would deal with any changes by remaining unchanged. No matter how the other party attacked or how they fought a price war, Tengda would ignore them first.
Let them have a taste first.
If they had started to burn money and engage in a price war, it might have scared them to death. The entire alliance might have collapsed without a fight.
After all, Pei Qian knew very well that such an alliance was a mob. He could not belittle their organization and discipline.
Pei Qian could use this opportunity to write a thesis. When the thesis was handed in next month, the companies that were against Tengda Alliance would also grab some market share and taste the benefits. At that time, they would take the bait.
Then, everyone would burn money to their heart’s content!
However, he did not expect the various departments to counterattack on their own!
Pei Qian was a little regretful. If he had told everyone that everything was in my plan before he went into seclusion, this might not have happened.
However, he did not say that.
The heads of the various departments could not find Pei Qian and could not ask Boss Pei to make the decision. They could only counterattack on their own.
What’s more, their counterattack was not unorganized. Instead, it was very targeted!
First, the various departments would work together to give priority to express delivery, take-out, rental, and other core industries.
‘That was because in the anti-Tengda alliance, Shengyun Corporation, Home Corporation, and Home Take-Out were the most active and most active.
‘The reason was very simple. These companies had the most intense conflict of interest with Tengda and were the most difficult to retreat.
‘They were all platform type companies. Take Shengyun Corporation for example. It was a life-and-death relations.h.i.+p with Upwind Logistics. As long as Upwind Logistics existed, Shengyun Corporation would not be able to eat and sleep well. It was impossible to lie down and earn money comfortably.
Therefore, Tengda’s corresponding industries were definitely the most pressured. The other departments had to transfuse blood, help, and withstand the greatest pressure.
‘The reason why Fish-Catching Take-Out and Upwind Logistics wanted to create a new milk tea brand, ‘selling milk tea’, was to make full use of their online points all over the country and use the profits of the milk tea to subsidize the price war.
What’s more, this name was quite interesting. It was selling bubble tea and used the words’ express delivery ‘and’ take-out ‘respectively.
Secondly, choosing the pushover in this league as the first breakthrough point!
Delivery, take-out, rental, and other fields might be very intense but it was obviously not suitable as the main direction and breakthrough point.
That was because these companies were hardcore and difficult to deal with.
Take Shengyun Corporation for example. Would they retreat even if Tengda’s various departments gathered their strength to hurt them?
He could not.
‘That was because Shengyun Corporation knew very well that once they retreated, the entire alliance against Tengda might collapse. At that time, this alliance would definitely not be established. Shengyun Corporation would be completely finished.
Therefore, they would grit their teeth and persevere no matter how much losses they suffered.
Since that was the case, he had to focus on the main direction and breakthrough point on other companies to find soft persimmon that were not firm and easy to grasp.
Haoxiang fitness was the best breakthrough point.
This was a large chain gym in the country, but its market share was slightly inferior to Deposit Fitness, much less the market share of Deposit Fitness and Star Bird Fitness.
That was because the domestic gyms were generally more dispersed. Many gyms could only deepen into small areas and had not formed large chain gyms.
However, in this alliance, Hao Shuang fitness was a rather important part because they had to go directly to Deposit Fitness.
It would be good news for Tengda if they could make it withdraw.
