Pei Qian could not help but feel pleased seeing Chen Kangtuo's blank expression.
Who told you to misinterpret me again!
Go to the haunted house and reflect on yourself!
As a designer, Chen Kangtuo knew more about the haunted house than the tourists, but that did not mean that he was not afraid.
It was like the designer of Outlast 2 personally trying it out and then being so scared that he dropped the controller on the spot.
Of course, there were also individual designers who knew the game mechanism like the back of their hands, treating the horror scene as their own backyard and playing the horror game as a parkour game. However, those were very few who were talented.
For ordinary people, they would still be scared to the point of peeing their pants.
Not to mention anything else, would you not be afraid to enter the haunted house if you were given a blueprint of the haunted house and marked out every scary place?
At most, the degree of fear would be reduced after being mentally prepared, but it was impossible to say that one would not be afraid.
Visual effects, auditory effects, all kinds of psychological hints … Even if one was mentally prepared, it would still be difficult to hold the psychological line of defense when really immersed.
Of course, it would be a different story if one was talented and had no sense of fear.
However, Chen Kangtuo was obviously not such a person. His current expression was proof.
Chen Kangtuo's expression changed from astonishment to bewilderment, from bewilderment to shock, and then from shock to collapse after hearing Boss Pei say these words in a very calm tone.
Boss Pei, someone is going to die!
Chen Kangtuo designed the haunted house himself, set the style himself, and visited the semi-finished product during construction. Of course, he knew how scary it was inside.
In fact, he had never entered the Thriller Hostel after the third project was completed, even if there were no staff acting as ghosts for the time being.
Just walking in this environment was enough to scare people to the point of peeing their pants!
However, what did Boss Pei say now? He wanted to fully understand every detail?
This was not something that could be done by braving himself and walking through it once!
However, Pei Qian did not give Chen Kangtuo a chance to protest. He waved his hand and said, "Alright, continue the tour."
Chen Kangtuo had no choice but to lead everyone to continue to visit other projects.
When they encountered the investors' businesses, such as restaurants and hotels, the corresponding investors would explain.
Apart from that, there were also reports on other aspects, including the recruitment of staff needed to maintain the operations of the entire Thriller Hostel.
The Haunted House was not big, but it was not small either. It needed waiters, ticket sellers, cleaners, equipment maintenance, make-up artists, props artists, and workers to act as ghosts.
This was especially true for the staff who would act as ghosts. They had been recruited a long time ago and had been undergoing training.
This was because acting as a ghost was not only a physical task, but also a technical one.
It was too far away from the tourists, and it was pitch black. The tourists were not scared at all, so it was ineffective.
If they were too close to the tourists, they might stimulate the tourists to do something stressful. If they were not careful, they might even get kicked and get hurt.
If he appeared too suddenly and scared the tourists, that wouldn't do either.
In short, this group of people had to know how to play mind games. They had to target different tourists and choose different scaring strategies to achieve the best effect.
At the same time, these people had to know the various emergency exits of the Haunted House. If necessary, they had to guide the visitors away and even have some knowledge of first aid.
All in all, the goal of the training was to let the staff protect themselves while gradually and moderately scaring the tourists so that the entire Haunted House could operate normally.
Chen Kangtuo suggested. "Then, do you want to go to the three projects of the Haunted House to take a look? Give me some suggestions? "
Pei Qian laughed. "There's no need."
Trying to trick me into going to the Haunted House? Dream on!
Pei Qian was very relaxed now. The only thing he was worried about was making money from the Golden Maze. As for the Thriller Hostel itself … it was far from being the project that he needed to worry about the most.
The first project's fees were very low, and the venue's carrying capacity was limited. Even if it was full every day, it would not make much money.
Not many people would play the second and third projects if they were not scary. If they were scary, he could use them to deal with his enemies in his little notebook.
He would not lose out no matter what!
Pei Qian's attitude was also very clear. In any case, no matter what you say, I will definitely not go to the haunted house to experience it. I am a noble person who has broken away from vulgar interests. I am busy with work and have no time to experience such simple and crude entertainment.
Chen Kangtuo looked at the other investors. "Then, everyone …"
Boss Li quickly said, "There's no need!
"Little Brother Chen, don't misunderstand. It's not that we don't trust you. On the contrary, we trust you too much. That's why we don't dare to go in. After all, we're old and not suitable to participate in such exciting projects. "
Chen Kangtuo: "…"
Alright, everyone is not willing to go in. Does that mean that I'm the only one who has to 'experience it properly'?
Everyone went one round, and no one was willing to experience the Thriller Hostel project. Thus, they could only give up.
The investors were very happy. After all, the problem of the Golden Maze had been solved, and the project's chances of making money had greatly increased.
Chen Kangtuo sent everyone back to the door. Everyone was talking and laughing, but he fell into melancholy.
The investors got into the car one after another. Pei Qian also got in and prepared to leave.
Chen Kangtuo suddenly thought of something.
"That's right, Boss Pei! Zhang Wang came to me before and said that he hoped that the Golden Maze could sell some Fully-Automated Bickering Machines. After all, the shared phone booths had done publicity for the Thriller Hostel. This request seemed reasonable … "
Pei Qian was just about to close the car door when his expression changed.
