After Pei Qian finished his "Shi·He" work meal, he wrapped himself in a small blanket in the office and squinted for a while. He felt that if he straightened out the situation of various departments in the afternoon, he would be able to leave.
Seeing that there is only one month left before settlement, the next step is a tough battle.
Now... I have to recuperate my energy a little. How can I burn money well if I don’t have energy?
However, not long after Pei Qian woke up, his cell phone rang.
It was Zhang Yahui, the person in charge of the snack market.
"Mr. Pei, I have something to report to you. So far, all the preliminary preparations for the snack market have finally been completed. We were originally scheduled to officially open the business the day after tomorrow."
"I know you are very busy, so I haven't asked for much advice on things here. We are about to start business now. Do you want to come over and have a look and give me some guidance? This will save you any mistakes."
Pei Qian was planning to get off work on time at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. After listening to Zhang Yahui's words, he could only sigh silently.
Hey, it looks like I have to work overtime again today.
Not long after the snack market project was established, Pei Qian completely took over as the shopkeeper and had no involvement at all.
On the one hand, the reason is that he really has too many things at hand and has no time or energy to pay attention; but the more important reason is that he feels that this project is not a serious problem.
Because the original purpose of this snack market was to poach people from the cold noodle girl...
Qi Yan, the previous person in charge of Cold Noodle Girl, carried out a series of operations in the imperial capital, including organizing street food stall food competitions and hiring outstanding stall owners as consultants. She was about to make Cold Noodle Girl popular again.
It would be terrible if the cold-faced girl became popular.
Because Cold Noodle Girl is a fast food model, it can be operated as a chain. If one store becomes popular, Qi Yan will definitely continue to open more branches. Once this model takes off, the money will be too much!
Pei Qian doesn't want to repeat the tragedy of brick-and-mortar stores like Moyu Internet Cafe and Moyu Takeaway.
Therefore, he made a quick decision and set up a snack market, poaching all the outstanding stall owners from the cold noodle girl.
In this way, without these excellent stall owners in the cold noodle shop, the improvement of taste will be very slow, and the snack market cannot establish a chain model, so there is no need to worry too much about making money.
After all, no matter how awesome the stall owner is, the number of customers he receives every day is limited. The snack market is only such a big place, no matter how popular it is, can it make a huge difference?
Therefore, Pei Qian feels that this project is still stable.
The so-called stable does not mean that it will not be popular, but that it will be like an unknown restaurant. Even if it becomes popular, it will not make a lot of money, which is completely within the acceptable range.
Although I have always been a hands-off shopkeeper, now that it is about to open, I still have to go and take a look.
Don't be afraid of ten thousand in everything, just be afraid of the unexpected. It won't take much time to go and take a look.
Once problems are discovered, Zhang Yahui and others can be asked to seize the time to rectify them before the official business begins.
If possible, Pei Qian wouldn't mind delaying the opening of the snack market for a week or two. Anyway, there is still more than a month until settlement, and the delay will have no impact, and he can save a week or two of money.
After agreeing to Zhang Yahui, Pei Qian drank a cup of coffee to refresh himself, and then took the car straight to the snack market.
…
The journey to the old industrial area is not very far, but there is a slight traffic jam, so it takes about forty minutes to get there.
Although the driver Xiao Sun's driving skills were very good, the stop-and-go traffic jam along the way still made Pei Qian a little dizzy.
After getting off the car and taking a breath of fresh air, I finally calmed down.
"So, a developed city cannot live without a subway!"
Pei Qian couldn't help but sigh.
As the capital of Handong Province and a second-tier city, Jingzhou currently only has a few subway lines, which connect key locations with the largest flow of people, such as high-speed rail stations and the core business district near the Yuanda Tiandi shopping mall.
However, the current subway coverage is still far from enough, and buses are still the main mode of public transportation.
In recent years, the economy of Jingzhou and even the whole country has been growing rapidly, the number of private cars has also increased, and the city has naturally become more and more congested.
At present, there are no number restrictions in Jingzhou, but if the current trend continues, it may not be far away.
In order to ease the traffic situation, Jingzhou is also planning to build new viaducts and more subway lines.
More than a year ago, Jingzhou also announced a batch of subway lines. Although the efficiency from demolition to construction is very high, no matter how efficient it is, these subway lines still have a long way to go before they are completed.
Moreover, these subway lines have basically nothing to do with Pei Qian.
Because Pei Qian is such a thief, when choosing locations for physical stores and other various projects, he basically avoids subway lines intentionally or unintentionally.
Of course, there is no choice about the location of the GPL league. There are only a few large shopping malls in Jingzhou, and the only one suitable for long-term competition venues is the multi-functional hall of Yuanda Tiandi.
