Pei Qian picked up the red wine on the table with slightly trembling hands and took a sip to calm down.
Well, why do I always feel like "it's true"...
It has been more than once or twice that I have been hit by sudden bad news at a dinner party, and it seems that I have gained a certain degree of resistance.
However, Mr. Pei, who has experienced hundreds of battles, will definitely not give up resistance just like this.
If Mr. Pei doesn’t make a decision on this matter, then there is still room for change!
Pei Qian put down the red wine glass: "Are you sure you want to cooperate with those furniture brands and real estate companies?"
"Don't think about it anymore?"
"This idea seems not very perfect."
As for what to consider specifically, Pei Qian himself is not very clear. Anyway, he is thinking about how to make less or even no money, but he can't find a suitable excuse.
When Mr. Pei can't figure it out, he needs to reversely use the employees' brainstorming effect.
Song Kai was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Yes, Mr. Pei, why not?"
“Real estate companies are notoriously wealthy!”
"As for furniture companies, although many brands are not well-known, their profits are very high and there is a lot of room for price reduction. We help customers get lower prices and we can also get a share. Why not?"
Pei Qian's face turned dark.
Didn’t I know that real estate companies are notoriously wealthy?
Didn’t I know that many furniture brands are very profitable?
If you keep emphasizing this, I won’t agree even more!
Song Kai looked confused, and Liang Qingfan also fell into deep thought.
The scene was a little awkward for a while.
Pei Qian felt that it was not good to remain silent like this, so he wanted to send them back to eat first. He put this matter aside for the time being and thought about it slowly.
After all, the longer you think about it, the later you will make money. You can put it off as long as you can.
But at this moment, Lu Mingliang, who had been listening silently, spoke.
He sighed softly: "You two are new to Tengda, so the style of doing things has not yet moved closer to the Tengda spirit. No wonder you can't understand the profound meaning of Mr. Pei's words."
Song Kai and Liang Qingfan were stunned for a moment, then showed a humble and studious expression: "Mr. Lu, can you give me some advice?"
Pei Qian also looked at Lu Mingliang, with a question mark floating above his head.
?
I invite you here just to make up for the meal, so don’t let me interpret it blindly!
Oh, it's Lu Mingliang, that's okay.
If it were people like Lin Wan, Huang Sibo, and Bao Xu, Pei Qian might consider interrupting them and not letting them continue talking.
Because when these people interpret it, something will often happen!
But Lu Mingliang's words are still trusted by Mr. Pei, and I can allow you to say a few more words.
Lu Mingliang sorted out his thoughts and said: "Actually, when I first heard about this profit model, I was also surprised. It was indeed unexpected."
"But after thinking about it carefully, I realized a problem. The profit model you are thinking of now may only be a small part of Mr. Pei's original idea."
Pei Qian: "..."
Liang Qingfan and Song Kai were in awe and listened more carefully.
Lu Mingliang continued: "Congratulations to both of you, you have entered Mr. Pei's thinking field and realized the second most valuable asset of Tenda Group: trust."
"Tengda has long insisted on operating with integrity and never engages in fraud, and has established a good reputation among customers. Therefore, even if it enters a new industry, customers will tend to trust us."
"'Tengda's properties may be more expensive, and the price/performance ratio may be worse, but they will never be a rip-off.' This is customers' trust in Tenda, and it is also our second most valuable asset."
Song Kai raised his hand cautiously and asked, "Sorry to interrupt, but what is our most valuable asset...?"
Lu Mingliang was a little confused and thought, do I still need to explain this clearly?
But he found that Song Kai really didn't guess it, so he had to explain helplessly: "Of course it's Mr. Pei's head."
Song Kai suddenly understood and nodded sharply.
Yes, I didn’t think of such a simple question!
Pei Qian: "..."
I didn't know what to say for a moment.
Lu Mingliang continued: "It is precisely because of customers' trust in Tenda that Tenda can succeed in various new fields. So this trust itself is valuable. Use the Sloth Apartment brand to cooperate with other furniture manufacturers and real estate companies
, its essence is to use customers’ trust in us to endorse these enterprises.”
"In an ideal world, this is indeed a win-win situation: as an intermediary, we help build a bridge of mutual trust between consumers and manufacturers. The manufacturers make less money and make small profits but quick turnover. Consumers benefit from it, and we can also benefit from it.
"
"But the question is, how do we ensure that this kind of cooperation is always under ideal conditions? If a manufacturer cooperates well with us at the beginning, but slowly finds that it is easy to make money this way, as long as it cuts corners a little bit, it can make a lot of profits, and consumers
It’s also hard to find..."
"So, how do we ensure that the companies we cooperate with do not deteriorate?"
"Once this kind of thing is exposed, it will pollute Tengda's water source and shake the foundation of Tengda's livelihood. The gain outweighs the loss."
"Don't believe that these companies have the same conscience as Tenda. The lesson of Zhujia Group's Anfang has only passed two days, right?"
Liang Qingfan and Song Kai suddenly realized.
This is indeed a huge hidden danger!
In fact, the two of them are more or less aware of this problem, but on the one hand, it is because it is only the advocacy stage of cooperation and no formal agreement has been reached; on the other hand, they have thought about it but did not pay enough attention to it.
I think other companies are too kind, so I don't think about this in depth.
But now after hearing Lu Mingliang's words, the two of them were instantly alert.
It turns out that Pei is always worried about this!
