Pei Qian, who was stabbed in the back by his dear employees on Valentine's Day, was heartbroken and still had not fully recovered. He even had the idea of arranging a Horror Hostel experience for all employees.
However, considering that this project is not perfect yet, this idea has been abandoned for the time being.
Let them go for now, and wait until all three projects of the Panic Hostel are completed before settling the scores with them later!
At that time, all employees will be arranged without landing, so that they can feel President Pei's love for them!
At this time, Chen Kangtuo was briefing Pei Qian on the completion status of the second major project of the Terror Hotel.
"Mr. Pei, the six small projects initially planned have been completed. The pulleys under the container can be moved in random combinations under the control of the agency, so that players cannot guess what the next project they are going to be."
"The difficulty of the second major project is moderate. It is mainly used to test the players' mental endurance. They must completely memorize the requirements of all projects before entering, and they must still accurately complete all requirements even if the order of small projects is disrupted.
Only then can we pass the test and be qualified to challenge the third major project.”
"Of course, unless the players give up on their own, all players can experience the entire project to the end without being asked out immediately when they fail."
"According to your request, Mr. Pei, the cost of experiencing the second major project is set at 30 yuan, which is equivalent to the price of each small project being only 5 yuan. I personally think this price may be a bit too low."
"The plans for the first and third projects are being worked on as soon as possible, and construction is expected to officially start this week. However, since the construction period of these two projects will be longer, we are optimistic that it will not be until May or June next year at least."
"If the quality of the project by then cannot meet the requirements, there is the possibility of further postponement."
Pei Qian nodded: "Well done."
"In addition, there is no need to worry about the price, because Panic Hostel mainly makes profits through the third project."
"We will officially start operations after all three projects are completed. There is no need to rush. Priority will be given to ensuring project quality and safety."
It seems that the haunted house project will definitely not be completed during this billing cycle, and will have to be postponed.
Fortunately, this settlement cycle allows for one unfinished project, which will not affect settlement.
And in this way, Pei Qian can invest all his excess funds in the Panic Hostel project, greatly alleviating the pressure of sufficient funds before settlement.
Of course, this kind of investment seems unlimited on the surface, but in fact it does.
Delayed projects must be completed before the next settlement, which means that the stall cannot be spread too large.
Take the Panic Hostel project as an example. Pei Qian can invest all the excess system funds, but the more money he invests, the larger the project volume will be and the completion time will be extended accordingly.
If the next settlement period is only three months, and the Terror Hostel has not officially opened for business in another three months, it will lead to a delay in settlement.
Therefore, Pei Qian must consider this invisible restriction when he spends money at the Panic Hostel. He cannot only focus on the immediate future and ignore the long-term.
In addition, since the Panic Hostel has been selected as an unfinished project in this cycle, all other projects, including mobile phones, games, etc., must be completed.
Pei Qian looked at the time and saw that the white mouse should have arrived.
Sure enough, not long after, Mr. Li's car drove outside the Frightened Hotel.
"Mr. Pei." Li Shi came over with a cheerful face and shook hands with Pei Qian.
Yesterday, Pei Qian invited him to visit the Panic Hostel, and Li Shi agreed without saying a word.
There are two main purposes for coming here this time. One is to inspect the investment environment around the haunted house, and the other is to explore Mr. Pei’s tone and see what Yuanmeng Venture Capital’s attitude is on the Xueba Kuai Lai app and whether it wants to
Run away.
Pei Qian smiled and shook hands with Mr. Li: "Mr. Li, thank you for your hard work coming all the way. Come on, let's have a cup of tea first."
Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong have been monitoring the progress of the project here, so they built a small office in advance, which is naturally equipped with snacks, drinks, tea, etc., which is very consistent with the spirit of Tengda.
Mr. Li sat down on the single sofa and sighed with emotion while drinking tea: "I remember Mr. Pei said before that he wanted me to be the first customer of the haunted house. I didn't expect that the progress of the haunted house would be so fast.
It’s very consistent with ‘Tengda Efficiency’.”
Pei Qian thought silently, well... Strictly speaking, Mr. Li, you are not the first customer. After all, Ruan Guangjian has already experienced three of these small projects.
However, Mr. Li, you are the first person to fully experience the second major project, so there should be nothing wrong with you being the first customer.
Pei Qian drank tea and corrected Li Shi: "This is only the second major project of the Terror Hostel. More than half of the projects have just started and cannot officially start operations yet."
"Moreover, this cannot be said to be 'Tengda efficiency'. Tengda never pursues speed, but only strives for excellence as much as possible within a limited time."
"Striving for excellence..." Li Shi pondered for a moment and asked a very serious question, "So, are the projects here scary?"
"Ahem." Pei Qian coughed twice and glanced at Chen Kangtuo who was standing aside. "How do you say this? It varies from person to person. Only after experiencing it can you know."
Chen Kangtuo handed the list of written project contents to Mr. Li: "This is the action to be completed in the project. Please read it and remember it."
