Manager Cui's mouth opened slightly. He was speechless.
Not expensive?
If it was not expensive, it would not have remained unsold for so long!
In fact, this price was even higher than many villas in Jingzhou City. It was expensive mainly because of the design, renovation, and the fact that it was a villa on a mountain peak.
Pei Qian felt that it was not expensive, so he subconsciously compared it to the price of the villas in his memory.
Seven million yuan to buy such a huge villa was indeed not expensive!
If such a huge villa was in Beijing, Shanghai, or Guangzhou, it would be worth more than twenty to thirty million yuan in ten years.
What's more, Pei Qian had already confirmed with the System that he could buy it with the System Funds!
However, this villa would be considered the company's property after it was bought. He could use it to open a restaurant, but he could not let Pei Qian live in it.
In other words, he had to engage in reasonable operations and use it as a means of production.
What's more, using the company's money to buy property would cost more than buying property for an individual. For example, he would have to pay property taxes, taxes, and loan interest rates. If he sold it, he would have to pay value-added tax, stamp duty, and other additional fees. That would make it more difficult to sell it.
However, to Pei Qian, this was not a problem. The System had given him a way out and allowed him to buy property to open a restaurant. That was a pleasant surprise!
Pei Qian glanced at the System Funds.
Previously, he had eight million yuan in the System Funds. Now that three weeks had passed, Ocean Stronghold had provided more than six million yuan in income.
At the beginning of the month, Fish-Catching Internet Cafe had also provided a lot of income from alcohol. Since rent was paid every three months, there were no losses on the books. All the money earned had been transferred to the System Funds.
Zhongdian Chinese Network, Shang Yang Games, Upwind Courier stations, and other projects had also been invested. Now, he was left with more than eight million yuan.
It was enough to buy this villa, but Shang Yang Games and Tengda Games still needed a lot of money.
Repent and be Saved's previous budget was twenty million yuan. It would take at least three months. Based on the income of the other games, it should be enough.
However, if he were to spend six million yuan to buy this villa, it would not be enough.
Pei Qian thought about it. Since that was the case, he would let Ocean Stronghold sell one more epic weapon!
One epic weapon was worth 888 yuan. If he split it seventy-thirty, he would have to sell ten thousand of them to earn six million yuan.
Coincidentally, this was equivalent to a gun that was permanently out of print. There were only 10,000 of them, and if all of them were sold, this hole could be completely filled.
At that thought, Pei Qian sent a message to Assistant Xin, asking her to come over and prepare for the procedures.
On the other hand, Pei Qian asked Manager Cui to bring him around the villa.
…
There were a total of eight villas on the peak of Ming Yun Villas. They were all stand-alone, and they were quite far from each other. This ensured that the environment was absolutely quiet.
Pei Qian specially chose a detached villa that was relatively close to the northwest gate. He was mainly worried that it would be more disturbing for his employees to drive around in the villa area when they gathered for a meal.
It was more convenient to enter from the northwest side door and leave after eating.
The villa's usable area was 580 square meters. It had three floors, six bedrooms, three living rooms, and three bathrooms. The decoration was very good, and there were some simple furniture inside.
Of course, Pei Qian did not need any of this furniture. After all, he was going to use this house as a restaurant. The renovations could remain the same, but the purpose and layout of each room had to be changed. That included the kitchen, bathroom, and the like.
There was also an endless swimming pool, which allowed one to overlook the scenery below from the hillside. It was quite a nice feeling.
After walking around, Pei Qian could only sigh silently.
It's so good to be rich!
If I can lose seven million yuan in one go during the next settlement, I won't hesitate to buy another house to live in!
Everyone had to have dreams. What if they came true?
Manager Cui vigorously boasted about the various advantages of this villa, exaggerating it.
He had always been eloquent. In addition, the design of this house was really good. Apart from the price, everything else was very beautiful. That was why it was quite bewitching.
Ma Yang and Zhang Yuan followed behind Pei Qian and walked around the villa as well.
The two of them had the same thoughts as Pei Qian.
It's so good to be rich!
After walking around, Zhang Yuan said to Pei Qian, "Boss Pei, why don't you and Boss Ma look after the house first? I'll go and look at the location of the restaurant."
Pei Qian looked at him. "The location of the restaurant? It's been decided. It's here. "
Zhang Yuan was stunned.
