Chen Kangtuo was still a little hesitant.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this was not just a 'little' thought.
If the Thriller Hostel project could become popular, the profits from selling peripheral goods would definitely be very considerable.
At the moment, most amusement parks in China were still in the initial stages of developing derivatives and other profit channels. Ticket income accounted for an absolute majority of profits.
However, if one were to look at the proportion of revenue from internationally famous amusement parks, the proportion of tickets, shopping, and other income was basically one-third under a mature model.
Among them, food and beverage, accommodation, investment in tourist areas, commercial sponsorship for scenic festivals, real estate development for scenic tourism purposes, and so on could all be regarded as other income.
Boss Li and the other investors had decided to give half of the income from selling the peripheral goods of the entire Thriller Hostel project to Tengda. It was actually a very generous concession.
Seeing Chen Kangtuo's hesitation, Li Shi smiled slightly. "Little Brother Chen, you don't have to be too polite.
"Thriller Hostel was originally Boss Pei's project. With Tengda's financial resources, Boss Pei could have completely swallowed up all the interests around the entire Thriller Hostel. However, Boss Pei did not do so. Instead, he gave us a rather large part of the profits. That in itself is very generous.
"Now that everyone's interests are tied together, we are bound together for good or bad. We can't have sectarian bias. I'm investing in the construction of this market with others as a kind of repayment to Boss Pei's generosity.
"If Little Brother Chen feels bad, as long as you make the Thriller Hostel better and more popular, it would be considered a repayment to us."
Chen Kangtuo thought about it for a long time. Seeing Boss Li's determination and kindness, he nodded silently. "Alright, I'll thank everyone on Boss Pei's behalf."
Boss Li smiled slightly. "I've already prepared the contract. Little Brother Chen, take a look. If there are no problems, come up with a plan as soon as possible and start construction. Time waits for no one."
…
Boss Li could not help but feel refreshed after coming out of Chen Kangtuo's office.
He felt much more at ease!
Recently, Li Shi had been staring at his restaurant renovation work near the Thriller Hostel. The project was progressing smoothly, but he always felt uneasy.
This feeling of uneasiness had been lingering in his heart for a long time.
After carefully recalling the experience of working with Boss Pei, Boss Li suddenly realized where this feeling of uneasiness came from.
The interests of the investors and Boss Pei were not strong enough!
In other words, there was still the risk of an accident.
When he invested in the Shared Top Student previously, Boss Pei first shook everyone's confidence and dissuaded a group of investors. Then, he used a small trick to exclude all shareholders and monopolize the biggest profits.
After Li Shi reviewed the situation, he realized that the reason why this had happened was that everyone had not followed closely enough.
When it came to business, Boss Pei would always put Tengda's interests first.
From Boss Li's point of view, Boss Pei's attitude towards investors had always been: if you want to come and drink some soup, then come. However, don't expect to eat the meat. The meat in the pot belonged to Tengda.
If they were to leave the dining table in order, Tengda would definitely be the last to eat.
Therefore, Boss Li thought that he had to firmly tie Boss Pei to the chariot of common interests so that he would not be thrown off midway for no reason!
This concession was the result of his careful consideration. On the surface, he was generous, but in reality, he was a little scheming.
The restaurants, hotels, and so on opened by Boss Li and the others were supporting facilities around Thriller Hostel. The income would be less than the tickets, but it was equally stable.
With Boss Pei's foresight, he definitely hoped to build Thriller Hostel into a domestic or even a world-class amusement park. In the end, the profit structure of this place would definitely converge with that of a world-class amusement park. In other words, tickets, shopping, and other income each accounted for one-third.
Among them, the tickets would all belong to Tengda, and the other income would be divided between Tengda and the investors. The remaining cake of shopping was not clearly divided.
There were only two situations after Thriller Hostel officially opened for business:
One was the situation of domestic amusement parks. The tickets would make money, but the peripherals would not.
The other was that the tickets and peripherals were very profitable.
If it was the former, selling peripherals would not make money anyway. So what if he gave Tengda 50%?
If it was the latter, everyone would make money together. Tengda would be able to obtain real profits from the peripherals and naturally be motivated to do better.
Therefore, Boss Li discussed with the investors. Through this concession, Boss Pei would be firmly tied to the chariot of interests. Everyone would advance and retreat together. With these profits, Boss Pei would definitely pay more attention to the peripherals. It would naturally be better for the development of the entire Thriller Hostel.
So far, all the investors had a lot of trust in Boss Pei, but it was still unknown whether the Thriller Hostel project would succeed or not.
Therefore, they could only continue to raise the stakes and bet that Boss Pei's business genius attribute would create another miracle.
Li Shi left Chen Kangtuo's office, prepared to take a look at the renovation of the restaurant, and then drove back to his office.
However, at that moment, his phone rang. It was an unknown number.
