Pei Qian was no longer in the mood after what Zhang Yuan had done.
Originally, he only wanted to come here to play games, but in the end, he encountered an employee who was secretly causing trouble!
Angry!
Pei Qian turned off his computer and sat down in the coffee area. He ordered a cup of coffee and thought about life as he sipped.
Life is so difficult!
After careful calculation, Pei Qian realized that the only projects that were still incurring losses were Upwind Logistics and Fish-Catching Take-Out.
Suddenly being stabbed in the back was too difficult to handle.
Pei Qian pondered. Before settlement, he could not let his guard down. He had to plan ahead.
It was about time to consider Fish-Catching Take-Out and Upwind Logistics' future development.
That was especially so for Fish-Catching Take-Out. At the moment, it was only relying on Fish-Catching Internet Cafe. Thus, it could only deliver food to the areas around Fish-Catching Internet Cafe.
However, Fish-Catching Internet Cafe 1.0 was already making money. Whether it was the commission from selling drinks or the computer services in the internet cafe, they were all making steady profits. The internet cafe had long turned its losses into profits.
Pei Qian pondered whether he should find a chance to take Fish-Catching Take-Out apart.
Try to take the form of chain fast food, customers can eat in the store, or order take-out.
That way, he would be able to ditch the profitable Fish-Catching Internet Cafe 1.0 and expand Fish-Catching Take-Out to the entire Jingzhou. That way, he would be able to incur more losses.
However, he had to think about it again. Would there be any hidden dangers in doing so?
If something went wrong and Fish-Catching Take-Out, which had been incurring losses, started to profit, it would not be worth it.
Hmm, I have to think this through.
Pei Qian sipped his coffee as he pondered.
…
"Boss Pei has been very relaxed recently.
"Looks like the haunted house project is progressing well?"
Pei Qian looked up and saw Li Shi sitting opposite him with a cup of coffee in his hand.
Pei Qian remained silent for a moment. "It's all thanks to Boss Li."
Very leisurely? On the surface, that was indeed the case.
Progress at the haunted house? No good news was the best news ever.
"What, CEO Lee plans to invest in my Haunted House?"
Li Shi laughed awkwardly. "This … I can consider it, I can consider it."
He said that he could consider it, but in his heart, he was thinking, Don't mess around.
Li Shi looked at Pei Qian and realized that Boss Pei's expression was as calm as ever.
And it wasn't just calmness. There seemed to be a faint sense of boredom.
He could not help but sigh in his heart. Boss Pei was always so calm and unfathomable.
Today, Li Shi came with a purpose.
At first, he wanted to be polite, but on further thought, he realized that Boss Pei was not the kind of person who liked to be polite.
Since that was the case, he might as well get straight to the point!
Li Shi pondered for a moment and said, "Boss Pei, I want to work with you on a project. I don't know if you're interested."
Pei Qian smiled politely.
You have a project to cooperate with me?
A project that Director Li was interested in was definitely not a good project!
After all, Manager Li had been in the investment circle for a long time. He might not be able to make a profit with every investment he made, but his foresight was still better than the average investor. The probability of making a profit was very high.
Moreover, a fall into the pit, a gain in wit.
Pei Qian was extremely distrustful of such cooperation models based on his past experience with them.
Pei Qian sighed. "Boss Li, when you have a project that will definitely incur losses, I will definitely invest in it."
Li Shi laughed. "Boss Pei can always say such humorous things with a straight face."
Pei Qian, "…"
Li Shi continued. "I heard that Boss Pei's investment company had just been established, and he invested a lot of money in a new overseas game company.
"The prospects are very good!
"Boss Pei, may I ask if this is a project that will definitely incur losses?"
Pei Qian, "…"
Your question makes so much sense that I can't refute it at that moment.
"If I told you that I invested in this project without knowing anything, would you believe me?" Pei Qian looked at Li Shi very sincerely.
Li Shi smiled again. "Boss Pei, you're good in every aspect, but your biggest problem is that you love to lie to people!
"Ai, I understand. Business is business, and there's nothing too deceitful in war."
Pei Qian, "…"
Li Shi obviously did not want to continue dwelling on this. "Boss Pei, let's talk business.
"This time, I really have a project that I sincerely want to work with you on.
"Two other friends and I want to work with you to open a nameless restaurant chain."
Pei Qian, "?"
A nameless restaurant chain?
One nameless restaurant has already made me vomit blood. Another one?
I'm afraid you're a spy sent by a rival company!
Eh? That's not right. Boss Li is a rival company to begin with …
Pei Qian sipped his coffee. "I won't consider it."
Li Shi, "… Boss Pei's rejection is always so straightforward."
Boss Pei had rejected him before he had even said anything.
Wouldn't it be better to open another chain so that everyone could happily earn money together?
What's more, even if he was not interested in working with Boss Pei and wanted to monopolize the profits, he should not have rejected him without even hearing the proposal, right?
However, he had interacted with Boss Pei many times after all. He knew Boss Pei's temper.
Li Shi calmed himself down. "Boss Pei, we don't mean anything else.
"The nameless restaurant is your family's business. You can eat there whenever you want, but we're already queuing up until next month if we want to eat there …
"We just want to have a smooth meal."
