Although Mr. Pei's money-losing plans have always failed to go smoothly so far, one thing is that with his unremitting efforts, the living standards of himself and the people of Jingzhou have indeed improved a lot.
If you buy something online, headwind logistics will deliver it to your door;
If you want to eat takeout, Moyu Takeout has healthy and nutritious dishes;
Not to mention the outstanding contribution Moyu Internet Cafe has made in improving the Internet environment.
Moyu Takeout has been operating stably for more than four months now and is still in a state of loss.
Pei Qian is very satisfied with this point.
It's a pity that Moyu's takeout stall is not big enough. Although it has been losing money steadily, it is not big enough.
After waiting for more than twenty minutes, the meal arrived.
The Moyu Internet Cafe Handong University Store is quite close to where Pei Qian lives, so the food delivery is relatively fast.
Pei Qian ate while thinking about what to do next.
Now it seems that the pressure to spend money is quite high. In addition to the regular expenses, Pei Qian has to find other ways to continue spending money.
Looking at the exquisite tableware and familiar home-cooked dishes in front of him, Pei Qian suddenly felt that he could let takeout take on more of the burden of spending money?
After all, Moyu Takeaway has won Mr. Pei’s trust with its stable losses.
"If that doesn't work, why don't you just drink some poison to quench your thirst?"
Pei Qian thought about it and decided to talk about the next cycle in the next cycle.
First of all, you must ensure that you are in a loss when you settle at the end of this month. After all, this is not just a matter of money, but also related to the special rewards given by the system.
As for what to do in the next cycle to earn back the capital with profits...
Then wait until the next cycle to develop more industries that burn money quickly.
In short, focus on the present first!
Thinking of this, Pei Qian took out his phone and looked at his calendar.
Today is October 13th. Until October 24th, you can continue to invest money in Moyu Internet Cafe and Dongfeng Logistics, but not on the 24th.
If you want to spend money in the last week, you have to rely on your own employees.
Now Tenda can be considered a big business. In the game business, including the Dingmin Chinese website and the TPDb website, there are more than 100 employees. There are more than 40 employees at Changyang Games. There are more than 100 employees at Moyu Internet Cafe. The express delivery of Niefeng Logistics
There must be about 600 to 700 people from the delivery boy and Moyu Takeaway.
Of course, different industries must be treated differently, and it is impossible to give the same benefits to employees in core departments like Tenda Games and courier guys.
If everyone has more hair, the pressure on Mr. Pei will be less.
But these benefits are also limited. What if you still can’t spend them all?
Pei Qian thought for a while, then he could only drink poison to quench his thirst and hold a reward event!
Pei Qian couldn't use this method during the last settlement, mainly because Mr. Pei's only real business at that time was Moyu Internet Cafe, and Moyu Internet Cafe exploded inexplicably before the settlement, which caught him off guard and was unable to resist.
But this time the money came earlier, and Pei Qian still had plenty of time to react.
Pei Qian looked at the time and fixed his gaze on October 24th.
1024 is Programmers’ Day, although this is not yet common.
Just like November 11th, people still generally regard it as "Singles' Day" rather than "hand-buying day".
Pei Qian won't be able to catch up to Double Eleven in the next cycle, but 1024 is still in time.
Using this day to hold a week's worth of discounts and rewards, so that certain industries can work harder to make more losses, wouldn't it be able to greatly reduce Mr. Pei's pressure?
Thinking of this, Pei Qian felt that his future was a little brighter, and he quickly thought about the properties he had on hand.
The specific industries to choose need to be carefully considered.
Games cannot be discounted because games have no cost. Reducing prices and offering discounts will definitely make more money, which is tantamount to suicide.
The ultimate goal is not promotion or popularity, but spending money unexpectedly.
So Pei Qian thought about it and decided that Moyu Internet Cafe and Headwind Logistics were the most suitable for this.
Especially Headwind Logistics, which is already losing money due to labor costs. If each Headwind Station delivers more express items during this period and pays more performance-based wages to couriers, it will not be possible to spend more money.
A lot of money?
Moreover, even if you lose money, as long as it is controlled within a certain limit and can effectively improve your reputation, the system will acquiesce to this behavior.
After some simple testing of the system, Pei Qian quickly determined a subsidy plan for the 1024 Programmers' Day.
The first is the subsidy for Moyu takeout, with certain discounts on all dishes and no delivery fees.
Secondly, there are subsidies for headwind logistics.
At present, Pei Qian has opened a total of nearly 200 headwind stations, and it is expected that another forty or fifty will be added before the 24th, covering most areas in Jingzhou City.
At that time, those who use these headwind stations to send goods will receive a reduction in express delivery fees, which are all subsidized by Pei Qian out of his own pocket.
At the same time, all door-to-door express parcels originally required a commission. During the event, this commission will be cancelled, attracting more couriers to hand over express parcels to Headwind Express for delivery.
You can also spend a lot of money by purchasing some small gifts together and delivering them to your door with express delivery.
Everyone else works as a middleman to earn the price difference, but only Pei always acts as a middleman and pays the price difference.
Recently, some simple promotions have been started, and the event lasts from October 24th to October 31st.
Pei Qian didn't dare to promote it too high-profile. Although it cost a lot, it was also risky, so he couldn't do it randomly.
Pei Qian very wisely set the date of salary payment at the end of each month, so that a large amount of employee funds can be issued before settlement and the system funds can be reduced as much as possible.
During the event, Pei Qian will also increase performance pay for all delivery boys and couriers. For each additional delivery or delivery, he will receive additional bonuses.
Although it is not a lot to spread to each person, after all, there are so many headwind stations in Jingzhou City and so many employees, so a lot of money can be spent at once.
As for the consequences...
