May 20th, Friday …
Deposit Fitness …
There were not many people in the gym in the morning. It looked a little empty. Only four female students were training on the entire row of treadmills. The rest were empty.
The situation in the equipment area was not much better. There were only six people, and three of them were fitness trainers.
Guo Licheng had just finished training. He wiped the fine beads of sweat off his head with a towel and sat down in the resting area.
He had been quite busy as a branch manager recently.
The other branches were in full swing. Of course, Guo Licheng could not handle it himself. Thus, he found a few fitness trainers from the flagship store of Deposit Fitness to be branch managers there.
They bought the same type of equipment, and Fish-Catching Take-Out had already informed Rui Yuchen about ordering food from nearby stores. All of this was easy to handle, but it was a little troublesome to recruit staff.
Guo Licheng had set recruitment rules for all these branches. He strictly followed Boss Pei's instructions. When hiring trainers, they had to look at their muscles and physique. They would not hire trainers who could not train well, no matter how eloquent they were.
That way, a large number of trainers were rejected because their physiques did not meet the requirements. Fortunately, Boss Pei was very generous in terms of remuneration. Thus, even if he strictly implemented this standard, many qualified trainers still jumped ship. Everything went smoothly in the branches.
The branches of Deposit Fitness should open one after another in the next two days.
The Deposit Fitness at Ming Yun Villas seemed to be the first to open. Guo Licheng had not had time to go over to take a look because he had been too busy. He did not know if the operation would be optimistic after the opening.
According to Guo Licheng's deduction, it should not be too optimistic.
One could tell just by looking at the behavior of the flagship store.
Apart from being busy with these branches, Guo Licheng had to train hard every day according to Boss Pei's instructions. He was afraid that Boss Pei would notice that he was out of shape and criticize him if he slacked off for two days.
However, Guo Licheng would not have time to recruit new people and do publicity for the gym if that happened.
It was fine when Coach Yaling was around. There would be new customers signing up for Coach Yaling every day. Now that Coach Yaling had been transferred away by Boss Pei, the gym was even more deserted.
"Branch Manager, the fitness meals are here!" The girl at the front desk called out.
Guo Licheng looked up. Two Fish-Catching Take-Out deliverymen had put down the incubators on their backs and taken out the Fish-Catching Take-Outs. They placed them neatly on the long table and then hurriedly left.
It was almost noon, and the delivery staff still had other deliveries to make. The people from Deposit Fitness were all on the same side, so there was no need to be so polite. They left after delivering the food.
Guo Licheng called out, "Let's eat!"
"Oh …" A few feeble responses came from the gym.
Guo Licheng felt a little helpless. He knew why everyone was in low spirits.
Because he had no interest in fitness meals.
Fish-Catching Take-Out's fitness meals were similar to those sold on the market. They mainly consisted of salads. Although there were meat and vegetables and balanced nutrition, the taste was indeed bland. It was okay to eat it once in a while, but one would not be able to take it if they ate too much. Even the smell of instant noodles made one's mouth water.
The few students who trained in the gym were very few loyal customers. They were the kind with strong willpower, which was why they were not persuaded to leave. They had been eating healthy meals for a long time.
To them, eating healthy meals had become a clock-in mission. Every day, no matter what the fitness meals were, they would just take a few bites and cheat their stomachs just to complete their mission.
Of course, they were not interested in eating such things.
There were not many people in the gym, so there was no need to eat in batches. Everyone sat down and opened the lunch boxes in front of them.
However, Guo Licheng was stunned the moment he opened the lunch box.
"Did I get it wrong?"
Half of the lunch box was stewed with mushroom and chicken breast, and the other half was steamed with tomato, egg, and tofu.
The stewed with mushroom and chicken breast was made with brown rice. It was decorated with chicken breast, diced carrots, corn kernels, shiitake mushrooms, and green peppers. It was stir-fried with a small amount of oil for a short period of time and steamed with the brown rice. The taste of all the ingredients also permeated the brown rice.
As for the steamed with tomato, egg, and tofu, it was first stir-fried with a small amount of oil and then poured in egg mixture. Once the eggs were fully cooked, the tofu was evenly coated. Then, a pinch of chopped green onion was sprinkled on top.
These two dishes were the latest results of Fish-Catching Take-Out's Gourmet Laboratory. The former had 320 calories per person, and the latter had 398 calories per person. Taking half of each and putting them together could make the intake more balanced.
Rui Yuchen felt that these two dishes had satisfied his need for 'fitness meals that he could eat for a long time'. Thus, he arranged for the food to be delivered to the flagship store of Deposit Fitness today. He invited everyone to taste it and give them their opinions.
However, he did not emphasize this to the delivery man. The delivery man was very busy and thus forgot to inform him.
Guo Licheng heard the sound of someone swallowing their saliva.
After eating salad for such a long time, everyone was salivating at the smell of instant noodles. Smelling the smell of kebabs was no less than torture.
Who could resist seeing such hot, fragrant, and normal food in front of them?
However, no one dared to touch their chopsticks. Everyone looked at Guo Licheng eagerly.
Guo Licheng also swallowed his saliva.
He coughed lightly. "It looks like it was sent to the wrong place. There's no other way. We can't waste food. Eat, everyone. We'll train after eating. "
"Alright!"