"Is this wish too much?"
Pei Qian, "…"
I can eat there whenever I want?
Boss Li, it seems like you have a slight misunderstanding of Ming Yun Private Kitchen's operating model …
I can only eat there five times a month!
However, on further thought, that was indeed the case.
It was already so difficult for Boss Pei to have a meal there, let alone others.
Now, Ming Yun Private Kitchen's reservations were already booked until two months later. To ordinary diners, this was an unbearable burden.
Pei Qian sighed softly. "Boss Li, you've misunderstood me.
I have no intention of monopolizing it. I've never thought of that.
"Forget it. Tell me about your proposal."
Li Shi nodded. "This idea stems from the resentment of not being able to eat good food. What's more, I'm not the only one in Jingzhou who feels resentful.
"Xue Zhebin and Wang Peng also feel the same way.
"Boss Pei, you should know these two people, right? One is Xue Yuanqing's only son, a professional rich second-generation heir. The other is the co-founder of Quanmin Reviews. "
Pei Qian, "…"
He knew them, he knew them too well!
They were the ones who caused Ming Yun Private Kitchen to become popular!
Boss Pei still remembered clearly what happened that day.
Xue Zhebin, the rich second-generation heir, had been attracted by Zhang Zuting's Weibo and then brought Wang Peng over.
Wang Peng had personally written a review for Ming Yun Private Kitchen on Quanmin Reviews, and then … there was no more.
After that, Ming Yun Villas had used Ming Yun Private Kitchen as a publicity stunt. Boss Li had taken the opportunity to raise the prices of nearby restaurants, causing Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's Ming Yun Villas branch to become popular as well.
That was all in the future.
All in all, Boss Pei gritted his teeth at the mention of these two people.
Now, they want me to earn money with them?
Dream on!
Li Shi did not notice the change in Boss Pei's expression. He continued speaking. "Boss Pei, the three of us are loyal customers of Ming Yun Private Kitchen!
"However, we have no choice. Waiting is too painful!
"It was fine when there were few people at first, but more and more people came.
"Making reservations a week in advance was still acceptable. However, making reservations a month in advance was completely different!
"At first, we booked the restaurant according to the itinerary. Now, we booked the itinerary according to the restaurant!
"Now, we have to plan ahead if we want to book a large-scale business banquet at Ming Yun Private Kitchen. We have to make reservations first and then invite our business partners to Jingzhou when the time for the reservation is almost up.
"It's too inconvenient!"
Pei Qian sighed silently.
He could only say that the three of them had reaped what they sowed.
Indeed, one had to compare one's own happiness.
Boss Pei could only book the entire place on the 20th of every month and take the largest private room once a week. That was already very inconvenient.
In the end, Boss Li and the other two were even worse off.
At this point, Pei Qian could not help but sympathize with the three of them.
Li Shi continued speaking. "Therefore, the three of us hit it off. We want to work with Boss Pei to open another branch of Ming Yun Private Kitchen!
"We've already discussed it. The three of us will provide money, manpower, and be in charge of the operation. Boss Pei, you can only use the 'nameless restaurant' brand. We'll give you dividends every month!
"Alternatively, if Boss Pei is worried about the prospects of making money, we can use the joining fee plus dividends model. We'll pay a joining fee first for the sake of the 'nameless restaurant' brand.
"We've already chosen the location. We plan to open it in a big shopping mall nearby. That way, we'll be able to guarantee traffic.
"All in all, the prospects are very good!"
Pei Qian fell silent.
It sounded like this project was a little too reliable!
It was so reliable that he did not dare to get involved …
Pei Qian thought about it and said very sincerely, "Boss Li, I really cannot participate in this project. What's more, the nameless restaurant brand is nothing. As long as your dishes are excellent and the service is good, you can create a new high-end food and beverage brand.
"However, don't worry, Boss Li. I'll support you spiritually!
"If you encounter any problems in the process of opening the restaurant, you can ask me at any time. I'll tell you everything I know!"
Li Shi sighed softly. "Alright, Boss Pei. I understand.
If I were you, I wouldn't hand over this golden brand so easily.
"After all, Boss Pei spent a lot of effort to build the nameless restaurant's brand value …"
Pei Qian, "…"
Misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding!
However, Pei Qian could not explain himself. He could only maintain his polite smile.
Li Shi said with slight regret, "Alright, we can only rely on ourselves, then. I hope Boss Pei can come and try the restaurant on the day of its opening! "
Pei Qian nodded vigorously. "Of course, I'll definitely go!
"Not only will I go, but I'll bring all the employees with me!
"Not just once in a while, but every few days!"
Li Shi smiled and said, "Boss Pei, you're the only one who can make polite words sound so sincere."
Pei Qian was speechless.
What do you mean by polite words? I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart!
If you can really open this restaurant and divert some customers to Ming Yun Private Kitchen so that I can eat at any time without having to queue up, I'll be more than grateful to you!
Li Shi said goodbye to Pei Qian and turned to leave.
Pei Qian silently gave him his sincere blessings.
"All the best, Boss Li. Try to defeat Ming Yun Private Kitchen as soon as possible!
