Pei Qian was not sure whether these nearby stores were targeting Moyu Internet cafes when they joined forces to carry out promotional activities. After all, there was no evidence in this matter, and one could not be accused of innocence out of thin air.
What if they just happen to get together and do some regular promotional activities?
Pei Qian couldn't be sure whether Mr. Li was behind it or not, and there was no evidence at all.
But what is certain is that Mr. Li must have regarded this as a good opportunity and directly benefited from this incident.
This seems a bit hasty and careless.
But we can't say that Mr. Li is stupid, because this is probably a combination of soft and hard tactics.
On the one hand, Mr. Li will not directly admit that he is targeting Moyu Internet cafes. Instead, he extends an olive branch in a friendly manner, pretending that everyone is making money, but does not overly arouse the hatred of Moyu Internet cafes. This is to be soft.
;
On the other hand, Mr. Li is also hinting to Pei Qian, if you continue to be stubborn, we will waste each other's lives. I will lower the price and you will have no customers. So what if you know that I am causing trouble? In the face of huge losses,
Come on, don't you still have to obey me? This is to force you.
If it were someone else, desperate, they might actually accept his investment.
But Pei Qian is completely different.
If you are willing to continue burning money to help me create losses, then I have to thank you!
Pei Qian originally wanted to refuse directly, but then he thought about it and it seemed wrong.
Since Mr. Li likes to help others, shouldn't he cooperate with him?
If he refuses outright again, Mr. Li may give up soon. After all, he is also the boss of an investment company and has many things to do. It is impossible for him to fight with Moyu Internet Cafe all day long.
Once Mr. Li's attention is no longer here, the surrounding shops will probably not continue to burn money, and the traffic of Moyu Internet Cafe will probably return to normal levels...
Then there is no way to lose so much money!
Pei Qian smiled slightly and thought about it.
"Lao Ma, do you really think that Mr. Li is doing this for our own good? Is he here for charity?"
"If you think about it carefully, the surrounding stores jointly held activities, and there was really no one behind them?"
Pei Qian said a few simple words to wake Ma Yang up.
Of course, this cannot be regarded as a wake-up call. Ma Yang is a person who is very easy to be fooled, and when he is fooled by two people one after another, the person who speaks last obviously has an absolute advantage.
Pei Qian said a few words with embarrassment and deliberately exaggerated the dangers of being acquired, which instantly changed Ma Yang's perspective.
"Damn it! It turns out that Mr. Li has such evil intentions!"
"I will reject him immediately!"
Pei Qian: "No need. If you refuse directly, he will get angry and fight to the death with us, which is inappropriate."
"You tell him that I am very worried about the loss now. I originally didn't want to accept investment, but I was a little shaken and I am still in a dilemma. As long as the Internet cafe can continue to lose money, maybe I will change my mind..."
Ma Yang's voice was a little hesitant: "Brother Qian, what do you mean is that we continue to lose money like this? This is not good for us, right? We can't do it, right?"
Pei Qian smiled slightly: "If we lose, won't they?"
"These stores are losing money with us. We are at least one behind the other. What are we afraid of?"
"Besides, their continuous burning of money has stimulated many potential customers nearby, and even attracted people from other areas of Jingzhou City to come here to spend money."
"In the long run, it will promote the business environment here, and we will not lose money at all."
Ma Yang suddenly realized: "That's it! I understand Brother Qian!"
"Very good, then just go and tell Mr. Li..."
After hanging up the phone, Pei Qian smiled slightly.
Mr. Li, you deceived Ma Yang, you should be very proud of your words, right?
In fact, you are wrong. Anyone can fool him...
You can fool as much as you want, I'll just come back after I fool you.
What Pei Qian said to deceive Ma Yang was either true or false, especially the one about "promoting the nearby business environment", which was pure nonsense.
The formation of the business environment is the result of the combined effect of many factors. It is impossible to think about how the business environment could be changed just because a few stores conduct promotions.
But using this reason to deceive Ma Yang is more than enough.
As long as he successfully captures Mr. Li and lets surrounding stores continue to offer promotions, Moyu Internet Cafe can continue to lose money. How could Pei Qian let go of such a thing that benefits others at the expense of others?
…
After hanging up the phone, Ma Yang rubbed his long face vigorously to get himself into the mood quickly.
Ma Yang felt angry when he thought about being deceived by Mr. Li just now.
Fortunately, my brother is smart, otherwise I would have been tricked by you!
Although Ma Yang is not an actor, but when he thinks that Mr. Li is deliberately trying to destroy his job, he must not let this grudge go.
Turn anger into acting!
Returning to the table again, Ma Yang instantly put on a smile.
"Mr. Li, I just called Mr. Pei and tried to find out what he meant from the side."
"He is indeed troubled by the recent losses, but he is not willing to let outsiders intervene. He said that he will continue to see it for another month. If there is no improvement by then, he will think of other ways."
Li Shi nodded slightly.
This was exactly what he expected.
According to his estimation, Mr. Pei is obviously a very stubborn person. If he changes his mind because of a few words from his subordinate, then there is something wrong.
a month...
Continuing to burn money for a month is a little hurt, but it is still within the acceptable range.
There was a little pain in his heart, but he couldn't show it. After all, Ma Yang didn't seem to know that it was his own instruction behind the joint promotion of the surrounding merchants.
Mr. Pei may have noticed it, but he probably didn't tell Ma Yang. After all, there was no evidence, and Mr. Pei probably wanted to avoid talking nonsense.
In short, as long as the Moyu Internet Cafe can be successfully acquired in the end, the money burned will definitely be earned back.
Thinking of this, Li Shi smiled lightly.
"Of course, I'm not in a hurry at all. Mr. Ma, you don't have to keep urging Mr. Pei. It's not sweet to be too forceful. Mr. Pei still has to figure this out on his own."
"but……"
"I'm more worried about you. The losses are huge in one month. What if you can't hold on first?"
"I think Mr. Ma, you can wait a week and try it again. Maybe Mr. Pei will change his mind by then."
"Okay." Ma Yang nodded and said to the bartender, "One more margarita, and I'll treat Mr. Li to a drink!"
…
…
Tenda Network Technology Co., Ltd.
Pei Qian hasn't come to the company much these days because of the Internet cafe and exams. Today, he made a whim and made a inspection.
The settlement date is getting closer and closer, and Pei Qian is having a hard time taking care of both.
Fortunately, the DLC for several Tenda games has been launched. Except for the previous official changes in the share distribution, there have been no other problems for the time being, so you can rest assured.
Thinking of the current situation of Moyu Internet Cafe, Pei Qian couldn't help but feel good and went to his office leisurely.
In the office area, Lu Mingliang and Bao Xu were discussing quietly.
"Mr. Pei rarely comes to the company recently. Is he busy with other things?"
"I heard that the situation at Moyu Internet Cafe is not optimistic. I guess I am busy with things there."
"Looking at Mr. Pei's expression, the problem shouldn't be serious."
"That's not necessarily the case. You know Mr. Pei's character. He can't express his emotions or anger. Maybe the problem is serious, but Mr. Pei didn't show it."
"Then... do you want to report to President Pei about the "Sea Fortress"? Shouldn't it distract him?"
Bao Xu thought for a while: "Compared with the matter of Moyu Internet Cafe, this matter does not seem to be so urgent. It can be observed for a few more days."
"What's more, it is expected that the account price on the trading platform will be driven up. The number of active players and recharges in the game have been increasing in the past few days. This is also a good thing. There is no need to report it specifically."
Lu Mingliang nodded: "That's right. Let's wait until Mr. Pei has time before reporting to him."
