Chapter 524 - Boss Pei, You are Obviously Watching, but are Pretending to be Indifferent (1/2)
This Boss Li really comes up with new tricks from time to time!
In the past, he would take the initiative to tell me when he was planning to create trouble. Now, he’s actually taking care of them directly with my underlings?
Is there still law in this country? Is there still order?
Does anyone care?!
Pei Qian was livid because he did not want any of this income!
He would have set the ticket prices for the entire Thriller Hostel for free had it not been forbidden by the system. He was now gifted a shopping mall inexplicably and fifty percent of all the profits in the mall. It was no different from getting struck by lightning out of nowhere!
Pei Qian had no plans at all to sell the peripherals even though they could make a profit!
Great, now he was being forced to put a square peg into a round hole.
Anyone could rent these old industrial zones. Boss Li and the others could open shops as they liked. They might not be able to sell anything linked to the copyright of the Thriller Hostel, but they could still sell a lot of other goods. They would be able to make money all the same as long as there was human traffic.
Yet, now everyone was setting up a store together and selling things together. In Boss Li’s view, the investors might suffer a loss in the distribution of the profits, but as long as this plate was made larger, the total amount would be a win-win situation for everyone. However, Pei Qian did not think so. Wasn’t this an inexplicable huge profit forced in?
Pissed off.
Luckily, Pei Qian had been really experienced in this and had calmed down in no time.
Thinking from another point of view-in the beginning, the Thriller Hostel was to be running at a loss. If the Thriller Hostel would not make money, the shopping malls would naturally not make money. There is nothing to worry about.
Conversely, if the mall made money, it meant that the Thriller Hostel itself had become popular and had already made more money in tickets…
There is no difference between fifty steps and a hundred so there is nothing to be antagonized over.
Pei Qian tried to enlighten himself, but it had no effect on him. The more he thought about it, the more he felt he had suffered a loss and the angrier he became!
Boss Li had to accept revenge for this backstab!
Pei Qian tried his best to keep the bottleneck as he told the Manage Loss Trainee in charge of Thriller Hostel “Tell me the cooperation plan in detail.”
The Manage Loss Trainee replied, “Boss Li and the other investors had rented an old factory building in a good location. They proposed to pay for the rent and the renovation while we provide the plan for the renovation.”
Pei Qian was thoughtful upon hearing this. He seemed to have found a point of breakthrough. “Do you have the rendering for the renovation?”
The Manage Loss Trainee fished out his phone. “Yes, Boss Pei, please take a look.”
Pei Qian reached out and took the phone to look at the rendering on it. The style of a standard high-end shopping mall, soft lighting, clean environment, a dazzling array of shelves filled with goods, tourists come and go, choosing goods and enthusiastic shopping guide ladies… Yes, this rendering had a huge number of tourists drawn on it. That pricked Pei Qian as though he had already seen the super popular shopping mall.
That could not happen!
Think about it, these tourists were frightened half to death when they went to the haunted house. It was the time when they were mentally weak. It would be like entering heaven if they were to enter this mall after that.
They would be surrounded by a huge sense of security after all their previous fears were wiped out. Why would they not splurge like crazy in such circumstances?
Pei Qian considered for a short while before replying. “This renovation plan will definitely not do; it requires a huge change! They have yet to start the work, right?”
The Manage Loss Trainee nodded. “Not yet, Boss Pei. This is only the initial draft. It will require modification before work starts, probably at the end of the month.”
Pei Qian checked the date; there was still one week. It should be no problem recreating the plan of the designer if he worked a little harder.
“The current renovation plan is too shabby. Renovate it completely in accordance with the specifications of foreign luxury shopping malls. It must be graceful, luxurious, and magnificent. It has to be as expensive as it can
get!
“Of course, there is no need to choose too troublesome materials. Just get the expensive materials to ensure that we will be able to hit the date completion date. Customers will definitely be able to feel our sincerity.
“In addition, such a shopping-mall style is too common. There is nothing new at all, which is completely inconsistent with the Thriller Hostel theme.
“Transform the entire mall into a maze and hide all the peripheral goods within the maze. Make it so that most customers would not be able to find the store and would exit accidentally. “Hmm, I think you better not say anything, I’ll let Chen Kangtuo know.”
Pei Qian emphasized that the identity of the Manage Loss Trainees should not be revealed. As to why such a design scheme was chosen… the reason was very simple. Make Boss Li and the others bleed out by selling as little as possible!
Renovations cost a lot in the first place. The costs would only snowball now that it had become a maze filled with walls.
Hmph, who asked you to backstab me?!
Don’t blame me for doing things harshly since you asked Tengda to come up with the plan while you pay for the renovations!
Wouldn’t you continue to pester me endlessly if I did not cause you to lose big?
The main reason was that this group of investors followed Boss Pei wherever he invested. Many projects, which were originally not profitable, became profitable because of them.
Once the myth of Boss Pei’s invincibility was shattered and Boss Li and the rest suffered a huge loss, these people would naturally disperse. Boss Pei would then be able to find his happy little corner to lose money.
All the Manage Loss Trainees completed their reports in no time.
Pei Qian could not help but feel relieved from the bottom of his heart after summarizing the contents of today’s meeting.
Great, the Manage Loss Trainees system had achieved initial results!
If it was not for these Manage Loss Trainees, Pei Qian would not have grasped the latest developments of Fish-Catching Take-Out fitness meals or the situation at the Thriller Hostel
Boss Pei’s degree of control over the various projects had significantly been enhanced with the Manage Loss Trainees. None of the clues of making profits would be able to escape Boss Pei’s eyes!
Of course, it was difficult to change things that had already happened. However, no matter what, it was a huge improvement from his previous situation!
