Chapter 464 President Pei is testing you! (For the leader of the alliance, Wenhua manwa
Wednesday, March 23rd.
The Panic Hostel project is under construction in full swing.
Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong are here. In addition to daily supervision, they collect various horror novels, videos, movies and materials, work hard to explore their imagination, and think about how to make the Panic Hostel project better.
They also have some employees who are responsible for handling various tasks in the haunted house, but they are not many.
When the haunted house is about to be completed, a large number of employees will be recruited to be responsible for sales, performances, cleaning, etc.
It's just that now the three major projects of the haunted house are all completed, which is estimated to be more than three months at least.
Chen Kangtuo was still staring at the design drawings on the computer screen as usual, carefully considering some details of the design.
Suddenly, his phone vibrated and received a message.
Chen Kangtuo was startled and hurriedly called to Hao Qiong.
"Quick, get ready, Mr. Pei is coming!"
Hao Qiong was holding her cell phone and reading with gusto. It was a horror novel that had recently achieved good results on the Dingmin Chinese website.
After hearing what Chen Kangtuo said, he quickly asked: "When?"
Chen Kangtuo had already stood up and started sorting out the information: "We'll be there in ten minutes!"
The two people began to hurriedly clean up the debris on the table.
This is a temporary office renovated from a corner of the factory. It was renovated strictly in accordance with the spirit of Tengda. It has a large desk, sofa, and refrigerator. In short, the office environment is very comfortable.
It's just that while it's comfortable, it's easy to get messy.
There were some drink bottles, horror novels, horror original painting collections and other sundries piled on the sofa and desk. Chen Kangtuo felt that Mr. Pei would definitely leave some bad impressions if he saw him in this state.
So the two people hurriedly cleaned up and restored the entire office environment to a generally tidy state.
Not long after cleaning up, Mr. Pei arrived.
Chen Kangtuo came forward with a folder in his hand.
"Hello, Mr. Pei! Please come in!"
The folder contains information about the Terror Hostel project, including floor plans, design details of each project, renderings, sources of inspiration, project costs, contracts signed with the engineering team, etc.
Chen Kangtuo felt that President Pei must be here to inquire about the construction progress and some details of the Frightening Hotel, so he took the time to prepare.
Although a lot of the content has been firmly memorized in his mind, it is always a good idea to have the information on hand so that he can show it to Mr. Pei at any time.
Asking Mr. Pei to sit down on the sofa, Chen Kangtuo was already ready to report on his work.
"Mr. Pei, let me first report on the recent construction status of the Frightened Hotel." Chen Kangtuo said after Hao Qiong served hot tea to Mr. Pei.
Pei Qian took the tea and took a sip. After hearing Chen Kangtuo's words, he shook his head: "No, I have something important to leave to you."
Seeing Mr. Pei's serious expression, Chen Kangtuo couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
What important thing does Mr. Pei want to tell us?
To make Mr. Pei so serious is definitely a very complex and difficult task!
Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong did not dare to ask any more questions and could only listen carefully.
Pei Qian took a sip of tea and asked: "According to the current plan, how long will it take for the haunted house to be completed?"
Chen Kangtuo: "The fastest is more than three months, and the normal plan is four months."
Pei Qian nodded, four months was still within the acceptable range.
"I will give you another 40 million, all of which will be spent on the Panic Hotel project. If you have any difficulties, please tell me now."
Chen Kangtuo waited for a while and found that Mr. Pei seemed to have nothing to say, so he asked: "Uh... Mr. Pei, what about other things?"
Pei Qian: "There is nothing else."
Chen Kangtuo: "...the important thing you said is spending money?"
Pei Qian nodded: "Yes."
The confused expression on Chen Kangtuo's face lasted for a few seconds, and then he suddenly made a mistake: "Oh! I understand!"
"Mr. Pei, are these 40 million used to build surrounding facilities? I've wanted to mention this for a long time!"
In Chen Kangtuo's view, the previous budget was enough to repair the main body of the Terror Hostel, but there were no supporting facilities around it!
There are no shops, hotels, or restaurants, and there is a lack of food, clothing, and shelter.
The traffic is even worse. Not to mention the subway, there are no buses to here.
How can this attract tourists?
Is it possible that all the tourists came by car and just stood there while waiting in line?
That's definitely inappropriate.
Now that Mr. Pei has allocated another 40 million, the surrounding supporting facilities can finally keep up!
Pei Qian shook his head speechlessly: "That's wrong, all 40 million is prepared for the Panic Hotel project itself."
“Everything should be invested in the project. We don’t have to spend a penny on the surrounding supporting facilities, and we can’t delay the construction period.”
"I'm emphasizing that this matter is very important and must be done well. Do you understand?"
Chen Kangtuo was a little confused.
Yes, I guessed it all wrong...
Sure enough, Mr. Pei is Mr. Pei. Most people would never guess this idea...
All 40 million has been spent on the Panic Hostel project, and it can’t affect the construction schedule. So we can’t add new projects indiscriminately, we can only continue to polish the details on the basis of existing projects.
But...this is too luxurious!
It’s obviously not as cost-effective as building supporting facilities!
Is it possible that there is a deep meaning here?
Chen Kangtuo instinctively felt that it was a bit wasteful, but he did not dare to ask more questions and just faithfully executed: "Okay, Mr. Pei, I will definitely handle it!"
Pei Qian nodded with satisfaction, then stood up: "You continue to work on your business. A group of people will come to inspect the area later. I will personally receive them. You don't have to worry about anything. Don't worry about anything you see.
Ask, do you understand?"
Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong nodded together: "Understood!"
Pei Qian left the office with satisfaction and went to his car to wait.
