Zhang Yahui was pleasantly surprised. "Eh, Boss Pei, your eyes are indeed sharp. You could tell at a glance!"
"Indeed, these are all Brother Bao's ideas. We don't have such brains."
"Brother Bao used his rich design experience accumulated in the games department to apply the concept of game design to the snack market. He made the entire snack market flow and gave it a soul!"
Pei Qian: "…"
Very good, it's Bao Xu again.
It would have been fine if you had just happened to pass by and suggested the cyberpunk-themed decoration style. I could even say that you had done it unintentionally.
How do you explain the situation now?!
Obviously, this entire set of design was definitely not something that could be done on a 'whim'. It was definitely done repeatedly and fully prepared. He even had to communicate with Liang Qingfan repeatedly during the design process to make the structure and layout of all the stalls conform to the corresponding plan.
This Bao Xu was even more guilty!
Zhang Yahui continued walking forward and arrived at one of the snack stalls.
Only a small portion of the stall owners had arrived since they had not officially opened for business today.
The other stall owners would also come one after another to prepare and try their hands today, but they would not appear in groups.
"Use the Tengda Life App to scan the QR code on the stall. You can order and pay. After that, you don't have to queue here. Instead, you can walk around first and come back to collect the snacks when they are ready."
"You can observe the status of the food at any time on the Tengda Life App and see what number you are in the queue."
The QR code of the stall was displayed on a screen that was also wrapped in cyberpunk style. It would refresh and change every few minutes.
Apart from that, the screen would also display the popular dishes and snack menus of the stall, as well as the current number.
The reason why the QR code had to be refreshed frequently was to prevent some customers from taking a picture of the QR code and ordering remotely. It would disrupt the normal queue order, or the backlog of food that could not be taken away in time.
In addition, every snack stall also had a special waiting area and dining area. There were not many seats and it was quite crowded, but at least it gave customers a place to rest. What's more, the cyberpunk-style tables and chairs further enhanced the immersion of the entire scene.
In the middle of the waiting area, there was a high-tech 'stamp machine'. In fact, the structure was very simple. It was nothing more than placing the notebook on it and pressing the upper part of the stamp machine. It would automatically print. It was just that the outer packaging was cooler.
Zhang Yahui continued to introduce, "This is the stamp machine used to punch in."
"Its size fits perfectly with the position of the notebook that was pressed in advance. As long as the position is aligned and the stamp press is pressed, it can be printed in a very perfect position. It can be said to be the gospel for people with OCD."
"If the customer gathers all the stamps from all the stalls, we will also give you an additional gift: a beautiful small mechanical arm figurine. But it hasn't arrived yet. We're still purchasing it. "
"By the way, Brother Bao was the one who thought of these details. He has indeed inherited Tengda Games' tradition of striving for perfection. I can't help but sigh."
"…"
Rebellion, rebellion!
This Bao Xu, you're going against the heavens!
So you've been busy with the snack market ever since you returned from your trip with Liang Qingfan? Moreover, looking at the extent of his dedication, he probably worked full hours every day, right?
I have no enmity with you, so why do you have to do this?
At that moment, Pei Qian did not know what to say. He was deeply confused.
Zhang Yahui probed, "Boss Pei, there are still some vendors here today. Do you want to try their skills?"
Pei Qian shook his head. "No need, it won't taste bad."
What was the use of tasting? It would definitely not taste bad!
These vendors were all selected from all over the country, and they made their own specialty snacks. How could it taste bad?
What's more, Pei Qian's mood was very heavy now and he did not really want to eat.
He only had one thought now. He had to think of a way to widely spread Bao Xu's actions.
He had to let the entire Tengda Corporation know what he had done!
At that time, everyone would be moved and vote for him as the second most outstanding employee, continuing his tourism legend!
There was no other way, Bao Xu. You forced me to do this.
You were the one who attacked first, so don't blame me for being ruthless!
Zhang Yahui nodded. He took Boss Pei's' it won't taste bad 'as a compliment.
"Then … Boss Pei, do you want to give some suggestions? We're about to open for business. Is there anything that needs to be improved? "
Pei Qian was silent.
Something to improve?
If possible, I hope that all of you will change!
It would be best if all the decorations were stripped away!
However, he could not do that.
All the designs were seamless and perfect. There was no way to pick out any problems and use them as a pretext.
Just as Pei Qian was at his wit's end, he suddenly saw the prices of the snacks at the stalls.
Got it!
Why not make it simple, direct, and straightforward?
You guys always come up with some fancy new tricks for me, but I can only use the same old method to deal with the changes: Lower the price!