Obviously, during the 1024 Programmer Festival, there will be a certain increase in the number of users of Moyu Takeout and Headwind Logistics. However, these two industries have always been losing money. The larger the scale, the more losses there will be, so don’t worry too much.
Moreover, even if you make money, it will be a matter of the next cycle.
This is also the reason why Pei Qian dare not rashly touch other industries. He cannot drastically reduce the price of Internet cafes or make them free, nor can he give discounts to games, because the risks and side effects of doing so are too great.
Pei Qian made a rough plan and felt that this matter was very promising, so he planned to call Lu Mingliang and Ma Yang, hoping to call them together to briefly discuss the matter.
Soon, Lu Mingliang's call came through.
"Do you have time today? Come to the Handong University store of Moyu Internet Cafe. I have a promotional event here about Moyu Internet Cafe and Headwind Logistics."
Lu Mingliang was stunned: "Mr. Pei, I'm right here at the Handong University Store."
Pei Qian: "Ah?"
"What are you doing there?"
Lu Mingliang: "Mr. Ma asked me to come here. We are discussing the details of the installation business."
Pei Qian: "???"
I was a little confused for a moment.
What is this? What is the installation business?
"Then wait a moment, I'll be there right away!"
Pei Qian quickly dressed up, wrapped himself tightly in a thick coat and scarf, and prepared to go out.
Fortunately, the cold is not serious. It got better after a day of rest yesterday. The weather is good today, the sun is very bright, and there is no wind. It should be fine if I go out.
Besides, at this critical juncture, how can Xiao Chao stop Mr. Pei’s spending plan!
I made a phone call and the company's car came to pick me up quickly.
…
Moyu Internet Cafe Handong University Store.
Not long after the phone call with Lu Mingliang, Pei Qian arrived.
Seeing Mr. Pei wrapped up tightly, the three of them were a little confused.
"Mr. Pei, what are you..." Lu Mingliang remembered that you weren't like this the last time you saw Mr. Pei?
Pei Qian pushed the scarf down slightly and said with a nasal voice: "I have a little cold."
"Brother Qian, you have a cold and you haven't taken good care of yourself! I have to criticize you for this. You can't just be busy with work and pay too little attention to your health!" Ma Yang called to the waiter next to him, "Hurry up and give Brother Qian a cup of hot food.
water."
Pei Qian: "...No, I'm going to vomit after drinking the hot water. Give me some coffee."
Pei Qian looked at the host on the table and keenly saw the difference between it and the previous Moyu Internet Cafe host.
There is a glowing sign on it!
Pei Qian instantly felt that this matter was not simple.
Okay, you three are secretly doing something secretly again! Fortunately, I found out in time!
Pei Qian was speechless. If I hadn't been dragging my body and still thinking about the great loss, I might have been fooled again!
Ma Yang chuckled: "Brother Qian, I originally planned to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect you to find out."
"This time Zhang Yuan and I are considering starting a custom assembly and console business by relying on Moyu Internet Cafe and Headwind Logistics..."
Ma Yang briefly introduced the past and present life of the ROF brand.
In short, "Return to the Shore" has brought many tycoons to Internet cafes who have high requirements for computer configurations. The tycoons objectively have the desire to buy the same high-end computers. Zhang Yuan, as a computer enthusiast, saw this business opportunity and decided to
Start a host customization business, cooperate with the distribution and door-to-door services of Headwind Logistics, and open up a new industry.
There is not much investment in this matter. Each computer can earn between 500 and 1,000 yuan. Zhang Yuan and the network administrators of the Internet cafe only need to buy the accessories from the Internet, assemble them, deliver them to customers, and provide after-sales service.
, does not require large capital investment.
Even if they can't do it, there won't be any loss, because Zhang Yuan and the others don't plan to buy a lot of spare parts and stockpile them. They will only place orders if the rich demand it.
After listening to Ma Yang's story, Pei Qian fell into silence.
If you really do this, you can definitely make money!
Damn you Ma Yang, this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes is going to betray me too!
But then I thought about it, and it seemed that the blame no longer fell on Ma Yang. After all, Ma Yang was too easy to be fooled.
The blame must be placed on Zhang Yuan!
It seems that Zhang Yuan must be transferred away from Ma Yang as soon as possible to eliminate hidden dangers!
Pei Qian looked at the "ROF first generation prototype" on the table again.
Don't tell me, this matter still sounds promising. If you keep going like this, maybe you can make a little profit and give Mr. Pei a surprise attack before the settlement.
Pei Qian couldn't help but feel happy secretly.
"I almost got fooled, it was so dangerous."
"Fortunately, I'm prepared this time!"
Pei Qian was not angry, but rather thankful.
Okay, since you like starting a business so much, then help me and help me compensate a little more!
This project was supposed to make money, but now that Pei Qian has discovered it and is eyeing it, it is impossible to let it make money!
Seeing Mr. Pei smiling and saying nothing, Ma Yang didn't know for a moment whether he supported this project or not.
"Brother Qian, what do you think of this project? Is there any progress?" Ma Yang asked.
Pei Qian nodded: "I think it's good, but there is a problem."
“Too little money!”
"There's no point in making small fuss. If you want to do something big, do it big. It doesn't matter if you don't have money, I'll pay for it!"
Zhang Yuan was stunned, not knowing whether to be happy or what to do.
"Of course it's good to have Mr. Pei's support, but...it doesn't cost anything..."
Zhang Yuan was thinking, shouldn't he just sell the assembly machine and put a brand on it? Many online stores are doing this, and it doesn't require much start-up capital.
Now even if Mr. Pei allocates several million, Zhang Yuan doesn't know how to spend it.
Pei Qian shook his head: "You are just too conservative! You don't even have any imagination when it comes to spending money, so how can you do it?"