Li Shi took the piece of paper, glanced at the content on it, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
There are a few lines of simple explanatory text on it:
[Visitors can challenge the termination at any time when they feel unwell.]
[Keep in mind all the steps and execute them accurately during the challenge. After passing the entire level, you will be eligible to challenge the third project of the Panic Hostel. 】
[If you want, you can still continue to experience the whole process even if you make mistakes in the steps.]
[There is no time limit for memorizing steps.]
[Special note: The order of the following six items will be randomly disrupted during the challenge, please do not memorize them mechanically.]
Below are the names of the six projects and the challenge items that need to be completed in each project.
These challenge items are basically around 5 to 7 items, and they are related to a certain extent, so they are not difficult to remember.
For example, bathroom projects:
1. Lock the bathroom door.
2. Pick up the red candle on the ground and light it.
3. Place the candle in front of the mirror, cover your eyes for three seconds and look into the mirror.
4. Turn on the faucet and wash your hands.
5. Lie in the bathtub, press the timer, and cover your eyes with your hands until the timer stops.
The challenge items basically focus on three locations: the entrance, the bathroom mirror and the bathtub. The order is from the outside to the inside. It only takes two or three minutes to memorize a rough idea with a clear mind.
Of course, considering that the order of all the small items will be disrupted, it will take at least half an hour to memorize all the items.
Li Shi quickly browsed all the small project requirements and fell silent.
It seems... not as scary as imagined.
When Li Shi came, he originally had a mentality of looking forward to death.
Because he knows that with Mr. Pei’s character of striving for perfection in everything he does, the haunted house project will definitely be particularly scary!
But after seeing this list, it was slightly different from what he expected.
Currently, the scariest haunted houses basically have two characteristics: one is a long process, and the other is a large number of staff interacting with tourists.
But this project at Panic Hostel is exactly the opposite.
It can be seen from the projects on this paper that each of these challenges is not very long, and will probably end in five to eight minutes. The total length of all the projects is about half an hour to forty minutes.
Moreover, it seems that there is basically no such method of "staff pretending to be ghosts and arresting people".
This reassured Mr. Li a lot.
It seems that this project is mainly to obtain the challenge qualification for the third project, so the level of horror is moderate.
Thinking of this, Li Shi felt a little confident.
What he originally thought was that if this project was too scary, he would not experience it and find other ways to get words out of Mr. Pei.
But now that this project is not that scary, I can write a little article about it.
"Mr. Pei, if I insist on completing the whole process, can I get a separate reward? 'Qualification for the third project' is completely meaningless to me." Li Shi asked.
Pei Qian nodded: "Of course, Mr. Li, what reward do you want? How about I give you a lifetime VIP of the Fright Hostel, so you can come and experience it for free at any time?"
Li Shi's face darkened: "What do I need that for? Do you think you have a long life?"
"Ahem, how about this? If I am lucky enough to persevere in this project, Mr. Pei, can you tell me the truth about whether Xueba is coming to this project? Will Yuanmeng Venture Capital cash out and run away?"
Pei Qian laughed in his heart, Mr. Li's request was exactly what he wanted.
Even if Mr. Li didn't take the initiative to ask, Pei Qian originally planned to let him know.
"No problem." Pei Qian agreed.
Li Shi raised his thumb: "Okay! Mr. Pei is really happy! Then I will go in and experience it. Mr. Pei, please don't break your promise."
The two of them had their own secrets. Li Shi carefully recited the requirements written on the paper. After about a quarter of an hour, he recited them silently several times and finally remembered them all.
"I'm ready." Li Shi stood up.
Pei Qian nodded: "Mr. Li, please."
Li Shi confidently walked to the entrance of the second project and entered proudly.
"You talk about being scared, but your steps are very determined... Could Mr. Li be like Ruan Guangjian, a guy who 'pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger'?"
Pei Qian suddenly became a little unconfident about the Panic Hostel project.
However, as soon as he walked to the monitoring screen, he heard a horrific scream coming from inside.
"ah!!!!!!"
Looking at the surveillance screen again, Mr. Li fell to the ground less than a minute after entering, his hands desperately wiping the back of his neck.
Pei Qian noticed that the first project that Mr. Li randomly came across was the "ceiling".
When entering the room, the visitor has to bend down to pick up a broken notebook under the table. At this time, a drop of water will fall from the ceiling and land on the back of the visitor's neck.
Visitors will subconsciously look up at this time and see a panel on the ceiling removed, with a head on it with eyes wide open and bleeding tears.
Apparently, Mr. Li saw this head when he looked up, so he was so frightened that he screamed and backed away. After falling to the ground, he subconsciously wanted to wipe away the "blood" dripping from the back of his neck.
Seeing this, Pei Qian felt relieved.
"It seems that there is no problem with the horror level of the Panic Hostel, but it is Ruan Guangjian who has the problem..."
