April 25th, Monday …
Pei Qian pondered for a long time in his office and finally fixed his gaze on Otto Technologies.
Yesterday, Pei Qian readily accepted Guo Licheng's suggestion and decided to make an app for Deposit Fitness for reservations.
That way, not only would Deposit Fitness be much more expensive than other gyms, but it would also have many more unreasonable rules.
They would have to bundle Fish-Catching Take-Out's fitness meals.
They would have to bundle Deposit Fitness' app, or they would not be able to make reservations.
They would have to strictly follow the plan. Although they could be accommodated to a certain extent, it would be too old-fashioned and inflexible compared to other gyms.
That was already very, very dissuasive.
Pei Qian pondered. If someone said that such a gym could still make money, he would definitely suggest that he open one himself.
Take the app for example. Who had ever seen a gym that had to be booked on an app?
Adding that step would definitely dissuade many customers.
However, which department should make the app was a problem.
At the moment, many departments under Pei Qian had the ability to develop and maintain apps. Needless to say, the games department, Zhongdian Chinese Network, TPDb, and Fish-Catching Take-Out all had mobile apps.
Some mobile apps might not be used by many people, and their functions were very simple, but at least they existed.
There was no need to mention 'Top Student, Come Quick', which had the highest level of apps.
In addition, Otto Technologies obviously had the ability to develop this app, although it was a little overkill.
Pei Qian pondered who he should hand it over to.
No matter which department it was, the app developed would definitely reach a 'usable' level.
However, Pei Qian felt that he had to fully consider the relationship between the various departments given that he had been stabbed in the back by multiple departments previously. He had to prevent a magical chemical reaction between two departments, which would cause the situation to develop in an unpredictable direction.
His gaze swept across these departments one by one.
"The games department definitely won't do. They're all a bunch of brainiacs, and they're very good at using game production thinking on other projects. Who knows what terrible consequences there would be if they were involved in this matter.
"Zhongdian Chinese Network and TPDb seem to be the same group of people. Wouldn't it be very bad if TPDb gave Deposit Fitness a special recommendation or something?
"'Top Student, Come Quick'? This was even more unacceptable. 'Top Student, Come Quick' is so popular, and there are so many users in Jingzhou. Wouldn't it be the end of the story if there's a 'better body to learn better' campaign? "
"As for Fish-Catching Take-Out … that's not a good idea either. These two departments are already very close to each other now. If they get even closer to each other, or even work together on the application, the consequences would be unimaginable …
"What the hell? How did it become so dangerous before I knew it …"
Pei Qian thought about all these departments and realized that letting Deposit Fitness be in contact with any of them would bring him unpredictable risks.
There was thunder everywhere!
Finally, Pei Qian turned his attention to Otto Technologies.
Choosing Chang You's department to work on Deposit Fitness' application might seem like overkill, but wasn't that what Pei Qian wanted?
He would use the cell phone department, which was a huge threat to him, as an outsourcing company and develop an insignificant application so that they would not have time to do more threatening things. That would indirectly weaken Otto Technologies' combat power.
Of course, Pei Qian still had to remind Chang You not to pre-install the Deposit Fitness application on Otto Technologies' cell phones and not to promote the application in the cell phone shopping mall or anywhere else, considering the possible joint effects of Otto Technologies and the Deposit Fitness application.
All in all, he only had to work on the application and not be involved in any application promotion. He just had to make the application a subsidiary and a tool of Deposit Fitness.
There should be no problem that way, right?
Pei Qian thought about it and felt that this seemed to be the most reliable choice.
He planned to find a time to inform Chang You after making all these arrangements.
Knock, knock, knock.
Someone knocked on the office door.
Pei Qian looked up. It was the current person-in-charge of Fish-Catching Internet Cafe and ROF Computer-Installation, Xiao Peng.
Xiao Peng was originally the person-in-charge of Fish-Catching Internet Cafe in Lincheng. He had moved to Jingzhou because he had taken over Zhang Yuan's position.
Pei Qian could not help but frown slightly.
What was he doing here?!
Pei Qian could not help but have a headache when he saw the person-in-charge of such money-making departments knocking on his door.
It was definitely not good news. He had probably earned money again and was here to ask Pei Qian how to spend it!
"What's the matter?" Pei Qian tried his best to remain calm.
It was Xiao Peng's first time in Boss Pei's office. He was a little nervous. He whispered, "Boss Pei, ROF Computer-Installation has accumulated a lot of funds. I'm thinking that it's time to upgrade the business. That's why I'm here to ask you what ROF Computer-Installation should do next …"
Pei Qian: "…"
See, see, what did I say!
I knew that the person-in-charge of these money-making departments was up to no good. They're asking me to burn my brain cells to spend money for them again!