"Hello, Boss Li. I'm Wu Bin from Tengda's HR department.
I've been collecting some material about Boss Pei recently. I wonder if you have time to briefly talk about it? "
Li Shi was stunned for a moment. This call surprised him.
However, since it was Boss Pei's man, he could still give him face.
Moreover, he was also very curious about what kind of material the other party was collecting.
"Alright, let's meet at the Fish-Catching Internet Cafe near Handong University."
…
In the Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, Li Shi, Wu Bin, and Cui Geng each ordered a cup of coffee.
Wu Bin had already explained his intentions to Li Shi. This part of the Tengda spirit had aroused Li Shi's strong interest.
Everyone knew that Boss Pei was good at managing his subordinates.
All the employees of Tengda Corporation could stand up and take charge. What's more, they completely followed Boss Pei's orders and listened to him.
Whether it was in the Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, Dream Realization Ventures, or Thriller Hostel, Li Shi could feel that these people had a special admiration for Boss Pei when he interacted with Boss Pei's subordinates.
So, what was this Tengda spirit? How did it play a role?
If they could learn this spirit, would the employees of Fu Hui Investments become like Tengda's employees?
Mastering such a spiritual weapon was too useful for an entrepreneur.
Li Shi sipped his coffee. "No problem. Ask whatever you want to ask. However, I have a request. Once the Tengda spirit handbook is completed, you can give me a copy."
Wu Bin hesitated for a moment.
That was because the Tengda spirit was also a secret within Tengda. It could only be circulated privately among the employees and could not be spread to the internal forum or the internet.
Obviously, this annotation of the Tengda spirit was not something that could be given by any employee.
Li Shi saw through Wu Bin's thoughts and smiled slightly. "Don't worry, I will definitely not spread it.
"Of course, the fewer people know about such a good thing, the better.
"What's more, Fu Hui Investments has no conflict of interest with Tengda Corporation. They have always been close partners."
Wu Bin thought about it and felt that it made sense.
The Tengda spirit was a spiritual summary. It was not a trade secret. The reason why it was kept secret was mainly to ensure that no Tom, Dick, or Harry could pass the Tengda spirit compatibility test. At the same time, it was to ensure that the employees could persevere in figuring out and studying the Tengda spirit and not be lazy.
Just as Boss Li said, he had no reason to spread it everywhere.
Since Boss Li had made a huge contribution to the completed annotation of the Tengda spirit and it did not affect the confidentiality of the Tengda spirit, it seemed harmless to give Boss Li a copy.
At that thought, Wu Bin nodded. "Alright, Boss Li, let's complete this annotation of the Tengda spirit together."
"I want to ask, what's your impression of Boss Pei?"
"Obviously, Boss Pei has two different images internally and externally."
"As employees, we can only see one side of Boss Pei."
"As a partner, you can see the other side of Boss Pei. This is very key to the annotation of the Tengda spirit."
Li Shi took a sip of coffee and thought for a moment. "From my perspective, the first impression that Boss Pei gives people is that he is a very calm, even cold person."
"This calmness allows Boss Pei to think in an absolutely objective and rational way no matter what situation he is in. It drives him to make the most correct decision."
"Coupled with his business wisdom that far exceeds ordinary people, it shows four words: strategizing."
"When dealing with business matters, he always puts Tengda's interests first. If any company affects Tengda's interests, Boss Pei will take decisive measures to make them lose badly."
"In the process of cooperation, Boss Pei is also prepared to kick others out of the car at any time for the sake of Tengda's interests. Of course, Boss Pei never uses any conspiracy. It is all open and aboveboard business methods. That is also the most admirable thing about him. "
"On the other hand, Boss Pei is a very tolerant and kind person."
"He has his own very unique understanding of cooperation."
"He only works with partners who absolutely trust him. Before cooperation, he will think of ways to arrange various tests to dissuade partners who are not determined."
"Boss Pei has always been very generous to partners who persist to the end and even take the initiative to give up profits."
"These two seemingly contradictory characteristics are perfectly merged in Boss Pei. I see the cunning of an old fox and the idealism of a young man at the same time. It is very magical."
"Perhaps a business genius like Boss Pei was born to be successful in business."
Wu Bin recorded everything that Li Shi said and sighed. "Thank you very much, Boss Li. This angle is very inspiring to me!"
Cui Gen, who was sitting at the side, was already thinking about how to find a suitable angle to cut into the content.
Wu Bin continued to ask. "Boss Li, can you tell me about your experience working with Boss Pei and the specific performance of Boss Pei's character?"
Li Shi held his coffee cup and fell into memory. "I have to start from Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's flagship store."
"At that time, I accidentally found a deserted internet cafe. It might be deserted, but I saw endless potential. Thus, I wanted to invest in it … "
Wu Bin listened carefully. A fuller character image, a more three-dimensional Boss Pei, appeared in his mind.
