Zhang Yuan was still blowing rainbow farts at 360 degrees, but Pei Qian was drinking coffee and didn't listen to a word.
He was confused as to what went wrong???
Taking Tang Yishu to the warehouse, the effect was immediate. The computers that were supposed to malfunction all malfunctioned, which indeed slowed down the progress of the assembly.
But... what is the situation of the fire in the memory factory?
This halo effect cannot affect foreign countries, right?
Pei Qian was puzzled.
Strictly speaking, these things that happened are indeed not a good thing, but they did bring a lot of trouble to Mr. Pei...
It seems that big killers should be used with caution.
If you fail to do one well, you will accidentally hurt yourself!
Anyway, now that the damage has been done, the key is how to spend the money next.
Continuing to stock up? I’m afraid that’s not possible.
Now, the popularity of ROF installed machines is already very high. After this wave of "no price increase promotion" on New Year's Day, its popularity and brand recognition will only become higher.
Previous examples have proven that many customers have now accepted that ROF has a certain brand premium.
In other words, even if the original pricing is maintained, the sales volume of the ROF machine will never drop sharply, and because there is a certain profit margin, making money is almost certain.
If we continue to stock up on goods, if one day there is another sharp increase in graphics cards, wouldn't it cost Mr. Pei's life?
It seems that crazy hoarding of goods is not reliable!
Pei finally spent money and learned a big lesson.
How about spending this money on other industries?
But after a second thought, I rejected this point.
Pei Qian feels that he should stick to one principle, which is:
Who pollutes, cleans it; who makes money, spends it.
He reflected for a moment and realized that it was because he failed to adhere to this principle that he started setting fires everywhere and couldn't hold them down.
Many projects are fine on their own and benefit well, but when they are linked with other projects, big problems are likely to occur.
Therefore, the money earned by rof should still be left to Zhang Yuan and let him find a way to spend it.
Pei Qian thought for a moment and said, "Don't hand over the money you earn from the ROF installation business. You can spend it yourself."
Zhang Yuan was stunned: "Ah? Mr. Pei, why don't you hand over this large sum of money? Is this appropriate?"
Pei Qian said hehe: "Of course it is appropriate. You can spend the money you earn by yourself."
Zhang Yuan quickly waved his hand: "No, no, no, Mr. Pei, all this money was earned under your wise guidance."
Pei Qian: "..."
Look at this man, if he can't speak, just don't speak!
Pei Qian is a tolerant person and does not intend to dwell too much on this issue: "Tell me first, where do you plan to spend this money?"
Zhang Yuan fell into deep thought.
The business he is currently in charge of is mainly Moyu Internet Cafe and ROF installation. Of course, Moyu Takeout, as a derivative business of Moyu Internet Cafe, is also indirectly in charge of him.
At the same time, these businesses are closely related to Headwind Logistics.
The person in charge of Headwind Logistics is Lu Mingliang, who is highly regarded by Pei Qian.
In fact, Headwind Logistics has indeed been experiencing pure losses until now, and it relies entirely on the blood transfusions from other businesses of Tenda Group to continue operating.
This fully proves that Mr. Pei's long-standing trust in Lu Mingliang is correct.
Of course, for Pei Qian, accurately speaking, this should not be regarded as a blood transfusion, but should be regarded as detoxification.
Without Headwind Logistics, Mr. Pei might have died of poison long ago.
Zhang Yuan thought for a moment and said: "Mr. Pei, I thought about it. The brand ROF has now completely established itself in Jingzhou, and the online store has also gained a certain reputation."
"The business of Moyu Internet Cafe has been recognized by everyone, and it has become the most popular high-end Internet cafe brand in Jingzhou."
“In my opinion, it’s about time we continue to expand and bring the Moyu Internet Cafe model to other cities!”
Pei Qian sighed silently in his heart. Sure enough, he still couldn't get around this problem.
Mr. Li has raised this question before, why not open branches in other cities to make more money.
The reason is simple. Mr. Pei is afraid of driving to other cities and continuing to make money!
But now, he had to consider this issue.
Because I can’t put it off anymore.
Since Moyu Internet Cafe and ROF installation business have made money and made a lot of money, why not continue to expand?
This doesn't make sense.
Therefore, this branch will be opened sooner or later. The key question is where to open it and how to open it.
Pei Qian thought for a while and asked: "In your opinion, where should the branch of Moyu Internet Cafe be opened?"
Zhang Yuan said without thinking: "I think we should drive to a big city, the Imperial Capital, the Magic Capital or a super first-tier city like Yangcheng!"
"There are many young people there, the population is densely populated, and people's consumption levels are high. They will definitely be more recognized for this high-end Internet cafe model."
"Once we get there, it will be easier to open up the market."
"Even the supporting businesses of Moyu Internet Cafe, such as Moyu takeout, can still be enjoyed."
Pei Qian was silent.
What you said makes sense, so you definitely can’t do this...
He thought for a moment and said: "My opinion is exactly the opposite."
"I'm going to set my next target in Lincheng."
Zhang Yuan was stunned: "Lin Cheng?"
