Pei Qian smiled slightly, took the teapot next to him, poured a cup of tea with his own hands, and pushed it to Rui Yuchen's hand.
"Your answer is good."
Rui Yuchen hurriedly took the tea cup with both hands, and at the same time began to murmur in her heart.
Good answer?
What does it mean?
What I said was "I don't know"!
Mr. Pei doesn’t often praise others!
Do you think I am more honest if I tell the truth?
It can't be done!
Although the quality of honesty is very valuable, Mr. Pei will not praise others just because of it!
In other words, Mr. Pei saw that I was pretending to be stupid? He felt that my answer took care of his face, so he was satisfied with my answer?
No, it's impossible.
Mr. Pei is not a superficial person.
Or is my answer a mistake, catering to the deeper meaning of Mr. Pei’s question?
After eliminating the two wrong answers, Rui Yuchen's brain began to spin rapidly. He realized that there must be a lot of very important information hidden behind Mr. Pei's simple compliment.
Could it be that Mr. Pei has set a seemingly wrong operating model for Moyu Takeout, but actually has a deeper meaning?
And the reason why he asked this was to test me, whether I could see the deep meaning behind it?
If I answer honestly "This model does not make money", then Mr. Pei will know: I only saw the first layer, but I was completely unaware of the existence of the second layer;
And now my answer "don't know" just proves that I not only saw the first layer, but also realized the existence of the second layer.
Although I didn't get the correct answer, at least the idea of solving the problem was correct.
There is no perfect score, but there is at least a step score of 60 points.
And Mr. Pei’s praise for me is mostly because of this...
A series of thoughts flashed through Rui Yuchen's mind instantly.
Seeing Rui Yuchen's serious expression, Pei Qian thought he was nervous and couldn't help but smile.
"Don't be nervous, it's not that important whether you can make money by taking out food, do you understand?"
Rui Yuchen was shocked.
Sure enough, for Mr. Pei, the second goal of taking out fish is profit, and the first goal is other things!
What is it?
Are they providing benefits to employees?
Is it to be linked with other industries so that Tenda’s tentacles can penetrate into all aspects of life?
Is it to provide consumers with healthier dishes and change their eating habits? To guide everyone to live a healthy life?
Although I’m not sure which one it is, it’s definitely one of the three!
Rui Yuchen was a little lucky. She had just answered "I don't know" and she had indeed hit the right answer!
Although there were big deviations in the problem-solving process, the results were right.
He quickly cheered up and continued to listen carefully.
Pei Qian continued: "I called you here today because I am going to give you some tasks."
"First, starting from today, the Moyu takeout business will be independent from Moyu Internet Cafe. You will no longer report to Xiao Peng, but will report directly to me."
"The independent Moyu takeout, builds its own stores, expands spontaneously, and is no longer attached to Moyu Internet Cafe."
"I know you want to ask where the money comes from."
"Ask me for the money directly."
"Second, hire some nutritionists and experts at a high price to set up a 'food laboratory' to develop a variety of healthy meals suitable for takeout, including the selection and procurement of tableware and various ingredients, etc., also by'
Gourmet Lab' takes charge and is committed to improving the taste of Moyu takeout."
"Third, develop a set of fitness meals as a ration for the gym."
Pei Qian has been thinking about the arrangement of Moyu takeout for a long time.
More than a year has passed since the establishment of the Moyu takeout business. It has not only solved the problem of food for employees, but has also been working hard to make losses. Although it is a drop in the bucket compared to other profitable projects, this kind of effort,
Mr. Pei also saw it all.
However, Moyu Takeout is currently dependent on Internet cafes. If you want to make more money with takeout, you have to open more Internet cafes, and Internet cafes now make much more money than Moyu Takeout loses...
…
This falls into an infinite loop.
Therefore, Pei Qian felt that it was time to make food delivery independent.
Let Moyu Takeaway open some stores, you can spend more money on rent, and at the same time, after leaving Moyu Internet Cafe, you can expand more freely.
At the same time, Pei Qian thought it would be a good idea to spend money on research and development for Moyu Takeout.
Of course, it is definitely not the kind of fast food that is developed, which is too profitable. Pei Qian does not want to suddenly come up with a fast food brand such as Kendaqi Chicken or Silver Arches one day, which will cause big problems.
What Pei Qian wants to do is to make some not-so-palatable healthy meals, fitness meals, fat-reducing meals, etc., and at the same time use relatively high prices to dissuade mainstream diners.
