In order to match the new equipment, Star Bird Fitness's flyers and promotional materials had naturally been adjusted.
VR glasses and Fitness Battle VR Version were the main gimmicks to attract nearby customers.
At the same time, it was only natural for a new store to open for a huge sale.
Within a week, all Star Bird Fitness stores would give new customers two hours of free experience and a discount. Old customers would also be given some preferential time to experience the VR version in the store or bring their friends over.
It might be Saturday today, but it was the first day of business after all. Che Rong did not expect a large number of customers to come.
After all, popularity had to be accumulated slowly.
Che Rong thought that he would distribute flyers and give out huge discounts a few days before the opening to gather popularity. After this week, the popularity of the gym would be more or less the same.
What he didn't expect was that before noon, there were more and more customers coming!
What's more, most of the customers had never come to Star Bird Fitness before.
Che Rong was puzzled at first. Was the effect of this flyer so powerful?
It was not scientific at all!
He had distributed flyers many times before, but the efficiency was very low.
After all, most people would only casually take one out of embarrassment. It would be good enough if they could attract one or two customers to the shop to take a look after sending out a hundred flyers.
However, so many people had already come knocking on his door before the little brother who had been sent out to distribute the flyers had returned?
Che Rong asked carefully and realized that it was not because of the flyers.
These people had come from the nearby Fish-Catching Internet Cafe!
A batch of Fish-Catching Internet Cafes had already been modified and half of the seats had been replaced with VR glasses. However, this modification had to be carried out in stages and batches after all. What's more, it could only be modified for Fish-Catching Internet Cafe 1.0. Fish-Catching Internet Cafe 2.0 and 3.0's Live Esports Museum were not suitable for this modification for the time being. Thus, the supply of VR equipment was still insufficient.
There were serious queues in the VR experience area of many Fish-Catching Internet Cafes.
At that moment, the name of Star Bird Fitness spread among the gamers.
Fish-Catching Internet Cafe could only experience Animal Island. The key was that there were no seats even though the game was more playable than Fitness Battle!
Thus, he took a step back and went to Star Bird Fitness to experience VR glasses.
VR glasses, look at the resolution of the glasses, and then use the VR perspective to look at the young lady in 'Fitness Battle'.
'Fitness Battle' was a mobile game. Even though only a few people could persevere and train continuously, most people had downloaded it, had accounts, and drawn a few beautiful clothes.
Therefore, it was normal to try out the VR version.
Che Rong was moved to tears.
Previously, he thought that Boss Pei had helped him enough. It was like sending him a boiler in the snow. There was nothing he could do to repay him.
Only now did he realize that Boss Pei's gift was not over yet!
They even used Fish-Catching Internet Cafe to attract customers who could not fill their stomachs to Starbird Fitness. Not long after Starbird Fitness opened for business, it already had a large number of customers!
Of course, it was impossible for all of these customers to stay. Many of them were just here to have a taste, and most likely wouldn't come again in the future.
But no matter what, even if only a small portion of these people remained, it would be enough!
Che Rong and a few staff members were busy helping customers adjust the equipment and guiding them to better experience the Fitness Battle VR version.
There were also customers who did not want to play VR after playing for a while. They felt a little stuffy and switched to normal mode to continue playing. Starbird Fitness had equipped every smart fitness drying rack with a huge television. They could also obtain a good experience.
To put it bluntly, the VR version only provided customers with an additional experience. This experience might not be perfect but it was indispensable.
Che Rong was extremely busy, but it was a blissful busyness.
Previously, Starbird Fitness had been an ordinary gym. No matter how hard they worked, their business was just like that. Che Rong could not lift his spirits even if he wanted to.
However, things were completely different now.
Starbird Fitness had changed to a new business model, which made Che Rong feel that his future was bright. Even his work was filled with motivation!
Indeed, walking in the right direction was more important than anything else.
Che Rong suddenly saw a familiar figure as he was busy.
He might be wearing a mask but … wasn't that Boss Pei?!
Che Rong did not recognize Boss Pei the last time they met, but there was no reason for him not to recognize him this time.
He might look like an ordinary young man on the surface, but he could easily do things that others could not and create business miracles. That made his back look incomparably tall!
"Boss Pei is worried about the situation here, so he specially came to take a look?"
"I'm so sorry!"
"I really can't repay your kindness."
"How should I greet Boss Pei …"
Che Rong was very touched.
Logically speaking, Boss Pei had arranged at least three layers of arrangements in advance. That was enough to ensure that the new Starbird Fitness store would be popular when it opened. However, even so, Boss Pei still specially came to take a look. That was enough to show how much Boss Pei valued Starbird Fitness!
However, how should he greet him? Che Rong fell into a dilemma.
Che Rong felt that Boss Pei already knew his identity, but the two of them had not met on a business level. They had only interacted in private as the buyer and seller of the house.
