Li Shi thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "I have a solution here. Furthermore, it won't cost you too much money."
Everyone's eyes lit up.
Is there a way?
And it doesn't cost too much?
"Director Li, hurry up and say it!" An investor urged.
Li Shi smiled slightly, took out his cell phone, opened the Tengda Life App, and switched to the Sloth Apartments project. He pushed his cell phone to the center of the conference table.
"Boss Pei has just launched a new rental project. All of you should know about it, right?
The investors looked at each other. "I know, but what does this have to do with Thriller Hostel?"
Li Shi smiled faintly. "If I let you do publicity, can you think of any good publicity plan? Previously, we burned money to promote it, but the effect was average. Once Boss Pei used the shared phone booths, the problem was solved immediately. "
"That includes Boss Pei's recent promotion of GOG's overseas server. He directly booked an entire street in Times Square! Which one of you dares to do this? "
"In terms of publicity, I'm not targeting anyone. Compared to Boss Pei, everyone is like a younger brother.
"Therefore, whether Thriller Hostel becomes popular or not has nothing to do with us. The key is when Boss Pei wants it to become popular and when he will take out his trump cards!
"So, what we need to do is not to advertise ourselves. That's too inefficient."
"What we have to do is to make Boss Pei as happy as possible. Once Boss Pei is happy, he'll take out his backup plan in advance or give us some information. Wouldn't that be better?"
"As far as I know, the Sloth Apartments are basically deserted. Not many people rent them."
"Let's each rent one to boost our prestige and express our support for Boss Pei with practical actions. Once Boss Pei is happy, he can publicize Thriller Hostel. Wouldn't that solve the problem?"
"What's more, even if such a small matter can't move Boss Pei, we have at least expressed enough sincerity.
The investors thought about it and felt that it made sense.
Boss Pei might not care, but we have to express our stance!
The rent for these houses was quite high for ordinary people, but for these investors, a few thousand yuan a month was nothing.
Boss Li had several villas in Ming Yun Villas. Why would he care about the rent of a few thousand a month?
Spending a little money to make his presence felt in front of Boss Pei was such a good deal!
Money was not important. What was important was to express an attitude.
An investor said, "Then, Mr. Li, where exactly should we rent? I heard that some of the houses here are commercial housing, and some are located far away. They are not suitable for us. "
Li Shi smiled. "Clearly, we're going to rent this building in Dawn of Prosperous City."
"It's a large flat with very luxurious decorations. Even if you really live there, you won't feel stifled."
"Of course, the most important thing is its geographical location."
An investor asked in confusion, "Geographical location? Isn't this near Handong University? Strictly speaking, it's not the city center. "
Li Shi was speechless. "What do you know? Who wants to live in the city center? This place has Shenhua View, the headquarters of Tengda Corporation. There's also Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's Handong University branch. Boss Pei often drinks coffee here! "
"Think about it. Wouldn't it be much more convenient to live here and bump into Boss Pei at Fish-Catching Internet Cafe?
"Drink coffee with Boss Pei once in a while. His casual words might contain valuable information!"
The investors were suddenly enlightened.
"I see!"
"Manager Li, if you put it that way, then it's really necessary to rent one, and it has to be a long-term rental! For a few years! "
"Can we really bump into Boss Pei here?" Some people were still doubtful.
Li Shi sniggered. "Of course. I don't know where Boss Pei lives, but it's certain that he often appears in Fish-Catching Internet Cafe. The chances of bumping into Boss Pei will greatly increase if we live here. "
The investors were all moved.
They all had mansions to live in, but even compared to their own mansions, the standard of decoration of this large flat was not bad.
Of course, not having storage space was a problem, but they did not need it.
What's more, there was a butler and regular cleaning. Living here was more comfortable than in a hotel.
No matter how they looked at it, it seemed tailor-made for people like them! It was too suitable!
The only problem was that some people did not like minimalism, but only a minority would especially reject it. The others were more accepting of different styles.
At that thought, the investors stood up.
"Let's go to Dawn of Prosperous City and support Boss Pei!"