Speaking of takeout, there is a joke.
Why don’t many takeaways such as healthy vegetable salads sell well?
Netizen replied: I already eat takeout, why do I care about my health?
Of course, this certainly doesn't represent everyone's thoughts, but it does make sense.
Most people order takeout just for the oily and salty taste. It's really not delicious to eat green vegetable leaves, and most people can't stand it.
Therefore, Pei Qian feels that engaging in this so-called healthy meal should be the lowest-risk option. Even if some urban white-collar workers order this to lose weight, there will not be many people.
The characteristics of Moyu takeout (tableware recycling) determine that it is impossible to make a profit until the scale reaches a certain level.
This set of fitness meals can be bundled with gym memberships, and at the same time dissuade gym customers and takeout customers, killing two birds with one stone!
Pei Qian was a little impressed by his own wit.
After listening to Mr. Pei's words, Rui Yuchen fell into silence and didn't know what to say for a while.
I kept losing money, but not only was I not criticized, I was even promoted!
Now Moyu Takeout and Moyu Internet Cafe are on the same level. Not only that, but he can also report directly to President Pei.
Anyone who has watched court dramas knows that being able to speak in front of the emperor is a great power in itself!
This means that Moyu Takeaway no longer has to succumb to Moyu Internet Cafes and can only cooperate and provide assistance to Moyu Internet Cafes. Instead, it can break out of this framework and develop better!
As for the "food laboratory" and "fitness meal", they are even more meaningful.
The former means that Mr. Pei attaches great importance to the prospect of Moyu Takeout, while the latter means that Mr. Pei is willing to use other industries to help Moyu Takeout!
These three points exude a strong hint.
You can show your talents as much as you can, and I will support you unconditionally!
Rui Yuchen couldn't help but feel inexplicably moved, and she was even more certain of her previous thoughts!
Mr. Pei’s initial question indeed has a second meaning!
Moyu Internet cafes don’t make money, it’s a problem with their operating model.
Healthy meals that do not pay attention to taste are inherently unpalatable;
The damage, cleaning, disinfection, recycling and other steps of tableware increase the cost, and only when it reaches a certain scale can it be possible to recover the cost;
In Mr. Pei’s view, making money is only secondary to Moyu Internet Cafe.
So, what is the first one?
Originally Rui Yuchen was just guessing, but now she is absolutely sure.
The first goal of Moyu Takeout is to guide consumers so that everyone can live a healthy lifestyle starting from diet! At the same time, Tengda Group will also make early arrangements in this process to prepare for the future development of various related industries.
Lay a solid foundation!
This goal was most likely set by Mr. Pei from the very beginning of the establishment of Moyu Takeout. However, due to financial problems and related industry issues, the conditions were not mature before. Naturally, there was no need to mention it to the person in charge of Moyu Takeout.
But now, the conditions seem to be ripe.
Now Moyu takeout has reached a considerable scale and has gained a certain reputation among consumers.
If we continue to expand and everyone has established the concept of "healthy eating", won't making money be easy?
Sure enough, the previous losses from taking out fish were all calculated by Mr. Pei!
Rui Yuchen wanted to say loudly: Mr. Pei, I understand! I understand why Moyu Internet Cafe has been losing money, and I understand the true meaning of this operating model!
But seeing the faint smile on the corner of Mr. Pei's mouth, Rui Yuchen felt that it was unnecessary to do so.
Obviously, Mr. Pei already knew that I would guess this. It was just a matter of sooner or later.
If you are shouting about this now, you will appear to be very helpless.
As we all know, Mr. Pei doesn't like subordinates who always talk about their achievements. Instead, he prefers subordinates who only talk about problems, not achievements, and work hard in a down-to-earth manner.
Rui Yuchen thought about it, and finally a thousand words came together into one sentence.
"Don't worry, Mr. Pei, I will complete the task beautifully and never let you down!"
Pei Qian nodded with satisfaction.
Well, children can be taught!
…
at the same time.
Huang Sibo was lying on the sofa in his residence. He had just watched a foreign movie and suddenly felt a little bored.
Looking at the date, it has been more than a week since Feihuang Studio officially went into shock.
Arrangements are still being made for the overseas release of "Better Tomorrow", and the domestic box office payments should be received soon.
Mr. Pei arranged a "shock" period for Feihuang Studio for four full months. It had only been a week, and Huang Sibo was already a little overwhelmed.