Everyone immediately beamed with joy. They hugged their food boxes and began to stuff themselves.
Guo Licheng knocked on the table. "Eat slowly! Chewing slowly helps digestion. Eating slowly will prevent you from gaining weight. "
Only then did everyone slow down.
Two girls held their spoons. One was steaming rice, and the other was tofu. Their eyes were even filled with tears.
They were so touched!
Finally, they could not eat grass anymore. They could eat food that humans could eat!
Guo Licheng was also enjoying his meal.
He had to admit that this kind of warm and tasty food was much better than a salad.
Guo Licheng was a little confused as he ate. Although he felt that it was sent to the wrong place, the ingredients were very healthy.
It looked like only a small amount of oil had been used. What's more, brown rice, carrots, green peppers, corn kernels, chicken breasts, eggs, tofu, and other ingredients were all relatively healthy.
However, on further thought, Fish-Catching Take-Out was a brand that advocated health. The other daily food also seemed to have less oil and salt. It was not as heavy as other takeaways.
Thus, Guo Licheng did not say much. He thought to himself that he would ask Rui Yuchen when he had the chance.
…
…
May 21st, Saturday …
The Manage Loss Trainee meeting was held on time.
The Manage Loss Trainees from various departments reported one by one. Pei Qian would ask a few questions when he encountered something he was interested in. He would pass if he found nothing unusual.
"… Deposit Fitness' branches have opened one after another. However, they are also very deserted and unvisited.
"Friday, which is yesterday, Fish-Catching Take-Out delivered a fitness meal that seemed to have gone wrong. However, Coach Guo brought everyone to train together. It did not affect anything," the Manage Loss Trainee from Deposit Fitness reported normally.
Wrong delivery?
Pei Qian vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Would Fish-Catching Take-Out make such a low-level mistake? It shouldn't be, right?
Rui Yuchen and his subordinates were not good-for-nothings. If they would have made such a low-level mistake, I would have known long ago. Would they have waited until today?
Pei Qian looked at the Manage Loss Trainee from Fish-Catching Take-Out.
Indeed, the Manage Loss Trainee, who was also a waiter from the Gourmet Laboratory, raised his hand and said, "It was not a mistake. It was a newly developed fitness meal from the Gourmet Laboratory."
Pei Qian: "?"
Element detection!
"Tell me in detail." Pei Qian looked like he was facing a formidable enemy.
The Manage Loss Trainee from Fish-Catching Take-Out explained, "Boss Rui felt that the fitness meal before was too unpalatable and not in line with the eating habits of the Chinese people. Therefore, after some research, he decided to make a trade-off between taste and health.
"This version of the fitness meal might have more calories than before, but it is healthier. Uh … of course, the cost has also increased. "
Pei Qian's expression turned gloomy at first, but he relaxed a lot when he heard 'more calories, and the cost has increased'.
The increase in calories could slow down the fitness effect.
The increase in price could dissuade more cash-strapped customers.
That did not seem to be a bad thing?
"How much did the price increase?"
The Manage Loss Trainee from Fish-Catching Take-Out said, "The cost of each fitness meal has increased by about three yuan. It would be about seven yuan a day."
Pei Qian counted with his fingers. If it increased by seven yuan a day, he would have to spend nearly a thousand yuan a year if he trained for three days a week!
Hmm … the price of Deposit Fitness had increased even more.
Deposit Fitness had already filtered out a group of customers through its price. Wouldn't it filter out more customers now that it had increased its price?
That seemed not bad.
Pei Qian asked, "How is Rui Yuchen going to deal with this pricing problem?"
The Manage Loss Trainee from Fish-Catching Take-Out said, "Boss Rui intends to let the students choose whether to eat salad or the new fitness meal. Both will be priced separately."
Pei Qian immediately shook his head. "How can that do?!"
If the students wanted to save money, they would eat salad. If they were tired of eating salad, they would spend a few more yuan to improve their lives. Wouldn't that not have the effect of dissuading customers? It would only have the opposite effect?
The current shared gym had proven that the price increase strategy was useful and could indeed dissuade customers. Of course, they should continue to increase the price.
"Our gym is called Deposit Fitness, and the focus is on escrow! How can we call it escrow if we let customers choose what to eat?
"Let the Gourmet Laboratory continue to spend a lot of money on fitness meals. No matter how much it costs, bundle it all with the gym's money!"
The Manage Loss Trainees from Fish-Catching Take-Out and Deposit Fitness looked at each other and said, "Alright, Boss Pei."
"Wait." Pei Qian realized a problem and raised his hand. "Don't tell the two of you. I'll inform the heads of the two departments myself."
The Manage Loss Trainees could not be exposed.
They should be transparent people in the department and not arouse the suspicion of the department heads.
"Alright, next." Pei Qian gestured for the meeting to continue.
The Manage Loss Trainee from Thriller Hostel reported. "Boss Pei, Boss Li and the investors have just signed a contract with Boss Chen for the Thriller Hostel project. The investors intend to jointly invest in building a large shopping mall for us in the Thriller Hostel project. Half of the profits will go to us. "
Pei Qian was silent for a moment. A question mark slowly floated above his head.
