After the meal …
As usual, Pei Qian arranged for the chauffeur to send Teacher Qiao away while he stayed in the private room to chat with Lin Canrong.
This conversation was a little heavy for Boss Pei.
Ming Yun Private Kitchen was already popular. It was too late to make up for it. He could only give Lin Canrong a few instructions to prevent the situation from worsening.
The dining table in the private room had been cleaned. Lin Canrong sat opposite Pei Qian, his face full of smiles.
During this period, Lin Canrong had been extremely busy.
Ever since Ming Yun Private Kitchen became popular, it had been fully booked for lunch and dinner. It was even booked until next week.
At first, he had been bored to death. Now, he was so busy that he wanted to vomit blood.
Every day, he had to order the ingredients according to the reservation records, set up the private room and dining table according to the customers' orders, coordinate the work of the waiters, and deal with all kinds of unexpected situations …
Fortunately, Ming Yun Private Kitchen had enough chefs and waiters. What's more, they were all well-trained waiters. That was why they did not get flustered.
Although he was very busy, Lin Canrong enjoyed it. He felt that his value was being fully realized.
Boss Pei had handed such a good restaurant to him. Of course, he could not let Boss Pei down. He had to make it more popular. He had to become the best food and beverage brand in Jingzhou City!
The good thing was that although there were more customers, there were not many private kitchen seats in the original plan. Thus, these people could still manage.
Speaking of this, Lin Canrong admired Boss Pei's foresight even more.
Before this, Ming Yun Private Kitchen was very quiet. Not many people came. Boss Pei had asked Lin Canrong to take charge of the restaurant's work and not to worry too much about publicity.
Thus, it became popular within two weeks!
Fortunately, Lin Canrong had been very obedient. He had placed all his focus on the kitchen and service. That ensured a high standard of dining experience. That was why Ming Yun Private Kitchen's reputation remained high.
Boss Pei's instructions this time should also be very forward-looking suggestions.
Pei Qian sipped his tea and said calmly, "It's nothing important. I'm just giving you a few simple instructions.
"In terms of ingredients, don't use shoddy ones. Do not think that customers will not notice if you skimp on the ingredients. Treat every customer like a gourmet connoisseur.
"Do not add more seats in the restaurant. Maintain the current number of seats.
"Also, don't do things like prohibiting people from bringing their own drinks, setting minimum fees for private rooms, and paying extra for disinfecting tableware."
"I've already mentioned all of this at the beginning, so I'll emphasize it again."
"As you know, all of our company's projects, including Ming Yun Private Kitchen, are based on reputation.
Pei Qian felt that there was a need to emphasize this again.
What if Lin Canrong was obsessed with money and wanted to add a few more seats, or come up with some overbearing rules that forbade people from bringing their own drinks or set a minimum spending limit for private rooms? Wouldn't that be even more profitable?
There was still more than a month before settlement. Ming Yun Private Kitchen was already a burden to Boss Pei. He could not let the burden increase any further!
Otherwise, if they couldn't even make a loss, they would really vomit blood.
Lin Canrong hurriedly nodded. "I understand, Boss Pei. You're afraid that I'll care too much about earning money and affect Ming Yun Private Kitchen's reputation.
"Don't worry, Boss Pei. I'll keep that in mind and put the customer's reputation first!"
Pei Qian nodded. "… yes."
Although Lin Canrong didn't understand his true meaning, the result was the same …
Ming Yun Private Kitchen's situation was already like this. Pei Qian didn't have any good ideas. As long as things did not worsen, he would be thankful.
"There's nothing else. Go back to your work. I'll go to the Fish-Catching Internet Cafe next door."
Pei Qian left Ming Yun Private Kitchen and walked out of the villa.
The sky gradually darkened. Pei Qian turned back to look at the brightly lit Ming Yun Private Kitchen. For some reason, he felt an indescribable sadness in his heart.
Terrible!
Pei Qian sighed silently. He prepared to leave Ming Yun Villas and head to the nearby Fish-Catching Internet Cafe for a cup of coffee.
Only the quiet and peaceful Fish-Catching Internet Cafe could soothe his wounded heart.
He had just taken two steps when he heard someone call out, "Boss Pei?"
Pei Qian was stunned. He turned around and saw that it was Manager Cui, whom he had not seen in a long time.
This was the project marketing manager of Ming Yun Villas. When Pei Qian bought this villa previously, Manager Cui had personally come to show him the place.
Manager Cui was overjoyed to see Pei Qian. "What a coincidence, Boss Pei. We actually met! I was thinking about visiting you to thank you in person! "
Pei Qian was stunned. "Thank me?"
Manager Cui laughed. "That's right, Boss Pei. Of course, I have to thank you!
"Look, this is the new slogan for Ming Yun Villas."
Manager Cui tapped on his cell phone a few times and opened a PDF image. It was the new marketing material for Ming Yun Villas.
Pei Qian received the cell phone, confused.
Pei Qian had seen the publicity material for Ming Yun Villas when he bought the villa previously.
The publicity material was nothing more than a few pictures of the villa district, the scenery, and the like, along with some slogans.
For example: 'Original scenery, natural.'
'Between real mountains and real rivers, real villas hide real things.'
'Villas in villas lead the new fashion.'
'Living in a building with beautiful weather; appreciation is in sight.' and so on.
All in all, Pei Qian felt that the previous publicity material was very fake. It was nothing more than a fancy way to boast about how good the villa district was. He had not taken it seriously.
However, the new publicity material on Manager Cui's cell phone was completely different from before!