"Absolutely not!"
The Fully-Automated Bickering Machine might be a mystery and had no practical use, but it was exquisitely made and had golden edges. What if it was placed in the Golden Maze? What if there was a huge flow of people and someone really bought it?
Pei Qian hid the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine like a treasure. He must not let anyone find it.
Chen Kangtuo was stunned. He did not expect Boss Pei to reject him.
When Zhang Wang came to look for him previously, Chen Kangtuo did not take it to heart. Wasn't it just a small handicraft? It might be big and not easy to carry around, but there were so many shops in the Golden Maze. How big of a deal could it be to just set up a few machines and sell them casually?
What's more, Zhang Wang had arranged for the shared phone booths to do publicity for the Thriller Hostel. Even if it was to return the favor, it would be reasonable, right?
Yet, Boss Pei reacted so strongly and rejected him outright?
"But Boss Pei …"
Chen Kangtuo wanted to explain further, but Boss Pei had already raised his hand to interrupt him.
"Absolutely not.
"I'll talk to Zhang Wang about this. In short, I have other arrangements. The Golden Maze must not sell the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine, absolutely not! "
Seeing that Boss Pei was so determined, Chen Kangtuo had nothing else to say and could only nod.
Pei Qian closed the car door and heaved a long sigh.
Fortunately!
Fortunately, Chen Kangtuo did not act first and report later and told Pei Qian in advance. Otherwise, something big might have really happened.
It looked like Zhang Wang did not take what Pei Qian said seriously. He was still secretly thinking of ways to sell the machines.
No, I have to emphasize to Zhang Wang again that he should focus on production first and not think about all these messy things.
The Fully-Automated Bickering Machine must be protected!
On the other side, Boss Li also closed the car door and prepared to leave.
He did not hear the conversation between Chen Kangtuo and Boss Pei clearly. He only vaguely heard the words' sell XX machines'. They seemed to be talking about some kind of machine or invention.
However, since Boss Pei did not say anything, Boss Li did not want to get to the bottom of it.
He just silently noted it down, thinking that it might be useful in the future.
…
…
July 4th, Monday …
Pei Qian came to the office as usual.
Most departments had formed a tacit understanding that they would come on Monday if they needed Boss Pei's approval because Boss Pei was basically in the office on Mondays.
As for the rest of the time, they could call him if anything happened.
The Manage Loss Trainee meeting was held as usual last Saturday.
Apart from the information that Pei Qian already had, two other pieces of information caught his attention.
First, Fish-Catching Take-Out's new high-end brand, Food Harmony, was currently in full preparation.
Fish-Catching Take-Out's Manage Loss Trainee also gave a detailed report. The idea of this high-end brand was to produce a castrated version of the nameless restaurant and then use beautiful food boxes as packaging to provide customers with a more high-end take-out dining experience.
Pei Qian felt that this should be good news after listening to the report.
Fish-Catching Take-Out had been incurring losses because of its high-end positioning.
Wouldn't it be even more incurring losses now that it had a more high-end positioning?
This new brand required training of chefs, custom-made food boxes, specialized delivery, and so on. It would be difficult to save on these costs no matter how much they sold.
They could still make profits if they sold more, but they would suffer more losses than Fish-Catching Take-Out if they sold less.
There seemed to be no reason to stop them from incurring losses, right?
Secondly, Tengda Games' Manage Loss Trainee reported about Zhang Zuting's acting guidance.
The harm of this matter was obvious, but what was done was done. Pei Qian could not do anything about it.
He could not possibly use the Great Amnesia Spell to make these actors forget everything Zhang Zuting said, right?
He had no choice but to silently record Zhang Zuting's name in his little notebook and wait for the Thriller Hostel to open for business.
Pei Qian sat in the office for five minutes. Indeed, someone knocked on the door.
He looked up and saw that it was Xiao Peng.
"Boss Pei, Fish-Catching Internet Cafe 3.0's Live Esports Museum model should be considered a success so far, right? Then … can I do as you said before and continue to open branches? "
Xiao Peng's face was full of anticipation.
When he planned to open Fish-Catching Internet Cafe 3.0, Boss Pei had already said that if this shop could make money again, he would open branches, renovate, buy computers, and spend all the money without leaving a single cent.
Although Boss Pei seemed to be in a bad mood when he said this, Xiao Peng understood that this sentence still showed Boss Pei's trust in him.
However, even so, he still felt that he should ask and confirm again.
After all, this was a lot of power. Xiao Peng was afraid that he would misunderstand and had to confirm again.
What if Boss Pei was just saying it casually and was not serious?
What if he spent lavishly and Boss Pei got angry? How could he reason with that? He could not be serious with the boss, right?
It was better to make things clear in advance so that he could show off his skills.
Pei Qian was speechless.
Don't report the good news a second time!
Pei Qian waved his hand helplessly. "When have I ever gone back on my word? Open as many branches as you can, and remember to spend all the money. Don't report such a small matter over and over again. "
In any case, Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's initial investment was huge. It might be profitable, but the return cycle was very long. As long as I opened enough branches and fast enough, the profits would not be able to catch up with me.