This place???
There were so few people in this villa area, and yet he wanted to set up a high-end restaurant in such a remote place?!
Pei Qian ignored Zhang Yuan's shock and turned to look at Manager Cui. "Manager Cui, I want to turn this place into a high-end restaurant. Is that possible?"
Manager Cui was stunned and looked troubled. "Er, Boss Pei, this … in principle, it's best not to.
"However, if you're willing to pay in full, I'll definitely report to the higher-ups and communicate with the other owners. It might not be completely impossible …"
The main problem of turning a villa into a restaurant was that it would be a nuisance to the other owners.
The good thing was that this standalone villa was located far away from the other villas. It should not be a nuisance to the residents.
The biggest problem was that there would be cars coming and going from the restaurant. It would cause all sorts of people to enter and leave the villa area. On one hand, it would be difficult to manage. On the other hand, it might cause other owners to be unhappy.
However, to Manager Cui, this was not something that he could not compromise on.
A high-end restaurant would be an additional dining option for the residents here. What's more, these few buildings had not been sold because of their high asking prices. Now that a baller was finally willing to take over and pay in full, Manager Cui could not possibly let this opportunity go so easily.
As for whether this restaurant would be profitable in such a remote place …
It did not matter.
In any case, the developer of Ming Yun Villas would sell the villas and earn money. Boss Pei, it was his business to lose money. It would not be bad for the developer at all. In fact, it would be good for him.
Pei Qian nodded. Since Manager Cui said that he could make an exception, there must be a chance.
Even if he had to spend more money? It was all System Funds anyway; it was not a problem!
…
Soon, Assistant Xin arrived.
Pei Qian could tell that she was shocked.
Boss Pei wanted to buy a house all of a sudden? What's more, it was a hilltop villa in the suburbs with such a poor price-quality ratio? What's more, it was under the company's name?
This was a little sudden, but Assistant Xin did not ask too many questions. She only followed Pei Qian's instructions to bargain, sign the contract, and settle everything else.
Pei Qian leisurely sipped his tea and waited at the side. Then, he sent a message to Lu Mingliang.
"Take some time to develop a new epic weapon for Ocean Stronghold. Limited to ten thousand. Once they are sold out, it will be out of print forever."
He did not want to earn a lot of money.
Pei Qian would never kill the goose that laid the golden eggs.
Ocean Stronghold was in a very good state now. Many people had fallen into the trap precisely because of the scarcity of weapons in the game. It was worth hyping.
If a gun like the Barrett Doom was really sold, it would be a serious blow to the game's economy.
Thus, after some consideration, Pei Qian decided that in order for Ocean Stronghold to continue earning money and for this chicken that laid golden eggs to lay eggs regularly and rhythmically, he could sell three types of weapons in the future:
The first type would be the Barrett Doom. Limited to five hundred guns a month. They would be refreshed next month so that it would slowly depreciate in value. Most people would be able to afford it.
The second type would be the epic weapon this time. Ten thousand guns would be sold at once. It would be out of print forever, and its value would slowly rise.
For an epic weapon like the Red Qilin that would never be sold, Pei Qian would not consider selling a second one for the time being.
Otherwise, if the revenue was accidentally raised, he would not be able to lower it even if he wanted to. That would also be a drain on the spending power of many players.
Of course, a weapon that would be out of print might not really be out of print forever. In the future, it would be reasonable for him to hold a vote or win a lottery or something like that.
As long as he continued to sell the ten thousand epic weapons this time, he would be able to fill up the hole in the villa. That way, he would not have to break the capital chain. It would not affect the game's development progress or other investment projects.
Since it was a full payment, he did not need to go through all sorts of complicated loan procedures. Thus, the process was completed very quickly. The results would be out in about three to five days.
Pei Qian estimated that the procedures, modifications, and renovations would be completed by the beginning of next month.
It would be just in time for the Best Employee Selection on August 1st. It would be perfectly justifiable for him to have a big meal here and send this lucky guy off happily.
However, this time, the System actually allowed Pei Qian to buy a property to open a restaurant. That surprised him.
Was it because this place that Pei Qian had his eyes on could not be rented and could only be bought?
Or was it because the company's funds could now support such expenditures?
Although this villa could not be used as a residence and could only be used as a restaurant, the System had relaxed its requirements. That was a good thing!
