Pei Qian did not believe a single word of Li Shi's.
In business, Manager Li was a veteran investor. How could he really invest money in projects that could not be recovered at a glance?
Pei Qian had already revealed the haunted house to Boss Li a long time ago. He had even pretended to invite him to join him. At that time, Boss Li only laughed and did not respond at all.
Obviously, Li Shi did not want to get involved because he felt that the haunted house could not be built.
Why did he change his mind now?
Obviously, 'thank you, Boss Pei, for your support' was just an excuse. It was just a formality.
Could it be that Li Shi had seen the possibility of making a haunted house profitable after thinking and investigation?
Pei Qian thought about it carefully. The Thriller Hostel had been working for nearly a month.
Progress was very fast because they were only working on the small projects at the moment. Perhaps in a few days, they would be able to experience one or two of the small projects.
Then, Boss Li would naturally find that Boss Pei was very serious about this haunted house and that progress was very fast.
In short, there must be some misunderstanding.
Pei Qian sighed softly. "Boss Li, I remember that you were not optimistic about the haunted house project before. Can you tell me why you changed your mind?"
What he meant was: Boss Li, what do you think about the haunted house project? I'll change it, alright?
Li Shi smiled and said, "Well … it might sound a little absurd."
Pei Qian smiled and thought to himself: It's alright, it doesn't matter how absurd the reason is. I'll definitely make Chen Kangtuo and the others change it!
Li Shi continued. "Actually, I'm optimistic about the haunted house project not because of the haunted house itself, but because of some thoughts I had when I opened this restaurant recently."
Pei Qian, "?"
What did the thoughts of opening a restaurant have to do with the haunted house?
Li Shi said, "Ming House got off to a bad start. I've been reflecting over the past few days. Why?
"Thinking about it carefully, the key lies in some details. These details directly affect the customer's consumption experience and determine the reputation of high-end restaurants …"
Li Shi began to analyze seriously.
Pei Qian sipped his tea and tried hard to maintain his expression.
Boss Li, you're thinking too much! The reason why Ming House got off to a bad start was because I accidentally brought Lil Tang with me that day and accidentally hurt our allies …
But this kind of thing couldn't be said out loud, so he could only silently drink tea and keep it in his heart.
Li Shi analyzed frantically and then sighed. "That's why I feel that it was very difficult for you to create the nameless restaurant back then, Boss Pei!"
"The situation of the nameless restaurant at the beginning is very similar to the situation of this haunted house!"
"But even so, the nameless restaurant still became popular!"
"I realized that no matter how ridiculous the project is, Boss Pei seems to have injected a soul into it as long as it passes through his hands!
"Boss Pei, you must be completely confident since you've decided to create a haunted house. Therefore, even though I still don't know how Boss Pei plans to promote this haunted house, I believe in you! "
Mr. Li's attitude was very sincere.
Pei Qian was speechless.
Just because of this?
At first, Pei Qian had thought that he would change the haunted house wherever Boss Li liked it.
In the end, it was actually because of such a ridiculous reason.
Pei Qian was speechless. "Boss Li, I appreciate your kindness, but the risk of a haunted house project is really high. I'm sincerely doing this for your own good."
Pei Qian spoke very sincerely. He did not intend to let Boss Li interfere at all. The success rate of Thriller Hostel might be extremely low, but he could not forget the lesson of Ming Yun Private Kitchen.
What if Boss Li built some supporting facilities next to Thriller Hostel and attracted other investors to follow suit, and then turned this area into a very popular new business district …
Wouldn't that be the end of it?
However, Li Shi smiled, obviously not believing it at all.
"Boss Pei, since you think that this is good intentions, don't take it. There's no need to be so polite between us. Just accept it."
"Don't worry, I will definitely not blindly interfere with the business. I just want to earn a little profit. If there's money, we can earn together, isn't that good?"
"Or, if Boss Pei thinks that investing in a haunted house is not appropriate, can you recommend other investment projects for me? Let me invest in Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, and we can open a few more branches?
"Or … I can go to Lincheng and invest some money?"
Boss Li's expression was very sincere.
Pei Qian: "…"
Threat, this was a very obvious threat!
Pei Qian understood as soon as he heard the two words' Lincheng '. He had already told Zhang Yuan to keep a low profile, but the movements in Lincheng obviously could not be hidden from Boss Li.
Previously, ROF had made a lot of money because of the increase in the price of memory chips. Pei Qian had no choice but to let Zhang Yuan enter Lincheng, hoping to open the Fish-Catching Business Complex in a remote place like Lincheng and spend the extra funds.
However, Li Shi had been watching Pei Qian and was very well-informed. How could he not know?
Pei Qian was in a dilemma.
He could indeed ignore Li Shi, but Li Shi could invest this money in Lincheng and then invest in a few bars, a few cafes, a few shops, and the like in the Fish-Catching Business Complex …
The future of the Fish-Catching Business Complex in Lincheng was probably uncertain due to the brand effect of Fish-Catching Internet Cafe and the hot speculation of Boss Li and various investment institutions in Handong Province …
Pei Qian felt that he was in a very difficult situation now. To him, what Li Shi said was basically 'do you want to be dignified or do you want me to help you?'
If he did not agree to let Boss Li invest in the haunted house, Boss Li's money would probably be invested in Lincheng. That could not be stopped.
He had to choose one of the two.
Pei Qian felt very melancholic. After weighing the pros and cons, Pei Qian felt that Lincheng was more dangerous.
After all, the Fish-Catching Internet Cafe was a successful project. Even if Lincheng was a new market, Boss Li's intervention probably pointed to disaster …
Pei Qian never thought that he would be threatened by such a thing.
