Chapter 590 - Welcoming the DGE Club (1/2)
Chapter 590: Welcoming the DGE Club
July 18th, Monday…
Pei Qian came to the office early in the morning and was in a good mood. He even hummed a little song on the road. He gave Old Qiao a good deceiving yesterday.
It might be wrong to deceive others, but Pei Qian could not help it. He had repeatedly emphasized to Teacher Qiao that the video was okay and asked Teacher Qiao to give up, but the latter did not believe him!
Pei Qian did not dare let Teacher Qiao comprehend what he meant by himself. It would be much worse if he realized something terrible.
Therefore, Pei Qian came up with a plan to expel wolves by welcoming tigers!
Didn’t you want to know how this video could be brought back to life?
That could be done, as long as you stop making videos on ‘Products of the Gods’ and ‘Struggle’.
Pei Qian knew very well that Teacher Qiao would definitely over-interpret Struggle once it was released. The next Products of the Gods would definitely feature it.
If that was the case, why not take the initiative to strike?
Replace a video that was likely to make ‘Struggle’ popular with a random video. That would be bloody profitable!
He looked at Teacher Qiao and realized that he must have been convinced.
It was famous that Boss Pei’s words were golden, oh no, had the ability to turn stones into gold. Tengda’s employees and Qiao Liang believed firmly in it.
Pei Qian suddenly felt that everything seemed to be going smoothly for him. It was as though it was his turn to be offensive.
So happy!
Pei Qian checked the situation of each industry again after coming to the office while he waited for Rui Yuchen to arrive.
Fei Huang Workspace, in shock therapy…
Fish-Catching Take-Out, loss…
Upwind Logistics, loss…
Fully-Automated Bickering Machine, loss…
‘Top Student, Come Quick’, about to turn cold…
Thriller Hostel, can make a small profit but was not popular so it was still too early to recover the huge investment in the early stages…
DGE E-Sports Club, loss…
Deposit Fitness, seemed to be making more money but it was still at a loss…
Sloth Apartments, loss…
It seemed like there had not been a single project that was popular in this cycle after he carefully counted!
That was really a historical win!
Of course, there were some departments like Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, gaming department, and novel websites that were still profiting enormously. However, those were all problems left over from history to be solved slowly in the future.
Moreover, these departments basically spent all of their money. For example, Fish-Catching Internet Cafe was working hard opening branches even if it was making money. However, the breakeven became longer. In theory, it would definitely not generate profit if they opened branches fast enough.
Thriller Hostel—which encouraged so many dangers—actually managed to pull through and not become popular. That was a happy surprise, which gave Boss Pei a shot in the arm.
It was the first time Pei Qian had such a great feeling.
Knock, knock.
Someone knocked on the door. Pei Qian looked up. It was Rui Yuchen as expected. He knew that Rui Yuchen would definitely come and report to him on Monday.
Rui Yuchen handed over the document in his hand.
“Boss Pei, I’ll report the current status of Fish-Catching Take-Out.
“At present, Food Harmony has been launched in several flagship stores. Our reputation is good, but the profit gap is relatively large. It seems like… it is not easy to promote it.
“As for the branches, Fish-Catching Take-Out’s branches had been opened in several representative first- to third-tier cities, which gives us a base in most cities.
“From current data, Fish-Catching Take-Out’s popularity is positively correlated with the size of the city. In other words, we are most popular in first-tier cities while we fare the worst in third-tier cities.
“Moreover, Fish-Catching Take-Out in the same area seems to be competing for resources.”
Pei Qian looked at the information and nodded frequently.
Good news!
Food Harmony’s destiny was set. They had a good reputation, but they would definitely not make money.
Moreover, what made Pei Qian happier was the situation with Fish-Catching Take-Out.
Previously, Pei Qian allowed Rui Yuchen to spend money openly, and Rui Yuchen did not disappoint—opening Fish-Catching Take-Out branches all across the country.
The result this time could be seen as setting their base everywhere.
Pei Qian felt that the information basically met his expectations. The healthy, exquisite, and high-value meals like Fish-Catching Take-Out were definitely more popular in larger cities.
That was because there were a large number of white-collar workers and young people in the cities. They did not like to cook yet had a demand for healthy food. At the same time, they were not so sensitive towards prices so they would definitely welcome Fish-Catching Take-Out.
The young in third-tier cities were originally lesser. Their overall income was relatively lower, and it was not very possible for them to eat Fish-Catching Take-Out.
At the same time, a city with more Fish-Catching Take-Out would squeeze and grab resources from each other.
Because there were only so many customers ordering Fish-Catching Take-Out, both stores would be vying with each other for business that no one could dream of making more money.
Rui Yuchen said, “According to the contents of this report, I think we should focus on the super first-tier and first-tier cities as the main goal. At the same time, spread the storefronts and let them bloom as much as possible!”
Pei Qian was deep in thought.
Focus on the super first-tier cities? Make them bloom?
Obviously not, that would definitely make money.
Pei Qian thought for a while and said. “Open all new branches in second- and third-tier cities in Handong Province, especially Jingzhou—fill them all up!”
Rui Yuchen: “Huh?”
He felt slightly light-headed.
Boss Pei was not listening to the information that I sorted so seriously into a report?
Or did Boss Pei have something up his sleeve?
