Pei Qian happily handed over the responsibility to Lu Mingliang.
Of course, considering that Lu Mingliang was Pei Qian's trusted subordinate, Pei Qian had to say some things first so that Lu Mingliang would not misunderstand Upwind Logistics' position.
"Upwind Logistics is part of our long-term plans. That's why we are currently incurring losses.
"However, you don't have to worry about that. Even if we incur more losses in the future, it doesn't matter if we incur losses for a few months or even a few years.
"Earning money is Upwind Logistics' last goal. You have to remember that."
After hearing Pei Qian's words, Lu Mingliang was stunned.
Earning money was Upwind Logistics' last goal?
What were Upwind Logistics' other goals?
Lu Mingliang pondered for a moment. "Boss Pei, are you saying that our main goal is to expand our customer base and to burn money to achieve rapid expansion?"
Pei Qian sipped his coffee. "That's only one aspect. There are many other goals.
"For example, creating convenience for everyone."
Lu Mingliang was stunned. He had not thought of that.
Pei Qian continued in a meaningful tone. "Most people in the express delivery industry pursue profits too much. The actual experience is terrible. One of Upwind Logistics' most important goals is to provide the best express delivery service for everyone.
"Other express delivery companies don't deliver to your doorstep, but we do.
"Other express delivery companies don't help unpack or throw away their trash, but we do.
"Other express delivery companies turn a blind eye to complaints, but when we receive complaints, we can't wrongly accuse our own employees, nor can we let our customers be wronged. We must find a proper solution. We can't just muddle through, we can't muddle through."
"All in all, we don't just need customers and money. We also need a good reputation. In fact, our reputation has to be the most important!
"My mission for you is to improve Upwind Logistics' reputation as much as possible. I even encourage you to burn money to build a good reputation.
"Remember, you are an employee of Tengda. Don't be afraid to spend money, understand?"
Lu Mingliang nodded profusely. "I understand, Boss Pei!"
After hearing Boss Pei's words, Lu Mingliang felt that he had made the right choice.
Putting his heart into creating a business that could provide convenience for everyone was meaningful and valuable even if he did not earn money!
Pei Qian was elated to see Lu Mingliang's reaction.
Indeed, he had found the right person!
The thing that Pei Qian was most satisfied with about Lu Mingliang was that he was obedient. He would do whatever Pei Qian said and would never act on his own.
Now, Lu Mingliang had obviously approved of Pei Qian's idea of 'burning money to build reputation'. That meant that Upwind Logistics would not be profitable for a long time to come.
Placing Lu Mingliang in Tengda Games might not necessarily result in a loss. However, placing him in Upwind Logistics was a completely different story!
As long as Lu Mingliang followed Pei Qian's plans, there was no way he wouldn't incur losses.
…
…
After making arrangements for Lu Mingliang, Pei Qian played games in Fish-Catching Internet Cafe for a while.
Jiang Yi could sense that the traffic in Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's Ming Yun Villas branch had decreased recently. Indeed, many people had been diverted by the new shops nearby.
The number of people surfing the net in the internet cafe area was ridiculously low.
Just as he was playing, Ma Yang arrived.
"Brother Qian, something bad has happened!"
"Recently, a new chain internet cafe brand has opened in Jingzhou City. It's called Xing Le Internet Cafe. It's also trying to go the high-end route.
"Moreover, they have also received an investment from Fu Hui Capital. It seems like they are quite aggressive!"
Pei Qian was stunned. "I remember that there's a new internet cafe nearby …"
Ma Yang said anxiously, "It's a branch of Xing Le Internet Cafe!
"What's more, I've done some research. Xing Le Internet Cafe's environment is slightly worse than ours, and their computers cannot be compared to ours. However, their prices are much cheaper. That's why they're quite popular!"
Pei Qian did not say anything as he quickly considered the cause and effect of this matter.
To put it bluntly, Xing Le Internet Cafe's business model was a low-end version of Fish-Catching Internet Cafe. Although the computers were low-end, the environment was slightly worse, and the space was more cramped, it lowered costs. Pei Qian could set the prices at a lower price.
That way, customers who were used to traditional internet cafes would have an easier time transitioning. They would not be dissuaded by the high prices.
What's more, this internet cafe chain had received an investment from Fu Hui Investments.
Indeed, Boss Li was behind all of this.
Pei Qian knew that Boss Li would not give up so willingly. He had been paying attention to Pei Qian. Otherwise, he would not have gone to such a remote place to invest in an internet cafe, bar, and chess room.
Pei Qian was so touched that he wanted to cry.
This Manager Li was his true love, no doubt about it!
Boss Li always tried his best to help Pei Qian. He was such a good person!
"What should we do, Brother Qian? Are we going to do the same as before? "Ma Yang was a little anxious.
Something like this had happened once before. At that time, they had targeted Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's flagship store.
However, this time, the enemy was an internet cafe chain. They had targeted all of Fish-Catching Internet Cafes!
What's more, they had managed to turn the tables the last time because of Chen Lei. Pei Qian had set up a hidden chess piece.
What's more, how could they turn the tables now? Pei Qian might not have a second Chen Lei in his hands.
Pei Qian forcefully suppressed his smile. "Don't worry, I have my ways."
After comforting Ma Yang, Pei Qian felt elated and decided to go back to rest.
His cell phone rang. It was Huang Sibo.
Pei Qian was stunned. Immediately, he became alert.
Why was he calling?!
Ever since they filmed Coming Out of the Cocoon as a Butterfly, Fei Huang Workspace had been in a state of confusion.
They had made a loss. Although Boss Pei did not say anything, Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce both blamed themselves.
It was still early before the System would judge them as' slacking off '. Naturally, Pei Qian did not rush them.
However, since they were calling this time, it was likely that they had already thought of their next plan.
Pei Qian calmed himself down and picked up the phone.
Huang Sibo's excited voice came from the other end of the line. "Boss Pei, we have confirmed Fei Huang Workspace's next goal. We plan to combine digital product reviews with short videos. We will film a brand new short video review!"
Pei Qian, "??"
He was a little confused.
Combine digital product reviews with short videos? Who came up with this strange idea in the blink of an eye?
Pei Qian asked doubtfully, "Why do you plan to do this?"
Huang Sibo said excitedly, "A UP Master on Aili Island called 'Hardcore Reviews' inspired us!
"Actually, digital product reviews have always been a promising industry. However, we had not considered this before. We felt that our professionalism was not up to standard. We were not competitive with other professional review media.
"However, after watching 'Hardcore Reviews', we were inspired. We did not need so much professional knowledge!
"We can start from the daily experience of ordinary consumers and use a short video to introduce our products to the audience. That way, it would be more grounded and interesting.
"What's more, it should be easier to cash in such areas. We would not suffer huge losses like we did previously.
"What's more, we started out by making short videos. We have a huge advantage in this area. We also have a fixed audience!"
Pei Qian was dumbfounded.
How could I have anything to do with this???
