It is very troublesome to open a traditional gym. The key is sales and personal training talents, which are not easy to find.
If the gym's sales are not strong, it cannot get people to apply for cards, and the trainers have no muscles, leaving an unreliable first impression on customers, then the gym will probably lose money even if it opens.
But Star Bird Fitness is different. It takes a different route. The gym is full of smart fitness clothes racks and aerobic equipment. The daily training schedule is arranged by "Fitness Battle", and sales and personal training can all be cut off.
You only need to retain positions similar to "network management" and "front desk", and hire at most three or four professional fitness coaches to answer questions on site.
This kind of personnel training is much simpler than the traditional model.
Moreover, after cutting off these personnel costs, the gym's expenses have also been reduced a lot. The various charging models such as hourly charging and monthly charging are very flexible. There is not as much revenue pressure as traditional gyms, and the fees can be slightly reduced.
This "lightweight fitness model" is very popular with some young people and office workers.
In the past few days, Li Shi and other investors have been purchasing large quantities of Jixiang Garden Community and surrounding properties in the name of the company.
Che Rong, on the other hand, is working hard on the expansion of Xingniao Fitness and the opening of branches.
Everything is progressing in an orderly manner.

Friday, July 6th.
Pei Qian is checking reports from various departments in his office.
"Yuanmeng Venture Capital's investment in Star Bird Fitness has been completed, and He Desheng's work is still reliable."
"Well, He Desheng handled this matter quite covertly, which is good."
"As a gym, with the development of Star Bird Fitness, it should also be able to steal some of the managed gym market, right?"
"On the contrary, it's GOG..."
"This summer promotion has been going on for so long, what's the reaction from Zhidou Company?!"
Pei Qian spent a long time looking through the reports from Tengda Game Department, and even from Shanyang Games, but he couldn't find any information about Xia Chu.
This shows that there have been no problems in the summer promotion activities so far, and everything is being carried out smoothly according to the original plan.
But there is no problem, that is the biggest problem!
Is this what Zhidou Company is doing?
For this summer promotion event, Pei Qian carefully prepared, bargained with the system, and considered the psychological bottom line of Zhidou Company, and finally came up with a promotion plan that was friendly to everyone.
As a result, when Zhidou Company’s summer sales event started on June 26, they actually went ahead with Tengda’s 30 to 50% discount and got a 40% discount.
Disappointed, Pei Qian decided to wait.
What if there is no consensus within the company and further discussion is needed?
As a result, I waited and waited until today.
Seeing that more than a week has passed since the summer promotion event, and it will end next Wednesday, Pei Qian can't sit still.
When will Zhidou Company come to burn money with me?
I can’t wait any longer!
"Hey, looking at the situation of Zhidou Company, I'm afraid there won't be much profit to be squeezed out in the short term."
"Forget it, let them take care of it for a while, forget it this time, and spend money with them next cycle."
Seeing that there was no movement at all at Zhidou Company, Pei Qian felt that he could not go on like this.
Even if Zhidou Company doesn’t respond, GOG’s summer sales promotion will have to enter the next stage.
Although Zhidou Company is now dead and no longer reacts to any stimulation, Pei Qian still has to continue spending money in order to settle the bill.
In order to take care of the fragile soul of Zhidou Company, Pei Qian decided not to go too far in the first phase of the summer promotion activities, leaving some room for it.
It is now full of activities.
If Zhidou Company doesn’t follow suit this time, then it won’t. Anyway, we are all in a good place, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Pei Qian quickly decided on a promotional plan for the second half of the summer promotion.
Looking at the plan, Pei Qian sighed silently.
Wow, it looks so hopeless.
It's like making an appointment with someone to fight in the ring, but being rejected by the opponent. I can only helplessly and furiously put all the energy I've been praising for three days on the sandbag.
In the mountains and rivers, it’s hard to find a true friend!
…
…
July 8, Sunday.
Modu High-Speed Railway Station.
"Mr. Zhao, there's no need to send him off. Let's go back. It's not my first time going to Jingzhou." Eric said goodbye to Zhao Xuming while carrying his suitcase.
Zhao Xuming was still a little sentimental: "But when you come back, you will have to settle in Shanghai and fly directly to Europe. Then there will be no chance to meet."
"Although what you said is quite serious, but... I think this is probably a routine debriefing, and you may be worrying too much."
Eric shook his head: "I have a hunch and I know very well what the senior officials think."
"If you ask me to go back before the summer promotion event is over, nothing good will happen."
Zhao Xuming said angrily: "If you ask me, Mr. Pei's second phase of summer promotion activities updated on Friday is definitely premeditated! This is a plan to attack the heart! It's like after winning, you have to use up all the cannonballs as a release."
Fireworks, show off your power!"