Should he go up and call him 'Boss Pei' now? That seemed a little inappropriate.
However, call him 'Little Brother Pei'? That would be even more inappropriate!
He could not be too serious, but he could not be too casual either. If he did not handle it well and angered Boss Pei, that would definitely be unforgivable.
The degree of this was really not easy to grasp.
Just as Che Rong was in a dilemma, he saw Boss Pei casually walk around Starbird Fitness and immediately turn to leave.
"This …"
Che Rong was stunned. He was just about to raise his hand to stop Boss Pei when he retracted the word 'Pei'.
Boss Pei must have wanted to keep a low profile since he was wearing a mask.
It was really inappropriate for him to call him that.
However, Boss Pei had already walked away while he hesitated.
That made Che Rong feel that it was a pity. He really should not have hesitated! If he had gone up earlier, he might have been able to say a few words to Boss Pei!
However, on further thought, there might be no need for that.
According to Boss Li, Boss Pei was a very clean and efficient person who never did unnecessary things. What's more, he was very strict with his time planning and never wasted time.
Boss Pei was probably here to confirm the state of Starbird Fitness and see if his arrangements were working.
Since he had already seen it, he could leave. There was no need to stay any longer.
Therefore, there was no need for Che Rong to go up and greet him. Boss Pei did not like such meaningless small talk.
At that thought, Che Rong felt a little lucky. It was not a bad thing that he had hesitated just now.
"When dealing with Boss Pei, you can't use the rules of interpersonal communication in real life to apply them mechanically.
"I still have to be like Boss Li. I have to understand Boss Pei's personality and get along with him the way Boss Pei likes."
"There's no need to go up and greet him this time. We just have to understand each other. If I do Starbird Fitness well, Tengda's investment will also be able to earn money. This is a win-win situation. "
Boss Pei's arrival boosted Che Rong's confidence. He continued to work enthusiastically.
…
Pei Qian was speechless after coming out of Starbird Fitness.
Was this a f * cking gym?
It was a huge internet cafe!
Even the charging model was very similar to an internet cafe.
However, the equipment used in other internet cafes were computers, while the equipment used here was a smart fitness drying rack, a huge television, and VR glasses.
Business was actually quite good. That was the most ridiculous thing!
The reason why Pei Qian quickly retreated was because he realized that he had been tricked after taking a glance.
Che Rong had never said that this gym was fully equipped with Tengda's equipment!
Che Rong had only said that his gym had been in a bad situation for the past two years. Fortunately, he had the help of a benefactor recently, and the situation had improved slightly.
Now that he thought about it, there was a problem with who this' benefactor 'was!
If Che Rong had said that he had bought a full set of Tengda's equipment, Pei Qian would not have asked Dream Realization Ventures to invest in him.
Thus, Pei Qian had been tricked.
In such a situation, a gym was equipped with smart fitness drying racks and VR glasses. That would be dozens of products at once.
If there were many branches of Starbird Fitness, the purchase cost would not be underestimated.
He had fought for some benefits for everyone. If you followed Emblem Xin's public account, you could receive a red packet of up to 888 yuan in cash!
The most important thing was that Starbird Fitness would also play a certain publicity and promotion role!
Who could guarantee that someone would come to Starbird Fitness in the future and play VR games for a while when they were tired? Then, they would buy VR glasses at home when they were happy?
However, Pei Qian had no other choice now that things had come to this point.
It was a good thing that Starbird Fitness was not large now, and he did not purchase a lot of equipment. Wait for Doubt!
The first wave of popularity caused by VR had subsided, and the popularity here should slowly decline.
Tengda had only indirectly invested in Starbird Fitness. It should not be able to earn a lot of money.
It was really an ambush from all sides!
How could anyone he met in life stab him in the back?
Pei Qian shook his head helplessly. He took the car back and continued thinking about spending money before settlement this cycle.
…
…
July 22nd, Sunday …
Starbird Fitness flagship store …
Che Rong was even busier than yesterday because there were more customers!
The gym might not be full yet, but the occupancy rate during peak hours had already reached 80 to 90%. The usual occupancy rate was also 40 to 50%.
Starbird Fitness' model was different from other gyms. Other gyms had to apply for a card, but Starbird Fitness allowed users to experience it on a per-use basis. The charging methods were more diverse.
It indeed did not look like a gym but more like an internet cafe.
Although the single service fee was a little more expensive, for those customers who wanted to try something new, charging per service or getting a monthly membership was obviously a safer choice.
Che Rong thought that he could outsource to make a software in the future so that customers could check the current situation of the gym in real time to see if it was full and if there were any empty seats.
It might not be possible to arrange everyone's fitness schedule perfectly like Deposit Fitness, but he could at least try his best to avoid queuing.