Lincheng City is the poorest city in Handong Province. Daokou County, a well-known poverty-stricken county, is located in Lincheng City.
Go to such a poor place to open a Moyu Internet cafe?
How many customers can there be?
Pei Qian continued: "Moreover, it's not just Moyu Internet Cafe that is going to expand this time."
“All supporting facilities attached to Moyu Internet Cafe must be moved there together!”
Seeing Zhang Yuan's confused expression, Pei Qian couldn't help but smile.
He is not urgent about opening a branch of Moyu Internet Cafe.
He hopes to open more headwind stations.
However, Nifeng Station has basically spread all over Jingzhou. When you open the map, you can see so many outlets that there is almost no place to stay.
If you want to open it again, you can only drive it to other cities.
However, it is too strange to only open Nifeng Inn in other cities and not Moyu Internet Cafe, and it is easy to be suspected.
If you want to do it, you must do it together to hide it from others.
Moreover, Moyu Internet Cafe has a big advantage compared to Nifeng Inn, which is that the initial investment is relatively large. Whether it is store rent, decoration, or the cost of purchasing a computer, it is a large expense.
Even if it gradually becomes profitable in the future, it will take a long time to recoup the huge initial investment.
At least not during this billing cycle.
What if we give more thought to the location selection and don’t copy the failed experience of Jingzhou City and let these stores continue to lose money?
That’s even better!
Therefore, Pei Qian thought twice and chose Lincheng City, the poorest city in Handong Province.
Poverty means that the consumption level of local residents is not high. Internet cafes with relatively high consumption, such as Moyu Internet Cafe, naturally have difficulty in affording food.
And fancy takeaways like Moyu takeout will definitely not be sold.
And for projects like Headwind Logistics that are performing stably and making no profit, they will definitely continue to make losses.
In short, if you have to choose, choose a poorer place.
As for why... Pei Qian is not going to explain, anyway, these people will figure it out on their own.
Pei Qian continued: "My plan is to move all the current physical industries and supporting industries that are dependent on the real industries."
"One Moyu Internet Cafe 2.0 opened in the core business district, paired with three Moyu Internet Cafe 1.0 opened in the sub-first-class business district, paired with Moyu takeout, and then paired with 20 headwind stations around it, as well as the installation of ROF
We have prepared a large warehouse and four distribution points around Moyu Internet Cafe.”
“All these things are prepared at the same time and all are launched at once!”
Zhang Yuan looked shocked: "Mr. Pei, this investment is not small..."
"Although the rent in Lincheng is much cheaper than in Jingzhou, it is impossible to get this whole thing without an initial investment of around ten million..."
Pei Qian sighed silently.
I don't want this either.
Who made your installation business earn so much???
Don’t I have to spend it as soon as possible so that I don’t have to rush and spend it when the settlement period comes?
Pei Qian said earnestly: "This little money is nothing. If it's not enough, you can ask me for it again."
"Moreover, the 20 headwind stations are only temporary. We will definitely continue to open them in the future. We will strive to spread the headwind stations all over Lincheng as soon as possible like Jingzhou!"
"You have to have a clear purpose."
"When you make money, you figure out how to solve it yourself and spend it hard;"
"If you lose money, report it to me as soon as possible and I will take care of it for you."
Zhang Yuan originally thought that Mr. Pei was talking politely, but after looking carefully, he felt that Mr. Pei's eyes were very sincere.
"Mr. Pei, I...I'm so...so touched!"
Zhang Yuan's gratitude was beyond words for a moment.
Pei Qian quickly raised his hand to signal him to stop.
"Okay, no need to say more, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Pei Qian was furious when he saw the long queue at the entrance of the Internet cafe.
Zhang Yuan hurriedly said: "Okay, Mr. Pei, please go slowly! I wish you a happy New Year!"
Pei Qian: "..."
Sorry, my New Year is not happy at all!
…
…
Tuesday, November 4th, 11am.
Pei Qian came to the company leisurely as usual, while others had already started their day's work.
Maybe because it was the first day of work after the holiday, everyone looked very busy.
Li Yada and his team have returned.
Pei Qian saw Li Yada and Bao Xu. He didn't know why, but he always felt that there wasn't much aftertaste and joy of returning from the trip on their faces. Instead, they felt...a feeling of going through many vicissitudes of life?
Pei Qian couldn't help but wonder, is the United States so unfun?
However, he didn't ask much, because Pei Qian was also a homebody who didn't want to go out and run around. He didn't care whether the United States was fun or not, and he didn't plan to go there anyway.
When he came to the office, Pei Qian first checked his unread messages.
There was a message from Zhang Yuan, saying that he and Lu Mingliang had set off for Lincheng to inspect today. Counting the preliminary site selection, decoration, recruitment, etc., the whole process would be completed by at least mid-February.
Pei Qian felt that the timing was good at this point, and it would be better if it was delayed a little bit.
It is best to open all these Internet cafes and inns more than a week before settlement. This will cost a lot of money, but you will not make too much money during this period.
As for the next cycle…
We'll talk about it in the next cycle. If it doesn't work, we'll find a poorer city to open some branches, and the cycle will continue endlessly.