But none of this is a big deal. Anyway, as long as a large project like the Sloth Apartment, which involves buying a house, can stay away from the current Jingzhou subway line planning, then there will be no problem.
Pei Qian walked into the snack market while thinking about these.
However, after taking only two steps, Pei Qian was shocked by the sight in front of him.
This place...is a snack market?
Pei Qian has never been to this place before, but he heard that the snack market is located at a farmer's market in the old industrial area.
Pei Qian felt relieved as soon as he heard the keywords "old industrial area" and "farmer's market".
I can just imagine what the situation is like!
It must be like the vegetable markets in the suburbs of third- and fourth-tier cities or in small counties. They are dirty, messy and poor, and maybe there are vegetable leaves all over the floor.
Of course, just to be on the safe side, Pei Qian also searched the Internet for pictures of this farmer's market.
Judging from the pictures, the situation of this place was slightly better than he expected. It was relatively neat and hygienic, but it was nothing more than a vegetable market.
Therefore, Pei Qian was completely relieved.
He thought, even if Liang Qingfan was an architect and could turn decay into magic, how magical would it be?
When he looked up after getting off the car, Pei Qian almost thought he was in the wrong place.
Is the current state of the snack market similar to that of the previous wet market?
The whole thing is beyond recognition!
A large number of neon lights composed of contrasting cold and warm colors cover the outer wall, and a large number of cyberpunk-style designs make the entire snack market seem to be independent from the entire Jingzhou. Stepping through this street, it seems that you have entered another world.
world.
Various billboards emit red and green lights, intricate and layered, making the best use of the space above.
However, because it is daytime and the sky is only slightly gloomy and not cloudy or rainy, the visual impact of these lights is not very strong.
But through the current situation, I can also imagine what the scene will be like at night.
The feeling of cyberpunk is absolutely amazing!
Moreover, this kind of setting gave Pei Qian a strong sense of déjà vu.
Where does this feeling of déjà vu come from...
Pei Qian recalled it carefully and quickly remembered it.
It’s the feeling of “Better Tomorrow”!
There are many shop names here, as well as the style of the signboards, which are all based on the plot scenes in "Better Tomorrow" when the male and female protagonists come to the earthly world to eat. Although the structure is not exactly the same, it still gives a good impression.
People have an inexplicable sense of déjà vu, as if they have seen this place before!
These are not the most extreme.
The most outrageous thing is that at the entrance of this snack market, there is a model of a sports car full of technology. I don’t know where it was ordered from. The workmanship is very detailed. You can even open the door and sit in and take pictures.
There are some large-scale electronic toy factories in China that specialize in making these static equipment, which can be copied from sports cars to tanks, and specialize in supplying some amusement park projects.
If you have higher requirements, such as strict requirements on the entire model's design, exterior and interior materials, you can also go overseas to customize it.
The price of these big toys is not cheap, ranging from 200,000 to 500,000. After all, if they are customized from overseas, they have to be shipped back by air.
Although this model cannot be driven, its cost should be more expensive than some entry-level luxury family car brands.
However, this amount of money is nothing compared to the funds invested in the entire snack market.
…
Zhang Yahui and Liang Qingfan heard that Mr. Pei was coming and were already waiting at the door in advance.
Zhang Yahui asked in a low voice: "Hey, why didn't Brother Bao come today? Wasn't he always here before?"
During this period of time, Bao Xu was very busy and worried about this snack market.
The division of labor between the three of them is very clear: Liang Qingfan is responsible for the layout and general style decoration of the entire snack market; Zhang Yahui is responsible for contacting the stall owners, helping them improve the taste of snacks, allowing them to prepare in advance, and other communication.
Coordination work; Bao Xu is responsible for improving the operation mechanism of the entire snack market and putting forward various needs.
Zhang Yahui and Liang Qingfan agreed that it was Bao Xu who injected soul into the entire snack market with his game design concepts.
Bao Xu has put forward many very bold ideas, many of which are really wild and imaginative, allowing customers to enjoy delicious food in the snack market while also having a certain amount of fun.
Bao Xu's contribution is so great, it is a pity that President Pei came to inspect but he was not there.
Liang Qingfan said: "In my opinion, Bao Xu doesn't intend to take credit from us."
"I discovered when I traveled with him before that he is actually a very reserved and low-key person."
"I'm not very interested in money, and I'm not very interested in job promotion. Maybe my only two interests are playing games and traveling."
"Although he keeps saying that he doesn't like traveling at all, can someone who doesn't like traveling travel out five times and still maintain such enthusiasm and vitality?"