…
Dawn of Prosperous City, cylindrical residential building where Sloth Apartments were located …
Song Kai sent away another wave of customers and could not help but sigh silently.
Why was everyone only looking and not renting?
Most people changed their words and said 'I'll think about it' after hearing about the rental price and the various rules.
A minority of people only entered the room to take a look and said, 'What the hell? It looks like it was robbed. Can't you even bear to buy decent furniture?' before leaving.
Song Kai knew that the former type of people would say that they would think about it, but in fact, they would leave.
As for the latter type of people, Song Kai could only say that everyone had different tastes. What's more, some people's appreciation of art was indeed not good enough.
This was a house specially designed by a designer. It contained Boss Pei's philosophy. How could it be 'robbed'?
Do you understand art? Do you know how to appreciate it?
Song Kai was a little discouraged that he had not rented out a single house after introducing it to so many tourists today.
He had no choice. Introducing houses to others required thirty percent truth and seventy percent flattery. If he did not flatter others, how many people would be able to understand the advantages of this house?
According to Boss Pei's request, Song Kai could only take the initiative to introduce the house. He could only tell customers about the advantages of the house if they asked. That immediately dissuaded most people.
Song Kai also saw some comments online and was very dissatisfied.
That was because he had worked in Home Corporation before and knew how many tricks this company had.
Many of the points that attacked the Sloth Apartments online were baseless. Some people did not understand and only knew to compare prices. Some people knew but were deliberately biased.
Take the problem of 'good quality and low price' for example.
Many people felt that the Sloth Apartments was so much more expensive than Home Corporation's' Safe House ', but there was no substantial improvement in the living environment. Instead, the living experience was reduced because of various rules. It was pretentious but not practical. It was not good quality and low price.
However, Song Kai really wanted to say, 'Have you thought about those invisible places?'
They looked like white walls. One used environmentally friendly materials while the other emitted formaldehyde, which greatly increased the risk of cancer. How could they be the same?
Including the furniture, flooring, home appliances, cleaning services, and the like. They looked similar, but in fact, they were very different!
The concept of 'low price' was relative. Based on the actual living experience of the Sloth Apartments, it was definitely much better than Home Corporation's' Safe House '!
However, most people did not understand this. They only looked at the surface.
Moreover, there were definitely many staff members of Home Corporation who pretended to be innocent bystanders. They purposely made posts like 'Sloth Apartments are very expensive and only suitable for showing off and not living in' so that everyone would form a stereotype and advertise their 'Safe House' business.
Song Kai was very unhappy, but Boss Pei did not seem to want to argue with these people.
Song Kai knew that his words carried little weight. It would be useless even if he posted as a passerby. If he posted as a staff member of Sloth Apartments, it might have the opposite effect.
However, he had to continue his work no matter what.
There was no way to deal with these fake reviewers online. He could only continue to work hard and do his job.
Song Kai continued to wait for more people to come.
The first floor of all Sloth Apartments was used as the 'butler's room'. Usually, the butler of this building would work and entertain guests on the first floor. At the same time, it could be used as a model room to show customers.
At that moment, footsteps came from outside. It sounded like there was more than one person.
The door of the butler's room on the first floor was always open so that Song Kai could observe the situation outside. He immediately got up and went out after hearing the footsteps. He met Boss Li.
"Hello! Welcome, welcome! "
Song Kai's eyes quickly swept across this group of people, and he could not help but perk up.
These people were all dressed in suits and leather shoes. They were all about forty years old. From the way they dressed and the way they behaved, one look and one could tell that they were people who did not lack money!
The question was, why would people who did not lack money rent an apartment here?
Song Kai was very confused, but he would not ask too many questions. He only warmly welcomed everyone inside and served them tea.
However, there were too many people. Only two or three people could sit on the sofa. Even if they added the chairs for drinking tea together, everyone would not be able to sit.
That could not be helped. That was because such a large apartment was only designed for one or two people. The living room was minimalist, and they tried to save as much furniture as possible.
Li Shi looked at the sofa and then at the big television.
He was more and more certain that the standard of decoration here was really high!
