After choosing the branch managers, Pei Qian turned to Ma Yang.
"Old Ma, Zhang Yuan. Once the branches are opened, this shop will be our flagship store. The two of you don't have to worry too much about the first-tier internet cafes.
"Zhang Yuan, from now on, you will be the regional manager of Fish-Catching Internet Cafes in Jingzhou City. All the internet cafes will be under your management.
"As for Ma Yang, you will be the general manager of all the Fish-Catching Internet Cafes. Just like before, you will report directly to me and report to me.
"Out of the few branch managers that were chosen previously, choose the one that you are most satisfied with to be the branch manager of this shop. As the first Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, this shop has a commemorative meaning. From now on, it will be our flagship store.
"Brothers who didn't choose a branch manager, don't worry. In the future, when Fish-Catching Internet Cafe opens new branches, we will prioritize choosing branch managers from the older employees.
"As for the staff gap after the promotion, hurry up and hire people to fill it.
"Ma Yang, Zhang Yuan, after the holidays, I'll give the two of you a week to look around and find ten suitable locations. From there, pick four and open four new branches.
"Location, renovation, layout … everything will be the same as the current experience store, understand?"
Ma Yang patted his chest. "Don't worry, Brother Qian. Leave it to me!"
Everyone else was a little excited as well.
Boss Pei wasn't just painting a picture. He had fulfilled everything he said previously at the speed of light!
Some bosses painted a picture well, but they always delayed what they promised. However, Boss Pei was different. He had just said that he wanted to open new branches a few days ago, and he was already putting them on the agenda!
Thinking about the initial investment of more than three million yuan for each branch, Boss Pei had thrown in more than ten million yuan for four new branches. Boss Pei didn't even frown at such a huge matter. Indeed, he was a man of great things!
Thinking about how they could work for a boss like this, the waiters could not help but feel proud.
After explaining everything, Pei Qian reminded them of a few more details before leaving with a peace of mind.
…
…
During the Labor Day holiday …
Since the company was on holiday and there was nothing much to do in school, Pei Qian decided to go home.
However, before he went home, he took his bank card with more than eighty thousand yuan worth of Personal Wealth and went to the electronics stores near his home.
It happened to be a small holiday, so there were quite a lot of people in the store.
In this day and age, buying home appliances online was not popular yet. Warehousing, logistics, and so on were not that convenient. After-sales service was also a big problem. Therefore, most people were more inclined to buy expensive items like home appliances in some stores.
A few years later, as e-commerce became more and more developed, these stores gradually declined.
Pei Qian walked around aimlessly.
"Shopping is so annoying."
"It would be great if Assistant Xin was here …"
Pei Qian started to miss Assistant Xin. If she was around, she could give Pei Qian a report and choose the appliances according to Pei Qian's requirements. All Pei Qian had to do was to transfer the money.
But it was the holidays now, and Assistant Xin was on leave. Strictly speaking, buying home appliances had nothing to do with work. Asking Assistant Xin for help was not justifiable, and he might even get a warning from the system.
Thus, Pei Qian had no choice but to be a little tired and walk around on his own.
Television.
Washing machine.
Fridge.
Air conditioning.
Pei Qian was very sure that it was time to change almost all the electrical appliances in the house. However, if he really wanted to buy them himself, it would be quite difficult.
Because they all looked pretty bad …
The brands of the appliances were different from what Pei Qian remembered, but he could still roughly tell whether they were good or bad.
However, what made Pei Qian's head hurt was that although cell phone and computer hardware technology was developing very quickly in this world, the development of home appliances was not much different from what Pei Qian remembered.
Pei Qian was looking at the appliances in 2010 from the perspective of 2019. Of course, he felt that there were all sorts of things that were not pleasing to the eye. In fact, there were many models of home appliances that had been completely eliminated later on. They had been proven to be rather failed designs, but now they were being displayed as new products.
Take the television for example.
At this time, a 40-inch television from a slightly better foreign brand would cost about five or six thousand yuan. To Pei Qian, this was practically daylight robbery.
After getting used to the price of a certain coarse grain TV, he really had no desire to buy the current television.
This was a very normal mentality. There was a saying that went: buy early and enjoy early; buy late and enjoy discounts. There was also a saying that went: those who wait would never be slaves.
Similar products were indeed replaced very quickly, especially from the perspective of ten years later. These things would have to be replaced sooner or later. However, the earlier one bought it, the earlier one could enjoy it.
Pei Qian felt that he should get a new set of home appliances for his parents. At the very least, the washing machine would not shake when it was shaken, the fridge should be bigger so that it could hold more things, and the television should be bigger so that his eyes would be more comfortable when he watched it. These were all things related to his daily life. The earlier he could change them, the better.
Pei Qian walked around twice and quickly decided on the home appliances that he wanted to buy. He swiped his card and bought them.
42-inch television, more than six thousand yuan.
Two-door fridges were still rare at this time. More than ten thousand yuan.
Air-conditioner, more than two thousand yuan. Jingzhou was very hot in the summer. It was a good time to buy an air-conditioner. He would be able to use it in a few days.
Drum washing machine, more than three thousand yuan.
