August 28th, Tuesday …
Pei Qian got into the car and prepared to head to Tengda's experience store.
He was bored in the car, so he took out his cell phone and looked at the netizens' discussions about Morning Dew Gaming Platform.
Pei Qian could not help but feel refreshed when he saw netizens saying that the platform would definitely collapse soon and be despised by everyone.
Comfortable!
It had been a long time since he had such a smooth feeling.
In the past few months, Pei Qian had been hearing bad news about the industry becoming popular every month. After suffering so many heavy blows, Pei Qian had even forgotten the joy of incurring losses in the beginning. He was getting used to the normal state of making money and becoming popular.
That was not good!
Man, the more setbacks, the braver he becomes, the more indomitable he becomes.
Wouldn't he see a turnaround as long as he persevered?
Take Meng Chang for example. If Pei Qian had given up on him when Meng Chang repeatedly received a basic salary and always messed up the publicity plan, how could he have succeeded today?
Pei Qian felt a little proud at the mention of this.
All in all, the start of this cycle was not bad. As the first project of this cycle, Morning Dew Gaming Platform had made a good start for other projects to lose money and be scolded.
In the future, as long as he summarized the experience of Morning Dew Gaming Platform and entered other industries, the chances of losing money would definitely increase greatly!
Pei Qian had already made all the arrangements for the future of Morning Dew Gaming Platform.
After the bug hunting activity ended, the traffic attracted by the bonus would definitely dissipate quickly. The negative public opinion that had accumulated previously would definitely explode.
Thus, the popularity of Morning Dew Gaming Platform would definitely drop at light speed.
Pei Qian would take this opportunity to continue allocating more publicity funds to do regular publicity for Morning Dew Gaming Platform.
However, its reputation was ruined after all. There were not many good games on the platform. No matter how much publicity funds were spent, it would all go to waste. It would not have a good effect.
Wouldn't he be able to burn money lying down?
In an optimistic situation, it would be a huge help if the relationship between this platform and Tengda could be hidden for a year and a half. How many settlement cycles would he have to help Boss Pei survive?
In an unoptimistic situation, it should not be a problem to last half a year. At the very least, it would be able to maintain the current settlement cycle.
If one day, the relationship between Morning Dew Gaming Platform and Tengda was exposed, public opinion would probably reverse instantly. At that time, Pei Qian would move all of Tengda's games over and set a lower price than the official platform. At the same time, he would change the other game developers' share to 90%, and the platform would only take 10%.
While trying to reduce profits as much as possible, they would also organize some promotional activities to burn money and work hard to make the profits of the gaming platform negative for a period of time.
This way, he could probably last for at least another year.
That's enough.
To Pei Qian, it would be perfect if the gaming platform could remain unprofitable for two to three years. As for the future, that was too far away and not something that needed to be considered right now.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was a wise decision to let Tang Yishu be in charge of this game platform and let Meng Chang be in charge of publicity.
As he was pondering, he arrived at the experience store.
The entrance of Jinsheng Square was still as crowded as before.
A little melancholic, Pei Qian sighed silently.
This time, the big screen outside the experience store was no longer the promotional poster for the GPL Spring Finals. Instead, it was the promotional poster for the GPL Summer Competition regular season.
Obviously, the big screen had become a huge promotional poster for the GPL league stadium opposite. What's more, it was dynamic. One could see it from afar. The promotional effect was simply too good.
Pei Qian really wanted to complain. I didn't give you this big screen for this!
However, he was very worried that Tian Mo would ask, "What's that for?"
Pei Qian really did not know how to answer.
Forget it, forget it. Let's just leave it at that.
It was better to advertise for the GPL than to advertise for other businesses to earn money. After all, the GPL was influential enough and popular enough. There would not be much difference if they did not advertise on the big screen.
Pei Qian put on his mask and went straight to the experience store to find Tian Mo, who was hiding in the crowd.
Then, Pei Qian led him to a relatively secluded coffee shop in Jinsheng Square.
As for why he did not say it in the experience store …
Obviously, it was because there were too many people.
The experience store might also have a dining area and a viewing area, but it was basically full all year round. Especially after the snack market became popular, the experience store also arranged for snack vendors to come over regularly. Many people would go to the dining area to eat when they were tired from shopping in the experience store. That was why there were a lot of people.
It would be easy to be exposed if there were too many people. Thus, he found a secluded coffee shop.
Pei Qian looked around and saw that there was no one around. He then took off his mask and drank a mouthful of coffee.
Pei Qian was at a loss for words as he looked at Tian Mo.
It had been three months since the trial run of the experience store.
In the past three months, the popularity of the experience store had completely exceeded Pei Qian's imagination.
Fortunately, there was one good news. The experience store basically did not earn money.
Even though the experience store also sold things, most customers only looked and did not buy because of the existence of Upwind Logistics.
Of course, they might have placed an order online after looking at it. There was no way to know.