Previously, Mr. Li said that he would bring other people to invest in this area, and he would come over for inspection today. Pei Qian would definitely welcome them.
Although the reception can be left to Chen Kangtuo, Pei Qian is worried.
If Chen Kangtuo is lax and inadvertently exposes some flaws, and Mr. Li and the others find out that Pei Qian has invested such a large amount of money in this project, Mr. Li and others will definitely be more determined to "just drink the soup".
When the time comes, it will be even harder to get rid of.
Pei Qian had already thought about it. When Mr. Li and the others arrived, he would take them for a walk in a desolate old industrial area and let them take a good look at what the land was like!
It would be best to be able to persuade a few investors to quit on the spot.
If you can't be persuaded to retreat, then think of other ways.
…
Less than half an hour later, several high-end commercial vehicles parked at the entrance of the old industrial zone.
Pei Qian immediately greeted Mr. Li and others and expressed his warm welcome.
"Mr. Pei! I've been waiting for so long. I'm not very familiar with the roads nearby, so I'm a little delayed. I'm really sorry."
Li Shi got out of the car and was the first to apologize to Pei Qian.
Other investors also got out of the car and greeted Mr. Pei.
Some drove themselves, and some brought drivers, but the drivers stayed in the car and did not follow.
Obviously, what Mr. Li said was not an excuse, but a fact.
The roads in this place are indeed unfamiliar!
When two investors got out of the car, their first reaction was to frown.
Isn’t this too desolate?
Although everyone has heard about the Jingzhou Old Industrial Zone for a long time, many people have never been here because they have no direct business dealings with it, so why are they here?
When I arrived today, I was completely disappointed. It was even worse than the worst-case scenario I expected!
Li Shi did say before that Mr. Pei built a haunted house project in a desolate old industrial area where there was no place for people to poop.
At that time, they thought Mr. Li was using exaggeration.
Only now do I realize that it was not an exaggeration at all!
To say that birds don't poop in this place is a bit insulting to the birds.
All in all, I felt a little depressed on the spot, and it showed on my face involuntarily.
Pei Qian saw it in his eyes and felt happy in his heart.
Very good, this is the reaction you want!
I told you a long time ago that this place is too desolate and impossible to build, but you don't believe me.
Do you believe it now?
Of course, there are only two people who are obviously dissatisfied at the moment, and Pei Qian feels that he must make persistent efforts.
Take this group of investors to walk around the old industrial area and let them take a good look at the panoramic view of the old industrial area.
By then they will know that the only area that can be called "relatively desolate" is the entrance.
If you go further in, it will be even worse than this!
Since there is no way to dissuade these people by presenting facts and reasoning, let me show you the situation on the ground. You should retreat in the face of difficulties, right?
"Come with me, everyone. I will give you a brief introduction to the current situation of this old industrial area and the current status of the Panic Hostel project."
Pei Qian took these investors and walked into the old industrial area.
…
Thirty minutes later, everyone walked back from the depths of the old industrial area and stopped outside one of the factories being renovated in the Panic Hotel project.
Two older investors were already out of breath.
Li Shi also rubbed his legs, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Pei Qian was only in his early twenties, so walking such a short distance seemed like a joke, but these guys were usually so pampered that walking for half an hour was already a bit tiring.
Even so, the investors all followed, and no one was left behind, and no one turned away in anger, which surprised Pei Qian.
It’s just that everyone’s faces don’t look good.
Because after walking around, I found that I thought the entrance to the old industrial area was too desolate, so I obviously had a misunderstanding.
After looking inside, I realized what it means to be truly desolate!
Although the entrance is deserted, the ground is still clean at least. Once inside the old industrial area, various piles of construction waste, unclear graffiti on the walls, and stubbornly growing grass can be seen everywhere, all indicating a fact.
That desolate entrance is actually the most respectable place in the entire old industrial area...
Pei Qian smiled slightly, feeling that half of his goal had been achieved.
As long as these investors take a look at the true state of the old industrial areas and think about what will happen after their money is invested...
Someone will definitely quit on the spot!
Pei Qian coughed twice: "Everyone, let me emphasize this again."
"This investment will really make a loss."
He tried his best to make his expression as sincere as possible.
It was obvious that two or three investors were about to give up.
Previously, I wanted to follow Mr. Pei because of his aura of success. But now that I saw the real situation in the old industrial area, I suddenly felt that Mr. Pei’s aura was not going to work no matter how awesome he was.
If you want to make this place popular, it is as difficult as turning stone into gold!
However, everyone is too embarrassed to be the first to say no. You look at me, I look at you, they are all waiting for someone else to make the first move.
Pei Qian is not in a hurry. Anyway, as long as he waits patiently and everyone weighs the money in their hands, someone will definitely come forward.
However, Li Shi seemed to have discovered this as well.
He took a step forward decisively and looked around at everyone: "Why, what I said before was good. Is it possible that someone wants to back out?"
The voice was full of determination.
Pei Qian: "...?"
He looked at Li Shi with a confused look on his face.
Li Shi nodded firmly to Pei Qian, and then continued to look at the other investors: "Confused! Pei is always testing your determination!"
"Every one of them said before that they would not invest in projects that were not for President Pei, but they took two steps and changed their minds after seeing some superficial phenomena? Even the wallflowers are more determined than you!"
"Think carefully about the investors who didn't trust Mr. Pei when they invested in Xude Education. What's happening now!"
"Are you going to be like those people and miss out on a good project?"
As soon as Li Shi said these words, the eyes of several investors who seemed to want to retreat became firm again.
They looked at each other, lost in thought.
Li Shi looked at Pei Qian with a smile on his face, as if to say: "Don't worry, with me here, no one of these people can even think of becoming a deserter!"
