After listening to Li Shi's words, Pei Qian understood.
Indeed, Boss Li was the one who tried to bribe Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's employees.
Boss Li had indeed been tricked by the fake information that Pei Qian had released previously.
This time, Boss Li was not trying to suppress Fish-Catching Internet Cafe or invest in it. Instead, he felt that Pei Qian's investment would definitely become popular. That was why he came to leech off the popularity …
After Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's flagship store became popular, it did bring a lot of traffic to the street. The surrounding shops were not as popular as Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, but they all benefited from it.
In that incident, Manager Li made a small profit, but not a lot.
Considering that Boss Li could earn more money in other areas, it was a loss to him.
Boss Li might have invested in those shops, but he did not invest much. He had spent a lot of money on promotions in the early stages. Thus, Boss Li, who had high expectations, would not be satisfied.
However, the situation was different this time.
The traffic around Ming Yun Villas was too low. Thus, no one wanted the shops. The cost of buying them now was very low.
If Boss Pei really made Ming Yun Villas popular again, then these shops would instantly become money trees. Whether they kept them or sold them, they would definitely be able to make a huge profit.
How could Boss Li just 'drink the soup' then?
However, the premise of all this was that the area around Ming Yun Villas really became popular …
Pei Qian could not help but feel emotional.
Boss Li, Boss Li, your reasoning is perfect, and your execution is very strong. However … you missed out on a known condition …
Of course, Boss Li could not be blamed. Who would have thought that there was a system in the world where the more you lose money, the more you earn?
At that moment, Pei Qian even felt a little sympathy.
If it were anyone else, Boss Pei would not have shown mercy.
However, the warm-hearted Boss Li had already been cheated by Pei Qian once.
One could not catch a sheep and pull it hard. What if it went bald?
Thus, Pei Qian decided to hint to Boss Li not to invest too much.
Until now, Boss Li had invested in a chain of internet cafes, a bar, a coffee shop, and a chess room nearby. That was already a great help to Pei Qian.
What if Boss Li continued to invest more money in it?
In that case, Pei Qian would have to worry. If he made Boss Li bald this time, he would not be able to continue developing in the future.
Letting Boss Li suffer a little less was already being extremely benevolent.
At that thought, Pei Qian decided to give Boss Li a hint.
He took a sip of his cocktail and said as sincerely as he could, "Mr. Li, to tell you the truth."
"Luck played a part in Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's flagship store's popularity the last time. It is basically impossible for the Ming Yun Villas branch to replicate the flagship store's success. "
"The chances of this place becoming popular are actually not high. I'm just giving it a try …"
Pei Qian was already hinting as much as he could.
Li Shi smiled and gave an 'I understand' look. "Boss Pei, you're too humble."
"Of course, luck plays a part in every success. This is very normal. However, mediocre people will only wait for luck, and geniuses will create luck. In my opinion, Boss Pei is undoubtedly someone who can create luck. "
"As far as I know, Boss Pei has invested a lot in this area.
"Apart from the internet cafe, Boss Pei has also opened an Upwind Courier station here. What's more, I think he and Boss Ma went to the nearby area to survey the business environment.
"Boss Pei would not have persisted until now if he felt that there was no hope.
"I appreciate Boss Pei's kind intentions, but you're underestimating me.
"Investments are risky. I've been in the investment circle for so long; I'm aware of that."
Alright, I'm wasting my breath.
Pei Qian could not help but feel emotional. Alright, since Boss Li knows what he's doing, I won't say more. I can only wish you good luck.
It was also fortunate that Boss Li did not know that Pei Qian had bought a villa and opened a private kitchen. If Boss Li knew about this, he would be even more determined.
Pei Qian raised his hand and beckoned the waiter. "Boss Li, you can come again in the future.
Boss Li, Boss Li, I can't repay you for helping me so much. I can only treat you to a few more drinks.
Li Shi could not help but feel warmth in his heart.
Of course, he did not care about a few drinks. However, the fact that Boss Pei would always be free represented Boss Pei's sincerity!
This friendship was priceless.
Li Shi could not help but praise Boss Pei in his heart. Although Boss Pei was young, he was very open-minded.
Li Shi raised his glass. "Thank you, Boss Pei. I hope that we can work together and earn a lot! "
Pei Qian clinked glasses with him and smiled as he endured the vicious curse. He cursed at the bottom of his heart.
…
…
August 11th …
At Shang Yang Games …
"Director Lin, so … we're choosing him in the end?" Ye Zhizhou said this without much confidence.
"Yes, let's choose him." Lin Wan obviously agreed reluctantly, but she had no other choice.
After receiving the publicity plan from Boss Pei, Shang Yang Games followed Boss Pei's suggestion and contacted some Hong Kong and Taiwan celebrities. They contacted all of them, whether they were popular or outdated.
However, it was difficult to agree on the price.
The relatively popular Hong Kong celebrities were asking for more than five million yuan a year. The cheapest ones were at least two to three million yuan.
One had to know that Bloody Battle Song: The Powerful Version only cost about five million yuan.
The publicity budget that Boss Pei had given them was more than three million yuan. Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin had thought that they would not be able to finish spending it. However, when they asked about the prices of celebrities, they realized that they were too young.
Bloody Battle Song had advertised before, but they had never hired a celebrity like that. The advertising fees they had spent on it were only a few hundred thousand yuan at most.
Comparing the two, Ye Zhizhou immediately felt that it was too expensive and not worth it!
Lin Wan was not satisfied with this price either.
The main reason was that the price-performance ratio was too low.
Although publicity was very important to the sales of games, Lin Wan had been working at Tengda for a long time. She had seen several games that were equally popular without spending a lot of money on publicity.
Spending five million yuan to hire a Hong Kong celebrity to endorse them? That would be a good idea.
Thus, Lin Wan felt that the price-performance ratio was very low.
However, Boss Pei's publicity plan was right there. They had to hire the celebrities that they needed.
The three of them picked and chose one from the pile of Hong Kong celebrities that had a good price-performance ratio.
Zhang Zuting was 41 years old this year. Although he was already past his prime and his latest few movies had all failed badly, he was still considered a popular young actor when he was younger. He had acted in many popular dramas and was quite influential among the middle-aged crowd. Zhang Zuting was 41 years old.
The endorsement fee was about two million yuan. Although Lin Wan still felt that it was a little expensive, it was cheap compared to the others.
That way, they could buy more advertisements on the website with the remaining money.
Thus, after much consideration, Shang Yang Games unanimously decided to choose him!
Next, they had to invite Zhang Zuting to Jingzhou to sign the contract and film the advertisement.
Of course, they could do it outside of Jingzhou. However, everyone felt that since they had already spent the endorsement fee, they had to find a chance to watch.
Even if he was an outdated celebrity, they could still show off in front of their friends by taking a photo together and asking for an autograph.
"It's decided, then. Invite Zhang Zuting to Jingzhou!"