Li Shi looked at Boss Pei's reaction and was also secretly puzzled.
What's going on? Why is Boss Pei so unwilling when I'm giving money to Boss Pei?
Why does his expression look like he wants me to cut his own flesh?
The two of them fell silent for a while, looking at each other without saying anything.
Pei Qian thought about it and asked, "Boss Li, are you really not afraid of losing?"
Li Shi nodded. "I'm not."
Pei Qian sighed softly. "Alright, I have two projects on hand. Boss Li, if you really want to thank me, you can choose any one to invest in.
"The first is the haunted house project, which is Thriller Hostel. The second is' Top Student, Come Quick ', an educational app that I've been preparing recently …"
Pei Qian said while observing Boss Li's expression.
Boss Li obviously did not know about the 'Top Student, Come Quick' project and listened very carefully.
Pei Qian did not understand some specific details of the project. He Desheng was the one who made the proposal, and Pei Qian did not ask about it. Thus, he simply explained the general direction.
In Pei Qian's opinion, these two projects were bound to lose money. Since Boss Li was not afraid of losing money, he would invest in whichever one he liked.
Li Shi thought about it for a while. "Alright, I'll invest in 'Top Student, Come Quick'!"
Obviously, Li Shi felt that 'Top Student, Come Quick' was more reliable compared to these two projects.
Pei Qian nodded. No matter what, everything would be fine as long as Boss Li did not invest in Lincheng.
…
…
January 18th, Tuesday …
At Dream Realization Ventures …
"Boss Pei, the app is done. Please take a look.
"This is the promotional material for the 'Top Student, Come Quick' project.
"Also, about Fu Hui Investments …"
Pei Qian felt a headache as he looked at the pile of information that He Desheng handed over.
He threw the information aside after just one glance, took the cell phone, and checked the 'Top Student, Come Quick' application.
It was done much faster than Pei Qian had imagined. It was done in about a week.
According to He Desheng, this company had done a similar project before. Thus, they only worked overtime to change the code of the previous failed project, changed the UI, added two new functions, and created the first version of 'Top Student, Come Quick'.
He Desheng added as if he was afraid that Boss Pei would be unhappy. "Don't worry, Boss Pei. The quality will not be a problem. This company might be outsourced, but they are very responsible …"
Pei Qian did not care about these things. It would be better if there was a problem with the quality of the application. It would die faster.
He just wanted to spend some money casually.
Pei Qian played around with the application and found that it only had the most basic functions.
There were two entrances to the application: the 'Top Student Entrance' and the 'Flunky Student Entrance'.
Entering from the Top Student Entrance, one could fill in one's own information, including school education, subjects that one was good at, knowledge level, and so on. One also had to submit some necessary information for real-name authentication.
It was much simpler to enter from the Flunky Student Entrance. One could post a request, and the top student would accept the order. Then, the two would reach a consensus to meet for tutoring and payment.
Pei Qian felt that this application was very similar to a taxi-hailing app.
In fact, He Desheng had planned more functions for this application, such as online video answers, search questions, and so on. However, he did not have enough time to do it.
Moreover, the current basic function was essentially to "bridge the gap", and it was far from complete.
There were few users at the beginning, and the application was not a problem. However, as the number of users increased, not only would the bandwidth of the server have to be expanded, but the architecture and stability of the software would also have to be improved.
Of course, there was no need to worry about these for the time being because the application did not have any users yet.
He Desheng set up a company for the 'Top Student, Come Quick' project. The shares were distributed according to the ratio of 60% for the entrepreneurial team, 30% for Dream Realization Ventures, and 10% for Fu Hui Investments.
Dream Realization Ventures invested two million yuan, and Fu Hui Investments invested one million yuan.
Boss Li wanted to invest more, but Pei Qian rejected him.
Boss Li had already made a lot of money by investing brainlessly. Now that Boss Pei accepted Boss Li's investment and let Boss Li lose a million yuan, he could pour a bucket of cold water on Boss Li. That way, Boss Li would no longer stick to Pei Qian like a dog skin plaster, and he would be much quieter in the future.
On the other hand, Pei Qian was still merciful. He did not intend to let Boss Li lose too much and lose too much.
Of course, part of the reason was to control risks. It was easy to get into trouble if there was too much money in this project.
Therefore, he told Boss Li to invest one million yuan first. He did not need so much money in the early stages. It would not be too late to invest more if the situation improved.
Of course, the entrepreneurial team was all his own people. Therefore, Pei Qian and Dream Realization Ventures controlled 90% of the shares. Boss Li had no interest in the operation of this project. On the surface, he said that he wanted to return a favor to Boss Pei, but in fact, he wanted to make a profit.
Therefore, the specific development of this project depended entirely on Pei Qian's decision.
Pei Qian did not look at the phone carefully and handed it back to He Desheng. "Alright, start advertising."
He Desheng was stunned. "Er, Boss Pei, aren't you a little anxious?"
He really wanted to say that even if he wanted to bluff people, he should at least be prepared, right?
This application was released with such a low completion rate. Even if it was to bluff people, wasn't it a little inappropriate?
Pei Qian waved his hand. "It's alright. Let's advertise first."
The application was low completion rate? That would be good.
Pei Qian was afraid that if the application was high and advertised again, Boss Li would bring a group of people to invest in it. It would be big trouble if the popularity of this project was really hyped up.
He could advertise with all his strength while the application was low now. He would spend money and get scolded. Then, everyone would not be optimistic about this project and GG on the spot. Boss Pei's goal would be achieved.
