Chapter 546 It's our turn to copy Mr. Wang's answer!
Pei Qian only has one feeling now, that is, I am really stupid, really.
I simply thought that as long as Mingyun Private Kitchen’s reservations were full, there would be no way for me to make more money.
I never expected that Dianping would intervene!
The topic of Dianping.com, coupled with a little hype, turned the fame of the unknown restaurant into real traffic, and then guided it into other industries of Tenda, and it turned into real money.
!
What's even more outrageous is that this topic seems to have exposed some information in advance.
That’s the Panic Hostel!
Pei Qian's original plan was to secretly carry out the construction of the Panic Hostel. Even if Mr. Li and the others wanted to publicize it, they would have to worry about it when it was almost completed.
But now that I add it to this topic, it has already been exposed!
Of course, the Panic Hostel has not yet been completed. Most of the projects are currently undergoing intense finishing work. The completion of the Golden Maze is even lower, and it will take at least nearly a month before it can be opened for trial operation.
But the problem is that reservations for Mingyun Private Kitchen cannot be made just by wanting to make an appointment...
Now that we are doing a special feature, many people have started to make reservations. By the time they come to the Wuming Restaurant for dinner, the Panic Hostel has already officially opened for business, and the time is just right.
Pei Qian looked at Li Shi with a smile on his face and realized that this guy was definitely responsible for this.
Otherwise, why would Wang Peng deliberately add such a low-key project like Panic Hostel to this topic?
Mr. Li must be talking too much!
However, looking at the friendly smiles on their faces, Pei Qian didn't know what to say, but he just felt a little tired.
"Mr. Wang, thank you very much."
"If there's nothing else, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Pei Qian said with a bit of gritted teeth.
Wang Peng was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "Okay, Mr. Pei, if you have any questions about the topic, you can contact me at any time!"
After watching Mr. Pei leave, Wang Peng scratched his head and was a little confused: "Mr. Li, why doesn't Mr. Pei look happy at all?"
Li Shi chuckled: "It's okay, Mr. Wang, you don't have much to do with Mr. Pei. If you deal with Mr. Pei as often as I do, you will get used to it."
"Mr. Pei is a very good actor. He doesn't express his emotions or anger. When he has a good attitude towards you, he often hides his secret behind his smile. You must be vigilant at this time."
"On the contrary, if you give him tangible benefits, he will not react on the surface, and may even appear cold, but he will always repay you in other ways afterwards."
"A business wizard, how can his thoughts be easily understood by ordinary people? He must wear a mask to hide it. Only people who have been with him for a long time can understand his true inner thoughts."
Wang Peng suddenly said: "Oh! So that's it! According to Mr. Li, can I be friends with Mr. Pei in the future?"
Li Shi smiled: "At least Mr. Wang, you are going in the right direction."
Wang Peng nodded silently, thinking that he was lucky to have a friend like Mr. Li as a guide.
Otherwise, I really don’t understand these aspects of Mr. Pei’s character!
…
Pei Qian left Moyu Internet Cafe and went straight to Moyu Takeout Store No. 1.
Because just now he suddenly realized something very dangerous.
Dianping’s special recommendations include Moyu takeout!
Now Moyu takeout is Mr. Pei’s favorite. If he makes money, why shouldn’t he go into shock on the spot?
You must immediately confirm the safety of Moyu takeout!
Pei Qian was a little confused at first. Logically speaking, Dianping should also have a takeout business, right? Shouldn't Moyu Takeout be classified as a competitor? How can you recommend Moyu Takeout stores?
But after carefully checking it on Qiandu and combining it with some previous memories, Pei Qian probably figured it out.
Today’s Dianping has nothing to do with takeout.
It must have been three or four years since Dianping issued a joint statement with a certain food delivery software, announcing a strategic cooperation. Now the two are still competitors, and they cannot compete with each other in the two concepts of "group buying" and "local life platform"
Open business.
What's more, the current positioning of Moyu takeout in the eyes of outsiders should be more like a fast food service such as "home delivery", not a takeout platform.
Because Moyu Takeaway actually only delivers its own meals and does not invite merchants to settle in, nor does it engage in things like rating, scoring, and sorting, the general direction is obviously not to compete with Dianping.
That’s why Dianping is willing to arrange so many recommendations for Moyu Takeout.
In short, it’s better to determine the safety of taking out food first!
First, ask Rui Yuchen in person, and then ask the insurance manager to verify it. Once you find any signs of profit from Moyu Takeout, you must take decisive measures to nip it in the bud!
As for what specific decisive measures to take...
We can only look at the situation and take advantage of it.
Soon, Pei Qian came to Moyu Takeout Store No. 1, which is where the Food Laboratory is located.
"Mr. Pei?"
Rui Yuchen appeared as a waiter again, and was a little surprised to see Mr. Pei coming in person.
Two customers who had just left seemed to have eaten the new products of the food laboratory and made some comments. Rui Yuchen was carefully recording them and preparing to submit them to the food laboratory for improvement.
Pei Qian decided to keep the story short: "Nothing special, I just wanted to ask about the current situation of Moyu Takeout."
Rui Yuchen thought for a moment: "Everything goes well, Mr. Pei, and everything is going according to the script in your plan."
Pei Qian: "..."
God is following my script. Do you know what my script is?
My script is to keep Moyu Takeaway losing money and never make it back for me!
Pei Qian coughed twice: "What's more accurate? There should be no surplus on the books at the moment, right?"
Rui Yuchen nodded: "Don't worry, Mr. Pei, I have used all the funds, including the funds you allocated, to open the branch in strict accordance with your requirements. I will never save any money!"
