The waiter mustered his courage. "Boss Pei, don't worry. We will not sell Fish-Catching Internet Cafe! I will reject him immediately! "
Another waiter nodded and said, "That's right! Boss Pei has done so much for us. As long as you don't give up on us, we will not sell any information about the internet cafe! "
Pei Qian looked at their determined expressions and was a little confused.
Don't!
Sell it if you want to; that's exactly what I wanted!
Why would he want to buy information? Wasn't he trying to harm this branch at Ming Yun Villas?
That's great. Ming Yun Villas would incur more losses. That's exactly what I wanted.
Then, the waiters would earn money, and Boss Pei would incur losses. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?
Pei Qian waved his hand. "There's no need.
Sell the information for as much as you want. Don't stand on ceremony with him. Or, bargain with him and try to get more than three thousand yuan. "
The waiters were dumbfounded.
What did that mean?
Boss Pei agreed to sell information to us?
One of the waiters thought about it and suddenly realized something. "I know, Boss Pei. You're planning to beat him at his own game! You're trying to trick him with fake information? "
Pei Qian smiled without saying a word.
Fake information?
There's no fake information. I'm telling you the truth. Just sell it as much as you can.
Pei Qian took out his cell phone and turned on the recording function.
"Today, I'll tell everyone about Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's plans for the future.
"In the next few months, the Ming Yun Villas branch will become the most important business for Fish-Catching Internet Cafe. At the same time, our internet cafe business will continue to grow!
"Although Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's flagship store is very successful now, that's only because of the wine business, not the internet cafe business."
He looked at Ma Yang. "Old Ma, you always wanted to turn Fish-Catching Internet Cafe into a bar, but I never agreed. That's why I never agreed.
"High-end internet cafes aren't popular at the moment, but they're definitely the direction of the future!"
"I predict that in less than a year, these high-end internet cafes will replace traditional internet cafes and become the mainstream in the market!"
Pei Qian's words were both true and false.
Changing from a low-cost Internet cafe model to a high-end Internet cafe model was indeed the mainstream development in the future, but it was definitely not something that could be completed in one or two years.
According to Pei Qian's impression, the internet cafe model only started to take shape around 12 years ago. It only started to spread from first-tier cities to second-tier cities around 14 or 15 years ago. Gradually, most people began to accept it.
Thus, in Pei Qian's mind, he still had about two more years to incur losses.
So what if it was the future direction of development? In any case, it was fine as long as they made a loss within these two years. Future matters could be discussed in the future.
Pei Qian continued, "Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's flagship store was a pleasant surprise. It wasn't part of my plans.
This sentence was 100% true.
"Due to the flagship store's unexpected success, the customer flow and other data have been disrupted. The flagship store is no longer suitable for testing the internet cafe model."
"Therefore, I chose to experiment with the internet cafe model at the Ming Yun Villas branch, which seems to be doing the worst!"
"Our target is to focus on the luxurious residential areas and universities nearby. We will fully utilize the advantages of Fish-Catching Internet Cafe as a high-end online entertainment venue …"
"Everyone, please believe that Ming Yun Villas will be the next core business district in Jingzhou City. It will be a place where high-end people gather!"
After hearing Pei Qian's words, the waiters exchanged confused looks.
Was Boss Pei speaking the truth or lying?
Since he was saying it to his competitors, it was most likely a lie, right?
However, why couldn't they tell that it was a lie?
Why did it sound like the truth?!
What's more, it seemed to match Boss Pei's current behavior …
One of the waiters raised his hand weakly and asked, "Then, Boss Pei, what should we do?"
Pei Qian smiled slightly. "Serve the customers well and wait patiently."
…
After the meeting, Pei Qian sent the recording to Ma Yang.
"Give this recording to any waiter."
Pei Qian was afraid that the waiters would miss out on his words. Thus, he very considerately recorded it.
With the recording, the other party would probably be more convinced.
Of course, even if he did that, the other party might still suspect that it was fake information and not take the bait.
However, whether the other party took the bait or not, Pei Qian would only benefit.
…
…
That night …
Li Shi received the information he had bought from three different waiters from his subordinates. There was also a recording.
It was a pleasant surprise to receive this recording.
This made Li Shi very happy. He asked his subordinates to give the person who provided the recording an extra five hundred yuan.
The information and the recording verified each other. The information was basically the same.
However, because the information was relayed, Li Shi felt that he had missed out on some information.
The key was the recording. It was Boss Pei's original words.
Li Shi sipped his tea in his study as he listened to the recording.
"Boss Pei's words can be summarized into two points. First, high-end internet cafes will become the mainstream in the future. It has great potential. Second, Ming Yun Villas will be the next core business district in Jingzhou City. It will be a place where high-end people gather …
"The first point is the same as what I thought. "Indeed, high-end internet cafes will definitely be the mainstream in the future. As people's living standards gradually improve and personal computers become more common, most people will go to internet cafes to play games instead of just playing games. Naturally, the requirements for the environment will also become higher."
"The second point needs further discussion.
"Ming Yun Villas is a well-known high-end villa district. The nearby Jiaotong University's East Campus is not as big as Handong University's main campus. There are not many students there.
"Are these two places going to make this place popular? Aren't you being too optimistic and idealistic? "
"What's more, this Fish-Catching Internet Cafe branch is quite far from these two places. It's almost two kilometers away. It would take about twenty minutes to half an hour to walk.
"This distance is quite awkward. It's too far to walk and too troublesome to take the bus. The students in the East Campus would be more inclined to go to the internet cafes at the school entrance. The rich people in Ming Yun Villas would not drive all the way here just for a cup of coffee, right …
"You want to take care of both? That's too ambitious. If it was a high-end restaurant, it would be worth people coming all the way here. However, an internet cafe would not be that attractive.
"But then again, given Boss Pei's methods, it's not impossible …"
Ever since Boss Pei used a resident singer to hype up Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's flagship store, Li Shi had been full of admiration for Boss Pei's hype techniques.
As for Boss Pei saying in the recording that this was a pleasant surprise, he was obviously being too modest.
How could there be such a pleasant surprise in the world?
Thus, Li Shi believed eighty percent of what Boss Pei said.
He also suspected that this might be fake information.
However, on further thought, he felt that it did not make sense.