In any case, as long as the price is lowered enough and the profits are compressed to the extreme, no matter how fancy they are, they can forget about making much money.
What's more, the snack market was different from games or chain fast food. The game set a low price and compressed profits. It was still possible to achieve the effect of small profits but quick turnover because it was cheap and earn a lot of money.
However, the snack market was only so big. The number of customers each stall could accommodate was limited.
There were only so many customers in Jingzhou. If customers from other places wanted to come, they would have to bear the costs of train tickets, air tickets, accommodation, and so on. The price of the snacks would not be particularly attractive to customers.
What's more, everyone's stomach was limited. How much could they eat even if they ate freely?
Thus, as long as the price was lowered enough, the snack market would definitely not be able to earn much money!
Pei Qian looked around. There were all kinds of snacks here. There were all kinds of snacks from all over the country.
It was definitely unrealistic and unnecessary to set the price one by one.
What Pei Qian needed to do now was to find an anchor point and then reduce the price of all delicacies according to this anchor point.
Which kind of snack should he choose for this anchor point?
Let's roast cold noodles!
Speaking of which, roast cold noodles was the source and beginning of everything.
If Meng Chang had not started the Cold-Faced Lady project, he would not have held a Street Food Contest in Beijing. Without the Street Food Contest, there would not have been a lot of things like selecting vendors, filming documentaries, and setting up a food market.
Coincidentally, Zhang Yahui, the person-in-charge, was the best at roasting cold noodles. Everything was so coincidental.
Pei Qian asked, "How much is a serving of roasted cold noodles in the snack market?"
Zhang Yahui was stunned. He did not expect Boss Pei to ask such an irrelevant question.
However, he immediately answered, "The prices vary slightly from stall to stall, but overall, it's about 10 yuan."
This price was not expensive.
At the moment, the roasted cold noodles at roadside stalls were basically around 5 to 6 yuan. The raw materials of the roasted cold noodles at the food market were carefully selected. The dough skin, oil, eggs, and other ingredients were all more expensive than the roasted cold noodles on the street. The taste, location, and the craftsmanship of the stall owners were also different … All in all, selling it for 10 yuan was not very kind, but it was not expensive either.
After all, when Meng Chang started the Cold-Faced Lady, he had set the price of the basic version of the golden roasted cold noodles at 12 yuan and above. There was also a more expensive version of 16 yuan.
The roasted cold noodles at the snack market were better and cheaper than the Cold-Faced Lady's roasted cold noodles. It should be a price that most consumers could accept.
Pei Qian remained silent for a moment. "Reduce the price! Reduce it to 6 yuan per serving! "
Zhang Yahui could not help but be shocked. "6 yuan? That's basically not profitable! The profits are very, very low, close to zero! "
He could still earn a little if he set it at 10 yuan previously.
He could not just look at the cost of the raw materials. The stall owners still had to earn money. Otherwise, how would they have the enthusiasm to wake up early and set up stalls every day?
Tengda might give the stall owners a fixed salary but who would complain about having too much money?
The stall owners would definitely not be happy if they cut off this portion of profits for no reason.
Pei Qian said, "It's not just the roasted cold noodles. All other snacks will be reduced by this amount!"
"However, when we settle the income with the stall owners, we will still settle it according to the original standard of 10 yuan. If it's not enough, we will use the other income from the snack market to make up for it. If it's not enough, the company will make up for it. "
Originally, there was less than 4 yuan of profit in this 10 yuan. These profits were split between the snack market and the stall owners.
However, now that Boss Pei had cut off all these profits, the profit was negligible. That meant that not only did he give up on the profits of the snack market, but he also had to fork out money to compensate the stall owners.
Going back and forth like this was a huge loss!
Of course, the snack market did not only rely on snacks to earn money. There were also other ways to earn money, such as shops that sold peripheral products.
However, it was probably impossible to use these additional ways to make money to fill this hole.
This price reduction turned the snack market from a profitable project to a loss-making project in minutes.
However, Pei Qian had made up his mind.
As long as the System did not care about me, no one could care about me!
Zhang Yahui could only nod. "Alright, Boss Pei. I'll arrange for someone to change the prices on the menu."
Pei Qian thought about it again and felt that that was about it.
The entire food market might have almost flipped because of Bao Xu's interference, but fortunately, he was smart enough to easily control the situation with a simple price reduction!
Next, he had to wait for the food market to officially open.
Pei Qian planned to immediately write a company-wide commendation when he returned. Then, he would find a suitable time to send it to every Tengda employee's internal communication software and email.
Let all Tengda employees know about Bao Xu's' Hall of Fame '.
Bao Xu, Bao Xu, you were the one who attacked first. Don't blame me!
