Chapter 205 - Boss Pei Releases Information (1/2)

A waiter plucked up the courage to say, “Don’t worry, Boss Pei. We will never betray Fish-Catching Internet Cafe! I will turn him down at once!”

Another waiter nodded and said, “That’s right! Boss Pei, you have treated us exceedingly well. As long as you don’t give up on us, we will never sell information about any of Fish-Catching Internet Cafe’s branches!”

Looking at these people’s determined expressions, Pei Qian cursed in his heart.

Don’t! You should sell as much as you can. That’s exactly what I want!

What is the other party buying information on the Ming Yun Villas branch for? Isn’t it to do harm to it?

That’s just as well! It could help Ming Yun Villas incur more losses. I couldn’t ask for anything better.

When the time comes, a few waiters would have made more money and Pei Qian would have lost more money. Wouldn’t that be a win-win situation?

Pei Qian waved his hand and said, “No need. Sell the information for as much as you can earn. Don’t be kind to them. Otherwise, negotiate and ask them for more than three thousand yuan.”

The waiters were confused.

What’s this? Was Boss Pei giving them permission to sell information?

One of the waiters thought about it, and a realization dawned upon him. “I know, Boss Pei! You’re going to come up with a scheme! Do you want us to sell fake information and lead them on?”

Pei Qian smiled without saying a word.

Fake information?

Not fake information – I’m talking about true information. Just do your best to sell information about this branch.

Pei Qian took out his phone and started recording without changing his expression.

“Coincidentally, I wanted to tell all of you about the future arrangements for Fish-Catching Internet Cafe.

“In the next few months, the branch at Ming Yun Villas will become our utmost priority among the entire Fish-Catching Internet Cafe business. At the same time, our internet cafe business is going to continue in full force!

“Although the flagship store is doing extremely well now, only the bar is doing well. The internet cafe is not.”

He turned to Ma Yang and said, “Old Ma, didn’t you always hope that Fish-Catching Internet Cafe would be turned into a bar? I never agreed because of this. High-end internet cafes do not seem as popular now, but they will definitely be the future of our business!

“I predict that in less than a year, these high-end internet cafes would replace traditional internet cafes. They’ll become the mainstream in the market!”

There was some truth to what Pei Qian was saying, but there were also lies.

Cheap internet cafes would indeed have to be converted to high-end internet cafes in the future in order to remain competitive and stay mainstream. However, this transition would not be complete in the next one or two years.

According to Pei Qian’s memory, such high-end internet cafes would only begin to get popular in 2012. In about 2014 to 2015, they would expand outwards from first-tier cities to second tier-cities. Only they were slowly and increasingly accepted by the majority.

Thus, as Pei Qian understood the situation, he would be incurring losses for another two years or so.

So what if this was the future of internet cafes? He could incur losses for two years, and that was great. He could talk about the future next time.

Pei Qian continued speaking. “What happened with Fish-Catching Internet Cafe’s flagship store was a pleasant surprise. Honestly, it was not within my plans.”

This was 100% the truth.

“Given the flagship store’s success, there has been a huge disturbance in our customer traffic and the like. We can no longer test out our internet cafe model at the flagship store. That is why I chose the Ming Yun Villas branch to test out the internet cafe model. At the moment, it looks like this branch is doing the worst.

“Our goal is to focus on the surrounding high-end villas and university. We will fully display the benefits of a high-end internet cafe like Fish-Catching Internet Cafe here.