At the same time, he bought electric rice cookers, vacuum cleaners, and other home appliances. All the bits and pieces added up to less than two thousand yuan.
Pei Qian chose brands with complete functions and good quality. There were domestic and foreign brands. Naturally, they were more expensive than ordinary products.
In the end, all of them added up to less than thirty thousand yuan.
After buying everything, Pei Qian walked around and actually found a cleaning robot.
There were cleaning robots in 2010, but no one bought them then. That was because they were of little value compared to the price. What's more, there were no apps to control them at that time. One could only describe them as' iron idiots'. They were not as easy to use as they were later on.
However, Pei Qian took a look. There was a cleaning robot that looked not bad. Although there was no route planning, there were a few cleaning modes. It cost more than three thousand yuan. Pei Qian bought it decisively.
Finally, he negotiated with the shopping mall about the recycling price of the old home appliances. Once everything was settled, he loaded them into the car and left.
The shopping mall was not far from home. Pei Qian followed the pile of home appliances into the house.
"Come, move them in." Pei Qian began to instruct the men to move the things in.
His mother ran out of the kitchen, confused. "Eh? What are you doing? Son, did you buy all of this? "
Pei Qian nodded. "That's right. Where's Dad? "
"He went out to socialize. He'll be back at night." His mother looked at the huge items being moved into the house and panicked. "How many things did you buy, son? How much did you spend?! "
"It's alright. It's just over twenty thousand yuan. My pay is just enough. I've also negotiated with the shopping mall about the old appliances. There's a trade-in program. You can get a discount. You don't have to worry about it. "
Pei Qian knew that he had to do things quickly. Before his mother could react, he had already moved the new appliances into the house and unpacked them. Then, he took all the old appliances away.
"This …"
His mother looked at the new television, refrigerator, and washing machine. For a moment, she did not know what to say.
"I'll install the air conditioner tomorrow morning. I'll install it in your bedroom. If you can't sleep on such a hot day, you can turn on the air conditioner. Just set the time.
"There's also this cleaning robot. I'll tell you how to use it."
Pei Qian began to explain to his mother how to use the electronic products. He casually found a changed bedsheet and threw it into the washing machine to wash it.
The washing machine made a soft buzzing sound. The foot pad had been adjusted so that it did not shake at all.
"You don't say. This washing machine is really useful!" His mother said happily.
Pei Qian nodded. "Of course. Not only is it useful, but it also saves water. It's the same for the refrigerator. It saves more electricity than the previous freezer. Although the new appliances are not cheap, we can save on electricity bills. "
His mother nodded. "That's true."
Soon, the refrigerator was filled with food. The washing machine was washing clothes. The cleaning robot was running around on the floor. The television was also broadcasting programs.
His mother was very satisfied with the new washing machine. She took out all the clothes that needed to be washed. It looked like she was going to make good use of the new washing machine.
Pei Qian curled up on the sofa and looked at the refrigerator that was not big enough to stand. He sighed.
"It would be great if the house was bigger …"
"I still have to work harder and try to incur losses …"
…
…
On the 4th, the holidays ended.
Pei Qian returned to the office.
His Personal Wealth had shrunk to more than fifty thousand yuan. His desire to incur losses grew stronger.
"Have you planned the contents of the new version?" Pei Qian walked past Lu Mingliang's work desk and asked casually.
Lu Mingliang immediately nodded. "Everything is ready, Boss Pei!"
"En?" Pei Qian suddenly realized that something was wrong. "You worked overtime during the Labor Day holiday?"
Lu Mingliang was stunned. Boss Pei was waiting for me here?
It was impossible to guard against him!
It did not seem right to say that he did not work overtime now.
The work was assigned on the 30th of April. The holidays were from the 1st to the 3rd of May. Today was the 4th of May. The plan had been completed.
Who would believe that he did not work overtime?
Lu Mingliang hurriedly explained, "No, Boss Pei. I had nothing to do at home these few days. I just thought about the plans for the new version."
Pei Qian kept a straight face. "Working overtime at home is still overtime! You'll get three times your salary for public holidays. "
Lu Mingliang, "… Yes, Boss Pei."
Pei Qian turned and walked towards the conference room. "Alright, there will be no next time. Let everyone come for a meeting. We'll discuss the new version. "
Soon, everyone in the research and development team arrived.
Ma Yiqun was the same as before. He sat quietly in the corner, holding a small notebook and prepared to take notes.
Lu Mingliang started to introduce the plans for the new versions of the games. It was roughly the same as what Pei Qian had told them previously.
The Lonely Desert Road would develop Endless Mode, multiplayer functions, and a new map. It would be priced at one yuan.
Ghost General would release a new set of generals. It would be priced at five yuan.
Ocean Stronghold would release a new epic weapon. It would be priced at eight hundred and eighty-eight yuan. It would be limited to five hundred weapons every month.
Game Designer would release a new set of voice packs and settings. It would be priced at five yuan.
However, Lu Mingliang's plan was much more detailed than what Pei Qian had said previously. For example, who would be in the new set of generals for Ghost General, what skills they would have, and what the rough animations would look like.
This was a more detailed plan. What's more, through this plan, they could roughly estimate the investment.