All in all, even though the experience store was very popular, the money it actually earned could barely cover the costs of normal operations. Sometimes, it might even incur a little losses.
At first, Pei Qian was very disappointed to see that the experience store was popular. However, after thinking about it for a while, the situation did not seem that bad.
If the first experience store could not earn much money, wouldn't it be even less profitable to open more stores?
The marginal effect was diminishing!
Jingzhou could be said to be Tengda's headquarters. There were many fans to begin with. This was Tengda's first experience store, and it was opened opposite the GPL venue. It was understandable that it was popular.
If he opened more, wouldn't he be incurring losses if he opened a few more in Beijing, Shanghai, and other first-tier cities?
After careful consideration, Pei Qian felt that he could not give up on an experience store that was a good money-burning thing. He had to open a few more at the risk of continuing to earn money.
Boss Pei, who was deep in thought, gave Tian Mo goosebumps.
"Boss Pei, is there anything about my work that you're not satisfied with?"
Pei Qian chuckled.
Wasn't that nonsense?!
There were too many things that he was dissatisfied with. The most dissatisfied thing was that he could not dissuade all the customers.
However, he could not say it so directly. He could only say vaguely, "Yes, I can only say that there's still some room for improvement."
Tian Mo nodded slightly.
It was normal for there to be room for improvement. After all, he was just a layman in the sales industry. No matter what, he still had too many things to learn from Boss Pei.
"Don't worry, Boss Pei. You can point out any shortcomings in my work. I'll definitely change seriously! I'll definitely continue to follow you in the future and learn more about sales! "
After a moment of silence, Pei Qian said, "There's no need to follow me."
Tian Mo: "Huh?"
Pei Qian said melancholically, "I don't have anything else to teach you. Your next task is to open an experience store in Imperial City, Magic City, and Yangcheng. "
"Choose the best location, spend the most money, and recruit all the staff. In short, everything starts from zero. Let's do it again! "
"As for the employees of this experience store in Jingzhou … inform them that only a quarter of the core employees will be retained. The rest will be sent to Fish-Catching Internet Cafe. Each person will have an internet cafe. Choose for yourself."
Pei Qian had already considered this plan repeatedly.
Two, two, three, four again. He did not believe that Tian Mo would be able to open an experience store this time!
The experience store in Jingzhou was so successful partly because of Tengda's long-term hard work and accumulation in Jingzhou. On the other hand, it was also because of Liang Qingfan's excellent location and design.
In fact, it might have been better if the work of the experience store had been handed over to Tian Mo from the beginning.
However, Tian Mo was a talent that could only be found by chance on the streets after all. There was nothing he could do about it.
All in all, he would not let Liang Qingfan interfere this time. It should be fine to leave all the work to Tian Mo, right?
Given Tian Mo's current abilities, it would not be a problem to sell things in Tengda's experience store. However, it would definitely be difficult to open his own experience store.
What's more, he was not familiar with cities like Beijing and Shanghai. The chances of failure were even higher.
Apart from that, Pei Qian also planned to arrange for all the old employees in the experience store to be sent out.
After all, the experience store could still continue to operate as planned if only one person-in-charge was sent away.
However, what if he sent all the core employees away?
The various Fish-Catching Internet Cafes had just reformed their sales areas. In the future, they would not sell other third-party peripherals. They would only sell Tengda's own products.
There were not many products to begin with. Coupled with the sales of these dissuading services, they should not be able to sell much, right?
Even if they sold some helplessly, the harm would not be as great as the experience store.
Who knew, the entire experience store might suffer a huge blow and not be able to recover?
Tian Mo was stunned.
"Huh? Boss Pei, that's not a good idea, right? "
"I've barely gotten used to management work. I still don't know anything about running an experience store! What's more, who will be the branch manager of this store if I leave? "
Pei Qian had expected him to say that. "The choice of branch manager is very simple. Isn't Zhuang Dong very good?"
"Zhuang … Zhuang Dong?" Tian Mo was even more shocked.
Others might not know, but how could he not know what Zhuang Dong's situation was?
He was already trying his best to maintain his intelligence to be able to survive as a salesman in the experience store and not cause any major damage to the experience store!
"Boss Pei, Zhuang Dong is my brother. Of course, I have no objections to him. However … can he be the branch manager? "Tian Mo was confused.
Pei Qian smiled slightly. "If you can be the branch manager, why can't he?"
Tian Mo: "Ah, this …"
He had wanted to say that Boss Pei should not insult others, but on further thought, Boss Pei seemed to be right.
He was the only one who felt that he was much smarter than Zhuang Dong.
However, in the eyes of others, he was probably not much smarter than Zhuang Dong even if he was smarter.
On the other hand, Boss Pei had praised and favored Zhuang Dong many times. Obviously, he had found a certain characteristic in Zhuang Dong. This characteristic would be successful under Boss Pei's catalysis.