Pei Qian sighed softly. "It's time for you guys to have some subjective initiative. Can't you think of a way to spend the money you earn? Don't always ask for instructions for such trivial matters. Work hard. Isn't it just spending money? What's so difficult about that? Spend more money. It's alright. I won't blame you. "
Xiao Peng quickly nodded. "Ah, alright, Boss Pei. I'll … follow my plan, then?"
Pei Qian remained silent for a moment. "Forget it. Since you're already here, tell me about your plan."
At first, he thought that he should let Xiao Peng spend all the money on his own and not ask him about it.
I can't expect all my employees to be business geniuses who only earn money and never lose money, right?
However, on further thought, he realized that such a possibility was not entirely impossible based on past situations.
I'll just ask them. As long as they don't go overboard, I'll let them do whatever they want.
Xiao Peng said, "Boss Pei, I think that ROF Computer-Installation is already a very popular brand for self-assembled computer systems. However, our appearance is not good enough to highlight the added value of our brand.
"I think we can spend a sum of money to find some mainframe chassis manufacturers to specially produce a batch of cool-looking mainframe chassis for us. We can also customize some good-looking fans or water coolers to enhance our looks."
Pei Qian pondered for a moment and then nodded. "Alright."
Spending this sum of money would definitely enhance ROF's brand. There must be some effect.
Compared to advertising, spending money on promotions, and other methods that would cause endless trouble, enhancing the appearance seemed to be the least bad choice.
What's more, Pei Qian did not and did not dare to think of a plan that would make less money. He was afraid that if he gave some pointers, ROF Computer-Installation would make a huge profit again.
Xiao Peng was very happy to receive Boss Pei's affirmation. "Boss Pei, there's one more thing. Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's business is booming, and we have plenty of funds on our books. Can we … open more branches? "
Pei Qian, "…"
Why are you taking so long to speak?
Can't you just say everything at once?!
You're telling me two pieces of bad news separately. Are you trying to let me take a breather?
Pei Qian really wanted to say no, but he really could not find a suitable reason to reject Xiao Peng's request.
The Fish-Catching Internet Cafes in Jingzhou City and Lincheng City were all popular and always full. Why not open more branches? It didn't make sense.
If he dragged it on, the employees of Fish-Catching Internet Cafe would definitely become suspicious.
However, the problem was that this was already a successful model that had been proven twice. Opening more branches would still make money.
Wasn't he creating a burden for himself?
Pei Qian did not believe it the last time. He thought that Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's popularity in Jingzhou was an accident. He decided to open a branch in a poor place like Lincheng and try again. In the end, he accidentally created a 'sinking market'.
Should he go to Beijing and Shanghai to try again?
Absolutely not!
Fish-Catching Internet Cafe was positioned as a high-end internet cafe. Moreover, the consumption level in first-tier cities was higher. Wouldn't he be sending himself to death if he opened a branch there?
Since none of these would work, there was only one way left.
Pei Qian thought for a moment and said helplessly, "Open it. You can choose the location, but you can only open it in Jingzhou or somewhere with a lower level of economic development.
"What's more, I want to create a Fish-Catching Internet Cafe 3.0 model. There will be fewer seats, more space, more expensive, and better locations. "
Pei Qian pondered for a while. Affordable internet cafes would definitely not work. The System would limit the price. Wouldn't an affordable internet cafe with Fish-Catching's brand take off on the spot?
He could only fight to the death with the high-end market.
In any case, he would keep thinking of ways to raise the price. One day, the consumption level of customers would not be able to keep up, right? There could not be so many ballers in the world.
"Alright." Xiao Peng did not ask much. Since Boss Pei had already instructed him, he had to figure it out, execute it seriously, and not ask too much.
This was the self-cultivation that every Tengda employee had to have.
Pei Qian thought for a moment and said, "What if this shop makes money again …
"Then think of a way to spend all the money you earn. Open branches, renovate, buy computers. In short, spend all of it. Not a single cent is left! "
Pei Qian felt that he had to be prepared for both scenarios.
What if Fish-Catching Internet Cafe made money again?
He would give up strategically.
He would let Xiao Peng open more branches if he had the money. No matter how many branches he opened, how many computers he bought, or how many employees he hired, as long as he had no money in his accounts and did not bother him with this matter again.
Boss Pei's current definition of a good employee had begun to slip.
In the past, Boss Pei thought that only employees who could incur losses were good employees.
However, he now realized that this standard seemed too high. No one could reach it.
He could only lower the standard then.
Now, Boss Pei's definition of a good employee had become: as long as they could spend all the money they earned without affecting settlement, they would be good employees!
As for what to do after spending the money …
Do whatever they wanted.
Xiao Peng nodded vigorously. "Alright, Boss Pei! I will complete the task perfectly! "