Eric sighed: "What can we do?"
There is nothing Eric can do about this summer promotion.
Although he also wanted to burn money with Mr. Pei, and the Zhidou Company was fine with it, the Dayak Group was no longer able to accept it.
This time Eric is not flying to Los Angeles to meet with the executives of Zhidou Company, but flying to Europe to meet with the executives of Dayak Group. There is an essential difference between the two.
Although he didn't say what the specific matter was, hurriedly bypassing other senior executives of Zhidou Company to summon Eric during the summer sales promotion. No matter how you think about it, it is not a very positive signal.
As both the heads of the Greater China Region, Eric and Chretien are fundamentally different.
Chretien was originally one of the core designers of Finger Company, but Eric was originally a senior executive in the media business of Dayak Group.
When Eric first came to be the person in charge of the Greater China Region, Dayak Group rejected the person originally selected by the company to be the person in charge of the Greater China Region and parachuted in directly.
Although Eric needs to report to the senior management of Zhidou Company in his daily work, he should obviously work for Dayak Group.
Eric had a hunch that maybe he would have a chance to return to the Magic City, but even if he came back, I'm afraid it wouldn't be the same situation now.
So he planned to go to Jingzhou again before leaving. It would be best if he could meet Mr. Pei. If not, he could at least see what Jingzhou is like now.
Judging from online discussions, Tengda's various industries are rapidly expanding outwards. Now they are no longer satisfied with Jingzhou or even Handong Province. Various physical industries have begun to take root in first-tier cities such as Imperial Capital and Magic Capital.
.
Even Modu has opened some branches of Moyu Internet cafes, Moyu takeaways and managed gyms.
So, what will the scene be like in Jingzhou, where Tenda’s headquarters is located?
After waving goodbye to Zhao Xuming, Eric walked into the high-speed rail station.
Zhao Xuming got on the car with a melancholy look on his face.
"Hey, it's actually pretty good to work with Eric. At least he will take the blame for everything."
"I hope we don't change the person in charge. Although ioi's current revenue is far from reaching expectations, at least it is still making money."
Zhao Xuming sighed. He also knew that he had nothing to say about such things. Who knows what the top people at the Dayak Group were thinking.
…
…
July 9, Monday.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, Pei Qian was still asleep when his cell phone rang.
I took a look at the caller ID and saw that it was an unfamiliar number, and it belonged to Shanghai.
Pei Qian answered the phone: "Hello?"
A foreigner's voice with a slight accent came from the phone: "Mr. Pei, it's really not easy to get your phone number..."
Pei Qian was stunned for a moment, but then recalled the voice.
Eric!
His voice was not very recognizable, but after all, he was a foreigner with an accent, and Pei Qian knew very few foreigners who could speak Chinese, so he immediately remembered it.
Upon hearing Eric's voice, Pei Qian instinctively felt a little excited.
Could it be that...
Are you going to spend money with me?
Are you here to declare a challenge?
I looked at the date and saw that it’s only July 9th. There are still three days before the summer sale ends on July 11th. Although there is only one tail left, I still welcome you if you are willing to spend money along with me!
Pei Qian couldn't help but beam with joy: "So it's you, Brother Ai! Why did you remember to call me today?"
Eric corrected somewhat speechlessly: "I didn't think about it today. I arrived in Jingzhou yesterday and have always wanted to call you."
"As a result, I asked several Tengda employees, and they all said they don't work on weekends and can't disturb your rest. They just refused to give me your phone number."
"I waited until work time this morning to ask for your phone number."
"Fortunately, the flight I booked was for after 8 o'clock tonight, otherwise I would have had to change my ticket just to see you."
"I have to take the high-speed train back to Shanghai at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. There are still a few hours left. Mr. Pei, can I meet you?"
Pei Qian was a little embarrassed.
Look what's going on!
If I had known you were here yesterday, I would have given up my time playing games at home to meet you yesterday.
Now there are only a few hours left for the fuss. It’s such a rush, and it’s too late to even have a good meal.
"Okay, then let's meet directly at the Ming Mansion family banquet. I'll treat you to lunch."
It's a pity. If it were Sunday, I could have had a meal at an unknown restaurant. Although Eric didn't have a big appetite, he should have been able to eat a few large lobsters.
But today, there are no reservations on Monday, so I can only go to Mr. Li's restaurant to have a quick meal.
Although he was still a little awake, after all, he was going to meet an old friend who was helping him burn money. Pei Qian still stubbornly climbed out of bed and washed himself.
His hair was a little messy, and Pei Qian was hesitant to wash his hair at first, but after thinking about it, he was going to see Eric anyway, so what did it matter whether he washed his hair or not.
Everyone has been waiting all day, so it would be better to go there early.