Pei Qian felt a little relieved and asked: "Then, how big of a gap is there to achieve a turnaround?"
"Uh..." Rui Yuchen pondered for a moment, "This is not easy to predict, Mr. Pei, I can only say that even if everything goes well, it is unlikely to turn losses into profits in the next few months. After all, too much money was burned in the early stage.
, various expenses such as opening a store, staff wages, etc. are very..."
Rui Yuchen gave a brief introduction to the current situation. In short, the cost of taking out fish food has always been high. The profit is already low. If you want to turn losses into profits, you need to at least increase the number of customers significantly on the current basis.
Okay, I don’t see this possibility in the short term.
Pei Qian nodded slightly: "Then, what if Dianping wants to give Moyu Takeaway a special, long-term recommendation?"
Rui Yuchen's eyes lit up: "Really?"
Pei Qian's mouth twitched slightly: "What will happen?"
Rui Yuchen thought about it carefully: "Well, of course it is a good thing to have this kind of recommendation. It will give you more exposure. But this kind of recommendation is more of a long-term, subtle effect, and the effect in the short term will not be particularly obvious."
"However, it is certainly a good thing that Mr. Pei can get such a recommendation for Moyu Takeout!"
Pei Qian let out a sigh of relief.
Well, as long as there isn't much danger in the short term.
I now have high hopes for Moyu Takeout, so I must not let anything go wrong.
Hearing Rui Yuchen say that even under the best-case scenario, it would take several months to turn a profit, and some stores would turn a profit, which made Pei Qian feel more confident.
Then you can worry about other things, such as hosting a gym...
After all, the impact of this comprehensive review was too large, and it basically included all the projects of Tenda Group that were still losing money.
Fortunately, the Sloth Apartment project was very low-key and had almost no publicity, so it was able to escape disaster for the time being.
"I understand, just keep the status quo and continue!"
…
After watching Mr. Pei leave, Rui Yuchen was full of energy again.
It seems that Mr. Pei still attaches great importance to fish delivery!
Although Mr. Pei is busy with work, he still came to No. 1 Store to inquire. The most important thing is that he actually got such an important recommendation from Dianping. This is very helpful for the long-term planning of Moyu Takeout!
Rui Yuchen synthesized the improvement plans he had collected before and gave them to the chef to make a new one based on the improvement plans.
Just as I stopped to rest for a while, I looked up and saw an acquaintance again.
"Brother Lin?"
"You're a little late. Mr. Pei just left five minutes ago."
Rui Yuchen asked Lin Canrong to sit down.
Lin Canrong was a little surprised: "Mr. Pei has been here before? That's such a pity. I also want to thank him in person and tell me about my new insights."
Rui Yuchen: "It doesn't matter, Mr. Pei is not someone who cares about these little details. What do you want to thank Mr. Pei for?"
Lin Canrong said seriously: "Of course I want to thank Mr. Pei for helping me find my true and correct position in the catering industry!"
Rui Yuchen was stunned for a moment: "Huh? What should I say?"
Lin Canrong took a sip of his drink and asked, "You should know about the foreign food bloggers, right?"
Rui Yuchen nodded: "Yes, I heard something."
Lin Canrong has discussed with Rui Yuchen before that Mr. Pei's true intention of not letting Mingyun Private Kitchen open a branch is because the rare resource of this kind of high-end restaurant lies in the chefs. The chefs of Mingyun Private Kitchen are all poached from all over the country at high prices. This kind of
Talents cannot be mass-produced, so it is impossible to guarantee quality when opening a branch.
After Lin Canrong understood this, he invested all his money in employee training, and it really paid off.
But obviously, Lin Canrong now has a new understanding.
"Before, I thought that Mr. Pei's thinking only went to this point. Now I find that I only understood it to this point!"
"I originally thought that if Ming Yun Private Kitchen was recommended by a well-known foreign food blogger, it would at best allow Ming Yun Private Kitchen to have more foreign customers and increase its reputation."
"But when I saw what Mr. Wang of Dianping did, I was deeply inspired and realized that there is a way to do it!"
"Convert word-of-mouth into popularity; convert popularity into traffic; and then use traffic to transform into other tangible benefits!"
"The premise of all this is that Mingyun Private Kitchen can provide customers with the best taste and become a high-end catering brand widely recognized by the public!"
Rui Yuchen nodded: "Well, that's it. What next?"
Lin Canrong smiled slightly: "Mr. Wang has already shown us the correct solution to Mr. Pei's idea. The next step is of course copying the homework!"
"Let's go back to the original question and think about it carefully."
"Since Mr. Pei knows that Mingyun Private Kitchen cannot make more money if he continues to invest, why do he keep investing money here? Obviously he wants more reputation, and more reputation can bring popularity and popularity.
More profit…”
"Obviously, Mr. Pei has long thought of the plan of exchanging word-of-mouth for popularity, traffic, and income from other places, and he is waiting for us to solve it."
“It’s just that Mr. Wang from Dianping guessed it before we did!”
"Actually, if you think about it carefully, this should be a surprise, because Mr. Pei's routine seems more like it was prepared for us!"
"Now I understand, the branch I have been struggling with has always been there. Isn't it just a takeaway?"
Rui Yuchen was stunned: "Brother Lin, what do you mean..."
Lin Canrong smiled slightly: "There are only a limited number of great chefs. If you open a new store and you can't find such great chefs and can't use such precious ingredients, what's the difference between it and taking out a fish?"
"Although we are not in the same department, we are both catering. If we can use the reputation of Mingyun Private Kitchen, that is, the nameless restaurant, to transform part of it into Moyu takeout, and then create an affordable version, wouldn't this also meet President Pei's expectations?