'Ming Yun Villas lead Jingzhou's new business district.'
'Far from the hustle and bustle, but close to prosperity.'
'The nameless restaurant is in your backyard.'
'Enjoy northern and southern cuisine and meet Jingzhou's celebrities.'
What's more, the pictures on the publicity material were completely different from before!
Apart from the original villa and scenery pictures, there were also many pictures of Ming Yun Private Kitchen and the surrounding business environment!
One was' Jingzhou's new business district. '
The pictures showed the various shops near Ming Yun Villas. There were internet cafes, bars, chess rooms, coffee shops, and so on. It looked very lively.
Another was' The popular five-star divine restaurant on Quanmin Reviews, the nameless restaurant, is here! '
The pictures showed Quanmin Reviews' Ming Yun Private Kitchen page and some pictures of Ming Yun Private Kitchen's interior.
There was another one: 'Neighbors with Jingzhou's celebrities.'
The pictures showed the various luxury cars parked near Ming Yun Private Kitchen, as well as pictures of successful people in suits and leather shoes.
Pei Qian felt a little dizzy.
What's going on?!
Manager Cui did not notice that Boss Pei's face was pale, probably because it was already late. He said excitedly, "Boss Pei, we've used all these advertisements. We should be able to see results in a week or two!
"Our boss has spent a lot of money this time as well. He's bought advertising spots in newspapers, television stations, real estate brochures, magazines, buses, subways, real estate sales websites, and billboards in Jingzhou City Center!"
Pei Qian felt even more dizzy.
What the hell?
You've bought advertising spots in so many places?
Wait, I thought you couldn't sell the villas in this area?
I even did some research before I bought them. Didn't they say that the villas in this area have no investment value and are not cost-effective?
Why are you suddenly promoting them with such great fanfare?
What's more, you can promote them; don't drag my restaurant into this!
Pei Qian panicked. "You're spending so much money on publicity. Aren't you afraid of incurring losses …?"
Manager Cui laughed. "Boss Pei, you must be joking. Don't you know that we're not incurring losses?
"To be honest, when you first bought this villa, I didn't think too much about it. I thought you were just buying it for a vacation.
"Later, I realized that you're really smart!"
Manager Cui raised his thumb excitedly.
"This nameless restaurant's reputation has spread. It's now the most popular high-end restaurant in Jingzhou! I heard that reservations are already two weeks away. It's so hard to get a seat!
"Many big bosses in Jingzhou have to make reservations in advance if they want to eat here!
"However, many bosses feel that it's very troublesome to travel back and forth for business banquets. Guests come from afar, and they have to travel so far to eat a meal before returning. It's too much trouble.
"That's why many bosses have come to look at houses. They want to buy a villa specifically to receive guests from afar. They can also come and stay for a while on normal days.
"Of course, that's not the only reason they're buying houses. They're also interested in the appreciation potential of this place!
"Recently, the news has spread in Jingzhou's investment circle that this place will become Jingzhou City's new business district in the future!
"Many people have already heard the news. The shops outside were originally closed, but now, they've all been rented or bought!
"That's a good sign. The attention of the entire Jingzhou City is now focused on this place. Naturally, the property prices here will rise as well.
"Our boss has already decided to increase the prices of all the unsold villas. We can't sell them cheaply anymore!
"Boss Pei, your villas will definitely increase in value. Six million yuan will easily rise to ten million yuan. That won't be a problem!"
Pei Qian's legs turned to jelly, and he almost knelt down.
Increased to ten million???
That would be a f * cking disaster!
Pei Qian wanted to vomit blood. Who said that this was Jingzhou's new business district? Who?
How could there be any shops outside? Didn't I trick Boss Li into buying them?
Wait, Boss Li …
Pei Qian suddenly realized a problem. Li Shi was the boss of Fu Hui Investments. He was indeed quite influential in Jingzhou's investment circle.
A while ago, he had been investing crazily in opening shops near Ming Yun Villas.
Now that Ming Yun Private Kitchen had become popular, Boss Li must have been paying attention to this matter!
In other words, Boss Li would definitely think that Ming Yun Private Kitchen was Boss Pei's backup plan. It was a key pawn in Ming Yun Villas!
Based on Boss Li's character, he would definitely seize this opportunity to continue investing in this place.
Pei Qian had a bad feeling about this.
He had thought that Ming Yun Private Kitchen becoming popular was the worst news. However, from the looks of it, that was not the case at all!
If this area really became popular, it would definitely affect Fish-Catching Internet Cafe and the shops around it.
What's more, the value of the villas would increase!
Could this be the legendary 'misfortunes never come singly' …?
Pei Qian silently handed the cell phone back to Manager Cui, his entire being in a daze.
Manager Cui did not know that Boss Pei had been hit by the sudden bad news. He thought that Boss Pei had expected all of this, which was why Boss Pei was so calm.
"Boss Pei, our boss said that he would visit you to thank you one day. You've helped us a lot this time. We have to show our gratitude.
"In terms of publicity, we will definitely bundle Ming Yun Villas with your nameless restaurant to promote it. We will make your restaurant more well-known.
"In addition, your villa's property management fees and cleaning fees will be permanently waived. Utilities will also be permanently discounted by fifty percent.
"We will also give you a few free parking spaces.
"Also, we will hire a professional gardening team to trim the garden in your villa's backyard. We will send people to take care of it regularly.
"Of course, this is just a small amount of money to you. It's not worth mentioning, but this is also a token of our appreciation."
"All in all, you will be the most respected owner of Ming Yun Villas from now on. You will also be our friend forever!"
