Although Zhang Yuan did not know much about these things, he still had the basic knowledge to make judgments.
To choose a shop, one had to look at the location.
Some places called 'Golden Streets' had shops renting for six to seven yuan per square meter per day. Why was that?
It was because the location was good!
It was a good location, bustling place, and there was a high flow of people. Anything could be profitable.
On the contrary, if the location was bad and the flow of people was low, why would people come all the way here even if the shop was good?
Therefore, the best place was definitely the interior of a big commercial district, especially a big shopping mall.
The area around a university was also not bad.
However, this location was around an ordinary commercial district, separated from the shopping mall by a street. The surroundings were cold and deserted. One look and Pei Qian could tell that there were not many customers!
The rent of 3.50 yuan was not expensive, but the problem was that the location was not worth it!
Zhang Yuan was considering if he should say it or not.
After all, he was a newcomer. Would it be inappropriate to say anything rashly?
However, if he did not say anything and messed things up … whose fault would it be?
Zhang Yuan was very conflicted.
"Alright, this place is not bad. This is it!" Pei Qian decided on the spot.
Zhang Yuan, "…"
There was no need to be conflicted now.
Since Boss Pei had made the decision, he would be asking for trouble if he picked on this place now.
Zhang Yuan had no choice but to swallow the words he was about to say.
"Do you have the floor plan of this place?" Pei Qian asked.
"Yes, yes!" Ma Yang quickly clicked on the mouse and found the floor plan of the building. "It's here."
Pei Qian took a look. The place was not small. It was three thousand square meters.
In terms of area, it was about the same as the company's current office space.
However, this place was divided into two levels. The upper and lower levels were 1,500 square meters each.
"I'll briefly explain the plan. When the time comes, you can just follow it.
"The internet cafe is only one of the businesses of this shop. There are only fifty computers. If there are more than fifty customers, ask them to queue.
"As for the price … ten yuan per hour. That's not too much, right?
"You have to plan a bar counter. All kinds of drinks and drinks must be made according to bar standards. Zhang Yuan, don't you know how to mix drinks? Anyway, there won't be many customers. When you're free, you can make them a cup or two and show off your skills. Anyway, you have nothing to do. "
"Open up an area next to the bar counter to entertain guests. During the day, it will be a coffee shop. Play some light music and allow people to drink tea or play board games. At night, it will be a bar. Zhang Yuan, can't you be a resident singer? When you're in a good mood, you can go up and sing."
"Also, set aside a separate area for books. Just buy a bunch of books from the Internet or bookstores. If the guests have nothing to do while drinking coffee in the lounge, they can also read a book and cultivate their minds. "
"Also, we provide three meals a day! Wasn't this originally a restaurant? The kitchen should have everything, but don't keep the pots and pans they used. Purchase new ones! "
"Go online and hire a professional chef. Don't make fancy dishes like French or Japanese. Just make home-cooked dishes! Tomatoes and eggs, yuxiang shredded pork, hand-shredded cabbage, and so on. "
"Don't have too many dishes on the menu. Just ten or so dishes every month. If you're tired of them, change the menu after a month."
"The prices have to be more expensive than the restaurants outside. After all, our chef's skills are good! Of course, don't be too expensive. Just thirty percent more will do. "
"Set aside an area on the second floor as a shopping area. Sell some peripherals like mice, keyboards, and joysticks. Buy them from expensive foreign brands! We don't expect to make money. We just want to recoup our costs. "
"Set up a small theater next to it. Use it as a private theater. Just a dozen or so seats will do."
"Hmm, that should be enough."
"Our place might be small, but it has everything. Perfect!"
Ma Yang quickly took notes.
Hearing this, Zhang Yuan was stunned.
Did I hear wrongly?
Wasn't this place only three thousand square meters?
If he didn't know better, he would think that Boss Pei had booked the entire shopping mall!
This was a hodgepodge!
More importantly, who were the customers that he was targeting?
Were they here to surf the Internet, eat, or drink coffee?
What's more, the input and output were not proportional!
A private theater with only a dozen or so seats? Everyone else was just standing and watching?
A standalone building with three thousand square meters only had fifty computer seats?
What's more, the idea of turning it into a coffee shop during the day and a bar at night was really strange …
What's more, a bookshelf with a large number of books?
Everyone was here to surf the Internet. Who would watch?
On the surface, it seemed like the more services, the better. However, that was not the case at all.
As the saying went, don't bite off more than you can chew!
Nowadays, internet addicts were very poor. They surfed the Internet to play games. They were not particular about food and drinks. At most, they would go to the supermarket to buy a bottle of mineral water. They would not buy alcohol or drinks!
What's more, ten yuan an hour was not something that anyone could afford.
This place was quite remote. Even if some people came to drink coffee, they would not be able to support the shop's expenses.
The food and drinks were all traditional home-cooked dishes. That was even more ridiculous.
As for the bar …
Other people's bars had to organize all kinds of activities! Things like free nighttime beauties, awesome bands … in short, they had to use a certain method to market it!
What's more, a few hundred square meters for a small bar in a palm-sized place like this?
What's more, when people took the menu, they would see all kinds of high-end wine on the front and tomatoes, eggs, and shredded pork with garlic sauce on the back?
How was that possible?!
The more Zhang Yuan thought about it, the more he felt that it was unreliable.
This … would probably close down in one or two months!
As if sensing Zhang Yuan's doubts, Pei Qian took a step forward and made him speechless.
"This shop is Tengda Corporation's first step towards becoming a physical entity. Therefore, don't worry about short-term losses! It is a large-scale entertainment venue that combines entertainment, lifestyle, games, and many other elements. It is normal that it will not be accepted in the short term. The key is to slowly change people's mindset! "
Zhang Yuan opened his mouth and realized that he had nothing to say.
Alright, since Boss Pei had already said not to worry about short-term losses, then he would just do it …
In any case, he would get more than ten thousand yuan a month …
…
After sending Ma Yang and Zhang Yuan away, Pei Qian felt much more relaxed.
Pei Qian was very satisfied with this location.
Especially when he heard that it used to be a restaurant and that it had closed down, Pei Qian was even more satisfied!
If he were to create a hodgepodge of flashy but impractical things, he would not be able to make ends meet and would close down quickly. That was a sure thing!
Games and physical shops were the two main sources of losses. Pei Qian had to pay more attention to them.
As for Huang Sibo, he would at most lose a million yuan. It was not worth his attention.
As long as it was not too likely to make money, Pei Qian could not be bothered.
It was just a small video. Even if it received one or two sponsored partnerships, how much money could it make?