They couldn't help but look at Mr. Pei, and found that Mr. Pei was holding a glass of wine and meditating, looking enigmatic.
I couldn't help but feel even more awe-struck.
However, Pei Qianshi was thinking about another issue.
When he heard "shaking the foundation of Tengda's life", he felt a little moved.
It sounds like it’s easy to lose money if you do this!
Due to the restrictions of the system, Pei Qian's own industry must not engage in fraud or deceive consumers by passing off quality goods. However, if this happens to other companies that cooperate with Tenda without Pei Qian's knowledge, the system does not seem to have the ability to do so.
Clearly stipulated.
That said, this appears to be a vulnerability...
But this thought only passed by for a moment before Pei Qian completely suppressed it.
I only lose money, not my conscience.
Let those shoddy junk companies use my name to cheat? That is absolutely not okay!
Let them roll as far as they can!
However, after listening to Lu Mingliang's words, Pei Qian suddenly thought of a new idea.
Now that Liang Qingfan and Song Kai have opened up a new business scope for Sloth Apartment, I have to take advantage of you in turn!
Just like when rof was installed, Zhang Yuan originally planned to use the brand effect of Moyu Internet Cafe to create an installed brand to make money, but Pei Qian instead used rof to install a 1024 Programmers Festival, achieving the purpose of spending money unexpectedly.
.
Of course, there is no need to mention what happened next.
At least under the circumstances at the time, this decision was very successful!
It just so happens that we can follow the question raised by Lu Mingliang and use it to make some use of it.
According to the unspoken rules of the system, when an industry can establish a good reputation, the system will significantly relax the profit requirements of this industry, such as Headwind Logistics.
Thinking of this, Pei Qian said: "Sloth Apartment can consider cooperating with home decoration brands and real estate companies, but it must have very strict requirements."
"Specially recruit people to set up an investigation team to conduct in-depth investigations into the true situation of each brand and understand their actual profits and operating conditions before cooperation."
"The inspection team must regularly rotate the areas they are responsible for to prevent the occurrence of fraud."
"We will bear all the expenses for the inspection team, including food, clothing, housing and transportation, and we must not expose our identities."
"Even after the cooperation is concluded, the inspection team will conduct random and anonymous spot checks on a regular basis. Customers are also welcome to actively report. Once any situation that does not meet the standards is found, the contract will be terminated immediately, and all losses of the customer will be held accountable."
"All terms must be clearly written into the contract at the beginning of the cooperation. If you do not accept these terms, you will not be allowed to cooperate with Tenda."
"As long as there is any problem with the cooperation, it will be the responsibility of the two of you."
Liang Qingfan and Song Kai's expressions became serious: "Yes! Mr. Pei!"
Obviously, once this standard is released, I am afraid that the number of furniture brands and real estate companies that actually cooperate with Tenda will become very few, or even non-existent.
Who would sign a contract with so many rules and regulations?
These home decoration brands and real estate companies are making money on their own. It is good to have the sign of Sloth Apartment, but if not, it will not hinder others from making money.
Now just to use your Sloth Apartment as a sign, I end up having to accept all kinds of supervision from you and be responsible for compensation if problems are discovered. Why?
However, Liang Qingfan and Song Kai felt that Mr. Pei's request was reasonable, because without signing such a contract, there was no guarantee that these cooperative enterprises would keep their promises.
In this world, there are very few companies like Tengda that can always firmly insist on not caring about immediate profits but only long-term interests.
But this is precisely the most respectable thing about Tengda.
Lu Mingliang couldn't help but nodded slightly, "Very good, these two people in charge have gradually felt the true meaning of Tengda spirit!"
Pei Qian took a sip of red wine to calm down his shock. He never expected that such a big thing would happen in Sloth Apartment.
I originally thought that this was a project that would definitely hit the street, but now it seems that I still lack a little imagination.
Or... is this world too imaginative?
So the question is, should this Sloth Apartment continue to operate?
Judging from the current situation, Sloth Apartment can indeed burn money, because buying a building can cost a lot of money at once, and the money will not be recovered for a while.
However, the sloth apartment model also has great risks. Just like today, if a certain business expands suddenly, another huge undiscovered market may appear, and the profits will be directly thrown in your face.
Pei Qian couldn't help but fell into a dilemma.
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Pei. I have something else here that I want to pass on to you." Song Kai suddenly remembered something, took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Pei Qian.
Pei Qian was stunned for a moment and reached out to take it.
There is no stamp or signature, just a simple envelope with a thank you letter inside.
"Hello:"
"I am a victim of a 'formaldehyde room'. In fact, I have been fighting against a 'formaldehyde room' for a long time before the sloth apartment appeared. I spent a lot of time and energy, but with little success."
"There's nothing I can do about it, the voices of ordinary people are still too soft."
"I am very grateful to the kind people on the Internet for speaking out about this matter; I am also grateful to Sloth Apartment for providing me with a more worry-free and secure solution. I no longer need to argue with the housing group to defend my rights.
Just give up the housing group and choose sloth apartments.”
“I sincerely hope that Sloth Apartment can go out of Jingzhou as soon as possible so that tenants across the country can rent a house with peace of mind!”
There is no signature, so there is no way to know who wrote it.
Pei Qian was silent for a moment, folded the letter, put it back into the envelope, and handed it back to Song Kai.
"Keep this letter well and don't lose it."
"Sloth Apartment will definitely work hard to let all tenants rent a house with peace of mind!"
Chapter completed!