"I'm too busy at home..."
Although paid vacation sounds great, staying at home with nothing to do but watch movies every day can be frustrating!
Huang Sibo really wanted to go to work, but he didn't dare.
Mr. Pei said that if Feihuang Studio goes into shock, then it must go into shock.
If Mr. Pei is caught secretly going to work, the consequences will be disastrous.
Can you maintain your current status for four months?
That is simply worse than life!
Huang Sibo took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Feihuang Studio's group: "It's boring!!!"
Soon, everyone responded one after another.
"yes!"
"I watched four movies a day and almost vomited."
"I miss the time when I was filming "Better Tomorrow"."
"I also miss it. Although filming is tiring, it's fun and gives me a sense of accomplishment. Now that I'm on paid leave, I feel like I'm being scrapped."
Everyone complained.
Huang Sibo sighed silently, it seems that it is not his problem, everyone thinks so!
Zhu Xiaoce: "Don't complain in a hurry. I have been thinking hard in seclusion these days, and suddenly realized a problem."
Huang Sibo was stunned and quickly typed and asked: "What's the problem?"
Zhu Xiaoce: "What President Pei told us was not 'paid leave', but 'shock'."
Huang Sibo felt a little confused: "What's the difference? We are actually on paid leave now."
Zhu Xiaoce sent a "pensive" expression: "No, no, no, of course there is a difference."
"Paid leave means that when you are very tired from work, you can give yourself some time to rest. A week at most is enough."
"But Mr. Pei gave us four crazy months."
"This is clearly a serious timeout for a break."
"So, the word Mr. Pei used is 'shock'."
Huang Sibo was a little confused: "How to explain shock?"
Zhu Xiaoce: "'Shock therapy' is an economic concept, which means that when faced with a seriously unbalanced economic situation, some severe means are used to achieve a balance between social demand and supply, which may even prevent the social mechanism from functioning normally in the short term.
But if used properly, it can quickly restore order after labor pains."
"Our Feihuang Studio is currently facing such a situation."
Huang Sibo was a little confused: "No? We don't have a 'serious imbalance', nor do we face any serious problems..."
Zhu Xiaoce: "You think about it more carefully?"
"Is everyone's mentality really not unbalanced?"
"I am a directing graduate who has just graduated two years ago; Brother Huang, you have just transferred from the game industry not long ago; not to mention the others, although many of them are from majors, but who of you has participated in
Such a successful movie?”
"Our studio has been making short plays, and the first movie we made made more than 200 million at the box office. It was a hit and a hit."
"Who dares to say that he is not drifting? Who dares to say that his mentality is not unbalanced at all?"
"Do you think that 200 million box office is not that difficult and can be easily achieved?"
Everyone fell into silence.
Huang Sibo calmed down and asked himself, director Zhu Xiaoce seemed to be right about this.
Indeed, everyone is a little carried away!
But this is also human nature. The first time I made a movie, it made more than 200 million in box office, and I was blown away by it. It would be difficult for normal people not to feel dissatisfied.
Huang Sibo thought for a while, then typed and asked: "Then what does this have to do with shock therapy?"
Zhu Xiaoce quickly replied in the group: "Think about it, what will happen if we plan to make the next movie with our current mentality?"
"The success of "Better Tomorrow" is firstly because Mr. Pei's script is good; secondly, the inspiration accumulated by each of us burst out and achieved a super level in the process of film creation; and finally, it was our first time filming
Movies have a cautious heart."
"But what now?"
"I don't doubt that Mr. Pei can still come up with a good script, but the inspiration we accumulated has been exhausted. At the same time, we have expanded and can no longer maintain the same mentality as before."
"If you make a movie under these conditions, it will definitely be ruined!"
"Obviously, President Pei has long seen the serious imbalance in the mentality of everyone in Feihuang Studio, so he decided to use shock therapy to let us reflect and readjust the state!"
One word awakens the dreamer.
Huang Sibo suddenly felt that it made sense!
He quickly asked: "Then what should we do now? Stay at home and do nothing?"
Zhu Xiaoce: "Reflecting on oneself and restoring one's mentality is only one aspect. Another very important aspect is to supplement inspiration."
"In the film industry, it's impossible to just focus on hard work and not on methods. Without inspiration, you can only make bad movies. Not only will you not make money or gain reputation, but you will burn money and get scolded."
"Only with sufficient inspiration can we produce better works."