Previously, he had only seen some pictures online. He had not seen it in person. He had been worried that there would be a 'seller show'. He was worried that the standard of decoration here was not good enough and that it would not be comfortable.
Now, it seemed like the price was not inferior to the decoration of his own house!
However, the other investors had different expressions.
Obviously, many people could not accept this style of four bare walls.
Some investors with a good eye could see that the sofa was very expensive. The television was very expensive. Most of the things in this apartment were very expensive.
However, the expensive method was very different from what they had expected!
Some investors preferred the luxurious style of the nouveau riche. They could not wait to decorate their homes like a European palace. Seeing this extremely minimalist style, they felt very uncomfortable.
Two investors whispered to each other at the side.
"This won't do. How can anyone live here? There's only one sofa in such a large living room? "
"This decoration is indeed not very suitable for my habits. I have to get a big tea table and a tea set. Otherwise, I can't live here. "
"It doesn't seem possible. We can't add our own furniture here."
"Then what should we do?"
"It's okay. I just looked. This building has a total of twelve floors. The first floor is the butler's room. That means there are a total of eleven units. We have a total of 13 people here this time. Let them rent first. The two of us will stay at the back."
Some people were already secretly retreating.
Song Kai smiled and walked in front of everyone. He was just about to introduce the rules of Sloth Apartments to everyone when Li Shi raised his hand, indicating that there was no need.
"Just bring the rental contract over. We'll rent this building. I'll stay on the top floor."
Song Kai was stunned.
What was going on?
I haven't even started introducing. I haven't even mentioned the rules of Sloth Apartments!
He remembered Boss Pei's instructions and reminded him. "Are you sure you don't want to listen to the relevant rules of Sloth Apartments? These rules must be followed before you can move in. "
Li Shi smiled slightly and shook his head. "There's no need to introduce. Bring the contract over. We're all Boss Pei's friends."
Song Kai suddenly understood. No wonder!
Boss Pei's friends were here to support them. That made things easier!
He quickly brought the pre-prepared rental contract over and distributed it one by one.
"There's something I need to explain to you in advance. The top floor, which is the twelfth floor, is already occupied. The first floor is the butler's room. It's not for rent. That's why there are a total of ten rooms. You have thirteen people here, so only ten can stay," Song Kai explained.
Li Shi was stunned.
The twelfth floor was already rented out?
I wanted to choose the highest floor to enjoy the wide view. Someone else beat me to it?
Who could be faster than me?
This made Li Shi's balls hurt, but he had no choice. He could only rent the eleventh floor.
The others also chose their floors. The three investors who hated the four bare walls style naturally hid at the back and pretended to be magnanimous and gave up.
Signing the contract, making the payment, and registering the information, Li Shi and the others did not ask anything. They just went through the procedures directly, so it was done very quickly.
Song Kai was very happy. "Boss Li and everyone, welcome to stay! If you encounter any problems during your stay, you can call me at any time! "
Li Shi and the investors received their room keys and took the elevator to their respective rooms.
When the elevator reached the eleventh floor, Li Shi was the only one left.
He was just about to step out of the elevator when he suddenly changed his mind and pressed the button for the twelfth floor.
He was very curious. Who was living on the twelfth floor?
Who else could be one step ahead of him and express goodwill to Boss Pei?
Who was more well-informed than him? Could it be Tengda's higher-ups or internal employees?
This person must have a closer relationship with Boss Pei. They would be neighbors in the future. He could befriend them in advance and build a good relationship.
The elevator stopped on the top floor.
Li Shi knocked gently on the door.
He had already prepared himself for there to be no one inside. After all, Li Shi was not renting this place for a long-term stay.
However, the door opened a moment later.
Li Shi looked up and saw Boss Pei, who was completely unprepared and confused.
Both of them looked at each other, stunned for a moment.
Pei Qian thought that Song Kai had come to look for him. Thus, he did not look through the peephole and opened the door directly.
If he had known that it was Boss Li, he might have considered pretending that he was not at home.
However, it was too late now.
"Boss Li?!
"Boss Pei?!"
Both of them exclaimed at the same time. However, Pei Qian's voice was filled with confusion while Li Shi's voice was filled with shock.
