After gradually understanding the temperament of the system, Pei Qian felt that he was becoming more and more comfortable in using the system.
Is this particular task difficult?
There is some difficulty, but it is still within the acceptable range!
Moreover, even if there is no special task issued by the system, Pei Qian has already had similar ideas.
Pei Qian is very clear that one of the major trends in the next ten years is that physical stores are getting worse and worse!
There are mainly two reasons for this.
First, rent prices have increased, and the cost of renting shops has increased significantly.
Second, with the rapid development of online shopping and takeout platforms, more and more people prefer to stay at home.
In the past, I could open any shop in front of the university and make a lot of money.
Even if you open a canteen or print shop, you can basically make a lot of money.
If you open an Internet cafe or a restaurant with a good reputation, your profitability will be even greater.
But later, more and more physical stores became depressed and began to close.
Because many physical store functions have been replaced by e-commerce platforms!
In the past, many college students went to nearby computer stores to buy computers, but they were so deceived that their mothers no longer even recognized them.
Later, when everyone went to Goudong, who would go to the Computer City to be tricked?
Some people still go to supermarkets to buy some daily necessities, but others choose to have them delivered directly to their door.
When it comes to eating, more and more people are ordering takeout. At most, they go to a high-end restaurant during holidays, and generally they don’t eat at roadside fly restaurants anymore.
In short, no matter what form of physical store it is, it is basically getting worse and worse, and it is a veritable sunset industry.
And this is what Pei Qian likes!
But... what kind of physical store should I set up?
The system didn't specify what it was going to do. Anyway, as long as it was a physical store, the only restriction was that it had to be located in a downtown area or around a school.
Even if it's a canteen, bookstore, print shop, etc., it's totally OK.
Pei Qian fell into a moment of thought and comprehensively analyzed the chances of success in this matter.
Although physical stores will go from bad to worse in the next ten years, if you open a physical store at this time, will you definitely be able to make a loss?
It doesn’t seem like that’s necessarily the case…
Because this is 2010, online shopping and takeout are still in their infancy, and physical stores are still quite profitable!
For example, the bookstores, small supermarkets, and Internet cafes in front of the school are all doing booming business.
Even if you just open a printing shop in a corner, you can make a lot of money...
Students usually print papers, print homework, copy certificates, etc., so they inevitably have to go to a print shop, which is a necessity.
Looking ten years from now, physical stores will probably be losing money.
But in the short term, there is great profit potential.
And Pei Qian is also confused, how to open this physical store?
If you invest less money, you will lose less; if you are lucky, you will not be able to lose even if you make a little bit;
If you invest too much money, what if the quality is significantly better than other stores and it becomes popular?
This is a technical job and requires long-term planning!
However, before opening a physical store, Pei Qian decided to implement the "first place elimination system" that he had planned for a long time.
Originally I just wanted to recruit a bunch of bastards, but in the end they all turned out to be potential stocks. Is this okay?
Especially these two people, Bao Xu and Huang Sibo, will have endless troubles if they stay!
With the two of them here, it’s really difficult for Tenda’s game business to lose money!
As for Lin Wan... we can still observe it a little more.
After all, she was able to contact those players before just because she happened to be responsible for liaison work in this area when she was at Tianhuo Studio.
If it were a different project, her contacts would be completely useless.
So Pei Qian was thinking about how to arrange Bao Xu and Huang Sibo.
Firing him on the spot will definitely not work, nor will he be demoted.
There is no evidence and no reasonable reason can be given, so the system cannot agree to it.
Pei Qian fell into deep thought.
…
February 1st, Monday.
Workspace.
"Brother Huang, look, there are a lot of people online discussing our game intensely. It seems there are also many people in the industry?"
Xiao Lu browsed the web page, as if he had found some big news.
Huang Sibo nodded: "I know, I've been watching."
Huang Sibo looked at Bao Xu: "Brother Bao, what do you think?"
Bao Xu's expression was calm: "What does it have to do with us?"
Huang Sibo thought for a while, yes, what does it have to do with us!
There are indeed many people on the Internet having a heated debate surrounding "Sea Fortress". This issue has been hot for almost half a month and has not stopped since the game was launched.
At first, the players of "Sea Fortress" and "Bullet Trace" were yelling at each other, but they kept arguing, and somehow the topic became more and more popular...
At the beginning, everyone was arguing about which of the two games "Sea Fortress" and "Bullet Trace" was better.
After a lot of arguing, there was no such thing as "Bullet Marks"...
Everyone began to debate whether "Sea Fortress" is the industry's conscience or a cancer?
Many people from other game companies participated in the discussion.
If you click on a post at random, you can see that the two groups of people are quarreling in it.
""Sea Fortress" is very likely to be the initiator of the 'Great Era of Money' for domestic games!"
"A permanent weapon sells for 888, which can be said to be unprecedented! And as an FPS game, it actually sells attributes? Does this company still have any love and ethics for games?"
"Other games will be scolded by you for making in-app purchases worth two to three hundred yuan. How come this game makes 888 a weapon and you still lick it?"
"And the servers of this game are always full, stuck, and garbage!"
"How many people have bought this game? It's obviously a garbage game with a lot of krypton money, but it's still touted as the light of domestic FPS games??"
But these views will soon be refuted.
"A rubbish game that costs money? Haha, it seems you haven't played it at all!"
"Yes, I am the sailor of "Sea Fortress", tap water, what's wrong?"
"Let me emphasize, why do you say this game is conscience? Because it only sells one 888 weapon, and all other content is free! For those of you who make in-app purchases, you can even turn the page of product items. Can this be the same thing?
"
"The story mode of this game has a lot of shadows of 3A masterpieces, and it is very well done. How can you get 200 yuan for selling a 3A masterpiece? This one can be cut in half and sold for 100 yuan, or even 50 yuan. It is reasonable."
"But this silly company is completely free! The story mode is free for everyone to experience! Isn't this a conscience?"
"The weapons of 888 are nothing more than transferring all the money that everyone had to pay to the local tyrants. Moreover, when the tycoons buy this weapon, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. Isn't everyone happy?"
"As for the person who said the server is stuck, I'm sorry, "Sea Fortress" is no longer stuck! I guess I rented a new server and expanded the bandwidth!"
"Hey, there are some people nowadays who just don't know what their priorities are. If a company develops games and provides services, you can't use love to generate electricity, right? They waived the threshold fee for you and passed it on to the rich, but you're still not happy with the result?"
…
Whether it is a cancer in the industry or a conscience in the industry, no conclusion was reached in the end.
But no matter what, with everyone being so noisy, the popularity of the game has actually increased!
The key is that 888's Fire Kirin is so topical that many passers-by who don't care about the game will subconsciously remember the name of the game when they hear that a weapon in this game is sold at 888.
Therefore, the data of "Sea Fortress" continues to rise!
Huang Sibo was originally worried that these quarrels would affect the reputation of "Sea Fortress".
But now it seems that not only did it not affect word-of-mouth, but it also had an objective communication effect!
Huang Sibo was relieved, it seemed that everything should be according to Mr. Pei's plan!
At this time, Pei Qian walked out of his office.
Mr. Pei, who is wearing new glasses (frames), seems to have a more confident and confident temperament, which makes Huang Sibo admire him from the bottom of his heart.
"Everyone, take a look at the internal group. I initiated a poll."
"This is a secret ballot, please select the employee you think is the best."
Pei Qian smiled and said, "There is a mysterious reward."
